Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 335 Don't Go, Ancestor Xuanyuan Sword Sharpening
Jing Qian's knowledge and actions were in harmony, and his thoughts were incredibly clear!

When he slapped Xuanyuan on the forehead, a powerful sword aura immediately erupted.

This palm strike seemed to have stirred the very essence of swordsmanship, which had been dormant for millennia.

A terrifying torrent of sword energy erupted from Xuanyuan's body, like a beam of light traversing the river of time and space!

Jing Qian, his robes fluttering, stood at the center of the storm of sword intent, letting countless sword shadows pass through him.

Instead of being surprised, he closed his eyes and sensed it, his smile deepening.

Then, in a flash, he arrived at the center of the arena.

Amidst the torrent of sword intent, a phantom figure vaguely emerged.

He was a man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in a blue robe and carrying a sword. His eyes and brows held a sharpness that seemed to be fighting against heaven and earth.

The phantom spoke, its voice like the chorus of ten thousand swords:
"Behold the sword!"

The avatar of [Xuanyuan] didn't waste any words and immediately threw himself into the battle.

An astonishing arc of sword light shot out from his body.

When the sword arc first appeared, it was only three feet long, but in the instant it swept out, it devoured all the light and sound around it.

Wherever the sword arc passed, space was torn open like a wet silk, revealing the chaotic void behind it.

Jing Qian stood still, the hem of his clothes fluttering in the silent storm.

This sword arc exists in every timeframe, past and future, sealing off almost all his possibilities of dodging.

The sword strike of [Xuanyuan] has completely merged with the power of the Great Dao of Time, bringing tremendous pressure!

Without a doubt, it was the strongest sword strike he had ever encountered in his life!
"Well come."

Facing the sword arc that sealed off time and space and pierced through the past and future, Jing Qian's eyes showed no fear, but instead shone with an even brighter light.

He didn't try to avoid it; it would have been futile anyway.

Under absolute temporal and spatial suppression, he slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread out, as if to grasp that invisible "now".

"The past is gone, the future is yet to come."

Jing Qian's voice was calm as water, yet it clearly pierced through the silence where the sword arc devoured everything.

"Only the present moment is my 'knowledge' and my 'action'."

His five fingers gently closed.

A rift in the void suddenly opened.

Within the [Sumeru] dimension, inside the [Tomb of Time], he unleashed all the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations] he had accumulated in advance!
These sword lights were like ancient ferocious beasts suddenly awakening from their slumber, or like a dam breaking and a galaxy bursting forth!

"Clang—clang clang clang—!"

The sword energy of Zhuxian tore through the void, following a mysterious and profound trajectory, weaving into a deadly sword net that also covered the past, present, and future.

This sudden, unimaginable torrent of sword formations clashed violently with [Xuanyuan]'s sword arc that pierced through time and space!
"boom!!!"

The earth-shattering roar shook the entire arena and even affected the real world outside.

Light and sound were torn apart by even more violent energy, the chaotic void was further expanded, and time and space in this area were completely engulfed in a chaotic storm!
"Cool!"

The power of Xuanyuan's sword arc far exceeded Jingqian's imagination.

This is far more powerful than the [Xuanyuan Sword Talisman] he had ever seen before!
Jing Qian unleashed forty-nine [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations] in succession, yet he still failed to kill [Xuanyuan]!
It didn't even completely shatter [Xuanyuan]'s sword arc.

This was far beyond his expectations!

Fortunately, his full power was not at a disadvantage, and the outcome of the confrontation was still undecided.

Right now, forty-nine sword lights are firmly protecting Jing Qian, creating an extremely powerful aura.

The arc of the [Xuanyuan] sword was also bounced back to [Xuanyuan]'s side, revealing its form as an exquisite sword pellet.

It wasn't until the end of the first wave of battles that the [Xuanyuan] avatar was fully awakened.

His eyes became more lively, and he seemed to have a more vibrant life force in them.

Then, looking at Jing Qian in front of him, he said:
"Put away all your messy tricks and I'll help you sharpen your sword."

Jing Qian was taken aback upon hearing this, before realizing that the Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor was treating him as a junior disciple of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and was about to give him a perk!

This is not surprising, of course, as the [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation] surrounding him was entirely supported by the [Xuanyuan Sword Light] and the [Sword Pellet].

He's even more like Xuanyuanzi than Xuanyuanzi himself!
It's not surprising that the Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor mistook someone for someone else.

The "sword sharpening" mentioned by [Xuanyuan] is a unique training method within the [Xuanyuan Sword Sect].

Between Xuanyuanzi, all other means were abandoned, and they fought only with the Xuanyuan Sword Pill.

During this process, the elders, with their superior strength and deeper understanding of sword pellet refinement, unreservedly identified the flaws in their disciples' sword pellets.

For younger disciples, this is a top-tier opportunity that can greatly improve the level of refining the [Sword Pellet].

The sword pellet in the hands of the [Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor] is already a powerful [Innate Spiritual Treasure] level. What an extraordinary opportunity it is that he personally takes action to sharpen the sword for Jing Qian.
Jing Qian's mind raced, and he instantly understood the key to it.

His original intention was to fight the incarnation of the [Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor] to the death.

But the Sword Ancestor was being too polite, making it impossible for him to refuse.

Without hesitation, with a thought, the forty-nine crisscrossing sword lights of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword receded like a tide, turning into specks of light that entered his body.

The sharp sword intent surrounding him also subsided, leaving only the purest natal sword pellet floating in front of him, emitting a clear and melodious hum.

This is a [Sacrificial Sword Pill] that has not yet been promoted to [Innate Spiritual Treasure], and is only at the [Divine Mechanism] level.

"Please enlighten me, Master."

Jing Qian bowed deeply, his expression respectful.

Upon seeing this, the avatar of [Xuanyuan] nodded slightly.

He gestured with his hand, and the exquisite sword pellet beside him began to spin, emitting a warm luster.

"Look carefully."

Before the words were finished, the [Xuanyuan] sword pellet suddenly lit up.

Lacking the overwhelming momentum that pierced through time and space before, this sword strike was simple and unadorned, yet it was faster than anyone could imagine.

The Xuanyuan Sword Pellet traced a mysterious trajectory in the air, pointing directly to the core of the Jingqian Sword Pellet's spiritual light.

"Ding--!"

The two sword pellets collided gently, producing a crisp, ringing sound.

Jing Qian was trembling violently.

At that moment, he felt as if the connection between himself and the sword pellet had been completely pierced.

Countless flaws that were usually difficult to detect, and subtle weaknesses left during the refining process, were all exposed by this one sword strike.

What's even more amazing is that Xuanyuan's sword intent was like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, not only pointing out the problems but also conveying the methods for repair and improvement through the collision.

"The second sword."

The voice of [Xuanyuan] emanation rang out once more.

The sword pellet moved again, but this time it was unusually slow.

As if bearing the weight of countless ages, it slowly pressed down on Jing Qian's sword pellet.

In this slow process, Jing Qian sensed the marks that time had left on the sword pellet. Which were necessary trials, which were pointless losses, which could be turned into an advantage, and which must be completely discarded…

Countless mysteries about the combination of the Great Dao of Time and the Dao of Sword are vividly displayed in this sword strike.

Jing Qian seemed to understand something, and his aura became even more refined.

"The third sword."

[Xuanyuan] showed no mercy, and the sword pellet suddenly split into countless forms.

Each sword light represents a possible variation in swordsmanship, from the simplest straight thrust to the most complex temporal and spatial folding, encompassing all aspects of sword pellet application.

Jing Qian held his breath and focused all his energy on unleashing the sword pellet to respond.

His swordsmanship is improving at a visible rate.

Many problems that had previously baffled people suddenly became clear at this moment; many applications that were once considered ingenious appeared crude and laughable under the demonstration of [Xuanyuan].

“Clang, clang, clang—!”

The sounds of swords and projectiles clashing were incessant, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, or the sound of pines rustling in a thousand valleys.

In this pure and efficient process of "sharpening the sword," Jing Qian's sword pellet became increasingly crystal clear, and its internal structure became increasingly perfect and flawless.

His own understanding of swordsmanship is also undergoing a qualitative leap.

When the final sword clash ended, both sword pellets remained stationary in mid-air.

Jing Qian's sword pellet has been completely renewed. Its surface flows with a warm, jade-like luster, and its interior faintly displays the strange phenomenon of a swirling galaxy. Clearly, its quality has been greatly improved.

The avatar of [Xuanyuan] looked at the sword pellet and nodded in satisfaction:

"His foundation is decent, and his comprehension is excellent. Given time, he may be able to inherit my swordsmanship."

Having said that, without waiting for Jing Qian's response, his figure slowly dissipated, transforming back into a sword light that disappeared into the sky above the arena.

This greatly alarmed Jing Qian, who quickly spoke up:
"Master, don't go!"

"This disciple has plenty of [Sword Pellets]!"

Having said that, he activated the four sword pellets, namely [Slaying Immortals], [Six Paths of Reincarnation], [Sumeru], and [Yin Extreme], and slashed towards [Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor].

The younger generation is shameless and greedy; they're determined to extort money from you!
[Xuanyuan]'s avatar, which was about to dissipate, suddenly solidified. Looking at the four completely different sword lights coming towards him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You young man... you're quite greedy."

Despite this, he was not truly angry. Instead, with a flick of his sleeve, the sword pellet that was about to dissipate reformed, radiating an even more dazzling light than before.

"Very well, since you have this opportunity, I will help you again today and see how far you can go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the [Xuanyuan] sword pellet split into four, each facing one of the four sword pellets that Jing Qian had offered up.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Four crisp collisions rang out almost simultaneously, and the entire arena seemed to transform into a giant sword-forging furnace.

The [Slaying Immortals] sword pellet was the most murderous, and when it collided with the [Xuanyuan] sword light, it burst out with scarlet sparks, as if countless vengeful spirits were howling.

However, under the pure and righteous sword intent of [Xuanyuan], those violent killing intents were gradually refined and suppressed, becoming restrained and pure.

The most profound of all is the sword pellet, in which the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation can be faintly seen flowing within the sword light.

When the [Xuanyuan] sword pellet collides with it, it seems to be enacting the mystery of life and death, clarifying the complex cause and effect, and making it more harmonious and coherent.

The [Sumeru] sword pellet is the heaviest, its sword light as sturdy as a mountain.

The [Xuanyuan] sword pellet uses skill to overcome force, striking the most critical point with each collision, optimizing its internal structure, maintaining its weight while doubling its agility.

The most bizarre of the [Cathode] sword pellets is the sword light that follows you like a shadow, as if it can devour all light.

The Xuanyuan Sword Pill, however, suppressed the sinister energy within with an upright and righteous manner, retaining its mysterious characteristics while possessing a different kind of majestic aura.

Jing Qian stood in the center of the room, his face pale but his eyes burning.

Simultaneously controlling five sword pellets to undergo tempering took a heavy toll on his mental energy.

But he could clearly feel that each sword pellet was undergoing a complete transformation.

Even more remarkably, the five sword pellets began to resonate with each other, their refinement processes racing against each other and gradually accelerating.

Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in the eyes of the [Xuanyuan] avatar:
"interesting!"

He formed a hand seal, and the [Xuanyuan] sword pellet suddenly enlarged, transforming into a huge phantom of a sword furnace, which enveloped all five sword pellets.

At the same time, one sword pellet after another began to fly out from the avatar of [Xuanyuan].

Dao Ancestor felt that one sword pellet wasn't enough, so he actually pulled out more [Innate Spiritual Treasure] sword pellets.

"Since you're so eager for this opportunity, I'll lend you a hand. But whether you can handle it depends on your fate!"

Inside the sword furnace, five-colored sword lights collided and merged wildly.

Jing Qian felt as if his divine sense was about to be torn apart, but he gritted his teeth and resisted with all his might, guiding the reforging of the five sword pellets.

After an unknown amount of time, as the phantom of the sword furnace gradually dissipated, the five sword pellets were reborn.

Just then, the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pellet] quietly shrank, transforming into a tiny point of light that fell deep into Jing Qian's dantian.

At the same time, within the [Sumeru] dimension, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation surged, and it began to undergo a strange transformation following the [Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Pill].

Jingqian, the last sword pellet to be forged, has also begun to evolve and improve towards becoming a [Primordial Spiritual Treasure].

Before long, another of his [spiritual treasures] will be born!
Furthermore, the remaining four [Sword Pills] have undergone this process of refinement, resulting in a significant improvement in quality.

Once the Six Paths of Reincarnation have completed their evolution, the Sumeru dimension will free up space and will also be arranged in order to evolve towards the rank of Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It can be said that this sword-sharpening saved Jingqian at least five hundred years of arduous cultivation!

The avatar of [Xuanyuan] looked at Jing Qian's changes and nodded in satisfaction:
"Although he's a bit thick-skinned, he actually has some real talent."

"gone!"

After saying that, his figure began to fade away again.

But unexpectedly, that brat Jingqian spoke again:

"Master, don't go!"

"This disciple is hoping to slay your avatar so that I can obtain the title of [Xunyue]!"

"Please grant my request, Master."

With a thought, the ungrateful wretch summoned forty-nine [Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formations] from the [Sumeru] dimension, which once again emerged and surrounded him.

His magnificent sword intent was aimed directly at the [Xuanyuan] avatar, and his fighting spirit was bursting.

The sword-sharpening just now was merely a prelude; Jing Qian was unwilling to let Xuanyuan leave easily.

But then, a slight smile finally appeared on the face of the [Xuanyuan Sword Ancestor] opposite them.

Such shamelessness, belligerence, and lack of morality among the younger generation of disciples fully embodies the ninja way of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and has deeply inherited its true teachings.

With such an outstanding successor, it would be a great pity not to kill the other side.

Therefore, the [Ancestor of the Xuanyuan Sword] made his move without hesitation!

(More tonight!)
