Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 290 The Twelve Sections of the Heaven-Reaching Sword Bone: Forging One's Own Path to Godhood

"Senior is so complimentary."

Li Zhexian bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

Qian Daoliu slowly said:

"With your talent, you should have already gained the favor of a certain deity and are currently undergoing divine testing."

Li Zhexian remained calm:
"This junior has not undergone the divine test."

"Ok?"

Qian Daoliu slowly turned around, revealing a handsome middle-aged face.

His eyes were like deep pools, as if molten gold was flowing within them.

“With your talent, you should not have gone unnoticed by the gods.”

Li Zhexian pondered for a moment.

He felt that he didn't need to be overly modest in front of Qian Daoliu.

Just say it directly.

“Indeed, a deity has repeatedly helped me, and I am grateful to that being.”

"also……"

"The Asura God once said that he wanted me to undergo the Asura God's test."

“But I refused.”

For the first time, Qian Daoliu was visibly moved.

Confusion, shock, and disbelief flashed across his face in an instant.

Why did you refuse the divine test?

Back in the day, he, Tang Chen, and Poseidon defeated all the masters in the world, each earning the title of invincible in the sky, on land, and in the sea.

Because of Poseidon's saying, "He who becomes a god will win my heart."

He returned to the Spirit Hall in despair, often lamenting why he was only a guardian of the Angel God and not the one to inherit the divine position.

In his pursuit of a divine position, Tang Chen disappeared for decades, and his fate remains unknown.

The divine position that their generation had sought so desperately but could not attain was rejected by the young man before them.

This "invincible in the sky" is truly incomprehensible.

Li Zhexian sat cross-legged opposite Qian Daoliu, with his sword held horizontally in front of his knees.

"If I want to become the God of Asura, I must be ruthless and devoid of desire, and I must also discard the sword in my hand."

“Then I would rather give up the position of Asura God.”

Qian Daoliu frowned.

"The gods are supreme."

"Since you have already refused once, there is absolutely no way you can be favored a second time."

"You have cut off your own path to godhood."

Spirit world.

Inside a temple where light and shadow intertwine.

Ji Dong gently pushed the swing, and Lie Yan sat leisurely on it.

Before the two, clouds condensed into a screen, reflecting the scene of Li Zhexian and Qian Daoliu sitting and talking.

Seeing the boy in the light screen solemnly say "I am grateful," Ji Dong's usually stern face showed a hint of satisfaction.

"I'm appreciating this kid more and more."

"Unfortunately……"

"He is not compatible with my evil divine position."

Lieyan wore a white dress, the hem of which swayed gently, exuding a soft, divine power.

"It's too early to say that we don't fit together."

“This young man’s swordplay is focused on one thing, and his ‘pure’ sword intent resonates somewhat with my divine position of kindness.”

"Ok?"

Ji Dong raised an eyebrow slightly.

Flames then chuckled:
"Judging from what this human said, it seems that the God of Asura has given up on Li Zhexian?"

Ji Dong smiled upon hearing this.

"give up?"

"That guy, the Asura God, most wants to travel the universe."

"Having finally found such a satisfactory successor, how could I easily let go?"

"Blazing Flame, believe it or not, the God of Asura is watching right now."

he said.

His gaze returned to the boy in the light screen, and he said slowly:

"Although the gods are supreme."

"But such a brilliant and talented young man is favored by the gods again and again."

Inside a temple floating on a sea of ​​blood.

The Asura God leaned back on his throne, resting his chin on his hand, gazing serenely at the curtain of the sky.

He whispered indifferently:
"A mere servant of the gods dares to presume to know the will of the gods, utterly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

The words fell.

Blood-red lightning bolts cleaved down from the sky, and the sea of ​​blood surged and roared for thousands of miles.

Qian Daoliu's tone returned to calm:
"I thought you could become a god together with Xue'er."

"Now it seems..." "Your chances of becoming a god are slim."

"Years later, when you become a handful of dust, I do not want to see Xue'er grieving for you in her endless lifespan."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words.

Li Zhexian remained calm, neither saddened, flustered, nor angry; he simply responded:

"If becoming a god is the only way to be with Xue'er, then I will become a god."

"If there is no divine position for me in the divine realm, then I will forge my own path to godhood."

His posture was upright, and eight of the twelve segments of his Dazhui sword bone already possessed flowing sword intent, which complemented his flawless, crystal-like body.

Inheriting another's divine position?
What about the Azure Lotus Sword Song he painstakingly created and the flawless body he cultivated?
If it is tainted by other divinities, is it still his own path?
Li Zhexian has no idea how the divine examination went!
But he possesses twelve sections of heaven-reaching sword bones!

Once the twelve sword intents are mastered, the sword bones will connect directly to the spiritual platform, and the myriad sword techniques will be perfected...

He was confident that he could forge a path to heaven!
"Creating one's own divine position..."

Qian Daoliu looked at the white-robed youth opposite him. The latter had a calm expression, without the stirring of grand words or the stubbornness of clenching his fists.

State the facts calmly and composedly.

"It's a good thing for young people to be proud."

"But passing the divine test is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Creating one's own divine position..."

"Even with your talent, you are destined to waste your life..."

Just as Li Zhexian was about to respond, his expression suddenly shifted slightly, and he said no more.

Qian Daoliu remained silent.

With a light, quick step, Qian Renxue walked briskly over, carrying two jade bottles in her hands.

She went to the side of the hall to make tea, then turned to look at Qian Daoliu:
"grandfather……"

Qian Daoliu said helplessly:
“I did not make things difficult for him.”

Qian Renxue looked at Li Zhexian and saw him smile and nod, which reassured her slightly.

Drink a cup of tea.

The atmosphere wasn't lively.

Li Zhexian then took his leave under a pretext.

Qian Renxue escorted him directly to the foot of the sacred mountain, without seeing even a few worshippers along the way.

This kind of situation.

She knew perfectly well.

Grandpa must have had an unpleasant encounter with Li Zhexian.

"Exiled Immortal..."

Qian Renxue gently bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and said sadly:
You don't need to take what Grandpa said to heart.

"It's me who likes you, not him."

"I know."

Li Zhexian embraced Qian Renxue's slender waist, the cool fragrance of the girl's hair lingering in his nostrils. His voice was soft yet utterly resolute:

"anyway……"

"No one can stop you from being with me."

"Even gods won't do."

Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled slightly, and she nodded emphatically.

Li Zhexian suddenly felt a slight dampness on his lapel. He lifted her face and saw that the person in his arms was already in tears.

"You...go find Zhu Qing quickly."

Qian Renxue hurriedly wiped away her tears and said apologetically:
"I still need to stay in the temple to cultivate."

"Immortal, please give my regards to Zhu Qing."

"Once I complete the seventh test of the angels and break through the title, I will come to find you."

Farewell to the towering snow.

Li Zhexian reunited with Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and others in Wuhun City.

The group immediately set off to return to Tiandou.

"Bibi Dong's establishment of a kingdom and her claim to the throne is no small matter; the three upper sects must join forces to deal with it!"

"Furthermore, the Haotian Sect's attitude is unclear; they left before the Seven Sects Re-selection was even over!"

"Let's discuss this in more detail when we get back!"

As Ning Fengzhi and the others were talking, they glanced at the young man who was drinking with his head tilted back.

"Immortal, shall we return together?"

"No."

Li Zhexian raised his hand to wipe away the wine stains and looked at the sea of ​​clouds in front of him.

Amidst the vast expanse of misty waters.

A wisp of purple cloud drifted and swirled.

In a trance.

He seemed to see the girl who had dressed him in a purple dress, looking down with a gentle smile, softly asking him, "Does it look good?"

Longing is like wine, the more you drink, the stronger it becomes.

"I will go to Xingdou first, and then return to Tiandou after I have finished my business."
