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

Chapter 64 Immortal, Your Sword Path is Wrong! Chen Xin: My Path is Not Lonely!
One sword shatters the radiance of the Yao Guang.

Chen Xin took a step forward and instantly appeared several meters in front of Li Zhexian.

His white hair moved without wind as he gazed at the white-robed boy he had once regarded as his successor.

"Immortal, you have chosen the wrong path."

"Based on all laws, it seems to encompass everything, but in reality, its foundation lies entirely in all laws, not in the sword itself."

"External forces can provide temporary support, but they cannot build a towering sword tower."

"A sword should be pure; a heart should be singular."

"Anything else is a wrong path."

The hilt of the sword was stained red by the cracked tiger's mouth of Li Zhexian.

He was dressed in tattered white clothes, and a glaring scarlet mark hung at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Xin's "One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws" technique has reached a state of perfection, far beyond what he can achieve at this moment.

however.

In those young, dark eyes.

There was not a trace of confusion, only a sharp and clear mind burning like a flame.

Li Zhexian, leaning on his Azure Lotus Sword, slowly straightened his spine, wiped the blood from his lips, his voice slightly hoarse from the surging of his blood and qi:
"Senior Chenxin's sword strike was astonishing."

"You have broken my Yao Guang in an instant; I, your junior, have learned your lesson."

"But why do you assert that my use of starlight and the sword of ice and fire is a wrong path?"

In Li Zhexian's eyes, it seemed as if a galaxy was swirling and ice and fire were intertwined.

His blood-stained hand pointed to the starry sky, then to the wind and vegetation in the courtyard.

"As the elders said, a sword should be pure, and a heart should be singular."

"Dare to ask senior..."

What is purity? What is uniqueness?

"In the eyes of the younger generation..."

"Isn't the trajectory of this vast galaxy the most magnificent and exquisite sword mark in the world?"

"Isn't this clash of ice and fire, this cycle of birth and death, the most primal and violent sword intent in the universe?"

Li Zhexian's voice suddenly became resounding.

The Azure Lotus Sword in his hand rang out incessantly, resonating with its master's swordsmanship.

"My all-encompassing swordsmanship does not rely on external forces!"

"Instead, he uses his body as a sheath and his heart as a guide, fusing all the principles and laws of the universe into a single sword!"

"The shimmering starlight is not an illusion, but the cosmic order reflected in my sword heart!"

"The intertwining of ice and fire is not an illusion, but the principle of Yin and Yang activated by my sword energy!"

"What you broke through, senior, was not my delusion, but rather the gap in my current state where I have not yet perfectly fused all things into a single sword!"

Li Bai's imposing presence did not diminish but rather increased.

The pain seemed to transform into kindling, igniting a deeper understanding.

He stared directly into Chen Xin's calm, still eyes, his sharp edge fully revealed.

"In Senior Chenxin's eyes..."

"Starlight is just starlight, ice and fire are just ice and fire; they are illusions that need to be broken through."

"But in my heart, they are all the embodiment of the sword, the ladder to a higher realm."

"Senior slays all phenomena with a single power!"

"But I will use all things to prove the oneness!"

"My path is not to build castles on the sand, but to gather a hundred rivers to form a vast ocean, and to fuse ten thousand stars to forge a divine blade!"

"Today you were able to break my unfinished sword, senior. Who knows if, one day when I have mastered it and the sword of 'All Things Return to One' is drawn, your 'One and Only' sword will still be able to cut through it as easily as it has today?!"

Li Zhexian took out the Clear Spring Wine Pot from his back and drank it down in a frenzy.

Under Chen Xin's slightly surprised gaze.

A soul ring, shimmering with light of several attributes and imprinted with twelve sharp sword feather marks, rose up from beneath Li Zhexian's feet with a roar.

The twelve Azure Lotus Swords connected instantly, forming a formidable sword formation that protected him within.

Li Zhexian's voice was deep and solemn:
"My Myriad Manifestations Sword Dao is not yet fully mastered."

"However, we can also borrow the power of soul rings and soul bones to temporarily counter even a fraction of their sharpness!"

laugh--!
A chilling sword-like bone emerged from the tear in his clothes on his back, stretching out like a dragon.

A blue lotus sword wreathed in starlight, and another blue lotus sword that spewed ice and fire, hovered behind him, their sword intent chilling.

He stepped into the core of the sword formation.

In an instant, light and shadow intertwined within the sword formation, and two Li Zhexian figures, each imbued with a different sword intent, materialized.

Several distinct yet shared sword intents clashed fiercely within the sword formation, creating a truly bizarre and terrifying spectacle.

Chen Xin's gaze narrowed slightly.

He wielded the Seven Kill Sword and preached the Way through his own actions.

Pure sword intent erupted forth, meeting the three Li Zhexians and the two Azure Lotus Swords with different attributes.

The sound of metal clashing was as dense as a sudden rainstorm!

It's getting more urgent and louder!

finally.

A pure sword light swept across.

The formation and the illusory figures were all destroyed. Li Zhexian staggered backward, his blood and qi churning.

Yet those eyes remained clear and bright, their fighting spirit undiminished.

"The Way of the Myriad Phenomena Sword..."

"This soul skill and soul bone..."

Chen Xin sheathed the Seven Kill Sword, placed his right hand behind his back, and faced away from Li Zhexian, his tone complex and difficult to understand:

"At this age, I am far inferior to you."

“Immortal, your plans are grand, and you are exceptionally gifted. The two sword intents have already taken shape.”

"But human strength has its limits; when will it end?"

"The all-encompassing swordsmanship?"

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

Gazing at the white-clad figure's retreating back, a complex emotion flickered in Li Zhexian's eyes.

After a long silence, he said softly:
"Life is finite, but knowledge is infinite."

He swore an oath with his life to pursue the ultimate truth of swordsmanship in his heart.

Chen Xin's figure swayed slightly, transforming into a dazzling stream of light, and sped off towards the east.

Far away.

The sound came on the wind:

"I will come to see you again in a month."

"If you are convinced that this path is feasible, you may wish to practice the Upper Three Schools and the Lower Four Schools."

"There may be something there that can help you."

Facing the direction where the light disappeared, Li Zhexian bowed deeply and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you... Senior Chenxin for your guidance."

He paused and asked:
"May I ask, senior, what realm lies above the third realm, 'Slaying the Night'?"

There was silence for a long time.

Li Zhexian believed that his worldly desires had long since faded away.

A delicate plum blossom petal drifted down and landed quietly on his shoulder.

At the same time, Chen Xin's distant voice seemed to ring right next to his ears.

"You'll understand when you get there."

That night.

Li Bai sat alone under a plum tree, drinking alone under the moon.

The crisp liquor went down my throat, but my thoughts kept churning.

The profound mysteries of the fourth realm of swordsmanship, and the bits and pieces of Chen Xin's past... lingered in his mind.

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Having known each other for decades, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong could no longer remember how many years it had been since they had seen Chen Xin laugh so heartily.

That day.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Chen Xin has just returned.

He drank the strong liquor he had abstained from for decades, and his loud laughter echoed through the courtyard:

"I am not alone!"

"I am not alone!"

Since that night.

Li Zhexian secluded himself in seclusion.

He repeatedly honed and refined all the soul skills and sword techniques he had learned.

A few days later, when they came out of the customs, they found that all their friends had become busy people.

With the Soul Master Tournament approaching, several top academies sent their seeded players to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for exchange and competition before the official start of the tournament.

This matter was personally handled by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and the Royal Fighting Team intensified their special training.

Li Zhexian, on the other hand, has temporarily enjoyed this leisure.

This day was extremely boring.

He then went alone to his usual noodle stall.

The storyteller across from me continued his eloquent speech.

Li Zhexian, holding a bowl of noodles, listened intently.

And just then.

The air around us was originally cool.

It suddenly became hot without any warning.

Li Zhexian sensed something and subconsciously looked up.

A group of young men and women walked briskly into the small noodle stall.

They were surrounded by an aura that was completely out of place with the everyday life of the city.

It brought a moment of silence to the bustling stalls.
