Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Liu Bai was poised to strike, and Hyuga Hoshino glanced at Liu Bai, who was empty-handed, and decided to lend him a sword.

The Tai'a sword can be used by Deng Tai'a, who is played by the same actor, and Liu Bai should also be able to use it.

Liu Bai caught Tai'a and felt a connection between their energies, as if it were his natal sword.

The Tai'a Sword is a majestic sword. Originally formless and traceless, its sword energy has long existed between heaven and earth, waiting only for the right moment to condense. When the three elements of timing, location, and human harmony are in harmony, the sword will be formed.

To put it bluntly, it means whoever is stronger and more authoritative will be obeyed. Liu Bai met its requirements, so the Tai'a Sword automatically recognized him as its master.

The Tai'a Sword from the fantasy world appeared naturally when Hinata Hoshino simply wanted to find it after he had taken over the world.

Liu Bai gripped the Tai'a sword, his eyes filled with the sword intent of the Great River, as if he had already merged with the Tai'a sword in his hand.

For the first time in his life, Liu Bai felt unable to draw his sword. Hyuga Hoshino seemed to be full of openings, but Liu Bai felt that as long as he made any move, he would surely be defeated.

Liu Bai suppressed his unease and suddenly moved. His sword shot out like lightning, the tip pointing directly at Hyuga Hoshino.

Instantly, a sword aura, like the surging waves of a great river, filled the air. This aura was as treacherous as a raging torrent, yet as calm as a deep, icy pool. The sword aura traced a long trail in the air; one could not help but see the waters of a great river descending from the heavens.

Hinata Hoshino gripped the Crimson Sky Sword and also shot out into the air to meet the sword energy.

The two swords clashed, producing a crisp metallic clang that echoed through the silent mountainside.

Liu Bai frowned. As soon as they exchanged blows, he sensed that Hyuga Hoshino had no sword intent whatsoever, but his sword moves were perfect and contained something he couldn't understand.

The power of the law, when Hyuga Hoshino swung his sword, unconsciously brought with it the power of the law of death, making Liu Bai feel as if he were an ordinary person walking a tightrope ten thousand meters in the air.

Liu Bai's swordsmanship reached its peak at this moment. His sword danced like a nimble snake, so fast that it was dazzling.

Liu Bai's younger brother, Liu Yiqing, arrived at the scene at some unknown time, his eyes filled with worry. Currently, Liu Bai was being suppressed on the field.

Liu Bai pushed his sword energy to its limit, unleashing a river of sword intent. If it were Liu Yiqing himself, he would feel that he was already dead.

The air was filled with Liu Bai's sword intent, but Hyuga Hoshino dealt with it calmly. Liu Bai took a deep breath, firmly believing that it was better to have a foot in front of him than to send his sword flying thousands of miles.

In contrast to the swords of the entire Haotian world, most swordsmen who learn swordsmanship ultimately aim to take the heads of others from thousands of miles away.

Liu Bai stepped forward and slashed, unleashing his sword intent domain, the one-foot-wide domain he was most proud of.

As the master of the world, Hyuga Hoshino could clearly sense that the area a foot in front of Liu Bai could be considered a world of its own, but the power of this world was still relatively weak.

The laws of space unfolded, silently seizing control of the foot in front of Liu Bai. Liu Bai's eyes widened as he felt the foot in front of him disappear.

Liu Bai relinquished control of this small area, compressing his sword intent infinitely; this strike was sure to be earth-shattering.

A seemingly ordinary sword strike, yet the moment it landed, space cracked and all laws decayed. This sword strike was already a full-force attack from a third-level Human Immortal.

With a touch of respect, Hinata Hoshino clenched his right hand, and under the bright, clear sky, the Big Dipper shone brightly, revealing the Seven Star Demon-Subduing Sword.

The power of the Big Dipper stars condensed on the Crimson Sky Sword, and it swung in the opposite direction of Liu Bai. The moment the sword was swung, it seemed as if the chaos had been set right, and the cracks that Liu Bai had cut with his sword gradually healed.

Seeing this, Liu Bai realized that he had lost. However, Liu Bai was a swordsman, and he did not abandon his sword. Instead, his hand holding the sword and his heart holding the sword became even more determined.

He was determined to unleash this sword strike, no matter the cost. Liu Bai's hair began to turn gray; this was a burning of life, a sublimation to the utmost, a sword strike that cleaved the heavens.

Liu Bai often thought about how dashing and resolute Ke Haoran was when he brandished his sword to the sky, and how he envied him.

However, he is still the master of the Sword Pavilion and the guardian of Southern Jin. He cannot have his wish fulfilled today.

Chapter 300 Defeat of Liu Bai, Haotian's Awareness

Liu Bai swung his sword, and just as it landed, Hyuga Hoshino swung his sword to counter. Liu Bai's all-out attack was deflected.

Liu Bai looked somewhat dejected; his energy and spirit vanished in an instant, as if he were about to die of old age.

Qiong Cang opened one eye. The aftershocks of their battle far exceeded the sixth realm. He wanted to see if anyone had achieved the sixth realm, or even higher, right under his nose.

"Liu Yiqing, I'm taking your brother to the academy for treatment. I'm also bringing people to fetch him."

Hinata Hoshino led Liu Bai away from the Sword Pavilion, took a long detour, covered the two of them with human power, and returned to the academy.

Liu Bai's biggest regrets, besides not having fought against the Master, were that he had never lived on the second floor of the academy.

The elixir of immortality was stuffed into Liu Bai's mouth, and with a pat on his throat, Liu Bai swallowed it.

"Why did you bring Liu Bai back?"

“I got into a fight with him, and he almost committed suicide. I brought him back to get him treated so he wouldn’t try to extort money from me.”

The Master was somewhat helpless. After Liu Bai swallowed the elixir of immortality, his hair returned to its pure black color, and his eyes regained some luster. When he saw the Master, he was somewhat excited, "Liu Bai of the Southern Jin Sword Pavilion pays his respects to the Master."

"Alright, alright, Liu Bai, since you're here, why not stay a few more days? It'll be good for you to recuperate and think things through."

"Yes."

Take your time.

"Master."

"Arrange a room for Liu Bai."

"Ok."

So Liu Bai decisively settled in. He had plenty to eat and drink, could see his idol every day, and didn't have to put on airs like a guardian deity of a nation. Liu Bai thought this kind of life was pretty good.

His younger brother, Liu Yiqing, was going crazy. With Liu Bai gone, all the burdens fell on his shoulders, but he didn't have Liu Bai's strength.

Liu Yiqing looked at the deep pool that Liu Bai had been carrying all year round with a headache and said anxiously, "Big brother, come back quickly! I really can't hold on any longer!"

Liu Yiqing suddenly remembered something: Liu Bai was still nominally a guest of Xiling, and a letter asking for help was sent to Xiling.

Looking at Liu Yiqing's actions, Hinata Hoshino could only say one thing: "You're brain-dead."

This guy has absolutely no sense of the situation, and Hinata Hoshino has already left a message asking him to come and recommend someone. Does Liu Yiqing think he's not qualified enough and needs to find a backer?

The headmaster of Xiling, Xiong Chumo, looked at the letter. Had the Master kidnapped Liu Bai? What a strange piece of news.

However, he had always wanted to find a pretext to put pressure on the Tang Kingdom and highlight the reputation of their Xiling Temple as Haotian's lackeys, tui, and Haotian's most loyal believers.

To put it bluntly, if you want to meddle in other people's business, you'd better expand your sphere of influence.

"Liu Bai, your brother seems to be having some mental issues."

"What did he do?"

"They sought help from Xiling, and then Xiling wanted to issue a statement criticizing the Tang Kingdom."

"What?"

Liu Bai thought Hinata Hoshino was joking. How could Liu Yiqing possibly ask Xiling for help? Hinata Hoshino shrugged. He might not have thought that Haotian could help.

Sang Sang's gaze swept towards the border, and the power of the Goddess Haotian within her flashed by. The ingredients added to the dragon meat had taken effect, and it wouldn't be so easy for her to awaken next time.

"Who knows? Anyway, it's already happened."

“I will post an article to reprimand him for being ignorant.”

Xiong Chumo's manifesto had just left Xiling when Liu Bai's manifesto spread throughout the land.

I, Liu Bai, am a guest at the academy. My younger brother, being ignorant, informed Xiling that I was being held in captivity. This was a misunderstanding, and I am deeply sorry for the great impact it has caused. I hope you can forgive me.

Xiong Chumo wanted to rebuke Tang Guo, but his article that secretly smeared the Master became a joke, and Hinata Hoshino found the whole thing interesting.

Yu Lian was still copying the book, her small regular script was quite skillful. If you didn't know that she was once the leader of the Demon Sect and the master of Empress Xia Tian, ​​it would be hard to imagine that she used to be a man.

"Could I see the Twenty-Three-Year Cicada?"

"What, you want to practice too?"

"I wouldn't dare. Given your situation, most men wouldn't dare to train here."

Yu Lian generously wrote down the secret manual, and Hinata Hoshino read it on the spot. The idea was that there was a kind of cicada in the arid land of the far west. This cicada hid in the mud for twenty-three years, and after it emerged from the ground, it could suppress the earth's veins and absorb the earth's energy, instantly increasing its cultivation by twenty years.

Hinata Hoshino stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled. Twenty-three years just for twenty years of cultivation?

"So, why was I allowed to cultivate for twenty-three years directly? This way, my cultivation level could be increased by twenty-three years."

"You know the Demonic Sect's cultivation methods. On one hand, you cultivate with constant fear, risking death by exploding at the slightest mistake. On the other hand, you conceal your cultivation level and slowly improve without the danger of exploding. Even if you reach the sixth realm, Haotian won't be able to detect it. Which one do you choose?"

"Indeed, the choice was not wrong. It is Haotian's fault, it is the world's fault."

Hinata Hoshino looked at Yu Lian, who frowned slightly. Was she still bothering her?

"Reach out and let me show you the power of other worlds."

Yu Lian's curiosity was piqued, and she reached out her hand. Hinata Hoshino grasped her hand, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Azure chakra gathered at his fingertips and pressed into Yu Lian's palm. "The fusion of spiritual and physical energy, this is chakra."

Yu Lian revealed a portion of the essence of the Heavenly Demon Realm, grasping the chakra. "Interesting energy, but unfortunately, unless one has abundant life energy, their achievements will be limited."

"Knowing only one side of the story, but not the other, one can obtain chakra by using an entire world as a source of sustenance. Moreover, chakra is a bond that connects us, and we can also plunder each other."

"A force that goes against the natural order."

"The cultivation methods of the Demonic Sect also defy the heavens."

"Ha, I can't argue with you. Next."

"This is magic."

The power rising from Hinata Hoshino's fingertips encompasses all things—elements, life...

"It seems to encompass all things, but in reality it lacks artistic conception. It is very powerful, but it cannot compare to the heavens."

"Very sincere. As far as I know, the upper limit of this power is not as high as Haotian's power, but that's all I know so far."

"Next?"

"This is Qi."

The innate Qi has a more profound Daoist meaning. Yu Lian exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? It doesn't feel as good as the previous two powers."

That's because it can transform.

The magical power represented by the power of the immortal was pressed into Yu Lian's palm. Yu Lian felt a pain in her palm and could not grasp this power at all.

"The required talent is far too high."

"Not bad, not bad, I can see it. Great wisdom, great perseverance, and great merit are all indispensable."

Yu Lian quietly watched Hinata Hoshino. She realized what was going on; this was a sales pitch. The Demonic Sect's power was unsuitable for cultivation, and the Demonic Sect was practically nonexistent by now.

Yu Lian also wanted to help the Demon Sect grow stronger, but she was powerless to do so.

"What's the price?"
