Crushing Yun Zhongzi in the Same Realm, Teaching the Killing Sword Dao!

Truly worthy of an Innate Demon God Origin.

To be reborn and emerge into the world for only eight thousand years, yet still cultivate the profound and mysterious Nine Revolutions Primordial Art, and actually reach True Immortal Early Stage in such a short time?

Truly worthy of the title True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue!

Qingyuan sighed deeply with admiration.

Speaking of which.

Over the years, he had converted his mana to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art to the third revolution's later stage, only reaching the peak of Half-step Profound Immortal.

During that time, he hadn't slacked off at all.

But Yun Zhongzi, on the other hand.

He wondered what the two would think if they knew each other's thoughts.

Then.

Qingyuan took out some tea leaves he had brewed, poured a cup for Yun Zhongzi, and said, "Disciple, how is your progress with the Azure Lotus Sword Technique?"

"Master, I have fully grasped this sword technique. However, the Nine Revolutions Primordial Art is profound and abstruse; I am still feeling my way forward, like crossing a river by touching the stones."

Yun Zhongzi answered truthfully.

"Good. To fully comprehend the Azure Lotus Sword Technique in such a short time is worthy of your talent."

Qingyuan's face showed relief, and he smiled, "Your master wishes to test the level of your swordsmanship. I will also use the True Immortal Early Stage to spar with you. How about it?"

"Master's guidance is an honor this disciple cannot thank enough, but..."

Yun Zhongzi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But this disciple's origin and foundation differ from ordinary beings. Master need not suppress his cultivation to True Immortal Early Stage; this disciple can fully withstand it."

"No matter, it's just a casual spar."

Seeing Qingyuan's insistence.

Yun Zhongzi could no longer dissuade him.

He had no choice but to follow him to the enormous White Jade Square outside the pavilion.

In a corner of the square stood a massive willow tree swaying in the wind. When it saw the two, it called out 'Great Master' and 'Little Master,' drawing Yun Zhongzi's gaze. His pupils slightly contracted.

He stared for a long time.

But found nothing unusual about the Willow Immortal.

He simply thought he had misseen something.

A light flashed in his hand, and the Azure Rainbow Sword pulsed with sharp, fierce edge. The gentle and refined Yun Zhongzi instantly became murderous, transforming into a god of slaughter, faintly revealing behind him the momentum of rolling Red Sand swallowing three thousand worlds.

"Master, this disciple presumes to overstep."

"Please."

Qingyuan casually hooked his hand, grabbing a branch from the Willow Immortal.

He used the willow branch as a sword.

Without using any magic treasure.

And suppressed his cultivation to the same True Immortal Early Stage as Yun Zhongzi.

Swish!

Sword light flashed.

In an instant, the vast square was covered in dazzling, cold light. Countless azure glows rained down like a sudden storm, blanketing the square with the phantom shadows of azure lotuses. Amidst the gorgeous display, a bone-chilling cold descended from all directions, like the bitter freeze of deep winter!!

Each azure lotus seemed to bloom independently.

But from an outside view, they formed a single, enormous Sword Qi azure lotus!

Clearly, Yun Zhongzi had grasped the true essence of the Azure Lotus Sword Technique, even improving upon it to surpass his master.

Making it exceptionally fierce!!

"Master, be careful!"

As Yun Zhongzi's words fell.

His figure vanished, disappearing from his spot in an instant.

He pulled all the sword lotuses together, surging forward as one.

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

Qingyuan's face showed admiration.

This single strike contained the power of multiple laws.

Even though Yun Zhongzi was only at True Immortal Early Stage, an ordinary Profound Immortal encountering this sword strike would likely have to shrink their neck and flee.

Truly worthy of being the reincarnation of Ancestor Hongyun.

"Disciple, your attainments in the way of the sword are impressive. Today, your master will teach you a new sword style!"

Qingyuan laughed heartily.

He suddenly raised the willow branch and casually thrust it into the void before him.

Yet this casual thrust pierced through the overwhelming canopy of Sword Qi azure lotuses like a bubble, forcing Yun Zhongzi, who had merged his entire being into a single sword strike, out from the void.

His face was pale with shock as he stared at the willow branch tip before his brow!

Within his heart, a thousand-foot wave surged.

How, how could this be?

A single willow branch had forced him out of a state nearly approaching the Sword Dao?

He hadn't seen his master use any divine ability or spell—just a natural sword swing—so why did it send a bone-chilling dread of near-death through him?

This thrust.

Could truly kill him!!

No wonder Yun Zhongzi was shaken.

Though Yun Zhongzi's realm was low, and he had no memories or preservation of past-life techniques or divine abilities, his insight, experience, and vision remained. His cultivation was as effortless as a big shot playing a low-level alt, picking up skills with ease.

But Qingyuan was genuinely just a Mystic Immortal.

Yet he possessed such means.

How could Yun Zhongzi not be stunned?

"Master, what divine ability did you use? Why..."

After coming to his senses, Yun Zhongzi hurriedly pressed for answers.

"It's no divine ability, just the Dao."

Qingyuan said calmly with a smile: "The Great Dao is simple; all paths lead to the same end."

"Whether you cultivate the Azure Lotus Sword Technique or the White Lotus Sword Technique, or any other sword technique, in the end, you must return to the path of the Sword Dao."

"What is the Sword Dao? It is nothing more than the unification of ten thousand swords, the simplification of ten thousand forces into the heart, the realization of the Law of Swordsmanship within the Hongmeng Great Dao, the understanding that in the Sword Dao, all things can be swords—plucking a leaf can sever stars through the ages, Sword Intent can cut through the River of Time, all things can be swords, and all things can be broken by the Sword Dao. One sword cleaves billions of great chiliocosms and the River of Time—this is the indestructible edge of the Sword Dao!"

"That strike you just made, though fierce in appearance, was riddled with flaws from the perspective of the Sword Dao!!"

"Sword Dao?" Yun Zhongzi's heart churned with a thousand-foot wave.

He hadn't thought much of it before.

After all, only above the Golden Immortal realm could one grasp shallow laws, and only above the Taiyi realm could one dare to speak of comprehending the Great Dao. Yet this mere Mystic Immortal was discussing the Hongmeng Law of Swordsmanship!!

How could this not astonish him?

"Your master sees that your talent in the Sword Dao is considerable. Today, I will teach you to comprehend the momentum of the Sword Dao. First, enter the Sword Dao through momentum—how about that?"

Qingyuan said with a gentle smile.

In truth, he could teach Yun Zhongzi the Chaos Purple Firmament Three Thousand Sword Daos.

But such a Sword Dao immortal technique, containing the multiple transformations of the Sword Dao—momentum, intent, thought, law—was a method directly leading to the Hunyuan Great Dao, encompassing three thousand Sword Daos.

With too low a realm, one could easily lose oneself in the Great Dao of the Sword and fail to return.

Thus, he would only teach some formidable sword momentum first, then gradually advance to the Sword Dao.

He himself had the system to organize and protect him from harm.

Yun Zhongzi might not be so lucky.

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi quickly cupped his hands and asked for guidance: "I beg Master to bestow the technique!"

"Disciple, watch closely. This is one of the three thousand Sword Daos—the Killing Sword Dao!"

A serious expression appeared on Qingyuan's face.

His aura soared without limit.

In Yun Zhongzi's eyes, the surrounding environment suddenly transformed into surging chaos, and Qingyuan became a towering, boundless demon god wielding a Chaos divine sword, unleashing the Killing Sword Dao that made the universe tremble!

Kill!

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!!

The Hongmeng myriad Daos nurtured the demon god, and none of the demon gods repaid kindness! Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!!!

Boom!

The ferocious, sky-piercing Killing Sword Dao surged like a mountain flood and tsunami into the back of Yun Zhongzi's mind, eventually condensing into a longsword phantom that sank deep into his consciousness, imprinting itself as a mark into his Primordial Spirit.

By the time Yun Zhongzi came to his senses, he found heaven and earth tranquil and serene, the atmosphere of his master's dojo peaceful, and the willow tree not far away lazily swaying its branches in the wind.

Where was any trace of 'kill'?
