Sword Rainbow Light Splitting
With a loud "boom," Chen Mobai took his tenth step, and his Spiritual Sense jolted.
It felt as if the Spirit Barrier of the Formless Puppet had been bombarded by a violent storm, constantly twisting and deforming, and was about to break.
However, with the continuous supply of spiritual energy from the High-grade Spirit Stone, they managed to hold on in the end.
Chen Mobai was eager to take things a step further, but then he saw a yellow alert coming from the Formless Puppet.
This means that the Spirit Barrier's Restriction have reached the warning level. Although it hasn't broken down to the red level yet, it means that it's about to reach the critical point.
Chen Mobai waited for two seconds, but the Great Dao Tree, which was so close at hand, still did not react.
Can't even take ten steps?
Standing on the periphery, Chen Mobai looked disappointed, but he didn't intend to risk damaging the Formless Puppet Puppetry and began to manipulate it to retreat.
However, just as he took a step back, the Great Dao Tree, which had been as silent as a mountain, began to emit a faint blue light.
Just as Chen Mobai was at a loss, a Green Leaf fell and merged into the Formless Puppet.
The moment Chen Mobai's Spiritual Sense, which was possessed by the body, came into contact with a vast and powerful, heavy will, he felt his vision go black and almost fainted.
[Ten steps before the Great Dao Tree, achieving a superior result, qualifies one to become True Disciple of the Longevity Sect.]
[True Disciple may be bestowed with a higher level of a Great Art. Please select the Great Art you wish to experience and comprehend.]
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai had only one thought in his mind.
"So, tell me how to choose?" As if sensing his thoughts, another message surfaced in her mind.
[Defensive Great Art can be cast directly, while offensive Great Art should be directed at the Great Dao Tree itself.]
At this moment, Chen Mobai saw the yellow alert on the Spirit Barrier screen of the Formless Puppet suddenly upgrade to red, and knew that he could no longer waste time, and that the Puppetry had no other choice.
He immediately raised his right hand and pointed his fingers to form a sword.
A crimson sword rainbow began to condense, a spark bloomed, and then it exploded completely, like a rainbow of light covering the sky, slashing down onto the main body of the Great Dao Tree in front of it.
It was only then that Chen Mobai noticed that the Bark the Divine Tree, which was so close at hand, had many marks from knife cuts, sword strikes, and even fist and claw marks.
The latest one is a fingerprint.
With a "whoosh," his Crimson Flame Sword Rainbow resembled a rain of laser swords, leaving a few slightly charred marks on the Great Dao Tree.
It seems a bit too weak.
But there was nothing he could do; this was the strongest attack Chen Mobai could unleash.
If it were his true form, he wouldn't even be as good as this Formless Puppet.
As soon as Chen Mobai unleashed his sword strike, he felt the Spirit Barrier shatter. Just as he was about to retreat, the Great Dao Tree gave him its feedback.
[Among the Twenty-Four Great Arts of the Longevity Sect, there is no such sword energy.]
What does this mean? Did I take those ten steps for nothing? Just as Chen Mobai was feeling a bit annoyed and the Formless Puppet was about to retreat, the Great Dao Tree finally sent another message.
[I hereby bestow upon you the realm of ' Sword Rainbow Light Splitting '!]
Then, the Green Leaf Spiritual Sense had merged into Chen Mobai's Puppetry suddenly burst forth with boundless light, instantly burning and transforming into a Purple Fire Sword Talisman that merged into it.
With their Spiritual Sense connected, Chen Mobai's true form, who was sitting on the outside watching the show, also let out a scream at the same time.
He felt as if his Spiritual Sense, manifested as Jade Wutong, was being scorched by flames. This caused Chen Mobai was already not very able to withstand pain and even had to be careful Splitting Spirit Manifesting Thought, to be instantly knocked unconscious by the intense burning pain.
[The Longevity Dao Inquiry Pass has ended; the disciple returns.]
Before Chen Mobai lost consciousness, he heard the last message from the Great Dao Tree.
Then, his body began to shimmer with silvery-white light, and the power of space fluctuated, teleporting him back to Giant Wood Ridge.
[Beep beep beep]! At this moment, after being integrated into the phone, the Turtle Treasure, which had been silent until now, suddenly started popping up a window. The piercing sound was even audible to Chen Mobai, who was in a coma.
In his hazy state of consciousness, all Chen Mobai wanted to do was turn off the annoying phone notifications.
[Host detected traversing the Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane, leaving this realm. Should we anchor to this New World for future teleportation?]
Then, Turtle Treasure's words instantly woke Chen Mobai, who had fallen into a coma, and he barely managed to muster a bit of energy.
Amidst the intense pain of being scorched by flames, he forcefully heightened his Spiritual Sense and issued the command "Yes".
He could no longer hold on and fell into a coma.
When Chen Mobai woke up, it was already ten days later.
He lay down in the room of the Divine Wood Hall.
"Senior brother, you're awake. Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
The speaker was Yan Jinye. As a true disciple of the Alchemy Department, she was also skilled in medicine. After Grandmaster Zeng confirmed that Chen Mobai Chen Mobai not in any danger, she, as his disciple, was left to take care of him.
"Thank you for your hard work, junior sister. She's a little dazed, but she's fine overall."
Chen Mobai woken up and was a little confused about the situation, so he answered very cautiously.
"That's good. I'll go and inform the sect Sect Leader."
Yan Jinye breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and left.
A short while later, Meng Hong led in a thin, middle-aged man with a gaunt face and a goatee.
"Yes, your Qi and Blood are abundant, and your spiritual energy is also stable. According to your pulse, you have fully recovered."
The middle-aged man was Grandmaster Zeng from the Alchemy Department. He was the one who refined the Yao Beast Foundation Establishment Pill for Chen Mobai, and he was also Yan Jinye's master.
"You've gained something from the Great Dao Tree. Those three guys were only unconscious for a day before they woke up and came to report to the Divine Wood Hall. You, on the other hand, were unconscious for a full ten days, almost as long as Hong He."
Meng Hong pointed at Yan Jinye and said, and the latter lowered her head in shame.
"But we did gain something."
Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, then decided it was better to solidify his image as a genius, since he and Hong He were now known as the Peerless Duo of Divine Wood Sect.
Hong He may have taken ten steps as well, and that fingerprint should be his.
Since the two are equally famous, Chen Mobai naturally cannot hide his talents.
How many steps did you take?
Upon hearing this, Meng Hong, who had been relatively calm, became slightly agitated and couldn't help but rush to Chen Mobai's bedside to ask questions, much to the latter's surprise.
Did I overdo it? "I only reached the tenth step; it's a pity I can't touch the Great Dao Tree."
But there's nothing we can do; we've already said it, so we can only keep reinforcing it and pretending it's true.
Inside the room, everyone gasped.
Even Grandmaster Zeng, who had entered with a cold face, showed a look of shock when he heard that Chen Mobai had taken ten steps in front of the Great Dao Tree.
Before the Five Elements Sect split up, he had also entered the Divine Tree Secret Realm, but he only took six steps in front of the Great Dao Tree.
It was because he had experienced it that he knew how difficult it was to take ten steps.
This is not a simple one plus one, but a huge difference of several times, or even more than ten times.
This person truly deserves to be called a peerless sword genius! Only someone with such an iron Sword Heart could withstand such a monstrous attack of Spiritual Sense.
This little guy might have even more terrifying talent than Hong He.
Looking at the shocked gazes of Meng Hong and Grandmaster Zeng, Chen Mobai felt that he might have overdone it.
But at this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep up the act.
"Senior Brother Chen, you're amazing!"
Yan Jinye looked at the handsome young man lying on the hospital bed with a look of admiration. His face was slightly pale.
She felt that even if the person in front of her was seriously injured and could only lift one finger, he could easily kill a mediocre person like her.
Because she had just gone through the test of the Great Dao Tree, the terrifying pressure that was like dark clouds covering the sky, omnipresent yet inescapable, was still vivid in her mind.
Compared to Meng Hong and Zeng Woyou, whom she could only recall, she now understood the hardship and pain much better.
"You are the first True Disciple our sect to take ten steps toward the Great Dao Tree after we split from the Five Elements Sect. Could you tell me the specifics?"
Meng Hong asked Chen Mobai with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai felt a wave of dizziness.
How come he was the first one?
Is the Hong He really that useless?
Can't even take ten steps?
Originally, he heard that even figures like E Yun Zhou Wangshen were reluctant to talk about Hong He, and Meng Hong said that he and Hong He had been unconscious for about the same amount of time, so he thought that this person had also taken ten steps. He thought to himself that he was indeed worthy of being one of the two peerless talents of the Peerless Duo of Divine Wood Sect.
Little did they know that they had been tricked.
If I hadn't gotten that reward in front of the Great Dao Tree, my public image might have collapsed today.
"This should have been an incredible opportunity for me, and I didn't want to leave any trace of it even within the sect."
After Chen Mobai speaking, Meng Hong understood what he meant.
"Don't worry, what you gained in front of the Great Dao Tree will only be passed down by word of mouth within the Transmission Department, and will not be written down and enter the Scripture Pavilion."
"Moreover, regardless of whether this opportunity is useful to my Divine Wood Sect, as the Sect Leader, I will privately compensate you with a Second Tier Magic Tool."
"Junior Zeng is Direct Disciple of Old Ancestor Zhou. We will report this matter to him when Old Ancestor Zhou comes out of seclusion."
After saying these three sentences, Chen Mobai knew that even if he was determined not to talk about what he had gained in front of the Great Dao Tree, it probably wouldn't work.
Even Old Ancestor Zhou has been brought out.
Since that's the case, Chen Mobai began to use his imagination, combining characters from his favorite TV dramas, and directly made up a story on the spot that was half true and half false, yet it made Meng Hong and the other two feel horrified.
"I took the tenth step, but I know that even with my talent, I can only stop here and cannot overstep my bounds."
"However, we Sword Cultivator would rather break than bend. Even though I knew that taking the eleventh step might kill me, I was still fearless. When I took the next step, I unleashed my most brilliant and sublime sword strike towards the Great Dao Tree."
"After that sword strike, I felt as if I had been shattered and fell into a long slumber. I don't know how much time passed, but I woke up in darkness and saw an incomparably majestic figure."
"This man had his back to the world, his hair was as black as ink, and he held a Rotten Wooden Sword in his right hand."
He said one sentence and then made a sword strike.
"With this sword strike, the void shattered, and I fell into a deep slumber. In the end, all I heard was a sigh."
"Then I woke up, opened my eyes and saw Junior Sister Yan."
After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Meng Hong and the other two stared wide-eyed.
With their limited perspective and knowledge, they simply could not imagine the magnificent existence described by Chen Mobai.
Did this venerable one leave behind Dao Name?
Meng Hong asked very cautiously.
"Of course there is. Before this being unleashed that sword strike, he said: 'I, the Azure Emperor, here unleash the Longevity Sword. Anyone who comprehends this sword can be called my disciple.'"
Upon hearing this, Meng Hong and Zeng Woyou exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming even more solemn.
The Divine Tree Secret Realm is a secret realm left behind by the ancient sect, the Longevity Sect. Legend has it that the Longevity Sect has an ancient lineage, and its origins can even be traced back to the time when the Jellyfish created the Five Continents and Four Seas. Now it seems that it should be the lineage of this Azure Emperor.
Is there anything else?
Seeing the hopeful looks in Meng Hong's and the other two's eyes, Chen Mobai could only shake his head.
This story has already progressed to the creation of the world; if it continues, it will lead to the Chaos chaos, where the Earth Wind Fire Water will be re-forged.
"It's a pity you didn't comprehend the Longevity Sword. Otherwise, you would probably have gained the true recognition of the Divine Tree Secret Realm, be able to enter and exit freely, and control all the resources of this secret realm."
Meng Hong sighed, and Chen Mobai's heart stirred upon hearing this.
He recalled the pop-up window from Turtle Treasure before he fell into a coma, and wondered if it had ultimately been successfully anchored.
"The spiritual energy in the Divine Tree Secret Realm is also average. There are only some spiritual trees, at most the Great Dao Tree, Magic Treasure Tree, and Talent Tree, which are useful to newly Foundation Establishment. The resources inside are probably not as good as those in Giant Wood Ridge."
Chen Mobai tentatively said something.
"Only the environment of the Divine Tree Secret Realm can cultivate the Longevity Wood."
Meng Hong only said this one sentence, then looked intently at Chen Mobai.
"Hong He took nine steps and became True Disciple of the Longevity Sect, gaining some benefits. Apart from witnessing the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, did you gain nothing else?"
It's here!
Chen Mobai knew that someone as seasoned as Meng Hong would not believe something unconditionally unless he saw something substantial.
However, it's good to have doubts, otherwise how can I formally reveal the swordsmanship realm I just attained?
"Although I did not comprehend the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, I have still achieved some 'small' accomplishments in the way of the sword. By drawing inferences from similar cases, my sword realm has reached a new level. I would say it was a blessing in disguise."
As he spoke, Chen Mobai gently extended his right index finger.
Then, a wisp of purple flame ignited at his fingertips, and in an instant, all the free spiritual energy in the entire room was drawn away by his fingertips.
After the pure spiritual energy condensed, it resembled a rain of rainbow swords, containing incomparably vast power.
It should have spread out in all directions, but it was firmly bound at Chen Mobai's fingertips, turning into a crystal-clear Purple Jade Sword Light that resembled flowing Magma.
Seeing this, Meng Hong's expression turned solemn, and he took out a Second Grade Spirit Leaf Talisman.
However, this Defensive Talisman, which could easily withstand the Sword Qi Like a Rainbow, couldn't even last a breath before the Purple Jade Sword Light. It was cleaved in two, burning and turning into ashes that scattered on the ground.
"Sword Rainbow Light Splitting!"
Seeing this, Meng Hong and the other two gasped again.
