Three Sects Disciples Ranking: I Am a Jie Immortal—Who Can Stand Against the Sword in My Hand?

Lin Zhu and Xuan Du returned to Kunlun Mountain, only to find a young Daoist approaching them atop Qilin Cliff.

Upon seeing them, the Daoist immediately shouted at them.

His words were filled with arrogance.

It was as if he would resort to violence if they failed to give him a reason.

Lin Zhu and Xuan Du both looked surprised, uncertainty filling their hearts.

Seeing that the newcomer's cultivation was not particularly high, yet that he was in Kunlun Mountain and spoke as though he were its master, Lin Zhu had already guessed who he was.

He was likely Guang Chengzi, the Chan Sect's foremost disciple whom the Jade Purity Saint had brought back upon returning to the mountain.

Xuan Du did not know this and was about to speak, but Lin Zhu got there first. "We cultivators can go anywhere beneath the heavens."

"What, does Kunlun belong to your family? Are we forbidden from coming here?"

The young Daoist sneered. "Fine. Since you cannot give a reason, do not blame this poor Daoist for being discourteous. I will drive you away."

With a flicker, he appeared above the two of them.

With a wave of his hand, two Long Swords appeared in his grasp. He swung them, slashing toward the pair.

Powerful mana surged through the air as a stream of sword qi tore through space, seemingly intent on cutting them both in two.

Seeing him attack, Lin Zhu did not hold back. With a movement of his hand, the Qingping Sword appeared in his grasp.

Then, a gleam flashed from the Qingping Sword as it met the sword qi slashing toward him.

That Daoist was also at the Profound Immortal realm.

However, his comprehension of the Sword Dao was far inferior to Lin Zhu's.

After his battle with the Fierce Beast, Lin Zhu's understanding of the Sword Dao had already reached a lofty level.

A casual strike from him carried immense power.

The two streams of sword qi collided in midair with a deafening boom.

The Daoist's sword qi was instantly shattered and vanished without a trace.

But it was not over yet.

Lin Zhu's sword qi swept onward, forcing the Daoist to retreat dozens of zhang before he barely evaded it.

"So you truly did barge in. No wonder you dared come here. Don't run—take another sword strike from me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Daoist slashed out with his Long Sword again.

A storm of sword blossoms swept toward Lin Zhu.

This time, the Daoist showed no restraint and attacked with all his strength.

Boundless sword qi surged straight toward Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu snorted coldly and slashed out with the Qingping Sword once more, adding another measure of Sword Intent!

That previous strike had only contained ten percent of his Sword Intent.

At once, towering Sword Intent swept forth, stirring up an energy tempest in the air as it charged toward the Daoist.

Rumble!

Their sword qi intertwined in midair once more.

A thunderous explosion erupted in the sky as endless currents of chaotic energy swept wildly in all directions.

The Daoist was far inferior to Lin Zhu in Sword Intent.

Although he was in the Profound Immortal realm, he was still no match for Lin Zhu's twenty percent Sword Intent.

The Daoist's Sword Intent vanished at once, while Lin Zhu's Qingping Sword Intent swept in violently. The Daoist hurriedly retreated, trying to evade Lin Zhu's strike.

However, how could he possibly evade Lin Zhu's Qingping Sword Intent?

A streak of sword light slashed forth and stopped three inches before the Daoist's forehead.

Had it advanced any farther, the Daoist would surely have been slain by Lin Zhu.

The Daoist was utterly shocked. He stared fixedly at Lin Zhu. "I am Guang Chengzi, disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Jade Purity Daoist. If you kill me, my master will never let you go."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu waved his hand and put away the Qingping Sword, smiling. "So you are one of us."

"One of us?" Guang Chengzi was bewildered.

Xuan Du stepped forward. "Junior Brother Guang Chengzi, I am Xuan Du, disciple of Taishang Laojun, the Grand Purity Saint. This is Lin Zhu, disciple of Martial Uncle Tongtian. Are we not family?"

Upon hearing that, Guang Chengzi smacked his forehead. He stepped forward and bowed to the two senior brothers.

"Greetings, Senior Brothers."

Guang Chengzi had always been arrogant.

Lin Zhu had recognized him long ago and had deliberately given him a little hardship.

Lin Zhu had entered the sect first, so in a sense, he was Guang Chengzi's senior brother.

If he could not subdue Guang Chengzi and temper his arrogance, they would likely find it difficult to get along in the future.

Lin Zhu smiled. "Junior Brother Guang Chengzi's attainments in the Sword Dao are quite good. You will surely achieve great things someday."

At those words, Guang Chengzi became embarrassed instead.

"Senior Brother jests. In terms of Sword Dao cultivation, I am far inferior to you." Guang Chengzi knew that Lin Zhu's strength greatly surpassed his own. His initial arrogance had long vanished, replaced by admiration for Lin Zhu.

How could he know that Lin Zhu had deliberately held back?

During this journey, and through his great battle with the Fierce Beast, Lin Zhu's practical combat experience had greatly increased.

Furthermore, Guang Chengzi had only recently entered the Profound Immortal realm, putting him at a much lower level. Combined with Lin Zhu's vast experience, which Guang Chengzi could not compare to, his defeat was only natural.

"Junior Brothers, this is our first meeting. Why not gather here at Qilin Cliff, brew some tea, and debate the Dao? Would that not be delightful?" Lin Zhu said.

Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi were immediately interested.

Lin Zhu then used his mana to brew three cups of the Spirit Tea he had picked during this journey.

The three sat cross-legged atop the rocks, savoring tea and discussing the path of cultivation.

Guang Chengzi had only just entered the Kunlun sect and asked Lin Zhu about many matters. Lin Zhu did not hold anything back and answered every question.

Xuan Du, sitting beside them, also gained much insight.

The three discussed the Dao for over a month. Lin Zhu's insights into cultivation had even earned praise from Tongtian Sect Leader, much less from Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du.

After this Dao Debate, Guang Chengzi admired Lin Zhu immensely and gained much from it.

As for Xuan Du, Lin Zhu had already resolved his doubts during their journey. Yet upon hearing it again, he gained new insights.

"Senior Brother, I have gained greatly from your teachings. I need to enter seclusion for a time to digest your words, so I will take my leave first," Guang Chengzi said.

Lin Zhu and Xuan Du had also gained greatly during their journey.

There were several magic treasures that still needed refinement.

Thus, the three parted ways. Guang Chengzi went to the Yuanshi Tianzun Daoist Temple.

Xuan Du returned to the Taishang Laojun Daoist Temple.

Lin Zhu returned to the Tongtian Cult Master Daoist Temple.

Upon returning to the Daoist Temple, Tongtian Sect Leader was still in seclusion, comprehending the mysteries of the Saint realm.

Seeing that his master was in seclusion, Lin Zhu did not disturb him. He returned to his Cave Mansion, took out the Twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls, and began refining them.

He possessed the Great Evolution Qi Refining Method, so his refining speed was not slow.

However, each of the Twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls contained several Restrictions. Fully refining them was not something that could be done overnight.

It took Lin Zhu a full five hundred years to completely refine all twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls.

Lin Zhu slowly opened his eyes and waved his hand. The Twelve Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls shone brilliantly as they whistled forth, circling continuously around his body.

With another casual wave, the pearls flew according to his divine sense.

Refined treasures truly moved as easily as his own limbs.

Lin Zhu was overjoyed.

Then, with a movement of his hand, the Primordial Measuring Heaven Ruler appeared in his grasp.

As a Houtian Merit Supreme Treasure, the Primordial Measuring Heaven Ruler possessed forty-nine Restrictions, making it even more difficult to refine.

Lin Zhu immediately entered seclusion once again and began refining the Primordial Measuring Heaven Ruler.
