Sword Technique: Dao Slash; New Saint Law: Heavenly Ruins Tribulation Finger

After returning to his Lineage, Qin Wangchuan went straight to the Longevity Heaven.

This is the Qin Clan's independent Small World, and the Old Ancestor is located above the Tenth Heaven.

Qin Taiyi sat alone under a small tree, and slowly opened his eyes after sensing the person who had arrived.

"I heard you did something big in the Lower Realm..."

The words abruptly stopped.

He slowly raised his head, his cloudy eyes gradually narrowing.

The approaching youth's eyes blazed with Golden Flames, his pupils reflecting a shattered galaxy and a crumbling Immortal Court —a resolute determination that transcended Myriad Ages.

"Very good eyesight." The Old Ancestor suddenly chuckled, then stood up, conjuring two chairs with a wave of his hand. He sat down and reminisced, "It reminds me of your Eldest Brother when he came to me covered in blood—"

"Just like you are now."

"He said he wanted to kill someone." The Old Ancestor's eyes blazed. "So, you're the same way?"

Qin Wangchuan looked directly into the Old Ancestor's eyes without flinching. "Yes."

"I beg the Old Ancestor to grant me a method to sever the future in the present."

"To cut the future now... Hmm... I see..." Qin Taiyi wasn't too surprised. His eyelids drooped slightly, and his withered fingers tapped lightly in the air, as if he were deducing something.

He looked up after a moment.

"I possess a sword that can sever all cause and effect."

There aren't any fancy words, just four characters.

It can cut down everything.

"But with your current level of cultivation and physical body..." Qin Taiyi shook his head as he spoke, "Don't even mention controlling it, you don't even have the qualifications to unleash one-millionth of its power."

Withered fingers tapped lightly on the armrest. "However, that doesn't mean there's no hope."

"Your comprehension Tongtian; after I demonstrate it a few times, you can figure it out on your own."

"Transform my supreme sword into a sword that you can use."

Qin Taiyi slowly rose from the chair, his sleeves fluttering even without wind.

He stretched out his withered right hand and gently clenched it in the air—

A wisp of light emanated from his palm, initially as soft as moonlight, then growing stronger and stronger, eventually condensing into a jet-black sword.

"Clang!"

The sword has no shape, yet it devours all the light around it, as if even spacetime itself is collapsing towards the blade.

He casually waved his hand towards the distance.

A ten-thousand-foot-long Sword Qi, purely formed from darkness, tore through the sky, splitting this world in two.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the space collapsed layer by layer, revealing endless void turbulence beneath.

Countless Star Fragment burst forth from the crack, only to turn to dust the instant they touched the Sword Qi.

But that's not all!

"Watch closely." The Old Ancestor flipped his wrist, and the ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi suddenly condensed into a Giant Sword that stretched across the heavens and earth.

The sword was crackling with countless bolts of Nirvana Divine Thunder; in the direction its tip pointed, time began to flow backward.

Fallen leaves fly back to the branches, scattered Cloud Sea gather again, and even light and shadow flow in reverse.

But the Giant Sword remained unaffected and crashed down with a deafening roar.

There was no sound, no vibration, but wherever the sword passed, everything was reduced to oblivion—not destruction, but a complete erasure that had never existed.

It didn't even leave a trace; it vanished into nothingness.

Qin Wangchuan's Heavenly Derivation Divine Pupil operated wildly, and Golden Dao Patterns intertwined into a net within his eyes.

He saw that this sword strike was not severing the present, but rather going against the River of Time, completely stripping the concept of "existence" from its very roots.

Even the light rays were broken into fragmented spots in front of the sword's edge.

"It's your turn." The Old Ancestor's voice pulled him back to reality.

Qin Wangchuan closed his eyes and concentrated.

When I opened my eyes again, my hands were loosely clenched.

A wisp of light emerged from his palm, then grew stronger and stronger, eventually condensing into a jet-black sword.

It is the same as the seven-tenths image held by the Old Ancestor.

The light was far less pure than that of the Old Ancestor, but it carried a unique Celestial Phenomenon Lightning that belonged to him.

The Supreme Dao Heart within his body pounded to its limit, and boundless Spiritual Power flowed throughout his body, finally converging at the palm of his hand.

A sword was swung out.

A pure black, ten-thousand-foot-long Sword Qi tore through the heavens and earth, but quickly recovered under the Heaven and Earth Law.

Qin Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back, watching the gradually dissipating black Sword Qi, and shook his head slightly:

Although it was already quite good, it was still too clumsy in his eyes.

"This sword strike contains the Power of Principle; you will ultimately find it difficult to unleash before you have attained enlightenment."

It was meant to be a comforting remark, but to Qin Wangchuan it was like a sudden awakening.

"Principle...?" he murmured, as the Void Divine Feather behind him suddenly burst forth with dazzling divine Divine Light.

Qin Wangchuan assumed a fighting stance once more, his Supreme Dao Heart resounding loudly.

"I have indeed not comprehended the Principle, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with astonishing light, "It's on the Void Divine Feather!"

The Void Divine Feather possesses complete Space Law.

Space and time are not divergent paths, but interconnected.

"As long as you achieve the state of Unity of Man, Sword, and Feather, you can succeed!"

Unity of Man, Sword, and Feather?

Qin Taiyi muttered these words as he looked at Qin Wangchuan, feeling that this kid seemed to have easily uttered something extraordinary.

However, the next moment...

Qin Wangchuan's eyes suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, Void Divine Feather were fully unfurled, each feather flowing with Time-Space Dao Patterns.

He made a grasping motion with both hands, and the dark sword shadow gradually merged with the Divine Feather's radiance.

Sword and feathers merge, and man wields sword and feathers!

The moment the three elements perfectly merged, an unprecedented Sword Light burst forth.

This sword strike was no longer simply a black Sword Qi.

Within the Sword Light, the purple light of the Void Divine Feather and the golden light of the Heavenly Derivation Divine Pupil intertwined perfectly, forming a Hundred-Zhang Sword Qi Tricolor Intertwined.

As the Sword Qi spread, it eventually condensed into a Giant Sword that stretched across the heavens and the earth.

The Giant Sword finally struck down on a distant Immortal Mountain.

There was no earth-shattering explosion; the entire mountain range seemed to have been washed away by the River of Time for millions of years, instantly weathering and disintegrating into a sky full of dust.

Even more terrifying is that the sand and dust reassembled in mid-air into the original shape of the mountains, only to weather away again... This cycle repeats endlessly, as if trapped in Eternal Time Reincarnation.

"Brilliant!" Qin Taiyi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his withered fingers unconsciously twirled his beard. "Although he borrowed external aids, his swordsmanship is still slightly clumsy..."

He suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the Tenth Heaven: "To be able to grasp Two Points of True Meaning in the first test is already an astonishing talent!"

Qin Wangchuan stared blankly at his trembling hand, his knuckles white from excessive force, and the lingering Time-Space Dao Patterns still visible on his palm.

He whispered incredulously, "It's done!"

This was originally just a fleeting thought of his, even carrying a hint of desperate gamble.

But now, it's done!

Just as he was overjoyed, Qin Wangchuan suddenly groaned, and a trickle of Golden Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The purple light on the Void Divine Feather visibly dimmed, clearly indicating that the previous sword strike had consumed a great deal of energy.

Qin Taiyi had anticipated this scene. He touched Qin Wangchuan's brow with his fingertip, transferring a wisp of Pure Vital Energy. "This sword can sever the past and future. It involves cause and effect, and the backlash is extremely severe. This is already happening even before it has actually struck anyone."

"It's best not to use this unless it's an emergency."

He paused, then continued, "Although it was done by me, it was indeed a method you comprehended. Have you thought of a name for it?"

Qin Wangchuan stared at the Sword Intent that had not yet dissipated in his palm, the golden light in his eyes flickering uncertainly.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head and spoke solemnly:

"Dao Slash."

The moment those two words were uttered, the weather within the Longevity Heaven changed dramatically.

Qin Taiyi nodded in satisfaction without saying anything more.

But Qin Wangchuan looked over at that moment and asked that question:

"Old Ancestor, is there a way in this world to go back to the past and have a dialogue with oneself?"

Qin Taiyi glanced at him upon hearing this, and then gave an affirmative answer:

"Have."

With a flick of his sleeve, Qin Taiyi unleashed an invisible Dao Rhyme that pressed Qin Wangchuan down onto Jade Chair that had appeared out of nowhere.

He himself sat down leisurely, lightly tapping the back of the chair with his fingertips.

"Though it exists, the Wangchuan..." The Old Ancestor's voice carried a deeper meaning, "Why are you suddenly asking this? Could it be...?"

Qin Wangchuan remained silent, but Qin Taiyi already understood.

The World-Shaking Chess Game in Middle Thousand Provinces shook the heavens; how could the Heavenly Emperor not know of it?

"For the Heavenly Emperor, traversing the River of Time is not difficult," the Old Ancestor said, his tone turning serious. "The key is to see when you want to return to a particular time."

"What if it were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

Qin Taiyi chuckled upon hearing this, waving his hands repeatedly. "Nonsense! Tens of thousands of years would require an unimaginable price, hundreds of thousands of years? The causal relationship involved is beyond comprehension; even the Heavenly Emperor couldn't do it!"

'But he did it.'

Qin Wangchuan thought to himself, marveling at how terrifying his future self was.

Then another question was asked.

"Even the Immortal Court... will it one day be destroyed?"

Qin Taiyi gave him a deep look upon hearing this before replying, "Everything has a beginning and an end. Even the Supreme Immortal Court will eventually fall."

"All of this is Great World Tribulation."

But that doesn't make sense.

"The Immortal Court may perish, but I will not. As long as I exist, the Qin Clan will remain."

After saying that, he looked at me with piercing eyes, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Now I understand.

The Old Ancestor didn't value the Ten Directions Immortal Court and the Qin Clan highly, because he himself was the true member of the Qin Clan.

This would explain why my future self said those things.

Even if we told the Old Ancestor, not only would we not get direct help, but it might also make things worse.

Qin Wangchuan wanted to ask something more, but the Old Ancestor waved his hand.

"Knowing too much only adds to the trouble. Even if Great Calamity befalls us, our elders will be there to protect us."

"Focusing on your cultivation is what you should be doing right now."

That's all.

Qin Taiyi's figure gradually disappeared into the clouds of the Tenth Heaven, leaving only the words, "You can practice here for now," echoing in the air.

Qin Wangchuan took a deep breath and gripped the sword again.

"It can only be me, only I can do it."

"Xu Tianluo... He must be killed!"

He repeated the trajectory of that sword strike over and over again.

At first, the Sword Light seemed clumsy, and the fusion of the Void Divine Feather and the Sword Intent was sometimes sluggish.

But with continued practice, the Three-colored Sword Qi became more and more solid, and the Space-time Ripple it created became clearer and clearer.

However, Qin Wangchuan, immersed in honing his Sword Intent, was completely unaware that his Immortal Bone had undergone a change at some point.

"Call..."

Qin Wangchuan stood still, gathering his strength, but at a certain moment, a sudden change occurred.

The Spiritual Power, which should have subsided, became abnormally agitated.

The Immortal Bone within his body also roared uncontrollably, Root Bone radiating a dazzling golden light that intertwined behind him to form a blazing crown of light.

The crown was filled with countless Dao Patterns that flowed and resonated with the Void Divine Feather, causing the entire Longevity Heaven to tremble violently.

Qin Wangchuan was slightly stunned by this scene:

"This is... a phenomenon Immortal Bone Awakening?"

Ever since the last time Heavenly Martial Emperor Tianwu's Immortal Bone Awakening, he had imagined there would be a second time.

But I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

There was no time to think.

All the Immortal Bone Golden Light converged on the index finger of his right hand, making that finger bone as clear as glass, and the Space-time Turbulence wrapped around it emitted a tearing sound that made one's teeth ache.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Countless Star Fragment poured down from the void rift, forming a huge vortex above his head.

At the heart of the vortex, Golden Finger Shadow, stretching across the heavens and earth, slowly emerged.

The finger shadows were engraved with Ancient Dao Patterns, each Dao Patterns reflecting the World Birth and Death, and the bending and stretching of the fingers triggered the collapse and reconstruction of countless time and space.

There was no need for instruction; the usage of this move naturally came to Qin Wangchuan's mind.

He gently pointed a finger at an Immortal Mountain a hundred miles away.

Where the Finger Wind passes, the towering mountain peaks do not collapse but instead directly shrink into a singularity, which then explodes into billions of Space-time Fragments.

The Cloud Sea affected by the Finger Force instantly gathered and dispersed ten thousand times, Peach Forest turned to ashes in the cycle of Withering and Flourishing and flourishing, only to return to new buds.

Qin Wangchuan stared at his fingertips and softly uttered the name of the move:

"Extreme Dao Sacred Technique - Heavenly Ruins Tribulation Finger"

Qin Wangchuan gazed at the lingering Glazed Dao Patterns on his fingertips, feeling the gradually dissipating Immortal Bone Power within his body, and couldn't help but sigh softly:

"The Slaughtering Dao Heavenly Scar and the Heavenly Ruins Tribulation Finger... Now that I possess two Saint Law, I have a greater chance of success."

He continued his cultivation in the Longevity Heaven for several days, gradually mastering the two Saint Law.

While they were rehearsing the combined sword and finger strike technique that day, Ye Jianwei came to report, saying—

Li Qingluan has arrived.

Qin Wangchuan naturally knew why she had come and invited him to the Immortal Path.

But there was one thing he hadn't expected.

Inside the Wangchuan Pavilion.

Li Qingluan gently raised her jade-like hand, and three spiritual objects gracefully appeared from her sleeve, hovering above the table, radiating a shimmering, precious light.

She first pointed to the first treasure—a pearl the size of a dragon ball, inside which was sealed a swimming golden dragon phantom, its Dragon Breath emanating a chilling pressure.

"This is the Primordial Dragon Yuan I obtained from the Dragon Fall Abyss. Consuming it can refine your Immortal Bone Dragon Scale, greatly benefiting your physique and armor."

Then her delicate fingers moved to the second item, a Jade Slip with flowing Time-Space Dao Patterns.

"This is the <Book of Illusory Worlds>, which I obtained by chance in a Secret Realm of time and space. After studying it, one can weave illusory worlds of reality and illusion. It is said to be quite suitable for your Void Divine Feather, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Finally, Li Qingluan gently lifted the third treasure—a crystal-clear nine-leaf lingzhi mushroom.

The leaves are covered with fine frost patterns, each Dao Patterns shimmering with starlight, clearly indicating their extraordinary nature.

"This is the Moonlight Star Soul Ganoderma." Her tone was tinged with reverence. "It is the culmination of a thousand years of moonlight and the nourishment of ten thousand years of stars. Consuming it will soothe and nourish the body and mind."

After Li Qingluan finished speaking, she looked at Qin Wangchuan. Although her eyes were as calm as usual, he inexplicably saw a trace of worry in them.

"I heard you had another enlightenment in the Lower Realm. Sometimes, rapid advancement in cultivation isn't good either. This item is perfect for helping you solidify your foundation."

After Li Qingluan finished her introduction, she gracefully crossed her legs, her skirt rippling like water.

She rested her chin on her hand and gently tapped it with her chin. "Eat."

Her tone was gentle yet authoritative, much like an older sister who could only feel at ease after watching her younger brother personally consume the tonic.

Qin Wangchuan chuckled, but readily agreed.

He first swallowed the Dragon Essence, and the Dragon Scale that had been lying dormant on his robes seemed to have been nourished and began to move.

He then handed the Ganoderma lucidum to Ye Jianwei, instructing her to take it to the elders. Only by refining it into a pill with the assistance of various medicinal herbs could the full efficacy of this substance be realized.

The elixir was completed in no time, and he put it into his mouth.

Although the elixir had already been formed, one could still feel a cool and sweet liquid flowing into the throat, as if the meridians throughout the body were being cleansed by moonlight, and the fatigue brought on by days of arduous cultivation instantly dissipated.

The Dao Patterns on the Immortal Bone lit up on their own, reflecting the starlight of the lingzhi mushroom.

"How is it?" Li Qingluan leaned forward slightly, her eyes revealing a barely perceptible concern.

"As expected of a rare treasure." Qin Wangchuan felt the surging yet gentle medicinal power within his body. Although he didn't feel anything, he still said, "My cultivation has indeed become much more stable."

Li Qingluan then revealed a satisfied expression, lightly tapping the table with her fingertips. "Keep this technique safe. Although it's not extremely powerful, it might come in handy sometime."

"As for your Wen Dao Palace, I went to see it too... um..."

After thinking for a long time, Li Qingluan couldn't come up with a single word of praise.

There are too many strange characters in it, making it difficult to evaluate.

After chatting for a while longer, we finally got to the most important thing.

"The Immortal Path opened a year ago, and all sides are vying to enter."

"Although the fortuitous opportunity inside are mediocre, I've heard that the scenery along the Immortal Path is absolutely stunning. I've been waiting for you to go, but we haven't gone yet. Once the Immortal Path reopens in a while, you can come with me to take a look."

It's not a question, but it's not a command either.

As she grew older and stronger, Li Qingluan became more like a domineering and mature woman.

But at the same time, she's like an older sister; if Qin Wangchuan asks for something, she's unlikely to refuse.

In this respect, they both felt the same way.

"Okay." Qin Wangchuan nodded in agreement.

Li Qingluan's eyebrows curved into a smile, clearly showing great satisfaction.

But she didn't notice that when he heard the words "Immortal Path," a cold glint flashed in Qin Wangchuan's eyes.

'Xu Tianluo... wait for me somewhere on the Immortal Path.'
