Swords Drawn

The spaceship was extremely fast.

In just two days, they traversed tens of thousands of miles.

We arrived above a large lake.

When the spaceship arrived, there were already three spaceships hovering above the lake.

Judging from the flags hanging on the spaceships, it's not hard to tell that these spaceships belong to the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, the Blissful Union Sect, and the Primordial Unity Temple.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Beast Taming Sect's spaceship, a person stepped out of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect's spaceship.

Her red clothes, like fire, fluttered in the wind.

It was Yan Yuyan.

"Tu Lian, I never expected that we would meet again here. What a small world!"

Tu Lian's aged face appeared extremely sinister.

"Yan Yuyan, it's you again. Last time, we couldn't decide a winner. Today, let's fight again and settle the score."

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

A glint of sword light seemed to flash in Yan Yuyan's eyes.

"Esteemed benefactors, please do not be angry. We are all from righteous sects; it would be best not to resort to violence."

A monk stepped out of the spaceship from Primordial Unity Temple.

The monk had a peaceful expression and a compassionate face.

Tu Lian's expression was icy, his gaze sweeping over the monk, a strange smile curling at the corner of his lips.

"Hui Ming, you old bald monk, this is a matter between our Beast Taming Sect and the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect. We don't need your Primordial Unity Temple interfering."

"Primordial Unity Temple is already in dire straits, yet you still have the audacity to travel hundreds of thousands of miles to meddle in the Azure Tide Secret Realm."

Two Nascent Soul Cultivator from Primordial Unity Temple were severely injured in the Righteous-Demonic War, and their injuries have not yet fully healed, which has drastically weakened Primordial Unity Temple's strength.

In addition, Primordial Unity Temple borders the Nine Palaces Sect.

The area under the jurisdiction of Primordial Unity Temple is frequently harassed by the Nine Palaces Sect and some unorthodox Rogue Cultivator.

The numerous spiritual fields and mines under the jurisdiction of Primordial Unity Temple were frequently plundered.

Tu Lian said, "Primordial Unity Temple is in dire straits," he was referring to these very things.

Hui Ming remained calm in the face of Tu Lian's mockery.

"Benefactor Tu, this humble monk is offering kind advice, why must you utter such harsh words?"

Tu Lian sneered.

"Good advice? You bald monks are the most hypocritical. You say one thing to my face and another behind my back. I dare not believe your 'good advice'."

Seeing Tu Lian and Hui Ming start arguing, Yan Yuyan simply withdrew her imposing manner and stood quietly to the side, leisurely watching the show.

At that moment, another spaceship appeared in the distance, speeding towards the lake.

A large black flag hangs above the spaceship, with a silver word 'thunder' engraved on the flag.

When Yan Yuyan saw the Lei Clan's spaceship appear, her body tensed slightly, and her expression became serious.

Before the Lei Clan's spaceship arrived, a figure with a full head of white hair shot out from the ship and stopped not far from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect's spaceship.

"Yan Yuyan, I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."

The newcomer was none other than Lei Jun, the head of the Lei Clan.

She once joined forces with Yan Yuyan to besiege Wu Ren outside the Corpse Demon Sect.

When Lei Jun saw Yan Yuyan, the killing intent in his eyes was undisguised.

At some point, a deep grudge developed between the two.

Yan Yuyan looked at Lei Jun with a half-smile on her face.

"Patriarch Lei Clan, your Lei Clan's only Nascent Soul Cultivator is still recovering from his injuries. Do you still intend to provoke my Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect?"

Lei Jun retorted angrily, "This is a personal feud between you and me, and has nothing to do with the Lei Clan or the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect."

"Personal grudges! Do you think I'd be afraid of you?" Yan Yuyan said.

Tu Lian and Hui Ming argued incessantly.

Lei Jun and Yan Yuyan were like oil and water, irreconcilable enemies.

There was also an old grudge between Tu Lian and Yan Yuyan.

Even before this journey to explore the secret realm has begun, the Golden Core experts from various sects who are in charge of the expedition are already on the verge of war.

This caused the Foundation Establishment cultivators from various factions who came to explore the secret realm to feel an invisible pressure.

At this moment, a graceful figure stepped out of the Blissful Union Sect's spaceship.

"Gentlemen, the Azure Tide Secret Realm is about to open. Do you four intend to fight among yourselves before allowing Foundation Establishment cultivators from various sects to enter and explore the secret realm?"

The woman was dressed in a palace gown with a low-cut bodice, revealing her ample breasts.

Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her eyes brimming with affection.

Hui Ming turned his head and looked at the graceful woman, his gaze fixed straight ahead.

"What Fairy Shu Qing said makes sense."

Tu Lian looked at Shu Qing's voluptuous figure, then at her own withered body that resembled an old corpse, and the jealousy in her eyes was almost impossible to conceal.

She said coldly, "Hui Ming, you bald monk, you're not only hypocritical, but you've also broken the precept against lust."

"Food and sex are human nature, and sex is the foundation of Human Race reproduction and survival. Our Buddhism also has the Blissful Buddha Method,' which perfectly matches the dual cultivation method of the Blissful Union Sect. How can there be any talk of 'breaking the precept against sex'?"

Hui Ming did not try to deny it; he frankly admitted that he had been lustful.

Shu Qing covered her mouth and smiled, her smile as delicate and charming as a hundred flowers in bloom.

"Oh? Master actually understands the Blissful Buddha Method! After this matter is settled, shall we exchange our Heart-Refining Mountains?"

Hui Ming, with a compassionate expression, placed one hand in front of his chest, forming a mudra.

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for your kind offer, benefactor."

Tu Lian curled her lip, her face full of disgust.

"Hmph! Shameless!"

After saying that, she turned and flew towards the Beast Taming Sect's airship, ignoring Hui Ming and Shu Qing.

On the other side, Yan Yuyan and Lei Jun remained locked in a fierce confrontation, with no sign of easing due to Shu Qing's appearance.

"Gentlemen, do you really want to have a fight before the secret realm opens?"

Yan Yuyan said, "I didn't have that idea, but Lei Clan is so arrogant that I have no choice but to accept the challenge."

Lei Jun said, "Yan Yuyan, after our journey to the secret realm, I will certainly not let you off easily. You will not have a chance to escape this time."

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Yan Yuyan for a couple of seconds, then turned and returned to his own spaceship.

Shu Qing to Yan Yuyan's side and asked telepathically.

"Sister Yuyan, when did you offend that old geezer from the Lei Clan? He looks like he wants to tear you apart."

Yan Yuyan transmitted her voice, "It was just two years ago when I borrowed a Cultivation Method from him."

"What Cultivation Method did you steal from the Lei Clan?" Shu Qing asked.

"The Lei Clan's secret Thunder Method technique only includes the first four divine thunderbolts," Yan Yuyan said.

Shu Qing gave a thumbs up, "You dare to steal the Lei Clan's Nine Divine Thunder Secret Art! Aren't you afraid that old Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Lei Clan will recover from his injuries and come looking for trouble?"

"We'll have to wait until he's fully recovered. At worst, I'll just stay hidden within the sect and not come out. I don't believe the Lei Clan would dare to forcefully demand his return from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect."

"Why are you trying to steal the Divine Thunder Technique? I remember your talent for Thunder Method is quite average."

A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Yan Yuyan's eyes, and a strong sense of confidence surged from her.

"A sword formation, a sword formation that can control Thunder Method."

Upon hearing this, Shu Qing couldn't help but glance sideways.

Integrating Thunder Method into the sword formation?

I've never heard of such a peculiar sword formation before.

In the cultivation world, there are also sword formations that contain Thunder Method, but those are based on the fact that the flying swords used to set up the sword formation themselves contain lightning.

Instead, the cultivators who set up the sword formation incorporated Thunder Method into it.

The difference between the two is still quite significant.
