Demon-Subduing Sword Formation
Void Form pushed the Vast Void Horizontal Technique to its limit. He recognized the person behind him— Sword Saint Qin Wuya, a Grandmaster expert. He had no choice but to escape.
His heart had already sunk to the bottom. Although everyone said that the top ten on the Black List had the ability to escape from the hands of Grandmaster, it also depended on what kind of Grandmaster it was.
Sword Saint Qin Wuya has been pursuing the path of Grandmaster for decades and is already at the Peak of the Grandmaster realm. No one in the Grandmaster Realm dares to claim that they can definitely defeat him. Being targeted by him is considered extremely unlucky.
Even Void Form didn't know why he could get Qin Wuya to take action.
When he walked out to the other end of the alley, he had changed his appearance; his beard was gone, and he had become much thinner.
But as he turned a few more streets, he suddenly stopped and began to wail.
He forced a smile, "Senior Qin, why bother with someone as insignificant as me? I, Void Form, believe I haven't done anything that would anger heaven or man. Do you really need to come and arrest me?"
The scholar in Blue Robe stood there calmly. The crowd was dense, yet people around him seemed to naturally leave a large space around him, and no one found it strange.
He said calmly, "I don't want to kill you, but you have something you need to give me."
Void Form and, being quite pragmatic, said, "What is it? If I have it, I will offer it to you without hesitation, senior."
"Seven years ago, you took a Remnant Scripture from the Jiuan Palace."
Xu Wuxing breathed a sigh of Void Form and quickly said, "This Remnant Scripture scripture is no longer in my possession, but I still remember the entire text and can write it down for you immediately."
"I want the original copy."
Void Form was immediately put in a difficult position and was about to speak.
The scholar in Blue Robe calmly replied, "Think it over before you speak."
Upon hearing this, Void Form Wuxing was momentarily dazed, his original words forgotten, and he honestly replied, "I gave this scripture to Young Master Gu of North Spring Mountain."
The scholar in Blue Robe nodded slightly and muttered to himself, "So it was in his hands."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.
Void Form snapped out of his daze and realized what he had said, so he slapped himself across the face.
"Damn it, I have to run again. This place is untouchable. It's my own fault for being so stupid. I couldn't resist coming to see it after hearing about the towering pagoda on North Spring Mountain. I thought nothing would happen since so much time had passed, but I got caught red-handed less than a day after arriving here."
In North Spring Mountain.
As usual, Gu Yuanqing took some time to nurture the North Spring Secret Sword with his True Essence.
Suddenly, the usually Motion and Stillness Secret Sword trembled slightly, revealing Runes within.
He was slightly pleased. After nurturing it for so long, it had finally yielded results. Although his cultivation level was different now and he might not value this Secret Sword as much, he was still reluctant to part with it since he had not yet obtained its secret.
His mind entered the sword, touching the core of the hilt.
In an instant, this core connected with Gu Yuanqing's consciousness, pulling him into a virtual space, where a star map appeared before his eyes.
"It really is the Big Dipper Seven Stars!"
Having memories of his past life, he was inexplicably overjoyed to see this familiar Star Chart.
He cast his gaze upon the stars and immediately saw sword shadows appear, vaguely resembling the Big Dipper Big Dipper Seven Swords of the North Spring Sword Sect.
However, the Swordsmanship here is more fierce, and many of the moves are too mysterious to be performed by a person wielding a sword.
Gu Yuanqing's knowledge and comprehension were extraordinary at this moment, and he grasped its essence in just a moment.
"This isn't some kind of Martial Path Swordsmanship; it's clearly Sword Control Technique! Only Sword Control that transcends the limitations of the human body can be executed like this!"
He immersed himself in it, and after a while, he suddenly realized something.
"This isn't just a simple Sword Control Technique; it's clearly Sword Formation!"
At that moment, all those images intertwined and transformed into a ray of light that entered his consciousness.
After an incense stick had burned, he opened his eyes, shook his head, and smiled.
"It seems I truly have an inextricable connection with the way of the Sword Dao. I had already let go of it, but today I've acquired this formation again. It's quite good, though; it adds another means of defense to my repertoire."
Looking at the North Spring Secret Sword again, he felt that there was a subtle connection between the sword and himself.
"It turns out that this Secret Sword is called the Demon Subduing Sword. North Spring must have only seen the initial sword moves and not the final Sword Formation."
The infusion of True Essence immediately activated the rune array within. As the sword grew larger and heavier, shimmering Sword Qi emanated from its blade, each strand as fine as a needle.
Gu Yuanqing summoned a piece of Green Stone with his mind. With just a light touch, the Green Stone split in two, and the scattered sand fragments were as fine as powder.
He then summoned the fragment of the short sword he had obtained from Zuo Qiu, and with a slash of the sword, the fragment broke in two.
At this moment, the Secret Sword instantly transformed into Divine Weapon.
"This sword is no less powerful than Zuo Qiu's Blood Tiger Yao Blade, and it suits my taste even better!"
Gu Yuanqing manipulated the Jian Fei with his Object Control Art, causing it to fly up and conjure sword beams in the air. He then Empowerment the North Spring Mountain Phantom to it.
While inside the mountain, nothing was apparent, but once it flew out of the area of North Spring Mountain itself, Space Rift appeared around the sword.
Gu Yuanqing let out a soft exclamation, surprised by its power, and at the same time, he discovered that the stability of the space inside North Spring was completely different from that of the Outer Realm.
He then manipulated the Demon Subduing Sword to fly back, and despite the same power Empowerment, no Space Rift appeared within Within North Spring Mountain.
This phenomenon had not been observed before. Firstly, Gu Yuanqing himself did not possess power beyond the limit, and secondly, any power exceeding the limit would be dissipated by him using his Object Control Power once it entered.
And now, even without using his Object Control Power, the result remains the same.
He sheathed the Demon Subduing Sword and held it in his hand. Suddenly, he took a few steps outside of North Spring Mountain. Dao Fire ignited, True Essence was poured in, and the power of North Spring Mountain Empowerment. Sure enough, Space Rift appeared around the Flying Sword.
For the first time, Gu Yuanqing clearly felt the power of his own crushing this space.
"The space in this realm is indeed too fragile!"
Gu Yuanqing sighed softly, then suddenly turned his head to look twenty miles away.
There, Qin Wuya, whom Gu Yuanqing had met several times before, stood atop a large tree, gazing into the distance. As Gu Yuanqing looked towards the Mountain Observation, it seemed as if their eyes met, whether by chance or not.
A short while later, Qin Wuya turned and left.
Gu Yuanqing was somewhat puzzled. He felt that Qin Wuya seemed different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
He swept the Demonic Qi escaping from the Space Rift back into North Spring Mountain, and then returned to his Courtyard.
Qin Wuya's matter was put aside. After his breakthrough in cultivation, he had too many things to do and try, and had no time to spare for anything else.
Qin Wuya walked for another ten miles or so before stopping and looking back.
He frowned and muttered to himself, "Strange, they could sense my presence from twenty miles away. That mountain also seems to exist independently outside this world, as if it were shrouded by Grotto-Heaven trove. His own cultivation is only at the Dao Fire Realm, but his strength has already reached the Divine Platform level."
This body is too weak. Even with my Split Soul here, I can't use any Law Treasure. Even with countless methods, my foundation is too weak; I'm still no match for him. I need to cultivate to the Dao Fire Peak to be confident. But it doesn't matter. Even with the scarcity of Vital Energy in this world, it will only take ten years... um, twenty years, for me to reach the Dao Fire Peak. At that time..."
Thinking of this, he looked towards Guixu Island again, thinking to himself, "With the Lingxu Sect and Gu Yuanqing here in Great Qian, it's not suitable to make any big moves. It seems the only option is to go to Great Zhou."
There will be another chapter around 2 PM, and the next one will probably be around 7 PM. I'll update another chapter before going to bed tonight. My arms and legs are getting old, and my typing speed isn't great, so please forgive me~
