Four Dao Injuries

"Can."

Chen Beiwu glanced at the distant Sword Mountain and smiled calmly.

Judging from the reaction of the Sword Lord Xiaoyao, the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword, the sect's most powerful weapon in the Mysterious Sword Pavilion, is either arrogant or testing him. Compared to the former, Chen Beiwu is more inclined to believe the latter.

The reason was simple: Chen Beiwu didn't believe that his careless entry into the Mysterious Sword Pavilion could escape the detection of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword.

Perhaps at this very moment, the Artifact Spirit the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword is secretly watching him.

"Huh? (How do I find it?)"

Three Dragon Head emerged from the Golden Egg and glanced at Sword Mountain.

Even with a powerful Spirit Transformation Venerable Primordial Spirit, it would be difficult to find the true form of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword among countless Flying Sword.

"Woof."

Iron Egg barked softly, a glint of light flashing deep within his pupils, before shaking his head helplessly.

It was never good at Sword Dao.

In its eyes, the Flying Sword stuck on the Sword Mountain were only different in strength and appearance, and it was impossible to attack them.

"Eek."

Zhiling narrowed her eyes, swayed her fox tail, and activated the Opening and Closing True Form Profound Ability, attempting to perceive the essence of the Sword Mountain Flying Sword with the power of the Void.

As she expected, if a Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact was intentionally hidden, it was simply beyond the ability of a mid-stage Demon Venerable like herself to detect.

So the three little guys, Golden Egg, Iron Egg, and Zhiling, all looked at Xuele.

"Yeah!" (I knew it!)

Xuele bit her lip, quickly closed her eyes, and activated the Taiyi Bloodline True Form to sense it.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Sensing the throbbing of the Bloodline True Form, Xuele followed his instincts and took steps toward Sword Mountain.

Chen Beiwu remained calm and handed the choice to Xuele.

"The aura emanating from this sword vine is rather strange!!"

The Sword Lord Xiaoyao stirred his Divine Sense, his eyelids twitched slightly, and in a daze, he seemed to see a bit of the same power as the Sect artifact on Xuele.

"Inside?" (Is it this one, or this one?)

Xuele's eyes darted around, and he selected a heavy greatsword from the mountainside of Sword Mountain. Then, he picked out a uniquely shaped ancient sword from his right side and weighed it in his hands, as if to check its feel.

"Won't Alliance Leader Chen give it a try?" Sword Lord Xiaoyao took the initiative to speak.

As a Nascent Soul Elder of the Mysterious Sword Pavilion, he had also undergone trials with the Sect artifacts.

However, his cultivation level was low, and his Sword Dao aptitude was shallow. It took him a full thousand years of sensing at Sword Mound Mountain to barely perceive the true form of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword. Alliance Leader Chen's cultivation level was far above his, and he also had the Sword Intent from the Mountain Gate's plaque to enhance his abilities. Therefore, the requirements for testing Sect artifacts were naturally much higher. "No need, let Xuele try it first."

Chen Beiwu.

With the blessing of the Nine Fortunes Crown Status, the Fortune Divine Ability he cultivated became even more extraordinary.

Even if the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword was intentionally concealed, Chen Beiwu could easily see its immense Fortune through the Nine-Breath Qi Ingestion Technique.

The reason he hadn't taken action to find the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword on Sword Mountain was simply to see how compatible Xuele was with the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword.

If their compatibility is sufficient to Contract, Xuele might be able to take the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword as his master, use the Great Dao carried by the Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact, and forge his own path as Hunyuan Great Demon.

After a moment's hesitation, Xuele put down the greatsword in his hand and raised the ancient sword in his hand towards the direction of Sword Lord Xiaoyao.

"Huh? Is this the one?"

"No, Alliance Leader Chen still has two more chances to try and fail," the Sword Lord Xiaoyao reminded him.

Having served alongside the Sect artifacts for many years, he knew just how much the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword valued Chen Zi'ang.

However, the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword is extremely stubborn and values rules very much.

If Chen Zi'ang fails the test of the Dao artifact, even if he values Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword highly, the latter will not make an exception to show up and meet him.

"Crack!"

Xuele instinctively squeezed hard, only to find the ancient sword in his hand shatter instantly, completely devoid of the mysterious and profound Taiyi Dao Rhythm it had previously possessed.

"Hey!" (Damn it, I've been fooled!)

Xuele's eyes widened, feeling that the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword was deliberately misleading it into making the wrong choice.

"How could a Spirit Monster plant spirit become the Master of the Taiyi Sword?"

The slightly disdainful voice of the Sect's artifact slowly echoed in the mind of the Sword Lord Xiaoyao.

"Hey!"

Xuele's gaze instinctively drifted towards Chen Beiwu.

This is a rare opportunity; there are only three chances.

It has already missed one opportunity and doesn't want to take the risk again.

"It's alright, just give me one chance."

As Chen Beiwu's calm voice rang out, Xuele felt reassured.

It raised its head and looked at the ancient sword stuck diagonally atop Sword Mountain, and the Bloodline True Form began to stir restlessly within its body.

"Hey!" (Here we go again!)

This time, Xuele did not make a hasty decision. Instead, he gripped the Rusty Sword hilt with both hands and pulled it straight up.

"Clang!"

With a flash of sword light, Xuele easily drew the Rusty Sword, and even sensed a trace of unparalleled sharpness hidden beneath the Rusty Sword's blade through his Taiyi True Form. Within that sharpness, there was probably the power to slay immortals and demons.

"Huh?" (This time it shouldn't be wrong, right?)

Xuele turned his head to look at Chen Beiwu, his eyes filled with inquiry.

"Let me do it."

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, then stepped onto the summit of Sword Mountain under the watchful gaze of the Sword Lord Xiaoyao.

"Splash!"

By observing the flow of Fortune, Chen Beiwu's gaze locked onto a piece of scrap metal.

Its appearance was unremarkable, merely polished to a shine, giving it a somewhat textured look, but it didn't resemble a sword at all; it was more like an iron rod. The handle was wrapped in an unknown wood, while the shaft was pitted and covered in rust, looking even more wretched than the Rusty Sword in Xuele's hand.

"Huh? (Could it be this one?)"

Xuele blinked.

It trusted Chen Beiwu's judgment more than its own.

"Is Alliance Leader Chen sure he wants to choose this sword?" True Lord Xiaoyao asked at the opportune moment.

Chen Beiwu nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the end of the sword hilt.

"Buzz!"

As if aware of Chen Beiwu's gaze, Taiyi's Sin-Slaying Sword was no longer hidden. The rusty sword that originally resembled an iron rod trembled violently, sending out mysterious lines one after another, vaguely outlining the word "Nie".

Then a sudden change occurred.

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted as he saw the tip of the Rusty Sword in his hand suddenly extend, piercing directly towards his Dantian. Immediately, a special force drew his Primordial Spirit. Then, the world changed, and the Sword Mountain in front of Chen Beiwu disappeared, replaced by a vast and boundless world.

"Is this an illusion, or is it inside the Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact?"

Chen Beiwu's heart stirred, and he looked around.

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet transformed into a patch of black soil.

The earth trembled, and endless black soil rose from the ground, forming four isolated Lone Peak that rose in succession, blocking Chen Beiwu from all sides.

"Not bad. To be able to find my This Seat form from the Sword Mound, in terms of Sword Dao aptitude alone, you can rank among the top three cultivators in the history of the Taiyi Dao Sect." As the aged voice rang out, black light suddenly surged in the space in front of Chen Beiwu, gradually outlining a figure.

He was ten feet tall, with Jet Black hair, and his sword-like eyes held a terrifying Sword Intent that made people instinctively want to avoid his gaze.

"Junior Chen Zi'ang greets senior. May I ask how you should address me?" Chen Beiwu bowed slightly.

Each Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact Spirit possesses a distinct nature.

If he could obtain the support of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword, his strategy of subduing the four sects, suppressing the Heavenly One Northern Nether Sect, unifying the Five Lineages of the Earth Evolution Realm, and restoring the glory of the Taiyi Dao Sect would take its most solid step.

"Taiyi."

The spirit of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword succinctly stated.

"Greetings Taiyi." Chen Beiwu stated his purpose directly, indicating that chaos was imminent in the Southern Wild Region and that he wanted the Five Sects to unite and bring the Mysterious Sword Pavilion back to the Taiyi lineage.

"Yes, as you wish."

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

"It's just a Sect."

Noticing Chen Zi'ang's surprise, Taiyi said nonchalantly, "I've never taken This Seat seriously. What difference would it make if I gave him to you?"

Thank you, senior.

Chen Beiwu immediately thanked him, lest the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword change its mind.

"But!"

Sure enough, no sooner had Chen Beiwu finished speaking than Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword changed its tone, "I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?" Chen Beiwu asked tentatively.

"I need you to help me remove the Great Dao wounds embedded in the sword."

Taiyi looked at Chen Beiwu and went straight to the point.

"The Dao Injury!!!"

Chen Beiwu was slightly taken aback, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

The so-called Dao Injury is not an injury to the physical body, nor is it an injury to the Law Power or spirit, but an injury to the Great Dao itself.

What is the wound of the Great Dao?

The Great Dao is nameless and formless, and cannot be harmed. However, after the Union with the Dao Void Refinement Dao Venerable merges with the Dao and reaches the supreme state of "the Dao is me, and I am the Dao," any injury to oneself becomes an Dao Injury, and any deficiency in oneself becomes a deficiency in the Great Dao.

This is precisely why the Dao Injury suffered by cultivators at the Void Refinement are difficult to heal and require the Great Dao to repair them.

Chen Beiwu looked around at the Jet Black, towering mountains, his heart sinking slightly.

He was merely a True Venerable at the Spirit Transformation Peak; how could he be qualified to remove the Dao Injury from the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword, especially four of them!

"The Dao Injury are difficult to heal, and I fear that I am willing but unable to do so," Chen Beiwu said frankly.

If he were strong enough to heal his Dao Injury, he wouldn't need to communicate with the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword; he could unify the Southern Wild Region on his own without relying on the power of the four sects' Dao artifacts.

"Ordinary Spirit Transformation Peak True Venerable cannot do this, but you might."

Taiyi smiled and offered his terms, "If you can help me remove these Dao Injury, This Seat can grant you a great Creation, allowing your Sword Dao to reach the Fifth Realm of Perfection, and giving you one foot in the Sixth Realm of Sword Dao."

"Hiss!"

Before Chen Beiwu could react, Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Xuele, and Zhiling all gasped in shock through their Shared Cultivation perception.

What does it mean to be at the Sixth Realm half-step Sword Dao?

According to the "Taiyi Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate Dao Register", such Sword Cultivator have cultivated the Dao Register to Perfection and reached the Initial Transformation. They can kill Half-Step Void Refinement cultivator with just one sword.

"If you can help me remove these two Dao Injury, This Seat can grant you a chance to Void Refinement fortuitous opportunity, increasing your chances of attaining Void Refinement Realm by 20%." Hearing this, even with Chen Beiwu's powerful Primordial Spirit and clear Spiritual Terrace, he couldn't help but be tempted.

Seemingly sensing Chen Beiwu's eagerness, the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword's voice grew even more steadfast: "If you can help me heal the three Dao Injury, This Seat can make you the sword master of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword, wielding the Great Dao of Sin-Slaying that it carries, and allowing you to reach the realm of the Primordial Unity Sword Saint in a short time." "At that time, even if Void Refinement Dao Venerable level being descends from the Eastern Land, Western Heaven, or Northern Profound Realms, you will be able to protect yourself or advance with the power of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword."

Hearing such tempting conditions, Chen Beiwu was tempted, but at the same time, he became increasingly wary.

No one gets up early without a reason.

The fact that the spirit of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword was willing to offer such conditions demonstrates just how difficult it is to heal the Dao Injury it suffered!

"Huh?" "Hey?" "Eek?" (What are the benefits of healing the fourth Dao Injury?)

Golden Egg, Xuele, and Zhiling all felt a surge of curiosity.

Chen Beiwu then took the opportunity to ask this question as well.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult! To heal the fourth Dao Injury, unless you can reach the Void Refinement Third Step, the probability is extremely slim." Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword shook its head, having no intention of setting further conditions.

The reason is simple: if Chen Zi'ang could truly achieve such a miracle, his cultivation level would have surpassed Chi's peak, and he would be fully capable of wielding the full power of the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword.

"Taiyi, doesn't the Mysterious Sword Pavilion offer trials for Dao artifacts?" Chen Beiwu.

Compared to healing Dao Injury, which is extremely difficult and seemingly impossible to achieve, Chen Beiwu prefers to gain the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword's approval through ordinary Dao artifact trials.

"No." Taiyi chuckled lightly, saying without any hesitation, "If I were willing to acknowledge the cultivators of the Taiyi Dao Sect This Seat as my master, the Five Lineages of the Dao Sect would not have been divided for tens of thousands of years."

Chen Beiwu's heart tightened.

The attitude that Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword is now displaying is quite clear.

The Mysterious Sword Pavilion can give it to him, but not the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword, unless he can help Senior Taiyi remove his Dao Injury.

Thinking of this, even though Chen Beiwu knew the chances were slim, he couldn't help but probe, "How can I help you heal your Dao Injury, senior?" "This matter is difficult, but it's not without a solution."

Taiyi a deep voice, "The Great Dao injuries on This Seat body all originated from the four Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact of Xuanhuangzi."

"Now that your cultivation is shallow, the more you know, the more dangerous it will be. This Seat, I can only tell you about the first Dao Injury. I cannot say more about the rest." As soon as he finished speaking, the world changed. The Jet Black Mountain suddenly rose higher, forming a black peak that reached straight to the sky, which came into Chen Beiwu's view.

The next instant, Black Peak flashed with Divine Light, bursting forth with divine runes Dao Resonance, vaguely outlining a terrifying blade shadow.

Its shape resembles Law Treasure, with a blade without an edge, entirely black, and mysterious ink patterns engraved on the back and hilt, each about ten thousand feet long, radiating an extreme aura that could devour the heavens and the earth.

Faced with this aura, Chen Beiwu's breath hitched, his Spiritual Perception warned him, and he felt an indescribable crisis of death.

"This blade 'Status is beyond comprehension; it's definitely not an ordinary Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact!" Chen Beiwu felt a chill run down his spine.

Even when he faced the Heavenly Abyss Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron- Suppressing Cauldron and the Heavenly One Northern Nether Mirror directly, he had never felt such a terrifying aura.

"The Name of this sword is ominous. Even if you now possess the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Peak stage, the moment you learn the Name this sword, you will be sensed by its spirit, and your path will be severed, your body and soul will perish." Taiyi's tone carried a hint of apprehension.

"ⅠⅠ"

Upon hearing this, Chen Beiwu couldn't help but feel a slight urge to back down.

What a ferocious Primordial Chaos Dao Artifact!

He knew how dangerous the sword was just from its name.

If he were to help Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword remove the Dao Injury, wouldn't he be endangering his own life?

"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"

The four little guys, Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Xuele, and Zhiling, all realized that the Taiyi Sin-Slaying Sword had ill intentions; otherwise, why would it have asked Spirit Transformation Venerable to help remove such a terrifying Dao Injury?
