"Brothers, save me!!"
The Tower Guard Monk’s face was deathly pale, watching the towering sword shadow slash down towards him, his pupils contracted sharply, no longer maintaining any dignified demeanor, he shouted for help in panic.
But the sword had already struck.
The monk’s tall Dharma Aspect seemed small before the mountain-like sword shadow.
With one strike,
The Dharma Aspect wielding the Prayer Beads, intending to kill Lin Heng, hastily hung the beads in front of himself, in a futile attempt to block.
However, the Celestial Spirit Sword Qi was a Heaven-Opening Sword Skill realized after multiple exchanges between Qingcheng Mountain’s Ancestor Wenfeng a thousand years ago and the ascended Master Changqing of Shushan!
Its power was strong enough to surpass realms and kill the opponent!
Not to mention the current Dharma Aspect, derived from the Grandmaster Monk using a Magical Artifact and Secret Technique.
Even a true Early Stage Great Power Dharma Aspect would be obliterated by this sword!
With a "splurt" sound!
The colossal sword shadow, in an unstoppable manner, cleaved the Eighth Grade Prayer Beads and extinguished the towering Dharma Aspect.
Then, amidst the frantic screams of the Tower Guard Monk, it slashed him from top to bottom, obliterating his Divine Soul.
All this happened in the blink of an eye.
The three Tower Guard Monks, who were just horrified by the sword’s momentum, saw their brother tragically killed under the sword shadow.
This made their eyes red with rage and fear.
"What was that?"
Similarly, this sudden scene left the cultivators who came to witness the battle all open-mouthed in disbelief.
"What the hell? What the hell is happening?"
"One sword? That Daoist used just one sword to destroy the Dharma Aspect-protected Leifeng Pagoda Elder?"
"Oh my god, what kind of Sword Dao Divine Techniques is that? Why is its power so terrifying?"
"Could it be... Could it be the legendary secret of Changbai Mountain’s Sword Tomb? But that’s a Daoist, how can he know the Sword Dao Divine Techniques of Changbai Mountain?"
The crowd argued full of shock over that sword, prompting various speculations.
Until an elder trembled and said, "No... That is not the Sword Dao Divine Techniques of Changbai Mountain!"
"That’s the Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques, Celestial Spirit Sword Qi, created after multiple exchanges between Qingcheng Mountain’s Ancestor Wenfeng and the already ascended Master Changqing of Shushan!"
What?
These words caused a sensation.
"That’s the legendary Celestial Spirit Sword Qi?"
"I’ve heard of this Sword Dao Divine Techniques! It’s said that Qingcheng Mountain’s Ancestor Wenfeng used that sword to kill a Ghost Emperor of Fengdu City at the time!"
"After that, for nearly a thousand years, only the 32nd generation Sect Leader of Qingcheng Mountain mastered this Divine Techniques. But unfortunately, that Sect Leader was already over three hundred years old at the time, and within a few months of mastering the sword, he passed away."
"Since then, never heard anyone from Qingcheng Mountain successfully mastered this Sword Dao Divine Techniques again!"
"No wonder this Sword Dao Divine Techniques demands extremely harsh requirements for cultivation; not only must one possess pure Innate True Qi, but must also perfect the Qi Body Origin Flow before they can cultivate this sword!"
"The Innate True Qi is a given; the distinguished Daoists of Qingcheng Mountain throughout the ages can basically cultivate pure Innate True Qi, but elevating Qi Body Origin Flow to perfection is too difficult."
"After all, cultivators have limited lifespans, not choosing to seal themselves as a foundation, the longest they could live is three hundred years; in that three hundred years, trying to perfect Qingcheng Mountain’s Supreme Divine Techniques, Qi Body Origin Flow is excessively challenging, and even if perfected, mastering Celestial Spirit Sword Qi requires decades more time."
"Calculating like this, it’s no wonder that in a millennium, besides the creator Ancestor Wenfeng, only one Sect Leader in his twilight years successfully mastered Celestial Spirit Sword Qi..."
The cultivators arrived, a mixed crowd of experts and novices alike.
And the elder who trembled out the fact it was Celestial Spirit Sword Qi was a Grandmaster Level figure of great fame.
No one doubted him.
Everyone was just incredulous.
"So, what kind of genius must this Daoist, who mastered Celestial Spirit Sword Qi, be?"
Many marveled and sighed.
Some speculated, "Is it possible that this Daoist is actually a three-hundred-year-old monster?"
A Grandmaster belongs to the Divinity Communication Realm, already touching upon the profound mysteries of the Dao; returning to youthful vigor is merely a minor trick.
"Probably not!"
"Recently, many in the cultivation realm have investigated this Daoist, according to everyone’s information, the Daoist is indeed very young, but what’s odd is, this Daoist and his Qingfeng Temple were formerly quite unknown."
"He only revealed his true skills recently."
"Hiding for years, it’s uncertain what his purpose was? What secrets lie behind it?"
"Alas, the mysterious matters and people in Daoism are too many, hard to understand, making one curious."
Countless cultivators murmured in low voices, deeply lamenting.
And Qingfeng Temple was steeped in a suffocatingly tense atmosphere.
"Celestial Spirit Sword Qi!"
"How could he know... such Divine Techniques?"
The remaining three Tower Guard Monks wore expressions as grim as eating a dead rat.
As Grandmasters who’ve cultivated for two hundred years, even though they’d stayed in Leifeng Pagoda their entire lives, they’d heard of some top Daoist methods.
Especially regarding Qingcheng Mountain’s feats.
Of course, not because Qingcheng Mountain had a supreme status among the Five Great Holy Lands, but because the White Snake suppressed in Leifeng Pagoda and her lifelong enemy Cyan Snake Demon both reached enlightenment there.
As this generation’s Tower Guard Monks suppressing the White Snake, they naturally knew quite a bit about Qingcheng Mountain.
Now, after a brief shock, they finally realized what techniques their opponent used!
"Who on earth are you?!" The One-Eyed Monk couldn’t help but inquire, hatred for his brother’s killer and fear of the sword’s power deep in his eyes.
At that moment, he was already silently considering escape tactics.
However, he hadn’t realized the Daoist before him had always been someone who acted silently and decisively.
"You haven’t figured out who I am, yet dare to attack Qingfeng Temple?"
"Where’s justice if you don’t die?"
Lin Heng’s eyes were cold, he gestured, countless Celestial Winds surged, Innate True Qi ran wildly.
Intertwined, within moments, another mountain-like giant sword materialized.
No superfluous words.
Lin Heng struck the One-Eyed Monk with another sword.
"You brat, how dare you?!!!"
The One-Eyed Monk screamed, initially wanting to negotiate and find a chance to escape.
But how could he know that the moment he spoke, the other party just slashed at him with another sword?
