Chapter 68: I Must Let Them Join My Immortal Sword Sect!
At the same time, in a corner of the back mountain of the Partnered Path Sect, a black figure slowly appeared.
As the figure appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped a few degrees. His gaze was fixed on the bamboo house at the back of the sect. It was the assassin sent by Wang Hao that day.
"It's only been a few days, and he's already broken through to the Qi Refinement Realm?"
Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, Meridian Opening, Foundation Establishment—every realm was a hurdle. Many people were stuck in the Body refinement realm for their entire lives and could not break through to the Qi Refinement Realm.
The black shadow couldn't sense Chen Tian's cultivation base, but from Chen Tian's action of creating a barrier, he could tell that he was definitely in the Qi Refinement Realm, as only the cultivators in this stage could use spiritual Qi like that.
This brat had only disappeared for a few days, yet he had already broken through the Body Refinement hurdle. He still had to act quickly to prevent future troubles. If he was given a few more days, he might not be able to kill him!
At this thought, the black shadow took out a dagger from somewhere. The dagger was emerald green in color, and it was obviously poisoned.
This poison was no ordinary poison. It was extracted from three hundred and sixty types of poisonous creatures, combined with seven hundred and twenty types of plant toxins, after a total of eighty-one days.
There was no antidote; just a scratch was enough to kill! He had once relied on this dagger to successfully kill an expert who was several cultivation levels higher than him!
He took a deep breath and retracted his aura. Following his shadow, he slowly walked towards the bamboo house.
…
On the other side, thousands of meters above the clouds, a middle-aged man in white with wide sleeves was lying on his flying sword, drifting aimlessly. From time to time, he would raise the wine pot in his hand and drink two mouthfuls of wine. He was very comfortable, as if he were not afraid of falling down!
"This is comfortable! This is… Hmm? Who is practicing their sword art?" Looking around, he saw many auspicious clouds.
"Hmm?"
As though he had thought of something, the man could not help but slap his own forehead. He turned over on the flying sword, placed one hand on it, and looked down.
The person's eyes flashed with divine light. Then it passed through the layers of clouds, and his gaze quickly locked onto a bamboo house several thousand meters below.
Then, his line of sight passed through the bamboo house and locked onto Chen Tian, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. The moment he saw Chen Tian, the middle-aged man immediately sobered up.
He was so excited that he nearly fell off his flying sword. Luckily, the flying sword was intelligent and caught the middle-aged man in the blink of an eye. The middle-aged man couldn't help but want to drink a mouthful of wine to calm himself down, but he didn't manage to. The wine pot in his hand disappeared.
The bamboo house was a different scene.
At some point in time, the house was filled with dense spirit qi from heaven and earth. Even if the two people sitting next to each other opened their eyes, they probably wouldn't be able to see each other. That was the mist of heaven and earth's spirit qi, the very thick kind.
One sword aura appeared on Chen Tian's body. The sword aura that surrounded him was a manifestation of his mastery over his blade and his control over the Qi that flowed within him.
As he sat there, his eyes closed and his body perfectly still, the aura grew stronger and more intense. It hummed with power, and those nearby could feel the energy radiating from him.
Lucky for him, the barrier was keeping people from sensing the energy, but it didn't work for the old man. Despite the thick mist of spirit qi and the barrier, the old man still felt the thick sword aura and Qi. As his cultivation was definitely high.
Compared to Earth, the spirit qi on the Tevat Continent was more abundant, and active, and the Dao was more obvious. The feeling of the Great Dao was clearer.
And on Earth, the place that was sealed by that strange voice seemed to have been covered by something that blocked the Supreme Dao.
The Eternal Celestial Sword Art that he had comprehended on Earth seemed to have missed many crucial details, but at this moment, under the rules of the Tevat Continent's Dao, it had made up for its deficiencies.
In a moment, the sword aura around Chen Tian slowly reduced, and he felt a sense of unease. He wondered if he had done something wrong during his cultivation.
But then, something unexpected happened. The sword's aura transformed into a bright, glowing orb of light that hovered in front of him. Chen Tian could feel its power pulsing through his body.
As he watched in amazement, the orb began to change once again. It shape-shifted and contorted, taking on the form of a beautiful sword with a shimmering, golden blade.
He reached out to touch the sword, and as his fingers made contact with the hilt, he felt a surge of energy flow through him.
This sword was imbued with the power of the heavens and the earth and Chen Tian Sword Aura.
The Eternal Celestial Sword Art, Second Style, created a sword with one Aura that could cut the heavens. If one day Chen Tian didn't have a sword, he could just create one.
The sword in his hand will grow stronger the more Chen Tian Sword Aura grows stronger If Chen Tian used something stronger than the Sword Aura stage, he was sure that this sword could kill a foundation realm expert.
Su Bingxin was also comprehending the Eternal Celestial Sword Art.
Although it was not as deep as Chen Tian's comprehension of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art, and she had only comprehended a little of the first style, the Heart of the Sword in her heart had already regained its vitality.
"This girl has talent in the sword path, reviving from silence. Truly a good sword cultivator!"
"This one is even more incredible. He has abundant Qi and blood, and there is a faint Sword Qi lingering around him. His luck is dozens of times better than that of cultivators of the same cultivation level. He was born with the talent in the way of the sword!"
"Although his cultivation level is a little low, he is still young. Furthermore, he is able to touch the Sword Aura at this stage. His future achievements are limitless!"
At this moment, the middle-aged man had already landed outside the bamboo house on his sword.
His voice was trembling, which was caused by suppressing the intense excitement in his heart.
"Who would have thought that there would be such supreme cultivation talents in this desolate land?"
Two even appeared at once!
The middle-aged man's expression was agitated. Usually, when he was in the sect, he always had a lazy appearance and did not care about anything. It had been a long time since someone or something could cause a trace of fluctuation in the middle-aged man's mental state. But today, he lost his composure.
"Such peerless cultivation talents! I must let them join my Immortal Sword Sect! With my cultivation, it's time for me to find a successor!"
The middle-aged man's gaze became increasingly fervent, as if he were a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more he looked at them, the more pleasing he found them to be.
"Such geniuses must join my Immortal Sword Sect!"
"We can't let those two bastard sects take them away! They must enter our Immortal Sword Sect!"
…
On the other side, the assassin was also slowly approaching the bamboo house. His gaze was fixed on the two people cultivating in the bamboo house.
As a professional assassin, he knew the importance of timing.
Even a lion would use its full strength when hunting a rabbit. Even if his cultivation was higher than his target's, he still had to choose a suitable time to launch a thunderous strike at the moment when his target was most relaxed!
At this moment, he restrained his aura and hid in the shadows as if he didn't exist.
The dagger in his hand had also retracted its radiance and did not reveal any killing intent.
He was waiting for the moment when Chen Tian was about to finish his cultivation. At that time, Chen Tian would be the most relaxed.
In that instant, he would charge into the bamboo house like a thunderbolt. All he needed to do was use the poisoned dagger in his hand to lightly cut the skin of his two targets.
Then, the mission could be completed perfectly.
If the assassin could sense the sword aura around Chen Tian's body, he would have thought twice before attacking, but unlike the old man, the assassin's cultivation wasn't strong enough to sense such a powerful aura. Inside Chen Tian's barrier, the assassin waited patiently, his heart racing with anticipation as he planned his next move.
After a long time, as Chen Tian finally reached the final step in his cultivation, the black shadow finally moved like thunder!
"Eh? Where's my wine pot?"
A faint voice sounded, and the assassin was instantly stunned on the spot. There were actually others around!
He had observed this place for a long time and confirmed that there were only two targets he had to deal with in the back mountains.
At this moment, this unfamiliar voice clearly did not come from the targets that he wanted to kill! Who was it? Who was it?! To actually be able to come to the bamboo house that he had been observing for a long time without him noticing!
What was even more terrifying was that he had yet to discover where the person who had spoken had come from! Just how terrifying was his cultivation!
Just as the assassin was wondering if he should continue attacking or retreat, he heard a whistling sound. He looked up and saw a wine pot falling from the sky!
By the time the assassin discovered the wine pot, he realized in horror that it was already too late to dodge!
"Clang!" The wine pot smashed onto the assassin's head, and he immediately fainted.
