28: Chapter 27 The Remnant Blade Spirit Teaches the Complete Immortal Slaying Technique

The Heavenly Blade pierced straight into the horizon.

When An Qingyi was a thousand meters away from the Heavenly Blade, she could no longer take another step. She looked at Ye Xiu, who seemed unaffected, and her willow-like brows furrowed slightly. "General, your physique is truly world-shaking. It seems I cannot accompany you any further on this path."

Ye Xiu nodded and said nothing.

He didn't feel a trace of pressure; instead, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he were approaching an old friend.

The distance was closing.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived before the Heavenly Blade.

Ye Xiu reached out his right hand and slowly touched the Heavenly Blade. The blade's body was icy cold, identical to the one in front of the Blade Master's tomb. Before he could think further, his Divine Soul was pulled into a mysterious space, just as it had been the last time he touched a Heavenly Blade.

This was the world inside the Heavenly Blade.

In the boundless dark space, countless blade glints shimmered with a faint light.

They illuminated the entire space.

Ye Xiu waited for a moment, but the voice of the Blade Master did not appear in the space as it had before.

He couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Looking at the mysterious space filled with blade light, he began to approach the blade glints in his Divine Soul state. Just as he was about to reach out and try to touch one,

A raspy voice suddenly rang out: "Young man, there is a familiar feeling about you."

What's going on?

Ye Xiu was startled. This sudden voice did not belong to the Blade Master.

He stopped his movement and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the Blade Spirit, the Blade Spirit of the Ancient Imperial Court's Blade Master." The raspy voice carried a sense of pride, as if this were a supreme honor.

Blade Spirit?

The Blade Master's Blade Spirit!

Ye Xiu thought to himself, "As I expected."

Just as he had guessed, the means used to suppress Kunlun were left behind by the Blade Master.

No wonder there was another Heavenly Blade in front of the Blade Master's tomb; it turned out that what suppressed this place was the spirit of the Heavenly Blade.

He suppressed his excitement and controlled his emotions, making his voice sound a bit calmer: "This Junior was fortunate enough to receive the [Three Reincarnation Styles] Legacy before the Blade Master's tomb. I pay my respects to Senior Blade Spirit."

After speaking, he performed a Junior's salute in the direction of the voice.

The Blade Spirit's raspy voice carried surprise: "Is Li Si dead? Sigh, even the Imperial Court's Blade Master, who slaughtered the entire Immortal Race single-handedly, ultimately could not withstand the liquidation of Karma."

Karma?

A flash of surprise crossed Ye Xiu's eyes. This Blade Spirit might know the truth behind the destruction of the entire Ancient era.

He steadied his excitement once more and said, "Senior, this Junior has a few doubts and hopes Senior can provide some enlightenment."

"I don't know much anymore. The endless passage of time has long since caused me to decay. At this moment, I am merely a remnant of a lingering Obsession." The Blade Spirit's voice carried a deep sense of fatigue.

A remnant thought?

Sigh...

Ye Xiu sighed in his heart.

He hadn't expected the Blade Spirit capable of suppressing Kunlun to be in a state of a remnant thought now.

Looking at the world of blade light, after a long silence, Ye Xiu couldn't help but ask a question: "Senior, how exactly was the Ancient era destroyed?"

"War, a war that involved the entire Heavens..."

"War? Who started the war? Are they still alive?" Ye Xiu was somewhat urgent; the truth of the Ancient era was right before him.

"I am only an Obsession, an Obsession to suppress Kunlun. Perhaps after a Sublimation of the Ultimate Realm, I will remember all of this, but now is not the time."

The Blade Spirit sighed faintly and did not answer this string of questions.

"Sublimation of the Ultimate Realm..."

Ye Xiu was stunned, then he bent over and bowed deeply in the direction of the voice.

Sublimation of the Ultimate Realm meant restoring one's Peak combat power.

The Blade Spirit might have died in battle long ago, but it preserved this sliver of Obsession, waiting for a possible final battle that might occur after endless ages.

This kind of righteousness moved him.

"Senior, I shall take my leave."

Ye Xiu chose not to ask anything else and planned to withdraw from here and return to Tianfu City.

He had already delayed too much time.

From reinforcing Yunzhong City from Tianfu City to hunting down the Dragon King, more than a month had been wasted entirely on traveling.

If he didn't go back and Cultivate properly, he was afraid he would be overtaken by those coming after him.

The blade light space.

It remained quiet for several minutes.

Only then did the Blade Spirit's voice ring out again: "Since Li Si chose you, then I will also give you the essence of this [Zhu Xian] Style."

As a flash of blade light passed by,

The Profound Truth of the [Zhu Xian] Style began to be transmitted.

Ye Xiu had not originally completely mastered this Martial Skill that involved Karma, but as the Profound Truth transmitted by the Blade Spirit was fully received,

This Martial Skill, which had slain True Immortals in the hands of the Blade Master, was finally completely mastered by Ye Xiu.

[Zhu Xian]

A Martial Skill that transcended rules and used supreme Saber Intent to directly attack the opponent's Dao.

This kind of Martial Skill involved the Dao of Karma. Every time it extinguished a path of rules, it would bring great Karma upon oneself.

This style of Martial Skill was fine when the Realm was low.

But if one reached the Extreme Realm and still dared to use it casually, then every strike would surely sever the Dao of Heaven and Earth cultivated by the opponent.

It made the original Dao no longer a Dao, and the Law no longer a Law. While being peerlessly powerful, it would also involve the Karma of Heaven and Earth.

Perhaps the Blade Master's death was related to this.

Ye Xiu's Divine Soul returned to his Physical Body. He took a deep look at the Heavenly Blade in front of him, sighed again, and with one step, he was already beside An Qingyi.

"Let's go back."

"Did you find out anything..."

"No..."

"You stayed there for so long and found nothing?"

An Qingyi opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't continue to press the issue.

After all, if Ye Xiu didn't want to say anything, there was no use in her asking.

Whoosh.

The two of them were very fast.

In just over ten minutes, they had crossed over a hundred mountain Peaks and were not far from the connection point between the Kunlun world and the main world.

Just as they were flying normally across a certain mountain Peak,

A dark monster suddenly rushed straight up from the mountains below.

Its face was ashen, its body was covered in black hair, and within its shriveled eye sockets were a pair of pupils that were entirely white.

What on earth is that?

The two of them frowned slightly, glanced at each other, and immediately responded for battle.

Black Saber Qi manifested, and invisible Sword Qi soared into the sky.

With a whistle,

The attacks struck the Black-haired Monster that was rushing towards them.

Clang...

The roar of metal clashing rang out in the air.

This Black-haired Monster was like a body of Vajra; under the attack of the Saber Qi and Sword Qi, it was completely unharmed, its speed undiminished as it continued to rapidly charge at the two of them.

"Go!"

Ye Xiu gave a light shout and pulled An Qingyi, who was about to strike again, suddenly rushing towards the nearby connection point.

"My Nine Heavens Taoist Sect has some techniques for exorcising evil."

An Qingyi's willow-like brows furrowed slightly, and she was about to pull her hand away from Ye Xiu's palm.

But Ye Xiu's grip was extremely strong. No matter how she struggled, without using spiritual power, it was absolutely impossible to break free.

"If your Nine Heavens Taoist Sect could solve that group of monsters below, you wouldn't have been wiped out," Ye Xiu grumbled dissatisfiedly, continuing to fly at full speed.

An Qingyi was stunned.

She glanced down and her hair immediately stood on end.

Countless pitch-black monsters were flying up from every mountain Peak like a dark cloud, their numbers likely reaching tens of millions.
