48: Chapter 48 The Divine Light of the Lesser Five Elements Yin-Yang Elemental Magnetic Manifestation Displays its Power!

"This Lord considers your talent rare and will give you one more chance."

"Join my sect, and you shall receive the true inheritance. The Nascent Soul stage will be within reach, and in the future, even impacting Soul Transformation is not impossible."

"Staying in the Azure Wave Sect... is nothing more than a pearl covered in dust, wasting your years."

Feeling that heavy pressure, Ghost still shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, Senior."

"However, the path of Dao is long, and each has their own destiny."

"Since I have already chosen the Azure Wave Sect, I shall remain faithful to the end."

"Faithful to the end?" A trace of irritation finally flashed in Ling Wuchen's eyes. "Utterly foolish!"

He was not a man of good temper to begin with. The reason he had patiently said so much was, firstly, because he truly felt this child's Aptitude and Heart-Nature were acceptable.

Secondly, he also had a bit of a playful mindset, treating the world as a game.

Now, having been rejected again and again, that bit of patience had long since worn thin.

"Fine." Ling Wuchen flicked his sleeve, his tone turning indifferent. "Since you are rotten wood, there is no use in carving you. However..."

"Since this Lord has spoken, there is no reason to return empty-handed."

"Since you are unwilling to take me as your master, then take one sword strike from me."

"If you can withstand it, you may leave on your own."

"If you cannot... then follow me back to the Profound Sword Sect. Whether you are a prisoner or a disciple can be discussed later."

Before his voice had even faded, he pointed his fingers like a sword and jabbed forward.

A streak of silver Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme, burst through the air!

The Sword Qi was only three feet long, but wherever it passed, the air silently split open with a thin black scar!

For this strike, Ling Wuchen only used thirty percent of his power.

In his view, thirty percent was more than enough to deal with a Junior who had just recently reached Foundation Establishment; it was even somewhat like bullying.

But since this child did not know how to appreciate a favor, it was only right to administer a slight punishment and let him know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth.

However, in the next instant, Ling Wuchen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Facing that Sword Qi, which was enough to heavily injure an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator.

The panic and paleness on Ghost's face vanished without a trace in an instant.

Replacing it was a calmness like a deep pool.

He raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently clenched toward that silver Sword Qi.

Hum!

The Void Realm trembled!

Five-colored radiance suddenly erupted from Ghost's palm, instantly weaving into a rotating five-colored light wheel!

Within the light wheel, the power of the Five Elements—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—rotated incessantly.

Furthermore, a strange power that twisted Yin and Yang and confused the magnetic poles began to permeate the air!

The silver Sword Qi pierced into the light wheel, as if a clay ox entering the sea.

"What?!" Ling Wuchen's expression changed drastically as he cried out in alarm.

Although he hadn't used his full strength in this strike, it was by no means something a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could withstand, let alone dissolve so effortlessly!

He stared fixedly at Ghost.

At this moment, the weak aura of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage on the other party receded like a tide.

A pressure as deep as an abyss and as majestic as a mountain range erupted!

"Nas... Nascent Soul?!"

"You hid your cultivation?! How is this possible!"

His Divine Sense swept out frantically, only to find that he actually couldn't see through the other's depth at all!

That invisible barrier shrouded over Ghost seemed to isolate all probes from heaven and earth.

Only that tangible, heart-palpitating pressure could not be faked!

Ling Wuchen was both shocked and angry, but more than that was a sense of humiliation at being toyed with:

"Who exactly are you?! What are your intentions in lurking within the Azure Wave Sect?!"

"Who I am is not important." Ghost shook his head. "What is important is that you shouldn't have come, and you certainly shouldn't have thought about forcing me to be your disciple."

As his voice fell, Ghost no longer concealed himself and took a step forward.

The mountain rocks beneath his feet silently turned to powder, and the five-colored spiritual light around him flourished, turning into a rapidly spinning light wheel!

As the light wheel rotated, the Five Elements were inverted, Yin and Yang were thrown into chaos, and even gravity became bizarre!

This technique was precisely the Lesser Five Elements Yin-Yang Primordial Magnet Divine Light.

Ling Wuchen only felt his own spiritual power circulation suddenly become sluggish.

Even his Divine Sense was disturbed and scattered by the ubiquitous, chaotic Magnetic Force!

He was horrified to find that the spiritual power he had cultivated for many years actually showed signs of being pulled and stripped away by the other party's strange light wheel!

"What Divine Ability is this?!" He roared, no longer daring to hold anything back.

His natal Flying Sword, Cangming, shot out from between his brows, turning into a brilliant sword rainbow that slammed violently toward the five-colored light wheel!

This was his trump card strike, with which he had once heavily injured a Late Nascent Soul Stage old monster!

Ghost's right hand made a grasping motion, and the five-colored light wheel suddenly contracted, condensing in his palm into a ball of light that constantly collapsed and rotated.

"Go."

He gave it a gentle push.

It met the sword rainbow.

The moment the two made contact!

Crack!

That brilliant sword rainbow instantly disintegrated and was annihilated!

Ling Wuchen's eyes nearly split from rage; he could clearly feel that his connection with his natal Flying Sword was being forcibly severed!

Boom!

The natal Flying Sword, Cangming, completely shattered!

Ling Wuchen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura instantly withered.

But he was, after all, a battle-hardened veteran with extremely fast reactions.

At the moment the Flying Sword shattered, a silver light flashed at the crown of his head.

A silver small person about three inches tall, with facial features identical to his and fine sword patterns wrapped around its body, leapt out!

Nascent Soul Soul Emergence!

The silver small person's face was full of terror and resentment. Without even looking at Ghost, it turned into an extremely fine silver light, intending to tear through space and escape!

The speed of a Nascent Soul's teleportation far exceeded that of physical flight. As long as a sliver of him escaped, he would have a chance at Possession and Rebirth!

"Thinking of leaving?"

Ghost had expected this. The ball of light that had not yet dissipated trembled slightly; inside, Yin and Yang reversed, and the Magnetic Force surged!

A strange force field, invisible and formless but covering a space of several miles, was suddenly generated!

Within this force field, all escape lights, teleportations, and spatial fluctuations were forcibly distorted and delayed!

The silver light formed by Ling Wuchen's Nascent Soul seemed to have crashed into an invisible net. Its speed plummeted, revealing its original form.

"My Lesser Five Elements Yin-Yang Primordial Magnet Divine Light isn't just for clashing head-on."

Ghost's voice remained calm. He reached out his right hand and made a distant grasping motion toward the struggling Nascent Soul.

The Magnetic Force field suddenly contracted, turning into an invisible giant hand that firmly gripped the silver Nascent Soul and dragged it back.

The Nascent Soul small person's face was full of despair, and it struggled to self-detonate.

But it found that even its Nascent Soul Origin was sealed by that strange Magnetic Force, unable to move at all.

Ghost looked at the struggling Nascent Soul in his palm, his eyes showing no emotion.

The Soul-Searching Technique was activated. The silver small person trembled violently as a large number of memory fragments were forcibly extracted.

After a moment, Ghost obtained the information he wanted.

The details of Ling Wuchen's contact with the Demon Blade Sect.

The reasons for his challenges to various sects.

Some intelligence on the Profound Sword Sect.

And the circumstances behind his whim to come and check out the Azure Wave Sect.

"Just a coincidence..." Ghost murmured to himself, "But since you know what you shouldn't know, I can only say sorry."

He closed his five fingers.

Poof.

With a soft sound, the one once hailed as the thousand-year sword Dao genius of the Profound Sword Sect.

The Nascent Soul Prodigy, Ling Wuchen, who was less than three hundred years old.

Without even being able to let out a final scream, his soul and body were both extinguished beside this unknown, secluded mountain path.

The light ball and the Magnetic Force field quietly dissipated.

Ghost flicked his sleeve, collecting Ling Wuchen's Storage Ring and the remaining fragments of his clothing.

He also gathered every last bit of aura lingering in the air.

He flicked his finger and sent out a flame, burning everything to ashes.

Having done all this, his Divine Sense carefully swept over the surrounding hundred miles once more.

After confirming there were no witnesses and no traces left that could be tracked, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he, Ghost, was the Incarnation of the True Body Gu Yan, the effect of the Trait 'Traceless Dao Concealment' applied to him as well.

Whatever the main body knew, he knew; and whatever he knew, the main body would naturally know as well.

External Incarnation, it truly deserves to be called a great Divine Ability by the System.
