146: Sword Technique "Zhan Dao" New Sacred Technique "Tianxu Jiezhi" (2 in 1 5k!)

After Qin Wangchuan returned to his Family, he immediately ascended to the Longevity Heaven.

This was the Qin Family's independent Small World, and the Old Ancestor resided above the Tenth Heaven.

Qin Taiyi sat alone under a small tree and slowly opened his eyes after sensing someone's arrival.

"I heard you did something big in the Lower Realm..."

His words stopped abruptly.

He slowly looked up, his cloudy eyes gradually narrowing.

The young man walking towards him had golden flames burning in his eyes, and in the depths of his pupils, a shattered star river and a toppled Immortal Court were reflected—a resolute determination spanning across eons of time and space.

"Very good eyes." The Old Ancestor suddenly chuckled, then stood up, and with a raise of his hand, two chairs appeared. After sitting down, he reminisced, "It reminds me of how your Elder brother looked when he came to me, covered in blood—"

"Just like you are now."

"He said then that there was someone he needed to kill." The Old Ancestor's gaze was like a torch, "It seems you are the same?"

Qin Wangchuan looked directly into the Old Ancestor's eyes without flinching: "Yes."

"I ask Old Ancestor to bestow upon me a Law that can cut the future with the present."

"Cutting the future with the present... Hmm... So that's it..." Qin Taiyi wasn't too surprised. His eyelids drooped slightly, and his withered fingers lightly tapped in the Void Realm, as if divining something.

A moment later, he looked up.

"I have a Sword Intent that can cut through everything."

There were no fancy words, just four characters.

Cuts through everything.

"But with your current Realm and Physique..." Qin Taiyi said, shaking his head, "Let alone wielding it, you don't even have the qualification to unleash a millionth of its power."

His withered fingers lightly tapped the armrest: "However, this doesn't mean there's no hope."

"Your Comprehension Ability reaches the heavens. After I demonstrate a few times, you can comprehend it on your own."

"Turn my Supreme Sword Intent into a Sword Intent you can use."

Qin Taiyi slowly rose from the chair, his sleeves moving without wind.

He extended his withered right hand and lightly clenched it in the Void Realm—

A faint light bloomed in his palm. The light was initially soft like moonlight, then grew brighter and brighter, eventually condensing into a pitch-black sword.

"Zheng!"

The sword body had no form, yet it devoured all surrounding light, as if even time and space themselves were collapsing towards the blade.

With a casual wave towards the distance.

A ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi, purely condensed from darkness, tore through the sky, splitting this world in two.

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, space collapsed layer by layer, revealing the endless Void Realm turbulence beneath.

Countless star fragments burst out from the crack, only to turn into dust the moment they touched the Sword Qi.

But that wasn't all!

"Watch closely." The Old Ancestor's wrist rotated, and the ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi suddenly condensed into a giant sword spanning heaven and earth.

The sword body was entwined with billions of threads of destructive divine thunder, and in the direction the sword tip pointed, time began to flow backward—

Falling leaves flew back to the branches, scattered sea of clouds re-gathered, and even light and shadow flowed in reverse.

But the giant sword was unaffected, slashing down with a roar.

There was no sound, no vibration, but wherever the sword's edge passed, all things returned to destruction, not annihilation, but a complete erasure as if they had never existed.

Not even a trace was left behind; instead, it turned into nothingness.

Qin Wangchuan's Heavenly Evolution Divine Eye operated frantically, golden Dao patterns intertwining into a net in his pupils.

He saw that this sword did not cut the present, but flowed upstream along the river of time, completely stripping the concept of "existence" from its root.

Even light itself broke into shattered light spots before the sword's edge.

"It's your turn." The Old Ancestor's voice pulled him back to reality.

Qin Wangchuan closed his eyes and concentrated.

When he opened his eyes again, his palm was lightly clasped.

A faint light bloomed in his palm, then grew brighter and brighter, eventually condensing into a pitch-black sword.

It bore a seven-tenths resemblance to the one held by the Old Ancestor.

The light was far less pure than the Old Ancestor's, but it carried his unique celestial thunder light.

The Supreme Dao Heart within his body pulsed to its extreme, and vast spiritual power circulated throughout his body, finally converging in his palm.

He swung the sword.

A pure black ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi tore through heaven and earth, but quickly restored itself under the Laws of heaven and earth.

Qin Taiyi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the gradually dissipating black Sword Qi, and slightly shook his head:

Although it was already very good, in his eyes, it was still too crude.

"This sword contains the power of Law. It is ultimately difficult for you to wield it without having achieved Dao."

It was meant to be a comforting remark, but to Qin Wangchuan's ears, it was like a sudden realization.

"Law...?" he murmured softly, and behind him, the Grand Void Divine Feathers suddenly emitted a brilliant divine light.

Qin Wangchuan once again assumed his stance, his Supreme Dao Heart rumbling.

"I haven't indeed comprehended Law, but..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked up, his eyes bursting with astonishing brilliance, "The Grand Void Divine Feathers has it!"

The Grand Void Divine Feathers possessed complete spatial Law.

And space and time were not separate paths, but interconnected.

"As long as I achieve the Realm of human-sword-feather Fusion, it can be done!"

Human-sword-feather Fusion?

Qin Taiyi muttered these words as he looked at Qin Wangchuan, feeling as if this young man had casually spoken of something extraordinary.

However, in the next moment.

Qin Wangchuan's eyes suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and the Grand Void Divine Feathers fully spread out, each feather flowing with time and space Dao patterns.

He clasped his hands, and the pitch-black sword shadow and the divine feather's radiance gradually merged—

Sword and feather merged, and the human held the sword and feather!

The moment the three perfectly merged, an unprecedented sword light burst forth.

This sword was no longer a simple black Sword Qi.

Within the sword light, the purple light of the Grand Void Divine Feathers and the golden light of the Heavenly Evolution Divine Eye perfectly intertwined, forming a hundred-foot Sword Qi woven in three colors.

As the Sword Qi spread, it finally condensed into a giant sword spanning heaven and earth.

The giant sword finally struck an immortal mountain in the distance.

There was no earth-shattering explosion; the entire mountain range seemed to have been eroded by the river of time for millions of years, instantly weathering and disintegrating into a sky full of dust.

What was even more terrifying was that the dust re-formed into the mountain's original shape in mid-air, and then weathered again... This cycle repeated, as if trapped in an eternal Reincarnation of time.

"Wonderful!" Qin Taiyi's eyes blazed with light, and his withered fingers unconsciously stroked his beard, "Although it borrowed the convenience of external objects, and the sword's momentum is slightly unrefined..."

He suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice shaking the Tenth Heaven: "However, to grasp two-tenths of its true meaning on the first attempt is already astonishing talent!"

Qin Wangchuan stared blankly at his trembling hands, his knuckles white from excessive force, and the lingering time and space Dao patterns still remaining in his palms.

He whispered in disbelief: "It succeeded!"

—This was originally just a flash of inspiration, a conjecture, even carrying a hint of desperation.

But at this moment, it succeeded!

As he was reveling in surprise, Qin Wangchuan suddenly grunted, and a trickle of golden blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

The purple light on the Grand Void Divine Feathers visibly dimmed a few shades, clearly indicating the immense consumption of that sword strike.

Qin Taiyi had also anticipated this scene. He tapped Qin Wangchuan's forehead with his fingertip, transferring a wisp of pure Origin Qi, "This sword can cut through the past and future. It involves Karma, and the backlash is extremely severe; this is without even striking a person."

"It's best not to use it unless it's an emergency in the future."

He paused, then added: "Although it was through my hand, it is indeed a Law you comprehended. Have you thought of a name for it?"

Qin Wangchuan gazed at the Sword Intent that had not yet dissipated in his palm, the golden light in his eyes flickering erratically.

After a moment of silence, he looked up and spoke solemnly:

"Dao Severing."

As these two words were uttered, the winds and clouds in Longevity Heaven changed.

Qin Taiyi nodded in satisfaction, saying nothing more.

But Qin Wangchuan looked over at this moment and asked that question:

"Old Ancestor, is there a Law in this world that can return to the past and converse with oneself?"

Qin Taiyi looked at him upon hearing this, then gave an affirmative answer:

"Yes."

Qin Taiyi lightly waved his sleeve, and an invisible Dao rhyme pressed Qin Wangchuan to sit on a jade chair that had appeared at some unknown time.

He himself also sat down leisurely, lightly tapping the back of the chair with his fingertip.

"Although there is, but Wangchuan..." The Old Ancestor's voice carried a deep meaning, "Why do you suddenly ask this, could it be..."

Qin Wangchuan remained silent, but Qin Taiyi already understood.

The shocking chess game in the Middle Thousand Province shook all the heavens; as the Heavenly Emperor, how could he not know?

"For a Heavenly Emperor, traversing the river of time is not difficult." The Old Ancestor's tone deepened, "The key is when you want to return to."

"What if it's tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

Qin Taiyi laughed upon hearing this, waving his hands repeatedly: "Nonsense! Tens of thousands of years would still require an unimaginable price, hundreds of thousands of years? The Karma involved is unimaginable; even a Heavenly Emperor cannot do it!"

'But he did it.'

Qin Wangchuan thought this in his heart, marveling at how terrifying his future self was.

Then he asked another question.

"Even the Immortal Court... will it have a time of demise?"

Qin Taiyi looked at him deeply upon hearing this, then replied: "All things have a beginning and an end. Even the Supreme Immortal Court will naturally have a time of fall."

"All of this is the great tribulation of the world."

"But this is meaningless."

"Even if the Immortal Court perishes, I will not perish. As long as I am here, the Qin Family will still be here."

After speaking, he looked over with a burning gaze, "Do you understand what I mean?"

He understood now.

The Old Ancestor did not hold the Ten Directions Immortal Court and the Qin Family in high regard, because he himself was the Qin Family.

This also explained why his future self had said that.

Even telling the Old Ancestor would not only fail to gain direct help but might also make things worse.

Qin Wangchuan still wanted to ask something, but the Old Ancestor waved his hand.

"Knowing too much only adds to your troubles. Even if a great tribulation descends, the Elders will bear it."

"Diligently Cultivating is what you should be doing now."

With that.

Qin Taiyi's figure gradually dissipated into the clouds of the Tenth Heaven, leaving only the words, "You should stay here and practice well for now," echoing in the air.

Qin Wangchuan took a deep breath and re-gripped the sword shadow in his hand.

"It can only be me, it must be me."

"Xu Tianluo... must be killed!"

He repeated the trajectory of that sword over and over again.

Initially, the sword light still appeared unrefined, and the Fusion of the Grand Void Divine Feathers and Sword Intent was sometimes sluggish.

But with continuous practice, the three-colored Sword Qi became more and more solid, and the ripples of time and space it cut became clearer and clearer.

However, immersed in the tempering of Sword Intent, Qin Wangchuan did not notice that his immortal bone had changed at some unknown time.

"Hoo..."

Qin Wangchuan stood still, having gathered his Qi, but at a certain moment, a sudden change occurred.

The spiritual power that should have subsided instead became unusually restless.

The immortal bone within his body also rumbled uncontrollably, each bone exuding a brilliant golden light, intertwining behind him to form a blazing halo.

Within the halo, billions of Dao patterns flowed, resonating and trembling with the Grand Void Divine Feathers, causing the entire Longevity Heaven to shake violently.

Qin Wangchuan looked at this scene, slightly stunned:

"This is... an anomaly of immortal bone Awakening?"

Ever since his immortal bone had Awakened last time due to the Martial God Senior, he had anticipated a second time.

But he hadn't expected it to come so quickly.

There was no time to think.

The golden light of the immortal bone all converged on his right index finger, tempering that segment of finger bone until it was as translucent as glazed glass, with the turbulent time and space entwined around it emitting a grating tearing sound.

The sky suddenly darkened.

Countless star fragments poured down from the Void Realm crack, forming a giant vortex above his head.

At the heart of the vortex, a golden finger shadow spanning heaven and earth slowly emerged—

That finger shadow was covered with ancient Dao patterns, each pattern reflecting scenes of the world's creation and destruction. As the finger joints flexed and extended, they caused thousands of moments in time and space to collapse and then reform.

Without any need for instruction, the method of using this move naturally appeared in Qin Wangchuan's mind.

He lightly pointed a finger at an immortal mountain a hundred miles away.

Where the finger wind passed, the ten-thousand-foot mountain peak did not collapse but directly imploded into a singularity, then exploded into billions of time and space fragments.

The sea of clouds affected by the finger force instantly experienced tens of thousands of gatherings and dispersals, and the peach forest turned into flying ash and then returned to new sprouts in the Reincarnation of prosperity and decay.

Qin Wangchuan gazed at his fingertip and softly called out the name of this move:

"Supreme Sacred Law—Heavenly Ruins Tribulation Finger."

Qin Wangchuan gazed at the glazed Dao patterns that had not yet dissipated on his fingertip, feeling the gradually fading power of the immortal bone within him, and couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Dao Slaying Heavenly Mark, Heavenly Ruins Tribulation Finger... Now that I possess two Sacred Laws, I have a few more certainties."

He continued to Cultivate in Longevity Heaven for several days, gradually integrating the two Sacred Laws.

On this day, as he was deducing a combined sword and finger attack technique, Ye Jianwei came to report, saying—

Li Qingluan had arrived.

Qin Wangchuan naturally knew why she had come: to invite him to the Immortal Path.

But there was one thing he hadn't expected.

In Wangchuan Pavilion.

Li Qingluan lightly raised her jade hand, and three spiritual objects gracefully emerged from her sleeve, suspended above the table, emitting a shimmering treasure light.

She first pointed to the first treasure—it was a treasure bead the size of a Dragon Pearl, within which a swimming golden Dragon phantom was Sealed. The Dragon's breath, as it exhaled and inhaled, emitted a heart-palpitating pressure.

"This is the Primordial Dragon Origin I obtained in the Dragonfall Abyss. Taking it can temper your immortal bone and Dragon scales, greatly benefiting your Physique and armor."

Then her slender, delicate finger moved to the second item, which was a Jade Slip flowing with time and space Dao patterns.

"This is the 'Illusory World Scroll' I stumbled upon in a time-space Secret Realm. After studying it, you can weave illusory realities. It is said to be quite compatible with your Grand Void Divine Feathers, though I don't know if it's true or false."

Finally, Li Qingluan gently held up the third treasure—a nine-leaf spiritual ganoderma lucidum, crystal clear throughout its body.

Dense frost patterns condensed on its leaves, and each pattern shimmered with starlight, clearly indicating its extraordinary nature.

"This is the Moon Essence Star Soul Ganoderma." Her tone carried a hint of reverence, "A thousand years of moon essence condensed, ten thousand years of star nourishment. Taking it can nourish your body and mind."

After Li Qingluan finished speaking, she looked at Qin Wangchuan. Although her gaze was as calm as usual, he somehow detected a trace of worry.

"I heard you had another Epiphany in the Lower Realm. Sometimes, rapid advancement in Cultivation is not good. This item will help you solidify your Foundation."

After Li Qingluan finished her introduction, she elegantly crossed her legs, her skirt rippling like water.

She rested her chin on her hand and lightly nodded with her chin: "Eat it."

Her tone was gentle yet unquestionable, much like an Elder sister who only feels at ease after watching her younger brother personally consume a tonic.

Qin Wangchuan chuckled, yet he complied readily.

He first consumed the Dragon Origin, and the Dragon Gauze dormant on his robe seemed to be nourished and began to move.

Afterwards, he handed the ganoderma to Ye Jianwei, instructing her to send it to the Elders' place, as it required multiple Medicinal Pills as auxiliary ingredients to fully activate its effects.

Not long after, the Medicinal Pill was refined and he put it into his mouth.

Although it was already a Medicinal Pill, he could still feel a cool, sweet liquid moistening his throat. His entire body's Meridians seemed to be cleansed by the moonlight, and the fatigue from days of arduous Cultivation instantly dissipated.

The Dao patterns on his immortal bone autonomously lit up, reflecting the starlight of the ganoderma.

"How is it?" Li Qingluan leaned forward slightly, her eyes hiding an imperceptible concern.

"As expected of a ten-thousand-year-old treasure." Qin Wangchuan felt the surging yet gentle medicinal power within him. Although he didn't feel much, he still said, "My Cultivation has indeed stabilized a lot."

Only then did Li Qingluan show a satisfied expression, lightly tapping the table with her fingertip: "You should keep this Cultivation Technique as well. Although it's not something of ultimate power, who knows when it might come in handy."

"As for your Dao Seeking Palace, I also went to see it... Hmm..."

After thinking for a long time, Li Qingluan couldn't even think of a single word of praise.

There were too many strange people inside; it was difficult to evaluate.

After chatting for a while longer, they finally got to the most important matter.

"The Immortal Path opened a year ago, and all parties rushed to enter."

"Although the Opportunities inside are mediocre, I heard that the scenery of the Immortal Path is exceptionally beautiful. I've been waiting for you and haven't gone. When the Immortal Path reopens in a while, you can come with me to see it."

It wasn't a question, but it wasn't a command either.

As she grew older and stronger, Li Qingluan became more like a domineering older sister.

But at the same time, she was also like a sister; as long as Qin Wangchuan spoke, she would most likely not refuse.

This was mutual between the two of them.

"Alright." Qin Wangchuan nodded in agreement.

Li Qingluan's brows curved, clearly very satisfied.

But she didn't notice that when she heard the words "Immortal Path," a cold glint flashed in Qin Wangchuan's eyes.

'Xu Tianluo... just wait for me somewhere on the Immortal Path.'
