"Arrogant brat!"
Below.
The Thousand Sword Daoist bellowed furiously from within the grand formation of Penglai Island and charged forward. However, he was unable to fly out of the grand formation. The grand formation of Penglai Island blossomed with resplendent light, blocking the Thousand Sword Daoist.
The Hermit of Forgotten Love approached them through the skies, smiling. "Brother Thousand Swords, since the brat Jiang He has provoked the Penglai Sect, we would naturally have to deal with him. It has been over a thousand years since you came to our sect, hasn't it? After I kill this thief, I'll take you on a tour around my sect. "
The Hermit of Forgotten Love strode out and stepped out of the Penglai Sect's mountain-guarding array. Jiang He would have been killed if he did not have an immortal item, but now that Jiang He was holding an immortal item, only the Penglai Sect could kill him!
At that moment, Exalted Wang Qing felt a little excited.
An Immortal Artifact!
And it was an immortal sword!
After all, none of the secluded immortal sects, demonic sects, daemonic sects, or even the Holy Grounds of Earth possessed immortal items. The Penglai Sect's greatest treasure was merely a demi-immortal item, the Clear Sky Mirror.
The other members of the Penglai Sect were stirred as well, with the short chieftain tearing up and unable to control his excitement as he muttered, "Ancestral Master, please bless us. If we obtain that immortal sword, the Penglai Sect would soon return to its ancient glory, and might even strive for providence in this Chaos to advance a step further!"
In that very moment, he realized that not only was Jiang He not repulsive, but he was actually quite happy about it.
He truly is the lucky star of the Penglai Sect!
Just based on the fact that he had given her the immortal sword, she could keep him as a lowly commoner.
The Thousand Sword Daoist took a step back. His expression was dark and ruthless to begin with, and no changes could be seen on his face at the moment.
In fact, the Thousand Sword Daoist had already contacted the higher-ups of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect …
Now, he could only hope that the brat Jiang He really had some ability and a trump card for daring to come to the Penglai Sect, and that he would not be instantly killed by the Hermit of Forgotten Love. If he could buy himself a few minutes, there was no telling who would get the immortal sword when the elites of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect arrived!
"My Wan Jian House is a House of Sword Cultivators. If I can get my hands on this sword, my strength will definitely increase … Hmm?"
The Thousand Sword Daoist's pupils contracted slightly.
In the sky, Exalted Wang Qing was about to attack.
The Hermit of Forgotten Love did not hold back even if Jiang He was merely a Yuan Spirit, and he did not hold back at all.
The Hermit of Forgotten Love was aware that there were many 'elites' watching the show nearby, and news of the immortal sword had probably spread. There was no telling how many covetous eyes the immortal sword would attract, and it was only by ending the battle quickly and capturing Jiang He with a single stroke to claim the immortal sword that he could avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.
He growled, "Jiang He, hand over the immortal sword and I'll spare your life!"
"Spare my life?"
Jiang He studied the Hermit of Forgotten Love as if he was retarded.
Was this person retarded?
Are you that blind?
Your Penglai Sect is already surrounded by me, and yet you are still thinking about my Mosquito Cutter and threatening me with my life?
The Hermit of Forgotten Love was a little annoyed by Jiang He's gaze, and promptly reached out and grabbed at thin air. With a rumble, a palm several Mu wide materialized out of thin air and grabbed at Jiang He.
"So powerful!"
Jiang He's eyes tightened.
To think that a seventh-retribution elite was that frightening. That giant hand felt like it could easily crush him.
Still, the first thing to do was to crush him.
In the instant that the Hermit of Forgotten Love attacked, the Nine Heavens Thunderflame Array erupted!
Heavenly thunderbolts and heavenly fire struck the Hermit of Forgotten Love all at once, destroying the giant hand made of mystic energy. Stunned, the Hermit of Forgotten Love charged his mystic treasure and burst out at full power, but was still sent flying left and right in a sorry state.
Down below, the faces of the crowd at Penglai Island twitched, with the Cloudy Sky Fairy Child exclaiming in surprise, "Impossible! I've seen Jiang He's array, and Convergence-tier individuals could barely stop it. His array would never be that powerful!"
Jiang He, on the other hand, sighed softly.
The power unleashed by the Nine Heavens Thunderflame Array was a little disappointing.
If it could not even kill a seventh-retribution elite, a Mahayana elite might not even be a threat … of course, the Nine Heavens Thunderflame Array was only one of the four layers of arrays. If the other arrays, such as entrapment, killing, illusion, and defense were triggered, even a Mahayana elite might not be able to break free if they were trapped inside.
"Jiang He!"
Amidst the thunderflame, the Hermit of Forgotten Love's body was charred black and his white hair was scalded into curls. His eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his teeth and roared in rage, braving a heavenly thunderbolt as he charged toward Jiang He.
Jiang He retreated again.
The Ten Thousand Phenomenon Array erupted.
Compared to the Nine Heavens Thunderflame Array's explosive thunderflame, the Ten Thousand Phenomenon Array was formless.
Enraged, the Hermit of Forgotten Love charged into the array, but his body shuddered in the next instant and he desperately held back his attack. His face charred by thunderflame showed a look of disbelief, and he cried out in surprise, "Xiu 'er?"
"Xiu 'er, is that you?"
"Xiu 'er, do you know how much I've missed you over the years?"
Jiang He scowled.
He knew that Exalted Wang Qing had fallen into an illusion. The deepest memories and longing in the depths of his heart had been triggered by the Myriad Phenomenon Array … But why the f * ck are you calling me Xiu 'er?
Come to think of it …
Was Xiu 'er the Hermit of Forgotten Love's woman?
Just as he had expected.
Any True Person, Daoist, Immortal, or Demon King whose Daoist title included Forgotten Love would definitely have an unforgettable relationship.
Shaking his head, Jiang He discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind and sighed, "It's time … to ascend!"
"System, improve cultivation and cultivate the fifth fold of Three Thousand Calamities!"
[Ding!]
[-10 million Farm Points.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have mastered the fifth fold of the Three Thousand Calamities, the Sword Sage cultivation method.]
… …
Down below.
The Penglai Sect crowd was left dumbfounded.
Everything that had happened today was like a roller coaster, rising and falling — it was simply too thrilling.
At first, they had assumed that a great seven-retribution elite like the Hermit of Forgotten Love would be able to take down Jiang He easily, but they did not expect that the array Jiang He had laid out would erupt with terrible thunderfire that even the Hermit of Forgotten Love found hard to stop.
That stopped the many cultivators who were about to help.
If that was the case for the Hermit of Forgotten Love, a seventh-retribution elite, were they going to die if their cultivation was inferior to the Hermit of Forgotten Love?
They could not help feeling delighted when they saw the Hermit of Forgotten Love withstanding the heavenly thunderbolts and unleashing his killing move. Some of them even clenched their fists and secretly cheered for the Hermit of Forgotten Love.
Only the Cloudy Sky Fairy Child cried out in surprise and quickly said, "No …"
And yet …
It was too late.
In the next split second, the Hermit of Forgotten Love, who had unleashed his killing move, paused in the air. As if possessed, he was crying, laughing, and screaming, repeatedly calling out 'Xiu' er ',' Xiu 'er'.
Everyone was left stunned, while the Cloudy Sky Fairy Child scowled and exclaimed, "It's an illusory array!"
"The array he laid out is so frightening. Not even the Taixu Sect chieftain could break the sealing array, illusory array, defensive array, and killing array outside his house. Now, his killing array has increased in power, and the illusory array is affecting even a seven-retribution elite."
Yun Xiao looked at Exalted Wang Qing and said, "Perfected Sect Master, quickly activate the Clear Sky Mirror. Let's see if we can use the Clear Sky Mirror to find the flaws in his array formation and then break it. Otherwise, I'm afraid only Ancestral Master White Brows can break the four array formations!"
The Penglai Sect chieftain invoked the Clear Sky Mirror to look up at the horizon, its radiance illuminating every direction. The Cloudy Sky Fairy Child, who was adept at arrays, followed the light, and was left stunned once again …
The array Jiang He had laid out was full of flaws.
It was as if …
It did not look like an array at all.
And yet, the more that was the case, the more she felt helpless.
"Eh?"
"No …"
Suddenly, the Penglai Sect chieftain's gaze changed. Controlling the Clear Sky Mirror, he could clearly sense the change in Jiang He's aura, and exclaimed in shock, "Jiang He has ascended!"
"He has reached Convergence-tier!"
"What?"
"Jiang He has reached Convergence-tier?"
The many Penglai Sect cultivators around them were stunned at those words, with the Cloudy Sky Fairy Child crying out, "Impossible! That's impossible! He was merely Yuan Spirit-intermediate when I met him a few days ago! How many days has it been? Even reincarnated immortals would not be able to cultivate from Yuan Spirit-intermediate to Convergence-tier in just a few days! "
And yet, the Penglai Sect chieftain ignored the Cloudy Sky Fairy Child.
Even so, he appeared petrified even with his Daoist heart and knowledge.
His entire being felt as if everything he knew was being overturned, and he muttered hoarsely, "Convergence-intermediate … and his cultivation is still improving … Convergence-advanced … full-fledged Convergence-tier!"
"No!"
"He's still ascending …"
Kaboom!
Suddenly, a thunderous rumble echoed.
Even with the Penglai Sect's mountain-guarding array and Jiang He's four-layered array, everyone could clearly see thunderclouds churning up in the skies. A massive thundercloud that covered five hundred kilometers was rapidly converging.
The Penglai Sect chieftain was limp as he muttered hoarsely, "What kind of monster did our Penglai Sect provoke … he is about to experience retribution!"
The many elites of the Penglai Sect were silent.
In just a few days, Jiang He had cultivated from Yuan Spirit-intermediate to full-fledged Yuan Spirit-tier. It was already unimaginable …
And yet, how was he just full-fledged Yuan Spirit-tier now?
He had gone straight up to Convergence-tier and Sufferance-tier!
Eating and drinking would not be that easy, would it?
Gasp!
Suddenly, someone inhaled sharply and exclaimed in shock, "Heavens, a five-hundred-kilometer thundercloud of retribution … and it's still converging. Isn't a ninefold heavenly retribution nothing more than that?"
The Penglai Sect chieftain, who had sensed the change in Jiang He's aura through the Clear Sky Mirror was going mad and about to break down. "No, this is impossible! Why is his aura still improving … Three retributions? Five retributions? Eight retributions? Nine retributions … "
"Could he be weathering all nine heavenly retributions in one go and ascending to full-fledged nine retributions?"
"Oh, no!"
The Penglai Sect chieftain suddenly jumped up from the ground and exclaimed in shock, "Quick, wake Supreme Venerable Forgotten Love! He is within the range of heavenly retribution and would trigger his own retribution …"
And yet, it was already too late.
There was a loud bang.
A violet heavenly thunderbolt descended from the skies.
No!
There were two of them. One was aimed at Jiang He, and the other … at the Hermit of Forgotten Love, who was still muttering 'Xiu' er '!
