(Thank you, Yulong Tianya, for the huge reward of fifty thousand yuan. I'm so touched. This is not just about money. It's a strong recognition. Thank you, Yulong Tianya, and all the tips. Thank you, everyone.)
Emei Tianxiu Peak, Golden Peak.
Tianxiu Peak was the highest peak in Emei and had the most beautiful scenery. It was known as the gathering place of all the beauties in the world, hence its name.
There were green pines and bamboos everywhere. There were strange rocks and waterfalls, and the area above the mountainside was surrounded by light clouds. There were thousands of cranes on Tianxiu Peak, and each crane was a unique species that could fight against a tenth-level Golden Core cultivator.
Thousands of red-crowned cranes flew up and down Tianxiu Peak. Their agile movements made Tianxiu Peak look like a celestial mountain.
Emei's masters had been constantly remodeling Tianxiu Peak. This peak was the center of the protective formation of the Emei Sword Sect.
The Reiki of Heaven and Earth gathered here to counteract the pure sword light on the Golden Peak.
The golden light on the Golden Peak was formed by the Sword God of Origin Fruit. It was the purest and sharpest. That was why it needed to be nourished by the Reiki of Heaven and Earth.
Without the Reiki of Heaven and Earth to wrap the scabbard, the powerful sword light on the Golden Peak would be destroyed by the endless Reiki.
Emei's Sect Master, Qi Tianchan, liked to stay on the Golden Peak to comprehend swordsmanship. He had been reincarnated ten times and practiced the same Sword of Virtue every time.
Every time he reincarnated, his body would be different. Every time he cultivated again, he would have a new understanding of the Supreme Moral Sword.
It was because of this strange cultivation method that Qi Tian Chan had completely mastered the Supreme Moral Sword. But after ten reincarnations, he still couldn't find the way to break through to the thirteenth level.
Qi Tianchan was also helpless about this. No one understood the Taishang Dao of Morality better than him, even if all the previous grandmasters of the Emei Sect were added up. But he had reached the end of the road. No matter what he tried, it was a dead end.
This kind of no progress was very hopeless for a cultivator.
Qi Tianchan could clearly feel that there was a higher level ahead, but he could only look at it from afar and couldn't reach it. This kind of helplessness made him feel defeated.
But he had been practicing for ten reincarnations in order to break through the dead end.
Qi Tianchan was terrifyingly tough. He knew it was a dead end, but he was still willing to stay on the Golden Peak to comprehend swordsmanship.
In the pure sword light, he could feel extremely calm.
The red sun rose from the east as usual. Under the first rays of the morning sun, the golden light of the Golden Peak was also a bit more gentle and colorful.
Every time Qi Tian Chan saw the rising sun, he would sigh at the endless power of the red sun. At this moment, he could truly feel how insignificant he was.
No matter how powerful the divine sword was, it could not touch the red sun. Hence, Yuan Guo Divine Lord was nothing. Compared to this world, it was just a speck of dust.
At this moment, the sword heart of the Heaven's Equal Cicada became clearer and clearer. Using the red sun as a yardstick, he had a clearer understanding of heaven and earth, as well as his own position and weight.
"Compared to the heavens, the earth, the sun, and the moon, cultivators are just a speck of dust."
A man's voice suddenly came to Qi Tian Chan's ears, saying exactly what he was thinking.
That voice was clear and rich, extremely charming. Qi Tian Chan was sure that he had never heard this voice before. What was even more frightening was that this person had actually read his thoughts and had unknowingly come to his side.
Even with his cultivation, he did not sense anything amiss.
Qi Tian Chan flicked his sleeves, turned around, and found out that a man had appeared behind him.
This man was wearing a jade white Daoist robe, with a high bun and long sleeves. His facial features were deep and meaningful, and he stood there as elegant as an immortal.
The pure and powerful Golden Peak sword aura did not seem to have any effect on him.
"Gao Zhengyang?"
Qi Tian Chan hesitated for a moment, and immediately recognized the other party. He had seen Gao Zhengyang's appearance in Li Yunfang's soul memory. Although the other party's clothing was slightly different, his aura and demeanor were too unique.
"Yes."
Gao Zhengyang smiled and said casually, "Please don't mind my sudden visit."
Qi Tian Chan was speechless. How did Gao Zhengyang dare to come to Golden Peak of Emei? How did he sneak in without a sound?
Qi Tian Chan thought for a while, but he could not find any answer. He did not know what to say.
Gao Zhengyang looked at Qi Tian Chan's stunned expression and said with amusement, "You really look like a middle school student who can't answer a question."
Qi Tian Chan could tell that this was not a good thing, and his expression darkened, "How dare you come to Golden Peak of Emei!"
"You were not looking for me, so I came."
Gao Zhengyang said, "So, what do you want? Tell me."
"You must die for killing the people of Emei Sword Sect."
Qi Tian Chan could also see that Gao Zhengyang was not in a good condition, but he was not afraid.
This was Golden Peak of Emei Tianxiu Peak, and he could control the power of the entire Emei Sword Array, and he could also borrow the sword aura left by the ancestors.
Gao Zhengyang did have some skills to be able to sneak into Golden Peak of Emei. But no matter who it was, if they dared to fight him at Golden Peak of Emei, they would definitely die.
Qi Tian Chan quickly calmed down. Although this body was only a few hundred years old, his mind had experienced ten reincarnations, and he was strong enough to handle any changes.
"I have to admire your guts to dare to sneak into Golden Peak of Emei."
Qi Tian Chan said, "For hundreds of thousands of years, you are the first outsider to enter Golden Peak of Emei. Just this alone is something you should be proud of. "
Gao Zhengyang glanced at Golden Peak of Emei, and said with a bit of boredom, "There is nothing here, just a name."
"Hehehe …"
Qi Tian Chan sneered, but he was too lazy to refute.
There was only the purest sword aura on Golden Peak. Of course, there was no scenery.
Gao Zhengyang said again, "I am most annoyed by this kind of false advertising, saying that there is a scenic spot, but when you go there, it is just a ditch."
He asked Qi Tian Chan, "You are called Golden Peak, may I ask where the gold is?"
Qi Tian Chan's face was cold, he would not answer such a stupid question.
"What is Golden Peak without gold?"
Gao Zhengyang was very disdainful, he asked Qi Tian Chan again, "You are Qi Tian Chan, where is Tian Chan?"
"You are very boring." Qi Tian Chan could not stand it anymore, the guy in front of him looked like an immortal, but his words did not match up, it was like he was crazy.
To be more precise, he was extremely stupid.
Gao Zhengyang suddenly laughed, "I am joking, I know why you are called Qi Tian Chan, and I also know why you have reincarnated ten times. The Heavenly Cicada shed its shell, died and was reborn. This Divine Power is very powerful! "
Qi Tian Chan's face changed color, he was able to reincarnate because of the Heavenly Cicada Nine Transformations.
In his first life, Qi Tian Chan was a Heavenly Cicada, he followed the Emei Ancestral Master and learned the Heavenly Cicada Nine Transformations.
In his second life, he was reborn as a human and joined the Emei Ancestral Master. With the memories and experience from his previous life, he quickly stood out and became the disciple of the Emei Ancestral Master.
Qi Tian Chan cultivated all the way and finally achieved the Primordial Fruit. But he found that he could not move forward no matter what he did.
He used the Heavenly Cicada Nine Transformations to reincarnate again. He reincarnated ten times and became what he was now.
The other Overlords of Emei only knew that he had reincarnated ten times, but they did not know that he used the Heavenly Cicada Nine Transformations. This divine ability sought life in the midst of death. Every time one died, it would complete a transformation and become stronger.
This Divine Power was not without its drawbacks, if he did not complete the transformation, he would really die.
Qi Tian Chan dared to reincarnate ten times, his courage and ability were not ordinary.
However, the laws of this world were too powerful, the Heavenly Cicada Nine Transformations could only strengthen his body, it was not enough for him to break through to the Primordial Fruit level.
The Heavenly Cicada Nine Transformations was Qi Tian Chan's biggest secret, it was also the foundation of his power. No one else knew about it.
Gao Zhengyang's words had pointed out his greatest secret. How could he not be shocked?
"The Heavenly Cicada Nine Transformations is very interesting."
Gao Zhengyang said politely, "If you give me your Divine Power, I will not make things difficult for you."
Qi Tian Chan's face darkened. Other than the slight setback in his first life, his subsequent reincarnations had always been smooth sailing.
This had also fostered Heaven Equal Cicada's arrogant personality. Of course, he knew that there were many experts in the world, but he did not think that anyone was stronger than him.
However, the Three Thousand Immortal Sects did not compete with the power of a Divine Lord, but the overall strength of the entire sect. He could not break through the Primordial Fruit limit, so he could not suppress others.
Although Qi Tian Chan claimed to be the world's number one, he would not advertise it everywhere, let alone challenge other experts. He knew very well that the Mixed Essence Realm had its own rules, no matter how powerful he was, he could not change this general trend.
However, Gao Zhengyang did not care about him and wanted him to give up his Divine Power, which made Qi Tian Chan very angry.
"Who do you think you are, how dare you talk nonsense in front of me."
Qi Tian Chan could not bear to talk anymore, he held a sword art in his hand, and endless golden light gathered on Mount Emei Golden Peak with Gao Zhengyang as the center.
The sword light was like thousands of divine swords, slashing at Gao Zhengyang from all directions. Even Primordial Fruit Divine Lords would not be able to block it.
What surprised Qi Tian Chan was that Gao Zhengyang did not activate his divine weapon to protect himself, nor did he cast any Dharma spells, nor did he dodge.
The golden sword light landed on Gao Zhengyang's body like a tidal wave, and it immediately collapsed and dissipated silently.
This was not an illusion. Qi Tian Chan could clearly feel that the golden peak sword light was being consumed less.
"What's going on …"
Qi Tian Chan did not have the foresight of Dao Lord Taishang, nor did he have the wisdom of Dao Lord Taishang.
After the shock, he immediately activated the Supreme Dao Sword.
The Supreme Dao Sword was a divine sword that was personally taught by Dao Lord Taishang, and it was also one of the top ten divine swords in this realm.
The Supreme Dao Sword was not known for its sharpness, but for its gentleness. Although it was called a sword, it was actually a sword formed by the sacred rule of virtue.
This sword educated people with supreme virtue and taught all living beings. It was the sword of a Sage.
Qi Tian Chan was not very compatible with this sword. He did not like to teach all living beings, but the Supreme Dao Sword's law of virtue had endless power of humanity.
As the supreme law of humanity, the Supreme Dao Sword could protect the mind the best. Qi Tian Chan's ten reincarnations were so smooth because of the protection of the Supreme Dao Sword.
Qi Tian Chan had cultivated the Supreme Dao Sword for ten reincarnations. Even if it was not very compatible, he had completely mastered all the transformations of the Supreme Dao Sword.
Once the Supreme Dao Sword was activated, it turned into countless golden characters. These characters formed the law of virtue.
"Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, Three begets all things …"
"Heaven, Earth, Master …"
"Dao is the ancestor of all laws, virtue is the door of all laws …"
An old man formed by golden light softly chanted these supreme laws of virtue in the sky. This old man was clearly one person, but it sounded like millions of people were chanting together.
Countless voices overlapped, but it was not messy. Instead, the levels were clear, and each sentence was abnormally clear.
"Not bad."
Gao Zhengyang also nodded. As expected of Dao Lord Taishang's personal disciple, this Supreme Dao Sword was a bit interesting.
As a sword, it did not hurt people with its sharp edge. Instead, it turned into the law of the Great Dao and taught all living beings.
This kind of education actually did not cause any substantial harm to ordinary people. It would only cleanse the soul and let people understand the truth and repent.
For cultivators below the Golden Core Realm, it would not cause much harm. Only those stubborn cultivators who refused to agree with these principles would be bound by the golden characters of virtue.
However, for cultivators above the Golden Core Realm, the Supreme Dao Sword was powerful.
Cultivators above the Golden Core Realm would definitely have their own ideals, their own persistence, and their own understanding of the Dao.
However, the Supreme Dao Sword did not care about these. As long as you agreed with these principles and obeyed the sword master, you would be safe. If there was a trace of resistance, the Supreme Dao Sword could activate the moral law and forcefully restrain and transform the cultivator.
The stronger the cultivator, the firmer their beliefs, the stronger the power of the Supreme Dao Sword.
Even Yuan Guo Divine Lord would feel extremely uncomfortable when facing the Supreme Dao Sword. Because they were all the law of the Great Dao, they were closely related to the human law of this world.
If one did not agree with these principles, they would be rejected by the human law. Even Yuan Guo Divine Lords could not resist such a powerful force.
If one agreed with these principles, they would be bound by Qi Tian Chan. This did not mean that they would have to obey Qi Tian Chan, but they would be controlled by him to a certain extent.
For example, if Qi Tian Chan asked the other party to give up resisting, the other party would not be able to disobey. This was very terrifying.
However, the upper-tier immortal sects all had divine weapons. Although the Supreme Dao Sword was powerful, others had divine weapons to resist it.
Qi Tian Chan knew that Gao Zhengyang came from the Heart Sword Sect, so what divine weapons could he have? He did not believe that the other party could resist the restraint of the Supreme Dao Sword.
The Supreme Dao Sword could not kill people directly, but as long as it locked Gao Zhengyang, it would be easy to kill him.
Gao Zhengyang had dominated the world and killed countless people. Naturally, he would not agree with these principles of humanity.
The golden characters were formed by the supreme principles, like thousands of golden chains, locking Gao Zhengyang within.
Qi Tian Chan saw that Gao Zhengyang was locked, and he could not help but laugh. "Ignorant demon, how dare you be arrogant in front of me. Kneel, now … "
The Supreme Dao Sword resonated with the human law, such power was not something any level thirteen cultivator could resist. Gao Zhengyang did not have a divine weapon of the same level, so he could only kneel and accept his death.
Qi Tian Chan was very confident about this, but to his surprise, Gao Zhengyang stood there firmly and did not move.
The supreme principles piled up on Gao Zhengyang's body had already piled up like a mountain.
In the endless golden light, Gao Zhengyang should have been drowned by the golden light. But for some reason, in Qi Tian Chan's eyes, Gao Zhengyang's image became clearer.
Especially his deep and cold eyes, no matter how the golden light shone, it could not illuminate the depth in his eyes.
"Do you know, the truth is often nonsense."
Gao Zhengyang said slowly, "Just like how people are hungry without eating, this kind of nonsense is the truth."
As Gao Zhengyang spoke calmly, the human dao principles formed by the golden light collapsed.
The Supreme Dao Sword let out a mournful cry, turned into golden light, and returned to its scabbard.
Qi Tian Chan was stunned. It was not strange that he could block the Supreme Dao Sword, but what was strange was that Gao Zhengyang did not use the divine weapon at all, nor did he use his essence force. It seemed that he had only said a few words, and the Supreme Dao Sword had collapsed.
"This is not how morality is played."
Gao Zhengyang lectured, "Morality should be a big stick, beat whoever is dissatisfied. After beating, think of reasoning. What's the use of reasoning! "
Qi Tian Chan was about to speak, but he suddenly felt something was wrong.
A purple-red copper monkey jumped out of the void and smashed down with a huge cudgel. The copper monkey roared, "Eat my cudgel!"
This stick was extremely powerful, and Qi Tian Chan immediately realized that he could not block this stick. But this stick was not only powerful, it also covered the world.
Qi Tian Chan's sea of consciousness was occupied by this stick.
He knew that he could not escape, and with a silent roar, three pairs of translucent golden wings stretched out from his back.
The golden wings were as long as swords, and the three pairs of golden wings vibrated together. In an instant, thousands of sword lights were shot out.
The Supreme Dao Sword was only Qi Tian Chan's defensive sword, and these three pairs of golden cicada swords were his killing weapons.
The golden cicada wings were left behind by Qi Tian Chan's main body. He had reincarnated ten times, and each time he reincarnated, they were constantly strengthened to become like this.
In terms of sharpness, the Heavenly Cicada Sword could be said to be the best in the world. What was even more amazing was that the Heavenly Cicada Sword could be as light as a feather, and it could explode with extreme speed.
Even a thirteenth stage Essence Fruit Divine Lord would have to rely on speed and power in a real battle. For example, Old Sun's power was extremely great. That was why Qi Tian Chan could not dodge.
The Heavenly Cicada Sword was extremely fast. It slashed thousands of times in an instant, and each sword light accurately hit the same spot on the copper stick.
With a loud bang, the incomparably tough copper cudgel actually broke apart, and the tip of the cudgel was blasted into nothingness by the sword light.
With the copper rod broken, Old Sun's earth-shattering strike also missed.
Qi Tian Chan ignored Old Sun. He could see that Old Sun's body was hard, and not ordinary. Even though the Heavenly Cicada Sword was sharp, it could not cut Old Sun's body.
Even if it killed Old Sun, it might not be able to kill him. This guy was not a living creature. He was very difficult to deal with.
If he had the power, he might as well kill Gao Zhengyang and get rid of the culprit.
The three pairs of golden sword wings on Qi Tian Chan's body flapped, and he had already arrived behind Gao Zhengyang. He relied on the speed of the sword wings, which was very different from Divine Powers and Dharma Spells.
Old Sun didn't even realize that Qi Tian Chan had run away, and he was still swinging the broken stick at him.
Qi Tian Chan had already activated the Heavenly Cicada Sword Wings and slashed at Gao Zhengyang. As long as his opponent didn't have a special protective Divine Artifact, he would be turned into ashes in an instant.
The Heavenly Cicada Sword Wings had already reached the limit of this realm, and Gao Zhengyang couldn't dodge it. In an instant, he was slashed dozens of times by Qi Tian Chan.
However, the sword wings couldn't break Gao Zhengyang's skin, and they didn't even leave a mark.
Shocked, Qi Tian Chan was about to activate the Heavenly Cicada Sword Wings to escape. At the same time, a beam of blood light was imprinted between Qi Tian Chan's eyebrows.
Although the Heavenly Cicada Sword Wings was extremely fast, the beam of blood light wasn't slow either.
Qi Tian Chan realized that something was wrong, and he wanted to activate the Heavenly Cicada Sword Wings to block it, but the cold and fierce beam of blood light had already penetrated his forehead.
