"It is not just the speed at which your true essence circulates, your moves are also wondrous and untraceable …" Looking at Nie Jingshen, the Heaven Emperor pondered for a moment before asking, "Earlier heaven eternal and strengthened by vitality, your opponent is actually unable to dispel your moves?"
Therefore, it was like an unstoppable mountain toppling over.
Those who faced this sword-intent were like piled eggs as they could only helplessly watch themselves being crushed by the mountain.
The majestic, sharp Jade Illusory Heaven Opening Sword was forcibly unleashed in an incomparably domineering manner by Nie Jingshen.
Earlier heaven inextinguishable, presiding over the entire universe.
Nie Jingshen said calmly, "This Nie is naturally not invincible."
Those who were stronger than him to a certain extent, surpassing a certain limit, might still be able to defeat Nie Jingshen in a head-on clash.
Still, the Heaven Emperor was clearly not included in this.
Many people were not present, even if their cultivation bases were higher than Nie Jingshen's.
The Heaven Emperor gazed at Nie Jingshen, "Your comprehension of the Jade Illusory Heaven Opening Sword far surpasses that of your fellow disciples. Let alone the profundities within, you even have your own unique understanding that is not limited to what the Sword Sovereign has imparted to you. Combining it with your unique Earlier Heaven Nascent Form, you have walked a path that belongs to you alone."
"It is not just talent. Even your comprehension ability is extraordinary such that you are able to unleash your talent to the fullest."
"No wonder, no wonder … Northwest Lian's words that year indeed meant that you had already surpassed Southwest Bai back then!"
When Nie Jingshen had been a mid Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, he had once sparred with the Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin.
If it had been a life and death battle, the outcome would have been unknown.
Still, after the battle, the Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin had said.
Of the Sword Sovereign's lineage, Jingshen was number one.
As these words spread, everyone had different understandings of them.
Some thought that Nie Jingshen's potential was the greatest, and his future accomplishments would be the greatest.
Still, with the Heaven Emperor's cultivation base and discernment ability, after personally clashing with Nie Jingshen today, he could be certain.
That was actually Lian Zulin admitting that she was no match for him!
If Nie Jingshen had fought to the death then, he would have already surpassed her and the Southwestern Exalt Bai Tao!
"Not a disciple of the Sword Sovereign, nor a disciple of the Sword God …" The Heaven Emperor looked at Nie Jingshen with a complicated gaze. "This poor Daoist will say something disrespectful to His Majesty the Sword Sovereign, but I'm afraid that your future achievements will surpass his."
"You have walked your own path, and your future achievements will not be lower than the Exalted Gold Luminary's at the very least. If you don't die young, as your cultivation base grows higher and higher, and this sword dao that belongs to you becomes more and more complete and profound, your future …"
"Heaven Emperor overpraises me, this Nie doesn't dare to accept it." Nie Jingshen stood in the air, holding his sword horizontally across his chest as he calmly looked at the Heaven Emperor.
The Heaven Emperor shook his head, "This humble Daoist believes that His Majesty the Sword Sovereign will have the same judgement."
With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that although Nie Jingshen was going all out against him, he had not reached the point where his life was at stake.
This was a young man who became stronger the stronger he was, and the more he fought, the braver he became.
Of course, as a Martial Sage, he could not fight a True Immortal to the death.
When Immortals descended into the mortal realm, they would definitely be invincible.
The Heaven Emperor naturally had divine abilities that allowed him to casually form a formation. Still, after exchanging a few blows with Nie Jingshen, he gave up on trapping him with a formation.
He had come here to attempt to retrieve the Later Earth Text.
If he focused on controlling the formation, he might be able to trap Nie Jingshen for a longer period of time. Still, he would not have the time to retrieve the Later Earth Text.
If he did not focus on controlling the formation, it would be like when he had battled with the Female Emperor Jie Mingkong previously. Nie Jingshen would be able to charge out of the grand formation in an instant, and the Heaven Emperor would not be able to retrieve the Later Earth Text in such a short amount of time.
While Nie Jingshen would not be able to harm him, with Nie Jingshen's interference, he would also be dreaming if he wanted to retrieve the Later Earth Text.
The situation fell into a stalemate for a time.
"Kunlun's God Shocking Dragon … you live up to your reputation." The Heaven Emperor let out a long sigh as his gaze completely calmed down. Still, he was not in a hurry to make a move as he just stood silently within the air.
Seeing this, Nie Jingshen raised his brows slightly.
"While I made an agreement with someone that it would be either Yan Di or you to tie down Broad Creed Mountain's people or Broad Creed Mountain's helpers, this humble Daoist will definitely not obstruct Southern Nie from leaving just like this," The Heaven Emperor said mildly.
Nie Jingshen raised his brows, "What are you trying to say, Heaven Emperor?"
"You should have long since heard of that black-clothed Fu Jinxiu who went to the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion." The Heaven Emperor smiled, "Still, you might not know this. The Earth Exalt has personally brought the Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram out of Qilin Cliff."
"Originally, he was prepared to intercept you. Still, this humble Daoist understands what he is thinking by letting you go. It is just that he hopes to have a greater chance of success on his side."
The white-clothed Brocade Emperor and the Female Emperor were both unable to make a move.
Even if the Heaven Emperor was unable to fight one against two, as long as Nie Jingshen did not possess the Origin Opening Sword, he would not be in any danger.
The Heaven Emperor said slowly, "While it was by chance that Yan Di was not at Broad Creed Mountain, the Earth Exalt was still able to intercept him. At the end of the day, it was merely the four of us exchanging opponents."
"Meanwhile, that Snow Crane will not be able to escape this tribulation at the end of the day. At the end of the day, her cultivation base is still a little low in our eyes."
Nie Jingshen gazed coldly at the Heaven Emperor, "Your target is senior apprentice-uncle Yan's wife?"
"That is the Earth Exalt's target, not this humble Daoist's," The Heaven Emperor said calmly.
His target was naturally the Later Earth Text.
Just like how Wang Zhengcheng had watched as Nie Jingshen went to reinforce the southeast, the Heaven Emperor did not mind Nie Jingshen going to save Xue Chuqing.
The black-clothed Brocade Emperor had intercepted Yan Zhaoge without retreating because he wanted to make use of this chance to analyse Yan Zhaoge's Taiyi Fist.
The Heaven Emperor had nothing to ask of Nie Jingshen.
The Heaven Emperor would be extremely happy for Nie Jingshen to leave this place to save Xue Chuqing. With no one obstructing him, he would have sufficient time to retrieve the Later Earth Text.
"That is why this humble Daoist said earlier that if Southern Nie wants to leave, this humble Daoist will definitely not obstruct you." The Heaven Emperor stood amidst space, "It is true that the Yan father and son possess outstanding strength. Still, this humble Daoist should warn you again."
"Upper Chen is currently observing. It is not that there is no possibility of him making a move."
With that, the Heaven Emperor spoke no more as he just stood there calmly.
While he was unable to do anything to Nie Jingshen, Nie Jingshen was unable to do anything to him as well.
Hearing the Heaven Emperor's words, Nie Jingshen was unmoved as he said slowly, "Qilin Cliff has the Yin Yang Earth Mountain River Diagram while my Jade Capital Crag also has the Origin Opening Sword."
"At the end of the day, the Royal Reed Sea is still much further away from Jade Capital Crag than Yuanzhou City's Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion." The Heaven Emperor was silent for a moment before he said, "I believe that the disciples of your lineage will not be prejudiced against one another at a time like this. After all, Yan Zhaoge and his son can be considered half a fellow disciple of yours."
Nie Jingshen suddenly laughed, "Heaven Emperor, you seem to have misunderstood. When I came to the southeast, I also sent a message back asking senior apprentice-brother not to give me the sword."
The Heaven Emperor's gaze hardened slightly.
"If the Origin Opening Sword is not given to me, junior apprentice-brother Yan and senior apprentice-uncle Yan would not have to worry about them as it would be convenient for them to save others. Also, I would not have to choose between helping them save others or guarding the treasure," Nie Jingshen pointed his sword at the Heaven Emperor, "Even without the Origin Opening Sword, it is already sufficient for me to be here."
The Heaven Emperor knit his brows, "You are so confident in the Yan father and son …"
"It would be very difficult," Nie Jingshen said mildly.
