The vast South Sea was turbulent. It was hurricane season, and even the usually calm South Sea had lost its usual warmth, revealing the true nature of the ocean.
On a reef, a Daoist sat cross-legged, allowing the wind and waves to hit him. However, it was as if he was a reef, soldered to the reef, not moving at all!
He had been in Green Sky Sect for four years and had never been dissatisfied. He had always wanted to go back to the sect's birthplace, but he didn't expect to return for such a reason!
He felt that the sect was making a mountain out of a molehill! Even if a Swordsman who had just formed his Gold Core had succeeded in stabbing a sword into the Fifth Ring, what did that mean to someone of Jin Dan's level?
It didn't mean anything!
Jin Dan and Foundation Establishment were two different concepts!
Although cultivation was also very important to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, there was a limit to the amount of Dharmic power a Foundation Establishment cultivator could hold. Therefore, some explosive Dao teachings and special methods could often achieve miraculous results. However, Jin Dan was different!
The difference in Dharmic power between a peak late-stage Jin Dan cultivator and an early-stage Jin Dan cultivator could be dozens of times! This also meant that it could form a terrifying Dharmic pressure! Continuous instant spells without any regard for cost!
He had also heard the personal experiences of his senior and junior brothers who had fought with this sword cultivator. No matter how many times they said it, he felt that this was a stagnant mindset and a regression of courage!
He couldn't be too direct in front of Gentle Breeze and the others, so he could only use his actions to show them what a true Dharmic cultivator was!
Times had changed, and battles between Dharmic cultivators were no longer a battle of attrition. This concept was very popular in the Fifth Ring, but in Green Sky, everything was still slow and needed stimulation!
He was one of the top Fifth Ring Jin Dan cultivators, but he was specially sent back to deal with a newly formed Jin Dan cultivator who had formed his Gold Core less than a hundred years ago. This made him unhappy, even if Green Sky was a place he had always wanted to come back and experience.
He was very clear about the sect's purpose in making such arrangements! For tens of thousands of years, the Dharmic Lineage had been on guard against the elites of the Sword Vein! They spared no effort in surrounding and intercepting them! Other than the fact that he didn't dare to use an upper realm cultivator to do it himself, he would never let go of any other opportunity!
Since this cigarette butt was able to stab a sword into the fish's leap and was able to dominate the internal and external sword during the Foundation Establishment stage, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a genius among geniuses! Even if he was just an Outer Sword, and his future prospects were far inferior to the Inner Sword, and his future potential was hard to predict, this still did not stop the Law Branch from being vigilant from the bottom of their hearts!
Thus, the Three Pure Ones had to use the most orthodox method and send the strongest cultivator allowed by the rules. This was the inevitable choice of the Three Pure Ones. He, who was ranked third on the Jin Dan Rankings, was fortunate enough to receive this mission. His goal was very clear: defeat him fair and square and kill him!
This was the reason why he was here. He didn't try to hide it at all and placed everything on the table!
Killing one beast a year! On the special day of the fifth day of the third month!
His purpose was not hard to guess. The first time he killed a beast, he might not be able to attract the attention of Mount Yi, but after the second or third time, he would spread the message without any words. This kind of message would be clear and unmistakable. Not to mention Xuanyuan, even those small and medium-sized schools in the Northern Region would be able to make the correct judgment.
This kind of provocation could be tolerated by small forces, but Xuanyuan could not! In the tens of thousands of years of the Sword Vein's history, there had never been a Swordsman who could endure such provocation!
It was you, Lou Xiaoyi, who handled the South Sea matter! Since it had started, there must be an end! This was the conclusion he came to after careful consideration!
When the Law Branch retaliated against the Sword Vein, the most difficult thing to do was to not be able to catch the culprit, let alone the war between cultivators! The Sword Vein's habit was to suddenly run out after a period of hibernation and stab the culprit a few times before disappearing without a trace. To put it nicely, it was called the Traceless Sword.
Therefore, it was actually very difficult for him to find the Swordsman's traces in the Blue Sky Realm. Only the Jinma Peninsula at that time was left behind by the Swordsman, which was also the most important tail left behind!
Whether the Swordsman would come or not, he did not consider this question! If the Swordsman did not come, he would kill one beast a year in the South Sea for fun. He wanted to see how Mount Yi would swallow this anger!
Attract a Great Demon? That was just a coincidence! After killing a Nascent Soul a few months ago, the sect behind him had already started to pressure the Sea Race in the deep sea!
Moreover, he did not mind these kings of the Sea Race as long as they did not attack him together. If they came one after another, it would be a form of training for him!
The entire plan was open and aboveboard. For this reason, the Three Pure Ones even willingly gave up the Chronicle Temple, the largest and most important stronghold in the Northern Region. In fact, they had no choice but to do so. If something really happened to Lou Xiaoyi, the Chronicle Temple would not be able to escape!
His current position was about two thousand miles away from the Jinma Peninsula coastline. It was just outside the boundary of the territorial sea, but it was still within the boundary of the shallow sea. The South Sea of the Northern Region was a little special. The seabed was gentle and there was a full three thousand miles of seabed outside the continental shelf. This kind of terrain was just right for him to use as the Swordsman's battlefield!
To be able to be ranked third in the Five-Ring Jin Dan, Qing Xuan naturally had his own strengths. Even if he did not really take his opponent seriously, he was still meticulous and considered every detail to the extreme!
Of course, the only thing he did not consider when choosing the location of the battle was whether it would be beneficial to him. This was his pride and also where his Dao heart lay!
His strength would not change because of the change of environment, whether it was the sea, the mountains, or the desert …
In the sky above his head, even if the hurricane was in full swing, there was still a clear and turbid Qi! It pierced through the clouds! This was the most famous of the Three Pure Orthodoxies, the Two Signs of Purity and Turbidity. It was thousands of feet high and could be seen from afar!
This was the vision of his Natal Cultivation Technique. In fact, it was also a guide. The meaning was very clear: I am here, waiting for you to come and fight me!
In the four years since he came to Qing Kong, he had always been in such a state. With an unimaginable concentration, he was at sea and enjoyed himself. The cultivation of his state of mind had already reached a certain level.
Today was the fifth day of the third month! If no one came, he would randomly find a Jin Dan sea beast in the shallow sea and kill it to show his attitude!
As he waited, he suddenly stopped when he was about to turn around and search for the sea beasts. The thousands of feet high Qi of Purity and Turbidity was like a giant radar. Although it was very obvious, it could clearly detect the changes of Qi within a thousand miles!
Just like how his Qi of Purity and Turbidity was eye-catching, a sword gleam swept across the sky without any concealment!
Qing Xuan let out a long breath. His old rival for tens of thousands of years was finally here!
Although he did not hate the sea, to a cultivator who had been cultivating in the celestial mountains for four years, smelling the fishy smell of seafood was still not a pleasant process.
His mind shook and the Qi of Purity and Turbidity became even more vigorous. Vaguely, the hurricane coincidentally appeared around him and seemed to be focusing on where he was standing. It also allowed his senses to expand to every corner that the hurricane swept past!
Under such senses, every move of the Swordsman was vividly displayed in his mind, down to the smallest detail!
This was control! The perfect use of the environment!
It was not control for the sake of control, but control for the sake of killing!
It was control for the sake of offense, control for the initiative!
It was control based on the confidence of his cultivation base!
