Chapter 199 Dealing with the Four Swords of Zhuxian
Inside the clean room of Wuzhuang Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, his body radiating Daoist energy, with the Xuanhuang Qi and five-colored divine light intertwining, faintly showing signs of the creation and destruction of chaos.
During his seclusion, he not only fully recovered from the depletion he suffered in the battle between the Dao and the Demon, but his magical power also became even more refined and profound.
I have gained a deeper understanding of the "Earth Chaos Scripture," especially its characteristics of evolving chaos and encompassing all laws after the Five Elements are perfected.
His realm as a late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal was completely stable, and he even faintly touched the threshold of the next level.
After adjusting to his peak condition, Zhen Yuanzi did not rush to leave seclusion. Instead, he focused his mind on the "Zhu Xian Sword" within his body, which was sealed layer by layer by the innate five elements array.
Although the sword was suppressed, it still exuded an unruly and destructive aura, and countless demonic souls seemed to be roaring within the chaotic color of the sword.
However, Zhen Yuanzi keenly sensed that as Luo Zhan made the demonic oath, his own Dao fruit collapsed as a sacrifice, and he was then guided away from the prehistoric world by the Great Dao.
The once unbreakable connection between the Immortal Execution Sword and its original owner has become as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
Luo's "Dao" has shifted to the more macroscopic "Demonic Dao," which is imprinted with the rules of the primordial world. The specific Zhuxian Sword has become a "tool" that he can discard.
"It's time."
With a thought, Zhen Yuanzi caused the illusory image of the Five Innate Banners floating in his sea of consciousness to suddenly shine brightly!
The five divine lights—blue, red, yellow, white, and black—were like five chains of divine order, piercing the core of the Immortal Execution Sword!
"Buzz—!"
The Zhuxian Sword trembled violently, emitting a mournful cry of despair, attempting a final act of resistance.
That remaining trace of Luo's destructive mark was contained within the purest and most righteous power of the Five Elements.
And under the grinding of that implicit, all-encompassing chaos, it melts and disintegrates rapidly, like snow meeting the sun.
In just a moment, a faint, crisp sound, like the breaking of some kind of shackle, came from inside the sword.
The next moment, the chaotic sword light suddenly exploded, splitting into four terrifying sword intents that were completely different yet originated from the same source!
A jet-black sword, radiating ultimate destructive power, was the Immortal Execution Sword!
A crimson sword, as red as blood, containing endless killing intent, is the Immortal Slayer Sword!
A hazy, dark aura stirs up resentment that devours hope—this is the Immortal-Trapping Sword!
A deathly white light, filled with the intent of ending and freezing, appeared – this was the Immortal-Slaying Sword!
The Four Swords of Zhuxian have reappeared in the world!
At this moment, however, they have lost Luo's control over their demonic thoughts and are like ownerless things. Although they are still menacing, they have lost some of their agility and their destructive killing intent.
Zhen Yuanzi looked at the four fierce swords that were floating in his sea of consciousness and temporarily bound by the five-colored divine light, but there was no greed in his eyes.
His way lies in the earth, in inclusiveness, in evolution—an extreme instrument born specifically for killing and destruction.
If it is not in line with his Dao heart, forcibly refining it will not only be counterproductive, but may also pollute his own path of cultivation, resulting in more harm than good.
"The material is indeed top-notch, containing innate killing power—unfortunately, it has taken an unorthodox approach."
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head slightly, having already made up his mind.
He did not attempt to refine any of them. Instead, he drew upon the power of the Earth Book, and a thick stream of primordial yellow energy swept over, transforming into four sturdy sealing talismans, which were imprinted on the blades of the four swords to temporarily suppress their malevolent energy.
Then, with a thought, he directly moved the sealed Four Swords of Zhuxian into the vast space inside the Earth Book.
It was stored together with those innate spiritual materials that were being nurtured and the rare and precious treasures that had been collected.
"When Hongjun returns the Qiankun Cauldron, its ability to return to its origin and refine all things may allow him to melt these four swords together."
The best course of action is to extract the essence, discard the dross, and refine it again to create something more suitable for me, or a weapon for suppressing destiny, or a foundation for array formations.
Zhen Yuanzi planned the future use of the famous Four Swords of Zhuxian, then stopped paying attention and focused his mind.
With everything completed, Zhen Yuanzi stood up, his aura perfectly harmonious and flawless.
With one step, he left the meditation room and appeared in the main hall of Wuzhuang Temple.
The Red Cloud Ancestor, who had already sensed his emergence from seclusion, was leisurely sipping tea in the hall. Upon seeing him come out, he put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Judging from your inner divine light and natural Daoist charm, fellow Daoist, you have gained quite a lot from this seclusion."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded with a smile: "I have gained some insights. It is you who have worked hard, fellow Daoist, to manage the affairs of the temple while I was in seclusion."
"It's just my duty, nothing to mention," Hongyun waved his hand, then asked, "What are your plans next, fellow Daoist?"
Zhen Yuanzi's expression turned serious, his gaze seemingly piercing through the palace and looking towards the desolate land in the west. He said in a deep voice, "Luo detonated the western ley lines, causing widespread death and the severing of spiritual energy. This is a huge cause and effect, and also a severe blow to the origin of the primordial land."
As the wielder of the Earth Book, inheriting the Way of the Earth, I have an inescapable responsibility to repair the Western ley lines. Moreover,
He paused, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes, "This action will also accumulate immeasurable merit, stabilize the fortune of my Longevity Mountain lineage, deepen my understanding of the Way of the Earth, and even—"
Perhaps this opportunity can be used to further communicate with and strengthen the power of that dormant tunnel.
Upon hearing this, Hongyun's expression also became solemn. He knew all too well what a massive undertaking it was to repair the main veins of a great world, but he also understood the opportunities and responsibilities involved.
Without hesitation, he said, "This is a great act of kindness! Since you have such a heart, how can I stand aside?"
I will certainly accompany you and do my utmost. My Fiery Cloud Cave can also be mobilized to help you channel the earth's fire and stabilize the energy.
"With the help of fellow Daoists, the chances of this succeeding are much greater."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded with pleasure, and then with a slight thought, his voice spread like ripples throughout the core area of Longevity Mountain: "Emperor, Zhenwu, the Four Divine Beasts, Qilin, and Moyu Qilin, come to the main hall immediately."
In just a few breaths, powerful auras gathered outside the main hall.
Leading the group were the Emperor, who, after transforming into human form, possessed a majestic and imposing presence, exuding the aura of a royal dragon, and Zhenwu, who was calm, dignified, and imbued with the Daoist charm of Xuanwu.
Subsequently, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, the divine beasts of the West, manifested their true forms, majestic and sacred;
The bloodline descendants left by the original Qilin, the Qilin with auspicious energy all over its body, and its companion, the Black Jade Qilin with scales like black jade, also stood respectfully to one side.
In addition, there were his subordinates, including the Nine-Headed Spirit Saint, who had originally followed Zhen Yuanzi, and others at the Daluo and Taiyi realms. They gathered together, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"Greetings, Master! Congratulations on your completion of seclusion, Master!" The crowd bowed in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall.
Zhen Yuanzi's gaze swept over his increasingly powerful force, and he was satisfied.
He raised his hand in a gesture of support and said, "No need for formalities. I have summoned you here today because there is an important matter concerning the future of the primordial world and closely related to the lineage of my Longevity Mountain, which requires your assistance."
He paused, then his voice clearly reached everyone's ears: "Before Demon Ancestor Luo fled, he went mad and detonated the western earth veins, causing billions of miles of mountains and rivers in the west to shatter, their spiritual energy to be cut off, and turning them into a dead land."
"As the wielder of the Earth Book, blessed by the land, I cannot bear to see the Earth Mother Goddess suffer such a grievous wound. For the sake of all living beings, I have resolved to journey westward to repair the earth's veins and recreate the universe!"
