As the Universe Turns - Chapter 498
Chapter 498 Who And The Struggle
There were four famous swords in Cangfeng Valley. They were “Jing Zhe”, “Gu Yu”, “Han Du”, and “Frost Descend”. Among them, Jing Zhe was the most powerful, so he was the head of the four famous swords and was forged by the second generation Valley Master of Cangfeng Valley.
Frost was cast by the third generation of Valley Masters, Cold Dew was cast by the tenth generation of Valley Masters, and Grain Rain was cast by the seventeenth and nineteenth generation of Valley Masters more than 600 years ago.
The two generations of Valley Masters were named Feng Xuanzhi. They were respectfully called “Cangfeng Valley” by the disciples of Grand Patriarch. Originally, they were the seventeenth generation Valley Masters. Later, he passed on the position of Valley Master to the eighteenth generation Valley Master. How could he have expected that the eighteenth generation Valley Master would die because of this? Helplessly, he had no choice but to become the nineteenth generation Valley Master.
More than 600 years ago, after Feng Xuanzhi passed the position of Valley Master to Liu Xuanyin, he had completely retreated into seclusion. For more than 600 years, he had never appeared again. Whether he was alive or dead, or whether he had ascended to the Nine Heavens, no one knew.
Back then, Liu Xuanyin was still very young, and his cultivation was also shallow. He was simply unable to control a divine sword like Gu Yu. Now that six hundred years had passed, how could he be back then?
“Zheng!”
With a sword cry, the entire sword suddenly slashed towards Xiao Chen. Before the sword arrived, the sword qi was already extremely powerful. Even those disciples standing far away felt their breathing stifled. Only then did they suddenly realize that the cultivation of the Valley Master had actually reached the Soul Formation stage!
In the distance, Ling Xuanzi was also secretly shocked. He never thought that Liu Xuanyin would hide his cultivation and become a god!
But looking at the shocking power of the sword, it was almost impossible for Xiao Chen to forcefully receive it with both of his hands. Moreover, he did not have a divine sword like Gu Yu in his hand, so how could he resist its sharpness?
As the sword Qi approached, he waved his hands and instantly circulated the cultivation technique from the remnant of the Heavenly Book. Within a radius of ten kilometers, the wind and clouds immediately surged. The swords in the hands of all the Cangfeng Valley disciples in the square began to tremble uncontrollably at this moment. In the end, they all escaped from their hands and flew towards Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chen waved his palms, and the celestial swords that filled the sky immediately gathered together to form a huge sword. With a “boom”, the entire square violently trembled, and it actually blocked Liu Xuanyin’s Gu Yu Sword.
“This …”
Everyone found it hard to believe that he could actually block the Valley Master’s sword in such a manner. At this moment, the two of them were unable to face each other. Could it be that he had already transformed into a spirit?
Thinking of this, everyone in Cangfeng Valley felt as if they had fallen into that icy cold pool. They could only feel the chill coming from their entire bodies. Ten years, only ten years. How could this be possible …
Liu Xuanyin was also shocked. How could it be … He had been hiding it all along, but why was this person in front of him … Could it be that this kid also had the cultivation of Soul Formation? It’s only been ten years, how is that possible …
In the distance, Ling Xuanzi was even more stunned. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe it? How many years had it been? Even if his cultivation base had increased by leaps and bounds, how could this brat have already transformed into a spirit? Isn’t it too fantastic …
Of course, Xiao Chen hadn’t truly transformed into a spirit yet. He had only comprehended it during his sixty years in the Forbidden Land of Heart Demons. He was still a step away from becoming a true spirit.
Because he had cultivated the remnants of the Book of Heaven, his strength was extremely profound. In addition, he had comprehended the Undying Concept. Most importantly, it was the sixty years in the Heart Demon Forbidden Land. Therefore, these so-called Soul Formation cultivators, such as Thunderbolt Violet Lightning and Undying Bones, were no longer his opponents.
At this moment, a strong wind blew through the entire plaza, causing the branches outside to shake and scatter. Many disciples could no longer withstand the sword qi and retreated into the distance. If it wasn’t for the extremely strong defensive formation inside Cangfeng Valley, the buildings around the plaza would have long since disappeared under the sword qi.
Liu Xuanyin had never expected that Xiao Yichen’s current cultivation had actually become so high that it completely exceeded his expectations. Now that he was unable to ride a tiger, he had no choice but to forcefully support the Gu Yu Sword. However, under the opponent’s fierce sword qi, his Gu Yu Sword had actually lost its radiance bit by bit.
“How could this be …”
All the disciples in the distance were shocked. The Valley Master had already reached the Divine Transformation Realm, and Gu Yu Sword was still in his hands. Could it be that he was unable to defeat that person like this? How is this possible …
Even though the crowd didn’t want to believe what they saw, Liu Xuanyin had indeed reached his limit. At this moment, cracks had begun to appear on the ground beneath his feet, and his footsteps were beginning to move backwards.
He was sweating profusely. He really couldn’t imagine why Xiao Yichen’s cultivation was so profound. This was not only a cultivation realm, but also an absolutely profound cultivation. This child must have learned a powerful internal cultivation technique!
Looking at Xiao Chen again, his gaze was still cold. He raised his left hand slightly and controlled the flying sword that filled the sky. His sleeve was calm and composed, as if he hadn’t even used half of his strength.
When Liu Xuanyin raised his head, his heart trembled even more when he saw his current expression of ease. He was almost in despair. Suddenly, he remembered that he had attacked Xuan Qing and this person during the Hua Weiyang trial. Could it be that he still hoped that the other party would show mercy now?
“Hand over the person behind you …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold and his voice was ice-cold. He could temporarily ignore what happened back then until he found out who the culprit was. However, two years ago, Liu Xuanyang led his men into the Butterfly Valley, causing Shen Jing to suffer for two years. He would not let this person go.
If there was something wrong with Wei Yang, he would be able to forbid this person’s soul from being burned in his heart forever, making it taste the pain of irreplaceable reincarnation, and it would also be difficult for him to dispel the hatred in his heart.
Everyone in the Hidden Edge Valley felt their hearts tremble when they saw his resolute attitude. Especially Liu Xuanyang. At this moment, it was more like he had fallen into an icy cold pool. He was intimidated by the other party’s aura and didn’t dare to move.
The cold sweat on Liu Xuanyin’s face became more and more intense. Anyone could tell that Xiao Yichen had almost used his full strength. However, the crowd had never expected that Xiao Yichen’s cultivation was so profound that even the Valley Master, who had already reached the Soul Formation stage, was no match for him. Thinking about it, they felt a chill run down their spines.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, the veins on Liu Xuanyin’s forehead burst open. With a loud shout, the Gu Yu Sword instantly flourished with a scarlet light, as if it was his last pounce. The sword qi surged horizontally, stifling one’s breathing. However, even so, it was still difficult to block Xiao Chen’s sword swarm of hundreds of swords.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s gaze turned cold. With a swipe of his finger, the swords covered the sky and covered the earth. With a “boom”, the Gu Yu Sword was pushed back. Liu Xuanyin also felt as if he had been heavily injured. His face turned pale and he flew backwards uncontrollably.
“Form the Nine Heavenly Sword Formation!”
Liu Xuanyang’s face flashed with shock as he quickly stepped forward to support Liu Xuanyin. The surrounding disciples immediately formed a sword formation upon hearing his order.
There were many disciples in the Hidden Edge Valley. Apart from nearly a thousand disciples in the plaza, a large number of people gathered from afar and quickly formed a sword formation to resist Xiao Chen.
“Big brother … how are you?”
Liu Xuanyang’s face was filled with shock as he tightly supported Liu Xuanyin. Liu Xuanyin stroked his chest and quickly stabilized his zhenqi.
At this moment, his face was still pale, and he looked at the man walking step by step in the plaza with horror. It was truly unimaginable that the Xuan Qing disciple ten years ago had such a high cultivation level today, and even his Soul Formation Realm was no longer his match.
