Chapter 19: Enemies Across the Land [Seeking Monthly Tickets]
At the age of fifty-one, the ancient site of the "Black Abyss" appeared. You went to explore it, but encountered a mutated ferocious beast and had to retreat.
At the age of fifty-two, you joined forces with Grandmaster Tang Bai and Qin Jianmei to explore the "Black Abyss".
You each obtained an ancient token in the Black Abyss, which opened an ancient palace where you acquired ancient martial arts techniques.
You have obtained the "Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Technique".
Tang Bai obtained the "Five Tigers Soul-Severing Blade".
Qin Jianmei obtained the "Sword Control Technique".
……
You spent eight years in seclusion, comprehending the "Cold Fiend Palm" from the "Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Technique".
After nine years of seclusion, you have gained profound insights into the universe and nature, achieving a level of perception that is incredibly subtle. You have entered the Grandmaster realm and created your own unique skill: Frostbite Transformation, Sealing Heaven and Earth.
A year later, you created the seventh move of the Snowdrift Sword Technique: Sword flowers fall like rain!
Eighth move: Sword energy traverses thirty thousand miles!
Ninth Form: A Sword Sweeps Snow and Seals the Vast Ocean!
……
After you reached the Grandmaster realm, you made no further breakthroughs and gradually grew old.
In order to break free from constraints and seek the pinnacle of martial arts, you have made numerous trips to the "Black Abyss" in search of opportunities.
Unfortunately, the 'Black Abyss' ancient temple has disappeared without a trace.
The ancient temple of the 'Black Abyss', which had disappeared for sixty years, will reappear when you are 179 years old.
You went to explore again, but found nothing and encountered strange creatures, suffering serious injuries.
At the age of 189, with endless regrets, you finally passed away, leaving behind a legacy of life.
……
Within his sea of consciousness, Yang Jiuli's mind slowly withdrew from the life of 'Yang Xiangru'.
In the world evolved from the Three Lives Stone, Yang Xiangru lived for 189 years, but outside it was only a moment.
When he regained his composure, Yang Jiuli sighed and said that life is unpredictable and that humans are insignificant.
If one cannot live forever, even if one stands at the pinnacle of the world and is revered by all, one will eventually turn into dust.
All past glories will become historical clouds, disappearing into the long river of time.
As such, Yang Jiuli's pursuit of immortality became even more resolute.
In addition, Yang Jiuli's memories contained many more insights into martial arts and cultivation experiences.
Such as:
The Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Technique
Cold Jade Fingers
Cold Fiend Palm
First Form: Frostbite Forms into a Divine Force
……
Ninth Form: Frost Demon Transforms, Sealing Heaven and Earth!
……
The First Form of the Snowdrift Sword Technique: Frosty Leaves Sway in the Autumn Wind
……
Ninth Form: A Sword Sweeps Snow and Seals the Vast Ocean!
Yang Jiuli's previous many questions about these martial arts techniques suddenly became clear.
This is the benefit of the "Past Life Talisman".
Once the talisman is activated, he can observe the recipient's entire life and empathize with them, as if he himself had lived a lifetime.
In his previous life, Yang Jiuli had this experience, through which he obtained many cultivation techniques and secret arts.
Of course, he has not yet mastered the Cold Fiend True Qi, so he cannot use many of his unique skills and techniques.
If one were to utilize the spirit of the ancestor 'Yang Xiangru,' then all of his abilities could be fully unleashed.
"So my ancestor was also so accomplished in swordsmanship!" Yang Jiuli murmured after digesting his many insights.
He felt more confident.
At that moment, Yang Jiuli's eyes flickered as he looked towards the training ground ahead.
There was fog in the drill ground.
Outsiders couldn't see the scene clearly at all.
But Yang Jiuli's divine sense was able to perceive even the smallest details.
At this moment, Wei Wuji moved with lightning speed, attacking Yang Xuan, Tang Yuan, and Qin Shisan with sword strikes.
He's too fast.
This led people to believe that there were more than a dozen Wei Wujis making a move.
In reality, it was because Wei Wuji's perception became extremely keen after entering the Grandmaster realm, reaching a state of harmony between man and nature.
Wind speed was not a hindrance to him.
He can also take advantage of the situation and use the power of the wind to maximize his speed.
Faced with this offensive, Yang Xuan and his two companions were overwhelmed, and within a single breath, they had several more wounds on their bodies.
Clang!
Wei Wuji swept his sword horizontally, the sword energy crisscrossing, sweeping towards Qin Shisan.
Qin Shisan parried with his sword, but the sword energy struck his Autumn Water Sword, causing his wrist to tremble.
The Autumn Water Sword fell off.
Qin Shisan's body was sent flying backward by the impact of the sword energy, and he spat out blood.
A Grandmaster's strength reaches ten thousand jin; even a mere impact is enough to reverse a Grandmaster's blood and qi, and damage their internal organs.
After knocking Qin Shisan away with a single sword strike, Wei Wuji pressed forward.
He transformed into a rainbow of swords, his Purple Cloud Sword piercing towards Qin Shisan's heart.
Just then, a chill suddenly churned within the purple mist.
But then a tall, imposing man appeared out of thin air and slammed his palm into the ground.
"The Frostfire Takes Form... Sealing Heaven and Earth!"
The cold air on the ground churned and condensed into icicles as thick as three feet.
These ice spikes rose abruptly from the ground, piercing towards Wei Wuji, whose figure was like a rainbow as he attacked.
Wei Wuji was extremely perceptive. He immediately changed his sword stance, paused in mid-air, and swung his sword to shatter the ice spikes in front of him.
After shattering the first ice spike, he flicked his longsword, using the momentum to leap into the air and avoid the attack of the second ice spike.
After flying into the air, Wei Wuji swept his long sword down, the sword energy crisscrossing, shattering all the other ice spikes.
After doing all this, Wei Wuji turned his gaze and looked down.
"Sword, come..." At this moment, in the training ground below, 'Yang Xiangru' made a move out of thin air.
Qin Shisan's 'Autumn Water Sword,' which had just left his hand and hadn't even hit the ground yet, flashed and flew into 'Yang Xiangru's' right palm.
Just now, Yang Xiangru used his ultimate skill, "Cold Fiend Transformation," to attack Wei Wuji, all within the blink of an eye.
Qin Shisan managed to regain his footing at that moment.
"My sword..." Qin Shisan's eyes flickered, and he saw his 'Autumn Water Sword' fly sixteen feet away.
There was one more person in the purple mist there.
That person was like a sun shining brightly, standing out conspicuously in the purple mist.
All of this is because 'Yang Xiangru' is a heroic spirit, formed from condensed energy, and his body radiates a glow.
"What a fine sword!" Yang Xiangru praised inwardly, holding the Autumn Water Sword, before his gaze locked onto Wei Wuji in the air.
The first move of the Snowdrift Sword Technique: Frost Sweeps Autumn Leaves.
Yang Xiangru leaped into the air, his feet touching the ground, and swung his Autumn Water Sword horizontally towards Wei Wuji.
The sword swept away the burst of cold air, transforming it into a fan-shaped sword aura that swept across the area.
Wherever the sword energy reached, frost condensed in the air, and the drifting purple mist turned into solidified frost crystals.
Wei Wuji quickly brandished his sword and unleashed the first move of the Seven Swords of Purple Clouds: "Sword Qi Long Song, Purple Qi Comes from the East".
brush!
A purple sword aura, like a vast river, surged towards the fan-shaped sword aura in front.
boom!
The two clashed, unleashing a vast surge of sword energy in the air.
In that instant, Yang Xiangru leaped into the air and unleashed another move of the Snowdrift Sword Technique.
Seventh move: Sword flowers fall like rain!
With a flick of her Autumn Water Sword, Yang Xiangru unleashed a burst of icy energy that transformed into frost flowers in the air.
With a flick of his sword, the frost flowers, carrying a chilling sword aura, hurtled towards Wei Wuji.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Frosty sword flowers filled the sky.
There were hundreds upon hundreds of them, like a rain of swords falling on Wei Wuji.
This is the Grandmaster-level sword technique that Yang Xiangru comprehended after entering the Grandmaster realm.
A rain of swords fell, along with icy sword energy that seemed to freeze the very air.
Wei Wuji shivered. He channeled a surge of powerful Purple Cloud True Qi into the sword from his palm and flicked the sword.
He unleashed the "Wind Sweeps Away the Clouds" move from the Seven Swords of Purple Clouds.
Instantly, purple sword energy surged forth, transforming into a whirlwind of sword energy that swept towards the countless sword frost and ice flowers in front of them.
The purple sword energy raged violently, shattering the sword frost and ice flowers, yet many sword flowers still broke through the sword energy whirlwind and rushed towards Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji dodged the attack with a swift movement, narrowly avoiding the sword frost and ice flower.
Just then, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and a powerful icy sword aura surged towards him like a river of swords.
This sword strike seemed to have anticipated Wei Wuji's dodge direction and was executed in advance, leaving him with no way to avoid it.
The chill swept over him, causing ice crystals to gather between his brows.
However, Yang Jiuli, relying on his powerful divine sense, sensed Wei Wuji's subtle movements and predicted his evasive direction. Thus, in the guise of 'Yang Xiangru,' he unleashed the eighth move of the Snowdrift Sword Technique: Sword Qi Spanning Thirty Thousand Miles.
"Not good..." Wei Wuji felt a chill in his heart and immediately swung his sword to defend himself.
boom!
The river of sword energy struck Wei Wuji's sword, sending it flying more than ten meters away.
The icy true energy seeped into his meridians, causing icy crystals to appear on Wei Wuji's palm as he gripped the sword.
His body stiffened slightly.
"This is a Grandmaster!" Wei Wuji said solemnly, looking at Yang Xiangru in front of him.
"How can there be Grandmasters in the martial arts world of the Great Wei?" A great wave of emotion surged within him.
