CHAPTER 357: CHAPTER 54: BENEATH THE IMMORTAL SWORD

Heaven-Sundering Sword strikes, shattering the darkness, revealing dawn once more.

"Asking Path Sword Soul..." Emperor Haili and the Nether Hall Saintess retreated, and Emperor Haili suddenly understood. This Ling Yue Sword Immortal’s sword contained an Asking Path-level sword soul!!

Moreover, the sword soul’s mastery over space was even stronger than his own!

This sword embodied the ultimate mysteries of space. Even though Emperor Haili wanted to stop it, it merely grazed him and failed to be successful.

Every cultivator has their own unique path. Emperor Haili mainly cultivates the power of the soul, capable of abandoning his physical body for cultivation, while the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor hasn’t achieved the Asking Path due to the direction of her cultivated power.

The Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor specializes in the Path of Space, a power so formidable that she left significant achievements during the Divinity Transformation Stage. Without entering the Void Profound, she used her sword to cleave the sky, and combined with her sword dao, she was considered the strongest in combat among her peers.

The night breaks... Emperor Haili glances at the scratches on his arm and then coldly at Lin Jing and the Mechanical Turtle who were teleported away.

"You deserve death."

Emperor Haili’s anger surged, yet at this moment, there was someone on the verge of tears.

Elder Leilong saw the lady only teleport Lin Jing and Gao Sheng away, leaving him and the nine diligent Thunder Dragon prodigies behind, almost crying aloud.

No, little girl, do you really intend to fight the Asking Path? You’re merely at the Nascent Soul stage!

The nine Thunder Dragon prodigies also had their heads tingling, wondering who they are, where they are, and what they’re supposed to do next?

"Elder Leilong, please lend me your strength to guard the array," Feng Ning spoke up, mainly because the Heaven-Sundering Sword consumed a lot of energy, unable to teleport everyone, so she could only first send away key figures Lin Jing and the Mechanical Turtle.

As long as the Mechanical Turtle was teleported away, she felt Emperor Haili wouldn’t bother them too much.

"Master, please lend me your strength too." She grasped the Quasi-Immortal Sword, wherein her master’s sword soul slumbered... Also, she felt that if she managed to buy enough time, Lin Jing might have a strategy.

......

Meanwhile.

Celestial Sword Sect.

The sky suddenly tore open with an enormous sword scar.

In an instant, the gaze of the numerous elders and disciples of Celestial Sword Sect sharply turned towards the sky.

"What is this...???"

The Celestial Sword Sect Leader, also a Void Profound Sword Cultivator, although not as astoundingly brilliant as the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, was renowned across the continent. His eyes burned as he looked at the two figures falling from the sword scar...

"Lin Jing, Gao Sheng???"

As the two figures appeared, the most stunned among Celestial Sword Sect was a Golden Core Sword Cultivator, utterly bewildered as to why his two old classmates appeared in the sky above Celestial Sword Sect!

This person was none other than Yuan Jing from the Academy Dragon Palace among Hidden Dragon Academy.

"The Heaven-Sundering Sword... So there’s such a sword move..." As they fell onto the sacred ground of Celestial Sword Sect, Lin Jing’s mind spun with dizziness. This move, shouldn’t be complete yet.

He could vaguely guess the complete effect of the Heaven-Sundering Sword; the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor likely aimed to create a powerful space sword move capable of slicing open space and teleporting herself or anyone to distant locations.

However, it was currently far from mature, only able to teleport lifeforms excluding herself to designated places.

But even so, it’s quite formidable. After all, the spatial teleportation treasure Yin Corpse Sect offered back in the day only had a similar effect.

"Gao Family’s Gao Sheng..."

"Demon Court Saint Child?"

Lin Jing and Gao Sheng had barely landed when they were surrounded by a sword array composed of hundreds of sword cultivators. Leading them was the Celestial Sword Sect Leader, a middle-aged sword cultivator, handsome and dashing in white, his eyes scrutinizing the pair, recognizing their identities.

"Why did you appear here? Give me an explanation."

He clearly did not know about the Heaven-Sundering Sword.

Lin Jing glanced at the Celestial Sword Sect Leader, slightly cupping his fists.

"Senior, the situation is special. Next, please allow him to provide explanations, do not disturb me."

He spoke and then looked at the silver celestial sword reaching into the clouds within Celestial Sword Sect’s sacred ground, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

This silver celestial sword is the Immortal Sword passed down through Celestial Sword Sect from ancient times to now.

It has stood steadfast at the center of Celestial Sword Sect, the sect’s symbolic sword.

Though no one has been able to wield it till now, it is undoubtedly the faith of all Celestial Sword Sect sword cultivators. Every disciple’s ultimate aspiration is to surpass all predecessors, draw this sword, and become the strongest sword cultivator.

Ling Yue Sword Immortal used the Heaven-Sundering Sword to teleport them to Celestial Sword Sect, naturally, Lin Jing could not sit by and watch her face the enemy alone.

Even possessing "Sword Nourishing Technique" passed down by the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, allowing Feng Ning to temporarily inherit all her elder’s sword dao realm, but this is nonetheless inherited, while Emperor Haili is a monster who stayed in the Asking Path stage for thousands of years, truly unable to ensure her safety.

Currently, with rumors of the Second Ancient Emperor, Demon Emperor, Martial Emperor, Buddha Lord severely injured, probably no one can rapidly support her, leaving Lin Jing himself to aid Ling Yue Sword Immortal.

"Ling Yue Sword Immortal teleported me to Celestial Sword Sect likely because she didn’t want me to completely burn my lifespan fighting against Emperor Haili..."

"Though I might instantly advance to the Asking Path, afterwards, I wouldn’t have more than a few minutes to live."

"Her meaning must be..."

"To see if I can wield the Mechanical Turtle, activate Celestial Sword Sect’s Immortal Sword, and use its might to deter Emperor Haili..."

"A clever woman."

Lin Jing sat for cultivation, intending to see if he could use "Divine Manipulation Techniques" to control the dormant Mechanical Turtle and then use it as a medium to control the Immortal Sword.

"Using the Divinity Transformation Stage as a base and expending certain lifespan while using the Divine Techniques ’Divine Manipulation Techniques,’ perhaps it’s truly possible to command this weakened Mechanical Turtle."

He embraced the Mechanical Turtle, isolating all external interference, while Gao Sheng could only face Celestial Sword Sect’s group of sword cultivators alone, swallowing a dry gulp.

"No need, no need for so many people."

"Sect Leader Senior, first let everyone disperse; I’ll slowly explain to you."

"At the last Celestial Essence Grand Assembly, my old man even offered you tea. We’re not bad people..." He looked towards the Celestial Sword Sect Leader who also wore a gloomy expression.

......

Beyond Heaven.

Realm Wall.

Once they set the training scenarios for their prodigies, numerous Asking Paths refocused on maintaining the realm wall.

Though the crack by the Celestial Demon Sect was fabricated by them, given the Sect’s capabilities, it’s not impossible, so they must continue to reinforce the realm wall to prevent such events from occurring.

"Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor... Is she slacking off, only leaving a clone to strengthen the realm wall."

"What kind of training scenario did she design for the disciples that warrant her physical presence..."

Curious investigators didn’t have to wait long before strong battle waves reached outside the realm.

The battle of Asking Path...

The strong were shocked, diverting their attention to look, and with one glance, their jaws dropped. Damn, the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor actually transformed into a sword soul for her disciple to battle against an Asking Demon Cultivator.

"She’s insane." That’s indeed too much. Is this truly just a disciple? Rarely have biological daughters had such treatment! Besides, it’s Emperor Haili, that skeleton frame doesn’t seem like someone who’d play pretend. Could it be an actual fight?
