CHAPTER 1347: CHAPTER 114: WARM WINE (PART 3)

"I am invincible at Yumen Pass."

In truth, it can only be at Yumen.

Abandoning one’s path to becoming a Sword Immortal, and being forever trapped in a city, just to exchange for a power comparable to a Sword Immortal’s—is this worth it?

For most Sword Cultivators, they would definitely think it is worth it, and would be willing to make the exchange—of course, even if they were willing to exchange, they couldn’t.

To achieve this, it requires a sky-high level of cultivation to modify the Ancestral Daoist Great Formation.

It also requires unparalleled formation expertise to reconstruct the Ancestral Daoist Great Formation and refine one’s Life-bound Sword as the formation’s core.

Within the Human Race, only Yu Canghai meets these two conditions.

Yu Canghai, undoubtedly the foremost in sword formations.

Yu Canghai can achieve this.

But for a Sword Cultivator like him, who truly has hope of glimpsing the realm of Sword Immortals, exchanging his path to Sword Immortality for the power of the Long Wind Formation is an option he would never choose.

However, in the current situation, Yu Canghai has no choice; he must use the power of the Long Wind Formation to defeat the top-tier Demon Lords of the Demon Race.

Of course, this method is not without a way back, not without room for regret.

Just as couples, even after forming a family, can choose to divorce, though it requires some price.

The principles are similar.

The more Yu Canghai uses the power of the Long Wind Formation, the stronger his bond with it becomes, making it harder to "divorce."

Therefore, for Yu Canghai’s path to Sword Immortality, Xue Wujian cannot sit idly by while Yu Canghai continues to battle using the power of the Long Wind Formation.

He must intervene.

"But, apart from this method..." Yu Canghai began to speak.

Before he could finish, Xue Wujian interrupted, "Although everyone says you, Yu Canghai, are the second in the Sword Sect, don’t underestimate us Peak Masters for that reason."

Xue Wujian took another step forward, bypassing Yu Canghai, and stood in front of him.

He raised his head and said to Ming Venerable, "This battle, let me take it."

Ming Venerable was taken aback, then chuckled softly, "It doesn’t matter to me who among you comes; it makes little difference."

"However, in my eyes, his sword formation still poses a great threat and might defeat me. And you?" Ming Venerable’s implication was clear, not belittling Xue Wujian, just speaking the truth.

As a rule, a top-tier Demon Lord should be overwhelming against an Eighth Realm Sword Cultivator.

Yu Canghai is an exception.

But is it possible for there to be two such exceptions?

"Just one pass, if I can’t defeat you in one pass, consider it my loss." Xue Wujian calmly replied, looking at Ming Venerable.

"Hmm?!" Ming Venerable was slightly stunned, frowning.

Others were even more shocked, a clamor arose.

Demonic Cultivators had never seen such an arrogant Eighth Realm Sword Cultivator, openly claiming to overcome their top-tier Demon Lords, not to mention boasting of winning in one pass.

Even the Human Cultivators at Yumen Pass doubted their ears, unable to believe it.

......

This side.

"Are you confident?" Yu Canghai asked softly.

Xue Wujian smiled faintly.

"You know me."

He suddenly brought out a wine cup, then took out a crimson Spirit Fruit and gently squeezed it.

The Spirit Fruit immediately transformed into a red liquid akin to amber, pouring down. The transparent, dazzling liquid was slightly viscous, yet exuded a delightful fragrance.

Not too much, not too little; the liquid from the Spirit Fruit nearly filled the wine cup, leaving just a sliver of space at the edge.

This is a peculiar fruit called Dragon Tongue Fruit, produced in extremely limited quantities. With a single squeeze, it releases a beautifully colored Spiritual Liquid—Dragon Saliva.

Dragon Saliva is rich in Spiritual Energy and has an extraordinarily exquisite taste.

Additionally, Dragon Saliva has one more characteristic: it must be consumed within twenty breaths.

Because Dragon Saliva can only exist for up to twenty breaths before dispersing into Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Energy.

These factors combined make Dragon Tongue Fruit one of the most precious Spirit Fruits in the Cultivation World, only seen on rare occasions when major sects host important guests.

Xue Wujian brought the cup full of Dragon Saliva to Yu Canghai and handed it to him.

Then he waved his hand, and his form leapt forth.

As his figure floated, a similarly floating voice sounded.

"The Dragon Saliva is for now poured, Wujian shall return shortly!"
