At the most crucial moment of their life and death struggle, the Spirit Sword that had been contained in his body for all this while had unexpectedly vanished!
This was something that Ye Que could never have imagined or expected. He had traversed the Three Realms for dozens of years, and had never encountered such a thing before. It was not a conscious mistake.
A figure cut a huge parabola across the air.
Fresh blood spurted like a fountain!
Ye Que could not even begin to understand what happened as he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He bore the pain and focused his attention within his body. The "Chengren" Mother Sword of the 13 Mother and Children of Spring and Autumn Swords had indeed vanished from his Spiritual Sea!
"How could this be?"
"Completely impossible!"
"I've never heard that a Spirit Sword kept within someone's body can vanish on its own. Could it really have left me?"
The Spirit Sword Justice-seeking was taken as if it were a sheep. It was swallowed up by a page of the Divine Book, and then all the connections were cut off directly with Ye Que. In the Spiritual Sea, Ye Que could no longer find a trace of the Justice-seeking Sword, as if the sword itself did not exist. "Incredible!" "Unexpected!" "The Divine Book is the treasure of the heaven and earth which is clam and peaceful, how can it make a devouring of the Spirit Sword? This is completely inconsistent with the temperament of the Divine Book! " If it was not seen with his own eyes, even if you killed him, Ye Que would not believe that his own Spirit Sword would be swallowed up by his own Divine Book, and he couldn't control it at all as a master. Calm down. Throw away the distracting thoughts. What the eye saw was not necessarily the truth. The fact was always hidden in the fog. Y
According to the description in his mind, Ye Que finally knew the truth of the River Soldiers. The River Soldiers was raised by the innocent souls of the Luo River in the past ten million years. It was born in the battle of the Human Race and the Demon Race against the monsters. The River Soldiers was divided into two parts from the birth, and the infinite resentment turned into the River of the River Soldiers and controlled people's mind. The boundless fighting strength turned into the Soldier of the River Soldiers and was responsible for the fighting. In general, the River could be regarded as the tool soul of the Divine Tool, the Soldier could be regarded as the body of the Divine Tool. What had been hidden in the page of the Divine Book was the body of the Divine Tool River Soldiers. The River Soldiers, which was invincible in the battle of ten million years ago, could break any swords and blades, and had eate
The original 'monster' naturally did not know how to admit defeat. They would fight to the death under any circumstances. However, after hundreds of years of forbearance, the monsters that had slowly adjusted their life with the Human World had begun to change quietly. They had not only learned admitting defeat, surrendering, swindling, stealing and playing tricks, but also learned how to be a good person, and how to be a decent master. Only when they truly became a part of the Human World could they completely hide in the Human World, and the seeds of the 'monster' would be buried deep in the soil, only to wait for the Lord to come again. The Lord of the monsters would revive and regain the world. It was not surprising that the thin, old man, who had processed the body of Lei Sihai for more than a decade, naturally, had equipped with some traits and habits that Lei Sihai once had. It was not strange for him to admit defeat when he lost in t
The true name of the man whose arms had been cut off by Ye Que was Yan Se. He left the Mountain Valley of Pure Blackness and went to the Human World when he was seventeen. He had done numerous evils and killed lots of people since then. The fear he had seen was more than he could remember. Anyway, in his impression, the disciples of the Cultivation World were mostly pure and honest, and few of them were cruel. Today, however, Yan Se suddenly found out how ridiculous his previous thoughts were. That he had always encountered pure and honest practitioners was because of his good luck. In the Cultivation World, there was also the existence of fierce and cruel, just like Ye Que in front of him. In a short time, Ye Que had let him know what was better to die than live, and what was called purgatory in the Human World. Compared with Ye Que, what he had done before was like a child playing games. Yan Se could not imagine how a young man that was gr
"350,000 people are all dead?" "Impossible!" "How could so many people die in just three days? That's 350,000 people, not just 35 people!" Before Yan Se spoke, Ye Que and Red Bean had mentally prepared themselves. This was a devil, after all. It was certain to cause tremendous destruction once it made its move. However, tried as they did, they couldn't have imagined 350,000 soldiers would die in You Prefecture in just three days. Even if each person were to kneel for the monster to hack, it would still take it a very long time to do so. "Are you telling the truth?" Ye Que yelled furiously while kicking Yan Se to the ground. "I said nothing but the truth." Yan Se, who collapsed on the ground, had his head against the sky. Seeing the shivering old man on the ground, Ye Que believed that he wasn't lying. Moreover, there was no need to deceive him with something like this. He would only be bringing himse
The Red Spider Lily was also known as the gentleness of the devil. Legend had it that it was a flower that voluntarily threw itself into hell and allowed itself to be dispatched by numerous devils. Bodhisattva, unable to bear seeing it drifting along the road to hell, agreed to let her blossom on both sides of the Reincarnation Bridge. She was to serve as a comfort for the souls leaving the Human World and guide them. She also became known as the "greeting flowers" that bloomed along the banks of the River of Three Crossings. This flower, which bloomed only in hell, could awaken the memories of the departed souls. It was the only scenery along the road to the Reincarnation Bridge in hell. Red Bean recognized this flower. It was described in her clan's records as such: "Bloody Curse of the Red Spider Lily is an absolute curse that members of the Devil Race would make alongside their oath. If one breaks his oath, the bloody curse would break o
Without a guide, outsiders could easily find themselves lost on the complex network of winding snowy paths of Mount Mei. Otherwise, the soldiers who escaped from the city of You Prefecture wouldn't have chosen to flee through this path. However, Ye Que walked in an incredibly assured manner. He didn't even have to stop at forks in the roads to think. Even though the letter was showing the way, his confidence was nonetheless strange. Red Bean, who was lying on his back, looked at the increasingly foggy mountain path with anxiety. "Even if we manage to find the souls of those who died so tragically, do you think they'll have a chance at reincarnation? The old men in my clan used to say that souls tainted by Devil Qi wouldn't be able to cross the Reincarnation Bridge and they'll simply fall off." Ye Que sighed. Complex emotions colored his pupils as he replied, "Life and death are ruled by fate; riches and honor are decided by heaven. In life,
Ye Yunhai, as the de jure spiritual leader of the Ye Army, ought to have eaten, lived, and fought alongside the soldiers this time. The unforeseen event happened too swiftly, however. His mother finally told him all the secrets before entering You Prefecture. Even though Xiao Huating was a seed that the Demon Race planted in the General's Manor in Luoyang for twenty years, she was ultimately still a mother. Ye Yunhai was her biological son. The noblest existence in the world was maternal love. Such love could surpass races and beliefs. Xiao Huating couldn't alter the disaster that was about to befall You Prefecture. She was even doing her best to make sure it succeeded. However, she refused to allow her son to come to danger. It was quite the contrary, in fact. She wanted to use this disaster to win a colossal opportunity for him. This went against the interests of the Mountain Valley of Pure Blackness. It also had nothing to do with the Ye
Li Jianqi was a Formless Realm expert who had absorbed the Battle Soul of the Great Founder. Even though she was not well versed in formations, she did not have to be so careful. However, both Uncle Jiao and her walked extremely carefully. The higher the realm, the more a practitioner was able to understand how tough the path to cultivation was, and the more he or she was able to understand that there was always someone more powerful than them out there. Moreover, the formations gave off an obvious prehistoric aura and were evidently not from any technique of the current Cultivation World. As such, neither of them dared to take the formations lightly. They were not in the royal palace. Who knew what sort of offensive capabilities Ye Que had incorporated into these formations? What if they attacked them without differentiating between friend and foe? They were not really worried about dying in the manor, but mostly they were afr
Even Ye Que himself was not entirely sure of the phenomenon, much less Li Jianqi. However, a lack of understanding would not obstruct him from learning. The Divine Book seemed to have grown increasingly amazing. Till now, there were already more than 20000 Divine Sect Seminary disciples, and its name was already known among all of the people at the bottom of society in Luoyang. It did not collect fees nor commission and imparted cultivation methods for free. It took it upon itself to explain one's doubts in cultivation away, and it was not a front. The methods Ye Que taught his disciples really allowed them to sense Nature's Spiritual Qi. It was only natural that something as wonderful as this was passed on by mouth, and more people began joining. No one was able to withstand the temptation of progressing in the world of cultivation once he or she entered it. Naturally, they would join the wild goose chase. As its
Winning the competition held among the troops stationed in Luoyang with a set of saber skills? One had to know that the Southern Encampment did not consist of troops stationed at the border. Even though they underwent much training, their prowess in battle was still somewhat behind the border troops. During the previous competitions of such small groups of a thousand soldiers each, the four encampments were not favorites to win. Ye Que had just allowed 1000 soldiers from the Southern Encampment to win the competition after teaching them a set of saber techniques consisting of only about a dozen moves over three days! It was no wonder that Zhang Yue would find it necessary to report the matter to Li Jianqi. "Is the saber technique related to the Southern Encampment winning the competition?" Li Jianqi asked somewhat suspiciously. There were battle techniques in the army as well. Each encampment had its own recognize
Ye Que remained in the Southern Encampment for three days. Ye Que began to hypothesize on the third day the reason that caused the strange phenomenon within his Spiritual Sea. With the aid of the soldiers, Ye Que was finally able to come to a conclusion. The Divine Sect Seminary disciples and the soldiers had practiced the Mountain-Splitting, Water-ceasing and Heaven-Splitting techniques, and there was no reaction from his Spiritual Sea if there were 100 or less than them. If there were more than 100 of them, however, his Spiritual Sea would begin to froth, but only when seminary disciples who had learned the Divine Sect's cultivation technique were present. It did not react when soldiers from the Southern Encampment practiced the Mountain-Splitting stroke. Also, if the energy and spirits of the disciples were not in sync, and they were training at their own pace, there would not be any reaction from his Spiritual Sea. Four cri
"Lend me a thousand soldiers. I have to test a hypothesis." The figure in red light armor standing in front of the military monument had just stopped releasing more sword energy when Ye Que walked up to her. When she turned to face him, Li Jianqi's aura had reverted back to the youthful and beautiful young woman, completely devoid of the bloodthirsty battle intent she displayed earlier on. As Ye Que thought about it, he believed that it should be the effects of absorbing her ancestor's Battle Soul in the Imperial Mausoleum. "Ye Que?" Li Jianqi exclaimed, somewhat shocked. "You want to borrow a thousand soldiers? For a deduction?" "Stop asking me so many questions. I can't explain all of them right away. Just tell me if you would lend them to me?" Ye Que asked somewhat impatiently. Anyone would also be in a hurry to prove his or her theory correct after experiencing so many amazing things and a way of amplifying the power of one's own cultiva
Three saber strokes were made before the gates of the seminary. Ye Que's Spiritual Sea exploded thrice. Ye Que nearly stumbled off the Bridge of Long Life and looked incredulously at the disciples not far away from him. They had still not noticed him and were still practicing their saber techniques. This was because they had also discovered something amazing. It was common for practitioners to be unable to grasp the essence of their training while practicing saber techniques on their own. Their physical selves, sabers, Spiritual Forces, Spiritual Seas and pathways of their sabers were always in disharmony. Training with thousands of other people, however, would speed things up, causing man and saber to reach a state of harmony very quickly, as if the larger the number of practitioners, the greater the benefits. Some of the practitioners had not realized this fact during the first round of training, but by the third round, even
Xichuan Town was a small ordinary town at the western border of Tang State, but it was renowned far and wide. This was because it was situated at a position that was nearly as far away from each of the six neighboring nations at the western border. During a normal day, cargo and trade flowed in and out of the town, as did merchants and travelers. A teahouse was located at the entrance to the town, and two elders sat at a table near the windows. Both of them had white hair, and a chess set was placed right in front of them. The black and white chess pieces were engaged in a titanic battle, and the moves they made were so complicated that it was hard to tell who would emerge as the victor. The elder on the left of the table pinched up a white chess piece with his fingers. "The Tang State has sent out 30 thousand light cavalries to Western Xia. Looks like they are expecting a quick victory." The other elder at the opposite end of the table laug
Gradually, the sky took on a marble-white color as dawn arrived. Frost and dew gathered on the walls of the palace. Li Chunzhi's brows were decorated with a layer of frost. The Chief Councillor of the Grand Council of Tang State trailed behind him, with the imperial bodyguards staying put a short distance away. Countless cultivators from the Judicature lay in ambush at all corners. Tang State continued to be compromised from all sides. If anything happened to Li Chunzhi, it would be the cherry on top of their misfortune. No one went up to stop him. Neither did they dare to. They could all tell that this soon-to-be Emperor was stewed in worries underneath his expressionless face. At dawn, Li Jianqi draped a white robe over her shoulders and climbed up the tower atop the walls. She stood behind Li Chunzhi and contemplated for some time before saying gently, "Father, you should mind your health. You've stood here for an entire nig
Inside the quiet General's Manor, a black-clothed man was shouting himself hoarse. Ye Que didn't think he would be ambushed on his first official return to the manor or that the assassins would be survivors of the Ye Army. These people must have mistaken him for being a Devil Seed after he used his Sword Qi to bind them. Perhaps the battle in You Prefecture left too deep a trauma in them that they would mistake anyone with supernatural powers as a cultivator, a devil, and the culprit behind their brothers' massacre. "Did all of you run from the city of You Prefecture?" Ye Que had released the bind his Sword Qi placed on them. The group of men remained deeply wary of him even after they were freed. However, they refused to let Ye Que distort the truth out of principle. "I'll repeat this again. We didn't flee from the battle. We broke out of the siege under Chief Wu's orders. We didn't run." The person repeated hims
