The rusty ancient bronze sword slowly stood in front of Gong Buyu, and the water-blocking sky curtain poured down from both sides like a waterfall.
Shen Yuan's calm voice resounded between heaven and earth. Under his command, it seemed as if the entire world was resonating with his will.
Throughout the entire river, everyone could clearly hear Shen Yuan's words, but could not catch any trace of him.
He seemed to be not in this world, yet he seemed to be everywhere.
"Your disciple?"
Mingquan Guixiang looked at the ancient bronze sword with his cloudy eyes, and then something shocking happened.
As a great demon who had lived for three thousand years, Mingquan Guixiang was unable to see through the true nature of the ancient bronze sword.
In his eyes, the ancient bronze sword was just a flying sword of magical weapon grade. It was not even a spiritual treasure. It was just a piece of ordinary iron without any spiritual essence.
But it was such a sword that easily broke his method of controlling water. He immediately determined that the person who attacked was definitely not a cultivator in this world. This was already beyond the means that a person in the Qi training stage should have.
The person behind the attack must be from some blessed land just like him.
"Is there anyone else who dares to bypass the rules of heaven and earth and forcefully attack?"
Such doubts immediately arose in Mingquan Guixiang's heart.
You know, in order for him to leave the Jidu Dragon Palace, the entire Dragon Palace spent a considerable price, and even several precious treasures of the Dragon Palace were consumed because of this.
Even so, the range of his movements and the scope of his attacks were strictly limited to the Ji River.
Once he leaves the Jishui River, the backlash of the rules of heaven and earth will crush him to death without mercy, and even the Jidu Dragon King will not be able to save him.
However, Shen Yuan behind Gong Buyu was able to take action easily and displayed methods that he could not understand, which made Mingquan Guixiang feel a little suspicious.
But it was only some doubts, and the problem at hand would not cause Mingquan Guixiang to back down.
The huge body took a big step forward, causing the rivers to surge, and the ferocious head covered with scales was approaching the iceberg on the platform.
"She killed my descendants, I want her to be buried with me!"
An angry voice came out of Mingquan Turtle's mouth.
On the Xuanhuang Tower, Xuankong, who was watching the battle, heard these words and instantly recalled the Evil Mountain Water God, who was extremely similar to the Mingquan Turtle.
"The descendant he mentioned is the Evil Mountain Water God? The fairy who suppressed the major sects and the strong men of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is the one who took action on the cruise ship?"
Xuankong suddenly realized and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Gong Buyu's silver-white hair was so recognizable that he recognized the moment Gong Buyu made a move that the other person was the one he had seen before boarding the ship that day.
In addition, the scene of Gong Buyu condensing the iceberg with a wave of his hand was very similar to the scene on the cruise ship. Xuankong had already connected Gong Buyu with the mysterious strong man who suppressed the evil Yue Water God on the cruise ship.
However, although the innate Qi that killed the evil Yue Water God that day was powerful, it was far from comparable to the iceberg that he used today to suppress six Qi-training masters holding spiritual treasures by himself.
Whether in terms of size or expressiveness, the two are very different. It is normal that Xuan Kong is not sure for a moment.
But after Mingquan Guixiang spoke, Xuankong no longer had any doubts in his heart.
His face showed an extremely excited expression, but immediately afterwards Xuankong's mind flashed the young man who had reprimanded Gong for not speaking before boarding the ship.
The man in white clothes and carrying a sword has an extraordinary bearing, as if he is an immortal banished to the world, and he is also respected by Gong Buyu.
Combining all kinds of information, a bold idea flashed through Xuankong's mind.
"That young man, is he the master that this fairy mentioned?"
By the time Xuankong had figured out the complete information in his mind, the entire Xuanhuang Tower was already in an uproar.
People from the major sects did not know the origin of Mingquan Turtle, but the aura of this great demon in transformation was not concealed at all.
He transformed into a great demon and disregarded the rules of heaven and earth to forcibly appear in the world, disrupting this Taoist conference, which had already touched the bottom line of all major sects.
Mercilessly scolding emanated from the Xuanhuang Tower.
"How can your Jishui Sect be so arrogant as to raise a thousand-year-old turtle?"
"Although you have seized the inheritance of the Yu Shui Sect and can barely be counted as a sect, isn't it a bit too much to directly move the water creatures from the Ji Du Dragon Palace here?"
"It must have cost Jidu Dragon Palace a lot to allow a great demon to attack outside the blessed land.
I want to see how much wealth the four great ancestral veins have to withstand the waste of the Jidu Dragon Palace!"
"You idiot, do you really think that sending out a great demon can make all parties submit?"
The anger of the major sects is justified.
No matter how everyone acted before, they were all using the power in the real world, and they did not cross the line to forcibly awaken the strong ones in the blessed land.
The first reason is that forcibly awakening the strong men from the cave heaven to come into the world means paying a large amount of precious treasures to fight against the backlash of the rules. The strong men from the cave heaven also have to bear the risk of having their paths cut off. It can be said that the cost is huge, and ordinary things are not worth mobilizing the strong men from the cave heaven.
The second is that the strong men in the blessed land are not just the trump cards of any one family. All the big sects backed by the blessed land have similar foundation. Once a strong man from the blessed land forcibly takes action in the world, it will inevitably drag all the big sects into the stage of competing in foundation.
Today you awaken a real person to destroy my sect, tomorrow I will awaken a real monarch to suppress your sect.
Under the environment of hatred and mutual suspicion of distrust, the entire cultivation world will fall into chaos and all order will be destroyed.
More than 6,000 years ago, after the first period of spiritual energy depletion, the major sects fought openly and secretly, which led to the strong men in the blessed land to attack and destroy the mountain sect.
There was also a paradise behind the mountain gate that was destroyed, but the mountain gate could not be saved.
The bottom line is that it is not an easy thing for practitioners from the blessed land to come down to the world. At least they need to complete several complicated rituals.
The time spent on this was enough for other sects' masters to raze the entire mountain gate to the ground.
Everyone in the entire cultivation world is in danger, and no one can tell whether they will be the next sect to be targeted, and the chain of suspicion continues to spread among the major sects.
However, the strong people in the realm of true people could not stay in the world for a long time to guarantee the safety of the mountain gate. In the end, the chain of suspicion broke out and the major sects used their foundation to fight each other without regard for the consequences. In just a hundred years, more than twenty blessed places collapsed and the Five Directions Cave Heaven fell apart.
In that chaotic war, the once powerful Humanitarian Dynasty went directly into decline, and a large number of sects never recovered from that defeat.
Precisely because of the lessons learned from the chaos that occurred more than 6,000 years ago, all the major sects deeply detest the act of inciting the strong men from the cave heavens and blessed lands to take action during such sect conferences.
The scolding aroused Sun Lanyu's dissatisfaction. He raised his head proudly and scolded the major sects in Xuanhuang Tower:
"Mingquan Guixiang is the great elder of our Jishui Sect. If you have the ability to invite a powerful god-transforming expert, then go ahead and do it! If you don't have the ability, then stop talking nonsense!"
"The leader of today's discussion conference must be from my Jishui Sect. After this matter is over, I will settle accounts with someone in Xuanhuang Tower.
Before that, I hope you will not take any radical actions, so as not to cause dissatisfaction to Mingquan Guixiang."
Sun Lanyu did not hide his naked threat. He no longer cared about the paradise behind the major sects, because he knew that the huge price he paid today was based on finding Luo Yun and retrieving the clues of Jidu Dragon Seal.
Once he fails to get the clue of Jidu Dragon Seal, the first person who will want him dead will be Jidu Dragon Lord.
In today's battle, we are already giving it our all. There is no need to worry about the so-called Da Xia or the sect.
Behind Sun Lanyu, the aquatic creatures, like waves, were riding the water and rushing towards the Xuanhuang Tower. Thousands of aquatic creatures surrounded the Xuanhuang Tower.
All the major sects were furious, but the suppression from Mingquan Turtle Prime and thousands of aquatic creatures left them with little room to resist.
"Asshole!"
"Sun Lanyu, how dare you?"
"After I return to the mountain, I will report to the head teacher and I will make sure your Sun family gives an explanation!"
Sun Lanyu scoffed at the threats from the monks of various major sects.
All the powerful Qi-cultivating masters in the entire Dao Discussion Conference were on that platform. With the support of Mingquan Turtle, Sun Lanyu did not need to be afraid of the monks from the major sects in Xuanhuang Tower.
The only person that Sun Lanyu couldn't figure out was the master that Gong Buyu mentioned.
However, in Sun Lanyu's opinion, the Jishui River is the home turf of the water tribe. No matter how powerful the people behind it are, they will be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth and will not be able to make any waves at all.
The ownerless Xuanhuang Tower trembled and swayed continuously under the waves controlled by the water tribe.
The major sects had not expected that a meeting to discuss Taoism, a grand gathering where the Imperial Observatory and the major cave paradises competed for the right to speak, would turn into the current situation.
For a moment, everyone in the Xuanhuang Tower felt in danger.
Shen Yuan was still standing in front of the windowsill, looking at the giant demon in the distance carrying a mountain on its back, his face expression calm, neither happy nor sad.
The appearance of Mingquan Guixiang, a great demon who had lived for three thousand years, was indeed beyond Shen Yuan's expectations, but everything was still within the controllable range.
During the three thousand years of the spiritual energy depletion period, Mingquan Guixiang huddled in the Jidu Dragon Palace Cave. There was no extra spiritual energy for him to practice, so Mingquan Guixiang's cultivation remained in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. At best, his foundation and magical powers became a little deeper.
He slowly raised his right hand and lightly stroked the air with his index finger. The Huiming Sword, which was several miles away, continued to emit a soft humming sound.
Facing Mingquan Guixiang's angry questioning, Shen Yuan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"Buried with him? Are you worthy enough?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Mingquan Turtle, with anger surging, raised its ferocious giant claws covered with scales from the river and smashed down towards the entire iceberg with a huge pressure that covered the sky and the sun.
The great demon did not hold back at all in his attack, and seemed to want to kill Gong Buyu and the six Qi training realm masters in the iceberg at once.
“Zheng!”
The evil thoughts hidden in the Huiming Sword were aroused in an instant.
Shen Yuan's Yin Spirit escaped into the flying sword, and a dazzling white light flashed between heaven and earth, reaching into the sky, as if the entire sky was torn apart by this sharp sword light that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
In an instant, the huge scales and claws of the great demon were easily cut off. There was no room for resistance between the solid scales and the demon's body. The blood was completely snuffed out by the remaining sword light the moment it fell into the sky, and the huge turtle claws smashed into the cold river water.
This was the first time that Shen Yuan used the method of controlling the sword with his soul in actual combat after he achieved the status of Yin God. The power that could be exerted by the Disha sword technique, which had reached the pinnacle of the first level and was combined with a complete soul, far exceeded Shen Yuan's expectations.
The ordinary method of controlling the sword with the soul is considered an extreme killing move even for sword cultivators in the same Spirit Transformation Realm, not to mention that Shen Yuan was performing the Earthly Evil Sword Technique, which is the source of all sword techniques?
The turtle claws were easily cut off by the sword light, and the remaining silver light continued to cut towards the head of Mingquan Turtle.
Mingquan Turtle's eyes instantly turned red, and a deafening roar rang out from his ferocious mouth:
"The Tide of the Vast Ocean."
The waves on the river surface were continuous, creating huge waves that tried to drag the silver-white sword light into the river.
However, the method of controlling the sword with the soul was originally an extreme offensive technique, and any defense was useless. It easily broke through the thousand-meter wave, and in an instant it was already in front of Mingquan Guixiang.
But at this moment, a cruel smile suddenly appeared on Mingquan Guixiang's ferocious face.
"You've been fooled!"
As he spoke, a golden Dragon Palace decree came out of his mouth.
"Everything belonging to the Jishui River shall obey my orders!"
In an instant, an ancient dragon roar seemed to come from the golden edict of the Dragon Palace, and the entire Ji River suddenly boiled.
Large dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky, blocking out the sunlight. Strong winds suddenly blew, causing huge waves. The surging power of the rivers quickly gathered on the Mingquan Turtle. The peak on the tortoise shell began to grow continuously, as if it was about to turn into a real mountain.
"Innate magical power: Zhenyue!"
The invisible shadow of a mountain enveloped the Mingquan Turtle Image. With the blessing of the power of the Ji River, this great demon seemed to have transformed into an indestructible ancient mountain, allowing the Huiming Sword to chop it down heavily.
The indestructible silver-white sword light finally stopped at this moment, revealing the rusty ancient bronze sword.
Mingquan Guixiang's pupils trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face as he said loudly:
"I finally caught you, die!"
As he spoke, he opened his ferocious mouth, and his sharp teeth seemed to tear the Huiming Sword into pieces.
On the Xuanhuang Tower, witnessing the Mingquan Turtle Image blessed by the power of the Jishui River, a look of surprise finally appeared on Shen Yuan's face.
His eyes suddenly became extremely deep, and Shen Yuan whispered slowly:
"In that case, I will use you to test the results of the recent integration of sword and qi."
Just when the Mingquan Turtle was about to swallow the Huiming Sword, the Huiming Sword suddenly disappeared.
Before Mingquan Guixiang could understand what was happening, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to swallow up all the light, and the river fell into darkness.
In the deep darkness, a ray of light flashed at the eyes of the Zhulong inscription on the hilt of the Huiming Sword, as if an ancient dragon had opened its eyes.
Day and night alternation!
The golden light tore through the darkness, as if a scorching sun had fallen from the sky to the earth, pressing down on the great demon that was carrying the mountain on its back with unrivaled power.
A look of panic finally appeared in Mingquan Guixiang's eyes. Only at this moment did he understand what kind of existence he was facing.
"Rao"
He only had time to shout out the last word before it was completely over.
The illusory mountain on its back collapsed under the might of the sun. The overwhelming water curtain evaporated in the scorching sun. The flame that penetrated directly into its soul burned out the last trace of its Yin Spirit. In an instant, only an empty shell remained of its huge body.
