Chapter 95 Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation
Chang Hao sighed. Sure enough, the Zhuxian Sword Formation was not easy to obtain. Although his strength had increased greatly, he was also unconsciously influenced by Luo Hou, the former owner of the four Zhuxian swords, and his killing intent was too strong. If he was not properly guided, he might make irreparable mistakes in the future.
“Tongtian,” Chang Hao couldn’t hide his worry, “If it’s just to have a place to raise pets, there are plenty of unclaimed treasure troves in this vast wilderness. Why be so fixated on this small piece of land in Kunlun Mountain? The world is vast and there is much to be done. With Tongtian’s abilities, he can definitely claim a territory openly and honestly without being criticized.”
“Of course I can do it,” Tongtian said without hesitation and as if it were a matter of course, “but West Kunlun is closer.”
"It's just a matter of distance, we can get there in a few steps. We, the Tongtian, are destined to become saints of the world," Chang Hao said with unwavering certainty. "We walk the righteous path. How can one become a saint if one's heart is wicked? Why should we be criticized by the great powers?"
"This..." Tongtian thought for a moment. Although he was not afraid of rumors, he would probably be beaten to death by his older brothers.
“Alright,” Tongtian reluctantly changed his mind, “then Chang Hao, you help me consider and choose a beautiful and auspicious place for my disciples.”
"Your...disciples???" Chang Hao blinked, a rare look of bewilderment on his face.
"Yes, yes, I'm only telling you this. Don't tell anyone else. Those rare and exotic beasts are my future close disciples whom I'm raising." Tongtian was full of trust.
Chang Hao's lips twitched, his expression utterly exasperated. "I just saw a flying tiger eat a leopard."
"It doesn't matter. Only those who survive to the end can become my disciples." Tongtian was proud of his ingenious idea. "My disciples must not be weak."
This is like raising a poisonous insect!
In Chang Hao's eyes, Tongtian's image was completely transformed. This was no longer the upright and promising young man he once was. No, the Tongtian of the past was not like this.
"Tongtian, may I take a look at your Four Swords of Zhuxian?" Chang Hao secretly guessed that Tongtian's change of temperament must have been influenced by external factors.
Just like when a child goes astray, parents find reasons to blame others for it. Chang Hao is no exception. Tongtian is a bit crooked, which must be due to the influence of Luo Hou.
“Why not?” Tongtian took out four swords. “Do you want the array diagram?”
"I want it." Chang Hao took the sword. In the past, this Zhuxian Sword was the sharp blade that Luo Hou used to kill him. He had even lost his life here before. For a moment, he was filled with mixed emotions.
"How does it compare to your Cangmin Sword?" Tongtian asked confidently.
“Each has its own merits; the most suitable one is the best. How can we judge it solely by its power?” Chang Hao examined the Zhuxian Sword. “Tongtian, the Zhuxian Sword’s aura is complex. How did you handle it?”
These four swords contain a great deal of violent energy, as well as numerous curses and resentments from the three races used as sacrifices, and Rahu's own demonic aura.
Hongjun simply didn't have that kind of meticulousness and thoughtfulness; how could he possibly remember to prepare things before bestowing the treasure?
Rahu sacrificed three clans to the sword back then, and Tongtian didn't become another Rahu. He is truly blessed and has a long life.
Tongtian was puzzled. "What else can we do? Of course, we should go to the Purple Mansion and let our energy merge so that we can achieve unity between man and sword as soon as possible."
"Actually, the previous owner of this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation has not yet died or disappeared," Chang Hao had to remind Tongtian.
"What?" A murderous aura flashed between Tongtian's brows. "Trying to take back the Zhuxian Sword? Dream on." The Zhuxian Sword Formation was given to him, and it was his. Even his master couldn't take the Zhuxian Sword back.
“Tongtian, you were too careless. You dared to go to the Purple Mansion without first eliminating all the demonic energy in the sword,” Chang Hao said with concern. “Today, your temperament has changed a lot compared to before. I think you have been affected by something.”
"This demonic energy is quite troublesome. I discovered that when the energy merges, the demonic energy of this sword is purified by my Shangqing Qi, just to save trouble." Tongtian was terrified. He had been too confident, firmly believing that he would not be affected. Who would have thought that he would still be affected.
"Fortunately, it was discovered early. You only had the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation for a short time, so there's still time to remedy the situation." Chang Hao reassured Tongtian, then took out the World-Destroying Black Lotus and controlled it to absorb the remaining demonic energy of Rahu.
"I will first use the Black Lotus of Annihilation to help you absorb the mottled energy, and then use True Fire to help you burn the four swords to eliminate the influence of their previous master."
The Black Lotus of Annihilation absorbs evil energy and transforms it into its own power, which can raise its rank.
Tongtian's eyes widened as he pointed at the black lotus. "I never expected this black lotus to fall into your hands. Aren't you upset?" This is not just a matter of cultivating unsuitable doctrines.
"No, the Black Lotus, if it falls into Luo Hou's hands, will be a world-destroying magic weapon. But in my hands, it is the best choice to absorb the violent energy for you. Do you understand?" Chang Hao glanced at Tongtian. What was wrong with the magic weapon itself?
"However, even if I help you deal with it, it will be difficult to completely remove it. The future development of this sword formation depends on yourself. Keep your mind upright and do not be misled by demonic obstacles. Consider it a form of self-cultivation."
"I understand. I just didn't expect the origin of this sword, and I was careless for a moment." Tongtian stared intently at the world-destroying black lotus that was entirely black yet could be faintly seen to radiate golden light. "Where did you get this lotus?"
"Of course it was taken from Luo Hou," Chang Hao thought for a moment and there was no need to hide it. It was good to make Tongtian more wary. "That person was not only the previous owner of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, but also the mastermind behind the destruction of the Dragon and Phoenix clans. His cultivation was comparable to that of the Dao Ancestor."
Tongtian was dumbfounded, hearing such a secret for the first time. His curiosity was piqued, and he repeatedly asked, "Where is Luo Hou now?" Chang Hao had just said that the man was still alive, which was very dangerous.
"I'm telling you this because he was suppressed and sealed by the Dao Ancestor, not so you can take risks. This person has already become a saint and is the ancestor of demons. If you encounter him, run away immediately. Don't listen to anything he says. Unless you become a saint, you have no chance of winning."
"The Demon Ancestor?" Tongtian was dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time. "That's why you called his aura demonic energy."
"If you were able to snatch the World-Destroying Black Lotus from Chang Hao, then your cultivation level must far surpass his." Tongtian keenly noticed something amiss.
Chang Hao sighed inwardly, "Times have changed. Back then, he was at a disadvantage, and I was able to barely defeat him with the help of a supreme innate treasure. If it weren't for Nuwa's rescue that day, I would probably have died long ago. As for now, I'd rather run as far away as possible."
Chang Hao was helpless. He also wanted to become a saint, but he was just a little short.
He understood immediately, "So that's how it is."
Tongtian was very satisfied to learn a secret. He rested his chin on his hand and watched Chang Hao help him purify the demonic energy. He wished Chang Hao could be there every day. With Chang Hao around, his life was much more pleasant. His second brother also restrained his harsh words, and his ears were much quieter.
"Third Master..." Bai He approached hesitantly.
"Bai He, what is it?" Tongtian narrowed his eyes. Was it his eldest or second brother who called him?
Baihe stepped forward and whispered his report. Tongtian's eyes widened. "What's wrong with Second Brother? I understand him less and less."
"Go back to your second brother's side first," Tongtian waved away the white crane. "Chang Hao, did you hear that? How many rare and precious treasures and innate spiritual treasures are in the Immortal Palace's treasury? What is your second brother thinking?" Although he has plenty, he can never have too many good things.
"Hurry up, go tell him you don't mind, and tell him to agree quickly." Tongtian was anxious and wished he could agree on Yuanshi's behalf.
Chang Hao remained unmoved, saying, "Yuanshi has his reasons for thinking this way. Since he is willing, it would be extremely inappropriate for me to persuade him to agree. That would be to betray his good intentions."
"What's with all this sentimentality?" Tongtian wasn't one for such delicate emotions. "I just know that accepting it won't be a loss for me."
"Whether it's a loss or not, you'll have to ask the person involved," Chang Hao said with a smile, looking at Yuan Shi who had quietly appeared beside him. "What do you think?"
