Chapter 39: The Sword Arrives
The branches that were meant to kill everyone were blocked by the icy aura.
Clang!
The branches, hard as spears, pierced the cold light barrier, but failed to penetrate it immediately.
It merely emitted a series of clanging sounds.
This was clearly Yang Jiuli activating the "Taiyin Qi Talisman" to create a protective light shield.
This time, however, he activated most of the power of the Qi talisman, creating a light shield six zhang wide that protected everyone.
"Prajnaparamita!" At this moment, Yang Jiuli's eyes flickered as he looked at the old willow tree spirit to the side and uttered the true words.
With each word he uttered, golden light shone from his mouth, transforming into a single word that struck the willow tree spirit ahead.
Each word seems to contain a mysterious and immense power.
It directly shattered the demonic chanting emanating from the willow tree spirit's mouth and struck the willow tree solidly.
Boom! Boom!
The old willow tree swayed from the impact.
Green blood gushed from its human face.
The demonic sound from its mouth stopped.
The soul-capturing illusion was also stopped.
"This...this is an ancient Buddhist mantra...how is this possible! How can there still be cultivators in this world?" The old willow tree coughed up green blood, its eyes wide with shock as it looked down at Yang Jiuli, and exclaimed in disbelief.
The willow tree spirit looked at Yang Jiuli, and the shock in its heart was hard to calm down for a long time.
The sonic technique that the young man just used was clearly beyond the realm of ordinary people.
This is a supernatural secret technique possessed only by cultivators.
On the other side, Wei Wuji also stared wide-eyed at them.
"Speaking the truth... Could this be an ancient immortal technique?" Wei Wuji looked at Yang Jiuli under the willow tree with disbelief. From the willow tree spirit attacking Qin Shisan and activating the Soul-Capturing Illusion Technique, to attacking Yang Jiuli and the others.
These scenes all happened in the blink of an eye.
Wei Wuji had anticipated that Yang Jiuli would not fall for the willow tree spirit's soul-capturing illusion, which would lead to Yang Xiangru's intervention. However, the fact that Yang Jiuli broke the soul-capturing illusion with the Five True Words and even injured the willow tree spirit greatly exceeded his expectations.
"Strange, isn't it?" Yang Jiuli smiled, narrowing his eyes, and said, "You'll be shocked by many things later."
As he spoke, Yang Jiuli's mind sank into his sea of consciousness, locking onto a 'Past Life Talisman'.
Next to this talisman from a past life, a row of numbers appeared: The talisman seed has been planted, awaiting activation.
His spiritual power transformed into a finger, which he tapped on a talisman beside him.
"Activate..." Yang Jiuli suddenly activated the talisman seed from his past life planted on the corpse of Qin Jianmei, the patriarch of the Famous Sword Manor.
"In the name of stone, with talisman as the guide, I connect with the ancient past and illuminate the netherworld... I command all living beings throughout history, whether born from womb or egg... whoever receives this talisman's seed, their spirits from past lives will obey my command... Qin Jianmei, soul, return!"
Within his sea of consciousness, Yang Jiuli began chanting incantations.
In that instant, the Three Lives Stone shone brightly and evolved into a vortex, within which a long river of time truly emerged.
Yang Jiuli's chanting transformed into talismans that disappeared into the long river of time.
Within that long river of time, faint points of light intertwined and coalesced into a transparent, blurry human figure.
Within the light shield created by the "Taiyin Qi Talisman," light and shadow suddenly flickered on the coffin that Qin Jianhe was carrying.
A vortex appeared.
The powerful blood energy and true spirit plunged into the vortex, gathering in the long river of time in Yang Jiuli's sea of consciousness between his brows.
Yang Jiuli knew the world.
Qin Jianmei's spirit body condensed almost instantly, with a mark of a "past life talisman" between his eyebrows.
Yang Jiuli separated a wisp of his divine consciousness and injected it into the "Past Life Talisman" mark between Qin Jianmei's eyebrows.
In that instant, the world spun, time reversed, and Yang Jiuli seemed to have arrived in another time and space.
We arrived at the Famous Sword Manor.
In the training ground of a mountain villa, a child is practicing swordsmanship.
This child was Qin Jianmei, who was only six years old.
At this moment, Yang Jiuli's mind and spirit were completely merged with the child.
He is Qin Jianmei.
Qin Jianmei is him.
You started practicing swordsmanship at six and reached the peak of martial arts at ten.
He reached the level of a chivalrous knight at the age of twelve.
At the age of fifteen, he reached the level of a master, and after mastering the lightness skills "Walking on Waves" and "Falling Plum Sword Technique", he began to roam the martial arts world.
You reached the pinnacle of your mastery at the age of seventeen, your swordsmanship becoming unparalleled.
At the age of thirty-six, you entered the realm of a half-step Grandmaster.
At the age of forty-three, you entered the Grandmaster realm and perfected the Qin Family Nine Swords.
At the age of fifty, the ancient site of the "Black Abyss" appears, and you go to explore it.
At the age of fifty-one, you join forces with Grandmaster Tang Bai and Yang Xiangru to explore the "Black Abyss".
You each obtained an ancient token in the Black Abyss Ruins, which unlocked an ancient palace where you acquired ancient martial arts techniques.
You obtained the "Sword Control Technique," from which you comprehended the profound mysteries of swordsmanship, achieving oneness with the sword and reaching the Grandmaster realm.
Based on the "Nine Swords of the Qin Family", he created Sword Ten, Sword Eleven... Sword Thirteen, which made him famous in the martial arts world and made him a leader in swordsmanship.
After the age of 168, your vitality gradually declines, and you feel that your life is coming to an end.
Afterwards, they went to the "Black Abyss" several times to explore, but gained nothing. Instead, they were attacked by the "Demon" and evil spirits.
Finally, at the age of 188, you passed away with a heart full of regrets.
Qin Jianmei's life is recreated.
188 years have passed in the long river of time, but only a fleeting moment has passed outside.
"I comprehended the true meaning of the sword path from the cultivation technique 'Sword Control Technique'..."
"Qin Jianmei truly deserves to be called a swordsmanship prodigy!"
As his mind withdrew, Yang Jiuli murmured to himself.
He also felt great respect for this grandmaster.
Qin Jianmei was born in an ordinary era.
If this were the era of cultivation, with his talent, his achievements would be extraordinary; he would undoubtedly become a sword immortal.
At the same time, Qin Jianmei's many martial arts skills were all absorbed and integrated into Yang Jiuli's mind.
What Yang Jiuli remembered most vividly was:
Sword Ten Forms: Autumn Water Flowing Around the Finger (Sword energy flows like water, ever-changing)
Sword Eleventh Form: Sword and I become one, the body is the sword.
The Twelve Sword Techniques: All swords return to their origin; flowers and leaves can all be used as swords.
Thirteen Sword Forms: Heaven, Man, and Sword as One!
If Yang Jiuli's true energy reaches the Grandmaster level, he will immediately be able to unleash the ultimate sword techniques of these Grandmasters.
……
Just as Yang Jiuli activated the heroic spirit of "Qin Jianmei".
With the willow tree spirit's soul-capturing illusion broken, the people from the three major forces gradually regained their senses.
"That was an illusion..." Qin Shisan regained his senses in the air, because it only took a breath.
He was still in the air.
Upon regaining consciousness, he found his body suddenly sinking, almost falling.
He was jolted awake by the blow, and immediately used the momentum of his feet to propel himself upwards.
In addition, Qin Shisan drew his sword technique, and the Autumn Water Sword behind him was unsheathed. The sword light shattered the frozen branches.
Then, with a flick of his left hand, he embraced Qin Zhixue and carried her down to the edge of the Spirit Pool.
Yang Xuan, Tang Yuan, and the others gradually regained their senses.
At this moment, Yang Xiangru stepped into the air and directly attacked Wei Wuji, who was in a state of shock.
Wei Wuji's heart skipped a beat, sensing something amiss. He immediately drew his Purple Cloud Sword and parried the attack with a single strike...
the other side.
"It's actually a willow tree spirit!" Tang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he wielded the Five Tiger Soul-Severing Blade, slashing at the willow tree spirit.
The willow tree spirit's branches flashed and instantly transformed into spears, stabbing towards Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan's blade strike was blocked.
Branches attacked from different directions, forcing Tang Yuan to dodge and retreat.
Even a master as powerful as him could not get close to the willow tree spirit.
Instantly, the willow tree spirit controlled many branches to pierce towards the cold light barrier.
Cracks began to appear on the photomask.
Not only that, branches also emerged from the ground, stabbing towards the cultivators of various races within the light barrier.
Tang Xiao and the others immediately brandished their swords to defend themselves.
Many people were filled with fear and were injured by thorns from the branches in their haste.
"Frostbite Palm!" Yang Xuan slammed his palm into the ground, and a wave of icy energy swept out, freezing the branches that sprouted from the ground.
Immediately, everyone swung their swords, slicing the spear-like branches to pieces.
At the same time, a green light suddenly flashed in the nearby pool, and one after another, 'fierce demons' leaped out from it.
Among them was the 'Demon King' with branches on its four limbs.
As soon as the 'Demon King' leaped onto the shore of the Spirit Pool, it charged towards the icy light barrier.
His palm was like a blade, the branches on it flashing as they pierced the cold light barrier, causing the cracks on the barrier to worsen.
In a critical situation, Yang Xuan struck out with his palm, and a burst of cold energy erupted from his palm, condensing into a palm print.
The icy palm print struck solidly against the 'Demon King,' causing him to stagger back seven feet.
hum!
Just then, light and shadow emerged from the vortex above the coffin that Qin Jianhe was guarding.
However, it was the spirit of Qin Jianmei that emerged from within.
The moment Qin Jianmei's body appeared, he beckoned to Qin Jianhe, who was standing beside the coffin.
"Sword, come!" A deep voice rang out, and a sword box on Qin Jianhe's back was opened.
A white jade sword appeared.
The hilt of the sword is made of white jade.
This is the sword that Qin Jianmei used when he was at the Grandmaster level, named "Falling Plum".
With a wave of his hand, Qin Jianmei captured the "Falling Plum Blossom" sword in a flash.
Immediately, Qin Jianmei moved like a rainbow, sweeping across the battlefield with a single move towards the Demon King who had been repelled by Yang Xuan.
brush!
With a flash of sword light, the 'Demon King' was decapitated.
The demon's head was severed and sent flying.
Sword energy crisscrossed, like a whirlwind cutting through the air, slicing the 'Demon King's' head into countless pieces, just like slicing a watermelon.
"Ancestor...!" Qin Jianhe's eyes lit up.
"It's the spirit of my ancestor from the Famous Sword Manor!"
"Haha, our ancestors have shown their power!"
Immediately, the cultivators of Famous Sword Manor exclaimed in surprise, their morale soaring.
"The Qin family ancestor has appeared!" Tang Yuan's eyes flickered as he looked at Qin Jianmei, who was standing suspended in mid-air. His eyes were filled with fervor, and he thought to himself, "As expected... Snowdrift Manor has a secret technique that can summon the ancestral spirits!" Tang Yuan's face was full of envy.
He had previously asked Tang Yifan to inquire whether the secret technique could be transferred.
Unfortunately, Yang Jiuli mentioned that only he could perform this technique.
Now that Qin Jianmei has appeared, his guess has been completely verified.
