Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1336 - 610: Heavenly Dao Worm_2
An hour later, this Immortal Island smoothly returned within the range of the Sword God Palace.
The Mountain Protection Array of the Sword God Palace was fully activated, immortal soldiers enforced strict controls, and sword cultivators patrolled, disallowing anyone from entering or exiting.
Experts from Gun God Palace and God Slaughter Palace came to inquire about what had happened. Though they already knew, they expressed their concern and stance.
Fortunately, the Hundred Races had just fought a battle in the Broken Cloud Desert, suffering heavy losses, and thus showed no further actions at this moment.
Rumors regarding this Heavenly Punishment were rapidly spreading across Heaven and Earth.
Master Wang saw Teacher Jian Jiu again after more than half a day.
...
"Master."
"Hmm, no need for formalities."
Jian Jiu, donning a gray robe, calmly landed beside Wang Jixuan, carefully observing Luoshan Hermit in the small courtyard ahead, who had gradually resumed human form.
Jian Jiu asked, "Has Senior here spoken to you about anything?"
"What?" Wang Jixuan was puzzled, "Which aspect are you referring to, Master?"
"Why did Heavenly Punishment suddenly descend?"
Jian Jiu explained:
"The elders are debating, and Senior Sword Dance is somewhat losing control.
"Some elders say that punishing deceitful monsters with Heavenly Punishment is according to the rules, but this time the Heavenly Dao's punishment went overboard, nine penalties should have sufficed, yet they forcefully descended a tenth."
Wang Jixuan recalled the conclusions and strategies he discussed with Mu Dan and Shen Qionglin.
Master Wang grinned, "Teacher, there is a principle that I find quite reasonable—the more the enemy fears something, and the more they want to destroy it, the more we should safeguard it and protect it."
"That is true, but circumstances vary."
Jian Jiu clasped his hands behind his back, naturally exuding the demeanor of a Great Grandmaster.
"Do you know any secrets that we are yet unaware of?"
"I don't believe so."
Wang Jixuan pondered, leaving himself room for maneuver in his words:
"Today's matter is obvious, it's Po Luo scheming, initially bringing forth a colossal worm. This worm rapidly absorbed the evil qi and marked itself to attract Heavenly Punishment.
"Originally, this small world had already been refined into Jiezhi Qiankun, completely isolating it from the main world;
"And for many years before, Senior Luoshan was safe here, even refining a lot of evil qi. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"But today, Jiang's descent of the first punishment linked this realm to the outside world, allowing subsequent punishments to directly target Luoshan Hermit.
"This seems like an orchestrated calculation, definitely not impartial justice from Heaven."
Jian Jiu calmly said, "Everyone knows... do you have concrete evidence of Po Luo's involvement?"
"No," Master Wang admitted honestly, "I discussed it with Mu Dan and others and concluded that there will inevitably be discordant voices now. Some elders still hold Heaven in awe, which is quite normal."
Jian Jiu nodded slightly, "You are right, indeed some elders believe the punishment was justified."
"Teacher, rather than entangling over whether the punishment should have come, whether we can find evidence of Po Luo's scheming, it might be better to clarify one thing first."
"Oh? What matter?"
"Where did that worm come from?"
Wang Jixuan asked quickly:
"Such a monster that even local deceitful beings cannot explain, a creature that integrates with evil qi to avoid our probing, and can directly attract Heavenly Punishment, allowing it to penetrate all defenses and isolation arrays here, where did it come from?
"If there is any difference between the Ancient Battlefield and before, it's the addition of a Jiezhi Qiankun Array here.
"I don't mean to criticize the dozen Golden Immortal Elders who intervened those days.
"But this matter is peculiar precisely because of this.
"According to records, where the monstrous worm appeared, a senior from God Slaughter Palace was in charge that day..."
"Alright, that's enough."
Jian Jiu's gaze carried a deeper implication yet stopped Master Wang from saying more.
Wang Jixuan, aware of the significance of the matter, nodded and ended it there.
Unified cooperation among the Human Race Three Immortal Palaces is the right path for Immortal Realm Human Clan.
Master Wang's voice softened considerably, "Teacher, you can consider my words as mere dreams, not to be taken seriously."
"I will inform Fifth Senior Sister separately."
Jian Jiu raised his hand and patted Wang Jixuan's back:
"For this favor, I will repay you in the future."
"Teacher is treating the disciple as an outsider."
Wang Jixuan said with a grin:
"If you can impart the secrets of Sword Dao to me afterward, I will definitely carry forward your teachings to the best of my ability!"
Jian Jiu's eyes sparkled brightly.
Wang Jixuan:...
What a guy, Mu Dan predicted this again!
Simply, when speaking with Master Jian Jiu, be straightforward and simple, focusing on the topic of 'inheritance', and it surely guarantees success.
Jian Jiu gently said, "Then continue to guard here. I will see what else they have to say, and if they go overboard, I will reprimand them."
"Oh? Have you been promoted, Teacher?"
"Supreme level equivalent, but still a Second Generation Disciple."
Jian Jiu infused Wang Jixuan's back with two strands of sword intent, tenderly saying:
"These are the two sword intents I comprehended upon breakthrough, one derives from the Great Path of Time, named 'Time Ages All', it can corroborate with your Time Sword Intent.
"However, it is not as close to the essence of the Tao as your Time Sword Intent, you should verify and comprehend.
"The other sword intent derives from evil qi, named 'Life and Death Vast Uncertainty', it can illuminate your Slaughter Path and Death Path, but this sword intent is a Seven Emotions Sword Intent, different from other sword intents you previously mastered.
"The step forward was achieved with this Seven Emotions Sword Intent.
