Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 869 - 541: The Next Goal—Ascending to the Human Race Sky Palace!
He patted forcefully and said "Good" three times in succession.
Immediately, the Sword Master gazed sincerely into the eyes of Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan: "Yuan, I truly did not instruct ZiJi and the others to harm you. Do you believe me?"
At this moment, a sudden stillness fell over the scene.
All the saints focused their attention, observing Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan with tension.
Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan smiled gracefully and said, "Of course, I believe in Master Hao."
"Hahaha." The Sword Master laughed heartily.
He slowly relaxed his tightly gripped hands from Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan's, shifting his body eastward, toward the direction of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent, toward the Phoenix Creek Sect.
"Senior Brother, with Yuan safeguarding the sect, you and I can be at ease~"
With these words, he passed away with a smile.
Woosh——
Feeling the dispersal of the Sword Master's aura, witnessing the gradual emergence of the Sword Master's Immortal Aperture, saints like Baixiang Xuanjiang still found their spirits trembling.
He was gone.
Just like that, the Sword Master was gone.
A legendary eighth-rank Sword Saint fell just like that!
Such an event was truly abrupt.
But gazing at the evolving Immortal Aperture Cave Heaven, they had no choice but to believe.
Afterward, when the evolution of the Sword Master Cave Heaven was complete, and the obsession of the Sword Master Earth Spirit was understood by the saints, the uproar grew even louder.
Because the obsession of the Sword Master Earth Spirit was to acknowledge 'Phoenix Creek Co-Lord' Hong Yuan as its master!
"The Sword Master Earth Spirit wants to recognize Senior Brother as its master, just as I expected, Master Hao also deeply trusted that Senior Brother could lead the sect through the tribulation!"
"It's truly enviable; with the existence of the Phoenix Creek Co-Lord, Master Hao's reputation, and even that of the Phoenix Creek Sect, can be preserved, and everyone must give face."
"There's no choice; Hong Yuan is not only a Human Tao Saint in the world but also the top of the Heavenly Talent Sequence in the Heavenly Palace. Moreover, he's just a step away from becoming an eighth-rank saint, truly remarkable!"
"Previously, under the leadership of the last generation Phoenix Creek Great Saint, the Phoenix Creek Sect dominated all major sects of the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent. Unexpectedly, now, the Phoenix Creek Sect still surpasses us."
"The legacy is orderly, and new talents constantly emerge in prominent families. I really wonder what kind of treasure land the Phoenix Creek Sect is..."
Saints such as the Qinglu Great Saint, who were not from the Phoenix Creek Sect, lauded the high integrity of the Sword Master and praised the Phoenix Creek Sect for its well-ordered heritage.
The joyful atmosphere quickly dispelled the sorrow of the departed.
After all, the life and death of a saint in the past would alarm a region, let alone a legendary eighth-rank Sword Saint.
But now, in times of war between two races, the fall of saints couldn't account for much.
They must look forward!
...
Half a day later.
Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan finally dealt with all the miscellaneous matters and sent off all the saints.
Currently, he was within the Sword Master Cave Heaven.
The Sword Master Cave Heaven included the presence of the sun and moon, and the change of celestial phenomena; it could be said to be a very stable and good small world.
If managed, it wouldn't be a bad path, especially considering the unique sword mountain resource point of the Sword Master Cave Heaven!
However, Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan didn't need to do this.
Because he lacked no resources!
"Let's begin," Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan uttered calmly.
The Public Character Heavenly Book floated from his embrace, enlarging against the wind into a colossal mountain, hovering over the Sword Master Cave Heaven.
Under the Sword Master Earth Spirit's dazed gaze, Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan was incorporating the Sword Master Cave Heaven into his own blessed land?!
Hiss~
This was astounding.
The secret method to incorporate an Immortal Aperture was rare, and how could a blessed land possibly incorporate a Cave Heaven of a higher grade?
This didn't conform to the Tao and principles~
Yet, with the help of the Public Character Heavenly Book, Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan indeed was incorporating it, thereby augmenting the foundation of his Immortal Aperture!
"A pleasant surprise."
"The greatest taboo in incorporating an Immortal Aperture is the issue of mutual exclusivity."
"Yet my body practices various secret methods of the Phoenix Creek Sect as the Sword Master did, and moreover, I possess the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill to govern all."
"Of course, critically, my form itself is that of a Human Tao Saint, naturally superior!"
"Once the Sword Master Cave Heaven is digested, that moment shall be when I ascend to the eighth rank as a saint."
"Wait...True Phoenix Treasure Skill?!"
Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan's thoughts raced ahead like a galloping steed.
But in a flash, he curtailed his sprinting thoughts.
Because during the digestion of the Sword Master Cave Heaven, he gained insight into the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill, inadvertently triggering the celestial mane of the True Phoenix Treasure Skill!
The Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill is a Quasi-Emperor technique.
While the True Phoenix Treasure Skill is a Tao Achieving technique, a Great Emperor method!
The establishment of the Phoenix Creek Sect was precisely due to the founding ancestor becoming a True Phoenix in a dream, deriving the Phoenix Creek Treasure Skill!
"The eighth rank is really no challenge for me."
"Conversely, possessing a path to Tao Achievement, even to Emperor Achievement, is most critical!"
Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan hesitated no more.
With the propulsion of his vital energy, he directly used up the Sword Master Cave Heaven as the price to probe the True Phoenix Treasure Skill.
Consuming a tenth of the Sword Master Cave Heaven, consuming three-tenths...consuming ten-tenths!
After three days and nights.
Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan, sitting cross-legged in the void, slowly opened his eyes.
Behind him, a virtual shadow of an Immortal Phoenix sprouted wings, lifelike, with a profound and immeasurable aura.
At the cost of consuming the Sword Master Cave Heaven, he advanced his unique True Phoenix Treasure Skill.
The grade, equivalent to half a volume of a Tao Achieving scripture!
Once he advances the True Phoenix Treasure Skill to the level of a complete Tao Achieving scripture, that shall be the moment of his Tao Achievement!
He has the True Dragon, also the Heavenly Horned Ant.
And now, even the Immortal Phoenix is arriving.
Oh right, and the Thunder Emperor…
In the Dream World, Hong Yuan recalled the myriad transformations of his Demonic Body and Incarnation, his lips twitching slightly, suddenly silent.
The Ten Ferocious, is it?
...
On the other side.
When the news of the Sword Master's passing reached within the Phoenix Creek Sect, the sect was wailing throughout, draped in white.
As the current Phoenix Creek Sect lacked an eighth-rank saint, the strongest saint was Phoenix Creek Hong Yuan.
Thus, all the saints in the Phoenix Creek Sect gathered around Hong Yuan, taking him as their leader.
Even those like Ziji Fairy, Xuanhun War General, and Jincun Battle General, who previously opposed him, now sincerely apologized repeatedly, not daring to stir trouble, let alone misbehave.
With rightful status and top-tier martial prowess in hand,
Under this dual grasp, the Phoenix Creek Sect truly entered an era belonging to Hong Yuan!
Therefore, his next goal—the summit of the Human Clan Sky Palace!!!
