Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 769 - 6: Burning Essence, Suming Shows Off
Chapter 769: Chapter 6: Burning Essence, Suming Shows Off
When Ling Yunpo recited the last sentence, a certain power burst forth from within the Green Duckweed Sword inside his body — more precisely, from the Tai Yin Suming Sword.
“As expected…,” he trembled in both pain and a bizarre way, trying hard to speak, “As expected you are…”
“I never said I wasn’t, did I?” the Suming Sword giggled, “When we first met, it was you who checked various resources, and then unilaterally decided I was the Green Duckweed Sword.”
“At that time, I found it quite amusing, so I replied ‘If you want to think that, you can,’ after all, a name is just a code. I can be called Suming Sword, or Green Duckweed Sword, it doesn’t matter.”
Ling Yunpo could not reply because endless streams of pure yin energy had filled his meridians, and even more power was being forcefully poured into him.
The restrictions set by Elder Ming Hua on him were almost effortlessly broken through, but he felt no joy… He felt like a water balloon being blown up, with water still being poured incessantly into it.
He was about to explode.
“You see.” Suming Sword spoke leisurely, “I gave you a chance. Once you utter those maxims, there’s no turning back.”
“Generally. To wield my power, Immortal Rank is the minimum threshold. But you are currently only at the Golden Core Rank. Whether you can bear it or not depends on the Sword Master’s ability.”
“I…” Ling Yunpo really wanted to curse, but that force rampaged within his body, each collision causing him heartrending pain.
“Meeting me is your good fortune,” Suming Sword said, seemingly oblivious to his condition, or perhaps deliberately ignoring it, continuing to speak with ill intent, “If it were the stubborn Suming Sword, without reaching the Immortal Rank and without undergoing the entire Human Race’s sword-giving ceremony, it wouldn’t even acknowledge you, you know?”
“It’s only the exceedingly compassionate me, who was willing to follow you when you were at the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“That’s about enough.” Kunlun Mirror, unable to watch any longer, interrupted her, “Keep this up, and he’s going to die.”
“I’m not joking though, Yao Yao.” Suming Sword replied in surprise, “Once my power is activated, it can’t be taken back.”
“What should we do then?” Kunlun Mirror also panicked, “You don’t really intend to kill him, do you?”
“Although I’m called the ‘Demon Sword,’ I still have the basic integrity of an Immortal Sword, okay?” Suming Sword said, very exasperated, reminding her, “Don’t you have that thing, Burning Essence?”
Kunlun Mirror then remembered that when An Zhisu was about to awaken his Innate Sword Heart, she had tempted him to help with recording by promising to teach him a secret technique.
Innate Sword Bone, Burning Essence, could almost possess an immortal body in the short term, the downside being that it would severely damage the essence of the Innate Sword Bone.
But where did this fellow get an Innate Sword Bone from? It was all simulated by her divine skills.
If he had to burn anything, it could only be his Spiritual Power.
“How about it, Yao Yao?” Suming Sword asked with a cheeky grin, “You and I join forces, how about causing a big scene here at Shushan?”
“Ah, I’m so done with you.” Kunlun Mirror sighed.
However…
She gazed quietly at Chen Guanshui who was struggling to maintain consciousness in his agony, and thought to herself:
To go so far as to risk his life for An Zhisu, I don’t dislike such a host either.
The dialogue that unfolded within the Sea of Consciousness was but a fleeting instant in reality.
Ling Yunpo, restrained by the Long Eyebrow Immortal, suddenly erupted with a purplish-black gas from his seven orifices, despite being immobilized.
The wispy purplish-black mist fluttered like raging flames, scorching so intensely that the Long Eyebrow Immortal immediately let go.
This is… Innate Tai Yin Energy? The Long Eyebrow Immortal was extremely astonished.
The so-called Innate Tai Yin Energy was a thread of Yin energy born at the very beginning when heaven and earth first divided.
Sun energy rules clarity, while Yin energy rules turbidity; Innate Sun Energy is ethereal and sublime, but Innate Yin Energy is substantial and flowing, giving a sense of heaviness when touched.
But whether it is Innate Sun Energy or Innate Tai Yin Energy, both are treasures even immortals find difficult to come by…
As thousands of thoughts raced through the Long Eyebrow Immortal’s mind, he saw that Ling Yunpo’s seven orifices were nearly rupturing, spewing purplish-black flames incessantly; it was as if his physical body could not contain so much Tai Yin Energy.
Anyone else would have exploded and perished within a few breaths’ time, but Ling Yunpo did not die; instead, he trembled as he raised his right arm, and a black Immortal Sword shot out, severing the Dragon-Imprisoning Pillar binding An Zhisu.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
The Dragon-Imprisoning Pillar was incredibly thick, beyond the embrace of three to five men with arms outstretched, and its material was extremely hard; even an Immortal Sword would struggle to leave a mark on it.
However, under the thrust of the black Immortal Sword, it split as easily as an axe through bamboo, breaking instantly upon contact.
The surrounding Peak Masters and elders were now in an uproar, with none expecting Qing Heng True Person, who was under the control of the Long Eyebrow Immortal, to suddenly self-ignite, break free of his bonds, and even slice through the Dragon-Imprisoning Pillar with a sword.
Ming Hua elder was also greatly shocked, thinking to himself that with this man’s Golden Core rank, the Tai Yin Summoning Sword could not possibly recognize him as its master!
Without recognition by its master, the Immortal Sword couldn’t exert its fundamental strength; that’s why Ming Hua elder had dared to strike at him before. But now…
…judging by the current situation, the Summoning Sword seems to have acknowledged its master?
Without a change in expression, he prepared to retreat, only to see Ling Yunpo cut An Zhisu’s bonds and then suddenly turn his head.
His eyes were ablaze, with purplish-black flames spurting incessantly from his ears, nose, and mouth, resembling a ferocious and fearsome demon dragon. A streak of black light flashed, and the Tai Yin Summoning Sword lunged forth, crossing dozens of yards in a flash, targeting the about-to-flee Elder Ming Hua!
“Audacious fiend!” Several Peak Masters and elders, friends of Ziyun Peak, immediately cried out in angered protest and quickly mobilized their Immortal Swords to rescue.
The first cyan Immortal Sword intercepted in the front but met the Tai Yin Summoning Sword without even the sound of metal striking; it was simply cut in two like a wooden sword, stunning its Peak Master into petrified stillness, his face filled with disbelief.
The second, a red Immortal Sword, arrived, with Samadhi True Fire erupting around it, looking to engulf the Tai Yin Summoning Sword within.
However, once the Samadhi True Fire touched the purplish-black energy on the Summoning Sword, it dispersed as quickly as sea tide hitting rocks.
With a mere upward flick during its assault, the Tai Yin Summoning Sword casually sent the red Immortal Sword flying. The point of contact cracked open a thumb-sized gap, from which fissures spread out like a spider’s web in every direction.
As for the red Immortal Sword’s master, he spat out a mouthful of blood, obviously heavily injured as his Life-bound Sword Artifact had been significantly damaged, with repercussions to his own condition due to the psychic link.
With the fates of these two Immortal Swords as a warning, how could the other Peak Masters and elders fail to realize the danger? They hastily retracted their intercepting swords intended for blocking, as if an entire charge of cavalry had come to an abrupt halt. They allowed the Tai Yin Summoning Sword to continue its relentless advance toward Elder Ming Hua!
