The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS-Chapter 1234 - 259: The Fool Who Courted Death

Fifteen days later, regardless of how the Taoist sects intercept and ambush, they couldn't stop the Mystical Sect from advancing into the East Province.

When Lin Zixiao and the Four Swords converged in the East Province, they finally saw in the distance the city high in the sky, seeming to be naturally formed.

"White Jade City, the holy land of Taoists." Lin Zixiao gazed at the city suspended above the Heavenly Vault with a complex expression.

The city was entirely made of white jade, with immortal energy swirling around it, seeming both near and far. It carried an extraordinary dignity, yet deeply manifested the essence of Dao. Though it hung in the sky, it was even more striking and dazzling than the sun above.

"I have seen countless ancient texts describing White Jade City. 'In the heaven, White Jade City, twelve towers and five cities, immortals patting my head, weaving longevity into my hair.'

Lin Zixiao softly said, "A city suspended in the sky is a complete fantasy from the perspective of me at the time. Even the strongest cannot easily destroy a floating city.

Until later, when I learned of the Tao Realm's existence, did I come to this realization. To mortals, we who wield Divine Communication appear like divine demons.

And to us, is the Tao Realm not the same?"

All impossibilities in the world come from insufficient strength. The feats accomplished by those in the Divinity Realm, for mortals, are miraculous wonders. The capabilities of the Tao Realm are just as wondrous for those with Divine Communication.

Xuan Yin Sword Residence stated, "According to Xuan Venerate, this White Jade City should have always been hidden in the Dao Ancestor's Secret Realm. It's a pity that after ten thousand years, no one has found the Dao Ancestor's Secret Realm, thus making White Jade City a myth and legend."

"Only the Tao Realm can hide a Secret Realm for ten thousand years." Lin Zixiao said.

Such deserted Secret Realms rarely remain hidden for ten thousand years. Throughout history, countless people have encountered wonders in masterless Secret Realms, and generations of the strongest have excavated Secret Realms hidden across the world.

After ten thousand years, those that could be found were found, and those that couldn't were mostly washed away by time.

Rarely does a Secret Realm or legacy remain hidden for hundreds or thousands of years. Things that cannot be found are not due to being well-hidden, but rather become ruins before being discovered.

Since Qing Yu's debut, the only senior relic he has seen is that of Elder Suantian a hundred years ago, showing how rare such wonders are.

Yet the Dao Ancestor's Secret Realm vanished for ten thousand years, only to appear under the Dao Ancestor's influence afterward, that's truly a "miracle."

"Indeed, the abilities of the Tao Realm are truly extraordinary." Yun Zheng joined the conversation.

A group of people chats casually, neither rushing forward nor retreating back.

There's nothing they can do; White Jade City is where the Dao Ancestor preaches. They dare not offend the place lightly. At the very least, they must wait for Qing Yu's order to attack before acting; otherwise, dying would be in vain.

Before then, all they can do is idly linger.

Thus, the group began chatting at the border of East Province. Nearly a thousand Mystical Sect Taoists stood behind them, staring blankly.

Until the sky turned dark and the sun set behind the hills, a stream of light flew down from White Jade City, directly towards them.

"The Dao Ancestor decrees that you all retreat."

A middle-aged Daoist descended with a jade scroll, surrounded by Daoist energy, giving him the appearance of an immortal visiting the mortal world.

Yet his lofty demeanor was truly displeasing.

"Chang Ziyang of Xuantong Sect, originally a True Core Realm Martial Artists, it seems he gained enlightenment in White Jade City and now advanced to Divine Communication." Yun Zheng sneered.

The Dao Ancestor is the progenitor of the True Qi Martial Way. He certainly does not lack the methods for letting True Core Realm Martial Artists break through their realm. As long as he is willing to bestow a thread of Xuan Yuan Qi, even in today's inert Primordial Energy environment, it is enough to increase the martial artist's chance of breaking through Divine Communication by over forty percent.

Because of this technique, the fractured Taoist sects still possess considerable strength.

However, to rely on the newly obtained power of Divine Communication to appear superior to everyone, that is somewhat overestimating oneself.

"Indeed, fools remain fools even upon reaching Divine Communication." Yun Zheng commented.

Chang Ziyang achieved Divine Communication, his Mental State surely can't be so frivolous. He did this not because he became arrogant with newfound power, but to try to intimidate the Mystical Sect people.

Although the Mystical Demon Sect pushed Taoist and Buddhist forces back relentlessly and fiercely, in many people's eyes, Qing Yu still did not quite match Dao Ancestor and Buddha.

We lost our war with the Mystical Sect/Demon Sect, but that was because the Dao Ancestor/Buddha did not intervene.

This is a thought held by many of Taoist and Buddhist sects.

In their eyes, the Dao Ancestor and Buddha, who proved the Dao thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, are gods, while Qing Yu, who recently proved the Dao, is still human.

How can humans fight against gods?

Suffice to say, quite a few people hold this rather foolish notion. Chang Ziyang is one such person. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He is not lacking in Mental State, just a bit foolish in cognition.

"Kill him, and leave that jade scroll." Xuanyin Sword Residence said flatly.

Everyone nodded.

They halted here because Qing Yu has yet to order. As soon as Qing Yu orders the attack, they dare to invade the East Province directly, even targeting the Capital City without issue.

Such a ridiculous character thinking of impressing everyone here only makes one's mind unsettled.

"Thunk—"

The Sword Light flashed, followed by the delayed sound of a sword ringing. Chang Ziyang, previously high and mighty, had his head fall smoothly, landing with that inexplicable sense of superiority onto the ground.

Xiao Qiye slowly sheathed his sword, stepped forward to take the jade scroll from the headless corpse, and said, "Let's go."

That sword obliterated the clown's Vitality and Primordial Spirit, ensuring his death, never to rise again.

"Let's go," Lin Zixiao also spoke calmly, indifferent to Chang Ziyang's death, and ordered the Mystical Sect Taoists to retreat.

This group of people left directly, ignoring entirely that this was East Province, the site of White Jade City.

As the swift wind blew, the headless corpse began to tilt slowly, toppled heavily, and fresh blood flowed from the smooth wound on the neck, staining the ground red.

After a while, two streams of light descended from the sky, landing on the ground, looking at Chang Ziyang's split corpse with grim faces.

"We just let those Mystical Sect demons go?" One person said indignantly to Kucha beside him.

"Even if we didn't, what could we do?" Kucha shook his head, "Can you fight them?"

It wasn't that he looked down on his companion, it's just realistically, given his companion's strength, catching up would still result in a single sword strike.

"Daoist Chang was the Dao Ancestor's emissary, he..."

The companion intended to argue more but was interrupted by Kucha, "The Dao Ancestor did not intervene, indicating Chang Ziyang deserved to die."

His gaze focused intensely southward, "Chang Ziyang was disdainful, not considering Xuan Venerate seriously. Dying is a white death."

Chang Ziyang was the Dao Ancestor's emissary, and the opponent was also representing Qing Yu.

Chang Ziyang's arrogance, in a way, was not taking Xuan Venerate earnestly.

He acted this way among his own people, but now did so in front of others, dying was his due fate.
