980 Practice One Sword Each (1/2)

Ye Yuqi seemed to have guessed that Meng Qi would reply this way or make some similar jokes, so she wasn't the least bit surprised. Slightly nodding her head, she led Meng Qi into the hall storing martial manuals and took out the five books related to Lord Lingbao. They were the Fairy Slaying Sword Manual, the Celestial Slashing Sword Manual, the Celestial Invading Sword Manual, the Celestial Killing Sword Manual, and the Drawing of Fairy Slaying Sword Formation.

Meng Qi's consciousness penetrated the book on Fairy Slaying Sword Manual. Just as he felt something, a pure green sword flew into his soul from beyond the heavens. Its sharpness made colors appear dull, as though it could penetrate the future, crumble the past and delete away all the markings inside the River of Time.

The awe of the sword made Meng Qi feel as though he had fallen into an indescribable nightmare ⁠— his soul and body were being crushed bit by bit, his Earth's experience was getting blurry, his martial journey which started from Shaolin was falling apart, all possibilities from now to the end of this life were all annihilated, leaving behind only a dead end toward destruction.

After an unknown period of time, Meng Qi suddenly came to his senses, his face and body covered with black sweat. At a Dharmakaya level, he had already completely gotten rid of his flesh body and wouldn't sweat anymore, so it was more of the reappearance of past experiences due to a change in mood, hence an illusion. However, if the soul really changed dramatically and experienced the feeling of death, the Dharmakaya body would destroy the invading demons by itself, forming black sweat to prevent being possessed by demons.

Meng Qi's body jerked. The black sweat all disappeared before he let out a long exhalation, feeling as though he was reborn. The Fairy Slaying Sword was a sword of time, and truly terrifying. Just the part that he could comprehend was already powerful beyond imagination. Moreover, it focused on killing, which was entirely different from the other skills that he had obtained. Even though it was comprehending it through his body, it was as though he had gone through a massacre, and the consequences would be beyond redemption if he was not careful.

”Take it slowly,” Ye Yuqi specially reminded as she had heard Lord Lingbao talk about the four Fairy Slaying Swords and hence knew the danger.

Meng Qi revolved the Yuanxin and Yinyang Seals, and his soul and body quickly recovered from exhaustion. Then, in an orderly manner, he comprehended and used it to create a manual, as the Six Dao would destroy the book if he took it away and it was beyond his abilities to recreate a true inheritance.

The Celestial Slashing Sword, dark in color, was a space killing sword. It wasn't just space in the general sense, but included spaces of both higher and lower levels, such as space with only length and breadth but no height and a space that could be everywhere in the real world. As for the Celestial Invading Sword, its red color symbolized energy. Whether it was a material reality or the fantasy world, it had to be related to the law of corresponding energy derivation. The Celestial Killing Sword was a sword of white material. It was the beginning of all things, but also the end of everything.

After meditating for a long time, Meng Qi recovered. He immediately left the Aquamarine Heaven and rushed straight to Northern Zhou Changle to look for Brother Doubi, Gao Lan.

Disregarding the fact that he could work happily together and discuss things amicably with Mister Lu Da and Su Wuming, just practicing the Fairy Slaying Sword Formation alone was an irresistible temptation to the two supreme swordsmen. Only Gao Lan was unpredictable and sometimes even more difficult to understand than a lunatic, so he has to be settled first.

⁠Mister Lu Da might not thoroughly practice the relevant content of the Fairy Slaying Sword Formation. His entire attention was on his own path, but comprehending this sword formation could reflect on his own swordplay, helping him find shortcomings and ways to improve.

Changle, the Imperial Palace.

When Meng Qi stepped into the main hall, he saw Gao Lan wearing a dark emperor robe, his majestic body on the throne, his right hand supporting his forehead and his eyes which were deep in thoughts looking at him.

”My respect to you, Big Brother,” Meng Qi wittily changed his form of addressing.

Gao Lan's eyes were deep, and he broke his silence after a long while, ”We're in the palace, you have to address me as 'Your Majesty'.”

”...” Meng Qi was dumbstruck.

You'd better not guess what Big Brother is thinking, you'll never get it. He's more difficult to figure out than a mental patient…

”You're here because of Donghai Golden Turtle Island?” Gao Lan initiated the topic.

”Yes, Big Brother, erm, Your Majesty, are you attending the banquet?” Meng Qi asked.

Supporting his forehead with his right hand and tapping the armrest of the throne with his left, Gao Lan said slowly, ”In Zhou, I am able to move around freely and mobilize all living beings to the maximum, and Changle also has a long-arranged formation. But Golden Turtle Island only mentioned the banquet and nothing specific. Even if they have no ill intentions, their attitude is extremely arrogant. Arrogance breeds extremity, and extremity breeds anger. If we say something that slightly disagrees, we might incur their wrath. More importantly, there is at least a forty percent chance that Golden Turtle Island has ill intentions. Besides that, the number of divine immortals on the island is unknown, so is their formation and also the existence of other powerhouses.”

”So, you're thinking of not attending?” Meng Qi nodded slightly as he listened.
