920 Divine Bridge Broken by Sword (2/2)
The dragon qilin said, ”Look, when he was fighting with Yun Jianli, he didn't utilize his primordial spirit at all. Also, he didn't use the sword skills which he is most proficient in.”
Qi Jiuyi shook his head, not thinking much of the dragon qilin's words. ”How would Cult Master Qin have a primordial spirit? He doesn't have a soul, so naturally, he's unable to utilize his primordial spirit. As for his sword skills, what good would it do in a situation where even the Heavenly Dao and Great Dao of Youdu were used?”
Above the Jade Sea, Yun Jianli's breathing gradually became steadier. He then coughed violently with his face flushed. ”Celestial Venerable Mu, what do you think of my ancestor's Purple Heavens Blue Skies technique?”
Qin Mu gasped in admiration and said, ”It's a good technique, a thing of beauty. Celestial Venerable Yun lived up to the title of Celestial Venerable. Brother Yun, you aren't bad either. With your current abilities, you should be able to battle a few rounds with a young Celestial Venerable.”
Yun Jianli's eyes flickered, and he said, ”In that case, Celestial Venerable, are you implying that my ancestor's technique is outdated?”
”This is natural.”
Qin Mu said with great sincerity, ”You don't have to feel inferior. Even within the lower bound, not many people could defeat you, probably just two who are in the same realm as you. To achieve this degree of accomplishment without the reform of Eternal Peace, you haven't let Celestial Venerable Yun down.”
Yun Jianli broke out into laughter. ”There are two people in the Primordial Realm whose abilities can surpass me? Are they stronger than Celestial Venerables?”
Qin Mu shook his head. ”Their abilities are inferior to mine by a little and stronger than yours by a little. After all, I'm the Overlord Body. Even so, compared to all of you, I'm just a line better.”
Yun Jianli laughed until he started coughing violently. He recovered after panting a few heavy breaths and said, ”In that case, Celestial Venerable didn't display his full power earlier. I heard that Celestial Venerable has the title of Overlord Body in the lower bound and is also an expert in sword skills. That year, at the Jade Pool meeting, the projection of Mistress Yuanmu was unable to solve even one of your sword skills. I would like to witness Celestial Venerable's sword skills!”
Qin Mu revealed a pained expression. ”Brother Yun, you're a genius. I wouldn't want to cause you to have setbacks and affect your Dao heart…”
Yun Jianli replied with a serious expression, ”My ancestor held Celestial Venerable's sword skills in high regard. Celestial Venerable, you don't have to hold back. If my family's ultimate art loses to Celestial Venerable, that isn't a defeat to me, it's a fortunate thing.”
He was full of confidence and pride as he said sincerely, ”Only when I'm defeated will I realize that my Yun family isn't yet perfect and has room for improvement. If I'm not defeated, then there's simply no joy in living anymore! Truth be told, I have an unfinished move which I have yet to display. I would like Celestial Venerable to meet my move with your sword skills, allowing me to be defeated convincingly!”
His power exploded once again.
At this moment, Qi Jiuyi looked around the nearby area and saw many young men and women sailing on a ship across the sea towards them.
The dragon qilin looked around and said, ”Third Brother, who are these people?”
Qi Jiuyi looked at the people on the ship, his expression grim. ”These are people on the Splendid Youths List and Divine Talents List. There are many young people in the celestial heavens. In order to motivate these young people, the celestial heavens created the Spirit Talents List, Splendid Youths List, and Divine Talents List. The Divine Talents List is meant to rank the disciples of Celestial Venerables, ancient gods, heavenly kings, the four deities, and princes. The Splendid Youths List is meant for disciples of influential families, while the Spirit Talents List is meant for commoners and ordinary folks. The people on this ship are people from the Divine Talents List and Splendid Youths List.”
He shook his head and said, ”These people come with unkind intentions. I knew nothing good would come of Cult Master Qin's trip to the celestial heavens. It's a joke that he thought that no one would dare touch or kill him. If the celestial heavens want to kill, not to mention a Celestial Venerable, they would even kill the heavenly king!”
These people were approaching. Their ship came to a stop as they prepared to disembark.
Qi Jiuyi whispered, ”It's certain they are here to create trouble, looking for an excuse to kill Cult Master Qin. Second Brother, don't interfere. Let me receive them. They are bound to give some face to the disciple of Red Deity and Black Deity. However, I'm only able to protect you, not Cult Master Qin…”
He also turned to Yan'er and said solemnly, ”If Cult Master Qin encounters any danger, you are not to react either. After all, we're in the celestial heavens. They may have some apprehension killing Cult Master Qin, but not you!”
He didn't wait for the dragon qilin or Yan'er to answer and went forward by himself, laughing heartily. ”Everyone, it has been a long time since we last met. What brings you to the Jade Pool?”
”Oh, its Brother Jiuyi.”
A man in yellow standing at the front laughed. ”I heard that Brother Jiuyi hadn't returned for a long time after descending to the lower bound. Because of this, I thought that you'd been killed. I didn't expect you to still be alive. Truly, heaven is blind.”
Qi Jiuyi laughed coldy. ”Thanks to your blessings. A good man will receive heaven's aid. I'm truly blessed, so needless to say, I'm still alive.”
A delicate and elegant-looking girl with wings on her back looked towards the Jade Sea, where Qin Mu and Yun Jianli were. She said with interest, ”That was Celestial Venerable Mu and Yun Jianli exchanging blows earlier, right? Indeed, it was powerful. Their divine arts are boundless. It almost made me too afraid to come here.”
”A Celestial Venerable naturally has such abilities.”
Another Daoist laughed. ”Celestial Venerable Mu came from a tiny little place in the lower bound, so it's remarkable that his abilities can match up to Yun Jianli.”
Everybody nodded their heads and smiled. ”No wonder the country bumpkins of the lower bound refer to him as Overlord Body of Eternal Peace. He indeed has some talent!”
Suddenly, Yun Jianli's power exploded forth once more, giving everybody a shock. ”They want to continue fighting?”
However, this was different from before. Yun Jianli raised his palm as runes flew around madly, forming an apparition of the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens.
Many stars formed as throne halls and god cities appeared one after another. His toughened runes constructed many ancient-looking gods, each with their apparition.
The number of gods increased as the celestial palace neared completion. Once finished, the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens looked as though it had materialized from the past into reality. Within the Numinous Sky Hall of the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens, a celestial emperor seemed to be brought back to life.
A loud and clear Dao sound suddenly rang throughout the Jade Sea, truly deafening!
Even the expressions of the reputable people of the Splendid Youths List and Divine Talents List instantly changed. Yun Jianli hadn't displayed this ultimate art in front of anyone before, meaning it must be a great divine art that he had recently created!
His qi and blood were extremely intense, and his aura was incomparably overbearing, striking fear and dread in the hearts of people!
Right at this moment, Yun Jianli completely unleashed the power of this great divine art. This mudra allowed Yun Jianli to break through to a realm that he had never been able to reach in the past, making his inner heart clear and bright.
In the past, he was unable to fully unleash the power of this move. However, when facing a strong enemy like Qin Mu, he could finally put down his restraints and worries, displaying his aspirations and ideals without hesitation!
In his heart, this move was already perfect!
A moment later, a sword flew out, full of Heaven Han.
Qin Mu's sword light was extraordinarily sharp. It pierced through the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens and killed the celestial emperor in the Numinous Sky Hall. Its sword light then stabbed into Yun Jianli's body.
Yun Jianli heard a loud explosion, and his divine bridge was unexpectedly broken by Qin Mu's sword, his Divine Bridge Divine Treasure crumbling and collapsing!
