Wine Sword Immortal was utterly confused.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
In the myths, Nuwa created humans and molded the earth, being the mother of all beings in heaven and earth. Why then, would her descendants be cursed with premature death?
Why did they only guard the small area of Nanzhao Country throughout many generations?
He couldn’t provide any answers.
Jiang Ming then asked many questions about the other side, such as whether the fire kirin existed?
Did the fire phoenix exist?
Yes, they exist.
But they were not as powerful as the legends described, merely at the seventh or eighth realm, and there were plenty of monsters and demons roaming the wilderness. Just like their Shu Mountain, they’ve dedicated themselves to slaying demons and protecting the living, creating the Demon-locking Tower to suppress a great number of evil spirits.
“Why not kill the demons and monsters completely?” Jiang Ming inquired, “Imprisoning them means they still have a chance to escape.”
There are good spirits and bad spirits!”
“Wrong, if they were suppressed in the Demon tower, they wouldn’t be a good spirit anymore.”
“This...”
Wine Sword Immortal’s eyes flickered but he didn’t answer.
Jiang Ming chuckled, not pursuing the question further.
He then asked, “Are there Five Elemental Beads over there?”
“Yes, the Five Elemental Beads possess unparalleled power,” Wine Sword Immortal did not hide the truth. “They are said to be related to Nuwa, but now they are scattered in various places, their whereabouts unknown.”
Jiang Ming continued to ask many questions.
For example, what was the Moon-worshiping Cult Leader’s cultivation level?
Were water demon beasts really so powerful?
And so on.
“Enough, youngster!” Wine Sword Immortal was truly annoyed. “What is my daughter’s name? If you don’t say it, I’ll ask the Saintess.”
Do you dare?” Jiang Ming asked curiously.
“I, I...” Wine Sword Immortal hesitated.
“At your age, you’re still trapped by your emotions. I don’t know what to say,” Jiang Ming shook his head. “The best way is to visit a brothel, and in a month, you’ll break free from the cage of love. And there’s a woman who deeply loves you, even willing to bear your child, but you don’t cherish her. Love is cheap when it’s desired rather than bestowed!”
“Your hairs have not even fully grown, what do you know!” Wine Sword Immortal snorted.
“Alright, alright!” Jiang Ming laughed, “Her name is Anu, she likes Tang Yuxiaobao, go find her!”
Thank you, Brother Jiang.” Wine Sword Immortal was eager to leave, driving his wine gourd to depart. Jiang Ming grabbed him, “Hold on, aren’t you going to watch the duel between the two Land Immortals?”
“Screw it!” Wine Sword Immortal grumbled, “I can poke them to death with a single sword!”
“After going back, help me keep an eye out for the Five Elemental Beads. Consider it thanks to me!”
“Alright!”
Wine Sword Immortal left directly.
“Five Elemental Beads!
Jiang Ming looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.
Ever since discovering Wine Sword Immortal, he had been scheming, with no matter the origin of the Five Elemental Beads, they all contained terrifying power. To him, it was a treasure.
Two days later.
A melodious erhu sounded, echoing among the mountains, making people tear up and feel heartbroken. Soon after, a sword qi soared to the sky, sweeping across the heavens.
“They’re all here!” Jiang Ming was invigorated, swiftly traversing the void.
He hadn’t gone to the Great Wilderness Domain just so he could watch the battle between the two.
Within moments, he landed on a mountain ridge, where two people stood in front of him, one in a blue shirt playing an erhu, the other in a grey robe with silver hair and a white beard, looking vigorous.
Nameless couldn’t help but shake his head.
This was a shocking talent that struck him to the core, making him observe and comprehend it even without carefully deducing it.
With one swift move, he chased after them.
“Sword Eleven, Light and Darkness Great Boundless Realm!”
When Jiang Ming’s sword struck, it transformed into a domain of sword skills, merging with the Heavenly Phenomenon Pressure like a terrifying domain binding, suppressing, and imprisoning people.
The Sword Master hesitated for a moment.
He controlled the Heavenly Phenomenon Power and broke free with a single sword.
The two fought in the wind and clouds, reaching the sky, with their Sword Qi fluctuations spreading a hundred miles away.
“Amazing swordsmanship!” The Sword Master said with emotion, “Every sword carries a special Dao Resonance, the path of light and darkness, the technique of space, and even the sword of life and death that makes my vitality involuntarily fade, almost unable to suppress.”
“You’re not bad either!”
Jiang Ming responded.
His blood was boiling even more, and his fighting spirit soared.
Although he was being suppressed, it was far from the invincible feeling when he faced Di Shitian.
“Sword Eighteen, The Ultimate Point without Edge!”
Jiang Ming’s sword intent changed, and the Ultimate Point realm merged into it. In an instant, he seemed to transform into a point with sharpness that could pierce anything.
The extreme point of sharpness.
Like a fleeting light, similar to a shadow.
In just a blink, he closed in, causing the Sword Master’s pupils to shrink as he rapidly retreated, hovering in mid-air, and the Sword Qi in his body roared out, even more so inciting a Primordial Qi Storm to block it.
Boom...
The power exploded, triggering endless torrents, and directly shattering the mountain peaks under their feet. The rampant Sword Qi tore apart countless trees at the foot of the mountain.
“What a terrifying sword!” The Sword Master looked at the blood oozing from his finger and revealed an emotional expression.
His arm trembled.
If you were at the Heavenly Human Realm, that sword just now could have killed me!” The Sword Master’s expression turned grave.
If it was a spear instead...” His eyes were cold, “I’m afraid my arm wouldn’t be safe. I never thought that the Martial Art Celestial Phenomena Realm would be so terrifying. I thought the only one in the realm of swordsmanship who could compare to me was Nameless. But I didn’t expect you to be so stunning; I’m no match for you!”
Then take another sword from me!” Jiang Ming continued to strike without stopping, pointing his sword tip diagonally towards the sky and shouted, “One Sword Opening the Heavens!”
With his sword technique, he merged the Dimension Creation Realm.
Although it was not as terrifying as the Heaven creation skill, when the sword technique unfolded, it made the Sword Master’s pupils shrink, feeling a horrifying sensation.
The Twenty-second Sword!”
The Sword Master no longer held back, and finally unleashed his full power, controlling the pressure that fell violently, only to be parted by Jiang Ming’s single sword.
The sky dome was split in half.
The boundless Sword Qi collided, ultimately dissipating into nothingness.
However, a mountain peak in the distance was silently split in half.
“The Twenty-third Sword!” The Sword Master pointed his sword, his brow glowed with light, and within a hundred meters, everything suddenly stagnated.
The air stood still, and the dust hung suspended.
Within the range, a forbidden area was formed, as if time had stopped, even Jiang Ming’s body was forcibly frozen by a terrifying force.
Only the Sword Master’s fingertip sword transformed into an afterimage, attacking Jiang Ming’s brow.
“This is the power of space!”
“Combined with Soul Power!
In a fraction of a second, Jiang Ming made a judgment, his internal Qi madly circulated, his blood roiled, and his soul power urged.
In an instant, the three forces converged as one, powerfully breaking the restraint, but the Sword Master’s attack had already arrived at Jiang Ming’s brow..
