Chapter 5, Nuclear Bomb Sword Immortal

Xiang Qi displayed a look of disdain: "Has the brain really been damaged?"

Zhen Chanzi sighed: "This person is indeed remarkable; he must be a wise ruler of his generation"

Just now, those few Mahayana... the carefree cultivators also mentioned the Heavenly Sword. This Heavenly Sword is a type of standardized magical treasure

Go!

When the contemporary sects of the current law engaged in a great battle with the ancient law forces, some practitioners of the ancient law defected. Among them were those with shallow cultivation and weak resolve, whom we endeavored to assist in converting to the current law. However, there were also some profound practitioners whose methods had become entrenched. We could not kill them, yet we could not allow them to grow stronger either, so we sealed them away to the mortal realm to become rulers. Their descendants thus became practitioners of the ancient law, tacitly accepted by the current law's celestial path.

Wang Qi Da Qi: "Xiaoyao? Today's classification of realms is different from that of ancient times—this is not the main point. The main point is that to be willing to use four Xiaoyao cultivators to encircle and kill one, it proves that the Immortal Alliance either has no formidable external enemies or that today's Xiaoyao cultivators have become worthless. However, Xiaoyao corresponds to the Great Ascension in the past system, which should be the highest realm of cultivation today"

Li Ziye nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

The brilliance of the Heavenly Sword was exceedingly dazzling, almost blinding Wang Qi's eyes. Yet, the tremendous force of this sword clashed with the flowing light in complete silence

... ...

Li Ziye nodded slightly: "Indeed, the Unrestrained Daoist is known for his most mysterious movement technique under heaven and on earth; even if a deity were to come, they would not be able to catch him"

Wang Qi finally understood that it was not the sky that had shattered, but rather a translucent membrane that had suddenly appeared above his head; what had just broken was that membrane, not the sky.

Li Ziye also shook his head: "Today, the path to enlightenment cannot be achieved merely through scheming—what? Be cautious!"

This is basically the Xianxia version of the Manhattan Project! Do you really understand what you are holding in your hands, you nuclear bomb sword immortals!

Since he has lived in the same village as the Unpermitted Daoist for five years without discovering each other, it follows that the means of the Unpermitted Daoist must be superior to his own. Over the past few years, he has repeatedly released his spiritual awareness and even taught Wang Qi the art of cultivation, all of which must have been observed by the Unpermitted Daoist.

The history of cultivating immortals spans 80,000 years, during which the imperial family of the Divine Land stands as the most powerful sect, and many nobles and aristocrats belong to the cultivation families, making such matters quite normal

Xiang Qi sneered: "You really think today's cultivators are fools, wanting to raise rice weevils?"

However, in the end, the war initiated by the German Emperor unexpectedly swept across the world. For some unknown reason, he was able to persuade the elusive Daoist, Master Haisenbao from the Mysterious Palace, and the Divine Lord Xuyan, Aohai'en from the Burning Gold Valley, among others, to join his side

Even with the reaction speed of a Golden Elixir cultivator like Li Ziye, he was at a loss in the face of such a problem. He was momentarily stunned. However, if Li Ziye felt as if he had been struck by lightning, then Wang Qi felt as though he had been struck by the legendary tribulation lightning of the flying immortals for three days and three nights

Zhen Chanzi sneered: "Are you skilled in the art of persuasion? Stop wasting good words! If you were truly skilled in persuasion, how could it be that over a hundred people in Dabaicun regard you as a joke?"

A beam of sword light silently flew out from the sword box, hovering above Li Ziye's head, and suddenly, a brilliant radiance erupted

This fellow has always been known for saying strange things. Zhen Chanzi interjected into the conversation between the two: "He has always found sitting in meditation and practicing qi to be the most tedious of tasks. If it were not for the ultimate goal of attaining immortality, he would never engage in it. However, if he encounters something interesting, he must delve into it and enjoy it to the fullest. He now generally feels that the methods of today are far more interesting than those of ancient times"

Li Ziye's finger technique guided the celestial sword, which emitted a dazzling light akin to that of the sun, and then struck towards that streak of flowing light

Li Ziye shook his head: "The Heavenly Sword is indeed a type of flying sword, but it is somewhat special. If you two do not mind the tedium, I will start from the beginning, is that alright?"

Since the methods of the law today do not tightly bind resources, then with my adeptness and grace, it is not impossible for me to steadily cultivate and achieve immortality

Li Ziye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "You flatter me, old sir. If I were to rely on my gambling skills, it would not be difficult to defeat a practitioner of the ancient method of Yuan Ying. However, I certainly do not possess the explosive power of the ancient method of Fen Shen. That strike just now was entirely due to the power of the Heavenly Sword in my hand."

Zhen Chanzi sighed: "Isn't this the part that interests you the most? You've been silent since just now, haven't you?"

Zhen Chanzi is not someone who dislikes speaking; he is merely concerned that if he reveals the secrets of his existence, other cultivators might ambush Wang Qi to seize the jade ring. If the jade ring were to fall into the hands of a virtuous person, it would be acceptable, but if it were taken by a wicked person, Zhen Chanzi would truly be facing irreparable consequences. However, since the two individuals before him are already aware of his existence, he no longer feels the need to be pretentious.

Xiang Qi also looked at Li Ziye, clearly curious about this level of divine power

Then, the light on Li Ziye's Heavenly Sword began to spread, slowly diffusing across the entire sky. Subsequently, a crack inexplicably appeared in the heavens, gradually expanding. ... Finally, amidst Wang Qi's astonished gaze, the sky, which had been dyed golden, shattered with a loud noise, revealing ... . ... the original color of the sky

Ah?

Zhen Chanzi's tone was somewhat dejected: "You brat, you clearly only possess the magical power of the Golden Core stage, yet you can unleash attacks at the Nascent Soul stage... Perhaps I really am getting old..."

Li Ziye's expression suddenly changed dramatically, and he struck the sword box on his back with his right hand: "Heavenly Sword! Draw!"

Wang Qi is also greatly interested in this strange world and will naturally not oppose it

Li Ziye continued: "The German Emperor knows that he cannot withstand any of the carefree ones of the current law by relying solely on himself. If the identity of the demonic cultivator is exposed, the Unforgiving Daoist will not spare him first. This German Emperor is quite remarkable, actually inciting the Unforgiving Daoist and others to forge a world-destroying demonic weapon for him! Among the sects of the current law, the Guanghua Palace and the Piaomiao Palace can be considered two branches that originate differently yet converge in the end. Although the foundational practices of the two families are different, they can communicate at a profound level. Therefore, there is considerable exchange between the two sects, and the foundation of that world-destroying demonic weapon is the carefree one from Guanghua Palace, a creation of the Great One, Ai Citan!"

Xiang Qi shook his head: "Later, he revealed his identity as a practitioner of the demonic path. It turned out that he had somehow obtained an ancient demonic scripture, and he was willing to disrupt the world, using the chaos of the times and the grievances of the people to enhance his cultivation."

As he left the village, he extensively released his spiritual awareness and discovered the four later carefree individuals, and thus, those four must have also noticed him

The Great Matrix Heaven Diagram, the innate treasure of the Unpermitted Daoist. Li Ziye appeared to be filled with trepidation: "Many years ago, my predecessor from the Ten Thousand Methods Sect summarized the complex methods into a single system and created a mathematical technique known as the Return to Matrix Technique, which can unify all methods into one matrix. In the past, the Unpermitted Daoist used the Return to Matrix Technique to decipher a layer of the Heavenly Dao. This layer of the Heavenly Dao, when combined with a third-order matrix, can refine all methods and channel the magical power back into that matrix, which is extremely terrifying! — I wonder how the battle just now concluded." This layer of the Heavenly Dao, when combined with a third-order matrix, can refine all methods and channel the magical power back into that matrix, which is extremely terrifying! — I wonder how the battle just now concluded.

According to Zhen Chanzi, a Golden Elixir practitioner can already be considered a being of another level; if they were to descend to the mortal realm, even the emperor would have to show utmost respect. Wang Qi, projecting his own thoughts onto others, felt that it was unreasonable not to experience the pleasure of stepping on faces after achieving the Golden Elixir. However, he did not expect that the first Golden Elixir practitioner he encountered would be so amiable

The true explanation of the Dao: "Both left and right are also without affairs"

Seven hundred years ago, there was a dynasty known as Da De. The emperor of that era, Xi, was an ambitious individual. He not only simplified the royal martial arts and promoted them among the soldiers, but also, through his own eloquence and political skills, brought high-level cultivators under his command. Other countries followed suit, resulting in a temporary loss of control over the mortal realm by the path of immortality.

Wang Qi's old slot is stuck in his chest—wow, this setting is a bit bizarre, has Heisenberg in this world even developed matrix mechanics?

Thus, he simply ceased to conceal it, confidently and boldly allocating a portion of his attention to directly observe this carefree battle

"Hmph, still talking about the Great Vehicle." Xiang Qi suddenly interjected, "The Celestial Sovereign of the Free and Unfettered Realm cannot be compared to the so-called ancient method of the Great Vehicle."

Zhen Chanzi angrily said: "It seems that I must blame myself for having told you too much before. Moreover, how do you know that there is no saying about competing for opportunities in cultivating one's family today?"

In his early years, the Supreme One of Taiyi, out of boredom, derived a minor spell from his own cultivation method and pushed it to its limits. At that time, the Supreme One felt that this method was too intense and could only remain at a theoretical level. Unexpectedly, the King of Nuclear Chains, Fei Mi, ultimately cracked this move. However, in the heart of the King, he believed that once this method was employed, it would inevitably backfire on the user, leading to mutual destruction. The sword control technique of the Flowing Cloud Sect provided the possibility for this spell to be activated, while the swordsmanship created by Feng Buwen, known as Star Picking and Moon Gathering, further enhanced this grand spell. Nevertheless, the King remained convinced that this method, once unleashed, would backfire on the user, resulting in mutual destruction. Therefore, the Supreme One of Taiyi urgently sent a letter to the American Emperor. For the sake of all living beings, the American Emperor gathered the remaining cultivators of the Mysterious Palace, the Burning Gold Valley, the Ten Thousand Methods Sect, and the Flowing Cloud Sect to establish the Heavenly Sword Palace to confront the German Emperor.

What is going on? Why has a barrier suddenly appeared?

Zhen Chanzi inquired about the Dao. In his impression, standardized magical treasures are generally not of very high quality

Li Ziye smiled and nodded, affirming: "Indeed. The young brother has some insight."

Wang Qi pointed to the luminous sphere at the edge of the sky— the battlefield of the five Great Ascension cultivators: "I do not understand what the Immortal Alliance is, but from its name, it can be inferred that it is likely a coalition of multiple sects. And to be willing to sacrifice four Great Ascension..."

Then, the light sphere that trapped the wanderer, like a soap bubble, shattered

Wang Qi fixed his gaze on the heavenly sword above Li Ziye's head. It was only upon hearing the call of Zhen Chanzi that he came to his senses: "Senior Li... this heavenly sword of yours... is it called 'Fatty', 'Slim', or 'Little Boy'?"

Just now, he discovered that the unorthodox practitioner had released several semi-transparent rectangular sheets from a treasure that he could not see through, flying towards the luminous sphere. He immediately sensed that something might go wrong and hurriedly alerted Li Ziye, who was the most accomplished cultivator beside him

Unexpectedly, the American imperialist Roche suddenly went mad and died, and the treacherous minister Du seized the throne, intending to monopolize the Heavenly Sword. The Heavenly Sword Palace saw through his conspiracy and widely invited cultivators from all over the world to inquire about the Heavenly Sword. Du sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but later, a cultivator single-handedly annihilated five divisions of the American army. At that time, he was given the nickname "Five Divisions Annihilated," and that was the earlier mentioned Master Qian.

To the onlookers, Wang Qi's smile was truly strange. Xiang Qi couldn't help but nudge Li Ziye with her elbow, saying, "Senior Brother Li, is this kid perhaps insane?"

Zhen Chanzi has been observing this carefree battle

Go

Li Ziye glanced at the uncontrollably laughing Wang Qi and said with a wry smile, "I am not a disciple of the Sun God Pavilion, so I cannot be certain whether there is any issue with my mental state."

"Golden Core!" Wang Qi exclaimed in surprise. He had originally thought that this amiable and unassuming man was at most a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Xiang Qi, but he never expected him to actually be a Golden Core!

Several translucent streams of light shot out from the brilliance of the shattered light sphere, one of which was heading directly towards Wang Qi!

Wang Qi took a deep breath, recalling that Zhen Chanzi had once said that achieving the Golden Elixir and severing the Nascent Soul was nothing but a delusion. He never expected that obtaining the Nascent Soul from Li Ziye would be such an easy task. To what incredible extent has the cultivation of the immortal path developed?

The reactions of the five carefree cultivators were exactly as Zhen Chanzi had anticipated; they temporarily had no time to deal with an ancient method of the Great Vehicle that was at most half-damaged and unable to interfere with the battle situation

The Daoist was not allowed to break free from the confinement using the Great Matrix Celestial Map and managed to escape. The other four pursued him as well. However, his evasive techniques were truly peculiar, and the other four were completely unable to encircle him again

As expected, the spells of the Taoist priest, which were not to be revealed, ultimately still had a trace of residual energy that transformed into flowing light, one of which fell towards Wang Qi's side

Wang Qi continued, "Since there are no external enemies and we have united, it can only indicate that, for today's sect, the benefits of cooperation have surpassed the disputes. The fact that those few carefree cultivators mentioned the old sea turtle, cough, and that the unrestrained Daoist is hiding here due to violating the rules of the Immortal Alliance, suggests that the Immortal Alliance at least has a strong and strict system in place on the surface. This indicates that the cooperation among cultivators today should be long-term, rather than a temporary arrangement for quick gains."

Ahahaha... The old man told me about that nonsense of the immortal way... It's all a load of rubbish... It seems lively with back-and-forth exchanges, but in reality, the practices of cultivation are monotonous and repetitive... Hahaha... Wang Qi was unable to contain his amusement: "In general, it can be described as a group of shrimp, crabs, fish, and frogs fighting for food in a pond that is destined to dry up. Every day is spent seeking 'opportunities for collision'; who loved whom in those days, who knows what has passed."

The Heavenly Sword Palace, leveraging the power of the American Empire, gathered all resources from across the world. After several years, it finally surpassed the German Emperor by a step, forging a formidable weapon capable of unleashing the world-destroying technique of the Supreme Celestial Being. When the Heavenly Sword first emerged, it reached the highest heavens and descended to the Yellow Springs, like the rumble of thunder. Within its four seals, all were compelled to submit and obey its command. Subsequently, the identity of the German Emperor was exposed, and he forbade the Daoists and others from suffering disgrace, bringing the great battle to a close.
