Myriad Daos of the Heaven
Chapter 203 - 201: Come and Try
Dragon Roaming the World, Illusion Annihilation; True Dragon Incarnation, True Selfâs Fierce Might! đ§đâŻâŻđ¤âŻđŁđâ´đđđ.đđ°đ
This was a complete, exclusive Sword Skill of the Ancient Wandering Dragon Holy Sword. With Jiang Jichenâs current Realm, it was naturally impossible for him to execute it.
He was currently only demonstrating its form, not using any Spiritual Power.
Even though Snowplum was from the Ancient Era, she only understood half of the Wandering Dragon Holy Swordâs secrets. For instance, she only knew half of its exclusive Sword Technique.
She only had a vague understanding of the second half, and it wasnât enough for her to perform it.
But when Jiang Jichen spoke the complete Wandering Dragon Holy Sword Technique and demonstrated it from the side, Snowplum immediately understood.
Now, following "Dragon Roaming the World, Illusion Annihilation," she also executed "True Dragon Incarnation, True Selfâs Fierce Might!"
Watching from afar, once Jiang Jichen saw Snowplum unleash this technique, he knew everything was settled. The old monk was doomed to fail.
Just as he expected, the Holy Sword in Snowplumâs hand transformed into a golden divine dragon that soared into the air. After sweeping away all the Buddha Light, it sent the old monk flying. His Demon Suppressing Vajra Sword was also knocked away, vanishing into the endless Void.
âWhat is that kidâs background? Even Snowplum doesnât know the complete exclusive Sword Skill of the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword, so how could he? No, wait. Just now, my Eye of Truth saw some terrifying things!â
The old monk ignored his injuries, even the blood streaming from his eyes, and once again shot two beams of divine light toward Jiang Jichen.
BOOM!
This time, the old monk poured all his effort into it, and in that instant, he finally saw through Jiang Jichenâs seal. But immediately after, his vision was filled with an endless Seven-Colored Spiritual Light. The brilliance far surpassed the divine light from his Eye of Truth, and his eyes were directly blinded.
"This... How is this possible? Seven-Color..."
However, before the old monk could finish, a Sword Light resembling a wandering dragon had already slashed across his neck.
PSH!
The old monkâs head was severed. His body exploded, becoming Void.
There, Snowplum stood with her sword in hand and said, "I told you, he wouldnât get to lay a finger on you!"
"Uh...!"
Jiang Jichen looked at the incomparably domineering Snowplum, truly at a loss for words.
But it was a good thing she had acted in time. Otherwise, the secret of his Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein might have gotten back to the Buddha Realm.
Seeing Jiang Jichenâs silence, Snowplumâs boisterous demeanor vanished, and she said with some bashfulness, "Still, itâs a good thing I had the second half of your Wandering Dragon Holy Swordâs exclusive Sword Skill. So... I guess this lady owes you a favor."
"The sword..."
Jiang Jichen didnât care about favors. All he wanted was his Wandering Dragon Holy Sword back, so he spoke up to ask for the Holy Sword.
"Mine!"
However, this time Snowplum answered without a momentâs hesitation.
"But..."
Jiang Jichen couldnât believe that someone of Snowplumâs Realm, a lofty and superior figure, could be such a scoundrel. He was about to argue.
"Mine!"
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Snowplum was already hugging the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword tightly, as if afraid he would snatch it away.
Well, what else could Jiang Jichen say?
A peerless master was hugging your sword, shamelessly claiming it as her own. Could you really try to take it by force?
Besides, with the Barrier between them, Jiang Jichen couldnât even enter the Buddha Hall.
His only hope was for Snowplum to return the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword of her own accord.
In the end, Jiang Jichen could only say sullenly, "I get it."
Hearing his words, Snowplum laughed like a young girl. "Thatâs more like it! Why are you being so petty? Itâs just one Holy Sword. If I werenât stuck in this Illusion World and didnât have a great use for it, I wouldnât even want this broken old sword if you offered it to me!"
âThe Wandering Dragon Holy Sword, one of the Seven Ancient Holy Swords, was just called a broken old sword? Fine,â Jiang Jichen thought, âIâll just forgive myself for my own ignorance and shallow experience!â
He didnât want to dwell on the matter of the Holy Sword any longer. In his eyes, it was already a foregone conclusion. So he asked, "Illusion World? Whatâs going on here?"
Hearing Jiang Jichenâs question, Snowplumâs mood suddenly plummeted. With immense sorrow, she said, "You have no idea how bitter and miserable my life has been. If you heard my story, you would surely weep, sigh with a million emotions, and feel boundless sympathy for me! You would definitely..."
"Get to the point!"
Jiang Jichen had never met such a chatty peerless master. With a dark expression, he had no choice but to cut her off.
Being interrupted, Snowplum said unhappily, "Itâs just that I havenât spoken to anyone for so many years, Iâm just too lonely, you know? Itâs rare to find someone to ramble on to, and whatâs with your attitude? You..."
Snowplum was about to continue, but seeing Jiang Jichenâs face grow darker and darker, she finally changed her tune. "Fine, Iâll stop teasing you!"
And so, this time, Snowplum began to quietly narrate her past. "One hundred thousand years ago, I had already attained the status of a Female Bodhisattva. However, I discovered that the path I cultivated was one of illusion, not the path of seeking my true self. So, I destroyed my Bodhisattva Platform and half-descended into the Demon Dao, hoping to use it to comprehend the way of my true heart. But at that moment, a group of bald donkeys calling themselves True Buddhas declared I was an Anti-Buddhist who had to be suppressed and killed. They tricked me into this ancient temple and trapped me in the Buddha Hall Illusion Realm. Naturally, a great battle broke out. I killed almost all of the bald donkeys, but I was also broken apart by that pack of True Buddhas. Half of my true consciousness was sealed in my Blood Tower, while the other half was cast in here. And if I want to get out, I need to use power from the real world to annihilate everything hereâlike that old bald donkey from before, and this entire Buddha Hall Illusion Realm."
A quiet Snowplum was truly a perfect woman. Her every word and action exuded a breathtaking beauty that left Jiang Jichen somewhat dazed. It even made him involuntarily think of the lovely figure sealed away in his heart.
However, after hearing her story, he now roughly understood the situation.
To put it simply, Snowplum needed to use the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword to kill the old monk and destroy the Buddha Hall Illusion Realm. Then she could achieve the Fusion of her Divine Thought, activate the Blood Tower, and only then would she be truly free to leave this place.
Snowplum walked to the edge of the Barrier and asked Jiang Jichen, "So? Do you understand now?"
Jiang Jichen sighed and thought, âSuch a perfect-looking woman, but what a shame sheâs such a chatterbox.â
He responded seriously, "So, in other words, youâre already one hundred thousand years old?"
"You... One hundred thousand my ass! Do you even know how to talk to people? I, Snowplum, am in my prime, beautiful as a flower, with looks that could topple nations! Iâm known as the number one beauty in the entire universe! What kind of eyes do you have? What is wrong with you people?"
Hearing Jiang Jichenâs words, Snowplum shrieked as if someone had stepped on her tail.
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Jichen smiled faintly. "I know everything you said is true. But if I hadnât said that, would your mood have improved? Hmm, when youâve lived for so long, you need a little something to spice up your life!"
Hearing his words, she was suddenly struck by a realization. After her little outburst, her mood really had improved quite a bit.
âSheâs lived for so long, yet sheâs so naive. No wonder she got tricked!â
Of course, he didnât dare say this out loud. After all, his Realm and strength were on a completely different level from Snowplumâs.
"Hee hee... I never wouldâve thought that even though youâre so young, you know quite a lot. Youâre quite the smooth talker, arenât you? So... do you think Iâm beautiful?"
Snowplum asked, her smile like a blossoming flower, her tone filled with a startling allure.
"You are! So what?"
Jiang Jichen swallowed hard.
"If you think Iâm beautiful, and youâre such a smooth talker, why donât you try wooing me?"
Snowplum said, her words as shocking as ever.
