Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 854 - 828 Zi Cong Sword Immortal
Chapter 854: Chapter 828 Zi Cong Sword Immortal
The ancient Sword Immortal mumbled to himself, seemingly lost in endless memories. Tangyu and Qian Shanxue did not dare to interrupt and could only stand there quietly, waiting silently.
Fortunately, the ancient Sword Immortal had a good temperament, making the two feel that their lives were not in danger. Not only that, they might even gain some opportunities.
"The vast heavens and earth, the Supreme Great Dao, the pursuit of the world, only asking whether there are immortals between the heavens and earth, and whether it is possible to escape the sea of suffering in the mortal world. Asking the Daoist Priest about the Immortal Dao, the ultimate freedom? Where can this realm be found?" The ancient Sword Immortal frowned deeply, with a face full of sorrow.
Tangyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Senior, do you not know if there are immortals in this world?"
The ancient Sword Immortal glanced at Tangyu and shook his head, "Since Pangu split the heavens and established the Holy Land, and Nü Wa created her work and taught martial arts cultivation, establishing the Ancient Martial World, it has been the supreme pursuit of generations of cultivators. To say whether there are immortals in this world, I am also searching for the answer. Pangu and Nü Wa are also searching. It is rumored that they have left the Ancient Martial World and gone to other worlds to continue their search. What about other worlds? They are just like our Ancient Martial World, all searching for the immortals."
"What, Pangu and Nü Wa really exist?" Tangyu was greatly surprised; he had always thought these two were mythical figures, but it turned out they really existed.
The ancient Sword Immortal said, "Of course they exist. Pangu and Nü Wa are the founding ancestors of our Ancient Martial World. Without Pangu and Nü Wa, there would be no Ancient Martial World. You also know of the existence of other worlds, like the Dark World. However, opening the gates to other worlds is extremely difficult. Only Pangu and Nü Wa of our Ancient Martial World have achieved it, so they went to other worlds to seek immortality and have never returned. Do immortals exist or not?"
"Perhaps they exist, perhaps they don’t, or perhaps there are higher worlds. But we have no way to seek them out; we simply cannot escape this realm, cannot break through the confines of this world, and cannot find the Path of the Immortals. Therefore, we can only seal ourselves, hoping that one day we can reopen the Path of the Immortals."
Pangu’s heaven, it was actually the Skies Beyond the Skies. Nü Wa’s universal blessing, it was actually the teaching of cultivation techniques.
The concepts in Tangyu’s mind had been completely altered. So, these were not myths. Could it be that other legendary figures also existed? Where did Pangu and Nü Wa go? Did they find the path to immortality?
Tangyu was also very interested in these questions. He also wanted to seek the Path of the Immortals. He said, "May I ask, senior, what is the sealing technique? How could you, senior, make yourself unageing for five thousand years, sealing for five thousand years and still waking up, isn’t this akin to immortality?"
The ancient Sword Immortal glanced at Tangyu, shook his head and said, "Immortality technique? If there were such a technique, one would be an immortal. We Sword Immortals live for only around three hundred years. I have already lived nearly two hundred years. This set of sealing techniques was developed by all of us in the Heavenly Realm together, using the Supreme Sealing Technique to completely seal oneself. Leveraging the power of the Source Stone, it can block time, allowing us to live to this day. However, this Supreme Sealing Technique can only be used once in a lifetime."
"So this time, if we still cannot find the Path of the Immortals, we will dissipate and no longer exist in this world."
Tangyu then felt relieved, "So that’s how it is. In that case, are there many other great powers like you, who have sealed themselves?"
Tangyu and Qian Shanxue were both quite surprised. The ancient Sword Immortal turned out to have the power of the Heavenly Realm. It should be known that even Myriad Saints Valley did not have anyone in the Heavenly Realm, at least Qian Shanxue did not know of anyone in Myriad Saints Valley who was in the Heavenly Realm.
The Heavenly Realm seemed to have long been unreachable, only existing in ancient times.
Suddenly encountering a Heavenly Realm cultivator was indeed terrifying.
What kind of realm was the Heavenly Realm? Probably just a glance could kill them.
The ancient Sword Immortal said, "There are quite a few, but others should not wake up as quickly as I did. I woke up early because you absorbed the Pure Yang Power, triggering my awakening."
Tangyu smiled apologetically, "I beg your pardon, senior."
The ancient Sword Immortal waved his hand and said, "Never mind, this might also be a kind of fate. Since you could enter my secluded area, does that mean someone among you comprehended the Langya Sword Art?"
Tangyu immediately said, "Yes, senior. I was fortunate enough to comprehend some of it and was chased by corpses, so I hid in here, not intending to disturb you, senior."
The ancient Sword Immortal’s gaze fell on Tangyu and he nodded slightly, with a hint of approval, "Not bad. You have excellent roots and are of the Pure Yang Body, your comprehension is exceptionally rare. Even in ancient times, you would definitely be a disciple with potential. Cultivate well, and in the future, you can also become a Sword Immortal like me."
"Senior flatters me. I will definitely strive diligently," Tangyu nodded. In his heart, he thought that the senior probably knew most of his secrets by now. Could it be that the senior also knew about his Master? However, seeing that he had no reaction, could it be that his Master’s power was not as great as this senior?
But Tangyu had a strange feeling in his heart, always feeling that in terms of aura, this ancient Sword Immortal senior was not as good as his Master.
Are there any other existing Heavenly Realm cultivators in the world now?
Strange, this left Tangyu somewhat puzzled.
The ancient Sword Immortal said, "Since you were fortunate to obtain the inheritance of the Langya Sword Art, you are now the only one besides me to cultivate it. Even though the Langya Skies Beyond the Skies no longer exists, if you are willing, I can take you as a disciple of Langya Skies Beyond the Skies."
Tangyu was immediately overjoyed. Being able to establish a good relationship with a Sword Immortal who had survived from ancient times was undoubtedly an extraordinary opportunity.
"Senior, since I have obtained the inheritance of the Langya Sword Art, why not take me as your disciple? At this point, it’s just the two of us left in Langya Skies Beyond the Skies. You are the sole elder, naturally making you my master." Tangyu said with a bit of shamelessness.
Qian Shanxue also glanced at Tangyu. Faced with such good fortune, anyone would want to become the disciple of the Ancient Sword Immortal. This was a rare and unparalleled opportunity.
The Ancient Sword Immortal looked at Tangyu and shook his head slightly, "You are a disciple of Myriad Saints Valley. I won’t take you as my pupil. You have obtained the Langya Sword Art, continue cultivating it. Langya Skies Beyond the Skies no longer exists, and this power likely won’t reappear. I have been sealed for five thousand years, and now must seek the Immortal Path wholeheartedly. With the opening of the Dark World, I need to explore it and possibly find a way to other realms."
Tangyu immediately said, "Senior, I am only an outer sect disciple of Myriad Saints Valley and have not formally entered the sect. Strictly speaking, I am not considered an official disciple."
The Ancient Sword Immortal waved his hand, "I have no desire to take disciples, so let’s not discuss it further. However, you and I share a deep connection; if you encounter any trouble in the future, you may come to me. You are now the sole inheritor of the Langya Sword Art, and I am reluctant to see you fail to grow."
Although Tangyu was disappointed that he couldn’t become the disciple of the Ancient Sword Immortal, gaining his protection was still a joyful event.
The Ancient Sword Immortal moved, and an ancient-styled sword appeared in his hand, which he handed to Tangyu, "This sword is named Langya, a powerful spiritual artifact from ancient times. Let it be my gift to you. With your current strength, you cannot fully control this sword. Only use it in dire situations, remember."
Filled with joy, Tangyu accepted the Langya Sword, instantly feeling a powerful energy emanating from it. The sword seemed alive, as if trying to break free from his grip. Shocked, Tangyu tightened his grasp and held it firmly.
"Such a powerful sword! Even without being unsheathed, its terrifying sword intent can be felt. If this sword is drawn, who knows what might happen?" This was truly a top-grade treasure, Tangyu couldn’t help but cherish it, storing the Langya Sword away. He felt reassured knowing he had a significant trump card now.
With this sword, he wouldn’t fear ordinary Imaginary Realm opponents, right?
The Ancient Sword Immortal waved his hand again, and a pure yang stone the size of an egg appeared, which he tossed to Tangyu, "I peered into your memory earlier; this is your compensation. I only viewed a portion, not everything, so you needn’t worry that all your secrets were uncovered."
Overjoyed, Tangyu accepted the pure yang stone as if it were a precious gem, quickly putting it away. "Senior, you are too kind. Please feel free to view whatever you wish."
If receiving an egg-sized pure yang stone meant being viewed once by the Ancient Sword Immortal daily, Tangyu would gladly agree. Though small, this stone was priceless, equivalent to tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones.
With this pure yang stone, Tangyu was confident he could significantly elevate his realm in a short time.
The Ancient Sword Immortal said, "Enough, you must not speak of our conversation to anyone."
Tangyu and Qian Shanxue promptly nodded in agreement.
"By the way, senior, I don’t know your dao title," Tangyu said.
The Ancient Sword Immortal replied, "I am Zi Cong, known as Zi Cong Sword Immortal."
"Zi Cong Sword Immortal! The Zi Cong Sword Immortal of ancient times, hailed as the number one Sword Immortal!" Qian Shanxue exclaimed in shock. Although she had her suspicions, hearing it from Zi Cong Sword Immortal himself was still profoundly impactful.
The Ancient Sword Immortal gazed at the corpses with a strange glint in his eyes, sighed softly, and waved his hand, "Rest in peace."
An energy surged forth, enveloping the dozen corpses, robbing them of the last bit of vitality. They collapsed to the ground, truly dead.
The Ancient Sword Immortal solemnly looked at the corpses, then waved his hand, sending out a true fire that incinerated them to ashes instantly.
These corpses were once people of Langya Skies Beyond the Skies, but they couldn’t survive. Now, Langya Skies Beyond the Skies had only him left, a sense of solitude pervaded.
