Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1252 - 163: Annihilation Scroll

Just as Xie Xuanyi was about to turn around.

A leaf, carried by the wind, floated down and landed on his shoulder with a soft tap.

It enlightened his spirit. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Xie Xuanyi’s movement froze, then he slowly turned back.

This brief "murmuring" had delayed quite a bit of time, and the sky outside had already darkened.

The sunlight filtering through the crevices in the rocks was already very dim.

However.

An empty prayer mat, at some unknown time, revealed the broad tall figure clad in a Lotus Robe.

"Master..."

"Master!"

Seeing that figure, Xie Xuanyi was initially stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst with immense delight!

There are many farewells in this world that happen silently.

He was very worried.

That he and his Master might never have the chance to meet again.

"Xuanyi."

Zhao Chunyang smiled, responding with a rich sound.

The old man instinctively shook his head, his eyes filled with a sense of helplessness; although he was in a state of Divine Travel, the calls within the Lotus Peak, he could hear them very clearly.

After all, the only cultivators who could enter this Lotus Forbidden Land were his junior brother and Xuanyi.

Having lived nearly three hundred years.

There were only two people Zhao Chunyang still cared about.

Every call from the Lotus Forbidden Land...

Zhao Chunyang would always respond.

At this moment, this figure, under the dome’s twilight, appeared very vague.

Xie Xuanyi knew.

This was probably a brief recollection in the "Divine Travel" state, similar to a flashback, which wouldn’t last long.

The master of the Divine Travel would soon return to the River of Destiny.

"What you said earlier..."

Zhao Chunyang spoke gently, slowly opening his mouth: "As your Master, I heard it all. I knew about Xiao Lian’s matters a bit earlier than you. If you’re going to the Demon Country, be careful."

The wind rustled the fallen leaves around the prayer mat.

This sentence gave Xie Xuanyi immense strength.

The light is there, the wind is there...

And so, Zhao Chunyang is there.

"Master, are you okay?"

At this moment, Xie Xuanyi desired nothing else.

He quickly spoke up, wanting to know whether his Master’s Divine Travel was smooth and if there was anything he could do to help?

"Thanks to you, as your Master... everything is well."

Zhao Chunyang smiled again.

His garment fluttered in the wind, billowing like waves.

The void trembled.

Xie Xuanyi faintly sensed the overwhelming Sword Intent emanating through the void...

The power of the Sword Origin River was truly astonishing.

Even if it was just a wisp of soul thought.

It still caused this "Ten Heroes" to feel a constant shock in his Heart Lake.

But the next moment.

Xie Xuanyi’s pupils contracted.

Because he noticed... Zhao Chunyang’s Lotus Robe was stained with blood!

"You... were hurt?"

Xie Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, speaking incredulously.

"A small injury."

Zhao Chunyang was calm, but he did not deny it.

This was really something hard to believe... with his Master’s Heavenly Cultivation, he would be injured?

The opponent... was also in the Heavenly Human Realm?

Xie Xuanyi looked intently.

He noticed... that there was a familiar aura on the Lotus Lake Robe.

On it, there wasn’t just his Master’s blood.

There was also golden blood, radiating Buddha’s light!

And the faint Primordial Energy of the Taoist Treasure Technique!

"At the end of the River of Destiny, an ultimate battle is ongoing."

Zhao Chunyang looked at Xie Xuanyi, lowered his head, gazing at the bloodstains on his robe, and spoke with a smile.

He understood his disciple all too well...

Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake Sensing was very acute, and besides that, his observation skills were world-class.

The traces of this world are hard to escape Xie Xuanyi’s detection.

Since he chose to "meet," the matter of the bloodstains... wasn’t something to be hidden.

"The opponent in this battle is very formidable."

Zhao Chunyang shook his sleeve, feigning ease, saying: "As you see, a few of us old folks, by a stroke of fate, gathered together, expending great effort, temporarily joining forces to complete a seal... hoping this seal can change the course of the River of Destiny."

"?!"

Inside Xie Xuanyi, a mighty wave surged.

If he wasn’t mistaken.

The bloodstains on his Master’s Lotus Robe belonged to three people, besides him, there were... a Zen Master, and Xiao Yaozi!

These three top-tier experts managed to gather in the River of Destiny, joining forces against their foes—

Whom were they facing at this moment?

"No need to worry..."

The elder in the Lotus Robe lifted his hand, a wisp of water vapor swirling in his palm.

He smiled, saying: "Thanks to your Undying Spring, this battle can last a very long, long time..."

Xie Xuanyi’s expression turned extremely serious.

"Master, the opponent in this battle..."

He asked with utter seriousness: "Who is it?"

"..."

Facing this question, Zhao Chunyang didn’t respond.

The elder in the Lotus Robe, at this moment still wore a smile, but firmly shook his head, indicating refusal.

Some Heavenly Secrets.

Cannot be divulged.

As a free traveler of the River of Destiny with a Great Divine Power, he was keenly aware of the dire consequences of altering it.

This kind of response.

Made the certainty in Xie Xuanyi’s mind about his suspicion falter.

His first thought, was about a certain character.

Only...

With that person’s cultivation, realm, creation...

Could they really achieve the "feat" of fighting against three in the River of Destiny?

This person, of course, was Lu Yuzhen.

Xie Xuanyi recalled the scene of their last encounter, and doubt crept into his heart.

The last meeting was about half a year ago.

At that time, Lu Yuzhen still had ample respect for the name "Zhao Chunyang," just seeing him take out the Lotus Token, immediately controlled his Qi to leave, not daring to say a word... In the Lotus Forbidden Land battle, the Paper Taoist learned the might of the Sword Origin River, knowing full well the vast gap between himself and Zhao Chunyang, like clouds and mud.

If they were to encounter each other again, even for a moment, he would be crushed into powder by Zhao Chunyang.

Even though...

Lu has the [Daoist Brush], can traverse the River of Destiny, can draw nourishment from the Petal World as Cause and Effect.

But in the end, it’s hard to imagine challenging these three alone, right?

"Xuanyi."

Zhao Chunyang returned to Lotus Peak during a pause in the battle.

He wasn’t there for pleasantries with Xie Xuanyi, of course.

He looked at his beloved disciple and spoke solemnly: "The great calamity is approaching... Do you still remember what I said to you earlier?"

What Zhao Chunyang said.

Every word and sentence.

Xie Xuanyi remembered it all in his Heart Lake.

But at this moment, he looked bewildered, not knowing which sentence his Master referred to.

"In this life, walk a little slower, and you’ll see more of the scenery."

Zhao Chunyang looked at Xie Xuanyi with some pity, his eyes full of heartache.

He spoke words with a completely opposite meaning, even somewhat contradicting.

The former phrase revealed the impending calamity.

The latter phrase...

But urged him to walk slower?

A sudden strong wind blew.

The fluttering black robe, under the harsh wind, quickly turned dim.

Zhao Chunyang spoke again.

"And..."

He uttered a shocking phrase again.

"The Annihilation Scroll, is real."

...
