Longevity: Sweeping Across the World as an Eunuch

Chapter 251: Chapter 132: Daoist Technique: One Sword

Even though everything the other person said was true, this was the first time he had ever been so thoroughly defeated!

"Heh heh!"

"A Nine-Life Celestial Pride, are you."

"You! How dare you humiliate the future Captain of my Great Li Sword Sect like this. Since it has come to this, don’t blame me for using my higher cultivation to bully you!"

"The Great Li Sword Technique, is it!"

"I know it too!"

"Now I’ll let you witness the true splendor of this sword!"

A furious laugh sped in from the distance.

Just a moment ago, he was a thousand li away. By the time his words faded, the speaker had already arrived. Dressed in fluttering white robes and standing atop a silver Giant Sword that cast a massive shadow, he descended upon the abandoned residence.

His terrifying aura pressed down on the surroundings, with no intention of being concealed.

He was, in fact, a False Core Cultivator!

In that instant, a dazzling Sword Pill appeared in the False Core Cultivator’s hand. It pulsed with green and white Qi before shattering into ten thousand points of starlight. In a flash, each point of light transformed into a terrifying Flying Sword.

In that moment, tens of thousands of Flying Swords stood poised in the sky, howling like a torrential downpour. They faintly emanated the power of a Sword Array as they shot toward Su Chen, who was inside the ten-thousand-zhang Primordial Qi Pillar, aiming to obliterate him.

Within Su Chen’s body, Sword Intent also erupted.

Two Sword Immortals were clashing!

The terrifying auras pressed down on the surroundings, far beyond what the young cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm present could withstand.

Now, even the False Core Cultivator’s eyes showed a hint of amazement.

’He just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he can already clash with a False Core cultivator! This Nine-Life Celestial Pride is truly extraordinary.’

And so, he made an offer.

"Nine-Life Celestial Pride, as long as you join our Great Li Sword Sect, your earlier offense can be forgiven..."

"Otherwise!"

"You can just leave your life here."

As he spoke, his eyes turned vicious, full of menace.

The thousands of Flying Swords converged into a Mad Dragon that seemed to let out a roar. The power of the Great Li Sword Technique surged again, more than tripling, even managing to extinguish the Sword Intent erupting from Su Chen and tear off a corner of his robe.

In response, Su Chen smiled.

’What is he smiling about?’

The Daoists present didn’t understand.

But in the next moment, they understood.

Facing the Mad Dragon of Flying Swords that pressed down upon the world, a hundred zhang tall, Su Chen broke off a peach tree branch. With a smile on his lips, he looked at the False Core Cultivator from the Great Li Sword Sect and praised him.

"The Great Li Sword Technique is truly extraordinary. It secretly contains methods of Artifact Refining and the transformations of the Array Dao, controlling over ten thousand Flying Swords. No wonder it can be ranked as the best of the three great Sword Control Skills!"

"I, too, have had an epiphany."

"I have the prototype of a sword move. I would ask my Fellow Daoist for some pointers."

"Oh, by the way, my Daoist Technique is called One Sword!"

Su Chen was smiling.

After observing the three great Sword Control Skills, he had finally reached an understanding. This fourth sword had achieved something; at the very least, its prototype and foundation were established.

"Is he crazy?!"

"How dare he provoke a False Core Cultivator?"

"Does he really think he’s a True Core Giant?!"

This action stunned the Foundation Establishment disciples present.

First Realm, First Heaven.

A False Core is still a Core.

At the very least, it far surpassed the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Good!"

"So you’re underestimating a False Core, are you."

The False Core Cultivator from the Great Li Sword Sect was also enraged. With True Fire in his eyes, he slammed his hands downward. The Mad Dragon formed from ten thousand Flying Swords immediately descended, rampaging down to execute Su Chen.

"It’s over."

"What a pity. This astonishingly talented Nine-Life Celestial Pride is going to fall just after reaching Foundation Establishment."

Someone couldn’t bear to watch and closed their eyes.

But in the next moment, Su Chen swung his sword.

The sword strike seemed ordinary, yet it held the dazzling brilliance of the Profound Celestial Sect’s Wind Swordsmanship and the wanton fury of the Killing Sword Technique—a single strike that harms both the enemy and oneself. It also incorporated the Artifact Refining and Array Dao transformations of the Great Li Sword Sect’s Sword Formulas.

The splendor of this sword strike could be clearly perceived even with one’s eyes closed.

And so, everyone stared at this sword strike in shock.

This Nine-Life Celestial Pride had actually fused all three great Sword Control Skills into this single strike.

In the next instant, an even more incredible scene occurred.

The Mad Dragon of Sword Qi was completely annihilated.

BOOM!

High in the sky, the False Core Cultivator let out a wretched scream. The sword strike had landed on him, slamming him into the dust, his fate unknown.

"What?"

"A False Core... was defeated!"

This time, they were truly at a loss.

In the Eastern Domain.

Defeating a False Core cultivator while at the Foundation Establishment Realm was rare, but not unheard of. However, it was usually achieved by those at Foundation Establishment Perfection, or at best, the Foundation Establishment Post Realm.

But they could see clearly.

The person before them had only just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm; he was merely at the Initial Realm.

"Defeating a False Core with a single sword strike at the Initial Realm."

"At Perfection!"

"Wouldn’t he have to kill a Core Formation Great Cultivator to mark his achievements?"

They stared with wide eyes, trying to find the Nine-Life Celestial Pride, but the abandoned residence was empty. The ten-thousand-zhang Primordial Qi Pillar was slowly fading, and there was no trace of the Nine-Life Celestial Pride to be found.

He was gone.

Seeing the Nine-Life Celestial Pride leave, this group of Celestial Prides actually felt relieved.

After all, the light radiating from him was too dazzling, suffocating them.

「On this day.」

The Eastern Domain was shaken.

A Nine-Life Celestial Pride, a ten-thousand-zhang pillar of light—it was unprecedented. What’s more, he had defeated a False Core cultivator with a single sword strike. He instantly became the most talked-about figure in the Eastern Domain, his name known to all, his fame skyrocketing.

The Five Great Sects all declared that they would undoubtedly recruit the Nine-Life Celestial Pride into their ranks.

He could name any price!

However, for more than ten days, there was no sign of the Nine-Life Celestial Pride.

「At this time, in the Library Pavilion.」

The Nine-Life Celestial Pride that the entire Eastern Domain was searching for was currently bent over like an old farmer, harvesting the budding Spirit Medicines in his medicinal field.

In that instant, the Longevity Blood he had accumulated for a long time poured into the budding Spirit Medicines. In a flash, these Spirit Medicines began to grow wildly.

Before long, the fragrance of Spiritual Qi filled the Book Collection Martial Pavilion.

In Su Chen’s hands.

Three of the Spirit Medicines failed to mature and turned to black ash.

The other three were clearly Dragon Blood Grass, Soul Nourishing Flower, and Immortal Burial Vine. All were a hundred years old, top-grade poisonous herbs. Even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Post Realm would die on the spot after consuming them.

Su Chen was concocting a Secret Medicine he had seen in an Ancient Book.

According to legend, it could dissolve a Golden Core.

’Of the three Demon Children of the Extreme Cultivators, two are dead and one has fled. The last one will return to the Daqi Imperial Palace sooner or later. When he does, he might bring the main force of the Extreme Cultivators with him. I should prepare in advance.’

"The Celestial Dao of this Mountain Sea Realm is quite troublesome."

"It sends down calamities at the drop of a hat."

Su Chen muttered, pouring the Spirit Medicine ashes into the medicinal field as fertilizer.

At this moment, a Pocket-sized Sword adorned with the sun, moon, and stars was slowly circling in his palm like a Sword Pill.

This was the Lifebound Dao Skill that Su Chen had condensed within the ten-thousand-zhang pillar of light.

Although it was still a prototype!

It was already very powerful.

It absolutely far surpassed the three great Sword Control Skills.

He just didn’t know how it compared to the even more powerful three great Killing Dao Skills.

Su Chen was confident.

Once his Lifebound One Sword was fully formed, it would undoubtedly become the most terrifying Foundation Establishment Dao Skill in the Eastern Domain. Even the three great Killing Dao Skills would be no match for it.

Just as Su Chen was about to continue tilling the soil,

BOOM!

A terrifyingly loud noise exploded over the Daqi Imperial City.

「Today.」

The new generation’s Guardian Immortal Master sent by the Profound Celestial Sect had finally arrived.

However, it seemed his arrival was not a smooth one.

"Hahaha!"

"The killer is I, Gushan Jue."

"All who betray Void must die! No one can escape!"

A maniacal laugh echoed across the Daqi Imperial City. With his black hair whipping wildly, the demonically crazed Gushan Jue laughed as he strode away through the air, watched by the hundred thousand creatures of the Imperial City. A bloody head hung from his waist.

It was none other than this mission’s Guardian Immortal Master!

Even though this Guardian Foundation Establishment cultivator was already at Foundation Establishment Perfection, he had still died at Gushan Jue’s hands.

「Meanwhile, in the Book Collection Martial Pavilion.」

Su Chen was still looking into the distance. A mere Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator was not even worthy of his attention.

His true focus was on the Fallen Flying Vessel, on the disciples the Guardian Immortal Master had brought with him. The Longevity Fire on one of them felt exceptionally familiar.

That was a Core Formation cultivator!

Soul Void Master!

However, Soul Void Master had come alone, not with the large force Su Chen had anticipated.

The Flying Vessel had fallen.

Soul Void Master, his face grim, snuck into the Imperial Palace. He was searching everywhere for something and even left a mark, intending for Ghost Face to rendezvous with him.

Soon, Su Chen appeared at the Palace Gate, looking thoughtfully at the contact symbol left there.

"It seems..."

"Ghost Face, in order to increase his bargaining chips, didn’t tell the other Extreme Cultivators where the secret place is."

"So, now I’m the only one who knows!"

There wasn’t much he could do.

’At least... Zhuo, from my World in the Palm, is an old acquaintance.’

’I have to get his body back!’

The Tree Whiskers stirred.

In the next instant.

Su Chen vanished. In his place stood the cackling, still-living Ghost Face.
