Chapter 123 - Golden Invincibility, Sword Qi from the Eyes
Chapter 123: Golden Invincibility, Sword Qi from the Eyes
The revelation of higher grades of the Legendary sword?
Zhou Xuanji began waiting in anticipation.
The little black snake suddenly crawled up the tree and spat his forked-tongue. There were two bumps on its head, which made him look more and more terrifying.
“Master, I have a request.”
He spoke sincerely but kept its distance from Zhou Xuanji.
With this distance, Zhou Xuanji would not be able to hit him with his sword.
A sword suddenly appeared in Zhou Xuanji’s hands, and it was the Falling Petal. The little black snake immediately dashed down the tree and ran away.
He looked at the little black snake with suspicion, before returning his focus on the Falling Petal.
This sword was gold in color. Numerous patterns were carved onto the blade, which, when vibrating, looked like countless flower petals falling.
Three lines of words appeared before his eyes:
Sword Name: Falling Petals
Grade: Golden
Description: Falling Petals. Its sword Qi forms into an incredibly alluring flower, which can delude its enemy easily.
…
So so!
Zhou Xuanji thought to himself. Ever since he obtained the God-Emperor Sword, he no longer fancied Gold Grade legendary swords.
“Why is it still not revealing yet?” He asked in his heart.
“Current grades of legendary swords that can be revealed, from bottom to top, are Ordinary Ore, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Amethyst, Glorious Gold, Heavenly Soul, Intimidating Spirit, Celestial-shaking, God-slaying, Armageddon. Higher grades will only be revealed after the Sword Owner becomes stronger.”
Heavenly Soul!
Intimidating Spirit!
Celestial-shaking!
God-slaying!
Armageddon!
Each sounded so mighty and imposing.
Zhou Xuanji blinked. He felt like he was already unrivaled in the ordinary realm with the Glorious Gold swords, how much more terrifying would the swords of the higher grade be?
Could God-slaying legendary sword really kill gods?
Could Armageddon legendary swords really destroy everything alive with one slash?
He became more excited as he thought about it. The Supreme Legendary Sword System was really powerful, indeed.
At this moment, an air-piercing sound came.
They settled down in a small forest with a lake at its center, which made it a suitable place to settle down along with its tall trees.
The person who was coming was Zhao Congjian.
He flew into the forest on his sword and quickly landed under the tree that Zhou Xuanji was on. “Master, the Empress was about to leave Great Zhou!” He said excitedly.
With this, Zhou Xuanji immediately turned his gaze towards him. Everyone else did so too.
The reason why they came to Juemo Wasteland was to ambush the Empress. How could they not be thrilled by such news?
Xiao Jinghong immediately asked, “Who is escorting her?”
The true power of the Empress was always a mystery. She was powerful for sure, but definitely not more powerful than the Sword Monarch.
“First Grade State General, Xitan Changshi!” Zhao Congjian said.
Xitan Changshi was a name that could move the entire Great Zhou.
He was the god of war of the Great Zhou Empire!
Back then, when Great Zhou was facing total decimation, it was he who fought with generals of each empire with his life. Although he almost died, he managed to persevere until Emperor Yan of Zhou broke through to Great Realization.
After Emperor Yan of Zhou broke through to Great Realization, he suppressed all his enemies with his absolute and unrivaled power. With that, he led the empire into a revival, from its near-death to all the flourishing and prosperity it enjoyed today.
Xitan Changshi was extremely powerful and was nurtured by the Emperor. Now, he was one of the top five cultivators in Great Zhou and was no weaker than the Sword Monarch.
Zhou Xuanji could only injure the Sword Monarch and even with the help of the God-Emperor Sword, he was not able to defeat him.
Facing someone like Xitan Changshi, who was on par with the Sword Monarch, it would be extremely difficult to assassinate the Empress.
Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes and asked, “When will they move?”
“I’m not sure,” Zhao Congjian said with a deep voice, “They are still in the midst of preparation. But the plan has already been firmed up, and news about it has been sent out. I heard that the Empress will invite the land god of Merciful Melody Cliff to Great Zhou to preach and help the commoners. This was something that brings great joy to the entire Great Zhou.”
Zhou Xuanji frowned. In this case, if he were to stop this from happening, wouldn’t he become a great sinner to Great Zhou?
But he did not care about it. Since he will not stay in Great Zhou after assassinating the Empress.
“What is the shortest time they might take?”
Zhou Xuanji asked further. It seemed like he needed to hurry up and become stronger.
“At least half a year. After they leave the custom, it would at least take another eight months.”
Zhao Congjian said with contemplation. Such a great event could not be prepared in just a few days since they had to make preparation for all the gifts.
Zhou Xuanji nodded and said to everyone, “You got it? Train with your best. Don’t slack during this period. When the time comes, it would be a battle to the death.”
“Yes!”
The group replied and resumed their training.
Not far away, the little black snake mumbled, “Xitan Changshi… That’s someone powerful. Jiao-dragon is his favorite food. I must be careful…”
On the tree.
Zhou Xuanji took out the Centenary Golden Embryo Pill
According to the explanations given by the Sword Spirit, this is a sacred tonic used for body tempering. The golden embryo was formed by the astral infant after one’s physical body was enhanced to the extreme.
He flipped his right hand, and a golden pill that was the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in his hand.
So big?
I can’t even swallow it!
He broke the pill into half, before putting one half into his mouth and began ingesting.
In an instant, a source of heat flowed down along his throat and immediately exploded.
He quickly channeled the Sword Qi Golden Body Incantation and absorbed spiritual Qi in his environment.
WhoooWhooo—
Waves of spiritual Qi gushed into his body and shook the trees and their leaves. Soon, countless leaves began to fall and danced in the wind. The scenery was beautiful to behold.
Jiang Xue, who was training her spells, turned around to look. She saw that Zhou Xuanji was concentrating on his cultivation on the tree. His expression looked like a powerful cultivator who had figured out the Way.
She let out a long breath and began forming spell signs with her hand to continue training on her lightning spell.
Now, she had already learned spells of the five elements and began training spells of other elements. Zhou Xuanji arranged this routine for her.
Having mastery over spells of different elements would be useful in any dangerous situation.
Jiang Xue was very hopeful about this.
She wanted to become the most powerful support!
Half a day later.
* Booom!*
Zhou Xuanji broke through to Inner Pellet Level Eight. The surface of his body turned golden.
He looked like a man made of gold. The White Dragon Golden Robe on his body danced in the wind.
Everyone turned and looked at him.
“Golden Invincibility… Physical Cultivation Great Accomplishment!”
Han Shenbo mumbled to himself. He was a little dazzled.
Energy and physique cultivation simultaneously!
It looked like it was going to be extremely difficult for him to escape from Zhou Xuanji.
Correct!
Zhou Xuanji had already broken through to Level Four of the Sword Qi Golden Body Incantation, Golden Invincibility!
His physical strength had reached a horrifying level.
According to his estimation, he had the power of at least 1,000 bulls!
The strength of 1,000 bulls was equivalent to the strength of 10,000 men. In the Northern Wilderness Region, 10 people’s strength was equal to the strength of a bull.
Most importantly, his defense made him easily blade-proof.
At the same time, his spirit energy exploded and the power of his sword Qi multiplied.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and sword Qi burst out from his eyes.
Boom! Boom!
Two streaks of sword Qi blasted into the ground. The impact left two craters in the ground and sent grass shreds flying into the air.
Everyone opened their eyes wide.
Xiao Jinghong breathed rapidly and said, “Sword Qi from the eyes was more powerful than those spit out from the mouth.”
Zhou Xuanji sat up slowly and leaped down onto the ground. The impact from his leg caused the ground underneath him to collapse, which made him look like a giant statue that had landed on the ground.
“All of you, come and push me. See if you can move me!”
Zhou Xuanji said while raising his brow. Xiao Jinghong, Han Shenbo, Zhao Congjian, and Beixiao Wangjian walked up excitedly when they heard him.
