Chapter 330
Pure Yang Divine Sword
Boom!
A series of astonishing bolts of lightning, like a flood bursting its banks, cleaved the sky with dark cracks, seemingly threatening to pierce through the entire Funiu Mountains.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Sheng used a teleportation technique while holding Yao Tai Feng.
I'll be going now!
If it were an ordinary tribulation of pills, he could withstand it to some extent with his magic power and physical body. But under this tribulation of lightning, which was like the wrath of the heavens, any bolt of lightning could easily strike him and cause serious injury or even death.
boom!!
Even after escaping a hundred feet underground, Zhou Sheng could still feel the deep tremors of the earth. The aftershocks of the lightning punishment shook the rock layers like an earthquake, almost affecting him.
"Danshan, it seems that in the future, it's best to keep quiet and maintain a sense of awe when facing tribulations."
Such terrifying power startled Yao Taifeng. She nestled in Zhou Sheng's arms, her incense-infused golden body keenly sensing the boiling of the heaven and earth's primordial energy.
With her golden body, a single blow would reduce her to ashes.
Fortunately, Zhou Sheng reacted quickly; otherwise, he might not have been able to withstand even the aftershocks.
"I wonder how the senior is doing now?"
She said with some concern that although Old Man Niu Shan was sometimes a bit unserious, he was a respectable senior.
"Under divine punishment, only that stubborn mouth will remain."
Zhou Sheng shook his head, feeling that the other party really shouldn't be called Old Man Niushan, but rather the Stubborn True Lord.
After waiting a while longer to make sure the lightning tribulation had dissipated, Zhou Sheng led Yaotai Phoenix out of the ground.
The sky above was clear and blue, without a trace of dark clouds.
But the entire thatched cottage was completely unrecognizable, reduced to ruins.
Within a radius of several hundred feet from the thatched hut, the earth was scorched black, forming a bottomless sinkhole.
As for Old Man Niushan, not only was he gone, but not even a fragment of his clothes remained.
"It hurts, it really hurts!"
A voice suddenly rang out. Zhou Sheng looked closely and saw ripples spreading in the void. Then, a new Old Man Niushan slowly walked out.
Clearly, the previous clone has been completely destroyed.
The new old man from Niushan was still touching his face with lingering fear. When he noticed Zhou Sheng and Yao Taifeng staring at him, he quickly put his hand down and pretended to be nonchalant.
"Hehe, just a little Lei, his clothes are only slightly dirty."
Zhou Sheng: "..."
Yaotai Feng: "..."
"Ahem, what kind of looks are those? Everything is under the old beggar's control. I expected it long ago. The power of the lightning tribulation is not strong enough to refine the Golden Crow Blood Copper."
As he spoke, the old man from Niushan stretched out his hand.
Under the sunlight, a divine sword with a beam of light shooting up to the heavens and fiery energy piercing the sky floated silently in the void.
It is about three feet long, with the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era carved on the handle. The sheath hides purple lightning and green frost, while inside it is a crimson flame and a golden dragon. Its divine light is like a torch, dazzling and eye-catching.
The moment Zhou Sheng saw this divine sword, the pure Yang sword light in his dantian throbbed, conveying a strong desire.
"Boy, before this sword's spirit is fully born, why don't you quickly restore that pure Yang sword intent to its rightful place?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Sheng flicked his finger, and the invisible and colorless pure Yang sword light eagerly flew into the divine sword.
The next moment, the divine sword suddenly rang out with the cry of a golden crow, and wisps of crimson-gold flames swirled around it as it soared into the sky, burning the clouds crimson. It was as if a second sun had appeared in the sky, and in the raging flames and dazzling light, the faint phantom of a three-legged golden crow could be seen.
Chant!
With a thought from Zhou Sheng, the Pure Yang Divine Sword flew into his hand like a golden lightning bolt.
With his hand on the hilt, even before the sword was drawn, he could feel the vast, ocean-like sword energy, powerful, domineering, and intensely hot.
A touch of pure yang refines the true form; where the sword light arises, even ghosts and gods tremble.
Do not say that immortals are without bloodshed; they sweep away all demonic influences and the jade palace is clear!
"What a fine sword! What a magnificent Pure Yang Divine Sword!"
Zhou Sheng stroked the divine sword, his excitement palpable, his eyes filled with affection.
He released his grip, and the divine sword wandered around him before slowly disappearing. However, if someone had a keen eye, they would have seen an incomparably sharp sword aura surrounding Zhou Sheng.
If one's cultivation level is lower, even their eyes might be injured by this protective sword energy.
The divine sword possesses a spirit; it can usually remain hidden and protect its master. But once it encounters danger, it will immediately be drawn to slay demons and vanquish evil!
"Hehe, you're even more like a sword cultivator than a sword cultivator now."
Old Man Niu Shan made a joke, but inwardly he was amazed.
Such a divine sword is coveted by all sword cultivators in the world, yet in the end, it was obtained by an "outsider" who neither understands sword scriptures nor cultivates the way of the sword.
Given this kid's potential, as long as he doesn't die, he might actually become the next Lü Chunyang.
"I have to thank my senior for making all of this possible!"
After hiding his sword, Zhou Sheng bowed deeply to the old man of Niushan, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.
He didn't intend to let Ya Zi devour this Pure Yang Divine Sword, because he had a vague premonition that the sword's future was limitless and might accompany him as he continued to grow.
It would be a terrible waste to let Yazi swallow it.
"Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period, when the master swordsmith Ou Yezi forged the famous sword Zhanlu, the rain god swept and the thunder god struck, the dragon held up the furnace, and the Heavenly Emperor added charcoal. On the day the sword was completed, its brilliant light pierced the sky, and the sun and moon shone brightly. Today, this Pure Yang Divine Sword is forged with thirty-six heavenly thunders and made with golden crows as steel. Its craftsmanship is no less than that of Ou Yezi!"
When Yao Taifeng saw Zhou Sheng obtain the divine sword, she was even happier than if she had received the benefit herself. She beamed with joy and showered him with compliments, making Old Man Niu Shan unable to suppress his laughter.
"Little girl, what you said is a bit exaggerated, but it's... basically true."
Yao Tai's phoenix eyes darted around, and she pressed her advantage, laughing, "Senior, Dan Shan has now obtained the divine sword, but hasn't learned any advanced sword manuals. Isn't that a pity?"
"If we can't beat others in the future, they'll think it's because your sword wasn't sharp enough. It's alright if Danshan suffers a loss, but it's a pity if it tarnishes your reputation..."
She stepped forward and gently patted the old man Niu Shan's shoulder, saying with a smile, "Senior, since you're so kind, why don't you go all the way and pass on another advanced sword manual to Dan Shan?"
"Xiao Feng will definitely cook more delicious dishes for you and buy all the finest wines in the world!"
Old Man Niu Shan, having plucked out several hairs from his beard, said irritably, "So you were waiting for me here. Let me tell you, no way!"
Seeing that Yao Taifeng was about to speak, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop. You little rascal, this old beggar will never fall for your tricks again. I'll tell you the truth."
"It's not that I'm stingy, but even if I gave him the best sword manual in the world, I would still be harming him."
Zhou Sheng asked in surprise, "Senior, what do you mean by that?"
"Boy, don't you understand? What sword manual in this world can compare to a truly peerless divine sword?"
"Your Pure Yang Divine Sword is itself an unparalleled sword manual, not to mention that it also contains the sword intent of Lu Zu. You have been sitting in a mountain of treasures without even realizing it."
After a moment's thought, Zhou Sheng's eyes lit up, and his voice revealed a hint of excitement.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand now!"
