Chapter 642
On Mount Kunlun, there is a sword immortal.
"The swordsmanship that cuts across borders originates from the other side of the starry sky; the infinite is finite, and the limitless is finite!"
"The sword flashes through the air, unleashing a killing intent that transcends life and death!"
Chen Jie closed his eyes slightly, sensing the profound meaning of the sword technique he had created.
but,
A moment later,
He then thought about it again and felt that it was not quite perfect.
"The 'Slaying Line' sword saint technique is a manifestation of my will, a fusion of my dragon might and sword intent."
"My innate qi manifests as crimson gold jade, so this killing strike should be a crimson gold killing strike!"
"As my martial arts level improves, the manifestation of the killing line will also change."
call--!
Chen Jie let out a long breath.
"I wonder what the outcome would be if I faced Miyamoto Musashi's sword again, given my current peak combat strength?"
Chen Jie always felt it was a disgrace to be killed by Miyamoto Musashi from a hundred miles away in Ryukyu and fall into the sea.
this moment,
His fighting spirit burned fiercely.
He even longed to return to Jinling immediately and head straight to the East China Sea for a final battle against Miyamoto Musashi.
He estimated that even if his 'killing strike' couldn't kill Miyamoto Musashi in one move, it would at least severely injure him.
After all, he had compared this Sword Saint technique with the combat power of the Limitless Sword Saint in his mind.
Although he cannot compare to the Wuji Sword Saint at his peak, he can easily kill ordinary Martial Saints.
of course,
Without real combat experience, everything is just imagination.
Whether it truly possesses such immense power can only be determined through a genuine life-or-death struggle to fully unleash the power of the Sword Saint Technique.
After all, the Wuji Sword Saint is no ordinary Saint-level martial artist.
His combat awareness was too strong, and his overall combat strength far exceeded that of an ordinary martial saint.
Countless martial saints died by his sword.
However, while the ultimate move is incredibly powerful, it cannot be used indefinitely.
After Chen Jie unleashed this killing move, even with his life potential, he would be completely burned away, his true energy depleted, and he would be on the verge of collapse.
"It seems that to fully unleash the power of the 'Slaying Line,' I must break through to the Forgetfulness Realm and reach the Sword Saint level in martial arts!"
"With my current level of martial arts, there is still some gap."
"If I can unleash three consecutive killing blows, I believe no martial saint can withstand it."
"Even if I encounter a master like the 'Sword Saint of Limitless', I will kill him with a single sword strike!"
all in all,
Chen Jie's current strength has undergone tremendous changes and has reached a bottleneck.
He didn't even know the extent of his peak combat power.
Next, we will enter Kunlun Mountain and ascend to the Kunlun Sword Sect.
This is a great opportunity to test your abilities.
The reclusive powerhouse of the Kunlun Sword Sect, I hope he won't disappoint me.
-
Chen Jie's killing of 'Yanluo' Shan Tu with a single sword strike at the ancient village in the snowy mountains did not cause much of a stir.
The reason is simple: he killed everyone under 'Yanluo' Shantu's command, leaving no one alive.
Fearing retaliation from the Bitter Saint, the people of the ancient village in the snowy mountains kept their mouths shut and dared not reveal a single detail.
Therefore,
The entire Kunlun Mountains remained calm, and even the Changfeng Escort Agency was unaware of what had happened.
Many people in the martial arts world still follow the caravans of Changfeng Escort Agency into the Kunlun Mountains, seeking their own opportunities.
Legend has it that you can encounter a sword immortal atop Mount Kunlun!
If one could gain the favor of a sword immortal and be taught a single sword technique, it would be enough to make one famous and renowned in the martial arts world.
Yaochi in Kunlun, Qinghai.
This is an extremely special place in the mythical history of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Based on the legend of the Queen Mother of the West in the Kunlun mythology, it symbolizes immortality and longevity, and holds an extremely high position in the entire mythological system.
Because of its extremely high altitude and remoteness, the area boasts towering mountains, lakes with crystal-clear waters, and is surrounded by snow year-round.
Therefore,
There's a reason this place is called a paradise on earth.
According to folk myths and legends, in ancient times, hunters ascended to the Jade Pool.
But in the lake at the top of the mountain, they saw fairies descending to earth.
The hunter was stunned as he looked at the green water in the lake and the fairy bathing.
Without realizing it, he walked into the lake.
When he reached the lakeside, almost completely submerged in the water, he suddenly came to his senses.
A dream spanning a thousand years!
When he returned to shore, he found that everything he had with him had turned to stone.
The wild fruit he once carried fell to the shore, took root, and grew into a towering tree.
then,
He was suddenly struck by the realization that gods and immortals truly existed in this world.
A sword immortal descends to earth, a celestial maiden from the nine heavens!
Because of various legends, the entire Kunlun Wonderland has become increasingly mysterious.
And the Jade Pool of Kunlun is a legend among legends.
The entire Qinghu Lake is said to be the Jade Pool of the Queen Mother of the West.
Perhaps it is because of these myths and legends that masters and sects in the martial arts world regard Kunlun Yaochi as a sacred place.
Even many Western martial arts masters come here, hoping to climb the Kunlun Mountains and see if they can encounter the legendary sword immortal.
at this time,
The two were walking towards a mountain peak next to the Jade Pool of Kunlun Mountain.
They were a man and a woman, both skilled in martial arts at the Iron Bone Dark Force level, and both were sword masters in the martial arts world.
Even experts with internal strength were panting heavily after entering the area of Yaochi in Kunlun Mountain.
"Junior sister, we're almost there! We'll be able to climb Sword Immortal Peak soon!"
"I'll show you the Sword Immortal Stone in Kunlun Jade Pool later."
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a moment to calm himself down.
He encouraged the woman beside him, his face filled with infatuation.
It's clear that he really likes his junior sister.
It seemed that accompanying his junior sister to the Sword Immortal Peak of Yaochi in Kunlun Mountain was an honor for him.
The woman smiled and adjusted her breathing as well.
She looked up at the mountain peaks not far away and said with a smile:
"Senior brother, you don't actually believe in the legends of sword immortals, do you? There are no real sword immortals in the world."
"A thousand years in a dream! These are all just legends, fabrications. We are all martial arts practitioners. Even a true sword saint could not live for a thousand years."
"The Sword Immortal Stone is merely a symbol of faith, an aspiration for us sword practitioners."
The man nodded and chuckled:
“Junior sister is right, but now that we’ve come to Kunlun Jade Pool, we should at least climb Sword Immortal Peak and see the Sword Immortal Stone, right?”
The woman smiled but didn't say anything.
How could she not know what her senior brother was thinking?
At their age, they are at the point where they should be discussing marriage.
She didn't reject her senior brother; otherwise, she wouldn't have let him accompany her to Yaochi in Kunlun Mountain.
at this time,
She looked up at the mountain peak and complained:
"It's so cold. I didn't expect it to be this cold here in the morning. There's snow everywhere."
"I should have gone up the mountain later; the morning wind was too strong."
The man comforted her, saying, "It will warm up soon. Once the chill dissipates, the wind won't be so strong."
Next,
The two remained silent and began climbing towards Sword Immortal Peak.
at last,
After a period of arduous crawling, the two reached their destination.
The man eagerly jumped up from the rock, holding the woman's hand with one hand, and looked up at the Sword Immortal Stone not far away.
"Junior sister, we've finally arrived! The timing is perfect; we can see the sunrise. The Sword Immortal Stone is right there, look—!" He pointed excitedly at a huge rock in front of him.
but,
His gaze sharpened, his pupils contracted sharply, and he was completely stunned.
A scholar was standing on the Sword Immortal Stone, a dozen meters away.
He looked to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, standing on the Sword Immortal Stone, looking up at the rising sun in the east.
Behind him was a massive sword immortal stone and a huge dragon shadow.
The eastern sun and the dragon shadow behind him merged into one at this moment.
The dragon chases the sun!
A cold wind blew, and the snow stirred up wisps of mist.
The crimson sun rises continuously from the eastern horizon.
Sunlight shone brightly on the earth, falling on the Sword Immortal Stone.
at this time,
The giant dragon behind the scholar was constantly absorbing sunlight.
Simultaneously,
A hundred-meter-long sword hung above the dragon, its breath rising and falling with the dragon's tumultuous movements.
It seemed that someone had arrived at Sword Immortal Peak.
The scholar turned his head and looked at the brother and sister who had just climbed the mountain.
His handsome face appeared very calm and composed, his gaze showing no sharp killing intent, but rather an approachable one like an ordinary person.
at this time,
A faint crimson-gold jade light emanated from his body, as if a sword immortal had descended to earth, giving people an indescribable feeling.
"No way? There really are sword immortals on Mount Kunlun?"
The woman who had just climbed to the top of Sword Immortal Peak was shocked and speechless.
She covered her mouth, stunned for a long time.
Her senior brother, who was standing next to her, was also completely shocked.
He never expected that arriving at Sword Immortal Peak so early, originally just to watch the sunrise, would lead to this scene.
However, he quickly realized what was happening.
The young man in front of me was dressed in scholar's clothes, which did not seem to be from ancient times, but rather from the Great Qian Dynasty.
This is not from ancient times!
The scholar glanced at them indifferently.
Whoosh!
The next moment, he stomped his foot, his body soared into the air, and instantly disappeared from the Sword Immortal Stone.
From beginning to end, it was as if he had never appeared.
Everything that just happened seems like an illusion.
"What happened? How could it just disappear like that!"
"Wasn't he just standing on the Sword Immortal Stone? Why did he disappear all of a sudden? Am I seeing things?"
The woman came to her senses and asked incredulously.
She was certain she hadn't been seeing things, but in the blink of an eye, the scholar had vanished.
She even saw a hint of indifference on the scholar's face, as if he had seen through the vanities of the world.
But from the other person's calm expression, she could also sense a domineering aura.
That invincible, domineering aura of "I am the only one who can rule the world" sends chills down one's spine and makes one feel an extremely strong sense of pressure.
what is the problem?
"It's not an illusion; it's a true martial artist, a powerful figure far surpassing us!"
"Judging from the aura he exuded when he left, he must have broken through to the pinnacle of martial arts and condensed an external dharma form—a super powerhouse."
"At sunrise, he can condense his external form into a radiant image that rivals the sun and manifests extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth."
"The dragons and the void swords we see are manifestations of our consciousness, a kind of spiritual illusion!"
"He's too powerful! He can influence our judgment and vision with his divine sense!"
Although the man's martial arts skills were only at the Iron Bone Dark Force level, his knowledge was extraordinary.
From the extraordinary celestial phenomenon he had just witnessed, and the scene of the dragon swallowing the sun, he quickly drew his own judgment and conclusion.
Recalling the aura that the scholar had exuded in his gestures, a look of shock and confusion appeared on his face.
He would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"That's not right! How could someone so young condense an external avatar and break through to the pinnacle of martial arts, reaching the Divine Indestructible realm?"
"Judging from his appearance, he's no older than us."
"Our talent is already quite good. No matter how extraordinary he is, he can't possibly be that much stronger than us, right?"
The man shook his head, seemingly doubting his earlier thought.
The woman frowned slightly and muttered to herself:
"He's about our age, has condensed an external avatar, and his strength is comparable to a sword saint!"
"Such a genius could never be an unknown person!"
suddenly,
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, as if she had remembered something.
Then, she exclaimed in surprise:
"Senior brother, we seem to have forgotten someone. He single-handedly changed the situation of the Great Qian Dynasty, swept across the martial arts world, and became the only martial arts alliance leader in the North and South!"
Upon hearing this, the man suddenly awoke, his eyes widened, and he took a deep breath, saying:
"You mean—Prince Qian, Chen Jie! It's him! It's him!"
"I was just saying why I suddenly felt he looked very familiar when I saw him."
“I saw his portrait in the newspaper of Ximentang. Although he was dressed as a scholar and his temperament had changed a lot, his appearance had not changed.”
"My God, I actually saw the Qian King! He is the strongest person in our Great Qian Dynasty."
this moment,
The two students were extremely excited.
They chased after him down the mountain, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Qian King's splendor.
unfortunately,
Where on the entire Kunlun Sword Immortal Peak was the scholar from before?
"What a pity! I never thought I would meet the Qian King in the Kunlun Mountains. I should have greeted him earlier."
"If we can get guidance from the Prince of Qian, or even gain his favor, we will have a chance to stand out from the crowd."
After chasing the mountain for a hundred meters, the man was filled with remorse.
Next,
He looked up at the Sword Immortal Stone where Chen Jie had just stood, and was filled with emotion.
A moment later, he climbed onto the Sword Immortal Stone and called out to the woman:
“Junior sister, come up here with me. This is where the Qian King stood just now. Perhaps we can gain some insights from this.”
The woman quickly climbed up the Sword Immortal Stone.
Next,
The two disciples sat down cross-legged, their minds replaying the scene of Chen Jie standing there just now.
It must be said that human potential is enormous.
In this state, the two of them actually seemed to have gained some insight into their own swordsmanship!
Chen Jie walked on the mountain peak, his movements as swift as lightning.
It looks like,
He seemed to walk with an air of leisure, yet his speed was astonishing.
A sword aura surrounded him, like a protective dragon, constantly circling around him.
The sword aura shone with a crimson-gold light, making it particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
From a distance, it looks like a golden ray of light that disappears in an instant.
"Sword energy transforms into fierce force, the body moves like a swimming dragon!"
"I never expected that combining sword energy with footwork would bring about such a change in speed!"
"To transform oneself into a sword and to transform oneself into a sword—this state of oneness between man and sword is the true essence of speed."
Chen Jie increasingly felt the benefits that 'divine thought' brought him.
Divine thought is the sublimation of spiritual awareness, a transformation in the realm of spiritual refinement.
To condense one's primordial spirit, one must unite one's thoughts with one's divine will.
This is a state of comprehensive improvement in strength—! (End of Chapter)
