Chapter 647
Kunlun Secret Realm, Ten Thousand Remnant Souls
The primordial spirit condenses!
Under normal circumstances, a martial artist cannot condense their primordial spirit unless they break through to the 'sitting in oblivion' realm of spiritual refinement.
but,
Chen Jie has now broken through this constraint.
His spiritual refinement realm was only at the late stage of the Great Perfection of the Contemplation Realm.
But at this moment, after he unleashed the 'Ancient Forbidden Technique,' his divine sense began to be reshaped and his primordial spirit was condensed.
boom--!
His meridians, dantian, and dantian were undergoing tremendous changes.
Every meridian began to grow thicker, tougher, and incredibly powerful.
Moreover, with all meridians open, the true energy contained within is extraordinary.
call!
Chen Jie couldn't help but close his eyes slightly, feeling that every meridian was filled with golden energy.
That's right,
The innate vital energy has changed and become primordial energy.
Holy Yuan Power!
This is the primordial energy that only a Saint Realm expert can condense.
The vital energy circulated continuously within the body, almost merging with the condensed primordial spirit.
According to rumors,
When one breaks through the Refining Spirit Realm to the seventh stage of Sitting in Oblivion and attains enlightenment, one's primordial energy and primordial spirit become one, allowing the primordial spirit to leave the body and reshape the physical body.
As a result,
The human body can constantly replace itself in response to changes in the environment, thus achieving immortality!
This is something that ordinary Saint Realm experts cannot do.
However, now that Chen Jie has unleashed the 'Ancient Forbidden Technique,' he is showing a subtle tendency to transform into an 'immortal body.'
Any martial artist who witnessed this scene would be utterly stunned.
this moment,
Chen Jie's body began to transform continuously, as if he had become a real dragon!
"Ha ha ha ha--!"
After breaking through, Chen Jie threw his head back and laughed wildly.
boom!
Suddenly, the Wuji Sword, which was already covered in cracks in his hand, was drawn from its sheath and shattered.
Immediately afterward, a terrifying airflow formed within a radius of one kilometer centered on him, sweeping down.
Chen Jie stood suspended in mid-air atop the snow-capped mountain, like a god or demon.
His entire body seemed to have transformed into a divine weapon, its sharpness fully revealed.
That murderous intent and the constantly condensing Yuan Power exuded a terrifying pressure.
at the same time,
The surrounding space seemed to begin to overlap, and the space was constantly distorting.
His body began to tremble, and the void began to shake.
All the changes ultimately came down to Jian Wuming.
The Kunlun Sword Tomb that Jian Wuming had just unleashed was subjected to countless spatial overlaps under the impact of this powerful Yuan energy.
All of this may seem like a long time, but it actually only took a fleeting moment.
After all the spatial distortions around them disappeared.
Only where Jian Wuming stood, the Kunlun Sword Tomb Sword Formation he had just unleashed still lingered with that overlapping spatial aura.
Countless sighs emanated from the overlapping spaces created by the Sword Tomb.
It wasn't the voice of Jian Wuming that came out, but rather the sighs of the sword spirits buried within the Sword Tomb.
this moment,
Jian Wuming's body trembled incessantly, his face contorted, but his eyes were filled with deep confusion.
One could see from his body that wisps of black mist enveloped his entire body.
Nine black sword phantoms appeared prominently, circling around the area.
These are the sword spirits of the nine Xuan Tie longswords used when setting up the Kunlun Nine Tribulations Sword Formation.
Under the aura of the Kunlun Sword Tomb, the sword souls of the Nine Swords sensed the distorting power of the surrounding space and actually showed a look of fear.
obviously,
Faced with the 'Ancient Forbidden Technique', the Kunlun Sword Sect's Sword Tomb was suppressed.
Ten thousand swords submit!
All the ancient swords buried in the Sword Tomb had to submit to the 'Ancient Forbidden Zone'.
This scene,
Outsiders can't sense it at all; they can't even perceive it, let alone see it.
Only Chen Jie and Jian Wuming could sense everything around them.
Chen Jie's feelings were particularly clear. As a successor of the Martial Saint Sect, he could clearly sense the emotions of the ten thousand swords within the Kunlun Sword Tomb.
He could even sense the divine thoughts of those former sword saints within the Kunlun Sword Tomb.
"The lineage of the Martial Saint Sect! You are the successor of the Martial Saint Sect!"
"Damn it! The Martial Saint Sect has reappeared? It was because of the Martial Saint Sect's obstruction on my path to becoming the Supreme Being through the sword that I was unable to take the final step!"
"Martial Saint Sect, the blood feud between us is irreconcilable!"
"What can a descendant of the Martial Saint Sect do? The might of Heaven is overwhelming. One day he will return to dust, just like us, and completely vanish into the world."
"—"
The countless ancient swords in the Kunlun Sword Tomb suddenly emitted a silent cry.
Their emotions changed drastically, as if they had fully awakened.
As the various ancient swords experienced emotional fluctuations, the sword bodies in the sword tomb began to tremble violently.
The entire Kunlun Sword Tomb was as if a storm had swept through it, with black mist spreading continuously.
Then,
As spaces overlap, vibrations occur.
The black mist within the sword tomb began to slowly dissipate, as if its spiritual essence had vanished into the world.
Chen Jie sensed the changes in the ancient swords' emotions and remained silent.
He didn't know much about the 'Blood Dragon Jade' in his mind, and his knowledge of the [Martial Saint Sect] was also very limited.
However, since obtaining the martial arts inheritance of the [Martial Saint Sect], he has gradually come to understand some things.
Sensing the change in Kunlun Sword Tomb's emotions, his gaze turned icy.
Immediately afterwards, he clenched his right hand.
With his five fingers clenched into a fist, the remnants of the ancient swords from the sword tomb gradually dissipated.
As they disappeared, they let out mournful cries that echoed in Chen Jie's mind.
It's like being filled with resentment, yet unwilling to let it all dissipate.
"The Martial Saint Sect has reopened the world, severing the path to immortality. We, who pursue the martial path, have died fighting for the path to immortality. All of this is because of your Martial Saint Sect!"
"The remnant souls of martial saints scattered across the starry sky will one day bring retribution upon your martial saint sect!"
The sound echoed around like something from ancient times.
"Cough cough—!" Jian Wuming's face turned deathly pale.
at this time,
His eyes gradually regained their senses, and he looked up at Chen Jie.
Clearly, he was unaware of what had happened after activating the Kunlun Sword Tomb.
Chen Jie glanced at Jian Wuming, then looked up at the entire Kunlun Sword Sect.
He didn't say anything, but turned and left.
Jian Wuming couldn't help but take a deep breath and look up at Chen Jie's departing figure.
A moment later,
He suddenly knelt down and kowtowed deeply to Chen Jie.
"I've said it before, if you can defeat me with this one move, from now on, the Kunlun Sword Sect will follow your lead!"
"I, Jian Wuming, will obey your command to prove my path in martial arts!"
Jian Wuming knelt and kowtowed nine times in a row. After getting up from the ground, he remained silent for a long time.
After seeing Chen Jie's figure completely disappear, he turned around and, with his injured body, his sword image disappeared into the distance like a shooting star.
-
Kunlun Sword Sect, deep in the snow-covered mountains.
Just as those remnant souls in the Kunlun Sword Tomb dissipated, at the foot of a great mountain...
Awooo—!
Suddenly, countless roars and howls erupted.
At this moment, the forces of heaven and earth seemed to surge like a monstrous wave.
Dark clouds shrouded the entire Kunlun Mountains.
The roar was awe-inspiring and resounded in all directions.
but,
Despite the commotion, no one in the Kunlun Sword Sect, the tourists in the Kunlun Mountains, or the local villages felt it at all.
They could not hear any sound, nor could they sense any pressure.
"Damn the Martial Saint Sect! I never expected the Martial Saint Sect's successor to reappear in the world." "Every generation of the Martial Saint Sect's successor brings bloodshed; which generation is this?"
"I don't know. Once the successor of the Martial Saint Sect appears, the path to immortality will be severed instantly."
"The path to immortality is fraught with peril. The successor of the Martial Saint Sect deserves to die. Only by killing him can one attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality!"
"The Martial Saint Sect has opened, and the world is in turmoil!"
"—"
With endless, fierce roars, the entire Kunlun Mountains trembled.
but,
This tremor did not originate from the Kunlun Mountains themselves, but rather from the very soul, causing the sky to shake.
Next,
Black mist continuously rose from the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, like remnants of an ancient soul, soaring into the sky and roaring at the heavens.
For a while,
The entire sky darkened under the clouds.
The Secret Realm of Kunlun!
Indeed, what Chen Jie didn't expect was that the moment he used the 'Ancient Forbidden Technique' to become the successor of the [Martial Saint Sect], it was all too late.
The Kunlun Secret Realm, located beneath the Kunlun Mountains, experienced a violent tremor.
but,
Just as the remnant soul was about to burst forth, suddenly, a terrifying aura appeared in the sky above the Kunlun Mountains.
The moment this aura appeared, the entire aura of the Kunlun Sword Sect was instantly suppressed.
Under the intimidating power of this terrifying aura, countless remnant souls within the Kunlun Secret Realm trembled uncontrollably and fell into a deathly silence.
Who are you?
After a moment of deathly silence, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from the Kunlun Secret Realm beneath the Kunlun Mountains.
This aura was ridiculously powerful, even surpassing the Limitless Sword Saint that Chen Jie had seen in the starry sky of the Martial Saint Sect.
When this terrifying aura appeared, it was comparable to the terrifying aura in the sky.
Whoosh—!
At that very moment, the remnant souls in the Kunlun Secret Realm fell silent as if they had encountered an emperor, and even worshipped this aura.
boom!
This overwhelming aura instantly enveloped the entire Kunlun Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles.
For a while,
Dark clouds filled the sky above the entire Kunlun Mountains, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
What's strange is that, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Kunlun Mountains have not changed at all, and the sky is still just as blue and clear.
All the changes in the Kunlun Mountains were like a manifestation of consciousness.
The two powerful auras faced each other from afar, evenly matched.
"The Martial Saint Gate has opened, and I can sense the aura of the ancient times!"
A weathered voice echoed from the sky, reverberating through the Kunlun Mountains.
The sound seemed to be right next to my ear, and I couldn't pinpoint its exact location.
It bears the marks of time, seemingly revealing a hint of vicissitude and decay at the end of life.
but,
Yet, within this decaying atmosphere lies a subtle yet powerful aura.
If one's strength hasn't reached that level, it's unlikely that one would be able to sense that domineering power!
An aura of slaughter!
The boundless murderous aura emanating from him revealed the extent of his bloodlust.
Even a single sound could easily suppress the countless remnant souls within the Kunlun Secret Realm.
"What brings you to my Kunlun Secret Realm?"
The emperor-like aura emanating from beneath the Kunlun Secret Realm sent forth divine thoughts.
"The Martial Saint Sect has been kind to me, as its lineage was severed for three thousand years! Now that a successor of the Martial Saint Sect has appeared, I will not allow you to interfere with the secrets of heaven!"
"If you do not heed my advice, then even if I am not reincarnated, I will surely slaughter your Kunlun!"
The voice that appeared in the air was unusually calm.
but,
Its tone, however, contained a power that was impossible to resist.
The imperial aura emanating from beneath the Kunlun Secret Realm fell silent.
but,
Just as he disappeared, a voice rang out, echoing in the sky.
"You don't need to give up on reincarnation, because I will come to find you!"
"Pass on my sword decree, select the twenty-eight constellation prodigies of the Kunlun Sword Sect to enter the Kunlun Secret Realm and pass on the Sword Sect's mantle to the world!"
at the same time,
Deep within the River Styx in the Kunlun Secret Realm, a deep white skeleton slowly rises.
Then,
A primordial spirit appeared on the skeleton.
next moment,
The deepest part of the River Styx leads all the way to the distant seabed, where countless stone coffins are displayed.
Click—click—!
Perhaps drawn by the spirit within the skeleton, the lid of the stone coffin was completely lifted.
"The Martial Saint Sect! Has it finally appeared—?"
A hoarse voice echoed from the deepest part of the River Styx.
Boom! Boom!
The next moment, towering waves surged up from the depths of the Styx River in the entire Kunlun Secret Realm.
The Kunlun Mountains seemed to have awakened.
Although the sky remained overcast and pitch black.
but,
At that moment, the dark clouds actually began to disperse.
The sun in the sky shone with intense light, dispelling the dark clouds, as if the light was about to arrive.
At this moment, the entire Kunlun Mountains seemed like two worlds overlapping, making it impossible to distinguish between them.
of course,
Chen Jie was unaware of all that was happening in the Kunlun Mountains.
He continued on his way through the wind and snow.
His expression remained calm and expressionless.
Everything in the Kunlun Secret Realm reminded him of the time reversal when he first opened the [Martial Saint Gate].
Like a black hole, it transformed the world and broke down the barriers of time and space.
He didn't know where he was in the Kunlun Mountains; all he could see were countless mountains stretching endlessly.
It was surrounded only by snow-capped mountains and shrouded in wind and snow.
In this epic duel with Jian Wuming, Chen Jie witnessed his peak combat power.
That's a cross-border combat power capable of suppressing a Sword Saint!
"Unfortunately, I still have too few trump cards and killer moves to achieve a true crushing victory!"
"In the upcoming battle against Miyamoto Musashi, I only have a 50% chance of killing him!"
Chen Jie stopped and turned to look at the Kunlun Mountains behind him.
He walked in the wind and snow, lost in thought.
After his strength reached the level of Quasi-Saint, he found himself on a different path of martial arts.
One sword cuts through a thousand miles!
The world of martial arts that a Sword Saint has reached seems to be completely different from what he had previously imagined.
No guns or firearms can pose a threat to the Sword Saint, and even getting close to a powerful Sword Saint is impossible.
Only experts of the same level can kill a Saint-level expert.
He could even sense the backlash from the rules of heaven and earth. Once he fully unleashed his power, he had to seal his primordial spirit and absolutely could not allow it to leak out.
The Kunlun Mountains contain a grand array that seals off the power of heaven and earth.
Therefore,
During their fierce battle with Jian Wuming, both sides could unleash their power without limit.
Once he leaves the Kunlun Mountains and loses the shield of the Heaven and Earth Array, as long as he releases the aura of his primordial spirit, he will inevitably trigger lightning punishment.
of course,
After the battle at Kunlun, Chen Jie realized his weaknesses.
Only by constantly making up for one's shortcomings can one remain invincible.
"There are still ten days until the decisive battle in the East China Sea! I'll use this time to return to the urban world and refine the 'Flower of Death'!"
Swish!
next moment,
With a swift movement, he headed straight for a valley in the Kunlun Mountains.
Click—click—!
A sword-wielding dharma image flew continuously, and soon carved a small cave into the steep rock face.
Next,
His body entered the cave, and he sat down cross-legged.
Om-!
With a flash of red light, his figure vanished into the cave! (End of Chapter)
