Chapter 1564: Unharmed
"My sword starts from one and ends in infinity. All things are born from me and transform from me. My sword dao is endless and ever-adaptable. The true meaning of my sword is akin to the eternal and uncountable sand!"
These were the opening words of the Taixuan Sword Scripture that summarized its essence.
After reaching the supreme Saint stage, Lin Xun managed to cultivate 108,000 streams of sword qi in the 108,000 cavities in his body.
His earlier sword move had started from one and transformed into 108,000 swords thatbined his qi cultivation, spirit cultivation, and physical cultivation together with all of his martial daos.
Although it was a single sword, the power umted within made it one of Lin Xun’s strongest moves at the moment!
The surroundings were deathly silent while the Sword Saints were overwhelmed by terror.
All of the pride and confidence they had in their sword dao had been utterly crushed by Lin Xun’s sword!
The mere thought of what had transpired left them trembling uncontrobly with fear.
Even in the Great Luo Ancient Domain, it was almost impossible to find anyone who could do this to them!
The most terrifying part was that Lin Xun was still very young. Moreover, he wasn''t a pure sword cultivator and even specialized in the art of runes!
What kind of freak was this?
Lin Xun suddenly asked, "Is Jian Qingchen of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes the one who entered this secret realm?"
Although he still gave off the same air of calm indifference as before, the group’s gaze now contained unconceble fear when they looked at him.
One of the Sword Saints gnashed his teeth as if he was ready to die. "Hmph! Just kill us. Don’t even dream of prying information from our lips!"
<em>Plop!</em>
As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Xun raised his hand. A stream of sword qi shot out and killed the speaker on the spot.
It had been several months since he left the Ancient Wastnd Camp. In this time, he had not neglected his cultivation while traveling and searching, and had deepened his understanding of ‘uniting the three ways.’
At present, even a casual attack from him had be so powerful that supreme Saints would have difficulty dealing with it, let alone ordinary True Saints.
If he was considered to have touched the threshold of invincibility among this cultivation stage previously, he had now crossed the threshold and properly entered!
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that even a regr supreme Saint was no longer worthy of his attention. Of course, this didn’t include the top-tier supreme Saints.
Someone shouted and turned to flee, "Run!"
Now that they were heavily injured and had lost the power and courage to fight Lin Xun, the only way to survive was to escape.
Lin Xun didn''t even look as he waved his sleeve, sending out a stream of Taixuan sword qi.
<em>Plop!</em>
Blood sttered as the escaping expert was engulfed by a torrent of sword qi and torn to shreds in an instant. All he could manage was a final shriek of terror before his demise.
"We have to fight!"
"Attack!"
The eyes of the remaining Sword Saints turned red at the sight of theirrades’ deaths, and they attacked together with twisted expressions.
Lin Xun was unconcerned. As he stepped forward, he shone brightly and dao light began circting around him. With each step, rays of peerlessly sharp Taixuan sword qi whizzed out.
<em>Plop plop plop!</em>
Figure after figure fell wherever he passed. Their lives were easily reaped away as if they were mere stalks of grass.
So what if they were supreme Sword Saints?
In the face of absolute strength, they were no different from stalks of grass.
Of course, this was Lin Xun''s intention. He used his greatest power from the get-go and disyed overwhelming strength from start to end.
In a mere ten breaths, Lin Xun arrived below the door to the secret realm.
Behind him, all of the supreme Sword Saints had been ughtered!
Little Silver and Little Sky had already flown out and skillfully gathered the battle spoils. They had witnessed several simr scenes over the past few months and were already used to it.
However, even they often inwardly sighed. Master…was growing more brutal and stronger.
Moreover, because they couldn’t find Zhao Jingxuan, Lin Xun was bing increasingly silent and umunicative while his temper was getting worse. In fact, it had be amon urrence for him to fight at the slightest disagreement.
Soon after, Little Silver and Little Sky finished their work and returned to Lin Xun. Upon seeing that he didn’t appear to have any intention of talking, they tactfully kept silent.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xun suddenly said, "Are you guys worried that I will be a ughterer who only knows murder if this continues?"
Little Silver and Little Sky were momentarily taken aback before they nodded in unison.
"Master, we know that you''re worried about Miss Jingxuan, but you shouldn’t overly burden yourself either."
Little Silver took a deep breath and earnestly said, "I believe that Miss Jingxuan is blessed by the heavens, and it might not actually be a bad thing that there’s still no news of her. At the very least…it''s better than hearing bad news."
Lin Xun nodded. His eyes were clear as he said, "I''ve been thinking about something for some time which I’ve now roughly figured out."
Little Silver and Little Sky were taken aback again. What had he understood?
However, Lin Xun didn''t say anything more. Instead, he raised his foot and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm.
He was almost certain that the ‘Young Master’ mentioned by the Sword Saints was likely Jian Qingchen, who was regarded as the number one younger-generation expert of the Great Luo Ancient Domain!
Since he had encountered such a famous individual, he naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Jian Qingchen was the sessor of the Heavenly Sword Sect and the leader of the Great Luo Camp. He was also one of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes and a rare sword dao genius.
How strong would someone like him be?
……
<em>Omm~</em>
With a peculiar hum, Lin Xun appeared in the secret realm.
Numerous mountains could be seen in the distance against the endless blue sky.
This was a picturesque ce filled with an aura of peace and tranquility. Even the dao aura in the air seemed to have a calming effect.
As soon as Lin Xun arrived, he felt the dao power around him be exceptionally lively. It felt as if every mountain and river in this realm was in perfect harmony, and he could clearly feel the dao rush toward him.
Surprise shed across Lin Xun''s ck eyes as he stepped forward and spread out his spirit sense.
Along the way, he was greeted by a never-ending picturesque and magnificent scenery that made the realm resemble a holynd of the immortals.
Sometime after, Lin Xun abruptly stopped while he was walking through a bamboo forest as his heart violently thudded in his chest.
<em>Swish!</em>
A split secondter, he vanished and reappeared deep in the forest where a bamboo cottage had been built.
It was clear that someone had lived here before.
Lin Xun walked inside and found that the interior was simple and clean. There was a mat and a bamboo table on which a bamboo tube had been ced. Several budding pale blue flowers had been inserted in the rube, ready to bloom soon.
Lin Xun took a deep breath and focused his senses.
"It''s Jingxuan. She must have stayed here before!"
After some time, the gloomy aura that had umted between Lin Xun''s brows waspletely swept away. His ck eyes shone brightly, and his expression became unusually emotional.
He never imagined that he would mistakenly stumble into the right ce!
"It seems that she has been staying here ever since she entered the Nine Domains Battlefield. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have had the time to build the bamboo house!"
Lin Xun took a deep breath to calm his emotions. "But where is she now?"
He turned around, walked out of the bamboo house, and spread out his spirit sense.
After a while, he finally caught a trace of a faint aura that was drifting over from far away.
Lin Xun flew over without hesitation.
Sometime after, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and hended on the ground. He walked to a grass patch and picked up a de of grass.
The long, narrow de of grass had clearly been cut off by a peerlessly sharp aura. It was a very smooth cut.
When Lin Xun concentrated his senses, he detected a wisp of faintly discernible sword-will.
It was an almost undetectable wisp of very ordinary-looking sword-will. However, it becamepletely different under Lin Xun’s inspection.
He saw a vast, majestic, and domineering aura ferocious rush at him!
It was like a sword concealed in its scabbard. Although its sharpness waspletely hidden, when unsheathed, its brilliance would definitely be brighter than the moon!
<em>Jian Qingchen?</em>
Iciness shed in Lin Xun''s ck eyes as he tensed up.
If Jingxuan had been living here all along, Jian Qingchen would have noticed her presence the moment he entered the secret realm!
In the next moment, Lin Xun elerated with all of his power as his spirit sense spread outwards like a tide to follow Zhao Jingxuan''s trial.
Along the way, he continued to pick up traces of Jian Qingchen’s presence. He had evidently discovered something strange and was investigating it.
Soon after, rumbling sounded from afar.
Lin Xun abruptly raised his head as his spirit sense shot over. In an instant, he saw the grand and magnificent scene of a heavenly tribtion.
Above a majestic purple mountain, pitch-ck tribtion clouds covered the sky like a curtain of the eternal night.
Blindingly bright and terrifying tribtion lightning surged and roared amidst the tribtion clouds like pythons and dragons, releasing a deafening cacophony akin to the gods beating drums.
It was the rarely-seen scene of a Saint tribtion!
Lin Xun''s pupils soon shrank, his senses firmly drawn in by the beautiful silhouette standing atop the purple mountain.
Her clothes wildly fluttered around, and her long hair was coiled high into a bun, revealing her beautiful face.
As she stood alone on the cliff, illusory dao light flowed around her, making her resemble a fairy that had descended upon the mortal world.
Her expression, however, was unusually grave as she looked up at the sky where the thick tribtion clouds threatened impending destruction!
<em>Jingxuan! It really is her!</em>
Lin Xun couldn''t help butugh at this moment. His eyes were bright with happiness, and his heart was filled with joy.
They had finally met again after more than a year with both of them unharmed and in good health. In this moment, the joy of reunion seemed to eclipse everything else!
However, the tion on Lin Xun''s face was quickly reced by frostiness.
His spirit sense had caught another presence that appeared calm and restrained but was actually fierce and extremely domineering.
