Chapter 89: Breaking Through Obstacles, Sword Path Breakthrough

  Chen Jiu looked at the crazy monks in front of him and smiled: "Well, since you're looking for death yourselves, I shouldn't let you down."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu's hand holding the Pangu banner shook: "Come on, who comes first".

  "A monk with a long sword in hand came towards Chen Jiu and stabbed him."

  The aura of chaos rose and fell, and the cultivator turned into dust in an instant. The students nearby looked at each other in shock.

  Chen Jiulian smiled coldly and released the Taiji diagram from his hand, transforming it into a yin-yang fish that fixed the space-time causality.

  In the fearful gaze of the crowd, Pangu's flag gently swept by, and all the monks turned into dust.

  "Illusory realm, such a realistic illusory realm, what are we waiting for to break through?" Chen Jiulong smiled, the Pangu fan in his hand, the Taiji diagram disappeared, Chen Ji was still Chen Ji, standing on the stone steps, quietly looking at the distant Tian Gong.

  "This world is really ridiculous to have Pangu Flag and Taiji Diagram, I guess this illusion evolves based on the strongest treasure in each person's heart, unfortunately, Pangu Flag and Taiji Diagram are not things of this world, so the illusion has a flaw."

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu looked at the crowd of monks and students beside him, furrowed his brow, and found that there were actually several unfamiliar monks.

  No big deal, Chen Jiu continued to climb the stone steps, and the illusion reappeared. However, since Chen Jiu had a precedent, this illusion became more realistic but did not make him completely infatuated.

  When Chenjiu reached the ninth step, the last monk who had entered suddenly woke up and looked around at the crowd immersed in their fantasies. He was originally waiting for his size, but accidentally saw Chenjiu, and his smile was stifled again, as if he had eaten a big fart, feeling very uncomfortable.

  "Who is this person, how can he be so formidable, and actually made me fall nine steps back?" The man turned his head, looking at the remaining scholars, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, and a knife-like hand chopped towards the scholar beside him.

  "Ah!" a mournful cry, but it wasn't from the bookworm, rather from one of the later monks.

  The monk spat out fresh blood and fell to the ground.

  "How could this be, I couldn't even move my hand, there's a mysterious and wonderful power protecting everyone." The man muttered to himself, then glanced at Chen Jiu, ignoring his own injuries, wiped the bloodstains, and stepped onto the second step.

  The students outside who didn't have tokens looked at the students standing there in a daze and knew that something unexpected had happened. One by one, they suddenly felt fortunate, having previously been happy about not having tokens, but now feeling relieved instead.

  It wasn't until Chen Jiuxi woke up that things started to take a turn for the better.

  Each of the scholars had a thoughtful expression on their face, but just as Chen Jiudeng stepped onto the ninth step, the expressions of all the scholars changed again and their hearts were lifted.

  It wasn't until they saw the monk get hurt by a strange power that they felt at ease, and this frightening experience made everyone else feel lucky for not having followed him in.

  "Pffft!" A student spat out a mouthful of blood, sent flying by an extraordinary force.

  The crowd rushed forward to help him up, but the student still had his eyes tightly closed and was breathing weakly.

  This student seemed to be a precursor, and then one after another, students fell down, fainting.

  Of course, some students have also reached the second level.

  The beginning is the hardest, once you have made preparations, everything else will be easy.

  Yi Xiao and Li Xinyi, Chen Yi woke up one after another, then stepped forward again.

  This is an unconventional battle, what's being tested is one's state of mind, and has nothing to do with actual strength.

  Chen Jiu's state of mind had clearly left everyone else in the dust, with a gap that was growing bigger and farther away.

  Three days later, Chen Jiu had arrived at Yun Xiao.

  Looking at the palace shrouded in mist and clouds, Chen Jiu revealed a hint of a smile. Unexpectedly, he had won.

  Unexpectedly, just as Chen Jiu was facing the last step, a figure appeared in front of him.

  "Who are you?" Chen Jiu asked in puzzlement.

  "I am me, I am also you" That voice was surprisingly similar to Chen Jiu's.

  "What does it mean?"

  "On this step, the first person to climb up needs to defeat themselves in order to pass through. So I say you're very lucky, this is the palace's first time being born, and you are also the first person to climb up this step."

  "Defeat yourself?" Chen Jiu asked again.

  "Not bad, a perfect self, one that can exert its power to the extreme, are you ready?"

  Chen Ji rubbed his nose: "Let's start".

  That black shadow slowly distorted, and a Chen Jiu appeared in its place.

  Looking at that familiar face, Chen Jiu felt a bit awkward.

  "Drawing a prison on the ground", both of them chose this magic spell at the same time.

  That voice said this is the perfect self, and also the self that has exerted its power to the extreme. It's just unknown how much of one's own strength can be exerted now, so it's good to test it out a bit.

  "Jian" Chen Jiuyi said in a loud voice, and suddenly there was a sword in his hand.

  Faith is power, Chen Jiu's curse technique has made great progress.

  With a flick of the long sword in his hand, the power of the curse attached to it, two identical figures, identical moves, identical actions, began an intense and extreme confrontation.

  The sound of weapons clashing echoed incessantly, swift swords and curses flew back and forth, both were masters of their craft, but Chen Jiu still fell at a disadvantage.

  Chen Jiu's sword was fast, but the one in front of him seemed even faster, so fast that it had reached an extreme, as if he had already reached his limit and was about to break through.

  "My curse technique is also available to the other party, if there's a difference, it's just the timing of using the curse technique during battle, but when it comes to combining swordsmanship and curse techniques, I'm far inferior, this isn't scientific at all".

  As his clothes were constantly being torn apart by the opponent's long sword, Chen Jiu's mind was immersed in his past learning, constantly adjusting himself according to the other self in front of him.

  The way of the sword is to pursue the ultimate speed, but who in this world dares to say that their swordsmanship has reached the ultimate?

  Quick Sword Path, next should be slower than fast, combining movement and stillness.

  At this thought, Chen Jiu's movements in his hand suddenly slowed down. When he first drew his sword, it was so fast that the movement couldn't be seen clearly. Now, although the movement could be seen clearly, it felt as if it were a flower in the fog.

  Chen Jiujian's sword suddenly broke through, and the figure in front of him naturally made adjustments, his movements slowing down.

  "I'm speechless, to defeat him, I must first defeat myself. Even if I've reached the perfect state, at most I can only tie with my opponent. How can I possibly defeat him?"

  Chen Jiu and his opponent simultaneously stopped their movements. A sharp glint flashed in Chen Jiu's eyes: "I curse, petrify."

  The Chen Jiu opposite dodged the petrification technique and lightly drew a trajectory. The sky was filled with thunderbolts.

  "This is the art of seal script" Chen Jiu's eyes widened.

  The taste of being struck by lightning was unbearable, Chen Jiu did not dodge and took a direct hit.

  After dispelling the thunder and lightning, Chen Jiu quietly looked at the other Chen Jiu in front of him. Then, a series of flower patterns flashed on his right index finger, and Chen Jiu was making an attempt.

  Add the art of Fu Seal, and then add the art of Curse.

  Threads of silk intertwined on fingertips, forming mysterious patterns.

  "Right, although the other party can copy my divine powers, the most critical divine power seed, the power of heaven's creation and transformation, is absolutely impossible to replicate. If they could really replicate all divine powers and techniques, then what's the point of other cultivators in this world?"

  At this point, a thread of heavenly creation power was extracted from Chen Jiu's divine seed and attached to his fingertips.

  Once, twice, thrice, it was unclear how many times had passed, but Chen Jiu's ultimate move had finally been brewed.

  Chen Ji's hand slowly stretched forward, gradually approaching the perfect self in front of him.

  The action is very slow, just like drawing a sword, clearly seeing the opponent's movement, but unable to dodge.

  With a "crash" sound like shattering glass, Chen Jiu found himself standing on that last stone step once again.

  With Chen Jiu's intelligence and wisdom, seeing himself motionless, how could he not understand that he had been calculated again? However, this calculation was true and false, and even if he was careful, it would be difficult to avoid the opponent's way.

  Looking back at the fellow cultivators still struggling halfway up the mountain, Chen Jiu revealed a hint of a smile: "This feeling of being above all others is really great, I like it."
