Chapter 49: The Difference Between Immortals and Mortals

  (It was exploded to the sixth place on the new book list again, everyone's recommended votes topped it up, and it exploded back!)

  Boom!

  Both knees on the ground, that seventeenth generation disciple was actually pressed down by Qitian's palm, his Taoist powers dispersing, unable to move at all.

  "Zitian, you're asking for death, you've gone mad! How dare you treat me like this!"

  No matter what, being forced to kneel in front of so many people today under Qi Tian's oppression will inevitably leave a stain on this disciple's future path, an unremovable shame that may become a hindrance to their cultivation in the future.

  "Qitian, you are now an enemy of our Xuanbing Sect! Golden Water Xuan Bell, fall!"

  Jin Quan's face turned stern, his left hand tossed out the Golden Water Mystic Bell, which was the size of a baby's fist. The bell floated up, emitting a majestic aura that shot upwards and pressed down on Qi Tian with overwhelming force.

  Hmph!

  Golden Spring's left palm slapped, Golden Water Path's power surged violently, smashing onto the Golden Water Mystic Bell. In an instant, it was as if ten thousand thunderbolts exploded, a golden blue sound wave transformed into thirty-six mouths of swords and sabers, instantly enveloping Qi Tian's surroundings in all directions.

  "The supreme Taoist secret, the great bell sound of metal and water!"

  "Jin Quan Shixiong has really succeeded, it is said that this Taoist formula has evolved to the extreme, surpassing even the 18 Thunder Soldiers of Purple Thunder Peak, capable of transforming into 108 phonetic soldiers, 72 earthly fiends, and 36 heavenly nets, forming a heaven-earth net, leaving no room for escape."

  Many disciples were shocked and felt that Jinquan's understanding was extraordinary, no wonder he could get the guidance of that one.

  One palm pressed down on the seventeenth generation disciple, dispersing his entire body of Taoist energy. Qi Tian flew back, and two sword hums sounded from behind him. Two sword auras, one gold and one yellow, tore through the air, one sharp and unstoppable, the other deep and majestic like a mountain. The two sword auras seemed to possess spiritual intelligence, directly bypassing Qi Tian and colliding with the thirty-six tone soldiers, causing the sword resonance and Taoist resonance to crash into each other. The air rippled like water, shattering trees and sending fallen leaves swirling in all directions.

  "Yun Fei, you've actually mastered the sword mantra! However, with your current cultivation level, which is only at the initial stage of Sword Embryo Realm, it's not even worth looking at. Jin Shui Da Zhong Yin, break for me!"

  Jin Quan let out a loud shout, his palms waving rapidly as the power of the Golden Water Path seemed to strike with each beat. The sound waves from the Golden Water Mysterious Bell surged and churned, causing the thirty-six sound soldiers to suddenly swell up. The majestic dao rhyme was like a golden mountain and a blue sea, almost taking on a physical form. The two sword energies were instantly shattered, Yun Fei letting out a muffled groan as his entire body was struck by lightning, violently sent flying ten zhang away.

  "Not an opponent, can't even be compared. Yun Fei has mastered two top-grade sword techniques, but Jin Quan is already at the Recognizing Spirit Realm, his Tao rhyme is almost condensed into a physical form. If it's a life-and-death battle, he can definitely kill with one strike."

  "That's right, Qitian has just entered the sword embryo realm, and Master Jinquan will definitely be able to suppress him."

  A group of Xuanbing Sect disciples transmitted their voices, and they quietly sealed off all four directions, blocking the retreat route for both Qi Tian and his companion.

  "Draw your sword!"

  A cold hum sounded, and the Purple Bamboo Sword transformed into a golden sword light that fell into Qitian's hand.

  Hummm...

  A sharp sword aura rose up, the purple bamboo sword's power split, like a gentle willow in the wind, but a fierce and earth-shattering edge emerged.

  The majestic life energy roared, the endless sharp aura burst out of his body, the purple bamboo sword chopped continuously, and in an instant, thirty-six swords were cut out, each one revealing its sharpness.

  Pfft——

  Pfft——

  The thirty-six sounds of the soldiers shattered all at once, and many disciples' hearts were racing wildly.

  "There is actually such a sword body, Yun Fei can't compare at all. This sword body can almost rival the Dao Sword."

  He successively chopped and shattered the Thirty-six Sounds of the Heavenly Army, his footsteps shaking the earth like an ancient mountain crushing down. The sword's rhythm was almost perfect, and a faint lightning glow appeared on the purple bamboo sword in his hand.

  Qitian's footsteps were too fast, his vital energy was overwhelming, the sword body emitted a sharp edge, and with one step, he crossed out, like a sword coming out of its scabbard. In an instant, he arrived in front of Jinquan, about ten feet away.

  Purple bamboo sword power chops, in an instant, three swords are cut out. These three swords are different from before, each one almost contains the sword rhyme of Qitian's whole body. The innate sword energy is continuously unsheathed, also relying on the sword body that has passed through the Xuanlei Tribulation, otherwise, the innate sword body would be severely injured if it operates like this.

  Despite this, with Qitian's current sword body, he can only consecutively slash out three swords, and these three swords are like three Qitians striking at the same time, increasing his combat power by three times.

  Hmph!

  The golden water clock mourns with a sorrowful cry, as a crack appears.

  Pfft——

  With a mouthful of blood spat out, Jin Quan's eyes showed incredulity as he pointed at Qitian and roared in anger: "You dare to destroy my Golden Water Mystic Bell! I will abolish you!"

  A cold light flashed in his eyes, for the first time, a thread of murderous intent was born in Qitian's eyes.

  Recite

  A faint sword hum rose from the Purple Bamboo Sword, with a pre-heavenly sword aura floating and shining like gold and jade. Just as Qitian was about to make another move, a voice came from afar.

  "Get out!"

  The voice was not loud, but it clearly entered everyone's ears. However, this division of power and control made Qitian change color.

  "It's you!"

  Jin Quan and several other disciples of Xuan Bing Sect looked ugly, gazing at a white stone not far away.

  A pure white Taoist robe, black hair like ink, standing on the blue sky and white stone, a faint aura of Tao naturally emanates from his body, as if he has sunk into the Great Way, giving people an unreal feeling.

  "Run!"

  The next moment, Jin Quan gritted his teeth and withdrew the cracked Golden Water Mystic Bell. He turned around and left, and the group of Xuan Bing Sect disciples didn't dare to stay, all dispersing in a short while. Soon, by the spiritual creek, only three people were left: Qi Tian and two others.

  Bo Qing Tian stood with his back to the two, and just his silhouette brought a tremendous pressure to Qi Tian, as if the sky was collapsing, the earth was changing color, and a heavy snow was falling, freezing thousands of miles.

  Terrifying!

  As he met this person several times, each time, Qitian felt that this person was different from before. Now, he understood that it wasn't his own limited understanding that created the illusion, but rather this person was constantly improving and refining their comprehension of the Tao, changing every day.

  Such a person can be said to be born with the Tao, and has already transcended the ordinary categories of human beings.

  Two people came to the back of Bō Qīng Tiān, not far away. Qi Tian opened his mouth and said: "Why help us."

  Turning around, Bai Qingtian's gaze was calm as he asked back, "Is it that you think the disciples of Qingyun Sect's various peaks are inhumane?"

  Qitian was slightly stunned, silent for a few breaths, and nodded.

  He Qingtian smiled lightly and pointed to the nine peaks of Qingyun, saying: "Do you know what is different about my Qingyun Nine Peaks from other places? What is different about these spiritual streams from other places? What is different about the hundred beasts between the peaks from other places?"

  "What's different."

  He muttered to himself, looking up at the vast sky, with nine peaks of blue clouds and misty haze, purple air rising from the smoke, and spiritual streams running through them, spiritual energy soaring, turning into mist, lingering for years without dispersing. Moreover, a few cranes flew over the sky, their cries echoing, entwining between the nine peaks.

  All peaks are mysterious and wonderful, all streams give birth to spirits, all beasts give birth to wisdom, but there is one thing that has never been sensed by Qitian from beginning to end.

  "Great!"

  "It's not bad, it's just the aura, the difference between the immortal and the mortal is in the aura. So, in my Qingyun Sect, you won't see the politeness and humility of the ordinary sects, they don't exist in my Qingyun Sect."

  He pointed to the sky and said, "Just like your innate sword body, it is a heavenly fate, a predestined affinity. The path of immortality is vast and boundless, but in the end, there will be no relatives or descendants left to contend with. What remains will be the affinity with heaven and the fortune of the immortal path. The immortal path does not eliminate the seven emotions and six desires; on the contrary, it makes them stronger. The principle lies in that the immortal path can dominate the overall situation, but it is not necessarily feasible to practice it thoroughly. Only this body of cultivation is the foundation."

  The two fell silent, and after a while, Qi Tian spoke in a low voice: "Why tell me all this."

  His gaze condensed, like two icicles falling onto Qitian's body. In this instant, Qitian only felt that the sharp aura all over his body seemed to be frozen, trapped in an eternal slumber.

  "Because you're the one I chose."

  The majestic life energy surged, the sea of consciousness boiled, and after a moment, Qitian broke free from his gaze and said, "I don't understand."

  Bu Qingyun slightly shook his head, looked up and down at Qi Tian, and said: "The Pre-Heaven Sword Body is indeed extraordinary, among the 17 generations, only Qifeng Kui can barely withstand my Dao recognition. However, there are some things that you will naturally understand when the time comes. If the timing is not right, it will disturb the heavenly fate, and I will also lose my aura."
