Chapter 530 - 46: A Unique Art Style
The Heavenly Sword Sect has thirteen Death Tombs in total.The oldest Death Tomb has existed for over six thousand years, and with the passage of time, its size continues to expand.
To the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Death Tombs are akin to tumors growing within the body.
To this day, they have completely failed to find a solution. In fact, the thirteen Death Tombs have even begun to absorb nutrients from the twenty-eight Sword Tombs.
The only consolation is that the number of ordinary Sword Tombs has also increased.
The Mountain Protection Array relies on thousands of Sword Tombs to firmly seal the thirteen Death Tombs.
Whenever a Death Tomb shows signs of losing control, a large number of Sword Cultivators sacrifice themselves to purge the Sword Ghosts, aiming to minimize the taboos within the Death Tombs.
It wasn’t long ago.
The Heavenly Sword Sect welcomed the birth of its fourteenth Death Tomb.
It was named [Xiangjian] ("Side Room").
Because Xiangjian Death Tomb is pieced together from countless side rooms, the taboos contained within it primarily manifest as curses, making it exceptionally tricky to handle.
Xiangjian Death Tomb resembles a meat tumor covered in sticky fungal mats.
On the periphery of the Xiangjian Death Tomb, hundreds of Sword Cultivators stand suspended in midair. The Sword Cultivators are distinct and segregated, each representing one of the twenty-eight Sword Tombs.
Among them, Thunder Constellation dominates with unrivaled momentum.
Their dominance stems mainly from Thunder Constellation’s chief, Yu Xiao, who commands a massive Sword Shuttle—a thunder-imbued ship spanning four to five kilometers—floating above the tomb.
Occasionally, Yu Xiao can be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged within, attuned to the Thunder Refining Body technique.rable due to smoke.
His superior Sword Intent [Flashing Light] glows brilliantly, filling every inch of space. Sword Ghosts entering the smoke lose their direction completely.
Jiang Xi remains firmly in place, merely maintaining his Immortal Creation Body.
Qi Yunfei remarks, "A minor trick. Using one’s body as the array eye—how long can he possibly endure? Pure folly."
Before Zhang Qiyang can speak, Master San Yan interjects, "He’s waiting for Taiyi. A true chief should shield his fellow comrades."
Qi Yunfei counters, "Taiyi hasn’t reached the Body Integration Realm—how could he possibly spare the energy to protect others."
Zhang Qiyang studies Zhu Rong Monarch’s Immortal Creation Body for a few breaths before controlling the Sky Dome Mirror, revealing other Sword Cultivators in succession.
It must be said: Great Sun Sword Cultivators entirely differ from the other Sword Tombs in their response strategies.
They have immense trust in Li Mo’s abilities and steadfastly defend themselves without worry over his potential dangers.
Sky Dome Mirror reveals Ye Zhuo Daoist, and all cultivators exchange uneasy looks.
Master San Yan asks, "Hm? What is this person’s name?"
"..."
Qi Yunfei hesitates for a long moment before answering, "Ye Zhuo."
The mirror displays a Night Patrol Deity prowling the shadows of side rooms. Its form barely resembles a humanoid, crawling on all fours with bulbous lumps protruding from its back.
Luo Yang covers his face in discomfort.
Ye Zhuo Daoist has astonishingly parasitized the Night Patrol Deity’s lump, reclining within while leisurely absorbing nutrients. Occasionally, he drives his Lifebound Flying Sword into the foreheads of Sword Ghosts to manipulate their movements.
It’s clear to everyone that Ye Zhuo Daoist is employing a Dual Cultivation Technique.
Even across the Heavenly Sword Sect’s history, Ye Zhuo is truly one-of-a-kind.
Luo Yang explains helplessly, "Ye Zhuo’s Sword Heart is usually pure—this is likely a desperate ploy in the face of danger."
Master San Yan wears a strange expression, while Zhang Qiyang’s aged face becomes visibly awkward.
"Focus on Taiyi."
"If everyone’s waiting for Taiyi to assist, let’s see whether he fits the role."
Countless eyes turn to the Sky Dome Mirror as Qi Yunfei begins searching for Li Mo’s presence, yet even half an hour’s effort yields nothing.
"Eh?"
Unable to locate a Refining Void Stage cultivator, Qi Yunfei is bewildered for the first time.
Unwilling to believe, he presses his right hand against the mirror surface, where an infant’s facial features emerge on his palm, and intricate patterns proliferate around the mirror’s frame.
The Sky Dome Mirror blurs momentarily, revealing a faint silhouette.
"Hiss."
All cultivators collectively draw sharp breaths.
Li Mo gallops wildly within Xiangjian, treating opportunities others dread as methods for refining his body. His flesh revels in all manner of torment.
Under the influence of taboos, Li Mo’s physical resilience steadily grows.
As shoulder wounds begin to ooze blood, even before the injury spreads to his chest, the Great Wilderness Immortal Body immediately develops the ability to suppress the bleed.
"Haha, Blessed Land Cave Heaven—truly a Blessed Land Cave Heaven!"
The shadows beneath Li Mo’s feet ripple, teeming with dense clusters of eyeballs, while two Great Sun Sword Cultivators peer out from the darkness.
Bai Shuo Daoist advises, "Senior brother, the Eye Lady is a thousand meters southwest."
Li Mo turns quickly, crashing through several walls before punching the Eye Lady into oblivion. Foregoing his Lifebound Flying Sword, he instead enchants his limbs with Sword Intent, engaging in hand-to-hand combat.
"An Immortal Body!"
"Ru Dao Sword Intent..."
Qi Yunfei furrows his brows. "The taboos in Xiangjian will only grow more troublesome. Hmph, relying solely on raw physical might to overcome all techniques—impossible."
Yu Xiao speaks calmly, "The paths all converge. Sanctification through the flesh is not without precedent."
