Chapter 228: 24 Years Old, Sword Master Haki
A plop sounded out as Daoya Old Man fell into the seawater, causing the others to look back.
The little black snake called out, “Where’s that bad old man?”
Zhou Xuanji pointed downwards as he said, “He fell in.”
Seeing his reaction, he evidently did not have any intentions of going down and rescue him.
“What are you waiting for?” Jiang Xue asked, perplexed. At that moment, Ah Big descended and used his claws to fish up Daoya Old Man.
Ah Big tossed him onto the sand, and the others crowded around him.
Daoya Old Man was curled up like a prawn, his limbs trembling and the whites of his eyes were showing as he muttered, “Nightmare… Nightmare…”
Chongming Demon Monarch went up and kicked his bottom as he asked, “Are you pretending?”
Zhou Xuanji kicked the old bull’s bottom and cursed out, “Show some respect.”
After kicking Chongming Demon Monarch away, Zhou Xuanji walked behind Daoya Old Man.
“Hurry up and get up, old man,” Zhou Xuanji said as he frowned. After saying this, he took out the Holy Light Redemption Sword and poked Daoya Old Man’s bottom.
Seeing this, the others stared with wide eyes.
Even though they knew that the Holy Light Redemption Sword had special abilities, poking there…
Daoya Old Man’s body spasmed and his eyes closed. When he reopened them, they were back to normal.
His limbs no longer trembled and Zhou Xuanji quickly withdrew his sword, looking calm.
After Daoya Old Man regained his senses, he subconsciously touched his bottom.
“You hit your bottom on some rocks when you fell down; hurry up and tell us what you prophesied,” Zhou Xuanji hurriedly asked. In the past when Daoya Old Man had done divination he had once coughed up blood, but had never been in such a wretched state before.
Could it be that rainbow light was not simple, and really was some kind of otherworldly object?
In the Northern Wilderness, there were many stories about immortals descending.
Most immortals had been beaten down and their cultivations could not be compared to before. Despite this, they could still sweep across the human world.
Daoya Old Man stood up and said in a low voice, “When I prophesied that otherworldly object, I saw a person. He was standing on a mountain of corpses and it looked like the 10,000 miles around him were all corpses. They were heaped to 100 feet tall, and I saw Xuanhe, Xian Xianghua, the Huangquan Drake King, Ta Tianchen, Yang Di’s corpses, and even all of you… except Xuanji.”
Hearing this, everyone’s hairs stood on their ends.
Beixiao w.a.n.gjian hurriedly asked, “Who killed us?”
With Daoya Old Man’s prowess in divination, he was right almost all the time.
Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Huang Lianxin, Han Shenbo, Chongming Demon Monarch, and the little black snake felt incredibly anxious.
Zhou Xuanji frowned, but he did not believe in fate.
“I’m not sure. I haven’t seen him before. I could only see that he was standing on a mountain of corpses, and that he had white hair and an incredibly savage expression…” Daoya Old Man sighed, his face incredibly pale.
Even though he had lived for thousands of years, he was still afraid of death.
“Let’s head out then. Since you saw this from prophesying that otherworldly object, let’s go and take a look,” Zhou Xuanji said. He did not know why but he suddenly thought of the Ten Thousand Year Prince Xian Xianghua had mentioned.
Hearing this, everyone else nodded.
If they did not investigate this, they would not be able to eat or sleep.
“That thing was also flying inland, so we won’t have to make a detour,” Han Shenbo said. After speaking, he turned around first.
Everyone flew on their swords and quickly followed behind.
On the way, they continuously asked Daoya Old Man questions.
No one would not feel startled or afraid after knowing they were going to die. They wanted to know some more details to be prepared.
“Why wasn’t Revered Teacher included? Can Revered Teacher resist that person?” Xiao Jinghong asked out of curiosity. With Zhou Xuanji’s personality, if they died, he would definitely take revenge for them, no matter how powerful the enemy was.
Daoya Old Man frowned and said, “I’m not sure; I haven’t been able to prophesy this boy’s fate this whole time.”
The others could not help but look at Zhou Xuanji.
“Don’t worry, with me here, none of you will die. Even if you die, I’ll go down to the Yellow Springs and charge into the cycle of reincarnation and bring all of you back,” Zhou Xuanji said as he smiled.
If anyone else had said these words, they would have definitely scoffed.
However, since it was Zhou Xuanji who said this, they believed him.
This was trust that had been built over a long period of time.
Daoya Old Man looked at him and sank deep into his thoughts.
They continuously flew and pa.s.sed over mountain after mountain.
The sun set and moon rose. Hours later, the sun reappeared in the east.
As the first glimmer of light spread across the sky, the group found a ma.s.sive crater.
This crater was in a forest which caused the surrounding trees to lean precariously, and some of them had been burned.
The ma.s.sive crater was 10 feet wide in diameter and three feet deep, and looked like it had been created by a meteor.
At the bottom, the group saw thin violet crystal shards.
Daoya Old Man waved his right hand, putting together the violet crystal shards. They formed half an eggsh.e.l.l, causing everyone to feel a chill down their spines.
Was it really an otherworldly creature?
“There is an extremely powerful aura lingering in the surroundings; that thing has not left for long,” Chongming Demon Monarch said as he frowned, a trace of fear in his eyes.
No matter if it was humans or demons, they were afraid of the unknown.
“Forget it, let’s go and find Skyfall and settle down to focus on cultivating,” Jiang Xue suggested, and Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the others nodded.
They all looked at Zhou Xuanji.
“Alright. Only if we’re strong enough will we be able to deal with everything,” Zhou Xuanji said in agreement. Following this, Daoya Old Man started to prophesy the location of Skyfall.
After a while, the group headed off.
After they left, a figure walked out from the forest.
It was a young man.
He had white hair and his skin was somewhat withered. He wore crude clothes made of wolfskin and was not wearing any shoes.
He looked up with his pair of empty eyes and muttered, “The aura of the Tianxia Map. That thing has appeared again.”
…
One month later, Zhou Xuanji, who was resting under a tree, heard the Sword Spirit’s voice.
“a.n.a.lyzed that the Sword Owner has reached 24 years old. Gacha started!”
“Ding! Congratulations, the Sword Owner has obtained [Gold] Great Mercy Sword, [Violet’ Abyss Demon Sword, Sword Master Haki!”
There were two legendary swords, and neither of them were low grade.
Their information appeared in front of his eyes:
Sword Name: Great Mercy Sword
Grade: Gold
Description: A Buddhist sword that gathers merciful intent and can direct the merciful intent into the bodies of others.
…
Sword Name: Abyss Demon Sword
Grade: Violet
Description: A demonic sword that comes from a deep abyss. It has absorbed boundless demonic qi, baleful aura, and malicious intent. Once used, one’s killing intent will be aroused.
They both looked decent, and Zhou Xuanji was not left disappointed.
He then turned his attention to the Sword Master Haki.
Could it be a sword technique?
“Sword Master Haki is a type of divine ability. Once one inherits it, they will be able to command billions of swords in the world. As long as your opponent’s cultivation is not higher than yours, they will be unable to control their swords and you will be able to do as you please with them. This divine ability consumes spirit energy, and the higher the grade of swords and the greater the numbers, the more spirit energy it consumes.”
The Sword Spirit introduced the ability, causing Zhou Xuanji’s eyes to widen.
A divine ability!
What an overpowered divine ability!
In the world of cultivation, divine arts were above energy techniques. Very few people could cultivate divine arts, and with a divine art, one would be able to sweep across the land. They could even become one of the Northern Wilderness’ Top 100.
Zhou Xuanji did not hesitate and chose to receive the Sword Master Haki!
