Destiny is ashes
Chapter 829 Sword Light 3 Zhang
Chapter 829 Sword Light Three Thousand Feet (4400)
Standing on the city wall of Chonggang Town, Yan Chengju raised his head and looked at the sky above.
The immortal energy originating from the ancient immortal ruins rose into the sky, breaking through the evil clouds and opening up the sky, revealing the dark void and disordered stars, like a constantly rotating, strange and eerie eye.
And from all directions, airships and shuttles broke through the sky and came like meteors, descending and falling around the city, and then burst into some deep or eye-catching beams of light.
Beams of light pierced through the dark clouds, rising and falling one after another. The shortest was a hundred feet long, and the longest was about three hundred feet long. They were fiery purple in color, and there was a faint hint of flaming snakes hovering, licking the sky.
“I really like to show off…”
Yan Chengju muttered something, but didn’t feel strange.
Breathing in and out spiritual energy, transforming into strange visions – every time the Four Cities Competition takes place, teams from various academies will demonstrate their strength and make a name for themselves.
Both name and reality are important. It is only natural that one should be famous for his reality. Whether it is for a folk genius to attract investment from a company in the future, or for a child of an aristocratic family to enhance his competitiveness in the family, this resource is needed, and Yan Chengju himself is no exception.
This was actually his first time experiencing such a big scene. Although he was the head of this generation of No. 1 Middle School, the first heir of the Yan family, and had sufficient talent and strength, even he himself knew that the Yan family’s foundation could not fully bring out his talent. It was okay when he was a student, but in the future, those real heirs of big families and big companies would surpass him and leave him behind.
So now, we need to try our best to fight for it.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Chengju’s body was surrounded by five-colored spiritual light. As lines of mysterious ancient seals swirled around him, a huge amount of spiritual energy was absorbed and exhaled, merging, and in an instant it turned into a striking white light, breaking through the seven hundred-foot sky and touching the evil clouds. Faintly, the shadow of a mountain cauldron could be seen floating in the clouds.
At this moment, all the previous light beams were suppressed, leaving only the light beam in Chonggang Town that attracted everyone’s attention.
“Is it the kid from the Yan family?”
“Seven hundred feet of spiritual light, the shadow of Dao pattern, the foundation is indeed solid, one step further than before, the Purple Mansion will not be a problem in the future, and I am one of my generation.”
“I don’t know when the Yan family will be able to produce another True Lord. If so, the ability of Luofu’s refining industry will definitely be further improved.”
“If the offspring of the Yan family boy is stronger than him, then maybe it’s possible.”
Seeing this scene, in the distant Xuanye City, some real people and even real monarchs from all over the world who had gathered here long ago and were invited by Luofu to a banquet were overlooking this scene from the fairy platform. They pointed and talked, drank the wine, and talked and laughed while evaluating the strength and talent of the younger generations.
Everyone’s comments on Yan Chengju’s performance were good, but not amazing. Even those students in their own team who were far inferior to Yan Chengju couldn’t help but tease: “Daoyou Tianyi, this generation is a bit average. If the younger generation of Luofu is at this level, they can’t suppress other dragons who have crossed the river.”
The one called ‘Tian Yi’ is none other than the director of No. 1 Middle School, a real person from the Chen family of Luofu.
He had a calm expression, a thick black beard, and was holding a jade cup but not drinking.
Tianyi Zhenren did not respond to the teasing of others, but looked towards the other side of the sky: “The people from Xuandu are coming.”
Before he finished speaking, a sharp scream suddenly came from the north, and Taixu above the sky was suddenly pierced by a deep sword light, and then fell to the ground like a meteor, raising a cloud of dust.
Then, a ray of spiritual light suddenly rose up into the sky, clear and cold, light green with white, and it broke through the clouds in an instant, crossed thousands of feet, and stood tall in the evil cloud!
All the real people present were surprised: “Xuandu’s high-speed Void-breaking shuttle was successfully developed?”
“This spiritual light is really powerful! The higher it rises, the closer it is to the evil cloud. At that time, it will be extremely difficult to move forward even an inch!”
“Seven hundred feet high, to be able to break through the evil cloud, one must be a first-rate genius. A thousand feet high… who is coming?”
“It’s Yin Xuanyan from Xuandu!”
Hearing the surname, one knew that the other party was from the Yin family of Xuandu, a genuine descendant of the Dongtian bloodline. However, a thousand-foot spiritual light was extremely rare even for people from the Dongtian, which amazed everyone.
But soon, the clouds in the southwest direction suddenly lit up, and a large airship broke through the evil clouds and slowly descended. Another thousand-foot-long spiritual light lit up, with a mysterious color. Although it was not obvious, it seemed real.
“Qi Luoyang from the Lianshan Qi family is another heir of a great family.”
Soon, as more cloud boats flew by and airships and airships descended, spiritual lights rose and fell, standing like a forest. There were indeed only two lights a thousand feet high, but spiritual lights of five to six hundred feet, or even seven to eight hundred feet were not uncommon.
Although Yan Chengju’s beam of light was still dazzling and eye-catching, and ranked at the top, it was no longer noticed. It was just first-rate and could not compete for the top spot.
Surrounding Chonggang Town, hundreds of spiritual lights and energy intertwined and collided with each other. Although the immortals were cautious, all the visitors were young and energetic. Even if there were really freaks who were born with great cunning, and chose to endure the provocations of their peers, they would not be regarded by their peers as having patience and not showing their emotions, but would be pointed at on the head and loudly mocked as a coward.
Yan Chengju’s face changed slightly. Although he was indeed a first-rate genius, at this moment there were seven or eight geniuses from outer cities who were only slightly inferior to him and also had spiritual light of six or seven hundred feet, who deliberately came to compete with him for spiritual energy. Although those with higher spiritual light than him would not lower their status to compete with him, the waves of implicit confrontation between them also made it more difficult to maintain their spiritual light.
“Qi Luoyang, is there no one in Lianshan? Why are you, a lazy guy, the only one here? Where are the people from the Jiang family? Where is your eldest brother from the Qi family? Why did you let a little brother show up?”
“Brother Yin, the younger generation of our Jiang family is still in elementary school. You don’t want to bully children, do you? But I heard that you, a descendant of the Cave Heaven Bloodline, were almost knocked out of your sword by a female student from a small company at the Xuanyang Banquet. I think you are too old and useless.”
The light green sword light and the dark ghost light collided with each other. Although there was a strong smell of gunpowder on their lips, they were indeed just exchanging qi and energy, and there was no real conflict. However, even so, the drastic changes in spiritual energy made the other students whose foundations were not solid enough and who just kept raising their spiritual light change color. Their own spiritual light was shaky, like a candle in the wind.
Originally, Yan Chengju’s spiritual light shouldn’t have been knocked down, as he had a very solid foundation, especially after sparring with An Jing and Nian Quan, he valued his own foundation even more. But he didn’t know if this group of idiots from the outer city had discussed it beforehand, and they came to cause trouble for him one after another, causing his spiritual light to shake and drop by fifty feet.
“Where did this idiot come from? You don’t think that if you can beat me in a group fight, you can trample on our Xuanye City!”
Yan Chengju’s face darkened. He could see that it was most likely that the people from Xishan City, Qingyu City and Sanyuan City had colluded with each other and deliberately suppressed their host Xuanye City to show their power!
But they got one thing wrong.
“Idiots, haven’t they asked who is the strongest among the younger generation in Xuan Ye City now?”
There were flying shuttles and sword boxes again, and the spiritual light was leaping – as the descendants of several large families also led their teams to arrive one after another, there were five thousand-foot-long lights, and the spiritual light of Xuanye City completely became a roadside weed, inconspicuous.
But at this moment, a ray of golden light suddenly lit up in the warehouse of an ordinary grocery store in Chonggang Town!
The platinum-colored spiritual light was like a sharp sword, or even more like a meteor flying against the sky. In an instant, it broke through the layers of intertwined energy, cut through the clouds, and stood upright between heaven and earth!
Its height broke through the evil cloud, punched a hole directly, and reached the sky. With this break, the evil cloud’s original suppression of the spiritual light was immediately weakened. The other spiritual lights that were originally seven or eight hundred feet high were not only not suppressed by the platinum spiritual light that seemed to have not noticed them at all, but also seemed to have not regarded them as opponents at all. One by one, they rose hundreds of feet and hundreds of feet in an instant. In an instant, the spiritual light of thousands of feet spread out, dazzling!
Yan Chengju was one of them. A platinum spiritual light leaped up and broke through the suppression of the aura, making him feel that his spiritual light suddenly surged. In an instant, it actually soared to one thousand two hundred feet – and those who originally had a thousand feet were even more astonishingly terrifying, all of them doubled and reached more than two thousand feet!
However, the platinum spiritual light was even more exaggerated to the point of being terrifying. It was three thousand feet high, and the residual flame had not dissipated, dyeing the sky into a piece of platinum flame. It was almost, or even could be said to be, a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth in the Purple Mansion Realm!
The spiritual light was like a forest, but the platinum sword light was like a mountain! Towering and majestic, although it was not overwhelming, its existence alone made people hold their breath subconsciously!
All of the top geniuses and children of famous families were staring at this “strange” light in a daze. If before, they still had some thoughts of competing secretly in their hearts, but now, except for a few arrogant people, most people just took a deep breath.
“Who is this? Why has he never appeared on the list?!”
“No! A lot of big things have happened in Xuanye City recently. Let me see… Could this be…”
“An Xuan!”
On the Xuan Ye Immortal Platform, all the immortals were stunned for a moment, and then they said solemnly: “Although we have heard rumors about him…but is he so terrifying?!”
“What kind of talent is this? He can break through to the Purple Palace now, right? I heard it’s a fairy root, but has the fairy root ever performed like this in the past?”
“Extraordinary. Moreover, it is indeed the Taibai Haoling Divine Forbidden Law, the orthodox immortal way, the Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation method, so terrifying!”
Obviously, they all knew An Xuan’s name, but they were not very clear about the specific details. When they saw him for the first time today, everyone present was shocked.
“An…Xuan.”
On the outskirts of the city, Chen Yunfei, who had returned to his nobleman’s attire, no longer unkempt, and looking like a roadside cultivator, was wearing a black shirt and staring at the spiritual light thoughtfully: “What kind of foundation is this? Immortal spiritual roots are so terrifying?”
He had no intention of showing up and competing with other big families and descendants of Dongtian, because his strength did not need to be proven by the weakness of others, but… An Xuan’s strength could actually make others strong as well?
“interesting.”
Lowering his eyes, his expression became serious: “Sure enough, what the ancestor said is wrong, this An Xuan… may not be a threat to me!”
Qi Luoyang and Yin Xuanyan, who were originally competing with each other, were also stunned. They looked at each other, then stopped and tried their best to activate their spiritual light, but they were still not as good as An Jing!
“Where did it come from?”
Yin Xuanyan looked stunned, but Qi Luoyang smiled with great interest, looking at the three thousand feet high sword light with bright eyes: “Interesting! Really interesting!”
“An Xuan, you’re really not boring!”
“Actually, there is such a thing?!”
In the field, Yan Chengju was stunned. He thought that once An Xuan made a move, he would instantly suppress all the outsiders and force them to bow down and be humble. However, he never thought that An Xuan did not even think about suppressing others. Instead, he broke the evil spirit of heaven and earth, allowing everyone to go further and break through their own limits…
But! Even so, even if everyone benefited from it and their spiritual light surged, no one could catch up with him!
Three thousand feet of spiritual light is not the limit. An Xuan, you… don’t you regard anyone as an opponent at all!
At this moment, An Jing actually didn’t think so much.
According to ancient scriptures, Lingxu Mingyu, the meaning of Mingyu is this: geniuses from all sides gather together to distinguish the strong and the weak, the levels of their abilities. Those who were originally unknown can also make a big splash, and those who are already famous can become the focus of all parties.
According to Nian Quan’s plan, he should have shown his strength from the very beginning and attracted everyone’s attention, but Nian Quan’s plan did not include details such as piercing the evil cloud.
An Jing never minds that his presence can break down barriers and make others stronger.
In his previous life, he had been an officer and the eldest senior brother of a martial arts school. A powerful being should serve as a guide for others, leading to stronger self and stronger peers, and then making the whole world a better place.
If the strong can only distinguish themselves by bullying the weak, it only proves… that they are despicable!
“Perhaps this is also a kind of ‘natural master’.”
Manifesting his own spiritual light, An Jing looked around at the other spiritual lights present. It must be said that the Tianyuan Realm definitely has a lot of heritage. In just this four-city competition, among the younger generation, there are actually 20 to 30 people who are comparable to Yan Chengju, and there are nearly 10 people who are better than him. It is not surprising that there are several True Lords. These are all seeds that can definitely achieve the realm of True Persons, and it is only one generation.
If the Mingjing Sect can also produce several True Lords in every generation, then even with the lifespan of the warriors, it will definitely be able to quickly accumulate more than ten or twenty fellows. By then, there will probably be a few Heavenly Lords as well, and the name of the upper sect will be completely worthy of its name!
“That’s about it. No one should be able to surpass me. According to Nianquan’s plan, the first step is to establish this reputation.”
While thinking, An Jing continued to look at the surrounding spiritual light. He vaguely distinguished a few flames that Nianquan had told him were worthy of attention. “Indeed, they are all quite good. The spiritual light is bright and there is no haze. It seems that the principal and the directors did not lie to me. It is indeed only young people who are not infected by the slightest evil spirit and whose hearts are still upright that can explore the ancient ruins of the immortals.”
“But on the other hand, the older generation of the Tianyuan Realm might not be all rotten. Otherwise, based on the relationship with the Dao Court, how could the Pure Land people in the Ancient Immortal Ruins fight them for so long?”
In An Jing’s mind, the idea of ”pure land” similar to Taiming Sect’s “kill all the old generation of Tianyuan Realm, kill all” flashed across his mind. This was the instinctive impulse of the Seven Evil Tribulations. But just as An Jing casually glanced at a ray of sword light in the corner, he suddenly froze and his pupils shrank slightly.
“what?”
The sword light was not high, and even after An Jing broke the suppression, it was not a thousand feet long, but it was very restrained, and it could be seen that its owner was suppressing himself and was not showing his full strength.
And the sword intent in this sword light…
Somewhat similar to Fuxie!
An Jing activated his life-viewing pupil and looked directly in that direction, but saw a young man in white with his face covered standing silently on one side of the Lianshan camp. He was inconspicuous and did not notice An Jing’s observation.
“Fuxie, does he have any fragments of you? Or has he come into contact with your fragments?”
The people of the Mingjing Sect and the sword cultivators never use riddles. An Jing asked directly, and Fu Xie also observed carefully, then said in a deep voice: “It has nothing to do with my fragments, but it does have a little sword intent!”
“And… it’s weird!”
After thinking for a while, Fu Xie said bluntly: “His sword intent is a bit like the aura of my fragment in the Bitter Silence Seal under Broken Blade Mountain!”
“In other words, An Jing, this may be my sword intent that has been corrupted by the devil!”
