Born with immortal seed

Chapter 835 Great Demon-Subduing Flying Needles

"Sword Master Qin Wulie!"

Kuang Juemin lowered his voice, afraid of disturbing the peerless sword immortal in the sky.

Every disciple of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion would be considered a true master elsewhere.

Without sufficient talent in kendo, one is simply not qualified to enter the gates.

Swords are extremely rare and not available in every generation.

In the past, there were those who barely passed the line and became sword disciples to support the sect.

The further you go, the higher the requirements for the sword.

For nearly 100,000 years, he has not been able to subdue all his fellow disciples, possessing indisputable talent in swordsmanship, and is willing to leave the position of Sword Master vacant for several generations.

Qin Wulie's appearance set a record for the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. He was unanimously approved as the new Sword Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion when he was still in the Nascent Soul stage.

Counting upwards, the earliest among the pavilion masters to show off was only confirmed after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Reaching the Nascent Soul realm involves a great deal of uncertainty.

If they were to perish midway, not to mention the lost resources for training, it would be a major blow to the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

No one knew what kind of sword talent Qin Wulie possessed; all that was known was that the Nascent Soul stage experts in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion unanimously praised him highly.

The fact that these people dared to assert his potential to merge with the Nascent Soul stage shows how much confidence they had in him.

Qin Wulie's arrival silenced the noise in the arena, briefly shifting attention from the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace to him.

Everyone was curious whether some unknown event or secret had led Jianzi to this place.

Let alone a fifth-order flying sword, even a near-sixth-order flying sword wouldn't matter.

As the heir to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Qin Wulie couldn't possibly be without a sixth-tier flying sword.

That famous sixth-tier Nine Heavens Righteous Sword was the sword of successive generations of sword masters, inseparable from them.

However, only a swordsman can wield it; once he loses his identity, the Nine Heavens Sword will leave him.

The fact that Jianzi himself is standing before the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace will only lead to all sorts of wild speculations.

Regardless of what they thought in their hearts, on the surface they still showed him considerable respect and greeted him from afar.

After all, when traveling, Jianzi represents the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

Qin Wulie's swordsmanship talent was rumored to be extraordinary, and it was impossible for a power of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion to fabricate news about its successor.

Among the sword cultivators present today, very few are at the Refinement of Void Realm; there are at least a dozen or so.

Many of them came specifically for Sword Master Qin Wulie, wanting to see what would be different about opening the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace, which was given special treatment by the Sword Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

But Qin Wulie, after unleashing his sword light, made no words or gestures, and simply found a hilltop to sit on.

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion stepped forward to pay their respects, but none of them dared to say a word; they all retreated respectfully.

Only when a sharp tearing sound was heard did everyone's attention return to the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace.

It was as if a lid had been knocked open, sending out a spray of golden sparks that collided and flew back and forth above.

A moment later, Venus converged into a single line and shot straight into the sky.

Hundreds of sword lights shot out, rushing towards Venus in a frenzy.

Many sword lights collided midway, and they fought each other.

However, all the cultivators of the Refining Void Sword Sect watched from the sidelines, and none of them made a move.

This is an unspoken rule under the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace: the Void Refiner only attacks near-sixth-tier flying swords at the final moment.

Otherwise, if the strong bully the weak, even if all the Nascent Soul cultivators joined forces, they would not be able to snatch a flying sword from the Void Refiner.

Before Venus had even set, three more spurts of clear water shot out, seemingly escaping in different directions with a sense of sentience.

More sword flashes appeared off the field, and a group of soldiers withdrew from the battle for Venus and launched separate attacks.

In an instant, sword light flashed, and the sky seemed to have been dyed, displaying a riot of colors.

The Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace spews out flying swords at an extremely fast frequency. Before the first flying sword has even been assigned to a master, the third wave of flying swords flies out with five-colored light rings spinning around it.

The sword lights blocking the way were all shattered, as if a child were facing a powerful man, and would be sent flying at the slightest touch.

"This is the moment!"

Kuang Juemin pressed down on the sword light, remaining motionless, watching as the flying sword in front of him passed by the best opportunity to strike.

On the surface, he appeared calm and collected, but in reality, he was filled with anxiety.

He desperately needed this fifth-tier flying sword to prove to those around him that he was capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the family's revival and to persuade the elders of the clan to relinquish all resources.

He persuaded several of the family's creditors to extend the repayment period, promising that he could bring the family back on track once he took office.

The immortal crystals I incurred in previous years to quell the trouble will be paid back in no time.

He persuaded the elders of the Gong family, whose daughter he had fallen in love with, to agree to let the two of them become Daoist partners.

The flying sword in his hand suddenly rose higher, locked onto the five-colored halo, and an astonishing change occurred.

One side's sword light surged with increasing momentum, while the other side's five-colored halo suddenly plummeted.

It's as if there's a passage between the two, and they are balanced and symmetrical.

This ability to bring those who are clearly superior to oneself down to a level close to the same standard is precisely the path to equality for the people.

This kind of sword intent excels at defeating the strong with the weak.

Even those who have just entered the Nascent Soul stage will be dragged down to the same level as those who have reached the Nascent Soul perfection stage.

Furthermore, by leveraging the combat advantages of sword cultivators and their exquisite swordsmanship, they can create an advantage over cultivators of the same level.

Kuang Juemin's three sword bones respectively provided him with the talent to master swordsmanship instantly, two parallel paths of sword intent that mutually reinforced each other, and the ability to repeatedly extract bones to create swords—three completely different sword supernatural abilities.

This meant that he rarely encountered real challenges among sword cultivators of the same level.

The five-colored halo showed signs of weakening, clearly being restricted by Kuang Juemin's divine power.

Seeing the opportunity, the others intensified their efforts, and for a moment, the precious light shone brightly, and their sword intent soared into the sky.

Kuang Juemin was not greedy; he dragged one of the sword lights back to his side.

Just as the dust settled on the numerous flying swords and they all found their owners, a ray of silver light shot out from the sword furnace, melting gold and stone.

Its power was different from all the previous flying swords, clearly a level higher.

On the contrary, the number of cultivators vying for the prize decreased by 90%, as everyone was aware of their own limitations.

Apart from the Void Refinement cultivators, a few self-important Nascent Soul cultivators who attempted to make a move were defeated halfway through.

"What a strange sword light, as thin as a cow's eye, yet penetrating everywhere... It turns out to be a set composed of nine fifth-order flying needles!"

Kuang Juemin was already satisfied with obtaining a fifth-tier flying sword, and watched the changes above the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace as an observer.

The silver light kept changing, like a fine rain falling, its sharpness and penetrating power causing nearby cultivators to retreat one after another.

Flying needles are extremely difficult to control, and their bodies are fragile, making them incomparable to traditional flying swords in direct confrontation.

However, once mastered, it can break through all kinds of protective auras, and its destructive power is astonishing.

In the vast Seven Treasures Immortal Realm, only one sword sect focuses on flying needles and has a specialized cultivation method.

The last flying sword ejected from the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace should have been a near-sixth-tier flying sword, but unexpectedly it wasn't just one, but a set of nine flying needles.

In terms of lethality, it is indeed close to the sixth rank.

Regardless of whether they were comfortable using their hands or not, those cultivators at the Void Refinement stage did not back down.

While exchanging blows and demonstrating their mysterious sword techniques, they also drew a circle on the ground to imprison themselves, preventing even a single flying needle from escaping.

After a fierce battle, a middle-aged cultivator with unusual attire and a sword in one hand stepped forward and slashed the sword from afar.

Despite the seemingly unremarkable sword strike, the Void Refinement Sword Cultivator opposite him let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground, his limbs going weak.

There were no visible sword wounds on his body, but his face was deathly pale, as if he had suffered a severe loss of vital energy.

"Please step aside, everyone. I am determined to obtain this set of Great Demon-Subduing Silver Needles... My master, Abbess Tulong, has switched to the art of flying needles and is in dire need of a suitable divine weapon. In the future, if we ever have a confrontation, Shang Heng will definitely give way."

With a single stroke of his sword, the remaining seven or eight Void Refinement Sword Cultivators were momentarily speechless and dared not refute him.

"Shang Heng of the One Heart Sword Sect! It hurts both the user and the attacker; what an undefendable Heart Sword!"

When Kuang recognized the man, he was horrified and took two steps back.

In the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm, apart from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion which holds the top position, the One Heart Sword Sect and three or four other sects are the strongest.

This school is unique; it does not specialize in swordsmanship, nor does it seek external forces. Instead, it follows the path where the stronger the mind, the greater the power.

The fundamental supernatural power is to injure a person's primordial spirit, exchanging injury for injury, unstoppable, and acting on the opponent's mind beyond everything.

Then, due to the strength of his own primordial spirit and the secret technique of self-healing, he achieved victory.

No one likes to mess with an opponent like this, who is unpredictable and can at the very least fight you to the death.

In the end, you secluded yourself to recuperate for hundreds of years, while others were back to their energetic selves in no time.

"But Jianzi didn't make a move. Could it be that he wasn't after the near-sixth-tier flying needle?"

Kuang Juemin looked around and noticed that Qin Wulie was sitting still, seemingly having no interest in the Great Demon-Subduing Silver Needle.

The battle in front of the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace quickly became clear as Shang Heng made his stance clear.

Three people bowed to each other as a gesture of goodwill and voluntarily withdrew.

That's because they felt the chances were slim and there was no need to offend the One Heart Sword Sect, so they might as well make a good connection.

Master Tulong was the only daughter of the previous leader of the Yixin Sword Sect, and her status was special. Since the flying needles were related to her path of cultivation, there was definitely no room for negotiation.

The remaining four, with remarkable tacit understanding, joined forces, attempting to eliminate their biggest rival first.

"Then I'll have to offend them."

Shang Heng sighed and swung his sword four times in a row, his sword moves even appearing somewhat clumsy and rigid.

With each strike of his sword, the bitterness on his face deepened, and another wrinkle appeared on his forehead.

The four Void Refinement Sword Cultivators groaned simultaneously; some staggered backward, some lost their balance and fell, and some fainted...

Compared to the Heart Sword, even the most exquisite sword techniques seem pale and powerless.

In an instant, he killed four fellow cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, causing an uproar in the arena. No one dared to stand up and compete with Shang Heng for this set of Great Subduing Demon Silver Needles.

Everyone knows the fame of the Heart Sword, but very few have actually experienced it firsthand, and many still don't take it seriously.

Only after witnessing it with my own eyes today did I truly understand how terrifying the Heart Sword is.

If we were to rank the combat strength of those at the Void Refinement stage in the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm, Shang Heng would probably be among the top.

After he took away the Great Demon-Subduing Silver Needle, the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace did not retract its lid and quell the heat wave as usual.

The roar continued, accompanied by surging heat and the pushing of heavenly fire, leading everyone to believe that more flying swords would be unleashed.

At this moment, Qin Wulie finally made a move, carrying his sword and gourd, and walked step by step closer to the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace.

"Could it be that Jianzi is about to do something big?"

Kuang Juemin looked up and felt that the opening of the Heaven-Opening Sword Furnace was shrouded in an indescribable mystery.
