Embers of Sword

Chapter 267: Sow the seeds, reap the fruits

What Lu Yuzhen was after was not ancient texts, not treasures, nor the Ruyi Dao rules.

But it is the wandering souls in the Dayue Kingdom.

Nine million souls, with nowhere to stay.

He wanted to bring all the souls of the dead from the Dayue Kingdom into the White Paper Cave!
This is to pick up the cause and effect of becoming an immortal that Emperor Qi failed to achieve!

What kind of ambition is this?

"..."

Xie Xuanyi stared at the man sitting on the ground in front of him with an uncertain expression.

Judging from the level of cultivation Lu Yuzhen has demonstrated now, even without this good fortune, he can still firmly sit in the top ten in the world.

What would happen if I swallowed this luck of becoming an immortal?
"You must be thinking now that it is a terrible thing that I ate this good fortune. It would be best if you could kill me with a sword."

At this moment, Lu Yuzhen suddenly spoke.

This remark made Xie Xuanyi fall silent.

He had nothing to refute.

indeed.

He did have the intention to kill.

Xie Xuanyi has always been very clear that Lu Yuzhen's "kindness" to him was purposeful. This guy is in the mist, and everything he does is hard to understand.

If it was put before.

He had already drawn his sword.

But now... relying solely on the incomplete "Law of Destruction", the power is really not enough. Not to mention killing Lu Yuzhen, there is little hope of even breaking the protective aura of the Yang God Realm on his body.

"I do want to do it."

Xie Xuanyi said frankly: "But it's very difficult to kill you."

From the first time they met, Xie Xuanyi drew his sword without hesitation.

His attitude towards Lu Yuzhen has never changed.

"It is indeed difficult..."

Lu Yucheng said sincerely: "But the fundamental reason is that your sword is too weak and your realm is too low. If you were not 'Xie Zhen' but 'Xie Xuanyi', then you would not have no hope of killing me at this moment."

Xie Xuanyi didn't care at all and said calmly: "I have always been Xie Xuanyi, and I have never changed."

"You came here for the God Fruit."

Lu Yuzhen ignored him and chuckled, saying, "It seems that you also know very well that you need to recover your cultivation as soon as possible. Although the sword path has become a smooth road during this retraining, it is also difficult at every step."

"so……"

"You should have seen Emperor Qi's 'Ruyi Dao Ze'. Don't you think you are not moved at all?"

Lu Yuzhen looked up at the sky that was filled with thunder and said softly, "The God Fruit you are after is in that Dao Sea. Pick the God Fruit and forge a God Fetus. In three years at most, you can recover to your original peak state. Within ten years, you will stand on the top of Dachu Mountain and become the world-famous Yangshen Sword Immortal."

Is he going to give the Ruyi Dao Ze to himself?

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "You should know that I rejected Ruyi Daoze once."

"You were trying to make a point then."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "Killing Emperor Qi and dividing his Ruyi Dao Rule is different from the previous one... This is free and does not interfere with Dao Heart."

"Hindering."

Xie Xuanyi remained indifferent and said calmly: "Because this is a gift from you, I will still refuse it."

Lu Yuzhen pretended to be surprised: "You think it's dirty?"

"Nature is nature, there is no distinction between clean and dirty."

Xie Xuanyi certainly didn't mind the dirtiness, but he was afraid that Lu Yuzhen would cause trouble.

Xie Xuanyi said expressionlessly: "If it was given to me by Qingli, I would naturally accept it. But if I am not mistaken, after this battle, she should also 'go back'."

He avoided a certain unlucky word.

but……

This is what Xie Xuanyi wanted to express.

Lu Yu really spent a lot of effort to set up this situation for the Dayue Kingdom. He wanted to be the last straw that broke the camel's back for Emperor Qi, but in order to ensure that fate would win all, both sides must suffer losses. After this battle, the Dayue Kingdom was completely destroyed, and he was the only "winner" within a hundred miles.

Lu Yuzhen sighed: "It seems that although someone says he is not afraid of death...he is actually still afraid."

Xie Xuanyi sneered, "I finally managed to save my life from the North Sea. How dare I just eat the 'good fortune' given by a stranger?"

"Too."

Lu Yuzhen sighed and said, "For those who are still alive, it is better for fate not to eat them. If they eat them, they will die faster."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi didn't take this sarcastic remark to heart.

hum!
There was a golden glow between his brows.

The serious illness slowly emerged.

"So you still want to give it a try?"

Lu Yuzhen didn't look back, but he also heard the sound of the sword.

He sat cross-legged in the dust, with half of his body sunk into the sand.

At this moment, Master Lu's spiritual thoughts were mostly focused on the pure white saint.

The saint's image was cut off and turned into millions of white papers, which fluttered down the sky and were about to cover the entire Dayue Kingdom.

Xie Xuanyi stood behind Lu Yuzhen, staring at the Taoist priest in white robe with an expressionless face.

As long as the thought falls, this flying sword will cut down -

he knows.

This is Lu Yuzhen’s most “vulnerable” moment.

If you want to refine this Great Moon Kingdom, you must devote your energy to it.

The laws of the White Paper Cave Heaven are sweeping towards this ancient country belonging to Emperor Qi through the power of the Dharmakaya... Lu Yuzhen is ready to "take over" the entire secret realm.

"Although I know I can't kill you."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "But I still don't want you to smelt this Great Moon Country... so smoothly."

The words fell to the ground.

The flying sword slashed down.

"His!"

This ray of golden light pierced through the yellow sand curtain and the fluttering Taoist robe, and penetrated into Lu Yuzhen's flesh and blood without any hindrance.

Everything went unexpectedly smoothly.

"Ok?"

Xie Xuanyi was a little confused. He looked at Master Lu in front of him with puzzlement. This guy actually "arrogantly" withdrew his body's protective qi... Was he betting that he wouldn't draw his sword?

The serious illness was nailed into Lu Yuzhen's back.

The tip of the sword pierced through.

Xie Xuanyi originally wanted to test the "body protection energy strength" of Master Lu, but because he did not expect that the sword would be so smooth, he did not aim at important parts such as the heart and the head.

now.

The Taoist priest, whose body was pierced by the flying sword, let out a slight groan of pain from his throat.

Lu Yuzhen slowly turned sideways, looked at the black-shirted boy with a compassionate look, and smiled faintly: "It seems that you really want to kill me... Why don't you try to inject the 'Principle of Destruction' into my body, maybe I will 'return' like this, who knows?"

A "Taoist" who has no vital energy to protect his body and does not cultivate his physique is very different from a warrior.

The natal flying sword is in tune with the cultivator's mind.

The burning feeling coming from the tip of the sword...

Xie Xuanyi could feel that Lu Yu was truly a “lively” person.

If the law of destruction is released at this moment.

Can you really kill him?
"What a shame. You hesitated."

Lu Yuzhen sighed softly: "Those who hesitate will never have the chance to kill me."

next moment.

Lu Yuzhen raised his palm, with a golden glow, and slapped it on his chest, and his palm collided with the tip of the flying sword!

Shen Yan let out a wail, and was knocked back the way he came, crashing into the cave between Xie Xuanyi's eyebrows!
"Dengdeng..."

Xie Xuanyi took two steps back and also groaned, blood oozing from the corners of his lips, and his expression turned three points paler.

He looked at Lu Yuzhen in confusion.

This guy was hit by a sword for nothing, why is he like this? The next moment.

He understood what Lu Yuzhen meant.

The flesh pierced by the flying sword healed at an extremely fast speed. A streak of water passed across Master Lu’s brow. He was using the "Immortal Fountain" to heal his wounds.

obviously.

Even though he had just released the Principle of Destruction, he was unable to go against the vitality of the Immortal Fountain and kill Lu Yuzhen!

"Hululu."

At this moment, Lu Yuzhen no longer hides his biggest trump card.

He made a slight gesture, calmed his mind, and released the Immortal Spring from between his eyebrows.

This is a very full drop of water, which has a completely different texture from the water vapor in Xie Xuanyi's cave.

Lu Yuzhen's "Fountain of Immortality" possesses a total amount of vitality far greater than Xie Xuanyi's!
only……

It seems that it is missing something compared to the Immortal Fountain that Xie Xuanyi possesses.

As the water droplet rolled, a wisp of water vapor was released, which fell on the wound on the chest and healed all the sword wounds.

But then.

This wisp of water vapor actually disappeared.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes and stared at the scene.

If you guessed correctly.

Lu Yuzhen does not have the recovery properties of his own Immortal Fountain.

Is this why he is targeting me?

"Aren't you always curious about what I'm going to do to you?"

Lu Yuzhen turned around and faced Xie Xuanyi.

His expression was still full of smiles.

But what he said next was chilling.

"I might as well say it."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "The cause and effect in this world are not created by heaven and earth, but can also be planted by humans. Planting causes and reaping results... is the common sense of the Tao. The reason why I saved you, helped you, saved you, advised you, and did all this is nothing more than to make you grow up faster."

He stretched out his hand and stroked the sword wound on his chest.

The blood flowed and gradually dried up.

After a few breaths, a scab will form immediately.

After a few breaths, the scab will fall off and the skin will be as smooth as before.

"The red dragon luck that Xie Sheng carries is the result of the karma planted by Chongkan."

"And your fountain of immortality."

"That's the cause and effect I'm targeting."

Lu Yuzhen smiled and said, "I can't wait for you to reach the top of Yangshen. Before you reach the top, I wish you the best more than anyone else in the world."

“Finally I said it.”

Xie Xuanyi wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, laughed at himself, and said softly: "Sure enough, my premonition... was correct."

The moment the coffin was opened in Yuzhu Town.

Xie Xuanyi felt that.

Someone is "staring" at me.

Xie Sheng's death was actually a wake-up call for himself. Even if Lu Yuzhen continued to use riddles to deceive people today, Xie Xuanyi could guess the Taoist's true intention.

In his mind.

The truth is actually clear.

There was a high probability that I was being treated as that important "promotion feed".

"Your premonitions are always accurate."

Lu Yuzhen smiled calmly and said, "I think it will be easier for you and me to get along if we are honest with each other now."

The smile on Xie Xuanyi's face gradually disappeared.

He pressed two fingers on the center of his eyebrows, and a sword lotus slowly emerged above his head.

This sword energy lotus is missing a piece.

But it still emits a dazzling light that captivates the soul.

"..."

Lu Yuzhen silently glanced at the sword energy lotus and said with emotion: "In fact, you are really lucky. You have a powerful master who protects his shortcomings. I wonder how many people wish for this."

This sword energy lotus.

This is Xie Xuanyi's most powerful trump card now.

The sword intent left by Zhao Chunyang is enough to make the Yangshen realm cultivators suffer!
"My master is the best master in the world."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly: "If I die, he will avenge me."

"What are you talking about? Put that lotus away quickly."

Lu Yuzhen said with a headache: "How can I let you die? Didn't I make it very clear before? You have to practice hard and become a Yang God, and wait for me to take your 'Tao'..."

There was a slight pause in the voice.

The lotus began to rotate in the reverse direction, and the sword intent overflowed, but it did not flow towards Lu Yuzhen, but instead gathered around Xie Xuanyi.

The tip of the sword turned and pointed at himself.

Master Lu saw through Xie Xuanyi's intention.

He said sadly, "Stop pretending. You don't want to die at all... Besides, with the Fountain of Immortality here, it's impossible for you to commit suicide."

"..."

In fact, Xie Xuanyi was not seeking death. He was using this method to see if he could alarm his master to come out of seclusion in the "near-death situation".

It is a pity.

Perhaps because the master was in seclusion, the lotus did not bring the echo that Xie Xuanyi was expecting.

"Xie Xuanyi, put away the lotus and let's return to the topic we started with..."

Lu Yuzhen sighed again and said slowly: "If I give you a divine fruit after clarifying our relationship, would you like it?"

Xie Xuanyi wouldn't have wanted it before.

Because he knew that Lu Yu was not a good person.

And now.

Lu Yuzhen exposed his own shortcomings, indicating that he used Xie Xuanyi as a tool to "root the seeds of cause and effect."

In this case, the God Fruit is even more impossible to obtain.

It's not a matter of fate.

It's a question of dignity.

There was only a whistling sound among the wind and sand, and no other sound.

Xie Xuanyi just looked at Lu Yuzhen coldly.

"very good."

Daoist Master Lu was very satisfied with Xie Xuanyi's reaction. Although the lotus was still hanging high in the sky, the situation was finally back under his control... and he had finally waited for the most exciting moment of his hard work to set up this game.

"I said before, the most interesting thing is the human heart."

Lu Yuzhen stood up slowly.

The sound of yellow sand all over the sky was covered by wind and snow.

To be precise, it was not wind and snow, but scraps of paper. Under the coverage of Lu Yuzhen's cave heavenly laws, these scraps of paper made a rustling sound like wind and snow, which was so real that it was almost impossible to tell the difference.

"Now, you have two choices."

Lu Yuzhen said softly, "First, watch me refine the entire Great Moon Kingdom and bring all nine million people in the Great Moon Kingdom into the White Paper Cave Heaven. I am not talented, but with the help of this good fortune, I will probably reach the realm of heaven and man soon. At that time, I can really do whatever I want."

These words are outrageous.

But Lu Yuzhen does have the confidence to be so arrogant.

"two."

Lu Yuzhen put his hands behind his back and smiled, "These nine million lives are for you to swallow and refine. I saw with my own eyes that you took them into the Sword Qi Cave Heaven... Your Immortal Spring grows too slowly. If you can refine them, you will surely be able to make further progress soon. I don't want this great fortune of reaching the sky in one step, I will give it all to you."
