My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 89 This Heavenly Dao only allows fire, not lamps.
Before meeting someone in person, Bai Chijing rarely had such an opinion about them. After all, rumors can spread easily, and everyone inevitably brings their own personal views when describing another person.

But now, he couldn't help but have some reservations about the sword immortal Tai'a, who could be called the patriarch of Tujian Mountain.

After all, let's see what this person has actually done.
"Weird!"

Bai Chijing couldn't help but say.

This was because he felt a strange sense of familiarity with the style of this Tai'a Patriarch, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

However, after careful consideration, Bai Chijing realized that he had never met anyone like that before.

Then, Bai Chijing asked his third question: "What if people in later generations cultivated the twelve great evil sword techniques and the true Ten Thousand Swords Form?"

This is undoubtedly what Bai Chijing cares about most right now.

If this "shedding feather" of the Kunpeng Immortal cannot provide an answer, then Bai Chijing will have to go back to find the First Ling Jia.

He wasn't sure if the little girl could still keep her promise after the Grandmaster Tai'a intervened.

Fortunately, the jet-black feather moved quickly, and a breeze immediately gathered around. In the sound of the wind, Bai Chijing obtained the answer he wanted.

"He's definitely going to die..."

"Even if they don't die, they will find it difficult to have a place in heaven and will be unable to ascend..."

"And if one wishes to survive, then one can only become the protector and guide of those favored by Tai'a, thereby seeking Tai'a's mercy..."

Having obtained the answer he wanted, Bai Chijing did not hesitate. He stepped directly into the clouds, and amidst the auspicious clouds around him, he flew back to Tujian Mountain with the feather in his arms.

However, at this moment, a sword-wielding power that had been lurking in the world of Yao Tian for a long time was disturbed.

In the Realm of Yao, the Way of the Sword reigns supreme.

This world possesses its own profound mysteries of swordsmanship.

This trace of sword power accounts for at least 50% of the profound mysteries of swordsmanship in this mortal realm.

Throughout history, only one person has been able to do this.

Too!

hum!
The world seemed to be instantly divided, and as black and white flowed, Bai Chijing suddenly fell into a murky place.

Before he could see clearly, a figure emerged from the murky place.

"You... are alright." The figure was incredibly hazy, yet possessed a magnificent aura. These two descriptions together were undoubtedly contradictory, but this incredible scene appeared right before Bai Chijing's eyes.

In the deepest, most murky part, this figure emerged. He walked slowly, yet at the same time, very quickly, and in an instant, he became so large that he blotted out the sky and the earth.

Then, the figure uttered his second sentence: "However, my mind will not change because of this."

These two sentences seem somewhat disjointed, but they become clear when considered in light of the figure's identity and his past assessments of Bai Chijing.

The first thing he said was that he saw Bai Chijing with his own eyes and learned that Bai Chijing had not become the child of the Ten Thousand Holy Mother Tree Fairy.

For a mere mortal to cultivate to this level, one can imagine how difficult it must have been. Therefore, his "not bad" was a genuine compliment to Bai Chijing.

And this second sentence is the figure's way of indicating that his arrangements for Bai Chijing will not change in the slightest.

This undoubtedly makes the figure appear very domineering.

However, this figure believed he was qualified to be so domineering.

Seeing this, Bai Chijing, though not yet in danger himself, dared not hesitate and immediately cried out, "Mother, save me!"

This is an unprecedented crisis for him.

At the same time, Bai Chijing couldn't help but think to himself, "The terrestrial immortals of the Outer Heaven Realm are not allowed to manifest in the mortal world, but it's not a problem for immortals, right?"
Is it a case of "the magistrate is allowed to set fires, but the common people are forbidden to light lamps"?

At that moment, the instant Bai Chijing shouted, a small, fair hand slapped the murky ground to pieces and pressed down on the figure with undiminished momentum.

"First Ling Jia!" the figure said, revealing the identity of the delicate white hand. At the same time, it shattered all the binding forces, causing the delicate white hand to return empty-handed.

After all, this strike was not very damaging but extremely insulting.

However, such a collision would render this already shattered and turbid land unusable.

Bai Chijing was instantly freed. Without hesitation, he directly disappeared into the depths of Tujian Mountain. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the circle.

"Whee!"

A soft, melodious laugh, like the tinkling of silver bells, rang out. Though gentle, it seemed to contain boundless Tao and Dharma. Instantly, wind and clouds gathered above Tujian Mountain, forming dark clouds that blocked out the sunlight.

Thus, the dark and mysterious land that rarely appeared in the human world of Yao Tian revealed a corner of its shadow here for the first time.

It was an ancient city that felt both very familiar and extremely unfamiliar.

On the high wall built of blue bricks, there should have been a plaque bearing the name of this city, but only faint traces of the plaque remain. Something that could not be identified as the sun or the moon cast a pale, stark light, making the entire city's architecture strangely eerie, while also seeming to activate something.

In the distance, a faint mist drifted in, and further still, voices, the neighing of horses, and other noises began to drift over, but strangely, no human figure could be seen.

The lanterns hanging high on both sides of the city's streets were all faded, old red. A sudden gust of wind blew up the tea stalls by the roadside, revealing what looked like mold. Rows of dilapidated eight-immortal tables and long benches were arranged haphazardly around the area, occasionally shifting slightly, as if they were full of customers.

However, those tables were covered with scratches from human fingernails—red, gold, white…

The city is vast, stretching as far as the eye can see, and cannot be fully revealed, for some parts are indistinct, as if they cannot be manifested in this celestial realm.

However, even this fleeting glimpse is enough.

Because that circle in Tujian Mountain has disappeared at some point.

After all, what truly trapped First Lingjia was herself, and the arrival of the Fairy Maiden of the Myriad Holy Mother Tree had already helped First Lingjia resolve many of the karmic ties that had led her to self-imposed constraints.

At this moment, with the manifestation of the Netherworld, the cause and effect that ultimately bound Ling Jia was completely transferred.

But it wasn't transferred to the underworld, but rather to the path of swordsmanship in this mortal realm.

"You actually betrayed the Heavenly Dao and entered the Yin Netherworld..." A voice rang out. It was that figure. He looked at Tu Jianshan and explained the reason why the remnant of the Yin Netherworld in this corner would appear.

"The way of Heaven varies from person to person. What's with this talk of balancing immortals and Buddhas, and then using the demonic path to manipulate and monitor both sides? Becoming an immortal is like being an official in the court. Only a fool wouldn't run away!" A soft, sweet voice rang out, sounding very righteous, while secretly pointing fingers.

Upon hearing this, the figure snorted coldly, for he was the fool who hadn't run away yet. Faced with this reaction, the soft, sweet voice simply said, "Gong Qinghuang has already entered the Netherworld. Although her Bodhisattva status is in Buddhism, her true body is no longer there."

"You want to start another battle for the Great Dao with her? Don't even think about it!" Upon hearing this, the figure was naturally shocked and furious, after all, this had touched the sore spot in his heart.

Who in the heavens doesn't know about the great battle between Gong Qinghuang and the number one Ling Jia!
After all, in the traditional sense, the loser in a battle for the Great Dao must die, but Ling Jia, the first among them, is an exception. Not only can she spare the life of the loser, but she can also survive after being defeated, and even recover!

Tai'a can disregard Daojun, Tianqing Yuanshi Jade Emperor, and even Yao Xian, but he dares not treat the First Ling Jia like this.

This is an anomaly in the struggle for the Great Dao.

Even the children of the Ten Thousand Holy Mother Tree Immortals would respectfully address him as "Peerless Immortal," instead of calling him "that old man" as they would when meeting the Dao Lord.

Furthermore, don't be fooled by Gong Qinghuang's eventual victory back then.

The fact that Gong Qinghuang had to go to the Buddhist temple to condense the Bodhisattva position after completing her own responsibilities shows that Gong Qinghuang's victory was not a narrow one, but a Pyrrhic one.

Boom!

High in the sky, a thousand-foot-wide gap suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​clouds, and then a long sword fell to earth.

This is a long, deep blue sword.

The sword is three feet and three inches long, its blade faintly visible through it, appearing semi-transparent. A line of crimson gold is inlaid in the center of the sword's spine, surrounded by billowing flames, transforming into the wondrous image of a phoenix taking flight.

This is the story of Phoenix Seeking Its Mate.

The meaning is: You can sever the karmic fires of the mortal world, but you cannot sever the single thought of worldly desire in my heart!
Forged by Tai'a, it is one of the celestial swords of heaven.

The use of this immortal sword signifies that Tai'a has harbored murderous intent, and its arrival here brings boundless killing intent to the mortal realm of Yao.

In an instant, the shackles binding Daojun crumbled.

One after another, the figures of terrestrial immortals materialized. A long laugh echoed from Mount Wuxin, and a cultivator at the Outer Realm returned to the Outer Heaven Realm. Inside the Demon Lord's Palace, the Myriad Soul Banner fluttered, and figures of demonic cultivators at the Outer Heaven Realm stepped out. In the deepest part of the Floating Azure Palace, where seven-colored glazed tiles intertwined, a banished immortal opened his eyes. On Mount Tujian, the cries of swords echoed continuously, as former elders prepared to step into the mortal realm…

However, the next second, these terrestrial immortals from the outer realms were all scrambling back to their own grottoes in a sorry state.

He was terrified that a sword would fall on him.

However, with the arrival of the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, a sword aura appeared in the mortal realm of Yao Tian, ​​ahead of Ling Jia, and began to contend with the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.

The sword energy stretched across the heavens and earth like iron chains, piercing through the clouds.

The source of this sword energy is the famous sword in front of the Sword Cloud Hall on Tu Jian Mountain!
Zhang San was right; this famous sword is indeed a part of the vessel of the Avatar Sword. In other words, the current Yao Tian mortal realm is the territory of this Avatar Sword.

Therefore, when the Phoenix Seeks Its Mate fell from the sky, this immortal sword that descended to earth was angered.

However, the famous sword in front of the Sword Cloud Hall of Tu Jian Mountain was clearly not enough to contend with a celestial sword, so the famous sword on Bai Chijing's body also flew out.

After all, these two famous swords are originally one.

hum!
The sound of the swords shook the heavens and the earth. The two famous swords merged into one, transforming into a long sword with a blade like two intertwined iron chains. It was three feet and nine inches long, and its entire body was as black as ink, just like the feather that the Kunpeng Immortal had plucked.

But in the next instant, the sword transformed into a piece of pure white jade.

At this moment, the power of this longsword reached its peak. The strange phenomena of the past battle for famous swords were repeated, as if a fierce demon had opened its eyes. The sword energy of the immortal sword had arrived in the mortal world ahead of time.

The clouds trembled, and the light of day dimmed!
With the human world in such a state, the immortals in heaven naturally could not sit still, for the dissatisfaction of the Heavenly Way descended upon the heavens without any concealment.

This startled the Dao Lord, who was still in a deep sleep, awake.

"This is……"

Daojun sensed the displeasure from the Heavenly Dao. In his astonishment, he quickly calculated with his fingers and immediately understood all the causes and effects in the matter.

"First Ling Jia, Tai A, Xian Jian, Bai Chi Jing..."

Four incredibly awesome guys, and then one weirdo sneaked in.

At this moment, a chain appeared silently in front of Daojun, and with the appearance of this chain, the Dao injuries on Daojun's body were instantly and completely suppressed.

Because this is the shackles of Heaven!

The supreme treasure that Daojun once wielded had reached the pinnacle of constancy in terms of power.

Upon seeing this treasure reappear, Daojun's expression was quite strange, as he displayed a variety of emotions except for joy.

However, after a moment, Daojun still chose to reach out and grasp this shackle of heaven.

In an instant, it was as if an invisible boulder had appeared between heaven and earth, pressing down on the hearts of all the immortals in the heavens. And as it was in the heavens, it was no different on earth.

Even those who are not practitioners are subjected to this inexplicable pressure.

Then, Daojun's voice resounded throughout heaven and earth.

"First, Ling Jia, now that you have completed your cultivation and entered the Underworld, you should no longer linger in the mortal realm! Furthermore, you are not permitted to return to the mortal realm for the next three hundred years."

"Tai'a, the sword path of Yaotian in the mortal realm is also subject to the karma of the First Ling Jia, which is also a predetermined fate. However, you recklessly used the immortal sword Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, causing the immortal sword that was supposed to descend to the mortal realm of Yaotian to prematurely dissipate its sword energy. You are hereby punished to quickly return to heaven and enter seclusion for three hundred days without fail!"

If an ordinary immortal were to cause such trouble, no matter how influential they were, they would be reduced to ashes, for they would have incurred the wrath of Heaven.

However, these two are undoubtedly exceptions.

Therefore, no matter how dissatisfied Heaven is, it can only make one of them leave quickly, while the other goes back to Heaven to behave himself for three hundred years.

One day in heaven is one year on earth.

After the two main perpetrators were punished, Bai Chijing, who was supposed to be innocent, had his cultivation level continuously slashed down by a strange, invisible blade as Daojun spoke.

"Bai Chijing, a cultivator in the mortal realm, you have a talent for swordsmanship that can inspire celestial officials to compose poems. You could have used this talent to obtain the position of a flute-playing attendant under a peerless immortal, enjoying boundless immortal blessings. However, you recklessly harbored thoughts of anger and greed, causing turmoil in the mortal realm."

"From this day forward, your swordsmanship is completely severed, and you will never be able to wield a sword again. Originally, your cultivation would also be completely severed, but considering the difficulty of your cultivation, although your cultivation is severed, you will temporarily return to the peak of your immortal cultivation due to the loss of lifespan."

This is the Dao Lord speaking, and it is also the method of Heavenly Sound.

This is truly a matter of words becoming law; once spoken and decided, it becomes the ultimate truth of Heaven, and there is no possibility of it being changed!
