Chapter 15: Observing Pangu’s Creation and Realizing the Nine Sword Styles of Creation!
“At that time, in Purple Heaven Palace, numerous prehistoric monks gathered. Three thousand visitors from the mortal world all arrived. Except for the Heavenly Destined Holy Throne futon that originally belonged to the Heavenly Lord, the others were all absent. On the high seat, Hongjun’s head was crowned with heavenly clouds, and the jade butterfly of fortune was hanging in the palm of his hand. A vast and majestic Taoist essence radiated from his body, with the mysterious three thousand laws around him. It made countless onlookers feel reverence.
After a while, Hongjun slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the empty futon beneath him with a sigh. Then, he officially began the second sermon.
“In the first sermon, I explained the achievements of the Great Luo. Now it’s time to discuss the teachings of the quasi-saints.”
Immediately, a grand Taoist resonance echoed throughout the universe. Golden lotuses sprang up, and a profound Taoist essence filled the air, along with the essence of the three thousand laws, creating various extraordinary phenomena. All those who came to listen to the sermon were inspired, focused, and attentive. Among them, Yuanshi was excited, hoping to gain knowledge to astonish the Heavenly Lord later. He regretted not attending the sermon in Purple Heaven Palace.
The Heavenly Lord returned to Buzhou Mountain and immediately knelt before Ye Xiu, expressing his decision to decline the opportunity to listen to the sermon and focus on practicing supreme swordsmanship.
Ye Xiu was pleased with the Heavenly Lord’s dedication to swordsmanship. He understood that to attain purity, one must concentrate on one discipline. Therefore, he decided to teach Heavenly Lord the supreme swordsmanship.
Without uttering a word, Ye Xiu raised his hand, and a beam of light shot into the Heavenly Lord’s mind. The Heavenly Lord felt a sudden shock, and a picture of a sword appeared in his mind—a worn-out stone slab with nine mottled sword marks, each emanating a terrifying sword intent.
The Heavenly Lord was astonished by these marks, each containing unparalleled sword intent and exquisite sword techniques. Even as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he felt dizzy and experienced a tearing pain in his primordial spirit after a single glance.
“These nine sets of sword techniques were deduced by merging my swordsmanship with the observation of Pangu’s creation of the world during my enlightenment. They are unique in the world,” explained Ye Xiu. “If you can comprehend them all, you will be unrivaled, able to defeat any foe and stand as a supreme figure in the prehistoric world.”
“Practice to the extreme…even being able to defeat the Primordial Saint,” Ye Xiu stated calmly.
His words were casual as if he were discussing something ordinary.
“Can you kill the Primordial Saint?!! Is this… so powerful?” The Heavenly Lord’s heart raced upon hearing this revelation.
And when he learned that Ye Xiu had witnessed Pangu’s world creation, he couldn’t believe it. Was his master among the most formidable beings in the same era as Pangu?
At first, Ye Xiu’s identity had been mysterious and enigmatic, and the Heavenly Lord had speculated that he might be a peerless figure from the same era as the Path Ancestor Hongjun. But now, Ye Xiu seemed even older, hailing from the primordial chaos.
The Heavenly Lord felt waves of astonishment and disbelief, struggling to comprehend the enormity of this revelation. However, he had no doubts about Ye Xiu’s words. The sword diagram was unlike anything from the primordial world but seemed to come from an even more ancient era.
As someone deeply immersed in the Tao of the Sword with keen perception, the Heavenly Lord realized that these nine sword marks contained nine terrifying and extraordinary intents. Even if he possessed the sword diagram, he doubted he could fully grasp one ten-thousandth of the sword intent with his current cultivation level.
Nevertheless, he was confident that mastering even some of these sword techniques would make him a formidable force in the prehistoric world.
“Thank you, Master, for bestowing this knowledge. I will practice diligently and live up to your expectations!” Heavenly Lord expressed his gratitude.
After receiving the sword diagram, the Heavenly Lord was overjoyed and expressed his gratitude by bowing repeatedly.
“In the coming days, focus on cultivating your sword comprehension on Mount Buzhou,” Ye Xiu advised before disappearing.
The Heavenly Lord acknowledged and, when he raised his head, found that Ye Xiu had vanished. He then delved back into the sword diagram, immersing himself in its profound meaning and techniques.
At this moment, Ye Xiu had already embarked on a journey through the river of time, moving against the flow, traversing the cosmos, and descending into the boundless sea of blood…
