Chapter 194: Flying Smoke Swords of the Immortals

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:02:34
    A volcanic ravine that seemed to be still partially extinguished appeared before Ding Huan.

    The focus was not on that; what mattered was that Ding Huan saw a man pierced through the chest by a long sword, pinned to a cliff wall.

    The man's head was hanging down, and his long hair was also scattered.

    Ding Huan's mind fell on the man, and then his heart tightened. Is this guy still alive?

    Ding Huan detected a faint trace of life, and to his astonishment, it was indeed a living being.

    Ding Huan's divine sense fell upon the hilt of the sword, which bore two tiny, ancient characters: Feiyan.

    It feels so familiar. Ding Huan strained to ponder over these two characters.

    He quickly remembered the origin of the Feiyan sword. This was a legendary sword owned by Ye Zhongxian, the Flame Immortal Luo Xuan in Chinese mythology. The sword was originally one, but it was divided in half. Both halves were made from refined solar fire spirits.

    No wonder the sword appeared here; this is a volcanic area.

    This sword must be the legendary Immortal Sword hidden in Chuangjian Mountain. It can be seen that all swords born from Chuangjian Mountain are of the Fire attribute.

    The sword he had previously obtained was also of the Fire attribute.

    Wasn't it said that this Immortal Sword was taken away by the first strongest person, Ji Xin Ting? How come it's still hidden deep in Chuangjian Mountain?

    Ji Xin Ting.

    Ding Huan's gaze fell on the guy with a long sword piercing through his chest. Could it be that this guy is Ji Xin Ting?

    Impressive, the first strongest person in the Triple Starland, Ji Xin Ting, was even pierced and killed by the Feiyan Sword while seeking it out in Chuangjian Mountain.

    No, it should be that he hasn't died yet, but no one has come to save him, so death is just a matter of time.

    Ding Huan carefully retreats, preparing to leave this place.

    The Immortal Sword is indeed good, but since it can even pierce and kill Ji Xin Ting, it's best to keep a distance.

    He is still quite self-aware. He has no fortune to enjoy such good things, at least not now. He doesn't have the qualifications.

    This is his fortune field, where he has grasped the Great Cosmic Technique of drawing down lightning strikes. It's also a dangerous place.

    As for saving the man, Ding Huan had never even considered it.

    Ji Xin Ting, the strongest person in the world, fell here. If he went up to save the man, was he tired of dying too slowly?

    As Ding Huan was retreating, he heard a faint voice:

    "Please help me, I Ji Xin Ting will repay you with my life..."

    Ding Huan's steps faltered. How come this guy still knows he's here and can even send him a message?

    Dangerous, Ding Huan took a few more steps back and then began to calculate whether he could save the guy.

    Ji Xin Ting's strength is too great, and Ding Huan cannot even calculate a single piece of information about him.

    But Ding Huan has his ways. He's calculating what will happen after he saves Ji Xin Ting.

    Ding Huan's expression changed quickly. After saving Ji Xin Ting, there was no longer any vision, not even a blurred one.

    What a bastard, he actually killed him. Only by killing him would Ding Huan be unable to calculate his future visions.

    "Senior Ji, I only obtained an antidote artifact. There's a volcano below us, and I'm afraid I may not even be able to climb back up after saving you."

    "On my way back, I will join the Yanyue Sect and obtain its cultivation methods. If I die like this, I am not willing to give up. I will go out to find people to save you..."

    Ding Huan said anxiously.

    "A clink!" A ring fell to the ground.

    "All the things you need are inside. Take it, Yanyue Sect is nothing to you. Just help me pull out the sword..." Ji Xin Ting's voice came again.

    Ding Huan glanced at the distance between the ring and his position. At least there were over a hundred meters away.

    The ring was perfectly caught between two pieces of fiery rock.

    Do not say that even if he has reached the foundation stage, it is not easy for him to use his spiritual consciousness to pull out this ring.

    Ding Huan's spiritual consciousness felt a subtle restriction, and he was one hundred percent sure that even a foundation-level cultivator couldn't pull out this ring.

    To get the ring, he had to jump down.

    Ding Huan not only reached the foundation stage but also obtained the Cosmic Dao Foundation of his own self.

    At this moment, his spiritual consciousness was so strong that even a real Dan refiner would be no better. Even the spiritual consciousness of a real Dan refiner in terms of resisting poison and condensation would not be as strong as his.

    If something appears before me, not taking it is just being foolish.

    This is something you Ji Xin Ting found yourself, and it has nothing to do with me.

    Ding Huan's spiritual consciousness didn't hesitate to wrap around the ring. He extended his spiritual strength to its maximum, and the ring seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand. It then flew out of the rock crevice and fell into Ding Huan's hand.

    While grabbing the ring, Ding Huan's spiritual consciousness remained attentive to Ji Xin Ting.

    Ding Huan clearly felt that a moment after he took the ring, Ji Xin Ting's body trembled slightly.

    "This ring is a gift from me to you. Once you take out the sword, the sword will also be yours."

    I'm severely injured and may not be able to come out. I will stay here and practice cultivation for a hundred years. In the future, if you have the chance to visit the Waste God Sect, please give them a message for me..."

    Ji Xin Ting's words weren't finished, and Ding Huan's body shook violently. The next moment, Ding Huan appeared hundreds of meters away, and at the same time, his voice followed:

    "Okay, Senior Ji, I'll deliver your message once I have the chance. As for this sword, my abilities are currently…"

    Ding Huan's voice suddenly stopped, and he was startled to find that the place where he had just stood was collapsing without any warning.

    That means, if he doesn't leave, he will also be swept into Ji Xin Ting's side if he doesn't go down to take the sword and ring.

    These old things are indeed treacherous and vicious.

    Ding Huan no longer dares to stay here for even a moment. He immediately casts the Extreme Shadow Magic and disappears in a flash, leaving an enraged Ji Xin Ting behind.

    It took him a long time to get here, but it only took half a day for Ding Huan to leave Chuangjian Mountain.

    Ding Huan dared not touch Ji Xin Ting's ring, instead throwing it into the starhouse and then speeding up to return to the Great Crystal Area.

    He was outside for over half a year, and he still doesn't know what's going on in the Great Crystal Area.

    ……

    Purple Mist Valley.

    Due to the patriarch's severe injury and the resulting neglect of the temple, the elders are all searching for a way out.

    Once thriving Purple Mist Valley, now shows the sight of a dying mountain at sunset.

    Those who know the inside story are even less willing to have any connection with Purple Mist Valley.

    In the eyes of most people, Purple Mist Valley will eventually be occupied by the Nine Sound Sect.

    Therefore, there have been few disciples from various sects visiting Purple Mist Valley recently.

    Guanyi stood outside Purple Mist Valley, shocked by the desolate scene.

    The status of Purple Mist Valley in Daoist circles is far inferior to Yanyue Sect, but that is only about status and power, not the sect's spirit.

    When it comes to location, Purple Mist Valley is counted among the top in the entire Daoist world.

    Even though Purple Mist Valley is in decline, it should not be so desolate as to what we see now.

    "Excuse me, what is your business?" Jia Sha approached to ask.

    In fact, Jia Sha is an elder of Purple Mist Valley, and it's highly unlikely for an elder to greet guests at the sect's entrance.

    It's just that there have been too many changes and incidents in Purple Mist Valley recently. He dares not let his disciples stay outside, lest they offend someone or miss important information. As the sect's guardian elder, any wrongdoing on his part would be a great sin.

    The news is naturally from Liu Yinzhū. He has been in contact with the elder Liu Yinzhū and knows that the elder is looking for an important person on behalf of the patriarch.

    As a loyal supporter of the patriarch, he even knows whom Elder Liu Yinzhū is searching for.

    "I am Guanyi from Yanyue Sect..."

    Guanyi's words were interrupted by Jia Sha, who exclaimed with surprise:

    "It's Elder Guanyi, isn't it? You must be here to find Elder Liu. She isn't here, so I'll take you to the Zizhu Peak first..."

    He knows Elder Guanyi.

    This time, Elder Liu Yinzhū went out, searching for Ding Huan. Ding Huan was initially found by Elder Guanyi and brought to the Daoist world by her.

    Guanyi hurriedly said, "I won't go to the Zizhu Peak. Do you know where Elder Liu has gone?"

    Guanyi came here naturally not to search for Elder Liu Yinzhū, but to search for Ding Huan.

    The reason for searching for Ding Huan is that she and Ding Huan felt during their journey together that there was nothing he couldn't handle.

    The cold demon and the foot-eating zombie couldn't stop Ding Huan, and he even brought them through safely.

    The old man, Qū, tried to harm Ding Huan, but he is now dead.

    The Desolate Swamp was so terrifying, but Ding Huan still managed to bring them out.

    The Qiong Executor wanted to kill Ding Huan, but even his silhouette couldn't be seen.

    ...

    She knows that she cannot find Ding Huan relying on herself alone.

    She had intended to seek help from Elder Gu, but Elder Gu has been out on business for several months and has not returned to the sect.

    After thinking it over, she felt that only one person could help her find Ding Huan, that was Elder Liu.

    In Yanyue Sect, she doesn't know many elders. Even among the few elders who are known, besides Elder Gu, most of them are not people she can rely on.

    Even Elder Gu, she dare not easily tell about her difficulties.

    Elder Liu and she are acquainted, and on the way to Daoist world, Elder Liu also admired Ding Huan.

    She has seen more than once that Elder Liu has shown interest in seeking Ding Huan for a chat, and even once she saw Elder Liu come out from Ding Huan's camp.

    In addition, when Elder Qü Yue Shan died, Elder Liu must have guessed that it was Ding Huan who did it.

    After Elder Gu mentioned that Elder Qü Yue Shan had died from the foot-eating zombie's poison, she added another possibility, that was the dream-poisoning of the cold demon.

    It is evident that Elder Liu is inclined towards Ding Huan.

    Upon hearing Guanyi's words, Jia Sha hesitated for a moment.

    As a trusted advisor of the patriarch, he knows what Ding Huan means to Purple Mist Valley.

    Guanyi's search for Elder Liu might also be to find Ding Huan.

    After all, according to Elder Liu's words, her and Guanyi only knew each other on the road, and there wasn't much between them in terms of friendship.

    "Senior, I and Ding Huan are friends, and there are some things I want to ask for his help. However, after I arrived at Yanyue Sect, I haven't been able to leave and have lost contact with him..."

    Guanyi is aware that the other party definitely knows her purpose in searching for Elder Liu, as she and Elder Liu have not had much friendship.

    "Don't worry, if I have any treachery in mind, my heart will be struck by lightning, and I will perish in retaliation."

    Guanyi swore again to placate the other party, afraid that they didn't believe her.

    Guanyi understood the other party's hesitation, as the Double-Soul Sect had inquired about Ding Huan at Yanyue Sect.

    Jia Sha, seeing Guanyi's words, thought of Ding Huan and Guanyi being friends, and therefore said:

    "Ding Huan is in Xifeng City. Elder Liu has been waiting there for a long time."

    In fact, Jia Sha really didn't know that the Double-Soul Sect had gone to Yanyue Sect to find out Ding Huan's whereabouts. If he had known, even if Guanyi had sworn a poison vow, he wouldn't have told Guanyi where Ding Huan was.

    "Thank you, Senior." Guanyi bowed in gratitude and then summoned his spacecraft, quickly flying away.

    As long as there's a place, she can find it.

    Although the Daoist world is vast and boundless, how far can Ding Huan go?

    She is sure that he will appear on the map in her hand.
