Chapter 754: Mr. White’s Sword
Chapter 749 – Mr. Bai’s Sword
“We are all from different small worlds, and compared to the Xuan Huang Realm, there is a natural tier gap. However, we also have advantages that should not be underestimated.”
“That is diversity.”
“Just like your [Empire] being able to maneuver foreign beasts into battle. Over the years, other small worlds have also each developed different, exotic abilities.”
“Even if it’s a step weaker compared to the Xuan Huang Realm’s Immortal Laws. But if we can focus all of our strengths and synthesize the strengths of all worlds, we may not be unable to summarize and research a system that can compete with the Immortal Laws.”
Xu Bai spoke eloquently.
Xiao Qing’s first reaction was to shake her head.
However, without waiting for her to open her mouth, Xu Bai reached out and interrupted, solemnly saying, “The so-called thing is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone knows that hope is a bit slim, but at this juncture, the only thing left to do is to fight to the death.”
“What kind of life do mortals under the rule of Immortal Cultivators live, I’m sure that you should know better than I do?”
“The members of the Federation of Ten Thousand Realms are all ruled by one realm. Even if they were to die, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be willing to go through that life of being a cow.”
“The union of the ten thousand realms is the general trend. Those who are unwilling ……”
Xu Bai’s face instantly turned gloomy: “Although it’s not as if we’re going to fight you with swords. But it’s impossible to want us to provide you with shelter anymore.”
Xiao Qing softly said, “Fellow Daoist doesn’t have to worry much, our empire, is by no means likely to fall to the Xuan Huang side. However, the affairs of the empire are not something that I can decide on my own.”
“Fellow Daoist, please wait here for a moment, I need to confer with Her Majesty the Imperial Daughter and the Imperial Council.”
Xu Bai sniffed and nodded in understanding.
However, at the same time, he also made his own request, “I once heard that the empire was built on the corpse of a three-headed divine bird.”
“And the head of the divine bird was chopped off by an immortal’s sword back then.”
“Such a wondrous sight, since I’ve come here, it would be a great pity if I couldn’t see it with my own eyes. I wonder if you can fulfill this long-cherished wish of mine?”
Xiao Qing looked at Xu Bai, whose face was full of smiles, and his eyes flickered.
A moment later, she agreed, “It’s only a small matter. Since you are interested, then I will have someone take you there later. However, where the head is broken, there are sword qi and residual thoughts left behind, so you, Taoist friend, should still be more careful.”
Xu Bai’s face showed a shocked expression, and then even more joyful: “After such a long time, the sword qi still exists, enough to be able to imagine the elegance of that year. When you say that, I’m looking forward to it even more.”
Xiao Qing smiled without saying anything.
After she left, in a small half day’s work, there was a woman who looked 17 or 18 years old, dressed in a sarong, walking in.
“My lord, please follow me.”
With that, the woman in the sarong called out a bloated orb-like foreign beast.
An opening split in the orb and the woman walked into it.
Xu Bai was also slightly curious as he followed.
There were seats for people to settle inside the orb, and as soon as the two of them entered it, it continued to swell up again.
It slowly floated out of the spire palace and drifted rapidly towards the distant “Imperial Holy Land”.
The body of the orb gradually became transparent, allowing Xu Bai to see the surrounding scene clearly.
“This is the [Flying Orb Beast], after expanding, it is capable of flying high into the sky, traveling on the wind, and is extremely fast. The people of the empire visiting the holy land mostly use this method.” The woman in the gauze skirt explained for Xu Bai in a warbling voice.
“However, if Your Excellency is going to visit, Sage Master Qing has already commanded to go down and temporarily empty the holy land of the visiting masses. So as not to disturb Your Excellency’s tranquility.”
……
The woman’s soft introduction soon arrived at one of the Red Nine Heads’ severed heads.
“This is one of the nine temples.”
Xu Bai followed the woman into the silent building, and as soon as he stepped in, he could faintly detect the sounds of hostile whistling and wailing.
The floor and walls were plastered with ink-black stone slabs, reflecting the solemnity and darkness of the temple.
Without the need for the woman to guide him, Xu Bai followed the direction of the sounds and walked towards the depths of the temple.
The deeper he went, the louder the wailing of the beasts in his ears became.
Through the introduction of the gauze-skirted woman, he learned that these weren’t just the sounds of the Red Nine Heads before they died.
Rather, over the years, in order to lower the hostility of the Divine Bird, the Empire had slaughtered and sacrificed countless heads of foreign beasts, which together formed the sound of lamentation.
For every temple, there were an unknown number of foreign beasts that had died tragically.
The entanglement of countless resentful souls was enough to turn an ordinary area into a netherworld of hell. But here, in the temple, although it is a bit morose.
But there were no ghosts haunting it.
Just because, there is a sharp and unrivaled sword qi, always firmly suppressed them.
“Swish ……”
A strand of hair drifted down for no reason, and Xu Bai stopped his pace at once.
In front, black flesh and blood, like tangled vines, coiled into a ball.
From time to time, it would also wriggle for a moment, making it hard to believe that this was the corpse of a demonic beast that had been dead for thousands of years.
And directly above the black flesh, there was a red sword qi.
Like a long rope, it floated uncertainly.
As a matter of fact, this red rope sword qi could not be seen by ordinary cultivators.
Not to mention the ordinary mortals in the empire.
They could only surmise that there was “Immortal Sword Qi” remaining from the black flesh and blood that was constantly being suppressed, as well as the sword qi that was stimulated externally from time to time.
But Xu Bai could see all of this clearly.
Even ……
Xu Bai slightly closed his eyes.
A picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
It was a bright red light that illuminated the heavens and earth, seemingly a few moments faster than lightning.
The sharpness contained within it was even more as if it could split the heavens and earth.
“It seems like a rope, but it is ……”
“Sword.”
Xu Bai gazed at the red line in front of him, and after an unknown amount of time, said thoughtfully.
“Is the red rope gifted by Mr. Bai ……”
“Compared to what I saw in the Meteor Immortal Realm, the [Wooden Sword] that he casually made, this sword of the red rope has a stronger killing intent.”
“Rather than being a pure sword, it’s more like it has a hint of punishment attached to it.”
Many epiphanies, a steady stream of them emerged from Xu Bai’s heart.
It was as if he saw the figure of Mr. Bai, gently flicking out a strand of silk.
And then the incomparable peerless ferocious beast, the Red Nine Heads, died tragically on the spot.
……
Just like that, Xu Bai was immersed in his senses, unaware of the passage of time.
The young girl in the gauze skirt also didn’t dare to disturb, and had been standing silently behind Xu Bai.
And not far from Xu Bai, a wall away from the temple.
Xiao Qing and a young girl with a delicate figure were staring at Xu Bai through the transparent wall, staring at Xu Bai in death.
“How about it, can you be sure?” Xiao Qing asked, a rare trace of anxiety flashing through her eyes.
The young girl, on the other hand, kept her eyes closed.
Her eyelashes kept trembling, and beads of sweat slid down her face.
After a long time, her eyes snapped open.
“How did this happen?”
The young girl was filled with shock.
“When I was looking at him, it was like I was looking at myself!”
