Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 508 - 256. Elder Lei and the Celestial Master’s Sword (Combined Chapter)
Lei Jun stood in the dojo before the True One Altar, respectfully admiring the increasingly bright purple light above the three-tiered Dharma Altar.
Accompanied by a Thunder Roar, the purple light transformed into intersecting lightning snakes, roaming in all directions.
Inside the True One Altar Cave Heaven, instead of being affected, numerous runes and Tao Containment shone brightly, resonating with it.
Amid the purple light at the top of the altar, the Magical Sword, which was one of the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures, the Celestial Master’s Sword, gradually became clear.
The image of this Magical Treasure was continuously changing between the Magical Sword and the purple Thunder Dragon, alternating between illusory and solid.
When the Thunder Dragon completely emerged from the purple light at the top of the True One Altar, its form also gradually shifted from illusory to solid, and transformed back into the shape of a Magical Sword.
"I summon the Ancestral Sword," Lei Jun said, lighting incense in his hand, as the wafting smoke drifted within the True One Altar Cave Heaven.
After offering incense and praying to Heaven, Lei Jun raised both hands. The Celestial Master’s Sword then flew down from the top of the True One Altar, landing with perceptible Spiritual Nature across Lei Jun’s hands, for him to hold.
Back in Jiangzhou, Lei Jun had already done a similar task once and was now well-versed.
However, Lei Jun didn’t plan on delivering the Celestial Master’s Sword to Xu Yuanzhen or Tang Xiaotang immediately.
Today’s battle is nothing like the battle at Jiangzhou. Ye Moquan and the Jinzhou Ye Clan are stronger opponents than Lin Che and the Jiangzhou Lin Clan. For this reason, the Celestial Master’s Sword is even more necessary. But the enemy will also have their plans. A single slip could result in being controlled by them.
Therefore, neither Xu Yuanzhen nor Tang Xiaotang had previously contacted Lei Jun and his master about passing the sword.
However, the time is ripening. My eldest martial sister is already preparing to use her own weapon. If things progress smoothly from here, I’ll be confident enough to deliver the Celestial Master’s Sword. Before that, this is the perfect opportunity for me to handle my own divination outcomes.
Once he had the Celestial Master’s Sword in his possession, Lei Jun did not proceed to refine it, as it was currently Tang Xiaotang’s Magical Treasure.
But he used the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans within the third layer of the True One Altar, combined with his own comprehension at the Tranquil Level, to communicate with the Celestial Master’s Sword.
The numerous Talisman Dao Patterns engraved on the surface of this treasure then shone continuously.
Lei Jun’s heart and mind were stirred.
He began to have a preliminary understanding of the Daoist Magic Conception contained within the Celestial Master’s Sword.
The Celestial Master Seal was majestically vast, encompassing the Law of Heaven and Earth and holding the universe within. In comparison, the Celestial Master’s Sword exuded a killing and heroic spirit rarely seen in other Magical Treasures or Magic Artifacts from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
It was as if the Might of Heaven was bringing down thunderous retribution, sweeping away all evil!
The Taoist Talisman Sect is known for emphasizing Yin and Yang Harmony and the principle of Serene Insight and non-action. In contrast, the Sword Intent of the Celestial Master’s Sword carried a sense of overwhelming heroism.
During the most recent battles of this era, it first helped the former Celestial Master Li Qingfeng severely wound the Dragon Serpent Pen. At the last moment, it countered to kill the former Clan Chief Lin Qun of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, taking him down along with it.
Then, at Dragon Tiger Mountain, with Tang Xiaotang, it swept through enemies in all directions, defeating members of the Li Clan and throwing them into disarray, even suppressing the Celestial Master’s Robe, another of the Celestial Master’s Three Treasures.
Last winter, it followed Tang Xiaotang once more in her sweep of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, severely wounding the current Clan Chief Lin Che and breaking their millennia-old foe, the Dragon Serpent Pen.
These victories also continuously boosted and accumulated the sword’s killing spirit, making this foremost offensive treasure of Dragon Tiger Mountain increasingly sharp and evident.
Though a Taoist Magical Treasure, its keenness was as formidable as any Martial God Weapon.
Lei Jun set forth, Warming and Nurturing the Magical Treasure as he hurried along his way.
The four locations indicated by his divination results—Tianle Mountain, Duanlong Gorge, Jingshan Cliff, and Wuzhai Peak—were all situated around the Ye Clan Ancestral Land in Jinzhou.
After contacting Tang Xiaotang to watch these directions and provide covering support for Xu Yuanzhen, he himself selected Tianle Mountain, northeast of the Ye Clan Ancestral Land, and headed in that direction.
***
Above the Ye Clan Ancestral Land in Jinzhou.
Ye Moquan’s military ritual and Zhenshentou were both ineffective; unable to directly suppress Xu Yuanzhen, he could only rely on the power of the Ancestral Land’s restrictive formations to engage her.
The Vast Integrity Sword Stars crisscrossed with the Spiritual Energy from the Ye Clan Ancestral Land’s restrictive formations, cutting through the dark cosmos.
"You didn’t bring the Celestial Master’s Sword?" Ye Moquan inquired calmly, "Or maybe... the Celestial Master Seal?"
In the dark cosmic space, Xu Yuanzhen’s voice seemed to come from everywhere, asking, "What about you? Reluctant to use the Star-Chess Seal?"
Ye Moquan replied, "There’s no need at the moment."
Xu Yuanzhen retorted, "I think you do."
Before she finished speaking, a shadow—neither fully bright nor dark—flickered into existence within her Great Vehicle Taoist Scene, amidst the Yin Fire Tiger and the Destiny Star God. This shadow suddenly swept out from the depths of the universe and manifested in the Mortal World.
With a single stroke, the shadow instantly severed several Vast Integrity Sword Stars.
Ye Moquan was taken aback.
Far away, Tang Xiaotang’s eyes shone with increased brilliance.
She had a rough idea of what Xu Yuanzhen had been preparing for the past six months and had been eagerly anticipating it. Unfortunately, Xu Yuanzhen had kept it a secret, not letting her see. Now, she could finally behold it.
So much so that when Lei Jun happened to contact her at that moment, she shouted excitedly, "Eldest Sister has made her move!"
The eyes of the other spectators likewise lit up.
Supreme Elder Wei Qiyue of Mount Shu, who had been paying more attention to the surroundings, also had her attention drawn to the sight at this moment.
Under the gaze of these top masters, the shadow revealed its true form.
It was actually a Long Spear, something more commonly seen among Martial Arts Practitioners.
Its body was neither black nor white; clarity and obscurity alternated, making it hard to discern specific details.
But the Spiritual Nature and Mana it contained alarmed Ye Moquan and all the watching experts.
A brand-new Taoist Magical Treasure that had never appeared before.
It was intimately connected with Xu Yuanzhen and was likely a Magical Treasure she had personally refined!
Though the Long Spear’s exterior was unremarkable, with each stroke, it was unstoppable, clearing an unobstructed path wherever it went.
Its form was that of a killing weapon, yet its aura and Artistic Conception remained unstained by the slightest hint of worldly bloodshed.
