Chapter 617: 365 Chapter: Startling All Sides
Stone Vein, Cave Heaven, Earthly Abyss.
The conflicts between them grew more intense, and it was not just the land within a hundred miles that shook; the tremors began to spread further, even the air in the silent Wasteland hundreds of miles away vibrated.
On the Wasteland spanning hundreds of miles, one could see many mystical creatures bursting from the earth, all disturbed by the impact, their monstrous eyes revealing a human-like horror as they glanced towards the direction of the Stone Vein before fleeing in the opposite direction to escape the vicinity.
As creatures that have lived in the Earthly Abyss for countless years, no matter their rank, they all knew once there was a huge disturbance within, it spelled nothing good for them, and getting involved would likely cost them their lives.
At that moment.
If one could look down from high above into the Earthly Abyss, one would see creatures within hundreds of miles fleeing in all directions, but the Earthly Abyss’s highest point was only several dozen feet, preventing any overhead view.
...
The Wasteland within hundreds of miles shook fiercely; such tremendous disturbance alerted not only the mystical creatures.
…
Somewhere.
A piece of low-lying land.
Water marshes covered and spread out, growing many peculiar dark grasses.
And in the middle of this low-lying water marsh grew a bizarre green plant, which had no leaves but a straight main stalk, topped with a crystal clear, emerald green fruit.
Swish, swish,
A gaunt monk in tattered robes was walking towards the center.
His robes were patched all over, with some unrepaired holes revealing the skin underneath. Although gaunt, his skin was bronzed, and he walked with an invisible imposing presence.
Kongji, the head of the Ascetic Institute of the No Birth Temple!
Kongji!
He was the oldest among the four generations of monks of the “Kong Perception Mystery” in the No Birth Temple, and also a top figure among the grandmasters of the temple, renowned throughout Cold North for once using his bodily might to save a village by the mountain, ranked number four among the grandmasters of Cold North!
“Evergreen Fruit.”
Kongji, his face gentle, looked at the fresh emerald fruit in the center of the marsh, placing his hands together in front of him as if in prayer, and after walking a few steps forward, he reached out to pick it.
But just then, a fierce sword light suddenly broke through the air, its overwhelming Sword Intent crashing down like a raging river from the sky, where one couldn’t even make out the sword light but only see a glint of coldness like a line hanging in the air.
“Well said, well said.”
Facing this sudden attack, Kongji remained gentle and compassionate, lifting his right hand from where his hands were joined, and with a bronzed finger, he flicked and snapped in the air, clashing hard against the incoming sword light, immediately dispelling it.
The scattered sword light revealed a three-foot green blade, which swung away but before it could fly far, a hand reached out from the air and grabbed the sword handle, then both hands held the sword and slashed again at Kongji.
The person, dressed in green, was none other than Jiang Changsheng of the “Longevity Sword”!
“Mercy of the Buddha.”
Kongji chanted the Buddha’s name, raised his hands high, and in a flash of light and shadow on his body, a brilliant golden light appeared, resembling an Arhat manifesting in this world, his two bronzed palms coming together in the middle.
Clang!

The Longevity Sword wielded by Jiang Changsheng struck against the Arhat Buddha Hand, emitting a clang as if metal struck metal, resounding in a symphonic clash and then exploding into ripples.
Within a yard between the two, nothing changed, not even a ripple in the water; the Evergreen Vine and the Evergreen Fruit growing nearby remained still, but the water marsh behind Jiang Changsheng suddenly exploded, lifting endless water mist into the air.
The water marsh behind Kongji also exploded in a similar manner, with intersecting cracks, and the water splashing into the air was as if it had been sliced into square blocks by an invisible Sword Qi.
Kongji just clasped Jiang Changsheng’s Longevity Sword with both palms, confining it in the Arhat Buddha Hand; it seemed the move was nearly a draw, but then he couldn’t help but step back.
Whoosh!
Jiang Changsheng, expressionless, took advantage of Kongji’s retreat to pull the sword blade out and slash again.
Boom!
Kongji blocked again, retreating further.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Jiang Changsheng unleashed seven consecutive slashes, forcing Kongji back seven steps, until he stood about two feet away from the Evergreen Fruit, while Jiang Changsheng reached the side of the fruit, easily plucking and securing it.
Watching Jiang Changsheng take the Evergreen Fruit, Kongji joined his hands, advancing no further, and sighed, “Many years have passed, and your swordsmanship, Jiang, has truly transcended; well said, well said. It seems this item is fated not to be mine.”
Upon closer inspection.
One could see at the tips of his joined hands tiny cracks, from which droplets of red blood flowed, the blood still containing lingering Sword Qi that, as it fell into the marsh, silently cracked open fissures.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Kongji, speaking indifferently, “You have not been negligent over these years either, your Arhat True Body is well trained, blocking my seven swords with only a retreat of two feet. I can defeat you yet not kill you.”
“Mercy of the Buddha.”
Kongji recited once more.
The wounds between his fingers were indeed minor, and it was nearly impossible for Jiang Changsheng to kill him unless he continued to directly confront Jiang Changsheng’s Longevity Sword, but being slightly inferior still meant he couldn’t seize the Evergreen Fruit.
