Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 974 - 509:
The woman was quite strange as well. After seeing the Great Heavenly Dog, she begged her to kill her.
She said she harbored an unparalleled Divine Sword within her, capable of reaching the heavens above and the Netherworld below, yet this sword had completely made her body its sheath. It entered and exited daily, making her life worse than death, yet she couldn't die.
She claimed she had lived for one thousand and three years, merely appeared a bit old, and begged the Great Heavenly Dog to kill her.
Because she realized only someone like the Great Heavenly Dog, with "innate divine strength" and a "destined nemesis", could end her life.
The Great Heavenly Dog assumed she was mad and did not want to deal with her.
But the woman pestered endlessly, even saying, "Are you not afraid?"
This sentence was like a needle that pierced the heart of the Great Heavenly Dog.
Because she truly was a bit afraid.
Her body instinctively feared this delicate woman.
But because of this sentence, the flame in her heart could no longer be suppressed, so she threw a punch in anger.
After punching, she realized just how terrifying this woman was.
Or rather, what the woman said might not have been the mad ramblings of a lunatic.
In Fusang, where experts abound, those who died only after taking two punches from her were highly revered as "resilient under punches".
But after this punch, not only did the delicate woman not die, she smiled and said, "Try a little harder, I can still take it."
The Great Heavenly Dog momentarily felt her fur standing on end.
This time, she indeed used all her strength.
One punch, two punches, three punches, four punches...
The Great Heavenly Dog was certain; within at least a hundred punches, the woman was continuously smiling at her.
That smile made her both terrified and fueled the fire in her heart to rage.
The Great Heavenly Dog did not know how many punches she threw. As she put it, it was more than the thousands of Martial Artists she had killed at the 'Slaughter Dog Convention'.
In the end, the petite woman who kept smiling finally died.
From her shattered body, she indeed found a sword.
A sword called the Unparalleled Sword.
This time, the Great Heavenly Dog realized that perhaps there were beings in this world even more formidable than humans, exactly like this woman who begged her to beat her to death.
Someone referred to as an "Immortal".
She also realized that humans indeed have limits; to surpass those limits, one must transcend humanity.
Afterward, the Great Heavenly Dog, having acquired the sword, did not rush to "become an Immortal". She continued to relish the glory in the Martial Arts world.
For a long time into the future, she continued to roam triumphantly through Fusang Martial World.
At that time, she was already at the peak of the Martial Arts world.
This feeling was wonderful, yet its existence was fleeting. Soon, what she felt was endless emptiness and loneliness.
High places are indeed lonely. As she said, once a person loses their pursuit, it's like their longest backbone being removed, collapsing altogether.
Thus, the Great Heavenly Dog thought of the woman she had killed and remembered that sword.
For a long time, she almost forgot about that woman and that sword.
Or rather, even if that woman was already dead, she did not wish to face it.
Consequently, the Great Heavenly Dog, whose life was as lonely as snow, embarked on the path to "becoming an Immortal".
Utilizing the Divine Sword and a scroll found within the woman's corpse, she truly found a way, entered the Heavenly Court, and later, sought to create Immortals using the Divine Soil.
The rest of the story, when they previously met the Great Heavenly Dog, she almost told them.
In the bone scroll, a detail was written: the Heavenly Court was empty, devoid of any Immortals, and later, as the Great Heavenly Dog gradually acquired an immortal aura, she always felt like something had appeared in the Heavenly Court, but when she meticulously checked, she found nothing.
Duan Yuan strongly suspected that it might have been the thing previously tore apart by the Great Heavenly Dog.
By this time, the day was getting dark.
Frankly, since entering this palace, Duan Yun and Ziyu had lost the sense of day and night.
But now, the sky noticeably darkened, the entire hollow Snow Mountain palace no longer felt like a sunlit golden mountain, just a dead, desolate ruin.
Ziyu couldn't help but shrink her neck, always feeling something bad would emerge after dark here.
Duan Yun was also somewhat tired today. Since the Divine Sword was in hand, he didn't want to stay in this eerie place any longer.
In the past, when faced with seemingly invincible opponents, he would often charge ahead impulsively because he believed in his extraordinary wisdom and supreme talent.
But this time, faced with those inexplicable things, he planned to be a bit more cautious.
Because he felt his extraordinary wisdom hadn't fully expanded.
A small expansion was not an expansion; confronting something that could easily tear apart the Great Heavenly Dog was still not enough.
If his extraordinary wisdom could fully open, he would probably have already charged in and killed those beings entirely.
In conclusion, he blamed it all on his inadequate extraordinary wisdom, deciding to go back first to hone it further, then rely on this Divine Sword and his supreme talent, gambling with all his effort, to add....
Duan Yun and Ziyu started to leave.
As they walked from the Snow Mountain palace to the hall full of hooks, then to that exquisite Source Palace, it felt almost like a world apart.
Or rather, like walking from one world back to the original world.
Because everything they experienced that day seemed so Taiyin.
By now, the snow-white Source Palace was no longer as pure and flawless as before.
The battle between Duan Yun and the Great Heavenly Dog had also impacted this area.
The accumulated snow and broken bones from the "Snow Mountain" had scattered here, damaging many items and laying a layer of ashes on the ground.
Yet that feeling of deathly stillness and coldness remained.
This was still the palace where one dared not speak loudly, fearing to disturb the Heavenly People.
Duan Yun, holding the Unparalleled Sword, quietly noted down some epithets in his little notebook.
If they truly were Heavenly People, next time, he would annihilate them all.
Because they offended him, his prey was intercepted by them, and intercepted so effortlessly as if tearing away just a leaf.
They tore the Great Heavenly Dog's body, but it was Young Hero Duan's pride they damaged.
The negative emotions brought to this Young Hero today, he remembered!
In the future, he would surely exact vengeance on their whole family! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Upon leaving Source Palace, the originally beautiful Mirror Lake cherry blossoms also changed.
The water surface remained mirror-like, though many "snow" remnants floated on it, and many cherry blossom trees had deteriorated.
At this moment, Duan Yun couldn't help but recount everything he saw in that crevice.
Upon hearing Duan Yun's description, Ziyu still felt it was hard to believe, often thinking it was just Duan Yun's illusion.
But considering the Great Heavenly Dog's fate, the description did not seem false.
The Great Heavenly Dog was effortlessly torn apart by what lay beyond that crevice.
Duan Yun said, "Before that crevice closed, I vaguely saw the words 'Jade City' on a plaque."
Ziyu asked in confusion, "Jade City? White Jade City?"
Duan Yun suddenly felt more spirited, saying, "You know of the White Jade City?"
Ziyu nodded and said, "White Jade City has always been a Taoist saying. Taoism speaks of a palace called 'White Jade City' in the heavens, where those who have attained the Way reside. Most of these Immortals are their ancestors."
This saying is not particularly uncommon, a bit like Taoism trying to "connect in-laws." The higher the ancestor, the better, the more immortal, the better.
This is not much different from a woman at the Red House claiming to be a fairy descended to mortal realm.
But after experiencing all this, Duan Yun actually felt this saying resonated with him.
Because many Taoists in the Martial World are determined to ascend to the heavens.
They believe only by ascending can they truly seek their own Way.
And within the Martial World, the Taoists in that 'Heavenly People City' make no pretense of it.
At this point, Ziyu said, "Have you ever heard of the true master of the Netherworld Mountain Villa?"
"The true master?"
"There's a rumor, "
