Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 793 - 770 Entering the Holy Mountain (3/3)

Zhou Heng pointed with a finger, like casually picking a flower, appearing carefree yet possessing an ethereal and mysterious aura.

Ding!

His fingertip touched the sword tip, and a dazzling light suddenly blossomed, causing everyone below the Sublimation Emperor level to involuntarily close their eyes.

When everyone hurriedly reopened their eyes, they saw Zhou Heng and Qiao Qingqing standing at a sword’s two-arm length distance, both extending their arms with fingertips touching the sword tip.

Zhou Heng wore a smile, while Qiao Qingqing’s expression was serious. A swirling gust swept past, making their clothes rustle loudly, yet fluttering gracefully like fairies.

What! freēnovelkiss.com

Zhou Heng actually blocked this sword!

Moreover, his feet didn’t retreat even an inch!

Black...black curtain?

Impossible, Qiao Qingqing has already shown the cultivation level of a Sublimation Emperor. Would such a person cooperate in a staged act under so many watchful eyes? Who has the authority to command her to do this?

How powerful is Zhou Heng’s strength?

Could he actually be a Sublimation Sovereign!

Zhou Heng looked at Qiao Qingqing and said, "Standing firm to dissipate force will only injure you! Why endure this pain!"

Injury?

Poof!

As if confirming Zhou Heng’s words, Qiao Qingqing’s pretty face instantly turned pale, then her mouth suddenly opened, spraying out a stream of blood. Her lips appeared a bit pale, yet with a crimson blood stain, they exuded a sorrowful beauty.

She truly got injured!

Not only did her previous strike fail to repel Zhou Heng, but by insisting on not retreating, she forcibly dissipated Zhou Heng’s power and injured herself?

Hiss!

Everyone’s scalp tingled with disbelief, feeling an urge to cry.

Zhou Heng gently flicked, and Qiao Qingqing’s delicate figure was sent out of the Martial Battle Arena.

—He is now a Fourteen Aspects Sublimation Sovereign, stronger than a Three Aspects Sublimation Emperor, and combined with the destructive power of the Five Elements Rune, a mere One Aspect Sublimation Emperor cannot face him head-on. If he hadn’t held back, this single finger could have directly shattered the opponent’s Immortal Artifact and her entire being!

The final victor is... Zhou Heng!

Worthy of the name, deserving without doubt!

After a moment of silence, the arena was filled with thunderous applause, countless people calling out Zhou Heng’s name, each giving a thumbs-up as a sign of respect for a hero in the Martial Battle Arena.

Defeating a Sublimation Emperor to reach the top, truly impressive!

Zhou Heng had no interest in such vanity, casually leaving the Martial Battle Arena.

Only five days remain until the Supreme Deity’s birthday!

During these five days, many came to visit Zhou Heng, which bothered him greatly. So, he took Mu Tongtong and Hu Yin to explore and play, freeing himself from distractions.

Once the Holy Mountain’s seal is lifted, he will directly ascend to its peak, searching for a way out. Thus, he cherished each day here, bringing the two little ones to explore, temporarily letting go of all thoughts.

On the fourth day at noon, Zhou Heng took the two little ones to a tranquil lakeside, where the reflections were mirror-like and beautiful.

He let the two little ones play in the water, while he walked along the lakeside. Only a few steps later he stopped, seeing a graceful silhouette stepping onto the lake, her slender and curvy figure displaying incredible vitality amidst the surrounding mountains and waters.

It was Qiao Qingqing.

"Brother Zhou—" This woman stepped on the waves, like a fairy crossing water, gracefully captivating, her smile blooming like a flower.

Did she come here by coincidence, or was she waiting for him on purpose?

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "So it’s Miss Qiao, have you recovered?"

"Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhou, Qingqing is completely healed!" She walked to the shore, standing gracefully beside Zhou Heng, with big eyes looking at him, flowing with a hint of affection. She glanced at the calm, mirror-like lake surface, and gently said, "Ever since being defeated by Brother Zhou four days ago, I’ve been constantly thinking about that moment of defeat!"

Zhou Heng apologetically smiled and said, "Sorry, I had to win that battle!"

"It’s because Qingqing’s skills were inferior, how can Brother Zhou be blamed!" Qiao Qingqing withdrew her charming gaze and focused on Zhou Heng, saying, "Brother Zhou, although Qingqing has been defeated before, no one has ever made Qingqing feel so convinced in defeat!"

"These days Qingqing hasn’t stopped thinking about Brother Zhou, did he think of Qingqing?" Her eyes expressed affection and shyness as she lowered her head bashfully.

This woman, after being defeated by him, actually liked him?

A vanity arose in Zhou Heng’s heart, as being admired is always pleasant. But now he does not wish to engage in romance—besides, although Qiao Qingqing could be considered a beauty, after seeing lots of true beauties, Zhou Heng’s heart is not easily moved.

He thought carefully about his words, and said, "I’m really sorry, I already have someone I love!"

Qiao Qingqing’s face turned pale instantly; she knew Zhou Heng had two alien beauties by his side, but those two women had no cultivation, how could they be suitable as Zhou Heng’s wife? At most, they could be beautiful concubines, toys at best!

Yet Zhou Heng claimed these two women were his loved ones, which was a huge blow to her!

No way, what she set her eyes on would definitely belong to her!

Qiao Qingqing forcefully held back the tears that were about to flow, turned her head aside, and said, "Brother Zhou, Qingqing believes you will definitely change your mind!" Without waiting for Zhou Heng to answer, her figure darted away, instantly disappearing into the distance.

But what Zhou Heng couldn’t see was the somewhat sinister hate in her expression.

Zhou Heng shrugged, liking someone is everyone’s freedom, but the person being liked is not obligated to reciprocate those feelings, otherwise, wouldn’t the world be chaotic? Let her be, anyway, he was soon to leave here.

When the sun set and the bright moon rose, Zhou Heng took the two little girls back to the Holy Immortals Hall.

Another day passed without incident, finally arriving at the sacred day of the Supreme Deity’s millennium birthday.

With the Immortal Residence in tow, the four ladies and the Black Donkey were naturally already inside, he arrived at the altar of the Holy Immortals Hall.

A tall stone statue suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Heng, towering a hundred meters high, its entire body gleaming with a jade-like radiance, but as before, its face was shrouded in layers of mist, concealing the true appearance of the Supreme Deity.

The crowd had come from all over, this was the grandest day in the Immortal Domain. Except for those in retreat who truly could not come out, everyone would dress in their finest to attend, celebrating at altars in various cities. And the Holy Immortals Hall was the highest-ranking altar; attending its grand ceremony was a recognition of one’s status.

Among the only five Creation Kings in the Immortal Domain, four had arrived; the Old Ancestor of the Li Family was still in seclusion and had missed the previous two millennial ceremonies, so his absence this time did not surprise anyone, it was rather expected.

After a heap of tedious rituals, Zhou Heng came below the stone statue, where a Creation King personally handed him a Holy Vial, along with a Jade Talisman that was broken, leaving only half.

Zhou Heng took a close look, there was a mark on the Jade Talisman, but since it was broken right down the middle, it was impossible to discern what the mark originally looked like.

"Only by holding this Jade Talisman can you enter the Holy Mountain. When you reach halfway up, you will see a Holy Spring, after obtaining the Holy Water within it, immediately return and hand back the Jade Talisman. This is the supreme treasure of the Immortal Domain!" The Creation King said, with a terrifying aura revolving around him.

Here, the Creation King was the strongest existence, under the supreme aura, everyone’s face turned pale, and an endless tremor arose from the depths of their heart.

Zhou Heng has even beaten the Super Creation Emperor’s rear, would he revere a mere Creation King?

He nodded, already impatient to enter the Holy Mountain.

It turns out that holding this Jade Talisman allows entry into the Holy Mountain; haha, this means that no matter how much havoc he wreaks inside, no one would come in to stop him.

Very well, right now he doesn’t have the confidence to confront the Creation Kings directly; this is for the best.

He walked ahead, with at least tens of thousands following behind, heading straight out of the Holy Immortals Hall and onto the Holy Mountain.

Here, no one could advance an inch further.

Zhou Heng held the Holy Vial in one hand, the Jade Talisman in the other, as he continued forward.

Buzz!

As soon as he entered the Holy Mountain, the broken Jade Talisman emitted a blood-red light, enveloping Zhou Heng completely, with one foot stepped down, he was in the mountain!

Succeeded!

Zhou Heng strode forward, his pace accelerating.

All the mysteries here were about to be unveiled before him, and afterwards, he could leave this place and return home! If he’s lucky, he might even bring back fragments of the Black Sword!

The pressure is immense!

Zhou Heng quickly realized that although the Jade Talisman offered protection, the pressure here was still incredibly strong, maintaining his current pace was already exceedingly difficult.

Sure enough, his pace was getting slower.

Is this because he only has half a Jade Talisman?

Zhou Heng’s brow furrowed, was half a Jade Talisman enough to support reaching the mountain top?

Three hours later, his pace matched that of a normal person, and the light emitted by the Jade Talisman was growing dimmer, seemingly unable to withstand the terrifying pressure here.

Yet this mountain... was still so high that its end couldn’t be seen!

Rustle, rustle, rustle, the sound of flowing water came from up ahead.

Zhou Heng ascended another few dozen meters, a spring pool appeared before him, the spring water tinkling with a sort of wondrous rhythm.

This was the limit!

Not the mountain’s limit, but the furthest he could reach, the light from the Jade Talisman almost gone, allowing no more than a dozen meters further. Yet, for a peak whose top was still not in sight, what of that mere dozen meters?

Zhou Heng was initially filled with hope, but upon discovering this result, couldn’t help feeling utterly disappointed!

Half a Jade Talisman simply won’t do!

But what if he could repair this Jade Talisman?

Zhou Heng calmed his emotions, and after taking a deep breath, he regained his composure.

Clearly, he would have to remain at the Holy Immortals Hall for a while longer to find the other half of the Jade Talisman.

Given that, the task of collecting Holy Water still had to be done!

Zhou Heng approached the spring pool, taking out the Holy Vial to collect water, as a soft fragrance wafted into his nose. Scanning his surroundings, he noticed a plant growing within the crevices of the pool’s stones, its body entirely purple-red, with a deep purple fruit atop.

This very fruit was emitting an enticing fragrance, just the scent invigorated his Spiritual Power, nature’s spiritual energy flowed continuously towards the plant.
