Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

The Sword Dao Body basically ignored Xuan Chengzi’s astonishment, instead transforming into a Sword Rainbow, directly chasing after the Four Directions Buddha.

The Four Directions Buddha was already shocked by his sword light, and their speed had slowed down. Seeing the Sword Dao Body chasing right in front of them, their faces were quite unpleasant, and without engaging in battle, they hastily urged their tunneling light to escape.

Thus, Xuan Chengzi witnessed a strange scene—a single Zheng Fa chasing four Golden Immortals like dogs, fleeing west in a pitiable state, without daring to look back.

Even so, they could not avoid the pursuit of the Sword Dao Body.

The distance between the two parties got closer and closer—

In terms of escape technique, Zheng Fa, or the Rainbow Transformation Skills of the Golden Crow clan, is unrivaled in the world, yet the Sword Dao Body is not weak either.

Most importantly, the Sword Dao Body not only excels in sword tunneling, but also masters the Earthly Fiend 72 Transformations, combining the strengths of both schools.

Although the Four Directions Buddha possesses Divine Feet, they are still slightly inferior.

The four exerted all their strength flying westward, almost burning their immortal power, barely avoiding being caught by the Sword Dao Body.

In a game of cat and mouse, until they saw the sea area, the Four Directions Buddha suddenly exchanged glances and unanimously stopped, forming a formation, waiting for the Sword Dao Body to approach.

The Sword Dao Body also halted its tunneling light, looking at them, only to hear the Eastern Glazed Buddha say, "Is the practitioner perhaps Master Zheng’s avatar? Long known is Master Zheng’s extraordinary avatar technique. Today, it seems even more remarkable than the rumors."

The Sword Dao Body was taken aback for a moment, remembering that the true self always took care not to reveal the existence of the avatar, normally only a single ’Zheng Fa’ appeared in various events of the Jiushan Sect.

There was but one exception—when escaping from the West Continent via Jianmu, the true self utilized an avatar once, using its self-destruction to distract the Peacock Emperor and the Jile Heavenly Girl.

Though the two, being Golden Immortals, were fooled by the avatar, surely they could perceive the avatar’s extraordinariness.

At the very least, it’s normal for Leiyin Temple to know that Zheng Fa possesses an avatar technique.

Coincidentally, when this matter occurred, the West Continent had already been sealed, making it impossible for Leiyin Temple to deliver information to the Supreme Dao, hence Xuan Chengzi was so surprised.

The Four Directions Buddha showed no astonishment, even seemed a bit confident.

The Sword Dao Body narrowed its eyes, looking at the Four Directions Buddha, these four seemed to intentionally lead him here?

The Eastern Glazed Buddha clasped his hands together, speaking: "When Master Zheng’s avatar perished that day, the cultivation of the true self still rapidly advanced; we do not wish to contend with you, practitioner. Why don’t we let it rest here?"

Feeling somewhat sentimental, the Sword Dao Body acknowledged Leiyin Temple’s strong intelligence analysis capabilities.

It may also be that their entanglement with the Jiushan Sect ran deep, thus they paid extra attention to gathering intelligence on the Jiushan Sect.

Some things, no matter how secret, cannot leave no trace.

They likely know that my death has little impact on the true self, thus unwilling to fight to the death, considering it highly unprofitable.

Yet...

"You four truly jest, can the Nine Mountains Immortal Court be a place where you come and go as you please?"

The Sword Dao Body’s eyes were like swords, gazing from the Eastern Glazed Buddha to the Western Infinite Buddha, filled with fighting spirit.

That Heavenly Emperor Body fellow captured three immortals in one battle, after today he’ll surely be famed in Xuanwei; how could he be willing to be outdone?

The Eastern Glazed Buddha’s face slightly changed, glancing at the bronze lotus lamp above, seemingly truly unwilling to entangle with the Sword Dao Body, actually said again:

"We possess the Supreme Treasure bestowed by our Ancestor Master as defense, outnumbering practitioner with four against one, vastly superior. Practitioner, do you know why we ran?"

"Don’t want to know."

The Sword Dao Body’s immortal power circulated rapidly.

"We can tell at a glance, practitioner is a sword cultivator. If combined with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, it would likely be formidable." The Eastern Glazed Buddha laughed upon seeing his arrogance, "But this place is far from your Jiushan Sect’s Tianhe Army, how can practitioner hold us four here?"

The Sword Dao Body then understood that the four were not wary of him as a Golden Immortal, rather they did not want to fight near the Haori base.

Or rather, they did not want to be caught by the Tianhe Army.

Clearly, Leiyin Temple’s understanding of the Nine Mountains Immortal Court is much deeper than the Supreme Dao.

Seeing realization on his face, the Eastern Glazed Buddha’s smile deepened, he spoke: "Without the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, my bronze lotus lamp fears not the Sun-shooting Divine Bow, what will practitioner use to keep us here?"

His face was full of confidence.

Yet the Sword Dao Body laughed as well; among Zheng Fa’s avatars, the most ostentatious...least inclined to smile, laughing now caused the Eastern Glazed Buddha and the three others to tense up, only to hear the Sword Dao Body slowly say:

"Who says without the Tianhe Army, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation can’t be used?"

After speaking, his limbs emitted brilliant light, from the limbs emerged four bodies of divine beings, each holding an Immortal Sword.

In the hands of the Sword Dao Body himself, the Immortal Slaying Array Map unfolded slowly, four giant sword phantoms appeared in the sky.

These giant sword phantoms descended slowly, like four towering metal mountains, surrounding the Four Directions Buddha.

They seemed to have fallen into a tightly sealed, square-shaped deep well.

External Scene * Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!

"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation? How is this possible?"

Eastern Glazed cried out in surprise.

Even Xuan Chengzi in the Two Instruments and Dust Token was stunned.

Yet the Heavenly Emperor Body laughed.

After becoming a Golden Immortal, he followed the Divine Dao Skill path, it could even be said his Divine Dao Skill integrated the secret transmission of the Yaochi Water Mother, the improved golden body technique of the Thunder Sound Buddha, most importantly, the Emperor’s All Heaven Stars Formation was overwhelmingly powerful, enabling him to oppress three immortals upon advancement.

But the Sword Dao Body was not lacking either.

Though speaking of cultivation techniques alone, the Sword Dao Body was not stronger than himself, but in terms of combat strength, the Sword Dao Body was absolutely not inferior to him:
