Chapter 35: Chapter 34: Oh No, Supreme Really Found a Treasure

Just as Lu Xuan was complaining to himself,

Ripples spread through the void, and amid a shower of celestial flowers, his master and the limping Third Senior Uncle materialized.

"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Third Senior Uncle." Lu Xuan and Zhang Ling bowed in unison.

The young Daoist’s gaze swept over them once more before settling on Lu Xuan. He stared for a long while, and his sharp gaze made the boy’s very skin and bones ache.

"Not bad."

After a long moment, the Daoist nodded and stated quietly,

"Your aptitude is passable."

He paused, then looked at Zhang Ling.

"Your aptitude is average."

Zhang Ling forced a careful smile and bowed slightly, though he was trembling inside. ’This Third Senior Uncle is an absolute terror...’ 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

’The most ferocious in all of heaven and earth!’

"I am your senior uncle, after all. Since we’re meeting today, a gift is in order... You’re Zhang Ling, correct? Step forward."

Zhang Ling hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Supreme Senior Brother said he once gifted you a sword, correct? Where is it?"

As he spoke, the Daoist used his longsword as a crutch and limped over to sit on a rush cushion. Lu Xuan blinked, then glanced at Senior Brother Zhang. ’Yep, I wasn’t mistaken!’

’Senior Brother Zhang is definitely the one with bad eyes!’

Meanwhile, Zhang Ling scratched his head and said cautiously,

"In reply to Third Senior Uncle, the sword is with my junior brother. I... lent it to him."

"That’s none of my business." As he spoke, the Daoist held out a hand to Lu Xuan. The boy hastily summoned the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword from his spiritual sea and respectfully offered it.

The Daoist spoke calmly,

"I will hone this sword’s edge. Consider that one gift."

With that, he casually grabbed the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword. With a flick of his finger, the longsword began to hum!

In the next instant, four longswords materialized around the Daoist. A stream of Heaven-Reaching Sword Qi emerged from each and flowed into the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword.

Finally, he flicked his finger again, producing a drop of brilliant golden blood. It contained Profound Mysteries and shone with a dazzling radiance, as if a vast world floated within it!

Like the four streams of Sword Qi, the blood seeped into the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword. The blade hummed, pulsing with a magnificent light!!

"Take it!"

He tossed the sword to the overjoyed Zhang Ling. After stammering his thanks, Zhang Ling caressed it again and again, unable to stop swallowing as his heart pounded.

’Holy hell!!’

’Third Senior Uncle personally tempered it using those four legendary swords!!’

’This... this is...’

After caressing it for another moment, Zhang Ling reluctantly handed the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword to Lu Xuan and warned,

"When I, your senior brother, return after my hundred-life tribulation, you’d better give this back to me!"

"You got it, Senior Brother!" Lu Xuan took the longsword. The moment he touched it, he sensed the earth-shattering changes it had undergone!

The five segments and five rings that had once symbolized five Divine Mountains now seemed to correspond to the five aspects of the Celestial Realm, vast and boundless!

Lu Xuan, who already had a basic understanding of the Mediation of Creation, could also sense that the three faces of the blade, which had previously symbolized three Celestial Vaults, now pulsed with a rhythm of endless life. The Celestial Vaults had become entire heavens!!

Moreover, four streams of Sword Qi like boundless Celestial Rivers were now gestating within. Just by brushing against them with his senses, he felt a terrifying sharpness that seemed capable of sundering the Great Dao of heaven and earth and spanning all of time!

Lu Xuan’s smile widened, while Zhang Ling’s eyes grew red with envy.

"Thank you, Third Senior Uncle! Thank you, Senior Brother!"

The young Daoist curled his lip and drawled,

"Zhang Ling has received his gift. Now it’s your turn, little fellow... Hmm, let’s see."

He sized up Lu Xuan carefully for a moment before continuing,

"You’re cultivating the Supreme Foundation Establishment Chapter, and I sense the aura of the Heaven-Flipping Seal. Did you learn a basic form? Hmm, and there’s a trace of the Great Dao Texts as well. Supreme Senior Brother, which of the Great Divine Techniques did you pass on to him?"

The Old Master just smiled faintly.

"Why don’t you guess?"

The young Daoist rolled his eyes. Ignoring him, he turned to Lu Xuan.

"Hmph. Kid, you listen here. The greatest slaughter technique in all of heaven and earth is mine. Your Second Senior Uncle’s school practices nothing but parlor tricks. The Heaven-Flipping Seal is hardly worth mentioning, and you’ve only learned a single basic form..."

He let out a contemptuous laugh.

"I will teach you a form from a true Great Slaughter Technique, one that far surpasses anything from the Jade Void school. As for whether you can learn it or comprehend it, that’s none of my concern."

As his voice faded, Zhang Ling swallowed hard. ’The true Great Slaughter Technique he’s talking about... could it, could it be...’

But Lu Xuan was oblivious to all this. A thought simply crossed his mind. ’Hmm, Uncle Dong is a disciple of Second Senior Uncle. So the Wood Splitting Form he taught me is actually called the Heaven-Flipping Seal?’

’What a domineering name!’

’Even though it was just a basic form, I could definitely feel a hint of heaven and earth being overturned...’

’But it looks like Third Senior Uncle and Second Senior Uncle don’t really get along, do they?’

As these thoughts ran through his head, he made a deeply respectful bow.

"Please, Third Senior Uncle, bestow this Dharma upon me!"

"Slaying, Extinction, Slaughter, or Ruin. Choose one for yourself."

Zhang Ling shuddered. ’It really is!’

Lu Xuan, however, was confused. ’Slaying, Extinction, Slaughter, Ruin? What are those?’

He cast a pitiful, pleading look toward his master.

The Old Master coughed lightly and said slowly,

"Of Slaying, Extinction, Slaughter, and Ruin, Slaying comes first."

"Third Senior Uncle, I choose Slaying!"

The Daoist gave a sharp nod. Just as he was about to speak, the Old Master suddenly interjected,

"Oh, that’s right. This disciple of mine is quite clever. He might just be able to learn all four: Slaying, Extinction, Slaughter, and Ruin..."

The Jade Universe Daoist Monarch shot his Supreme Senior Brother a sidelong glance and sneered,

"Learn them all? Heh..."

After a pause, he added languidly,

"Each of these four sword forms of mine contains a full one thousand Great Dao Texts. If he can comprehend even a single one of those texts within three years, what’s the harm in teaching him all four?"

Zhang Ling’s eye twitched. ’Heh, Third Senior Uncle took the bait...’

The Old Master immediately shot back,

"You have a deal!"

The Jade Universe Daoist Monarch froze for a second. He mulled it over, feeling something wasn’t quite right. His senior brother was a proponent of non-action, but today...

He didn’t dwell on it. Not all Great Dao Texts were the same; some were easy, some were difficult. His four sword forms were among the most supreme in the world, and their difficulty only increased.

Even if this kid, Lu Xuan, could actually comprehend a single Great Dao Text from the Slaying Sword Form in three years, mastering the entire form would take hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years. Forget about mastering one form, let alone all four.

With that, he extended a hand and slowly pointed.

"Go and comprehend it!"

Lu Xuan’s vision swam. With a BOOM in his head, his entire Spiritual World—his spiritual sea—plunged into Chaos!

In a trance, he saw a beam of sword light hanging above his spiritual sea.

It was a sword light that occupied everything, consumed all!

The brilliant sword light covered everything, concealed everything, and dominated everything, before suddenly collapsing into exactly one thousand Great Dao Texts!

Unlike the gentle and peaceful one thousand eight hundred Great Dao Texts of the Mediation of Creation, every one of these thousand texts radiated a sharp, ringing killing intent!

The thousand Great Dao Texts floated in Lu Xuan’s spiritual sea, coalescing into the shape of a Heaven-Reaching longsword. It was like the Heaven-Reaching Divine Mountain—immortal, indestructible, and eternal!

Slay! Slay! Slay!!

Lu Xuan was completely transfixed. His True Spirit swayed in the Heaven-Reaching killing intent, but he fought to focus, observing one text after another, each filled with the true meaning of finality, destruction, shattering, and decay.

The more he watched, the more mesmerized he became...

「Meanwhile, in the outside world.」

The Jade Universe Daoist Monarch spoke languidly,

"Alright, job’s done. Supreme Senior Brother, didn’t you have to go see that Primordial fellow? Why aren’t you leaving?"

The Old Master chuckled softly.

"There’s no rush. We’ll wait until you’ve taught him the other three forms."

The Jade Universe Daoist Monarch stared, astonished.

"You’re planning to stay here for three years? It’s not my place to say, Supreme Senior Brother, but that seems a bit unnecessary. Besides, the boy might not even comprehend a single text in three years..."

He hadn’t even finished speaking when the boy’s eyes snapped open and he held out his palm.

He gently crooked a finger, and a surge of Qi and blood, like a crimson mist, poured out.

"Slay?"

Lu Xuan spoke tentatively. Instantly, a faint wisp of Sword Intent, fragmented yet filled with the finality of all things, leaped into his palm.

The Daoist Temple trembled. The Daoist stared blankly at the longsword at his side—the one named Immortal Slayer. Its blade was vibrating, too, letting out a clear hum that rang through the highest heavens!!

’Whoa!’

A thought surfaced in the Daoist’s mind.

’Supreme really hit the jackpot this time!!!’
