Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

Chapter 1264 - 618: Testimony and Evidence

"Cough, cough! Ptooey! Ptooey! Hey, hey Lingxu! You old geezer, are you still clinging to me? Say something!"

After the intense battle and the explosive escape, Chen Xuantian was buried beneath the collapsed rocks, forced to grope around pitifully like a Slimer, searching the rubble left by the explosion of the Lightning Demon. He gathered up the soil rich in organic matter like carbon, phosphorus, and potassium, and little by little, restored his Dao Body back to human form, feeling quite speechless inside.

Damn, who was that guy? Jumped out without a word, gave him a beating, and then inexplicably got killed by a single sword strike from Lingxu and exited the scene.

Yes, it was Lingxu’s doing.

Chen Xuantian knew all too well; his own Nether Spring little tricks were far from top-notch. He could barely manage if he used Nether Spring Escape or Returning Void and Rebirth Hand separately, but handling both was a stretch. So, although the Ghost Spring Technique was powerful, he was completely suppressed by the Lightning Demon and almost met his end.

Especially the last move, Nether Spring Sword Transformation, a path Chen Xuantian had never even considered.

Indeed, the principle was seemingly just mimicking Tie Dan’s Heavenly Breath and Earthly Evil Sword Embryo, using the Nether Spring for sword casting. It looked like mere copying, seemingly easy, but Chen Xuantian knew how dangerous Tie Dan’s sword casting was. Especially since that path of the sword embryo involved fundamental changes at the core. Who knew how far apart Nether Spring and Heavenly Breath and Earthly Evil were, turning from an octopus head into a sword nonetheless. So, before fully understanding the characteristics and usage of the Nether Spring Dao, Chen Xuantian dared not attempt it lightly.

So yes, the final thunder-splitting, lightning-breaking, demon-slaying sword that saved Chen Xuantian’s life.

It must have been Lingxu, that bastard old touch, who personally struck it down.

Lingxu, "No need to thank me. I do it for everyone."

"Who thanked you! No, how strange! Weren’t you supposed to be dueling the Sect Hierarch of the Divine Sect? How did you have time to log in and cover for me?"

Lingxu,

"Oh, I am dueling him, but we started by comparing the Five Arts, then moved on to debating Taoist skills, and finally got to the stage of making tribulation fighting sword.

Now that guy is showing off with a mechanical refining skill, and the Five Elders are scoring his Giant Divine Soldier.

It’s quite boring, so I could give you a hand."

Chen Xuantian didn’t know how to retort.

Lingxu,

"Back to business, fetch the Thirty-six Divine Bags of Thunder Fire Banner."

"What?"

"That skewer."

Oh.

Chen Xuantian’s tentacle wriggled like a worm in the soil, poking here and there, luckily the intense thunder power and frightening Dao power of that skewer easily revealed its location.

Here you go.

Lingxu,

"Put it on. Chen Xiyi, you have received my Supreme Yuqing Dao teachings and have defeated the Acting Sect Leader of Danxia Mountain Shenxiao Sect during the tribulation. As the ancestral master of the Supreme Lineage, I now appoint you as the fourth-generation Sect Leader of the Supreme Nine Heavens Shenxiao Sect. No need for formalities."

Chen Xuantian snorted,

"Hah, do you think I’d thank you?"

Saying that, he took good care to keep the skewer; it was incredibly strong.

Lingxu didn’t mind,

"Karma cycles, what goes around comes around. You learn my magic, spread my Dao, use my power; it’s not something you clear with just words.

However, there is indeed an opportunity for you to repay your debt now. Immediately, go and grab an axe to break into the array.

The acting sect leader of Danxia Mountain has come out to guard the gate, surely Xuan Du’s plan has reached its final stage, and we mustn’t let his plot succeed!"

Chen Xuantian wanted to retort stubbornly, but couldn’t resist his curiosity,

"Are you really willing to join forces with me against Xuan Du? Are you really fine with me using the Breaking Dao Divine Weapon to slay him? He is your junior brother, after all, are you so heartless?"

Lingxu chuckled,

"So what if he’s my junior brother, you kill him and then help him reincarnate again. That’s just how people are, once grown, they become old and ugly, with more wicked thoughts. Eventually, they grow old but don’t die, becoming deceitful and shameless, one’s worse than the other. They’re much cuter when they’re young, and I’ll just raise him again once he’s reborn."

"Wow! You’re so twisted! Are you a pervert or something?"

Lingxu admitted his twisted nature,

"Stop blabbering and go, or you’ll regret it. I’m not asking you to save the world."

Chen Xuantian frowned,

"So you already knew his plot could destroy the world? Now you’re in a hurry, what were you doing before?"

Lingxu snorted coldly,

"What was I doing before? What I did, isn’t there anything you don’t know? I originally had the Three Souls and Three Corpses as preparation, calculating them to death, with no worries needed.

But you all came in midway, sealed one of my souls, destroyed one of my corpses, ruining my major plans, wasting my thousands of years of painstaking efforts. And now there’s so much tribulation, you blame me?"

Chen Xuantian pretended not to hear,

"By the way, how did you forge this Nether Spring Sword Embryo, can you share it, to give everyone a better chance of winning?"

Lingxu,

"Heh, I don’t know, try for yourself."

Chen Xuantian wanted to berate him, but thought better of it.

Alright, mainly because he figured that this bastard wasn’t just being perfunctory, he genuinely didn’t know how, the Nether Spring Sword Embryo, he could only try it himself.

After all, Lingxu originally used the Nether Spring to create an octopus head himself, Chen Xuantian only followed him down the tentacle path for security’s sake.

But now, due to the frequent interference from the Outer Heaven slackers and Tie Dan’s meteoric rise, a new Sword Dao has emerged out of nowhere.
