Chapter 1658 Dragon Enters the Sea
Zhang Qian did not feel any envy towards Gai Xianfan's swordsmanship, because he knew he could not do it.
Not everyone can reach the next level of swordsmanship by creating a unique path. This level cannot be achieved by great opportunity, great enlightenment, great luck, or great perseverance.
Even with all these terrible conditions, one still has to devote himself to the way of the sword without seeking help from outsiders to have a slight chance.
Could Zhang Qian devote himself to the way of the sword? It was impossible. Could he give up the authority of the rule of yin and yang, the body of the chaotic god and devil, the position of the Lord of the Great World, all kinds of precious spiritual treasures, and the Heavenly Jade Body he cultivated?
He couldn't do it.
On the other hand, Gai Xianfan has been walking on the path of swordsmanship from beginning to end and has never taken any other path. The white divine sword in his hand is still the same one, the one he refined himself in the Xihuang world.
In terms of grade, it is at most an acquired spiritual treasure, and there is nothing mysterious about it. Compared with Panzu's Hunyuan Divine Sword, the gap is immeasurable. However, with Gai Xianfan's current level of swordsmanship, does he still need an innate spiritual treasure or even an innate supreme treasure-level sword?
No need for that. Even if he was holding a branch, the power of his swordsmanship alone was enough to overwhelm the present generation and dominate the ancient world!
After all, what is strong is the man and the swordsmanship, not the magic sword in the hand!
What surprised Zhang Qian even more was Gai Xianfan's level of cultivation. He couldn't actually see it. It was not that he couldn't see it. Gai Xianfan was no longer following the path of immortality, but his unique sword path. The ordinary level of cultivation was not enough for him.
He only pursues the way of the sword, and things like cultivation realm have become dispensable to him!
"I want to feel your swordsmanship again!"
Zhang Qian suddenly made such a request.
Gai Xianfan did not refuse. He sat cross-legged behind the desk, staring at Zhang Qian without moving. But Zhang Qian suddenly felt a fatal sense of crisis.
This fatal sense of crisis was not directed at his physical body, soul, or true spirit, but at the concept of his existence in the world!
He had a feeling that if Gai Xianfan stabbed him with a sword, the basis of his existence, his spiritual consciousness would be destroyed, and he would completely disappear in the universe, as if he had never existed!
“Fortunately, if I were to transform into the Yin-Yang Law, I would not be affected. However, if Gai Xianfan’s swordsmanship continues to break through and reaches the point where he can look at the Supreme Heavenly Dao, or even the Great Dao of the Law, it would be useless for me to transform into the Yin-Yang Law, and I would still die!”
Zhang Qian discovered a clue. Gai Xianfan's sword art was not yet perfect. Now he could only look at the powerful people in the Hunyuan realm at eye level. He was far from being able to look at the Supreme Heavenly Dao at eye level, let alone look at the laws of the world at eye level.
It is so difficult to look at the Supreme Heavenly Way straight in the eye. If it really comes to that, Gai Xianfan will stab it with his sword and the Supreme Heavenly Way will be annihilated in an instant, and the basis for the existence of the Heavenly Way will become nothingness.
But to achieve such power is countless times more difficult than becoming a saint!
As for looking straight at the Supreme Avenue, it is almost simply a direction of cultivation, just like many peerless magic skills that are said to transcend the Avenue. Whether it can be achieved is not determined by the magic skill itself.
Even so, Gai Xianfan is now extremely powerful. To him, an ant on the roadside is no different from those Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, Daluo Golden Immortals, or even Hunyuan True Immortals. He can destroy them all with one strike of his sword.
It feels like we are all ants below the level of saints!
Zhang Qian even suspected that even the Golden Immortals like Zhulong and Fengzu would be hurt in their spiritual consciousness when facing Gai Xianfan's sword!
The injuries to the spiritual consciousness are more difficult to recover from than the injuries to the true spirit. Once injured by his sword, there is no way one can make any further progress and his future will be ruined!
"With such a good swordsmanship, how can you be indistinguishable from the crowd? This time, I will join hands with Ji Tiandi, Zhulong and others to go to Dongji Land to rescue Zulong. Are you interested?"
Zhang Qian extended an invitation. If Hongjun showed up, Gai Xianfan had such terrifying combat power, he might be able to give the opponent a ruthless blow. It would be best if he could hurt Hongjun's spiritual consciousness and ruin his future!
"Since you asked, I will naturally not refuse. I also want to meet the great powers of the ancient world and use them to test the edge of my sword!"
Gai Xianfan agreed readily.
“Hahahaha, then let’s not delay any longer. I’m sure Emperor Ji Tian and the others can’t wait any longer. Let’s set off!”
He stood up and took Gai Xianfan out of the palace where he was. He saw Zhulong, Jitiandi and Fengzu waiting not far away.
"Who is he?"
Zhulong stared at Gai Xianfan and asked.
In his opinion, this swordsman dressed in white was very strange. It was impossible to tell his level of cultivation. He looked like an ordinary swordsman.
"Gai Xianfan!"
Gai Xianfan only said three words, gave his name, and said no more.
"Zhulong, what are you looking at? Gai Xianfan is the helper I invited. With him, we are much more confident in dealing with Hongjun."
Zhang Qian summoned Chi'ao and flew everyone to the palace above Chi'ao's head while saying, "Humph, I hope so!"
Zhulong looked at Gai Xianfan deeply and said no more.
Emperor Ji Tian was different. When Gai Xianfan's sword intent erupted and suppressed Chi Ao, he was right next to him. Naturally, he also felt the terrifying sword intent. He also felt the fatal sense of crisis. That's why he had no doubt about Zhang Qian's words.
"Fellow Daoist is also from the human race of the heavens, why don't you join Shouyang Mountain and protect the orthodoxy of our human race together!"
After everyone took their seats, Emperor Ji Tian directly invited Gai Xianfan.
"Not interested in!"
Unexpectedly, Gai Xianfan directly refused, with an indifferent look on his face, and was not moved at all.
"Haha, whatever, whatever!"
Emperor Ji Tian did not force it. He felt that Gai Xianfan's swordsmanship was indeed terrifying, but apart from swordsmanship, he had no other strengths. His body was fragile and he had no treasures. Everything about him was mediocre. Since he was rejected, he did not lose face and try to persuade him again.
Rumble...!
The huge Chi'ao soared into the sky, landed above the nine heavens, and flew straight into the depths of the East China Sea.
"Pan Zu is already waiting. Let's go to the East China Sea Eye first!"
Zhulong then took out a jade slip and said.
"Eye of the East China Sea?"
Zhang Qian's expression changed, and following Zhulong's instructions, he let Chi'ao slightly change direction and head straight for the Eye of the East China Sea.
The great power of the ancient times who had been secretly paying attention to Mount Shouyang immediately realized that Zhulong and others had set out after Chi'ao flew to the East China Sea, and that it was imperative to rescue Zulong.
"I don't know how Hongjun will deal with it."
"Just wait and see. Another big battle is about to begin. How could Hongjun sit back and watch them rescue Zulong? He suppressed Zulong in the East Pole because he acted on behalf of Heaven. Zhang Qian and the others' rescue of Zulong is actually going against Heaven's will and disobeying Heaven's will. Hongjun will take action."
"Who do you think will win? In the last battle at Shouyang Mountain, Zhang Qian severely injured Hongjun with the Chaos Pearl. This time he took the initiative to jump out, so he must be sure of winning."
"That's not necessarily true. Hongjun is not someone who can be easily dealt with. Last time he was caught off guard, and that's why he was ambushed by Zhang Qian. Now that Hongjun is on guard, it will be impossible for Zhang Qian to attack him again."
Hongjun, mentioned by the great powers of the ancient times, did not go to the easternmost land at this moment, but appeared quietly in the western land.
After flying over Mount Sumeru, he continued to move forward, invoking the power of the Jade Butterfly of Creation and relying on the power of the laws of the great world, he arrived at the end of the western land in an instant.
Rumble!
The vast Milky Way flows into the bottomless abyss here. This is the end of the Milky Way in the starry sky. No one knows where the Milky Way will flow after falling from here.
Standing at the end of the western land, you can feel the vastness of the Milky Way at the closest distance.
Like a waterfall covering the entire sky, trillions of starlight are scattered throughout, illuminating the entire earth with brilliant light.
Hongjun looked at the boundless sky river above his head, and leaped directly into the abyss in front of him!
