Chapter 309 308: Master Xuan Ji
Above Beiming Transformation Sea's head, the Beiming Sword hovered.
Before Yuan Huaitian, the Five Elements Seal hung in the air.
These were two Supreme Treasures, and neither had yet been used. Just now, Beiming Transformation Sea had only used an ordinary Treasure Sword, and Yuan Huaitian had not employed this Spirit Seal either.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, your attainments in the Mystical of the Five Elements are truly extraordinary. However, I have not yet used my Beiming Sword Sect's Beiming Kunpeng Sword." Beiming Transformation Sea's eyes narrowed and the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile. His expression was filled with arrogance. After all, the Beiming Kunpeng Sword was the Sect's Technique of the Beiming Sword Sect.
Even members of the Beichen Clan and the Beishan Clan would find it difficult to obtain this complete Supreme Swordsmanship.
"The Beiming Kunpeng Sword!" At these words, even Sect Leader Yuan's brow furrowed slightly.
Centuries ago, the Beiming Sword Sect had dominated the Southern Wilderness with this very Swordsmanship.
The sword becomes the North Sea, the body becomes the Kunpeng!
A deep voice sounded from the mouth of Beiming Transformation Sea.
Then, the seawater around him began to churn, and a vast aura rampaged forth like a torrent.
Beiming Transformation Sea's body trembled, and ripples spread through the Void around him.
Then, the Void before him seemed to truly transform into a vast sea.
However, as this seawater roiled, Sword Qi howled above it.
The Sword Qi was so violent that even those a thousand miles away felt a bone-chilling sensation.
As the Beiming Sword Sea appeared, Beiming Transformation Sea made his move.
WHOOSH!
With a single movement, he stepped into the Sword Sea before him.
The next moment, his Black Gold Treasure Sword flashed, and his body seemed to merge with the blade.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
The Sword Sea roiled, stirring up thousand-meter-high waves.
Then, the crowd saw a Giant Kun within the massive waves. It flapped its fins, shot into the sky, and transformed into a Peng, soaring upward.
As the Peng ascended, it transformed again, becoming like a Long Sword that stabbed directly toward Yuan Huaitian.
The rising Peng, like a sword, tore through the giant waves and ripped open the sky, carrying an aura that could tear through anything.
"One sword creates a sea, then transforms into a Peng... is this the Beiming Kunpeng Sword?" The distant Cultivators were all stunned by this scene.
Even the pupils of the two Divine Mansion Realm Powerhouses from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple and the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers contracted abruptly.
This sword strike was clearly Beiming Transformation Sea's all-out attack.
"Five Elements Transforming Heaven!" Yuan Huaitian's eyes focused. Five Elements Dao Patterns swirled around him, constantly interweaving, and in an instant, they condensed into a Divine Technique Heaven and Earth.
This Heaven and Earth began to gradually bind the Beiming Kunpeng Sword, neutralizing its Sword Momentum.
However, the Beiming Sword was too powerful. Its imposing aura continuously tore through the Five Elements Dao Patterns as it pressed its attack toward Yuan Huaitian.
'The Beiming Kunpeng Sword truly is powerful.' Yuan Huaitian's eyes flashed. He moved his hands, forming one Spirit Seal after another.
Immediately, those Spirit Seals shot out to suppress the lunging Kunpeng.
BANG! BANG!
Loud bangs rang out as the Beiming Kunpeng Sword advanced unstoppably, piercing through the Spirit Seals one by one as it continued its charge toward Yuan Huaitian.
Finally, the Giant Seal that Yuan Huaitian had condensed shattered, and a vast wave of Sword Qi swept over him like the sea.
Before Yuan Huaitian's eyes, it was as if a Kunpeng was pouncing on him.
In his haste, Yuan Huaitian retreated again and again.
He retreated a full twenty miles before the aftershocks of the Sword Qi finally began to weaken.
On the other side, however, Beiming Transformation Sea's presence was like a rainbow. He strode through the air, and before him, it was as if a vast sea floated in the sky.
"The Sect Leader is so powerful!"
"Heh, to think the mere Lingyun Sect dares to contend with our Beiming Sword Sect." Seeing Sect Leader Yuan forced back, the members of the Beiming Sword Sect were all ecstatic.
"This Beiming Transformation Sea has already reached the second minor realm of the Divine Mansion Realm, the Soul Pool Realm."
The monk from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple abruptly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Beiming Transformation Sea was pressing forward step by step, while Yuan Huaitian wore a solemn expression, braced for the next attack.
SWISH!
Beiming Transformation Sea attacked. His Long Sword split the air, lunging like a Kunpeng, once again aiming to kill Yuan Huaitian.
Clearly, he intended to use this display of power to intimidate everyone and utterly crush Yuan Huaitian.
"Amitabha!" However, just as Beiming Transformation Sea made his move, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out.
Immediately, a massive, shimmering golden hand appeared in the sky, moving to block Beiming Transformation Sea's sword strike.
The distant observers then saw a gigantic Kunpeng collide with a massive hand that radiated with endless Buddhist light.
BANG!
A heaven-shaking boom echoed out. The sword light scattered, the Sword Sea surged into thousand-meter-high waves, and overlapping ripples spread across the Void ahead.
Beiming Transformation Sea's attack had actually been blocked.
Then, the golden hand retracted into thin air.
Countless gazes from all over the Falling Star Mountain Range were immediately drawn to the scene.
Beiming Transformation Sea was incredibly powerful; once his Kunpeng Sword was unleashed, even Yuan Huaitian had been at a disadvantage.
Yet now, his sword strike had been defeated.
"Who was that?" someone asked, their face full of curiosity as they peered toward the spot in the Void where the hand had appeared.
Following their gazes, the crowd saw the people from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple.
"It's the people from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple!" At this, many of the Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses adopted solemn expressions.
"The people of the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple usually don't meddle in worldly affairs. Why have they interfered this time?" An Elder from Wind Watching Cliff frowned deeply.
If the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple and the Lingyun Sect joined forces, not even the Beiming Sword Sect would be able to gain an advantage!
"Master Xuan Ji, what is the meaning of this?" In the distant Void, Beiming Transformation Sea turned his head. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, locking onto the person who had just intervened.
"Amitabha. The Southern Wilderness has been peaceful for many years. Fellow Daoist Beiming, why must you stir up trouble again?" Master Xuan Ji rose and stepped out of the Flying Chariot.
He was barefoot and wore a kasaya robe. When the soles of his feet touched down, golden light bloomed in the Void as if about to form a Golden Lotus. Though his tone was calm, his body contained a terrifying Power. The moment Master Xuan Ji appeared, the very atmosphere of the world shifted.
The terrifying Sword Momentum emanating from Beiming Transformation Sea was instantly neutralized by the gentle Buddhist light surrounding his body.
Seeing Master Xuan Ji step forward, Beiming Transformation Sea's brow furrowed tightly. He thought to himself, 'This monk has also reached the Soul Pool Realm.'
At this moment, his face was filled with apprehension.
From their earlier exchange, he had already determined that Yuan Huaitian was merely at the Divine Mansion Opening Realm.
Therefore, Beiming Transformation Sea had shown no scruples toward the Lingyun Sect, planning to strike forcefully and crush Yuan Huaitian.
But who would have thought that someone from the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple would interfere?
It was well-known that this Sect rarely took action, and it was exceedingly difficult to persuade them to do so.
"Master Xuan Ji, what benefits did that Yuan Huaitian offer you?" As Master Xuan Ji stepped forward, Beiming Transformation Sea sent him a sound transmission.
Without some benefit, the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple would surely not have gotten involved.
"Heh, a Great Sun Golden Core!" Master Xuan Ji replied with a smile, also via sound transmission.
"A Great Sun Golden Core?" Beiming Transformation Sea frowned. "The Great Sun Golden Core is a Buddhist Spiritual Pill. If consumed, it can help one forge a Buddhist foundation and achieve Great Success in the Great Sun Vajra Technique. However, not even a Pill King can necessarily refine such an Elixir. Does the Lingyun Sect have one?"
"Not at the moment. But perhaps, in the future, they will," Master Xuan Ji said.
"Just because that Ling Fei is an alchemy genius?" Beiming Transformation Sea asked.
"Precisely." Master Xuan Ji nodded.
Having reached their level, no one would naturally believe that one would intervene merely to maintain peace in the Southern Wilderness.
That was why Master Xuan Ji spoke so bluntly.
Beiming Transformation Sea frowned and fell silent.
He naturally knew what the Great Sun Golden Core meant to Master Xuan Ji.
With this Pill, his combat strength would soar, and he might even have the chance to advance further.
After reaching this Realm, advancing further was exceedingly difficult.
How could he possibly pass up such an opportunity?
That was why Master Xuan Ji had intervened.
