A Long Grind to Daoist Monarch

Chapter 412 - 250: The Twelve Jade Towers’ Celestial Melody, Little Daoist Reappears in the Mortal World

"Disciple dares to ask! Please, Master, deploy your profound power once more!"

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s sincere and earnest plea, Chen Xing’s eyes twitched, almost causing him to impulsively agree.

At worst, he’d sacrifice ten years of cultivation and endure a few sword strikes!

But before he could utter a word, he saw his disciple’s reckless ambition, aiming for that grand and unparalleled sword force the size of a great mountain.

Reckless fool!

Do you wish for the Master to ascend to heaven?!

"Old Chen, quickly kick Ah Qi out!"

Chen Xing was struck by terror, cold sweat pouring down.

His physical body bore a sword Qi injury that contained the frightening killing power of the rumored Seventh Profound Mysterious Divine Soldier from the Fallen Immortal Mansion.

Its mastery of the Sword Dao reached the Tenth Realm of "One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Methods!"

Like a bone-attaching rash, impossible to remove entirely and unending in its threat.

This type of Dao injury cannot be remedied with ordinary means.

The so-called "Dao injury" involves damage to either the physical body or divine soul, embedded with the essence of the great Tao.

An ancient saying goes, "The Tao rises an inch, the demon rises a yard."

To completely eliminate a Dao injury, one can only use their own "Tao" to wear down another’s "Tao".

Thus, when battling formidable adversaries, if one survives, there’s a significant opportunity to carefully examine the opponent’s foundation, and even devise a method for resolution.

Chen Xing originally intended to use his own Dao injury as a trial to thoroughly sharpen Bai Qi.

Allowing his incredible talent to unravel the supreme top-grade sword technique essence encompassed in the Dao injury!

To cultivate another Kou Qiuyue whose gifts are unmatched in the Divine Land!

Earlier, Chen Xing faced two sword forces at most, lingering at the level of practicing and refining swords.

Just barely capable of enduring it!

But he knew, within the essence of thousands, even tens of thousands of sword techniques.

There is a killing sword force that even giants of divine power fear, known as "Twelve Jade Towers Celestial Sound."

Ten years ago, Yan Xin and Kou Qiuyue jointly activated the Seventh Profound Mysterious Divine Soldier, suspected to be the Immortal Sword, dust-sealed for three thousand years.

Within the Fallen Immortal Mansion, a clear tone suddenly soared high like ascending to the clouds beyond the skies.

At just the seventh turn, it obliterated Chen Yin’s physical body; the eighth turn utterly destroyed Chen Du’s life, forcing him into thirty years of silence.

Had it not been for the Immortal Sword lacking a master, unable to be fully activated, stopping before the ninth turn, Chen Xing possibly would not have been spared either.

Stripped of his true skills’ foundation, dropped from Divine Power Secret Realm to Four Cultivation Grandmasters, which was relatively a better outcome.

"Chen Xing, what’s the rush. Even if half a lifetime of painstaking cultivation is wasted, it’s worth it for your outstanding disciple to comprehend the unparalleled sword intent! I support Bai Qilang!"

Chen Yin spoke leisurely, awaiting to enjoy the sight of Chen Xing jumping in frustration.

"Very well then. The ’Twelve Jade Towers Celestial Sound,’ known as ’Seventh Turn Commands Life, Eighth Turn Destroys the Divine, Ninth Turn Breaks Calamity’... Since old Chen you want to experience it anew, I am willing to risk my life for a gentleman!"

Chen Xing’s eyelids drooped, his expression suddenly calm, as if he’d come to terms.

Immediately, he was about to nod and transmit his voice, permitting Bai Qi to choose the tenth sword that transcends the universe.

"Twelve Jade Towers Celestial Sound? This is insane! How did your disciple get involved!"

Chen Yin’s scalp tingled instantly, losing the composure of the White Sun Sect Leader.

The pain from having one’s flesh completely obliterated, the skin and casing destroyed, leaves a permanent mark on the divine soul, impossible to forget!

Unable to stand back and watch the chaos, he swung his sleeve as if a mighty invisible hand risen boldly, dragging Bai Qi and tossing him out of the Inner Scenic Land!

...

...

"Twelve Jade Towers Celestial Sound?"

Bai Qi slowly refined the divine seed of Sword Monarch Twelve Hatreds, seeing clearly that grand and unmatched sword force’s name.

"Quite elegant, with an ethereal immortal aura."

Earlier, he heard Chen Xing’s voice, and after pondering for a moment, grasped most of the prior events’ essence.

This grand opportunity was certainly sought by the Master!

"The Master wishes to impart the Sword Dao to me, but fears my father’s opposition, thus pretends deception, leading me to the Inner Scenic Land... even risking his power to fend off sword Qi slay for me."

Bai Qi was deeply moved and resolved not to let the Master’s good intentions be in vain, aiming to select the tenth sword ranked highest among many sword techniques like a peak monopolizing the world!

"No matter how much suffering the Master endures, no matter the anguish, the disciple willingly persists! As long as it leads to advancement..."

With this thought, Bai Qi immediately stepped forth, bowing to that vast mountain-like sword Qi supporting the four-star realm:

"Please instruct me..."

Before the words could leave his mouth, the Divine Soul Embryo was relentlessly pressured by an invisible power, forcefully booted out of that Inner Scenic Land.

The mystical void closed, seemingly shutting him out.

"The Master arduously sought advancement opportunity for me..."

Bai Qi’s divine soul returned to his flesh, gently opening his eyes, lamenting:

"Unfortunately, unable to seize."

...

...

Inside the quiet room.

Chen Xing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, nearly lost his life.

If Bai Qi truly chose "Twelve Jade Towers Celestial Sound," by next year, grass on his grave would be three feet high.

By then, would the obstinate disciple Ninghai Zen light an incense stick and shed tears?

"Your Tongwen Hall! Do you not know how to ’settle down’? Constantly causing significant troubles! Twelve Jade Towers Celestial Sound, even a wisp of divine intent radiating, you and I may have to explain ourselves!"

Chen Yin felt lingering fear, the resurgence power of the Immortal Sword clearly memorable, etched in his bones.

A single clear tone resounding, whatever divine power giant, unmatched ghost immortal, all become lost souls!

Even as the esteemed White Sun Sect Leader, possessing a vast collection of books and knowing secret truths about Dao loss, Chen Yin never witnessed such a paramount sword intent breaking everything and nothing remains intact!

"It’s not that exaggerated. Twelve Jade Towers Celestial Sound truly stands peerless, even regarded as Divine Land’s first, overshadowing all, is not unreasonable.
