Chapter 385 - 295: One Sword Shatters 10,000 Arts, Defeating the Master of Mount Jing!
Boundless Sword Seal, he had witnessed it before.
When Sword Fox Immortal was cultivating this seal, he had experienced it many times, but never with such power as Gu Yuan’s.
In his heart, he understood this was a sign of excessively strong mana.
He initially thought that in this magical combat, having abundant mana would be a major advantage for him, but to his surprise, he was already at a disadvantage, falling behind.
Yet, the quickness of the sword light left him no time to ponder. He took a deep breath, waved his sleeve, and another blue dharma seal flowed out, hovering above his head.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Once this seal appeared, a violent wind erupted between heaven and earth. This wind was fiercer than the Gang Wind, seemingly containing immense power within.
It was as if an ancient wind beast was roaring and growling, and the massive gust could move mountains, even suppressing the Gang Wind.
Mountain-moving Divine Wind Seal!
This was a dharma seal obtained by Master of Mount Jing through a stroke of luck, extremely powerful in its ability. Once activated, it can release boundless wind power, able to topple mountains and sever rivers, and if a Golden Core Cultivator is caught off guard, they will be blown a thousand miles away in an instant, unable to fly back.
Moreover, any dharma seal falling within will be forcibly swept away.
"Clang!"
Gu Yuan’s sword light, once it entered a ten-foot radius, was like a small boat caught in the ocean, instantly becoming unsteady.
But Gu Yuan merely smiled lightly, withdrew the sword light, gathering all the edge, leaving only a solitary sword pill to advance through the fierce wind.
Additionally, his mana surged again, pouring into the sword pill once more.
"Zoom!"
The sword pill’s previously wobbling trajectory immediately stabilized, like a silver meteor piercing the sky, heading straight for the chest of Master of Mount Jing.
Master of Mount Jing frowned once more.
Gu Yuan was forcing his mana to drive the sword pill through his Mountain-moving Divine Wind.
Could this junior brother’s mana have become so deep and vast?
His heart sank, but his hands moved without hesitation, a golden dharma seal flowed out, hovering above his head.
Beneath the dharma seal, the Dao Seal revolved with four bright little characters: Beiming True Water!
The Beiming True Water Seal, one of the Daoist School’s three True Scriptures, the core seal of the Beiming Carefree Scripture.
Once cultivated, this seal can condense Beiming True Water, water as heavy as can hardly be described, a single drop can create vast lakes and great rivers, containing immeasurable intent, akin to the abyss of Beiming, capable of trapping all the forces of heaven and earth.
Anyone, treasure, or seal trapped by this water will be immediately suppressed by the immense weight of Beiming, and unless they possess Great Magical Power, they cannot escape.
This seal combines offense and defense, changing in countless ways, with various incredible uses, not restricted to only one.
But cultivating this seal is extremely difficult, accumulating Beiming True Water requires step-by-step progress.
The more substantial the mana, the greater the power of this seal.
In truth, if spoken truly, the several major dharma seals of the Daoist School are methods of accumulating power and unleashing it explosively; the deeper the cultivation, the more the power of the seal can be manifested.
At this moment, Master of Mount Jing summoned the Beiming True Water Seal, and abruptly, a deep water glow the size of a palm surged forth.
"Fix!"
Master of Mount Jing lightly exclaimed, and the deep water glow suddenly flew out, wrapping around Gu Yuan’s sword pill.
This dharma as the peak seal of the Daoist School naturally contains an aspect surpassing the norm.
Once this seal is employed, it is like the fruit falling when ripe, inevitably successful, never missing.
Unless there is a top-tier method, it is sure to be wrapped up by the Beiming True Water.
Gu Yuan, well-versed in the Three True Scriptures, naturally understood the power of this seal.
So he did not urge the sword pill to maneuver and shift but rather unleashed all his mana, directly driving twenty bright sword lights toward that deep water glow, tearing into it.
The profound mystery of Beiming True Water, never missing.
Yet if the sword technique reaches an extreme of strength, it can also cleave mountains and sever seas, splitting Beiming!
Perhaps for the first time driving such vast mana into the sword pill, Gu Yuan was suddenly inspired, his Three-Heart Gold Seal within him radiating brilliance, momentarily generating a sense of mysticism of a sword breaking through myriad techniques.
"Zing!"
On the sword pill, the sword pattern shone brightly, suddenly splitting again into two sword lights.
In an instant, twenty-two sword lights rose like silver flood dragons, fiercely slashing toward that deep water glow.
"Boom!"
That water glow, though seemingly only palm-sized, holds water power of limitless measure, if crashed upon the earth vein, it would instantly become a thousand-mile-long river, a majestic scene, the essence of Master of Mount Jing’s entire cultivation!
But Gu Yuan’s mana, so vast and substantial, had already surpassed the early-stage Golden Core limit, reaching an inconceivable realm.
Under such mana, all sword techniques’ flaws are compensated!
A single sword can sever mountains and break seas, nothing remarkable!
In Master of Mount Jing’s incredulous gaze, the sword light flickered and vanished, tearing through the celestial vault, directly slicing open Beiming True Water, then without diminishing in momentum, whirled straight towards his chest.
This scene left the surrounding Golden Core cultivators utterly shocked.
Yet at this moment, Master of Mount Jing calmed down. Facing the sword light coming directly at him, he surprisingly didn’t dodge but instead opened his mouth and suddenly inhaled towards the void.
"Crash!"
An indescribable suction force surged from Master of Mount Jing’s abdomen, Gu Yuan’s sword light that broke Beiming, irresistibly, was swallowed whole.
Even the Sword Pill was swallowed in one gulp by Master of Mount Jing.
It seemed his abdomen contained a universe capable of swallowing anything!
Seeing this, Gu Yuan was not surprised. He knew that Master of Mount Jing had started to use his last resort.
Star Spirit!
The reason Master of Mount Jing could pass the celestial tribulation and achieve a Golden Core was because he possessed a Tier Three Star Spirit.
This was not a secret within the Daoist School.
This Star Spirit, called the "Heaven-Devouring Star Spirit," once actuated, a strange space would immediately form in the cultivator’s abdomen, capable of swallowing all incoming techniques wholly into the stomach.
In the past, Master of Mount Jing relied on this ability to swallow the celestial tribulation thunderfire in one gulp, achieving Golden Core safely.
This Star Spirit, having grown over years, evolved again, and Gu Yuan’s upper-class Sword Pill, such a sharp sword light, was swallowed whole, showing its might.
"Senior Brother, although this Star Spirit is marvelous, it has its limits, so be careful!"
Gu Yuan laughed aloud, with subtle lightning flickering in his eyes.
The Heaven-Devouring Star Spirit, swallowing myriad techniques, can even consume celestial tribulation, but these techniques and thunderfire do not disappear; they are temporarily locked in the Star Spirit’s abdomen.
During this time, the Star Spirit will slowly digest these thunderfire techniques, giving the Star Master time to deal with new threats.
However, a Tier Three Star Spirit has its limits. It cannot indiscriminately swallow all techniques in a heartbeat.
And with merely swallowing Gu Yuan’s Sword Pill, the Star Spirit was already reaching its limit.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan circulated his mana gently and didn’t fully activate the Five Thunders Punishment Heaven Seal, but lightly shouted.
Above the celestial vault, lightning spontaneously grew, a dim gray thunder shadow suddenly struck down.
"Ah!"
At this time, a sigh suddenly rang out.
Then Master of Mount Jing opened his mouth and spat out, a silver Sword Pill flew from his mouth, rapidly landing beside Gu Yuan.
"This Flying Star Moonlight Daoist Robe is a treasure, unique in the entire Daoist School, I must wear this robe to see Junior Brother off, be sure not to strike it!"
Master of Mount Jing spat out Gu Yuan’s Sword Pill, saying with a smile.
Hearing this, Gu Yuan felt relieved, and the gray lightning above the celestial vault immediately dissipated and vanished.
"How dare I strike Senior Brother?"
Gu Yuan put away the Sword Pill and saluted Master of Mount Jing with a bow, smiling as he spoke.
Since Master of Mount Jing had admitted defeat, he naturally wouldn’t pursue it further.
This situation was perfectly agreeable to him.
Gaining the spot without causing Master of Mount Jing any resentment.
And Master of Mount Jing gazed at Gu Yuan’s handsome and youthful face, sighing deeply in his heart.
Resentment?
How could there not be resentment?
Yet this Junior Brother’s methods were so formidable that he couldn’t resent at all.
When the disparity is too great, jealousy ceases.
"The victory is settled, but are there any Junior Brothers who wish to claim this spot?"
Master Tiandou’s figure appeared amidst the gang wind, asking around.
In this scenario, who would dare challenge Gu Yuan?
Master Yanghua and the other three quickly shook their heads.
"In that case, the Thousand Waves Sect spot will go to Junior Brother Gu."
"Junior Brother Gu, prepare well, three months from now, set out to Thousand Waves Sect!"
Master Tiandou saw this and immediately announced the final decision.
