A Sword to Protect Yourself From Thousands of Miles

Chapter 1673: One Sword for Self-Defense

It was very simple to prepare for the Luotian Grand Ceremony with the military force of Heaven. The various armies sent the slaves captured by Heaven. After more than a month, the number of slaves reached the requirements of the Lord of Lingguan Palace.

On the day of Luotian Grand Ceremony, the Lord of Lingguan Temple paved the altar with the bones of countless slaves. He ascended the altar and used the flesh and blood of slaves as sacrifices to worship the 1,200 holy ones who had achieved enlightenment in the countless Daluotian in Yujing City, his ancestral temple in the past. He used the blood of all living beings to ask these Taoists to lend him power and protect him.

When the Luotian Grand Ceremony reached a critical moment, the shadow of the ancestral city of Yujing appeared above the altar, suppressing the heaven and earth.

This divine city is vast, majestic, and spectacular. Inside it are sixteen long chaotic rivers that form winding rings. Between the rivers are the remains of Yujing City.

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace performed a ritual on the altar, sacrificing all living beings. The souls in the countless corpses howled miserably, and turned into black smoke that rushed towards Yujing City.

Wisps of black smoke were seen rushing into the city, then condensing in the long rivers of chaos, and gradually the figures of enlightened people emerged.

There were twelve hundred of these figures, all blurry and indistinct, like black and white.

But these figures stand tall in the long river of chaos, experiencing the great catastrophe of destruction and remaining immortal forever. They are the existences of enlightenment in the history of Yujing City. The Luotian Dajiao sounds mysterious, but in fact it also uses the principle of mass-energy replacement to sacrifice all living things and borrow their power from these enlightened people.

Emperor Haotian and Emperor Taichu led important civil and military officials of the Heavenly Court to watch the ceremony. When they saw this scene, they were shocked and terrified.

"Your Majesty, the power of Zuting Yujing City is too great, we must be on guard against it."

The Supreme Emperor Taichu said, "If all the enlightened beings in the ancestral temple Yujing City come here, I'm afraid this universe will be destroyed soon."

Emperor Haotian nodded gently: "What the Supreme Emperor said is very true. However, the Taoist magic power of the Zuting Yujing City makes me very jealous. This Luotian Grand Ceremony borrows the power of the Taoists in the past through sacrifice, which is extremely powerful! As the master of the 72 halls, Lingguan is really powerful."

Taichu stopped speaking.

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace is indeed very powerful and proficient in all kinds of magical arts. This Luotian Grand Ceremony is eye-opening. In comparison, even the achievements of today's Yankang Reform are not as good as the accumulation of the Yujing City, the ancestral home of the universe in the past.

Above the altar, waves of terrifying power surged and blessed the Lord of the Lingguan Palace. This power shook the void, and even Taichu and Haotian Emperor, the two enlightened ones, felt their hearts frightened. As for the other important civil and military officials, they had already been shocked by this powerful force and their faith in Taoism was shaken. They knelt on the ground one by one, not daring to look up.

The head of the Lingguan Palace, Wushou, finished his ritual on the altar and activated his own Dao fruit, connecting it with his own Dao!

This Dao fruit is related to his head. If he can erase the sword power hidden in Qin Mu's Dao fruit, he can use the power of the Dao fruit to grow a head.

If he could not wipe out Qin Mu's sword power, he might even be invaded by Qin Mu's sword power and enter his body, infecting other Taoist fruits and flowers!

At this moment, he was full of confidence, and his own avenue was connected with the Dao Fruit, which activated Qin Mu's hidden sword power in the Dao Fruit!

Suddenly, the sword light on the altar was as bright as lightning, and in an instant the sky was filled with swords, spreading out layer by layer!

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace has horns on his shoulders, intestines like a coiled dragon, and a spine like a snake or python. There are 1,200 gods of all sizes in his body, who are connected to the aura of 1,200 Dao Lords in the ancestral palace, Yujing City. He has infinite power!

He was in unrivalled momentum at the time, and with the strength of the Luotian Dajiao, he challenged Qin Mu's sword skills head-on, trying his best to refine Qin Mu's sword skills!

Clank, clank, clank——

Thirteen consecutive sword sounds were heard from the altar. After a moment, the sky full of swords disappeared, the sword lights dimmed, and the Lord of the Lingguan Palace stood there. In front and behind him, three Dao fruits and a Dao flower were suspended.

The flesh on his shoulder squirmed, and soon a new head grew out.

"Thank you all for your help!"

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace bowed and saluted to the 1,200 Dao Lords in the shadow of Yujing City in the air. The 1,200 Dao Lords in the shadow of Yujing City bowed in return and their figures gradually disappeared.

The shadow of the ancestral city of Yujing also quickly disappeared, and the Luotian Grand Ceremony ended.

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace jumped down from the altar with a relaxed posture. The huge altar of bones suddenly collapsed and turned into powder. The spiritual power and energy of countless bones were exhausted. Just now, it was supported by the power of the Lord of the Lingguan Palace. Now that the Lord of the Lingguan Palace came down, it would naturally collapse and shatter.

"Emperor of Heaven, I originally had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Seventh Young Master, but I never knew that the Seventh Young Master would take the initiative to provoke me and recruit evil people like Shang Jun under his command."

The head of the Lingguan Palace strode over and came to the front of Emperor Haotian, with an angry look on his face and a thunderous voice: "Seventh Young Master is ruthless, ruining my Taoism and destroying my Tao tree, which is considered to be evil to me. In this case, I don't have to be hypocritical with him! You want to crush Yankang, then I will help you, crush Yankang, and sacrifice blood to the Yuanjie!"

Emperor Haotian laughed loudly, stood up from the throne, and said loudly: "With the help of the Palace Master, what else do I have to worry about? Come on, set up a banquet! Today, I, my beloved ministers, and the Palace Master of Lingguan will not leave until we are drunk!"

Therefore, a grand banquet was held in the other palace, and the gods in heaven toasted each other and laughed happily. At the banquet, many divine beings toasted to the Lord of the Lingguan Palace.

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace accepted all the drinks and drank them all. Another sacred being, taking advantage of the alcohol, stepped forward and asked about Taoism and magical powers. The Lord of the Lingguan Palace was very straightforward and answered all of them.

For a moment, both the host and the guests were happy and laughed like thunder.

While they were enjoying the wine, Emperor Haotian leaned over and asked with a smile: "Palace Master, you are older than me, so I call you Brother Dao. May I ask, Brother Dao, how many ways are there to achieve enlightenment in this world?"

The head of the Lingguan Palace was drunk and said, "Brother, there are four ways to achieve enlightenment. The first one is the most orthodox way to achieve enlightenment in the Dao Realm, which was created by the teacher. The second one is the Yujing Way to Achieve Enlightenment, also known as the Way to Achieve Enlightenment by Force, which belongs to borrowing force, borrowing the power of Yujing City, and is a side door. The third one was created by the second young master, called the Way to Achieve Enlightenment in Guixu..."

Emperor Haotian was greatly shocked, but he remained calm and asked, "May I ask how this Guixu Dao method can lead to enlightenment?"

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace was about to speak when suddenly, among the three Dao Fruits floating behind his head, the one in the middle cracked with a snap!

A sword light suddenly shot out from the Taoist fruit, and with a swish the sword cut off the head of the Lord of the Lingguan Palace!

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace was holding a huge wine glass, and his head just fell into the glass with a gulp, and the wine mixed with blood splattered everywhere!

The sword light was extremely sharp, like a sword that opened up the sky. It swept in all directions and instantly split Emperor Haotian's palace into two!

When the sword was thrown, many of the sacred beings in the temple lowered their heads and prostrated themselves on the ground to avoid the sword light. Many of them did not have time to dodge and had their heads chopped off by the sword!

Emperor Haotian roared angrily and stood up to block the sword light. Just as he blocked the sword light, he saw the head in the huge wine glass held by the Lord of Lingguan Palace exploded with a bang and turned into a chaotic air!

Chaotic energy slowly rose from the giant wine glass. A figure walked out from the vast energy and absorbed the chaotic energy. The figure seemed to be transformed by the chaotic energy, with gray hair and eyebrows, and the same as Qin Mu's.

Behind the Lord of the Lingguan Palace, another sword light flew out from the Dao Fruit that was split apart by the sword light and was caught in the hand of Qin Mu, who was transformed by the chaotic energy.

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace was caught off guard, and hurriedly activated the Dao Fruit and Dao Flower to heal the wound on his shoulder to prevent the sword light from invading his body!

"I have many strange things since I was young."

Qin Mu danced with the sword, the sword light was like a silk thread, sweeping in all directions, under the flying palace, the five great masters of the Five Emperors were stabbed by the sword, blood splattered, and the five powerful men of the Five Emperors fell and flew away!

Qin Mu turned his sword around and pointed it at Taichu's forehead. Taichu immediately stepped back and raised a finger to block his forehead to block the sword light.

"Quite teasing, Yuguan Dingyuan, Hutou Xinxi."

Qin Mu, who was transformed by the chaotic energy, chanted incessantly, and sword lights crisscrossed, causing a big disturbance in the banquet. All of a sudden, important civil and military officials of the Heavenly Court were hit one after another. Some had their bodies pierced by the sword light and were nailed to the ground, sliding all the way. Some had their souls just leave their bodies and were about to use their magical powers to attack when they were pierced by a sword!

Emperor Haotian leaped into the air, his long sleeves fluttering, and attacked Qin Mu, who was transformed by the chaotic energy.

As soon as he made a move, other important civil and military officials did not dare to step forward to attack. They only saw the two of them flying, and soon large sections of the palace collapsed. The civil and military officials tried to avoid them, but many were unable to do so. Some were slapped away by Emperor Haotian, and spun in the air like windmills, while others were pierced by sword light and fell to the ground bleeding.

"One sword can protect you from thousands of miles away, no matter where you go!"

Qin Mu, transformed from the chaotic energy, came and went in the other palace as fast as light and lightning. He did not confront Emperor Haotian head-on, but attacked the civil and military officials.

Taichu came from one side and blocked Qin Mu's phantom with Emperor Haotian. However, Qin Mu's phantom did not confront them head-on. It ran away after being touched, sometimes turning into chaotic air, and sometimes appearing to injure the enemy with a sword!

"My appetite for wine and my courage for poetry have shrunk recently. Facing the west wind, I climb a height and gaze far into the distance, with the sun setting over the chaotic mountains. I wish I had a good bow and a fast horse, so I could wrestle with you gentlemen."

Qin Muge expressed his aspirations and took advantage of the chaos to kill people everywhere. For a time, the people in the other palaces were in a panic, and all the civil and military officials in the Heavenly Court fled in all directions.

Suddenly, the Lord of the Lingguan Palace suppressed his injuries, flashed, and stood in front of the phantom of Qin Mu. He slapped out with one palm, and Qin Mu exploded with a bang, turning into a ball of chaotic air.

The chaotic energy was about to condense, and the Lord of the Lingguan Palace waved his sleeves and gathered all the chaotic energy in his sleeves!

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace spread out his five fingers, and the chaotic energy flowed out of his sleeves and into his palms.

The Lord of the Lingguan Palace clenched his fist heavily, and the chaotic energy exploded with a bang, and the sword power hidden inside was crushed by him!

The dragon head in his belly button roared with extreme anger: "Seventh Young Master——"

"How dare you tease me like this? I will make sure you know what it means to be unable to live or to die!"

In the ultimate void, Qin Mu found the location marked on the Taiyi geographical map. He looked around and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He saw that the void was empty and there was nothing here.

"There's not even a chill in the air. That's what's so strange."

He opened his eyes between his brows and looked around, seeing the ultimate void clearly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and a ray of light shone from the eye between his eyebrows. Wherever his gaze fell, the ultimate void slowly retreated, revealing a small piece of Daluo Sky.

Daluotian was pitifully small, with only a small space for the abbot, a thatched hut, and an old tree behind the hut.
