nThe Reincarnating Lotus Sword had absorbed a thousand years’ worth of reserve from the Main Path Guild.

nBy immersing in the spiritual sense from the 360 stone tablets inside the Main Path Mausoleum, any ordinary sword could be transfigured into a magical weapon.

nIn fact, Fang Lang was aware that the energy harbored inside the Reincarnating Lotus Sword was immense. Unfortunately, Fang Lang was not able to control it.

nThe Reincarnating Lotus Sword could be considered the most powerful weapon in the Tang Dynasty.

nWith the assistance of the Enlightenment Card, a century had passed in a fleeting moment and he finally understood the time sword intent inside the Reincarnating Lotus Sword.

nThe sword intent seed inside his energy center finally bloomed, realizing the sword intent in the third-class realm.

nThe entire world fell silent before an explosion erupted.

nThe Reincarnating Lotus Sword soared like a ferocious dragon, breaking free from the coach.

nThe five elders of the Main Path Guild who supported the rune were stunned by the scene before them!

nThe next second, all of their faces twisted into a hideous expression!

nDing!

nThe Reincarnating Lotus Sword slammed into one of the sides of the rune cage.

nImmense sword intent erupted again and again like giant waves that kept hitting on the same spot.

nBreaking it by hitting on its weak point!

nThe tip of the blade pierced through the rune cage by an inch.

nThe rune cage was at its breaking point.

nInside the cage, the white-robed young man opened his eyes. As his robe billowed, Fang Lang charged out from the cage like a white steed.

nFang Lang was exuding blade energy from his entire body as he punched on the handle of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword that was facing the five elders.

nThat was the last straw that broke the camel’s back!

nThe five elders from the Main Path Guild watched in disbelief as the sword pierced through the Five Phase Rune.

nThe explosion echoed through the surroundings.

nThe five elders flew backward gently with astonishment on their faces.

nBeside the carriage, Zhao Wuji was sweating profusely as he stared at Fang Lang alight from the carriage.

nFang Lang’s white robe fluttered gracefully. Both his hands were resting by his sides. The Reincarnating Lotus Sword was hovering quietly at the height of his shoulders.

nFang Lang was just in the third-class realm. How did he manage to break free from the rune cage cast by the five elders from the Main Path Guild?

nTo be an elder in the Main Path Guild, one would need to reach at least a seven-class cursed-heaven realm.

nA third-class tore through a seven-class rune cage?

nThis was just unreal!

nHowever, Zhao Wuji was no fool. He quickly understood that the Reincarnating Lotus Sword ripped through the rune, not Fang Lang!

nThe five elders that dispersed like a dandelion stared at the Reincarnating Lotus Sword warily from afar.

nFang Lang did not threaten them but they were definitely intimidated by the Reincarnating Lotus Sword.

n“There is a spiritual sense in the sword, but its power is too overwhelming.”

n“This is a magical weapon! A third-class cultivator managed to destroy our rune just by controlling the sword!”

n“This sword had been in the Main Path Mausoleum for decades. It must’ve absorbed a whole lot of the mausoleum’s spiritual sense. This sword is much more powerful than the Blooming Lotus Sword! Be careful everyone!”

nThe five elders were on high alert.

n‘The reputation of a man depends on his own deeds.’

nAll of them also witnessed what happened in the Main Path Mausoleum. The Reincarnating Lotus Sword had absorbed a thousand years’ worth of reserve and almost turned into a magical creature!

nIn the roaring clouds in the night sky, Zhao Zhenshi and Huang Zhihe were in the middle of an intense battle. This was a fight between two ninth-class cultivators.

nIt was as if the world had fallen into a state of chaos.

nHowever, Zhao Zhenshi still controlled the Mountain Shield Forbidden Spell Rune. Huang Zhihe was overpowered by him the entire time.

nEven though the Hammer Blade Lord was ferocious, Huang Zhihe was no longer young.

nFrom the layers of clouds, Zhao Zhenshi’s expression darkened when he saw the Reincarnating Lotus Sword defeat the five elders that were sent to capture Fang Lang.

nWithin the sea of clouds, Huang Zhihe bellowed with laughter with his head held high. Countless blades gathered behind him and took the form of a giant hammer.

nHe was pleasantly surprised when Fang Lang managed to fend off the five elders unharmed.

nHuang Zhihe was a great blacksmith. He had an eye for these things. He knew that Fang Lang had not understood the sword intent of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword. That was the reason why he could wield the sword clumsily.

nFang Lang was unable to control the sword fully because he could not truly understand the depth of the sword intent as his cultivation was still too shallow.

n“Xuanyuan Taihua is brilliant. The material of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword is rather ordinary but after being nurtured in the Main Path Mausoleum after a thousand years, it was considered as one of the top ten swords in the Tang Dynasty! This is truly a magical weapon!”

nHuang Zhihe was delighted, but he was also in awe.

nHe was thoroughly impressed by Xuanyuan Taihua. Even though he was a great blacksmith, he did not have the audacity to nurture the sword with a thousand years worth of reserve from an ancient sect!

nOf course, there was a hint of worry deep inside Huang Zhihe’s eyes.

nThey should not linger around and fight. Instead, they should leave as soon as possible. However, it was easy for Huang Zhihe to leave by himself, but it would be tricky to bring along Fang Lang, Ni Wen and Zhao Wuji.

n“Fortunately Zhao Longshi isn’t here. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to escape. I shall try my best.”

nHuang Zhihe let out a sigh. His hair billowed in the air as his palms stirred in a circular motion once again. The next moment, countless blade energy gathered into a hammer that charged towards Zhao Zhenshi.

nIn the face of Huang Zhihe, Zhao Zhenshi dared not let his guard down. Huang Zhihe was a top-grade ninth-class cultivator. He could even match with their sect leader Zhao Longshi.

nZhao Zhenshi was slightly weaker than him. The reason he was able to hold him off was because of the forbidden spell rune.

nHe could only depend on the elders to deal with Fang Lang.

nZhao Zhenshi refused to believe that a mere third-class could escape from the blockade formed by all the strong cultivators in the Main Path Guild just with a sword.

nNo matter how strong the Reincarnating Lotus Sword, ultimately, it was just a sword!

n…

nThe Reincarnating Lotus Sword hovered around Fang Lang.

nHis white robe was like a shining star in the night sky. The five elders hovered in the air as they looked over Fang Lang.

nFang Lang turned around to look at Zhao Wuji.

n“Uncle Zhao, take Ni Wen with you,” Fang Lang said.

nZhao Wuji’s expression changed slightly. He wanted to stay and help but after considering his fifth-class cultivation, he knew that it was not enough to fight against the Main Path Guild.

nIn the carriage, Ni Wen was speechless.

nIf Zhao Wuji could not be of help, what could she do as a second-grade cultivator?

n“I’ll catch up with you guys with Old Huang,” Fang Lang continued.

nZhao Wuji nodded his head and reined in the horses. The wheels started rolling and sped off Mount Tongtian’s stone path.

nThe five elders did not chase after the coach.

nTheir goal was Fang Lang and the Reincarnating Sword that he was holding.

n“The sword is just an object. Capture Fang Lang and everything will be solved!” One of the elders yelled.

nAfter that, the five elders spaced out and tried to corner Fang Lang from all directions.

nThey were wary of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword, not Fang Lang.

nAfter all, Fang Lang was still rather weak.

nThe five elders lunged at Fang Lang with a high-speed spinning rune in front of their bodies.

nThe five of them left five different colored trails in the night sky!

nFang Lang stood with his head lowered. He retrieved all the spirit crystals from the System’s cultivation resources. His body was absorbing all the spiritual energy supplied by the crystals.

nThe 360 orifices in his body were glowing!

nHowever, at that moment, his body was like an endless black hole thatswallowedg all the spiritual energy.

nThis was because in the Main Path Mausoleum, the blade energy that Fang Lang absorbed from the 360 stone tablets was opening all of his orifices.

nFang Lang’s cultivation was growing significantly in the process of absorption of spiritual energy.

nFang Lang knew that this upgrade would not help much in his current situation, but any form of help would be beneficial.

nFang Lang’s sword mastery advanced so much that he reached the eighth-grade sword wave realm.

nHe was a step away from the ninth-grade sword wave.

nAt that moment, the five elders closed in on him together with all of the five runes as though they were trying to extrude the earth.

nThe Reincarnating Lotus Sword that was hovering quietly beside Fang Lang darted out.

nThe sword collided with one of the elder’s runes and instantly smashed it into pieces!

nHowever, in the next moment, the scene turned blurry as if they traveled back in time.

nThe Reincarnating Lotus Sword returned to its original position and charged towards another elder!

nThe five runes all shattered into pieces and the five elders had no choice but to retreat. They were dumbfounded.

n‘There’s something weird about this sword!’

n“A sword intent that involves the time realm?”

nOne of the elders noticed something and his face twitched as he commented in shock.

n“Taihua Blade Lord’s most terrifying attack was the Instant Lotus Blade and Instant Finger Flick, where thousands of eternal cycles were inflicted in an instant. These attacks seem to involve a sword intent in the time dimension. We’ve never thought that the Reincarnating Lotus Sword also harbors a sword intent of such!”

nThe few elders were troubled by the situation.

nWith the Reincarnating Lotus Sword protecting Fang Lang, it was impossible for them to reach him!

nThat sword was like a monstrous beast guarding Fang Lang.

nAbove the sea of clouds, Zhao Zhenshi glanced at the five elders and roared, “Useless!”

nAll five of the seven-class cultivators were defeated by a third-class cultivator.

nIf word got out, they would be the joke of the century!

nFang Lang opened his eyes slowly. He had exhausted all the spirit crystals in the System when he reached the eighth-grade sword wave realm. Unfortunately, it was not enough for Fang Lang to reach the ninth-level. If he did, he could activate the Grade-Rush Card to try to break through the fourth-class sword intent realm.

nIf he reached the fourth-class sword intent realm, Fang Lang’s half-baked Sword Nurturing Spell might work!

nHowever, Fang Lang was also troubled by the five elders.

nAfter all, the Reincarnating Lotus Sword was not under his control. The sword intent that he triggered had activated the sword’s automated host-protection ability.

nFurthermore, Fang Lang also predicted that the Reincarnating Lotus Sword protected him because the five elders’ cultivation was too strong. If they were Main Path Guild’s disciples in the fourth-class realm or five-class realm, it might not attack them.

n…

nThe sea of clouds billowed in the dark sky like a tidal bore.

nThe sea of clouds was split into half as if a white python was slithering through it.

nBlade energy circulated Chao Xiaojian’s body as if he was an undefeatable blade lord.

nHe soared forward and Mount Tongtian of the Main Path Guild entered his vision.

nThe moment Chao Xiaojian appeared, Zhao Zhenshi’s face dropped.

nHe raised his head and met eyes with Chao Xiaojian, who roared past thousands of miles on his sword!

nThis white-haired Chao Xiaojian had just eliminated the entire Donglu Sword League!

nEven the Main Path Guild was wary of him!

nChao Xiaojian and Huang Zhihe were the two greatest cultivators in sword mastery.

nIf he wanted to leave with Fang Lang, the Main Path Guild might not be able to stop him from leaving, especially in the absence of Zhao Longshi.

nChao Xiaojian hovered in the sky. He did not interfere with the fight between Zhao Zhenshi and Huang Zhihe.

nHe took a step forward and started plummeting like a meteor.

nHe traveled at an extreme speed.

nThe five elders who surrounded Fang Lang felt a chill run down their spine.

nThe next moment, Chao Xiaojian landed on his toes silently. A wave of energy spread from his body.

n“Stopping people from leaving because he removed a sword? Is this the principle of the Main Path Guild? I’ve mentioned that I will kill anyone who laid hands on Fang Lang!” Chao Xiaojian said coldly.

nHe slapped his palm onto the ground. Instantly, a surge of blade energy erupted from the ground and charged towards the five elders.

nBang!

nThe five elders fused their runes into one hurriedly to withstand the attack.

nHowever, a sword came crashing down and shattered the rune. The five elders were sent flying and vomited blood.

nChao Xiaojian was unbothered by the fact that he had defeated five elders from the Main Path Guild in one move as if this was a common event.

nHe glanced briefly at Zhao Zhenshi and Huang Zhihe, who were fighting in the air and calculated the possibility for Huang Zhihe to get himself out of the battle.

nThen, he turned his head to look at Fang Lang, who the Reincarnating Lotus Sword was protecting.

nThe Reincarnating Lotus Sword was floating quietly. Chao Xiaojian’s eyes wavered emotionally.

nThis was his senior’s sword. He could sense her breath inside the sword.

nAfter that, Chao Xiaojian leaped up without hesitation, tossed out a stream of blade energy to wrap Fang Lang with it and tried to leave the Main Path Guild with him.

nThe five injured elders did not dare to stop him.

nChao Xiaojian could kill them easily if he wanted.

nTherefore, they could only watch Chao Xiaojian leave together with Fang Lang and the Reincarnating Lotus Sword.

nHowever, the moment Chao Xiaojian hoisted Fang Lang off the ground, and the world fell silent.

nA long sigh echoed through the entire Main Path Guild.

nThen, a mighty energy shot out from the Main Path Mausoleum as if an ancient dragon with an indestructible pressure had awoken.

nChao Xiaojian and Huang Zhihe were stunned.

nThe transcendental presence of the Main Path Guild was still alive!

n
