Shadow Hack

Chapter 941: Igniting Yuanying

The four immortals stationed within the night pearl small world were rogue cultivators without any foundation. One of them, Yan Tian, had been killed by yin son of heaven, so the other three true immortals were afraid of him to some extent and acceded to his every plea.

As for what concerned the cultivator possessing sword immortal lineage, he belonged to a small faction, Profound Sword Pavilion, of the Alliance.

The three immortals were clear about who was important and who wasn’t between Yin Manor and Profound Sword Pavilion.

Jue Qingzi was a tribulation passing stage sword cultivator, so his speed was much faster than that of ordinary true immortals. Unless he did not have any energy to run, even true immortals could not catch him.

But after fleeing for a long time, his energy began to run out. Whatever was left could not allow him to continue fleeing at peak speed, and he started to slow down.

With a few bursts in-between, Jue Qingzi’s average speed remained fixed. The three true immortal burst forth at that moment, and the distance between the two parties began to shrink bit by bit because of the explosive increase in their speed.

“The youngster of Profound Sword Pavilion in the front, didn’t you hear us? We are the three managers of the Alliance, and by not stopping after seeing us, you are breaking the rules.”

“If you don’t halt, we will take action.”

When Jue Qingzi heard the words of the three immortals, he lowered his head and looked at Yan Wanqiu who was grabbing his right hand with reluctance in her eyes. The next instant, he pulled Yan Wanqiu up and let go of the sword. Without the support of the sword, his speed lowered, and the three immortals chasing at a fast speed caught up with them in a few breaths.

“Senior apprentice brother!”

Yan Wanqiu looked at the three true immortals as well as the disciples of Yin Manor, who were getting closer and closer with each passing instant, with a hint of panic on her face. The eyes of the twins whom she was tightly hugging in her bosom were brimming with tears.

“Junior apprentice sister, I can’t go on anymore. My strength is insufficient. If I continue to flee, we will all die. It would be better if I tried to keep them here while you used this cyan rainbow sword to find Li Yunmu. Ask him to help you all return to the Goumang Real World, where you’ll be safe in Profound Sword Pavilion. Quickly, go now and find Li Yunmu.”

Jue Qingzi stopped in midair and turned around. An astonishing sword intent exploded from his body, just like the splendor of a setting sun when releasing the final ray of light. It transformed into countless formless swords which covered the sky and shattered the clouds.

Jue Qingzi placed his hands on his chest to create a spell imprint, and the surface of the yuanying inside his body began to burn with heavenly flame. The surrounding energy of heaven and earth rushed into his meridians.

After a breath’s time, his tired body filled to the peak, and his cultivation began to climb slowly. He, who was originally at the late stage tribulation passing stage, reached the peak tribulation passing stage. Soon after, he also entered the mysterious false god realm.

No one could become an immortal without crossing a tribulation.

Goumang Real World had a relationship of love and hate with the nine tribulations. They loved that they could obtain the comprehension of laws of heaven and earth after crossing the tribulation and their cultivation would stabilize, but they hated the fact that the nine tribulations were very strong and not every cultivator could survive them. It was important to have a formidable power backing them since they needed a large amount of resources to pass the tribulations.

If a person was a rogue cultivator, they needed to run around the world to prepare the resources for transcending the tribulations.

In times past, there was a rogue cultivator who had entered a small world to evade the tribulations. The laws of the real world did not appear in a small world, so the nine tribulations did not descend. The rogue cultivator then continued to increase his cultivation until he reached the golden immortal realm.

But because that almighty hadn’t gone through the tribulations, he couldn’t comprehend the laws of grand dao. Due to that, he was much weaker than those who had gone through the tribulations to reach the same level. That rogue cultivator was unable to compare to some of the tyrannical true immortals.

Moreover golden immortal almighties who hadn’t gone through a tribulation had to face the heavenly thunder of the tribulation the moment they left the small world. The only outcome of that was death.

In time, another name appeared in the real world, and it was the fake immortal realm, which was meant for those who had hidden in small worlds and become immortals by avoiding the nine tribulations. Only rogue cultivators without any resources or foundation would do such a thing.

In their eyes, even if their strength was weak due to being a fake immortal and they could only stay in the small world, but when all was said and done, they were still alive and did not grow old.

However, each and every person who had even a little bit of support behind them would never attempt to become a false immortal.

When the three true immortals saw Jue Qingzi’s cultivation rise from half step to immortal realm, astonishment appeared on their faces. Although Profound Sword Pavilion was a small force in the Alliance, they possessed a deep background and once had a great principal golden immortal in their sect. Yet right then, their disciple had chosen to make a breakthrough in the small world and become a false immortal in order to protect his juniors.

How exactly had they offended yin son of heaven that the youth was so desperate?

A formidable energy spread out of Jue Qingzi’s body. His presence rose to that of the initial stage true immortal realm, and a sword domain appeared around his body. Countless small swords materialized in a fifty feet area around him, and cracks appeared in space.

Yan Wanqiu and the twins used the rainbow sword to fly southwest, so Jue Qingzi had no option, but to take out an iron sword which he had used when he was at the returning origin stage.

He made a slash in front of himself, and a wave of golden sword energy appeared in the sky out of nowhere. It rushed straight at the three immortals.

Whoosh.

The sword energy streaked past the sky while creating cracks and instantly arrived in front of the three true immortals. They remained calm and collected as they formed seals with their hands. Immortal energy bubbled forth and transformed into a multicolored beam that collided with the sword energy.

Three rays of immortal energy collided with the sword energy, and the two cancelled each other out.

That....

An astonished expression appeared on the face of the true immortal in the lead, and he fixed his gaze on Jue Qingzi.

“You are crazy!”

The other two true immortals pondered what had happened for a moment before realizing where the problem lay. They then looked at Jue Qingzi with a shocked expression.

The three of them had inferred a few things from the sword strike. They had thought that Jue Qingzi was walking the path of becoming a false immortal, but it was because they would have never expected that he would ignite his yuanyin and forcefully raise his strength.

The difference between the two options was that of heaven and earth.

After becoming a false immortal, the person would be trapped in the small world and possess inferior strength, but they could still live a long life. However, igniting one’s yuanying meant that they would burn their life essence to obtain formidable strength for a short time. They could gain advancement in cultivation without a limit until their yuanying burned completely.

Jue Qingzi’s presence continued to grow. From initial stage true immortal, it rose to mid-stage true immortal, and before the three true immortals and the disciples of Yin Manor, who had arrived just then, could react, it broke through to late stage true immortal realm.

Jue Qingzi’s strength continued to increase, and the domain surrounding his body materialized and grew into a sword domain. Within it, there were countless swords flying around, and each one of them possessed threads of immortal energy.

“So this is the strength of a true immortal. It’s really formidable.”

Jue Qingzi sensed the changes of his cultivation, but his heart remained tranquil. He was considered a sword genius who only appeared once in a thousand years by his master, and he had easily crossed eight tribulations and only needed to comprehend the laws of a grand dao before transcending the last tribulation to become a true immortal.

His future prospects had been boundless, but on that day, he was reduced to burning his life away.
