Chapter 968: Sword Illusion

After leaving Qingquan Mountain, Zhou Yiqiao immediately went to Biyao's residence to express his gratitude.

Although Bi Yao is a woman, her style of doing things is more straightforward and capable than most Qian Xiu.

"I already told you that's the compensation you deserve for being my sparring partner."

"If you want to thank me, just use all your strength next time we fight."

Bi Yao blinked her bright eyes and gave Zhou Yiqiao a mischievous smile, with the familiar provocation in her words.

Zhou Yiqiao burst into laughter when he heard this and quickly nodded in agreement.

He then said goodbye and left, returning to his residence.

But unfortunately, perhaps because things have been too smooth in recent days, he actually felt a sense of laziness in his heart.

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and started to sort out his next practice plan in the room.

"Although I am in Qinjian Villa, I cannot fall behind in my cultivation."

"If nothing else, at least we have to satisfy Senior Sister Bi Yao's need for sparring."

He was secretly planning his own training plan in his mind.

"Originally in the Netherworld Demon Realm, with the protection of the Netherworld Demon Sect, there was no need to practice the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method taught by Master."

"But times are different now. We are in an unknown environment, so this life-saving method must be put on the agenda."

“The second is daily practice.”

Zhou Yiqiao thought about it, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, as if looking for the best balance point.

"Except for the possible summons from Qinjian Villa at any time, there won't be much time left after I finish practicing the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique..."

He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"In that case, the most effective way is to improve your combat capability and comprehend the sword intent."

A gleam of inspiration flashed in Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, and he seemed to have found a solution.

Then he quickly took out the bone sword that the zombie senior had given him in the ghost market.

The long sword did not have a trace of spiritual power, but the sword body exuded an extremely sharp sword intent.

"Sword Intention of Rebirth, I hope you can help me to temporarily relieve the current predicament."

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath, ordered the Seven Swordsmen to protect him, then sat cross-legged, tightly grasped the bone sword in both hands, closed his eyes and concentrated.

A cool feeling came from the sword, flowing along his arm into his body, like a cool stream, cleansing his soul.

Zhou Yiqiao's consciousness gradually immersed in this coolness, as if he was on an endless ice field, with silence all around.

He felt the connection between himself and the sword becoming closer and closer, as if the two had become one.

In this ice field, he began to try to comprehend the "rebirth" sword intent contained in the white bone sword.

He imagined that the sword's power was like a biting cold wind, raging across the ice field, turning all obstacles in its path into nothingness.

Gradually, a picture seemed to appear in his consciousness.

In the picture, he is holding a long bone sword, his body movements are erratic, and his sword intent is unparalleled. Every time he swings the sword, an unstoppable force bursts out.

This feeling became more and more real, as if he had completely merged into this world of sword intent.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment. Zhou Yiqiao was completely immersed in the sword intent. He even forgot to breathe and everything around him.

In a trance, his vision suddenly changed.

The pitch-black ice fields all around disappeared, and in their place stood a huge city. A majestic and magnificent city gate stood in the distance, and defeated corpses guarded the huge city, looking majestic and solemn.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart was beating violently.

"Is this... the memory of Zombie Senior before he died?"

He was surprised to find that he seemed to be in the past memories of his zombie predecessor.

This huge city seemed to be the place where the zombie predecessor once lived, and those dead bodies seemed to be the enemies he had killed during his lifetime.

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued to look forward.

In the center of the huge city, there stood a tower that reached into the clouds. The tower was shining with dazzling light, and seemed to contain some powerful power.

It seemed that the remaining thoughts of the zombie predecessor had influenced Zhou Yiqiao. The moment he saw the tower, his body turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the tower.

He passed through one city gate after another, crossed one square after another, and finally arrived at the base of the tower.

This tower was much taller than he had imagined. There was mist shrouding the tower, as if it led to another world.

He took a deep breath, followed the guidance of Senior Zombie's thoughts, and stepped onto the stairs leading to the tower.

Step by step, Zhou Yiqiao's steps were firm and powerful. He seemed to be able to feel the deep power contained in each step, resonating with his body.

As he continued to climb, the surrounding scenery kept changing.

Sometimes it is a dense forest, sometimes it is a barren desert.

It was not until this time that Zhou Yiqiao discovered that this entire huge city was completely made up of the memories of the zombie predecessor during his lifetime, and each area represented a different scene he had experienced in his lifetime.

These scenes were reproduced in the tower, as if they were independent time and space, connected together by his thoughts, forming a path leading to the top of the tower.

Zhou Yiqiao continued to climb upwards, but his speed was not fast.

Because on each step, there is a gatekeeper monster that is extremely weak but looks extremely terrifying.

For the first one-third of the journey, Zhou Yiqiao didn't even need to take action. A single attack with his spiritual thoughts was enough to deal with the obstacles on the road.

In the next third, he began to use the "Rebirth" sword intent that appeared out of thin air in his mind. Every time he swung the sword, it was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and he easily defeated those monsters.

But when he reached the last one-third of the journey, Zhou Yiqiao found that he was facing unprecedented challenges.

The monsters guarding the gate became stronger and stronger, and some of them were even able to compete with him, forcing him to give it his all.

After several confrontations, Zhou Yiqiao was finally defeated by his opponent and was forced back to the edge of the tower, unable to move forward any further.

"This is not a solution! We must come up with a foolproof plan."

Zhou Yiqiao looked down at the magnificent giant city at his feet, which was a thousand feet away from him, with a frown on his face.

The cultivation level of Senior Zombie when he was alive was far superior to his own, otherwise he would never have been able to transcend the secular laws and embark on the path of cultivation again after turning into a zombie.

These monsters blocking the road are clearly transformed according to the strength of the zombie predecessor when he was alive. If you don't have strength comparable to that of the predecessor, it is impossible to break through all the way and reach the end.

"There must be another way, otherwise Senior Zombie would not have failed to remind me."

"After all, if I die in this illusion, the things that the senior has asked me to do will not be completed."
