#510 - I want you to atone with your blood.
Deep within the Immortal Execution Sword Sect, there were many bronze chambers, specifically used for secluded cultivation.
The chambers appeared small, seemingly only able to accommodate a few people, but upon entering, one would discover that the interior contained spatial power, making it extremely spacious. The surrounding bronze walls were covered in sword dao runes, permeated with profound and unpredictable sword intent.
In the center of the room was a jade futon, and nothing else.
Jun Wuxie stepped forward and sat cross-legged on the jade futon. The moment he did, the surrounding chamber walls vanished, replaced by an endless void.
Numerous sword patterns appeared in the void, and as the sword intent surged, it evolved into an overbearing and unparalleled sword dao, capable of executing immortals and slaying gods.
"This is truly a great place to comprehend the sword dao! However, these sword daos are too profound. If one's realm is insufficient and becomes obsessed with them, it might be counterproductive. Not only will sword dao comprehension be difficult to improve, but one might even fall into the realm of a sword demon!"
He only glanced at them a few times before immediately withdrawing his gaze, closing his eyes, and completely discarding the images of the sword dao's evolution.
He wasn't worried about Yan Qingcheng and the others.
Now that they were cultivating the Immortal Execution Sword Art, they already had some understanding of the sword dao and should be able to see that these sword patterns should not be observed for too long or forcibly comprehended.
At that moment, two drops of Saint-level blood essence dispersed within his body. The powerful source impacted his limbs and bones, causing a burning sensation throughout his body.
That was the source of the Phoenix bloodline, with extremely high temperature!
However, he felt alright and didn't experience any problems. His powerful physique could completely withstand it.
"The Phoenix's crimson flames within these blood essence should have been erased by the founder..."
Jun Wuxie thought to himself, but what about Yan Qingcheng and the others?
His physical body was extremely strong, so naturally there wouldn't be any problems, but Yan Qingcheng and the others were probably going to suffer a bit.
However, they should suppress the blood essence and slowly release the Phoenix source. Although it would be very painful, they should be able to withstand it.
If it exceeded their limit, the founder wouldn't directly inject the blood essence into their bodies.
Having figured this out, Jun Wuxie was completely relieved and wholeheartedly devoted himself to cultivation.
However, he didn't put all his mind into guiding the blood essence to strengthen his talent growth. He only separated a wisp of his mind to guide it slightly, letting it flow freely within his body. With his powerful physique, he wasn't worried about any problems.
He focused more of his attention on the sword imprint that the founder had given him.
Just right, the Phoenix bloodline source strengthened his talent. He could use this time to comprehend the Immortal Execution Sword Intent and cultivate this sword art.
The sword art within the sword imprint appeared in his mind, and the sword dao comprehension, experience, and insights slowly released.
He immediately felt the majestic and fierce sword intent, overbearing and unparalleled, with peerless killing power!
In his mind, scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared.
It was a sword that killed until immortals and Buddhas fell from the sky, corpses piled up like mountains, and fresh blood gathered into seas, like a purgatory of heavens.
However, this scene and this sword intent didn't seize one's mind. It only strengthened the cultivator's killing will and sword dao heart!
"What a powerful sword art! This sword dao is definitely not weaker than the Mortal World Sword Art I cultivate!"
He was very shocked. The Mortal World Sword Art was the method cultivated by the Xuanyuan Emperor.
Moreover, it could be included in Ye Qingxue's collection, which showed that even among the Emperor-level techniques, it had its outstanding points!
Who exactly is the founder?
How could the sword art he cultivates be so powerful?
......
In front of the Immortal Execution Hall.
The two female Saintesses of Ice Cloud Tower looked restrained, and facing Heavenly Sword One and the Phoenix Empress, they felt a suffocating sense of breathlessness.
"You are very nervous, and your hearts are very chaotic."
The Phoenix Empress looked at them, and with just one glance, she saw through everything they were thinking.
She sighed slightly: "The wrong path. In this world with the suppression of order, you can still reach the top, but when you step into a new world, all the drawbacks will be revealed. He can help you, but I'm afraid you will pay a great price."
The two female Saintesses were immediately stunned.
If someone else said this, they would definitely sneer at it, but the person in front of them was a mysterious powerhouse from the God Phoenix Mountain in the Life Forbidden Zone!
"Junior is ignorant, please give us guidance, senior!"
They immediately stepped forward, folded their hands, and bowed.
"The path of cultivation, following one's heart is the correct path, and only then can one better improve oneself. If only cultivation is discussed, regardless of good or evil, it is all in its path. Cultivators should always clearly see their true selves, reflect on themselves, without being biased, in order to forge an indestructible dao heart, while a deliberately disguised dao will inevitably be difficult to travel far."
The two female Saintesses pondered the Phoenix Empress's words, understanding some but not understanding others, and said: "Please guide us, senior, how can we truly cultivate an unbreakable ice heart!"
"Is your so-called ice heart to discard some of the emotions that humans are born with? I have already said it very clearly, know yourself, see your true self. What you see is not the real you, but a false self wearing a mask. In the path of cultivation, no matter which path you choose, you should do your best. The people of the world should also create laws in this way. Your laws are wrong, causing your path to deviate from the normal trajectory."
"Junior understands, but there is nothing wrong with our laws. Our Ice Cloud Tower has been working hard for generations to do our best and cultivate the ice heart. Everyone is committed to discarding those emotions that should not exist cleanly..."
The Phoenix Empress shook her head and said: "It seems that you are deeply陷身其中, and still don't understand. If you want to discard, you must do your best, discarding the seven emotions and six desires, all human emotions, including your teachers and fellow disciples, are all strangers, with absolutely no emotion, and there is only the Dao in your heart, and nothing else."
The two were stunned and said: "But, in that case, is that still a human being?"
"Yes, whether it is a human or other races, there are emotions if there are thoughts, so you have been struggling in self-contradiction without even realizing it. I have said everything, I can only tell you where the mistake lies. As for whether you will make changes in the future and embark on the correct path, it depends on how things develop next."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Heavenly Sword One.
"Let him go, let him solve it himself, perhaps he can really pull them back to the right path."
Heavenly Sword One's voice was flat.
Existences like them had long seen through what the two female Saintesses were thinking.
Knowing the entanglement between Jun Wuxie and Ice Cloud Tower was also the reason why the Phoenix Empress would say so much to the two of them.
Otherwise, with her status, there was no need to waste words.
The two female Saintesses looked at them somewhat confused, not knowing what Heavenly Sword One meant.
They thought for a moment, but were still at a loss. Just as they were about to ask again, they found that the two people in front of them had already left, taking the little girl named Chan'er and disappearing at the end of their vision.
"Is there really a flaw in our Dao?"
"I...I don't know..."
They were now confused. If their Dao was really as impeccable as they thought, why did the Tower Master become pregnant with Jun Wuxie's child after only going to the Burial Corpse Land once, and even develop feelings for him?
They even discovered that after the Holy Maiden returned from the Xuanyuan Secret Realm, she seemed to have become different from before. She would always be in a daze from time to time, and there was a kind of emotion and color in her clear eyes that she had never had before.
......
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
In a secret room deep within the Immortal Execution Sword Sect.
Every inch of Jun Wuxie's skin radiated a glazed golden light.
His aura was several times stronger than before!
His realm had not been improved, but his physical strength and blood purity had been greatly improved!
Sword energy shuttled through his body surface, making the sound of sword cries.
His comprehension of the Immortal Execution Sword Dao, due to the sword imprint bestowed by the founder, coupled with his own deep understanding of the sword dao and the art of war.
In just three days, the Immortal Execution Sword Dao even surpassed the Mortal World Sword Dao!
Comprehending the Immortal Execution Sword Intent to such a realm, he increasingly understood the horror of this sword art, which was stronger than he imagined!
"The Phoenix blood essence has been completely absorbed and refined, and the comprehension of the Immortal Execution Sword Intent has also temporarily reached a bottleneck. It's time to leave seclusion..."
He murmured to himself, slowly opened his eyes, and a sword energy like a flying immortal flashed in his pupils.
"This time, the founder has given us a great opportunity. My talent growth intensity has actually been promoted to the peak of the legendary third level in one fell swoop! The bloodline source of the God Phoenix Clan's side branch actually has such an effect, which is really shocking!"
He got up, and the moment he left the futon, the vast void disappeared, and the surrounding bronze walls appeared in his sight.
What he didn't know was that the bloodline of the God Phoenix Clan's side branch was not as simple as he imagined. Although the bloodline was impure and flawed, it contained strands of the source of the God Phoenix Ancestral Blood.
Those ancestral blood sources made it possible for each side branch of the God Phoenix Clan to suddenly have a pure-blooded person at some point.
It was just that it was very difficult to stimulate the source of the ancestral blood and make the bloodline return to its ancestors.
Jun Wuxie left the secret room and immediately dispersed his divine sense to find the figures of the two female Saintesses, and found them in the small courtyard he had built.
He quickly appeared in the small courtyard, somewhat surprised that these two had come here.
"Sect Master Jun, you've left seclusion?"
They were also a little surprised. It had only been three days, such a short time, and he had absorbed and integrated the blood essence stripped from the body of the powerhouse in the forbidden area?
His realm seemed to have not changed, but his aura was obviously much stronger than three days ago, and the whole person was like a peerless treasure sword that had restrained its edge!
The hidden edge made them feel frightened.
"You two have been waiting for a long time." Jun Wuxie nodded and said in a deep voice: "I'll just say it straight, tell me, did something happen to Xuelan?"
"Yes."
They nodded.
"What happened?"
Although Jun Wuxie was mentally prepared, he still had some difficulty controlling his emotions.
"Your matter has been discovered by our guardian! The Tower Master is threatening to die to protect your child..."
"What did you say?"
A buzzing sound filled Jun Wu Xie's mind, his body swaying violently as he trembled, his voice cracking as he spoke, "My child? Xue Lan is pregnant? She's carrying my child?!"
The two women nodded, their expressions pained.
"How is she now? What have your guardians done to her?!"
Jun Wu Xie's body trembled uncontrollably. He knew the Ice Cloud Tower's strict rules; even associating with a man was severely punished, let alone bearing a child!
"The guardians forced her to get rid of the child, but the Tower Master refused and was punished by being imprisoned in the Wind Disaster Cave, enduring bone-splitting pain every day. To protect the child, she concentrated all her true energy in her abdomen, severely injuring herself in the process. Now, she is on the verge of death…"
Jun Wu Xie nearly exploded with rage. His voice was as cold as ice, and a hint of Asura red appeared in his eyes. "If anything happens to Xue Lan or my child, I will make the Ice Cloud Tower run red with blood, and erase you from this world forever!!"
"Sect Leader Jun, calm down, please don't be rash…"
The two women trembled, frightened by Jun Wu Xie's intense reaction. They were about to try and appease him, but they discovered that the person before them had already vanished into the horizon, leaving only a violent and cold voice echoing in the air: "For tormenting her like this, I will make you atone with blood!!"
"You… why did you tell him directly? He's too terrifying like this. This matter will definitely not end well!"
"I… how would I know that his feelings for the Tower Master were so deep…"
"Quick, follow him! No matter what, we must quell his anger. We can't let him go to our Ice Cloud Tower like this!"
The two women's faces were pale as they chased after Jun Wu Xie like streaks of light!
