Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1124: Chapter 88: 3 Immortals Can’t Fight

In the Cultivation Realm, within the various great sects, Sect Guardian Immortals are almost akin to strategic nuclear weapons.

Generally, they don’t engage in battle, and if they do, they hold back. Even at full strength, they don’t fight to the death. This is because, although victories and defeats can be determined among immortals, killing one is extremely difficult.

If one bears a grudge against an immortal, yet can’t succeed in killing them, and the enemy goes into hiding, specifically ambushing the sect’s cultivators found alone outside… it would be incredibly troublesome.

Upon hearing the anger in Chi Song Immortal’s voice, everyone realized he would finally stop holding back and start taking matters seriously, and immediately bolstered their spirits to the utmost degree.

How long has it been since they last saw an immortal take action? This time, they resolved to observe intently!

Green vapor spewed from Chi Song Immortal’s mouth, instantly forming a small arrow, which then shot towards Chen Guanshui like lightning.

The moment the small arrow touched the surface of the Five-colored Divine Light, the divine light reacted immediately — clearly, this arrow was also within the Five Elements, with its green hue indicating Wood Element True Yuan. However, its deep verdant portion was incredibly profound, forcibly breaking through the divine light with sheer momentum, killing its way inside in an instant.

After that, the Five Elements Divine Light healed again, and Chen Guanshui continued to rise, while Chi Song Immortal made a surprised sound, frowning in doubt.

“Didn’t hit?” Long Eyebrow Immortal asked in disbelief, “Chi Song, is this the first time your Green Pine Spirit Divine Arrow has missed?”

“No.” Chi Song Immortal shook his head, “I didn’t miss; he must have used some method to avoid it.”

“There were spatial fluctuations,” Wan Xiang Immortal said, “It seems to be a kind of spatial-related Magical Treasure or Divine Skill.”

“Then let me give it a try.” Long Eyebrow Immortal laughed heartily, pressing two fingers between his brows.

A moment later, his two fingers left his forehead, clutching an intangible, invisible, blade-like gentle thing.

“That’s…” Elder Biyun exclaimed in shock, “Supreme Sword Intent!”

“Supreme Sword Intent?” An Zhisu was momentarily stunned, then realized.

There are many types of Sword Intent, for example, the Sword Intent containing enlightenment taught to An Zhisu by the black-clad elder on Heart Demon Island. Ordinary Sword Immortals store it in their Sea of Consciousness, gradually comprehending it, saving decades of arduous cultivation.

However, the Supreme Sword Intent wielded by Long Eyebrow Immortal now contained, instead of enlightenment, concentrated killing intent.

The sword is a killing instrument, hence among various Sword Intents, the most supreme is naturally the one imbued with killing aura. Although it has no physical form, is invisible and colorless, and cannot be intercepted or countered by most Magical Treasures, Flying Swords, or Daoist Magic, if it hits the body, it can directly act on the Divine Soul, inflicting severe damage. At worst, breaking the Dao, and at the worst, perishing on the spot, shattered into pieces.

Long Eyebrow Immortal executed a sword technique, and the Sword Intent immediately released from his hand, disappearing invisibly.

In the next second, Chen Guanshui’s momentum of ascension suddenly halted.

Was it effective? The crowd was immediately overjoyed.

Though they didn’t understand why, this attack targeting the Divine Soul clearly had a special effect on Chen Guanshui — considering that prior attacks with various Daoist Magic and Flying Swords had only touched his body at best, never interrupting his ascension!

“I see.” Wan Xiang Immortal suddenly understood, twirling his beard with a smile, “It seems this Heavenly Dao’s will has spent a lot of effort to thoroughly suppress Jingyun’s Divine Soul.”

Shi Liuli listened beside and instantly grasped the implied meaning behind the immortal’s words:

To put it bluntly, her husband’s current comatose state is inextricably linked to the will of the Heavenly Dao.

But as everyone attacks her husband’s Divine Soul, it’s like repeatedly pushing a sleeping person, while the Heavenly Dao’s intent, not desiring for her husband to awaken, must exert more power to continue suppressing his consciousness, hence being unable to maintain the ascension action.

However…

According to Shi Liuli’s understanding of the Heavenly Dao, once its weakness is discovered, it will undoubtedly make a heavy move to remedy that weakness.

Just like before when everyone forced it to consume True Yuan, thus provoking the Heavenly Dao’s counterattack. Now that they’ve discovered the Divine Soul’s aspect is a weakness, the will of the Heavenly Dao surely won’t stay passive and will attempt to retaliate…

As if to verify her judgment, the next moment, the Five Elements Divine Light surrounding Chen Guanshui suddenly dispersed like a rolling cloud, revealing his expressionless face.

Not planning to continue defending?

The elders of Penglai hadn’t yet reacted, but the Peak Masters of Shushan were already on high alert, activating all the colors of Flying Swords.

They were all extremely experienced in battle and naturally knew that once the other side abandoned defense, it meant they were going to attack with full force, risking everything for a comeback.

In the next second, Chen Guanshui’s figure indeed vanished from his original position and instantly reappeared in front of Long Eyebrow Immortal.

He truly temporarily abandoned continuing to ascend and instead used the Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step to leave his original position, boldly attacking Long Eyebrow Immortal.

The Tianyuan Yiqi Sword descended from the sky, slashing towards the celestial cover of Long Eyebrow, soon intercepted by the Dual Polarity Dust Sword flying horizontally.

At the moment of metallic collision, the Dual Polarity Dust Sword was already flung away, but stabilized rapidly in less than half a breath, while the Tianyuan Yiqi Sword veered off course, grazing past Long Eyebrow Immortal’s side at an angle.

Countless lines of Sword Qi emerged out of thin air like a cage, as the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Formation began to lock and slice against Chen Guanshui. Yet, the will of the Heavenly Dao felt no fear; he simply formed a sword technique with his left hand and held the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword with his right, soon exuding the same transparent substance from the sword’s body.

“Sword Intent?” Long Eyebrow Immortal widened his eyes.

Even for a Sword Immortal with extremely profound cultivation, to be able to extract a trace of Supreme Sword Intent and use it to attack the enemy was a rare feat.

How could this Qing Heng actually condense so much Supreme Sword Intent and even attach it to the sword’s body?

Of course, he didn’t know that this was the True Spirit Seal Sword Technique taught to Chen Guanshui by the Summoning Sword. He only saw the opponent’s Flying Sword suddenly split forward, easily tearing open the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Formation and slashing toward Long Eyebrow Immortal’s chest!

Long Eyebrow’s hand formed a series of sword techniques, and the Dual Polarity Dust Sword quickly turned back to intercept, blocking the slash while the sword body inevitably got flung again.

This sword was originally small yet of extremely high rank, stabilizing its flight path in less than a split second. But Chen Guanshui’s slash came even faster, reversing his hand to strike again without any awkwardness in the transition.

Long Eyebrow Immortal couldn’t even remember the last time he was body-slammed with such a “mortal general” style of attack, so he had to rely on his experience dealing with Body Refining Cultivators, swiftly executing a footwork movement underfoot, attempting to distance himself from Chen Guanshui and hastily recalling the Dual Polarity Dust Sword.

His footwork was also peculiar; with a few steps in the air, his entire body retreated like drifting smoke, swift and elusive. Yet, Chen Guanshui’s Cloud-Parting Eight Trigrams Step did not pause, shadowing him and closing the distance once more. The Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword slashed downward like lightning, sending the Dual Polarity Dust Sword attempting to block it flying away.

Long Eyebrow Immortal was about to retreat further when he suddenly felt his body being tugged by an external force, abruptly moved horizontally dozens of meters away. It was Wan Xiang Immortal who timely assisted him with the Sleeve Universe Technique.

Chi Song Immortal pointed his hand, and two Go stones flew out from his sleeve, one black and one white, flanking Chen Guanshui from both sides.

Chen Guanshui sheathed the Myriad Avatar Absolute Immortal Sword and clapped his hands forcefully, causing dazzling Thunder Light to emerge from his palms.

This was the Yu Chen Thunder, which specifically countered many Magical Treasures, even the chess stone treasures that Chi Song Immortal had painstakingly refined for ten thousand years couldn’t withstand it. Hence, he had no choice but to forcibly recall the stones and avoid the Thunder Light by retracting them to his sleeve.

The Flying Sword was bested and the Magical Treasure was countered, leaving the two immortals defeated and at a loss. Wan Xiang Immortal could only cast out array flags, attempting to set up a formation to trap Chen Guanshui.

Four array flags fell into position, and a massive formation instantly took shape, within it swirled with clouds and mist, deep and ethereal, clearly of extraordinary rank. But what lodged within Chen Guanshui’s body was the will of the Heavenly Dao, so how could he be trapped by such a formation?

He merely tossed out the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle, tore open a spatial rift, and easily escaped from the formation.

The three immortals exchanged glances for a moment, seeing the helpless look in each other’s eyes.

This person has infiltrated the three great Orthodox Sects for too long, his aces truly are too numerous and powerful. Whatever method you use, he seems to have corresponding countermeasures.

Moreover, he has already ascended, with one foot stepping into the Immortal Rank threshold, with no disadvantage in terms of cultivation realm, so how could they possibly defeat him?

“Fellow Immortals,” Shi Liuli reminded, “there’s no need to defeat my husband, just break the three flowers atop his head to sever the connection with the Heavenly Dao.”

“Yet this Jingyun is indeed not easy to deal with,” Wan Xiang Immortal sighed, “unless we go all out, we might not be able to restrain him.”

Chi Song and Long Eyebrow both looked at him in surprise, thinking that judging by the earlier exchanges, even if we go all out, the outcome is still unknown, right? Are you speaking as if you’re worried about injuring him and therefore were reluctant to use full strength, trying to save face for yourself!

However, having served as Sect Guardian Immortals themselves, along with the Nascent Souls accompanying them, they all nodded and said:

“Indeed, indeed. This Changgeng/Qing Heng was personally brought up by me, if he were so easily defeated, it would actually be strange.”

Wan Xiang Immortal chuckled, thinking how shamelessly you’re just giving yourself credit.

Was there any special guidance during his infiltration into your sect? Have some sense of self-awareness, won’t you?

Chi Song, don’t even mention it, you leave everything to Ziwei Master to handle. Long Eyebrow, I remember you deliberately making things difficult for him, right? How can you say such things without a change in your facial expression?

It was precisely me who not only let him take charge of maintaining the Sect Guardian Grand Formation, but also gave him the Heaven-Mending Stone and the Heaven-Refining Great Formation manuscripts, otherwise how would he have attained such high achievements in formations?

While the three immortals casually commented, some of the elders below, having more insight, noticed that even the Sect Guardian Immortals couldn’t handle Chen Guanshui. They couldn’t help but start murmuring internally.

If even the immortals can’t deal with him, then what can be done?

Fortunately, he can no longer ascend, so both sides can only keep dragging it out like this, yet it remains unknown if any turnaround will come.

Beneath the distant sea surface, a group of Demon Race cultivators were lurking on the seabed, watching the three immortals battle against the will of the Heavenly Dao.

“Father, Father!” Long Hu, watching eagerly on the side, couldn’t help but tug at Ying Long’s sleeve, “Can Long Long still hold on? Should we go help him?”

After Chen Guanshui unraveled his protective Five Elements Divine Light, without the illusion of Kunlun Mirror, Little Fox naturally recognized him as her long-yearned-for Long Long. At this moment, she wished she could run to him and throw herself into his arms, but she was also worried that he would be injured under the joint attack from all sides, leaving her immensely anxious.

“Ahem, don’t worry. From the looks of it, for now, he hasn’t fallen behind and can still hold on,” Ying Long comforted aloud, though his heart was filled with indescribable shock.

This son-in-law… what kind of mysterious creature is he?

Flying Sword close combat can’t win, Magical Treasures are restrained by that strange Thunder Light, and as for Daoist Magic and Divine Skills, just using the Five Elements Divine Light to shelter around himself seems to make him impervious to all techniques, like a hedgehog with no openings at all!
