Chapter 350: Immortal Fate Sword Cultivator

When Zhang Long first sat on the Wooden Boat, he was quite excited.

He even fantasized about whether he could soar ten thousand meters in the air, flying thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye while riding the clouds and mist.

Once he actually sat on the Wooden Boat.

Zhang Long realized that flying a Dharma Artifact also required filing a report.

Furthermore, after the speed increased even slightly, the human body would also feel discomfort.

Fortunately, Zhou Xuan was still very considerate of this future junior brother's feelings; noticing that Zhang Long's face had flushed red, he intentionally slowed down.

And he lowered the altitude to under two thousand meters.

This allowed them, with their eyesight, to clearly see the appearances and movements of the pedestrians below.

It also made Zhang Long feel a sense of wonder.

He felt he could never tire of watching the myriad states of the human world below.

Especially after hearing Zhou Xuan explain that their Wooden Boat had an Illusion Array.

Although it would be exposed on professional radar, ordinary people could not see it.

This immediately cast the last bit of awkwardness and shyness in Zhang Long's heart to the back of his mind.

Suddenly.

Zhang Long let out an "eh" and said to Zhou Xuan, who was sitting in front:

"Junior... Daoist! Look quickly, there's a fire over there!"

"I see it!"

Zhou Xuan responded, and the Wooden Boat Dharma Artifact slowed down as his heart willed it.

At this moment, below them was an Industrial Zone.

Right now, several rows of connected buildings in this area were burning with a raging fire.

Firefighters had already arrived with their equipment.

It was just different from before.

Facing the fire, besides the firefighters spraying water to put it out.

There were also several people wearing sci-fi-looking black armor moving as fast as ghosts back and forth from the fire scene, rescuing survivors hiding in various corners.

Every time these black-armored personnel carried a few people back to a safe location.

It would draw a round of cheers and praise from the people watching the commotion nearby.

Seeing this, Zhang Long felt a bit envious.

He loved the feeling of being praised by the crowd the most.

In his dreams, the clearest memories were always of him becoming a hero and saving the world.

"Daoist, those must be the special personnel from the Safety Executive Bureau, right?"

"That suit of armor is so cool!"

"Before I struck it rich, my biggest wish was to be successfully hired!"

"..."

"Hehe, that is only natural."

After hearing Zhang Long's envious tone, Zhou Xuan did not tell him that for an ordinary person to become a frontline employee of the Safety Executive Bureau, they needed at least an inferior Spirit Root.

They could rely on the resources provided by the Safety Executive Bureau to barely manage Qi Refining into the body.

If this Zhang Long hadn't experienced this recent incident, based on the talent he had previously tested, he likely wouldn't have passed the preliminary examination.

Zhou Xuan said indifferently:

"Although they are all just scraps, I hear they are produced by a few newly Entry-level Artifact Refiners."

"That suit of Black Light Armor can still be considered a type of Dharma Artifact."

"Coupled with the various advanced equipment matched for them by the Scientific Research Institute, once these people put them on, aside from not being able to use spells, they are not much worse than those disciples at the first or second level of Qi Refining."

"They should be able to handle this fire."

"However, since we are already here."

"Let's help out."

Zhou Xuan whispered, recalling the spells he had learned.

Although he did not follow the path of a spell cultivator.

These simple spells could still take effect within a few breaths by utilizing Dharma Power.

As Zhou Xuan waved his hand, he summoned a Wind Technique that blew downward.

While this gust of wind carried a bone-chilling cold.

A pattering Rain Technique also fell from the sky.

Although the rain was sparse.

Once it landed in the fire scene.

These mortal flames suddenly gave people the feeling that their momentum had withered away.

The firefighters were the first to notice something amiss.

Someone couldn't help but let out an "eh":

"Strange, why does this fire scene suddenly give me the illusion that it's losing its strength?"

"In many places, the fire just stops as soon as the water hits it!"

"Huh? Isn't that a good thing! I wish it could go this smoothly every time!"

The firefighter's whisper caught the attention of the black-armored men.

In fact, they also sensed the anomaly in the sky by relying on their perception, which exceeded that of mortals.

The Captain of the black-armored men raised his head, which was encased in a fully sealed helmet, after finishing his report.

He cupped his hands toward the sky in a gesture of gratitude.

It seemed he had already concluded that a transcendent being in the high altitude had helped them during this storm.

Zhou Xuan did not reveal himself; watching the flames at the fire site already extinguished, what remained was to tally the losses and treat the wounded.

He activated the Wooden Boat to carry Zhang Long and quietly left this airspace, leaving not a trace behind.

This left the black-armored Captain, who was cupping his hands, maintaining that respectful posture for nearly a minute before he released his hands with a hint of regret.

He had been hoping to use this to make contact with a transcendent and perhaps draw a little closer to them.

In the current Safety Executive Bureau, everyone knew just how much help having a transcendent friend could be.

New equipment, new cultivation techniques, new auxiliary Pills.

It might just be because a neighboring squad had a better relationship with a certain transcendent that they were prioritized by superiors for adjustments in importance, thereby obtaining these resources ahead of time.

Alas, Immortal Fate is hard to come by!

This black-armored Captain sighed, looked around, and feeling there was nothing left for them to do, used the communication channel to shout: "Withdraw!"

Immediately, this squad, which had been the most eye-catching at the scene, entered an aircraft and quickly vanished into the sky.

Nanhai, above an unnamed small island.

After Zhou Xuan arrived here with Zhang Long sitting on the Wooden Boat, he let the Wooden Boat descend slowly.

Zhang Long knew they had reached their destination.

He couldn't help but curiously size up this small island.

The island was very small, only about one mu in size.

A few small groves and a small hillock basically occupied its land area.

On the hillock stood a thatched cottage.

Outside the cottage, a male cultivator wearing a bamboo hat and a green Daoist robe was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on a Long Sword stuck in front of him.

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

"I have come to deliver the medicine."

Zhou Xuan put away the Wooden Boat and approached the sword-watching male cultivator with a smile.

The male cultivator's body moved slightly after detaching from a certain mysterious state.

He hurriedly stood up to welcome them with a smile.

Zhang Long looked at this male cultivator who shared his surname and only felt that the other person was incomparably sharp; just looking at him made one's eyes ache.

At the same time, the Secret Language explanation from Zhou Xuan reached Zhang Long's ears.

This person was the peerless good seedling discovered by the Abbot of the Cloud Coming Immortal Sect when he was presiding over the Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array.

According to the Abbot's account.

This Senior Brother Zhang Qiuzhen was an Innate Sharp Metal Sword Body, rarely seen even in the Cultivation World.

He was highly valued by the Immortal Sect.

He had now become the person in charge of the Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Arrays in the various regions surrounding Nanhai.

The relevant hundreds of Daoist temples and Temple buildings were all under his responsibility.

It was just that this Senior Brother Zhang Qiuzhen was worthy of having a Special Constitution.

His heart was set solely on the cultivation of the sword path.

When he was in the Immortal Sect's Dongtian, he was bitterly cultivating by watching the sword.

After coming out of the Dongtian, he was still bitterly cultivating by watching the sword.

However, Zhou Xuan understood.

If he could also feel his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds day and night.

He should be cultivating just as vigorously as this Senior Brother.

It had only been ten days since they last met.

Zhou Xuan could feel that Senior Brother Zhang's sharpness was even more acute.

Even though he had prepared in advance, he still felt the threat of the sharpness.

Zhang Qiuzhen also noticed the discomfort of Zhou Xuan and Zhang Long.

He could only smile bitterly at this:

"Recently, I have been contemplating the Evil-Slaying Sword bestowed by my master."

"The sword intent is difficult to fully restrain; I apologize to you both."

"Hmm, this..."

Zhang Qiudao looked at Zhang Long, his face showing curiosity.

One must know that Zhou Xuan knew he liked quiet, and usually did not bring people over to disturb him.

Zhou Xuan hurriedly sent a voice transmission to quickly explain Zhang Long's situation.

This also made Zhang Qiudao's eyes brighten, and he immediately swept his Divine Sense toward Zhang Long.

Unfortunately, even though Zhang Qiudao had received special attention from Su Ping due to his extraordinary talent.

During this period, not only had his main body birthed Divine Sense and reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He could also use the External Pill Method and the blessing technique of the True Martial Subduing Demon Emperor Heavenly Soldier Statue to master power at the Golden Core level.

And at critical moments, he could use the momentum of the Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array gathered at one point to strike out with the full-force sword of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Yet he was still unable to see any abnormality in Zhang Long.

However, he believed that Zhou Xuan would not lie.

He was inclined to believe this was because his own realm was not yet high enough.

Then, his gaze softened as he looked toward Zhang Long.

After all, this might be a junior brother from his own Immortal Sect.

Although he was single-mindedly focused on cultivation, that did not mean he was ignorant of everything else.

After accepting the Pill sent by Zhou Xuan.

Zhang Qiuzhen let Zhou Xuan and Zhang Long enter the thatched cottage together.

As soon as they entered the room.

Zhang Long couldn't help but curse inwardly.

He felt that in the small space of the thatched cottage, the very air seemed different.

It made him want to greedily breathe it in deeply, and he felt extremely refreshed all over.

His heart stirred, and he cautiously asked Zhou Xuan:

"Dao... Daoist, this is Spirit Qi, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan nodded and said:

"Senior Brother has Spirit Stones, and he also hired someone on this island to set up a Spirit Gathering Array."

"Only then could there be such an effect."

"But only when you go to the Immortal Sect Dongtian will you know what the true realm of an Immortal's treasured land is like."

"Alright, time is precious now; come and listen to Senior Brother expound on the Dao with me."

Zhou Xuan was the first to sit cross-legged.

Zhang Long followed closely behind.

Then, inside the thatched cottage, Zhang Qiuzhen began to recount the insights and experiences he had gained during this period.

From time to time, he would also answer the questions raised by Zhou Xuan.

Sitting cross-legged beside Zhou Xuan, Zhang Long felt that he should recognize every single word the two of them were saying.

But when combined, he felt as if he had become illiterate again.

However, the words of that Senior Brother Zhang seemed to have a magical power.

Zhang Long discovered that they seemed to be carved into his mind.

Allowing him to recall them at any time.

This made him secretly marvel, and he guessed that this might be the reason why Daoist Zhou Xuan brought him along to make up the numbers.

If this were outside, that would undoubtedly be an Immortal Fate!

It's just that he didn't know how strong Senior Brother Zhang really was; how much help could listening to his experiential talk be to his own future Immortal path?

Zhang Long listened for a full day.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that they emerged from the thatched cottage.

What was strange to Zhang Long was that he hadn't eaten for a whole day, yet he remained full of energy and vigor.

Just as Zhang Long was feeling happy, he suddenly saw Senior Brother Zhang's expression turn serious.

Afterwards, he looked toward the distant sea with a sharp, piercing gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Zhang Long asked Zhou Xuan out of curiosity.

Zhou Xuan was equally unaware and looked at Zhang Qiuzhen's back.

Then they heard Zhang Qiuzhen's explanation:

"It is nothing, just a small space-time rift appearing in the distant sea area."

"Rest assured, it is not a big problem."

After listening to the message Su Ping casually sent from the Moon Surface, Zhang Qiuzhen's expression also relaxed.

In Zhang Qiuzhen's view, the Immortal would not lie.

And if it were only the same intensity as the previous few times.

After activating the Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array, he should be able to handle it cleanly with one sword strike.

This was because Su Ping had used an Ordinary Abyss Challenge Scroll from his hand.

Although for the current Su Ping, the rewards of an Ordinary Abyss Challenge were no longer worth looking at.

But no matter how small a mosquito's meat is, it is still meat, isn't it?

And for Su Ping, the most critical point was.

For the intensity of an Ordinary Challenge, he no longer needed to take action personally.

Whether the location was placed at the Sakura Snow Mountain in Sakura Country.

Or placed in the sea within the coverage of the Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array.

He, Su Ping, could sit back and reap the rewards!

Since it was just a matter of saying a word, there was even less reason not to do it.

Furthermore, opening a space-time rift on Water Blue Star from time to time.

Could also raise the sense of crisis among the general public and slow down the rate at which the strong degenerate and rot.

"Senior Brother Zhang has flown up!"

Zhang Long saw Zhang Qiuzhen wave his right hand, and the Long Sword stuck in the ground flew into his hand.

Afterwards, Zhang Qiuzhen actually flew directly to an altitude of a thousand meters.

He casually waved the Long Sword.

Instantly, the surroundings of the island, which had been calm and tranquil.

Suddenly changed color as if a storm were about to arrive!

A sense of solemn majesty that enveloped the entire world made Zhang Long nervous, and he only dared to hide behind Zhou Xuan, quietly watching Senior Brother Zhang, who looked just like a Sword Immortal who had walked out of a novel in the sky.

"Sword Array, activate!"

The solemn and majestic voice of Zhang Qiuzhen came from between heaven and earth.

Accompanying his voice, the sky suddenly lit up.

Zhang Long looked carefully.

He was surprised to discover that what had lit up were Sword Shadows, each emitting a faint blue light!

Some of these Sword Shadows were as long as a hundred meters, and the short ones were also several tens of meters long.

Like stars in the sky, they appeared high above.

While Zhang Long was left stunned by the sight.

In the Offices of Extraordinary Affairs of the various major powers on Water Blue Star, they were also filled with people, watching this scene filmed from various angles.

"Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array."

"One of the great arrays left behind by the Immortal Sect that allows our Water Blue Star to locally resist Heavenly Demons and heretics..."

"Every time I see it, it still leaves me with a sense of shock that is hard to put into words."

"That Sword-Wielding Envoy... is that the Zhang Daozhang mentioned before?"

"I heard that he might be the one with the best talent on our Water Blue Star."

An expert looked at the astonishingly imposing Zhang Qiuzhen in the close-up shot and whispered:

"If he could come back and walk around more, that would be even better."

"We want that too, but this Zhang Daozhang would rather live on a small island in Dahai than come back."

"But we have also been making the necessary gestures of goodwill, and we still believe in his feelings for us."

As the experts were discussing.

In just a few dozen breaths.

Those blue Sword Shadows in the sky had new changes.

They all gathered around Zhang Qiuzhen, circling and rotating.

As Zhang Qiuzhen formed a sword finger and pointed in one direction.

The rotating blue Sword Shadows suddenly accelerated their rotation, and after condensing into a thousand-meter giant sword.

It tore through the air, sliced across the sea surface, and sped toward the sea a thousand miles away!
