Chapter 1737

Jian Tianye was in a great mood.

Having just devoured a disciple, his cultivation increased greatly.

He soon heard this good news again.

"The Wood Sword Heavenly Skill is indeed a great thing," Jian Tianye exclaimed.

If he continues devouring at this rate, breaking through to the Dao Fruit Realm is imminent.

Jian Tianye looked at the several elders of the Mission Hall and said, "Give me their detailed information."

A jade slip was thrown out.

Jian Tianye extended his divine sense into it and began to examine.

The elders said, "That plain-clothed woman is fine, but that white donkey is said to be extremely aggravating; even a Nine Star Dao Transformation Realm cultivator could escape from it."

Jian Tianye said confidently, "If someone can escape from others' hands, they cannot escape from mine."

From the intelligence, it appears that the plain-clothed woman, the bamboo-hat sword cultivator, and another sword cultivator with carefree sword intent all possess strong sword talent.

"If I can fuse their sword ways, my sword prowess will increase tremendously."

Jian Tianye set his mind and quickly left the main sect of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

"Should we capture the plain-clothed woman first, or the bamboo-hat sword cultivator?"

After thinking, he decided to look for the plain-clothed woman first.

After all, she was alone.

Based on the intelligence, Jian Tianye soon descended upon the Star Sea where Qingqiu is located.

A divine sense from a High Star Dao Transformation Realm cultivator was released directly, beginning to probe the starry sky.

"Hmph! Found it."

"It's merely a Dao Fusion Realm cultivator; before absolute strength, everything is just empty talk."

With a thought, Jian Tianye tore open the void, aiming directly at Qingqiu.

He did not conceal his identity.

He had no fear that Qingqiu would escape from his palm.

Boom!

The void tore apart, and Jian Tianye's figure turned into a stream of light.

At that moment, Qingqiu had just destroyed a garrison and was beginning to condense Reincarnation Dao Patterns.

Hiss!

The Reincarnation Dao Patterns intertwined like a vast net between heaven and earth, shimmering with divine light and glowing brightly.

Crack!

The void tore apart!

Clad in a long robe, Jian Tianye walked out of the void passage, his face bearing endless arrogance, his gaze lofty as he looked down.

"Qingqiu."

"I'll show you the way."

Although the voice was not loud, it spread throughout the entire starry sky.

Qingqiu's face showed no disturbance; seemingly unaware of Jian Tianye's presence, she continued to condense the Reincarnation Dao Patterns.

In the next instant.

The Reincarnation Dao Patterns finished condensing, and everything returned to calm.

Qingqiu calmly raised her head and looked at Jian Tianye.

Their eyes met.

Jian Tianye was somewhat stunned.

Having cultivated for many years, he had never seen such an exquisitely beautiful sword cultivator; she was perfect, like a sword that only a sword cultivator could appreciate and treasure as a precious spirit sword.

She was too beautiful.

Moreover, the sword intent emanating from the plain-clothed woman was extraordinarily heaven-defying, an invincible bearing.

Jian Tianye's eyes showed admiration, "Facing someone as strong as me in the Dao Transformation Realm, you remain so calm. Do you have a Dao protector behind you?"

"I have completely sealed this heaven and earth; you cannot escape in the slightest."

"Become my disciple, and I will keep you safe."

Qingqiu said, "Do you deserve it?"

Jian Tianye was stunned.

In an instant, Qingqiu drew her Dao Sword.

The seal on the spirit sword was completely lifted, and an incredibly icy cold light burst forth, surging through the void.

Beneath her jade feet, an Invincible Sword Domain unfolded instantly.

This sword shocked Jian Tianye.

Damn it!

A Dao Fusion Realm spirit sword, its grade actually surpasses his own!

"Very well. This sword shall be your initiation gift."

Qingqiu daring to draw her sword against him took him by surprise; she said, "You have already caught my attention. Becoming my disciple, you might gain something different."

Qingqiu was about to unleash a sword strike.

Suddenly, a clear and lovely woman's voice echoed from the void.

"You are already courting death!"

In the next instant, an incomparably beautiful illusion condensed in the void.

Dharma Aspect Projection!

A terrifying, unparalleled aura, like the vast sea.

The one who arrived was Empress Yao Xi herself, clad in a long robe, towering above, her illusory form shining crystal-clear, with a faint illusion of the Jade Pool appearing behind her.

With just a thought, a heaven-defying domain unfolded.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

In the span of a breath, the Sword Domain that Jian Tianye had manifested began to constantly collapse and shatter.

"Empress Yao Xi! How did you appear? Aren't you supposed to be on the border battlefield?"

Jian Tianye felt a shock.

I never expected Empress Yao Xi to secretly protect the plain-clothed woman.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

In the void, more and more water surged up, and a vast starry sky suddenly manifested a mighty expanse of the great sea, rolling torrents that rushed straight to wash over Jian Tianye.

Way of Water!

The water grew ever more mighty, as if pouring forth from the Jade Pool.

Endless!

Jian Tianye instantly felt a sense of crisis.

"Retreat!"

He immediately activated the Translocation Gu, preparing to make a violent retreat.

Empress Yao Xi is invincible!

Her true body had already broken through to the Dao Fruit Realm; although this is only a projection, it can likewise seize the heavenly might of the Jade Pool.

This is the terror of Empress Yao Xi.

"Boom!"

A water dragon, with ferocious horns and a tremendously huge body, bearing the might of the Jade Pool, roared toward Jian Tianye; its claws were as huge as mountain peaks, and its azure body coiled like a mountain range.

Immense force bore down!

"Pfft!" Jian Tianye directly spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

The water dragon came charging; although Jian Tianye had already fled far away, he was still shaken by the terrifying might and injured.

Directly suffered heavy injuries!

He spared no expense, self-detonating several Gu creatures, shattering the void, then directly activated the Translocation Gu and fled.

"Empress Yao Xi is too terrifying."

Just now, colliding with the water dragon, he felt as if the entire Jade Pool were pressing down on him!

Indeed worthy of Empress Yao Xi!

At that moment, Empress Yao Xi's projection turned toward Qing Qiu and asked softly, "Qing Qiu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Qing Qiu chuckled.

These days, she had faintly sensed a hidden power following her from behind.

It was not her master's aura.

Rather, her master had been secretly watching them; they would have no notice of it.

She guessed it might be Empress Yao Xi, or perhaps Elder Ye Shuang.

Indeed so.

"Thank you, Empress Yao Xi," Qing Qiu said.

Empress Yao Xi slightly inclined her snow-white neck, nodded gently, "All's well if you're fine; I merely happened to pass by and sensed this situation."

Qing Qiu did not expose it.

Empress Yao Xi's projection vanished in an instant; the mighty surge between heaven and earth disappeared as if evaporated in a moment.

Her true body, far away on the border battlefield, gave a light smile.

She did this, though she was unwilling to admit it inwardly, but it indeed related to what Yang Tianming had said.

First, she established a good relationship with the disciple of Venerable Lord Lu.

Perhaps she could also become a disciple?

Empress Yao Xi secretly thought, "However, Venerable Lord Lu's standard for accepting disciples is very high; I don't know if I have a chance."
