Chapter 686: Final Chapter 168: Lu Xuan Stunned: Yang Xuan? Yang Ling'er?

The God-Burial Abyss has arrived.

Ji Fuyao curiously gazed upon this expanse of heaven and earth.

Here, it was as if heaven and earth had been split by a blade, forming an extraordinarily huge chasm, extremely irregular.

Ji Fuyao extended her divine sense; the aura here was like a chaotic mess, the power of the Great Dao everywhere in utter disorder, the lingering aura of the ancient heavenly war still present, extremely rich, everywhere were manifestations of the Dao's evolution.

On the ground lay many huge bones, clearly those of great demons.

There were also some broken spiritual weapons.

However, after erosion by endless ages, they had lost their power.

The ground was covered with huge pits and cracks; terrifying battles had taken place everywhere.

Ji Fuyao frowned slightly, "Here, my divine sense cannot reach far."

Lu Xuan chuckled, "Quickly break through to the Heavenly God Realm. Here, Heavenly God Realm cultivators are everywhere, and God Sovereign Realm cultivators are as numerous as dogs."

Ji Fuyao inclined her snow-white neck and nodded.

The next instant.

Lu Xuan suddenly frowned; he heard a summoning voice.

"Dao..." that ancient voice paused, "... Lord Lu, is that you?"

Lu Xuan asked, "Who are you?"

Boom!

An overwhelming terrifying power enveloped Lu Xuan, the power of spatial patterns.

Lu Xuan looked outward; Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and the others remained where they were.

Soon.

Lu Xuan had already descended upon a vast heaven and earth.

There were endless stars suspended in the heavens, shining brilliantly, with the Starry Sky Great Dao constantly rumbling.

But upon closer inspection, though the stars appeared vast and magnificent, their interiors were already decayed.

Golden on the outside, rotten within!

This is an independent space containing a star sea!

Lu Xuan slightly frowned; he sensed a mighty sword aura, as strong as a Nine-Star God Sovereign Realm cultivator.

"There are strong ones here," Lu Xuan murmured to himself.

Lu Xuan activated his Insight Eye and soon saw, above a distant star, a gigantic heavenly gate, magnificent yet utterly ruined; upon it were inscribed in ancient starry script four large characters: "Star Firmament Sword Sect!"

Shortly after, he saw a wisp of remnant soul drifting above a star, the remnant soul utterly defeated, utterly miserable.

Nine-Star God Sovereign Realm!

Lu Xuan suddenly arrived upon that star, frowned, and asked, "Who are you? Why did you summon me here? What is your purpose?"

The remnant soul bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan, its expression becoming extremely reverent, and excitedly said.

"Dao..."

"Dao..."

"Dao..."

Like a stutter.

Lu Xuan's face twitched, "What 'Dao'?"

The remnant soul said embarrassedly, "It seems the heavenly laws still loom over these heavens; Lord Lu, I cannot speak your identity, for rules suppress me—rules that transcend even the Sovereign Realm."

Lu Xuan slightly frowned, "Forget it."

The remnant soul introduced itself, "Lord Lu, I once heard you lecture on the Sword Dao; your Sword Dao varies myriad ways, yet all variations share the same essence. I grasped a part and comprehended the Starry Sky Sword Dao."

The voice fell!

The endless stars in this star sea suddenly burst forth with Divine Light.

All transformed into the likeness of divine swords.

Sword aura pierced the heavens!

Starry Sky Sword Dao!

Taking the starry sky as the sword, drawing power from the star sea!

Lu Xuan blinked, "Huh?"

Had he also lectured on it to others back then?

He rubbed his forehead; sadly, many memories were gone.

The River of Time he controlled was merely the River of Time of the fallen star sea.

Within the main current of the River of Time, he still could not enter.

Lu Xuan thought, back then he had been reborn as a Mr. and lectured beneath the phantom of the World Tree.

Perhaps in the truly ancient era, he lectured beneath the actual World Tree!

Lu Xuan asked, "What is your name?"

The remnant soul said, "Lord Lu, my name is Tie Xingqiong."

Lu Xuan nodded; his divine sense swept out and soon he saw, on an extremely distant star, a terrifying spiritual sword planted.

That spiritual sword was incredibly violent and bloody, with endless starlight pouring down like a heavenly river in turmoil.

The blade of the spiritual sword was covered with countless Starry Sky Great Dao markings.

A single strike of this sword could likely destroy countless stars!

"Fine sword!"

Lu Xuan looked at Tie Xingqiong, "What is the name of your sword?"

Tie Xiongqiong said, "Heaven's Punishment Sword!"

Lu Xuan blinked slightly.

Isn't the system mission just to help Green Hill obtain the Heaven's Punishment Sword and help Bai Li obtain the Mysterious Dark Pearl?

No, we hadn't even started wearing out our iron shoes searching, yet we got it without any effort!

How wonderful! How wonderful!

A moment of silence.

Lu Xuan said to Tie Xiongqiong, "I'll take this sword. I want to give it to my disciple. What do you want? You can exchange it."

Tie Xiongqiong was a bit dazed, seemingly unexpected, then said, "Honored Lord Lu, since you want it, you can just take it. My Starry Sky Sword Way and my Starry Sky Sword Sect were both realized because of Honored Lord Lu. I dare not ask for anything else."

Lu Xuan frowned slightly, "You seem to have some difficulty?"

Tie Xiongqiong said, "Honored Lord Lu, I've actually already found a successor. But it doesn't matter; fate has its own decree. In my view, this Heaven's Punishment Sword belongs to Honored Lord Lu's disciple."

He pointed to Green Hill, "Honored Lord Lu, is this your disciple?"

Lu Xuan nodded.

Tie Xiongqiong's eyes flashed with astonishment, "What a powerful sword way!"

In a plain white dress, she was incomparably beautiful, her grace unmatched.

Standing there, she was invincible!

She was stronger than his Starry Sky Sword Way!

Tie Xiongqiong exclaimed in shock, "No wonder he's Honored Lord Lu's disciple? Hmm... Honored Lord Lu actually took on a disciple? I recall that in the ancient era, Honored Lord Lu never accepted disciples."

Lu Xuan: "......"

Tie Xiongqiong said, "Honored Lord Lu's disciple is more suited to my sword way and my spirit sword than the person I chose."

Lu Xuan shook his head, "I don't need your sword way; I only need your spirit sword."

Tie Xiongqiong blinked slightly, "So that's how it is."

Lu Xuan asked curiously, "Where is the successor you chose?"

Tie Xiongqiong pointed outside this independent space to a swordsman in green robes in a secluded valley.

"His name is Yang Xuan, a disciple of the Azure Sword Sect in the Ancient Blaze Realm!"

Lu Xuan blinked.

Yang Xuan.

A familiar name.

He seemed to smell a familiar pattern?

"If living isn't for showing off, then..."

Lu Xuan looked at Tie Xiongqiong, "Why did you choose Yang Xuan?"

Tie Xiongqiong sighed, "Honored Lord Lu, choosing Yang Xuan is partly because my circumstances are the same as Ye Xuan's."

Lu Xuan wondered, "What circumstances?"

Tie Xiongqiong's eyes showed recollection, "Like Yang Xuan, I have a sister. In my life, I have never wronged anyone, nor the Azure Heaven Sword Sect, except for my sister Tie Xiaoqing."

Lu Xuan frowned, "Yang Xuan also has a sister?"

Tie Xiongqiong nodded and said, "Indeed, Honored Lord Lu, his sister is named Yang Ling'er."

Lu Xuan's face twitched.

Tie Xiongqiong continued, "It's a pity his sister suffers from a chilling ailment, unable to cultivate normally."

"......"
