Chapter 614: Two Skulls

After recognizing Sanfeng, Ji Tianrui stopped attacking. The Tai Chi force that was constantly rotating was so pure and vast that it made her feel cold. Any attack in that direction would be rolled into powder and then reflected back at a speed invisible to the naked eye, piercing everything in its path.

This was Sanfeng's Xuanlan miracle.

【Two Rituals】.

The most powerful miracle from ancient times to the present, a barrier that human power could absolutely not break, a circle that could resolve all moves, a pearl standing at the peak of martial arts.

Ji Tianrui watched for a long time and was silent for a long time.

Releasing Sanfeng was one of the purposes of her coming to Ise Grand Shrine. Now that she saw Sanfeng with her own eyes, she didn't feel any joy.

Because she noticed one thing.

That circle was not perfect.

It lacked divine intent, and there was not even true energy. Although the force was so vast and pure that it made her feel cold, it was only force... no Jizhao illusion, no True Constancy form, not even a trace of true energy could be seen.

Ji Tianrui stood silently for a long time, and finally sighed gently, cupped her hands, bowed slightly, and performed a salute to the figure in front.

But she didn't speak.

Because she knew that no matter what she said, this martial arts ancestor would not hear it again, nor would he give a response again.

In the previous few years, Ji Tianrui had already filled in most of the truth about the Shinto sect. The only missing part was the period after Sanfeng crossed the sea.

Now, she finally filled in this truth.

Two hundred years ago, Sanfeng crossed the sea, broke through the Ise Grand Shrine, and fought his way to the front of Monk Zhangren.

The two had a great battle.

No winner.

The gap in realm made Sanfeng unable to defeat Monk Zhangren; but Monk Zhangren could not break Sanfeng's 【Two Rituals】 either.

But Sanfeng knew that Monk Zhangren must not be let go.

Achieving a realm above Heaven-Man requires influencing the world's situation. Monk Zhangren had managed the Shinto sect for a thousand years and was likely not far from taking the final step.

If Sanfeng destroyed the Shinto sect, Monk Zhangren would return to the Central Plains and repeat the Shinto sect's affairs in the Central Plains; but if he didn't move the Shinto sect, Monk Zhangren might soon achieve a realm above Heaven-Man.

Even in the most ideal situation, he destroyed the Shinto sect and, after returning to the Central Plains, crushed all of Monk Zhangren's plans... but there was one problem he couldn't solve.

Lifespan.

At the time of crossing the sea, Sanfeng had already completed the Jiazi Demon-Sweeping, was over a hundred years old, and his life was coming to an end.

The Jianwen Emperor's cultivation method was given by Monk Zhangren. He must also have borrowed the method of extending life through Heaven-Man nature, and borrowed it to live from the Warring States period to the present... and Sanfeng would never borrow crooked ways to extend his life. When he died, Monk Zhangren would come out and continue his plan.

Of course, Sanfeng had another choice.

Stir up the wind and clouds, and achieve a realm above Heaven-Man.

But Sanfeng was too powerful, and his foundation was too deep, which meant that to achieve a realm above Heaven-Man, he would have to turn the world upside down.

If this matter was destined not to be ended in his hands.

At least let Monk Zhangren's plan stagnate.

At least fight for time for future generations to grow up.

No one knew how long it took Sanfeng to make this decision. Maybe it took a long time, maybe it was just a thought.

But eventually, he made the choice.

Abandon True Constancy.

Abandon Jizhao.

Abandon Sumeru.

Abandon Vajra. ===== CHAPTER 615 =====
