The Prince Can Do Divination

Chapter 475: Chapter 285: Yun Qinghe of the Celestial Master’s Mansion Comes to Great Yan with the Taoist Celestial Masters

...

As Zhenyuanzi, Bright Moon Immortal, and Celestial Lady Ziwei argued, there were actually many other beings who had yet to speak, observing everything from the shadows.

Among them was an enormous flying ship. In its cabin sat a handsome man with a graceful bearing. His hair was impeccably styled in a topknot crown, he wore a spotless white robe, and his brow exuded a sharp intensity.

It was worth noting that he was flanked by six fair-skinned, beautiful female Sword Attendants, each with a powerful aura that could not be underestimated.

They behaved like servants, bowing and scraping, each holding an ancient sword as they stood obediently by the handsome man’s side.

To call them Sword Attendants was a pleasantry; generally speaking, they were nothing more than slaves.

They lived for their Sword Master and would die for their Sword Master. They could be seen as Tripod Furnaces for Sword Cultivators.

However, the Sword Dao influences of the Central Plains World did not oppose this practice of raising Sword Attendants; it was considered a Sword Cultivator’s personal freedom.

Looking at all the Sword Cultivators out there, none had Sword Attendants who could compare to those of the handsome man before them.

Any single one of his Sword Attendants was a Great Cultivator capable of annihilating a small kingdom with her sword.

"My lord, Luo Lingxiao won’t lose to Lu Mingyuan, will he?" one of the petite and lovely Sword Attendants asked cautiously, looking down at the cultivators below.

The man before her was her master.

The current Sword Immortal of the Wanluo Sword Sect.

"If he didn’t have the Jade Chilong, it’s a real possibility."

The handsome man’s expression was calm and composed, as if nothing could pique his interest.

His lips parted slightly as he sent a telepathic message, "Unleash the true power of the Dao Artifact. Otherwise, you really will lose."

The message traveled through ten thousand meters of open sky, entering Luo Lingxiao’s ears.

"But, Martial Uncle... I can’t control this power yet."

Luo Lingxiao gripped the Jade Chilong, his eyes filled with unwillingness, but he was out of options.

On his own, it was already impossible for him to defeat Lu Mingyuan.

The one who had just spoken was the former Sect Leader’s junior martial brother, Liu Tiandu, known as the Wanluo Sword Immortal. Many also called him Liu Jianxian.

Wanliu Manor, Sword Immortal Liu Tiandu.

Just those four words were enough to frighten away an army of a million.

"We can discuss the gains and losses of this battle in detail when we return to Wanliu Mountain."

Hearing the telepathic message again, Luo Lingxiao dared not delay any longer and risk losing the opportunity.

He took a deep breath, his gaze profound as he looked toward Lu Mingyuan’s position not far away.

"Lu Mingyuan, today I’ll let you see the true power of an Ancient Relic Treasure!"

Lu Mingyuan, whose attention was fully focused on the sky, suddenly laughed upon hearing this, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Oh, is that so? Relying on external items isn’t a good habit. As you said, the Great Dao allows for only advance and no retreat. You certainly have courage, but how far can you really go by depending on external objects?"

Those few words ignited a flicker of anger in Luo Lingxiao’s heart.

Luo Lingxiao shook his head, casting aside his distracting thoughts, and snorted coldly.

"Enough nonsense!"

"Let’s see which is superior—your saber’s speed or my sword’s sharpness!"

With that said, he sent out his flying sword, the Jade Chilong. It shot forth, transforming into a long rainbow of light.

A towering phantom of a Sword Immortal took shape, bearing down on the Martial Dao Body that Lu Mingyuan had condensed.

The phantom of the male Sword Immortal was on par with the Martial Dao Body, perhaps even suppressing it by a slight margin.

At the same time, countless sword phantoms appeared in the sky above the valley, arrayed with the force of a landslide or a tsunami.

In the blink of an eye, a vast Sword Array materialized.

All the top-tier experts present held their breath, their eyes glued to the battlefield.

They were personally witnessing a clash between two peerless prodigies of their generation.

"A prodigy like Luo Lingxiao is a rarity, one in a thousand years. His Sword Technique was taught by the Sect Leader Wanluo himself, and he also has many inheritances from his martial uncle, that famous Sword Immortal. Seeing him today, his reputation is truly well-deserved. Luo Lingxiao’s Sword Dao has already reached the pinnacle, and when paired with such a Treasure Sword, its power is even more apparent."

"Lu Mingyuan’s Saber Technique is not weak either. His master was the Sword Venerable, who once stepped into the Martial Saint Realm. In the past three hundred years, only that Sword Venerable has ever touched the edge of the Martial Saint Realm."

"In the end, Luo Lingxiao is still a realm below Lu Mingyuan. After so many battles, Lu Mingyuan is already invincible in his own realm. For Luo Lingxiao to dare challenge him is just asking for humiliation."

"In a way, this is also a duel between the successors of the Sword Venerable and the Sword Immortal. It’s quite a spectacle!"

"The Jade Chilong was the life-bound sword of the Wanluo Sword Sect’s founding ancestor. After being refined by several generations of Sect Leaders, its power is already comparable to an Immortal Artifact. It’s hard to say... hard to say."

...

The two had yet to make their moves, but the cultivators from the major powers were already arguing amongst themselves.

Almost at the same instant, the space around Lu Mingyuan became illusory; he now found himself inside a new Sword Array.

The surrounding space filled with dense marks of Sword Qi.

In his eyes, the flow of time began to speed up and slow down erratically.

Lu Mingyuan never underestimated his opponents. Luo Lingxiao was not his match, but the flying sword in his hand, which was comparable to an Immortal Artifact, could not be taken lightly.

’To defeat him, I must seize the initiative.’

’I can’t let the Sword Array become fully operational.’

SLASH!

As this thought crossed his mind, Lu Mingyuan swung Yang Su.

Before the saber arrived, a cross-shaped Blade Qi shot out, surrounding Luo Lingxiao in an attempt to block him from entering the Sword Array’s Hidden Door.

SWISH!

Luo Lingxiao’s sword strike was instantly blocked by Lu Mingyuan.

The webbing between his thumb and forefinger trembled from the heavy, powerful force.

Lu Mingyuan’s strength far exceeded Luo Lingxiao’s expectations. Even inside the intricate spatial Sword Array, he was no match for Lu Mingyuan.

Therefore, after his sword strike failed, Luo Lingxiao immediately retreated deeper into the Sword Array.

Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Six Kingdoms had all withdrawn.

Wuxun, Li Muwan, and the others fell back to recuperate and conserve their strength.

This scene made the Champion Marquis, Sui Yuqing, Taiwei True Monarch, and the others watch with their hearts in their throats.
