Chapter 209 - Twenty-three Years Old, Heaven’s Wrath Sword
Chapter 209: Twenty-three Years Old, Heaven’s Wrath Sword
After the matter concerning Jiang Han, Zhou Xuanji and his companions flew southward.
According to Daoya Old Man, high mountains were mostly concentrated in the South. There were many naturally auspicious grounds.
Since ancient times, many hermit cultivators loved to hide in the South to cultivate.
The seven empires of the human race were centralized in the central and northern regions of the Northern Wilderness Region. The demons were gathered mostly in the South but they were not united, so they kept their distance from one another. As such, the South was considered a good place for cultivation.
Zhou Xuanji and his companions met with no obstacles along the way.
Time flew. Zhou Xuanji was already far from the Great Zhou Empire.
This day, Zhou Xuanji welcomed his twenty-third birthday.
“Analyzed that the Sword Owner has reached twenty-three years old. Gacha started!”
“Ding! Congratulations, the Sword Owner obtained [Amethyst] Heaven’s Wrath Sword, [Gold] Greed Sword, [Gold] Stoking Sword.”
Zhou Xuanji was leaning on Jiang Xue’s shoulder. He opened his eyes.
Three swords!
Not bad, there was at least an Amethyst legendary sword.
But it was a pity that he did not get an energy technique.
He felt pity. Ever since he fully mastered the Golden Body Incantation, his rate of cultivation did not increase again.
Although it was already very fast, who wouldn’t want it to be faster?
At this moment, information about the three swords appeared before his eyes.
Sword Name: Heaven’s Wrath Sword
Grade: Amethyst
Description: Contains the power of Heaven’s wrath. The more bad karma the enemy has, the more damage it does to the enemy.
…
Sword Name: Greedy Ghost Sword
Grade: Gold
Description: Forged with 10,000 greedy ghosts. It’s a ghost sword.
…
Sword Name: Stoking Sword
Grade: Gold
Description: The blades of the sword contains a fierce flame that can burn anything everything. It’s an extremely powerful fire-attribute, legendary sword.
…
Zhou Xuanji nodded slightly but did not take out the three swords; firstly, because he was not that curious, secondly, he was too lazy to move.
Jiang Xue’s body was really soft like a pillow.
“The scenery before us is beautiful. We can stop and take a short break. We cannot carry on our journey without resting after all.”
Daoya Old Man’s voice came from the front, and the others looked toward Zhou Xuanji.
The long journey was a little tough even for cultivators like them.
Zhou Xuanji replied lazily, “Okay.”
Jiang Xue jerked her shoulder and said, “Don’t rub your saliva on me.”
He hugged her tightly, “I just want to rub my saliva on you!”
“You want to die?”
“Why?”
“I will knock you down, you believe?”
“If I die from the fall, then I lose.”
The two began arguing, and everyone was used to this already.
Soon, they came under a waterfall. It was a misty lake and was surrounded by undulating mountains. Flowers bloomed brightly as they danced along with the melodious chirping of the birds. It was like a paradise in the human world.
After they landed, Chong Demon Monarch and the little black snake began to patrol the vicinity.
The others began their work as well.
Zhou Xuanji sat beside the lake. He flipped out the Tianxia Map in his palm.
Recently, he always felt an uncomfortable heat at the center of his palm, which was quite ticklish.
He probed into the Tianxia Map with his mind.
Immediately, his mind exploded, and he closed his eyes instinctively.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a seemingly borderless plain before him. The sky seemed so near that he could almost touch it.
“This place is…”
He was stunned and confused.
He tried to probe into the Tianxia Map with his mind before, but there was no response.
He looked around instinctively. The wind brushed against the vast grass plain, and no traces of any animals or humans were to be found.
In the whole vast world, there was only him.
Everywhere he looked, he could sense a massive Qi.
Zhou Xuanji frowned because he realized that he could not leave the world in the Tianxia Map.
What is happening?
* Doesn’t the Tianxia Map acknowledges its owner?*
At this moment, he suddenly felt everything before him turn dark, and he looked up instinctively.
A massive drawing of the mountains and rivers appeared in the sky.
The two ends of it marked the horizon, and he could not estimate how broad it was just by looking.
It was the Tianxia Map!
The sunlight passed through the Tianxia Map, which was the only thing that prevented the world from entering total darkness.
Zhou Xuanji looked up and saw realistic mountain ranges. There were many lakes, forests, and waterfalls.
He saw cities, border customs, and even battlefields.
Hold on!
The Tianxia Map seemed to have recorded everything that should exist in this world.
A powerful cultivator stood high up the mountain top and looked toward the sky, as though seeking the path of transforming into a celestial being.
Zhou Xuanji was lost in how vast and impressive everything was. It was as though he was bathed in memories and experiencing first-hand the odes of history.
He was not sure how long had passed since…
The Tianxia Map suddenly descended upon him, which frightened him and he closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he returned to reality and heard Beixiao Wangjian and the little black snake arguing.
The Tianxia Map in his palm became scaldingly hot, which made him frown.
A stream of memory was forced into his mind, which shook him, and he closed his eyes.
The red Qilin, which was taking a nap, opened its eyes, and jumped on the spot.
“Wooowooo…..”
It wailed with a deep voice, as though an enemy appeared.
The others did not notice its odd behavior. The little guy was vivacious after all and always provoked the little black snake, Ah Big, and Small Er.
It already stopped playing with its first playmate, the Three-eyed Drought Rodent.
A while later, Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes with tightly knit brows. “The World Buddha Art… Such a dominating energy technique!”
He finally understood why the possessor of the Tianxia Map possessed the world.
The first level, World Internalization, can absorb every kind of spirit energy!
The second level, World Reincarnation, reflects all incoming spirit energy back to the attacker during battle.
The Third level, World Overlord. The user can absorb the power of the heavens and the earth and be transformed into the World Overlord!
He only knew this much and had only received the first level.
Sword Spirit, can I cultivate it?
Zhou Xuanji asked in his mind. The World Buddha Art was dominating indeed, which moved his heart.
“The World Buddha Art is suitable for all kinds of cultivators, so the Sword Owner can cultivate it.”
Zhou XuanJi was satisfied with the Sword Spirit’s answer.
According to the memory that the Tianxia Map gave to him, every owner of the Tianxia Map had cultivated the World Buddha Art, and each attained a different level of progress.
Until now, only one of them reached the stage of World Overlord and united the world. He broke the boundaries, shredded the voids, and ascended.
However, Zhou Xuanji did not know why he left the Tianxia Map behind.
He began cultivating the first level, World Internalization, immediately.
* Booooom–*
The thunderclouds gathered. The ferocious wind swept across the ground and swayed the trees in the forest.
The color in the sky changed!
Not only near them, but the entire Northern Wilderness Region was such.
The mountains shook, and the earth quaked. Giant waves crashed against the seaside.
It seemed like Armageddon.
Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the others gathered around Zhou Xuanji and cast spells. A sphere of blue light was conjured to protect everyone.
Boooom!
A horrifying lightning strike that was dozens of meters wide flashed and struck onto a mountain top afar. The mountain crumbled at the impact straightaway and a dust storm formed over it. The view was awe-inspiring.
Everyone was in awe.
Daoya Old Man mumbled, “Such a drastic change in the sky; it’s likely an omen.”
He immediately began divining.
Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes and suspicion. Could it be because of World Buddha Art?
“Wooo…”
The red Qilin laid on the ground and wailed like a dog. It looked at Zhou Xuanji fearfully.
