The Emei Golden Summit, Sky’s End Plaza.

All Shushan disciples looked up at the sky, their expressions a mix of shock, panic, and despair.

Amidst the somber clouds in the firmament, the head of Ying Long peeked down through the oppressive cloud layer, its dragon head alone nearly as large as the Emei Golden Summit.

Along with its speech, the light barrier from the Xuanguang Ruler began to quiver, while the unprotected peaks of Shushan suffered a series of landslides, with a great number of trees, soil, and rocks crumbling and falling down.

The power of mere words was terrifying to such an extent!

At that moment, the Jade Capital Sect Leader was leading the Nascent Soul Realm Peak Masters in battle near the Demon Locking Tower against the main forces of the Jiaolong.

The other Golden Core True Persons were scattered among the various peaks, hunting down the stray Jiaolong that had escaped.

If the Ying Long within the clouds truly launched an attack on the Emei Golden Summit, there wouldn’t even be a high-rank Sword Immortal to restrain it!

Of course, Ying Long wouldn’t go out of its way to trouble these “lower-end cultivators”; it merely lowered its head to gaze at Mount Emei, the golden vertical slit in its eyes showing only cold majesty, without a trace of other emotions.

Suddenly, it seemed to notice Ling Yunpo within the crowd, as its pupils flashed with a complex and inexplicable light.

Then, Ying Long opened its massive mouth, and a five-colored radiance began to condense in its throat, resembling the planetary destruction cannon from a sci-fi blockbuster.

…

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ling Yunpo looked up to the sky, seeing Ying Long still maintaining its posture of gathering energy with its mouth open, but the sky was already filled with numerous strange lines.

These lines formed a dense net that perfectly covered the gigantic body of Ying Long.

The next second, the lines spread across the sky suddenly vanished.

At the same time, the five-colored brilliance in the throat of Ying Long dissipated, as if choked and locked tight around its neck.

Moments later, its body suddenly burst with a large amount of blood, the slender wounds matching exactly with the previous distribution of the lines.

Ling Yunpo gazed in stunned silence at this miraculous sight, while Lin Duanshan beside him exclaimed with a tone mixed with zeal, longing, and adoration:

“That’s the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Array!”

“The Dual Polarity Dust Sword Array?” Ling Yunpo was also shocked, “Is it the large sword array that needs the Eleventh-Rank Immortal Sword—the Dual Polarity Dust Sword to activate?”

“To be precise, it’s not that the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Array needs the Dual Polarity Dust Sword for activation.” Duan Fenhai also rarely opened up, his deep gaze fixed on the sky, “It’s that the Dual Polarity Dust Sword was forged from the beginning to preside over the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Array.”

“Exactly.” Lin Duanshan elaborated, “Back in ancient times during the great battle between the Clarifying and Intercepting Cults, the Intercepting Cult used the Four Swords of Massacre to create the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, irresponsibly killing countless Clarifying Cult Sword Immortals.”

“Later, the Clarifying Cult developed the Dual Polarity Dust Sword Array, which was inspired by the Intercepting Cult Sword Formation. With the Dual Polarity Dust Sword as the eye of the formation, it could harness the immense force of post-heaven Yin and Yang to crush everything within the formation into dust.”

While the two were explaining, the bloodied Ying Long had already escaped back into the clouds, still as free and unimpeded as before, showing no signs of serious injury.

The lines in the sky reappeared, this time denser by a factor of two, seeming like inexhaustible intersecting Sword Qi, slicing directly into the clouds.

A heavy dragon chant soon emitted from within the clouds.

The outcome of the battle within the clouds was still unknown, but the Shushan disciples atop the Emei Golden Summit only saw more and more lines appearing.

They weren’t just densely covering the sky above the summit, but were rapidly spreading in all directions. It was as if someone was carelessly painting in the sky.

The lines doubled, then quadrupled, increasing at a geometric rate.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

They crossed mountains and swept over valleys, passing over the battling Shushan Sword Immortals and Jiaolong as if they were insubstantial, but slicing into the Jiaolong’s white scales and flesh like tangible Sword Qi, instantly dismembering and killing them.

It seemed like a quarter of an hour had passed, yet felt like the flick of a finger; when the disciples of the Shushan faction from Emei Golden Summit looked again, no jiaolong existed between heaven and earth. Even the dark clouds in the sky were cut into disarray by dense lines, allowing the brilliant golden light of day to scatter down.

A majestic and profound white sword light shot out from the depths of the Demon Locking Tower, entering the clouds where the Ying Long had been before, and then retreated back into the Demon Locking Tower.

“So it’s true,” Duan Fenhai said quietly after a long silence.

“What’s true?” Ling Yunpo asked curiously.

“Wielding the Dual Polarity Dust Sword and spreading the Dual Polarity Dust Formation across the entire Shushan territory, what rank do you think this predecessor is?” Lin Duanshan chuckled.

Ling Yunpo was momentarily speechless upon hearing this but then heard An Zhisu say from the side:

“An Immortal.”

“It seems our Shushan Shangqing Faction… and we should add Kunlun and Penglai to the list, have an ancient Clarify Cult Immortal of the Daluo Golden Immortal rank backing us. Starting today, this is probably confirmed,” Lin Duanshan said with a sigh, “Actually, when you think about it, it makes sense since we are the inheritors of the ancient Clarify Cult teachings.”

“You’re putting the cart before the horse,” Guan Shanyue said while ascending the steps, speaking indifferently, “It’s not because the Three Pure Ones Orthodox Sect inherited the Clarify Cult teachings that ancient Clarify Cult Immortals are stationed here.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“But rather because, at the time of the decline of the Clarify Cult, the three surviving ancient Clarify Cult Immortals each chose one of these three forces—Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai.”

“Only these three sects ultimately survived and became the inheritors of the ancient Clarify Cult teachings.”

The crowd fell silent.

The ancient secrets Guan Shanyue spoke of were not recorded in any official texts within the Orthodox Sect but were passed down among the top families of cultivators. No one had heard of them before, yet upon reflection, they seemed quite plausible.

After the fall of the ancient Clarify Cult, it just happened to split into three forces—Kunlun, Shushan, and Penglai? Of course, that was impossible. After all, the Intercepting Cult could be divided into five based on different teachings. If the Clarify Cult were to be meticulously divided according to sect lineages, the corresponding forces would certainly be more numerous, not less.

The reason why only the teachings of the Three Pure Ones survived until today was naturally that the teachings of the other Clarify Cult lineages were eventually integrated and unified by the Three Pure Ones Orthodox Sect.

“The Immortal from Shushan is called ‘Long Eyebrow’,” Guan Shanyue continued, “Of course, knowing this name doesn’t really matter since he is far beyond our current rank. Apart from the Jade Capital Sect Leader, probably only the Various Peaks Sword Masters might have the chance to meet him.”

“Regardless, this is good news,” Ling Yunpo concluded upon seeing everyone’s conflicted expressions, “Having an Immortal personally intervene and dissolve this turmoil into nothingness means we no longer have to worry.”

Upon his words, everyone agreed, finding Po Yun Sword Immortal’s reasoning sound.

“So, it was Long Eyebrow Immortal,” the Kunlun Mirror mentioned wistfully within the Sea of Consciousness, the tone seemingly laden with complexity.

“What’s the matter?” Ling Yunpo joked, “Could it be that this Long Eyebrow Immortal is an old acquaintance of yours?”

“Not exactly, he probably wasn’t even born when I fell into the mortal world,” sighed the Kunlun Mirror, “What I mean is…”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“When he wielded the Dual Polarity Dust Sword and emerged from the Demon Locking Tower, I perceived that the location of the Heaven-Mending Stone fragment also shifted.”

Ling Yunpo: ???

“The Heaven-Mending Stone fragment of the Shushan Shangqing Faction is on the body of the sect-guarding Long Eyebrow Immortal?” he asked in disbelief.

“It seems that way now,” the Kunlun Mirror said bitterly.

“Well, Ah Jing,” Ling Yunpo paused for a moment before speaking, “What do you think about slightly modifying our plan?”

“What modification?”

“Instead of scheming to acquire the Heaven-Mending Stone from an Immortal, how about I go find Long Eyebrow Immortal right now and turn you in?” Ling Yunpo said solemnly, “Let this ancestor of Shushan be your savior and mend the heavens, how about that?”

“…Even though I can tell you’re joking, I still want to say one thing,” the Kunlun Mirror rebuked angrily, “You’re a beast, not human!”

“Thanks for the compliment.”
