One month later, Zhou Xuanji completely mastered World Reincarnation and became used to his new senses.
He started to completely focus on raising his cultivation and did not directly try to cultivate the third level of the World Buddha Art.
His goal was the Great Realization stage.
If he could break through to the Great Realization stage soon, he would not have to worry about Jihuang Demon Lord coming to attack.
As for contending with Yang Di, he was not sure about that.
After all, even Xian Xianghua did not know just how powerful Yang Di was.
“Analyzed that the Sword Owner has reached 31 years old. Gacha started!”
“Ding, Congratulations Sword Owner has obtained [Gold] Spring Wind Sword, Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha!”
The Sword Spirit’s voice sounded in Zhou Xuanji’s mind, causing him to open his eyes.
Just a single legendary sword?
And a Gold grade one too.
Zhou Xuanji felt somewhat disappointed; it seemed that he had used all his luck on Heavenly Retribution Martial Punishment.
Three lines of words appeared before his eyes.
Sword Name: Spring Wind Sword
Grade: Gold
Description: Created from an Emotion Stone. Once used, it can reduce an enemy’s negative emotions and cause them to become happy.
嗯?
Hm?
A sword that could make people happy?
The heck?
Zhou Xuanji subconsciously took out the Spring Wind Sword. It was a sky blue color and looked like it was made of crystal, making it seem quite dreamlike.
Wait, this sword might have amazing effects during negotiations.
Just like the World Fool Sword, it was a support-type legendary sword.
After playing with the Spring Wind Sword for a while, Zhou Xuanji put it into the Supreme Storage and started to receive the Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha.
Just from this name alone, Zhou Xuanji could tell that this would be something extraordinary.
It would definitely be some kind of extremely powerful sword technique.
A large wave of memories flooded into his mind, causing him to slowly close his eyes.
Apart from him, only Daoya Old Man and Jiang Xue were at the summit of the mountain; everyone else was cultivating at other places on Skyfall.
The reason was quite simple—if they all internalized qi together, they would not be able to compete with Zhou Xuanji.
Recently, Xian Xianghua had been acting quite secretively, as if she was plotting something.
Jiang Xue had some talent in divination, and she could do some simple divinations and foretell some small things one day into the future.
Daoya Old Man had often sighed in amazement that Jiang Xue might surpass him in the future.
It was as if this girl had decent talent in everything except the Way of the Sword.
She gave off the feeling of an all-rounder and just so happened to complement Zhou Xuanji.
The time of half an incense stick later, Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes and looked awed—what a domineering sword technique!
Its destructive power was even greater than the Ancestral Dragon Sword!
When practiced to Great Accomplishment, Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha could allow him to gather sword qi into a Thousand Hand Sword Buddha. Each hand held a sword and had the powerful to destroy the heavens and earth!
This sword technique had 1,000 sword styles, and it was incredibly profound and deep!
Zhou Xuanji took out the Spring Wind Sword and started to practice it.
After using this sword, he started to feel happier, and this was the same for Jiang Xue and Daoya Old Man as well.
“This boy gained enlightenment of a new sword technique?” Daoya Old Man laughed as he stroked his beard, a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Jiang Xue smiled and her hands did not stop, continuously controlling heaven and earth spirit qi.
Divination also required spirit qi; after all, everything that she divined was within the heavens and earth, and spirit qi was the intermediary.
Zhou Xuanji took nearly ten minutes to practice the Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha sword technique once.
In his current state, ten minutes was enough to complete many things.
The more difficult Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha was, the more anticipation he felt.
Night fell, and as Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian and the others went up the mountain and saw Zhou Xuanji practicing, their eyes lit up.
“This boy has already practiced for an entire day. Looks like this sword technique is not simple,” Daoya Old Man said, sounding profound. This caused Zhao Congjian, Xiao Jinghong, Ning Zifeng, Beixiao Wangjian, Huang Lianxin, and Lin Changge to become excited.
Could it be a sword technique that could rival the Ancestor Dragon Sword?
In their hearts, the Ancestor Dragon Sword was already the most powerful sword technique; it was very difficult to create an even more powerful sword technique.
Zhou Xuanji did not pay them any mind and continued to focus on practicing.
Early the next day, he finally attained Small Accomplishment in Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha.
By dusk, he had practiced Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha to Great Accomplishment. His speed was incredibly fast, to the point that even the Great Realization cultivators could only see a blur.
Late at night, he manifested the Sword Will of Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha. Once he used this sword technique, he could turn his mind into a Thousand Hand Sword Buddha.
“佛?”
He deeply breathed in and leapt up, coming to the sea of clouds beside Skyfall.
His sword trembled and a golden Buddha image appeared within his body and quickly expanded out.
In the blink of an eye, the golden Buddha image had become 100 feet tall. Its hands were pressed together in front of its chest, and its facial features were the same as Zhou Xuanji’s. The Buddha image gave off a golden light, illuminating the night sky, causing Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the others to stare with wide eyes.
Even Daoya Old Man was given a big fright.
“Buddha?” He looked incredibly confused; when had Zhou Xuanji encountered Buddhist Dharma?
At that moment, golden arms stretched out from behind the Buddha image. There were 1,000 of them in total, causing those who were watching to feel dazzled.
Following this, an even more shocking scene greeted their eyes.
A massive, golden sword appeared in each of the Thousand Hand Buddha image’s hands, all of them looking exactly the same as the Spring Wind Sword.
“这小子…”
The Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha truly came to life!
Seeing this, everyone on the summit of Skyfall was completely dumbfounded.
Even Xian Xianghua, who had just arrived, stared with her beautiful eyes, unable to speak for a long time.
“This boy…” Xian Xianghua felt incredibly shocked. This was the first time she had seen a sword technique that was connected to Buddhism.
This boy was far more profound than she had thought.
“Master, what sword technique is this?” Zhao Congjian came back to his senses and asked excitedly.
Zhou Xuanji entered the Sword Will Mode of Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha. His entire person entered the Thousand Hand Sword Buddha and fused with it.
The Thousand Hand Sword Buddha opened its eyes, and its eyes gave off two rays of golden light that illuminated the night sky.
“This is the Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha; Sword within Buddha, Buddha within Sword!” Zhou Xuanji said, his voice incredibly clear and loud. It gave off an extreme might, making him seem like a god.
The Thousand Hand Sword Buddha’s might was very powerful and was not any weaker than the Ancestor Sword Dragon.
Lin Changge gripped his fists together as his breathing became ragged.
He wanted to learn this sword technique!
However, he had not even learned Ancestor Dragon Sword, and he was even further away from learning Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha.
Daoya Old Man immediately pinched his fingers together and began to divine the background of this sword technique.
Chi!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood as he fell backwards onto the ground.
No one paid him any mind; they were already used to this.
Xian Xianghua stared at Zhou Xuanji, thinking to herself. She muttered, “Could this be a sword technique he developed using the Thousand Hand Devil as a reference?”
Hearing this, everyone else felt that it was possible.
Hearing Xian Xianghua mention him, they could not help but think of Qin Gang. No one knew if he was still alive or if he had suffered much.
However, this was not important, and they quickly forgot about him.
Zhou Xuanji dispelled the Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha Sword Will Mode and landed on the summit. He sat down and crossed his legs, silently thinking to himself.
Emperor’s Way Thousand Hand Sword Buddha was incredibly profound, and its essence was beneficial to his Way of the Sword.
Even though the others were curious, they did not dare to disturb him.
The moon disappeared and the sun rose.
Just as the sun rose, Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes and took out the Ancient God Sword.
He had obtained the Ancient God Sword when he broke through to Spirit Refinement, and it had been three years since.
It was time for the soul of another powerful being to be awakened.
