Chapter 147: Old Thief, Look at My Sword!
As the words were spoken, countless energies of the earth demons surged around.
These energies of the earth demons were extremely dense and pure, clearly far superior to the previous energies. Then, under the control of the copper mirror, these countless energies transformed into a giant hand, preparing to bind Ji Yang in place!
Ji Yang’s body quivered slightly, revealing his realm gradually.
As his realm emerged, his momentum soared, shattering the hand formed from the energies of the earth demons!
“Ha ha, so what if it’s the Golden Core Stage?”
“Ha ha, so what if it’s the Nascent Soul Stage?”
Although his words were dismissive, Ji Yang’s young age and the fact that he had reached the Nascent Soul Stage made the copper mirror take him more seriously.
At the same time, the energies of the earth demons surrounding them intensified once again!
Such talent, he must obtain! Even if it costs him his lifespan!
As long as he seized this body, he could surely advance to become a True Immortal, sharing the same lifespan as heaven and earth!
At this moment, the entire room turned pitch black, with only a faint glow shimmering on the copper mirror. In the darkness, Ji Yang’s figure had disappeared without a trace.
In an instant, a beam of Sword Light broke through the air, shattering the darkness.
Where the Sword Light passed, daylight surged in, dispelling all the energies of the earth demons.
The sword energy did not stop, charging straight toward the ancient copper mirror.
This was Ji Yang’s all-out strike at his current realm!
He was confident he could defeat not only opponents of his own level but even those two small realms higher.
However, as the sword energy struck the ancient copper mirror, a black hand quietly reached out from within the mirror and gently grasped, causing Ji Yang’s sword energy to shatter instantly.
Seeing this, Ji Yang’s expression tightened, but he was not overly fearful.
If this ancient copper mirror was truly powerful, he wouldn’t have had the chance to speak or counterattack.
As long as it wasn’t an instant defeat, it would be a fifty-fifty chance!
“Kid, not bad, very good!”
“But it ends here!”
With the appearance of that black arm, a new figure formed from the energies of the earth demons slowly emerged from the copper mirror.
Halfway through, the figure exerted some force and finally squeezed its way out.
This newly formed shadow was not the previous illusion; it had a complete form.
Before Ji Yang stood a middle-aged man with a dominating presence, clad in uniquely shaped armor. His black pupils showed no signs, but without a doubt, this man was the owner of the voice that had been hiding in the copper mirror.
Ji Yang didn’t say much. With a thought, he began to channel the sword intent nurtured within him!
To deal with this person, he decided to use his ultimate move!
At the same time, he prepared to unleash the sword intent he had nurtured for the longest time!
This sword had been nurtured for almost four months, which equated to nearly a decade of power.
Ji Yang did not know how powerful the sword energy would be, but he was certain it was his strongest move.
If this move fails, he would have to consider fleeing.
He already sensed the instability of the surrounding formations, and besides, he had the Heart Sword to find any flaws. With a few other flying swords he had nurtured, he could easily escape from trouble.
This was also why Ji Yang was calm; behind him was the He Dao Sect. As long as he left this place, the ancient copper mirror would surely be unable to escape.
“Wait!”
Just as Ji Yang was about to summon his sword intent, the shadow opposite him raised a hand, signaling him to stop.
Ji Yang had no intention of engaging in petty talk and unleashed an even sharper sword energy!
Even the formations binding this place trembled slightly.
The middle-aged man formed from the shadow spoke again:
“As a senior, young man, surely you understand some etiquette of the cultivation world? Why always resort to fighting and killing? How can one become a high-level cultivator?”
“Cultivation doesn’t always have to rely on fists!”
Ji Yang paid no mind, but the shadow appeared a little flustered and hurriedly said:
“Do you not know that your talent will incur Heaven’s Jealousy? With such power at your age, the calamity will surely be formidable…”
Hearing this, Ji Yang paused his actions.
He knew his own talent; although he was not in immediate danger, it was still quite bothersome.
From the words of this ancient relic, who seemed to have lived for ages, it appeared he knew some secrets unknown to others.
Seeing Ji Yang halt, the middle-aged man’s anxiousness lessened considerably, and he continued:
“With such talent, born to incur the heavens’ envy, your cultivation level advances at an astonishing speed; it seems there’s truth in this.”
“Wrong! It’s all due to my own hard work; it has nothing to do with talent.”
Ji Yang replied.
The middle-aged man didn’t argue but said lightly:
“Even if your talent is outstanding and your cultivation speed is rapid, you still cannot avoid future tribulations. Rather than spend your life in fear, why not submit your body to me?”
“Let me bear it all; this way, you won’t have to worry.”
“When that time comes, I will be you, using your body, your name, your identity to achieve the position of True Immortal, gaining fame, fulfilling your wishes, making your friends envious, bringing comfort to your elders, and providing satisfaction to your descendants…”
“By the way, have you ever had a Dao partner?”
“Looks like you haven’t. What a pity, such a great age and you don’t know the joys of the mortal world, but never mind, I will help you!”
Ji Yang originally had a serious expression, but after hearing the middle-aged man’s words, all of it vanished.
“Old thief, look at my sword!”
Ji Yang once again channeled the sword intent within him and focused it onto the Superior flying sword, intending to strike!
However, the shadowy man’s expression showed no panic; instead, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
As Ji Yang’s sword energy was still gathering, in the next moment, time seemed to freeze, and Ji Yang’s body appeared immobilized, as if it were not under his control.
The sword intent he had summoned returned to the acupoints in his body without any command.
Ji Yang’s expression froze, his body remained in the posture of drawing the sword, and only his eyes could move slightly.
In front of Ji Yang, the middle-aged shadow emitted a hoarse laugh:
“Jie jie jie!”
Below, the ancient copper mirror was held in the shadow’s hand, shining brightly. Inside it, Ji Yang’s figure and the surrounding scenes were reflected, and in this image, even the slightest breeze was absent.
“Tsk tsk tsk, kid, you’ve been tricked!”
“Did you really think I was afraid of you? It was only to buy time.”
Looking at the motionless Ji Yang, the middle-aged shadow grinned widely, even going around Ji Yang to closely observe this perfect body.
As he circled around, he nodded repeatedly:
“Not bad; with this body, what worries can’t be overcome?”
At this point, there were no more uncertainties. The middle-aged shadow lost the urgency he had before and stared down at his hands with a hint of nostalgia, murmuring:
“If it weren’t for these years spent preserving my physical form and exhausting the spiritual energy of this space’s treasures, would I have become so weak?”
“What a pity, in the end, it was still a failure, leaving behind only a primordial spirit.”
