I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 361 - 291: Sword Gathering

On this day, the void outside the gates of the Seven Kills Saint Sect suddenly trembled violently.

The previously calm space cracked open like shattered glass, followed by a massive "boom", as the entire void collapsed, forming a gigantic black hole.

A figure with Sword Qi as brilliant as a rainbow emerged slowly from the black hole. He was clad in a moon-white Daoist robe, with a scholarly and elegant appearance, exuding an aura as vast as the sea, seemingly integrated with the heavens and earth.

With each of his breaths, the surrounding void continuously evolved subtle Destruction Dao Principles, only to instantly reorganize, extraordinarily mysterious.

Beside this figure, the Seven Kills Demon Monarch stood respectfully with his hands lowered, completely concealing the pressure of his Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, looking at the other party with eyes full of awe.

Few people knew that there had long been a connection between the Seven Kills Demon Monarch and Chen Xihua—being the Celestial Venerable of Divinity Transformation in the Eastern Domain, he had planted many chess pieces within various factions over the years, of which the Seven Kills Demon Monarch was one.

The core purpose of his existence was to stabilize the order of the Demon Countries and prevent Demon Cultivators from becoming overly rampant, leading to greater chaos.

"Is this the place where that young friend took action?"

Chen Xihua’s voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority, as his gaze slowly swept across the void around the gates of the Seven Kills Saint Sect.

This was already the second time he had been drawn here by the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch.

"Indeed, Celestial Venerable." The Seven Kills Demon Monarch quickly bowed in response, not daring to show the slightest negligence.

Chen Xihua nodded slightly, and with a gentle flick of his finger, an invisible Power of Heaven and Earth quickly merged into the surrounding void.

The traces of Sword Light and the remnants of Sword Momentum that had long since dissipated were actually being peeled bit by bit from the void and reconstituted under the guidance of this Power of Heaven and Earth.

Traces of faint azure Sword Light flickered in the air, with the pressure formed by the Sword Momentum slowly spreading out, even these residual traces caused the Seven Kills Demon Monarch beside him to feel alarmed.

Chen Xihua closed his eyes, completely immersing his Heart Spirit in these traces of Sword Light.

He meticulously comprehended the Dao Rhyme contained in each Sword Light: the sharpness of the Penetration Dao Rhyme, the balance of the Yin Yang Dao Rhyme, and the mystery of the Void Dao Rhyme, all clearly emerged in his mind sea.

Before long, he slowly opened his eyes, gently raised his eyebrows, and his tone carried a trace of regret:

"An almost perfect Penetration Dao Principle Prototype, yet entangled with elements of Yin Yang and Void Dao Rhyme—a somewhat variegated path."

In his view, cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage should focus on refining a single Dao Rhyme to perfection, in order to ensure a steadier and further path in future cultivation.

Comprehending multiple Dao Rhymes should be considered during the Divinity Transformation Stage, when one’s Primordial Spirit merges with the heavens and earth.

"However, compared to his sword strike a hundred years ago, his progress now is indeed remarkable, truly a cultivation prodigy."

Chen Xihua shifted his tone, a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Throughout his life immersed in the Sword Dao, the profundities he inherited and created were unparalleled, yet none from the Chen Clan descendants, nor the disciples of the Three Elements Dao Sect, nor the successors of the Wuji Immortal Mansion, could fully inherit his Sword Dao legacy.

However, the Sword Dao talent displayed by Chen Sheng gave him hope—this young man might have the caliber to inherit his Sword Dao.

Besides this, Chen Xihua also harbored a slight private wish:

"Throughout the Great Wilderness Four Domains, this person’s talent is unrivaled, and the likelihood of him successfully breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm one day is exceedingly high."

"When I eventually break through the boundary and leave, the Chen Clan’s heritage might still rely on him to look after, preventing the clan from declining due to the loss of protection."

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Xihua flipped his hand, revealing a sword talisman that was entirely white and inscribed with Sword Patterns in his palm.

He handed the sword talisman to the Seven Kills Demon Monarch, instructing with a solemn tone:

"Should this young friend return to the Seven Kills Sect in the future, you are to show him this talisman and request, for Chen’s sake, that he shows some leniency to the Seven Kills Sect."

"Additionally, pass on a message for me: I am willing to host a Daoist banquet at the Three Elements Dao Sect, inviting him to discuss the Sword Dao and share cultivation insights."

The Seven Kills Demon Monarch received the sword talisman with both hands, and upon touching it, he felt the terrifying sword might contained within, causing him to quickly restrain his Heart Spirit.

Being astute as he was, he instantly discerned the importance Chen Xihua placed on Chen Sheng—being treated so earnestly by a Celestial Venerable of Divinity Transformation, and even proactively invited to converse, such treatment was far above that of ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators.

The Seven Kills Demon Monarch was stirred like a raging tempest in his heart, secretly grateful he hadn’t impulsively acted against Chen Sheng in the past, or the consequences would have been dire.

"The Seven Kills will certainly remember the Celestial Venerable’s orders without the slightest error." The Seven Kills Demon Monarch bowed respectfully, his attitude becoming increasingly humble.

Chen Xihua nodded slightly, his gaze once again sweeping over the void, as if recalling the Sword Light he had just comprehended.

Before departing, he looked at the Seven Kills Demon Monarch, his tone carrying a hint of admonishment:

"In future actions, exercise more caution, and refrain from doing anything foolish that backfires. While the order of the Demon Dao needs stability, it also..."

The words abruptly stopped, the warning implication abundantly clear—no one is irreplaceable.

The Seven Kills Demon Monarch’s heart pounded wildly, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. After a while, he respectfully replied:

"The Seven Kills understands, thank you Celestial Venerable for your guidance."

Chen Xihua said no more, and with a flicker of his form, he transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the void.

...

Upon returning to the Three Elements Dao Sect, Chen Xihua immediately ordered the convening of a Great Wilderness Sword Assembly, inviting top-tier Sword Cultivators from both human and demon clans within the Four Domains of the Great Wilderness.

As time passed.

Outside the mountain gate of the Three Elements Dao Sect, a large invitation to the Sword Assembly was displayed. Countless Sword Cultivators, upon hearing the news, flocked there, and for a time, the Three Elements Dao Sect was bustling, with the aura of Sword Dao permeating the heavens and earth.

At the Sword Assembly, Chen Xihua discussed Sword Dao insights with various Sword Cultivators, demonstrating exquisite Sword Techniques, eliciting waves of exclamations from the audience.

However, until the end of the Sword Assembly, as all the Sword Cultivators gradually departed, he still did not see that figure.

Chen Xihua stood atop the Three Elements Dao Sect, looking at the empty plaza with a helpless shake of his head, softly sighed:

"Well, it seems there is ultimately no fate."

Despite the immense scale of the event, since the other party chose not to come, it was evident they harbored concerns and were unwilling to attend.

With the timing for breaking through the boundary and ascending growing nearer, since the other party was unwilling, Chen Xihua had no intention of sending people to search for the other party’s whereabouts.

Knowing the other party’s character, should people be sent to forcibly search, not only would success be uncertain, but it would also likely incite the other party’s resentment, creating unnecessary enmity.

After pondering briefly, Chen Xihua summoned a few core disciples and juniors, instructing:

"When you are out traveling in the future, pay attention to a cultivator proficient in the Penetration Sword Dao. If you encounter such a person, do not deliberately disturb them, simply strive to form a good bond, and avoid becoming their enemy."

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in unison, although full of curiosity, they dared not ask more, keeping this matter firmly in mind.
