Checking In for Sixty Years, From Puppet Emperor to Heavenly Emperor – Chapter 55

Ch 55: Heavenly Path Legacy

Zhou An couldn’t care about the Pocket Sky Talisman being destroyed. With a flick of his right hand, eight swords flew towards the eight people.

They caught the Eight Ethereal Swords, all showing joy. They immediately formed hand seals, cast spells, and Mystic Light flew into the sword bodies, releasing eight-colored light. The eight swords floated and hovered above the eight people’s heads.

The eight people sat down in place, each person’s hand seals emitting Mystic Light that connected with the flying swords.

At this time, the giant serpent of black smoke filled the sky and pounced, crashing into the Ethereal Sword Formation.

The next second, eight sword lights shot out, like eight laser beams, sweeping across the sky. Not only was the giant serpent of black smoke cut off, but the sword lights also shredded the black smoke.

The power of the eight sword lights did not diminish, shooting into the clouds above. The sword lights stirred wildly, and the heretical cultivators hiding inside screamed as their bodies were cut apart and they fell down.

In a few moments, the Crimson Sha Ten Thousand Serpent Formation was broken, the black clouds dissipated, revealing the remaining dozen or so heretical cultivators, all with horrified expressions, scattering and fleeing.

But as soon as they turned around, their bodies were swept by the sword lights, and they were all killed.

Seeing such power, Crimson Sun Lord hurriedly retreated. Drunken Taoist controlled the sword light and shone it on him.

Crimson Sun Lord cried out in alarm, and with a flick of his right hand, the Crimson Sun Divine Fire Whip was thrown out. When it touched Drunken Taoist’s sword light, it was cut off with one blow.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, transforming into a cloud of fire and flying away. Unfortunately, when he flew into the air, he was struck by Drunken Taoist’s sword light. With a scream, the cloud of fire was scattered, and his body was split into two pieces and fell to the ground.

The other seven people’s sword lights attacked the Six-Winged Demon Scale Snake. This time, the sword lights left wounds on its body that were so deep that the bone could be seen. The Six-Winged Demon Scale Snake roared in pain. With a few more sword strikes, it would definitely be killed.

Qishan Old Ancestor felt heartache when he saw this, and hurriedly took it back. Without leaving a word, he wanted to escape.

“Qishan Old Demon, where are you going?” Divine Beggar roared, controlling the sword light to strike his back, but it was blocked by the robe on his body.

“Eight Swords Combine as One!” Lord Longyang shouted.

The eight people’s hand seals changed, and the eight-colored sword lights combined into a colored sword light, landing on Qishan Old Ancestor’s body.

His robe was torn open, but fortunately, he avoided the fatal spot. Only his right arm was cut off from the shoulder. He screamed, and his body transformed into a flash of blue light and disappeared.

“D*mn it!” Divine Beggar roared unwillingly.

The eight people stopped, took back their flying swords, and showed joy.

Lord Longyang looked at the sword in his hand and frowned, saying, “It seems our speculation was wrong. The Eight Swords are not Immortal Treasures.”

“This is a magic weapon specially designed to cooperate with the Ethereal Sword Formation. The individual power is very ordinary.” Book Immortal showed a disappointed expression. If that was all, then their own flying swords would be much better than the Ethereal Swords.

After knowing the situation, the few people lost interest in the Eight Ethereal Swords. It was impossible for them to always be together as eight people. Originally, they could only be considered ordinary friends to each other, so these Eight Ethereal Swords became a burden.

“The Demonic Path and Heretical Path dare to attack us. This time, we’ll just use these Eight Ethereal Swords to make them pay the price.” Lord Longyang said with a cold face.

Divine Beggar sighed and said, “I can’t go anymore. The Sixth Heavenly Tribulation is coming soon. I’ll undergo tribulation here. You form a formation to watch over me. If I enter Demon, kill me.”

Gambling Devil sighed and said, “Old Beggar, why not Disassembly Reincarnation and cultivate again? When the time comes, we few will bring your reincarnation back and guide you into the Dao. Being killed after entering Demon will cause your soul to scatter. It’s not worth it.”

Divine Beggar hesitated and said, “Everyone, the Eight Ethereal Swords are meaningless when separated. I am willing to exchange all my treasures with you, so that these Eight Ethereal Swords can guard Heavenly Path Peak.

If you don’t like what I have here, Heavenly Path Sect will definitely have treasures that you like. Please grant my wish.”

“Alright, let’s go to Heavenly Path Sect and see if we can exchange for a handy treasure. It’s much better than this useless thing.” Gambling Devil said first.

Drunken Taoist directly threw the Ethereal Flying Sword in his hand to Divine Beggar and said, “This time, Little Friend Zhou An obtained it. Just now, his Pocket Sky Talisman was destroyed, so go to Heavenly Path Sect and find a protective magic weapon for him.”

“Okay.” Divine Beggar took it and led everyone to fly away from here.

These people all knew people who could deduce things to some extent. They already knew that these Eight Ethereal Swords were destined for them, so they stayed here. Other things were irrelevant to them, and no one would force it, so as not to be tainted by Karma.

This was also the way of life for people with high cultivation, who were accustomed to a pure-hearted and disciplined cultivation method.

Of course, those cultivators who could not deduce things themselves, and who did not have friends who could deduce Heavenly Secrets, would not do this. They would still fight for cultivation resources.

It was precisely because of this kind of character that they would always exclude and even kill those who broke the rules.

However, most of these people were low━ and middle-level cultivators. High-level cultivators would only take action when faced with threats. Otherwise, they would almost always be in secluded cultivation in their own Sect.

Heavenly Path Peak was a blessed place. The mountain range under its feet was where the Spirit Veins were located, making it a good place for cultivators to cultivate in seclusion.

This Heavenly Path Sect was just a square platform built on top of the mountain peak, used as a place for disciples to preach the Dao. There were no other buildings. All the Sect disciples cultivated in the mountains and forests.

Most of them were in the forks of trees, some in caves, or on cliffs.

But now, Heavenly Path Sect only had one Tian Chanzi left, who was usually on this platform.

But when Divine Beggar came to this mountain peak, he saw from afar that Heavenly Path Peak was gone. The mountain had cracked open, and even the Spirit Veins had been destroyed. The surrounding area was full of collapsed mountain rocks and debris.

Seeing this scene, Divine Beggar was shocked, his face showing anger. Before the Heavenly Tribulation had even appeared, Demonic Energy was faintly revealed in his body.

The others flew and landed on the surrounding mountain peaks, all sighing secretly.

Divine Beggar looked up to the sky and roared, expressing the grief and resentment in his heart. The Heavenly Tribulation had not yet appeared, but Demonic Energy was already faintly revealed in his body.

Drunken Taoist frowned, clenching his fists tightly, his thoughts struggling. They had promised each other that if they entered Demon, they would be killed.

At this time, two Ethereal Swords shot over and were inserted in front of Drunken Taoist and Zhou An. There was also a Treasure Sack in front of Zhou An.

“Zhou Nan, you are an Independent Cultivator who has just entered the Sect, right? Are you willing to join Heavenly Path Sect? I will pass on all the Heavenly Path Sect’s cultivation methods to you. You also have a complete set of orthodox cultivation methods, which are much stronger than the cultivation methods you pieced together.”

Divine Beggar’s voice came. Zhou An was surprised and looked at Drunken Taoist to ask for his opinion.

“Heavenly Path Sect is a top-level Sect of the Righteous Path. Its cultivation methods are naturally not comparable to ordinary Sects. Although the Sect has been destroyed, at least the cultivation methods are still complete. This is a great opportunity for you,” Drunken Taoist said.

Zhou An thought for a moment, cupped his fists, and said, “Junior is willing.”

“Haha, good. From today onwards, you are a disciple of Heavenly Path Sect. This Treasure Sack contains Heavenly Path Sect’s secret methods, and all that I, Old Beggar, have learned in my life. After you have mastered them, you can go and find Sect Leader Tian Chanzi. If you confirm that he has been killed, then you will be the Sect Leader of Heavenly Path Sect in the future.

The grievances of Heavenly Path Sect will dissipate with me. You only need to cultivate diligently and carry forward Heavenly Path Sect. Remember not to provoke powerful enemies.”

After Divine Beggar finished speaking, he looked up at the sky. He didn’t know when, but Jie Yun had already appeared above.

“Old Drunkard, I can’t get through the Heavenly Tribulation. The Heart Devil has already been born. Help me Disassembly, Zhou Nan, twelve years later, I beg you to find my reincarnation and bring me back to Heavenly Path Sect.” Divine Beggar’s voice was full of sorrow and hatred. He sat cross-legged on the ground, using a secret method to seal his memories in his Primordial Spirit.

“Old Taoist will definitely find your transmission and guide you into the Dao,” Drunken Taoist said. He released his flying sword and cut off Divine Beggar’s Head. White light flew out from his forehead and disappeared into the distance.

The Primordial Spirit would naturally find a suitable family to be reincarnated into. This Primordial Spirit imprint could be unlocked with a secret method when cultivation reached a certain level, restoring the memories.

After Divine Beggar Disassembly and the Primordial Spirit flew away, the Jie Yun in the sky also dissipated.

Lord Longyang said, “Let’s go to East King Village. Find someone who can replace Divine Beggar and seize the time to cultivate the sword formation. When the time comes, we’ll have a good fight with them.”

“Okay.” Everyone else agreed without hesitation. Originally, the Eight Oddities were unwilling to interfere too much in the Righteous-Demonic War. This time, it had been brought to their doorstep, and they were not people without tempers.

Drunken Taoist said, “Everyone, go to East King Village first. Take Old Beggar’s Ethereal Sword with you and find a suitable candidate first. I’ll guide Little Friend Zhou Nan here. For the sake of Heavenly Path Sect’s last legacy, it’s better for him not to participate in this battle.”

“Okay.” Lord Longyang nodded, took the flying sword, and the six people flew away, controlling Escaping Light.
