Chapter 391: 338: Destroying Demons with the Flip of a Hand
Those dozens of powerful individuals from the Demonic Cult, who were scampering away in all directions, became even more anxious, wanting to flee this place quickly and not give Pei Xuanjing a chance to catch up with them.
Pei Xuanjing was in no rush to chase after them. He stood, hands behind his back, high in the sky above the clouds. His Yin Spirit was already zeroing in on the fleeing individuals’ locations, and even though some of them had already fled several miles away, he was not anxious.
Boom…
The Shenxiao Origin Qi of Pei Xuanjing surged out at will, tinting the heaven and earth within a radius of hundreds of miles in only an instant. Suddenly, the sky changed color, with flashes of blue, red, yellow, white, and black intertwining and crossing paths.
Pei Xuanjing released his magical domain completely.
Then, he raised both arms, and his palms came together, following which countless amounts of thunder gathered in his palms, exuding a terrifying aura.
Boom!
The sky above Pei Xuanjing’s head echoed with the thunderous sound of exploding thunder, with atmospheric changes, gathering thunder, and roiling clouds.
Pei Xuanjing stood imposingly like a mountain range, his gaze sweeping in all directions. The changing winds and clouds around him added a mysterious dignity to his demeanor. His long hair fluttered about him, resembling a Fairy God in the high heavens.
Roar!
In the blink of an eye, he slapped his palms together continuously, and countless thunders flew from his hands. Then those thunders transformed into countless thunder dragons of purple and blue color, roaring and tearing through the sky, causing an earth-shaking dragon roar sound, stirring up the wind and thunder, tremendous in momentum.
These purple-blue thunder dragons rushed towards those fleeing individuals from the Demonic Cult. Under Pei Xuanjing’s Yin Spirit’s lock-on, the dragons would only attack those specific people. Unless they could break the thunder dragons, they had no way to hide.
The purple-blue thunder dragons roared through the sky, causing exploding thunder continuously. They went from the bottom up, straight to the clouds. Everywhere they passed, waves of energy swept through, carrying an aura that could annihilate everything, seeming to wish to destroy all.
Sword Saint Pei Min appeared in Wannian County.
Sword Saint Pei Min triggered heavenly phenomena, transforming into the Thunder God, summoning countless forces of thunder, killing dozens of Heavenly Rank cultivators from the Demonic Cult in one move, causing massive losses to the cult.
Annihilating dozens of Heavenly Rank cultivators in one move, the ten years of seclusion have greatly increased the cultivation of the Sword Saint.
The awe-inspiring presence of the Sword Saint, it seems like he could strive for being first in the world.
A Demonic Cult stronghold was destroyed by the Sword Saint, and the Master of the Demonic Cult was furious and wanted to kill the Sword Saint.
Within just a few days, news of Pei Xuanjing annihilating numerous high-ranking members of the Demonic Cult with a single move had spread throughout the world, shocking countless people.
Even Ye Daoyuan, who had sent a message asking Pei Xuanjing for help in annihilating the Demonic Cult stronghold, was utterly shocked when he heard the news.
Even though he knew that this matter was a piece of cake for Pei Xuanjing, the latter’s strength of annihilating dozens of Heavenly Rank powerhouses in one move was utterly horrifying to hear about.
“It seems that your progress in these ten years has indeed exceeded my expectations!” Ye Daoyuan could not help but look at Pei Xuanjing, with unerasable surprise in his eyes, and curiously asked, “Have you sensed the Realm of Heavenly People yet?”
Celestial Human Realm!
This was a realm that every cultivator in this world longed for, Ye Daoyuan being no exception.
Although he had already condensed his magical domain and was known as a cultivator who had one foot in the Celestial Human Realm, he knew that he was still a bit short of reaching it.
He was so close yet so far. Although it seemed he was only a bit short, it was actually unreachable. He had been stuck here for god knows how many years.
Pei Xuanjing shook his head, saying, “I am still a bit short.”
Ye Daoyuan was puzzled, “You once summoned the Door of Celestial in your fight with the Red Sun Martial Venerate. Ten years have passed, and you’re still a bit short?”
“It was him who summoned the Door of Celestial, not me.” Pei Xuanjing explained.
Ye Daoyuan fell silent for a moment, and then quietly said, “Even so, I’m afraid I’m no match for you now.”
Only now did he truly understand how it feels to be overtaken and surpassed by someone who came later. Even though the Empress Dowager had wounded him, she had not made him feel this way.
“Haha.” Pei Xuanjing lightly chuckled, not commenting on his words.
Seeing that Pei Xuanjing did not wish to elaborate, Ye Daoyuan did not want to dwell on this topic further.
Moreover, right at this critical moment, the more powerful Pei Xuanjing was, the more advantageous it would be for the task he was planning to undertake.
He slowly opened his mouth and said: “During my battle with the Empress Dowager, I felt that she might have already broken through the Realm of Heavenly People.”
“Hm?” Pei Xuanjing’s eyes lit up as he thought to himself, just as I thought.
In fact, when he heard that Ye Daoyuan had been wounded by the Empress Dowager, he had already guessed this much. After all, Ye Daoyuan definitely had the strength to back his reputation. It would have been one thing if he had been ganged up on by multiple combatants, but being hurt by a single Empress Dowager was enough to demonstrate her horrifying power.
Ye Daoyuan continued, “My magical domain was unable to trap her; she broke it easily.”
“Being able to fight with such an enemy might give me a glimpse into the mysteries of the Heavenly Human Realm.” There was a glint of joy in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes.
To him, the harvest he had already reaped in this world was already plentiful. Next, his biggest goal would be to battle against the Empress Dowager, who seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm.
This battle, if he could take the opportunity to break through the mysteries of the Celestial Human Realm and step into the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm, it would be the best outcome. He was not disheartened, even if he failed. After all, it would be worthwhile to experience the strength of a Fourth Level Spiritual Realmer in advance.
One could say that Pei Xuanjing didn’t feel any burden at this moment. To him, there was no pressure about this upcoming trip to the Capital and battling the Empress Dowager. He was now simply a cultivator striving for progress!
Of course, Ye Daoyuan didn’t know what Pei Xuanjing was thinking. He was startled when he heard Pei Xuanjing speak. After seeing his expression, he took a deep breath and said admiringly, “Such open-mindedness is worthy of praise, Brother Pei. It makes me feel rather ashamed!”
In this moment, seeing Pei Xuanjing as he was, Ye Daoyuan wasn’t envious that Pei Xuanjing achieved this level at such a young age but rather, he thought it was only natural.
Pei Xuanjing’s demeanor was like the true immortals in Taoist scriptures, not paying attention to worldly matters, and focusing solely on pursuing the Great Tao.
They didn’t attach importance to all things mundane and worldly. Only the Great Tao existed in their hearts, and they were even ready to forsake their lives for the pursuit of Tao.
Wasn’t that precisely how Pei Min was? He had extraordinary talent and was unbound by worldly desires, focusing solely on the pursuit of the Tao. It would indeed be strange if he did not have such achievements.
“Haha, Taoist friend, your praise is unwarranted.” Pei Xuanjing knew Ye Daoyuan misunderstood something, but he didn’t bother to explain.
He decided to change the subject and asked: “Now that you have recovered from your injuries, do you have a plan on when to conclude this matter?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Daoyuan became solemn and began to speak seriously.
