Binding to Geniuses To Become Stronger

Chapter 140: The Main Path Guild’s Transcendental Presence

The Reincarnating Lotus Sword had absorbed a thousand years’ worth of reserve from the Main Path Guild.

By immersing in the spiritual sense from the 360 stone tablets inside the Main Path Mausoleum, any ordinary sword could be transfigured into a magical weapon.

In fact, Fang Lang was aware that the energy harbored inside the Reincarnating Lotus Sword was immense. Unfortunately, Fang Lang was not able to control it.

The Reincarnating Lotus Sword could be considered the most powerful weapon in the Tang Dynasty.

With the assistance of the Enlightenment Card, a century had passed in a fleeting moment and he finally understood the time sword intent inside the Reincarnating Lotus Sword.

The sword intent seed inside his energy center finally bloomed, realizing the sword intent in the third-class realm.

The entire world fell silent before an explosion erupted.

The Reincarnating Lotus Sword soared like a ferocious dragon, breaking free from the coach.

The five elders of the Main Path Guild who supported the rune were stunned by the scene before them!

The next second, all of their faces twisted into a hideous expression!

Ding!

The Reincarnating Lotus Sword slammed into one of the sides of the rune cage.

Immense sword intent erupted again and again like giant waves that kept hitting on the same spot.

Breaking it by hitting on its weak point!

The tip of the blade pierced through the rune cage by an inch.

The rune cage was at its breaking point.

Inside the cage, the white-robed young man opened his eyes. As his robe billowed, Fang Lang charged out from the cage like a white steed.

Fang Lang was exuding blade energy from his entire body as he punched on the handle of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword that was facing the five elders.

That was the last straw that broke the camel’s back!

The five elders from the Main Path Guild watched in disbelief as the sword pierced through the Five Phase Rune.

The explosion echoed through the surroundings.

The five elders flew backward gently with astonishment on their faces.

Beside the carriage, Zhao Wuji was sweating profusely as he stared at Fang Lang alight from the carriage.

Fang Lang’s white robe fluttered gracefully. Both his hands were resting by his sides. The Reincarnating Lotus Sword was hovering quietly at the height of his shoulders.

Fang Lang was just in the third-class realm. How did he manage to break free from the rune cage cast by the five elders from the Main Path Guild?

To be an elder in the Main Path Guild, one would need to reach at least a seven-class cursed-heaven realm.

A third-class tore through a seven-class rune cage?

This was just unreal!

However, Zhao Wuji was no fool. He quickly understood that the Reincarnating Lotus Sword ripped through the rune, not Fang Lang!

The five elders that dispersed like a dandelion stared at the Reincarnating Lotus Sword warily from afar.

Fang Lang did not threaten them but they were definitely intimidated by the Reincarnating Lotus Sword.

“There is a spiritual sense in the sword, but its power is too overwhelming.”

“This is a magical weapon! A third-class cultivator managed to destroy our rune just by controlling the sword!”

“This sword had been in the Main Path Mausoleum for decades. It must’ve absorbed a whole lot of the mausoleum’s spiritual sense. This sword is much more powerful than the Blooming Lotus Sword! Be careful everyone!”

The five elders were on high alert.

‘The reputation of a man depends on his own deeds.’

All of them also witnessed what happened in the Main Path Mausoleum. The Reincarnating Lotus Sword had absorbed a thousand years’ worth of reserve and almost turned into a magical creature!

In the roaring clouds in the night sky, Zhao Zhenshi and Huang Zhihe were in the middle of an intense battle. This was a fight between two ninth-class cultivators.

It was as if the world had fallen into a state of chaos.

However, Zhao Zhenshi still controlled the Mountain Shield Forbidden Spell Rune. Huang Zhihe was overpowered by him the entire time.

Even though the Hammer Blade Lord was ferocious, Huang Zhihe was no longer young.

From the layers of clouds, Zhao Zhenshi’s expression darkened when he saw the Reincarnating Lotus Sword defeat the five elders that were sent to capture Fang Lang.

Within the sea of clouds, Huang Zhihe bellowed with laughter with his head held high. Countless blades gathered behind him and took the form of a giant hammer.

He was pleasantly surprised when Fang Lang managed to fend off the five elders unharmed.

Huang Zhihe was a great blacksmith. He had an eye for these things. He knew that Fang Lang had not understood the sword intent of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword. That was the reason why he could wield the sword clumsily.

Fang Lang was unable to control the sword fully because he could not truly understand the depth of the sword intent as his cultivation was still too shallow.

“Xuanyuan Taihua is brilliant. The material of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword is rather ordinary but after being nurtured in the Main Path Mausoleum after a thousand years, it was considered as one of the top ten swords in the Tang Dynasty! This is truly a magical weapon!”

Huang Zhihe was delighted, but he was also in awe.

He was thoroughly impressed by Xuanyuan Taihua. Even though he was a great blacksmith, he did not have the audacity to nurture the sword with a thousand years worth of reserve from an ancient sect!

Of course, there was a hint of worry deep inside Huang Zhihe’s eyes.

They should not linger around and fight. Instead, they should leave as soon as possible. However, it was easy for Huang Zhihe to leave by himself, but it would be tricky to bring along Fang Lang, Ni Wen and Zhao Wuji.

“Fortunately Zhao Longshi isn’t here. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to escape. I shall try my best.”

Huang Zhihe let out a sigh. His hair billowed in the air as his palms stirred in a circular motion once again. The next moment, countless blade energy gathered into a hammer that charged towards Zhao Zhenshi.

In the face of Huang Zhihe, Zhao Zhenshi dared not let his guard down. Huang Zhihe was a top-grade ninth-class cultivator. He could even match with their sect leader Zhao Longshi.

Zhao Zhenshi was slightly weaker than him. The reason he was able to hold him off was because of the forbidden spell rune.

He could only depend on the elders to deal with Fang Lang.

Zhao Zhenshi refused to believe that a mere third-class could escape from the blockade formed by all the strong cultivators in the Main Path Guild just with a sword.

No matter how strong the Reincarnating Lotus Sword, ultimately, it was just a sword!

...

The Reincarnating Lotus Sword hovered around Fang Lang.

His white robe was like a shining star in the night sky. The five elders hovered in the air as they looked over Fang Lang.

Fang Lang turned around to look at Zhao Wuji.

“Uncle Zhao, take Ni Wen with you,” Fang Lang said.

Zhao Wuji’s expression changed slightly. He wanted to stay and help but after considering his fifth-class cultivation, he knew that it was not enough to fight against the Main Path Guild.

In the carriage, Ni Wen was speechless.

If Zhao Wuji could not be of help, what could she do as a second-grade cultivator?

“I’ll catch up with you guys with Old Huang,” Fang Lang continued.

Zhao Wuji nodded his head and reined in the horses. The wheels started rolling and sped off Mount Tongtian’s stone path.

The five elders did not chase after the coach.

Their goal was Fang Lang and the Reincarnating Sword that he was holding.

“The sword is just an object. Capture Fang Lang and everything will be solved!” One of the elders yelled.

After that, the five elders spaced out and tried to corner Fang Lang from all directions.

They were wary of the Reincarnating Lotus Sword, not Fang Lang.

After all, Fang Lang was still rather weak.

The five elders lunged at Fang Lang with a high-speed spinning rune in front of their bodies.

The five of them left five different colored trails in the night sky!

Fang Lang stood with his head lowered. He retrieved all the spirit crystals from the System’s cultivation resources. His body was absorbing all the spiritual energy supplied by the crystals.

The 360 orifices in his body were glowing!

However, at that moment, his body was like an endless black hole thatswallowedg all the spiritual energy.

This was because in the Main Path Mausoleum, the blade energy that Fang Lang absorbed from the 360 stone tablets was opening all of his orifices.

Fang Lang’s cultivation was growing significantly in the process of absorption of spiritual energy.

Fang Lang knew that this upgrade would not help much in his current situation, but any form of help would be beneficial.

Fang Lang’s sword mastery advanced so much that he reached the eighth-grade sword wave realm.

He was a step away from the ninth-grade sword wave.

At that moment, the five elders closed in on him together with all of the five runes as though they were trying to extrude the earth.

The Reincarnating Lotus Sword that was hovering quietly beside Fang Lang darted out.

The sword collided with one of the elder’s runes and instantly smashed it into pieces!

However, in the next moment, the scene turned blurry as if they traveled back in time.

The Reincarnating Lotus Sword returned to its original position and charged towards another elder!

The five runes all shattered into pieces and the five elders had no choice but to retreat. They were dumbfounded.

‘There’s something weird about this sword!’

“A sword intent that involves the time realm?”

One of the elders noticed something and his face twitched as he commented in shock.

“Taihua Blade Lord’s most terrifying attack was the Instant Lotus Blade and Instant Finger Flick, where thousands of eternal cycles were inflicted in an instant. These attacks seem to involve a sword intent in the time dimension. We’ve never thought that the Reincarnating Lotus Sword also harbors a sword intent of such!”

The few elders were troubled by the situation.

With the Reincarnating Lotus Sword protecting Fang Lang, it was impossible for them to reach him!

That sword was like a monstrous beast guarding Fang Lang.

Above the sea of clouds, Zhao Zhenshi glanced at the five elders and roared, “Useless!”

All five of the seven-class cultivators were defeated by a third-class cultivator.

If word got out, they would be the joke of the century!

Fang Lang opened his eyes slowly. He had exhausted all the spirit crystals in the System when he reached the eighth-grade sword wave realm. Unfortunately, it was not enough for Fang Lang to reach the ninth-level. If he did, he could activate the Grade-Rush Card to try to break through the fourth-class sword intent realm.

If he reached the fourth-class sword intent realm, Fang Lang’s half-baked Sword Nurturing Spell might work!

However, Fang Lang was also troubled by the five elders.

After all, the Reincarnating Lotus Sword was not under his control. The sword intent that he triggered had activated the sword’s automated host-protection ability.

Furthermore, Fang Lang also predicted that the Reincarnating Lotus Sword protected him because the five elders’ cultivation was too strong. If they were Main Path Guild’s disciples in the fourth-class realm or five-class realm, it might not attack them.

...

The sea of clouds billowed in the dark sky like a tidal bore.

The sea of clouds was split into half as if a white python was slithering through it.

Blade energy circulated Chao Xiaojian’s body as if he was an undefeatable blade lord.

He soared forward and Mount Tongtian of the Main Path Guild entered his vision.

The moment Chao Xiaojian appeared, Zhao Zhenshi’s face dropped.

He raised his head and met eyes with Chao Xiaojian, who roared past thousands of miles on his sword!

This white-haired Chao Xiaojian had just eliminated the entire Donglu Sword League!

Even the Main Path Guild was wary of him!

Chao Xiaojian and Huang Zhihe were the two greatest cultivators in sword mastery.

If he wanted to leave with Fang Lang, the Main Path Guild might not be able to stop him from leaving, especially in the absence of Zhao Longshi.

Chao Xiaojian hovered in the sky. He did not interfere with the fight between Zhao Zhenshi and Huang Zhihe.

He took a step forward and started plummeting like a meteor.

He traveled at an extreme speed.

The five elders who surrounded Fang Lang felt a chill run down their spine.

The next moment, Chao Xiaojian landed on his toes silently. A wave of energy spread from his body.

“Stopping people from leaving because he removed a sword? Is this the principle of the Main Path Guild? I’ve mentioned that I will kill anyone who laid hands on Fang Lang!” Chao Xiaojian said coldly.

He slapped his palm onto the ground. Instantly, a surge of blade energy erupted from the ground and charged towards the five elders.

Bang!

The five elders fused their runes into one hurriedly to withstand the attack.

However, a sword came crashing down and shattered the rune. The five elders were sent flying and vomited blood.

Chao Xiaojian was unbothered by the fact that he had defeated five elders from the Main Path Guild in one move as if this was a common event.

He glanced briefly at Zhao Zhenshi and Huang Zhihe, who were fighting in the air and calculated the possibility for Huang Zhihe to get himself out of the battle.

Then, he turned his head to look at Fang Lang, who the Reincarnating Lotus Sword was protecting.

The Reincarnating Lotus Sword was floating quietly. Chao Xiaojian’s eyes wavered emotionally.

This was his senior’s sword. He could sense her breath inside the sword.

After that, Chao Xiaojian leaped up without hesitation, tossed out a stream of blade energy to wrap Fang Lang with it and tried to leave the Main Path Guild with him.

The five injured elders did not dare to stop him.

Chao Xiaojian could kill them easily if he wanted.

Therefore, they could only watch Chao Xiaojian leave together with Fang Lang and the Reincarnating Lotus Sword.

However, the moment Chao Xiaojian hoisted Fang Lang off the ground, and the world fell silent.

A long sigh echoed through the entire Main Path Guild.

Then, a mighty energy shot out from the Main Path Mausoleum as if an ancient dragon with an indestructible pressure had awoken.

Chao Xiaojian and Huang Zhihe were stunned.

The transcendental presence of the Main Path Guild was still alive!
