Book 7: Chapter 004: Sha vs. Sect Master Heavenly Access

“We are here!” Gu Hai’s frosty voice came from behind.

When the icy voice rang out, Xuan Du showed great horror on his face, as Gu Hai’s saber stabbing through his chest had sealed all his energy.

When did Gu Hai arrive? Why did I not sense it?

Xuan Du wanted to shout, but with his cultivation sealed, he could not make any loud sounds.

Gu Hai had the Gu’s Immortal Firmament. How could Xuan Du notice him?

“How did you-you-you escape? That’s impossible! That’s impossible! That’s the Taiji Diagram! The real Taiji Diagram!” Xuan Du stammered in despair.

His voice was raised, but the Gu’s Immortal Firmament had already wrapped around the room, preventing any sound from escaping.

“Good thing I arrived in time. How close, Xuan Du!” Gu Hai pulled out the Life Executioner Saber with a ferocious expression.

Boom!

Xuan Du’s internal organs exploded when Gu Hai retracted the Life Executioner Saber.

While Xuan Du appeared fine on the outside, his insides were a mess.

“You…you…don’t kill me. I only did this because of the sect master’s order! I was just obeying the sect master!” Xuan Du pleaded with horror in his voice.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes at Xuan Du. Then, he looked at Lin Waner, who was twitching on the bed, and hatred filled his heart.

“Humph!”

Snorting coldly, Gu Hai landed a palm strike on Xuan Du, bloodying him, then walked to the bed.

At this moment, Lin Waner’s eyes were dazed, unable to see anything clearly. She only called out softly, “Gu Hai, Gu Hai, I’m suffering.”

Gu Hai felt heartache as he looked at Lin Waner. He extended his hand and sent in some energy through her back.

Boom!

Gu Hai forced out the medicine in Lin Waner’s body.

Blargh!

Lin Waner vomited the medicine in her body with some blood.

After she vomited the medicine, her blush faded, and she stopped twitching. Then, she looked at Gu Hai weakly.

“Waner, I was late,” Gu Hai said gently.

“You are here?” Lin Waner revealed a bleak smile as she slowly closed her eyes and fainted.

Gu Hai did not try to wake Lin Waner up. Instead, he gently carried her and walked to Xuan Du, who had fallen to the floor.

“I did not touch her! I have not touched her yet! Let me off! It was the sect master! It was the sect master who told me to do this!” the blood-covered Xuan Du begged.

Gu Hai showed a cold look in his eyes.

——

On the third day, before the start of the grand wedding, Lin Waner’s room:

“First Senior Brother, the auspicious hour is about to arrive. Are you up yet?” one of Xuan Du’s junior brothers called out from outside.

However, not a single sound came from the room.

“First Senior Brother, it is about to begin! The sect master will arrive soon! Quickly get up!” the junior brothers urged anxiously.

However, there was still no sound from the room.

“What’s going on? Is First Senior Brother not in there?”

“You, go take a look!”

The group sent a servant to check.

“Ah!” That servant shrieked when he opened the door. Then, he fell to his knees.

Everyone immediately rushed over.

“First Senior Brother?”

“Ah!”

Gasp!

Everyone appeared horrified.

They saw Xuan Du covered in blood with his sword stabbing him through the forehead and pinning him to the roof beam.

Beside him was a length of cloth with words written in blood. It looked like a flag fluttering.

“The Supreme Ascendant perished, and the Myriad Age died!”

No one could make out who had written these words. However, they could see contempt in these bloody words.

The Supreme Ascendant died, so the Myriad Age Daoist Sect is only alive in name but is actually dead?

Who wrote this?

“Something went massively wrong!” a Supreme Ascendant Dao’s disciple said with an unsightly expression.

“Quickly! Inform the sect master!” the Supreme Ascendant Dao’s disciples exclaimed in horror.

Sect Master Heavenly Access had just come out from closed-door cultivation to refine the Four Immortal Executioner Swords when he heard this shocking news.

Whoosh!

Sect Master Heavenly Access instantly arrived at the room where Xuan Du died.

Upon seeing Xuan Du pinned to the roof beam, Sect Master Heavenly Access emanated an overwhelming murderous intent from his body.

Due to the suppression of the murderous intent, the surrounding Myriad Age Daoist Sect disciples did not dare to say anything. At the same time, they wondered who was so bold as to kill Xuan Du and take the Supreme Ascendant Dao’s Grand Mohist away. Furthermore, that person even left such mocking words behind.

“Gu Hai? Hahahaha! How bold of you! Humph!” Sect Master Heavenly Access snorted coldly while glaring.

This cold snort contained immense fury.

Blargh! Blargh!

Although the fury was not directed at the disciples, some still vomited blood from its impact.

Whoosh!

Sect Master Heavenly Access’s figure flashed, vanishing.

After Sect Master Heavenly Access left, the surrounding people suddenly slumped to the floor, showing horrified expressions.

Sect Master Heavenly Access appeared outside the Heavenly Access Hall the next moment.

Gu Hai escaped? He killed Xuan Du and took Lin Waner away? How did he escape? What happened to the Taiji Diagram?

Outside the Heavenly Access Hall, he saw several unconscious disciples in the surroundings.

“That bastard!” Heavenly Access snorted coldly.

Blargh!

The unconscious disciples vomited a mouthful of blood as they were all shocked awake.

“Sect Master?”

“Sect Master, please forgive us!”

“Sect Master, we were unaware!”

The disciples felt horrified, but Sect Master Heavenly Access ignored them as he extended his hand to open the doors.

Creak!

When the doors opened, countless azure-colored sword qi rushed out from the initially empty interior.

Boom!

Millions of azure-colored sword qi soared into the sky. A powerful azure-colored sword conception sent a shock wave surging out in all directions.

Buzz!

The swords of nearly everyone in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect started trembling and buzzing as though worshiping this sword conception.

Despite how exquisite this sword conception was, it was useless on Sect Master Heavenly Access. A large azure-colored sword lotus slowly bloomed in the center of the hall, showing thirty-two petals, each petal like an azure sword with countless sword qi surrounding it.

Sha sat cross-legged in the center of the sword lotus.

When Sect Master Heavenly Access pushed the doors wide, Sha opened his eyes, shooting out two beams of three-meter-long azure-colored sword light from them.

Buzz!

All the sword qi, sword conception, and the sword lotus withdrew into Sha’s body.

Everything earlier seemed like an illusion. No evidence of it remained as Sha stood up slowly.

Sha was still Sha. However, his eyes seemed incomparably bright, like two resplendent stars scintillating with dazzling light.

“Did you let Gu Hai go?” Sect Master Heavenly Access asked with a sullen expression.

Sha was a disciple from one of Heavenly Access’s branches; Heavenly Access’s line of inheritance had many branches. Sect Master Heavenly Access extremely greatly valued Sha’s branch due to his overwhelming talent. Heavenly Access felt that Sha was like a younger version of himself, and was preparing to take Sha as a personal disciple. To think Sha dared to do something like this today?

“I let Gu Hai go.” Sha nodded.

“How audacious!” Heavenly Access shouted coldly.

Boom!

An intense pressure pressed on Sha.

Sha turned solemn and grasped his sword hilt, enduring Sect Master Heavenly Access’s pressure.

“Sect Master, I was obeying Sect Master Supreme Ascendant’s instructions to correct you from your wrong path,” Sha said gravely.

“What did you say?” Sect Master Heavenly Access demanded coldly.

“As you know, I met Sect Master Supreme Ascendant, and he gave me some instructions. You might be his junior brother, but his master had entrusted the Myriad Age Daoist Sect to him. He did not want the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s inheritance to end in his generation,” Sha said solemnly.

“Huh?” Heavenly Access glared.

“You trampled on the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s rules and buried Sect Master Supreme Ascendant’s efforts. You may be the sect master, but I do not accept that,” Sha said coldly.

“Hah! Hahahaha! You overestimate yourself. You do not accept that? What are you? You are just a branch from the Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s sword inheritance. Your sword Dao came from me! To think you dare to refuse to submit with just that? Do you think you can lecture this sect master?” Sect Master Heavenly Access glared.

Boom!

A powerful purple sword conception rushed at Sha.

“Sword conception? Humph!” Sha glared back.

Boom!

An azure sword conception rushed at Sect Master Heavenly Access.

The two sword conceptions were very dense, like two swords made of purple and azure light clashing in the air.

Dang!

The sword tips collided, sending out a powerful shock wave of sword qi.

Boom!

The powerful shock wave shattered the entire Heavenly Access Hall and knocked the oncoming disciples into the air. They gaped in horror.

“The Azure Lotus Young Master is opposing the sect master?”

“Has the Azure Lotus Young Master gone mad? The sect master’s sword Dao is the strongest in the world. To think he dares to clash with the sect master?”

Horror appeared on countless disciples’ faces.

Sha scowled ferociously. Heavenly Access glared, appearing shocked at Sha’s sword conception blocking his sword conception.

This is impossible! No one in the world has a sword conception as ferocious as mine!

No, there are two people. One was the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s holy sword, and the other was the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access. However, the Severed Sect’s Heavenly Access is already dead.

Rumble…!

As the two sword conceptions clashed, purple and azure sword qi revolved around the two, increasing in number. They obscured the view of the people in the surroundings, who only felt an alarming might radiating from inside.

“All along, I thought that the sect master’s sword Dao was the strongest in the world, that you were the strongest sword cultivator in the world. Now, I discovered it was not true. You are not worthy of the title of the strongest sword Dao in the world,” Sha said coldly.

“Hah! This sect master is not worthy? Then, you are?” Sect Master Heavenly Access said coldly.

“Not me. It’s Sect Master Supreme Ascendant. Sect Master Supreme Ascendant’s sword is the strongest in the world,” Sha said seriously.

“What did you say?” Heavenly Access demanded coldly.

“Sect Master Supreme Ascendant’s sword is a sword of benevolence. He was willing to die for all life. Can you do that?” Sha asked coldly.

“Huh?” Heavenly Access’s expression turned cold.

“Your sword Dao is just a minor Dao. Although it is sharp, that is just appearances. Sect Master Supreme Ascendant’s sword is the true great Dao of swords. All life as a sword, a sword Dao with a self-sacrificial benevolence. It can cut the sky, the earth, and everything in the immortal firmament!” Sha roared.

Boom!

A loud report rang out. A faint crack suddenly appeared in Sect Master Heavenly Access’s purple sword conception.

To think that the purple sword conception appeared weaker! To think Sha’s sword Dao suppressed Sect Master Heavenly Access’s sword Dao!

Lose to Sha? How can this be? My sword Dao is the strongest in the world. How can I lose to this disciple?

“How audacious!” Heavenly Access glared.

Heavenly Access drew the Immortal Executioner Sword, and a purple light immediately filled the world.

Boom!

Sha got blasted back.

Blargh!

Sha spewed a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground.

Sha had won by a hair in sword conception. However, Sect Master Heavenly Access was much stronger. So what if you won by a hair? Before great strength, you still lost in one move.

Heavenly Access’s embarrassment turned into rage. He swung the Immortal Executioner Sword again, looking like he would kill Sha in one sword strike.
