Chapter 1401: The True Meaning of Gold

have some bonds of affection. Mrs. Frost-Order, farewell."After several years of the Buddha's return, the once dilapidated headquarters of the Buddhist sect has regained its former glory, with lush v...Soon, Zhao Tianyang let out another low growl. The golden light from the whale-tendon gold sword bloomed again. The golden light slowly rotated within Lu Xiaoteng's sword domain. Wherever it passed, the sword intent floating within Lu Xiaoteng's sword domain continuously dissipated.

Lu Xiaitian's expression turned solemn. He no longer had that scattered sword intent. Without sword intent, this sword domain was like a tree without roots; there was nothing left to kill with. The opponent's mastery of the sword path was no less than his own. When technique wasn't an advantage, it came down to the foundation and pureness of their magical power, how vast and powerful it was.

This person's methods are absolutely not inferior to Xiao Jing Lei and the head of the Mangxiao family! Lu Xia Tian's heart skipped a beat, the opponent's methods were far from exhausted. Now that he was fighting him in a war of attrition, it was clear that he wanted to force him to use other divine skills. With unyielding defense against all changes, he would resolve them one by one.

“My sword formation can't be set up, and your whale whisker sword may not necessarily do anything to me. To tell you the truth, those who fight against people with the Shifting Mirror and Blink Mirror are not just from Zhao Clan in Lingzhenxu Secret Realm. Another branch of your Zhao Clan could also come at any time. Even if you defeat me, you may not ultimately get what you want.”

Lu Xia Tian, while controlling the Sword Embryo and battling against the Whale Whisker Sword, refuted with a voice.

"Another Zhao Clan member, kid. Looks like you know quite a bit," Zhao Tianyang said unconcernedly.

“Although they are a different branch of the Zhao clan, they share the same roots as you. They have united with demonkind and released a demigod-level demon. Your Zhao clan is truly daring to commit the greatest taboo in the world!”

Lu Xiaottian was speaking when a golden sword light flashed, and the ethereal sword embryo was already entangled by the opponent's whale-whisker gold sword. The eight flying swords standing around in mid-air lacked sufficient support and could not exert enough power to harm the enemy. Zhao Tianyang saw that for a moment, he couldn't do anything about the ethereal sword embryo, so he focused on entangling the sword embryo and attacked Lu Xiaottian's main body, trying to find another breakthrough.

Lu Xia Tian remained calm, pulling out a punch from the void. On his palm, the Ruyi battle armor appeared, forming an ancient silvery boxing glove. He stepped into a battle formation, and the extreme power of the blood-colored energy directly shattered the golden sword light.

Tado Bu Gang, a Yuan Ying stage cultivator. Zhao Tianyang's expression changed slightly. Although he knew from Zhao Zhonglei and Zhao Xin that the silver-haired young man in front of him was not an ordinary person and his strength should not be underestimated, when they truly fought, he felt even more how difficult this boy was to deal with. His Whale Must Sword could indeed suppress the opponent's sword embryo, but the ethereal sword embryo was also extremely tough, and it was impossible to crush it in a short time. Moreover, the part of his sword energy that attacked was unable to penetrate the opponent's defense at all.

This way of fighting is still a stalemate. I originally wanted to force the opponent to reveal their methods, but it seems like things didn't go as planned.

But Zhao Tianyang was stunned by Lu Xiaodao's words, "A Maohun of the Hualing level, is this true"

“I don't have time to waste on these useless arguments with you. Although you are a branch of the Zhao clan, this account will ultimately be settled with your entire clan. The more carnage caused by that Nascent Soul level demon, the deeper the sin of your clan will become! Just wait for the entire race to denounce you!” Lu Xia Tian continuously threw punches, smashing the golden sword light flying towards him.

"It seems that it's even more important to bring the Displacement Mirror and Instantaneous Mirror back to the clan. Otherwise, if they fall into the hands of the branch family, the consequences would be unimaginable. Boy, this is your last chance. Once I use this method, you won't be able to control yourself either." Zhao Tianyang roared with anger. "Do whatever you want!" Lu Xiaotien retorted bravely.

"Well, since you seek your own death, then don't blame me."

Zhao Tianyang's eyes flashed with killing intent. He roared, his finger pointing at the void. The Whale Whisker Sword emitted a brilliant cold light like the sun, giving people an illusion of invincibility and extreme sharpness. But Lu Xiaoteng knew this was no illusion. This situation was vaguely similar to when Xiang Kuang unleashed the true meaning of earth back then.

“The true meaning of gold!” Lu Xia Tian cried out in surprise. To be able to use such means, his strength was already above the Six Great Masters.

"Good, this is the true meaning of gold that this old man has realized over the past hundred years. Gold is invincible and can break anything. With the help of the Whalebone Sword, even though your flying sword combined into a sword embryo is formidable, it is nothing more than a few moves for this old man!" Zhao Tianyang's eyes were filled with complacency. True meaning is the fundamental principle of Taoism. It directly points to the five element Dao source. Once comprehended, one's strength will advance by leaps and bounds. Even ordinary great cultivators would find it difficult to resist its edge. As powerful as this kid in front of him is, he is merely at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul."

The true meaning of the Five Elements points directly to the origin of Taoist principles, yet due to their different natures, they diverge greatly. Xiang Kuang belongs to the Earth element, and when the true essence of Earth is released, even the Golden Flame Tiger Ant of the Mawang family would find it hard to escape.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Lu Xia Tian's face was grave, but there was also a hint of relief. The golden light, comparable to the sun in its intensity and sharpness, appeared out of nowhere. As soon as it manifested, the ethereal sword embryo that was locked in combat with him trembled violently. After several impacts, a tiny crack appeared on the ethereal sword embryo.

“Good job! Such indestructible golden essence!” This was the first time someone had injured his flying sword since it became a sword embryo. A tinge of pain flashed in Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes. The damaged flying sword would probably need to be re-refined with the Netherfrost Sword Orchid to regain its original power.

"Haha, how is my Whale-Tusk Sword Even within the Zhao clan, there are only a few who can withstand my flying sword. You are also quite proud to be able to do so!" Zhao Tianyang saw Lu Xiaoteng's ethereal sword embryo damaged and burst into laughter. The other party was a Yuan Ying stage body cultivator, so what They couldn't even block his Whale-Tusk Sword. Even if their fleshly body was harder, it would still be cut in two with a single strike.

“Not bad, but a pity!” Lu Xiaoteng’s heart was filled with anger, but his voice remained unnaturally calm. The ethereal sword embryo in the air, wounded but not broken, felt its competitive spirit ignited. It surged forward instead of retreating.

“Stubborn!” Zhao Tianyang no longer wasted words. In fact, his control over this golden true essence was extremely limited. He could only release a portion of it through the Whalebone Sword, but he couldn't control it at will to harm his enemy. Otherwise, Lu Xiaofeng's ethereal sword embryo wouldn't have only suffered such minor wounds just now.

"Is that so" Lu Xia Tian narrowed his eyes, tossing out a box. The box opened, and an empty sword sheath flew out. The sheath flickered with a faint light, and the previously swaggering Whale Whisker Sword was now being irresistibly drawn towards the empty sheath.

“What... what kind of treasure is this” Seeing his Whale’s Tendon Sword almost out of control, even Zhao Tianyang, despite his profound magic power and rich experience, couldn't help but be startled. He hurriedly controlled the Whale’s Tendon Sword, wanting to retract it. But at this moment, Lu Xiaoteng's ethereal sword embryo took advantage of the situation and came like a rainbow piercing the sun.

Zhao Tianyang extended his finger, and a massive sword qi blocked the ethereal sword embryo.e, they should be kept here. Why let them go" Ao Zhan said in confusion. To him, the threat posed by Du Xin and Lu Xia tian was too great. Once news from this side leaked, the consequences would be tr...
