Chapter 587: The Understanding Between the Ghost Venerable a
defeated by Cheng Tao of your esteemed establishment last time, I have been in seclusion to cultivate. Now that my injuries are healed, I intend to challenge Cheng Tao once again to settle the score....“This must be the sword embryo left behind by the ethereal Venerable, a Dao Yuan sword embryo interwoven between ethereal nothingness and reality. It's formidable, worthy of being the strongest cultivator in the Azure Demon Sea back then.” The Ghost Venerable exclaimed in astonishment. Although they both held the title of Venerable, he never considered himself on par with the Ethereal Venerable.
"Sword Embryo!" In another place not far away, a figure clumsily dashed out of the chaos, staring at the sky with disbelief. Soon, his face was filled with ecstasy, "Found it, finally found it! Inform the master about the Sword Embryo, once the master obtains this Sword Embryo, even a Yuan Ying cultivator will have to avoid him. At that time, getting a Nascent Soul Pill from him will be a small matter!"
With a look of longing, Jue Yuan seemed to have seen the moment when Jue Xin Dao was overjoyed and generously rewarded him.
“As for who I am, it seems I’m the disciple of Juexin Daoist.” The shadow paused, the Ghost Venerable's black robe rustled in the wind, his sleeves flicked, and he looked at Jue Yuan with a hint of unfathomable meaning in his eyes.
“So the two senior masters have arrived, this junior has been disrespectful.” When Jue Yuan saw Ghost Venerable and Xiong Ao, his heart skipped a beat. He was just about to inform his master Jue Xin Dao Ren, who wasn't too far away, but he didn't expect things to turn out this way. It wasn't his master who came, but instead these two nefarious fellows, Ghost Venerable and Xiong Ao.

“Indeed, it was rude of me. I’ve long disliked that scruffy fellow, Juexin. He’s a self-important jerk. No wonder he parted ways with us halfway. It seems he discovered the peculiarity of this place early on. If not for our chance encounter here, I’m afraid Juexin would have gotten his hands on that supreme sword embryo left behind by the ethereal Venerable.” Xiong Ao sneered with a cold smile on his furry face.
"Master, Senior misunderstood. I...I was just..." Jue Yuan's heart sank instantly upon hearing this, and he felt like an ant on a hot pan, anxious and restless.
"I presume you're eager to inform Juexin, but your people can't leave. Perhaps your soul essence could escape a bit faster," he said with a cruel glint in his eyes as he looked at the distant figure of the Anti-Reverend.
Suddenly, Jue Yuan felt his hairs stand on end. Without a word, he turned and ran. Although the sword energy around them was chaotic and the formations were beginning to collapse, most of the sword energy was attracted by the transparent sphere formed in the air, forming an unparalleled sword embryo. It wasn't as threatening to cultivators as before. Only where the formations collapsed, if a Golden Core cultivator was caught inside, it would be very dangerous. Usually, Jue Yuan would never dare run around like this.
But hearing the tone of Ghost Venerable and Bear Toil, he didn't dare to stay any longer.
The speed was extraordinary even among Jindan cultivators. As he was already a late-stage Jindan cultivator, and under the threat of a Yuan Ying demon, he erupted with all his might, reaching speeds of twelve parts. In the blink of an eye, he had moved over a hundred zhang away.
The Ghost Venerable didn't even raise an eyelid, extending a finger to send out a few wisps of black qi. Those wisps of black qi floated lightly, appearing unremarkable at first glance, but in an instant they reached far ahead, wrapping around Jue Yuan.
Jueyuan's face stiffened. The black qi entering his body turned his complexion and skin a sickly greenish-black. Before, he had been healthy and radiant, with rosy skin and a well-defined forehead. Now, however, he was drying up at an alarming rate, as if a hole had been punched through him.

Just then, Jueyuan let out a heart-wrenching shriek under the onslaught of black energy. In the end, even his soul escaped not, his robes becoming too loose and falling away to reveal a skeletal figure whose bones pressed tightly against his skull. In the blink of an eye, a Golden Core late-stage cultivator met such a tragic end. If Chiyun Sang and the others saw this scene, they would be astonished beyond measure. All they could do was lament the difference in fate, for Jueyuan’s cultivation base was not vastly different from theirs. The fortunate thing was that Chiyun Sang and the others had only encountered stand-ins of Nascent Soul Ancestors and demon cultivators, while Jueyuan had faced the true being.
"Seems like those youngsters will have to escape this time for now." Regarding the death of Jue Yuan, Xiong Ao didn't even raise an eyelid. He kept his hands on his hips and watched the sword embryo above his head continue to grow larger.
"Those little brats may be expendable, but compared to this sword embryo, they are insignificant. Even though you and I are not practitioners of this path, obtaining this sword embryo would not allow us to exert greater threat with it. However, the aura left by the Piao Miao Venerable behind this sword embryo is so terrifying. Even if we obtain a fraction of it, even if we cannot grow it further afterward, it would be enough to cultivate a school of swordsmanship supernatural powers. With the power of this sword embryo, ordinary cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to be our opponents." A greedy and regretful expression appeared on the Ghost Venerable's face.
"It seems that the cultivation base and strength of the ethereal Venerable are far beyond ours. Even in death, he can leave behind his swordsmanship, using this forbidden power to seal himself and become thousands. Once the situation changes, he can regroup. Such magical powers are probably already close to the methods of transforming into a god." Even though Xiong Aro was as arrogant as ever, he now sighed, "This sword embryo is so powerful that even the two of us would find it difficult to collect the entire ethereal sword embryo. The eccentric Taoist will probably arrive soon. What do you think we should do about him"
“Under no circumstances can we allow the Jiantai to fall into the hands of Juexin Dao Ren. Although he doesn't cultivate the sword path, swords and knives share similarities. Once he obtains the Jiantai and refines it, his mastery in the dao of knives will undoubtedly soar. Even with the combined strength of you and me, we may not be a match for him. This Jiantai is too important to Juexin Dao Ren; once he gains an overwhelming advantage, any benefits we might have earned will likely be taken back by him. We don't cultivate this path, and the time it takes to refine the Jiantai is far slower than Juexin Dao Ren's. If he truly surpasses us both in power, I fear that when we encounter him again, this Juexin Dao Ren may not hesitate to strike us down.” Gui Zun said with a resolute tone.
"It seems that we can't let Juexin Daoist get this treasure." Xiong Ao was startled. He was a demon cultivator, practicing the inherited methods of the Beidu Xue Xiong clan, and he wasn't familiar with this path. Hearing Gui Zun say about the serious consequences, Xiong Ao couldn't help but shiver. Originally, his strength with Gui Zun and Juexin Daoist were comparable. Even if Juexin Daoist was slightly stronger, it wouldn't be much. Suddenly seeing someone whose strength was originally similar to his own far surpassing him, Xiong Ao naturally felt uncomfortable in his heart. Besides, there were many treasures in the Miaomiao Hall. If the balance of power was broken, would he have to avoid Juexin Daoist in the future He couldn't bear it. This sword embryo was good to get, but it wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't get it. However, he and Gui Zun absolutely couldn't allow Juexin Daoist to obtain it and become a huge threat to them both.
