Chapter 195: Jade Water True Sword, Clouds and Water Fill the Sky

“Senior Martial Brother He is going to lose,” Liu Daoxuan said, shaking his head as he watched the screen of light projected in the great hall.

“It seems that Zhang Yangui can bring out about…50% of the might of his Psychic Magic Treasure sword,” Xu Disheng said, not refuting him. He examined the water-blue sword in Zhang Yangui’s hand, his gaze reacting slightly.

“No, that sword is called the Jade Ocean True Sword, and its rank is extremely close to a Profound Treasure. Just 10% of its might is more than enough to compare to 50% of the might of any typical Psychic Magic Treasure, which is what leads people to believe that he can exert a high level of control over a Psychic Magic Treasure,” Liu Daoxuan explained. “At the Sea of Qi stage, it’s only possible to bring out about 10% of the might of any Psychic Magic Treasure. It has more to do with one’s profound qi cultivation. Even an unparalleled genius like Zhang Yangui isn’t able to break this rule. Of course, your precious seal-type Psychic Magic Treasure, the Fierce Specter War Chariot, doesn’t face such a restriction.”

A seal-type Psychic Magic Treasure normally had a monster, ghost, or some other type of being sealed inside, and most of their power came from the seals themselves. Every time a seal was released, the might of the treasure would become stronger.

However… seal-type Psychic Magic Treasures like this, while precious, were less effective the higher one’s profound qi cultivation was.

It was still useful at the Dao Foundation stage, but at the Divine Core stage, any Psychic Magic Treasure could exhibit incredible might capable of splitting rivers and parting oceans! At that stage, seal-type Psychic Magic Treasures were practically useless. Whatever living being was sealed inside could be extinguished by a Divine Core stage cultivator with a wave of their hand.

Seal-type Psychic Magic Treasures were only eagerly sought after at the Sea of Qi and Dao Foundation stages. Not only were they extremely rare, but there simply weren’t enough being sold to meet the demand. To get his hands on the Fierce Specter War Chariot, Xu Disheng had spent over 80,000 spirit stones, which was pretty much all of the spirit stones he had at the time.

Liu Daoxuan was the 2nd ranked genius of the Seventh Mountain, Fengzhou Mountain Range. He had gone out of his way to visit Xu Disheng’s great hall to watch the tournament with him, clearly harboring intentions to get on his good side.

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Daoxuan spoke again. “Now that you’ve entered the top 5, do you intend to aim for the title of Sacred Son, Senior Martial Brother Xu? As far as I can see, there aren’t any other people who would stand a chance against you in the top 5 aside from Zhang Yangui.”

“Zhang Yangui is crushing Senior Martial Brother He, but he hasn’t even used his full strength yet. His strength is truly immeasurable. I can’t be sure about winning against him,” Xu Disheng said, not bothering with modesty in the slightest.

After all, he had already beaten Mo Yue. He had revealed his true strength and now, his meteoric rise couldn’t be stopped. Aside from Zhang Yangui, no one dared to say they could beat Xu Disheng in battle.

“I heard that you normally spend your time meditating, Senior Martial Brother Xu, so you might not know too much about Zhang Yangui. I have a jade slip here that might help you a bit,” Liu Daoxuan said, taking out a jade slip and laying it on the table.

Xu Disheng looked at the jade slip, but didn’t reach to pick it up. He simply lifted his gaze and looked at Liu Daoxuan.

Liu Daoxuan gave a bitter smile and said, “The Fengzhou Mountain Range is too weak. We might as well be considered worse off than the Eighth Mountain, Zhuri Mountain Range. If you obtain the title of Sacred Son, you will definitely be granted a Mountain Peak in the Mingxin Mountain Range, and also granted a position as a Peak Master. I hope that when that time comes, you won’t forget to help me out a bit.”

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Disheng picked up the jade slip and said, “Fine.”

“Then Junior Martial Brother will take his leave here. I still have to prepare for my top 10 battle with Xu Zimo. It will be taking place shortly,” Liu Daoxuan said.

“Go on then.”

The two of them didn’t even bring up the situation where Xu Disheng lost to Zhang Yangui and didn’t obtain the title of Sacred Son.

Clearly, Xu Disheng’s chances of beating Zhang Yangui were extremely small. When Liu Daoxuan came to show his goodwill, he was only betting on that tiny possibility that Xu Disheng might win. Even if Xu Disheng lost, he would still have a favorable relationship with an unparalleled genius, so there was no harm to him no matter what happened.

As the rank 2 genius in the Fengzhou Mountain Range, Liu Daoxuan wasn’t willing to settle in the Seventh Mountain since it was too small.

But if Xu DIsheng really obtained the title of Sacred Son, he would definitely be given a new Mountain Peak, and the share of cultivation resources he would receive from the sect would be extremely generous. He had a great potential to rise even further beyond.

Feng Shao, the Sacred Son from fifty years ago, was now already a Divine Core stage Spirit Master, and was firmly ruling over the top 3 Mountain Peaks in his Mountain Range, possessing incredible levels of authority.

The several genius disciples that had chosen to follow him were now all Peak Master-level existences due to his support, receiving a great return for their initial choice.

“Zhang Yangui, born in the Shangqing Mountain Range’s Yuluo Realm. He is the direct grandson of one of the three Realm Masters of the Yuluo Realm, Realm Master Qingfu. He is the central figure in the matter with the Burning Heart Sword.”

“Rank 3 Spiritual Root talent. Cultivated under Red Lotus Primordial Lord’s guidance for a few decades.”

“The Psychic Magic Treasures he is known to possess include the Jade Water True Sword, the Spirit Trapping Ring, the Heartlock Sword Array, and the Universe Overturning Seal.”

“He also possesses several cultivation methods, including the Red Lotus Heartflame, Tranquil Incantation, True Jade Water Scripture, and Five Element Rotation.”

“His true combat power is similar to that of an ordinary Dao Foundation stage disciple of the Shangqing Sacred Sect.”

“In the past, he once slayed 3 peak transformation stage monsters through his own strength alone.”

… …

Xu Disheng put down the jade slip and looked at the massive screen of light in the great hall.

Zhang Yangui was wielding the Jade Water True Sword, each swing sending out waves of sword light that swept across the entire arena. Each strike was clad in inexhaustible water elemental energy. In only around ten moves, he defeated He Junyu, who then left the sea of clouds.

The True Jade Water Scripture was also a water element cultivation method, and it included the three spells contained in the Jade Water True Sword. Although He Junyu had acquired the inheritance of Vast Ocean Primordial Lord and his secret water Dao techniques, he was only able to hold out for a few moves before being overpowered and beaten down.

The Azure Ocean cultivation method that He Junyu practiced was only a Divine Core stage Spirit Master’s cultivation method. It couldn’t compare to Zhang Yangui’s True Jade Water Scripture, which was why it was futile to use a water element cultivation method to confront Zhang Yangui.

Mo Yue’s Starfire Record had three Dao Foundation stage spells, but she had to use practically all of her hidden trump cards in the fight against Xu Disheng. If he hadn’t completely comprehended his Dao Path at that moment, awakening the Paramount Ancient Bell, he probably would have already been eliminated from the Eight Mountains Grand Tournament.

Zhang Yangui had always overshadowed Mo Yue, so how could he be inferior to her in any way?

… …

In the sea of clouds, the battles of the top 10 had already finished. In the Sea of Qi division of the Eight Mountains Tournament, only the top 5 now remained.

Of the five disciples who had managed to make it here among the tens of thousands of disciples who had initially participated, every single one was an unparalleled genius that was undoubtedly worthy of the sect’s full support. But in the end, only one person would take first place and receive the title of a Sacred Son of the Shangqing Sacred Sect.

“Luck is also a type of strength,” Cloud Stream Spirit Master said as he looked at Xu Disheng and the other 4 remaining geniuses, implied meaning lurking in his words.

With a wave of his hand, two golden lines wriggled and glowed on the list of names, matching the contestants.

After a while, the golden lines stopped moving, and four of the names were paired together, illuminated in a dim glow.

Shangqing Mountain Range’s Zhang Yangui versus Refining Heart Mountain Range’s Ji Haohan.

Mingxin Mountain Range’s Xu Disheng versus Mengyang Mountain Range’s Xu Zimo.

And one name, which hadn’t ever drawn much of anyone’s attention, was You Shao, the rank 1 genius of the Fengzhou Mountain Range, who had received a bye for this round.

“Throughout the entire tournament, You Shao has always received really average opponents. Now he managed to get a bye. Isn’t his luck the only good thing about him?” a Dao Foundation stage Deacon said doubtfully, looking at You Shao’s completely average and uninteresting facial features.

“There’s a pretty big difference between the rewards for finishing in the top 3 compared to the top 5. By getting a bye, You Shao directly makes it to the top 3. His luck is way too good.” Many people spoke about him with ridicule apparent in their tones, casting sour glances in his direction.

“In the top 10 battles just now, You Shao was only able to win against Zhuri Mountain Range’s Zhao Xiuyong because Zhao Xiuyong suffered a backlash from the monster he was controlling…”

“What do you know? The cultivation method that You Shao cultivates, the Luck Converging Technique, can move the mysterious forces of luck to allow him to encounter great benefits and avoid disastrous outcomes. It can only be called a miraculous technique.”
