Chapter 759
Mount Tai, Taiping Peak.
A figure sat cross-legged at the edge of the cliff by the sea of clouds, as if he heard movement behind him, he slowly opened his eyes, a divine light swirling within them, impossible to look at directly.
Daoist Zhang gazed at the distant sea of clouds and the rising sun, and slowly said, "Have you found Daoist Lv's sword?"
The young man dressed as a Taoist respectfully lowered his head and said, "Yes, Master."
Daoist Zhang nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Have you ever seen the human incarnation of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord?"
The young Taoist named Lingsu cautiously said, "I have seen him."
"His human incarnation in this world is called Fu Jianhan."
"He is an orphan, fed by a hundred families, learned from various schools of martial arts, possessing extraordinary talent, transforming from a small beggar into one of the top masters of the present age."
"Half a year ago, he was only slightly known in the martial world."
"But recently, his cultivation has advanced rapidly, not only breaking through the Innate Realm in just half a year to become one of this era's grandmasters."
"He has also comprehended the mystical sword technique of the Daoist sect."
"It seems he is already about to enter the Dao, becoming one of this era's Sword Immortals."
Fu Jianhan is indeed on the threshold of the Dao Entrance Realm.
Sitting cross-legged at the edge of the cliff, Daoist Zhang was not surprised by this, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "The Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord possesses the divine power to seize others' cultivation; it is not surprising he could peep into the Dao Entrance Realm within half a year."
If it were an ordinary person, to cultivate from a top master of the era to an Innate master, it would take no less than several decades.
If one still wants to peep into the Dao Entrance Realm, reaching the Innate Grand Perfection, the time needed would undoubtedly be even longer.
But the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord could accomplish all this effortlessly, reaching Innate Grand Perfection from a post-celestial master in half a year was entirely within Daoist Zhang's expectations.
Daoist Lingsu then disclosed all the intelligence he had gathered, such as when Fu Jianhan appeared in the Dragon Pool of Dangshan and then joined forces with others to eliminate the evil-person valley, followed by a battle in the Treasure Profound Heavenly Cave where he beheaded the Three Immortals of the South Sea.
The earlier events weren't very detailed, but what was detailed was how Fu Jianhan, in the last half year, slain eleven demons and killed over a hundred evildoers, during this time his power advanced rapidly.
Daoist Lingsu seemed puzzled, unable to refrain from asking, "Master."
"The Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord is the demon among demons."
"Why would he perform benevolent acts?"
Daoist Zhang gently smiled and slowly said, "The so-called great freedom means being unrestrained, untethered by any cosmic law."
"Good or evil follows his heart."
"He can be either the savior or the apocalypse demon."
"Good and evil arise merely from his thoughts."
"What a terrifying stature is this!…Throughout history, how many of those who have attained the Dao can compare to his stature?…"
"All beings of heaven and earth live and die by his will."
"Lingsu."
"Do you now understand why I set up these ambush preparations in advance?"
The beings of heaven and earth should not be controlled by the whim of one, if it must be controlled, it should be under his control alone, only he has the capability to determine the order of the beings in the three realms and six paths.
Daoist Lingsu nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, Master."
"But I observed that the human incarnation of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord is still weak now, why not strike while he has yet to penetrate the Dao Entrance Realm."
"Strike first to gain the upper hand?"
Daoist Zhang sighed softly, and slowly said, "Lingsu, your understanding and talent are excellent."
"Do you know why you have yet to attain enlightenment?"
Daoist Lingsu respectfully shook his head and said, "I do not know, please guide me, Master."
Daoist Zhang stood up, gazing at the distant sea of clouds, and taught, "You are too eager for quick success in your actions, you must know that humans propose, heaven disposes."
"If I want to contend with heaven."
"One must not calculate excessively, must leave room for the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord to maneuver, drawing upon favorable times, places, and people."
"That will be the moment when the enemy's strength is exhausted, and I have yet to use my full strength."
He is now half a step from proving the Dao, with many methods yet unused.
Daoist Lingsu pondered for a moment, then quietly said, "That Fu Jianhan is extremely cautious, with keen senses, seeming to be wary of me, I haven't been able to get close to him."
Daoist Zhang was not surprised and said, "The Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord can discern hostile intent."
"It is normal that you couldn't deceive him."
"Don't approach him easily in the future."
Daoist Lingsu nodded respectfully and then said, "He is now active in the Southern Han region."
"Master."
"One of your Three Corpses is also there, could there be any changes?"
Daoist Zhang revealed a slight smile, shook his head and said, "No problem."
"If the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord could help me cut it, it would save me a lot of trouble."
Borrowing the hand of the celestial demon to sever the Three Corpses.
Regardless of success or failure, there is no loss to him, he has already set up ambush preparations, if the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord takes the cultivation of his Three Corpses, that demon lord's Three Corpses would only grow stronger, giving him even less chance to prove the Dao by cutting off the Three Corpses.
Now that the human incarnation named Fu Jianhan has yet to penetrate the Dao Entrance Realm, it should be that his prior arrangements have already taken effect.
The advantage is mine in this wave!
Since the last spiritual confrontation with the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord, Daoist Zhang initially felt uneasy, yet now he feels calm, feeling everything is within his control.
Fu Jianhan, one of this age's Sword Immortals.
He also holds Daoist Lv's sword, once he could force Daoist Lv to ascend, now he can slay another Daoist Lv.
The pure Yang sword essence, though incredibly dominant, can borrow the power of heaven and earth.
But he is confident in winning it!
One must know heaven and earth divide into yin and yang, although Daoist Lv's cultivation is profound, it is ultimately just singularity, even if pure Yang is refined to its extreme state, it would still not be his opponent.
Just have to be careful not to easily approach him, the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord can discern hostile and murderous intent, must not recklessly alarm him.
