Chapter 397 - 285: The Sky-Piercing Sword Qi, At Last

The young man in black changed his expression.

The elderly Divine Spirit caught his breath for a moment and spoke bitterly:

"It seems we have arrived in another world, yet it differs from those real worlds in the great void. Here, there are beings whose power exceeds imagination..."

The two Deities remained silent.

For a long time.

The young man in black smiled wryly:

"Well, since we’re here, we might as well make ourselves at home."

"I just wonder if all of this is the handiwork of that mysterious giant Buddha, or if it’s purely an accident?"

"And where is that giant Buddha at this moment?"

The elderly Divine Spirit shook his head, unable to answer.

At this very moment.

The sea of clouds in the Celestial Realm.

Zhang Fusheng slowly withdrew his gaze and gently exhaled a breath of clear energy.

"Indeed, after integrating the Buddha Country into my Divine Realm, they all belong to the world of my Divine Spirit."

"Here, equivalent to the ’Will of Heaven’ and the ’Heavenly Dao,’ I fully comprehend all of their essence."

Murmuring,

Zhang Fusheng’s eyes blazed, two Great Sun Golden Lamps burning fiercely,

he pondered, since they belong to him, could he possibly borrow or even mobilize their power?

"Logically, it’s possible."

Zhang Fusheng squinted:

"But I don’t know exactly how to do it..."

It’s still a while before reaching near Qinghe City, Ruan Yutu was following the map, finding the way step by step,

Zhang Fusheng simply sat down cross-legged, holding the Tao Te Ching in his hand, then wielded a pen imbued with Merit Purple Qi,

he wrote, attempting to inscribe things like the Immortal Forest, Divine River, but failed.

"This pen is only useful in the Great Heaven and Earth outside—is it because Merit Purple Qi comes from the Great Heaven and Earth outside?"

Zhang Fusheng mused, quietly sensing, his eyes gradually brightening:

"If this is the case, in the Great Heaven and Earth, there are various authorities and functions, the Celestial Position can call upon corresponding authorities."

"And Merit Purple Qi, to some extent, is equivalent to a ’key of authority’ for the Great Heaven and Earth?"

He diligently studied the Tao Te Ching, using the millennium Technique cultivation from Kong Shentong.

"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven Scripture, or perhaps the Taiyi Chapter, Heaven-Opening Chapter from the Three Great Chapters of Primal Beginning?"

It seemed there was no need for much consideration.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven Scripture, advancing further, would allow one to achieve Perfection—at that time, perhaps the Ox Demon King would return.

"The Taiyi Chapter becomes increasingly difficult towards the end, after grasping Hand Imbued with Cause and Effect, comes ’All is Empty,’ even in ten thousand years, it might not be achieved."

"Instead, I currently lack many slaughter techniques, and the Heaven-Opening Chapter has yet to reach Entry Level—it’s worth a try."

Immediately,

Zhang Fusheng devoted ten thousand years to the Heaven-Opening Chapter.

Time flew by.

"In the first year, I began to study the Heaven-Opening Chapter, this is the slaughter Chapter, the first Slaughter Technique is ’Heaven and Earth Inversion.’

"In the thirty-ninth year, I had a revelation, and vaguely saw an illusory grand scene."

Zhang Fusheng contemplated that indeed, the initial cultivation of the Heaven-Opening Chapter was not difficult, much like the Taiyi Chapter.

In thirty-nine years, there was some achievement.

Before his eyes, an illusory scene appeared, in an ancient world from countless years ago, a massive white jade-like hand gently turned over,

and then, the entire heaven and earth overturned with it, the sky was below, the earth was above, mountains, rivers, seas, and islands,

all plummeting towards the sky!

A move to invert heaven and earth.

"In that year, I successfully learned ’Heaven and Earth Inversion.’

"In the hundredth year, I continued my painstaking research."

"In the two-hundredth year..."

"In the three thousand six-hundredth year, my attainment in the Heaven-Opening Chapter advanced further, and I learned the second killing move."

"Its name was ’Chaos Seal.’

Zhang Fusheng saw the illusory scene again,

this time, it was still a massive, white jade-like palm, only now it became a fist,

as the fist fell, chaotic light burst forth from between the fingers, along with a vast chaotic abyss, descended together!

The Chaos Seal struck the earth,

the entire world reverberated, elemental forces of earth, fire, wind, and water erupted, everything returned to the original state of chaos!

"Chaos Seal, a Supreme Marvelous Technique, with sufficient mana, one punch can reforge the elemental forces, returning everything to its original state..."

Zhang Fusheng murmured, comprehending a new Slaughter Technique, chaotic light began to burst forth from his body.

"In the fifth thousand years, I began to explore the third Slaughter Technique in the Heaven-Opening Chapter.’

"Its name is ’Pangu Banner.’

"This technique is profound and combines Heaven and Earth Inversion with Chaos Seal, evolving into a divine banner that can unleash heaven-opening sword energy!"

"It’s too difficult."

"In the sixth millennium, I researched diligently, but made no progress."

"In the seventh millennium, I had some understanding, but still couldn’t truly grasp this Great Technique."

"In the eighth millennium..."

"In the tenth millennium, I evolved a trace of faint heaven-opening sword energy between my fingers."

"It is so small and thin, yet it truly exists, cutting through everything, destroying the indestructible."

"I understand, it can even cut through time."

"Although I’m still far from mastering the complete ’Pangu Banner,’ I’ve at least taken the first step."

Ten thousand years have passed by now.

Zhang Fusheng sat crossed-legged above the sea of clouds in the Celestial Realm, his eyes still closed, and once again, a past scene reflected in his mind.

In the old scenes, there was nothing except a single strand of ’sword energy.’

This trace of sword energy was not forged by mundane iron or golden essence, nor condensed by killing aura,

it was more like the first line of light born in the unformed heavens and earth, in chaotic obscurity!

Zhang Fusheng observed the trace of heaven-opening sword energy,

the sword energy was silent, as fine as a silk thread, with a chaotic color,

to gaze upon it was to feel an extreme sharpness, and an absolute sense of ’separation’ and ’definition’—

The pure and the impure will be divided, yin and yang will be delineated, heaven and earth established.

For a long time.

To Zhang Fusheng’s left appeared an illusion of Heaven and Earth Inversion, to his right, an ocean of primordial chaotic light,
