Extraordinary Comprehension: I Establish an Immortal Villain Family

Chapter 76: Brother Bai?!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Above the Tianchuan Mountain, sword cultivators from all over soared into the sky, riding their swords and shooting towards the location of the Qingzhi Divine Sword.

Their aura pierced the heavens, and sword energy filled the air! In an instant, the once moonlit starry sky was flooded with radiant sword lights.

Sword lights streaked across the night sky like countless meteors, forming a spectacular meteor shower!

"The supreme treasure has emerged! It must be the opening of the ancient Sword God's inheritance!"

Xu Li lifted his head to the sky, his face suddenly filled with joy.

"Let's go!"

In an instant, several individuals took to their swords, heading towards the disturbance caused by the Qingzhi Divine Sword.

"Wait, everyone! Where's Brother Bai? Has anyone seen him? We're teammates and should advance and retreat together," Shan Yang called out urgently.

"Why bother with him? Opportunities like this are first come, first served! A Liang, let's go together!" Bai Ling, wearing a nightingale mask, scoffed.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The three of them didn't linger, flying away into the distance.

"Brother Bai, why are you missing at such a critical moment... Ah, forget it! If I gain any opportunity, I'll share it with you!" Shan Yang stomped his foot anxiously. Without further hesitation, he too took off on his sword.

Meanwhile.

Thud, thud, thud!

Chen Zhixing used his Ground Shrinking technique, each step seemingly mundane, yet traversing hundreds of miles in an instant.

In just a few steps, Chen Zhixing reached the southeastern peak of Tianchuan Mountain.

Following the directions given by Qingzhi, Chen Zhixing soon found a hidden cave.

At the entrance of the cave, numerous footprints were visible, indicating that Tianchuan Mountain had already been thoroughly searched in the past few days.

Chen Zhixing entered the cave, walking forward.

The cave's passage was narrow and winding, like the neck of a gourd. After traveling several miles, his view suddenly widened, giving a sense of emerging from a dark thicket into a bright clearing.

Raising his head, Chen Zhixing saw a massive stone wall.

The stone wall was vast, resembling a honeycomb, branching into seventy-three narrow paths barely wide enough for one person.

"The thirty-fourth path..."

Chen Zhixing's brows furrowed, a strange expression appearing on his face.

He couldn't forget the thirty-fourth path.

But... was it the thirty-fourth path from the left or the thirty-fourth from the right?

Hiss!

A surge of divine sense radiated from Chen Zhixing, spreading forward.

However, as soon as the divine sense entered the passage, it vanished without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.

"As expected, Tianchuan Mountain is shielded by an array that blocks divine sense."

Chen Zhixing shook his head and retracted his spiritual sense.

"If that's the case..."

Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, his eyes filled with contemplation.

"Then..."

"Bull Demon Star Crusher!!!"

With a low, rumbling bellow, Chen Zhixing thrust his fist forward.

Boom——!!!

A violent shockwave erupted, crashing forward with tremendous force.

In an instant, dozens of the passages in the middle crumbled to dust.

The entire Tianchuan Mountain shook violently, as if hit by an earthquake, with the ground trembling furiously.

Chen Zhixing retracted his arm and waved his hand.

A gust of wind roared through, sweeping away the dust clouding the cave.

Then, Chen Zhixing focused his gaze.

Ahead, the view opened up. At the deepest part, a stalactite dripped water, forming a small pool by a cluster of reed-like plants.

"There it is!"

Chen Zhixing smiled slightly, reaching out to part the reeds, revealing a protruding green stone, just as Azure had described.

Chen Zhixing pressed the green stone.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!

Suddenly, the solid stone wall in front began to distort.

A swirling white vortex appeared on the stone wall!

"It seems this is the entrance to the inheritance."

Chen Zhixing muttered to himself, testing by placing his hand into the vortex.

A strong repulsive force emanated from the vortex, preventing Chen Zhixing from entering.

"As expected, the Qingzhi Sword is needed as a key."

Chen Zhixing shook his head, turned around, and looked towards the cave entrance.

Next, everything depended on Azure.

Clang!!!

Two terrifying sword beams clashed in mid-air, creating a thunderous explosion.

The shockwaves spread out, slicing through nearby mountains like a knife through tofu.

Beneath the hovering Qingzhi Divine Sword, two Sword Dao Grandmasters, Chai Qingchi and the guardian of the Hao Ri Sword Sect, clashed swords, each stepping back a few paces.

"Chai Qingchi, give some face to my Hao Ri Sword Sect. This item is meant for our Young Master," the guardian said in a deep voice.

"Him?"

Chai Qingchi glanced at the Young Master of the Hao Ri Sword Sect, lowered his gaze, and said calmly, "If he takes it, it would only be a waste, dishonoring the name of the Sword God."

"Chai Qingchi, so you're truly determined to go against my Hao Ri Sword Sect?" The guardian squinted his eyes, his whole body radiating a terrifying aura.

Chai Qingchi was at the True Self Third Layer, and so was he! Why fear?

"Young man, when I was honing my sword skills, you were still playing in the mud. Do you think just because you've reached the True Self Realm, you can stand on equal footing with me?" Chai Qingchi's face remained calm as the sword in his hand began to vibrate intensely.

Waves of sharp sword energy formed gusts that made his robe flutter.

"Today, I will show you that skill has precedence, and the path has heights!"

"Even in the same realm, the gap can be as vast as a chasm!"

Hearing this, the guardian responded coldly, "Then today, I will test the strength of the Sword Dao Grandmaster Chai Qingchi, famed for slaying sea dragons on the Eastern Sea."

Boom!!

Two invisible, terrifying sword pressures emanated from both men, colliding and pressing against each other in mid-air!

As tensions mounted between the two.

Swoosh!!!

The Qingzhi Divine Sword, which had been quietly suspended in the air, suddenly turned its tip and shot towards the southeast direction of Tianchuan Mountain.

"Huh?"

Instantly, Chai Qingchi and the Hao Ri Sword Sect's guardian exchanged glances, and both withdrew their sword pressure.

"Chase it!"

Boom, boom, boom!!

In an instant, the two of them led the charge in pursuit of the Qingzhi Divine Sword.

Behind them, the other sword cultivators exchanged looks, their faces filled with fervor, and quickly followed.

Shan Yang and his companions blended into the crowd, hurrying along with the group toward where the Qingzhi Divine Sword had vanished.

Moments later.

As the Qingzhi Divine Sword entered the cave, a crowd of sword cultivators led by Chai Qingchi and the Hao Ri Sword Sect's guardian followed suit.

The next moment.

They saw, at the deepest part of the cave.

In front of a shimmering white vortex.

A figure in snow-white robes, standing tall, with a white cross mask on his face, was quietly standing before the vortex.

Hiss!

The person merely spread his fingers slightly.

The Qingzhi Divine Sword, which had captivated everyone’s attention, fell directly into the figure's hand, grasped lightly by five slender, pale fingers.

"Hmm? Who is this?"

Instantly, Chai Qingchi and the Hao Ri Sword Sect guardian halted, both frowning with hesitant expressions.

Behind them.

Among the crowd of sword cultivators, Shan Yang, Xu Li, Bai Ling, and others raised their heads to look at the figure in white robes.

The next moment.

"Bai Shi?!"

"Hmm? It's Brother Bai?!"

"How could it be him?!"

Instantly, the four of them exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.
