Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect

Chapter 1273 - 621: Sharpening the Sword on the Battlefield (Part 2)

The Holy Daughter looked at the soup bowl Chen Xuantian handed over and frowned,

"What on earth is Fellow Daoist deliberately delaying for? Isn’t the descent of the Heavenly Demon imminent? Where’s the time to make soup, what are you waiting for?"

Of course, waiting for outside assistance to finish the debate...

Chen Xuantian shrugged,

"Sharpening one’s sword at the last moment might not make it faster, but it makes it shine. Taking some potion before the start of a battle. Unfortunately, after thinking it over, just the two of us would certainly lead to certain death. No matter how extraordinary my cultivation technique is, I need a chance to show it.

If you can’t get me the opportunity to strike, this might just be the last meal. We should still calculate how much chance we have of winning, at least we should be well-fed before dying, don’t you think?

But weren’t you and Xuan Du from the same era? You should have plenty of common ground, right? Why has it escalated to the point of calling for bloodshed? Did he pursue you and get rejected by you?"

The Holy Daughter took the soup bowl helplessly,

"Pursue, my foot. Master Xuan Du was the leader of the Mystic Sect during the God-Demon War; countless Holy Daughters died by his hands..."

Chen Xuantian was perplexed,

"God-Demon War? Oh, you mean the Xuan-Demon War, right?"

The Holy Daughter glanced at him, well, it seems so.

Yes, wasn’t it the time of the Divine Lord’s ascension and the Mountain Man’s emergence? Although there was no feud as large as that with the Immortal Palace between the Divine Sect and Mystic Sect, they still disdained each other. Moreover, to fight for dominance in the Central Plains, each called the other Demon Sect, resulting in a brutal war lasting a thousand years, which ended with the Divine Sect being expelled from the Central Plains and pushed to the Western Regions. On this side, Mystic Sect called it the Xuan-Demon War; of course, the other side called it the God-Demon War.

However, Chen Xuantian became interested,

"Speaking of which, I heard that the war three thousand years ago was actually caused by a cooking pot. Can the Holy Daughter recall if your sect ended up taking that pot?"

"A pot? I can’t recall; too many Holy Daughters died at that time, it’s hard to remember..."

The Holy Daughter looked confused, holding the bowl, and fell into memories amidst the steaming vapor,

"But I remember Xuan Du at the time was fierce as a Ghost God, Shenxiao Heavenly Thunder unbeatable under the heavens, completely countering our sect’s Blood God’s son’s great method, really killing gods when encountering gods. Just him alone overturned our sect’s Ten Extremes Venerable, forcing the Sect Hierarch to change multiple times, causing countless altar masters and protectors to fall to his divine thunder, single-handedly establishing the fearsome reputation of the Mystic Sect Thunder Skill."

Chen Xuantian was curious,

"Wow, killing gods when encountering gods is so powerful? So how did you withstand for a thousand years?"

The Holy Daughter pursed her lips, sipping some soup,

"Didn’t you hear me say single-handedly, others’ thunder wasn’t as formidable as his. Honestly, there weren’t many who could even make a sound.

Even though Xuan Du was formidable, there was only one Xuan Du, the heavens and earth are vast, if he thunder strikes you, why can’t you run if you can’t fight?"

Chen Xuantian thought it made sense,

"No wonder people say Blood Shadow Divine Movement is the Divine Sect’s unrivaled skill."

The Holy Daughter glared at him.

Anyway, there’s nothing to stubbornly deny. In fact, the Divine Sect was expelled from the Central Plains.

But actually, the Divine Sect and Mystic Sect weren’t that different; the Divine Lord was particularly mighty, but besides him, there weren’t many others who could fight well. Initially relying on Primordial Spirit Method and Blood God’s son’s great method for some advantage, but once peak combat strength was crushed by Xuan Du, early advantages couldn’t translate into decisive victories. As Mystic Sect gradually cracked Divine Sect’s tactics, deducing countermeasures, wasn’t it inevitable that Divine Sect was driven out of the Central Plains?

Given that’s the case...

"Since Master Xuan Du is your sect’s number one enemy over the millennium, surely you must have researched countermeasures, right? Could you share some?"

The Holy Daughter was perplexed,

"So what, even if we researched, how could you use our Divine Sect’s magic against him?"

Chen Xuantian naturally wouldn’t say he knows a bit, just remarked,

"A stone from another mountain can be used to polish jade. Maybe I’ll get some ideas and can break his Thunder Skill."

The Holy Daughter looked skeptical but didn’t hide anything,

"Shenxiao Thunder Skill isn’t that easy to break, once he strikes the thunder, no matter what Dao Body you have, you’ll surely be obliterated to dust.

Therefore, the best approach is to prevent him from striking the thunder."

"Oh? Primordial Spirit Method?"

The Holy Daughter nodded, took out a golden bell, shook it with a "ding-ling-ling", and the guy just awakened by the soup heat flipped his eyes and fainted again.

"Indeed, I can use the Primordial Spirit Method to freeze him for a moment. Masters compete, it’s all over in an instant. Since Fellow Daoist have managed to kill two Mystic Sect Mountain People, you should be able to handle him, right?"

Chen Xuantian looked skeptical,

"It’s not that I doubt you, Holy Daughter, but can you really freeze Master Xuan Du? If you’re really that strong, why not use your ultimate move when that guy got beaten like a dog earlier?"

"Think I didn’t want to use it, but who knew he’d suddenly pull those shenanigans?

If only wholeheartedly, start with the domineering sword, at full power with the first strike to cut down one, then I’ll freeze one, wouldn’t victory be a fifty-fifty chance?

Instead, messing around with a bunch of juggling tricks, couldn’t even kill one, alas, I’m truly at a loss..."

The Holy Daughter couldn’t help but roll her eyes, said irritably,

"As for Xuan Du, don’t worry, I’ve already seen through his origins, know the fatal weakness of his Daoist Heart. However, he has the Thunder Escape Technique, coming and going like lightning, scheming old-timer, never foolish enough to face me and other supremes simultaneously, haven’t found the opportunity."

Chen Xuantian was curious again,

"Daoist Heart has a weakness? What is it? Can you tell me?"
