Seeking the Flying Sword Path

Translator: CKtalon  Editor: CKtalon

Qin Yun took out another bottle and filled it with the gold-suffusing blood.

“Bam! Bam! Bam!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

The six hundred plus fiendmonsters continued their attacks, and Qin Yun could hear their angry roars as they threw themselves at his Cyclic Sword flash barrier. But with his present Dharmic powers, the Cyclic Sword Flash cast from his Intrinsic Flying Sword was not something these fiendmonsters could crack.

“Next, it will be this.” Qin Yun walked to the gigantic arm beside him. The fiendmonsters tried frenetically to stop him but to no avail.

Qin Yun directed with his mind.

Boom!

The Cyclic Sword Flash barrier expanded to cover a range of five hundred feet, enveloping the entire red-scaled arm. The fiendmonsters were repelled and blocked by the barrier. Although they were furious, none of them could enter. At Qin Yun’s new realm, the Cyclic Sword Flash could still maintain its peak power in a three thousand feet range.

“It died in battle during ancient times; yet, it can still naturally generate such a domain. The remnant aura forms fiendmonsters that match great fiendish demons. This strength sure is terrifying.” Qin Yun marveled at the gigantic arm in front of him. Each scale and every fingernail blade left him shuddering.

“I’ll take these Dharma treasures first.” Qin Yun waved his hand.

Immediately, three streams of Golden Core Dharmic powers flew towards the three black bangles on the gigantic arm. They were worn on the wrist and had a diameter of about sixty feet. The aura they exuded was deep and profound. The bangles resembled a dehydrated traveler on a desert road or a dried-up river bed when Qin Yun’s Golden Core Dharmic powers were injected into them. They sucked up Qin Yun’s Dharmic powers ravenously.

Dharma treasures also required the nourishment of Dharmic powers.

Hum!

The three black bangles were ownerless Dharma treasures. As they absorbed Qin Yun’s Golden Core Dharmic powers, they were quickly refined as Qin Yun’s.

The moment he refined them for himself, he realized how much more esoteric the runic patterns engraved on the inner side of the black bangles were. When he sensed it, each bangle seemed like a pocket world in and of itself.

“As I expected, these three bangles are three pieces of an entire Dharma treasure set,” thought Qin Yun. “Every black bangle is a first-grade Dharma treasure. Just these three combined can match a transcendent-grade Dharma treasure! If I can gather the complete set of Dharma treasures… it should be at the Numinous treasure grade.”

“Furthermore, it would be a very powerful Numinous treasure.” Qin Yun perceived the esoteric runic patterns contained on the three bangles.

Numinous treasures also differed in strength.

For example, the Tuṣita Divine Fire Talisman Amulet might be a talisman amulet at the Numinous treasure grade but it was mainly used to kill foes. On the other hand, the Heaven-Inspecting Mirror was mainly used to observe the world.

As for the most ancient Bai family, its Stellar Heavenly Cycle combined the acts of life-preservation, enemy entrapment, and the killing of foes into one treasure. The reason why the Bai family had been strong since ancient times and created the best family clan in Numinous Treasure Mountain—the origin of the Daoist movement—had a lot to do with the Stellar Heavenly Cycle.

“This set of black bangles is naturally inferior to the Stellar Heavenly Cycle but I think it’s much better than the Tuṣita Divine Fire Talisman Amulet.” That was Qin Yun’s evaluation. “I can sense that it’s best at two things—killing and entrapment.”

One bangle alone was like a pocket world.

When trapping an enemy, it trapped them in an entirely separate pocket world! When killing an enemy, it slammed them with the force of an entire pocket world!

And with the three bangles in close proximity, the runic patterns would combine together. If it were an entire set of bangles… the power would only be more frightening.

“A bangle resembles an entirely different world,” thought Qin Yun. “It also mimics the Heavenly Cycles and bears some resemblance to the Heavenly Cycles my flying sword produces.”

“Retrieve.”

Qin Yun directed with his mind.

Whoosh.

The three black bangles immediately expanded and flew off of the arm. As they flew towards Qin Yun, they rapidly contracted and wrapped around Qin Yun’s left wrist.

“Other Realm Fiendcelestial, I’ll be taking your treasure. I do not know their names, however. From this day forth, they will be called Cosmic Bangles. They will join me in slaying evil.” Qin Yun could not help but say with a smile as he looked at the gigantic arm.

“What a precious treasure.”

Qin Yun was delighted.

Each of the three Cosmic Bangles was a first-grade Dharmic treasure. Even if he controlled all three at once, it would be relatively undemanding thanks to his purplish-gold Golden Core Dharmic powers. After all, the purity of his Dharmic powers could match that of immortals and fiendcelestials.

“Let me test its strength.” Qin Yun extended his arm.

Woosh.

The three Cosmic Bangles flew off of his wrist. Two of the Cosmic Bangles spun as they each struck a fiendmonster outside. Bam! Bam! With two bangs, the two fiendmonsters exploded to their deaths from the collisions. Another Cosmic Bangle expanded abruptly and instantly clamped down on a fiendmonster leader! As it held the fiendmonster leader in place, it shrunk to trap it.

The fiendish demon leader stood in midair as it put all its strength into its arms and struggled as much as it could. As a result, the Cosmic Bangle began stretching. In terms of strength, the fiendish demon leader was equivalent to Matron Centaurea and Nine Mountain Island Lord. Just a single Cosmic Bangle was insufficient to trap it.

Qin Yun furrowed his brows and immediately, another Cosmic Bangle flew over with a whoosh and trapped the fiendmonster leader.

With two Cosmic Bangles trapping it simultaneously, the fiendmonster leader could no longer resist. It fell to the ground and although it tumbled on the floor in desperation, it could not escape by dematerializing.

“After it is trapped by my Cosmic Bangles, it is completely restricted. It is not able to use any divine powers or Dharma spells, preventing it from escaping.” Qin Yun suddenly saw black mist rise from the red-scaled arm. The mist transformed into two fiendmonsters. These two were born right inside the Cyclic Sword Flash’s interior. Immediately, they pounced toward Qin Yun.

“Go.”

The Seven Kills Sword moved and with a “shwing!” the two fiendmonsters were split apart before they were diced up by the black mist.

“Seal!” With a thought from Qin Yun, the three black Cosmic Bangles immediately gave up on the fiendmonsters outside and flew towards the red-scaled arm. They lodged onto the arm and instantly, sealed the powers the arm contained.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

The six hundred plus fiendmonsters disappeared completely.

Their powers stemmed from the Other Realm Fiendcelestial’s arm but once the arm’s fiendish aura was contained, the fiendmonsters naturally vanished.

…

The ruined hall quietened down as all the fiendmonsters disappeared. There was only Qin Yun and the sealed red-scaled arm.

“Let’s see if I can cut it apart.” Qin Yun gave the order.

Shoo!

The Intrinsic Flying Sword flew out and began attempting to cut through the red-scaled arm. The flying sword was extremely sharp but it only produced sparks when it struck the arm. It only barely left a few scuffs on the scales.

“This body is just too powerful. I feel like I would need to burn my life to cast Samsara before I could split open even a few of the scales. As for cutting apart the whole arm? It would probably require hundreds if not thousands of Samsara.” Qin Yun shook his head. He proceeded forward to cast a few Dharma spells. He tried various Sealing Spells, or spells that isolated auras. But every time Qin Yun attempted to retrieve the Cosmic Bangles, the red-scaled arm would immediately produce black mist. The various spells at his disposal could not repress it.

“I think I need to use a Dao talisman. The Heaven Sealing Charm can seal a world. It should be able to seal the fiendish aura on this arm.” Qin Yun took out a purple-colored Dao talisman and activated it with his Dharmic powers. Boom—

Runic patterns appeared in midair.

The runic patterns descended and engraved themselves on the red-scaled arm. Only then was the black mist repressed.

“A success.” Qin Yun retrieved the three black Cosmic Bangles.

He took out another Cosmic Bag from his waist and opened its mouth. The mouth expanded tremendously, taking up about half the size of the hall.

Dharmic powers began carrying the 390-foot-long arm, pushing it into the Cosmic Bag.

“Thankfully Senior Elder Sword’s Cosmic Bag is big enough, allowing me to store it. If not, I would have had to leave just to buy a Cosmic Bag.” Qin Yun was extremely thankful. He had obtained Cosmic Bags around the Immortal Abode’s periphery back then. He also received Cosmic Bags when he killed great fiendish demons but the biggest one among them was Temple Lord Ruyi’s Cosmic Bag. It only had about 180 feet of space.

Those Cosmic Bags would not have been able to store the arm.

Elder Sword was someone who had once slain a fiendcelestial before. He was rich, and so the Cosmic Bag he used was a lot better than a typical Connate Golden Core cultivator’s. Just his Cosmic Bag alone matched the price of a second-grade Dharma treasure. It had a space that stretched for a thousand feet! In fact, few cultivators in the world would spend the price of a second-grade Dharma treasure for a Cosmic Bag to store items.

Only typical immortals or fiendcelestials would be so extravagant.

“I have taken all the treasures in this ruined hall. I’ll slowly study that Other Realm Fiendcelestial’s arm in the future.” Qin Yun looked towards another huge crack in the ruined hall. Through the two cracks, he could see the other end of the hall.

“Let me take a look at the other areas of the Ancient Skydragon Palace.” Qin Yun followed the large crack and flew in. The crack was three feet wide and about seventy or eighty feet deep. It stretched deep into the other end of the hall.
