Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 228: Heaven Level Technique, Yellow Court Heart Sutra - Primordial Origin Limitless Cloud Firmament Diagram

The fierce competition in the Yunxiao Palace lasted for a long time. In the end, it was Lin Yuan, the strongest master in terms of strength and influence, who won and obtained the opportunity to welcome Zhong Cang's return.

Of course, after considering it for a while, he did not leave the sect to go personally. Instead, he called his junior sister - a Nascent Soul level female cultivator.

"Junior Sister Qingqiu, I'm sure you've heard about Zhong Cang's situation. I would like to ask you to protect him for a while."

"Mhmm."

With a faint response, Qingqiu, the cold woman, walked towards the outside of the palace.

However, before she could get far, the master stopped her and handed her a jade slip.

"Wait a moment, Junior Sister. This is our sect's Heaven Level technique, Yellow Court Heart Sutra - Primordial Origin Limitless Cloud Firmament Diagram. This jade slip contains the first three layers of the technique. Please give it to Zhong Cang and let him study it first."

Seeing the technique jade slip, Senior Qingqiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I remember that this technique can only be practiced after reaching the Gold Core stage, but Zhong Cang is still at the Foundation Building stage. Moreover, without the assistance of a Spirit Communication mystic stone, can he really master it?"

In response to this doubt, the master did not refute it. Instead, he stroked his beard and said with hope:

"Most likely not, but what if he can? If he can learn it in advance and go through the Thunder Tribulation, our sect will truly have a monstrous talent."

"...As long as you're happy."

...

Leaving the palace, Senior Qingqiu rode on clouds and ascended to the sky. As the cloud she was riding on flickered with lightning, she rushed towards the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain like a bolt of lightning.

With the speed of lightning, she would not take too long to arrive at the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain.

Meanwhile, Zhong Cang, for the first time, had some free time.

-Killing Jia Mo still had an impact on Zhong Cang.

Previously, many people believed that duels wouldn't result in death. Even if they couldn't win, they could still gain fame.

With this mindset, they challenged Zhong Cang without fear, and some were even eager to try.

However, Jia Mo's death made them realize that Zhong Cang was not someone to be trifled with.

But accidents happen, and if things went wrong, they would either die or be seriously injured, possibly cutting off their path of cultivation.

In this situation, cultivators who lacked confidence in dealing with Zhong Cang dared not act rashly.

Furthermore, most of the people in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain who were the same age and cultivation level as Zhong Cang were not his match, causing the number of challengers to plummet.

Three days after Zhong Cang killed Jia Mo, no one dared to challenge him.

Zhong Cang didn't care about this.

The path to invincibility did not require Zhong Cang to fight everyone to consider it complete.

With so many cultivators in this place, even if he worked himself to death, it would be impossible.

By making the cultivators in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain too afraid to make a move, it could also be considered a victory.

Therefore, in these days, although Zhong Cang did not fight anyone, his proficiency in the Ignorant Heart Sword Art continued to rise.

If there were no challenges, Zhong Cang would have successfully subdued the younger generation of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain, which could be considered a direct victory.

Unfortunately, such a good thing did not happen.

On the fourth day, the atmosphere in Tianhai Immortal City reached its lowest point, with a large number of cultivators filled with pessimism.

In this situation, someone finally couldn't bear it and challenged Zhong Cang again.

What surprised Zhong Cang was that the one challenging him this time was actually someone he knew - the fat Taoist he met at the Sea King Banquet, He Gao.

Well, besides being fat, he was also very fond of drinking and women.

However, although he acted unrestrained, he did have some strength to challenge Zhong Cang at this time, and he even caused some trouble for Zhong Cang.

"This is... drunkenness..."

When Zhong Cang arrived at the battlefield late, he found that there was a smell of alcohol in the air.

Even though he didn't breathe, as the spiritual energy circulated, there was still a sense of drunkenness emerging in his body and soul.

Feeling Zhong Cang's swaying figure and hearing his words, the fat Taoist He Gao smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry, fellow Daoist, I am not your opponent, nor do I want to fight you. But as a person from Yunmeng, I can't retreat, so I can only use some tricks."

"It doesn't matter."

As soon as the words fell, the resonance of the Heart Sword sounded in Zhong Cang's heart.

When the sound of the sword resonated, Zhong Cang's soul instantly became clear, and the drunkenness that emerged from his mind disappeared without a trace.

The mind triumphs over matter. As long as the will is strong enough, Zhong Cang can cut through everything, including drunkenness.

After clearing his own state, Zhong Cang swung his peak sword towards He Gao.

But He Gao's reaction surprised him.

At the beginning of the battle, he rushed towards Zhong Cang at an extremely fast speed. Although this couldn't stop Zhong Cang from playing the sword resonance after accumulating power in advance and unleashing the peak sword strike, he made a move that exceeded Zhong Cang's imagination.

- When he rushed over, a Daoist phantom with a wine gourd appeared behind him, approaching Zhong Cang at a certain distance.

The Daoist picked up the wine gourd directly from his waist and fiercely smashed it towards Zhong Cang.

"Boom!"

The smashed wine gourd directly collided with the sword qi.

And the result, without any surprise, was that the wine gourd exploded under the sharp sword qi.

But what surprised Zhong Cang happened at this moment... The exploded wine gourd increased the concentration of alcohol in this place by more than a hundred times.

And this strong aroma of alcohol actually triggered a riot of spiritual energy.

"Boom boom..."

The originally smooth spiritual energy now seemed to be drunk, surging and throbbing.

The disordered spiritual energy collided with everything, even the Extreme White Ancient Gold Sword Qi had a part of its spiritual energy stripped away and became disordered.

At the same time, the exploded wine gourd and the special aroma spread far and wide, affecting Zhong Cang as well.

The spiritual energy in his body also went into a frenzy.

This kind of spiritual energy frenzy was extremely effective. If it were to deal with ordinary cultivators, just one wine gourd smashing down would be enough to seriously injure them with the raging spiritual energy.

Even if they managed to endure it, the disordered spiritual energy inside and around them would prevent them from using any spells.

It can be said that with the Wine God's Curse, He Gao created an uninhabitable place.

"Although the outbreak of spiritual energy can severely injure the weak, it is only a prohibition for the strong. In that case, He Gao should still have a trick up his sleeve."

With this thought in mind, Zhong Cang looked ahead.

Then, he realized that he was right.

In this 'Forbidden Land', He Gao's physical body rapidly expanded at a visible speed.

At the same time as he grew larger, his body became proportionate, with muscles appearing on him. Additionally, there was a layer of golden light on his body.

Clearly, this was a physical cultivation technique.

By using the Wine God's Curse to turn an area into a Forbidden Land and then defeating enemies with his physical strength, He Gao had been invincible in the past.

However, this time, he encountered Zhong Cang.

"Buzz!"

As the five-colored light wheel appeared, the outbreak of spiritual energy within Zhong Cang's body was immediately suppressed.

Then, Zhong Cang's gaze turned towards the front.

There, the rushing sword qi collided continuously with the chaotic spiritual energy, and at the same time, spiritual energy kept falling off the Extreme White Ancient Gold Sword Qi.

If this continued, when the Extreme White Ancient Gold Sword Qi flew to He Gao's side, it would be greatly weakened.

Under these circumstances, He Gao had a chance to withstand this attack.

However, he no longer had the opportunity—Zhong Cang recovered.

As his will became indifferent, Heavenly Heart occupied Zhong Cang's mind.

"Buzz!"

Under Heavenly Heart, the five-colored light wheel behind Zhong Cang spun rapidly and emitted a strong sense of dominance.

Under the overbearing dominance of Heavenly Heart, the five elements of spiritual energy gradually transitioned from an outbreak to order.

Even if drunk, the five elements of spiritual energy could not resist Zhong Cang's control and dominance.

And most of the spiritual energy in the world is composed of the five elements. With the stability of the five elements, the turbulent spiritual energy naturally gradually subsided.

"Plip!"

In this way, with no obstacles, the Extreme White Ancient Gold Sword Qi, guided by the projection of the Heart Sword, swiftly rushed to He Gao's front and collided violently with his powerful fist.

Then, one of He Gao's arms was cut off by Zhong Cang.

His peak sword was simply something that cultivators of the same age and level as him could not withstand.

"Indeed, I am not your match..."

With a sigh, He Gao left with regret.

...

After He Gao's defeat, the cultivators of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain suffered a heavy blow.

It was not until three days later that someone dared to challenge Zhong Cang.

After Zhong Cang cleanly defeated him, some rumors spread throughout the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain.

"Zhong Cang's timing was too coincidental. Our Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain's top genius happened to be attending a birthday banquet at the Dragon Palace. Otherwise, his victory wouldn't have been so easy."

"Are you saying that he deliberately sought us out when we were weak to challenge us?"

"That's how it is..."

...

"Have you heard the news? Jingtong, the Perfected Being from Earth Origin Sect, has just reached the 51st level. If Zhong Cang had arrived a little earlier, he could have fought against him."

"Can Jingtong, the Perfected Being, defeat Zhong Cang?"

"Absolutely. It's not that Zhong Cang is weak, but Jingtong, the Perfected Being, has been cultivating for several decades longer. Currently, his cultivation is at the Foundation Building Late Stage, so Zhong Cang wouldn't stand a chance."

...

"Everyone, I have received some news. Chen Sheng, the strongest true disciple of Heavenly Spirit Sect in this generation, is in seclusion. If he comes out, he won't let Zhong Cang be so arrogant."

"Can he be persuaded to come out?"

"It's difficult. The reputation of being the strongest in Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain is just a facade. It's the cultivators' cultivation level that they value the most."

...

Rumors, legends, hearsay... spread rapidly with the covert support of the prestigious sects.

These rumors made many people in Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain feel that even their strongest geniuses were unable to take action, which allowed Zhong Cang to become somewhat invincible.

Some even believed that he only came to challenge when Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain was weak, making him a despicable person.

After learning this news, many people in Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain no longer feared Zhong Cang and refused to contribute their faith power to him.

This caused the advancement speed of Zhong Cang's Ignorant Heart Sword Art to slow down once again.

Originally, it would have taken only fifteen days for Zhong Cang's Ignorant Heart Sword Art to reach the mastery level.

But now...

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Just as Zhong Cang was contemplating, someone knocked on his door.

After opening it, he found three people entering.

One was Su Wan'er from Four Seas Pavilion, and the other two were cultivators. One was a swordsman who had helped him once before, and the other was an unknown old Daoist.

Seeing the three of them, Zhong Cang immediately stood up, bowed to them, and expressed his gratitude to the swordsman.

After exchanging a few words with the swordsman, his gaze fell on the old Daoist.

Seeing their positions, a guess emerged in Zhong Cang's mind.

"I wonder who this Perfected Being is?"

"Haven't you already guessed? My name is Ying Qi, a Perfected Being from Cloud Firmament Sect. I have come to take you back to Cloud Firmament Sect."

"Phew..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Cang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had long suspected that people from Cloud Firmament Sect were nearby, as long as they didn't show up, Zhong Cang's danger increased and his confidence wavered.

But now, with a Gold Core cultivator appearing to protect him, Zhong Cang could truly be considered a true disciple of Cloud Firmament Sect, and he could act more boldly.

While he relaxed, Ying Qi was not. After explaining his identity, he straightforwardly said:

"You are only one step away from invincibility. Now that I'm taking you away from here and back to Cloud Firmament Sect, you probably won't refuse."

"However, the sects in Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain have already taken action to obstruct you. What are you going to do?"
