Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1160

Immortality

“Uncle An, are you really Nian Henxi?” Cheng Yan inquired.

People would call them ungrateful if people found out the disciples of Dustfallen Sect complained about the food an Apotheosis Realm immortal cooked for them.

“It’s been a long time since people have called me by that name,” replied Uncle An.

“Why did you stay in Celestial Prison if you are so strong?” queried Xiang Nan.

Uncle An answered, “I used Spirit Void to seal my cultivation. Else, Celestial Prison would take my life. I don’t want this world’s true god to be without a decent bodyguard. I left Third Heaven as per Patriarch’s instructions once Celestial Prison was dispelled to fetch the lost celestial swords. Two of them were used to seal primordial beasts until Divine Executioner had his men steal them. I, therefore, went to retrieve them.”

“Yeah, me and Younger Sister Miaomiao flogged those arrogant foreign races, hehehe,” bragged Kongkong.

“He’s lying. Younger Brother Kongkong just cheered Uncle An on from the sidelines,” Miaomiao rectified.

“What did you do? You didn’t even cheer.”

“That’s because Uncle An could beat them without our cheering! Who can beat his Spirit Void?!”

Xiaoshuai chimed in. “Mu Yu can also use Spirit Void. He grasped Yu Shuai Level Invincible World Domain and, thanks to that, has learnt numerous formations. I was his personal coach.”

Uncle An shifted his gaze over to Mu Yu. “When shall I test your skills?”

“Can we get a pass, Uncle An? If we both deploy Spirit Void, nobody can use spirit energy. That’s lame,” Mu Yu opined, reluctant to clash with someone he respected.

“Tomorrow it is, then. Whoever loses will be in charge of cooking henceforth.”

Kongkong and Miaomiao shouted, “Mu Yu, think thrice, no, four times. Make that five… The more the better. Think long and hard before you act.”

The others also gestured in one way or another that Mu Yu better secure their food.

Feng Haochen jovially asked, “Mu Yu, what do you call that domain?”

“Yu Shuai Level Invincible World Domain!” Xiaoshuai exclaimed.

“Shifu, I call it Universe Ruler,” Mu Yu responded.

Feng Haochen bobbed his head a few times. “Controlling the universe. Your domain is quite special and capable of more than you might have realised. I’m surprised you figured out the toughest domain to control. You might actually have a good chance against Divine Executioner if you can perfect it.”

“Are you so confident in me, Shifu?”

“While Universe Ruler can control other domains, your ability to replicate formations you come across without any restrictions or drawbacks means that, as expose yourself to more domains, you will have more domains at your disposal. Since every domain is a rule, you will be able to control every natural rule if you have enough time.”

Lie Shang questioned, “Shifu, what is your domain.”

Feng Haochen patted Xiaoshuai, who was in his lap, on the head. “This fellow is my domain.”

“Old White Beard, are you serious?” Xiaoshua scratched his butt cheek.

“Using Celestial Swords Nine Catalysts, I grasped true spirit using the nine swords, and true spirit manifested as him. He is the strongest weapon and shield in the universe. There’s nothing that can destroy him and nothing he can’t destroy with his claws – minus himself. He can tear apart domains with his claws alone. When he returns to Celestial Sword, Celestial Sword will become the ultimate weapon; not even the nine dao artefacts can withstand its force.” Feng Haochen pinched Xiaoshuai’s cheek.

Xiaoshuai sat up. “You a cultured man with good judgement, Old White Beard. I always said I liked you. Our handsome and suave looks were, are and will always be unparalleled. We make the best team.”

Shifu is so prim, yet his domain is the complete opposite of him, Mu Yu thought to himself.

“Mu Yu, Ju Mang’s conscious is still independent, right?” Feng Haochen asked.

Mu Yu felt Ju Mang shudder inside him. Since Ku Mu destroyed his body, Mu Yu could not honour his promise to Ju Mang. “Shifu, I…”

“I can separate your conscious from his. You’re luckier than the others. Since dark herb altered your body, you created another type of balance within yourself. Accordingly, you won’t die even if I split Ju Mang off from you. The drawback is that you won’t be able to control wood element ever again.”

Mu Yu’s eyes lit up, pleasantly surprised.

Tian Ran queried, “Does that mean you can’t utilise Life and Death in the Blink of an Eye again?”

“I know how to use it already thanks to Universe Ruler,” Mu Yu elucidated.

“Does that mean Mu Yu acquired immortality already, making him the tenth immortal of Third Heaven?” inquired Cheng Yan.

“After splitting Ju Mang and him, yes,” Feng Haochen confirmed.

Nobody could find it in them to utter another word. Kongkong and Miaomiao were another Primordial Yin Yang. Xiaoshuai, A-Dai and everyone but Tian Ran and Lan Ling’er were immortals.

“It’s all right. We still have a long road ahead of us, don’t we?” Tian Ran giggled as she grabbed onto her father’s arm.

Feng Haochen caressed Tian Ran’s head. “You’re as optimistic as your mother… Mu Yu, don’t forget that time is also a rule. I may defy time’s restrictions, but I cannot manipulate it. You, on the other hand, have Universe Ruler, understand?”

Mu Yu jolted. “Shifu, Chen Tiandao was also an Apotheosis Realm cultivator, correct?”

“Half-step Apotheosis Realm. His goal was to control time. You can imagine how daunting a challenge that would be. He was only half successful. You can try because you can use Universe Ruler to make use of his knowledge. If I’m correct, his soul is still trapped in Fingertip Flowing Water.”

That means I might be able to grant my family immortality if I can perfect Fingertip Flowing Water! Mu Yu inwardly yelled in ecstasy. “Uncle An, I yield. I want to go do something more important.”

Kongkong and Miaomiao gave Mu Yu the thumbs up.

“We’re all immortal, so we have more than plenty of time to spar. I’ll start with Cheng Yan tomorrow. Loser cooks,” Uncle An said.

All the eyes shifted to Cheng Yan, warning, “You better throw the match. You better freaking throw the match.”

Kongkong and Miaomiao: “First Brother, think thrice, then think again, then think again before you act.”
