Chapter 645: Chapter 305: Enlightenment Sword

"Enlightenment Sword Formation?"

Cheng Qingyu looked at Fang Xue incredulously, bursting into laughter:

"Do you know what you’re saying? For thousands of years on the Hongzhou Continent, the number of Great Powers who have attained the Enlightenment Sword Formation could be counted on two hands. In our Zhenyang Sect, only our founding ancestor Zhenyang managed it."

"You’ve merely had a miraculous encounter and stumbled upon an Ancient Immortal Sword somewhere, yet you dare claim to have attained the Enlightenment Sword Formation!"

"Such shamelessness, how could you be worthy of wielding an Immortal Artifact?"

Cheng Qingyu had already noticed that the snow-white Immortal Sword in Fang Xue’s hand was extraordinary, surpassing her own Emerald Immortal Sword.

If she could claim this snow-white Immortal Sword as her own, wouldn’t it be like adding wings to a tiger?

With the spark of greed, her mind turned wicked, but she spoke with righteous indignation:

"Fang Xue, a traitor to the sect, trespasses the mountain gate and steals an Immortal Artifact. Today, I shall cleanse the sect of you!"

After speaking, Cheng Qingyu unleashed her Second-Layer Nascent Soul cultivation. Instantly, a massive Emerald Immortal Sword appeared in the sky, emanating a sinister glow, enveloping Fang Xue completely.

By now many disciples of the Zhenyang Sect had gathered, exclaiming in shock:

"The Supreme Heart Slaying Sword!"

"She’s actually reached the Great Success Realm?!"

"Isn’t there a rule that the Heart Slaying Sword must not be used against fellow sect members?"

"But Fang Xue is a traitor, isn’t she?"

"There’s no way to dodge it!"

Amidst the cries of alarm, the terrifyingly murderous giant Immortal Sword had already locked onto Fang Xue, crushing down upon her!

However, the unstoppable giant Immortal Sword did not fully descend, halting about a zhang above the ground, unable to drop another inch.

"What is this..."

Amidst the astonished glances, Fang Xue held the snow-white longsword aloft, effortlessly blocking the giant sword overhead.

The giant Immortal Sword was dozens of zhang long and a few zhang wide, making the slender figure of Fang Xue beneath it seem ant-like.

The snow-white longsword in her hand appeared even more fragile.

Yet this delicate person and frail sword so calmly halted the overwhelming suppression of the Immortal Sword!

The stark contrast between the giant and the small left countless onlookers dumbfounded.

"First-Layer Nascent Soul?"

"Fang Xue is actually First-Layer Nascent Soul?"

"Wasn’t she expelled from the sect? How could her cultivation progress so rapidly?!"

Cheng Qingyu gazed at the pure white light enveloping Fang Xue, equally shocked, her expression extremely somber.

Witnessing this spectacle, she knew that Fang Xue’s snow-white longsword was likely indeed the result of her Enlightenment.

Otherwise, how could a mere outcast from the Outer Sect cross so many realms within two years, reaching Nascent Soul?

"Enlightenment Sword Formation... what kind of prodigious talent is this?"

Cheng Qingyu gritted her teeth; seeing Liu Su leap from Fourth-Layer Golden Core to Eighth-Layer Golden Core earlier had already shaken her confidence.

Now seeing Fang Xue directly reach Nascent Soul, attaining Enlightenment Sword Formation.

The talent she once took pride in now seemed utterly laughable.

"Are you all here just to humiliate me?!"

At this moment, Cheng Qingyu’s jealousy and resentment reached its peak. A trace of black light flashed in her eyes, subtly flowing across the massive emerald Immortal Sword.

So what if they’re geniuses, attaining Enlightenment Sword Formation?

They are still beneath me; I want to kill her, kill her!

"If you don’t stop, you’ll die."

Suddenly, an icy voice echoed in Cheng Qingyu’s ear.

She looked up to see a petite figure standing on a Flying Sword in the air, alongside a Phoenix Bird Beast with a burly man sitting atop it.

"Ruo Mei..."

The icy voice just now was Ruo Mei’s transmitted directly into her ears.

Facing Ruo Mei’s indifferent gaze, Cheng Qingyu’s heart trembled inexplicably, feeling ashamed and angry for her instinctive fear.

"I, a dignified steward disciple, intend to kill a traitor, and I see who dares stop me!"

"Enough!"

Just then, a gentle yet authoritative voice sounded, and Tantai Mingyue flew over on his sword, with a mere wave of hand knocking Cheng Qingyu’s emerald Immortal Sword away, returning it to her hand.

"Sect Leader!"

The surrounding people all saluted, Cheng Qingyu gritted her teeth and said:

"Sect Leader, Fang Xue trespassed the mountain gate and showed no respect to her elders; I was about to punish her."

"Enough."

Tantai Mingyue said, "Everyone, return to your cultivation."

"Yes,"

the crowd responded, hastily departing.

Cheng Qingyu, unconvinced, was about to speak but was interrupted by Tantai Mingyue:

"Fang Xue, during the Six Peaks meeting, you merely testified and were without fault. Since you’ve returned, cultivate diligently."

"Yes." Fang Xue bowed to Tantai Mingyue.

Then she headed towards Xiyue Peak, with Qiu Zhihe and Qin Gengyun in midair nodding to Tantai Mingyue and leaving together with Fang Xue.

In the field, only Tantai Mingyue and Cheng Qingyu remained. Cheng Qingyu’s expression was somber as she flew up to Tantai Mingyue:

"Madam Sect Leader, why did you stop me?"

Tantai Mingyue glanced at her and sighed, "No wonder the Sect Leader senior brother said you’re lacking in talent."

"Don’t talk nonsense!"

Cheng Qingyu’s face turned ugly, "Who in Qinghe City doesn’t know Cheng Qingyu is a prodigious talent; my father often praises me too, don’t try to sow discord between my father and me!"

Tantai Mingyue said, "Do you know that if the fight had continued, you would have already lost?"

Cheng Qingyu snorted coldly, "That Ruo Mei’s origin is unknown, her cultivation level higher than mine. Once I match her cultivation, I’ll surely teach her a lesson!"

Tantai Mingyue sighed, "I wasn’t talking about Ruo Mei, I was referring to Fang Xue."

...

"Oh my God Xiaoxue, when did you reach Nascent Soul?!"

On Xiyue Peak, Liu Su inspected Fang Xue thoroughly, disbelief etched on her face.

The calm expression on Fang Xue’s face was finally replaced with a blush from Liu Su’s antics, "Sister Susu, please, please stop touching me."

Qiu Zhihe smiled at Fang Xue and said, "You have done well."

Fang Xue quickly pushed Liu Su away and saluted Qiu Zhihe, "Thank you, Master."

Usually, she addressed Qiu Zhihe as Sister Qiu, but because Qiu Zhihe had praised her in the tone of a master to a disciple, Fang Xue naturally performed the disciple salute.

Then she bowed to Qin Gengyun, "Uncle Qin, my father’s health is improving, thank you!"

Qin Gengyun had won first place in the Outer Sect competition and procured two Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pills from the Spirit Pill Pavilion, one of which was given to Fang Xue’s father, Fang Chao, for which Fang Xue was deeply grateful.

Qin Gengyun sighed helplessly, "Xiaoxue, can you stop calling me uncle in the future?"

Fang Xue addressed Qiu Zhihe as sister and him as uncle, which confused the generation hierarchy.

"Sister Xiaolan." Fang Xue took Mo Xiaolan’s hand affectionately and went aside to chat.

The two had been through hardships together in Xingluo Town and besides Si Minglan and Qiu Zhihe, Fang Xue was closest to Mo Xiaolan.

Liu Su sat aside, looking forlorn, resting her chin in her hand and sighing.

Qin Gengyun approached with a smile, "Susu, what’s got you like this?"

Liu Su suddenly looked up, grabbed Qin Gengyun, and headed inside.

"Susu, what are you doing?"

"Husband, I want to cultivate diligently, I want to catch up with Xiaoxue! Let’s stay up all night practicing!"

Liu Su dragged Qin Gengyun into the small room energetically, with Yun Wu following them as the Spiritual Charging Device.

Qiu Zhihe smiled at Fang Xue and said, "Thanks to your influence, Susu is finally keen on diligent cultivation."

Mo Xiaolan looked at the snow-white longsword on Fang Xue’s back and asked Qiu Zhihe, "Sister Qiu, I’ve heard of Enlightenment Sword Formation before, but what does it actually mean?"
