Becoming a Sage Starts From Condensing the Essence of Time

Chapter 56: Heroism Lingers, Sword Qi River Blocks the Stars

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The stars were shining brightly at night, and the lone lamp at the rock point had yet to sink.

The night grew darker, and the wind that blew over seemed to be filled with killing intent.

A battle between cultivators made the surrounding commoners hide in their houses. They did not dare to light the lamps or speak loudly, afraid that they would disturb the battle and be implicated.

At the entrance of Qingbo Street, An Le stood on the spot and looked up. He equipped the Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword at his waist and was bathed in the cold moonlight and stars. His handsome face added a hint of demonic charm.

However, at this moment, the entire street’s brilliance was gathered by the Confucian-robed man with a saber.

An Le looked at it seriously and admired it.

Luo Qingchen raised his sword and slashed at his Dao heart. From then on, he did not seek the Great Dao, but only relief. This was a very shocking boldness.

The Dao heart was the convergence of a person’s belief, spirit, will, and so on in pursuit of the Dao. Once it was severed, it would not only cut off the heart of the Dao, but also the future path of the Great Dao.

Perhaps, with this slash, Luo Qingchen’s cultivation would forever stop here and no longer advance.

An Le was amazed by his boldness.

It was said that when an ordinary man was angry, blood would splash everywhere. However, if a scholar was angry, he would also be carefree and decisive.

Luo Qingchen could fly into a rage over the coachman’s death and cut off his Dao heart in anger. He had once gone to Prime Minister Qin’s residence to use the Eastern Sea Heart Cleansing Pearl to cleanse his Dao heart. Now, he raised his saber and attacked Qin Qianqiu without any regrets.

His sense of kindness and resentment were clearly separated!

He was not blinded by hatred and killed An Le with his saber because Luo Qingchen knew that An Le was also a victim. The real instigator was Qin Qianqiu.

If he raised his saber at An Le, he would fulfill the mastermind’s wish.

Every injustice had its perpetrator, and every debt had its debtor. Wherever the long saber went, it was looking for its debtor!

Even though Luo Qingchen might not be able to survive after swinging his saber this time, this Qingzhou genius who had once shaken Lin’an Prefecture might be renowned in Lin’an tonight!

After severing his Dao heart, Luo Qingchen’s body suddenly shone with the peak brilliance of his previous talent!

All of this happened too quickly, Qin Qianqiu was even in a state of confusion. When the sharp saber qi cut through his skin, it brought about the feeling of death.

Only then did Qin Qianqiu come to a realization. Boundless shock, anger, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes!

“How dare you!”

“Insubordination!”

“Luo Qingchen, you’re crazy!”

Qin Qianqiu shouted angrily from the carriage.

Wang Qinhe, who was beside him, felt his scalp go numb. Luo Qingchen’s cultivation level had broken through the fifth realm in both paths. This was not someone he could deal with.

Wang Qinhe was depressed. He had only wanted to show off to An Le, his future opponent, but he did not expect Luo Qingchen to grab the Dragon Spine Saber and use it to kill Qin Qianqiu instead.

The treasured Dragon Spine Saber seemed to have revived in the hands of a former genius like Luo Qingchen, and its clanging saber light was extremely sharp!

It was only a mile away, but Luo Qingchen was running faster and faster. His sword qi, saber qi, and mental power formed a tornado!

Qin Qianqiu’s heart trembled. He did not expect Luo Qingchen to be so crazy over a coachman!

Dragons went crazy when one touched their reverse scale, but humans also had their taboos.

In Lin’an, the coachman, Zhu Shan, was the only person close to Luo Qingchen. Now that he was forced to death by Qin Qianqiu, how could Luo Qingchen not be angry?!

“Luo Qingchen, you’re courting death!”

Qin Qianqiu’s expression also turned cold. After experiencing the initial shock and fear, all that was left was anger. As for his own safety, he was not too worried.

After all, he was the young master of the Qin Residence, Prime Minister Qin’s favorite and precious son.

Although his talent was mediocre, he was naturally protected by the Primordial Spirit aura of an expert and had many defensive Dharma treasures!

Luo Qingchen could not threaten him.

Boundless spiritual energy, Qi Blood, sword qi, and saber qi rumbled. They gathered on Qingbo Street in the night and rushed out like a furious dragon.

Luo Qingchen held the treasured Dragon Spine Saber in his hand and kept approaching like the head of the furious dragon!

In the distance, An Le was overwhelmed with emotions and was also a little shocked. This was Luo Qingchen’s full strength. His Qi Blood was blazing and his mental power was majestic. It was definitely not something he could compare to now!

This night.

In Prime Minister Qin’s residence, a majestic mental power suddenly revived. With a thought, it seemed to cause the stars to tremble.

The Primordial Spirit of a Seventh Realm Spirit Refinement expert swept out and instantly crossed.

“How dare you!”

The Primordial Spirit trembled and formed a powerful berating divine power!

However, Luo Qingchen’s expression did not change. He dragged his saber and continued to charge forward, instantly approaching.

On the carriage, the Qi Blood in Qin Qianqiu’s body also intertwined and burst out. His mental power surged. Even though there were many natural treasures piled up, with his talent, he had only reached the fifth realm of Body Tempering and the third realm of Spirit Refinement.

This was already his limit, and also the limit of those with mediocre talent.

“If a dog bites its master, it will be treated as a vicious dog. It will be beaten to death!”

Qin Qianqiu maintained the calmness of a superior and shouted coldly. In the next moment, his protective Dharma treasure was activated, and the phantom of a golden ancient bell enveloped his body.

This was the third-grade protective Dharma treasure of the Lanke Temple, the Vajra Bell!

At the same time, the Primordial Spirit of the Dao Protector expert instantly crossed over and descended. He raised his hand and his mental power turned into a wall.

However, the Dao Protector’s Primordial Spirit suddenly revealed a shocked expression and suddenly raised its head to look at the night sky.

It was as if an independent figure was standing on the moon. He flicked his finger and a wisp of sword qi sprinkled down, and his mental wall collapsed with a bang.

“Li You’an!”

In Prime Minister Qin’s residence, an incredulous voice rushed into the sky and completely shattered the silence in Lin’an’s residence.

Under this shout, all kinds of powerful mental power surged in Lin’an Residence, as if just a name was enough to cause a tidal wave in Lin’an.

On the long street, Luo Qingchen was stunned… Li You’an?

However, he quickly came back to his senses and seized this opportunity to suddenly throw out the Dragon Spine Saber. The Dragon Spine Saber crossed like a bolt of lightning and collided with the Vajra Bell.

Clang—

In the silent night of Lin’an, the ancient bell exploded endlessly!

The Dragon Spine Saber was sent flying, and the luxurious carriage under Qin Qianqiu instantly exploded, sending countless wood shavings flying.

Qin Qianqiu, who was wrapped in the Vajra Bell, was sent flying a few meters away and fell to the ground.

Luo Qingchen was already approaching. The silver sword light in his hand slashed down with a bang, continuously lashing at Qin Qianqiu, who was wrapped in the Vajra Bell.

Every time the Vajra Bell rang, it meant that Qin Qianqiu was hit once.

The third-grade Buddhist protective Dharma treasure… was indeed expensive, smelly, and hard.

Luo Qingchen really couldn’t break it, but it didn’t matter if he couldn’t break it. He just kept lashing at the Vajra Bell. Every time he hit it, Qin Qianqiu’s face turned paler. That was the impact on his mind when controlling the Vajra Bell.

With Qin Qianqiu’s mental strength at the third level of Spirit Refinement, it was too difficult to control such a Dharma treasure.

Towards the end, Luo Qingchen even personally rode the ancient bell. His Qi Blood surged as he punched the bell.

This might be an unprecedented moment of humiliation for Qin Qianqiu.

He was like a dead dog being ridden on. He was pressed to the ground and beaten continuously.

Luo Qingchen’s fists were covered in blood. Qin Qianqiu, who was inside the Vajra Bell, was also bleeding from his mouth and nose. His mental power was weak. Seeing that he could not kill Qin Qianqiu, who had the defense of a third-grade Dharma treasure, he suddenly stood up.

Unsatisfied, he kicked again. After a muffled bell sound, he quickly retreated.

The mental power of a Seventh Realm Spirit Refinement expert fell with a bang, wanting to capture Luo Qingchen.

However, the figure standing under the moonlight flicked down another wisp of sword qi, and Qin Qianqiu’s Dao Protector’s mental power shattered again.

Luo Qingchen took this opportunity to roll up the sword light and quickly retreat.

On Qingbo Street, Luo Qingchen dusted off his clothes and returned to An Le’s side. He cupped his fists and bowed to An Le. “Young Master An, see you again.”

“I hope that our promise can be fulfilled.” Luo Qingchen said.

An Le, who was dressed in white, cupped his fists and bowed. He said solemnly, “I’ll wait for you. Take care.”

Luo Qingchen walked to the side of the coachman Zhu Shan’s corpse and carried the burly corpse on his back. He looked up at the figure who seemed to be standing on the moon with a complicated gaze.

“Thank you.” Luo Qingchen said.

On the moonlight, Legendary Top Scholar Li You’an said indifferently, “Look, even a Seventh Realm Spirit Refinement cultivator can’t withstand a single sword qi from me. Why did you waste more than ten years thinking about it?” Luo Qingchen was speechless. Then, he laughed out loud. “I was too obsessed.”

“Unfortunately, it’s too late.”

“I’ve wasted ten years in Lin’an…”

“It’s time to go.”

Luo Qingchen’s laughter shook the long street. At this moment, his thoughts were clear, but it was unknown if it was because he had severed his Dao heart or because of Li You’an’s words.

After returning to his roots, the heroism within had not been eliminated!

Luo Qingchen leaped up and galloped out of Lin’an Prefecture.

The experts of Prime Minister Qin’s residence had already rushed over.

On the moonlight, Li You’an chuckled. “I’m very happy to see you gain the determination to sever your Dao heart today. I’ll send you off personally. If you’re willing, you can join my army and start as a soldier. I’ll keep the position of general for you.”

With that, Li You’an drew a line.

The sword qi was like a river tide that stretched across the sky of Lin’an Prefecture.

It blocked the starry sky and all the experts who came out of Prime Minister Qin’s residence.

In Prime Minister Qin’s residence, a powerful mental power surged like stars and sighed faintly. “General Li, Luo Qingchen injured the Young Master. This is a serious crime. Do you really want to protect this person?”

Li You’an sat upright behind the sword qi river, his plain clothes like snow.

“Young Master Qin isn’t dead, right? He just suffered some superficial wounds. Over the years, Young Master Qin has killed many people. I’ve also heard about it in the military. If we want to settle the score, Young Master can’t absolve himself of his sins even if he dies nine times.’

His indifferent voice was a little ethereal.

The people from the Prime Minister’s Residence were instantly speechless. They sighed again and did not say anything else.

There were too many things involved in Li You’an’s return to Lin’an. At this juncture, they could not afford to offend him.

The entrance of Qingbo Street fell silent.

An Le watched Luo Qingchen leave with a smile.

He walked to the side of the road, picked up the old yellow wine, picked up the beef wrapped in oil paper, and bathed in the stars and moonlight. He equipped the Green Mountain and Ink Pool Sword at his waist and walked towards the courtyard.

As for Qin Qianqiu, who was wailing in pain from the beating in the distance, and Wang Qinhe, who silently picked up the Dragon Spine Saber, they did not look at him again.

Stepping on the limestone road, the cold night wind blew gently on his face.

When he stepped into Imperial Ancestral Temple Alley, he stopped in his tracks.

In front of the courtyard door, two figures were chatting and laughing.

One of them was the old man from the Imperial Ancestral Temple who held a bamboo staff.

The other person was Li You’an, the Legendary Top Scholar who had just stopped half of Lin’an’s experts with sword qi.

An Le looked at the two of them and couldn’t help but weigh the old yellow wine in his hand.

Tonight, this pot of turbid wine was probably not enough..
