Chapter 1156 Centennial Sword Ancestor!
The attack of Master White Mountain was beyond the limits of almost everyone here. And with the barrier array falling, the alliance members wouldn't have much of a space to hide. It wouldn't be unusual for them to succumb to the attack as well.
~SHUA~
But just as the barrier was about to go past the point of no return, Lin Mu appeared.
~DENG~
Three large piles of spirit stone chunks fell around him, and he directly channeled the spirit Qi into the array.
"Good! You're back!" Jing Luo said in relief.
"We were surprised seeing you disappear. One moment you were here and then you were not." Patriarch You Yi said, finding it confusing as they had not sensed it at all.
"I had to save Xiaobao. I could not let him die here since I promised Kong Hutao before. I sent him back to the Kong plane before he was struck." Lin Mu explained.
While Lin Mu didn't mind the other beasts dying here, as that was entirely his purpose in bringing them here, he couldn't let the turtle die. He was part of the legacy that Kong Hutao had left behind.
Besides, Lin Mu couldn't help but be reminded of Little Shrubby. From what he had heard, the relationship between Kong Hutao and the father of Xiaobao was the same, of a master and beast.
Lin Mu wouldn't want Little Shrubby to suffer, and thus decided to save Xiaobao from the attack. While he had no idea whether the turtle could bear the attack of the immortal Ascension realm expert or not, it was best not to take any chances.
Additionally, Lin Mu also got to witness the power of the attack first hand.
'I avoided it at the very last moment, but that feeling of threat was still there. I will not die from it but I will certainly be injured.' Lin Mu assessed.
It could certainly be said to be an important experience for him and allowed him to know where he stood now.
'But now to focus on the problem at hand…' Lin Mu thought to himself as he channeled all the spirit Qi from the peak grade spirit stone chunks.
He had saved up a few of them, just for situations like these, and they were perfect for this.
"The array! It's holding up!" The formation masters were stunned.
What Lin Mu was doing was the same as essentially patching up a leaking dam with some mud. It would not hold for longer than a moment and was not very effective, but doing it fast enough made it so that the leaks were still being held back.
"We don't need to repair it fully, just hold on for a bit more…" Lin Mu said, having sensed another presence appearing on the horizon.
Master White Mountain who saw his attack behind resisted was surprised.
"They certainly do not lack skill… let's see if they can resist my next attack then!" Master White Snow said as he threw out another palm imprint.
Chilly air spread and froze everything in its path. The might of the Immortal Ascension realm expert was clearly displayed. The attack not only contained the power of spirit Qi, but also Dao Traces!
That was what brought the qualitative difference between the attacks of a Dao Treading realm expert and an Immortal Ascension realm expert!
While a Dao Treading Realm expert was also able to use their comprehension of the Dao Traces and implement them with skills, it was barely anything compared to an Immortal Ascension realm expert.
It was like trying to compare the drawing of a child in kindergarten and an art school student. While both could draw, the difference in quality was almost incomparable.
Such was the might of the Immortal Ascension realm cultivators and why they were titled 'Master' in the Northern tribes.
They had reached a point where there were no longer referred by their names, but rather the title of master. They would get different titled depending on their skills and abilities. In the case of Master White Mountain, he was the peak expert of Ice Dao in the Northern tribes and thus he was given the title of White Mountain!
He was not only the master of elder Ku Mi, but had also made many Qi skills and other ice attribute techniques that the northern tribes used.
The alliance members watched as the large palm imprint approached at a blinding speed, threatening to freeze them.
But just when it was halfway to the barrier, a miracle happened.
"CENTENNIAL SLASH!"
A sword light appeared from the south and pierced through the palm imprint.
~SHING~SHING~SHING~
The icy palm imprint was split apart into a hundred segments from the sword light, dispelling its power.
"I was doubtful if I would get to fight a worthy opponent again. But seems like I wasn't lied to." A voice was heard as the clouds parted.
"Centennial Sword Ancestor, so you finally decided to act." Master White Mountain recolonized.
~WHOOSH~
From the clouds appeared the figure of an old man. His back was straight, while his shoulders were broad. His long hair hung from his back, held in place with a steel pin while his long brows were like hanging sword.
His white beard looked almost like the snow and couldn't be differentiated easily. He was dressed in slim robes, like what a wandering swordsman would wear. Then there were two words written on the back of his robes.
They read: Centennial Sword!
He was none other than the ancestor of the Centennial Sword sect, one of the three Immortal Ascension realm cultivators of the Great Zhou Continent!
"He's finally here!" Patriarch You Yi, and the others were relieved.
Lin Mu gazed at the newly arrived old man and found him to be different and familiar at the same time.
"That sword aura… almost reminds me of the Severing Heart sutra's aura. It is weaker, but still close to it." Lin Mu muttered to himself. "And the sword intent… he certainly has it!"
