Grandpa, Times Have Changed - Chapter 40: There was no way forward in the past

Chapter 40: No Path Forward in the Past

Suppressing her excitement, Chi Jiuyu sat down cross-legged, held her breath, and waited for a while.

Hmm.

Didn't feel any change at all...

"Why hasn't it started yet, Shishu?"

"It will start if you lie down on the bed."

"That's so troublesome, can't it just start directly?"

"Start directly... it's not impossible."

At this moment, Zhang Yunlu was defeated once again in the light screen. Although she was gradually developing her own style, it would take a long time to perfect it.

But it doesn't matter, the one thing she doesn't lack is time.

The next moment, the scene in the light screen suddenly accelerated. Even Chi Jiuyu couldn't see what was happening at all.

After accelerating the picture, Xu Xing turned his head and looked at her.

"Then, let's begin."

Buzz~

A very faint buzzing sound rang in her ears, her vision began to blur, and in a trance, Chi Jiuyu only felt her consciousness constantly sinking and falling. Any means lost their effect at this instant.

She didn't know how long it had been, but she felt like she had finally 'landed'.

Her vision recovered, and before her eyes was an endless expanse of gray mist. Even the ground beneath her feet was the same, yet she felt as if she were stepping on solid ground.

Moreover, she could feel her body, magic power, and soul with incredible clarity, and even her storage ring was there!

It was as if she herself had truly arrived in this space.

How big would this place be?

Looking at the gray mist all around, such a question suddenly arose in her mind.

As a person of action, Chi Jiuyu didn't just stand there. She summoned an ancient long sword interwoven with golden and green colors.

This was her Lifebound Spirit Sword. Although a Sword Spirit had not yet been nurtured, the sword's spirituality was already extremely abundant.

It can even simulate the spirituality of my Lifebound Spirit Sword!

Chi Jiuyu became even more curious. She immediately used the Human and Sword as One Divine Ability and fled in one direction at full speed.

Her speed instantly broke the sound barrier, and continuous sonic booms echoed. Even Qi Refining stage cultivators could only detect a blurry afterimage flashing past.

Even so, this was not the limit of her speed.

In the living room outside, Chi Jiuyu's main body fell onto the sofa, with more than half of her head hanging off the sofa, looking as if she were fast asleep.

A light screen rose, standing side by side with Zhang Yunlu's light screen.

"Such a fuss," Xu Xing sighed softly.

Never mind, let's start as soon as possible.

Thus, two lines of golden text suddenly appeared in the sight of Chi Jiuyu, who was exploring this space.

【Enemy: Yuanying Stage Great Perfection Xu Xing】

【Objective: Withstand three swords and survive】

She stopped immediately, and the stirred air current agitated the surrounding gray mist. The long sword circled around her and finally returned to her hand.

Is it about to begin!

Chi Jiuyu took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

She had always been confident, confident that she was no worse than anyone else, but the opponent she was about to face was Shishu, who stood at the peak of the Tai Xuan Realm, just like her Master.

Step! Step!

Footsteps came from afar. In the depths of the gray mist, a phantom figure slowly emerged, and wisps of mist merged into it, making it increasingly solid.

As the figure became more solid, the swirling gray mist gradually turned red.

But the red did not appear strange or bloody; instead, it gave a feeling of grandeur and righteousness, like a burning fire dispelling the night.

The red mist gathered in its palm, condensing into a sword. The sword was completely crimson, and as divine light flowed, a phantom image of a red moon seemed to appear.

Moon, the moon?

Shouldn't it be the sun?

But it seems there aren't any famous swords in the sect related to the sun. There are quite a few related to the 'moon'.

Which one is this, Shishu?

As her thoughts turned, the figure had completely solidified. Its form was identical to Xu Xing's, but... its face could only be seen as swirling gray mist.

"Shishu, where's your face?" Chi Jiuyu blurted out.

【Stop talking nonsense. If you don't draw your sword, he will make the first move.】

"I was just asking," she mumbled.

Then she looked at the phantom image of Xu Xing not far away, full of fighting spirit, with faint golden light in her eyes.

Tai Xu Breaking Delusion Golden Eye.

The Divine Ability is as its name suggests, peeking into the void and breaking delusions.

With Chi Jiuyu's mastery of this Divine Ability, she could find some flaws even if the opponent was a Celestial Transformation Stage cultivator.

However, the Divine Ability that had always been effective seemed to have lost its effect at this moment. She couldn't find even a single flaw.

The phantom image of Xu Xing did not wait any longer.

"First sword."

In a voice as calm as still water, the crimson long sword slowly lifted.

Damn!

Chi Jiuyu's scalp tingled, and she felt extremely uneasy. The extreme danger made her feel every bit of her flesh, blood, and soul trembling.

Without hesitation, she used the Human and Sword as One Divine Ability and fled into the distance.

Tactical retreat first!

"Slash."

Red light covered the sky and earth, unavoidable and unstoppable. All divine abilities and techniques seemed extremely ridiculous in front of this sword.

Like a falling sun, Chi Jiuyu, who was fleeing into the distance, was directly submerged by the endless light. The moment before her body vaporized, she had only one thought in her mind.

How the hell can this be Yuanying Stage?

............

Outside, Xu Xing held the bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chi Jiuyu being engulfed by the light.

Of all cultivation levels, she had to choose the Yuanying Stage.

During his Yuanying Stage, he re-organized what he had learned and created the prototype of the Tai Xu Sword Canon.

It could be said that among all Yuanying Stage cultivators throughout history, none could surpass him.

............

Tens of seconds later, the gray mist re-formed Chi Jiuyu. She felt somewhat doubtful about life.

"Shishu! You're cheating! How can this be Yuanying Stage!"

This is too ridiculously strong. Even a weaker Celestial Transformation Stage cultivator might not be able to block it, right?

【Try again. This time, let you feel it clearly.】

"Okay!"

Anyway, she wasn't really dying. This time, she wanted to see how Shishu used Yuanying Stage magic power to unleash such an exaggerated attack.

She strode up to the phantom image of Xu Xing.

Without warning, she suddenly thrust her sword forward, and the sword body actually disappeared.

Flowing Cloud Swordplay!

In fact, she had learned this set of swordplay when fighting Zhang Yunlu.

Facing the sudden attack, the phantom image of Xu Xing just slightly shifted its body and avoided it.

"First sword."

Again, a voice as calm and indifferent as before.

Chi Jiuyu, who was prepared for a follow-up move, suddenly found that she couldn't use a second move. Black and white spread out with the two of them as the center. Everything seemed to be solidified, and only that sword remained dazzlingly red.

She also truly felt the magic power aura of the phantom image of Xu Xing.

Yuanying Stage Great Perfection.

It did not exceed hers.

This really is Yuanying Stage!

Just as Chi Jiuyu thought she was going to die again, the crimson sword finally stopped before her Ajna and did not pierce in.

Not only that, the spreading black and white colors also slowly retracted.

Whoosh~

The phantom image of Xu Xing turned into a wisp of mist and dissipated.

【How does it feel?】

How else can it feel? Awesome!

Chi Jiuyu was a bit discouraged. She had always thought she was very awesome!

"Are there many Yuanying Stage cultivators as powerful as Shishu?"
