In other people eye, Wang Zhi was laugh like got problem in his brain one. Xiang Qi cannot tahan already and elbowed Li Ziye: "Eh, Li shixiong, you think this fellow maybe siao already or not?"
Li Ziye looked at Wang Zhi who still laughing non-stop, and then he smile bitterly: "I also not from Yangshen Pavilion lah, so this kind of thing—whether he got mental issue or not—I also cannot say for sure."
"This guy ah, always say weird weird thing one." Zhen Chanzi suddenly join their conversation: "He always complain meditation and cultivation very boring. If not for chasing that so-called 'eternal life', he said he confirm don't want do one. But if got something interesting happen, he sure want go and poke around, play until shiok. Now I think he find modern cultivation system more fun than old style lah."
Zhen Chanzi actually not the type that hate to talk. But he scared if people know he exist inside the jade ring, maybe some evil cultivators will kill Wang Zhi and grab the treasure. If fall into good people hand, then still OK, but if kena by bad guy ah, then he really jialat already. But these two already know his secret, so now no need pretend anymore lah.
Xiang Qi frown and say, "So this fellow really got short circuit in his head is it?"
"Hahaha… the old man tell me all the ancient cultivation nonsense… actually all is bullshit lah… looks like got so much drama and power, but actually all those cultivators also same-same one… like bunch of prawn, fish, crab and frog fighting inside a pond that going to dry soon. Everyone everyday go 'seek opportunity', who still want live like that?" Wang Zhi laughing until tears also want come out.
Zhen Chanzi angry: "See! I tell you before already, I talk too much to you lah! Also, how you know modern cultivator don't go fight for opportunities one?"
Wang Zhi just point to the light orb in the sky—that one where four powerful cultivators are fighting one guy.
"I don't really know what is 'Immortal Alliance', but from the name I think should be many sects team up together one. Then they still willing to send four big-shot cultivators to kill one guy, meaning either got no strong enemy liao, or now high-level cultivator already become like pasar malam discount item. But since they call it 'Xiaoyao Realm', should be same level like the ancient time 'Grand Ascension', right?"
Li Ziye nod: "Correct lah, small brother really got insight."
Wang Zhi keep talk: "So ah, if now no big war, but all sects still can cooperate, then it show that now teamwork already more useful than everyone fighting among themselves. That guy kena hunted because he break Alliance rules, meaning their law now very strong, like got system already. So modern cultivation not just focus on grabbing resource anymore. In that case, if I smart and can social well, maybe I can become immortal without so much stress, right?"
Zhen Chanzi snort: "You social smart? Don't bluff lah! If you really so good, why last time the whole Da Bai village laugh at you?"
Xiang Qi also sneer: "You really think modern cultivator all idiot ah? Want let parasite like you eat free rice?"
Li Ziye also shake head: "Modern cultivation not something you can cheat your way through—eh? Be careful!"
Suddenly Li Ziye face change color, then slap his sword box at his back: "Heavenly Sword! Out now!"
A beam of sword light quietly fly out from the box and float above his head, then boom—light explode like sun!
Then, that orb trapping the rogue cultivator also burst like soap bubble. From the explosion, some shiny light stream fly out. One of it coming straight to Wang Zhi them!
"Go!"
Li Ziye snap finger, then the Heavenly Sword flash until brighter than lightning and crash into the oncoming light beam.
Zhen Chanzi had been watching the Xiaoyao-level fight from start until now.
Since he and that rogue cultivator live in the same village for five years but never notice each other, that already prove that guy more powerful than him. And all these years he teach Wang Zhi, probably also kena watched by that guy liao.
And when he detect the four chasing Xiaoyao masters, he also know they can detect him. So, he no need hide anymore, just boldly focus his attention to watch the fight.
And just now, he saw the rogue cultivator send out some transparent rectangle talisman to the orb, so he quickly tell Li Ziye to be careful.
Sure enough, one light beam come straight here.
That sword light, shining until almost burn Wang Zhi eye—but when it crash into the beam, no sound come out.
Then, the sword light start spread over the sky, like paint until whole sky turn gold. And then, a crack appear. Bit by bit, the whole sky break apart—no lah, not really sky break, is a transparent barrier break only.
Wang Zhi blur liao: "Eh? What happen? Just now the sky got screen one ah?"
Xiang Qi also look at Li Ziye, very curious.
"That's the Great Matrix Heavenly Chart. Rogue cultivator's life-bound treasure," Li Ziye say with serious face. "Long time ago, our sect want to organize all complicated spell system, so invent a new math call Gui Ju Shu, Matrix Arts. That rogue guy used it to combine with Heaven's Principle, and form a spell matrix that can absorb and refine all law power… really geng lo!"
Wang Zhi really want vomit blood—What the hell is this setting? You guys reinvent matrix mechanics?
"That rogue already escaped. The others still chasing, but his movement technique too ghost liao, can't catch."
Li Ziye nod: "That one famous already. People say even God also cannot hit him."
Zhen Chanzi sigh: "You only Gold Core stage, but can shoot attack like Nascent Soul cultivator… maybe I really old already."
"Gold Core!?" Wang Zhi shock until mouth open big big. He thought Li Ziye same level like Xiang Qi, only Foundation Stage. Who know he already reach second-tier of immortality?
He remember Zhen Chanzi say, Gold Core already can make emperor bow down. But Li Ziye so low-profile.
Li Ziye wipe sweat: "Senior over-praise. My attack just now rely on the sword. If compare to ancient Nascent Soul cultivator power, of course I cannot win lah."
Wang Zhi suck in cold air—he now realise, modern cultivation level really beyond imagination already.
"That sword just now… it also called Heavenly Sword? Is it like standard issue magic weapon?"
Zhen Chanzi curious ask.
Li Ziye shake head: "Yes and no. Let me tell whole story lah, don't mind boring ah?"
Zhen Chanzi say: "We also nothing to do now."
Wang Zhi of course interested. "Tell lah!"
"Last time, when modern sect fight ancient cultivators, some enemy surrender to us. Low level ones we help them switch to modern method. High-level ones cannot kill, also cannot let them become too strong, so we send them to mortal world become king. Then, one dynasty called Da De come up. Their emperor, Xi, very ambitious. He spread cultivation technique to soldiers, and use his talent to win over many cultivators."
"Soon, many countries copy him, and Immortal Alliance start lose control over mortal world."
Zhen Chanzi nod: "History got many time emperor is top cultivator. Normal thing lah."
"But that Xi Emperor suddenly reveal true identity as demon cultivator. He got ancient evil manual, want use war to collect negative emotion and power up."
Xiang Qi say: "Actually he plan to destroy world. He cheat those powerful cultivators help him build weapon."
Li Ziye continue: "That weapon design is from Tai Yi Heavenly Venerable. He last time just play play create a theory spell, think too dangerous, never use. But Nuclear Chain King Fermi actually complete it. Flowing Cloud Sect's sword control method make it possible. With all help, Immortal Alliance build sword palace, Tianjian Palace, and finally make the sword."
"When that sword come out—wah, really like thunder god. Enemy all surrender. But after that, their leader Mei Di die suddenly, his assistant Du plan to steal the sword and take control. Tianjian Palace people not happy, call everyone to fight. In the war, got one cultivator kill five battalions of Mei Di army alone. People call him 'Five Armies Annihilation'—he's Palace Master Qian just now."
Zhen Chanzi praise: "Really drama. Oi, Wang Zhi, not your favourite kind of story meh? How come so quiet one?"
Wang Zhi just staring at Li Ziye's sword, until Zhen Chanzi call him back to earth.
He finally speak: "Senior Li… your sword ah… it called 'Fat Man'? Or 'Little Boy'? Or 'Thin Man'?"
"Haah?" Li Ziye blank out.
Even a Gold Core cultivator like him also cannot react to such strange question.
But for Wang Zhi, he feel like kena lightning strike non-stop.
This… this is literally a xianxia version of the Manhattan Project!
You guys got any idea what thing you holding in your hand or not!? Nuclear Sword Immortal, your mama ah!!
