Chapter 2796: The Stone Tablet Body

k were originally there, but two high-grade spirit stones have vanished without a trace. There are no traces of birds, beasts, or humans on the ground. For cultivators, it is easy to leave no trace on...With a whoosh, a startling flying sword tore through the air, aiming straight for Gou Qian's vital point in his back.

Gou Qian's hairs stood on end suddenly. Although there were rumors that besides Lu Xiaoteng, there was another extremely powerful swordsman in the Chiyue Desert. However, most outsiders only knew his name but had never seen him. Even when he went to the Buddhist sect with Duan Bi and Xiang Qingcheng last time to exert pressure, he didn't really make a move.

While Jianxiu Wuming remains largely unknown to the outside world, far less famous than Lu Xiaoteng, the profound sword intent emanating from him puts immense pressure on Gou Qian, a pressure no less formidable than that caused by Lu Xiaoteng's severed arm.

Gou Qian stretched out his palm and slapped it, a giant stone slab shield blocking the flying sword's path. *Buzz* The large shield cracked, and the flying sword pierced through the shield.

With the lotus avatar joining the fray, Gou Qian could no longer control this ice thunder formation with ease. Seized by the one-armed man's opportunity, the flaming giant hand suddenly trembled, and the formless fire seal formed from flames plunged into each crevice of the lightning barrier.

Suddenly, a small hole appeared in the barrier, and the armless figure emerged from it. Once out of formation, Gou Qian's array immediately lost its original threat. The armless figure reached into the void, and under the surging Wuxiang Xuanhuo, three flame-light swords were formed. These were precisely the Da Bian Tian Dao forged by fusing the two fire scriptures. Although only using Wuxiang Xuanhuo, the magical powers evolved through their fusion were infinitely varied.

Three enormous Blazing Heaven swords, each carrying boundless flames, slashed down from the sky. Wherever the blades passed, thunderclouds shattered, icy mist surged, and even the ice layers frozen for countless years creaked ominously.

Gou Qian's heart skipped a beat. He now understood that the severed arm had only held back its true power during their fight, intending to wait for reinforcements. He secretly chided himself for his carelessness, failing to notice that besides the severed arm, there was also a lotus blossom clone lurking all along.

In fact, it's no wonder Gou Qian felt this way. Ever since Lu Xia Tian discovered the drawbacks of the Jian Tai (sword embryo), he had been trying to conceal his aura and cultivated many treasures that could mask the Jian Tai's aura. Even powerful demons who were stronger than the Lotus avatar might not be able to surpass it in this aspect. Now, Gou Qian's situation was rapidly deteriorating.

Such idle methods could not withstand the severed arm and lotus blossom incarnation divine ability. Gou Qian gritted his teeth, his body flickering, and he transformed into a stone tablet towering several meters high. The dense dots on the stone tablet resembled stars in the sky, and its deep or shallow lines seemed like distant galaxies in the void.

Seeing Gou Qian transformed into a stone tablet, Duan Bi's heart was filled with astonishment. This Gou Qian was not human after all. He had spent so much time with him before, yet he hadn't noticed it at all.

The creature before him was unlike the ice fox demon king or other realm spirits he had encountered previously. If not for his and Lotus's split selves teaming up to corner it, it likely wouldn't have revealed its true form.

Knowing Gou Qian's identity was extraordinary, Duan Bi and Lianhua's split body were both severely shaken. Flying swords and the blazing Heavenly Blade surrounded Gou Qian, attacking relentlessly and giving him no chance to breathe or escape.

This Gou Qi is quite skilled. At first glance, his body appears to be just a stone stele. If you are not careful, your divine sense might get trapped within the celestial river and starry sky of the stele.

The furious power of thunder and the bone-chilling cold air intertwined, as spiritual energy stirred together under the clash of the Dabi Tian Dao and flying swords. Gou Qian's divine powers were formidable, but facing the combined assault of the lotus avatar and the one-armed warrior, he was suppressed within a short time.

The Blazing Heaven Swords and the ethereal Flying Sword crisscrossed the heavens and earth, cleaving clouds and splitting mountains. Gou Qian's transformed stone tablet used every means at its disposal, but the power of thunder it could command and the icy air diminished further. Until three Blazing Heaven Swords pressed down on the stone tablet, the ethereal Flying Sword, taking advantage of Gou Qian's inability to split his attention, flashed once across the center of the stone tablet.

Screams echoed alongside a cracking sound as a gaping hole appeared in the center of the colossal stone slab. From the heart of the hole, crisscrossing sword qi carved numerous fissures into its surface. The stone tablet, once animated by the power of lightning and icy might, now lay inert, its power dispersed into nothingness.

The emaciated figure of Gou Qian, the withered old man with a long beard, appeared again, but he hovered in mid-air with an extremely detached air, like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

“Unexpectedly, after planning for countless years, I was still foiled by the two of you. It seems that humans are no match for heaven's calculations.” Gou Qian sighed deeply.

“Looks like you should be a higher level Boundary Spirit than the Ice Lynx old monster. If it weren't for my friends helping me, your plan would have most likely succeeded.” The Broken Arm Divine Consciousness spread out, and didn’t detect any other potential threats. At that moment, he felt slightly more at ease.

“The victor takes all, ha-ha,” Gou Qian chuckled and didn't leave any useful information to the Armless One or the Lotus Avatar. His indifferent figure, along with that dilapidated stele, exploded into fragments and vanished without a trace.

The lotus avatar's brow furrowed slightly. With a beckoning hand, it retrieved a miniature Sumeru ring from the pile of stones.

"At least there are still some gains."

Upon opening the Mount Sumeru Ring, they found numerous spiritual beings within. However, most were suitable for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage. Besides a hefty amount of Spirit Crystals and two that could be used directly, there was also a cultivation technique that completely captured the attention of the Armless One and the Lotus Avatar.

"The Soul Returning Curse... It's actually a secret method to help people recover their soul power and mend fragmented memories," the Lotus Split exclaimed in astonishment.

"Also, I don't know if it will be helpful for Xiang Hua."

Even though the main body had confidence in Xiang Hua and didn't believe he would be at a disadvantage, Xiang Hua had spent thousands of years in the Huazong sect and received great kindness from the Buddha. Because Duan Bi used Ming Yuan to escape, Ming Yuan's role as a chess piece had already been lost. At this time, no one could replace Xiang Hua's role.

“Just try it and you’ll know. The problem is how to get this cultivation technique into my hands. Xiang Hua is now well-protected by the Buddhist Sect, even if it were you or me, we couldn't infiltrate the Buddhist Sect to get close to him. Ming Yuan that monk exposed himself early on, and right now there isn’t even a replacement.” The lotus avatar shook his head.

"Let's put this aside for now and make preparations on two fronts. On the one hand, we'll see if there are any other monks in the Buddhist sect who can contact the original body and start with this Soul Returning Curse. On the other hand, we'll still follow the original plan and use the Boundary Heaven Stone to help Heavenly Demon Jun recover his strength first."

The broken arm said, whether this soul-returning curse would be effective against the memory loss caused by the Forgetfulness Stone was something he and Lotus could not know. It’s impossible to say for sure as both of them are simply fragmented aspects. Casting this technique requires a profound understanding of its intricacies, and it places extremely stringent demands on the practitioner. Even Broken Arm and Lotus's avatars could not match the achievements of the original being in this regard.

“That’s exactly right.” The lotus avatar nodded.
