Chapter 2552: Chapter 2550: Hominini No More Ziyang

The essence of the Sphere of Chaotic Sky directly penetrated Ethan Smith’s Sea of Knowledge, washing away all the previous essence Ethan Smith had absorbed.

The chaotic thoughts in Ethan Smith’s Sea of Knowledge slowly came to a halt. He was drenched in cold sweat. What kind of technique was this?

Although his Divine Soul Power was at its weakest state, the fact that just a trace of essence could influence him to this extent spoke volumes about the magnitude of this technique.

“Heart Source Probe, a spell cast by Senior Brother Mysterious Heart using Divine Soul, is a technique passed down by the Three Purities Sect for interrogating one’s heart. Originally, it was a means for cultivators to constantly solidify their Dao Heart. At this moment, Senior Brother Mysterious Heart is willing to die to question Uncle-Master Ziyang. He wants to use Heart Source Probe to guide Uncle-Master Ziyang to question the source within himself, tracing back to the original origin.”

Caelan Russell bitterly remarked.

Everyone stood silent in place; they were now completely surrounded.

The Nine-winged Demon Tribe Army roaming in the Void suddenly appeared not far from them.

All five hundred troops struck simultaneously, a long halberd emitting a thundering sound, piercing towards them like a ghostly figure.

At this moment, a sigh was heard.

The black-red eyes of Saint Ziyang suddenly lost a trace of blood color. His body began to tremble fiercely.

Suddenly, he looked up and let out a crazed roar.

Subsequently, he struck a palm towards Ethan Smith and the others.

With this palm strike, Saint Ziyang became completely calm, his eyes returning to their black-red hue.

The left demon wing ignited into a blazing inferno, the whole sky seemed to be immersed in a sea of fire.

In an instant, Ethan Smith felt as if time slowed down by thousands of times, those dark creatures surging towards them.

The long halberds of the Nine-winged Demon Tribe Army, and even the breeze flowing in the air.

Everything appeared vividly clear, a white light enveloped them, seemingly pushing them far away.

In the blink of an eye, they seemed to have traversed through countless spaces, and Ethan Smith’s consciousness completely vanished.

Within the Mysterious Sword Sect, a Spirit Token emitted a faint sound, then suddenly cracked, turning entirely into dust.

“Ziyang…”

A Taoist seated within trembled violently, showing a look of sorrow.

“Holding on for so long was the limit of what you could do, no one can blame you. We shall discuss Dao on the battlefield again in the future. Rest in peace, from now on in the Three Purities Sect, there shall be no name of Ziyang.”

A Law Sword appeared in the hands of the teaching leader of the Mysterious Sword Sect.

He thrust out a sword, and a sword energy pierced through like a star in the universe.

Instantly reaching and thoroughly shattering the dark creatures that had been tracking through the Misty Forest.

When Ethan Smith woke up, it was ten days later.

At this moment, he was wrapped in heavy bandages, and the dense medicinal energy permeated through his entire body through the pores on his skin.

Despite this, he still felt an extreme weakness.

The terrible aftereffects of using the Judge pen, and that inexplicable final strike, seemed to have wounded his origin.

Otherwise, with the incredible recovery ability of his Glass Saint Body, he shouldn’t be so weak.

He gently stepped on the ground, adapting to his current weakened state.

He slowly walked out of the room, and was greeted by a majestic mountain range surrounded by clouds and mist, resembling an immortal realm. The mountain range was steep and towering.

Now he stood at the highest peak of the mountain range, overlooking the entire sect.

At this moment, he could feel the Sword Intent permeating throughout the sect, with sword sculptures, murals, and ornaments visible everywhere, creating an atmosphere rich with Sword Intent.

Even with a slight perception, one could feel the circulation of Sword Intent and the essence of the Sword Path.

“This should be the Heavenly Mystery Sword Sect, besides the Holy Gate Kunlun, only this sect would have such Sword Intent.”

Ethan Smith thought to himself.

“Ethan Smith, my friend, you are awake!”

A joyful voice came from behind, Ethan Smith turned to see West Hill and Renee Will.

“I just regained consciousness. Could you tell me what happened afterwards?”

Ethan Smith said with a wry smile, feeling a bit uneasy inside.

Though Mysterious Heart and others were good, facing one of the Four Sects like this, Ethan Smith also felt unsure inside.

His current state was far too poor, even an average Crossing Tribulation Cultivator could easily overpower him.

Moreover, his Judge pen was now completely exposed. If the Mysterious Sword Sect had any thoughts about him, he would be like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

“The last strike by Senior Brother Mysterious Heart seemed to momentarily restore a bit of Uncle-Master Ziyang’s consciousness. He sent us out, and seemingly left some things for us. Ethan Smith, my friend, carefully sense if there is anything in your Sea of Knowledge?”

West Hill curiously asked.

Ethan Smith carefully sensed for a long time but did not find any irregularities.

“Perhaps what Saint Ziyang left behind can only be possessed by the Daoist tradition. I didn’t sense anything.”

Ethan Smith said puzzled.

“It’s a pity, those are the legacies of Uncle-Master Ziyang. Like Senior Brother Mysterious Heart’s Daoist sword techniques, Caelan Russell and I’s talisman techniques, and our magic divine power techniques, Uncle-Master Ziyang had perfected all of these. The memories he left behind would suffice as the treasures of our three sects. Perhaps, as Mr. Smith said, the difference in cultivation systems makes it impossible for you to accept Uncle-Master Ziyang’s legacy.”

West Hill sighed.

“Brother Ethan Smith, we were able to return all because of you. We all owe you a life debt, and if you have any needs in the future, the five of us will definitely respond with full strength for you.”

Looking at Ethan Smith with his head full of white hair, Caelan Russell solemnly cupped his fists to thank him.

“During your coma, Mysterious Heart requested the Mysterious Sword Sect’s teaching leader to heal you, but whether using the Essence of Life, or various Pills and Treasures, none seemed to restore you to your peak state. Once we return to our sect, we must find the teaching uncle to see if he can find a way to recover your injuries.”

West Hill said softly.

They were able to come out because of Ethan Smith.

If he hadn’t used the Judge pen, not to mention inheritance, their bodies might not even be found now.

“Then I thank you all in advance.”

Ethan Smith said with a smile, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Actually, saving them at that time was equivalent to saving himself, otherwise, even with his state at that time, leaving was not realistic.

However, there are so many in the world who repay kindness with enmity, at this moment, their clear stance made Ethan Smith feel a rare sincerity.

“Where is Mysterious Heart, my friend? I don’t see him. Could it be that he is also gravely injured and hasn’t awakened like me?”
