Chapter 1888: Swordsman Guards the Heavenly Gate
by Yun Youzi, and the binding spirit rope within reach, Kong Xin felt a surge of despair. A ferocious expression suddenly appeared on his face.>'Bang bang bang...'Kong Xinjue's meridians were severed..."Roar!"
Mazuichi, Kyoshin.

A roar, akin to that of a tiger, shook the fairy city.
This roar of the tiger even surpassed the cacophony of all beasts in the beast tide, causing the surrounding ferocious beasts to tremble with fear, and the cultivators' hearts pounded with terror.

When the True Person of Ruquan suddenly awoke, he looked north and saw yellow smoke billowing there, faintly revealing a fierce tiger dashing towards the fairy city.
The mighty tiger's form was as massive as a mountain. With a single leap, it could shatter mountains and flatten valleys. Its eyes, large as bronze bells, emitted a terrifying glare, fixed on the Immortal City.
All beasts prostrate themselves!
The first great calamity has finally arrived!
Rao Quan, the true man, couldn't help but show astonishment on his face and eagerly looked towards the direction of the Jingtan altar.
With only the city-protecting formation and these people, it's impossible to withstand the impact of a true monarch-level ferocious beast.

Zhong Mao Zhi, governs the platform.
Two great souls felt deeply, and gazed afar towards the ultimate truth, Jing.
One person chanted:
“The celestial moon shines supreme, with ten thousand rays of clarity.”
When the wind shakes the pine, the moon breaks; when the wind is still, the moon remains.
Another person chanted:
"The clear yin divides the year into four seasons, long and short for three watches."
For the sake of selfless devotion, it drifts towards the boundless void.
The chanting sounds spread from the altar of healing, reaching all dharma altars under the jurisdiction of Tianshu Courtyard. All dharma masters and practitioners present could hear them.
Those who have thoroughly studied the Tao Te Ching, upon hearing these two pronouncements, immediately understood what they were to do next. Their faces lit up with excitement as they followed orders. Incantation lights flickered and responded to the ritual altar.
All present offer their respectful congratulations: "To the Heavenly Venerable, Moon of Tranquility and Pure Fruit!"
The altar beneath the two great masters trembled slightly. The bright moon in the sky seemed to respond, its faint moonlight showering down onto Zhong Mao's altar. The figures of the two great masters were ethereal and hazy, as if draped in a layer of moonlit gauze.
In the moonlight, the voices of two great immortals chanting together rose.
“The celestial God of Heaven, with red brilliance illuminating.”
Three scenes are perfectly reflected, and all heavens shine brightly.
Here's the translation:

The river and the sea are silent, and the mountains hide smoke.
One incense stick is all it takes, and the precious name resounds.

With the chanting, brilliant divine script appeared between the two great immortals, eventually manifesting into a spirit incense. Its fragrance drifted and ascended straight to heaven.
All the devoutly chanted: “Heavenly Venerable of the Exquisite Fruit and Pure Moon!”
The incantation soared, shaking the nine heavens and the bright moon.
Within the realm of Zhongmao, as one gazed upward at the sky at this time, the lunar halo surrounding the bright moon could be seen expanding to nearly twice its previous size.
Beyond the embrace of the twin moons, a third lunar orb now appears to shimmer in the night.
Just then, in the center of the assembly, the great master seated in the north suddenly rose. He swept his dust-cloth aside and performed a series of martial arts steps.
"The sincere and pure Tao is the ultimate goal, just like the bright moon shining in the sky."
The clouds are cleansed, no speck of dust remains, a radiant sun fills the vast emptiness.
All voices should respond in agreement.

Thus, reciting numerous incantations, each requires a corresponding divine symbol and strict hand gestures.
All present became increasingly solemn, like pilgrims in a holy place. They chanted together in unison, their incantations imbued with a strange and captivating rhythm.
“Pure and bright moonlight, orchid fragrance rests in the breeze.”
The space is empty, qi gathers and suspends in the sky.
Today's descendants of Xuan, admire the purity and simplicity.
We, your humble subjects, pledge our allegiance and align ourselves with the true path!
The bright moonlight bathed everything in a silvery glow. The moon grew increasingly brighter, as if it were truly about to fall from the heavens to earth.
Inside the Divine Court.
There was a temple, with an inscription above it: "Palace of the Moon, Yellow Flower, Pure Radiance, Original Essence, Holy Mother, Great Yin Sovereign."
This is one of the temples of the Nine Luminaries, where Taoyin Yuanjun resides. It is also called 'Taoyin Emperor'.
>
Within the temple, the statue of the Taiyin Yuanguan deity emanated a chilly lunar glow, clearly having sensed the summons from the lower realm.
With a whisk in hand, the grandmaster gazed up at the heavens and bowed to begin his address:
"A gentle breeze carries the fragrance straight to the Tai Yin Palace."

"Under the bright moon, the proclamation is made, summoning the supreme decree!"
The spell is complete.
The Great True Master suddenly flung the whisk in his hand towards the north, pointing distantly at the direction of Jizhen Jing.
In the Extreme Truth Serenity Immortal City, suddenly a divine light shot down from the altar of peace to the Bull Fighting Arena. A figure followed the divine light and floated in mid-air. It was a woman in a Taoist robe.
The goddess's expression was solemn. She wore a hibiscus and azure sky crown, and a rhinoceros-horn hairpin.
Wearing a purple Taoist robe, adorned with emerald green and five-colored clouds, and accessorized with thirty-two purple cloud and five-colored sashes.
A skirt of crimson silk, five panels with four folds at the waist, a jade ornament shaped like a sceptre.
Only then did she ascend, her gaze fixed on the heavens. Her breath seemed to resonate with the moon high above.
At this moment, the moonlight within the entire Zhong Mao domain surged towards Ji Zhenjing.
The bright moon shines in the sky.
"Wow!"
The maiden spread her arms, her Taoist robe billowing in the wind.
A beam of moonlight descended from the heavens.
At this moment, all the cultivators looked at the nun with reverence and excitement. The nun bathed in moonlight, her aura was ethereal and otherworldly, like the Moon God herself had descended to earth.
Infinite divine power poured from the top of her head, her aura rising steadily. However, her pretty face contorted in pain, as if enduring a terrifying shock. She gritted her silver teeth and finally crossed a certain threshold.

"Roar!"
'Boom!'
Outside the fairy city, a ferocious tiger landed heavily, its forward momentum faltering. It glared fiercely at the female celestial in the sky, sensing a threat from her, and let out a series of menacing growls.
'Whoosh!'
The maiden opened her eyes, emotionless and calm, her divine light like electricity, shooting straight into the ferocious tiger's gaze, provoking an even more violent roar.
The ferocious tiger transformed into yellow smoke and crashed towards the fairy city!
Ground combat raged on.
>Within the lunar halo, beyond the divine court.
Tian Yue Shang Ren stood sword in hand before the Heavenly Gate, facing off against the great demon saint alone.
"Get out of here!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The five-clawed golden dragon strode forth with billowing golden flames, whipping its tail and lashing out at Tian Yue Shang Ren.
With a flick of its dragon tail, it transformed into a golden rainbow ten thousand zhang long, its might awe-inspiring.
Facing this terrifying attack, Tian Yue Shang Ren remained composed. He pointed his sword towards the void, and thousands of sword lights surged forth, suddenly shooting out.
A sword river, vast and imposing, formed by countless blades, sliced through the air with unparalleled sharpness. It seemed capable of shattering all obstacles in its path as it charged head-on towards the golden rainbow.
‘Boom!’
The golden rainbow at the front immediately shattered, with glittering shards of light scattering everywhere.
The Jianhe River surged upstream within the ten-thousand zhang golden rainbow, unstoppable and triumphant!
The sword point is directly at the dragon's head!
The Five-clawed Golden Dragon suddenly felt a twinge in his brow. His eyes narrowed, and he raised his front claw, drawing it across the void, unleashing a surge of golden light that materialized into a golden dragon claw before him.
> Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
The dragon's claws were enormous, with razor-sharp tips that resembled knives. As it swiped at Jian He, the air crackled with thunder and wind.
'Boom boom boom...'
The void seemed to have been ripped open by a dragon's claw.
When Jian He cuts through the ten-thousand-zhang golden rainbow, the dragon claws are already here.
‘Bang bang bang…’
The dragon claws tightly grasped, holding countless sword lights in its palm. The sword light struck the dragon claws, like piercing into gold and iron, fading away one after another.
The five-clawed golden dragon whipped its body, trying to dodge Tian Yue Shang Ren. But the moment it moved, a deafening tearing sound echoed through the air.
Apparently, the dominant Dragon Claw was now shattered into pieces, as the Jian He surged forward with the momentum of breaking through the heavens.
The five-clawed golden dragon's expression changed drastically, letting out a series of urgent low growls. Its scales shimmered, and golden armor materialized out of thin air.
The golden armor was ancient and radiated gold light. Centered around a five-clawed golden dragon, it gathered into a swirling vortex.
Seeing this, Tian Yue immediately changed his sword technique. He was about to strike the five-clawed golden dragon with a river of swords, but he retracted his sword energy, connecting the beginning and end, transforming it into a sword ring that trapped the five-clawed golden dragon within.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
As the sword ring came together, Tian Yu Shangren suddenly felt something amiss and frowned.
Immediately afterward, a deep rumble echoed from within the sword ring, and a shadowy light flickered within the golden vortex.
This light was strange, like it could devour gold. Looking at it would give others a chilling feeling.
As the dim light spread at an incredible speed, its source came into view. It was an ancient obelisk.
An ancient stele stood erect on the back of a five-clawed golden dragon. It was entirely black, with mysterious inscriptions etched on its surface. The characters were winding and strange, like the dim light emanating from it.
The Golden Dragon carries the stele, roaring defiantly with its head held high!
The ancient tablet trembled, and a thick, dark light erupted, like surging waves or countless ghosts forming an eerie mist. Its aura was extremely terrifying as it surged toward the sword ring.
For a moment, the sword rings were dim, countless sword lights were infected by the dark light, turning black and then vanishing.
The five-clawed golden dragon surged forward, breaking through the sword ring's blockade. Just as it was about to continue its fierce charge, a sudden wave of unease washed over it.
The sword ring dissipated.
Instead, there was a sword light, a spiritual sword.

'Whoosh!'
The three-foot green blade hung suspended in the heavens, descending from the sky. As it fell, its momentum grew stronger and stronger until, in a flash, it transformed into a rainbow of sword light, its tip aimed directly at the five-clawed golden dragon's vulnerable underbelly.
Engulfed by the sword intent, the five-clawed golden dragon suddenly felt a chill run down its spine. It possessed a golden armor that protected its body and a powerful physique, yet it sensed an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
If it stubbornly resists and is struck by this sword, even if it doesn't die, it will be severely injured!
The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had overestimated his opponent as much as possible, but he hadn't expected that this person, without using the Broken Army God Sword, still possessed such terrifying swordsmanship!
Swoosh!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In a desperate situation, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon had no choice but to abandon its original intention of charging forward. Its body moved sideways, flapping its cheeks, and it opened its mouth to spit out a golden light.
The golden light's momentum was not as strong as its previous attacks, but it was more solid, like a dragon pearl.
"Bang!"
The sound of the collision echoed throughout the heavens.
The spirit sword hovered in mid-air.
The golden pearl suddenly dimmed, reflecting back, and was swallowed by the five-clawed golden dragon.
The five-clawed golden dragon let out a low growl, its body trembling as if it had been injured. Its eyes radiated a terrifying killing intent.
“Death wish!”
The five-clawed golden dragon showed a ferocious expression and chose not to continue charging.
During this period, it had already sensed its guardian deity, its gaze going beyond Heaven and the Heavenly Man, looking towards the Divine Court.

The next moment, a verdant glow appeared on the horizon.
The wind and thunder roared.
The emerald light, as pure as the essence of wood, shot toward the five-clawed golden dragon and disappeared into its body.
Though it was a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, he summoned one of the Nine Radiant Stars, the Wood De Star Jun.
It was the Great Sage himself, summoning guardian deities whose ranks equaled his own. Naturally, it wasn't as complicated as what the Grand Real Person had done.

Though powerful, demon talismans are inferior to orthodox talismans. They can only summon guardian deities, but not higher-ranking talisman spirits.
After becoming divine, the burden it bore became heavier.
However, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon now couldn't afford to care much; it had to go all out and take control of the Divine Court!

"Become a god"
Tian Yue, the celestial being, thought about the Daoist lineage's transmission, his expression grew even more solemn, but he didn't panic.
This was to be expected.
Divine power originates from the symbol god. After a cultivator 'transforms into a god', the enhancements they gain are primarily reflected in their talismanic dao.
The demon clan practices the art of cultivating demonic manuals, but they focus more on their own bloodline supernatural powers and fail to unleash the full power of "transformation into a god".
Of course, killing the five-clawed golden dragon was no easy feat.
‘Ding!’
The spirit sword trembled slightly.
The five-clawed golden dragon's ferocious expression suddenly froze.
This time, there was no myriad of sword lights, and even the spirit sword itself gradually faded away.
Within the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's perception, sword intent permeated the surrounding void!
No matter which direction it charges, it will be blocked by the sword intent.

Thunder roared.
The five-clawed golden dragon burst forth with streaks of emerald demonic lightning from beneath its body. The demonic lightning was powerful, instantly spreading throughout half the sky.
The demonic thunder struck the surrounding void.
The void gives off a strange and obscure feeling, but to the naked eye, it appears utterly empty.
'Rumble...'
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Suddenly, swathes of demonic lightning vanished without warning, with a fleeting glimpse of a sword shadow.
Yao Lei's thunder net appeared with many gaps, as if several spirit swords moved together, breaking through Yao Lei and slashing towards the five-clawed golden dragon.
The five-clawed golden dragon leaped into the sky, whipping up bone-chilling demonic wind. Its dragon claws lightly drew across the air, producing a thick bolt of demonic lightning that frantically struck the surrounding invisible sword intent.

At the same time, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon's body was frequently emitting auspicious light.
After the Golden Armor, the Obelisk of Fangjian, and the Dragon Balls, several more treasures were sacrificed. Some were intact, while others were damaged, all being the treasured possessions passed down through generations in the Kingdom of Gui Fang. Each one possessed overwhelming might.
In contrast, Heaven's Venerable Master possessed only two swords!
>
He urged his army-breaking divine sword, slashing two sword shadows towards the Nether Abyss and Nether Sea respectively. He then used his natal spirit sword to confront the demon clan's great sage, truly a master of multitasking.
Relying on a single sword, he caused the five-clawed golden dragon's every attack to be useless and unable to step beyond the thunder pond.
The five-clawed golden dragon roared furiously with rage.
The dragon's roar reached the Great Sage's mansion.
The demon soldiers of the Great Sage's mansion were on high alert, guarding against the True Monarch of Dao Court. Unexpectedly, the True Monarch of Dao Court did not choose to attack the Great Sage's mansion and seize the Sound-Awakening Drum.
At this time, upon hearing the Great Sage's roar, all the demon soldiers immediately changed formation.
The Great Sage's Mansion was now filled with a dense throng of demon soldiers. With each movement, they resembled a raging torrent, forming intricate and complex demonic formations.
The demon formation is centered around some demon kings.
The formation was complete, the demon kings raised their fingers to the sky, rays of light like swords shot towards the heavens, providing support to the Great Sage from afar.
Chi Jian Zhenren bore increasingly heavy pressure, his vision narrowing to just the lightning of Yao Lei.
His face was as pale as death, yet he stood tall, one hand resting on the hilt of his Broken Army Divine Sword, gazing calmly at his opponent ahead without backing down an inch!
At this critical juncture, the situations for Ine and Inhai finally took a turn.
>
The ferocity of great evil prevails, attacking the sword shadow.
At this time, the sword's shadow had lost its intimidating power, and Taoism also possessed a certain resistance.
Heaven-Overlord's gaze swept across the ground, urging his sword shadow to strike out with a final blow, forcing back the calamity. He then retracted his sword intent and immediately felt the pressure lessen!
'Bang!'
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tianguo withdrew his hand from the hilt of Po Jun Divine Sword, took a step forward, and stepped into the void. For a moment, the demonic thunder ahead seemed to stagnate.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Demon lightning illuminates the inner chamber, revealing the nearly insane figure of the five-clawed golden dragon.
Whoosh!
The spirit sword appeared before Tian Yue, hovering in front of him. Its sword intent suddenly contracted.
Heaven-Crossing Venerable's eyes gleamed, a long laugh bursting from him that drowned out the thunder. His laughter held an aura of startling power. "Please accept another sword strike from this old man!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
'Boom!'
Blades of light, ten thousand strong, their momentum like a rainbow!
Just as the heavenly being and the five-clawed golden dragon were locked in battle.
Zhongmao Zhizhiding Altar bestows the sacred mandate.
Zhang Zhenjun, sitting cross-legged in the lu altar and holding the Du Gong seal, slightly moved his expression. The celestial energy continuously pouring into the Shu Lu courtyard suddenly stagnated for a moment before charging into his body with an even more powerful momentum.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhenjun successfully broke through. However, he did not stop there. He stabilized his cultivation slightly and continued to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
Not long after, a similar situation occurred at the Bai Shi Zhi Zhi Tan's altar consecration academy.
Kun Dao held the white stone that sealed his official position, his expression tranquil. His cultivation had steadily surpassed the bottleneck and he quickly followed suit, entering the mid-stage of the River Diagram Fa Realm.
Unlike Zhang Zhenjun.
Before his cultivation was firmly established, Kun Dao slowly rose to his feet, taking light lotus steps as he walked out of the bestowal ceremony hall.
