Chapter 591: The World's Stunning Sights Are Nothing More Than This

In truth, in this world, or at least within Lingzhou and the Desolate Sea Realm, many cultivators and warriors remained ignorant of what lay at the absolute pinnacle of skill.

Thus, they commonly focused solely on power, pursuing ever greater destructive might.

Yet, when skill reached its zenith, a single step further brought one into contact with the "Dao."

This was the concept of skill bordering upon the Dao.

Skill, naturally, was no mere appendage to strength.

The Great Dao numbered three thousand.

Gazing at the prompts on the system panel, Boss Fang found it somewhat strange: "This movie is actually time-limited...?"

Not only did Fang Qi see a time limit, but he also noticed a caption appended below: Activation price 40 crystals (magic crystals), limited to 3 days, restricted to a single viewing per person.

"Holy crap!?" Boss Fang was stunned. It was bad enough that it was sold at such an exorbitant price, but it was not only time-limited, it even restricted the number of viewings?!

It was worth mentioning that as the proprietor, Boss Fang’s current authority seemed rather high; for instance, he could alter the release dates of movies across the various shops.

Consequently, Boss Fang delayed the release date for the new shop.

As for why he did this, Boss Fang naturally had his reasons.

The customers of the new shop were still largely incapable of truly understanding it. It was not that their attainments in skill were low, but rather—we chop and hack every day with great swords and sabers like door planks, so how are we supposed to suddenly understand this kind of thing?

Therefore, it still required some time to ferment.

Thus, the players at the new shop were currently having a miserable time, puffing and blowing as they continued to play Resident Evil 2, at most watching the movie version again, with nothing else available.

The layman watches for the spectacle, while the expert watches for the artistry; skill bordering upon the Dao naturally had nothing to do with the height of one’s cultivation.

Perhaps a more unadorned cultivation could all the more reflect the path of "skill."

And only those who truly understood it could genuinely comprehend the breathtaking brilliance of that single sword strike.

……

"The Decisive Battle at the Summit of the Forbidden City? What on earth is this?" Su Tianji had been practicing a highly novel spell recently and had thus arrived very late, yet she never expected that today...

She would actually discover something new again?!

"Ahahaha!" An internal surge of excitement gripped her.

Previously, due to unlocking some "Genetic Lock" and messing with such new things, her abilities in control, technique, and various other aspects had made tremendous strides, breaking through her former bottlenecks and mastering the refinement of thunder and fire into silk to absolute perfection, which was what allowed her to cultivate that new spell.

And today, she had discovered yet another new thing!

"Time-limited?!"

"Can only be watched once?!"

"So expensive?!"

At the Yuanxiang City shop.

City Master Zong Wu had also only just arrived at this moment: "The Decisive Battle at the Summit of the Forbidden City?! A movie?"

Within the "Boss Fang’s Sightseeing Tour Group" Penguin chat, Su Tianji immediately @-mentioned everyone: "Are we watching the new movie or not? Get on board, get on board! (Husky laughing)"

Jiang Xiaoyue: "The boss came out with a new movie again?"

A certain large white deer: "I want to watch, I want to get on board!"

It was terrified that others wouldn't take it along.

Nalan Mingxue: "@Big Boss Fang, is the boss coming?"

Boss Fang: "You guys go first (contempt)"

Song Qingfeng: "(contempt) It lacks atmosphere without the boss."

Tang Yu: "Come on, let’s get this show on the road!"

Liu Ningyun: "Trash boss, get on board quickly, stop dawdling (contempt)"

Boss Fang expressed: "Stop fooling around, I haven't even planned to screen it on this side yet."

"666"

Nalan Hongwu: "He has ideas!"

Song Qingfeng: "(Boss Fang rhythmically clapping, impressive, impressive)"

Boss Fang almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood onto the screen. This was bloody ridiculous... ever since these people learned how to fight with memes, all kinds of expressions had gradually emerged.

"Which of you bastards went out of your way to learn Photoshop?!" (Available for sale in My Space)

Song Qingfeng: "@Jiang Xiaoyue"

Boss Fang’s face twitched: Motherfucker, didn't this boss just scrounge a few bags of potato chips from you!

Jiang Xiaoyue: "Then we’ll watch first! Hee-hee! (Husky being cute)"

Intending to cutely coast through.

This... Boss Fang expressed, was completely unanswerable.

And at this moment, the three onlookers in the shop...

Jessica stared at the small blackboard: "They have a new movie to watch again..."

Kelvin: "The boss isn't here, should we take the opportunity to..."

Carl: "Tried it... took a sneaky try while someone else was out using the latrine, it’s useless"

"……"

Gabriel: "Can you help me take out the trash? I’m watching a movie, no time!"

The trio: "……"

What happened to being fellow countrymen and brothers?!

Tearfully, they went to take out the trash.

……

And at this time, Su Tianji, Nalan Hongwu, as well as Zong Wu, Gu Tingyun, and the players from several other shops in Yuanxiang City had all already begun watching this newly released movie within the shop.

The maple leaves glowed red upon the Western Hills, while white jade dew coated the Heavenly Street.

Nalan Hongwu and the others, forming a group to view the film within "My Space," watched as the vision before their eyes gradually darkened. When they could see once more, they found a long street shrouded in morning mist stretching before them.

On a night of the full moon, at the summit of the Forbidden City, a sword comes from the west, a flying immortal from beyond the heavens!

"The date of that battle was originally the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and the place was originally upon Mount Zijin in Moling, yet Ximen Chuixue insisted on delaying the date by a month, and the location was also changed to here..."

In the narrow lane of the small street, the shops had just opened their doors, and the steam rising from the vats of mung bean milk was clearly visible to the crowd as two men stood discussing the matter of the decisive battle a month from now.

One of them was precisely that man with four eyebrows—Lu Xiaofeng.

"Ximen Chuixue?" Nalan Hongwu muttered in bewilderment.

"Ye Gucheng?" Zong Wu also wore a look of confusion.

Yet gradually, they began to catch the drift of the matter; it seemed... both of these men were top-tier swordsmen.

Only...

"Why does it feel as though the people here possess such meager strength?" Zong Wu murmured.

"I feel the same..." Su Tianji furrowed her brow. "With such mediocre abilities, can there truly be any formidable swordsmen among them?"

Nalan Hongwu also harbored a touch of disappointment: "Let us watch a while longer..."

Legends always seem distant, yet soon, they beheld that figure descending into the mortal realm like a flying immortal from the heavens.

A young maiden in robes as white as snow held a basket brimming with yellow chrysanthemums, scattering them all the way up from below, carpeting the staircase into a vibrant mat of blossoms.

A man stepped upon the fresh flowers, ascending with slow, deliberate strides.

And in the moments that followed, they were blessed to witness that single strike—a flash of brilliance and splendor almost beyond the reach of words, its speed defying description! It was no longer merely a blade, but the very wrath of the God of Thunder!

"To think such a man, such a sword, actually exists?!"

Everyone stared intently at the solitary gleam of the blade before them, terrified of missing even a fraction of a breath.

Nalan Hongwu smiled bitterly; what he perceived was not raw power, but a terrifying swordsmanship refined to the absolute pinnacle of perfection.

Power, speed, angle, timing—every single element seemed to have achieved its ultimate zenith!

Thus, his opponent was left utterly devoid of even the slightest capacity to resist; the Tang Clan's world-renowned hidden weapon techniques found no opportunity to be unleashed.

Only those who truly understood the blade could truly comprehend the fleeting grandeur of that strike.

At this moment, they even harbored the illusion that all the breathtaking wonders of the world amounted to nothing more than this.

"This movie...!!"

"Holy crap?!"

"Too powerful!"

At this moment, they understood, most of them understood; this was not a matter of strength, but a realm of being!

"Then what of Ximen Chuixue?!" Nalan Hongwu could hardly contain his anticipation, eager to see to what heights his opponent, Ximen Chuixue, would reach.
