Chapter 272 Hidden Cave Storm is Coming
The reason why Shi Xuan's eyes lit up was because he saw that there was only one sword mark on the stone wall. If breaking through the formation's restrictions requires breaking through the formation with force and leaving sword marks, then there should be dense sword marks all over this place.
Moreover, this is the back mountain of Biluo Mountain, not one of the five peaks. In addition, Old Man Jian broke through this formation restriction with his second-level Taoist strength, which means that the formation restriction here is not very high-level, but relatively high-level. It's just special. It is very likely that it was open to all Tianjian Sect disciples in ancient times.
So, how did these Tianjian Sect disciples break through the formation restrictions? The most likely way is to use a token or something to control the formation to enter, but in this case, when Shi Xuan uses Taoism to attack the stone wall, the formation restriction will also react, and weird things will never appear until he uses sword light. These situations It shows that the formation restriction here is a test of the sword light, and only those who pass the test can enter.
Since it is a test, and the Tianjian Sect disciples did not leave any sword marks, it means that the test of the sword light should not only be a test of the power. And if Shi Xuan's idea is true, then the test here is not the power of the sword light at all, but just the power of the sword light. The old man Jian forced himself to break through the formation restrictions before he misunderstood.
Shi Xuan closed his eyes and began to circulate the breath of creation, and then recalled the great freedom of the sword that he felt in the sword theory hall, hoping to simulate the freedom of the sword in this special state of mind.
After the sword intent invaded the soul and was defeated by himself, Shi Xuan had some confidence in simulating one or two images. This should be enough, after all, it was the sword intent of the immortal and powerful.
If anyone sees Shi Xuan at this time, they will find that he exudes an aura that is more ancient than the jungle and stone walls that have evolved over millions of years before him, and then the green sword light next to him moves towards him with the momentum of going forward and cutting everything apart. Cut off the stone wall.
The blue sword light of the Tianlei Fu Demon Sword went from slow to fast, and became faster and faster. When it hit the stone wall, the sword light was already close to the speed of the thunder sound of sword energy. At this time, the huge rebound force was generated, but this The force of the rebound was like tofu, split open easily by Shi Xuan's sword light under the sword intent that cut everything, split everything, and gained great freedom.
After splitting, the green sword light stopped immediately, but Shi Xuan could already feel a slight vibration coming from the bottom of the lake.
Sure enough, Shi Xuan opened his eyes happily. This stone wall was actually testing the swordsmanship of Tianjian Sect disciples. Only by learning the true meaning of those skills can they break through.
"If I didn't go to the Sword Discussion Hall in Hongfeng Mountain and couldn't feel the sword intention of the Great Freedom, I would be really helpless at this time. It's really God's will." Shi Xuan thought in his heart, "No, if I didn't go to Hongfeng Mountain, I would have been there long ago. When we get to Biluo Mountain, we won't be able to meet the people from Shenjian Villa at all, so we won't blow up the outer elixir and just learn the old man's sword skills to break through, so it can't be regarded as God's will." After a second thought, Shi Xuan denied it. Providence’s view.
Shi Xuan's spiritual sense sensed that a secret cave appeared at the bottom of the small lake. There were bluestone steps at the entrance of the cave.
Since it is judged that the test here is for those disciples of Tianjian Sect, not monks above the Golden Core, Shi Xuan is not too worried about the danger in the cave. After all, Tianjian Sect will not risk the lives of its own disciples for nothing. Play, but where is the place down there? Why did Old Man Jian never come out after he went in?
Carefully, with these questions in mind, Shi Xuan walked into the cave under the protection of the Golden Bridge on the other side, the Immortal Clothes of Cloud and Mist, and the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Shield.
…………
Outside the Spirit Sword Peak.
"Master Li, why are you in such a mess? Could it be that you have encountered the Golden Core Demon?" Ji Wujiu, one of the nine elders of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, asked Li Huaiyuan seemingly concerned, but in fact, he had hidden joy in his heart. If Li Huaiyuan is really If the injury is too serious, he will be able to make a fortune immediately. There is no law in this cave. What he has done, as long as he is silenced and traces are eliminated, no one will know.
Since Li Huaiyuan dared to come over, he had calculated the strength comparison between the two sides. At this time, he smiled lightly and said: "Li just suffered some damage to his flying sword. It's not serious. Thank you Elder Ji for your concern."
Ji Wujiu, who had no way to determine the extent of Li Huaiyuan's injuries, did not dare to take action. He only had a hundred years to advance to the middle-grade golden elixir, his natal spiritual weapon was only the Perfect Two Heavens, and most of his Taoist skills were at the fourth level. Even if Li Huaiyuan's natal flying sword could not be used, he would not be able to use it. We can only maintain a stalemate with him. With the addition of another low-grade Jindan elder Zhu Wangyan next to him, we can only say that we have the upper hand. We are at most 10 to 20% sure of taking down Li Huaiyuan. It is better to wait until the formation is broken to confirm Li Huaiyuan. Let's make a decision after the injury.
After understanding this section, the sanctimonious Ji Wujiu touched his short, half-white beard and said with a smile: "I wonder which master can actually damage the sun-penetrating sword of Zhuang Zhu Li's third level of perfection? I am very curious." "Even the young girl-looking Zhu Huayan next to him looked at Li Huaiyuan with a smile on his face. After all, among the golden elixir masters, Li Huaiyuan's strength was also at the forefront.
Li Huaiyuan chuckled: "Speaking of which, the person who damaged Li's sword has something to do with your alliance."
"How do you say this?" Ji Wujiu asked with a serious face. Could it be that one of the elders who is not at the alliance headquarters happens to be in the Heavenly Sword Sect's cave?
"Xingzhao." Li Huaiyuan said two words cleanly.
After hearing this, Zhu Huanyan's pretty face turned cold: "It's actually this thief who finally couldn't help but pop out after hiding for decades?" Although it has been confirmed that Xuan Yizhen's death was caused by the Lord Yin Shen, But without catching the real murderer, Xingzhao, the only survivor, became the target of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance's anger.
"Haha, actually Xingzhao has never been hiding, it's just that he has another identity." Li Huaiyuan said this first and stopped going on.
Zhu Wangyan was a little confused: "Do you have another identity? Please let Master Li tell you, the alliance will be grateful." Ji Wujiu also nodded.
Li Huaiyuan showed a sincere smile just now: "Li came here just to inform the two Taoist friends. However, the master of our village cannot come because he has something to do. Li is alone and can't help himself. He wants to cooperate with you two and get benefits when the time comes. At a certain point, Li will be satisfied.”
Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan looked at each other. They couldn't even break through the formation yet, so why not agree to him? It didn't matter even if they made a Taoist oath. After all, they were just sharing a little benefit. Whatever you share with him, after you share it, It is up to him to decide whether to take action or not, and with Li Huaiyuan together, he is not afraid of the alliance between the Luofu sect and other casual Jindan masters, so Ji Wujiu said: "With the help of Master Li, we It’s something you can’t ask for.”
After Li Huaiyuan asked them to take the Dao Heart Oath, he said: "That Xingzhao is Shi Xuan of the Penglai Sect. To be precise, Xingzhao is Shi Xuan's outer elixir!"
"What? Waidan! How is this possible?! But..." Zhu Huanyan was surprised and lost his voice at first, but he soon realized that with the presence of Master Yang Shen, there must be many loopholes in the Tianji List.
Ji Wu Jiu didn't look good. It seemed a little uneconomical to provoke the Penglai faction in order for Xuan Yi to die. Although it was related to the dignity of the alliance, firstly, Xingzhao was angered, and secondly, when he wanted to take revenge on Xingzhao, he couldn't do it at all. I never thought that he was from the eight major sects. If he really pissed off the Penglai sect, the casual cultivator alliance would not be able to take advantage of him.
The most important thing is that the dignity of the alliance is the dignity of the alliance. You don't have to do it yourself. Bullying the small with the big and bullying the small with your toes even if the Penglai faction won't let you go is just a joke with your own life.
"This is the Tianjian Sect's cave." Seeing Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan hesitate, Li Huaiyuan mentioned it gently.
"In this way..." Ji Wujiu and Zhu Huanyan mused. If they could really kill Shi Xuan and restore the dignity of the alliance, they might be able to be appreciated by the Supreme Elder and protect their own reincarnation. Moreover, in the cave world, they could do it cleanly without any tricks. Finally, it is impossible for the Penglai sect to kill all the golden elixir masters in this cave. If they can be so domineering, the casual cultivator alliance will not be able to be established.
"Li will also help. He blew up the outer elixir and damaged Li's flying sword. He must avenge it." Li Huaiyuan added weight again.
"There are no more external elixirs?" Ji Wujiu's eyes lit up. Even if Shi Xuan had mastered the differentiation of sword light, in the eyes of the golden elixir master, it was only an object that could be solved with a little effort. There was no sword light that matched the strength of the golden elixir. Differentiation, no matter how invisible it is, it can't hurt itself.
"But where is he now? Does Mr. Li know?" Zhu Huanyan seemed to have made up his mind.
Li Huaiyuan smiled and said: "Li doesn't know where he is now, but he will definitely leave through the entrance. Li has sent people from our village to wait there with several fifth-level Taoist talisman seals. Once Shi Xuan is found, he will first Use the talisman to seal the exit and trap him, and then notify me to wait. "
Ji Wu Jiu nodded: "Zhuang Master Li really has the foresight to do this, but the most important thing now is the Spirit Sword Peak matter. Well, people from the Luofu Sect are here."
…………
In the back mountain of Biluo Mountain, from the space passage deep in the jungle, two huge groups of heavenly demons flew out, a group of lantern-shaped monsters that emitted bright light, and a group of heavenly demons that looked like blazing red balls. The two leading demons, They are all dozens of feet in size, and their eyes are like wheels.
These demons flew across the jungle and into the void.
…………
In the cave.
Shi Xuan walked down the bluestone steps step by step. The empty and silent cave was not dark, because on both sides and on the stone walls above his head, beautiful beads that emitted soft white light like luminous pearls were inlaid every few feet.
The steps winded down, and Shi Xuan didn't know how long he walked. Finally, there was a flat ground under his feet. In front of him was a bronze door with five flying swords of white, gold, purple, green and silver engraved on it, which was simple and vicissitudes of life.
And there are some ancient seal characters engraved on the door: "The path of sword refining of Tianjian Sect."
Only then did Shi Xuan suddenly realize that this was the sword-refining path of ancient sword cultivators. It was generally designed for those disciples below the Golden Core level to pure and firm their sword intentions and intentions. No wonder the entrance required a sword test, not other methods. , only if you pass the test can you be qualified to come in.
Old Man Jian, on the other hand, has reached the bottleneck of advancing to the golden elixir and has been unable to break through it for many years, so after knowing this place, he hurried here, hoping to find an opportunity to advance to the golden elixir by returning to the path of ancient sword cultivation. As for why If he didn't go out, we would have to find his remains to find out.
After thinking about the cause and effect, Shi Xuan slowly opened the bronze door and walked in.
