The reason why Shi Xuan's eyes lit up was that he saw that there was only one sword mark on the stone wall. If breaking through the formation 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 relatively It's just special. It is very likely that it was open to all disciples of Tianjian Sect in ancient times.
So, how did Huizi, a disciple of Tianjian Sect, break through the formation restrictions? The most likely way is to use tokens and other objects that control the formation to enter, but in this case, when Shi Xuan used Taoism to attack the stone wall, the formation restrictions There will also be reactions, and weird things will never appear until the sword light is used. These situations show 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, Tianjian Sect disciple Hui Zi did not leave any sword marks, which means that the test of sword light should not only be a test of power, and if Shi Xuan's idea is true, then the test here is not the sword at all. The power of light was only caused by Old Jian's forcible breakthrough of the formation's restrictions.
Shi Xuan closed his eyes, started 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 being invaded by the sword and defeated by himself, Shi Xuan had some confidence in simulating one or two images. This should be enough, after all, it was the sword 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 carries the momentum of going forward indomitably and cutting through everything. Cut towards the stone wall.
The green sword light of the Tianlei Fu Demon Sword went from slow to fast, and got faster and faster. When it hit the stone wall, the sword light was already close to the speed of the thunder sound of the sword energy. At this time, the huge rebound force was generated, but The force of the rebound was like tofu, being easily and easily chopped back by Shi Xuan's sword light under the sword's will.
After splitting back, 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 Tianjian Sect's disciple Hui Zi's swordsmanship. Only by learning the true meaning of those skills and Hui methods can he 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 he didn't go to Hongfeng Mountain, he would have been there long ago. When we get to Biluo Mountain, we won’t be able to meet anyone from the Divine Sword Villa at all, so we won’t self-destruct the outer elixir and just learn the old man’s sword skills to break through forcefully, so it can’t be considered God’s will.” On 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 the Tianjian Sect, rather than the monks above the Golden Core, Shi Xuan is not too worried about the dangers in the cave. After all, the Tianjian Sect will not take his own disciples back for nothing. It’s up to you to play with your own life, but where is the place down there? Why did Old Man Jian never come out after he went in?
Cautiously, with these questions in mind, Shi Xuan walked into the cave under the protection of the golden bridge on the other side, the cloud and mist fairy clothes, and the nine dragon divine fire shield.
…………
Outside Lingjian Peak.
"Master Li Hui, 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 Hui Alliance, seemed to be concerned and asked Li Huaiyuan, but in fact, he had hidden joy in his heart. If Li Huaiyuan was seriously injured, he would be able to make a fortune immediately. There is no way to recover in this cave. What he did, 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 is not serious. Thank you Elder Ji for your concern."
Ji Wujiu, who had no way to determine the extent of Li Huaiyuan's injuries, didn't dare to take action. He only had a hundred years to advance to the middle-grade golden elixir, his natal spiritual weapon was only two levels of Tianyuanhuiman, and most of his Taoist skills were at the fourth level. Even if Li Huaiyuan's natal flying sword couldn't be used, , I can only be in a stalemate with him, and with the other low-grade Jindan elder Zhu Huayan next to me, I can only say that I have the upper hand. I am at most 10% or 20% sure of taking down Li Huaiyuan. It is better to wait for confirmation when the formation is broken. Let’s make a decision after Li Huaiyuan’s injury.
After understanding this section, the sanctimonious Ji Wujiu looked back at his short, half-white beard and said with a smile: "I wonder which master is actually able to damage the sun-penetrating sword of the third level of Tianyuan Huiman, the master of Li Hui Village? I, this person, I'm very curious." Even the young-looking Zhu Huiyan 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 in the General Headquarters of the Alliance happens to be in the Heavenly Sword Sect's cave?
"Xingzhao." Li Huaiyuan spit out two words cleanly.
After Zhu Huanyan heard this, he turned back and said: "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 Yin God. , 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 tell Master Li Hui of the village. I will be grateful to you if you join the alliance." Ji Wujiu also nodded.
Li Huaiyuan just smiled sincerely: "Li came here just to inform these two fellow Taoists. However, the master of our village has something to do and cannot come. Li is in dire straits and wants to cooperate with you two. When the time comes, Li will be satisfied if he gets some benefits and shares a certain amount with Li."
Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan looked at each other. They couldn't even break through the formation now, 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 Hui, We just want it.”
After Li Huaiyuan asked them to take the oath of Taoism, 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 came to his senses. With the presence of Master Yang Shen, there must be many loopholes in the Tianji List.
Ji Wujiu didn't look good. It seemed a bit uneconomical to provoke the Penglai faction for Xuan Yi to die. Although the matter was related to the honor of the alliance, firstly, Xingzhao was angered, and secondly, when he wanted to take revenge on Xingzhao , I never thought at all that he was from the eight major sects, and if he really pissed off the Penglai sect, the casual cultivators would not be able to bear the consequences when they returned to the alliance.
The most important thing is that the dignity of the alliance is the dignity of the alliance. There is no need to do it yourself, bully the small with the big, and even think that the Penglai faction will not let you go. That is making fun of 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 support their own reincarnation, and they could do it more cleanly in the cave. , and without any tricks, it is impossible for the Penglai sect to kill all the golden elixir masters in this cave. If they can be so domineering, the rogue cultivator alliance will not be able to establish a return alliance.
"Li will also help. He blew up his 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 yourself.
"But where is he now? Does Mr. Li Hui know?" Zhu Wangyan 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 the village to wait there with several fifth-level Taoist talisman seals. Once Shi Xuan is found, Just use the talisman to seal the exit and trap him first, and then notify me to wait."
Ji Wujiu nodded: "Master Li Huizhuang really has foresight to do this, but the most important thing now is the matter of Lingjian Peak. Well, people from the Luofu Sect are here."
…………
In the back mountain of Biluo Mountain, from the space passage deep in the jungle, two large 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 leaders Each demon is dozens of feet in size and has eyes like wheels.
These demons crossed the jungle and flew 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, he reached a piece of flat ground. In front of him was a bronze door with five flying swords of white, gold, purple, green, and silver engraved on it, which were ancient 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 return their sword intent and have a pure and firm mind. No wonder the entrance required a sword test instead of For other methods, only if you pass the test can you be qualified to enter.
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 retracing the path of ancient sword cultivation. As for why he didn't go out, we can only know by finding his remains.
After thinking about the cause and effect, Shi Xuan slowly pushed open the bronze door and walked in.
