Hearing what the mysterious woman said, Chen Xuan discovered that the first-level sword immunity seemed to be a little more powerful than the fire immunity.
Because it targets not only sword cultivators, but alchemy cultivators, soul cultivators, talisman cultivators... As long as they dare to show their swords, they will suffer big losses in front of Chen Xuan.
"Senior, I have to go out in advance to prepare. The rest of the practice can only be continued after the Immortal Ascension Competition is over."
As Chen Xuan spoke, he glanced at the wing-like Immortal Sword Domain floating behind the mysterious woman. After thinking about it, he still held back his words.
The mysterious woman seemed to know what Chen Xuan was thinking. With a thought, the shadow of the thousand swords of the Immortal Sword Domain quickly retreated and flew in front of Chen Xuan.
"You can go. There is a powerful witch outside the cave. Who is she to you?"
Chen Xuan didn't expect that the mysterious woman could actually sense Xin Yiwu from the outside world.
After a change of thought, Chen Xuan decided to tell the truth: "The demon girl's name is Xin Yiwu, and she is a subordinate of the powerful 'Xie Lian' of a certain evil sect in the immortal world. I wonder if the senior knows her?"
"Evil lotus?" The mysterious woman was not surprised, because when she was searching for Chen Xuan's origin, she sensed the existence of an evil lotus in Chen Xuan's body, "Now you should not have too much contact with anything related to the evil lotus.
, but we can use that little witch for the time being."
"This Panhuang Sword of Shangyan was forged by evil lotus. Now that I have obtained it, I wonder if it meets the requirements of the senior?" As Chen Xuan spoke, he flew the Panhuang Sword of Shangyan towards the mysterious woman.
After catching it, the mysterious woman flicked the sword, not affected by the flames at all.
"Although this sword cannot reach the level of an immortal sword, since it is made of evil lotus, its potential is definitely far greater than that of most immortal swords. You must try your best to improve its grade. This will be of great use to me."
"If the level of Panhuang Sword of Shangyan increases too quickly, will I attract the attention of Evil Lotus earlier?" Chen Xuan was concerned about this issue. The reason why he told the truth was that he wanted to use the mysterious woman to fight against Evil Lotus.
contend.
"Xie Lian forged a sword that could contain the fire of the beginning in order to deal with someone; but Xie Lian is not a swordsman. If his sword is in my hand, can it still be controlled by him?"
The mysterious woman's words contained strong confidence, giving Chen Xuan a very secure feeling.
Originally, Chen Xuan used his own will to refine the Sword Flame Panhuang Sword, but he always felt it was very inappropriate and worried that he might be infected by the will of the evil lotus at any time.
But now that the mysterious woman, an unparalleled master of swordsmanship, is relying on him, Chen Xuan can be free from worries.
"Senior, I have two more questions. One is, can you tell me your true identity? The other is, does the Eight-Bud Pagoda have a ninth floor?" Before Chen Xuan left the small pagoda, he asked the two most curious questions.
"When you reach the level of cultivation, you will naturally know the answers to these questions." The mysterious woman did not answer directly, and her origins were still shrouded in a veil of mystery.
Chen Xuan did not force the mysterious woman to answer. After thanking him, he escaped from the Eight Pagodas and returned to the cave.
After tidying up for a while, Chen Xuan walked out of the cave. As soon as he came out, he saw Qingquanzi meditating on the platform in front of him, breathing in vital energy against the mountain breeze and fairy mist, showing a very fairy-like spirit.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, walked over and greeted: "Taoist Master Qingquanzi, have you been waiting here for this Evil Emperor?"
"Fellow Evil Emperor, you are finally out of seclusion." Qingquanzi heard Chen Xuan's voice behind him. He stood up with a smile, turned around and faced Chen Xuan, revealing a face with white eyebrows and white beard.
"There are only five days left before the Ascension Competition. If I don't come out, I'm afraid I will miss this competition." Chen Xuan smiled and talked to Qingquanzi.
Communicating with such an approachable old Taoist was a rare moment of leisure for Chen Xuan during his cultivation years.
Qingquanzi said with a smile: "Yes, if you miss one term, you have to wait another ten years; fellow Taoist Evil Emperor, you are still young and can afford to wait, but I, an old Taoist, cannot afford to wait."
"How could it be? Although we are not immortals, we live as long as heaven and earth. For us, ten years is just a blink of an eye." Chen Xuan noticed that Qingquanzi, who had an optimistic attitude, was actually a bit negative today.
From the outside, Qingquanzi is indeed old, but no matter how old he looks, the Holy Emperor still enjoys an unlimited lifespan.
Qingquanzi shook his head and sighed: "Fellow Evil Emperor, you are very young and have not experienced a life like mine. When a person has lived for millions or tens of millions of years, he has never been able to break through the bottleneck and consciously rise.
When there is no hope of immortality, the Taoist heart will age much faster than the appearance. Once the Taoist heart becomes old and exhausted, the cultivation level will also decline. At that time, even if you live as long as the world, you will commit suicide out of despair, and your long life will become the most important thing.
Horrible torture.”
After hearing this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel sad.
Qingquanzi's words revealed the cruel facts of the world of cultivation.
Indeed, as Qingquanzi said, if a monk who pursues the Great Path throughout his life cannot take another step forward, then it will be a very terrible thing to have no hope or expectation in the endless years to come.
Everyone in the world says that longevity is good, but in fact longevity is also troublesome.
Seeing that Qingquanzi was so depressed, Chen Xuan could only comfort him: "Taoist Master Qingquanzi, you have only participated in the Immortal Promotion Competition once. You were almost promoted last time. This time you are more prepared and you will definitely get the Immortal Promotion Competition."
