I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 701 The traitor will never die
The three Heavenly Demon Sword Masters were undoubtedly wary of and took Gu Yuanqing very seriously.

When he ascended the Sword Sharpening Peak, it was clear that his swordsmanship was no less than theirs, and he was also a master cultivator of the Chaos Realm.

While they emerged from the painting, Gu Yuanqing remained inside, likely having encountered other opportunities.

Moreover, this painting is the core of the Starry Sky Array, and there may be a real method of control within it. Therefore, they used their killing moves as soon as they saw Gu Yuanqing, not giving Gu Yuanqing a chance to gain a foothold, otherwise the host and guest might be switched.

Gu Yuanqing looked up, not finding it strange.

When his mind connected with the Demon-Subduing Sword, he had already guessed what was happening now.

Within the Zhou Tian Star Array, the aura is locked, and there is no way to avoid this sword. Unless he uses the Heavenly Fishing Technique to leave Qingping Cave, even if he breaks through the void to come to another place, the sword above his head will still follow the aura.

Before the sword shadows in the sky could fall, the Demon-Sealing Sword Intent descended, its immense weight pressing down on Gu Yuanqing. Standing on the plaza, Gu Yuanqing's body sank downwards, as if a mountain was pressing down on him. Furthermore, a series of sealing formations formed from sword energy appeared out of thin air, intending to imprison him in place and suppress his physical body, true essence, and soul.

Then, the Heavenly Demon Sword Intent followed, and all sorts of illusions were born, disturbing Gu Yuanqing's mind. Thousands of Heavenly Demons swarmed forward, some even appearing directly in Gu Yuanqing's sea of ​​consciousness.

The Demon-Slaying Sword Intent followed, and the entire world became cold and desolate.

Gu Yuanqing felt a chill envelop him, and his hair stood on end, as if millions of tiny silver needles were hovering over his pores, ready to pierce him at any moment. It was as if any obstacle in his way would be in vain!

"The three swordsmen seem to have made some progress in their swordsmanship as they entered the painting, and these three swords are quite interesting. They all seem to be somewhat similar to the Demon Subduing Sword Path, except that they have developed certain aspects of the Demon Subduing Sword Path to their extreme. No wonder the Demon Subduing Sword is the head of all swords. If we could obtain the other three swords, I believe the power of the entire sword formation would be greatly enhanced!"

Gu Yuanqing remained calm, but the illusory image of Beiquan Mountain had already appeared on his body.

Today, the illusory image of Beiquan Mountain is completely different; it is both steadfast and majestic, yet also possesses a soaring momentum.

The three incoming sword intents were like ants trying to shake a tree in front of Beiquan Shanying, unable to overcome them even slightly.

While manipulating the Demon-Subduing Sword to suppress the power of the Big Dipper Formation, he also pointed the sword upwards.

The Heavenly Pivot Sword, the Heavenly Jade Sword, the Heavenly Power Sword, and other demon-subduing sword techniques are all contained within a single finger.

Although it is not as flawless as the Heavenly Sword Elder's finger strike in the Demon Subduing Sword Stele, it still signifies that Gu Yuanqing's Demon Subduing Sword Dao is close to completion.

He poured all his sword intent into it, which transformed into a tangible sword that soared into the sky.

This sword strike was not merely the power of this clone; Gu Yuanqing's true self used the Heavenly Fishing Technique to cross space and directly imbue it with the power of the Northern Spring Cave.

After all, this sword strike was not just the work of two Chaotic Realm cultivators and one Yin-Yang Peak cultivator, but rather it utilized the Heavenly Cave Sword Formation.

This power has already surpassed the Shattering Heaven level and reached the level of immortality.

Even if he were to say that he was confident that his clones could fight him head-on without being at a disadvantage.

But this is a battle with an enemy, not a friendly sparring match. Since we already have overwhelming power, why bother to fight to the death?

In an instant, their forces collided.

The blinding light illuminated the entire Sharpening Sword Peak, and a shockwave rippled outwards from the point where the two swords clashed, creating visible spatial ripples in the void.

After a brief stalemate, the longsword formed by the Heavenly Demon Sword Master, Qingxu Daoist, and Chi Jinyu, which they had created using the Zhou Tian Star Array, gradually disintegrated.

The Zhou Tian Star Array is indeed powerful, with that immortal painting as its core, and it gathers the power of the entire Qingping Cave Heaven. However, these three people have not yet fully mastered it.

Moreover, Gu Yuanqing's control of the Demon-Subduing Sword also allows him to influence the sword formation and weaken its power.

On the other hand, Gu Yuanqing was fully empowered by the power of the cave, so even if a Void Immortal came here, he might not be a match for Gu Yuanqing in terms of strength alone.

The result is self-evident!

The Heavenly Demon Sword Master and others who were controlling the Zhou Tian Star Array all let out a muffled groan.

They had focused all their attention on this sword, and since it was shattered, their souls were naturally affected by the backlash.

However, thanks to the powerful formation that neutralized the attack, they were not seriously injured. But this scene caused their expressions to change drastically.

"How is this possible? How can his power be so great!" the Heavenly Demon Sword Master exclaimed in shock.

"Undying in the Chaos? Could it be that he has already become an Undying in the Chaos expert?" Chi Jinyu closed his folding fan, his expression solemn.

Daoist Qingxu turned to look at the Heavenly Demon Sword Master and said in a low voice, "Heavenly Demon, didn't you say he had only just become an ordinary Shattering Heaven cultivator? How could he have such strength?"

The Heavenly Demon Sword Master roared, "Enough nonsense! Regardless of whether he is the Undying Chaos, the only option is to kill him. We still control the great formation and have a chance. If we wait until he gains a foothold, all three of us will die!"

Even as they were talking, the three of them did not stop fighting. They activated the great formation again and attacked Gu Yuanqing.

Sword shadows crisscrossed, working together to relentlessly annihilate each other.

However, Gu Yuanqing remained as still as a rock, enveloped by the shadow of Beiquan Mountain, and no attack had any effect. Occasionally, he would flick his finger to break through the condensed Demon-Slaying Sword Intent.

Of all these sword energies, only the Demon-Slaying Sword Energy posed the greatest threat to Gu Yuanqing.

Although the Demon-Sealing Sword Dao has the power to restrain, Gu Yuanqing is empowered by the Northern Spring Cave Heaven, making his strength far beyond what a Shattered Heaven cultivator's sword Dao can suppress. In fact, even the restriction on Gu Yuanqing is very limited, like a gentle breeze that suddenly blows while walking.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Qi is formless and ever-changing, and even when enveloped by Gu Yuanqing's sword intent, it has no effect whatsoever.

Only the Demon-Slaying Sword Qi was too sharp, its characteristics were like indestructible, and Chi Jinyu had a very deep mastery of this technique, condensing the sword qi to the extreme, the sword qi split into strands, which broke through the protective aura, and could even pierce through when it touched the shadow of Beiquan Mountain.

Of course, this only had a slight impact on Gu Yuanqing, like mosquitoes buzzing around him, just annoying!

Gu Yuanqing took a step and ascended the steps. With another step, he stepped onto the square in front of the Dao Palace.

There was no one in front of the palace.

"A mere trick!" Gu Yuanqing chuckled. His Void Insight Eye had already been activated, so how could such an illusion technique be hidden under his nose?

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved.

A fierce wind swept across the sky, and sword energy raged, instantly covering the entire area around the Dao Palace. However, these sword energies never actually touched the Dao Palace itself; the sword energy that landed on the Dao Palace instantly turned into a gentle breeze.

This also reflects Gu Yuanqing's improvement in swordsmanship, demonstrating his mastery of his own sword energy to a subtle level!

As the sword energy swept through, the illusion shattered.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Master, Qingxu Daoist, and Chi Jinyu stood in three separate locations, forming a triangular shape.

The Heavenly Demon Sword Master roared, "Attack!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and summoned the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation. The Heavenly Demon Sword flew out, drawing power to attack Gu Yuanqing. In an instant, it split into countless forms, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Daoist Qingxu also arrived, summoning the Demon-Sealing Sword. The sword energy transformed into mountains that pressed down upon them.

But all of this was just a cover. Chi Jinyu took a deep breath, opened his mouth and spat out a sword light that shot straight at Gu Yuanqing.

With the force of thunder and the speed of lightning, it left a streak of platinum in the void, and wherever it passed, it seemed to utterly destroy all the great Daos. This was the Demon-Slaying Sword Qi that he had nurtured for thousands of years in the Celestial World, and it was also the ultimate move that the three of them had left behind for this moment.

The power accumulated by a cultivator who had cultivated for thousands of years was completely unleashed at this moment, reaching the level of the Undying Chaos Realm.

"Is that all? I'm a little disappointed!"

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and counted a few points on his fingers.

He still used the Demon-Subduing Sword Technique, but while using the Demon-Subduing Sword Technique, he also used the Heavenly Fishing Technique.

The Demon-Subduing Sword Qi instantly enveloped the three of them, annihilating them with its power.

In the blink of an eye, three clouds of blood mist exploded.

Then, he calmly pointed a finger at the sword energy that Chi Jinyu had nurtured for thousands of years.

The Demon-Subduing Sword Qi clashed with the Demon-Slaying Sword Qi, their tips shattering, but that was all.

The Demon-Subduing Sword Qi was naturally not as refined and pure as the opponent's cultivation over thousands of years, but it couldn't withstand Gu Yuanqing's overwhelming power.

The Demon-Slaying Sword Qi that broke through the Demon-Subduing Sword Qi was like walking in a swamp, getting slower and slower, until finally it was completely trapped inside.

Finally, the Demon-Slaying Sword Qi exploded in the battle, bursting forth into countless wisps that pierced towards Gu Yuanqing.

But Gu Yuanqing simply raised his hand and pressed down, and the shadow of Beiquan Mountain fell, all its power dissipating into nothingness.

But at that moment, Gu Yuanqing suddenly raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the entrance of the Dao Palace.

A flash of cold light appeared, faster than the limits of vision, and was right in front of Gu Yuanqing's neck.

The illusory image of Beiquan Mountain protecting Gu Yuanqing did not hinder him in the slightest.

But just as the cold light was about to sever Gu Yuanqing's neck, two fingers reached out and firmly grasped the cold light.

Only then did I get a clear look at it; the cold light clearly indicated that it was a precious sword.

Gu Yuanqing recognized this sword very well; it was the very sword that the person in the painting had once invited to give to him!
Gu Yuanqing's gaze sharpened as he saw the sword suddenly transform into a clump of ink, attempting to burrow into his fingers.

"The evil spirit will never die!"

Gu Yuanqing gave a light snort, withdrew his finger, and took the clump of ink back to Beiquan Cave Heaven along with it. With a thought, he used the Dao of Object Control to suppress it in an instant.

Even though this power seems to surpass that of ordinary cultivators, it still seems to be powerless against the power of manipulating objects.

To be honest, this power is not even as good as the power that Gu Yuanqing obtained from the Heavenly Demon Sword Master's clone in the underground cave. Even that power had no chance of resisting when facing the manipulation of objects after entering the North Spring Cave.

Besides, it's just a trick of the person in this painting!

Gu Yuanqing's clone stepped out and arrived at the palace gate, where he saw that the Heavenly Demon Sword Master, Qingxu Daoist, and the other two were also inside.

It seems that the three people they just killed were merely tools left behind by them.

Everything was for the sword strike that had just been aimed at Gu Yuanqing.

Gu Yuanqing snorted coldly and subconsciously raised his hand to strike out with a palm.

All paths return to the abyss!

Although the Demon-Subduing Sword Technique is powerful, it seems that he is most familiar with this divine power.

But at that moment, Gu Yuanqing suddenly realized that when he looked into the hall, he also saw the painting. The man in blue robes who was looking down at a book in the painting looked up at him.

Gu Yuanqing retreated swiftly, directly using the Dao of Space to instantly escape their sight.

Boom!

The palace gates, which had been wide open, suddenly closed, and a magic array enveloped the area, isolating it from the outside world.

Gu Yuanqing looked up at the sky, where the four sword shadows were still visible within the illusory image of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Moreover, he could sense that the three were still constantly circulating their power, using the power of the three swords to control the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

"It seems that they realized that their previous methods had not been able to harm me, and that even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for me. So they want to take control of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array first, using the palace gate as a barrier."

"Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, these three should have joined forces with the person in the painting, otherwise that sword strike just now wouldn't have occurred!"

Gu Yuanqing instantly grasped the current situation.

He dared not attack the Dao Palace, because the Dao Palace was the core of this cave heaven. Even if he controlled the Demon-Subduing Sword, once he touched the Dao Palace, he would probably be regarded as an enemy by the entire Zhou Tian Star Array.

If that's the case, the attack that falls will be far beyond the power used by the Heavenly Demon Sword Master and his companions!
He looked up at the celestial array in the sky with a slight frown.

He would never allow the Heavenly Demon Sword Master and others to control this Dao Palace!
With the Demon-Subduing Sword in his hands and half a scroll of the Heavenly Dao Scripture also in his possession, it was destined that neither side would be able to give up easily.

If this Dao Palace were to be handed over to the Heavenly Demon Sword Master, it would be tantamount to aiding the enemy!

If the other party controls the Dao Palace, they will have a complete inheritance. Even without the Demon Subduing Sword in hand, as long as the Demon Subduing Sword Domain exists, they can still cultivate the Demon Subduing Sword Dao.

Although the Demon-Subduing Sword in Gu Yuanqing's hand is one of the four keys, in truth, the key is not the Demon-Subduing Sword itself, but the Way of the Demon-Subduing Sword.

The Demon-Subduing Sword itself was very likely forged by the Heavenly Sword Elder, but based on the fortuitous encounters along the way, and even the various judgments made in that immortal painting, the Zhou Tian Star Array and this Qingping Dao Palace here may not have been built by the Heavenly Sword Elder.

One thing is enough to tell: when Gu Yuanqing went to see the person in the painting, he went through three tests.

But the Heavenly Sword Elder was the first hurdle!
If the Heavenly Demon Sword Master and others master the complete sword path and join forces with the person in the painting, their strength will surely increase greatly, and it is not impossible for them to become the Undying Chaos Immortal or even a Void Immortal!
More importantly, the exit of Beiquan Cave Heaven in the cultivation world is located at the same time as the exit of Qingping Cave Heaven.

Therefore, Gu Yuanqing would not tolerate such a thing happening.

Danger must be nipped in the bud.

Gu Yuanqing continuously channeled the power of the Demon-Subduing Sword to disrupt the actions of the other three swords, while simultaneously using his Heavenly Eye of Insight to observe the changes in this great formation and locate its foundation.

The four energies intertwined and fought within the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Gu Yuanqing possessed abundant vital energy and a powerful divine soul. Even though his opponent had the initiative and the advantage of terrain, he was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.

As long as Gu Yuanqing doesn't allow the opponent to completely control the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array, he has a chance to turn the tide.

As for such a protracted fight, it's not a problem for him either.

With Beiquan Cave as its foundation, it fears nothing more than competing with others like this!
No matter how powerful a cultivator is, their strength is ultimately finite, and how can it compare to a grotto-heaven?
Moreover, this grotto-heaven is continuously converting the demonic energy of a vast world into its own power!
