Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 264: Jingshan Demon Cave
Tiedan was flying over the salt pond, observing the demonic tide of Jingshan from afar. After a while, the demons over there naturally noticed something, and soon three birdmen flew in front of him to capture him.

Tiedan ignored them and continued to watch and calculate in the air, waiting for them to flutter and fly in front of him, and then he would rush to their faces and kill them with the Ice River Escape Form. It was because of this rudeness that the demons were forced to rush over in groups, hundreds of them had to attack, and Tiedan drew a line of ice in the sky, avoided the demon cloud from a distance, and escaped.

“The demons’ defenses were very strong. I circled the mountain three times, and the big demons surrounding the mountain only locked onto them with my spiritual sense, but they did not respond to my provocation and came out to fight.

This is the first time I have seen such strict discipline and obedience to orders. I am afraid there is a master behind them directing them from behind the scenes.

Besides, the formation at Jingshan is extremely strict. From what I can see, all eight gates are deadly places. I won’t be able to find a flaw in a short time. I can’t rush you back to the mountain rashly.”

Xing Yuanzhi hurriedly said,

"Brother, don't force yourself. If you can't go back, then don't go back."

Tiedan: "Why, are you scared?"

Xing Yuanzhi was also straightforward.

"Yes, didn't you just say you wanted to live? In this situation, are you going back to the mountain and waiting to die?"

Tiedan calculated and shook his head.
"If you don't go back, none of them will survive. I just saw that there is only one ancestor left at Wangwu Mountain, and 36 disciples have retired. It is obviously a plan made by magic. Everyone has a duty. If you go back, everyone still has a chance of survival. If you don't go back, I'm afraid that none of the people in Jingshan will escape. As a disciple of Xuanmen, how can I sit back and watch a group of fellow disciples die in the monster tide while I run away with my tail between my legs?"

Xing Yuanzhi felt ashamed and touched at the same time.
"Senior brother..."

"Besides, I have been stuck in the Golden Core Realm for a long time. I just lack a Return to Dust Daoist Method. If I send you in, I can exchange it for a Weapon Repelling Coin. Then I will have everything. I am only one step away from the final stage. How can I give up so easily?"

Xing Yuanzhi, "..."

But having said that, Tiedan didn't know what to do for a moment.

After taking a look around, it seems that Jingshan has activated the forbidden formation and is guarding it tightly. If you try to force your way through the formation, it's hard to say whether you can get through. Xing Yuanzhi probably can't stand it in this state. If you accidentally break the formation, you will be making things difficult for the demon.

But Tiedan knew that he didn't have the ability to wipe out a hundred thousand demons by himself.

Even if most of the monsters were just fillers, and only one in ten had formed a demon pill, and one percent were Yuanying monsters, he still couldn't deal with them alone. Moreover, among the monsters, there was clearly demonic energy rising to the sky, and there were four great demons who were staring at the old Xuanmen in Jingshan.

Although those people from Xuanmen are experienced and have always fought in a group, as long as the four great demons do not make the mistake of rushing into the formation, they can block the siege for a while and then call on seventy or eighty Yuanying to come up and beat them up, which will be enough to deal with the old Xuanmen who has reached the state of transformation.

Now he calculated that the best chance of winning was to take advantage of the fact that the demons didn't take his golden elixir seriously, and he could fight against thousands of demons alone, break through the demon group, and kill a big demon in the chaos to open a way out. Then Lao Xuanmen would understand and abandon the terrain formation, and directly attack from the mountain, sacrifice himself to cover the rear, and escort a group of disciples out of the siege, and everyone retreated to Yanzhi Mountain to join the Sword Sect.

But Tiedan knew that the old guys in Xuanmen would not fight so hard. If he put himself in their shoes, they would probably prefer to be trapped in Jingshan Mountain and wait for the opportunity. If they can't, they will wait for the monsters to attack and break through the mountain formation. If they can fight, they will fight. If they can't fight, they will escape. It's easy and safe. Isn't it wonderful?

So Tiedan decided that no matter what, he would chop it down first.

First, we should try to harass the outside and launch sneak attacks around the salt pond. Today we will kill five monsters, tomorrow we will kill ten demons, and we will not let the demons rest for a day. If we can force the big demons to attack in groups and make their formations scattered, we may be able to mobilize the demons' deployment and create some changes. At least if we kill randomly outside and attract the attention of the disciples of the Xuanmen Sect in Jingshan, maybe they will come out to cooperate, right?
So start killing!

"White Tiger Leaps Over the Ravine!"

Tiedan swung his sword and jumped out, chopping off the head of the demon that was licking the salt. He waved his two swords wildly and killed indiscriminately. Then, without waiting for the surrounding demons to surround him, he attacked them together and flew into the sky, moving to another place for another wave.

Drinking salt water was not a relief, so the demons were naturally angry. At first, a few big demons rushed up to chase and kill, but they soon gave up.

Because Tiedan was too strong. The Jindan demons were no match for his sword, and the Yuanying monsters couldn't take a blow from the lightning sword. The Tiancan sword qi completely broke through the body and defense, and one after another, one was killed. Those demons were not stupid, they couldn't surround them, and they couldn't beat them. They sent several waves one after another and ignored him.

So Tiedan began to harass them repeatedly, killing a few here and a few there, until even the two peach wood swords were covered in blood, and the sword seals were all damaged and polluted by the blood of the demons, and even the Tiancan Sword Qi could not attach to them.

"Huh...huh..."

"Brother, you rescued me from the devil's cave before, were you injured?"

Xing Yuanzhi was now lying on Tiedan's back like a pendant, but she was also a serious disciple of the Xuanmen sect. When she heard that Tiedan's breathing was not right, she also realized that he was enduring the pain, and it seemed that his Taoist body was accumulating hidden dangers.

Yes, Tiedan is very strong and can kill demons and Nascent Souls one by one with one sword, but the problem is that he only has single-target attacks and lacks AOE monster-clearing skills.

Moreover, the attack power is now too high, and the turbine power is so strong that the burden on itself is also extremely great. The Tiancan Sword Qi has been repeatedly refined to perfection. One sword can resist five swords of the opponent, but his own meridians are also vibrated by the huge sword force.

The fact that Tiedan has managed to survive until now without falling apart is already thanks to the miraculous self-repairing effect of the Blood Jade Technique. But now he has to continue attacking and try to integrate the Heavenly Thunder Flash into the output cycle. He is indeed unable to hold on.

So Tiedan also sat on the lake, took out a handful of salt, and rubbed off the blood stains on the sword, and took a deep breath.

"My skills are too strong. If I use them too much, I will hurt myself. Do you have a solution?"

"No."

No need for you to ask...

However, Xing Yuanzhi provided a solution.

"My Qingtang Sect has an internal family Mian Zhang technique, which is not a technique used to fight against enemies, but a form of physical exercise that strengthens the body. It combines both hardness and softness, and can relieve muscle strains, dislocated tendons and bones, and nourish blood and remove blood stasis. Why don't I teach it to you, brother, and it will help alleviate your injury a little."

"You talk, I'm listening. White tiger leaps over the stream!"

So Tiedan killed monsters while listening attentively to Xing Yuanzhi's teaching of the Mian Zhang technique.

This is indeed not a combat technique, but more like some kind of yoga exercise that stretches the muscles, moves the limbs, and corrects the body shape, combined with some internal martial arts breathing techniques. It is a set of exercise movements designed to stretch and train the muscles of the whole body over time, to prevent prolonged closed-door training, sudden big movements, and the like, which may lead to strains and cramps.

Tiedan was indeed a natural genius. After listening to her set of skills, he also gained some insights. So he gradually tried to change the palm technique into sword technique, and modified a sword dance on the spot. He only used the Tiancan sword energy to gather at the sword tip, blowing up the sword wind to cut off heads, while relieving the strains and strains in various parts of the body, and he could continue to kill monsters at the same time. It seemed that there was some effect.

They fought like this for a long time until sunset. Xing Yuanzhi was also impressed.
"Brother, you are a natural swordsman. You have excellent comprehension and amazing physical strength. From morning till night, you have killed hundreds of monsters without even taking a break. Are you going to continue fighting all night long?"

Tiedan was more helpless, looking at the endless stream of monsters passing through the salt pond from north to south.
"I can kill a hundred a day, and there are five thousand of them that slipped away. We can't stop them at all. Where do so many come from?

Didn't the Immortal Lord say that the demons had already been wiped out, and only a few remnants remained in Guixu?"

Xing Yuanzhi said,

"Demons are different from humans. When a cultivator reaches the realm of a true person, his body is completely different from that of a mortal. He becomes a Yuanying and transcends the suffering of reincarnation, so he can no longer conceive. Therefore, when they talk about marriage and become Taoist partners, they are all in the Jindan realm. And fewer and fewer people are willing to delay their cultivation and damage their essence and blood, and have children.

But when demons reach the Nascent Soul stage, they can still reproduce and give birth. As their demon bodies become stronger, as long as they have enough blood essence, they can lay eggs and give birth all day long. Some species can produce tens of thousands of egg cases at a time. As long as there is enough food to feed these demon fetuses, they are truly endless, like a tide, and it is impossible to completely kill them. "

Tiedan couldn't help but be curious.

"Then how did the Immortal Lord win?" Xing Yuanzhi shook her head.

“I don’t know. According to common sense, the Fairy Palace’s combat power at that time should not have been able to win. Perhaps it was also due to the internal division of the demons?
After all, at that time, a large number of demons did join the Immortal Lord and joined forces to destroy the demon king's court. Later, they were plotted against by the Immortal Palace and suppressed in various places.

It’s just that time has passed too long, and many ancient secrets have been concealed and destroyed by the Immortal Palace.”

The Fairy Palace's fighting method, using fists to hit hard? Using thunder bombs? Or special magic weapons? Or is there some secret method of beast control that can control and weaken the monsters...

I can't understand it. He is such a loser and a weakling in daily life, but suddenly he can do such a big job.

The Immortal Palace is indeed the Immortal Palace...

Tiedan couldn't think of it. He only knew that he tried using a sword to slay the monster on the first day, but the effect was not very good.

Firstly, the Salt Lake is too big, and there are too many monsters. In fact, these monsters are just grouped together, and are far from a regular army. Even if they are attacked, they will only take care of themselves, and there is no system of mutual support and rescue. If you dare to kill them, you will die, and they don't care about the casualties at all.

Secondly, the demons were probably eager for Tiedan to take action. Although they were restrained by some force and could not kill each other, they obviously had no such restrictions on dead bodies. Therefore, every time Tiedan killed a group of people, before he could set fire to the bodies, groups of demons and monsters would rush over, competing to devour the bodies, frantically snatching the flesh and blood, and growing and evolving themselves.

It was as if the demon killed by Tiedan was immediately absorbed by other demons and reincarnated in another form.

As a result, on the first day alone, Tiedan saw with his own eyes dozens of little demons forming pills and breaking through on the spot, and this speed was already considered slow.

Because all the living creatures and plants near Jingshan Mountain had been eaten up, the monsters that had eaten up everything would continue to move south, continue to eat, continue to grow, and continue to evolve. Obviously, if the momentum of this monster tide is not stopped as soon as possible, once the barrier of the ice field and mountains is broken, the monsters will sooner or later evolve to sweep across the world and become uncontrollable.

But Tiedan understands this truth clearly, so why do the people in the Xuanmen ignore this demonic calamity?
Since he had been killing people all day, it was impossible that no one in Jingshan knew that he was exorcising demons outside, yet there was no reaction at all.

The most strange thing for Tiedan now is that the Nine Great Mysterious Sects do not seem to want to stop the demons from moving south.

After all, although he is only at the Jindan realm now and his abilities are limited, there are many powerful people who have reached the Yuanying stage, the Shenhua stage, and the enlightened stage, who are capable of turning the world upside down and moving mountains and cities. They should be able to destroy these monsters with ease, right?
Even if we take advantage of the mountains and rivers and casually set up some large arrays and prohibitions, we can block the demons and seal them in Guixu. Why not take action?
Don't say you couldn't predict it. The fact that the nine great sects have withdrawn their inner disciples to Genzhou shows that they have clearly predicted this difficulty and are deliberately trying to avoid it...

"Because the resurgence of demons is not a bad thing for our Xuanmen."

This time, it was Xing Yuanzhi who brought out the simple truth in one sentence.

"Demons can be used to make pills. Wouldn't it be good to raise more of them?"

"...Use it to make pills? Raise some?"

"Yes, I don't know how many disciples of my Xuan Sect are stuck at the threshold of their realm. It's not because their Taoism is not firm or their minds are not focused, but simply because they don't have enough resources for cultivation.

Demons are spiritual creatures born and raised by nature, and their bodies are full of treasures. The Immortal Palace expelled them all to Guixu, which resulted in a lack of elixir materials available in the Central Plains. Their spiritual energy is becoming increasingly exhausted, and even a little bit of Taoist affinity has to be fought over and over again, with bloodshed. Even people like us in the Xuanmen have to repeatedly die in battle and reincarnate to cultivate again.

And now, although I don't know why, it's a rare opportunity for these monsters to move south again. If we let them enter the Central Plains, fatten them up, and then come back to harvest them, it will be a good opportunity to train a group of disciples, strengthen the power of our Xuanmen, and also destroy the Immortal Palace. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

In this way, from now on, the world belongs to my Xuanmen, why should we stop it? "

You bunch of heartless people, do you think you are making sense?

Tiedan's face turned cold.
"…But what if the demons eat all the mortals? Who will be left to spread the teachings of Xuanmen?"

Xing Yuanzhi didn't care.
"How is it possible? The world is so big, with a population of more than tens of millions. The human race didn't perish during the time of the Immortal Lord, so how can they eat it all now?

Besides, mortals are going to die anyway, so what difference does it make if we die at the hands of the government or at the mouth of a demon? "

Tiedan was silent for a while. Xing Yuanzhi knew that he was unhappy to hear this, but he still had some sympathy, so she patiently persuaded him.

“Brother, you also know that our Xuan Sect is concerned about cause and effect. Even though we were punished by the thunder, we at least strictly abide by the sect rules and only use demons to refine pills, and do not harm mortal lives.

But since the rise of the Blood Sutra Demon Cult, it has fallen into the evil path, slaughtering people in the Western Regions and using human blood to practice its magic.

At this time, spiritual energy is becoming scarcer, and Taoist materials are becoming less and less. If these monsters are no longer around, the cultivators will sooner or later turn their attention to mortals.

My Xuan Sect has strict rules. We are not allowed to do this or that. If things go on like this, how can we compete with the Demon Sect? Sooner or later, someone will defect to the other side in order to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation.

Therefore, the current rise of the demon clan is actually an opportunity for our Xuanmen. Can we use these many demon pills and spiritual materials to strengthen ourselves and destroy the Demon Palace and the Demon Cult in one fell swoop?

In the struggle for the Great Dao, all living beings are prey to disasters. One can only move forward courageously, with no room for maneuver."

Tiedan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"But I have a vague feeling that there might be some great conspiracy behind this demonic calamity. The three major sects are still busy fighting among themselves and letting the demons grow stronger. I am afraid that there will be endless troubles..."

Suddenly Tiedan stopped talking, jumped up and looked at the mountains in the distance.

Xing Yuanzhi also knew that he probably detected something with his spiritual sense.

"Senior brother? What's wrong?"

"Someone is coming. A lot of people are being chased and intercepted by a large group of demons, and are being driven to flee this way."

"Is it the Sword Sect?"

Tiedan frowned.

"No, it seems to be the Fairy Palace... What is the place to the northwest?"

"northwest……"

Then Xing Yuanzhi understood.
"Isn't the northwest the Guyan Mountain? Maybe the Kan people have broken through."
