From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

When the sword light faded, Li Yunxian's true appearance was finally revealed.

The supreme leader of the Qingcheng Sword Sect actually looks like a child, with long hair tied behind his back, two swords hanging at his waist, eyebrows raised, and wearing a tight suit. He looks not childish at all and is full of heroic spirit.

When he heard Sima Chengzhen's words, he turned his head, looked at Xu Xing, clasped his hands and said:
"Thank you, little friend."

Although Li Yunxian didn't say much, each word was sonorous and powerful, like a heavy hammer hitting someone, splashing invisible sparks, which shows how much weight he spoke.

After thanking him, he asked again without changing his expression:
"Junior Brother Pei, did he die in your hands?"

Hearing this, even Sima Chengzhen, who had been stroking his beard and keeping silent with a gentle look, could not hide his surprise, but still spoke instinctively:

"Brother Li, this..."

Bie Xiaolou and Xiaoqing, who had rushed over, felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this.

Although Xu Xing used many methods just now, the "Purple Gold Bowl", which is the magic weapon of Jinshan Temple, cannot be faked at all.

So they subconsciously regarded Xu Xing as a member of Jinshan Temple, but they never thought that this person actually killed Master Pei? !
But when they thought of the swordsmanship Xu Xing had just used, they realized something. Could it be that...

Xu Xing was not surprised at all, and said calmly:
"indeed so."

His "Sword of the Prime Minister" was originally derived from Pei Zhengsheng's sword intent. It was normal for Li Yunxian to be able to see this.

Li Yunxian nodded, his face as usual, and said:
"Did he say anything at the end?"

Xu Xing shook his head and said:
"It is too late to regret when you have taken the wrong path, and there is no need to say more."

Hearing this, Li Yunxian raised his head and looked at the dark sky without any stars or moon. He was silent for a long time before he slowly said:

"Li Linfu, one day I will kill him."

Sima Chengzhen, Bie Xiaolou, and Xiaoqing were all confused. Li Yunxian turned around and asked:
"What's the situation at Qingcheng Mountain now?"

Xu Xing bowed solemnly and said:
"With Bodhi Zun and Qiantang Jun in charge, there shouldn't be any trouble."

As he spoke, he informed everyone present of Pei Zhengsheng's plan and the civil strife that had just occurred in Qingcheng Mountain.

Although Bie Xiaolou knew about Qiantang Jun's affairs, he did not expect that it would cause such a big mess later. After understanding the whole story, his face became extremely serious.

At the same time, he and Xiaoqing looked at Xu Xing with extremely strange eyes.

Who could have thought that the Red Tribulation Demon Lord, who was rising in fame and had extraordinary combat power, would actually be the Vajra Master of Jinshan Temple?

This Fahai is truly a man of wisdom as profound as the sea, and lives up to his Dharma name.

Sima Chengzhen stood there in a daze, muttering:

"Even Pei kid..."

Although Sima Chengzhen did not publicly praise Pei Zhengsheng like Du Guangting, and did not personally deliver a speech of praise to him as a true immortal, he was still very optimistic about this younger generation.

But he never thought that such a sword seed that had the hope of reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship and becoming an immortal would end up falling into the hands of Li Linfu.

Although he had long known about the incredible magical powers of the Central Demon Lord, Sima Chengzhen still felt heavy-hearted when he saw that he had achieved such results with just a few tricks after being silent for many years.

He had also heard what Di Huaiying had just said, but the more he heard it, the more uncomfortable Sima Chengzhen felt.

——When did they, the orthodox people of the Xuanmen, become so humiliated that they had to wait for internal strife among the evil sects before they could have a chance of survival?
Li Yunxian looked at Xu Xing and said bluntly:
"This time, I would like to thank you, Your Excellency. From now on, whether it is for your personal benefit or for Jinshan Temple's request, the Qingcheng Sword Sect and everyone below me will do our utmost to help."

Li Yunxian's action this time was risky in itself, and he had overlooked the key factor of the Central Heavenly Demon Lord. It could be said that success or failure was just a matter of days.

If it weren't for Xu Xing, even if Li Yunxian had Sima Chengzhen's support this time, he would still be blocked by the Western and Southern Heavenly Demons, as well as Li Linfu. The best outcome would be that he would be sealed in the underworld and keep company with the Great Spirit Official.

Apart from himself, because of Pei Zhengsheng's accomplice, the entire Qingcheng Sword Sect would be doomed to disaster and would be massacred from inside to outside by the Western Branch.

Now, Qingcheng Mountain is safe and sound, Li Yunxian returned safely, and Sima Chengzhen seized the opportunity to severely injure An Lushan's Dharma image, forcing this Western demon to remain silent for a while.

It can be said that Xu Xing single-handedly continued the Qingcheng Sword Sect's legacy and helped the righteous sect in times of crisis.

Li Yunxian was not a stingy person, so he was generous in showing his gratitude to this benefactor.

Xu Xing just laughed at these words.

"Under an overturned nest, how can the eggs remain intact? Sect Master, you are too serious. We might as well return to Qingcheng Mountain first. If there is anything, we can talk about it after we have settled down.

I am also a swordsman, and I am very curious about the way of the sword sect."

Li Yunxian nodded and looked at Sima Chengzhen:

"Old Master has not recovered from his injuries yet, so please come with us. Although you Shangqing Sect has many miraculous medicines, we are better at repairing sword embryos and swords."

Upon hearing this, Sima Chengzhen narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled, saying helplessly:

"You kid, you just want to win everything. Never mind. I will go with you and help you mend the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers in Qingcheng. It's not free."

Li Yunxian said as a matter of course:
"I didn't mean to give it away for free. It's great that you have this awareness."

Sima Chengzhen glared at him, his beard puffed up, and he said unhappily:

"Damn it, I might as well just change my sect and join your Qingcheng. Am I the headmaster, or are you the headmaster?"

Unexpectedly, Li Yunxian actually hesitated for a moment and said slowly:
"It's easy. We can place your tablet in the ancestral hall, right behind my master. That way, it will be reasonable for you to be the headmaster."

Although Sima Chengzhen had always known that this boy was a reckless person, he was still shocked when he heard such remarks, and waved his hands repeatedly, saying:

"Forget it, forget it. I have already been troubled enough by the disciples of Shangqing Sect. How can I take over your Jian Sect?"

Li Yunxian just said "oh" and didn't mention it again.

After listening to the conversation between the two ancestors, Bie Xiaolou and Xiaoqing were both greatly enlightened.

Although they knew that their leader always made shocking remarks, the fact that he could make even Sima Zushi unable to cope with it showed that he was extremely powerful.

Li Yunxian turned around and looked at his two great masters, nodded and said:

"Well done."

Although it was just four simple words, it made the man and the snake feel relieved. After a brief moment of relief, what surged into their hearts was shame.

It was because they all knew very well that in fact, the two of them did not play any substantial role in this battle.

Bie Xiaolou and Xiaoqing turned around at the same time and looked at Xu Xing, who remained calm, with admiration in their eyes.

——As a great immortal as well, he can participate in the battle of true immortals. It is not just the last straw that breaks the camel's back, but the key to determining the outcome.

How could they not admire such magical powers?

In fact, let alone the two great immortals, even true immortals like Li Yunxian and Sima Chengzhen could not figure out how Xu Xing had cultivated such magical powers.

However, this Fengdu is not a place for talking after all. After a brief exchange, the five of them each rode on their lights and flew towards Qingcheng Mountain.

Although Li Yunxian seemed calm just now, he was actually extremely worried about the disciples of the Sword Sect, so he fled at a very fast speed.

His body dragged a trail of rainbow light about several hundred feet long, leaving the sound of wind and thunder behind him, stirring up circle after circle of circular air waves. After a while, Mount Qingcheng was already in sight in the distance.

Now, the four great masters of the demon path, including Yin Ziqi, have been firmly trapped in the "Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Formation". No matter how they activate the "Yin Demon Sky-Splitting Technique", they are still unable to get out.

Bai Suzhen, Qiantang Jun, and Nangong Hen, three powerful demons with tough bodies and similar fighting styles, joined forces and charged through the formation, invincible.

No matter what kind of evil demon, robbery demon or evil demon it is, they will shatter upon touching. The demonic energy evaporates and gathers into clouds of haze, spreading across the sky and cannot be shaken off.

Li Jianshi, Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen and a group of real sword practitioners continuously drew their swords to break up the gathered evil spirits and gradually weaken the source of the "Yin Demon Wheel Array".

Li Yunxian knew at a glance that even if he didn't come, with the means of these disciples, they would be able to catch the enemy in half a quarter of an hour at most.

According to his usual temperament, at times like this he would usually keep his troops in place and wait for the sect disciples to take action, which could be considered a kind of tempering.

But Li Yunxian was already in a bad mood. Seeing his own mountaintop so gloomy from afar, he felt even more depressed. He had no intention of training his disciples at all. He just slashed with his sword even though they were still dozens of miles away.

Before Yin Ziqi and the others could even think of any warning, the "Eighteen Yin Demons Rotating Array" and the images of the four great masters were cut in half, making them deader than dead.

The dense demonic energy that eroded the veins of the thirty-six peaks and permeated the sky was also swept away by Li Yunxian's sword.

It was not until the sword was completely swung out and the dust settled that Bai Suzhen and the others noticed the fleeting edge and the four quickly dissipating auras.

Bai Suzhen and Qiantang Jun felt their scales stand up and trembled continuously. Nangong Hen's bear hair also exploded. He turned his head suddenly, with a fierce light and violent anger in his eyes.

However, Li Jianshi, Yan Chixia, and a group of real sword cultivators led by Ning Caichen were already standing on both sides, facing the long rainbow of sword energy rushing towards them, and said respectfully in unison:

"I've met the sect leader."

Li Yunxian stood with his sword in hand, looking down at the corpses of the four great masters of the magic path, not hiding his disgust, and said in a cold voice:
"Take the body..."

Li Yunxian originally wanted to chop it into pieces and throw it out of the mountain, but suddenly he remembered that the Vajra Master seemed to be practicing the magic sect's methods.

For those in the Demon Sect, the best materials for refining treasures are, firstly, the Heavenly Demons who roam the boundless void and are naturally close to the Primordial Demon Sect; secondly, they are people of the same sect.

The corpses of these four people are truly rare treasures in the magic world, enough to make the great masters fight for them. It would be better to give them to him, which can be regarded as a utilization of waste.

Thinking of this, Li Yunxian changed his words:

"Pick it up carefully and send it to Tiangu Peak later."

After Li Yunxian finished speaking, he flew back on his sword and led Sima Chengzhen and Xu Xing to the main hall of Chaotiangu Peak.

Seeing Xu Xing's escape, Qiantang Jun and Bai Suzhen both breathed a sigh of relief. Yan Chixia thought of his recruitment just now, and his expression looked a little strange.

——This guy wouldn't say he wants to recruit me in front of my master, right?

Arriving in the hall, Li Yunxian sat in the main seat with a majestic look, asked the two to sit down, and said straight to the point:

"This is where the dragon vein of Qingcheng Mountain is located. The spiritual energy is quite abundant. You two can practice and recuperate here."

In fact, there was no need for Li Yunxian to introduce it. As soon as Xu Xing sat down, he realized the extraordinaryness of this place.

Tiangu Peak is the central place of the Thirty-Six Peaks of Qingcheng Mountain. It gathers the essence of the mountain’s spiritual energy. It is actually the first place Xu Xing saw after arriving in this world, and it can be called a paradise.

Here, even if Xu Xing just breathes and does not actively capture and absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, he can feel the invisible waves of spiritual energy entering his limbs and bones, wave after wave.

Sima Chengzhen and Li Yunxian were old friends, so there was no need for him to introduce them. He just turned around and looked at Xu Xing with an earnest gaze, rubbing his hands, and said cheerfully:
"My dear friend, come here, let me see your mirror.

I have long heard that the 'Bodhi Mirror' of the Bodhi lineage of Jinshan Temple is similar to my 'Shangqing Hanxiang Mirror', but I never thought that your Vajra lineage can also cast mirrors."

Although Sima Chengzhen was a great Taoist master who had attained the status of a true immortal, he was extremely obsessed with sword-making and mirror-casting, which were far superior to those of talismans.

Now that he has finally met Xu Xing, a fellow Taoist, the old Taoist naturally doesn't want to miss the opportunity.

Xu Xing was also quite decisive. He slapped the back of his head, and a ray of light burst out from the fontanelle. The "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror" floated in the light, appearing a little broken, but still full of ancient charm.

He handed the mirror to Sima Chengzhen and said with a smile:
"Although I have become a Vajra Master, this 'Zhenwu Haotian Mirror' is not a Buddhist magical power, but was obtained through the guidance of a Taoist elder."

Having just taken a direct attack from An Lushan, not only was the "Purple Gold Bowl" badly damaged, but all the magic weapons refined by Xu Xing were also affected and suffered varying degrees of damage, and the "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror" was not spared either.

However, Sima Chengzhen did not care about the small damage. He just looked at the black snake coiled around the mirror and the giant turtle that served as the emperor's throne, and felt the intertwined yin and yang energy, and suddenly said:
"No wonder I am so familiar with it. It turns out to be the inheritance of the Northern Zhenwu lineage. But I wonder when did King Kong Zun meet that master?"

Xu Xing shook his head and said:
"That master is not in this world now."

Hearing this, Sima Chengzhen was not surprised. After all, the ancient immortal inheritances left in this world were too numerous to count. He only sighed and said:

"Unfortunately, the inheritance of the Zhenwu lineage has not been completely preserved, and what you have obtained is not all. Otherwise, how could you have entered Buddhism?"

Sima Chengzhen could tell at a glance that Xu Xing had only obtained a portion of the True Martial Arts Dao, and had not received the complete inheritance.

But he was able to cultivate the Tao to such a level, which just shows his talent. If he entered the Taoism, he would probably achieve the status of a true immortal sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Sima Chengzhen felt even more regretful. How many such talented people have we seen in the Shangqing clan for thousands of years? !

Xu Xing smiled and said:

"Practicing and spreading the Dharma is not limited to those within or outside the Buddhist sect. Sectarianism is unacceptable."

Sima Chengzhen heard this and nodded:

"That's true. Buddhism and Taoism have been fighting for so many years, but they have not broken up or torn each other apart. In the current situation, they should cooperate sincerely."

After finishing speaking, the old Taoist added:
"However, I just got used to scolding these old bald donkeys, and I can't change it in a short time. Anyway, you haven't shaved your head yet, so just listen to it for fun and don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing smiled knowingly and said nothing more.

Sima Chengzhen was just talking and probably didn't kill many Buddhists. Although Xu was a position holder in Jinshan Temple, he killed many monks, living Buddhas, and Dharma Kings.

He even killed a Chakravartin, the King who founded Shambhala and was destined to become a Buddhist kingdom on earth and protect the world. To hear him called a bald donkey is really nothing.

Sima Chengzhen held the "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror" in his hand, looked at it from left to right for a long while, and then reluctantly returned it to Xu Xing, and said earnestly:
"My friend, although the Dao contained in this precious mirror of yours is extremely pure, the refining method is really..."

Sima Chengzhen held back his words until here, but finally chose to speak his mind directly and frankly.

“It sucks like shit.”

When Xu Xing was refining the "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror" back then, he didn't even know the most basic common sense.

He was like a cook who didn't know the recipe and only had these ingredients on hand, so he just threw them in when cooking.

Thanks to the unique fire control methods, the excellent raw materials, and the blessing of the "Haotian Mirror" itself, the "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror" was able to take shape.

In the last world, this was considered a remarkable feat, but in this world, in the eyes of the weapon-refining master Sima Chengzhen, such a method seemed crude.

Xu Xing didn't feel embarrassed. He always had the spirit of seeking advice with an open mind, so he took the opportunity to approach Sima Chengzhen and said with a smile:
"Old senior, old master, old ancestor, you are the true sage in the art of mirror casting. Please give me your guidance."

Sima Chengzhen narrowed his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled:

"This flattery is really nice. Just for your contribution today, I will teach you how to forge a mirror or forge a sword." After hearing what Sima Chengzhen said, Li Yunxian, who was listening, was not happy. The boy sword fairy frowned and said unhappily:
"Forget about casting mirrors, but how can your Shangqing Sect compare to ours in forging swords?"

Sima Chengzhen was an old and cunning man, with a thick skin like a city wall. He was not moved at all by what he said, but just said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Li, your Qingcheng sword-refining method is indeed unique in the world, but if it is compared to the skills of teaching and learning...hahaha, hahaha."

Sima Chengzhen didn't say a word, but just laughed four times, but his expression was full of contempt and ridicule.

Among the true immortals in this world, if we were to ask who is the best at teaching and imparting knowledge, it would definitely be Mr. Guangcheng Du Guangting, the founder of the Gezhao Sect, who is praised as "a man of ten thousand leaves in the forest of poetry, a sea of ​​knowledge thousands of miles, and the only one in the world who supports the sect and establishes the religion."

But everyone knows that although the three founders of the three sects of talismans are famous in the world, Mr. Guangcheng is the second-generation disciple of Sima Chengzhen.

Therefore, it is easy to see the teaching methods of this Shangqing Patriarch.

Li Yunxian naturally knew this, but he was not in a hurry at all. Although he looked like a boy, he still spoke with an air of maturity:
"Given this young friend's magical powers, status and position, why would he need you or me to teach him? All he needs is a technique for him to study and a teacher to answer his questions."

Sima Chengzhen thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Judging from Xu Xing's current level of cultivation, he was not far away from reaching the level of True Immortal. If he rashly led him there, it would only increase his obstacles in knowledge and understanding.

After Li Yunxian finished speaking, he looked at Xu Xing and continued:
"Since you have inherited Junior Brother Pei's sword art and have made great achievements in swordsmanship, you should also learn the techniques of my Qingcheng Sword Sect. Take this sword manual. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

After handing Xu Xing a jade slip, Li Yunxian looked at the "Zhenwu Haotian Mirror" and said:

“I have also heard a lot about the Taoist tradition of the Northern Zhenwu lineage, which is closely related to the Seven Stars of the North Pole Xuanwu.

But in today's world, the power of the stars is not obvious. Only people like Di Gong, who possess the qualifications of a candidate for the position of a celestial official, can try to mobilize it. Perhaps this is why your Zhenwu method is difficult to complete.

However, there is a Seven Star Well in the back mountain of Qingcheng, which has accumulated a lot of star power. It should be helpful to you. After practicing, you might as well go and take a look."

Xu Xing suddenly remembered that the "Ji Du Hidden Sword Talisman" in Li Xiu Ru's hand also drew the power of Ji Du Star through the Seven Star Well. In this case, maybe this thing can really benefit his Zhenwu Dao foundation, so he nodded to Li Yunxian.

But at this time, Xu Xing was also a little curious.

According to Ao Zhengrong and others, the star power in this world all comes from the Zhoutian star officials and star gods in the upper realm. Even if the Five Heavenly Demons could put aside their past grudges and cooperate sincerely, they would never be able to block it.

Thinking about it this way, could it be that the devil star is causing trouble?

After Li Yunxian finished his instructions, he looked at Sima Chengzhen and said in a deep voice:

“Old Immortal, the talisman foundation in your body has not been completely eliminated. Now is a good opportunity to break it and then stand up again. This set of methods is also applicable to you.

If you are lacking any spiritual materials or treasures during your practice, go to Guyue Peak to find Jianshi, and she will arrange it for you two."

After finishing these crucial instructions, Li Yunxian, without any further ado, transformed himself into an invisible, colorless, intangible and formless sword light, and came to Huiyan Peak to take charge of the overall situation.

Sima Chengzhen looked at the direction of the sword light and couldn't help but sigh:
"It seems Yun Xian is really sad this time. This kid, ah..."

Sima Chengzhen knew that Li Yunxian's intrusion into the netherworld this time and his search for Di Huaiying's trace in countless cracks in the void was extremely tiring.

But Pei Zhengsheng's death did make the Sword Sect's leader rethink his own strategy for governing the sect.

Therefore, he chose to put his personal situation aside for the time being, deal with the affairs within the sect first, calm people's hearts, and reunite the sword cultivators of the thirty-six peaks.

Xu Xingben already had Pei Zhengsheng's complete set of memories, so he could naturally understand Li Yunxian's state of mind better, and couldn't help but sigh:
"After this incident, I hope the Sword Sect can regain its prestige."

It was not just because of Pei Zhengsheng's memories, but also because of the sword practitioners in the Qingcheng Sword Sect and the decisive and clean style of the leader Li Yunxian that made Xu Xing feel good about them.

Even if we ignore personal feelings, in today's situation where the evil sect is thriving and the righteous sect is declining, having such a trustworthy sect that can be used as a support is an absolute good thing for a person like Xu Xing who is determined to clean up the world.

Sima Chengzhen was more open-minded and said frankly:

"I'm going to say something that Yun Xian may not like to hear. We were lucky that only Pei died in the fight against Li Linfu. As for my Shangqing Sect, hey."

Having said this, Sima Chengzhen shook his head, hiding the sadness in his eyes, and said:
"Forget it, forget it. No matter what, we have to continue on this path. I will first teach you the 'Preface to the Jingzhen Sword' and the 'Illustrated Guide to the Shangqing Hanxiang Sword'.

Once you have mastered these two great techniques and the sword techniques that Yun Xian taught you, you will be able to fight against the demons, or at least have the strength to escape."

Xu Xing also agreed with this.

In this battle, although he was dealing with the three great demons and seemed to be in the limelight, Xu Xing himself knew very well that this was a battle that could not be replicated.

After all, in this battle, the three true immortals Sima Chengzhen, Li Yunxian and Di Huaiying were in the front, withstanding 99% of the pressure, and Xu Xing had the local energy of Fengdu to use, which was why they were able to achieve such results.

Moreover, he also took this opportunity to test his own limits. Even if he used all his magic weapons and supernatural powers, he could only withstand two moves at most in front of the powerful demon.

It is hard to say whether Xu Xing can escape after two moves.

It is foreseeable that the intensity of the struggle in this world will gradually increase, and the number of times the True Immortals and Heavenly Demons will take action will also increase.

If Xu Xing wants to make a difference, his current combat power is far from enough. The gift from Sima Chengzhen and Li Yunxian is a vital resource for him.

After accepting Sima Chengzhen's gift, Xu Xing nodded, his body flashed, and he once again separated into two major demonic bodies, sitting opposite the original spirit.

Sima Chengzhen had just focused all his attention on dealing with An Lushan, and had only caught a glimpse of Xu Xing's three-headed, six-armed body. Now that he saw it again, he couldn't help but admire it.

At this moment, Xu Xing had already immersed himself in the sword techniques given by Li Yunxian.

The sword art of the Qingcheng Sword Sect was originally derived from the Xuanmen Sword Art, and its origin can be traced back to Zhang Tianshi's Three-Five Male and Female Ghost-Slaying Sword.

But at that time, there was no concept of sword immortals. The sword in the hands of a Taoist priest had to be used in conjunction with talismans. It was not much different from other magical instruments such as the Emperor Bell and the Nectar Bowl, except for its different uses.

After hundreds of years of evolution, in addition to the talisman school of Taoist methods that advocates "visualization, concentration, and guiding qi to form talismans", the Danding school of Taoist methods that advocates "seven returns and nine turns to form the elixir with human essence" has also developed.

Among them was a great master of the Danding School, whose Taoist name was Chunyangzi. He introduced the inner alchemy method into the sword and created the method of hiding the edge of the sword.

The method of sword embryo is to use the sword to practice alchemy, refine the essence of the human body into a sword, and travel around the four continents. It is known as "the Supreme personally taught Donghua" and "the snow blade shines infinitely, and the frost light shines brightly in the void."

It was after the emergence of Chunyangzi, who was known as the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua, that the sword art had a real internal cultivation method that could be relied upon.

However, this method was still deeply related to Taoist rules, and the Qingcheng Sword Sect was not regarded as an independent faction by the world. There was not even the title of "Sword Cultivator" at that time.

It was not until eight hundred years ago that a true sword cultivator and sword immortal was born.

This person is Li Yunxian's master, Sima Chengzhen's fellow Taoist, the most brilliant ancestor in the history of Qingcheng Sword Sect, known as the reincarnation of Taibai, the ancestor Taibai who is in charge of weapons and killing in the world.

This ancestor had never practiced internal alchemy and sword-making techniques. He simply used poetry to transform his sword skills and united heaven and earth with his divine will. His poems, which have been passed down through the ages and are immortal, represent his powerful sword energy.

It was because of his inheritance, combined with the inner alchemy sword-refining method, that Li Yunxian was able to completely break away from the shackles of Xuanmen and officially stand tall between heaven and earth under the name of Qingcheng Sword Sect.

The secret technique that Li Yunxian passed on to Xu Xing was not the Sword Preface to the Poetry Immortal passed down by Taibai Patriarch, but the purification technique that he had figured out in recent years.

Although he was a disciple of Master Taibai, Li Yunxian lacked talent in poetry and his emotions were extremely restrained, making it difficult for him to externalize them into infinite sword energy.

Therefore, he embarked on another path, which was to be extremely precise and pure, and to refine the sword energy itself to the level of being invisible, colorless, substanceless and formless.

The highest realm that Li Yunxian envisioned was to refine the sword energy to the point of confusing matter and principles.

Everything in the world has its own principles.

The so-called "things" are real, concrete and tangible external appearances, while "principles" are extracted from the concrete and are the laws and rules on which "things" rely to operate.

However, although this road has traces to follow and is almost not difficult to understand, it is filled with endless obstacles, and it is extremely difficult to continue all the way.

Therefore, although all the great masters of the Qingcheng Sword Sect have studied this technique as a supplement, they also have their own sword techniques. Pei Zhengsheng, for example, is a typical example of using the holy way to practice sword.

However, when Xu Xing saw it, he suddenly remembered the "innate invisible sword energy that can break the body" that he had experienced from Guan Qi in the Northern Song Dynasty world before.

"The innate invisible sword energy that breaks the body" requires continuous subtraction of suffixes, and sublimation step by step into "the invisible sword energy that breaks the body", "the invisible sword energy", "the sword energy", and finally, it becomes the endless "energy" that permeates the heaven and earth.

This approach also has something in common with what Li Yunxian wants.

However, what Xu Xing learned in his life was too diverse.

To the extent that every time before he drew his sword, he had to refine all kinds of true energy in various ways in order to create the same effect as a pure swordsman.

Therefore, he could not completely copy Li Yunxian's sword-refining method. Although it was sufficient as a reference, it also needed to be improved.

As for how to improve it, Xu Xing already had an idea in mind.

The purpose of purifying sword energy is to get closer to "reason" and thus change "reason". Among the many magical powers he has learned, there happens to be a method that also has this pursuit.

That is the Zen method of seeing that all dharmas are empty and that one's true nature is such. As for how to wash away all kinds of impurities and elevate the sword intent to such a level, one naturally has to use thunder magic.

Thunder magic is the pivotal creation of the yin and yang of heaven and earth. The changes of yin and yang, clarity and turbidity are enough to cover all the different kinds of true qi in Xu Xing's body. If they are mixed into one and then dispersed with the sound of thunder, the true qi and divine intention will be purified.

Coincidentally, although Sima Chengzhen's "Jingzhen Sword Preface" is a sword formula, it also uses the double edges of the sword to describe the ways of thunder, yin and yang, so "the essence of yang is famous in Jing; the energy of yin is exerted in Zhen, so it is named Jingzhen."

When Xu Xing thought of this, he felt a divine light flashing in his mind, interweaving into a magic, as if countless inspirations were gushing out, and the sound of thunder and lightning burst out from his whole body, and the "Xi Mo" sword spontaneously appeared.

Sima Chengzhen was also resting with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard the sound of the silver bottle breaking and the thunder bursting. He opened his eyes and looked at Xu Xing with surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help muttering:
"He didn't learn Yun Xian's Purification Sword Technique, but instead practiced my 'Jing Zhen Sword Sequence'. Does this kid really want to join the Shangqing Sect?

Well, if he can really master it, what's the harm in allowing him to be a worshiper?"

No matter how confident Sima Chengzhen was, he would not think that his attainments in pure swordsmanship could compare to Li Yunxian, the world's number one swordsman.

Then Xu Xing’s choice is very interesting.

——Could it be that he simply couldn't master the Pure Sword Technique? It wasn't surprising, after all, even in the Qingcheng Sword Sect, no one could take this path.

The more Sima Chengzhen thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't even bother to repair his sword embryo. His mind was completely focused on Xu Xing, paying attention to his every move of his soul and concentrating on protecting him.

Looking at it this way, nine full days have passed.

During these nine days, the roar coming from Xu Xing's body and the "Ink Washing Sword" has become increasingly weak and slow. It lacks the mighty power of thunder and lightning. Instead, it sounds more like the sound of an ancient temple bell, rich and melodious.

At sunrise on the tenth day, the "Ink Washing Sword" suddenly rose up like a rainbow hanging in the sky, straight into the clouds, and disappeared.

Sima Chengzhen only heard a "clang" sound, which was a sound he had long been accustomed to, but now it had an additional sharpness that was unique to the sword.

As soon as the sound appeared, it burst out nine times in an instant, becoming louder and louder, like the cry of a crane in a frosty sky. The higher it got, the clearer it became, inaudible and elusive, yet real.

It is like the "principle" that is intangible and traceless, but does exist, just as Buddhism uses the sound of thunder to illustrate the Dharma, the sound shakes the universe, and it has no form but can preach the Tathagata's Dharma.

Even with Sima Chengzhen's knowledge, he was unable to figure out what kind of method Xu Xing was using.

Although he could vaguely appreciate the essence of "Jingzhen Sword Sequence" and purified sword techniques, it seemed to be true and false.

——Could it be that this young man is actually creating a new law?

After nine rings, the vague and clear sounds that were difficult to distinguish between Buddhism and Taoism had spread to all the thirty-six peaks of Qingcheng Mountain. Although Li Jianshi, Yan Chixia and Xiaoqing did not understand why, they felt a chill coming from the sky.

It was as if in the boundless blue sky, there were suddenly countless swords hanging upside down, shining coldly and emitting fierce sword energy. However, this coldness did not cause any fluctuations in vital energy, but just kept ringing.

To these pure sword cultivators who have reached the Great Immortal Realm, the scene before their eyes is like a peerless beauty who is so beautiful that she can overwhelm a whole country, standing alone in the wind and snow, with her clothes fluttering in the wind, but she is unwilling to reveal her true appearance and only admires her beauty.

This kind of ethereal and hazy beauty, which can only be felt by pure sword practitioners, has made the three pure sword practitioners feel anxious. Even Ning Caichen felt the sword at his waist humming and his sword heart was in turmoil.

At this moment, they could only guess.

——Could it be that the sect master has made another breakthrough in his sword realm?
Sima Chengzhen was watching intently, but he saw that Li Yunxian had walked out of the sword washing pool in the back mountain and came here at some point. He looked at Xu Xing, who was meditating with his eyes closed, with a strange light in his eyes.

"Such a gift, such a gift..."

He clapped his fist and said in annoyance:
"This kid was born to learn swordsmanship!"

Sima Chengzhen watched the whole process and knew that this kind of pure sword sound that was detached from external appearances, ethereal, and pointed directly to the profound truth of the great Dao was originally obtained by mixing various methods, so he laughed and said:

“If you really only practice your family’s swordsmanship, I’m afraid that even if you practice until death, you won’t be able to develop such pure sword intent, hehe.”

Although Sima Chengzhen's words were unintentional, they made Li Yunxian's heart move suddenly. He thought of his eldest disciple. If this was true, then wouldn't it be...

Under the gaze of the two True Immortals, after Qingyin's ninth transformation, although it was difficult to rise upwards, it never fell back. Instead, it gradually stabilized, and the sword intent within it finally showed its majestic aura.

Although it is still unpredictable and hard to find, just a few scales and claws are still admirable.

A red wheel poked out a half arc from the clouds, and the golden light turned the sky into light blue. The mountain ridge suddenly became bright and hot, like a burn mark across the sky and earth.

Suddenly, a hand as white as jade was raised and shook gently, drawing a ray of bright light from the clouds. When it was held in the hand, it took the shape of the "Ink Washing Sword".

Sima Chengzhen and Li Yunxian did not look at the sword itself, but raised their heads together and looked at the sword mark that pierced through the blue sky and tore through the clouds.

It is not quite accurate to say "torn", because although the sword mark is so obvious there, it does not hinder the flow of clouds at all.

If the clouds are compared to water waves, then the sword mark is a reef in the water, unmoving and unshakable, but without the slightest sense of existence, as if it does not exist in this world.

The sword sound just now had already been noticed by all the real sword practitioners in the Thirty-Six Peaks. When they saw this extremely contrasting and contradictory scene, they only felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts.

The next moment, the pitch-black sword mark suddenly spread out, transforming into a dark area of ​​fifty to sixty feet in radius. The Qingcheng vitality was in turmoil, as if the earth, water, fire and wind were all shattered, and there was a strange light inside.

In the eyes of the sword practitioners, this sword seemed to have completely engulfed the entire sun, causing the world to return to night and even causing a more serious disaster.

The others were puzzled, but Li Yunxian and Sima Chengzhen knew that it was because Xu Xing's sword strike just now had shaken a certain law of heaven and earth, which led to such a scene.

Li Yunxian stood on Tiangu Peak and flattened the dark hole with a flick of his sleeve. In the process, he suppressed the fluctuations of vitality in the entire Qingcheng Mountain, allowing sunlight to reappear in the world.

At this time, Xu Xing's soul also stood up, came to Li Yunxian with a sword in hand, looked into the distance, his face pale.

The sword he just struck had been building up momentum for a long time, and it naturally consumed a lot of energy. It could be said that all the success of his nine days of training had been wasted, and all his hard work had been in vain.

Even so, Xu Xing felt happy and satisfied.

This is not surprising. No matter who the cultivators in the world are, if they can strike out with that sword just now, they must be very happy.

Li Yunxian turned around and looked at Xu Xing with a serious look, and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Xu, what should we call this sword?"

Xu Xing thought of a novel he had read in his previous life, smiled, and wrote casually:
"The clear sound is ethereal, as if reaching the White Jade Capital, so let's call it 'The Sound from the Twelve Jade Towers'."

Before Li Yunxian could say anything, Sima Chengzhen cheered loudly.

"What a name!" (End of this chapter)
