Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 10: Killing Sword (Please Collect)
In the Chunyang Cave, Li Xuanyang chose a place where spiritual energy gathered and built a hut to live in. It was very simple, with nothing but a cushion.

In the thatched cottage, Li Xuanyang began to deduce how to refine the sword. The insights of Taoist Shangqing and Taoist Chunyang on the way of swordsmanship emerged in his mind.

"Although the corpse of the Moon-Devouring Soul-Eating Centipede is a prehistoric beast and can be regarded as an innate follower of gods and demons, if we really want to refine it into a sword, it is not an innate one. At best, it can be regarded as an acquired sword. When killing, it is easy to be contaminated by cause and effect, which is not good." Li Xuanyang sighed lightly and shook his head.

It is almost impossible to refine an innate spiritual treasure, unless you obtain the innate spiritual fire, one of the earth, wind, water, and fire, and the innate spiritual treasure Qiankun Ding, to reverse the innate and transform the acquired spiritual treasure into an innate spiritual treasure.

Otherwise, even if one has reached the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, one can only refine it into an acquired spiritual treasure.

Li Xuanyang collected his thoughts and calmed down. He used his primordial spirit to evolve the shapes of many swords, and gradually only one very strange sword remained. The sword was three feet and three inches long and two fingers wide. On both sides of the sword, one side was engraved with a moon-swallowing soul-devouring centipede, with its thousands of eyes wide open, as if emitting thousands of divine lights, and the other side was engraved with a bright moon across the sky, with silver light shining down and the moon hanging high in the sky.

The edge of the sword is sharp and contains a hint of murderous aura, which can hurt cultivators in the Daluo realm, devour their flesh and soul, and use it to strengthen and nourish the sword body. It is extremely vicious.

This kind of vicious and mysterious power was not specially cultivated by Li Xuanyang, but the natural instinct of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Eating Centipede and its accompanying magical power. It seems vicious, but in fact it is an unparalleled weapon to harm people.

Anyone who does not know the basics of this sword will suffer a great loss and lose his composure once it hits him.

"Swords are meant for killing." Li Xuanyang laughed loudly, and the innate Xuanyang divine light flashed around him, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the innate Liangyi True Fire and Xuanyang True Fire rushed out.

Both are innate true fire, which is suitable for smelting the corpse of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Eating Centipede. When the sword is successfully refined, perhaps unexpected mysteries will emerge.

The next moment, Li Xuanyang stretched out his hand and pointed at the void, took out the corpse of the Moon-Devouring Soul-Eating Centipede, and smelted it with the Innate Yin-Yang True Fire and the Xuanyang True Fire. Suddenly, waves of heat rushed into the sky around him, and the black, white and gold true fires entangled with each other, revealing all kinds of mysteries.

At the same time, Li Xuanyang formed countless seals with his hands, turning them into innate divine texts, which fell onto the True Fire and the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Centipede, turning into mysterious patterns. He used the True Fire to integrate the innate divine texts into the body of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Centipede.

In just a few months, the corpse of the Moon-Devouring Soul-Eating Centipede was melted and shrunk continuously, from a size of ten thousand feet to only ten feet long, with fire all over its body.

At this moment, Li Xuanyang suddenly exhaled a golden air, which was exactly the innate Xuanyang air.

With his current level of Taoism and supernatural powers, he would have been able to nurture and generate the innate Xuan Yang Qi without damaging his foundation.

As this breath of innate Xuan Yang energy fell, the body of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Eating Centipede shrank again, becoming only four feet long.

Just when Li Xuanyang was about to continue tempering, suddenly a silver light flashed on the corpse of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Eating Centipede, and its thousands of eyes opened, and the light of the moon gushed out.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang was not angry but happy, "Good job!"

In an instant, the innate Xuan Yang divine light in the three flowers of the primordial spirit flashed and spread in the air, almost covering most of the Chunyang Cave Heaven. As it rolled and retracted, countless innate spiritual energy and the innate pure Yang energy emitted from the Chunyang Cave Heaven gathered together and merged into the body of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Centipede. Together with the innate Xuan Yang energy, it merged with the remaining Taiyin light in the body of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Centipede.

Outside, the innate two-pole true fire and the Xuan Yang true fire are burning and tempering, and inside, the innate Xuan Yang Qi, the innate pure Yang Qi and the Taiyin light are fused.

The Taoist seal in Li Xuanyang's hand changed, somewhat resembling the Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir, using one civil and one martial to temper both inside and out, achieving the Yin and Yang.

It is exactly the way of the innate two principles: there is yang in yin, and yin is born from yang. Yin and yang complement each other, carrying yin and embracing yang.

However, this innate two-yin and yang theory is not perfect. It is a trick developed by Li Xuanyang. He uses the innate Xuanyang Qi and the innate pure Yang Qi as Yang, and the remaining Taiyin light in the body of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Centipede as Yin, and then derives the two.

After several years, the corpse of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Eating Centipede in the true fire slowly disappeared, and was replaced by a three-foot-three-inch long sword. The sword body was silver-white all over, like a spiritual jade. A faint silver light flashed on the sword edge, which was the light of the moon.

At this time, Li Xuanyang waved his sleeves, took out a ball of innate spiritual spring water, wrapped it around the sword, and used it to quench it.

After 81 days, the sword became crystal clear and resembled the moon.

Seeing that the sword was refined, the divine light around Li Xuanyang converged, and the three flowers of his soul dispersed. He summoned the sword into his hand, stretched out his hand and lightly flicked the sword body. A faint crisp sword sound was heard, and he couldn't help but feel very happy.

"This sword was made by sacrificing the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Eating Centipede. Why not give it a name..." Li Xuanyang pondered for a moment, then engraved four innate divine characters on the sword, one for "Swallowing the Moon" and the other for "Soul-Eating".

"Although this sword is not at the Xiantian level, it can still be considered a killing sword weapon, sufficient for the Daluo realm."

Holding the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword, Li Xuanyang walked out of the thatched cottage and headed towards where Taoist Chunyang lived.

Just as Li Xuanyang finished refining the sword, Taoist Chunyang sensed it and had already ordered his disciples to prepare spiritual fruits on the table. He then stood up and left the palace to greet him.

From a distance, Li Xuanyang was seen walking towards him holding a silver sword.

"What a good sword!" Taoist Chunyang's eyes fell on the sword in Li Xuanyang's hand. He could feel the sword energy coming from a long distance away, and even the Chunyang sword on his back made a low sword sound.

"I have disturbed you for more than ten years, and finally I have completed the refining of this sword. Now please take a look at it." Li Xuanyang came forward and handed the sword in his hand to Taoist Chunyang for him to take a look.

"What a truly acquired killing sword!" Taoist Chunyang was shocked as he took the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword. This sword actually contained the accompanying magical power of the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Centipede, capable of devouring the cultivator's body and soul, nourishing and strengthening the sword. It was truly vicious, a truly killing sword.

"This sword is too ferocious. I hope you won't use it lightly in the future."

Taoist Chunyang returned the sword to Li Xuanyang and could not help but give him some reminders. Li Xuanyang naturally understood what Taoist Chunyang meant, that cultivators must not be slaughtered to increase the power of the sword.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I only forged this sword for self-defense."

Li Xuanyang smiled calmly. When the two tribes of wizards and liches started a huge war, there was no need to slaughter living cultivators. The corpses and souls left behind by the two tribes who died in the war would be enough to use to sacrifice to the Moon-Swallowing Soul.

In previous lives, it was rumored that the witch and lich tribes used the flesh, blood, and souls of humans to refine the witch-slaying sword and the demon-slaying knife.

In the future, he will naturally be able to use the flesh, blood, and souls of the Lich and Lich races to refine the Moon-Swallowing Soul and enhance the power of the sword.

This can be considered as a peck and a drink.

Besides, he wouldn't have to do it himself at that time.

Seeing Li Xuanyang's calm tone, Taoist Chunyang couldn't help but smile, but he was overthinking it.

This fellow Taoist Xuanyang is a true man of virtue, and he is protected by innate spiritual treasures. How could he become an evil cultivator like Taoist Yuewu?

However, he was still very surprised that Li Xuanyang could refine such a killing sword.

Even though his Pure Yang Sword is an innate spiritual sword and extremely precious, it is not a killing sword. Even the Qingping Sword of the Shangqing Taoist is not a killing sword.

On the contrary, the four Zhuxian swords of the Shangqing Taoist priest in the future were all innate killing swords, and the Yuantu and Abi swords of the Minghe ancestor in the Netherworld Blood Sea were also innate killing swords.

Li Xuanyang took the Moon Devouring Soul into his Yuan Shen and nurtured it, then said goodbye to the Pure Yang Taoist and planned to go overseas. They agreed to go to Buzhou Mountain together to watch his sword fight with the Shangqing Taoist.

Above the South China Sea, the blue water is boundless, with only a golden cloud passing by.

Wherever this golden cloud light passed, there seemed to be a faint trace of sword energy, which was righteous, majestic, and extremely mysterious.

All the spiritual cultivators on the nearby islands were frightened and felt cold all over. They thought that it must be a person with great supernatural powers passing by, and they did not dare to go forward to check.

Not until the golden cloud light disappeared did these living cultivators dare to look from afar in the direction where the golden cloud light disappeared, with longing expressions on their faces.

This golden cloud of light was the result of Li Xuanyang's magical power.

Ever since he left the Chunyang Cave Heaven in Qingyuan Mountain, he had been riding on the clouds all the way to the South China Sea. He played with the sword in his hand from time to time on the way, intending to refer to the swordsmanship of the Shangqing Taoist and the Chunyang Taoist, and derive a swordsmanship from his own Xuanyang Taoism.

One day, Li Xuanyang came to the deep South China Sea. There were some scattered islands on the sea surface. Looking down from the auspicious clouds, they looked like stars.

What surprised Li Xuanyang was that the innate spiritual energy here was very rich, and seemed to be three times richer than the southern part of the prehistoric world. It was very peaceful and extremely suitable for breathing exercises for living cultivators.

It seems that the creatures and cultivators on the island are very prosperous, and there is a hint of prosperity.

"No wonder people in previous lives often talked about overseas holy places for cultivation." Li Xuanyang nodded with satisfaction. The South China Sea alone looked like this. I wonder how prosperous the overseas holy places for cultivation, the East China Sea, would be in future generations.

On the contrary, the ancient land is now in chaos as the two tribes of wizards and liches continue to grow and migrate.

Just after passing an island, Li Xuanyang heard bursts of roaring sounds coming from afar. It seemed that several wild beasts were roaring to the sky and biting each other. He couldn't help but feel a little interested.

A flash of cloud light appeared under Li Xuanyang's feet, and he flew towards the direction where the roar came from.

After a while, they arrived at an island, which turned out to be a place where innate spiritual energy gathered, and could be called a spiritual island.

"Huh!" The scene on the island made Li Xuanyang exclaim lightly. He saw a nine-headed feathered insect in the sky, which was a hundred feet in size. It stretched out its nine huge heads and roared continuously. It looked very strange and it seemed to have the ability of a Golden Immortal.

However, what made Li Xuanyang curious was that opposite this nine-headed feathered insect, there was a giant beast fighting with it.

This giant beast has a head like a camel, horns like a deer, eyes like a rabbit, ears like a cow, neck like a snake, scales like a carp, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and 81 scales on its back, which is over a hundred feet long. Half of its body is hidden in the sea outside the island, and the other half is hidden in the clouds and mist. It has a slight upper hand, and its Taoism is even higher than that of the nine-headed feathered insect. It has already produced the Taiyi Taoist fruit.
