My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 123 Hua Xianying, who will become "half a Demon Ancestor"

Ultimately, a sword formation is centered around the sword, and then uses the unique characteristics of the formation to drive the boundless power of heaven and earth.

This move, using the transformation of black mud, disrupted the balance of the five elements in the descending sword formation, causing the formation to collapse directly. Although it can be described as miraculous, it is not a formation at all, and it has nothing to do with a sword formation. It is simply a way of using the power of heaven and earth.

It is both simple and exquisite.

However, at this moment, the clever handyman disciple's words were indeed quite clever.

Unfortunately, Shirachi Kei had anticipated this.

So, in order to reflect on Bai Chijing's actions among the miscellaneous disciples, he casually said, "Whether this is a sword formation or not, I don't think I need to answer that question, because anyone who isn't too stupid would definitely see it. So, fellow disciples, have you figured it out now?"

Faced with the phrase "the emperor's sword formation," the clever handyman disciple immediately fell silent. Although he didn't know the story of "the emperor's new clothes," he could understand the underlying meaning of the words "one hundred and twenty."

If you can't see it, that's because you're incredibly stupid!

For a moment, even the seven people responsible for "performing and putting on a show" on the Sword-Sharpening Cliff chose to remain silent.

After all, at this point, saying more would only lead to more mistakes.

It's better to pretend you didn't hear it.

However, the scene became too awkward, so a disciple with the cultivation level of a Shushan Immortal stepped out on his magic sword to end the situation.

This was a special instruction given by Xuan Yunmo, who was hiding in the shadows.

Given the current situation, it was clearly not suitable for him to step forward. At the same time, Xuan Yunmo couldn't help but be greatly surprised. Was this a person born with great fortune? He had only watched the sword formation evolve once, yet he had grasped the wonders of the formation and directly touched the power of heaven and earth.

This talent for cultivation gave Xuan Yunmo a somewhat subtle feeling.

Because he couldn't help but start to doubt his own talent for cultivation. Even now, he couldn't touch the power of heaven and earth with his cultivation alone; he needed to rely on some power that didn't belong to him.

However, before the disciple of the Shu Mountain Immortal could speak, a figure arrived riding a magic sword.

This sword is a celestial sword, and atop it stands a boy. He has red lips and white teeth, and a handsome appearance, though a hint of arrogance lingers between his brows. However, although the person atop this celestial sword is merely a boy, his cultivation is astonishingly profound, especially his sword aura, which is already close to transcending the celestial realm!
What is the separation between heaven and man?

To cultivate to the level of a powerful and virtuous Earth Immortal is to cross the barrier between heaven and man. Therefore, this boy standing on the sword is a practitioner of the ultimate realm of the Mysterious and Profound Human Immortal.

It can be said that Hao You Chengde is only missing a suitable opportunity to break through in this field.

"Junior Nephew Sword Boy!" The Immortal Zimiao Xuanling, who had come out to clean up the mess, saw the boy and hurriedly greeted him. Although according to seniority, he was a seventh-generation disciple of Mount Shu, while the other party was an eighth-generation disciple, and he was the other party's senior uncle, he should have greeted him first. But he still had to consider who the other party's master was!
This sword boy's master is one of the Three Heroes of Shu Mountain!

Unrivaled in slaughter, a ruthless killer of true immortals, Hua Xianying!

Although Hua Xianying and this Zi Miao Xuan Ling Immortal were of the same generation, in Shu Mountain, not to mention fifth or sixth generation disciples, even second generation disciples would greet Hua Xianying politely and act as if they were equals.

"So it's Uncle Xin!" Upon seeing this seventh-generation disciple of Mount Shu, whose cultivation was lower than his own, the Sword Boy did not show the arrogance he had shown outside Mount Shu, but instead politely returned the greeting.

After all, this is in Mount Shu!
There are forty-eight more Celestial Immortals like his master!
Not to mention that above this realm of ultimate truth, there are five beings who are practically living myths!

Although Sword Boy was arrogant, he was also very good at reading people and knew when to say what and how to act in front of different people.

"What important matter brings you here, Sword Boy Nephew?" the immortal who had originally come out to settle things quickly asked.

"I came for him." The sword boy pointed to the figure standing there, who was now sizing up the young man and the mysterious, ethereal immortal.

This young man was none other than himself.

It was Shiraike Kei's inspiration reflected in this very body.

"One hundred and twenty miscellaneous disciples?" The immortal from the Mysterious Spirit Realm glanced over and was immediately surprised.

At the same time, this immortal from the wondrous mystical realm couldn't help but wonder what was so special about this "120" that even someone like Hua Xianying was starting to take an interest in it.
Although he was acting on Xuan Yunmo's orders, he had no idea about the origin of this "120".

After all, Xuan Yunmo is the only son of the sect leader, Xuan Kongzhi!
However, although this mysterious immortal couldn't help but ponder it in his heart, he didn't reveal it at all, nor did he intend to disclose the matter. He still hoped to rely on this "good karma" to return to Mount Shu after his reincarnation!
The higher one's cultivation level, the clearer one becomes about the difference between the inside and outside of Mount Shu!
In the mortal world, there's a saying that having connections in the imperial court makes it easier to become an official. In the Shu Mountain Realm, it's undoubtedly true that having connections in Shu Mountain makes cultivation easier! As long as you become an entry-level disciple, no matter how incompetent you are, you can obtain a superior magic weapon. Unlike those cultivators outside of Shu Mountain who have to collect materials and barely manage to forge a inferior magic weapon, you can obtain one.

"It's him!"

Sword Boy nodded in response to the wondrous and profound immortal, then said to Bai Chijing's spiritual reflection, "Come up with me, my master wants to see you! This is an opportunity that one cannot obtain even in ten thousand lifetimes, don't delay!"

"Who is your master?" Bai Chijing's attention was already focused on this, and he asked directly upon hearing this.

Shiraike Kei was indeed curious about this.

Moreover, he also wanted to see if he could find a "fierce and evil figure" who could deal with the tribulations of the Shu Mountain Immortal Path.

"What an impudent brat! However, I won't bother with you, because my master has already noticed this place! Listen carefully, my master is Hua Xianying! Let's go!" The sword boy's brows clearly showed some displeasure, but he had been instructed before coming, so he didn't do anything to cause trouble.

Moreover, in the Sword Boy's view, this boy's current disrespect would surely displease his master.

There's no need for him to say too much about this.

So as not to let his master misunderstand him! Hua Xianying?
Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing was somewhat surprised.

He was naturally familiar with the names of the Three Heroes of Shu Mountain: Qi Renying, Long Yingyue, and Hua Xianying, as they were frequently mentioned by the disciples of Shu Mountain. Within the Shu Mountain realm, these three were undoubtedly figures whose fame resounded throughout the land.

Some even say that these three are the strongest below the Five Elders of Shu Mountain! Whether this news is true or not, it shows the prestige of these "Three Heroes".

"What does Immortal Hua want with me?" Bai Chijing asked again, and at the same time, he quickly stepped onto the sword boy's magic sword. The cultivation he had originally manifested from his physical body vanished silently in that instant.

Since it is a cultivation level reflected from the original body, it can gather and disperse at will.

However, at this moment, the sword boy had no intention of answering Bai Chijing's question. He simply activated the magic sword beneath his feet and carried Bai Chijing, the body reflected by the inspiration, into the sky.

Then, a mountain island resembling a ferocious dragon head bowing downwards suddenly appeared in Bai Chijing's field of vision.

This wasn't because the Sword Boy's flying speed on his sword was extremely fast, but because a force drew him from the clouds above Mount Shu, bringing him here instantly.

This strangely shaped dragon-head-shaped mountain peak is called Xielong Ridge.

At the summit of Xielong Ridge, there are two sharp, pale golden ice crystals, like dragon horns, pointing towards the sky. At the dragon's mouth, dense, continuous clouds flow down, forming the steps in front of the cave.

This is the Unloading Dragon Cave.

The name is simple and does not show any personal style, which is extremely rare on Mount Shu.

Meanwhile, Bai Chijing, who had already appeared inside the Unloading Dragon Cave, also saw the owner of this place, a woman with a petite face but an exceptionally slender figure. As Bai Chijing looked at her, Hua Xianying was also looking at Bai Chijing's spiritual reflection.

"Born with extraordinary fortune, truly unique..." Hua Xianying spoke first, because the more she looked at "Bai Er," the more she felt that "Bai Er" was not in his true form. But this was impossible, because "Bai Er" had only been cultivating for a short time.

Of course, this is also related to Hua Xianying's strengths.

However, Hua Xianying didn't care whether this "Bai Er" had any ulterior motives. Because of her expertise, she could easily kill him. And given the difference in cultivation level between her and "Bai Er," she could even kill him three years ago with a single sword strike!
Hua Xianying's formidable strength instilled in her immense confidence, but it also made her somewhat arrogant and self-willed.

No matter what, she only agrees with her own opinion.

Therefore, even though she sensed that Bai Chijing's spiritual reflection was somewhat subtle, Hua Xianying accepted it directly and did not have any intention of asking any questions.

“You were born with incredible luck, but interestingly, you have almost no talent for swordsmanship. Do you know what that means?” Hua Xianying continued calmly.

"Can I become a sword cultivator in a different way?" Bai Chijing tried to continue the conversation.

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea; it was something he had long considered. After all, the sword cultivators of the Shu Mountain Realm were unparalleled, and they must have been blessed by the heavens. Therefore, he had no reason to abandon sword cultivation, a path of cultivation that allowed him to "fight with the wind at his back." Although he himself couldn't achieve anything significant in the way of the sword, he had already fully unleashed the first level of the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture," the "Outer Mind Realm," and the second level, the "Spiritual Platform Heaven."

Therefore, it is not difficult for Bai Chijing to acquire swordsmanship talent.

It's simply a matter of temporarily grafting someone else's kendo talent onto someone else.

However, upon hearing Bai Chijing's words, Hua Xianying paused for a moment, which was unusual, and couldn't help but ask, "How do you want to change the approach?"

“I will create my own sword cultivation method, which will grant the other party benefits from my training. However, in return, they will need to borrow my sword talent. The price they have to pay is less than half, or even a third, of the benefits I will give them.” Bai Chijing said something that, in his opinion, was very much in line with the image of a righteous sect.

Many people would not refuse double or even triple the profit.

Moreover, it aligns with the right approach.

However, upon hearing Bai Chijing's words, Hua Xianying shook her head and said, "You're wrong!"

"Immortal Hua, I wonder where I went wrong?" Bai Chijing couldn't help but ask.

"You were rescued from that demon monk's den, so you should know about him, right? Do you know his unique skills?" Hua Xianying said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing couldn't help but feel a subtle sensation.

Because he probably knew what Hua Xianying, one of the Three Heroes of Shu Mountain, wanted to say, since he had thought the same thing back then.

As expected, after Bai Chijing shook his head and claimed ignorance, Hua Xianying immediately gave her answer: "The demon monk's unique method is to revive from the memories of others. However, this revival is not forced, but rather a gamble. If you can survive, the demon monk's revival will not only fail, but you will also take away a portion of his cultivation, supernatural powers, and even some of his memories. This method is tantamount to leaving yourself a dead end! This demon monk will surely die because of this one day!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Chijing nodded. He undoubtedly agreed with Hua Xianying's view, because that was how he came to the Shu Mountain Realm!

Although there is such a colossal mountain as Mount Shu in this world, it is not as difficult as it was in Yao Tian Renjian. At least in Yao Tian Renjian, he could not even do normal cultivation in the outer realm. Now, after only three years, he has already reached the middle realm of the outer realm and is steadily improving towards the upper realm of the outer realm.

In ten years at most, he will be able to successfully enter this realm!
“Then I must not only leave behind countermeasures, but also remove the benefits given to the opponent. Furthermore, there is a certain threshold to mastering this method!” Bai Chijing pretended to understand, and then thanked Hua Xianying repeatedly.

Hua Xianying was very pleased to hear Bai Chijing say this.

However, she didn't intend for "Bai Er" to actually create such a method, but rather to cultivate "Bai Er's" mindset. Then, Hua Xianying revealed her purpose: "In this world, there is an old demon with twelve arms, whose cultivation and supernatural powers are no less than those of the Ten Fierce Giants. However, this demon is extremely cunning and rarely reveals his whereabouts. But every time he does reveal himself, it inevitably causes chaos in the world. Bai Er, you have excellent talent and a high probability of luring out that old demon, so are you willing to go down the mountain?"

“Immortal Hua, I am willing.” Bai Chijing’s inspired body immediately agreed, after all, this was his chance to lead the way in causing trouble.

“From now on, you will be considered half my disciple. With this title, I can protect you once!” Hua Xianying said, her eyes full of meaning.

　Sorry, I fell asleep at 11 pm last night. I'll make up for the missed update today.
