The river water was freezing cold, but for Chu Ci, who had practiced several body-building exercises, this chill was like a breeze and he didn't care. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to see if the giant three-corpse crow would chase into the river.

He quietly lurked underwater, using the Golden Eye Technique to closely stare at the Three Corpse Crows above the water. He saw it floating in the air, its eyes constantly scanning downwards, and from time to time it ejected a few streams of black air from its mouth. However, after these black air entered the water, their power and speed were greatly reduced, and they were no longer a threat.

Chu Ci felt relieved when he saw this. It seemed that the three-corpse crow really didn't dare to enter the water. Although he didn't know the specific reason, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity for him to escape.

He identified the direction in the water and then swam away quickly. The speed in the water was far from comparable to flying, so Chu Ci swam at full speed and after a night of hard work, he swam a distance of more than 200 miles.

When he rushed out of the water, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He looked around and saw that the Yanggu River was completely quiet, without even a trace of a three-corpse crow.

Chu Ci took out a cleaning talisman and cleaned off the river water and mud on his body. Then he flew away.

After that, Chu Ci became more cautious. Whenever he encountered a monster, he would fly around it to avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible.

Finally, two months later, a vast mountain range came into view. This was exactly his destination - the Swallowing Star Mountains. The place marked on the map was already within sight!

Chu Ci carefully unfolded the map and compared it with the actual scene. Because of the long time, the topography on the map was slightly different from the real world, and many of the landforms had changed, but they were still generally recognizable.

Guided by the map, Chu Ci finally found a seemingly ordinary mountain. On the shady side of the mountain, there were dense vines growing, crisscrossing and covering the mountain with a thick green coat. The place pointed by the map was where these plants grew most densely.

Chu Ci first circled the mountain a few times and carefully observed the surrounding environment. After making sure that there was no one else here, he jumped into the jungle covered with vines.

When Chu Ci fell, he found that these plants were stacked up layer by layer, growing extremely lushly, and were two or three feet high. The bottom where he was was dark and damp.

Chu Ci began to search around, his eyes moving among the vines, not missing any details. Finally, he found a small bluestone slab on the ground not far away. Chu Ci was sure that this was the location indicated on the map.

Although he carefully searched with his spiritual sense, he did not find anything unusual. If it were not for the guidance of this map, he would never have been able to find this place.

Chu Ci gently turned over the bluestone slab, and immediately, his spiritual sense was able to probe into it.

It seems that this bluestone slab does have some kind of magical power that can block the detection of external spiritual sense.

He looked into the cave curiously, and saw that it was pitch black, like a bottomless abyss. Chu Ci took a deep breath, leaned over and crawled in, and then carefully covered the bluestone slab to ensure that no trace could be seen from the outside.

Entering the cave, Chu Ci felt a cool breeze. The cave was long and winding. He did not dare to be careless. He let go of his spiritual sense and walked forward carefully. Just in case, he pasted a few diamond talismans on his body to add an extra layer of protection for himself.

After walking for a distance, the cave suddenly became wider. A faint light came from the front, and with this light, Chu Ci saw a huge bluestone tablet standing in front of him. This stone tablet was more than one person tall, standing alone in the middle of the cave, and it was particularly conspicuous.

Chu Ci walked closer and closer, and a feeling of awe welled up in his heart. He approached the stone tablet carefully, fearing that he would trigger some mechanism or trap.

But when I walked to the stone tablet, I didn't see anything unusual.

There were a few large characters engraved on the bluestone slab: "We are descendants of the Li family. If you are not at the Jindan stage, do not enter!" The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of majesty and mystery.

Below the big characters, there is a line of small characters: "Left by the Wuji Sword Immortal Li Taibai".

Chu Ci carefully looked at the stone tablet in front of him, trying to find more clues. However, apart from these two lines of words, there was no other trace on the stone tablet.

Chu Ci thought for a moment and felt that since this place was left for the descendants of the Li family, there shouldn't be much danger.

And since this Taibai Gong had left such a warning, he would surely not set any traps to harm his descendants. So, he took a deep breath and walked in.

Inside the cave, at regular intervals, one or two strange plants can be vaguely seen emitting soft light in the darkness, like lighthouses in the gloomy forest.

Chu Ci looked at the glowing plants with curiosity flashing in his eyes, but he knew very well that now was not the best time to pick these unknown spiritual herbs.

So he forced himself to suppress his inner impulse and decided to make plans on his way back.

He continued to move forward cautiously, not daring to be careless. After more than an hour, the scene in the cave suddenly changed. A simple and elegant small building appeared before his eyes.

It is better to call it a pavilion than a small building. 16 pillars support a dome. Although it looks simple, the pavilion is very gorgeous with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Chu Ci approached the small building. He didn't know that the small building was made of various materials. It exuded spiritual energy. When he got close, he could feel waves of coldness, which made him shiver.

He looked up into the pavilion and saw two jade boxes placed on a high black table. This high table was exactly the same as the one he had seen in the Li Family Ancestral Hall, and the jade boxes were also exactly the same.

Although he couldn't see anything unusual, Chu Ci decided not to enter the pavilion in person.

He waved his hand gently and summoned the ghostly stone monkey.

After the stone monkey came out, it looked at Chu Ci with its smart eyes, as if it understood his intention. It glanced at the pavilion and then walked in with a swagger.

Chu Ci watched the movement in the pavilion nervously, and saw the ghostly stone monkey approach the high table and take out the two jade boxes. During the whole process, nothing unusual happened in the cave.

Chu Ci couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Could it be that he could get the things so easily?

The ghostly stone monkey strode out of the pavilion and handed the jade box to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci took the jade box, his heart full of anticipation. He tapped it lightly and opened the first jade box.

Inside the jade box, an ancient book lay quietly, with four large characters "Taibai Sword Technique" written on the cover in vigorous and powerful strokes.

Chu Ci flipped through a few pages at random. The book recorded a kind of martial arts. Practicing this martial arts method can condense several flying swords around the body. These flying swords can kill enemies on their own with amazing power.

Different from the sword formation used by Li Yuanzhong and others, this sword method is designed for one person. The technique is divided into nine levels. When practicing to the last level, one can control up to 216 flying swords. Its power is so huge that it is unimaginable.

However, there are a few striking warnings at the beginning. The requirements for spiritual awareness and spiritual power to practice this technique are extremely demanding. Even if you practice the first level, you need to at least reach the Jindan realm to control 24 flying swords at the same time.

If your cultivation is not sufficient, you may risk damaging your spiritual power if you practice rashly.

Chu Ci nodded secretly in his heart, which coincided with the warning on the large bluestone tablet at the door. Taibai Gong must have been worried that future generations would be too eager for success and thus lose their skills, so he left these words.
