Mysterious mirror hanging high

Now, the way Huangfu Yanjun, the instigator, died was exactly the same as that of his younger brother.

"I wish I could kill this beast with my own hands..." Yuwen Xiaojin murmured.

"Brother Xiaojin, you can come out now."

The formation on the deserted island gradually dimmed, revealing the figures of Yuwen Xiaojin and Wan Lingjun. Yuwen Xiaojin smiled bitterly and said:

"Xuan Jing, you'd better come in. Lingjun is seriously injured now and it's really inconvenient for him to move around."

"Oh?"

Jing Yu's expression changed, and he quickly escaped into the deserted island, but saw that Wan Lingjun's face was pale and he was trying his best to suppress the injuries in his body.

"What kind of injury is it?"

Yuwen Xiaojin whispered, "Sword wound...Huangfu Yanjun's fire sword intent still remains."

Jing Yu nodded when he heard this, took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, took out a nearly transparent precious pill, and said:

"This is the [Rootless, Invisible, and Formless Sword Qi Pill], which I refined using the invisible sword intent of my disciple Guan Lingxiao. It's best suited for healing injuries caused by sword intent and sword energy. It works by counteracting the remaining sword intent within the body, eliminating both."

Yuwen Xiaojin took the pill with half belief and half doubt and put it into Wan Lingjun's mouth. After a while, Wan Lingjun's pale face slowly regained its rosy complexion, and it was obvious that his injury had improved.

"It actually worked?" Yuwen Xiaojin asked in surprise, "Isn't your disciple a Jindan sword cultivator? How can his sword intent neutralize the sword intent of a Yuanying sword cultivator?"

"My disciple is extraordinary in the way of swordsmanship and cannot be regarded as an ordinary Jindan swordsman."

Jing Yu was quite proud of this and said with a smile, "Besides, my alchemy skills are pretty good, so this is a great help."

Wan Lingjun finally managed to suppress his injuries. He slowly stood up, a smile etched across his previously expressionless face as he bowed slightly, "Thank you, Xuan Jing... By the way, I haven't congratulated you on forming your Nascent Soul and achieving the status of a True Lord yet."

"Is what Huangfu Yanjun just said true? Have you...really achieved the nine orifices of your infant?"

"I guess so." Jing Yu thought to himself, "Actually, it's not nine orifices, it should be ten orifices..."

Then he changed the subject and asked with some reluctance, "But, are you really unaware of my Nascent Soul Formation? The Nascent Soul Ceremony before was quite a grand occasion..."

"I really don't know." Yuwen Xiaojin said with a wry smile, "We were trapped in a secret realm for over ten years and only recently escaped. We are completely in the dark about what happened during these past ten years."

"When the Yunchuan Region fell... Fellow Daoist Hu and Fellow Daoist Qiu were said to have died, but I heard that Fellow Daoist Bo Lei escaped. How come he wasn't with you?" Jing Yu asked.

Yuwen Xiaojin's expression was gloomy: "Bo Lei... died in the secret realm."

"This... I'm sorry." Jing Yu felt a little embarrassed, but in his heart he thought, "I never thought that in the end, you, Wan Lingjun, would be by Yu Wenxiaojin's side... But now you have changed to the ruthless way. It really is fate that plays tricks on me."

"It's okay. It's my fate to harm several ladies. I can't blame anyone else."

Yuwen Xiaojin's expression was bleak. "Back then, when the Yunchuan Region fell and the demonic cultivators invaded Xiaoyao Immortal City, it was Yueqiu and Zhiyun who risked their lives to protect our escape... In fact, I should have been the one who died in Xiaoyao Immortal City that day."

"That's not the way to say it. Brother Xiao Jin's fellow Daoists would have been willing to die for you... You should live up to their hopes and live well." Jing Yu consoled him, "I haven't even congratulated you on your Nascent Soul formation yet. From now on, you can truly roam freely in the world."

Yuwen Xiaojin shook his head: "A mere True Lord with two orifices, one of which is the orifice of the front yin, which is of no great use. His path was cut off at the early stage of the Nascent Soul. I'm afraid he can only suppress the likes of those who move mountains. It's not worth mentioning."

He looked at Wan Lingjun: "Lingjun... whether it's spiritual root aptitude or immortal foundation, it's all superior to mine. If I prepare well in the future, there may be hope of achieving four or five orifices."

Jing Yu looked at the expressionless Wan Lingjun and frowned, "Are you still practicing that stupid [Way of Ruthlessness]?"

"Xuan Jing, Lingjun needs to correct you on one point." Wan Lingjun said softly, "I'm not cultivating the [Path of Ruthlessness], but the [Path of Forgetfulness]..."

"What's the difference?" Jing Yu secretly complained, but in a flash of inspiration, he suddenly understood:

"So that's how it is... The Way of Forgetting Love, the Way of Forgetting Love... You must first have love in order to forget it. Lingjun did have Yuwen Xiaojin in her heart after all, but does she still have him in her heart now? To what extent has she cultivated this Way of Forgetting Love? I'm afraid only she knows."

Jing Yu sighed inwardly: "Wan Lingjun, ah Wan Lingjun, you have such a hard mouth."

"By the way, why did you two provoke Huangfu Yanjun?"

Yuwen Xiaojin and Wan Lingjun exchanged a glance, both smiling bitterly. Finally, Yuwen Xiaojin took out a strange token dotted with stars and said:

"Isn't it for this thing?"

"This is……"

"Six-line Star Palace Order!"

Yuwen Xiaojin said slowly, "Does Xuanjing know about the rumored [Six Yao Star Palace]?"

Jing Yu pondered and said, "I've heard a little bit about this place. I only know that it is also considered a cave heaven inheritance of the immortal level. However, compared to [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian], this [Six Yao Xing Palace] is far less famous."

"Of course." Yuwen Xiaojin nodded. "After all, the [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] of the Penglai Immortal Continent has a fixed entrance, and it opens once every two hundred years. The entire Penglai righteous path also specially facilitated the [Penglai Gathering] event for this immortal cave, so it's naturally famous."

"But the [Six Yao Star Palace] originates from outer space, and it only drifts to the vicinity of the Immortal Continent and descends into the cave heavens once every thousand years or so. Over a thousand years... that time period is simply too long. Many Jindan cultivators may not even encounter it once in their lifetime. Although the Star Palace is considered a relic of the immortal lineage, it's understandable that it's not well-known."

"And this [Six-Line Star Palace Order] is the certificate for entering the cave heaven."

"Speaking of which, this Star Palace token was brought out from the cave of the Star Palace by an elder from the Immortal Continent. I wonder how the first elder who entered the Star Palace got in without the token?"

Yuwen Xiaojin said, "There aren't many of these tokens left in the Immortal Continent right now. We only managed to find one by chance in a hidden secret realm. We didn't expect something strange to happen when the token first appeared in the world. That's how the news leaked out and we were spotted by Huangfu Yanjun, who happened to be working nearby."

After saying that, Yuwen Xiaojin handed the token to Jing Yu.

"What does this mean?" Jing Yu frowned. Although he was somewhat curious about the immortal inheritance in the Liu Yao Star Palace, it was only a matter of time before he ascended to heaven. He did not have much pressure in practicing, so he really did not lack such an inheritance.

Besides, there is no reason for him to take away his friend's opportunity.

Yuwen Xiaojin shook his head. "This token is too hot to handle. A Two-Aperture True Lord like me can't even hold onto it... No matter how good the opportunity is, it won't count until it's within reach. Otherwise, it might lead to fatal disaster. Wouldn't that be a loss?"

"Besides, I didn't give this token away for nothing. Saving my life is a great favor. Xuan Jing, you saved Ling Jun's life. No matter how I repay you, it won't be too much..."
