Mysterious mirror hanging high

In order for Nan Chenshui to advance smoothly, his ancestor Nan Xingyan did not do things in a glorious way, which made Nan Chenshui feel ashamed. In addition, he was easily defeated by Guan Lingxiao. He was a thin-skinned person and was so ashamed and angry that he covered his face and ran away.

The Taoist priest of Liangyi Temple [Wei Wudao] was originally happy to see Juntian Temple suffer a setback, but after seeing Guan Lingxiao's ability, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked:

"With the destruction of the Sword Pavilion, could it be that the entire Daoist sect's luck has converged on this 'Sword Pavilion Orphan'? His formidable swordsmanship, I wonder if it's due to his origins in the Sword Pavilion, or the guidance of Taoist Xuanjing?"

"Fortunately, that Taoist Xuanjing doesn't have any powerful background, he's just a wandering wanderer... If he were from Juntian Temple, there would be no hope for our Liangyi Taoist sect to rise!"

On the other hand, the Holy Maiden of Penglai [Xiao Yinghan] looked Guan Lingxiao up and down with her beautiful eyes, her expression sparkling:

"What excellent swordsmanship and magical powers... From the distant past, there's the already ascended Divine Transformation Sword Cultivator Chang Jingsi, to the more recent examples like Lu Yingzhao, Nangong Fuhua, and Li Suxuan... Their swordsmanship at the Golden Core stage is no better than this!"

The fighting abilities of the two men were much stronger than that of Nan Chenshui, the cultivation idiot. They could see that Guan Lingxiao had not shown his true abilities just now and still had a lot of strength left. After comparing the two, they all agreed that if they fought alone, none of them could defeat the blind swordsman in front of them.

However, Guan Lingxiao didn't seem interested in fighting with them again, so he simply left the ring with the wooden sword in his arms.

In fact, the three places in this Penglai meeting will be decided by these four golden and purple cultivators. If any one of them is completely eliminated, the remaining three will automatically advance. Now that the meeting is nearing its end, naturally no other cultivators will come forward to challenge, otherwise they will only bring shame upon themselves.

"Disciple, well done!"

Jing Yu stepped forward and patted Guan Lingxiao on the shoulder, then turned to Li Suxuan and said, "This kid has been low-key since he was young. If he had a domineering personality, he wouldn't have fought the Taoist of Juntian Temple alone just now, but would have challenged the three golden and purple geniuses, Xiao Yinghan, Wei Wudao, and Nan Chenshui, to a duel. That would have given him a sense of dominance."

Ye Xingyun, standing by, interrupted, "A single-handed fight against three Golden Purple Prodigies of the same rank? You're so audacious... As a master, don't put too much pressure on your apprentice. This is a bad habit that needs to be corrected."

Guan Lingxiao, holding his sword, pondered, "One against three? It's a big deal, but it's like publicly insulting One Mountain, Two Views. Making enemies like this is unwise. Even if you dominate the world, you can't make everyone your enemy, right?"

Ye Jinyuan, who was standing behind Jing Yu, was shocked when he heard this: "Big Brother only said that he didn't want to make too many enemies, but he didn't say if he could fight the three geniuses alone. Does he still have a chance of winning?"

Ye Jinyuan's current cultivation level was too low, and he didn't quite understand the fight between the many Jindan cultivators just now. Instead, the mundane swordsmanship that Guan Lingxiao displayed at the end was extremely simple, which feasted his eyes. However, he only felt that the eldest brother and Nan Chenshui had fought for a long time, and it should have been a draw, with the eldest brother winning slightly in the end.

"Alas, Master shone brightly at the Penglai Conference two hundred years ago, and now Senior Brother has won first place at the conference as well. I wonder if I can even win a place at such a grand event two hundred or four hundred years from now? Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Master's reputation?"

Ye Jinyuan immediately shook his head and smiled, thinking to himself that this was just wishful thinking: "With my talent, whether I can form a pill is still a question!"

While Ye Jinyuan was lost in thought, Jing Yu had already pulled Guan Lingxiao aside and handed him a storage bag.

"Disciple, take this."

Guan Lingxiao took the storage bag and scanned it with his mind, realizing there was nothing else inside except a few jade slips. He couldn't help but wonder:

"This is?"

"This is the version of several other types of skills that I have created over the past few years, based on a water-based technique called [Turtle Breathing Method to Avoid Disasters], adding to and modifying it."

"Among them, the water system was originally a Nascent Soul level technique, while the wood and earth systems... were only modified to the Golden Core level."

"As for the four elements of gold, fire, thunder, and wind, they are only at the foundation-building level. These elements are not in line with the original concept of the cultivation method. Perhaps it is because my knowledge is shallow, so there is really nothing I can do to change them."

Jing Yu revealed the most core secrets of [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] and whispered, "According to the divine imprint of [Yuhua Zhenxian] in the cave, [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian] will place every cultivator who enters into a different small world, and each small world involves a different core mystery."

"The core puzzle of the [Da Li World] is [Spiritual Energy Revival]. If you can solve the problem of spiritual energy depletion within it, you should be able to obtain the legendary supreme reward."

"But if this problem cannot be solved, as long as you spread this technique I gave you, it can also allow as many spiritual roots as possible to survive the 190-year [Spiritual Energy Exhaustion Era] and enter the 10-year [Spiritual Energy Abundance Era]."

"I think that after a few thousand years, there should be many Jindan cultivators in this small world."

"Of course, you might not be able to land in the [Da Li World] by chance, but if it were another world, as long as you recruit disciples, spread the skills, and help as many natives as possible embark on the path of cultivation, I think your final evaluation will not be too low."

Guan Lingxiao's eyes were filled with shock. He never expected that his master had completely cracked the secret of [Xuanyuan Yuhuatian]!

"Master... Zhongzhou's top sects have been researching for 20,000 years and haven't come up with anything yet, and yet you're talking so convincingly about it. Are you related to that [Yuhua Zhenxian]?"

Jing Yu laughed and said, "What's my level of cultivation? What's the level of Yuhua Zhenxian? How can I even compare to them?"

"Besides, when he died, my master wasn't even born yet."

"In fact, it's quite normal that the major sects in Zhongzhou haven't fully grasped Xuanyuan Yuhuatian's true identity. After all, cultivators enter the Cave Heaven Secret Realm to seek opportunities and treasures, which is essentially a means of seizure... The natives of the Cave Heaven Secret Realm are considered enemies to the cultivators."

"However, Xuanyuan Yuhuatian requires cultivators to do the exact opposite. Not only are they forbidden from seizing, but they are also required to teach the locals and give them treasures... This act of support is considered dedication."

"This is counterintuitive in itself. Which cultivator would enter a secret realm just to give back their own opportunities and treasures to the natives?"

"Over twenty thousand years ago, [Penglai Celestial Monarch] Xiao Buyi might have gotten lucky by accident, but I suspect he simply took the great opportunity he received in this cave heaven as his own unparalleled good fortune and destiny, and ignored the underlying logic. This is why none of his descendants have ever received an opportunity to reach the level of an immortal in this cave heaven."
