Chapter 411

In the thick grass, three children were lying there, looking at the valley filled with black and white gas in front of them.

"Ah Qi, you said you saw a strange person inside?" A six or seven year old little girl asked in a childish voice. She was dressed in colorful embroidered clothes, and her eyes were filled with the excitement of an adventure.

A ten year old boy answered in a low voice, "Yes, two days ago I sneaked out to play and found that the black and white color of Death Valley has faded a lot. I stood far away and looked, I think I saw a strange person!" This boy called Ah Qi's head and body were slightly uncoordinated, a little too big.

Another boy about the same age as Ah Qi said with a fierce face, "Fu Ah Qi, don't talk nonsense, how can there be people in Death Valley?! Little Qiu, I heard from dad that there was a big leopard tail wild boar last time, it accidentally rushed to the edge of Death Valley and died a moment later with one side charred black and the other blue. Many ingrates around only dared to look from afar, not daring to rush into Death Valley to eat its corpse. How do you think humans can enter Death Valley? "

Little Qiu said disdainfully, "Ah Mao, your dad said that there are demon beasts in the deep mountains that can turn into humans. Why have I never seen them before? "

Ah Mao was about to argue, but Ah Qi said faintly, "Maybe Ah Mao's dad didn't lie, that strange person is most likely a demon beast in human form, otherwise how can ordinary people dare to enter Death Valley." His expression was a little fearful, but also a little expectant.

"Really? Really? " Little Qiu shouted excitedly, he was really happy, he could see the legendary demon beast, and also a guy that could live in Death Valley.

Ah Qi suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Quick, quickly lie down, it's coming out." Then he buried himself in the grass.

Ah Mao and Little Qiu did the same, but Little Qiu's round eyes were filled with excitement, expectation, and joy as he stared at the valley.

A somewhat otherworldly young man came out of the valley, he was wearing strange clothes that Little Qiu had never seen before, whether it was his appearance or body, there was nothing strange about him, it was just that there was a thick layer of black and white gas around him, making him somewhat blurry.

The young man suddenly smiled at them, and then in the blink of an eye, he soared up into the sky, causing Little Qiu, Ah Qi, and Ah Mao to stare blankly with their mouths agape and eyes wide open.

"Flew, flew, flew?!" Ah Qi stammered.

Ah Mao also had an expression of disbelief, "Could he be the legendary immortal?"

Little Qiu rolled his eyes and lowered his face, saying solemnly, "I already know the truth!"

"Ah?" Ah Qi looked at Little Qiu as if he had seen a ghost.

"What?" Ah Seven looked at Little Qiu as if he had seen a ghost.

Little Qiu put his hands on his waist and said solemnly, "He's a flying demon beast!"

At the source of the Infernal Qi, after four years of arduous refinement, Shi Xuan finally transformed all the True Qi in his body into liquid True Qi. However, this liquid True Qi was still very scattered and could not be completely absorbed into his body. This was due to the nature of the Infernal Qi. Only by absorbing Stellar Energy and neutralizing it with Qi would he be able to control it freely and reach the level of Qi Channeling.

At this time, Shi Xuan was standing in the fifth layer of Stellar Energy. Because he had the Taiji diagram to protect him, he was able to climb higher than others. The Stellar Energy here had already developed some spirituality and had transformed into giant cloud beasts. Seals had even begun to appear in their bodies.

Closing his eyes and sensing for a moment, Shi Xuan discovered a cloud beast formed from Chaotic Stellar Energy and immediately flew over. The dragon-shaped cloud beast was enormous, its color indistinct. When it saw Shi Xuan flying over, it was not afraid and opened its mouth wide to meet him.

Shi Xuan didn't want to waste any more time with it. Instead, his black and white true energy surged and wrapped around the dragon-shaped cloud beast. In the air, the black and white cocoon trembled a few times and then calmed down.

A few days later, Shi Xuan retracted his black and white Qi and reappeared in the layer of Stellar Energy. The Yin and Yang Qi around his body, which could not be absorbed into his body, had decreased significantly.

As time passed, the Yin and Yang Qi around Shi Xuan decreased. Finally, after a month, Shi Xuan let out a clear whistle. The thin layer of black and white Qi on the surface of his body flowed into Shi Xuan's dantian like a river flowing into the sea.

In Shi Xuan's dantian, the Qi had completely turned into a black and white liquid. Because of the Qi and Stellar Energy, the Yin and Yang Qi, which originally had no offensive or defensive power, could turn into a black and white Qi intertwined with the power of the sun and the power of the moon. Its power was extraordinary, but because it had not been tempered by the Thunder Tribulation, it could not become Yin and Yang Chaotic Qi. This could only be done after the Primordial Spirit.

With a slight thought, Shi Xuan's Yin and Yang Qi automatically transformed into the cyan Divine Samadhi Wind Qi. His total magic power was now ten to twenty times greater than when he was at Small Success in the Qi Channeling Realm. He would no longer run out of power after using his life weapon a few times. This was the benefit of reaching Large Success in the Qi Channeling Realm!

In the five years that he had been condensing the Stellar Energy, Shi Xuan's magic tools and innate abilities had all changed.

The Prime Clear Cardinal Thunder was already at Level Seven. It was a threat to early stage Divine Soul cultivators. As for his other innate abilities, they were still at Level Six. He could not continue to cultivate them. It seemed that he would have to wait until his Divine Soul became one.

The Wanxiang Shadowless Sword already had 42 layers of restrictions. He still needed around four years to reach the peak of the Fifth Layer. Although the number of restrictions was slightly lower, Shi Xuan's swordsmanship had advanced by leaps and bounds. He could even cut down ordinary peak Qi Channeling Realm cultivators. Of course, if there was a chance, Shi Xuan wanted to find a flying sword with even higher layers of restrictions. After all, without the Invisible Divine Metal and the refining method, the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword could at most reach the peak of the Sixth Layer. However, this was not an urgent matter. The Tai Chi diagram on his body was his main offensive magic tool.

The Soul Enchanting Flag had 44 layers of restrictions. In less than two years, it would reach the Fifth Layer. At that time, its power would undergo a massive change.

As for the Green Sun Lamp, Shi Xuan had already completely grasped the Seventh Layer of restrictions. In terms of Illusion Breaker, Illusion Breaker, and Burning Evil, he had made considerable progress.

The Tai Chi diagram still needed 11 years to reach the peak of the Sixth Layer. Even so, with the completion of the last few layers of restrictions, its strength had made considerable progress.

The Yin Yang Twin Qi Bottle needed around two years to reach the peak of the Fifth Layer. At that time, it would pose a great threat to Divine Soul cultivators.

The two newly obtained short blades called Coldlight Daggers had been mixed with some 10,000 year old cold iron. They could be considered high-grade magic tools. However, Shi Xuan had only destroyed the mark on them; he hadn't continued to grasp them. This was because they didn't match with Shi Xuan's swordsmanship.

Two months later, at the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Shi Xuan looked down at the bustling town below, his heart filled with emotion. It had been over 19 years. It had been almost 20 years since he had left the Central Plains.

Ever since he had reached small success in the Qi Drawing Realm, Shi Xuan had returned to Flatwave City, hoping to buy a good flying sword. Unfortunately, he didn't like the flying swords in the city, so he could only ask Yu Kaishan to help him look for one.

Then, according to the map given to him by the sect, Shi Xuan turned left and right in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. After several dozen days, he finally arrived at the edge of the other side of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. As for directly flying over or passing through, Shi Xuan didn't have any thoughts. Who knew if he would encounter a sixth-rank, seventh-rank, or even higher monster beast. Those fellows placed a great deal of importance on their territory. Even the sky above them belonged to them.

Therefore, Shi Xuan could only follow the secret route given to him by the sect and bypass the territory of those powerful monster beasts. Only a large sect like Penglai would have such an advantage. Rogue cultivators and cultivators from small sects didn't even dare to enter the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, let alone pass through it.

There was a faint halo in front of Shi Xuan that ordinary people couldn't see. It enveloped the entire Central Plains and was as gentle as the ripples of water. However, it prevented all monsters above the third rank from entering the Central Plains. At the same time, it also prevented a Qi Drawing Realm cultivator like Shi Xuan from entering the Central Plains.

Fortunately, Shi Xuan was prepared. He took out an inconspicuous talisman and patted it on his chest. With this pat, the talisman magically entered Shi Xuan's body. Then, a White Light flashed on Shi Xuan's body, and the faint pressure from the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth disappeared without a trace. Shi Xuan became like an ordinary person again, without any abnormalities.

"Well, as long as I don't actively connect with the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, the effect of this talisman will not disappear. It's really amazing. "Shi Xuan could be considered a first-rate immortal now, but he still couldn't help but sigh when he saw this talisman. It was something that his master, Mo Yuan, had asked the sect for when he heard that Shi Xuan wanted to return to the Central Plains. It was most likely the work of an Enlightened Person.

Gently stretching out a hand, Shi Xuan carefully touched the faint halo. That layer of light did not react to Shi Shuan's hand at all, and his hand passed through it. Seeing this, Shi Shuan felt reassured and walked past the light boldly.

A middle-aged woodcutter was chopping firewood in the forest. He was chanting a tune as he chopped down a large tree with his axe. Then, he nodded with satisfaction. Only people like him, who had seen the world and learned martial arts, would dare to enter the depths of the forest and chop down these precious giant trees. Just this piece of wood alone was equivalent to the annual income of the shopkeepers in the town.

At this moment, the middle-aged woodcutter suddenly saw a graceful and elegant young man coming down from the mountain in front of him. He hurriedly rubbed his eyes and looked again, but the young man was already gone. He laughed at himself, "Haha, I'm too tired today, and my eyes are playing tricks on me. It's said that there are countless terrifying monsters on this mountain. If it wasn't for the protection of the Mountain God, they would have come down and razed the town to the ground. For so many years, I've never seen anyone come down alive after going up there! "

Suddenly, his shoulder was patted by someone. He subconsciously shouted, "Who is it? Can't you see that I'm busy! " As soon as the voice came, he realized that he was the only living person within a radius of ten miles. Immediately, a chill ran down his spine. For a moment, all kinds of ghost stories that were circulating in the town, and all kinds of rumors about Qinggong masters in Jianghu flashed in his mind, so he stiffly turned his head to look.

It was that elegant young man standing behind him with a smile, "May I ask, which town is down there? Which state, which prefecture, which city does it belong to? "

He was still on the mountain just now, and in the blink of an eye, he's behind me! This was what the middle-aged woodcutter thought before he fainted.
