Chapter 533

The blood-red blade light was not far from him. He could almost smell the thick smell of blood. It was the first time he was so close to death. At this moment, Shi Xuan realized how afraid he was of death. Only when he was alive could he have unlimited possibilities. If he died, nothing would be left. Would it be eternal darkness or endless oblivion? Would he be unable to hear, see, speak, touch, feel, or even think from then on? Just the thought of it sent chills down his spine …

And at the moment when the great horror between life and death hit his soul, Shi Xuan had already used the supreme method. So, in the sea of consciousness of the Purple Mansion, there was a strange situation. There seemed to be an emotionless Shi Xuan at the top, looking down at Shi Xuan who was terrified and had tumbling thoughts.

At this moment, those countless thoughts flashed through different scenes of memories.

The joy of hearing the Celestial Way for the first time.

The hardships of cultivation engraved in his bones.

The firm path under the indifference, contempt, and ridicule of the people in Penglai.

The desire for knowledge when he asked his master to teach him Taoism.

The joy of breaking through the realm.

It was not easy for him to escape from Meng Li.

The calmness and decisiveness when facing the Zombie King.

The joy of completing the natal instrument.

A tear slipped down from the corner of Xu Jingyi's eyes, and then she replied in a hoarse voice, "Master Shi, please understand, Jingyi will not go."

"Hate! Hate! Hate! One hate that the heavens are blind, I can't meet Uncle-Master ten years earlier! Second, he hated being young and frivolous, not knowing how to take care of himself! Three hate that I received the true teachings, and my lifespan is already coming to an end! I only hope to have a glimpse of the Great Way in my next life! Disciple Nantian has let Uncle-Master down! "

Ding Mingde knew he had the answer, so he kowtowed nine times and said, "I still have many worldly affairs, and it is not convenient for me to follow Uncle-Master back to the mountain to cultivate."

Chu Wan'er did not even think about it, and said cheerfully, "Of course I am willing. Wan'er wants to see the sea, Wan'er wants to catch demon beasts, and Wan'er wants to fly."

Although the mortals on the North Sea Ship could do nothing about it, it was something that no one could change. They could only watch it happen.

It was just a cold wind, and Zhou Chen, who fell seriously ill and could not get out of bed, and Old Man Zhang, who suddenly died. It was just a serious illness, and Zhou Chen seemed to have aged a few years. There were also many passengers on the ship who had aged a little over the past two years.

"Daddy, I've grown a little taller." Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying were happily comparing their heights. This was the joy of being alive and growing up. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he froze on this image.

The emotionless Shi Xuan at the top seemed to have touched upon that opportunity! Yes, the only thing that could resist the fear of death was the joy of life, the desire to live, and the desire to live forever!

I want to die! " All of his thoughts were focused on this voice, and all other distracting thoughts were eliminated. Suddenly, Shi Xuan's soul shook. It was clear, as if something had been broken.

Shi Shuan's soul was running fast, but the saber light was much slower. Shi Shuan felt that the surroundings seemed to have quieted down. Even the wind had stopped. He could clearly sense the blood-red saber light that was less than three feet away from him approaching him bit by bit. He could also sense the crystal-clear divine thoughts that were circling around his body!

Amidst this mysterious feeling, Shi Shuan gently lifted his finger, and the Ten Thousand Invisible Elephants Sword transformed into a clear light with an indescribable speed. Before Duan Wuqing's Shura Blood Saber could strike Shi Shuan, it pierced through Duan Wuqing's head like a gust of wind.

Duan Wuqing's eyes were wide open. They were filled with disbelief and disbelief. The Shura Blood Knife was half a foot away from falling on Shi Xuan, but it was no longer accurate. Shi Xuan slightly shrunk his shoulder and dodged it.

He tried to open his mouth to say something, but how could a dead man speak? Unfortunately, there was no regret in his eyes. He didn't even have time to regret. He didn't even have time to understand how he had failed on the verge of success. He suddenly died!

Only now did the thunderous sound of the Thousand Elephants Invisible Sword breaking through the atmosphere reach his ears, but he couldn't hear it anymore.

Shi Xuan's swordsmanship had almost reached the level of Sword Qi Thunderous. It was only because of the limitations of his realm that he couldn't break through. Just now, when Shi Xuan's cultivation advanced to the Divine Soul Stage, he naturally learned the peerless sword technique Sword Qi Thunderous.

Even though Duan Wuqing was already dead, Shi Xuan still didn't dare to be careless. The Yin and Yang fishes behind him slowly rotated again. They brushed out the Yin and Yang energies, turning Duan Wuqing's entire body into chaotic energy. All that was left was a dim Shura Blood Knife.

"Haha, I didn't think that Junior Brother Shi would really break through to the Divine Soul Stage between life and death. Congratulations. Hmm, you even practiced Sword Qi Thunderous." A calm and happy voice came from behind Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan's Shadowless Manifestation Sword appeared behind him in a flash. He then turned around and saw a young cultivator dressed in a moon-white Daoist robe. He had a handsome face and a calm and gentle temperament. He was none other than Xie Fangwei, one of the true disciples of Penglai Sect that Shi Xuan was most familiar with. Thus, Shi Xuan asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Xie, why are you here?"

Xie Fangwei smiled gently and said, "Xue He Laozu had to calculate to know that Junior Brother Shi would come to the North Pole. However, the Sect didn't have to go through so much trouble. Uncle Master Mo was very sure that Junior Brother Shi would arrive at the North Pole in two or three years. Moreover, you would certainly take a ship to the Ice Crystal City."

Shi Xuan didn't expect his master to understand his character and thoughts so well. Therefore, he said gratefully, "So the Sect asked Senior Brother Xie to protect Junior Brother Shi?" However, what puzzled Shi Xuan was why the Sect didn't inform him two years ago when he was still in the overseas countries.

Xie Fangwei nodded and said, "When Xue He Laozu was calculating Junior Brother Shi, something strange happened in the Sect's Book of Inheritance. Therefore, Zhenren was able to interfere with it. However, it was a little too late. Xue He Laozu was still able to calculate that you would arrive at the North Pole. Because I'm traveling in the North Pole, the sect informed me to come over. "

Then, Xie Fangwei paused for a while and said, "However, Uncle Master Mo said, 'Don't tell him about this. Don't meet up with him when you arrive at the North Pole. Save him only if he's dead. Otherwise, he'll think that the Sect can protect him at any time. Then, he'll think that he'll be lucky in the future. How can there be so many good things in this world? '" He said this with an expressionless face that was common to Mo Yuan. However, Shi Xuan almost couldn't help but laugh when he saw such an expression on a gentle and delicate face.

Although Shi Xuan knew Xie Fangwei when he entered the Sect, he didn't have much contact with him. Now, he realized that Xie Fangwei was a very easy person to get along with. He was gentle, casual, and could joke around. Therefore, he smiled and sighed, "Ah, my master is like this. Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Xie was ready to make a move just now? "

"Well, even if Junior Brother Shi couldn't make a breakthrough just now, I was confident that I could save you." As the two of them conversed, Xie Fangwei realized that Shi Xuan was also an easy person to get along with. Therefore, he put away his politeness and started to address himself as' Brother '. Moreover, when he said this, he had a calm and composed expression, as if he didn't care about Heartless Duan at all. This was the performance of having absolute strength as his backing. Actually, thinking about it, Xie Fangwei first followed the two of them and then watched the battle from the side. However, the two of them actually didn't notice a single trace of him. One could imagine how deep and unfathomable his strength was.

Shi Xuan still cupped his hands and bowed, "No matter what, Junior Brother thanks Senior Brother. It's better not to make a breakthrough a second time when it's between life and death. Otherwise, there's a 99% chance that you'll die. "

Xie Fangwei smiled gently, "It's good that you have this kind of understanding. Even someone like Junior Uncle Yong who can't take back his sword will not frequently place himself between life and death to make a breakthrough. People who do that won't live long. Hehe, speaking of Junior Uncle Yong, I have to congratulate Junior Brother Shi again. You're the second genius in the three thousand years of the sect after Junior Uncle Yong to master the peerless sword art, Thunderous Sword Qi, right after breaking through to the Divine Soul Stage! "

Shi Xuan blushed with shame. Perhaps he had some talent in sword art, but he was definitely not a genius. Other than painstakingly practicing sword art, it was also thanks to Lu Lingxiao's swordsmanship experience that he imparted to him all of his understanding and experience regarding sword art without reservation. With such a sword expert teaching him everything, in addition to Shi Xuan's own hard work and a bit of talent, Shi Xuan was able to achieve his current peerless sword art. Therefore, Shi Xuan chuckled and said, "I don't deserve Senior Brother Xie's praise. I also had some fortuitous encounters that allowed me to have today's achievements in sword art."

"Which cultivator who can reach the Divine Soul Stage didn't have any fortuitous encounters? Well, Junior Brother Shi, you've just made a breakthrough, so you should hurry and stabilize your cultivation. I'll protect you. After you stabilize your cultivation, we still have things to do. Heh, since the Blood Demon Sect dares to come and kill you, let's kill them one by one and see what the other three are capable of. " Xie Fangwei knew that Shi Xuan had just made a breakthrough and needed a quiet time to practice, so he didn't say anything more.

Shi Xuan nodded. He didn't ask why the other three hadn't received the Blood Demon Sect's warning and evacuated. Instead, he descended from the sky, sat down on the snowy ground, and began to practice. As for the cultivator guarding the gate, he could deal with them with a casual swing of his sword.

Divine sense was an intangible and intangible soul that belonged to the spiritual world. It was a bridge between the material world and the real world. The soul used it to control the body and the spiritual energy of the outside world. After fusing it with the soul to form the Divine Soul, it would be able to break through the barrier between the spiritual world and the material world. This would lay a solid foundation for the Golden Core stage Divine Soul to directly interfere with reality without using any magic techniques. This step was a shortcut, but it would be much more difficult to achieve the Golden Core stage. In fact, it might even be impossible to advance further.

Of course, after fusing the Divine Soul, there were many other benefits: the ability to control one's body would be greatly enhanced, and the reaction time from thought to action would also be greatly reduced. Therefore, the casting time would be shorter, and the control of flying swords, magic tools, and Real Qi would be more accurate and long-range. Magic techniques could also be cultivated to a higher level, and he could also form a Real Qi domain within a radius of several feet around his body. Moreover, as his cultivation deepened, the domain would gradually grow larger.

Shi Xuan entered a state of visualization and sensed the divine sense fluttering in and around his body. Then, his soul commanded one of the divine senses to slowly return from the spiritual world and the material world to the spiritual world. After that, it was stored in his soul. Then, according to the method on the treasure record, his soul slowly revolved in order to fuse that divine sense with himself.
