Chapter 619

Shi Xuan's eyes lit up because he saw that there was only a single sword mark on the stone wall. If breaking through a restriction array required one to break through it with force and leave behind a sword mark, then this place should be densely packed with sword marks.

Moreover, this was the back mountain of the Biluo Mountains, and not one of the five great peaks. In addition, the Old Sword Maestro was able to break through this restriction array with the strength of a second-tier dao technique. That meant that the restriction array itself was not very high-level. It was just a little special. It was very likely that in ancient times, this place was open to all disciples of the Sky Sword Sect.

In that case, how did these disciples of the Sky Sword Sect break through the restriction array? The most likely possibility was that they used a token or something to control the restriction array to enter. But if that was the case, when Shi Xuan used dao techniques to attack the stone wall, the restriction array would also react, and not only when he used sword light. These circumstances indicated that the restriction array here was a kind of test for the sword light. Only those who passed the test could enter.

Since it was a test, and the disciples of the Sky Sword Sect did not leave behind any sword marks, it meant that the test for the sword light should not only be a test of power. And if Shi Xuan's guess was correct, then the test here was not the power of the sword light at all. It was only because the Old Sword Maestro had forcefully broken through the restriction array that he misunderstood.

Shi Xuan closed his eyes and began to circulate the Qi of Creation. He then recalled the feeling of the Great Boundless Sword Will in the Great Sword Conference Hall, hoping that under this special state of mind, he could simulate the Great Boundless Sword Will.

After experiencing the process of the sword will invading his soul and being defeated by him, Shi Xuan was rather confident that he could simulate it. This should be enough. After all, it was the sword will of an almighty Heavenly Immortal.

If someone were to see Shi Xuan at this moment, they would discover that his body was emitting an aura that was even more ancient than the forest and stone wall that had evolved for millions of years. Following that, the green sword light beside him slashed at the stone wall with an indomitable momentum that could cut through everything.

The Heaven's Thunder Demon Sword's green sword light went from slow to fast, faster and faster. When it hit the stone wall, the sword light was already close to the speed of the Sword Qi Thunder. At that moment, a huge rebound force was produced, but this rebound force was like tofu under the sword intent that could cut through everything, cleave through everything, and obtain freedom. It was easily cleaved apart by Shi Xuan's sword light.

After that, the green sword light immediately stopped, but Shi Xuan could already feel a slight vibration coming from the bottom of the lake.

Sure enough, Shi Xuan opened his eyes in delight. This stone wall was actually testing the level of the Heaven's Sword Sect's disciples' sword arts and sword techniques. Only by learning the true meaning of those techniques would they be able to break through.

"If I didn't go to the Red Maple Mountain Sword Conference Hall, I wouldn't be able to feel the Great Boundless Sword Will. This is really the will of God." Shi Xuan thought, "No, if I didn't go to the Red Maple Mountain, I would've already reached the Blue Net Mountain, and I wouldn't have met the people of Deity Sword Villa, and I wouldn't have exploded my External Elixir. I could've just forced the old man to break through, so it can't be the will of God." In a flash, Shi Xuan rejected the idea of the will of God.

In Shi Xuan's Divine Sense, there was a hidden cave at the bottom of the lake, and there was a bluestone staircase at the entrance.

Since he judged that the test here was for the disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect, and not for the cultivators above Jindan Stage, Shi Xuan was not too worried about the danger inside the cave. After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect would not play with the lives of their own disciples for no reason. It was just that what was down there, and why didn't the old man come out after he went in?

Carefully, with these questions in mind, Shi Xuan walked into the cave under the protection of the Golden Bridge of the Other Shore, Misty Cloud Robe, and Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield.

…

Outside the Spirit Sword Peak.

"Villa Master Li, why are you in such a sorry state? Did you encounter a Jindan Stage Heavenly Devil? " Ji Wujiu, one of the nine great elders of the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, asked Li Huaiyuan in a seemingly concerned manner. In fact, he was secretly delighted. If Li Huaiyuan's injuries were too severe, he would be able to make a fortune immediately. This Grotto-Heaven was lawless. As long as he silenced them and erased all traces of them, no one would know.

Since Li Huaiyuan dared to come here, he had already calculated the strength of the two sides. At this time, he faintly smiled and said, "My Personal Flying Sword is just a little damaged, it's not a big deal. Thank you for your concern, Elder Ji."

Ji Wujiu, who had no way to determine Li Huaiyuan's injury, didn't dare to make a move. He had only reached the middle level Jindan Stage for a hundred years, his Personal Spiritual Weapon was only at the peak of the second level, and most of his Daoist techniques were at the fourth level. Even if Li Huaiyuan's Personal Flying Sword couldn't be used, he could only be in a stalemate with Li Huaiyuan. Besides, there was another low-level Jindan Stage Elder, Zhu Wangyan, next to him, so he only had the upper hand. At most, he had a ten to twenty percent chance of defeating Li Huaiyuan. It would be better to wait until the formation was broken and confirm Li Huaiyuan's injury before making a decision.

Understanding this point, the sanctimonious Ji Wujiu touched his short white beard and said with a smile, "I wonder which expert could actually damage Villa Master Li's Sun-Penetrating Sword, which is at the peak of the third level? I'm very curious. " Even Zhu Wangyan, who looked like a young girl next to him, looked at Li Huaiyuan with a smile. After all, among the Jindan Grandmaster, Li Huaiyuan's strength could be ranked in the front.

Li Huaiyuan chuckled. "Speaking of which, the one who damaged my Sun-Penetrating Sword also has a little relationship with your Alliance."

"What do you mean?" Ji Wujiu asked with a serious expression. Could it be that one of the elders who wasn't at the Alliance Headquarters was coincidentally at the Heavenly Sword Sect's Grotto-Heaven?

"Xing Zhao," Li Huaiyuan spat out these two words cleanly.

When Zhu Wangyan heard this, her pretty face turned cold. "It's actually this thief. After hiding for dozens of years, he finally couldn't help but jump out?" Although they had already confirmed that Xuan Yi Zhen's death was caused by Venerable Yin God, the only survivor, Xing Zhao, had become the target of the Wandering Cultivators Alliance's anger since they hadn't caught the real culprit.

"Hehe, actually, Xing Zhao never hid. It's just that he has another identity." Li Huaiyuan stopped there and didn't say anything else.

Zhu Wangyan was a little confused. "Another identity? Villa Master Li, please tell us. The Alliance will definitely thank you. "Ji Wujiu nodded.

Only then did Li Huaiyuan reveal a sincere smile. "I came to inform the two of you. However, my Great Villa Master is busy and can't come. I can't do anything alone. I want to cooperate with the two of you. When the time comes, just give me some of the benefits and I'll be satisfied."

Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan glanced at each other. They hadn't even broken through the formation yet, so there was no harm in agreeing to his request. Even if they had to make a Taoist Heart Oath, it would be fine. After all, it was just a small share of the benefits. What they would give him, and whether or not they would make a move after that was all up to them. Moreover, with Li Huaiyuan by their side, they wouldn't have to be afraid of the people from the Luofu Sect and the other independent Jindan Stage Masters joining forces. Hence, Ji Wujiu said, "We couldn't ask for more help from Villa Master Li.

After Li Huaiyuan made them make a Taoist Heart Oath, he said, "Xing Zhao is Penglai Shi Xuan. More accurately, Xing Zhao is Shi Xuan's External Elixir!"

"What? External Elixir! How is that possible?! But … "Zhu Wangyan was shocked at first, but he immediately realized that there must be a lot of loopholes in the Tianji List with Yang Shen Zhenren.

Ji Wujiu's expression didn't look too good. It wasn't worth it to provoke Penglai just for Xuan Yi Zhen's death. Although it was related to the Alliance's reputation, Penglai would take out his anger on him. Secondly, when he wanted revenge, he never thought that Xing Zhao was from the eight sects. If he really provoked Penglai, the Wandering Cultivators Alliance wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

Most importantly, the Alliance's reputation was the Alliance's reputation. It wasn't worth it to take action against them and bully them. Penglai wouldn't let them go. That would be risking his life.

"This is the Heaven Sword Sect's grotto-heaven." Seeing Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan hesitate, Li Huaiyuan gently reminded them.

"Then …" Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan pondered. If they could really kill Shi Xuan and restore the Alliance's reputation, they might even be recognized by the Grand Supreme Elder to protect them in their reincarnation. Moreover, in the grotto-heaven, if they did it cleanly, there wouldn't be any loose ends. Penglai wouldn't be able to kill all the Jindan Grandmaster in the grotto-heaven. If he really could be so overbearing, the Wandering Cultivators Alliance wouldn't be able to be established.

"I will also help. He self-destructed his External Elixir and damaged my Natal Flying Sword. I must avenge it." Li Huaiyuan added more weight.

"No more External Elixirs?" Ji Wujiu's eyes lit up. Even if Shi Xuan had mastered the Sword Light Differentiation Technique, in the eyes of Jindan Grandmaster, he would only need a little more strength to finish him off. Without the Sword Light Differentiation Technique that matched the strength of a Jindan, no matter how elusive it was, it wouldn't be able to hurt him.

"But where is he now? Does Villa Master Li know? "Zhu Wangyan seemed to have made up his mind.

Li Huaiyuan said with a smile, "I don't know where he is now, but he will definitely leave through the entrance. I have already sent my people to wait there with a few rank five Dao Talismans. Once they find Shi Xuan, they will first use the talismans to seal the exit, trap him, and then inform us."

Ji Wujiu nodded. "Villa Master Li is indeed far-sighted. Let's do that. But the most important thing right now is the Spirit Sword Peak. Uh, the people from Luofu Sect are here. "

…

In the back mountain of Blue Net Mountain, from the space passage deep in the jungle, two mighty groups of Sky Demons flew out. One group was a group of lantern-shaped monsters that emitted bright light, and the other group was a group of Sky Demons that looked like red balls. The two leading Sky Demons were dozens of meters in size, and their eyes were like wheels.

These Sky Demons crossed the jungle and flew into the void.

…

Inside the cave.

Shi Xuan walked down the bluestone stairs step by step. The empty and quiet cave was not dark, because on the stone walls on both sides and above his head, there were beautiful pearls that emitted soft White Light like Night Pearls every few meters.

The stairs meandered down. Shi Xuan didn't know how long he had walked, but finally, the ground under his feet was flat. In front of him was a bronze door, which was engraved with white, gold, purple, cyan, and silver flying swords, which looked simple and unadorned.

And on the side of the door, there were some ancient seal characters: "Heavenly Sword Sect's Sword Path."

At this time, Shi Xuan suddenly realized that this was the ancient sword path of sword cultivation. Generally, it was set up for those disciples below Jindan Stage to have a pure and firm sword intent. No wonder the entrance required a sword test, and no other method. Only by passing the test could one be qualified to enter.

The old sword man had reached the bottleneck of advancing to Jindan Stage, and he had been unable to break through for many years. Therefore, after knowing this place, he hurriedly came here, hoping to find the opportunity to advance to Jindan Stage by re-embarking on the ancient sword cultivation path. As for why he couldn't get out, he could only find his remains.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Shi Xuan slowly pushed open the bronze door and walked in.
