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 by 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 Great Boundless Sword Will that he had felt in the Sword Conference Hall, hoping that he could simulate the Great Boundless Sword Will under this special state of mind.
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 the current Shi Xuan, they would discover that his body was emitting an aura that was even more ancient than the forest and stone wall that had undergone millions of years of evolution. Following that, the green sword light beside him slashed at the stone wall with an indomitable momentum that could cut through everything.
The Heaven Thunder Demon Sword's green sword light went from slow to fast, and when it slashed the stone wall, the sword light was already close to the speed of the Sword Qi Thunder. At this 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 splitting it open, the green sword light suddenly stopped. However, 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' swordsmanship and swordsmanship cultivation. Only by learning the true meaning of those cultivation 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 Intent. At this time, I would really be helpless. This is really the will of Heaven." 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 from the Deity Sword Villa, and I wouldn't have exploded my External Alchemy. I could've just forced the old man to break through, so it's not really the will of Heaven." In a flash, Shi Xuan rejected the idea of the will of Heaven.
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 of the cave.
Since he had judged that the test here was for the Heaven's Sword Sect disciples, and not for the cultivators above Jindan Stage, Shi Xuan was not too worried about the danger inside the cave. After all, the Heaven's Sword Sect would not play with the lives of their own disciples for no reason. It was just that, what exactly was down there, and why didn't the old man come out after he went in?
Cautiously, with these questions in mind, Shi Xuan walked into the cave under the protection of the Golden Bridge of the Other Shore, Misty Cloud Immortal Robe, and Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Cover.
…
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 Cultivators Alliance, asked Li Huaiyuan with concern. In fact, he was secretly happy. If Li Huaiyuan was really seriously injured, he would immediately make a windfall. In this Heavenly Cave, there was no law and natural morality. As long as he killed everyone and disappeared the trace, 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. Moreover, there was another low-level Jindan Stage Elder, Zhu Wangyan, next to him, so he could only have the upper hand. At most, he had a ten to twenty percent chance of defeating Li Huaiyuan. It was 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 bit of 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.
After hearing this, Zhu Wangyan's 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. He just has another identity." Li Huaiyuan stopped here and didn't continue.
Zhu Wangyan was a little confused. "Another identity? Villa Master Li, please tell us. The Alliance will definitely thank you. "Ji Wujiu also nodded.
Only then did Li Huaiyuan reveal a sincere smile. "I came here to tell you two. However, my Great Villa Master is busy and can't come. I can't do anything alone. I want to cooperate with you two. When the time comes, just give me a little of the benefits and I'll be satisfied."
Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan looked at each other. They hadn't even broken through the formation yet, so what's the harm in agreeing to his request? Even if they had to swear a Taoist heart oath, it would be fine. After all, it was just a little of the benefits. What to give him, and whether to take action after that, it was up to them. Moreover, with Li Huaiyuan, they wouldn't be afraid of the Luofu Sect and the other Wandering Cultivators Jindan Grandmaster working together. Thus, Ji Wujiu said, "With Villa Master Li's help, we couldn't ask for more."
After Li Huaiyuan made them swear 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 Immortal Yang Shen around.
Ji Wujiu's expression didn't look too good. Provoking Penglai for the sake of Xuan Yi Zhen's death didn't seem to be worth it. Although it was related to the Alliance's dignity, Penglai would take out his anger on Xing Zhao. Secondly, when he wanted to take revenge on Xing Zhao, he never thought that he was from one of 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 dignity was the Alliance's dignity. It wasn't worth it for them to take action against their own sect and bully the weak. Even if they used their toes to think that Penglai wouldn't let them go, it would be a joke with their own lives.
"This is the Heaven Sword Sect's grotto-heaven." Seeing Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan hesitating, Li Huaiyuan reminded them softly.
"If that's the case …" Ji Wujiu and Zhu Wangyan pondered. If they could really kill Shi Xuan and restore the Alliance's dignity, they might even be recognized by the Grand Supreme Elder and be protected by him for 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 this 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 have to take revenge." Li Huaiyuan added more weight.
"No more External Elixirs?" Ji Wujiu's eyes brightened. Even if Shi Xuan had mastered the Sword Light Differentiation Technique, in the eyes of Jindan Grandmaster, he was just an opponent that could be killed with a little bit of force. Without the strength of a Jindan, no matter how elusive he was, he 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 talismans. Once they find Shi Xuan, they will 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 matter of 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.
And the old sword man had reached the bottleneck of advancing to Jindan Stage, and he couldn't 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 walking 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.
