The giant Sun hung high in the sky, emitting an infinite amount of light.
The Godly Speed Boat sped through the air, heading north.
The boat was neither big nor small. Inside the boat, there were three individual rooms. Ling Xian was in one of them, deep in thought.
Just now, Si Tu Nan had told him about the Hidden Sword Peak. Then, he returned to his room and waited for the Immortal Boat to arrive at its destination.
"The Hidden Sword Peak …" Ling Xian frowned. Based on what Si Tu Nan said, this peak was the only neutral one out of the 12 peaks. It did not belong to any of the Wan Jian House's factions.
The population of the Hidden Sword Peak was small, and the peak leader often isolated himself. It was rare to see him. Therefore, the Hidden Sword Peak did not have any schemes or tricks. It was a place that suited people like him who had no interest in power and only wanted to pursue the Dao.
Therefore, Ling Xian was seriously considering whether or not he should join the Hidden Sword Peak. However, he had a feeling that things were not that simple. Where there are people, there are martial arts. Where there are martial arts, there are fights. Therefore, he could not completely trust Si Tu Nan's words.
"Oh well, it's still too early to think about this. I'll think about it when I arrive at the Wan Jian House." Ling Xian shook his head and closed his eyes. Like an old monk, he began to train.
Wisps of pure spiritual energy appeared in the air and surged into his body, washing through his internal organs and meridians.
He had broken through to the undefeatable realm of the meditational level and was only half a step away from the foundational level. However, this half step would take a long time to reach.
Of course, if Ling Xian was willing to consume the Foundational Dan, then he could easily break through to the foundational level within a day. However, he would not consume the Foundational Dan. Unless it was a perfect Foundational Dan without a single trace of poison, he would rely on his own hard work to slowly train and break through.
They would rather waste more time than consume a Foundational Dan. This was because any Dan, as long as it has not reached the tenth rank, would contain more or less toxins. These toxins would corrode the cultivator's natural talent. Most geniuses would not choose this method.
Ling Xian was the same. He could take medicinal Dans normally, but at this critical moment of breaking through to the next realm, he would not allow any poison to enter his body.
Time passed by little by little.
The sun set and the moon rose. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
The Immortal Speed Boat flew faster and faster, passing over mountains and rivers. After another day of flying, they would arrive at the Wan Jian House.
"Phew …"
Ling Xian abruptly opened his eyes. A flash of light flashed across his eyes. He slowly stood up, his black robe fluttering in the wind.
Clenching his fists tightly, Ling Xian felt the obvious increase in his spiritual energy. He frowned and muttered to himself, "I trained without rest for two days, yet my spiritual energy only increased by a little. If this continues, it will take me another half a year to break through to the foundational level."
If anyone else heard that he was not satisfied with his current cultivation speed, they would puke out blood from anger and curse at Ling Xian for not knowing how lucky he was.
Half a year!
Without taking any medicinal pills, it only took him half a year to break through from the tenth layer of Qi Refinement to the Foundation Building stage. This speed was already very fast. For cultivators, it was just the snap of a finger.
For most cultivators, if they want to break through to the foundational level with their own effort, it would take them at least a few decades.
"Luckily, Gong Suo Xin gave me an Exquisite Emerald Tree. With it, I should be able to shorten the time to four months." Ling Xian's lips curled up as he took out the Exquisite Emerald Tree from his storage pouch.
Instantly, the tree shone with a soft and bright light that lit up the entire room.
However, just as Ling Xian was about to summon the Exquisite Emerald Tree to train again, a wave of dizziness washed over him.
Booom!
After an earth-shattering rumble, the Immortal Speed Boat shook violently like a bird with broken wings. It was shaking uncontrollably, as if it could fall at any moment.
"Hahaha, Si Tu Nan, I finally caught you alone."
A burst of laughter echoed through the clouds. Ling Xian frowned and quickly ran to the deck. In the sky, two silhouettes faced each other, exuding a terrifying amount of energy.
One of them was Si Tu Nan. His face was dark as he floated in midair. Staring at the silhouettes across from him, a wave of energy poured out of him.
One of them was also an old man. He had white hair and a ruddy complexion. His face was deathly pale, and he wore a bright red robe. He exuded a trace of evil aura, and with a single glance, it was obvious that he cultivated a demonic cultivation technique.
"Red Robed Freak, you sure are haunting me." Si Tu Nan was murderous.
"Haha, Si Tu Nan, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you would hide in the Wan Jian House for the rest of your life. I didn't think you would personally carry out a mission for the House. What a great opportunity." The Red Robed Elder snickered as his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
He and Si Tu Nan have been enemies for a long time. He has always wanted to find an opportunity to kill him. However, Si Tu Nan was the Patriarch of the Wan Jian House. His position was high and he had a strong backing. The Red Robed Elder was a nomadic cultivator with no background. Therefore, he never found an opportunity.
This time, he accidentally learned that Si Tu Nan had left the Wan Jian House. Therefore, he chased after him and finally found Si Tu Nan in the wilderness.
"What happened back then, I gave you a chance. Sadly, you did not repent and continued to make mistakes. Since I have run into you today, I will personally end your life, you traitor!" Si Tu Nan stared at the Red Robed Elder. The coldness in his eyes intensified.
At the mention of what happened back then, the Red Robed Elder was infuriated. He snickered, "You dare to bring up what happened back then? The House was unfair. What wrong did I do to betray the House? "
"We have different standpoints and different viewpoints. There is no point in talking. Let's fight." Si Tu Nan shook his head, feeling too lazy to waste any more time.
"That's right. What's the point of talking so much? What happened back then, who was right and who was wrong is no longer important. What's important is that I am living a good life. I am living a free life. You, on the other hand, are about to die." The Red Robed Elder's eyes turned cold as spiritual energy poured out of him.
"It's been 20 years. I sure want to see how strong you are. However, before we even fight, you are already certain that I will die. You are still as arrogant as ever."
Si Tu Nan rolled up his sleeves, and the wind howled!
Waves of coldness filled the air and quickly materialized into an ice spear. Like a rainbow piercing through the sky, it tore through the void!
"It's been 20 years, and your ice spiritual energy has improved quite a bit." The Red Robed Elder's eyes froze, but he was fearless. He formed a hand seal, and immediately, thunderclouds filled the sky and lightning danced!
The Sea of Thunder roared and lightning flashed. Like a snake, it coiled around his head. When the ice spear arrived before his eyes, a thick thunderbolt struck down!
Boom, boom, boom!
Bolts of lightning struck down, and the ice spear disappeared like smoke.
The Red Robed Elder stepped forward and reappeared before Si Tu Nan. His right arm, which was surrounded by thunderbolts, slammed forward!
"Si Tu Nan, it's been 20 years. You are not the only one who has improved. As a gift for our reunion, eat my Thunderbolt Fist!"
The wind from his fist howled, and the energy from his fist filled the air. Streaks of lightning danced in all directions, and even the air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
"As expected, your lightning techniques have become stronger as well. However, you are still no match for me with just lightning techniques." Si Tu Nan hissed. He extended his arms and drew a Tai Chi symbol in the air. Immediately, a black hole appeared in midair, and an irresistible force of attraction poured out!
Void Attraction!
One of the great techniques of the Wan Jian House!
An extremely powerful force of attraction expanded. Seeing that his fist was about to be sucked into the black hole, the Red Robed Elder's expression changed. He raised his head up and roared!
ROAR!
The long roar shook the entire area and echoed throughout the sky. Invisible sound waves rippled across the area, and the dust within a hundred miles of where the two were standing began to fly. Everything that was tangible was shattered by this terrifying roar!
The Lion's Roar!
The secret technique of the Lei Yin Temple!
Si Tu Nan's expression changed. He used the Ground Shrink technique and instantly retreated for hundreds of miles. Staring at the Red Robed Elder, he said, "I cannot believe you secretly learned the Leiyin Temple's Lion's Roar."
"You aren't bad yourself. You are the descendant of the Hidden Sword Peak, yet you are using the technique of the Godly Sword Peak. It seems like you have been doing well in the House." The Red Robed Elder smiled darkly. A long black sword appeared in his left hand out of thin air. Slowly, the Red Robed Elder twirled the sword in the air. He looked at Si Tu Nan with disdain and teased, "I wonder, do you recognize this sword?"
Immediately, Si Tu Nan's expression darkened. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"One of the Seven Swords of the Hidden Sword Peak, Slayer."
"Hahaha, that's right. This is the sword I stole back then. Twenty years have passed. You didn't think you would see it again, did you?" The Red Robed Elder laughed into the sky. As he laughed, tears rolled down his cheeks. It wasn't clear if it was because he was crying out of joy, or because he was remembering the past, but his heart ached.
"Are you planning on humiliating me by taking out this sword?" Si Tu Nan's face flushed red as he stared at the Red Robed Elder who was laughing nonstop. He was truly angered.
That incident also left him with unforgettable pain. Therefore, when he saw the Sword of Condemnation, one of the Seven Swords of the Mountain, he was enraged. His hair stood on end and he vowed to kill the person before him.
"That's right. I can't wait to see the expression on your face when this sword pierces your heart." The Red Robed Elder stopped laughing and pointed his black sword at Si Tu Nan. His murderous intent locked onto Si Tu Nan.
"The Slayer is a sword of justice. In your hands, you have tarnished its purity." Si Tu Nan's expression was cold. An earth-shattering amount of Qi poured out of him and shattered the clouds in the sky.
"Justice? Is there justice in this world? " The Red Robed Elder's face was full of sarcasm. In a flash, he reappeared before Si Tu Nan and slashed down with his sword.
"It doesn't matter if it is a sword of justice or a sword of evil. In my hands, it is the sword that kills you!"
A speck of cold light flashed and revealed his killer's intent. The Slayer slashed out an eternal ray of light that tore through the sky. Like a heavenly sword, it was incomparably sharp and unstoppable!
Si Tu Nan's pupils shrunk. A cyan shield that was as heavy as a mountain appeared in front of him and blocked the sharp sword strike!
However, the Slayer was one of the seven strongest swords of the Hidden Sword Peak after all. This was merely the first exchange of blows, yet his sixth-realm defensive treasure had a crack on it!
"Haha, this shield of yours is not bad. Sadly, it cannot defend against the Slayer." The Red Robed Elder laughed. Manipulating his spiritual energy, he used his sword as an axe and slashed down again!
Like a falling mountain or a falling meteor, the Slayer was unstoppable!
