Zhao Tianyang looked at the misty sword embryo that broke through the air. Even though he was in the Nascent Soul stage, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. "This, this is …"
Without waiting for Zhao Tianyang to be surprised, Lu Xiaotian directly kept Zhao Tianyang's Nascent Soul. After killing Zhao Tianyang and activating the Blood Cauldron Demon Refining Formation, the few Nascent Souls in his hand were all used up. It wasn't easy to obtain a Nascent Soul like Zhao Tianyang. Naturally, he couldn't let the misty sword embryo destroy it casually.
At the same time that he kept Zhao Tianyang's Nascent Soul, Lu Xiaotian quickly released the sword intent in his body. Seeing the misty sword embryo approaching, he was extremely nervous. The misty sword embryo left behind by the Misty Sovereign was too powerful. It had already exceeded the limit that a Nascent Soul cultivator could reach. Moreover, he had already fought with Zhao Tianyang and his strength had been greatly reduced. After all, the misty sword embryo didn't belong to him and couldn't be judged by common sense. His life and death were controlled by external forces. Lu Xiaotian naturally didn't feel good in his heart.
However, the moment Lu Xiaotian released the sword intent from his body, Lu Xiaotian felt a trace of friendliness from the misty sword embryo. The sword embryo left behind by the Misty Sovereign actually circled around him.
Lu Xiaotian heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the crisis had passed for the time being. At this moment, even if Xiao Jinlei and Old Monster Meng Shan came in, they would definitely not be able to get away with it.
The misty sword embryo circled around him again and again. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but be puzzled. He didn't know what the sword embryo left behind by the Misty Sovereign meant. However, at this moment, Lu Xiaotian suddenly felt that the eight flying swords in his body were about to come out at any moment.
"Could it be that he wants me to release the flying swords?" Such a thought flashed through Lu Xiaotian's mind. As the misty sword embryo spun faster and faster, Lu Xiaotian was still guessing. The sword intent in his body had become more and more difficult to control.
Lu Xiaotian simply stopped suppressing the sword intent that was about to burst out from his body. Zhao Tianyang's divine sense moved and eight flying swords flew out. One of them had a clear cut on it, which was caused by Zhao Tianyang's Whalebone Sword.
This time, without waiting for Lu Xiaotian to control it, the eight flying swords spontaneously merged into one in the air, forming a sword embryo that was wrapped in a transparent light shield. The sword embryo left behind by Misty Lord was one size bigger than Lu Xiaotian's sword embryo. After seeing Lu Xiaotian's sword embryo, Ethereal Venerable's sword embryo let out a joyful cry. Lu Xiaotian was slightly surprised. The two Sword Embryos were actually playing around in the air. Lu Xiaotian didn't need to control it at all.
"I wonder what it was that fought with the Misty Sword Embryo." Lu Xiaotian's eyes flickered. At this moment, a sharp pain erupted from his body. It was the True Intent of Metal that Zhao Tianyang had left in his body. Although it was sealed in a relatively small area by the Brahma Truefire, the True Intent of Metal was still there. However, the destruction of his body was still ongoing.
Since he had already gotten rid of Zhao Tianyang, he had to make the best use of his time to recover.
Previously, he had to flee all the way and didn't have time to deal with it. Now, it was rare for him to have time to calm down. Although it wasn't as good as when he was in Xiangdu, with the sword embryo left behind by Ethereal Venerable, he wouldn't be invaded for a while.
Lu Xiaotian calmed down and started to heal the injuries in his body. The Brahma Truefire could cancel out Zhao Tianyang's True Intent of Metal. However, the process of canceling out the True Intent of Metal had extremely strict requirements. If the Brahma Truefire in his body surged out, it would be able to extinguish the True Intent of Metal. However, Lu Xiaotian's body definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the crazy counterattack of the True Intent of Metal.
"Oh right, I should ask Long Shi for a better answer." With a thought, Lu Xiaotian's primordial spirit entered the Shifting Mirror and raised the question to Long Shi.
"Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements, each have their own techniques. Low level cultivators cultivate their techniques, high level cultivators obtain their techniques. Get rid of the impurities, retain the essence, and cultivate the truth. I'm not a cultivator of this path, but I've fought with such experts before. I can share some of my understanding with you. "
After Long Shi pondered for a moment, he told Lu Xiaotian his understanding of metal-type cultivators from beginning to end. Long Shi didn't want to say anything more to Lu Xiaotian. He only said that his realm wasn't there yet and let Lu Xiaotian comprehend it himself.
Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly and retreated from the Shifting Mirror. According to Long Shi's description, the metal-type enemies that Long Shi faced in the past were obviously mainly defensive. However, the True Intent of Metal cultivated by Zhao Tianyang was incomparably sharp.
"Could it be that the so-called True Intent of the Five Elements is just a general term? In fact, it's like a thousand flowers blooming, each representing a branch?" Lu Xiaotian stroked his chin. He obtained a specious answer from Long Shi. After going around in a circle, he still had to rely on himself. Of course, it wasn't that he didn't gain anything. At least, Long Shi reminded him to try his best to comprehend the other party while eliminating the True Intent of Metal in his body. Who knows, he might have other gains in the future.
The two ethereal sword embryos, one big and one small, were sometimes far and sometimes close in the sky. Sometimes, they would disappear without a trace. Lu Xiaotian didn't care. Right now, he didn't have much energy to take care of the sword embryos. He calmed his mind and used multiple primordial spirits to mobilize the True Fire of Nirvana in his body, using the Moon Water Devil Tofu method to continuously eliminate the remaining True Intent of Metal in his body.
"Brother Xiao, it seems that things are troublesome." When Lu Xiaotian killed Zhao Tianyang and stayed in the Misty Hall to recuperate, the group of great cultivators at the bottom of the Innocuous Lake were already waiting anxiously. Old Monster Meng Shan rubbed his hands and walked back and forth, impatiently looking at Xiao Jinlei who was several zhang away.
"How could I not know?" Xiao Jinlei replied snappily, but there was no better way than waiting. At this moment, the teleportation array had already stopped. If they wanted to activate the teleportation array again, they had to take out a few Resurrection Lily Leaves. Other than Xiaotian who had collected this item before, where could they get such a strange item in such a short time? Even if they did, who would dare to go in? Previously, Lu Xiaotian had already been chased and beaten by that old man Zhao Tianyang. He had traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and escaped into the secret realm through the teleportation array.
Now that Zhao Tianyang had not returned, there were only two possibilities. One was that Zhao Tianyang had already succeeded, but he didn't want them to be the oriole behind him and escape with the treasure. He didn't plan to leave the teleportation array. Under such circumstances, even if they wanted to find Zhao Tianyang, they might not be able to find him. The other possibility was that Zhao Tianyang had already fallen in the secret realm like those Nascent Soul cultivators more than a hundred years ago. Under such circumstances, they didn't dare to rashly enter.
And Xiao Jinlei, Old Monster Meng Shan, and even Yuan Tianfang most likely thought that it was the latter. When Lu Xiaotian first appeared in the Innocuous Lake of the Scarlet Abyss Continent, he was only at the early stage of Jin Dan. Most likely, he came from this secret realm. Later, he was chased by a late stage Ghost King and escaped into the secret realm. Those who entered the secret realm with him were either killed or injured.
