"You're right!"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao was taken aback for a moment before nodding.
The First Elder was right. All he had to do was ask the two elders if they were in disguise.
There was no reason for him to hide anything.
With this thought in mind, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao took out the Ethereal Token that only Pavilion Master Kui Xiao could wield and infused his consciousness into it.
Standing in the room, Zhang Xuan shook a unique device, and a moment later, Han Jianqiu and Hall Master Qin Yuan appeared before him.
"Pavilion Master Kui, may I know why you have summoned us?"
Qin Yuan asked with a wave of his hand.
"May I know if the two of you recognize this person?"
With a tap of his finger, an illusory figure appeared before them. It was none other than Zhang Xuan in disguise.
"I don't know him." The two of them shook their heads.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He turned to Han Jianqiu and asked, "Brother Han, may I know if your new sect leader, Zhang Xuan, is in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion at the moment?"
"Why does Sect Master Kui say that?"
Han Jianqiu asked with a frown. "My sect leader is currently cultivating the Ascendant Cloud Sword God Formula, and he'll be making a breakthrough soon. Naturally, he's in the sect. Where else could he be?"
The news that their sect leader was not in the sect could not be leaked, or else the Hall of Gods would come after them.
Before the Azure Bridge opened, they could not afford to make a single mistake that could put their sect leader in danger.
"I'm just asking," Pavilion Master Kui Xiao replied calmly. He turned to Qin Yuan and asked, "Brother Qin, may I know if Sect Leader Zheng Yang is in the sect at the moment?"
"Of course!" Qin Yuan replied. "Our sect leader has just tamed the Serpentine Dragon and the other beasts, so it goes without saying that he's trying to find a way to coordinate with them. Do you think that I'm lying to you, Pavilion Master Kui?"
"That's not what I meant."
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao shook his head bitterly.
After confirming that the two sect leaders were currently in seclusion in their respective sects, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao left the Ethereal Hall with a satisfied look on his face. Returning to his room, he muttered, "Sect Leader Zhang Xuan and Sect Leader Zheng Yang are both in their sects. Perhaps, Liu Yang really is an unaffiliated cultivator …"
I don't believe that there's a person who is able to comprehend the Gods' Sword Intent and master beast taming techniques with just a single glance! "the First Elder said with a deep voice." I don't believe that there's a person who can comprehend the Gods' Sword Intent and master beast taming techniques as well! "
The strongest people in the world were talents, not all-rounders.
He did not believe that a person could be proficient in swordsmanship, beast taming, and martial techniques.
If that was really the case, this person would have been famous all over the world, and not just heard of.
"As long as it's not those two, Liu Yang is worthy of being groomed as much as we can," Pavilion Master Kui Xiao said with a smile that was filled with fighting spirit.
Previously, when he heard that there was someone in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion who had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Who would have thought that the Heavens would be so kind to him, sending such a super genius at such a crucial moment!
On top of that, the other party had mastered more than twenty top-notch battle techniques of the sect … Once he achieved a breakthrough, who in the world would be able to stop him?
Even Sect Leader Zhang Xuan, who had comprehended the Gods' Sword Intent, might not be a match for him!
…
Exhaling deeply, Zhang Xuan began making his way out of the room.
While the books in the Seven Star Pavilion did not allow him to make any significant breakthroughs in his cultivation, it had given him a deeper understanding of battle techniques and combat, thus raising his fighting prowess to a whole new level.
This was especially so for the twenty battle techniques that he had comprehended. While they were still lacking compared to the Gods' Sword Intent, he was still able to wield them all.
"Elder Liu, Pavilion Master Kui wishes to see you!"
As soon as Zhang Xuan walked out of the room, the First Elder immediately walked up to him.
Zhang Xuan followed behind him.
"Elder Liu, you have spent an entire night reading books. May I know if you have any new insights? Do you need any help in achieving a breakthrough to the High Immortal realm?"
Upon entering the hall, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile on his face.
"My zhenqi cultivation and physical body aren't facing any bottlenecks at the moment. It's just that my soul is still a little lacking …"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment.
If he could push his soul cultivation to the True Immortal realm, even without the High Immortal realm Heaven's Path Divine Art, it should not be too difficult for him to achieve a breakthrough with the help of pills.
However, it was a pity that while the Seven Star Pavilion had collected quite a few soul cultivation techniques, they were still insufficient to form the Heaven's Path Divine Art.
"You are still lacking in the soul cultivation technique?"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao nodded in realization.
It was no wonder why Zhang Xuan refused to consume the pills he had in his possession. In the end, it was all because he felt that his soul was a little lacking.
"It's indeed not easy for you to advance your soul cultivation, but the treasure of our Seven Star Pavilion, the Seven Star Immortal Herb, is extremely effective in enhancing one's soul. Why don't I bring you over to give it a try?"
"The Seven Star Immortal Herb?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He had read many books, but there was no record of it.
"The Seven Star Immortal Herb is the treasure of our Seven Star Pavilion. The reason why we've been able to stand as one of the Six Sects for the past several thousand years is due to the luck of the Seven Star Pavilion.
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao remarked.
The Seven Star Immortal Herb could absorb the energy of the Seven Star in the sky, and when paired with the sect's formation, it could emanate a calming aura. It was for this reason that even though the Seven Star Pavilion was located in the center of the bustling Biyuan City, it still felt like one was far away from the world.
This was the reason why its disciples could cultivate peacefully without being tainted by the mundane world, allowing them to stand toe to toe with the Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect and the other sects.
"I'll be troubling you then, Pavilion Master Kui."
Zhang Xuan bowed deeply.
He had already noticed that someone was spying on him when he was browsing through the books in the library, so he intentionally executed his battle technique at the slowest speed possible.
In other words, he was imparting the moves that he had comprehended to the other party.
He was repaying the other party for the Seven Star Pavilion's kindness.
"As an elder of the Seven Star Pavilion, I have the opportunity to cultivate as well …"
Pavilion Master Kui Xiao nodded before leading the way. Soon, they arrived at the location corresponding to the North Star of the Seven Star Pavilion.
It was a spacious courtyard. After breaking the seal, a seven-colored immortal herb appeared before Zhang Xuan's eyes.
There were seven leaves in total, and each of them glowed with a different color. Under the gentle breeze, ripples appeared in the space around them.
The immortal herb had actually reached Heavenly High Immortal realm!
"It's indeed beneficial to one's soul!"
Zhang Xuan walked up to the immortal herb, and his eyes lit up.
It had only been a few breaths since he entered the courtyard, but his soul, which had been stuck at Heavenly Pseudo Immortal realm, suddenly felt an urge to make a breakthrough.
As expected of the treasure of the Seven Star Pavilion, it was indeed extraordinary.
"This is the Seven Star Immortal Herb," Pavilion Master Kui Xiao explained. "Most of the elders who have reached Heavenly True Immortal realm will choose to make a breakthrough here. Under the protection of the immortal herb, they will be immune to inner demons, and their soul energy will be more perfect, making it much easier for them to make a breakthrough!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
This immortal herb was similar to the Bodhi Saint Tree on the Master Teacher Continent. It was extremely beneficial to one's soul. Even without the True Immortal realm Heaven's Path Divine Art, it should not be too difficult for one to make a breakthrough to the True Immortal realm.
"There's still two hours before daybreak, so you should cultivate here. We'll set off for the Sea of Exiled Stars at dawn."
After explaining a little more, Pavilion Master Kui Xiao turned around and left.
After Pavilion Master Kui Xiao left the courtyard, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and took out a few formation flags.
He flicked them lightly.
Weng!
A brilliant light flickered in the surroundings, completely isolating his aura.
Naturally, he had obtained these formation flags from Elder Liao of the Myriad Beasts Hall. The latter was an expert in setting up formations, so he had a lot of them.
Zhang Xuan sat down and drew his soul out from his glabella.
Gugugugu!
Driving his zhenqi, the energy nourishing his soul immediately surged toward his soul.
A moment later, a frown appeared on his forehead.
There was a lot of energy nourishing his soul in the air, similar to the lake in the Miryu Empire. Under normal circumstances, as long as his soul entered the lake, his soul would gradually grow stronger.
However, for some reason, when he drew his soul out and drove his cultivation technique, he found that he was unable to utilize the energy he had absorbed.
Opening his eyes to take a look at the immortal herb, he saw that it was swaying nonstop. The energy nourishing his soul was nowhere to be found.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Xuan's face darkened.
Clearly, the Seven Star immortal herb was up to no good.
Hu!
Returning his soul back into his body, Zhang Xuan was just about to walk over to take a look when he suddenly felt a slight disturbance in the spiritual energy in the air. The familiar aura from before had returned.
It was still the same energy nourishing his soul.
Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Xuan drew his soul out from his glabella once more. However, just as he was about to absorb the energy nourishing his soul, he realized that he was unable to absorb it.
Thus, his soul returned to his body and transformed once more.
"It's indeed that fellow's doing …"
Taking a closer look, Zhang Xuan confirmed that it was indeed that fellow who was up to no good. A deep frown formed on his forehead.
Since he did not have the True Immortal Soul Art yet, he would need a large amount of soul nourishing energy to cleanse his soul and purify it. Only then would he be able to achieve a breakthrough.
He had thought that given how powerful the energy emanating from the immortal herb was, he would surely be able to achieve a breakthrough.
Yet, it was as if the other party was intentionally playing hide-and-seek with him. As soon as his soul entered his body, it would dissipate, leaving him unable to cultivate at all.
If his soul remained within his body, not only would it slow down his rate of cultivation, it would also hinder his cultivation.
"I'm afraid that Pavilion Master Kui Xiao isn't speaking the truth. This Seven Star immortal herb isn't just nourishing my soul …"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly. Instead of rushing into his cultivation, he walked over to the immortal herb.
He discreetly stretched his finger forward, wanting to touch the immortal herb to determine its attributes and unique traits. However, the immortal herb abruptly disappeared from his sight, reappearing several dozen meters away.
"Hmm?"
Not expecting the immortal herb to be able to move on its own, Zhang Xuan was taken aback. He walked up to the immortal herb and stretched out his hand.
Hu!
The immortal herb darted to the other side, refusing to let Zhang Xuan touch it at all.
"Interesting …"
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
A Heavenly High Immortal-tier plant was indeed not as simple as he thought.
"Let's see where you can run to!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xuan confirmed the direction he was heading in. Just as he was about to dash forward to grab the immortal herb, his vision suddenly blurred. The immortal herb's seven-colored leaves abruptly grew in size, and like vines, it wrapped itself around his wrists and ankles in an instant.
Hula!
Zhang Xuan found himself hanging upside down in midair.
