Chapter 13: Formless Sword

013 Formless Sword

"Not appropriate!"

Xun Yuan immediately shook his head in opposition.

"Liu Xuan is a disciple of the Demon Talisman Sect's inner sect. If he finds out about this, do we have any share in the Gold Core legacy treasure?!"

Qian Yufeng chuckled, "This matter has nothing to do with the Gold Core legacy treasure. We only seek his help in deducing the whereabouts of the murderer who killed Dragon Fellow Daoist's sister."

Long Yanzhi's eyes lit up, "I wonder if Liu Xuan is willing to help, and what would be the price?"

"A few years ago, Liu Xuan asked me to refine a furnace of Qianlei Pill for him, owing me a favor."

Qian Yufeng said.

Long Yanzhi clapped his hands and exclaimed, "In that case, if we obtain the Gold Core legacy treasure this time, Qian Fellow Daoist should have the first pick."

Qian Yufeng immediately declined, "Long Fellow Daoist is too polite. Since you are leading this matter, you should have the first pick!"

After some back and forth, the five of them decided that Long Yanzhi would have the first pick. The remaining four would be the second choice, depending on who found the whereabouts of the Bamboo Mountain Five Friends first.

In the end, Qian Yufeng expressed his concern, "The Bamboo Mountain Five Friends are all cultivators at the Dao Foundation Late Stage, with a well-known reputation. Although we five are not weak, the outcome is uncertain!"

Among the five, he was the only one not skilled in combat, and he was the most worried about it.

Long Yanzhi said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry. I have brought a Rank One Law Treasure with me this time. When the time comes, you all just need to stop them, and I will personally kill them one by one."

His tone not only carried confidence but also a strong killing intent.

Xun Yuan and Qian Yufeng felt a bright light behind them, remembering the terror of Long Yanzhi.

Although he was an Independent Cultivator, his inheritance was extraordinary. He was skilled in killing and combat, having beheaded a Late Stage expert in the early stage of the Dao Foundation realm!

Now, Long Yanzhi's cultivation had reached the perfection of the Dao Foundation realm, his aura was round and unobstructed, seemingly no different from an ordinary person. However, every move he made contained profound meaning, indicating that he had already begun to touch the Gold Core Great Dao.

The others couldn't help but think, if this operation went smoothly, would Long Yanzhi be able to break through to the Gold Core realm with the help of the Gold Core cultivator's legacy treasure?

Perhaps, in the Eastern Sea Independent Cultivator world, there would be another Gold Core Grandmaster!

...

Dragon Scale Island.

Pang Yue's figure flashed and landed in the courtyard paved with blue stones.

Looking at the Dragon-Scale Fruit that was becoming more and more mature, he secretly thought, "It seems that the Bamboo Mountain Five Friends have attracted someone's attention. I should temporarily not go to see that Gold Core Cave Mansion. I'll wait until I refine the Formless Sword."

Then he went back to his room to cultivate and refine the sword.

...

Outside the Demon Talisman Sect's teleportation hall on the open sea.

Inside a side hall.

Wearing the robe of an inner sect disciple, Liu Xuan had a tired and bored expression as he chatted with Qian Yufeng and Long Yanzhi.

Ten years, another ten years.

Liu Xuan, as a disciple of the Thunder Demon Hall's inner sect, should have been carefree in the Eastern Sea cultivation world. However, unexpectedly, his master brought him to the open sea, and he had been here for more than thirty years.

Currently, it has been almost forty years!

Having been stationed at the Transmission Hall for a long time, Liu Xuantong's heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife as he watched the monks coming and going.

Other cultivators stationed at the Transmission Hall in the open sea might encounter a beast tide or an attack by Monster Cultivators from time to time.

But he knew in his heart that it would never happen here!

Because his master, Huang Perfected Being, was refining treasures on a nearby volcanic island, and the aura of his Gold Core cultivation enveloped a radius of thousands of miles. Which foolish Monster Cultivator would dare to come?

Qian Yufeng came to him for help, and Liu Xuantong agreed without hesitation to repay a favor.

He took out a jade bowl, and within the bowl, there seemed to be endless clouds and mist, with ten Spirit Partitioning auras.

Liu Xuantong pointed at the jade bowl and said to Long Yanzhi, "I need a drop of your essence blood."

Long Yanzhi followed his instructions, flicking his finger and forcing out a drop of essence blood, which fell into the bowl.

Liu Xuantong nodded, his hands quickly changing hand seals, occasionally sending strands of spiritual light into the bowl.

The clouds and mist in the jade bowl churned madly, and faint strange sounds could be heard, creating a great commotion that filled the entire side hall.

"Decree!"

Liu Xuantong lightly tapped, and the clouds and mist in the jade bowl immediately rose and burst, instantly filling the entire side hall!

Within the clouds and mist, it seemed as if cultivators were flying and shadows were flickering, and it seemed as if spiritual light was soaring into the sky, overturning the heavens and the earth.

Qian Yufeng and Long Yanzhi, who were in the midst of it, watched in confusion but were greatly shocked.

After a while, the clouds and mist receded into the jade bowl.

The three of them regained clarity before their eyes.

Long Yanzhi looked at Liu Xuantong with expectant eyes.

"Um..."

Liu Xuantong glanced at Long Yanzhi and said, "My cultivation is limited, so I only got a rough idea just now."

Long Yanzhi stood up and bowed, pleading, "Please, Fellow Daoist, tell us!"

Liu Xuantong calmly said:

"Firstly, the person who killed your sister possesses a unique treasure that can shield divination. When I was deducing its location just now, I calculated tens of thousands of true and false positions, making it difficult to discern the truth."

"However, it seems that this person triggered a hidden move after a year of cultivating his Gold Core, causing a disturbance in the heavens and earth. The spiritual energy of the heavens and earth gathered, and the treasure on his body could no longer be concealed. That's why I was able to deduce some clues."

"In the southeast direction of this place, about five thousand and eight hundred miles away, there will be a gathering of spiritual energy of the heavens and earth and the emergence of the treasure after a year. You can go there in advance and maybe find that person."

"This..."

Long Yanzhi and Qian Yufeng looked at each other and finally said in unison, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Liu."

Qian Yufeng praised, "Fellow Daoist's divine ability is truly unfathomable and extraordinary! Today, we have truly broadened our horizons!"

Liu Xuantong sighed deeply, looking up at the sky. "I possess great abilities, but alas, I cannot be free!"

...

Drizzling rain fell from the sky, shrouding the blue stone slabs in the courtyard in a misty haze.

Under the eaves, a small red clay stove was burning brightly. On top of the stove was a copper basin, in which a boiling hot and spicy soup was bubbling, filling the air with its fragrance.

Pang Yue held long chopsticks and dipped various thin slices of meat from overseas Demonic Beasts into the hot pot.

However, he was reminded of the hot pot from his previous life and savored the rich and spicy flavor alone in this autumn rain.

Beside him was a piece of beast meat, and thin slices of meat were "automatically" sliding off it, then picked up by Pang Yue and dipped into the pot.

It was as if there was an invisible knife cutting the meat for Pang Yue!

The famous Formless Sword from the previous life's game, unexpectedly made its first appearance in this world as a tool for cutting meat!

Formless Sword.

Invisible and intangible, unparalleled sharpness!

It was the first treasure of killing and cutting among Pang Yue's nine Law Treasures from his previous life.

After a year of effort, Pang Yue finally refined it. Although it only had six forbidden seals, it still gave Pang Yue a great sense of relief.

With this sword, he truly had the confidence to stand in the world of cultivation.

As for the remaining two flying swords, Butterfly Loves Flower and Flame Demon Slashes Immortal Sword, they could only serve as tools to conceal the Formless Sword in the future.

The meat of the Demonic Beasts was no worse than the beef and mutton from the previous life, but rather more delicious. Additionally, the beast meat was rich in spiritual energy, nourishing the body, and often used as a spiritual meal for cultivators.

Pang Yue enjoyed the meal, while planning to visit the Cave Mansion of the Gold Core ancient cultivator before returning to the Demon Talisman Sect.

...

On the vast sea, fine rain fell like silk.

The sky was gloomy, howling against the wind, and the muddy waves surged.

Five figures with flickering spiritual lights floated between the sea and the sky.

Surprisingly, it was the group of five led by Long Yanzi.

Over the past year, they had searched every inch of this sea area and the seabed, but still couldn't find any trace.

When they went to find Liu Xuandong, they only received an answer that the time had not come.

If it weren't for Liu Xuandong's extraordinary background, the five of them would have regarded his calculations as a joke.

Seeing that the one-year deadline was approaching, they came here in advance, waiting for the appearance of the changes in heaven and earth.

...

In the sea, a Formless Sword aura quietly shuttled through, moving at an astonishing speed.

Wherever the sword aura passed, a faint water mark lingered for a long time.

In the deep sea.

A giant whale measuring hundreds of feet long swam slowly, emitting a strong and vast demonic power, making the surroundings clean without any fish or sea monsters.

Although this giant whale had a cultivation level of Dao Foundation Late Stage, its majestic demonic power was comparable to hundreds of human cultivators at the Dao Foundation stage.

The extraordinary talent of Demonic Beasts lay in this.

However, it would be much more difficult for this Demonic Beast to cultivate into a Gold Core Great Monster.

Suddenly.

In the eyes of the giant whale, there was a look of shock, confusion, and fear.

Suddenly, its massive body split in half from the middle, slowly separating!

Without any warning, without any trace!

A generation of giant monsters fell here.

Even in death, the giant whale did not understand who made the move.

Nor how it was done.

Its own powerful demonic energy condensed into a protective aura, even if a Supreme Grade Law Weapon attacked, it would take hundreds of strikes to break through!

What could have silently cut it in half?

With various questions, the soul of the giant whale fell into the netherworld.

In the depths of the sea, Pang Yue appeared out of thin air, using his mana to wrap around the Beast Core the size of a house, nodding in satisfaction.

"With such a large size, I can refine many Heavenly Dust Pills!"

He satisfactorily put away the Heavenly Dust Pills into his storage bag, then scanned the surroundings.

According to the travelogue, the Gold Core cultivator's Cave Mansion is located here!

But at this moment, besides the muddy sand and rocks, the deep and secluded ravines, and various strange and grotesque seaweeds, there were no traces of a Cave Mansion!

Pang Yue's body emitted a golden light, resisting the pressure of the deep sea as he searched back and forth.

According to the records, that Gold Core ancient cultivator's Cave Mansion was a huge piece of bluestone!

The Cave Mansion was within the bluestone.

Pang Yue searched for a long time, suddenly had a thought in his mind, his figure flickered, and he arrived at the corpse of the giant whale that he had just killed.

After searching for a while, he indeed found a huge bluestone about five zhang high, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, inside the belly of the giant whale.

In his previous life, such a huge stone could be compared to a five-story building, but now it was swallowed by the giant whale.

On the bluestone were written four ancient characters - "Primordial Yang Essence Hall".

Behind the bluestone, there was another inscription. After Pang Yue read it, he understood why the person who wrote the travelogue knew that this was the Cave Mansion of an ancient Gold Core cultivator.

Inscription: "Since childhood, I had exceptional talent. I cultivated at the age of six, had a breakthrough in seven days, entered the Qi Nourishing Realm in three months, entered the Dao Foundation at thirteen years old, and later became a true disciple of the Primordial Yang Sect. At fifty years old, I formed my Core, and my pill reached the First Grade, laughing proudly among my peers.

But the path to immortality is long and full of obstacles. Throughout my life, I fought against Demonic Cultivators, evil cultivators, Monster Cultivators, and Heavenly Demons. I have killed countless enemies, undefeated and invincible, but in the end, I could not escape a calamity.

When the Heavenly Demons broke through the barrier, the sect was destroyed. I was fortunate enough to escape and flee to the deep sea, but my life is not long. I will sit in meditation here.

In the future, those who are destined will see this Essence Hall and can break the prohibition to enter. Inside, there is our sect's inheritance. I hope you will carry it forward and make it flourish."

After reading it, Pang Yue couldn't help but feel emotional.

The breaking of the Heavenly Demon barrier... that seems to have happened tens of thousands of years ago.

Now, in the Eastern Sea, besides the Heavenly Demon Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, and Tianchan Sect, which have Primordial Spirit experts, the histories of other sects are not so ancient.

The Demon Talisman Sect has a history of only seventy thousand years!
