Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 258: The Sword Scripture of Wind and Cloud

"Please use the Shenxiao Order to leave your seal and signature for the 500,000 Good Deeds."

The steward of the Good Deeds Academy was extremely respectful and polite. Compared to last time, he showed even more deference.

It was extremely rare for a Foundation Building cultivator to kill a Gold Core demonic cultivator. At least in the steward's nearly hundred years of life, it was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

It was rumored in the sect that Gao Xian was destined to reach the Third Grade Gold Core, and even the Fourth Grade was not impossible.

The Shenxiao True Transmission was the Shenxiao True Transmission, and a Gold Core level Shenxiao True Transmission was the backbone of the sect. If nothing unexpected happened, it would hold immense power for several hundred years.

Such a figure was not someone he could provoke. The power struggles among the upper echelons were their business, and it was not his place as a small figure to act as a villain.

After successfully receiving the 500,000 Good Deeds, Yun Qingxuan took Gao Xian to the Support Department to claim the reward of fifty high-grade spirit stones.

Actually, the 500,000 Good Deeds were more valuable than fifty high-grade spirit stones. The problem was that Good Deeds couldn't be seen or touched, but holding fifty large red high-grade spirit stones in his hand felt incredibly satisfying.

Gao Xian calculated that with the twenty high-grade spirit stones he obtained from the old demon, he now had a total of one hundred and sixty high-grade spirit stones.

Converted into low-grade spirit stones, that was one million six hundred thousand, a number that felt very impressive.

As for the scattered spirit stones, there were also more than a hundred thousand.

Compared to Gold Core cultivators, he might not be considered wealthy, but among Foundation Building cultivators, he was definitely considered rich. Well, Yun Qiushui was an exception.

Good Deeds and spirit stones were very valuable, but the "Qingyun Sword Scripture" was even more valuable.

The so-called strict transmission of the law meant that the thirty-six volumes of the Qingyun Sword Scripture had strict restrictions.

Under normal circumstances, he could only enter the Scripture Hall again to obtain a volume of the scripture after advancing to the Gold Core realm.

This time, he was able to obtain the inheritance of the "Qingyun Sword Scripture" because he had killed a Gold Core demonic cultivator and had Yun Changfeng speaking up for him.

Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this. Compared to other complicated and profound secret techniques, the "Qingyun Sword Scripture" was the origin of the Qingfeng Sword Technique and should be more suitable for him.

Moreover, with the Tai Primordial Spirit, he could use the Tai Primordial Spirit to practice the sword technique without affecting other spells.

The Tai Yuan Splitting Light Sword was actually a powerful spell, but it had no threat to higher-level Gold Core cultivators. Especially for demonic cultivators who were proficient in the Yin Demon Body, the Tai Yuan Splitting Light Sword was sharp and good at breaking through solid defenses, but it had no good way to deal with this kind of transformation spell.

On the other hand, the Tai Xuan Nine Yin Slaughtering Hand was not afraid of the contamination and erosion of demonic energy, and its poisonous and deadly Nine Yin Qi was unbearable even for demonic cultivators.

The Tai Ji Heavenly Gang and the Tai Ji Profound Light Heavenly Robe, one attacking and one defending, had not had a chance to test their specific power.

The main reason was that Gold Core demonic cultivators were too dangerous, and Gao Xian didn't dare to treat the other party as a test subject.

Directly blasting the opponent with two Thunder Cannon shots was the most secure strategy.

The Thunder Cannon and the Electric Light Ring were also very powerful in this battle, posing a considerable threat to the Gold Core level.

When he raised the Thunder and Electric Light technique to the level of a Grandmaster, this spell would probably truly reach the top level of Rank Three.

Gao Xian pondered over the various secret techniques and still felt that he needed to practice more of the Human Dao Spiritual Light. It was not as satisfying to practice on his own as it was to level up.

The Scripture Hall was under Yun Qingxuan's jurisdiction, so she immediately took Gao Xian into the Scripture Hall and passed on the Qingyun Sword Scripture to him.

Just like last time, the Law Manifestation transformed into the Qingxiao Scroll and cast down divine light. Gao Xian chose the "Qingyun Sword Scripture" from it.

The divine light fell and imprinted the entire scripture in Gao Xian's sea of consciousness before slowly dissipating.

Having obtained the inheritance of the "Qingyun Sword Scripture," Gao Xian also gained the qualification to cultivate in the small Grotto-Heaven for a hundred days.

With the experience from last time, Gao Xian skillfully entered the small Grotto-Heaven.

He discovered that there were thousands of clusters of spiritual light floating in the Little Grotto-Heaven, which made him extremely happy. There were so many experience packs!

However, Gao Xian quickly realized that something was wrong. There were many seniors who practiced the Qingxiao Scroll, but there were not many who practiced the Qingyun Sword Scripture.

After careful selection, Gao Xian chose ninety-seven clusters of spiritual light, which was roughly one-fortieth of the seniors, and selected the Qingyun Sword Scripture in the Qingxiao Scroll.

It can be seen that the Qingyun Sword Scripture is not very popular.

Gao Xian understood this very well. Sword techniques are incredibly powerful in combat and very imposing, but they increase the danger level tenfold compared to long-range spells.

Unless one has a strong talent in swordsmanship, most cultivators would not choose the Qingyun Sword Scripture.

Gao Xian didn't rush to use these experience packs. He first practiced the Qingyun Sword Scripture on his own, comprehending the various subtle changes in the sword scripture.

The Qingyun Sword Scripture describes sword techniques that are as ethereal as clouds, changing with the wind, and having no fixed form or stance.

Rain, snow, thunder, and lightning, all kinds of celestial phenomena changes are carried by clouds. The Qingyun Sword Scripture is divided into four Sword Intents: Rain, Snow, Thunder, and Lightning.

The changes in the clouds are driven by the wind, so the Qingyun Sword Technique contains hidden wind changes, but they are not directly presented in the sword scripture.

Gao Xian has already reached the pinnacle of the Qingfeng Sword Technique. When he saw the Qingyun Sword Scripture, he immediately understood that its foundation lies in the clouds, driven by the wind, and it brings about changes in the Rain, Snow, Thunder, and Lightning Sword Intents.

The senior who created the Qingfeng Sword Technique extracted the hidden Wind Sword Intent from the Qingyun Sword Scripture and evolved it into a complete set of sword techniques.

The Qingfeng Sword Technique actually contains various changes such as rain, lightning, and snow.

For example, the Spring Breeze brings rain. Gao Xian comprehended the essence of the Rain Sword Intent in the Qingyun Sword Scripture.

And like the wind racing and the flowing wind returning as snow, it integrated the Lightning and Snow Sword Intents.

Gao Xian learned the entire Qingyun Sword Scripture and compared it with the Qingfeng Sword Technique, and suddenly had his own insights.

The Qingyun Sword Scripture has the word "scripture," which indicates that this technique is profound and mysterious. The most exquisite part of it is the cultivation method of nourishing the Sword Intent through breathing, ultimately reaching the realm of controlling the sword with one's mind.

In comparison, the Qingfeng Sword Technique is just a set of moves, without any visualization method, nor the breathing and nourishing of the Sword Intent.

It relies on the blessing of the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror to continuously improve. He has some talent in swordsmanship, which is why he has reached the pinnacle of the sword technique.

However, he did not practice the method of converting mana into sword qi, relying solely on the exquisite Sword Intent and the power of the Azure Lotus Feihong Sword to defeat his enemies.

The Qingyun Sword Scripture can nourish sword qi, and using a sword can unleash unparalleled power.

The ability to easily break the Water Jade Sakura with the Yunqiu Water is because he cultivated the complete Taixiao Feixian Sword Scripture, which has a special method of converting mana into sword qi, allowing him to fully unleash the power of the spiritual sword in his hand.

The Qingyun Sword Scripture also has a complete cultivation method, which is the most wonderful part of this scripture.

Gao Xian has the Great Five Elements Scripture as the fundamental secret technique. By cultivating the Qingyun Sword Scripture, he will waste more than half of his ten years of hard work. Without the control of the Five Elements, his various Divine Abilities will also greatly decrease in power.

The Qingyun Sword Scripture is inferior to the Great Principle Soul Formation Scripture in terms of level. Gao Xian didn't even choose the Great Principle Soul Formation Scripture, let alone the Qingyun Sword Scripture as his main cultivation secret technique.

Fortunately, he has the Great Principle Soul Formation Clone Technique, which can convert the Great Principle's spiritual energy into Qingyun Sword Qi, so it shouldn't have much impact.

During the process of comprehending the Qingyun Sword Scripture, Gao Xian suddenly had a realization and gained a deeper understanding of the Qingfeng Sword Technique.

The Qingfeng Sword Technique had reached the pinnacle, and no matter how he cultivated, he couldn't improve further.

By studying the origin of the Qingfeng Sword Technique, the Qingyun Sword Scripture, he unconsciously broke through the limits of the Qingfeng Sword Technique.

Many Sword Intents hidden in the Qingfeng Sword Technique naturally emerged and gradually merged with what he had learned from the Qingyun Sword Scripture.

The Qingfeng Sword Technique originally originated from the Qingyun Sword Scripture. Gao Xian had a clear understanding, allowing the two to naturally blend together.

When Gao Xian opened his eyes, he felt that the Qingyun Sword Scripture he had learned had undergone subtle changes.

Opening the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, I saw that there was an additional secret technique on the front.

Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture: Wind and cloud are the sword, with wind giving rise to countless changes and clouds concealing rain, snow, thunder, and lightning. (48551/50000, entry level)

Gao Xian was a bit surprised. The Qingyun Sword Scripture had unexpectedly transformed into the Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture. It seemed that he had an extraordinary understanding of the Qingfeng Sword Technique, so he integrated a part of the essence of the Qingyun Sword Scripture and transformed it into the "Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture."

Comparing the Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture with the Qingyun Sword Scripture, their cultivation methods were almost the same, except that at the level of Sword Intent, the Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture was based on the foundation of wind and cloud, evolving into the four variations of rain, snow, thunder, and lightning.

Overall, he had integrated his Qingfeng Sword Technique into the Qingyun Sword Scripture, making some choices and slight changes to make this sword scripture more suitable for him.

Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this change. The Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture was tailored for him.

To be able to easily create the Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture, it was probably thanks to the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, which allowed him to easily integrate the two sword techniques. Otherwise, even though his attainment in the Qingfeng Sword Technique was high, he would not have been able to make changes to the Qingyun Sword Scripture. After all, there was a huge difference between the two.

Just like how the Great Principle Soul Formation and the Doppelganger Technique were easily integrated, it was all thanks to the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, and he had almost nothing to do with it.

Similarly, the Qiankun Wheel and the Yin Yang Heavenly Wheel were integrated with the help of the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror.

From the perspective of the integration effect, both secret techniques had significantly improved, and he could also allocate points using the Human Dao Spiritual Light.

What made him regretful was that he couldn't allocate points to the Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture. Upgrading this sword technique required a large amount of experience, and he didn't know how long it would take him to practice it through his diligent cultivation.

Fortunately, there were insights and experiences left by the senior members of the sect in the small Grotto-Heaven, which allowed him to progress rapidly and save a lot of cultivation time.

With ninety-seven experience packs, the Wind and Cloud Sword Scripture went from the entry level directly to the expert level.

From the experiences left by the senior members of the sect, it could be seen that they also made choices in their cultivation of the Qingyun Sword Scripture. Few people would fully cultivate the four Sword Intents of rain, snow, thunder, and lightning. Generally, they would choose two or three Sword Intents that were most suitable for themselves and cultivate them diligently.

Unfortunately, all the senior members had stopped at the Gold Core stage, and no one had achieved Nascent Soul. Obviously, the senior who created the Qingfeng Sword Technique did not leave his divine sense here.

This was also normal. After all, in the past few thousand years, the sect seemed to have only produced a few Nascent Soul True Immortals.

After absorbing the insights and experiences of many senior members of the sect, Gao Xian clearly felt that his sword technique had greatly improved. However, without any reference, he didn't know how much progress he had actually made.

If Yun Qiushui was used as a benchmark, he should have barely reached the same level.

However, Yun Qiushui was about to reach Core Formation, so her sword technique would definitely reach a higher level. He was afraid that the gap between them would widen again.

Gao Xian comforted himself, saying that it wasn't that his talent was lacking, but that the Qingfeng Sword Technique was simply much stronger than the Qingyun Sword Technique. The Zixiao Yun Guang Sword was also powerful, and he couldn't compare to Yun Qiushui, which was normal.

Besides, Yun Qiushui was a good friend, so there was no need to compare.

One hundred days passed in the blink of an eye, and Yun Qingxuan came on time to pick him up.

After leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Yun Qingxuan was about to bid farewell and leave, but Gao Xian suddenly stopped her.

"Senior Brother, I have something here. Could you please take a look for me?"

He had been keeping the spiritual fruit he obtained from killing the demon monkey in his hand.

After entering the Azure Cloud Sect, he had been lazy and had no intention of dealing with these things.

It wasn't until he encountered the Gold Core demonic cultivator during this trip that Gao Xian realized that the Azure Cloud Sect was not as safe as he had thought, and he needed to actively cultivate.

He had originally wanted to ask Yun Qiushui, but she had gone into seclusion, so he could only ask Yun Qingxuan.

Yun Qingxuan took the green-golden peach, carefully examining it. In her clear and pure eyes, there was a hint of doubt, as if she wasn't quite sure what it was.

After pondering for a moment, she said, "I'm not sure what kind of spiritual object this is. Junior Brother, don't worry, leave it with me for now, and I'll find someone to identify it."

If it were someone else, Gao Xian wouldn't feel at ease giving such a precious spiritual object to them.

But Yun Qingxuan was different. She had a noble character and an extraordinary temperament. Even if it were a Rank Three spiritual object, she wouldn't snatch it for herself.

She completely treated him as a friend, which was why she was willing to go through the trouble of helping him find someone to identify the spiritual object.

Gao Xian naturally expressed his gratitude repeatedly, and Yun Qingxuan nodded slightly before leaving first.

After leaving the Tibetan Scripture Hall, Gao Xian hurriedly returned to Xuan Du Peak.

Having not refined pills for over three months, the pills from Changsheng Hall were probably sold out.

Although refining pills to obtain Human Dao Spiritual Light was not a lot, it was stable.

Gao Xian was different from other cultivators; he didn't need to cultivate too diligently, and he had enough spare time to refine pills.

It was the end of December, with dark clouds covering the sky and heavy snowflakes falling.

The thousand peaks were covered in white, and the mountains all looked the same.

Gao Xian controlled the Yin Yang Heavenly Wheel, shuttling and speeding through the wind and snow. Wherever he passed, the snowflakes shattered into large white mist, leaving behind a long trace like a dragon in the air.

Wind, clouds, snow, and people converged at this moment.

Gao Xian faintly felt a new understanding of the Wind and Cloud Sword Technique. He couldn't help but feel a sense of joy, softly humming and accelerating the Yin Yang Heavenly Wheel to break through the air.

After flying for hundreds of miles like this, Gao Xian saw Da Niu sweeping snow in the courtyard from afar, so he slowed down. When he gracefully landed in the center of the courtyard, he was as light and elegant as falling snowflakes, not stirring up any dust.

Da Niu saw Gao Xian descending from the sky, and a look of joy appeared on his big face. "Brother, you're back!"

Gao Xian was about to speak, but suddenly felt something was wrong. His gaze fell on the main house, and there was actually someone inside!

The person in the room also heard the movement. The door opened, and Li Fei Huang's beautiful face entered Gao Xian's eyes.

She was still wearing a fiery red robe. After not seeing her for a few months, she no longer had her previous arrogance, but instead had a hint of resentment between her eyebrows.

This Li Fei Huang looked much more pleasing to the eye, even exuding a captivating charm.

Gao Xian also felt that Li Fei Huang looked more pleasing to the eye, even exuding a captivating charm, but he was still a little unhappy. What's wrong with this woman? She actually lived in his room.

He looked at Da Niu, showing a reproachful expression.

Da Niu looked aggrieved. "She... she insisted on staying here..."

Da Niu couldn't figure out the relationship between this woman and Gao Xian, couldn't beat Li Fei Huang, and didn't dare to call for help, so he could only endure it.

Gao Xian also felt that he couldn't blame Da Niu. He didn't have a good way to deal with this subordinate woman.

"Alright, go rest."

Gao Xian sent Da Niu away and said to Li Fei Huang, "What's the meaning of this?"

Li Fei Huang felt both sour and sad in her heart. She came to find Gao Xian every few days, but he treated her so coldly. Did he forget about her after finding someone new?

In the past, Li Fei Huang couldn't bear such grievances and would definitely turn around and leave.

Considering that Gao Xian risked his life to save her, even if his attitude wasn't great, she couldn't make a fuss.

Li Fei Huang forced herself to remain calm and said indifferently, "You don't need to think too much. I'm here to repay a debt. To repay the debt of saving my life!"

Gao Xian originally found Li Fei Huang inexplicable, but when he heard her say she wanted to repay the debt, he immediately became interested.

Looking at Li Fei Huang again, this woman had a beautiful face and a slender and hot figure. If she was willing to repay the debt with her body, it wouldn't be impossible...

But he reminded himself again that he was pure and couldn't let his body be tainted by women. Moreover, this woman was a bit subordinate, he couldn't touch her.

Gao Xian casually asked, "Oh, how do you plan to repay the debt?"

There seemed to be a glimmer of spring water flowing in Li Fei Huang's bright eyes. She bit her lower lip with her neat and white teeth, her face showing a hint of shyness and charm. Her hesitant appearance was full of feminine beauty.

Gao Xian was a little confused. Was this woman really suggesting sleeping together...
