Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 298: Closed Door Training

Kong Baibai said: "A gentleman is cautious and does not act rashly."

This means that a gentleman should be cautious in his actions, not speaking or acting recklessly, in order to achieve success.

Gao Xian trusted Yun Qingxuan and had Yun Qingxuan transfer Shui Yuying away, giving himself a year of preparation time.

However, he couldn't discuss the matter of killing Shui Yuying with Yun Qingxuan.

Involving Yun Qingxuan would only complicate things. As for what Yun Qingxuan thinks, that's her own business.

Five years ago, Gao Xian became a true disciple of the Shenxiao Sect. In those five years, he had read many sect scriptures.

The Azure Cloud Sect is a sect that has existed for thousands of years, and its various rules are quite complex. Gao Xian, being someone who likes to find loopholes, has studied the rules extensively.

He knew that Shui Yuying wanted to kill him, and he had been itching to kill her as well.

For this reason, he naturally had to study the relevant sect rules thoroughly.

The Shenxiao Sect strictly prohibits internal conflicts, but how could there not be any internal conflicts among the true disciples of the sect?

This is human nature, and no rules or laws can stop it. It's like how murder is a capital offense, and most murderers know the consequences, but that doesn't stop them from committing murder. It only makes them more ruthless and cautious in their actions.

In the seven thousand years of the sect's history, there are many records of mutual killings among the true disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.

Of course, no matter how ingenious the plan is, it will be exposed in front of Xuanming Heavenly Venerable.

Gao Xian had suffered a loss in Lianyun City before and had a deep impression of the bronze mirror that could distinguish between truth and falsehood.

If it weren't for Lan Jie, he would have failed that time.

This time, he was prepared in advance, relying on Lan Jie to deceive Xuanming Heavenly Venerable.

Xuanming Heavenly Venerable is not a human and does not possess wisdom. At most, it is a powerful spiritual weapon. What gives it the ability to determine the truth or falsehood?

The spiritual soul of a cultivator is mysterious, and no one can directly probe into another person's spiritual soul. Only Nascent Soul True Monarchs can barely do it.

Probing the spiritual soul would cause irreversible damage to the cultivator.

Yun Zaitian would never use such methods against the true disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.

Xuanming Heavenly Venerable should be like the bronze mirror of the Lianyun Sect, reflecting the spiritual soul aura of the cultivator and judging the authenticity through subtle changes in the aura.

Gao Xian believed that with Lan Jie by his side, there shouldn't be any problem facing Xuanming Heavenly Venerable. At least, telling a lie wouldn't be a problem.

Even if things were exposed, he wouldn't die.

After all, it was Shui Yuying who came to kill him, and he was acting in self-defense. Killing her would only be considered excessive self-defense.

On the other hand, if he went to kill Shui Yuying and she ended up killing him, she would also bear the responsibility.

Gao Xian was well aware that the execution of the law requires a certain degree of discretion, not to mention the flexibility in enforcing sect rules.

He had the support of the Yun family and the attention of Ancestor Yun Zaitian. Even if things were revealed, he would only receive some punishment, such as being confined for several decades or something similar.

For others, being confined for decades would be a waste. But he has the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, which can continuously generate Human Dao Spiritual Light income.

Even without external resources, his progress may be slower, but the impact won't be significant.

Moreover, he has the talent to reverse behead a Gold Core at the Foundation Establishment stage. A pragmatic person like Yun Changfeng will definitely do everything to protect him!

Gao Xian is not an impulsive person; he always considers the consequences before taking action.

Since he dared to kill Shui Yuying, he must have been prepared to bear the consequences.

Anyway, the worst-case scenario is that, most likely, nothing will happen. There's nothing to worry about.

Gao Xian said to Yun Qingxuan, "Senior Brother, I have just absorbed the essence of the Five Elements and need to undergo Closed Door Training for one or two years. Let Shui Jun wait for now."

Yun Qingxuan nodded slightly and said, "Closed Door Training is a major cultivation matter that cannot be delayed. You just focus on your cultivation, and I will handle Shui Jun."

It was unreasonable for Shui Yuying to suspect Gao Xian in the first place. Forcing Gao Xian to confront Xuanming Heavenly Venerable was even more unreasonable.

However, since Shui Yuying died and the Shui family is the victim, it would be difficult for others to oppose them if they speak loudly.

But that doesn't mean Shui Yuying should be allowed to control the situation. Gao Xian's Closed Door Training is justified, and if Shui Yuying wants to confront him, she can wait until Gao Xian comes out of seclusion.

Yun Qingxuan already had some disdain for Shui Yuying, and now he had a reason to stand up for Gao Xian.

Gao Xian was buying time, partly to torment Shui Yuying and partly to give himself time to upgrade the Tai Zhen Idol.

He only needed 3.18 million Human Dao Spiritual Light to upgrade the Tai Zhen Idol to Great Master Returned to Origin.

At the current rate of growth of Human Dao Spiritual Light, it would only take seven months.

With the Tai Zhen Idol upgraded to Great Master Returned to Origin, he would have a bit more confidence in dealing with the Xuanming Heavenly Venerable's statue.

Gao Xian returned to Xuan Du Peak and quickly explained things to Da Niu before entering the underground meditation room.

He activated the formation to seal the meditation room, and Gao Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If someone wanted to enter from the outside, they would have to forcibly break the formation.

Even if Shui Yuying was anxious, she wouldn't act recklessly.

The rules of the Shenxiao True Transmission were a constraint for everyone. He couldn't act recklessly, and the same applied to Shui Yuying.

Gao Xian also relaxed. He hurried back because he wanted to be one step ahead.

Sure enough, Shui Yuying didn't have any other tricks up her sleeve. Let this old man wait.

Gao Xian took out his storage bag and emptied everything, including the items given by Shui Yuying, such as the Five Thunder Beheading Evil Command. He temporarily stored them in the Wanbao Tower.

The Wanbao Tower was very safe, and Jin Dabao was his friend with shared interests. There was no reason for him to favor the Shui family.

On the other hand, he left a Divine Sense imprint on the storage bag. If the Divine Sense imprint was opened, whatever was inside the bag would have nothing to do with him.

Anyway, Jin Dabao would come out as a witness, and he could clean himself of any involvement.

After all, what Jin Dabao did itself violated the rules, and his words are simply not enough to be trusted.

There are many good things left by Ye Huanyuan, with more than 170 High Grade Spirit Stones alone, plus the 20 High Grade Spirit Stones from Shui Yuying. In total, there are about 200 High Grade Spirit Stones.

Shui Yuying has the backing of the sect, so precious items can be safely kept at home. She cannot carry too many Spirit Stones when she goes out.

Ye Huanyuan is different. He is the master of the Juling Sect and has a few cats and dogs in the sect, but they are not capable of protecting the sect.

Furthermore, Ye Huanyuan does not trust these disciples and followers. When he goes out, he will definitely carry his money and belongings with him.

As the Sect Leader of a small sect, Ye Huanyuan's total wealth is only a little over 100 High Grade Spirit Stones, which can be considered poor.

The real valuable items are the round heart-protecting mirror, which should be a Rank Three Middle Grade Magic Treasure, possibly even High Grade, but Gao Xian cannot be sure.

The iron staff is a Rank Three High Grade Magical Item and is also valuable.

Gao Xian thinks the most valuable item is the green gem, which looks like a flattened lychee with complex and natural patterns on the surface.

There are mysterious runes deep inside the gem, which looks like a Magic Treasure, but also like a naturally born spiritual object.

Gao Xian is considered a master in Medicine Pill cultivation, but only has a rough understanding of other things such as Magical Items, talismans, and formations.

Identifying Magical Items requires a lot of practice to develop a keen eye.

Zhu Qiniang is very talented in this aspect and can get a rough idea of things as soon as she touches them.

Gao Xian, on the other hand, is not as good. He has been pondering over the green gem for a long time but still hasn't figured out what it is.

He can only see that the gem contains a strong vitality and spiritual Qi, but he needs some time to figure out how to use it.

Apart from that, other Magical Items and spiritual objects are not worth much.

Excluding the iron staff, the gem, and the heart-protecting mirror, all the other items together should be worth a little over 100 High Grade Spirit Stones.

Calculating like this, Ye Huanyuan, as the Sect Leader of a small sect, is living a bit miserably.

On the other hand, Yun Taihao, with the same Gold Core cultivation base, has millions of cultivators under his command, occupying a large city and ruling over dozens of districts. His wealth is abundant.

In terms of cultivation base, Yun Taihao may not necessarily be stronger than Ye Huanyuan. Ultimately, it is because Yun Taihao has the backing of the Azure Cloud Sect that he can firmly control the Lianyun Sect.

Cultivators with and without backgrounds, even with the same cultivation base, are completely different things!

Gao Xian also deeply understands this. Since becoming a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, he can easily obtain various spiritual objects, and his tasks are also very smooth.

Just like cooperating with Jin Dabao to sell books, if he were not a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, Jin Dabao would not even give a small Foundation Establishment cultivator a second look, let alone engage in such a troublesome cooperation.

The identity of being a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect has saved him countless troubles.

Enjoying the privileges brought by his identity naturally comes with corresponding responsibilities.

Gao Xian understands this very well and does not think that the matter with Shui Yuying is too troublesome.

As long as the sect rules are not prepared for him alone, then there is no problem.

With a loud rumble, the spiritual light of the formation suddenly appeared, alarming Gao Xian in the quiet room.

Gao Xian opened the water mirror and saw Water Jade Jun standing in the courtyard wearing a jade-colored robe, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

Beside him, Da Niu was intimidated by Gold Core's momentum, his whole body pressed against the wall, unable to catch his breath.

Gao Xian couldn't help but laugh. Water Jade Jun was just a Kunbu Daozheng, he would only throw a tantrum and wouldn't dare to do anything serious.

Gao Xian took out the Divine Sense and sent a message to Yun Qingxuan using the Shenxiao Order.

Within the sect's formation range, the Shenxiao Order could be used for communication. However, its functionality was relatively simple and could only transmit basic information.

"Gao Xian!"

Water Jade Jun shouted, "Are you too scared to face me?"

Gao Xian remained silent, watching Water Jade Jun speak angrily. He found it quite amusing.

This elegant and handsome gentleman seemed to be losing his temper!

Water Jade Jun couldn't get a response, and he didn't have a good solution either. He couldn't really break through the formation, as that wasn't his style of doing things.

He left like that, feeling very awkward and uncomfortable.

While Water Jade Jun was in a dilemma, a stream of swirling cloud light descended from the sky.

When the umbrella-like cloud light dissipated, Yun Qingxuan, dressed in green, stood quietly in front of Water Jade Jun.

"Water Perfected Being, Gao Xian is in Closed Door Training. If something goes wrong because of your disturbance, how should we handle it?"

Yun Qingxuan said calmly, "Gao Xian is here and can't run away. When he comes out of seclusion, he will definitely give you an explanation."

Water Jade Jun felt relieved when he saw Yun Qingxuan stepping forward. This was the best outcome.

"Alright, I'll wait." Water Jade Jun flicked his sleeve and flew into the sky, disappearing in an instant.

Yun Qingxuan glanced at Da Niu, seeing that he was only in a state of magic power disorder and not injured, before activating the cloud light umbrella and leaving.

Once both Gold Core Perfected Beings had left, Da Niu slumped to the ground, panting heavily with sweat pouring down his face.

Being suppressed by Water Jade Jun's Gold Core aura, he felt as if he had died, only coming back to life now...

Gao Xian also saw Da Niu's miserable state and could only give him a sympathetic look, thinking of compensating him later.

Since it was Closed Door Training, he couldn't just wander around.

The underground quiet room was quite suffocating. Gao Xian could only endure and cultivate every day, occasionally studying a few good things about Ye Huanyuan.

After half a year, he finally accumulated three million two hundred thousand Human Dao Spiritual Light.

Without hesitation, Gao Xian added points to the Tai Zhen Ou Shen, raising this secret technique to the Great Master Returned to Origin Realm.

In the depths of the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, Lan Jie appeared in a bright red jacket. Her eyes were full of joy, with a touch of gentle charm like spring water.

Lan Jie gently held Gao Xian's hand and led him to the brocade bed...
