Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 311: Sword Ray Han Cang Mountain

As summer fades and autumn arrives, the mountains are adorned with a dazzling display of red and yellow, creating a vibrant autumn scene. The autumn wind carries a hint of coldness and desolation.

Gao Xian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the autumn scenery of the mountains, unable to help but sigh.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, one can become accustomed to it over time. Once accustomed, it becomes ignored, and eventually, one grows tired of it.

Gao Xian was feeling a bit weary now. Fei Xian Peak was steep and towering, offering a broad view from its summit, but it became boring after looking at it for too long.

The mountaintop was empty, devoid of any human presence. Not even a playful little kitten could be found.

May had come to this place, and in the blink of an eye, it was already October. In these five months, he had written over ten volumes of "The Legend of the White Snake."

He had bought a Purple Bamboo Flying Kite from the Fire Department's Refining Institute. This Rank Two Magical Item was quite interesting, with a built-in storage space, allowing it to transport items as a flying Magical Item.

However, its flying distance was limited and required guidance from a matching bamboo whistle, making it of limited practicality. Its safety was also not good, as it could easily be intercepted, so it could only be used within the sect's range.

With this Purple Bamboo Flying Kite, Gao Xian's novels could be delivered to the experts.

The experts would send them to the Wan Bao Tower on time, and Jin Da Bao would then distribute "The Legend of the White Snake" to various sects.

As time passed, Gao Xian's monthly harvest of Human Dao Spiritual Light continued to increase.

Obviously, Jin Da Bao's promotion outside was quite effective.

Sometimes, Gao Xian would think about what it would be like if his novels were sold in Ming Continent and spread throughout the Nine Continents.

Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking.

The profits from the novels were too meager, and the promotion in Wan Feng County was already very slow, let alone promoting it outside the county.

Fortunately, he was steadily receiving 600,000 Human Dao Spiritual Light every month, and it was even slowly increasing.

After seven months, he had accumulated over four million Human Dao Spiritual Light.

Gao Xian didn't rush to allocate the points. He had nothing urgent to do, so he could accumulate more Human Dao Spiritual Light and allocate points as needed.

Since there was nothing to do in the mountains and wilderness, he ate the remaining Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit.

This Vermilion Fruit added thirty years to his lifespan, indicating that he had developed resistance to it.

His lifespan had reached 560 years, and considering his current age of forty, his lifespan was only one-fourteenth of it.

The powerful vitality made him feel that both his mind and body were at their peak, and he was becoming stronger every day.

Unfortunately, he had no place to use his abundant energy. As a master of romance, he could only play with Lan Jie.

Yun Qing Xuan said that it would take at most a year, and five months had already passed.

Gao Xian began to count the days on his fingers every day, silently cheering on Yun Qiu Shui in his heart.

"Brother, it's been five or six years and I still haven't reached the Golden Core stage. I feel a bit unworthy of the title of peerless sword genius..."

Gao Xian looked at the scenery for a while and found it boring, so he took a bamboo pole and started fishing by the side of the water pool.

There was a spring here that constantly gushed out water, and someone had surrounded it with stones to create a simple water pool. It was only a few zhang in diameter, and when there was too much water, it would overflow from the drainage outlet.

Occasionally, a few small fish, as thick as fingers, would swim out of the spring.

Gao Xian would fish with the bamboo pole whenever he had nothing to do, mainly for leisure and relaxation.

Just as Gao Xian sat down on a small wooden stool, golden runes appeared on the sealed stone wall.

He was first startled, then overjoyed, "Brother, you're about to come out!"

The shining golden runes suddenly shattered, and a sharp cold light shot straight out from the stone wall.

The sharp cold light was only a projection of Sword Qi and did not cause substantial damage to the sealed stone wall, but it did break the magic power seal on it.

In the blink of an eye, the sharp cold light converged and dissipated.

It felt as if Yun Qiushui was practicing swordsmanship, accidentally poking a hole in the wall, and then retracting the sword.

Gao Xian also felt that this Sword Qi was sharp enough, but lacked momentum, and did not have the aura of a condensed Golden Core.

He put down the bamboo pole and patiently waited for a while, and sure enough, another Sword Ray broke through the wall.

This time, the Sword Ray was ethereal like clouds, with subtle and graceful changes.

After a while, another Sword Ray broke through the wall. This time, the Sword Ray was exceptionally elegant and extraordinary, exuding an Immortal Qi that seemed untainted by the mortal world.

Gao Xian stood guard at the stone wall and saw the Sword Rays inside constantly changing, each time with a different Sword intent Realm.

This made Gao Xian feel uneasy. It was obvious that Yun Qiushui's Sword Technique had not fully formed yet, which was why it kept transforming Sword intent and trying to find its own path.

Just as he had speculated before, Yun Qiushui's Sword Technique was at a similar level to his, or even inferior.

He had reached the master realm in the Wind and Cloud Sword Manual, and in terms of Sword Technique, he already had his own style and a stable and mature Sword Technique structure, which could be considered unique.

Yun Qiushui, on the other hand, was one step behind. His Sword Technique was indeed brilliant, but he was still following the path of the sword manual and had not found his own unique path in Sword Technique.

This didn't mean that Yun Qiushui was worse than him. It should be said that the "Taiwei Feixian Sword Manual" was too powerful and far surpassed the "Wind and Cloud Sword Manual" in terms of level.

To find his own path in the "Taiwei Feixian Sword Manual" would be much more difficult.

Suddenly, Gao Xian understood Yun Qiushui. No wonder he hadn't formed a Golden Core even after several years of Closed Door Training.

It wasn't because his cultivation base was insufficient, but because his Sword Technique Realm hadn't reached the required level.

The path of sword cultivation was like this. If the Sword Technique Realm was not enough, even if one forcibly formed a Golden Core, it would lack purity and would not be in harmony with the sword manual, resulting in a much lower quality Golden Core.

Sword cultivators followed the path of utmost purity, which is why their combat power far surpassed cultivators of the same rank.

If the Gold Core is not of sufficient quality, then the advantage of the Sword Cultivator compared to the same rank Gold Core will be lost.

Not to mention Yun Qiushui, who is proud and arrogant, even if any other Sword Cultivator were to switch, they would not be able to reluctantly cultivate the Golden Core.

Gao Xian was a little worried about Yun Qiushui. Based on his performance, it seemed unlikely that he would be able to integrate Sword Technique in a short period of time.

However, through the leaked Sword Rays, Gao Xian was able to catch a glimpse of some changes in Sword intent in the Taiwei Feixian Sword Classic.

To say that he could learn the Taiwei Feixian Sword Classic just from this was absolutely impossible.

This kind of sword technique is extremely complex and profound, and it is impossible to learn without the inheritance of divine intent.

However, Gao Xian's Sword Technique had already reached the realm of a grandmaster, and by observing Yun Qiushui's Sword intent, he could always gain something by comparing it to his own.

After a few days passed, Yun Qiushui continuously transformed his Sword intent, and Sword Rays would occasionally break through.

From this, Gao Xian could also see that Yun Qiushui was somewhat restless, to the point where his Sword Qi would lose control and break through the formation.

After observing for a few more days, Gao Xian felt that Yun Qiushui needed some stimulation.

No matter how you look at it, he should help this brother.

When another Sword Ray broke through, Gao Xian urged a strand of Sword Ray to meet it.

The two Sword Rays intersected, naturally causing Yun Qiushui, who was in Closed Door Training deep within the stone wall, to sense it.

Yun Qiushui almost instinctively transformed his Sword Ray, becoming exceptionally sharp, wanting to break Gao Xian's Sword Ray.

Gao Xian used the Yunmen Sword intent to fight back, with faint clouds that seemed distant yet close, real yet illusory.

Within the clouds, there were various changes such as rain, snow, thunder, and lightning.

The continuous Sword Rays like clouds trapped Yun Qiushui's Sword Ray. No matter how he tried to change it, he couldn't break free.

At this point, Yun Qiushui suddenly realized that the person outside had a higher level of Sword Technique than him.

Yun Qiushui had originally assumed that it was Gao Xian outside, but now he couldn't help but doubt it.

Gao Xian's Qingfeng Sword Technique was unparalleled, but this Yunmen Sword intent clearly came from the Azure Cloud Sword Classic, yet it had subtle differences.

It could be said that he interpreted the Azure Cloud Sword Classic with a different charm, creating his own unique style.

With such a high level of Sword Technique realm, could it really be Gao Xian?

However, it didn't matter who the person outside was. Having a Sword Technique grandmaster accompanying him in his sword practice was exactly what he had been hoping for.

Yun Qiushui had been focusing on sword practice for the past few years, and his proficiency in the Taiwei Feixian Sword Classic was pure, but he had reached a bottleneck and couldn't progress any further.

At this time, sparring with a Sword Technique grandmaster had given him a great stimulus and sparked many inspirations.

It turns out that Sword Technique can be so varied, truly exquisite! This is something I couldn't have imagined before...

In this exchange, Yun Qiushui gained a deeper understanding of the Taiwei Feixian Sword Scripture.

Yun Qiushui also discovered the great benefits of this exchange and became more serious in unleashing Sword Ray to engage in a battle with the person outside.

For a moment, on the Feixian Peak, the green and white Sword Rays intertwined and changed, and the chilling Sword intent soared into the sky.

Yun Changfeng, who was stationed in Qianbu, sensed the changes in the seal on the stone wall through his token. He immediately opened the Wanli Xuanguang Mirror and projected it onto the Feixian Peak.

Seeing the green and white Sword Rays crossing and fiercely clashing, Yun Changfeng was suddenly shocked. But he quickly calmed down. His daughter was right. Gao Xian might be bad, but he was definitely a smart person and wouldn't play tricks on Yun Qiushui.

He was not good at Sword Technique, but he could see that both Sword Rays had a chilling and sharp Sword intent. Even through the Xuanguang Mirror, he could feel that bone-chilling Sword intent.

Yun Changfeng was a little worried. He knew that Yun Qiushui hadn't reached the Golden Core stage yet, and now he was fighting Gao Xian from a distance like this. Would it affect Yun Qiushui's cultivation?

He couldn't be sure about this. After all, the path of swordsmanship was completely different from that of other cultivators. His cultivation experience would be of little help to Yun Qiushui.

After pondering for a while, Yun Changfeng controlled his escape light and arrived at the Xueming Pavilion.

Although Yun Changfeng was from the main bloodline of the Yun family and had a righteous position in Qianbu, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the Xueming Pavilion. He respectfully knocked on the door.

"Come in," came the gentle voice of Yun Zaitian Patriarch from inside.

Yun Changfeng pushed open the door and entered the Xueming Pavilion, then carefully closed the door. In the Great Hall, he saw Patriarch Yun Zaitian sitting on a cushion, looking calm and relaxed.

Seeing Patriarch's posture, Yun Changfeng naturally relaxed as well. But since he had come, he had to clarify things.

After respectfully bowing, Yun Changfeng asked, "Patriarch, is it inappropriate for Qiushui to be like this?"

"Closing oneself off and not seeking advice will never work. His talent hasn't reached that level yet."

Yun Zaitian said slowly, "Having a great expert in Sword Technique spar with him is a great thing."

"If I'm not mistaken, there is no one else in the Sect who is better at Sword Technique than Gao Xian."

He shook his head and couldn't help but say, "This kid's talent in swordsmanship is not inferior to Qiushui's, and even surpasses it by a bit. You said he excels in both law and sword, and you were right. It's fortunate that such a person has entered our Sect..."

Yun Changfeng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When he praised Gao Xian back then, it was also for the sake of the Sect.

After all, Gao Xian was the champion of the Qingyun Conference, and the stronger Gao Xian was, the more it would demonstrate the power of the Qingyun Conference.

The excellence in both law and sword was just a casual remark. He didn't expect it to come true...

But Yun Changfeng's heart was completely relieved. Since the Patriarch said it was a good thing, then it must be true.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Patriarch, should we really give Gao Xian the Five-Colored Lotus Flower from the Lihuo Underground Palace?"

Yun Zaitian glanced at Yun Changfeng, his face showing a smile that was not a smile, with a playful expression.

Yun Changfeng, who was nearly four hundred years old, was truly embarrassed at this moment...
