Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 316: Three-tailed Celestial Fox

The Jinxiao Palace was primarily constructed using golden larch wood, a material that closely resembled gold in both hardness and stability.

The walls, floors, and pillars were all golden, including the glazed tiles on the roof.

The magnificent palace had a rigorous and grand internal structure, giving it a sacred and imposing aura.

When Gao Xian first saw the golden palace from above, he thought it looked a bit tacky. However, upon entering, he realized just how enormous it was.

The entrance gate alone was seven zhang high, and the dome reached over twenty zhang. The Great Hall had thirty-six massive pillars, yet it still appeared exceptionally spacious.

Being inside the Great Hall naturally made one feel overwhelmed by its grandeur.

Especially in the center of the Great Hall, where there were no pillars, it spanned over a hundred zhang in diameter, roughly the size of one and a half football fields.

The disciples of the Moon Wheel Sect and the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect resided on the east and west sides respectively, while the host, Yun Changfeng, sat facing south in the north.

A massive array was laid beneath the entire Great Hall, and the magic power generated by the array kept the chairs and tables suspended in mid-air.

Everyone sat at different heights according to their status. This hierarchical arrangement not only easily distinguished their ranks but also ensured that each position had a good view.

As the array operated, a mist-like magic power permeated the Great Hall, adding a touch of ethereal and fantastical atmosphere.

Gao Xian and Yun Qiushui, of course, did not enter through the main entrance. They quietly entered through a side door of the Great Hall and sat down below Yun Changfeng's seat in the second row.

Yun Changfeng, as the master of the Great Hall and tonight's host, naturally occupied the highest seat.

Although Gao Xian was only at the Foundation Establishment cultivation base, he was a true disciple of the Shenxiao Sect. Sitting in the second row was in line with his status.

Other Foundation Establishment cultivators and various deacons were seated according to their hierarchical positions.

In the center of the Great Hall, a group of colorful-dressed dancers were gracefully performing. Gao Xian recognized them all; they were the girls from the Changle Tower, with whom he had played for several days and had become very familiar.

The Azure Cloud Sect was a cultivation sect and naturally would not openly keep dancers and singers. As for what the Gold Core Perfected Beings did privately, that was another matter.

It was a regular practice to have the Changle Tower responsible for entertainment and performances when receiving guests from afar.

Yun Qiushui naturally noticed this and lightly raised her eyebrows, smiling as she said to Gao Xian, "They're all old acquaintances."

Gao Xian smiled but didn't say anything. Yun Changfeng was above them, so he had to behave.

"The one called Bingbing is Yue Qingwei, and the charming and seductive one is Yan Feiyin. I guess you like Yan Feiyin..." Yun Qiushui communicated with Gao Xian using her divine sense, not afraid of being heard by others.

Gao Xian had taken a distant glance at Yue Qingwei outside the Moon Wheel City, so he had a somewhat deep impression of this woman.

Yue Qingwei had a cold demeanor, but it was different from the coldness of Yun Qingxuan. Her coldness was like the icy gleam on a blade, sharp and piercing.

It was evident that she was a Gold Core sword cultivator, which explained her imposing aura.

The Moon Wheel Sect excelled in sword cultivation, and the one leading the group this time, Bai Zizhen, was also a Gold Core sword cultivator. The New Moon Sword was renowned throughout the Moon Wheel Path.

Gao Xian didn't particularly like women like Yue Qingwei, who were sharp and aloof. He found Li Feihuang more interesting.

At least Li Feihuang was more beautiful, and her passion was intense when it ignited.

Yan Fei Yin's voice type is very similar to Yu Ling's, to be honest, she is even more beautiful than Yu Ling.

Yu Ling is a delicate and lively beauty. Yan Fei Yin is charming and alluring, with her deep blue eyes displaying countless different charms with every movement.

In terms of personal charm, Yan Fei Yin surpasses Yu Ling by far.

Gao Xian couldn't help but take a few more glances. Sensing Gao Xian's gaze, Yan Fei Yin's deep blue eyes subtly shifted, and her gaze hooked onto Gao Xian's heart, leaving a deep impression.

"What kind of bewitching sorcery is this? This woman is so captivating..."

Gao Xian muttered to himself, he had seen many women before, but it was the first time he felt so captivated by a woman.

Even the female cultivators who have mastered the secret technique of the Mastery Lotus Flower, like Fan Ling Zhen, are far inferior to Yan Fei Yin. This is too abnormal.

However, Gao Xian couldn't detect any traces of spell changes.

With his powerful Divine Sense and the unyielding Realm forged by the Great Vajra Staff, he was impervious to external demons.

Not to mention, he also had Lan Jie. As his Divine Sense grew stronger, Lan Jie's Divine Sense also became exceptionally powerful.

Any spell activation would leave traces, and it would be difficult for even a Nascent Soul True Monarch to hide from his dual Divine Sense detection.

Yun Qiu Shui was also staring at Yan Fei Yin, his eyes filled with doubt. This woman wasn't as good-looking as him, but she was so captivating, it's not normal...

Yun Qiu Shui had refined his Gold Core and his Sword Intent was extremely pure. Despite playing around with Gao Xian at the Changle Tower, he was truly playing, while Gao Xian was the one enjoying himself.

In his eyes, any stunning woman was not as attractive as a good sword.

He glanced at Gao Xian and noticed that Gao Xian's gaze was bright and clear. He sighed in relief, "There's something off about this woman, you're easily infatuated with women, so be careful not to get into trouble."

Gao Xian retorted, "I am pure and innocent, don't tarnish my innocence."

"Hehe..."

Yun Qiu Shui smiled and didn't say anything. He had already witnessed Gao Xian's "purity and innocence," if he were to believe it again, he would be a fool.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Cultivators of the Wan Ling Sect gain special powers from their spirit beasts. It's very likely that this woman's spirit beast is a fox."

"The eyes of a fox have a natural charm that captivates souls, it's not a spell or supernatural power, it's quite extraordinary..."

"I see."

Gao Xian finally understood that cultivators of the Wan Ling Sect had this ability. If Yan Fei Yin's spirit beast was a fox, everything would make sense.

Yun Qiu Shui hesitated again, "Although foxes are good at seduction, their strength is actually quite weak. Very few people choose foxes as their spirit beasts."

"Perhaps this woman got lucky and found a powerful Great Monster fox," Gao Xian casually said.

"It's not easy to control a spirit beast, at the very least, the cultivator's strength cannot be lower than the spirit beast's, otherwise, how can they control it..."

Yun Qiu Shui didn't know much about the Wan Ling Sect, but he knew some basic knowledge about taming beasts. He didn't agree with Gao Xian's statement.

Gao Xian and Yun Qiu Shui communicated through Divine Sense, even Yun Changfeng beside them couldn't hear them, let alone Yan Fei Yin who was dozens of yards away.

However, Yan Fei Yin could tell from their subtle eye expressions that they were communicating through Divine Sense and were probably discussing her.

She couldn't help but smile, feeling excited and proud to receive such attention from Gao Xian and Yun Qiu Shui.

Yun Qiu Shui, dressed in white, was incomparably handsome.

Great Hall is so beautiful, no one can compare to Yun Qiushui. Such a person, truly like a heavenly immortal.

However, Yan Feiyin prefers Gao Xian.

Gao Xian's features are profound, his handsomeness is more rugged and majestic than Yun Qiushui's beauty. His radiant star-like eyes are full of charm.

Although he is not a Gold Core cultivator, his appearance and aura are perfect and profound.

Sitting among the group of Gold Core cultivators, his demeanor stands out, making it unforgettable.

Ma Tengyun, sitting on the side, transmitted his Divine Sense and said, "There's no need to mention Yun Qiushui, his beauty is flawless like a Deva. Gao Xian, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, sitting next to Yun Qiushui, is equally impressive, truly remarkable..."

Yun Qiushui is from the main branch of the Yun family. Since childhood, he has shown talent in sword cultivation and has been carefully nurtured by the Yun family. This is how they have raised a Gold Core sword cultivator with such grace and elegance.

On the other hand, Gao Xian comes from a humble background. It is said that he achieved nothing in his twenties. Now, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Yun Qiushui, which naturally amazes Ma Tengyun.

Yan Feiyin said, "Gao Xian is a very special person, interesting."

"Be careful, it is said that Gao Xian is a master of romance. Even Gold Core Perfected Beings like Su Yuying have been secretly manipulated by his beauty."

Ma Tengyun reminded, "Although you have a three-tailed spirit fox, don't underestimate this person."

Yan Feiyin glanced at Ma Tengyun, "My three-tailed Celestial Fox is only used by me to charm others. There's no need for others to play tricks on me. If you don't understand, don't worry about it."

Although Ma Tengyun received a disdainful look, he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.

Others can't even get a disdainful look! Junior sister treats him differently!

Sitting at the top, Wan Chang'an transmitted, "After the music and dance stop, Tengyun, you go and spar with Yun Qiushui, see the quality of this Gold Core sword cultivator."

"Feiyin, you go with Gao Xian..."

"Yes, Master Uncle." Yan Feiyin and Ma Tengyun responded in unison.

With a light sound of the cloud board, the music stopped, and the dancing colorful clothed women dispersed.

The various Illusion Arts in the center of the Great Hall also dissipated along with it.

Yun Changfeng lightly applauded, "A beautiful dance, like a dream, ethereal and enchanting."

He raised his wine cup to Wan Chang'an and Bai Zizhen, gesturing, "Both Perfected Beings have come from afar, there is nothing to entertain you, please enjoy this cup."

Wan Chang'an happily raised his cup and drank, while Bai Zizhen nodded slightly and said, "I don't like drinking, thank you for your kind offer, Perfected Being Yun."

She then said, "As cultivators, we should not indulge in worldly pleasures. It is also a grand occasion for the three sects to gather. Why not let the younger generation show their skills for the Perfected Beings to appreciate."

Moon Qingwei, who was sitting below Bai Zizhen, suddenly stood up and gracefully floated to the center of the Great Hall. She cupped her hands towards Yun Qiushui and said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Yun is also a Gold Core cultivator in the path of the sword. I happen to have learned some Sword Techniques. I would like to take this opportunity to ask for guidance from Fellow Daoist Yun..."

Moon Qingwei's voice was cold as ice, but it circulated throughout the Great Hall, making everyone hear it clearly.

Yun Qiushui had anticipated this and smiled at Gao Xian, "I'll go and test this woman's depth for Brother Gao..."

Gao Xian also smiled, "Be careful, don't strain your waist."

Yun Qiushui gracefully landed opposite Moon Qingwei, and he said loudly, "Fellow Daoist Moon is interested, I will accompany you. Please."

Moon Qingwei drew her Bright Moon Clear Light Sword, "Please."

As soon as her long sword appeared, a pure and clear light emanated from the blade, making everyone in the room feel a slight chill. It was as if the sharp and cold blade had already landed on them.

The members of the Wanling Sect, including Wanchangan, all had a serious expression. This young woman possesses a strong Sword intent, truly worthy of being a Gold Core sword cultivator who has achieved the unity of heart and sword.

A cultivator whose mind and body are as clear as a sword is said to have achieved the unity of heart and sword. The external manifestation of this is a pure and flawless Sword intent that can change at will, like a Ruyi Scepter.

Only sword cultivators who have reached the realm of unity of heart and sword can form a Gold Core.

Everyone present is highly skilled and naturally able to discern the cultivation base realm of Yue Qingwei's sword dao. It is impossible to deceive them.

"Please."

Yun Qiushui drew out the Purple Cloud Sword and saluted before raising the sword in front of her eyebrows. In the next moment, a sharp Sword Ray suddenly surged.

Yue Qingwei urged the Bright Moon Sword to meet it.

Both Gold Core sword cultivators restrained each other, and they were both sword cultivators who had achieved the unity of heart and sword. In addition, the Great Hall was protected by an invisible formation, which controlled the surging Sword Ray within a certain range.

The bright Sword Rays intersected, with Yun Qiushui's Sword Ray being even sharper, while Yue Qingwei's Sword Ray was colder.

Both Sword intents were extremely brilliant, and for a moment, the Sword Rays intertwined and changed in countless ways.

Yun Changfeng and Wanchangan, both Gold Core experts, were watching very seriously, not to mention the others who were staring at the two clusters of Sword Rays.

Gold Core sword cultivators are already rare, and it is even rarer for two Gold Core sword cultivators to fight each other.

Gao Xian only took a glance and knew that Yun Qiushui had already won. As someone who had practiced sword cultivation with Yun Qiushui and understood her sword dao cultivation base the most, he could be considered the person who knew her best.

As a Sword Technique Great Master, he could also see through Yue Qingwei clearly.

Yue Qingwei's Sword Technique was high, and her Sword intent was pure, but her Sword Technique was not as exquisite as the Taiwei Feixian Sword.

Although both of them were Gold Core cultivators who had achieved the unity of heart and sword, their differences in Sword Technique meant that Yue Qingwei was destined to lose tonight.

"Heart and sword as one, body and sword as one, the birth of a divine spirit in the sword..."

Gao Xian didn't know much about sword cultivators, but through Yun Qiushui, he learned that sword cultivators can generally be divided into three realms, corresponding to the Gold Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation cultivation base realms.

Controlling the sword with the heart is just the beginning. To truly merge the body and the sword is extremely difficult. When one reaches the realm of unity of body and sword, they truly possess the power to break all techniques with a single sword.

As for the God Transformation realm, where the sword gives birth to a divine spirit, it means that with a sword in hand, one can do anything. The unimaginable power it possesses is beyond comprehension.

In the vast Ming Continent, there hasn't been a single sword cultivator who has reached the realm of God Transformation in thousands of years.

He had long achieved the unity of heart and sword, thanks to the clarity inside and outside the Great Vajra Staff. He even faintly touched the door to the unity of body and sword. In terms of sword dao, he was one level higher than Yun Qiushui and Yue Qingwei.

Of course, both of them were pure Gold Core sword cultivators, so it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat them.

Gao Xian no longer paid attention to the battle and took the opportunity to carefully observe the cultivators of the two sects.

While everyone was fully focused on the battle, they couldn't completely conceal their true selves. Through their gazes and expressions, Gao Xian could roughly judge their cultivation base levels and temperament.

To Gao Xian's surprise, when his gaze fell on Yan Feiyin, this woman actually noticed him.

Yan Feiyin withdrew her gaze from the battle and looked at Gao Xian, revealing a set of neat and delicate white teeth. Her smile was like a coquettish gesture towards a lover, a bit mischievous and cute, with a seductive charm.

Gao Xian couldn't help but feel a little moved by her. This woman was truly captivating, and he didn't know what it felt like.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became alert and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What a bewitching woman, trying to corrupt the righteous path. I should take out the Golden Whip to suppress demons and uphold justice..."
