Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 319: Ice Soul Sword

Each sect sends one Foundation Establishment cultivator to compete for the Five-Colored Lotus flower. This condition is tailor-made for Gao Xian.

Upon hearing this, Yun Changfeng understood immediately. He couldn't help but give a deep look at Wan Chang'an. Is this person so confident that Yan Feiyin can win against Gao Xian?

In the battle two days ago, if it weren't for Yan Feiyin's three-tailed Celestial Fox substitute, she would have died.

After this battle, everyone learned about Yan Feiyin's spirit beast transformation.

The method of substitution is indeed clever, but it's not very effective when others are prepared.

Gao Xian, on the other hand, only displayed an extraordinary Sword Technique.

The question is, what use is it to know how powerful Gao Xian's Sword Technique is? Does it have any special means to counter it?

Yun Changfeng couldn't understand where Wan Chang'an's confidence came from. It was precisely because he couldn't understand that he had to be cautious.

The Five-Colored Lotus flower is an essential spiritual object for Gao Xian's Golden Core, so it is reasonable for Gao Xian to compete for it.

However, Wan Ling Sect has shown an attitude of being certain of Gao Xian's defeat. Yun Changfeng has to be responsible for Gao Xian and cannot easily agree.

Seeing Yun Changfeng hesitate, Wan Chang'an asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

"I need to think about it," Yun Changfeng replied.

Yun Changfeng was a bit annoyed, but he had to ask Gao Xian about this matter.

Gao Xian, who cultivated at Xuan Du Peak, was summoned to the Jin Xiao Palace.

Yun Changfeng's study was arranged very simply, with bookshelves filled with various documents. There were paper and pens on the long table for office use.

As the head of the Qianbu, responsible for financial expenditures and personnel deployment, daily work was very busy.

When Gao Xian entered, Yun Changfeng was writing something at his desk. "Gao Xian, sit down and wait for a moment," he said casually, with a sense of closeness, not treating Gao Xian as an outsider.

Gao Xian cupped his hands in salute and silently sat down on a nearby chair.

After waiting for a while, Yun Changfeng finished his work and looked up at Gao Xian with a smile. "I'm busy every day, delaying my cultivation."

He paused and said with some emotion, "The ancestor said long ago that I had no chance of achieving Nascent Soul, so I let go of my obsession with cultivation and focused my energy on the sect..."

A cultivator giving up on the Great Dao of cultivation would definitely have many regrets.

On the other hand, it could also be seen that Yun Changfeng was very rational. He gave up on the elusive future and instead grasped the more stable and better present.

Such choices require wisdom and decisiveness. Most people often hesitate and end up with nothing.

Gao Xian admired Yun Changfeng, but of course, he would never make such a choice himself, no matter what anyone said.

Managing a sect may bring a sense of accomplishment, but it cannot compare to longevity and eternal life.

Yun Changfeng was just expressing his emotions and bridging the gap with Gao Xian. It was a kind of conversational skill.

"Wan Chang'an proposed that each sect sends one Foundation Establishment cultivator to compete for the Five-Colored Lotus flower, and whoever obtains it will keep it," Yun Changfeng said, looking at Gao Xian. "What do you think?"

Gao Xian immediately understood that this was a trap specifically prepared for him by Wan Chang'an.

He needs the Five-Colored Lotus flower for his Golden Core, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a Ninth Grade Five-Colored Lotus flower.

If he were to fight desperately for it, he would have to carefully weigh the pros and cons. But for now, he didn't have so many thoughts.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator, no matter how strong, can still be stronger than him? Do they really think his Wind Moon Treasure Mirror is fake?!

With so many supernatural powers and the Great Master Sword Technique, if they still can't defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator, then there's nothing more to say.

Gao Xian pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go."

Yun Changfeng reminded him, "The other party must have found a technique or magic treasure that can counter your Sword Technique. You should think twice."

"The Five-colored Lotus Flower is related to my Golden Core matter. How can I retreat?"

Gao Xian said seriously, "Master, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

"Good."

Yun Changfeng didn't persuade him any further. This matter was indeed very dangerous, but dangers were everywhere on the path of cultivation.

Even the corpses lying on the ground could be manipulated by Devil Cultivators, let alone living people.

"The Five Elements Island Restrictions will open around the end of this year. Be prepared."

Yun Changfeng said, "If there's anything you need, just ask."

He smiled and said, "The sect has accumulated many magic treasures and spiritual weapons over thousands of years. You can borrow them temporarily."

"Thank you, Master."

Gao Xian returned to his study in Xuan Du Peak and opened the jade slip to look through it.

This jade slip was given to him by Yun Changfeng. It contained various magic treasures and spiritual weapons of the sect, with detailed annotations on their ranks and characteristics.

Azure Cloud Sect had a long and profound heritage that had been passed down for thousands of years.

There were hundreds of Rank Three magic treasures and over a hundred spiritual weapons.

With so many magic treasures and spiritual weapons, even just reading the introductions would take a long time.

Yun Changfeng had said that as long as he needed them, he could borrow the magic treasures and spiritual weapons inside.

Of course, they wouldn't be used for free; they would consume his merit power.

Gao Xian stayed at home every day, only going to the Sword Hall to teach, in order to repay Yun Qiushui's 200,000 merit power.

He had no merit power at all and could only borrow temporarily. Fortunately, Yun Qingxuan and Yun Qiushui were wealthy, so he didn't have to worry about this aspect.

The sect also valued the Ninth Grade Five-colored Lotus Flower at ten million merit power, which was originally a good deal.

But this time, he had to go and snatch it himself, which made the price very unfavorable.

Gao Xian didn't negotiate the price. It wasn't the time to discuss these matters now.

After flipping through the jade slip, Gao Xian, despite having a powerful divine sense, felt dizzy and overwhelmed.

There were too many magic treasures and spiritual weapons, making it difficult to choose.

Moreover, more magic treasures and spiritual weapons didn't necessarily mean better. His Magical Robe was a set and the Ninth Grade Azure Lotus radiance it emitted was very useful.

The Magical Robe also resonated with the Azure Lotus Sword, so it was definitely not something he could replace.

After thinking it over, he realized that his inner armor was slightly lower in grade. In reality, the inner armor didn't have a significant effect; it was mainly used as a personal storage space.

Rank Three magic treasures and spiritual weapons couldn't be used immediately. He needed a long time to familiarize himself with the restrictions and characteristics of the magic treasures.

After considering it for a while, Gao Xian chose a Rank Three Low Grade spiritual sword called the Ice Soul Sword.

This sword was sharp enough and had a cold aura, making it very practical. It was mainly to equip his clone with a high-rank spiritual sword, which could deliver a fatal blow to the enemy at critical moments.

Spent one hundred thousand merits to exchange for the three-year permission to use the Frost Sword.

Gao Xian, who had no merits, was allowed by Yun Changfeng to owe him first. Gao Xian also bought three Foundation Establishment Pills on credit, to be given to Da Niu for his Foundation Establishment.

One Foundation Establishment Pill only costs five thousand merits, mainly because he is a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect and receives a huge discount.

The people from the Wanling Sect quickly left, and the alliance between the two sides was only limited to verbal promises, with no substantial progress.

Only when Wan Chang'an and Yun Changfeng reached an agreement would the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from both sides come forward to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens and establish the alliance.

The main reason for the lack of progress was that there were many differences in cooperation between the two sides, and neither was willing to compromise, making it impossible to reach a consensus.

Gao Xian had no interest in these sect affairs. It was not his responsibility to handle such matters.

Apart from attending classes at the Sword Hall, Gao Xian preferred to stay at home in Azure Cloud City.

Mainly because Azure Cloud City was lively and had everything to eat and play.

After Yun Qiushui reached the Golden Core stage, he often invited Gao Xian to drink and party. Fortunately, Gao Xian had some savings and could afford such expenses.

There were many people secretly watching Gao Xian, and they couldn't understand his thoughts when they saw him indulging in feasting and entertainment every day.

The Gold Core stage cultivator from the Moon Wheel Sect who stayed in Azure Cloud City was named Bai Ye. He was one hundred and sixty years old this year, with an ordinary appearance and cautious behavior.

Bai Ye changed his name and stayed in Azure Cloud City mainly to gather various information about the Azure Cloud Sect, with a focus on the alliance between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Wanling Sect, as well as the movements of Gao Xian, Yun Qiushui, and others.

It was an open secret in Azure Cloud City that Shui Yujun hated Gao Xian.

After various attempts, Bai Ye managed to contact the Shui family.

Bai Ye also learned about the Fiery Palace and the agreement between the Wanling Sect and the Azure Cloud Sect. He knew that Gao Xian was going to the Fiery Palace to obtain the Five-Colored Lotus Flower.

This was related to the alliance between the two sects and the relationship between Gao Xian and Yan Feiyin. It was undoubtedly extremely important news.

Bai Ye immediately transmitted the news back to the Moon Wheel Sect.

By the time Bai Zizhen received the news, it was already May.

The two sects were far apart and needed to keep it secret, so transmitting the news was extremely troublesome.

After receiving the news, Bai Zizhen was also pleasantly surprised. She found a way to meet Hua Qianhe from the Blood Divine Sect.

Hua Qianhe was at the late stage of the Gold Core realm and was already over seven hundred years old, nearing the end of his lifespan.

Because of this, he became more and more reckless in his actions and caused several major troubles within the Moon Wheel Sect.

If it weren't for the special relationship between the Blood Divine Sect and the Moon Wheel Sect, the sect would have taken action to eliminate this guy long ago.

Bai Zizhen was extremely disgusted with this person, but such an evil person also had his uses.

There was very little contact between the major sects, and communication was cut off.

Although Yan Feiyin made a name for herself in the Azure Cloud Sect, it was only limited to Azure Cloud City.

No one in the Moon Wheel Sect knew who Yan Feiyin was.

When Hua Qianhe heard that Yan Feiyin's spirit beast was a Three-Tailed Celestial Fox, he became very interested.

Bai Zizhen knew that this old cunning guy was difficult to deceive. She didn't need to deceive him either, she just explained the situation to him.

As for whether Hua Qianhe would take action or not, that was up to him.

For her, it was just a casual matter. If it succeeded, it would be good, and if it didn't, there would be no loss.

Hua Qianhe was extremely cunning and would naturally not tell Bai Zizhen about his plans and intentions.

After sending Bai Zizhen away, Hua Qianhe sent someone to investigate the situation, and sure enough, it was just as Bai Zizhen had described.

Hua Qianhe couldn't help himself. The cultivation of his "Blood Scripture" caused extreme damage to his body. He could only barely survive by crazily absorbing Blood Essence.

However, because he absorbed too much Blood Essence, he accumulated too much Killing intent, causing great damage to his body and soul.

He needed the Celestial Fox to resolve the Killing intent in his body.

He enjoyed the company of women because borrowing their power could alleviate some of his Killing intent. That's all.

Since he discovered the powerful spirit beast, the Three-Tailed Celestial Fox, he was willing to pay any price to obtain it.

Under normal circumstances, he could only barely survive for another two or three years, so he had nothing to worry about.

As for the Ninth Grade Five-Colored Lotus flower, although he didn't use it, he could exchange it for useful spiritual items and elixirs.

Hua Qianhe disguised himself and quietly arrived at Azure Cloud Sect.

For Devil Cultivators, disguising their identities was a necessary skill.

Hua Qianhe didn't stay in Azure Cloud City for long because it was too dangerous for Devil Cultivators with its array protection.

Using some means, he obtained the location of the Lihuo Underground Palace and quickly left Azure Cloud City...

In October, Gao Xian returned to Xuan Du Peak. He needed to prepare for the upcoming battle.

After accumulating for seven months, the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror had already accumulated five million Human Dao Spiritual Light.

Although Gao Xian was confident, he still needed to improve his combat power before entering the Lihuo Underground Palace.

Not to mention Yan Feiyin, the Lihuo Underground Palace itself was very dangerous.

Gao Xian's gaze fell on the Thirty-Sixth Stage of the Ice and Fire, consuming 1.26 million Human Dao Spiritual Light, directly raising this spell to the Great Master Returned to Origin Realm.

The Xuanbing Arrow and Lieyang Bullet also followed suit, reaching the Grandmaster realm.

The various essences of the changes in Ice and Fire Magic power naturally emerged in his mind.

Gao Xian spent several days and completely mastered the upgraded Thirty-Sixth Stage of Ice and Fire.

The most direct impact was that the power of the Xuanbing Arrow and Lieyang Bullet increased by 50%, and his control over the Ice and Fire Magic power became more precise.

At this point, both spells had reached the Rank Three level.

With their powerful force and instant consecutive release, these two spells had the potential to kill a Gold Core cultivator.

With nearly four million Human Dao Spiritual Light remaining, Gao Xian invested 1.5 million in the Taiji Profound Light Invisible Heavenly Robe, raising this secret technique to the Grandmaster realm.

The Taiji Profound Light Invisible Heavenly Robe, which combined offense and defense, was extremely important to him.

With 1.3 million Human Dao Spiritual Light remaining, he invested it all in the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel, raising this secret technique to the Proficient Realm.

Although the speed did not increase, it became easier to control the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel, and its defensive capabilities also greatly improved.

Coupled with the upgrade of the Taiji Profound Light Invisible Heavenly Robe, the defensive power of these two protective spells was comparable to a Rank Three Spiritual Weapon.

Because they were spells, even if they were destroyed, they could be activated again, making them more convenient and efficient than a Rank Three Spiritual Weapon.

Gao Xian practiced in the Heart and Mind Temple for over a month. Although there were no direct improvements in all aspects, his overall combat power had clearly improved, especially his ability to protect himself, which had greatly strengthened.

Sometimes, Gao Xian would think, with these Supernatural Power spells, how could he lose?!

On November 15th, Yun Qiushui led Gao Xian into the Lihuo Underground Palace...
