Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 354: The Way of the Heavenly Sword

The roaring gusts of wind and surging clouds filled the sky.

From a height of six thousand zhang, no living creatures could be seen, only the Qingmu Flying Ship sailing with the wind.

The two enormous cloud sails on the flying ship were both Rank Three Magical Items, capable of absorbing the dense Spiritual Qi in the gusts of wind and converting it into Magic power to propel the Qingmu Flying Ship.

This ingenious design also saved countless Spirit Stones.

Gao Xian stood beneath the fluttering giant cloud sails, observing the faintly visible runes on the sails with great interest.

In his opinion, the two cultivation techniques of artifact forging and formation arrays were extremely profound and possessed immense creativity.

The flourishing development of these two techniques allowed human cultivators to establish cities and sects, firmly establishing their foothold in this world.

Everything was built upon the application of runes, including talisman crafting and pill refining. Even the fundamental practice of cultivators, the condensation of Divine Sense into law runes, relied on runes.

With law runes as the core, cultivators could use Breathing Exercises to convert Spiritual Qi into Magic power.

From Qi Refining to Pure Yang, it was all the same.

Although sword cultivation and magic cultivation seemed different, they were essentially different applications of runes.

The Sword Intent of sword cultivators was actually the condensation of Divine Sense into special law runes through Sword Techniques, but its changes and variations were vastly different from those of magic cultivators.

It was similar to the modern industrial application of petroleum, which could be refined into gasoline, diesel, and used to produce plastics, clothing, and medicine, among countless other applications.

Cultivators followed the same principle, using runes to convert Spiritual Qi and control Magic power. After tens of thousands of years of development, numerous schools and lineages had been formed.

Long-distance travel was too boring, so Gao Xian had been pondering the Way of Runes these past few days. With his dialectical thinking from his previous life, he could barely understand the principles behind it.

However, understanding the principles was often easy.

It was like knowing that an atomic bomb utilized nuclear fission reactions of heavy atomic nuclei to release tremendous power, but he had no way of creating an atomic bomb.

Gao Xian sighed lightly and gave up on the idea of delving into the origins of runes.

The cultivation system in this world had taken thousands of years to accumulate. No matter how intelligent he was, he couldn't surpass the countless geniuses of this world.

His achievements today were not due to his high intelligence, but rather because of the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror.

So, it was better not to complicate things and just add some points using the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror.

Gao Xian returned to his own cabin, activated the protective formation array, and sank his consciousness deep into his sea of knowledge.

The last time he added points was two years ago when he raised the Qingmu Rejuvenation Art to the Great Master Returned to Origin Realm.

In the past two years, he had accumulated fifteen million Human Dao Spiritual Light.

Gao Xian felt that a part of this was thanks to the spread of the "Conferred Gods Record." After two years of dissemination, the "Conferred Gods Record" had gained considerable fame in the Eastern Wasteland.

Many Devil Cultivators saw the benefits and spontaneously helped him print and sell, which also made "Conferred Gods Chronicle" more and more famous.

Devil Cultivators and Monster Races are inherently lascivious, so "Conferred Gods Chronicle" naturally achieved good results.

Gao Xian even heard Devil Cultivators shouting, "I would rather bear the burden of the world!"

In addition to "The Legend of the White Snake" spreading outside of Wanfeng County, the monthly harvest of Human Dao Spiritual Light also steadily increased.

With fifteen million Human Dao Spiritual Light, the Tai Su Puppet God can be upgraded to the first level.

Gao Xian felt that the cost-effectiveness was not high. His Divine Sense was already powerful, far surpassing ordinary Gold Core cultivators by countless times.

After thinking about it, he decided to upgrade the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel. He was able to defeat Gui Wuqi, and the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel played a crucial role.

This escape technique not only had an incredibly fast speed, but the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel formed by celestial and terrestrial magnetism could also resist attacks and even transform into a light wheel to kill enemies.

However, with his numerous attack spells, he didn't need to use the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel to kill people.

Investing fourteen million Human Dao Spiritual Light, he raised the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel to the Master Realm.

The talisman representing the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel in Gao Xian's sea of consciousness shone brightly, and its structure became more complex and exquisite.

When the talisman of the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel stabilized, Gao Xian conducted experiments in the Heart and Mind Temple.

His speed increased by more than ten percent, and his maximum speed could reach eight hundred zhang per breath.

Converted into the units he was accustomed to, it was one thousand two hundred meters per second. This speed was faster than the muzzle velocity of a heavy sniper rifle bullet.

The key was that Gao Xian could change direction at will at such high speeds, and even fly in reverse.

By fully activating the Thunder and Lightning Law, he could further increase his flying speed.

Gao Xian felt that within the Gold Core Realm, no one should be able to catch up to him.

As for the Nascent Soul True Monarch, that level was too high. He didn't know much about it, so he couldn't draw any conclusions.

With the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel in the Master Realm, its defensive capabilities increased by five to six times. Ordinary Rank Three spells and magical items would not be able to break through the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel.

The cutting ability of the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel also significantly increased. When activated, it emitted a sharp platinum light wheel with tremendous power.

The geomagnetic power contained in the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel allowed it to easily penetrate the ground and attack enemies hidden underground.

It could also be used by Gao Xian to burrow underground, displaying exceptional versatility.

Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this. This secret technique gave him extraordinary maneuverability. Even in a small area, he could move freely, making it impossible for enemies to touch his edges.

Not to mention the increased power of a sword strike while in high-speed state.

After studying in the cabin for more than ten days, Gao Xian completely mastered the Master Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel. He couldn't help but want to find someone to test his sword skills.

After informing Yun Qiushui, Gao Xian controlled the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel and left the Qingmu Flying Ship.

The Qingmu Flying Ship could fly a thousand li in an hour, but his speed was sixteen times faster than the Qingmu Flying Ship. It was easy to catch up to the Qingmu Flying Ship.

Gao Xian descended in the sky for a while and soon encountered dozens of fierce crows.

These crows had a wingspan of more than three feet, and their feathers were as black and shiny as iron. Dozens of giant black crows gathered together, cawing and making a chaotic noise that made people dizzy, suffocated, and extremely annoyed.

The crows seem to have a strong territorial awareness, or perhaps they see Gao Xian as food. As soon as they spot Gao Xian's trace, they fly over screeching.

Gao Xian suddenly accelerates, and under the propulsion of the platinum light wheel behind him, he pierces through the crow flock like a phantom.

He doesn't need to do anything himself; the high-speed impact of the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel shreds dozens of crows to pieces.

In the long trailing platinum light rainbow, broken black feathers scatter in the air.

Dozens of zhang away, Gao Xian turns around gracefully. Just as he expected, the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel's high-speed impact has terrifying power.

Descending in altitude, Gao Xian shuttles through the mountains and forests at high speed.

It turns out that the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel has extremely strong protective capabilities. When encountering obstacles such as trees and rocks, the rotation of the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel shreds these obstacles, without affecting his flight at all.

However, flying like this creates a grand spectacle, with cracked stones and broken trees in its wake, and dust covering the ground.

Following the Spiritual Qi, Gao Xian finds a Rank Three demonic tiger in the mountains and flies over at high speed. With a light stroke of his sword, the demonic tiger's head flies off.

Putting the demonic tiger into a storage talisman, Gao Xian returns to the flying ship.

He finds a cultivator skilled in cooking and makes a large pot of tiger meat, as well as tiger whip soup, treating Yun Qiushui and Lu Jingxu to a feast.

This time, Lu Jingxu is in charge of leading the team. He is good at handling miscellaneous tasks and has a good temper, making him skilled at dealing with people.

Therefore, having Lu Jingxu lead the team is also to maintain a good relationship with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

It must be said that the tiger whip of the Rank Three demonic tiger is truly nourishing, not to mention the various Spirit Medicines added to it.

Gao Xian can't sleep well, so he thinks of Li Feihuang who is staying in the cabin below.

Li Feihuang also signed up for this trial to hone her Sword Technique. As a true disciple of Lu Jingxu, it wasn't difficult for her to get a spot.

Gao Xian activates the invisible Taiji Profound Light Heavenly Robe and quietly goes to Li Feihuang's room.

"Ah!"

There is someone in the room, and Li Feihuang is startled. When she sees that it's Gao Xian, she suddenly relaxes.

She is somewhat happy in her heart, but her face slightly wrinkles, "Perfected Being Gao, why are you sneaking around in the middle of the night?"

Gao Xian is very familiar with Li Feihuang, and he says seriously, "How is the posture and technique I taught you last time? I came to check..."

Li Feihuang blushes when she hears Gao Xian's straightforward words. He also grabs her delicate hand, and somehow her body feels a bit weak...

For the next few days, Gao Xian stays in Li Feihuang's room, teaching her Sword Technique every day.

The Fire Phoenix Spirit Body is indeed extraordinary, not inferior to ordinary ones. Only Yan Feiyin can surpass her.

The originally dull and boring journey is now filled with countless joys.

The Green Wood Flying Ship flies day and night for more than forty days until mid-September when it finally arrives at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Following the naming convention of the sect, the main peak where the Heavenly Sword Sect is located is named Heaven-Connecting Peak.

This peak is over ten thousand zhang high, with half of it piercing into the sky, giving the impression of connecting heaven and earth, majestic and magnificent.

It can truly be called "Heaven-Connecting Peak".

The Green Wood Flying Ship landed halfway up the mountain, and Zhong Ziqi, with his white hair and youthful appearance, led several Gold Core Perfected Beings and a group of disciples to greet them.

As the team leader, Lu Jingxu took the initiative to step forward and exchange pleasantries with everyone.

Gao Xian and Yun Qiushui followed behind Lu Jingxu, not saying a word, just smiling.

Zhong Ziqi's gaze swept over Gao Xian, his eyes somewhat cold. He didn't expect Gao Xian to actually come. This kid really dares!

The other Gold Core cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect, including numerous disciples, all had their eyes on Gao Xian.

Even though Yun Qiushui, who stood beside them, was exceptionally handsome and dressed in white, no one paid him any attention.

Everyone was curious about Gao Xian. They all wanted to see this person who could defeat the Eternal Sword.

Gao Xian smiled gracefully at everyone, paying no attention to their scrutinizing and malicious gazes.

Among this group of people, there was a woman in a red dress who was exceptionally beautiful, with a graceful figure and eyes as clear as water, exuding a gentle and generous temperament.

Among the group of cold and sharp sword cultivators, this woman in red dress stood out. Gao Xian also felt somewhat interested.

But he was a serious person and only took a few more glances.

Zhong Ziqi and Lu Jingxu exchanged a few casual pleasantries before letting the disciples lead Lu Jingxu and his group to the lower courtyard to rest.

The Heavenly-Connecting Peak was divided into three courtyards: upper, middle, and lower. There were tens of thousands of disciples in the lower courtyard alone, so it was not difficult to arrange for a few hundred people to rest.

Zhong Ziqi disliked Gao Xian and didn't have a good impression of the Azure Cloud Sect, so naturally he wouldn't arrange a good place for them.

Watching the Azure Cloud Sect group walk away, the beautiful woman in red dress, Xiao Hongye, asked, "Is that young man in the green robe Gao Xian?"

Zhong Ziqi nodded solemnly, "Perfected Being Xiao, it is him."

Xiao Hongye smiled lightly, "This person is handsome and generous. It's hard to imagine that his Sword Technique is so powerful."

No one from the Heavenly Sword Sect dared to speak. Despite Xiao Hongye's gentle and generous appearance, her status in the sect was even higher than Gui Wuqi's. It was said that her Sword Technique was also extremely exquisite, not inferior to Gui Wuqi's.

Zhong Ziqi forced a laugh, "Gao Xian is indeed talented. But this person is cunning and ruthless. It is said that he also lusts after women. He is not a good person!"

Xiao Hongye pondered for a moment and said, "He injured Junior Brother Wuqi and still dares to come to our sect. This person is arrogant. Arrange for me to experience his Sword Technique tomorrow."

"Perfected Being Xiao, please think twice," Zhong Ziqi said anxiously. If Xiao Hongye were to be killed by Gao Xian, not only would Gao Xian be in trouble, but he would be in even bigger trouble.

"Are you afraid that I will be killed by him?" Xiao Hongye said softly. "If I don't make a move, this person will think that our sect is weak. How can we retreat from this matter?"

In the end, her voice remained gentle, but there was an unwavering determination in it.

Zhong Ziqi's face was filled with a difficult expression. They had already prepared a meticulous plan to deal with Gao Xian. If Gao Xian dared to come, he shouldn't even think about leaving.

Xiao Hongye's sudden decision left him at a loss...
