Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 356: Heavenly Sword Symbol

"Is it a matter of life and death for me?" Gao Xian probably understood what Xiao Hongye meant, and he smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Xiao Hongye felt a bright light in front of her. She didn't know what was shining, was it Gao Xian's neat white teeth? Or his star-like eyes? Or his handsome and unique face? Or perhaps all of them.

In the vast Heavenly Sword Sect, there are talented individuals like fish crossing the river.

However, Xiao Hongye had never seen such a handsome man like Gao Xian. Well, Yun Qiushui was even more beautiful, but he looked like a woman.

For her, the most important thing in a man is being strong enough. As for what his face looks like, it is secondary.

Yun Qiushui couldn't even defeat Han Chengzhen. No matter how handsome he was, she wouldn't be interested.

Gao Xian, who could kill Gui Wuqi, looked handsome no matter how you looked at him, making her unable to resist being a little moved.

If Gao Xian was from the same sect, she couldn't help but want to marry him. Unfortunately, unfortunately.

As the core true transmission of the sect, she would never marry a cultivator from an external sect. Even having an intimate relationship is a taboo.

Xiao Hongye knew this very well, but she couldn't help but take a few more glances at Gao Xian. He was really good-looking. Even when observing with Gold Core Divine Sense, she could only see Gao Xian's inner and outer purity, so charming.

Xiao Hongye was not an ordinary woman after all, and her momentary infatuation was immediately suppressed by her.

Sword cultivators are not without emotions and desires. Practicing the Sword of Severing Emotions and Cutting Desires like Gui Wuqi can only prove that Gui Wuqi is not confident in controlling his emotions, so he took a radical and evil path.

Gui Wuqi is an otherworldly sword, while she is an earthly sword.

Although the otherworldly sword is resolute, it is like abandoning one's nature and falling into evil. The earthly sword rolls and turns in the mortal world without getting lost, which is the true nature.

How can a sword cultivator be heartless? How can a heartless person love the sword!

It is precisely because of various entanglements of love and hate, joys and sorrows, that one can understand one's true nature and determine that the sword in one's hand is what one loves the most and the supreme sword path is what one yearns for the most.

Xiao Hongye has this kind of understanding. She never thought there was anything wrong with being attracted to Gao Xian, whom she had only seen once.

"Perhaps this person is the best whetstone for me, polishing my Sword Heart. If I can pass this test, I will definitely surpass Gui Wuqi!"

This sudden thought that Xiao Hongye had was like a flame igniting her heart, and her whole person seemed to be burning.

Decades of pure sword cultivation base, all because of this spark, burning fiercely.

She was not panicked, but rather somewhat delighted.

This was the liking that originated from her true heart, without any sense of coercion. Therefore, the purer her sword cultivation base became, the more difficult it was to suppress this burning desire.

Gao Xian across the way also noticed that something was off. How did Xiao Hongye's eyes suddenly become so passionate? He was too familiar with her.

Gao Xian didn't quite understand, "Is this woman suddenly feeling amorous? Does she really want to sleep with him?"

Xiao Hongye suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart. She had been practicing swordsmanship for too long and usually didn't take interest in anyone. But once her emotions were stirred, it was difficult to restrain them.

Having feelings and liking someone was one thing, but she wouldn't lose her rationality like a young girl just because of a thought. At least not yet.

She could be more devoted and serious, it needed to come naturally, not deliberately showing that affectionate appearance.

Xiao Hongye blushed and said softly to Gao Xian, "Perfected Being, your elegance is unparalleled, making it difficult for people to control their admiration. Please forgive me for any improper behavior."

Xiao Hongye's directness left Gao Xian unsure of what to say.

Fortunately, he was an expert in the realm of romance and flirtation. He smiled and said, "Seeing Perfected Being also brings me joy, as if it's a connection from a past life. But I dare not be presumptuous..."

Xiao Hongye couldn't help but smile. Gao Xian really knew how to talk and was very considerate. They both liked each other, without losing face.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Perfected Being, let's talk about business first."

Gao Xian said seriously, "I'm not joking."

Xiao Hongye explained with a hint of embarrassment, "I misspoke. I meant to say let's discuss the business matters first."

"Alright." Gao Xian was a bit confused by Xiao Hongye's approach. Was she using her beauty to seduce him before discussing business, making it easier to negotiate?

Xiao Hongye adjusted her emotions and said, "Perfected Being, let's have a duel tomorrow at noon. If you can give me a hard time, I will reward you generously."

Gao Xian had already guessed Xiao Hongye's intentions. He nodded and asked, "What do you mean by a generous reward, Perfected Being?"

When it came to emotions, things could be vague, but when it came to business, it had to be clear.

The fame of the Dual Sword Master had spread throughout the Qingyun Path. Even the Wanling Sect and the Moon Wheel Sect should have many people who knew of his reputation.

Gao Xian was a practical person. Losing to Xiao Hongye wouldn't matter much; it was just a reputation. But it had to be worth it.

Xiao Hongye said seriously, "I'll spare your life, fellow daoist. Is that enough?"

Gao Xian couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, that is definitely worth it. But how did you come by this life? Please enlighten me, fellow daoist."

"If I tell fellow daoist the information and you refuse to acknowledge it tomorrow, what should I do?" Xiao Hongye asked.

Gao Xian said leisurely, "I became the champion of the Qingyun Law Assembly, beheading a Gold Core Devil Cultivator with my Foundation Establishment cultivation. I defeated the Eternal Sword, which had no rival, at the celebration. This is how I have come this far without a single defeat, accumulating a bit of reputation."

"Fellow daoist wants me to give up a small bit of reputation with just a few words, but it puts me in a difficult position..." Gao Xian continued.

Xiao Hongye knew that Gao Xian wasn't exaggerating. The reputation of the Dual Sword Master was exceptionally prominent even in the Heavenly Sword Sect.

If it weren't for this, why would she come to make a deal with Gao Xian?

Xiao Hongye dared to come find Gao Xian, naturally she had made preparations in advance.

She said, "To show my sincerity, I will first tell fellow daoist the news."

Gao Xian was slightly surprised. Did this woman trust him so much?

He nodded and said, "I will never let fellow daoist suffer."

If this news was really worth his life, he would naturally give something in return.

Xiao Hongye was also straightforward. She said directly, "Guiwuqi will ambush fellow daoist at the Tianxiang Sword Palace."

Gao Xian showed a polite smile. This was already within his expectations. Xiao Hongye wasn't so naive. She must have thought that this news was valuable!

"They have the Tianxiang Sword Talisman, which can activate the restrictions of the Sword Palace."

Naturally, Xiao Hongye understood Gao Xian's meaning. She stated the most important point, "The power of the Sword Palace's restrictions reaches Rank Six, even the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor may not be able to break through the restrictions. All supernatural powers below Rank Six will be suppressed, including teleportation and substitution-type supernatural powers..."

Gao Xian was slightly surprised in his heart. Were these restrictions so overbearing?

He had the ability to instantly substitute and teleport, but he wasn't sure what rank these supernatural powers were and whether they would be suppressed by the Sword Palace's restrictions.

In fact, the core of these supernatural powers was the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror. Otherwise, how could the Great Principle Divine Transformation's clone technique condense a permanent clone? It would be too heaven-defying!

Gao Xian felt that the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror should be far above Rank Six, but he couldn't say for sure how high it was with his own insight.

However, this was just his judgment. Whether he could decipher the Tianxiang Sword Talisman was still uncertain.

Xiao Hongye's news was still quite valuable.

Gao Xian pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that I'm arrogant, even if it's a restricted space, Guiwuqi is not my opponent."

"The Tianxiang Sword Talisman can control the restrictions and limit your magic power to the Foundation Establishment level."

Xiao Hongye said, "This kind of victory is indeed a trick, but it can also cut through the heart barrier and allow Guiwuqi's sword technique to greatly improve."

"I see."

Gao Xian said sincerely, "Thank you for reminding me, fellow daoist. However, this is still not worth it."

Xiao Hongye was about to speak when she saw a golden halo silently rotating behind Gao Xian, and Gao Xian disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, Gao Xian had returned to his original position.

Xiao Hongye's powerful divine sense knew that Gao Xian had circled around the forest in an instant, coming and going in the blink of an eye.

But such a swift and agile escape technique had almost no sound. It showed Gao Xian's extraordinary control over the escape technique.

No wonder Guiwuqi suffered a miserable defeat. With this escape technique, Gao Xian could come and go freely, controlling the initiative in battle.

Xiao Hongye was a little puzzled. What did Gao Xian mean by suddenly revealing his escape technique?

Gao Xian leisurely said, "Fellow daoist, does the escape technique I used with Foundation Establishment magic power meet your standards?"

"Hmm? Ah!"

Xiao Hongye's beautiful face showed obvious doubt. She wasn't very sure what level of magic power Gao Xian had just used, but she could tell that Gao Xian hadn't used his full strength.

Xiao Hongye fell silent. Gao Xian's meaning was simple: he only had a Foundation Establishment cultivation base, and Guiwuqi couldn't touch him.

He was refusing to acknowledge the fight. No wonder Guiwuqi accused Gao Xian of being cunning and treacherous. It turned out to be true!

She was a little annoyed. This man not only used means against Guiwuqi, but also went back on his word as soon as they made a deal. He was really despicable. She even thought that Gao Xian was someone worth liking.

Gao Xian smiled and said, "I am a generous daoist. I can't let fellow daoist suffer. Let's share the spoils tomorrow. How about it?"

Xiao Hongye looked deeply at Gao Xian. She became calm again. It was meaningless to be angry with Gao Xian.

She fell silent for a moment and said, "If fellow daoist lets me make a move, I can share the Tianxiang Sword Talisman with fellow daoist. With this talisman, you can penetrate deep into the Sword Palace's Sun and Moon Palaces and have a chance to obtain the Tianxiang Sword Intent, an inheritance that has never been passed down..."

"Alright. I'll rely on fellow daoist then."

This time, Gao Xian readily agreed. He had a clone that could enter the Sword Palace, but he might not be able to reach the depths of the palace.

With Xiao Hongye leading the way, he could save a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Xiao Hongye was younger than him!

The Tianxiang Sword Palace opened once every sixty years, which meant that Xiao Hongye had never been inside the palace.

For Xiao Hongye, if she missed this opportunity, she would have to wait another sixty years. Xiao Hongye, as a person of her caliber, wouldn't waste sixty years just to harm him.

Xiao Hongye and Gao Xian reached an agreement. She felt a bit tired and felt that Gao Xian didn't look as good as before, nor did she like him as much...

Back in his room, Gao Xian pondered for a while. There shouldn't be any major problems with the whole thing.

He was just paying a nominal price, but he could gain the opportunity to enter the Sun and Moon Palaces of the Tianxiang Sword Palace. This was too rare.

Of course, Xiao Hongye could also be Guiwuqi's person, setting a trap for him.

In his opinion, this possibility was very slim. Xiao Hongye didn't have the ability to deceive his first rank Gold Core.

The clarity and mystery of the first rank Gold Core meant that a low-level Gold Core couldn't deceive him...
