Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 361: Immortal Couple

In the distance, waterfalls rushed down from the high mountains, resembling giant white ribbons hanging from the mountaintops.

The waterfalls flowing down along the mountain formed natural small lakes in the mountain hollows, like water mirrors embedded in the mountains.

The lakes, reflecting the vibrant autumn colors of the surrounding mountains under the morning sunlight, were filled with hues of red, yellow, green, and blue, creating a bright and ethereal scene.

Birds flew gracefully above the forest, while monkeys and squirrels played and frolicked among the branches.

Occasionally, white deer, antelopes, wild boars, and other animals came to the lakeside to drink water, noticing a large unfamiliar object by the lake.

They kept their distance and observed this strange thing that they didn't know what it was.

Xiao Hongye gently lifted a corner of the tent door curtain, curiously observing the small animals by the lakeside.

Having practiced swordsmanship for over thirty years, she had never experienced such a relaxed and leisurely time.

Even ordinary white deer and wild boars fascinated her. Of course, it was also because her heart was filled with tenderness and sweetness, making everything she saw beautiful and good.

This place was thousands of miles away from the entrance of the Heavenly Sword Sect, already outside the range of the Heavenly Sword Sect's formation.

In this kind of place, she completely let go of her body and mind, enjoying the sweetness with Gao Xian.

For the first time in her life, she liked someone so much, and the other person didn't disappoint her affection.

After a few days, she had already gotten used to being inseparable from him.

This fulfilling and happy feeling seemed to satisfy her more than achieving success in swordsmanship, making her like it even more.

Looking at the picturesque scenery outside, she couldn't help but have a thought: to spend her life with this man in the mountains and forests, becoming an immortal couple, would be wonderful.

Gao Xian gently embraced Xiao Hongye's slender waist and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I suddenly discovered the unique scenery between the mountains and forests that I hadn't noticed before."

Xiao Hongye hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't tell Gao Xian about the thought that had arisen in her heart.

Both Gao Xian and she had hopes of achieving Nascent Soul cultivation, and being an immortal couple was indeed carefree, but it was difficult to obtain enough resources.

Without the support of a sect, it would be extremely difficult to cultivate alone and achieve the Infant Transformation stage.

She was willing to accompany Gao Xian like this until old age, but she was afraid that Gao Xian wouldn't want to.

Naturally, Gao Xian couldn't guess Xiao Hongye's thoughts. He pulled her into his embrace.

Xiao Hongye's face turned slightly red. "You're seriously injured, so rest well."

"It's precisely because I'm seriously injured that I need dual cultivation to recover. Hongye, come and assist me in cultivation..."

Gao Xian said with a smile, and Xiao Hongye wanted to say something but couldn't say it...

Outside, the autumn colors were rich and beautiful, while inside the tent, the air was filled with the feeling of spring.

The two of them had been lingering by the lake for more than twenty days. It was about time to calculate the time, so they set off to return to the entrance of the Tianxiang Sword Palace.

As they were getting closer, Gao Xian gently pinched Xiao Hongye's face and said, "Conceal the spring-like expression on your face, don't let others see."

Xiao Hongye couldn't help but glare at Gao Xian, but the lingering spring-like expression in her eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

Gao Xian felt his heart warm again as he looked at her. Xiao Hongye was also a treasure of a beauty. She appeared slender and delicate, but she had substance.

She may not be as stunning as Li Feihuang or as charming as Yan Feiyin, but she excelled in her tenderness and devotion to him.

Such intense feelings even surpassed those of Qi Niang and Yu Ling. Qi Niang was stable and reliable, but she was too calm. Yu Ling was passionate, but she was too clever.

Xiao Hongye was not unintelligent, she just didn't use her intelligence on him.

In just over twenty days, Gao Xian had truly developed feelings for Xiao Hongye.

He didn't think of himself as scum, he was just passionate. Whenever he encountered a good person, he couldn't help but feel joy.

Encountering someone like him was always a wonderful thing. How could it be said that he was scum!

Gao Xian gently embraced Xiao Hongye, and she held onto him tightly. When the time came to part, she became even more reluctant.

She couldn't help but say, "Xian Ge, let's go together..."

"Silly child, our future is bright and promising. What's the point of running away?" Gao Xian said seriously.

"Don't forget the Great Dao because of temporary pleasure. When we achieve the Nascent Soul stage, who dares to stop us, who can stop us?

"At that time, we will walk side by side on the Great Dao, and this love will continue to shine even after a thousand years..."

Xiao Hongye fell silent and nodded vigorously. What Xian Ge said was right, walking side by side on the Great Dao was the true romance and love.

"After we return, don't pay attention to Gu Wuqi, and there's no need to report him," Gao Xian said.

A cold and stern look appeared in Xiao Hongye's eyes. She detested Gu Wuqi and felt annoyed whenever his name was mentioned.

She hesitated and said, "Isn't this letting him off too easily?"

Plotting against fellow disciples was a serious offense. If she went back and reported him to the sect, it would definitely make Gu Wuqi suffer.

Gao Xian reminded Xiao Hongye, "A weak cultivator won't earn the admiration of the strong."

He paused and continued, "Besides, this kind of conflict is not suitable for public exposure. Give me a few years, and I will deal with Gu Wuqi."

"Hmm?" Xiao Hongye was surprised. "Don't act recklessly within the sect."

Gao Xian smiled and said, "I can let it go if Gu Wuqi harms me, after all, we have a grudge. But if he dares to harm you, I won't spare him.

"After dealing with Gu Wuqi, you will have one less competitor. No matter how your ancestors view it, they will lean more towards you in the future."

However, Xiao Hongye was somewhat worried. If Gao Xian revealed himself in the Heavenly Sword Sect, things would become troublesome.

By then, even Yun Zaitian might not be able to protect Gao Xian.

"You don't need to worry about this, I'll take care of it, you can rest assured." Gao Xian already had a plan, but it wasn't convenient to explain it too clearly to Xiao Hongye.

They discussed the details of communication and then went their separate ways.

Gao Xian first went to the entrance of the Tianxiang Sword Palace, where most of the Azure Cloud Sect cultivators had already returned.

No one could say for sure if there would be any unexpected events within the thirty-day deadline. Therefore, they definitely had to come out a few days in advance.

Lu Jingxu brought a large group of disciples and set up a bunch of temporary tents, occupying a corner of the valley.

Most of the Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators had also come out. They were close to their sect, and the disciples who came out had already taken the flying ships back to the sect.

There weren't too many Heavenly Sword Sect sword cultivators left in the valley.

Gao Xian saw Zhong Ziqi, but didn't see Gui Wuqi. That guy must have already returned to the sect.

Zhong Ziqi also saw Gao Xian, his gaze was somewhat complicated, but he didn't say anything to greet him.

Gao Xian knew that this guy was with Gui Wuqi's group, but he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. He went straight to the Azure Cloud Sect camp.

When Lu Jingxu saw Gao Xian return, he looked surprised, "I thought you would stay a few more days?"

"No need."

Gao Xian casually asked, "Brother Yun hasn't come back yet?"

"Mm."

Lu Jingxu wasn't very worried about this. Although Yun Qiushui was indulgent and willful, he wouldn't do anything foolish.

Gao Xian had been busy for more than twenty days and was a bit tired now. He told Lu Jingxu and went to use his tent to rest.

When he rested, both of his clones would rest at the same time, which allowed him to truly relax.

After lying down for two days, Yun Qiushui finally returned.

When the golden passage of the Tianxiang Sword Palace was closed and the Azure Cloud Sect counted their people, they found that seventeen people were missing.

Needless to say, these people had accidents inside the Sword Palace.

With a loss of about three percent, both Lu Jingxu and Yun Qiushui considered this trip a success.

The trial in the Tianxiang Sword Palace was definitely dangerous, whether it was the Sword Order of the palace itself, ambushes and schemes by others, or even being secretly attacked by fellow sect members, it was hard to say.

Before participating in the trial, the sect had already clearly stated the risks involved.

The people of the Azure Cloud Sect didn't return to the Heaven-Connecting Peak, they directly took the Qingmu flying ships back.

When they left, Gao Xian didn't see Xiao Hongye either. It seemed that she had already returned to the Heaven-Connecting Peak.

In this trial, he didn't gain much. However, he did gain a beautiful woman.

Furthermore, his Primordial Spirit clone was left in the Tianxiang Sword Palace.

The best news is that Gao Xian can still control the Primordial Spirit clone with the Ruyi Scepter.

Gao Xian also knows that this is very dangerous. If the Heavenly Sword Palace is closed and he is cut off from controlling the clone, then the permanent clone will be finished.

Fortunately, the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror is powerful, and even through the secret realm Grotto-Heaven, he can still control the clone with the Ruyi Scepter.

After the closure of the Heavenly Sword Palace, the originally distinct Ninth Stage palaces have changed.

The Sun, Moon, and Stars palaces remain unchanged, but their power is gradually dissipating. The Wind, Cloud, Rain, Snow, Thunder, and Lightning palaces are slowly integrating.

Originally, the four Sword Spirits of the Wind, Cloud, Rain, and Snow were relatively weak. After the integration, the power of these four Sword Spirits is gradually increasing.

Through the Primordial Spirit clone, Gao Xian can clearly feel this change. He estimates that within twenty years, there will be a major change in the Heavenly Sword Palace.

By that time, I'm afraid no one will be able to survive inside.

This change also has a benefit, which is that the power of the Sun, Moon, and Stars palaces will temporarily continue to decline.

Gao Xian stayed in the Sun Palace for a while and roughly looked at the nine inherited Sword Steles.

Indeed, the nine Sword Steles have the Sword intent of the Wind, Cloud, Rain, Snow, Thunder, Lightning, Sun, Moon, and Stars, and the Sword Steles are also the core of the Heavenly Sword Palace.

All changes in Sword intent, including changes in the Sword Palace, are led by the nine Sword Steles.

The Sword intent within the Sword Steles is exceptionally profound. Even if a cultivator is a genius, they can only learn one or two Sword intents within thirty days.

With the Primordial Spirit clone staying inside, there is time to calmly learn. Perhaps there is a chance to learn all nine inherited Sword intents.

On the way back to Azure Cloud Sect, Gao Xian has been pondering the various changes in the Heavenly Sword Palace.

This time, the Primordial Spirit clone brought the Magical Robe and the sword, but most importantly, it brought the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag and the White Jade Calabash.

After several experiments, Gao Xian found that the White Jade Calabash and the Sword Spirits of the Heavenly Sword Palace are very compatible.

The nine Sword Spirits naturally absorb the Golden Divine Light within the Calabash. When the Sword Spirits have absorbed the Golden Divine Light, they can be absorbed by the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag.

This way, the speed of refining the Golden Divine Light is increased by dozens of times. Moreover, it allows the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag to obtain the Sword intent of the Sword Spirits.

In this way, not only can the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag be refined, but also Sword intent can be obtained, achieving two goals at once.

Back at Azure Cloud Sect, Gao Xian also greatly reduced his participation in banquets and entertainment, and most of his energy was devoted to the Primordial Spirit clone.

After three years of tempering, all the Golden Divine Light has been absorbed and integrated by the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag, directly upgrading it from a Rank Three Spiritual Weapon to a Rank Four Spiritual Weapon.

The White Lotus Golden Divine Flag has also integrated the nine Sword intents and gained Transcendent spirituality.

The Primordial Spirit clone constantly refines the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag day and night, and has established a perfect connection with the spirit of the artifact.

Although he only has a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Base, he can still control the Rank Four Spiritual Weapon, the Ruyi Scepter, through the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag.

Through the White Lotus Golden Divine Flag, Gao Xian broke through the Great Sun Divine Light and arrived at the center of the Sun Palace, in front of the nine Sword Steles...
