Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 528: A Sword Cuts Through the Mountains, a Moment of Beauty
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"

The sun at noon hung over Guwu Mountain, but it seemed to be covered by a layer of gray gauze. The pale halo sprinkled on the charred ridge, looking a little weird.

Not long after, four figures appeared not far from Guwu Mountain. These four people were none other than the Taoist swordsmen Zhao Yuzhen, Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, and Sikong Qianluo who had followed the trail to find them.

Zhao Yuzhen stepped on the peach wood sword, and the sword tassel with seven-star pattern moved without wind. Tang Lian and the other two behind him held their breath and concentrated - the dead trees along the way were twisted like ghost claws, there was not a single dead leaf on the branches, and even the wind was silent.

"Something's not right."

Zhao Yuzhen glanced around and found that there was no living creature near the mountain except for them. This strange situation made him feel alarmed.

Tang Lian and the others felt a little scared when faced with this situation. Fortunately, Zhao Yuzhen accompanied them on this trip, otherwise, if they encountered this situation, they would have already sent a message to Tianqi.

"This is??"

Sikong Qianluo picked up a handful of dirt with her silver spear. The fishy and rotten smell made her brows jump. The dirt was actually filled with deathly aura as sticky as ink, which stuck to the tip of the spear and made a tiny corrosion sound.

Seeing this situation, Sikong Qianluo raised her eyebrows, and a breath suddenly burst out from the tip of the gun, blowing all the dirt away. Tang Lian and Lei Wujie, who were standing beside her, also had complicated expressions in their eyes. They guessed that this situation was probably related to the ghost skills practiced by Gui Ya.

"It seems that we have found the right place, but this mountain is so large that it will be hard for us to search it in a short time, right?"

Sikong Qianluo glanced across the mountain, his expression somewhat heavy.

"The ground is unsuitable. I will use the sword-controlling technique. You will come with me."

Zhao Yuzhen made hand gestures, and the peach sword under his feet split into two, then into four, and then three more swords appeared under the feet of Tang Lian and the other two, which startled them.

"Come up!"

Zhao Yuzhen pointed at the peach sword hovering in the air and spoke.

Tang Lian and the other two looked at each other, and then Lei Wujie said, "Brother-in-law, can we do this?"

Zhao Yuzhen seemed to see the hesitation of several people, and then said: "It's okay. If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to succeed in flying the sword for the first time, but your cultivation has surpassed the sword fairy realm, and Lei Wujie has also entered the state of divine travel. The method of flying the sword may seem magical, but it is the same in different ways. With a little try, you will be able to do it smoothly."

"This peach sword of mine is imbued with Taoist magic and is supported by my true energy. If you are really not used to it, just treat it as a point of leverage in mid-air and perform Qinggong."

After hearing this explanation, Lei Wujie and the other two nodded. After some attempts, they were able to stay on the peach sword. Lei Wujie could even control the sword by himself, which made Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo envious.

With the help of the sword-controlling technique, the four of them took off directly into the air and began to search Guwu Mountain. Although Guwu Mountain was large, the four of them stood high and could see far. In less than an incense stick of time, they had locked onto a hill on the east side.

The top of the mountain seemed to have been licked by the fire of the underworld, and the charred rock walls were like the jagged spine of a giant beast, piercing up to the gray sky layer by layer.

The surface of the mountain was covered with spider-web-like cracks, and inky deathly air oozed from the cracks. It condensed into sticky droplets under the pale sunlight, slowly sliding down the stone edges, making tiny hissing sounds the moment it hit the ground, and corroding the already charred land into honeycomb-like holes.

A platform suddenly appeared on the mountainside, and the ground was covered with dark red gravel. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be countless broken nails and bone fragments of medicine men.

Behind the platform is a dark cave. Black fog emerges from the cave from time to time. When the mountain wind blows through the cave, it will immediately cause the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

“It should be here.”

Zhao Yuzhen's eyes were shining with golden light at this time, which was indeed the magical power of Taoism. Tang Lian and the other two looked at this place and felt very uncomfortable. It was because the ghost energy was too strong and suppressed the living beings.

"Brother-in-law, shall we go down?"

To be honest, they were somewhat reluctant to enter this kind of cave. It was pitch black inside the cave, and if the ghost crow had set up any traps, they would be in a rush. If they were caught by mistake, they would suffer even more. Zhao Yuzhen looked at this place, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Lei Wujie, you haven't used your full strength since entering the Divine Wandering Profound Realm, right?"

Lei Wujie was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what Zhao Yuzhen meant, but he still followed his heart and shook his head.

"Split it!"

Zhao Yuzhen pointed casually, and then Tang Lian and the other two were stunned.

"Open the mountain?"

It is true that they are young and do not have as much experience in the world as the older generation, but they are not stupid. Using manpower to open up the mountain, is this a joke?
Seeing that the others didn't believe him, Zhao Yuzhen first glanced at the cave. After seeing that there was nothing unusual in the cave, he sat directly on the peach sword and said, "The essential difference between the Wandering Mysterious Realm and the Free and Easy Heavenly Realm is that the Wandering Mysterious Realm can take advantage of the opportunity of the unity of heaven and man to borrow power from heaven and earth, so under the condition of extreme explosion, splitting a mountain with one sword is not a problem."

"Back then, Wushuang City Lord Song Yanhui and Yin Luoxia both performed such feats. It's not surprising that you have now reached the Mysterious Realm of Divine Wandering and can split a mountain with the power of heaven and earth."

Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo looked towards Lei Wujie with a burst of heat in their eyes. They had only heard of such legends in hearsay. If Lei Wujie could split a mountain with one sword today, it would surely be sung by the world.

"Then let me try?"

Lei Wujie rubbed his head, controlled the peach sword under his feet to move to the side, looked at the cave in front of him, and slowly drew out the heart sword from his waist.

"open!!"

A pillar of fire shot up into the sky. Lei Wujie's black hair fluttered in the wind, dyed colorful by the firelight. A phantom of a dragon appeared behind him. A scorching breath began to roll in the mountains. The dragon let out a long roar into the sky. The next moment, Lei Wujie's breath went straight into the realm of divine wandering.

"This is the Fire Burning Technique, Qionglong Realm."

There was a flash of surprise in Tang Lian's eyes. Logically speaking, Lei Wujie's time in trance could not be as long as Sikong Qianluo's, but she didn't expect that in the end he could find another way with this fire burning technique.

"The concept of a prairie fire."

Zhao Yuzhen narrowed his eyes and saw the essence of the artistic conception hidden in the Fire Burning Technique. The essence of the Divine Wandering in the Mysterious Realm is the understanding of the Tao. A single secret method could never achieve this. After the Fire Burning Technique broke through the Qionglong Realm, the power of the artistic conception contained in it was thoroughly stimulated. This was the key to Lei Wujie's ability to take the lead.

“Heaven and man are one.”

Afterwards, Zhao Yuzhen said again that Lei Wujie had a pure heart and it was not difficult for him to enter the state of unity between man and nature. It would be better to say that he had a potential for cultivation rather than a potential for swordsmanship. It was just a pity.

The surrounding vital energy began to fluctuate, and the dead energy entrenched in Guwu Mountain seemed to feel the threat and rolled endlessly.

Seeing the power of the Heart Sword growing stronger and stronger, to the point where it almost made people tremble with fear at the mere sight of it, Zhao Yuzhen flashed behind Tang Lian and Sikong Qianluo, and with a tap of his foot, the three of them leaped out.

"Who dares to ruin my business?"

A man in black robe who was practicing in the deepest part of the cave suddenly opened his eyes, shouted loudly, and a black air filled with hatred came out.

"It is indeed here."

"Take my sword!!"

"The moment of beauty!!"
