Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 685 Yuanqing's Calamity Sword Resolves Difficulties (Continued)
Where the four seas meet, the tides rise and fall.

The scenic area of ​​Diao'aoji remains a place of beautiful mountains and rivers, imbued with Taoist charm.

However, Lin Xuanzhi was slashed by the "Youyuan" sword of the Yiyuan Tianqing Jiemie Dao Sword and fled in a sorry state, only then was he able to let the pure yang immortal sword relieve the bitterness and resentment that had accumulated in his heart for tens of thousands of years.

After all, anyone who is born with high expectations but suffers countless years of loneliness and neglect is bound to have some emotions.

Lin Xuanzhi suffered a bit of trouble because he only continued some of the karma of that Yi Xu Zhenjun from back then. He dared not imagine what would happen if Yuan Qing Jie Jian Zhen encountered the main characters.
Within the Dao Palace and Immortal Abode, the Yuanqing Tribulation Sword, having been released from its confinement, transformed into its true form as an immortal sword. It was a two-foot-four-inch long sword, seemingly both real and ethereal, enveloped in innate pure energy.

Every moment, the sword seemed to shift between illusion and reality, between the one and the myriad phenomena, revealing its sharpness amidst movement and stillness, containing the Dao of birth and death, and the ever-changing existence of all things.

Lin Xuanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "It is said that the Xuan Yang True Monarch of the Guangcheng Sect has already passed through the third level of tribulation. Not long ago, he also gained some good fortune in the underworld and slashed out a powerful avatar. His cultivation is unfathomable..."

"I am ignorant and have not heard much about Senior Zhu Xiao of the Jade Palace Sect."

"However, if you return to the temple, it would be fine to help you pursue one or two things. But with your current level, although you have the strengths of the three schools and have great potential, your strength is still far behind."

"If you want to dispel your sorrow, even if you refine your sword yourself for hundreds of thousands of years, you might not be able to catch up..."

Lingbao's cultivation speed is truly impressive, relying solely on their own refinement of restrictions and primordial spirits. Although the intervals between their tribulations are enviable, this is due to the nature of their growth.

Having traveled with Lie Zhenzi for many years, Yuan Qingjie Sword was naturally not a simple, sheltered person who never left his home. He understood the thoughts behind Lin Xuanzhi's words.

As a Xuanmen Immortal Sword jointly forged by the three Confucian masters, the Yuanqing Tribulation Sword never took ordinary, mediocre people seriously.

Although this person helped him escape the world and break free from the shackles of the world when he followed Lie Zhenzi, it was also because this rogue cultivator had an extraordinary foundation and temperament.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reincarnate into a primordial spirit multiple times, and twice even reached the upper realm of Yang spirit, with the potential to become a pure Yang spirit.

Now that Lin Xuanzhi, a direct descendant of Xuandu and a rising star on the verge of becoming a Yang God, has been sent to his side, and he has also inherited the karma of True Lord Yixu, Yuan Qingjie Sword, after venting his anger, also has the intention to go with the flow.

Ultimately, most lone spirit treasures don't fare very well, and even the most supreme spirit treasures often end up serving under Dao Lords or Dao Ancestors.

Yuan Qingjie Sword now thinks that he has returned to the orthodox sect of Xuanmen, which can also comfort Lie Zhenzi and make him no longer worry in the afterlife.

His mind was simple and straightforward, and he quite liked Lin Xuanzhi's mannerisms, so he took the initiative to say: "I can follow you. However, if you attain the Pure Yang Realm, you should bring me to visit and greet Xuan Yang and Zhu Xiao."

Lin Xuanzhi was not surprised, and simply smiled and said, "I can agree. But I'm afraid even if we join forces, we won't be able to cut down a Pure Yang who has passed through several levels."

"Moreover, we still need to confirm where that senior Zhu Xiao is now."

Yuan Qingjie said with certainty, "Back then, Zhu Xiao was the most outstanding sword immortal on Jin'ao Island. His temperament and talent far surpassed Yi Xuzi's. He might also undergo tribulation, but he must still exist in this world now."

"His cultivation level might not even be inferior to that of Daoist Xuanyang!"

The creation of the Yuanqing Tribulation Sword can be said to have been spearheaded and orchestrated by Master Zhu Xiao, who is also the one that the Legend of Sword and Fairy series "cherishes" the most.

Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Since you're so insistent, I'm naturally happy to oblige!"

"From now on, let us join hands and fight against evil to protect the righteous path."

As the Yuanqing Tribulation Sword emitted a series of buzzing sounds, its restrictions were lifted, allowing Lin Xuanzhi to begin refining it.

"And let's take down Zhu Xiao and Xuan Yang! Let them see the sharpness of the immortal swords we forged!"

Lin Xuanzhi's magical power continuously washed over the spiritual restrictions of the Yuanqing Tribulation Sword, and soon a mark was left on it, making it easy to use.

The spiritual restrictions are complex, and even True Immortals of the Yang God Realm often find it difficult to master all of them. Although Lin Xuanzhi believed he was somewhat superior, he still needed time to refine them.

But in that short time, Yuan Qingjie Sword had already sensed something was wrong.

Is this efficiency in controlling the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure really only that of a Second Calamity True Person?
With a clear ringing sound, the Yuanqing Tribulation Sword dispersed into a misty pure energy that flowed into Lin Xuanzhi's body, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

"The Pure Qi Transformation Technique? At this level, do you mean you need to refine the One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones at the Yang God Realm?!" The Immortal Sword knew that Lin Xuanzhi was not in his true form, but it was difficult to see through his true nature with just its divine sense.

Now that their pure energies are intertwined and closely connected, they suddenly understand the truth.

The second level of calamity pushed the Pure Qi Transformation Technique to such a level, and it is not a pipe dream to derive the "Three Pure Ones" before Pure Yang.

This is what Yixuzi and Xuanyang Daoren said in a casual conversation back then...

Lin Xuanzhi nodded calmly: "It's too early to say that one Qi transforms into three pure ones. At the very least, one must open up the ninth scene of Xuandu within the Purple Mansion at the Yang God level."

The spirit of the immortal sword remained silent for a moment: "The Great Luo Heaven of Primordial Chaos..."

"You possess boundless good fortune and outstanding merit; will you be the next abbot?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanzhi's expression changed drastically: "Retreat, retreat, retreat!"

"Don't talk nonsense about the Legend of Sword and Fairy! You mustn't spout lies!"

“Such high-ranking and prestigious positions are naturally handled by my family’s teachers and grandmasters.”

The Immortal Sword remained noncommittal, only saying, "What is the purpose of all your merits? If you cultivate more external virtues after achieving the Yang God status, perhaps you could withstand several layers of the Forty-Nine Realms with just the protective spell of the Exquisite Pagoda..."

Helping the Lord of Salvation from Suffering attain enlightenment and escape from Fengdu—how could the merit be small…?

Even if Lin Xuanzhi only managed to get a little bit, it was enough to make people envious.

It took some effort to recount the major and minor events of the past thousand years for the Legend of Sword and Fairy, which undoubtedly left the sword silent for a long time.

"It's so lively..."

"The grand ambitions of Daoist Zixia, Daoist Jiuku, and Daoist Miro..."

Lin Xuanzhi listened quietly to the Immortal Sword's sighs, but he silently felt that the fusion between the Pure Qi God and the Immortal Sword was very natural and mysterious, and the progress was remarkable. In just a short time, it was already able to exert extraordinary power!
It truly is a celestial sword that combines the strengths of three schools and aligns with the Xuandu Pure Qi lineage!

Since there was a lot of information, Lin Xuanzhi let the Immortal Sword digest it slowly, while he took a short stroll around Diao'ao Rock and paid special attention to the acquired spiritual treasure that the Immortal Sword had mentioned.

Of course, he also carefully memorized the celestial books and secret techniques left behind by Liezhenzi.

This master has mastered the Five Elements and the art of creation. The Heavenly Book points directly to Pure Yang, which he deduced and perfected on his own, but has not yet been fully verified.

Lin Xuanzhi discovered that Lie Zhenzi seemed to have observed the Five Elements Great Escape technique before. The traces of this supernatural power were obvious in the technique, and the Heavenly Book he created was of a very high level when combined with the principles of vitality and creation.

Aside from the Taoist arts and supernatural powers that are standardly present in the Heavenly Book, each of the Three Calamities Secret Arts is only one, and they are all commonplace.

The most important thing, of course, is the method of transforming into a sacred embryo. After silently calculating for a while, Lin Xuanzhi couldn't help but nod and smile.

Although this secret technique, as Lie Zhenzi said, requires someone who has mastered his Heavenly Book to master, Lin Xuanzhi also obtained a fragment of the Five Elements Great Escape manual. By comparing and contrasting the two, he can undoubtedly make this secret technique stand out.

Although it may have high requirements and be costly, the results are undeniable!
The waters at the edge of Diao'ao Rock seem to lead to the four seas, vast and calm, yet seemingly harboring some kind of crisis.

Lin Xuanzhi casually sat down cross-legged, waved his sleeve, and the Wangshu constellation hung high in the sky. Under the clear moonlight, a clear scene was reflected on the water.

Xu Xuan's figure appeared first, and then rapidly expanded from him as the center.

"hiss!"

In the sea area of ​​Cuixia Palace, Xu Xuan felt a burning sensation in his palm. The mark of the Six Paths Reincarnation Divine Power emitted a faint light before disappearing again.
