I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 311: The sword ape carrying its master, an unexpected event occurs!
The Yunmeng Lake is hundreds of thousands of miles long and wide, with the outer area being the most vast. It is unknown how many shallows and monster islands there are, and how many monsters and wandering cultivators are practicing there.

To the west of the Great Lake, after crossing a shallow beach of endless reeds, there are nine sacred peaks rising from the ground like sword tips. The cliffs are so steep that it is difficult for birds to fly over.

The spiritual energy of these nine sacred peaks is not very strong, but the terrain is unique. There is sharp and dazzling sword energy in every rock, rising straight into the sky.

Thousands of rocks crisscross each other, and in a trance, the sword energy forms a net, which seems to have formed a natural sword energy formation, guarding the sacred peak.

And in this sacred peak, silver-backed apes were jumping around, playing and frolicking, looking very happy.

These are the unique creatures in Lingfeng, sword apes!

Apes are human-like, with healthy limbs and the ability to walk upright. After living and breeding for many years in these unique sacred peaks, every sword ape can perform impressive swordsmanship.

The sword apes above the big monsters have both the ferocity of the monster bodies and the agility of swordsmanship. Their strength is extraordinary. Within thousands of miles, almost no one can provoke this group of sword apes.

At this moment, outside the shortest spiritual peak in the west, a ray of lightning smashed into countless clouds and came at a very fast speed.

This escape light was not concealed at all and was very generous. Naturally, it could not be hidden from the sword ape guarding the mountain in the sacred peak.

"Go and report to the king!"

In the sacred peak, an ape demon shouted urgently.

Then, a monkey figure leaped across the cliffs and quickly reached the top of the mountain. It shouted urgently at a cave entrance sealed by a huge rock on the top of the mountain:

"My Lord, my Lord, a handsome Jindan cultivator has come from outside the peak. His aura is very strong. The Second General cannot see through his true colors and does not know whether he is a friend or an enemy!"

Inside the cave entrance sealed by a huge rock, an old ape with gray hair and white eyebrows hanging down to his chin was sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating.

Hearing this, it suddenly opened its eyes, and a bright sword light flashed in its eyes. In an instant, the void turned white, and the illuminated cave was as bright as day.

Then, a strong and sharp divine thought emerged from its sea of ​​consciousness, rising far away like a sharp sword, sweeping in all directions and exploring outside the peak.

Outside the sacred peak, under the floating clouds, a young Taoist with his hair tied up in a green hairpin and long fluttering sleeves was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the sacred peak standing like a sword tip under his feet with great interest.

As if sensing the divine consciousness's investigation, the Taoist turned around and looked towards the top of the mountain.

In an instant, two bright moons seemed to rise in the Taoist's eyes, with bright moonlight and unparalleled brilliance, and a divine thought even more surging than the old ape's surged out.

The old ape quickly closed his eyes and withdrew his spiritual thoughts, but even so, he still suffered a loss and groaned in the cave.

But it did not dare to delay and quickly stood up. Countless sword qi flowed under its feet, stimulating the natural sword formation in the spiritual peak. In an instant, countless sword qi surged up and formed a huge sword qi skynet outside the spiritual peak, covering the sky.

"Don't panic, fellow Daoist. I am not here to destroy the island and slay the monster. I am only here to seek an opportunity!"

At this moment, a hearty voice was heard outside Lingfeng.

"Chance?!"

The old ape's heart moved, and he walked out of the cave, standing on a huge rock on the top of the peak, facing Gu Yuan from a distance, and asked in a deep voice: "My spiritual peak has thin spiritual energy, and there are no natural treasures. How can I give you the opportunity? Please leave quickly!"

"This opportunity is not something external, but comes from fellow Taoist!"

Gu Yuan smiled with his hands behind his back.

He was originally curious about how his sword skills could be improved by traveling around the Nine Islands, but now, looking at the peculiar terrain of the Nine Peaks and the sword apes in the peaks, he suddenly felt something.

The sword peak in front of me looks like a flaming mountain, the sword light in the stone is as bright as gold, and the old ape born in this era has golden light in his eyes, like the sun, obviously not an ordinary creature.

If I could defeat the old ape and then enter this mountain to comprehend the sword stone, I'm afraid I would be able to take the Qianyang sword technique to a higher level.

The nine sacred peaks just happen to be the nine sword techniques.

After gaining the enlightenment from Lingfeng, finding the sword order, entering the Liangyi Secret Realm, and obtaining the final chapter of the sword technique, that will be the day when the sword technique is perfected.

The art of swordsmanship is both participation and fighting, neither of which can be missing.

The sword apes among these nine islands are an important part of the "sword fight" and are part of the trial.

"Are you here to look for the Sword Order? Do you have any proof?"

When the old ape heard this, his heart moved and he asked.

Gu Yuan did not hide it either. With a wave of his sleeves, the gray animal skin map appeared in front of the old ape.

“It really is a map!”

"The destined person has finally arrived!"

The old ape looked at it for a long time before showing a look of surprise. But in the blink of an eye, it showed a helpless bitter smile:

"Unfortunately, you are too late. The sword order is no longer with me. Even if you defeat me, you will not be able to enter the Liangyi Secret Realm..."

After hearing this, Gu Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

"The sword stones of the nine spiritual peaks were born with infinite sword power, but we apes are not so smart that we can comprehend the inner law. Later, a human cultivator enlightened us, which enabled us to embark on the path of cultivation and become the sword ape clan."

"We are grateful for his kindness, and we are willing to protect the sword order and wait for the destined person holding the map."

"It's just that two hundred years ago, a strange creature appeared in my Sword Ape Clan. It stole the sword orders of the other eight islands and hid them on its body. There are no sword orders left in my spiritual peak any longer."

The old ape smiled bitterly.

Just as the man and the ape were talking, an extremely swift ray of light suddenly shot out from the sacred peak below and rushed towards a sword peak in the distance.

This light was so swift that it was beyond words. The Jindan cultivators could not stop it, but it escaped in an instant. Upon seeing this, the old ape's expression changed drastically, and he urged Gu Yuan: "Not good, my sword peak has really been infiltrated by it. Leave quickly, otherwise your life will be in danger!"

But Gu Yuan did not move, and only asked: "Is this Lingguang passed on to the ungrateful ape monster?"

"Not bad, not bad. That alien has a very high talent for cultivation and has also learned the magic method. It is not bound by oaths and has great ambitions. You are alone and are no match for it. Leave quickly!"

The old ape looked panicked and urged Gu Yuan again.

But Gu Yuan remained motionless.

"Old Ape, since the descendants of our benefactor are unwilling to leave, why are you urging them to leave?"

At this moment, a sword light shot out from a distance, like lightning, and arrived in front of Gu Yuan in an instant.

The sword light dissipated, revealing a giant ape about ten feet tall, with a silver back and golden eyes. On his back was a gray sword box, inside which were nine chilling spiritual swords.

The sword ape's aura was deep and solid, and it was obvious that he had reached the peak of the middle stage of the Great Demon Realm. His eyes were mysterious and bright, and a surge of soul power seemed to be overflowing from him, filled with an oppressive force.

Not only that, there is also a green compass on his waist, and inside the compass, nine palm-sized sword-shaped tokens are embedded tightly.

The monkey's magic power was activated, the compass trembled, and a dark light shot out, suddenly pointing to the animal skin map in the air.

Seeing this, the monkey's eyes lit up with joy, and then he looked up at Gu Yuan, bowed and saluted, and shouted: "Sword Ape Clan, Jian Tiangang, greets the descendant of the benefactor!"

"Benefactor? Do you still recognize me as your Benefactor?"

Seeing his respectful attitude, Gu Yuan did not attack him for a moment, but just asked in a low voice.

According to Master Shenyi, the opportunity to enter the Yin-Yang Secret Realm was discovered and left behind by a senior of the Qianlang Sect thousands of years ago. The Nine Island Demon Clan was all enlightened by him with the purpose of testing the younger generations of the Qianlang Sect.

The key to open the secret realm is on the animal skin map. Only by holding the map and gathering nine sword orders can the secret realm be opened.

The Sword Ape Clan is bound by an oath, so this trip shouldn't involve too many risks.

But now I don’t know what to do?

"My benefactor, your kindness in enlightening us, the Sword Ape Clan, will never forget it. I have prepared a spiritual wine banquet in my mansion, and I invite your descendants to join us."

The ape demon bowed and invited Gu Yuan.

"Forget about taking the seat. Why did you plunder all nine sword orders?"

Gu Yuan asked calmly.

Hearing this, the ape demon straightened his body and looked at Gu Yuan with a burning gaze, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "What the benefactor said back then was not for us to hand over the sword order."

"If you are not strong enough, you are not worthy of inheriting the Yin-Yang Sword Seal!"

“Even the destined person holding the map must pass through the nine islands and defeat us with the nine sword techniques before he can get the sword order!” “I am not talented, but I have already mastered the nine sword techniques. So you don’t need to pass through the islands one by one. You only need to defeat me to get the nine sword spirit orders!”

"Wouldn't it be more convenient this way?"

As he spoke, the ape demon smiled and said casually, "However, if you lose, please give the map of the secret realm to someone who is destined to receive it!"

Gu Yuan had a guess in his mind after hearing this, and asked with a chuckle: "Then the destined person, could it be you?"

"Xiaoyuan has already defeated Yashima, and his talent in swordsmanship is beyond doubt. If he can defeat you again, wouldn't that mean he is the destined one?"

The ape demon took over the conversation and spoke seriously.

"A person who betrays his master dares to claim that he has a connection with me? How shameless!"

Gu Yuan said in a cold voice.

He was supposed to pass through these nine islands one by one and gradually increase the intensity of the trial. But now, this ape monster suddenly appeared and fought with nine orders. It was obvious that he was sure that Gu Yuan had not experienced the comprehension of the nine islands and his swordsmanship was not strong enough to defeat him.

"The Yin-Yang Sword Seal is only passed down to the sword geniuses. If you do not wish to challenge, then hand over the map and retreat as soon as possible!"

"On behalf of Jiu Dao, I am willing to give you six spiritual objects as compensation!"

Facing Gu Yuan's cold words, the ape demon did not get angry. He just took out a storage bag, placed six third-level spiritual materials in front of Gu Yuan, and urged him to make a choice as soon as possible.

"Let's not talk about the sword order for now. Today, I will clear out the door of those who betrayed their master on behalf of Qianlang Sect!"

Gu Yuan didn't even look at the spiritual material, he just said lightly.

"Then I will try your method!"

The ape demon said a lot just to find an excuse. In fact, he could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart.

He had waited here for a hundred years, just for the person holding the map to come to him, and he dared not leave.

Now that I have finally waited for Gu Yuan, how could I let him leave?

He must get the map and open the secret realm!
"rise!"

He shouted softly, and from the gray sword case behind him, a three-foot-long handleless third-level spiritual sword emitting a gilded luster suddenly rose up and attacked Gu Yuan.

The magic sword turned in the air for a moment, and eight identical sword shadows emerged. They were exactly the same as the magic sword and looked no different.

Nine sword shadows were moving endlessly and were extremely sharp. Not only that, a mysterious Taoist rhythm was aroused, and golden flames suddenly ignited on the nine spiritual swords.

The golden light flowed, accompanied by nine dazzling sword lights, like a golden sun, surging towards us.

"go with!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and a golden sword ball swam out.

The sword ball stood in the void, motionless, but nine sword lights suddenly split out, golden fire flowed, sword lights formed a formation, and in an instant it turned into a dazzling golden sword formation, and rushed forward.

"boom!"

The sword light formation was exactly the same, like a mirror image.

However, the sword light that emerged from the sword ball was more agile, and the magic power contained in it was also more tenacious. When the two collided, countless golden fires spread and sword energy exploded.

The void shook, and the spirit sword shook slightly and retreated several feet.

The sword energy that was differentiated from the sword ball only flashed slightly before condensing out again, as if it would never extinguish.

"Superior Sword Ball?!"

Seeing this, the ape demon was shocked, and looked at the sword ball in front of Gu Yuan with a hint of greed in his eyes.

The sword light is divided, and only the top-grade sword balls can move at will.

In addition, if you want to control different sword techniques, you need different spirit swords with different sword patterns engraved on them.

This is also the reason why there are nine spiritual swords in the sword box behind him.

Although this method is cumbersome, it also has an advantage.

That is to control nine spirit swords. He can use nine sword techniques at the same time, and the sword balls can split into sword lights. To use nine sword techniques, at least eighty-one sword lights need to be split!
Eighty-one sword lights, what a terrifying number. He just didn't believe that there was anyone in the world who could differentiate out eighty-one sword lights in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.

If such a person really existed, he would accept being killed on the spot without any complaints!

"rise!!"

A thought flashed through his mind, and the ape demon stretched out his hand and clapped it. Eight spiritual swords flew out from the sword box behind him. The sword light turned in an instant, and each spiritual sword split into eight identical sword shadows.

For a moment, in the void, eighty-one sword shadows spanned the sky and the earth, and the extremely sharp sword energy seemed to pierce the sky.

"Nine-Sword Formation!"

Not only that, the ape demon roared loudly, and eighty-one sword lights moved endlessly. In an instant, the eight trigrams formation of Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui were all derived from the sword technique.

At the same time, there was an "invisible" sword formation that flickered in the void.

The sword light was bright and clanging continuously, like a "small world" composed of sword energy, breaking through layers of void and suppressing Gu Yuan.

Controlling so many sword shadows in one breath, even though the ape demon had practiced secret techniques, felt extremely strenuous, and sweat broke out on his forehead. However, when he saw his sword light shining like the sky, he suddenly felt proud and couldn't help shouting:

"I have practiced swordsmanship to this point and have penetrated the bodies of the demon race. Isn't this the person who is destined to be with me?!"

"The Yin-Yang Sword Seal is destined to be mine!"

But the only response he got was the equally bright and sharp sword energy.

"Zheng!"

Gu Yuan's sword light could only split into thirty-three rays, but his magic power was strong, and as long as the sword ball was not destroyed, the sword light could continue to split out.

He used twenty-seven sword lights to evolve three Gentu sword formations. As the sword lights moved, they were like three large ochre-colored cocoons that protected him firmly inside.

"boom!"

The demon ape's eighty-one sword shadows pressed down simultaneously. The power was truly mighty and could tear everything apart.

The outermost cocoon of sword light was torn apart in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, another cocoon of sword light emerged from the innermost layer.

One layer of sword cocoon was torn into pieces, and another layer of sword cocoon was born again in an instant.

In a trance, the sword cocoons seemed endless and indestructible.

When the demon ape saw this, his expression suddenly changed.

Although the Nine-Law Sword Formation has boundless power, it has not been able to combine the nine methods into one. Therefore, it is not a magnificent way to break all methods with one sword. Its essence is still the "method of attrition" of the sword light differentiation.

With many sword lights, he divided into nine formations and attacked the enemy cultivators together. With practice to the extreme, he could fight against nine people in the same realm, but it was difficult for him to exert power beyond his own realm.

At this moment, although the sword light generated by Gu Yuan's sword ball was not as many as the number of his nine spirit swords, it was more agile and mysterious. The sword light was constantly appearing and disappearing. There were thirty-three sword lights, and for a moment it seemed as if there were three hundred and thirty sword lights.

The most crucial thing is that the opponent's sword light is more delicately differentiated and controlled. The sword light moves like silk, airtight, and evolves into a sword formation, which can really trigger the inspiration of heaven and earth and turn into a sword cocoon.

The nine sword lights looked as round as chicken eggs.

Otherwise, eighty-one against thirty-three, he must win!
But after the sword light formation, the nine sword lights can protect the surrounding heaven and earth in all directions, airtight, like a round chicken egg. The eighty-one sword lights must break the barrier to hurt the enemy, otherwise there will be no chance to take advantage.

The ape demon originally thought that since Gu Yuan had not gone through the nine trials, his swordsmanship must not be as good as his own, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"It must be the work of that top-grade sword pill!"

He thought angrily in his heart, then stretched out his hand and pointed, and a black light burst out from his hair and fell into the eighty-one sword shadows.

"Let me give you a taste of the power of my Soul-Falling Magic Light!"
