Tao and Heaven

Chapter 114: Immortality Elixir and Immortal Sword
Spiritual treasures are rare in the world of cultivation. Chiyuzi has a thousand spiritual swords. That's because he has a sword-controlling sect behind him that is comparable to one of the Three Pure Ones. The ancestor can be traced back to an immortal, and he belongs to the immortal lineage.

The Taoist tradition that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years is enough even if every generation of great powers leaves behind a magic sword. Moreover, when they reach the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, they basically start preparing to breed spiritual treasures.

Gu Wen himself only had a Green Eyed Water Wave Pearl from beginning to end, and the Xuanzhong Spear that he had already thrown away was only of the level of a spiritual treasure, and it itself had no spirituality.

He walked in first, and the others followed closely behind. The scene in front of them suddenly opened up.

The dome was a hundred feet high, with sword embryos hanging like stalactites. Some had just sprouted points, some had already taken shape, and there was also a magic sword falling in front of them.

Born?!
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

The scene of a magical sword appearing on Jianshan Mountain was simply unheard of.

Chi Yuzi turned around and asked Xiao Yunyi, "There is no such record in the books of my Yu Jian Sect about Tianquan Mountain. Isn't the Sword Pond just a pool of water?"

Not every generation of swordsmanship is the strongest in Zhejian Mountain. From time to time, there will be geniuses in sects like the Three Swords of Buddhism, Taoism and Demon, the Yujian Sect, and even some non-sword sects. The Yujian Sect also climbed Tianquan Mountain, and the genius of that generation recorded what they saw and heard.

[I entered the Tianquan Mountain, and found a sword pool in it, as wide as a lake, filled with magical swords]

This is all the description of the sword pond. The sword pond is just a sword pond, and the spirit sword is floating in it.

In comparison, the secret realms of the Immortal Realm are basically this plain and simple, emphasizing the simplicity of the great way, and the Sword Pond is just a pond. After all, the Way of Ten Thousand Swords is already very difficult, and the requirements of the Sword Way Dharma are sufficient. No one can withstand some more strange tests.

“Zhejian Mountain has never recorded such a scene.” Xiao Yunyi shook his head and said, “But this is also the only time that a large number of people entered together.”

Jun Yan also said: "More spiritual swords are a good thing. At least everyone doesn't have to fight over them. Even if they do, there's no need to get hurt."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere was dispelled invisibly.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wealth makes people kind. When resources are abundant enough, jackals, tigers and leopards will become non-aggressive.

Gu Wen touched his chin. Why did it feel like these people were singing the same tune?

Is it for the Immortal Sword? But how can such a thing be obtained by people like them?

At this time, Akabane reached out to touch the spirit sword. When everyone saw someone eating crabs, they immediately looked over. They saw the spirit sword tremble slightly, and then naturally recognized its master.

So Easy?
Everyone was amazed, and then several more people tried it, and without exception, they all obtained a magic sword.

"Low-grade spiritual treasure."

"But the hardness is lost, but the spirituality is excessive. It may need to be reforged."

Gu Wen also tried to refine it, but his mind was slightly damaged, and he threw it away before it could recognize its master.

Because there may be more good things behind, it is not worth it for a low-grade spiritual treasure. And Jianchi can take more than one, and it won't be too late to take more when you come back later.

Most people also realized this and stopped refining the spirit swords.

Only Akabane did not stop.

The sword box behind her, which was larger than herself, opened, and a huge suction force continued to harvest spirit swords. One hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand spirit swords were collected into the sword box, as if they did not need to be refined.

Although these spirit swords have spirits, their actual spirituality is insufficient and can only be considered as infancy. For the descendants of the Yu Jian Sect, it is very simple, and Chi Yuzi does not have to refine it. She can temporarily seal it with a sword box.

But she was the only one who could do this, and no one present had a sword box.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Chi Yuzi habitually scratched his head and smiled, saying, "What are you looking at? Can't you refine it yourself? There won't be anyone who can't refine these spirit swords, right?"

Really stupid and crazy.

At this moment, Yu Hua seemed to sense something, and pulled Gu Wen and started walking forward. A few thousand steps ahead, there was a staircase leading upwards.

Gu Wen stepped forward first, his body sinking slightly, and there was a place similar to kendo inside.

Each step weighs over a hundred pounds, so a hundred steps would weigh as much as ten thousand pounds. This is not the real weight, but an illusion caused by the compression of the sword.

Going up to the second level, there is still a spirit sword, but this time the spirit sword is of higher quality than the previous level.

And so on, the higher the level, the higher the quality.

Everyone's eyes were fixed directly on the end, and they walked quickly towards the passage ahead.

On the third floor, many people had begun to breathe heavily, except Gu Wen and a few other geniuses who looked normal.

Akabane looked at Gu Wen in surprise. This guy was carrying a person. This meant that he had to bear twice the weight. How could he not catch his breath after all this?
Is the Dao Sword that powerful?
Two people stayed behind, and Gu Wen saw that one of them was behaving strangely, looking at the other person vaguely.

It seemed to be Nie Fan, who was ranked 13th on the Human Ranking. Although his strength was not that great, he was at least a genius in swordsmanship and possessed the swordsmanship. Gu Wen had consulted him and extracted a piece of heavenly marrow from him.

He is the kind of person who looks like a smart guy at first glance, but stammers and hides his incompetence when asked.

He transmitted the message: "Daoyou, do you know that the two of them did not observe the well?"

Although I only took one year's worth of Tiansui, it was still a favor no matter how much it was.

The sword genius named Nie Fan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly to Gu Wen. He did not rejoin the main force, but turned around and delved deeper into the spirit sword.

Two people left the team, but everyone ignored them and continued to move forward. When Gu Wen approached the stairs, a scream came from behind him.

Everyone turned around and saw a man running towards them with a severed arm, shouting in fear, "Help."

Before he could finish his words, a flying sword pierced through his chest from behind.

Nie Fan came over and struck again with the sword. Everyone just watched coldly.

They united to target the older generation, and ignored the fights among themselves, and it was impossible to control them. The distribution of benefits was a big problem, so it was better for everyone to see the truth.

Gu Wen walked up first, and everyone followed closely behind him.

The atmosphere in the team became somewhat depressing, and after seeing blood, everyone's ferocity was invisibly aroused.

On the fourth level, the number of spirit swords was reduced by half. There were no longer spirit swords flying all over the sky, but their quality rose to the level of mid-grade spirit treasures.

Wisps of sword energy emanated from the spiritual swords, and the few with the most spiritual energy rushed forward.

Someone was quick to intercept, but was immediately attacked by the spiritual sword. A sword energy came unexpectedly and blood appeared on the spot.

"what?"

Everyone's eyes immediately became alert. The spiritual swords on this level were spiritual and aggressive.

This time five people stayed, and the team size dropped to fifteen.

On the fifth floor, the stone walls were as smooth and angular as if they had been chopped by swords or axes. Spirit swords were flying around, and countless sword qi that was enough to cut a person in half filled the entire space.

There are dozens of top-grade spiritual swords in sight.

Xiao Yunyi took the initiative to walk to the front and use the Willow Sword Method to clear a path, but this time half of the people chose to stay.

Climbing Tianquan Mountain means that everyone has sword skills and is a sect genius. As long as the sect is not sick, they will undergo a certain degree of training. And often the first lesson that a large sect teaches its disciples is to "do what you can", and then there is the invincibility.

If someone has an invincible mindset from the start, it would not be an exaggeration for the sect's elders to be beheaded.

The top-grade spiritual swords here are enough to benefit them greatly. The difference between mortal and spiritual objects does not lie in the power of the objects themselves, but in whether they have spirituality.

The formation is all-encompassing, yet it contains very little spirituality.

The three of the mortal, spiritual, and Taoist are respectively for nine major realms, the top-grade mortal weapon induction stage, the top-grade spiritual treasure distraction stage, the Taoist soldier return to the void stage and all the realms above. A top-grade spiritual sword is enough for them to use until the distraction stage, and even breed into a Taoist soldier. If they can get a few more spiritual swords, this trip will be completely worthwhile.

The most important thing is safety. They cannot compete with Yu Jian Fo and others.

Do what you can, don't be greedy, angry or sad.

On the sixth level, the spirit swords were no longer aggressive, but instead they conquered and slashed at each other in space. One of the spirit swords actually took on a shape with a slender body and two pairs of wings, resembling a dragon but not a dragon.

"Half-step Taoist soldier?!"

Someone cried out in surprise, and then someone rushed over with the sword-fighting Dharma image. The spirit sword chopped down, and the sword-fighting Dharma image collided with it. In an instant, the winner was decided, and the sword-fighting genius grasped the hilt of the sword.

But before he could warm it up, someone attacked him. This person obviously still wanted to save face, and before attacking, he shouted loudly: "Daoyou, this thing is destined to be with me."

"If you have a chance, you will know if you try!"

Boom!

The fight between the two was about to break out, but fortunately the secret cave in Tianquan Mountain was hundreds of feet high, and each level was almost the same size, so there was enough space for them to fight.

The aftermath of the fight caused more spirit swords to become restless, and then three more people walked out of the team. They moved close to the center of the fight and watched from the sidelines, and an invisible arena was formed.

The unspoken rule is one-on-one, and the winner takes all.

Gu Wen looked from afar and didn't know whether it was because they were all sword geniuses or for other reasons, but the cultivation world didn't seem to be as deceitful as he had imagined.

Or maybe they are all too young.

On the seventh level, the number of swords drops to eighteen, five of which are shapeshifters.

This time, only seven people came to the next level of stairs. Apart from Yu Hua and Gu Wen, they were Chi Yuzi, Yu Jianfo, Jun Yan, Xiao Yunyi and Lan Yongning.

The rest of the people went to fight for the seventh-level spiritual swords. Those half-step Dao sword spiritual swords were enough to benefit them for the rest of their lives.

Gu Wen walked up the stairs, his knees visibly bent slightly, and he pulled Yu Hua up step by step.

"Wait, you can't go up there."

Akabane suddenly called him. Gu Wen looked back and saw that the other person's short hair was soaked with sweat. He said with a serious face: "If we go up one more level, you and I may be mortal enemies. At this point, Tiannv should be able to go up by herself."

"Why?" Gu Wen asked. He saw that there was no contempt in Chi Yuzi's eyes, but concern and even pleading.

Jun Yan answered for her, "There are things we all need up there, and we'll fight for it even if we have to die. The goddess has the power of an immortal, and we have the means to fight back. If you just want the elixir of immortality, the goddess can go up there, we're afraid of hurting you."

If they fight, it is impossible for them to take care of Gu Wen, and if they hurt him, the Taoist goddess will definitely take action. On the contrary, if the two of them go up, who knows if it is for the immortal sword.

Akabane said seriously: "If you still consider me a friend, then stay here. Up there is not the place you should go."

"The more you say that, the more I want to go and see it."

Gu Wen turned around and continued to walk upwards. Every step he took seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and the same was true for the others.

thump!
Wen Jianlan Yongning knocked his head directly on the steps. He supported himself on the ancient stone slabs with both hands, and sweat poured down like rain.

The others stopped and looked back at him, no one offered a hand, they just looked at him coldly. But in such a situation, stopping was already a great kindness.

After struggling for a while, Lan Yongning was unable to get up. He looked up at Gu Wen who was holding Yu Hua, with some disbelief in his eyes.

He originally didn't plan to go up, but seeing that Gu Wen could walk up, he followed him up.

You have to know that this person had shamelessly asked him to teach him swordsmanship half a month ago, and was even kicked out of his house. Why is he now able to walk in the front, and even bring a Taoist goddess who has no sword skills.

Xiao Yunyi said coldly: "Go down, your level is only here."

He always speaks directly, and often the truth is the most hurtful.

Lan Yongning's mood was a little tense. He lost his usual elegance and murmured, "Impossible. Why is this happening? He can obviously do it, and you were asking me for advice before."

"Something must be wrong, is it the Taoist goddess?"

"Brother Lan!"

Gu Wen's voice, with its divine thoughts, infused into the other person's mind. Lan Yongning was in a trance for a moment, and then regained a little clarity.

Lan Yongning was not a bad person, otherwise he would not have taught Gu Wen swordsmanship. It was just that the identities of both parties changed too much at the time, and he realized that the genius he had always thought was of the same level was actually a level higher than him.

He thought he was in the top circle of geniuses, but in fact he was not qualified to be in it.

What really broke people's hearts was Gu Wen, a person who was once inferior to them, but surpassed them in the blink of an eye.

Gu Wen is not a wooden man like Xiao Yunyi. He understands the ways of the world and naturally will not watch Lan Yongning fall into his inner demons. This is also a human favor. Lan Yongning may not be the strongest, but he is not far behind.

More friends mean more paths, and it is never wrong to be kind to others.

After a long silence, Lan Yongning nodded to Gu Wen and said, "Thank you."

Then he stepped back, the pressure suddenly relieved, he stood up again and walked downwards, his back looking a little more lonely.
-
Gu Wen and others continued to walk upwards, when suddenly someone grabbed the corner of Gu Wen's clothes. He turned around and saw that it was Chi Yuzi.

She lowered her head so her expression could not be seen clearly. One hand tightly grasped the clothes on her chest. Her skin began to turn a strange red, and then became redder and redder as if there was molten lava boiling under the skin.

The temperature around began to rise, and Gu Wen's clothes finally caught fire. He was a little surprised and thought to himself: How many hundreds of degrees can the body surface temperature be?
Akabane grabbed a handful of ashes, then leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, groaning in pain.

It looked like she was not unable to bear it, otherwise she would not have been able to stand.

Bang!
The snow-white soft hair sank directly into the wall that was as hard as fine iron.

Gu Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Before he could go forward to check, a hoarse voice came, a voice that did not belong to any of them.

"Hehe. Nine-transformation golden elixir, indestructible Taoist body, this thing actually has a way to be refined. Hiss, how come this girl only has one soul in her body?"

Turning around, the source of the voice was Jun Yan. At this moment, his handsome face was covered with a layer of dark purple demonic aura, and half of his face was the face of another person.

"Get down here, old man!"

Jun Yan suddenly grabbed the face composed of demonic energy and tore off a piece of his skin, blood dripping onto the ground.

"what!!!!"

Akabanezi suddenly roared hysterically, golden light shone from his abdomen, and endless magic power came towards him like a tsunami.

Just a slight perception revealed that it was more than a hundred times stronger than Gu Wen's.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
The two gradually calmed down. Yu Hua seemed not surprised at all and said, "Let's go."

Gu Wen was led away by Yu Hua, and his mind was in a mess.

Why is everyone so sick?

Those with split personalities, those with physical problems, those with amnesia, and those who had previously gone insane after the true meaning of kendo.

It’s really a gathering of talented people.

As he stepped onto the eighth floor, he finally saw the water of the sword pool. In the center of the pool, a plain black scabbard was suspended, with golden roots spreading out from it.

Immortality Elixir and Immortal Sword! ?
