Tao and Heaven

Chapter 139 Obtaining Dao Sword Zhanxia
After an unknown amount of time, the golden light dissipated and Akabane regained consciousness. She sat up, scratched her head, and said with a silly smile, "That's probably it. Now that you and I have come closer, the distance is gone again."

In fact, it wasn't. Just as she said, it was just a small step, an extremely tiny step away from the immortal body.

But he, Hongchen, has only reached the fourth level of the golden elixir, while she has already taken the first step towards the immortal body of Tao. She wins!

Gu Wen felt a little speechless, but he didn't really argue with this little girl.

Maybe Akabane is several times older than himself, but her mental age is not necessarily that high. At least she is not as greasy and sophisticated as an adult, nor does she have such a strong sense of materialism.

For example, I would trick him into feeding him the elixir needed for a breakthrough. If it were Jun Yan, he would probably say "keep up the good work".

"Come and help me up, I can't stand up."

Gu Wen walked over and gently helped Chi Yuzi up. Looking at the scars on his abdomen, he could sense a very faint aura of the immortal sword left there.

These scars are only superficial. The power of the remaining immortal sword still exists, but it has become very small. However, it is still an unhealable injury.

It is inevitable that cultivators will be injured in battle, which is why the theoretical life span of the Mahayana stage is only about 4,000 years, which is 6,000 years. All living things between heaven and earth are being consumed all the time, and injury is undoubtedly the most serious one.

The only difference is that the injuries vary from person to person. Chiyuzi's Nine-Revolution Golden Elixir physical body is comparable to that of a Taoist soldier, but it is still useless in front of the immortal sword.

The immortal sword seems to be able to mark a doomed death for everyone who is attacked. No one can resist it, and the ones who can survive it are only those with profound foundation.

However, the deep foundation cannot resist and a piece of it will still be cut off, until the foundation is exhausted and the person dies.

"Are your wounds unable to heal?"

"How can the power of the Immortal Sword be healed at will? I'm afraid that even if I cultivate an immortal body, it would be impossible to remove these scars."

Chi Yuzi climbed onto Gu Wen's shoulders, stood up with some difficulty, and said, "The true meaning of the sword is just a method to become an immortal, and the immortal sword is the object of becoming an immortal."

The Immortal Sword is one level higher than the True Sword. The ultimate goal of the True Sword is to become the Immortal Sword.

Gu Wen understood and asked, "Does an immortal body not count as becoming an immortal?"

"I don't know." Akabane shook his head slightly, "So far, there has been no one who has achieved immortality with an immortal body."

"If there is a method to become an immortal, why is there no one who has become an immortal? If there is no one who has become an immortal, how can it be called immortality?"

Gu Wen was a little confused. This was obviously contradictory.

"Could it be that a half-immortal is also considered an immortal?"

"Calculate."

Chi Yuzi answered, "The realm of Dao is called Tianzun. Above the realm of Dao, there are Dao and He Dao. If you can master one of them, you are a semi-immortal. If you can successfully overcome the calamity, you are an immortal. The way to become an immortal is just a path that has been opened up, a great way recognized by heaven and earth."

"There is no one who has achieved immortality with an immortal body yet, but the immortal sword already exists, so I don't know if I can offset the hidden damage left by the immortal sword."

"I remember you said that your sister is a semi-immortal."

"I don't want to talk about her."

Akabane turned her head away with undisguised disgust and rejection.

Gu Wen said no more and changed the subject, "Will you need me to use the Immortal Sword to destroy your physical body's divine treasure when you practice in the future?"

Akabane replied: "And the Zhoutian meridians, and even every inch of flesh and blood, until I cultivate an immortal body."

His tone was firm, but his body was shaking unconsciously as he was instinctively afraid of the magic sword.

Gu Wen could not understand the pain of having the immortal sword piercing his heart. Although Chi Yuzi did not scream from beginning to end, the pain was enough to make the body instinctively feel and it was something that ordinary people could not endure.

And all this is just to stay alive.

"Even if this can cure your illness, the scars left by the sword may be enough to kill you."

"At least it's better than just sitting there and waiting to die."

Akabane smiled carefreely, and the 'sports shorts' on her body turned into starlight again, and then gradually extended into the original red and white sportswear.

Gu Wen said with some envy: "This robe is really convenient, but it's a pity that it can't be bought in the immortal land."

"This is the uniform of a disciple of Yu Jian Sect. If you want to be admitted, how about I be your master?"

Before Akabaneko finished her words, the force from the void hit her on the forehead. The force was so magical that it could directly penetrate the flesh and make people dizzy.

So she no longer dared to joke, although Chiyuzi really wanted to bring Gu Wen into the group.

If Gu Wen helps in the future, the possibility of killing his own sister will be greater.
-
The two left the cave and went outside to meet Yu Huajun Yan.

Jun Yan looked at Akabane who was supported with a strange expression, sometimes touching his chin, sometimes with a playful look, sometimes with wide eyes, and sometimes with worry.
In an instant, it seemed as if Jun Yan with different personalities appeared one after another, but without exception, they all brought some not-so-good speculations.

Jun Yan looked at Gu Wen and frowned, "This is not a good thing for a team. It may be over the line to say this, but I don't want a romantic relationship to exist during the cooperation." "Are you annoyed?"

Gu Wen was quite surprised. He was not surprised by the other party's guess. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the problem.

Just because of the gender, the guesswork is always misleading.

But this was the first time that Jun Yan, whose mental state was in a state of "quantum superposition", showed a tendency to like or dislike. Because of the demons that haunted him, Jun Yan's personality had always been in a chaotic state.

Apart from the fact that he needed his own sword skills to suppress the evil in his body, he never revealed his personality from beginning to end.

Gu Wen could vaguely guess the reason. Only by becoming free of desires could he resist all the demons.

"In my opinion, the biggest variable is emotion." Jun Yan said undeniably.

Akabane was not a person who liked to hide things, and said impatiently: "I need the immortal sword to destroy the physical body and take away your disgusting souls. Are you satisfied?"

"Looks like I'm overthinking it."

Jun Yan said no more and returned to silence.

Gu Wen saw that the relationship between the two was a bit stiff and didn't know how to smooth it out, but he thought it would be fine as long as they didn't trip each other up during the fight.
-
On September 26th, the secret realm will be closed.

It was three days later than expected, all because Gu Wen wanted to collect more spiritual herbs. During this period of time, Gu Wen collected all the spiritual herbs from the past ten years.

It can be described as plucking feathers from a passing goose. In this way, a total of 110 kilograms of spiritual medicine were collected, which is estimated to be about one kilogram of Tiansui.

If it is cultivated for another one or two years, it can double in number. The growth of spiritual medicine in the immortal land is at least ten times that of the outside world. In some special secret realms, the speed can be a hundred times faster.

The geniuses who come here basically eat what are equivalent to thousand-year-old elixirs from the outside world as their meals, and their cultivation speed is extremely fast, so much so that Gu Wen's cultivation speed based on his fate can be attributed to his talent.

The external speed is one for normal, two for genius, and three for peerless genius.

If you add a zero after the number of immortals, Gu Wen can barely accept the number of 100.

On the bank of an unknown river in Nanshui County, grass grew on the sword case that Akabane was carrying because it was filled with too many of Gu Wen’s precious herbs.

Chi Yuzi took out a Taoist sword, threw it to Gu Wen, and said, "This is the weapon you want."

"It's so casual, I would have thought it was an ordinary weapon if I didn't know."

Gu Wen reached out to take it. The scabbard was white and was melted from the remains of the spirit sword. When he pulled out the sword, there was a crisp sword sound, and the bright and transparent blade reflected his right face.

hum!
Strands of sword energy automatically wrapped around his arms, and Gu Wen swung his sword towards the water without using any magic power.

He drew his sword and cut the water, and a crack a hundred meters long and ten meters deep appeared, then disappeared in less than half a breath.

There is no need for mana, the sword spirit itself can display sword energy, and when applied to fighting, saving one point of effort means three points of winning.

"Good sword, indeed a good sword."

Gu Wen couldn't help but praise him, and then his mind moved, and he swung the sword again with the true knowledge of swordsmanship.

The sword mark was a thousand meters long, crossing the river.

The most important thing is that the consumption of mana is halved. With the mana of the fourth-level golden elixir and the blessing of this Taoist sword, Gu Wen estimates that he should be able to use the true meaning of swordsmanship at will.

The limit is to be able to use a hundred swords, but it is basically impossible to use the true sword technique a hundred times in a fight.

As for the remains of the Immortal Sword
Gu Wen only revealed a slight breath, and the sword spirit of Dao Sword immediately wilted as if frightened to death.

It seems that there is no way to achieve the Trinity.

He asked, "What is this sword called?"

Akabane replied, "Zhanxia, ​​maybe you can come up with one yourself?"

"Let's call him Zhan Xia."

Gu Wen had no intention of changing his name. He carried the Zhanxia Sword on his back, which gave him a sense of being a chivalrous hero.

At this moment, a ray of divine thought came from afar.

Ao Tang's voice came into my ears.

"My two little ancestors, you made me look for you so hard, why don't you go to Huoyun Cave but come to Nanshui instead?"

Yu Hua glanced at Gu Wen, who understood and stepped forward to explain clearly through telepathic communication, and then asked, "Where are you, Dharma Protector? Can you come and join us?"

"I'm afraid it's not convenient for me. A half-immortal came to visit me before. With my level of Taoism, I can't be sure whether the half-immortal is still spying on me."
