Tao and Heaven

Chapter 83 To prove the sword method!

He Huan and Murong Suyue were stunned for a moment, then they understood what the other party meant. They were going to take action against those sects.

"Brother Hongchen, calm down. We are only going to rob, not fight to the death. Apart from anything else, the guardian of the sect behind us will not agree to do this."

The two of them also have protectors, but the requirements for successors of a large sect are higher, and unless there are special circumstances, they generally will not be closely protected, so that the successors can gain better experience.

If a person dies during practice, it can only be attributed to bad luck or lack of strength. The sect can then introduce another one. There can be more than a dozen candidates for the successor.

The death of a successor is a big loss, but training a useless person to run the sect is not a loss, but may lead to the sect's demise. What's more frightening is that under the overprotective mode, people will continue to train useless people out of inertia, and there will always be a generation that is extremely lame.

All the great sects with a history of ten thousand years have a legacy as cold as iron. All the ones that rely on bloodline are small sects with a history of less than a thousand years.

"And they didn't know who specifically robbed it, and we didn't leave any traces."

Gu Wen did not lose his mind and shook his head and said, "I don't plan to rob rashly. I will take the long view on this matter. If there is no chance, I will give up. But I may need Brother He to inquire about it."

"Just be sensible."

He Huan breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "It's my fault. I was a little impatient when I saw thousands of kilograms of spiritual medicine, and I didn't consider that those families would set a trap for us."

Gu Wen asked again: "One more thing, does Brother He know anything about Tianquan Mountain?"

He remembered that the other sect was probably selling intelligence, and he was the first to find out about the Zhao family and himself.

As soon as this topic was asked, the atmosphere changed instantly. He Huan restrained his smile and did not answer as straightforwardly as usual. Instead, he asked: "Brother Hongchen, can you trust me?"

Gu Wen's eyes changed slightly. After a brief thought, he roughly understood what the other party meant.

Everyone knew that he was looking for the elixir of immortality, a chance to become an immortal, and any cultivator would definitely be interested. He Huan and his Yin Yang Qi Sect were no exception, so how could they guarantee that what he said was true?

Everyone is an enemy and everyone desires immortality.

But since the other party has said it, you can believe it to some extent.

He responded: “I’m selective.”

He Huan smiled and said, "Thank you so much for your trust, Brother Hongchen. My reason is actually very simple. I don't think I can get the elixir of immortality. And now I have a relationship with a future Taoist master, so there is no need to go far away. Is this reason enough?"

It is impossible to say that you are not moved at all, as doing so will only arouse suspicion.

The purpose of practicing is to become an immortal. Throughout history, countless people have spent their entire lives pursuing this goal, and many have even gone crazy for it.

No one can resist the opportunity to become an immortal if it is right in front of them, but if it is not right in front of them, or if they do not have the ability to seize it, some rational people will control themselves.

Gu Wen nodded and said, "That's enough."

He Huan glanced at Murong Suyue, who also spoke up and said, "Qianlong Villa does not seek immortality, and there is only one True Lord left in our generation. If he steps into this matter, he will undoubtedly destroy his inheritance. I will not bury the inheritance of the sect for a one in ten million chance."

Gu Wen nodded again, and then He Huan spoke: "Due to the problem of Emperor Daojun, now everyone in the world knows where the immortality drug may exist, and also knows that only the Taoist goddess can lead it out."

"Our sect has already investigated the matter of Tianquan Mountain. I didn't mention it before because I was afraid of arousing suspicion from Brother Hongchen. First of all, it has been closed, but this has been the custom of the Sword Washing Pool for thousands of years. Every time the Immortal Land is opened, a Taoist soldier will be born."

Gu Wen asked, "Can we force our way in?"

"No, the sword formation in the sword pool is completely natural, and there are countless sword intentions left by sword masters. The difficulty of a strong attack is no less than killing the Dao Emperor who has a dragon vein in his body. This is the advantage of the terrain and the people."

After He Huan gave a brief description, Gu Wen immediately understood.

"How to break it?"

"There is a path called the Ten Thousand Swords Path in Tianquan Mountain. There are a total of ten thousand steps, one for each step. If you defeat the ten thousand swords, you can reach the top, but only one person can enter."

He Huan looked Gu Wen up and down, recalling his image as a violent bandit, and said, "Brother Hongchen has never practiced swordsmanship, right?"

"I know the Jade Purity Sword Technique." A wisp of sword energy gathered in Gu Wen's hand. The Jade Purity Sword Technique has nine levels, and he is only at the second level now.

Because his Heart Sword needs to be constantly nurtured, Gu Wen currently only uses it to defend against attacks from the soul, and cannot use it to kill enemies of the same level or even higher levels. "It probably won't work this way, at least you need to be half a step into the Dharma phase to have a chance. And only one person can go up at a time, and you have to compete with Xiao Yunyi, so why not go directly to him for help."

He Huan suggested: "As long as you do him a big favor, you should be able to convince him. If all else fails, ask your goddess to do you a favor."

Gu Wen pondered for a moment and did not answer. Under the current circumstances, if he wanted to climb Tianquan Mountain without any loss, he could only go to Zhejian Mountain.

But will Zhejian Mountain help them? Don’t they want the elixir of immortality?
In the middle of the night, the sound of the night watchman's gong was heard.

The three men said goodbye to each other and left with their respective spoils. Gu Wen found a small bag of pills and a magic weapon in the shape of an iron pestle from the corpse.

He sold the spiritual treasure to Murong Suyue and asked her to help forge a spear, while the ordinary weapon in his hand was considered a gift.
-
Back at the inn, Gu Wen left the room and walked to Yu Hua's door and knocked gently.

"come in."

Gu Wen pushed the door open and walked in. Yu Hua was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating. She said, "You don't have to knock on the door in the future."

"I seem to have clues about the immortality elixir and Tianquan Mountain. Half a month ago, magical herbs emerged from Luoshui, and the amount reached a thousand kilograms."

Gu Wen briefly recounted the whole story. During this time, Ao Tang came in from next door and was scolded by Yu Hua for not knocking on the door.

After listening to this, the man and the dragon both looked thoughtful, and then they were attracted by another question raised by Gu Wen.

"Fellow Daoist said before that wherever the immortality medicine stays, a treasure land will be formed. Is it possible that the immortality medicine is in the sword washing pool, and this is why the earth medicine beads are pouring out nearby?"

Ao Tang's expression instantly became serious, and he said, "The Sword Pond is not easy to enter. If it is really so, I am afraid that Zhejian Mountain will take advantage of its geographical advantage and not let us pass. If there is a chance, no one can resist the temptation of the immortality medicine."

"I can break it, but I can't guarantee what the consequences will be." Yu Hua sat on the chair, turned his head and looked at Gu Wen who was sitting by the window, his eyes revealing a hint of inquiry, and asked: "Can you climb Tianquan Mountain?"

Before Gu Wen could answer, Ao Tang said, "The Second Ancestor is a spearman. Can he be better than Xiao Yunyi? Stop joking. It's better to send a message to drag down the entire Dao Sect. Beat it to pieces. Maybe there is still a chance."

But the chance was very slim, because the Three Pure Ones Taoist Sect would lose the advantage of getting the elixir of immortality first, and they could not be 100% sure that the elixir of immortality was inside.

"My dear ancestor, there are only two choices now. First, go and ask for help from Xiao Yunyi of Zhejian Mountain, or go to war directly."

Yu Hua ignored Ao Tang and turned a deaf ear to his words. He looked at Gu Wen and asked again, "Climb the Heavenly Spring, stand by the Ten Thousand Swords, and enter the Sword Pool. Can you do it?"

She knew that Gu Wen once refined a spiritual treasure in one hour, which was enough to rank second on the Zhejian Mountain Weapon Refining List, second only to the Zhejian Mountain Master who was one of the immortals.

Gu Wen looked into her eyes, quiet and deep, and suddenly I was back to a few months ago, when she always had some unreasonable expectations and trust in me.

Unexpectedly, he did not refuse, and said gently: "This requires the sword method."

Ao Tang was stunned. He didn't understand why Gu Wen didn't refuse. The person he was facing was the number one genius in Zhejian Mountain and also the best in military strategists.

In the way of swordsmanship, he defeated Xiao Yunyi, the number one genius.

It couldn't understand Yu Hua's expectations for Gu Wen, as if he believed that he was really omnipotent and a genius unparalleled in the world?
Ao Tang became an outsider, unable to get even an inch between the two people's eyes. The moonlight shone on the black and white plain clothes.

After staring at each other for a long time, Yu Hua smiled and said, "I believe you can do it. If not, I will flatten Tianquan Mountain. But I'm afraid it won't end well."

At this moment, Gu Wen was not thinking about the ambiguous feelings, but only thinking of the sentence "A man will die for his confidant". The relationship between her and him never started with ambiguity, let alone appearance. She covered her face and showed it to others, and he was ordinary. Everything started because of his talent.

"Hey."

Gu Wen sighed slightly, and smiled helplessly: "If you believe in me, I can do it, but it's just the sword method, and all the swords will ring."

As soon as a thought arises, the marrow of the sky moves.

In just one breath, the Jade Purity Sword Technique broke through two levels and entered the fourth level.

The power of the Heart Sword was silent and the two were unaware of it. As soon as Gu Wen turned his back to the bright moon, his eyes flashed with a snow-white light, like a sword light stirring ten thousand miles.
