Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 456 Digging three feet into the ground
The YCM Primordial Spirit Technique is a secret technique unique to Chen Xuantian; there are no more than three people in the world who know it. It couldn't possibly have been released by Kun.

After some thought, Tie Dan vaguely recalled that there seemed to be such an incident. It seemed that Chen Xuantian had a quantum communication test and possessed the body of his master, Tianku Zhenren, where he encountered a Xuanmen undercover agent named Feiyan.

Wait a minute, could all these people be descendants of Fei Yan? Their ages don't seem quite right... But recalling what Fei Yan said, she seemed to have a past relationship with Lady Gouyi of Shanglin Garden. So, it seems she is indeed connected to the Shanglin treasure...

Having finally found a clue, Tie Dan was too lazy to dwell on these trivial details. He immediately used his primordial spirit to capture the jade hairpin and the scroll, getting these two key items into his hands. Then, he set up an altar in the icy wind, performed divination, and attempted to use geomancy to calculate the location of the treasure's secret chamber.

Kan means the way of heaven, and Yu means the way of earth. Kan Yu, to put it nicely, means observing the celestial phenomena and examining the geography to understand the principles of nature. To put it bluntly, it means finding the best feng shui location and digging up graves where treasures might be hidden.

Yes, to preserve them for a long time and prevent the leakage of natural treasures and spiritual energy, most hidden treasure chambers in blessed lands follow the principles of heaven and earth, relying on the earth's veins and spiritual cores, and are sealed underground. The number of auspicious feng shui sites, spiritual apertures, and dragon veins in the world is limited. Over time, these treasure vaults, cellars, and burial mounds naturally pile up together, and a single shovelful can unearth many. This method of tomb raiding, based on geomancy, is truly a shortcut to success, a top-secret technique for cultivating immortality.

This isolated island of Liuzhuang is actually quite large. If Tiedan were to dig three feet into the ground and turn the entire island upside down to capture people within seven days, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would indeed be making a mountain out of a molehill.

However, if the so-called Shanglin Treasure does exist, it must be related to Lady Gouyi. As long as we can use these two causal tokens to investigate and trace, we can find the approximate location of the buried treasure. It won't be too late to dig three feet into the ground then.

However, to Tie Dan's surprise, he found that despite his efforts in arranging the food, pulling weeds, and casting water chestnuts, he couldn't calculate anything.

This is definitely not a problem with Tie Dan's arithmetic. Although Tie Dan is not exactly an expert in divination, he still has Chen Xuantian's laptop in his head to help him, so he should at least have a general sense of it.

The problem was that the more he calculated, the more mistakes he made. It was as if a thick fog was gathering in front of him, obscuring his spiritual sense. Even the world was filled with strange phenomena, with dark clouds covering the sun one moment and wind and rain the next. As a result, after three days of performing the ritual, the calculations he obtained were inconsistent and full of errors.

Tie Dan wasn't stupid; he immediately understood that someone was secretly working against him, concealing the secrets of heaven, and breaking his divination.

Could it be that Tian Gui is so capable that even after being cut in half by a sword, he still has the strength to fight him from a distance?
Or is there someone else secretly concealing the secret, or perhaps many others are eyeing this Shanglin treasure, preventing him from obtaining it easily?

Tie Dan was also annoyed, but unfortunately, the Xuanmen (mystical sects) did not only engage in face-to-face sword fights; arithmetic and magical duels were also common practices that could not be ignored. Now, having wasted three days, Tie Dan knew he had suffered losses from the battles he had fought all along. When it came to mental combat, his foundation was insufficient, and he was severely unbalanced. His calculation ability was far inferior to his swordsmanship, making him no match for his opponent. Continuing to waste time would not yield any results, and his enemy might actually escape.

Damn it! Forget it! Let's not delay, let's pick a spot that looks good and start digging! This is a gamble!
"Boom boom boom!"

At that moment, Tie Dan chose the Ling Shu node on the island with the best feng shui, a node that even he himself wanted to enter after his death. He rolled up his sleeves, transformed into a divine form, and changed into a ten-zhang-tall, Ya Zi-like figure, revealing his claws to dig holes and shovel soil.

Well, after all, it's a battle form that awakened after consuming a bunch of blood relatives, so why not make the most of it? Such a big guy is perfect for physical labor.

Tie Dan kept digging a pit down along the earth's spiritual vein beneath the Liuzhuang Ancestral Hall. After all, even if a blessed land, a treasure trove, or a celestial tomb is hidden deep within, it still needs to draw upon the earth's spiritual energy to set up an array to conceal the traces of rare and precious materials.

Therefore, even if the exact location cannot be calculated, as long as violent destruction is used to sever the earth's veins and disrupt the flow of spiritual energy, the formation will eventually be destroyed, revealing the location of the immortal energy and precious light.

So they dug for three more days in a row, and sure enough, the treasure shone brightly, and Tie Dan unearthed a huge pile of immortal treasures.

So many dinosaur fossils...

Are you kidding me?!
Now, with the aura of dragon bones and immortal treasures surging, the island's feng shui became even more chaotic. Tie Dan was at his wit's end, so he had no choice but to randomly grab someone from Liu Village and ask them a question.

"Are you all from the clan of Lady Gouyi of Shanglin Garden? Do you know Old Deng from your village, who is called Kong Liuzi?"

The people of Liuzhuang never expected that this immortal would not only seal off the island without a word, but also allow his beasts to run rampant and come over to dig up their ancestral graves. They dared not speak out in anger and could only beg for mercy in a low voice.

"Immortal, spare our lives! We are refugees from Genzhou, who moved here to escape the ravages of war. We have no idea what Kong Liu Zi is. We beg you, Immortal, to have mercy and spare our lives! Waaah..."

Tie Dan stared at him and said,

"Do you know that during Emperor Wu's reign, the Commandant of Shanglin was said to have committed countless evil deeds, including embezzlement and bribery, and even stole a large amount of treasure and buried it in your village?"

"Complete fabrication! Absolutely not! This is pure rumor! Immortal Master, please see the truth!"

Tie Dan was impatient.

"If I kill you with one blow and then ask again, will you still give the same answer?"

That person was almost in tears.

"How can someone who's already dead possibly reply..."

Tie Dan knew he wouldn't get any information out of him, so he waved his hand and let the man go. He even withdrew the sword formation outside the island, set up a sword rainbow, and flew away.

However, he secretly turned back halfway, calculated the timing, and used the Formless Sword Ball technique to hide himself on the beam of the ancestral hall without making a sound.

They kept watch until midnight, and sure enough, several people quietly arrived at Liuzhuang Village and secretly opened the hidden door of the ancestral hall to investigate.

Upon discovering that the hidden scroll had vanished, clearly stolen by the demonic cultivators, everyone immediately collapsed beside the table, sobbing softly.

"Oh my god, the immortal destiny left behind by Lady Fist has indeed been stolen by that person! What are we going to do!"

"Why bother with matters of immortal destiny? The demonic path won't give up until they find the treasure! I think it's best for us to escape!"

"But Master Liu said that unless one obtains a divine destiny, one must never leave this place lightly..."

"Don't mention Master Liu. He hasn't been seen for so many days. I'm afraid he's already met with some terrible fate."

"Let's go overseas and hide for three to five years. It won't be too late to come back when things have calmed down. If we hesitate any longer, and the evil forces realize what's happening, it will be too late to regret it."

After some discussion, the group decided to split up their property and seek refuge. Taking advantage of the clear moonlight and sparse stars, they set off from Willow Village towards the sea with lanterns. Reaching a rocky shore, the leader lit a talisman, chanted an incantation, and waved it twice into the water.

Not long after, a thunderous sound was heard, and huge waves rose up from the seabed, parting the sea to reveal a treasure ship emerging from the jumbled reefs.

It was a celestial palace's flying treasure ship, a massive warship as tall as a four-story building. The ship was covered by a canopy of canvas, so not a trace of its precious color could be seen through it. But when a canvas was torn open, the sails slowly unfolded like butterfly wings, emitting a dreamlike, ethereal blue glow. In the starry night, it seemed to reflect the Milky Way, a truly beautiful sight.

The group from Liu Village, focused solely on escaping, acted swiftly and skillfully, casting hand seals and incantations to control their precious ship. They quickly raised the sails, igniting runes all over the vessel, transforming it into a brightly lit mirage on the sea, ready to set sail overseas. However, before they could complete their preparations and gather their families to board, a beam of sword light suddenly emerged from the cabin. Its flickering light in the night, like a will-o'-the-wisp, swayed left and right like a firefly, circling around the backs of the group. In an instant, it slaughtered them all, turning the deck a bloody mess.

The sword light paused for a moment under the moonlight, revealing the chilling appearance of the three-foot-long sword.

Not content with killing so many people in an instant, the sword flashed with blood and then soared into the sky, leaving a trail of light as it flew towards the horizon. It was clear that it intended to launch a long-range attack, slaughtering the entire population of Liuzhuang Village without leaving a single survivor before it would be satisfied.

So Tie Dan didn't wait any longer. Taking advantage of the sword flying out, he hurried downstairs and chased after Xue Xiu into the cabin.

The sword wound on Gui's back that day was extremely deep, the blood was still wet, and the sword mark was hard to erase. At this moment, in order to avoid being exposed by the people of Liuzhuang, he struck first with his sword, and how could he hide it from Tie Dan's eyes?

However, Tie Dan arrived in a hurry. Tian Gui heard the footsteps and jumped up with a shiver. He didn't even care about his flying sword. "Crack!" He lashed out with a whip-like fist towards the source of the sound behind him.

Unfortunately, although this punch contained all his life's power, and was thrown with wind and thunder, making it extremely fierce and ruthless, it was instantly broken into three pieces by a cold sword light halfway through its flight.

Tian Gui tried to escape, but was overtaken by the invisible sword energy. His knees and legs twisted wildly, and he was engulfed in a blood mist and scattered. He was then cut down by the chaotic swords and broken into eight pieces, which were scattered all over the ground with a "crackling" sound.

"you win."

Dismembered into eight pieces, Tian Gui knew he was doomed. He could only lie amidst the broken flesh, his eyes blankly staring at the blurry figure in the darkness.

"It's only two hours away from the seven-day mark, I'm just unlucky..."

Tie Dan didn't rush to finish off the enemy, and said coldly,

"Your Excellency is ruthless and unscrupulous. Even if seven days have passed, I will not let you go."

Tian Gui, not to be outdone, stared intently at Tie Dan.

"Stop talking nonsense and make your move. What, are you interested in the treasure?"

Tie Dan shook his head, stepped out of the shadows, and his expression turned strange.
"Where is my master buried?"

Tian Gui was suddenly inexplicably...
"...Your master?"

“Guangxia Mountain, Chen Tian weeps.”

Tie Dan remained silent for a while, but finally couldn't help but press on, asking...

"Didn't Tiangang send you eighteen flying stars to chase after him? Now that you're all back... is he dead?"

Tian Gui snorted coldly.

"Hmph, I don't know. The only one I fear is Tian Gang. He'll be back as soon as he dies. Who cares about anything else?"

"Is it……"

Tie Dan was stunned for a moment, unsure whether he was disappointed or relieved.

Seeing his expression, Tiangui suddenly chuckled.
"You still call him master? What has Chen Tianku taught you?"
All your skills were given to you by that scoundrel Ling Xuzi.

"What right does someone who's been used as a pawn have to be the leader of the Sword Sect?"

Tie Dan gazed at the sword light at his fingertips.
"Perhaps you are right, I am not worthy, but it doesn't matter."

If my master hadn't taken me in, I would have died on the roadside like a stray dog ​​long ago.

Since he accepted me as a disciple of the Sword Sect, I will be a disciple of the Sword Sect in this life.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to be members of the Sword Sect.

As long as I live, the Sword Sect will live.

Tian Gui was silent for a moment, then sneered.

"You are very strong, but you are easy to deal with. Whoever angers you, you can chase them to the ends of the earth, and not even nine oxen could pull them back."

Focusing solely on immediate hatred and personal likes and dislikes is not the mark of a sect leader.

A sect leader must be like a mountain, unshaken even in the face of wind and rain, and when the sky shakes and the earth trembles.

Do you know how the Tiangang Sect becomes its leader?

For such a small amount of stuff in this village, his disciples and their descendants were beaten to death, and his entire family was skinned and dismembered, yet he didn't utter a single sound.

No one can control him, no one can take his things away, and no one can stop him from taking the path he wants to take.

You still have a long way to go.

"Is that so? I've learned something."

With a flick of his finger, Tie Dan beheaded Tian Gui.
