Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

"Cough cough!"

Jin Ping'er coughed lightly twice, then winked her alluring eyes at Zhang Xiaofan and said coquettishly:
"Don't worry, you've been good to me, and you're tall and handsome, how could I bear to let you die?"

Jin Ping was already extremely beautiful, with an alluring and captivating appearance, and her bare shoulders made her even more charming and seductive, which made Zhang Xiaofan extremely aroused.

The crucial point is that Zhou Yixian and Xiao Huan are right there, so he can't do anything.

Do I really have to do this in front of Zhou Yixian, with Jin Ping'er and Xiao Huan...?

Zhang Xiaofan has principles and is of excellent character; he would never do such a thing.

So, he forcibly suppressed the burning desire in his heart, shifted his gaze from the charming and seductive Jin Ping'er, and turned to look at Xiao Huan.

Her pure and beautiful face, and her youthful body, instantly dispelled any evil thoughts in his heart.

Then, Zhang Xiaofan sat down on the large rock next to Zhou Yixian, first bowing respectfully, and then asked:
"Senior, what is your opinion on the righteous and demonic paths in the world today?"

Zhou Yixian stroked his long white beard, placed the Immortal Guiding Banner he held against a large rock, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his wise eyes as he said:
"Now that the Qingyun Sect has experienced the battle with the Beast God, too many of the older generation of experts have died or been injured, and even the elders have all perished."

"Currently, in the Qingyun Sect, only the head of Dazhu Peak, who is also the current acting sect leader Tian Buyi, and Shuiyue Zhenren and Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak can take over."

"However, there are dozens of old monsters in the Demonic Sect who have cultivated for hundreds of years, not to mention the Poison God, Madam Sanmiao, and that Ghost King alone. They are not people that Tian Buyi and Lu Xueqi can deal with."

"Furthermore, only seven or eight hundred disciples of the Qingyun Sect died or were injured in the beast tide, while thousands of disciples of the Demonic Sect were killed or wounded. Now that the Demonic Sect is rising while the righteous sect is declining, and no one in the Qingyun Sect can use the Zhuxian Sword, if the Demonic Sect attacks the Qingyun Sect within the next year, it will surely succeed."

"Even if Tian Buyi were to risk being corrupted by the murderous aura of the Zhuxian Sword and turn into a demon, and use the spiritual energy of the Tongtian Peak lineage to activate the Zhuxian Sword Formation, he probably still wouldn't be a match for the Ghost King."

"Clap clap...clap clap!" Zhang Xiaofan clapped his hands and said:

"Senior's analysis of the righteous and demonic paths is indeed thorough, showing that you know them very well."

Hearing Zhang Xiaofan's praise, Zhou Yixian smiled broadly and said:

"That's...that's...that's!"

Suddenly, Zhou Yixian stared intently at Zhang Xiaofan, sizing him up, and said:
"However, you have now completed five volumes of the Heavenly Book, and your demonic body is complete."

"Now, no matter which side you stand on, good or evil, you can play a decisive role."

"However, I see that you are of pure nature, kind-hearted, and have deep feelings for the Qingyun Sect."

"I suspect that if the Ghost King attacks Qingyun Sect, you will most likely intervene when Qingyun Sect faces a life-or-death situation."

Zhang Xiaofan listened quietly to Zhou Yixian's words, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Zhou Yixian knew everything about the current cultivation world.

They even analyzed the character of each highly accomplished Taoist master very clearly.

Is this simply a natural ability to analyze things because he's lived so long, or is Zhou Yixian just exceptionally wise...?

Zhang Xiaofan thought for a moment, then suddenly said:

"As far as I know, the Ghost King has been dedicated to studying the Four Spirits Blood Array on the Fulong Cauldron in recent years."

"Now we have captured the four ancient mythical beasts: Kui Niu, Jiutian Xuan Niao, Zhulong, and Taotie."

"Thus, the Ghost King will perfect and activate the Four Spirits Blood Array, gaining the power of Asura. At that time, with the power of Asura and the Subduing Dragon Cauldron of the Four Spirits Blood Array, the Ghost King's strength will be..."

"What? He's about to obtain the power of Asura?" Zhou Yixian was suddenly shocked and stood up, pacing back and forth.

Suddenly, he stared at Zhang Xiaofan again, his shocked expression softening slightly, and said:
"The Dragon-Subduing Cauldron is an ancient divine artifact, its power terrifying, and the Four Spirits Blood Array on it is even more formidable." "Furthermore, the Asura Power not only drastically alters one's strength, but it can also drive those around it mad, even manipulating them for one's own use. However…"

At this point, Zhou Yixian stared at Zhang Xiaofan and said:
"However, you have now reached the ninth level of Taiqing, and your demon god body has been fully formed. If you wield the Immortal Execution Sword and unlock the Heavenly Lock, its power will be even more terrifying than Dao Xuan's."

"I ask you, with the Immortal Execution Sword in your hand, if you were to unlock the Heavenly Secret Lock and use the spiritual energy of the seven peaks within a hundred miles to activate the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, who in the world would still be your match?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and said:

"The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is located in Qingyun Mountain. Once outside Qingyun Mountain, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword is merely a terrifyingly powerful, top-tier divine weapon of the Nine Heavens."

"What I want is to improve my cultivation and become an immortal. At that time, even without the Immortal Execution Sword, I hope I can suppress both the righteous and demonic paths."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yixian reached out and placed his hand on Zhang Xiaofan's wrist, closing his eyes to carefully examine Zhang Xiaofan.

Suddenly, Zhou Yixian opened his eyes, his wise gaze filled with horror.

Pointing at Zhang Xiaofan, he exclaimed in horror:
"Zhang... Zhang Xiaofan, you're defying the heavens!"

"Hehe..." Zhang Xiaofan chuckled and waved his hand, saying:
"I control my own life!"

Zhou Yixian shook his head again, looking at Zhang Xiaofan with a worried expression, and said:
"Do you know that when one becomes an immortal, a tribulation will descend?"

"If successful, I can become a soldier full of honor."

"If you fail, you will be drowned in a thousand thunderbolts, and then... you'll die."

"Let me give you a piece of advice: becoming an immortal is extremely difficult. No one in the entire cultivation world can become an immortal. If you fail to transcend the tribulation, you will be bombarded by thousands of lightning tribulations and turned into a pile of yellow earth."

"You are still very young, only around thirty years old. You have a long spring ahead of you."

"Why don't you just lie down and enjoy yourself with your two senior sisters at Qingyun Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaofan's face hardened with determination. He stood up, looked into the distance, and said:

"My mind is made up. No matter how difficult it may be, I will become an immortal."

At this point, Zhang Xiaofan bowed respectfully and said:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaofan transformed into a blur and disappeared from the boulder into the horizon.

Jin Ping'er stared intently at the horizon with her beautiful eyes, gritted her teeth, and said:

"Zhang Xiaofan, you bastard, we finally managed to run into you, why did you just fly away again?"

Xiao Huan was also staring intently in the direction where Zhang Xiaofan disappeared, looking at the lollipop in her hand, her eyes suddenly glistening with tears.

Zhou Yixian then picked up the Immortal's Guiding Flag, slung his bundle over his shoulder, and came to Xiao Huan's side, comforting her:

"Xiao Huan, I know you like Zhang Xiaofan, but Zhang Xiaofan already has a wife, so you shouldn't always think about Zhang Xiaofan. Try doing some other work instead."

Xiao Huan listened to Zhou Yixian's words, shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum, gritted her teeth, and said:

"I don't care, I just want to be with Brother Xiaofan!"
