Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

The next moment, Li Xiu poured the limited amount of innate energy in his body into the Hongmeng Sword.

After being activated by Li Xiu's aura, the Hongmeng Sword seemed to come alive as well.

The entire cave now shone as brightly as the night sky, with the light of countless stars converging on the Primordial Sword, making it seem as if it were about to pierce a hole in the entire heavens.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Giant Strength Sect and the Mystic Arts Sect all widened their eyes, clearly having never witnessed such a dazzling move before.

The sheer scale of the event led them to subconsciously believe that its power was extraordinary.

In fact, its power exceeded their expectations.

With the infusion of countless stellar powers, the Hongmeng Sword seemed to receive another enhancement. Its originally simple and unadorned blade became active, its starlight shone brightly, and its blade began to sharpen. The sword energy also began to expand continuously on the Hongmeng Sword.

This time, Li Xiu did not use any special attack methods, but simply let the Hongmeng Sword do its own thing.

This was also the first time Li Xiu had fully unleashed the power of the Hongmeng Sword, and he wanted to experience firsthand what made it so special.

As expected, Li Xiu was not disappointed.

This Hongmeng Sword can actually perform some simple moves on its own, and the sword energy on the Hongmeng Sword is also exceptionally simple, giving the feeling that there are no moves but the best moves.

This state of returning to simplicity is precisely what Li Xiu has been constantly pursuing.

The next moment, under the gaze of the power of the stars, only the Hongmeng Sword remained, radiating dazzling light throughout the entire passage.

The sword energy of the Hongmeng Sword had reached its peak, as if it had absorbed all the energy and was only about to explode in the final moment.

Chapter 1378 Powerful Attack

Li Xiu also felt the unparalleled power of the attack, and he tried his best to control it so that the sword energy would not harm too many people.

But at this point, the sword energy was already like an arrow on a bowstring, ready to be released.

The guys in front of us didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation. They were still preparing their attack methods and didn't seem to be defending themselves at all.

Seeing the group of people looking like they were ready to fight to the death, Li Xiu felt helpless and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "What you're doing here isn't fighting to the death, it's clearly a death wish."

Seeing them like this, Li Xiu felt no remorse whatsoever. After all, they were the ones who wanted to kill him and steal his goods, and if they failed, it would be only natural for them to die.

Finally, the sword energy of the Hongmeng Sword in Li Xiu's hand was unleashed.

Seeing such a cool move, Nuwa behind him was starry-eyed, as if Li Xiu were a superhero.

The next moment, the sword energy swept across, as if the Hongmeng Sword also sensed that Li Xiu had no killing intent, and that this sword energy was not meant to kill.

The massive shockwave blew away all the people blocking the cave passage. The disciples from various sects were like fallen leaves in a gale, bumping around on the walls of the passage, all dizzy and disoriented, like headless flies.

Li Xiu was overjoyed to see that the Hongmeng Sword had produced such a spectacular show.

This Primordial Sword is not only powerful in attack, but it also seems to understand its master's thoughts. This allows the master to control his attack methods more freely, to defeat his enemies better, and to take his mastery of his power to a higher level.

This time, the elders also witnessed the gap in strength between themselves and Li Xiu, and none of them dared to continue spouting nonsense.

Elder Wang and Elder Liu exchanged a glance and understood each other's thoughts. It seemed they would have to choose the best of the thirty-six stratagems: retreat.

As for the other disciples of the Secret Method Sect, they couldn't care less. While Li Xiu was experiencing the surprise brought to him by the Primordial Sword, these two quietly walked to the other side of the passage, wanting to escape in the chaos.

Li Xiu, with his keen senses, naturally noticed this scene. He had no intention of killing the other disciples, but he had absolutely no liking for these two old men.

If we don't teach these two old guys a lesson, we'll really be letting down the Hongmeng Sword's understanding and considerate attack.

Li Xiu also shouted in that direction, "Why are those two elders from the Mystic Sect in such a hurry to leave? I haven't had enough of your toilet paper yet, come back here!"

The next moment, the sword energy of the Hongmeng Sword was once again unleashed by Li Xiu.

This time, it wasn't the turbulent feeling of ocean waves; instead, it was very light, like two silk threads, wrapping around Elder Wang and Elder Liu of the Secret Method Sect.

These two people, like chicks being hoisted up, were pulled from the crowd by the sword energy and fell down in front of Li Xiu.

Seeing this, Li Xiu's love for the Hongmeng Sword deepened even more. It felt like an extension of his own body, and he wielded it with such ease, even more so than certain parts of his own body. He had truly struck gold.

Chapter 1379 Preparing to Leave the Cave

After slamming the two men down in front of him, Li Xiu addressed them as if judging them, saying, "So this Hongmeng Sword is the treasure I obtained in my cave? Do you still want it?"

"If you want, I can show it to you, but I won't be responsible if you cut your hand."

At this moment, Elder Wang and Elder Liu of the Secret Method Sect had no mind left. They knelt down and begged for mercy, saying to Li Xiu, "Great God, Great God, we were wrong. We shouldn't have been blinded by the guaranteed benefits. Please forgive us."

Seeing how shameless and cowardly these two were, Li Xiu felt even more disgusted. However, he didn't want his Hongmeng Sword to be stained with the blood of such trash as soon as it was unsheathed.

He also said to the two of them, "If you want to save your lives, each of you can cut off an arm. Otherwise, don't blame me for taking action myself."

Upon hearing Li Xiu's words, Elder Wang and Elder Liu immediately kowtowed and apologized, saying, "Thank you so much for sparing our lives, Great God!"

Li Xiu didn't have time to watch the two of them flattering him, and said impatiently, "Why aren't you doing it yourselves? Do you expect me to do it myself?"

When Elder Wang and Elder Liu saw Li Xiu, they became impatient again. They dared not be careless and each cut off one of their arms. Then, they endured the pain and gritted their teeth, not daring to make a sound of discomfort.

Seeing that the two men were quite efficient, Li Xiu's expression softened slightly, and he didn't make things too difficult for them. He then addressed the other members of the Secret Arts Sect, saying, "Alright, everyone, disperse quickly and stop causing trouble here."

"As for the friends from the Giant Strength Sect over there, what else do you want to do? Do you want to fight me or leave immediately?"

At this moment, the guys from the Giant Strength Sect had already stood on both sides of the cave passage, not daring to breathe loudly.

The Giant Strength Sect's veneration of power far surpasses that of other sects, and now that they have witnessed Li Xiu's extraordinary strength, they have all come to worship Li Xiu as their supreme master.

Even the elder from before, upon seeing Li Xiu, now had an expression filled with the pursuit and fanaticism for power.

Clearly, they also see Li Xiu as a long-term goal. If one day they could also reach that level of power, being able to crush thousands of enemy troops with just one punch, or even take their lives, what an enchanting scene that would be!

Li Xiu naturally didn't care what they thought. Seeing that these guys had finally behaved themselves and quieted down, he was pleased.

Clearly, he was still not very comfortable dealing with this kind of novice.

He also waved to Nuwa behind him and said, "Now you should have seen your brother's strength, right? Didn't I tell you I wasn't lying?"

This time, Nuwa didn't say much, but simply nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to be so strong. It seems I underestimated you before."

Li Xiu was already used to Nuwa's girlish mentality. After all, having experienced so many worlds, he was quite the expert in dealing with different kinds of girls.

She didn't dwell on the matter with Nuwa, and said, "Alright, now that we've dealt with these good-for-nothings, let's go together."

Chapter 1380 Finding an Exit

"But if we want to get out, we might still have to rely on you."

Nuwa asked, puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

"Since you were the first one to come in, you'll be the first one to sense the exit, so I believe you can lead me out too."

Li Xiu was very tactful in his speech. Since Nuwa had been following him around for a long time without doing anything, he decided to let her take the lead this time and let her find a way out.

In this way, Nuwa can find her own value and won't have too many other thoughts about Li Xiu. It also allows him to experience the feeling of happiness. After all, he has stolen someone else's treasure. If she doesn't smooth things over with him, Nuwa might curse him in the future.

As expected, Nuwa was immediately pleased after hearing Li Xiu's words, thinking to herself, "Even though you're good at fighting, finding the exit is something I still have to do."

So Nuwa happily walked ahead of Li Xiu and went out the way they had come in.

Although Li Xiu knew how he got here, he had a feeling that if he went back now, he might not be able to find the way he came in.

Of course. This is just Li Xiu's feeling. Perhaps this place doesn't have all those twists and turns, and is just a very ordinary cave.

Wukong followed behind Nuwa without thinking about anything else, his mind still replaying the surprises the Hongmeng Sword had brought him.

It seems he needs to take some time to properly use the Primordial Sword again. After all, many of its powers are things he has never seen before. Moreover, its ability to read its master's mind makes Li Xiu very fond of it.

Moreover, he felt that the Hongmeng Sword must have even more powerful functions that he had not yet discovered, which he was waiting to slowly explore and test himself.

Li Xiu's side had a fruitful harvest and the matter was now concluded.

Meanwhile, Li Duotian also encountered a cave. Although he and Li Xiu had gotten separated, he knew that he was about to face an opportunity.

After all, he had encountered similar situations many times with Li Xiu in the place that truly transformed him. If he could successfully seize this opportunity, he should be teleported out and could continue searching for Li Xiu.

This was also the first time Li Duotian had acted alone, detached from Li Xiu.

In fact, Li Duotian never had a clear understanding of his own strength. He was a copy of Pangu, and in terms of various abilities, he was not much different from the real Pangu. Moreover, he had obtained so many inheritances, so his strength should have reached a very high level.

However, he felt that although his body was a treasure, he had not fully developed it.

Or perhaps there's a shackle on oneself, preventing one from unleashing these powers without restraint, just like an ordinary person, requiring constant cultivation.

These powers will gradually be revealed after one has cultivated to a certain level.

For Li Duotian, the meaning of cultivation was to break the shackles that sealed within his body. Perhaps cultivation was simply easier and simpler for him.

Chapter 1381 Mistakenly Entering Demon Territory

Li Duotian wasn't alone in his cave. When he entered, he realized he seemed to have fallen behind. The footprints in front of him, resembling those of a runaway vehicle, gave him a headache. It seemed he hadn't made it into the first wave this time.

What Li Duotian didn't know was that the group of guys in front of him were not ordinary humans.

The place Li Duotian teleported him to was not the direction he had entered; by a twist of fate, he was teleported to the other side of Buzhou Mountain.

On the other side, however, was not human territory, but land occupied by the demon race.

Of course, Li Duotian didn't know this news when he first arrived here, and if he had known, he would probably have been even more excited.

Meanwhile, the demon race, after discovering Buzhou Mountain, also began to explore it from another direction, hoping to find out what hidden treasures lay within.

After all, the emergence of a mysterious mountain peak inevitably brings about a change in the fortunes of certain people, and those who cannot adapt to this trend will eventually be eliminated by the times.

The demon race also deployed their best forces, and all sorts of monsters could be seen in the cave.

However, the person walking at the very front, whom the monsters respected greatly, looked extremely strange and handsome. Having cultivated to this level, it was impossible to tell whether he was human or demon.

And the leader of this group is none other than Donghuang Taiyi. He has officially come to this mountain as the leader of the demon race in this exploration of Buzhou Mountain. Of course, Donghuang Taiyi is young but his strength is extraordinary.
