Xuanjian: Jade True Sword Immortal, my Dao Wisdom keeps increasing.

The summit of Jianmen Peak.

The southeast wind howled through the branches of the [Mysterious Horned Treasure Ear Pine], transforming into a precious ear spring breeze that nourished the entire Jiangnan region.

Cheng Gao and Cheng Jinzhu, who were waiting at the summit, saw Ling Mei leading Jiang Heqian out of Chenghua Hall and quickly stepped forward to greet them.

"Uncle-Master."

Ling Mei waved her hand, walked to the stone table, sat down, and said:

"Our Jianmen's base at Daxiyuan is being relocated. Chenggao, you and young friend Jiang should go there together so that you can look after each other."

"This young friend Jiang wants to reforge the spirit sword and preserve its spiritual essence. He needs the precious soil and spiritual material [Na Yuan Bao Gen] produced on the Great Western Plain to build a foundation. You can discuss the process with young friend Jiang in detail."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Mei activated his Gengjin Divine Power, and with a flash of golden light, he disappeared from the summit of Jianmen Peak.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Gao naturally responded respectfully.

Seeing his martial uncle depart using his supernatural powers, he let out a long breath, his restrained expression relaxing, and he cheerfully waved to Jiang Heqian, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Sword Immortal, please come and sit down, let's have a good chat."

Then he waved to Cheng Jinzhu, who was standing to the side, and said:

"Nephew, this is none of your business. You may leave."

Cheng Jinzhu did not hesitate at all and stepped down.

At this moment, Jiang Heqian stepped forward, walked to the stone table, and whispered:

"Please, Fellow Daoist Cheng, teach me, what is this precious soil spiritual object, the [Yuan-Gathering Treasure Root]?"

Cheng Gao thought for a moment, then explained aloud:

"Our Sword Sect's [Spirit Preservation] sword-forging method was passed down by Ancestor Wan Yu. It is specifically used to preserve the spiritual essence of the sword during the forging process. This is absolutely true, so Senior Sword Immortal need not worry."

"However, when performing the secret technique, one needs to use the precious soil spiritual object called [Nu Yuan Bao Gen] to nurture and store the spiritual essence of the sword. There is a precious soil spiritual root for foundation building on the Great Western Plain Sword Sect's base, which produces one [Nu Yuan Bao Gen] every ten years. Judging by the time, the next one will be produced in two years."

"Uncle Ling's idea is to send Fellow Daoist Jiang to our Sword Sect's Great Western Plains base for two years of training in exchange for this precious land and its spiritual treasures. This trip is a win-win situation for both Fellow Daoist and our Sword Sect."

After reciting the entire draft in one breath, he suddenly felt parched and picked up his teacup to gulp it down.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Heqian pondered for a moment:

"The Great Western Plain, located in the northwest of the Wu Kingdom, is a place where immortals, demons, and Buddhists mingle, constantly embroiled in conflict and instability. It's true that disciples of the Sword Sect have a tradition of training in the Great Western Plain. Since I've cultivated sword intent, going to the Great Western Plain means I represent the Sword Sect's support. So, for now, I'll align myself with the Sword Sect..."

Swordsmanship is practiced in Shu, while shamanism is practiced in the southern borderlands, simply because the immortal lord said it would look more pleasing to the eye this way.

Sword Ancestor Qin Geng erected a sword monument in Shu, and later generations of the Sword Sect even built an enclave in Western Shu.

It seems like a preordained event for sword cultivators to enter Shu. Thinking about it this way, going to the Great Western Plain of Shu might not be a bad thing.

Jiang Heqian's mind raced, and he said calmly:

"I know nothing about the Great Western Plain. I hope Fellow Daoist Cheng will take good care of me during my visit. Would you please give me a brief introduction?"

Seeing that Jiang Heqian had thought it over and agreed to go to Daxiyuan, Cheng Gao looked delighted and said excitedly:

"Even if Fellow Daoist Jiang doesn't ask, I will still tell you about it."

"My Jianmen Flying Land is located in Ganzi County, Daxiyuan. The land there is high and the sky is low, the earth veins are incredibly powerful, and the spiritual energy is not much different from that of Jiangnan."

"Besides my Sword Sect, there are also Buddhist cultivators from the Dakang Zhao Temple, demonic cultivators from the Shengbai Path, demonic cultivators from Longdi, and demonic cultivators from the Chen Kingdom in Jizhong who practice the Jueyin Path. These are all people that my fellow Daoist and I need to be wary of."

After finishing his speech, Cheng paused, waiting for Jiang Heqian to process it, and then began to drink his tea.

Shengbaidao? A powerful force under the Western Yan Demon Lord on the Great Western Plain, with immense influence and connections.

That Western Yan Demon Lord was one-third of the Lesser Yang Demon Lord, with the honorific title of "True Lord of Western Yongzhong Sheng Bai Yan". He was born from the sun immortal Yingze throwing the Lesser Yang Demon Lord's golden nature into the Great Western Plain.

【Shaoyang】Yuwei Zhenjun Xiyan, west Shaoyang in the Daoist intention.

The subordinate forces surpass the White Path, and are even involved in plotting to obtain the [Shaoyang] position, which is of great importance.

At this time, Yin Lie, the master of Shengbai Dao, had not yet cultivated supernatural powers in his human form, and it was highly likely that he would frequently move around on the Daxi Plain.

When I go to Daxiyuan this time, I must do my best to avoid this person.

As for the Dakangzhao Temple, it must have been built in Western Shu by some Buddhist or Taoist master. There are only a few compassionate monks in the temple, and their masters are not to be feared.

The Chen Kingdom in Jizhong is said to be a kingdom of women, with many cultivators practicing the Jueyin Dao. Wei Xuanyin of Guanhua Tianlou Dao is from the Chen Kingdom and possesses unfathomable Jueyin Dao skills.

If I go to the Great Western Plains on my own, as long as I intentionally avoid these powerful forces, I should be fine.

When Maha compassion made a move, the Sword Gate Purple Mansion naturally stepped in to block it.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Heqian said in a low voice:

"Thank you for your clarification, Fellow Daoist Cheng. Besides what you've mentioned, is there anything else we should be aware of before heading to the Great Western Plains for our garrison?"

Cheng Gao put down his teacup, thought for a moment, and then calmly began to speak:

"Our Sword Sect is stationed in Ganzi County, Daxiyuan. There is a small country there called Baiqiangli Kingdom. We Sword Sect disciples are stationed there to slay demons and protect the land from the slaughter of the people of Baiqiangli Kingdom by demonic cultivators."

Jianmen remains as rigid as ever, adhering to the teachings left by their founder, eliminating demons and protecting the righteous on the Great Western Plain.

In order to preserve the spiritual essence of the Lingyu Sword, he had no choice but to make a trip to the Great Western Plain.

These so-called demonic cultivators should just avoid crowding together to attack the Sword Sect's stronghold.

Jiang Heqian nodded thoughtfully, then asked:

"When should we set off?"

Cheng Gao replied with a smile:

"No need to rush. Once Donghuo Cave Heaven has completely collapsed and Jiangnan has become more stable, it won't be too late for us to set off."

Before Jiang Heqian could answer, he impatiently continued:

"Aside from this matter, I have long wanted to learn about swordsmanship from you, fellow Daoist. I would be grateful if you could teach me, Sword Immortal."

It seems this draft is truly a sword fanatic.

He had relied on the deduction of the Dao Jade to cultivate sword intent so easily, which gave him the illusion that sword intent was nothing special.

Seeing Cheng Gao's obsession with swordsmanship, Jiang Heqian felt a pang of shame. He then exhaled deeply, clearing his mind of his chaotic thoughts.

Jiang Heqian answered solemnly:

"Fellow Daoist Cheng, there's no need to be so polite. As for my understanding of swordsmanship, I will certainly share everything I know without reservation."

Disciples of the Sword Sect who practice the way of the sword, and who have achieved something in the way of the sword, all possess first-class character and virtue.

As the pillar of the new generation of disciples in the Sword Sect, Cheng Gao's talent and temperament are naturally beyond question.

He was also a disciple of Master Lingmei, a representative of the worldly faction of the Sword Sect, and clearly supported worldly involvement. He was a direct descendant of the Cheng family who did not abandon the Sword Sect in Shu.

Unfortunately, when he was in seclusion in his later life trying to break through to the Purple Palace, he was caught in the crossfire of the Purple Palace Maha Contest and perished.

Having met him, I greatly admire Cheng Gao's personality, and I wonder if I can change his fate.

Let's take it one step at a time and see.

Given the opportunity, it's not impossible to intervene and change the fate of the draft.

At the summit of Jianmen Peak, Jiang Heqian and another man discussed swordsmanship beside the Xuanjiao Baosui Pine until late at night before dispersing.
