Chapter 267: Empty Hall, Observing Great Freedom

Shi Xuan stared blankly at the white sword energy tearing through the sky. There was a thought in his mind that if a god stood in his way, he would kill the god. If a Buddha stood in his way, he would kill the Buddha. It was this thought that shocked Shi Xuan's soul, making it difficult for him to turn around. He could not react at all and watched the sword energy attack him.

There was no penetration, no tearing, and no pain.

But in Shi Xuan's soul, there was a storm. The white sword energy was chasing him, cutting through the mountains, the sea, the stars, the Taoist magic, the spiritual tools, and everything that stood in his way.

Death seemed to be right in front of him. His soul seemed to be split into pieces. His whole body was in pain like needles. However, at this time, Shi Xuan remembered the creation of the world, the changes in the world, and the time passing by. Therefore, the mountains, the sea, the stars, the Taoist magic, the spiritual tools, etc. in front of him became insignificant after being cut open. Shi Xuan also recovered from the shock.

A huge yin-yang fish rose in Shi Xuan's soul, slowly turning, emitting a yin-yang energy that turned everything into chaos, colliding with the white sword energy. Although it was still cut by the monstrous sword energy, it seemed to be a little weaker than before.

Seeing this, the yin-yang fish continued to turn, and one after another yin-yang energy was shot out. The white sword energy became smaller and smaller. Finally, when the white sword energy approached the yin-yang fish, it completely disappeared.

Mountains, seas, stars, Taoist magic, spiritual tools, yin-yang fish, vicissitudes of life, etc. disappeared from Shi Xuan's eyes. Shi Xuan found himself still standing at the entrance, looking at the empty hall in front of him. There was no loss of true energy in his body, as if he had just had a nightmare.

However, Shi Xuan had a layer of dense cold sweat on his body, which told him clearly that it was not a dream just now. Although it was not a real attack on the body, it was also an attack on the soul.

Release the Tai Chi diagram, let it turn into a golden bridge on the other side floating above his head, dropping golden light, plus the Xuanjin body protection skill and the cloud and mist fairy clothes, Shi Xuan dared to look up at the direction where the sword energy came from.

Right above the hall, there were four large characters in a flamboyant style: The Hall of Sword Discussion. These four characters looked nothing special at first glance, but when Shi Xuan looked at them intently, he found that these four characters contained the meaning of cutting everything and splitting everything to achieve my great freedom.

"It turned out that it was not the sword energy that attacked just now, but the sword intent that invaded the soul! I don't know which immortal of the Tianjian Sect wrote these words with a flying sword, and it can still emit such a powerful sword intent after a million years." After Shi Xuan understood, he respectfully bowed to these four characters, praising the shocking methods of this senior on the road of cultivation.

It was unknown whether it was because of the sword intent test or because the accumulation of millions of years was consumed in the sword intent attack just now. In short, when Shi Xuan observed these four words, he no longer had the situation of being attacked by the soul just now, and was able to carefully experience the great freedom sword intent.

"It seems that the predecessor who wrote these four words should have practiced the Tianjian Peak's technique "Great Freedom Invisible Sword Qi". Although Luofu Sect obtained most of it and completed it, it still lost the essence of cutting everything and splitting everything to obtain great freedom. It only obtained the four words "Ethereal" and "Invisible". "Shi Xuan shook his head and sighed, and at the same time he understood why Luofu Sect did not complete the sword cultivation technique, because it was impossible to complete it without the essence of the technique.

After experiencing the "Great Freedom Invisible Sword Qi" for a moment, Shi Xuan turned around and looked at the entire hall. After all, he was not practicing "Piao Miao Ge Jue", so he would not get much benefit from this sword intent. However, after the experience of the sword intent attacking his soul and winning the battle, Shi Xuan felt that his soul was more condensed and clear, and most of his hesitation, torment, and impetuousness seemed to have been killed.

Perhaps if other people came in, even if they could not defeat this sword intent, there would be no substantial loss, but they would not be able to get this benefit. Otherwise, how could the disciples of the Tianjian Sect in ancient times dare to enter this sword discussion hall.

This hall is extremely wide, and the fighting platform in the middle is several hundred feet in radius, not counting the side halls and the back halls. However, the wider it is, the emptier it seems, because there are no other items except the fighting platform slightly above the ground. After walking a few steps, there is a crisp echo.

Although he knew that there would be no other formations and restrictions in the hall, after all, this was where the disciples of the Tianjian Sect gathered for daily activities, Shi Xuan still did not dare to neglect it. He just stood there and used his spiritual sense to scan every corner of the hall inch by inch. After a quarter of an hour, Shi Xuan showed a little disappointment on his face, because he found nothing, whether it was traces or messages.

Shi Xuan restrained his emotions and walked around in the hall to check, because many Taoist books had records that some items and traces left by predecessors could not be felt with spiritual sense, and after the spiritual sense exploration just now, he was sure that there were no other restrictions here.

Carefully exploring every corner of the hall, Shi Xuan was concentrating when he suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from the side hall, as if someone had stepped heavily inside.

Shi Xuan stood up suddenly, and his cloud fairy robe turned into light mist, and the black gold body protection skill enveloped him. Outside, there were golden lights hanging down from the golden bridge on the other side transformed by the Tai Chi diagram, and nine fire dragons were circling. Just now, he had also used his spiritual sense to scan the side hall, and there was nothing in it at all. At this moment, there was a sudden sound, which was indescribably weird and terrifying.

Shi Xuan used his spiritual sense to scan the side hall from the top to the jade bricks again. It was clear that it was empty, just like the main hall. After that crisp sound, no sound came out of the side hall, as if Shi Xuan himself had auditory hallucinations.

Hesitating in his heart, Shi Xuan didn't know whether to go in to investigate. If this kind of weird and terrifying thing happened at ordinary times, he would have turned around and left long ago. Who cares what's inside? No matter how big the benefit is, can it be more important than his own life? But now is the time for him to seek an opportunity to break through the golden elixir. What if the remains of the old man Jian happen to be inside? If he misses it, he doesn't know if he can find an opportunity in the future. There are more than one or two people in Penglai Sect who are talented and firm in Taoism, but lack opportunities, and thus are stuck in the perfection of the soul for one or two hundred years.

After thinking about it carefully, Shi Xuan felt that the danger should not be great. If there were something much stronger than himself, it would have come to the main hall long ago. Why would it be so spooky? So either it was trapped in the side hall and couldn't get out, or it wanted to scare him away. If he just looked at the door of the side hall, there should be no problem.

Having made up his mind, Shi Xuan slowly walked towards the side hall. Along the way, Shi Xuan did not relax his guard at all, but there was no sound coming from the side hall, as if there was really nothing inside.

When he arrived at the door of the side hall, Shi Xuan looked around.

The side hall was not big, square, and it was clear at a glance. There were only a few cushions. It looked like a place to sit and discuss, and there was nothing strange about it.

Just as Shi Xuan became more and more alert, another crisp sound came, and this time it came from the back hall.

Shi Xuan immediately turned around and turned into a breeze to go to the back hall. At this time, Shi Xuan was sure that the thing that made the sound was just playing tricks. If it really wanted to deal with him, it would be the best opportunity when he arrived at the door of the side hall.

However, Shi Xuan still did not dare to be careless. When he arrived at the door of the back hall, he pressed the escape light and looked inside carefully.

The back hall is a reduced hall with several small fighting platforms, which seem to be used for disciples to perform and practice. It looks clear here as well, without any abnormality.

At this time, the crisp sound came again, and this time the location made Shi Xuan shudder, because it was in the hall! Shi Xuan turned around suddenly, but there was no other figure in the hall except himself.

Because it was just a turn, Shi Xuan must not have seen anything enter the side halls from anywhere. In other words, the thing that made the sound was in this hall. Of course, it seemed empty in the divine sense.

Shi Xuan walked through the entire hall step by step, his eyes like an eagle sweeping through all corners. It took him half an hour to walk through the entire hall, and he closely monitored the entrances to the side hall and the back hall, but he still found nothing. He didn't find the thing that made the sound, nor did he see anyone entering the side hall and the back hall.

But just when Shi Xuan had just finished walking through the hall, the crisp sound came out of the side hall again. Even with Shi Xuan's mentality, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: Isn't this a joke? !

Shi Xuan could already foresee that if he went to the side hall now, the sound would be heard in the back hall or another side hall. When he went to the back hall, the sound would be heard in other places. In short, don't think about finding anything.

What should he do? Shi Xuan's thoughts turned rapidly. Should he make a feint to the east and attack the west? Or should he directly knock down the walls of the back hall and the side hall, so that he could see everything at a glance. However, according to the speed at which the thing flashed away just now, he was afraid that he would not succeed. He didn't know whether it was good at doing so or borrowed the formation restriction.

Just as Shi Xuan was thinking about a solution, the person in the side hall seemed to be impatient and another crisp sound came out. This was the first time that two sounds were made in the same place.

Shi Xuan suddenly had an idea and looked at the side hall without doing anything. So in the next quarter of an hour, the side hall kept making sounds, but Shi Xuan was unmoved and just looked at the door of the side hall, as if he was deaf.

In the end, the side hall finally quieted down, and the whole hall regained the feeling of silence and depth.

After a while, just when Shi Xuan thought that there would be no more movement, under the deep and dim light of the side hall, two flickering eyes slowly moved out from a foot high beside the side hall door and looked at him steadily.

What is this?
