Chapter 277 Five-Colored Sword Lights and White Lotus Blooms
On the other side, Xie Xiaoan and another Soul Stage cultivator saw the colorful sword light coming and knew that Shi Xuan was the assassin, so they threw out the fifth-level Taoist magic "Small Nine Palaces God-trapping Forbidden Method" talisman given to them by Li Huaiyuan, trying to trap Shi Xuan inside, and then notify Li Huaiyuan to return.
As soon as the Small Nine Palaces God-trapping Forbidden Method was used, a strange chessboard phantom appeared immediately, with only nine grids on it, covering a radius of hundreds of miles.
However, they did not expect that Shi Xuan had already achieved the Golden Elixir, and this time he was controlling the colorful flying sword from thousands of miles away. The Small Nine Palaces God-trapping Forbidden Method did not even touch Shi Xuan's edge, and they thought that Shi Xuan had been trapped inside.
It was not until they saw the three sword lights transformed by the five-colored flying sword flying towards them that they realized that they were just happy for nothing. So they used all their means, including talismans, secret treasures and various protective objects, but the three sword lights seemed to be unstoppable. After hitting the layers of light shields, some were broken into pieces, and some were missed directly. In less than two moments, the soul-level cultivator had been pierced by two big holes by the sword light.
Xie Xiaoan was stopped at the neck by the five-colored flying sword, and dared not move at all. He was sucked towards Shi Xuan by the black and white air that followed.
Shi Xuan did not give Xie Xiaoan a chance to beg for mercy. He searched his soul directly. Li Huaiyuan actually dared to go to Lingjian Peak. He was really bold.
After searching his soul, he killed Xie Xiaoan casually. Shi Xuan merged the three five-colored sword lights in his palm into one. Not long after he achieved the golden elixir, he naturally practiced the sword light differentiation. It was really a case of planting flowers intentionally but not blooming, and planting willows unintentionally but growing a shade.
Before Shi Xuan could sigh, a white light flew towards the exit in the distance like a white rainbow. It was Li Huaiyuan's aura.
Li Huaiyuan fought hard and blew up several spiritual weapons on his body. He temporarily forced Qiao Mubai to retreat, but it also delayed a lot of time. Now he was really anxious.
The exit was in sight. Li Huaiyuan's joy just flashed in his heart, and the environment around him changed. The void became extremely chaotic. The sky was invisible above, the ground was invisible below, and the directions were indistinguishable. There were two lights, one black and one white, slowly rotating everywhere, and occasionally there were silver snakes and purple snakes like lightning wandering in the chaos.
"Void illusion!" Li Huaiyuan said softly, and all the anxiety and panic on his face disappeared, and his heart was as calm as water, because he understood that this was a life-and-death battle, and his emotions could not be disturbed by anything. "Since Fellow Daoist Shi has arrived, just take action."
"Master Li?!" Shi Xuan shouted, and the voice came in the chaos, but Li Huaiyuan was thinking about countermeasures and did not answer, so Shi Xuan had to continue: "Shi has been waiting here for a long time, but Master Li is late, which makes Shi very disappointed, so please accept Shi's sword."
Before he finished speaking, a five-color sword light that cut through the chaos flew towards Li Huaiyuan, and the black and white light in the chaos, the silver snake and purple snake-like lightning also hit Li Huaiyuan together, and for a moment, Li Huaiyuan felt that the whole world was his enemy.
Moreover, in the void illusion, in addition to his own sword energy, it is quite difficult for Li Huaiyuan to mobilize the surrounding golden spiritual energy. In the past, he could mobilize the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles, but now he can only mobilize the spiritual energy within a few miles around him, which greatly reduces the power. If he continues to fight, Li Huaiyuan knows that he will die.
In addition, in the void illusion, Shi Xuan can appear anywhere, and Li Huaiyuan cannot use the small nine palaces to trap him.
Although Shi Xuan now uses sword energy and thunder sound, which is several times faster than before, the Jindan stage is to use the method of thinking and casting. Taibai Gengjin Shield and Xianguang Locking Ring are two Taoist arts that are activated in succession. The misty white light envelopes Li Huaiyuan, and at the same time, the purple gold sword, a spiritual weapon of the two heavens, turns into purple light and swirls around.
Li Huaiyuan's idea was to take advantage of the stalemate between the five-colored sword light and his own defensive Taoist magic to detonate the purple gold sword and severely damage the five-colored sword light transformed by the flying sword of the spiritual weapon that seemed to be at least three-layer perfect. Only in this way would he have the opportunity to use the escape method to find an opportunity to leave.
Originally, Li Huaiyuan had overestimated Shi Xuan's strength. Two spiritual weapons with power equivalent to the perfection of two layers of heaven, plus the fourth-level void illusion, and another fourth-level Taoist magic, just achieving such strength after achieving the golden elixir, it is really amazing.
Who knew that the five-colored sword light controlled by Shi Xuan had the power of the perfection of the three layers of heaven when they met, which was really beyond Li Huaiyuan's expectation, and he almost lost his mind! Many of the expected means could not be used, and he could only use the method of forcing Qiao Mubai to retreat with the self-destructing spiritual weapon.
Taibai Gengjin Shield and Xianguang Locking Ring are both fifth-level gold-based Taoist magic. Li Huaiyuan is very confident in them. Even if he can't resist them in the end, he can buy time for self-destruction. Besides, Taoist magic is performed by intention, layer by layer. He has enough sword energy and can perform thousands of them.
The five-color sword light is beautiful and dreamy. After it hits Taibai Gengjin Shield, it is like passing through a dream bubble, without even a ripple. The Xianguang Locking Ring behind is also like a decoration. At the speed of sword energy and thunder, Li Huaiyuan has no reaction at all, and watched the five-color sword light circle around his neck.
Shi Xuan thought that Li Huaiyuan was doomed to die after being caught off guard, but after Li Huaiyuan's head flew away, a pretty white lotus grew on his neck, blooming layer after layer of white petals. The white petals looked soft and soft, but they resisted the five-color sword light.
Then another head of Li Huaiyuan grew out from the middle of the white petals, and the head that flew away turned into a white petal.
Although Shi Xuan was surprised, his hands were not slow. A majestic, sacred and worshipful golden bridge appeared above the petals and Li Huaiyuan's head.
The space was frozen, the fluctuations of the Taoist magic stagnated, and the opening of the petals seemed to slow down. Then the five-colored sword light circled again and cut off the head. At the same time, the five-colored light shone, cutting the head and body into countless small pieces.
After a slowdown, the white lotus continued to bloom, but nothing grew anymore. Finally, it slowly withered and the petals turned blood red.
The Tai Chi diagram can not only determine the earth, fire, feng shui, time and space, but also various causes and effects, and changes in the soul. Although these powers are not strong now, the mystery is hard to describe.
Li Huaiyuan's shrill cry seemed to echo in Shi Xuan's empty fantasy: "No!" "How is it possible!" He really died unwillingly!
With a wave of his hand, Li Huaiyuan's storage bag and the purple-gold sword flew into Shi Xuan's hands. Shi Xuan now had deep doubts about Li Huaiyuan. Even if the method just now was not powerful, it was only equivalent to the fifth or sixth level of Taoism, otherwise the Tai Chi diagram could not be settled at all, but the mysterious and wonderful thing was definitely not the method that should be used below the Yuanshen!
The gap between above and below the Yuanshen is much larger than the gap between the Jindan and the Shenhun. It does not refer to power, but to the level. For example, many Taiyin Moonlight Beasts with the strength of Shenhun combined can be equivalent to Jindan, but no matter how many Taiyin Moonlight Beasts with the strength of Yinshen are combined, they cannot be compared with the Yuanshen.
Opening Li Huaiyuan's storage bag, it was found that in addition to two jade slips, Li Huaiyuan only had one golden-natured top-grade spirit stone, twelve top-grade spirit stones, and another spirit weapon flying sword.
Picking up a jade slip, Shi Xuan released his consciousness, which contained Li Huaiyuan's swordsmanship experience, so he picked up another one, but the content inside made Shi Xuan's face change.
Because it contains a secret method to achieve the Yuanshen! Compared with normal cultivation, this method of achieving the Yuanshen seems easy and unrestricted. The general meaning is that no matter what grade of Jindan you are, first find a magic weapon, then use the secret method, and refine the soul with its Yuanling day and night, spend hundreds of years, and finally combine the soul with the Yuanling, and then achieve the way of immortality.
Of course, this secret method also has great flaws. First of all, magic weapons are rare, and it is best to choose pure yang magic weapons, because of the characteristics of this secret method, when the soul and the Yuanling are combined, the yin energy is very heavy, and it is easy to attract the first heavenly tribulation. The cultivators who rely on this secret method to achieve Taoism have no ability to cross the tribulation at all, so only the pure yang magic weapon can be foolproof. As for the Tongtian Lingbao, don't think about it. The Yuanling has already taken shape, and it will be obvious who will merge with whom at that time.
Secondly, for cultivators who rely on this secret method to achieve the Yuanshen, there is no hope of surviving the next few days of heavenly tribulations. However, given the stagnation of their cultivation, it is likely that the second day of heavenly tribulation will not come for hundreds of thousands of years, which can be regarded as indirect immortality.
Thirdly, for immortal methods, don't even think about practicing them. Even Taoist methods will only retain those that are compatible with the nature of magic weapons.
Finally, the secret method is dangerous and requires caution in practice. Not only is the process extremely dangerous, but if you are not careful, your soul will be scattered. Moreover, when it is finally combined with the Yuanling, there is only a 10% to 20% chance of success. However, compared with the ethereal Yuanshen Avenue of the authentic Taoist school, this secret method at least allows people to find the direction step by step.
Shi Xuan took a long breath and firmly put the jade slip into the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle. He was determined on his path, so he could resist the temptation of this secret method, but if this secret method was leaked, it would definitely cause a bloody storm in the world of cultivation. But Shi Xuan was very confused. According to his own knowledge, there has never been a similar secret method in this world!
After putting away the illusion of the void, the surroundings were peaceful. The Qi-inducing cultivators who were usually busy here had already left the cave to hide. Shi Xuan calmed down and stopped thinking about this clueless matter. He turned to look at the Mountain and River Pearl. When he practiced the five external Taoist magic skills before, the information left by Qing Yunzi was concealed, saying that there would be great benefits after the golden elixir.
Now he has seen the great benefits, a colorful flying sword that can protect against the five elements of defense Taoist magic below the eighth level or spiritual weapons of equal power. Now he wants to see what the "Baolu" calls this colorful flying sword.
As expected, as Shi Xuan achieved the golden elixir, the information in the "Baolu" in the Mountain and River Pearl suddenly increased. Shi Xuan immersed his consciousness in it and began to read it.
After reading it, Shi Xuan's face changed constantly. This five-colored flying sword was completely different from what he had imagined. No wonder it looked like Taoist magic but not Taoist magic, like a spiritual weapon but not a spiritual weapon. It was not the Taoist magic that his master had judged back then, which was split and then used to achieve the golden elixir combination. It might even be that the method of splitting Taoist magic was derived from this supreme technique.
