"Is this the legendary Phantom Demon Realm?" Gao Han noticed that the Phantom Demon Realm had an uncomfortable feeling that could disturb people's mood even from a distance.
He boasted that most of the time he could remain calm even when faced with a huge disaster, but now, just the sight of the Phantom Demon Realm made him feel irritated.
This was a feeling that Zhongli Tingzhou had never experienced every time he played in front of him.
"Have you heard of it?" Master Tian Dao put his hands behind his back calmly, looking like a master.
"I've only heard of this name. As for the origin of the name of the Phantom Demon Realm, I only know that it seems to be because of a creature inside it." Gao Han shook his head. He had no idea of the specific situation.
Tian Dao nodded gently and said, "This creature is called the Phantom Demon. It was born in the abyss and grew up in the abyss. It has existed since the beginning of the world. In ancient times, that is, the era of the immortals, the Phantom Demon once wreaked havoc in the Lingtian Continent, and was later suppressed back to the abyss by the immortals."
The two of them talked as they brought Gao Han closer.
"Did you see it?" Tian Dao asked.
Gao Han looked intently. Under their feet was the Phantom Demon Realm. In the center of the Phantom Demon Realm there was a huge, bottomless abyss. It was pitch black below, and everywhere was covered with black fog.
The black mist surged from time to time, as if something wanted to rush out from below, but was blocked, making an angry roar.
The roar was actually very low and not that loud to Gao Han's ears, but he could hear all kinds of complex sounds.
"This Phantom Demon Realm has restrictions, right?"
Tian Dao nodded and said, "In order to prevent the ghost demons from coming out to harm the world, the powerful immortals of the Immortal Era have joined forces to set up a ban here."
Gao Han was curious when he heard this, "Master, no matter how powerful the restriction is, after all these years, does it still have the power it once had?"
"The methods of the immortals are beyond our imagination. From what I have learned, the immortals sacrificed several powerful immortals in order to permanently seal the Nether Demon Realm." Tian Dao said with emotion, "This is the responsibility of the strong. When you have more power, the responsibility you need to bear will also be greater."
Gao Han nodded, "Disciple understands, thank you for your teachings, Master."
Tian Dao was very pleased to see that he understood this truth, and didn't even need to be told more. "You are better than I thought. I never need to worry about you. You are much easier to teach than your brothers and sisters. I have never been worried about them."
Gao Han's expression slightly changed. It was rare that the master actually brought up the topic, so he asked, "Does this disciple have any other senior brothers or sisters?"
"Of course. In my life, besides you, I have only accepted one disciple." Tiandao's expression was indifferent, and his face was no longer as moved as when he was mentioned by Master Zixiao before.
Gao Han was surprised when he heard this. "A disciple? Didn't you just say that you have senior brothers and sisters? Could it be that one of them is the master's child?"
Tian Dao just responded calmly but didn't say anything else.
Gao Han did not ask any further questions. The fact that his master was willing to take the initiative to talk about the past was already a progress. He would tell him about the future as well.
"Master, did you bring me here to train me in the Phantom Demon Realm?"
He felt that with his current strength, the ghost demon that had required the help of immortals to seal it back then might be able to swallow him up as soon as he entered.
"You will surely die if you enter now." Tian Dao's words confirmed his thoughts, "Do you know why the immortals sealed the ghost demons in the abyss of the ghost demon realm instead of killing them?"
Gao Han said without hesitation: "Because the ghost demon cannot be eliminated?"
“Yes, countless immortal monks died in order to destroy the ghost demon, but they were still unable to destroy the ghost demon’s leader. Finally, they chose to seal the ghost demon under this abyss.” Tian Dao looked into the abyss.
"Disciple, there seem to be quite a few ghost demons below. Could it be that the ghost demons can also continue to reproduce like humans?" Gao Han only took a glance and found that countless ghost demons were ready to make a move below.
Tian Dao nodded, "Of course you can. From today on, what you have to do is to find ways to kill a ghost demon, and you can only rely on swinging the sword each time without using the Eight Divine Swords or practicing the True Yang Heart Method. When you can kill a ghost demon, your master will increase the number of ghost demons."
Gao Han frowned and asked, "Didn't Master say that these ghost demons cannot be eliminated? How can I eliminate them?"
"You have to figure it out on your own." Tian Dao said calmly, "You still have to join the Wanxian Dao. There is only half a year left. You must do it within five months. Since you proposed it yourself, I will not let you leave before you can do it."
It sounded like he had walked himself into a trap. Gao Han frowned, "Will it be completed in five months? Isn't that too long? I have other things to do."
Tian Dao suddenly laughed, "Looking at your usual calm and composed appearance, you are indeed very arrogant at heart. Not many people can kill a ghost demon within five months. Do you still want to do it within a few months?"
Gao Han hesitated for a moment and said, "About three months."
"Okay, since you like challenges so much, I will give you two months." Tian Dao left him there after saying this, as if he had said two months instead of three months by mistake.
Gao Han didn't care. He didn't know how tight the two months time was.
The sealed abyss of the Nether Demon Realm, the Nether Demons cannot get out, and ordinary cultivators cannot get in, but Tian Dao always has his way.
When he came back, Gao Han saw him catch a ghost demon and finally saw the ghost demon's true face.
It was a pitch-black ball of fog, with no visible limbs or facial features. It seemed as if it was made up of a ball of black fog and was constantly struggling in the hands of Master Tiandao.
As soon as Master Tiandao loosened his hand, the ghost demon seemed to have a low IQ and actually fought back. Master Tiandao slapped it and it flew to Gao Han's feet.
The ghost demon seemed to realize that the human was a tough nut to crack, and after discovering the weaker Gao Han, it rushed towards him at lightning speed.
Gao Han did not choose to confront head-on, but retreated immediately. When he looked again, Master Tian Dao had disappeared.
After the ghost demon missed its target, it turned in the air and pounced towards Gao Han again.
Gao Han drew out the sword he carried with him. His master had instructed not to use the Eight Divine Swords, so he just struck the man on the head with the sword without deliberately using his spiritual power.
The ghost demon seemed not to have seen the knife and rushed forward head-on, and as a result, the knife accidentally passed through it.
This ghost demon was not injured at all and was still as fierce and aggressive as at the beginning.
Gao Han was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly dodged the ghost demon's attack. He looked up at the sky and said, "Master, can't the ghost demon be harmed by a knife?"
Master Tian Dao did not respond, as if he had already left.
Gao Han was out of options. He was just about to try using other magic weapons to attack when he suddenly remembered something. His master seemed to have made a request at the beginning.
You cannot use the Eight God Swords to attack Phantom Demon, and each attack can only be a simple swing of the sword.
This sentence may seem ordinary, but it actually reveals the solution to killing the ghost demon.
If swinging the sword cannot kill the ghost demon, there seems to be no need for the master to keep swinging the sword. However, he glanced at the ghost demon that kept rushing towards him.
The strength of this ghost demon is not very strong, which is within the range that he can bear. However, because the ghost demon is not static, it will counterattack with all its might every time. In addition to swinging his sword to kill, he also has to dodge constantly. In this case, how can he calm down and sharpen his sword?
Gao Han finally realized what kind of experience this was.
This test not only his knife, but also his willpower and patience.
When you keep swinging your sword but keep missing, the demon may always be safe and have endless power, but every time you swing your sword, you lose not only physical strength but also spiritual strength. Can you continue to keep your original intention unwavering?
It’s difficult. How difficult it is.
在意识到这一点之后，高寒现在终于明白，为什么天刀师尊会给他五个月时间，为什么其他人都无法做到。
高寒凝视着不断冲过来的幽魔，心慢慢的静下去，现在才刚刚开始，他怎么可能动摇，哪怕知道接下来他将遇到什么，可变强的念头，却始终没有变化。
如何能让这头幽魔静止不动，站着让他不停的砍？
高寒微垂着眼眸，慢慢的思索着。
或许，当初他应该先学会钱长老简化版的天都灭大阵，可学会这个阵法可能需要不少时间，时间还是太紧迫了。
高寒没有一刻像现在这样，意识到时间对他的重要性，以前总觉得他的时间还很多。
幽魔境上空，天刀立于高寒，正俯视着这一幕，看着弟子皱眉，眉间似乎隐隐有一丝烦躁，嘴角也不禁弯了一下。
“两个月，为师倒要看看你怎么解决。”
下方的幽魔境中，高寒没有再轻易出刀，在意识到简单的出刀已经不能伤害到这头幽魔后，他就决定走其他策略。
他从弥生戒里取出以前炼制的一些法宝，这些法宝的量比较多，都是布置阵法的法宝。
高寒将这些法宝丢在同一个范围里，然后布出一个禁锢类的阵法，按他的设想，他再把这头幽魔引到这个禁锢阵法里，把幽魔固定住，他再来试刀。
天刀看到他取出这些法宝，就已经意识到他的目的，脸上露出淡淡的笑容，只是越加深不可测。
以前不是没有人想过这个办法，但是没有一个最后能坚持下来的。
没有智慧的幽魔，很快就按照高寒的设想，进入了这个禁锢阵法，阵法一发动，幽魔就逃不出来了。
高寒站在阵法面前，手持着长刀，盯着不断撞击着阵法的幽魔，再将挥手。
刀芒又穿透幽魔的身体，不运转真阳心法，也不使用八神刀，果然难以挥出对幽魔有伤害属性的刀光。
高寒皱眉起，在不使用这些的前提下，真的能做到斩杀妖魔吗？
他不确定，但是师尊既然提出这些要求，应当是能做到的，他只是现在还未摸索到。
或许简单的挥刀，不是为了让他创造出新的刀法，新的捷径，而是要他以量解谜。
如果真是这样的话，高寒眼神越来越坚定，那便试试吧。
高寒开始重复的挥刀，每挥一刀，都正中阵法里的幽魔，但是第一次，都穿透幽魔的身体，仿佛勉物理伤害一般，因师尊不让他用其他方法，所以尽管猜测魔法伤害可能能做到，他也没有打算用。
他来这里，是为了变强，而不是为了找到解决幽魔的方法。
幽魔境的上空常年被浓浓的黑雾覆盖，看不到太阳，也看不到月光，更看不到白天还是黑夜，在这里，一直都处于一种雾蒙蒙的情境。
高寒不断重复着挥刀，仿佛不知疲倦，到最后他也不知道过去多久。
阵法中的幽魔，还是站在那里，任由他攻击，这段时间里，它一直在尝试着挣脱阵法的禁锢。
几天下来，高寒的身体吸收灵力的速度再快，也比不过每时每刻的消耗，方向一歪，这一刀并没有击中幽魔。
高寒撑着刀站在原地，往嘴里吞了几颗恢复灵力的丹药，药力迅速的挥发。
过了一会，原本消耗殆尽的灵力，又再次充盈着经脉。
不过一直这样下去也不是办法，高寒盯着光芒明明灭灭的阵法，或许站桩式的方法起不到太大的作用，他应该改变一下方法，他又重新布置了一下阵法。
原来的阵法经过幽魔不间断的撞击，早已消耗得差不多。
重新布置的阵法比原来的大了两倍，幽魔被禁锢在一个更大的空间里，能活动，只是范围有限。
这样挥刀击杀这头幽魔，难度就翻倍了。
“尽耍些小聪明。”高空的天刀淡淡地说道。
高寒可不管，有用处就行。
能够躲闪的妖魔果然不再是那么轻易就能击中的，这头幽魔虽然没什么智慧，好在还会闪躲。
这一劈一砍，时间又过去不知多久。
高寒的手越来越酸胀，每次只要感觉到体内的灵力快没了，他就马上服用丹药，借由被吸收的药力，还有无时无刻不在吸收空气中的灵气，再次挥刀，慢慢的，他也察觉到一些不同。
灵力不断的使用，不仅冲刷着他的经脉，使他的经脉宽度越来越大，也使他的修为越来越稳固，体力的灵力，也比刚开幽魔境之中，深厚了些许。
然而他的刀，还是没能斩杀这头妖魔。
“师尊，现在过去多久了？”高寒眉间凝着一丝不知是疲倦，还是烦躁，抬首问天空，他知道师尊还在附近。
四周安安静静，只有幽魔境的深渊里不断传出来的嘶吼声．
许久，天刀都没有回应。
