"The Heavenly King said: The Tao is to be entered with sincerity, to be guarded with silence, and to be used with gentleness. To be sincere is to be foolish, to be silent is to be silent..."

A middle-aged Taoist in yellow clothes sat at the top and chanted scriptures. His voice was not loud but very bright and clear. Every word seemed to be deeply imprinted in people's hearts along with his voice.

Below, a group of Taoist priests in black followed the chanting. Their voices were sometimes high, sometimes low, and sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Their chanting was not very uniform, but their voices were clear and full of vigor.

After chanting for half an hour, the task was finally completed.

The middle-aged Taoist in yellow said: "The Divine Heavenly King Sutra is the foundation of our sect's practice. Although there is no specific practice tips, it points directly to the great way. You must recite it silently at least a hundred times every day..."

Many young black-robed Taoists responded in unison and left the hall in an orderly manner.

The middle-aged Taoist in yellow said, "Gao Xian, please stay."

Gao Xian, who was dressed in black, stepped out of the queue and came to the middle-aged Taoist in yellow, bowing and saying, "Teacher."

"You have great aspirations, observe the precepts very strictly, and work very hard. You are also gifted in swordsmanship, and no one of your generation can match you."

The Taoist in yellow smiled and said, "Now that you have achieved Nascent Soul status, I will teach you the Divine Sky Sword Scripture today. Go back and practice well. You are not allowed to teach me privately."

"Yes, teacher." Gao Xian bowed and replied seriously.

The Taoist in yellow flicked his long sleeves, and a golden rune condensed out of thin air and imprinted on Gao Xian's forehead.

Gao Xian was in a trance, and a complete copy of "Shenxiao Sword Manual" appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After a long while, Gao Xian came to his senses and thanked the Taoist in yellow again.

"Practice hard and don't let me down. Go down and rest first." The Taoist in yellow knew that this kind of sword intent inheritance consumed a lot of spiritual power. Gao Xian was only at the Nascent Soul stage and had just obtained the sword scripture. It would take a long time for him to digest and absorb the sword intent.

He also gave Gao Xian some relevant elixirs and asked Gao Xian to go back and recuperate.

Coming out of the main hall, Gao Xian walked around and came to the back hall to find the quiet room where his family lived. This was actually a south-facing building divided into dozens of quiet rooms.

Only the direct descendants of the sect who are at the Jindan realm or above are qualified to live here.

The quiet room was only a few dozen feet in radius, with empty walls and only a bed, a desk, and a cushion for sitting. It was very simple.

This is the center of the Shenxiao Sword Sect, surrounded by strict defenses and rich and pure spiritual energy. It is the most suitable place for cultivation.

Gao Xian has been in this world for ten years. He started practicing in the Shenxiao Sword Sect at the age of seven. He has preserved his complete memory. Even though his spiritual consciousness has been sealed by the Jade Pivot Mirror, his starting point is much stronger than those youngsters.

This spiritual realm should be modeled after the Middle Ages, and the spiritual energy is extremely rich. The people accepted by the Shenxiao Sword Sect are all rare talents, and most of them can achieve golden elixir at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Gao Xian, however, succeeded in refining the golden elixir at the age of twelve and achieved Nascent Soul at the age of seventeen. He was also the greatest genius in the history of the Shenxiao Sword Sect.

It's just that the Shenxiao Sword Sect is very powerful, and the real leaders are all level 6. Although Gao Xian is a Nascent Soul, he is only a direct disciple in the sect and can only practice with the yellow-robed Taoist Jin Yuanyang every day.

Jin Yuanyang was originally a powerful figure in the Medieval Era, so it was reasonable for the spiritual realm to imitate the Medieval Era.

Gao Xian didn't expect that it would be so easy to get the "Shenxiao Sword Sutra" without having to go through any difficult tests, which also made him quite happy.

Even if I can't get the Heart King Pill in the end, it would not be in vain to inherit the "Shenxiao Sword Sutra".

The Divine Xiao Sword Scripture was imprinted in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness through the inheritance of sword intent. Although Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness was sealed, his realm as a swordsman remained.

The concept of this sword manual is profound, and the framework of the sword technique is very stable and solid, but the specific sword skills are far worse.

The complete cultivation method is also very rough, mainly to suit the spiritual environment of the Middle Ages.

Gao Xian sighed inwardly. The spiritual energy in the Medieval Era was hundreds and thousands of times stronger than the world he lived in, which was why he could breathe in and out spiritual energy so crudely and simply.

The method he practiced seemed too sophisticated and complicated in the Middle Ages and was not suitable for this kind of spiritual environment.

The only part of the seventh level of the Divine Heaven Sword Scripture that was of value to him was the Divine Heaven Thunder Sword Intention's control over the Thunder Sword.

He now finds it difficult to understand the higher level of sword intent.

Fortunately, he can practice with peace of mind in the Shenxiao Sword Sect. Although he doesn't know how to break through the spiritual realm normally, he doesn't need to worry.

The flow of time in this world is different from that in the outside world, so staying here for a few thousand years is nothing.

Taking this opportunity, he had time to review his swordsmanship. Although he had a talent for swordsmanship, three thousand years was too short.

During this period, it was inevitable to borrow external forces such as Taiyi Jinhua. Although his practice progressed quickly, he did not have enough time to settle, and his sword skills and sword intent became less round and pure.

Day after day, year after year.

The days of cultivation in the Shenxiao Sword Sect were extremely peaceful, and two thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Gao Xian had already advanced to the seventh level and attained the status of Heavenly Sovereign.

Although the Shenxiao Sword Sect is a large sect, Gao Xian's cultivation level makes him already one of the sect's top warriors. He is also from the direct lineage, so his position in the sect is extremely important.

On this day, Gao Xian was honing his sword spirit in the quiet room. This was a spiritual realm that seemed both real and illusory. No matter how high his cultivation was, he could not take it with him. Only the sword spirit he was honing was his own.

The sudden loud bell sound interrupted Gao Xian's practice.

The bell rang with some urgency, and it was clearly an alarm bell.

Gao Xian's heart moved, it should be the test of the spiritual realm. He has been practicing in the Shenxiao Sword Sect for two thousand years and has never left the sect.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

The sect was generally harmonious, and competition was kept within a certain limit. He had a smooth journey and did not encounter any danger.

Two thousand years have passed. Although it is not real time, two thousand years have truly passed in his perception.

It's good to hone your sword intention, but Gao Xian is in the spiritual realm and he is unsure. He doesn't know how long he will have to endure to break through the barrier, nor does he know what is the correct way to break through and get the Heart King Pill.

After waiting for so long, there were finally some changes. Gao Xian was extremely excited.

When Gao Xian arrived at the hall, he found that only Jin Yuanyang was there.

Jin Yuanyang has a handsome appearance, but his eyes are golden. He is usually gentle and likes to preach. However, he is not the same as the Jin Yuanyang who likes to slay dragons and monsters as described by Sister Bai.

"teacher."

Jin Yuanyang waved his hand to interrupt Gao Xian and said, "The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea is invading. This time our sect is in great danger. You should take a copy of our sect's inheritance and go to Jiuzhou to take shelter temporarily.

"If the sect is destroyed, you can find a place in Jiuzhou to rebuild the sect and leave behind a legacy. Then you will not let the sect down."

Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, Jin Yuanyang handed Gao Xian a Divine Heaven Dragon Slaying Order, "It contains the sect's various secret inheritances, many magical artifacts and elixirs, enough for you to establish another sect."

Gao Xian took the Shenxiao Dragon-Slaying Order with both hands, but he was a little hesitant, not knowing what to do next.

Normally, one would rather die than retreat, and live and die with the sect. Show enough loyalty and bravery to gain Jin Yuanyang's recognition.

However, the Jade Mirror itself should not have any moral concepts. The spiritual realm tests the cultivator's original heart and nature.

Whether to live and die with the sect, or to obey orders and flee far away, or to take the opportunity to cause trouble, it is not a choice to be made on a moral level, but to follow one's own heart and nature.

Gao Xian, however, felt that it didn't matter what choice he made, he just wanted to find a correct way to break through the level, and that was the difficult part.

After weighing the pros and cons, Gao Xian decided to stay. Being more loyal and brave would at least earn Jin Yuanyang's appreciation and perhaps gain some benefits.

He is a seventh-rank celestial monarch, and he also wants to see the capabilities of the dragon clan in the Middle Ages.

Gao Xian said to Jin Yuanyang with a determined look: "Teacher, I will live and die with the sect, and I will never live alone!"

Jin Yuanyang looked surprised. Just as he was about to say something, a dragon roar was heard from the sky.

In an instant, the bright blue sky was covered by heavy dark clouds. The roars of dragons echoed endlessly, and the mountains of the Shenxiao Sword Sect began to sway along with the dragons' roars.

At this moment, the world is like a small boat in huge waves, shaking and pitching as if it may capsize and break at any time.

A murderous look flashed across Jin Yuanyang's face. He was about to speak to Gao Xian when the top of the hall suddenly collapsed and an enormous golden dragon claw fell from the sky.

The golden dragon claws covered an area of ​​tens of millions of miles, covering all 360 peaks of the Shenxiao Sword Sect. As the huge dragon claws fell, they left a huge five-clawed mark on the ground, and all 360 peaks within the range of the claws disappeared... (End of this chapter)
