Xuanhuang Underground Palace.

In the vast grey void, you can't see the sun or the moon, nor the mountains, rivers or the earth. There is only endless darkness and depth.

A dark golden dragon shadow flashed in the depths of Gao Xian's left eye as he looked around at the void.

His soul is now powerful and his spiritual power has greatly increased. Although the Great Heavenly Dragon Seal has not been upgraded, he can see farther.

The void is filled with strong foul air, which greatly interferes with the operation of spiritual consciousness and can also pollute spiritual consciousness.

Gao Xian's pure Yang consciousness was greatly restricted and could only exert one percent of its power.

Under normal circumstances, Gao Xian's spiritual consciousness is enough to roam up to four million miles away, and the sensing range in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace is at most tens of thousands of miles.

The soul is strong, and the resistance to foul air is enhanced hundreds or thousands of times.

Even so, Gao Xian was unwilling to unleash his pure Yang consciousness here. The void filled with foul air was like a stinking ditch filled with mud. No matter how good you were at swimming, you would not think of showing off your skills here.

Fortunately, the Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon Imperial Magic Seal is very convenient and easy to use, especially it is not contaminated by foul air, and is most suitable for this complex void environment.

The Taixu Taoist robe and the Taixu Wuliang Wanxiang Crown, its Taixu transformation into the ultimate yin and ethereal emptiness, are yet a complete entity in themselves. It does not restrain foul air but can easily block it.

The void was so dark because of the thick foul air floating around like smoke. On the other hand, the sun, moon, and stars were not visible here, and there was no natural light source.

For low-level cultivators, it is pitch black here, and they cannot even see their own fingers.

However, cultivators below the sixth level simply cannot survive in this void. The thick foul air is like fine sand and dust that buries cultivators, making it impossible for them to breathe in spiritual energy or circulate their magic power and consciousness.

Without waiting for their bodies and souls to be contaminated by the foul air, the suppression of the foul air itself is enough to suffocate the low-level cultivators to death.

It is closed and dark without sunlight, and the name "Xuanhuang Underground Palace" is aptly described.

The Xuanhuang Underground Palace is extremely vast, has its own independent void laws, and is a completely closed huge cave. From this perspective, calling it an underground palace is not quite accurate.

Gao Xian flew slowly in the vast void for more than two hours before he encountered the first seventh-order evil creature: the six-armed sky ghost.

When he was in Xuanming Sect, he killed a six-armed celestial ghost. It was quite difficult for him to kill it.

The six-armed celestial ghost in front of him was a hundred feet tall, with a body as black as iron, six arms and three heads, each head covered with emerald green eyes, and a strong evil aura.

Jiuzhou Ding said that there were many seventh-level evil creatures and demons in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace. These were all transformed from powerful demons, born by absorbing evil spirits and foul air, so they were not restricted by the Golden Book of Creation and possessed seventh-level power.

No matter how powerful these evil creatures and demons are, their souls are infected by evil spirits and foul air, and they only have instincts but no real wisdom.

The same was true for the six-armed sky ghost. It did not know how to judge the strength of the enemy. When it sensed Gao Xian's subtle life breath, more than a hundred green eyes on its three heads looked towards Gao Xian together.

The green light emitted by the green eyeballs had terrifying penetrating power and went straight to Gao Xian's soul.

Gao Xian's cultivation was far superior to that of the Six-Armed Sky Demon, and when he was stared at by this guy's many green eyes, his whole body felt sticky, as if he had been splashed with a lot of paint.

It was not enough to break his Taixu Daoyi, and it posed no threat to his physical body or Yang Shen, let alone his soul.

That's it. Gao Xian also felt uncomfortable all over. This thing was really too dirty.

There were no outsiders in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace, so there was no need to hide anything. Gao Xian directly activated the Pojun Tiansha Sword, and the black nine-pointed star cut through the void and silently penetrated the three heads of the six-armed sky ghost.

Deep black starlight shone as the three heads of the six-armed sky ghost exploded at the same time, and its extremely filthy soul also collapsed.

The evil spirit and foul energy that the six-armed celestial ghost had condensed for who knows how many tens of thousands of years were also absorbed by the Pojun Tiansha Sword.

The starlight on Pojun Tiansha Sword shone again, dispelling the useless foul air and leaving behind only a strong evil spirit.

After absorbing the Hongmeng purple energy, Gao Xian's soul underwent a qualitative change, and the Pojun Tiansha Sword also gained a huge improvement, deepening the connection between the sword and the soul.

With these prerequisites, Gao Xian can use the Pojun Tiansha Sword to separate the foul air and evil spirits, leaving only the evil spirits that are useful to him.

Gao Xian can even cut off the evil spirit with his powerful Tai Chi sword intent and the sharpness of Pojun Tiansha Sword.

After all, foul air is just a form of spiritual energy, it is not impossible to transform or change. It's just that there is no need to do so, it's a waste of energy.

If you have this energy, you might as well keep it to eliminate the foul energy that has stained your body and soul.

Gao Xian is now as clear as a mirror inside and out, and any slight changes in external forces cannot escape his perception.

For him, it was easy to kill these seventh-level evil creatures and demons. The most troublesome thing about these things was that they were filled with strong foul and evil spirits, and cultivators dared not get involved.

In terms of combat skills and combat awareness, these evil creatures and demons are not as good as a fourth-level cultivator.

No matter from which level, there is an insurmountable gap between them.

The four-winged ghost tiger, the earth-swallowing toad, the blood god son, the six-winged centipede, etc., all kinds of monsters and beasts infected by foul and evil spirits, occupy various places in the void.

The most dangerous of these was the Filthy Shadow Demon, which was almost invisible, a shadowy entity that possessed the power of the seventh rank. Even more terrifying was the fact that the Shadow Demons moved in groups.

Any living being with emotional changes and aura will attract a large number of shadow demons. A large number of shadow demons can directly invade the sea of ​​consciousness through the six senses and spiritual consciousness of a person, which is very strange.

Gao Xian was able to see through the changes of the shadow demons with his mighty Heavenly Dragon Imperial Treasure Seal. He also had the uncontaminated Pojun Heavenly Evil Sword, but even so, it took him some effort to kill many of the shadow demons.

After this battle, Gao Xian became more cautious. Although he was powerful, these evil creatures and demons were very strange and could not be underestimated.

Fortunately, Fengyue Baojian can see the proficiency of Pojun Tiansha Sword. Every time a seventh-level evil monster is killed, the proficiency can be greatly improved.

This also greatly stimulated Gao Xian's enthusiasm.

The Xuanhuang Underground Palace is boring and depressing, but as long as the Pojun Tiansha Sword can be upgraded, everything is worth it.

At this rate, he should be able to upgrade the Pojun Tiansha Sword to the Grandmaster level before the duel. Adding the human spiritual light accumulated over the past few hundred years, he should be able to upgrade the Hunyuan Tianlun to the Grandmaster level.

Jiuzhou Ding told him to be careful about controlling his power. If his strength was too strong, it would arouse the interest of Shenxiao Dutian Xuanlei Jinshu, which would cause trouble.

Gao Xian didn't think so. He upgraded the Hunyuan Tianlun for his own practice, not simply to compete with Dongji.

Moreover, in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace which is limited to seven levels, the closer his strength is to the seventh-level limit, the greater his chances of winning.

Don’t let the time come when Shenxiao Dutianxuan Leijinshu helps Dongji with all his strength, but he is unable to cope with it, that would be too unfair for him to die.

Never place your hopes of victory on the other side...

Flowers bloom and fall, and for high-level cultivators, decades pass in the blink of an eye.

In Zhongzhou Daluo Sect, divine light was shining in the square in front of the statue of Yuanshi Great Heavenly King. Dongji Tianjun accompanied Xuanming Tianzun Li Zizai and appeared in the center of the teleportation array.

When the light of the teleportation array dissipated, Dao Hong, who was guarding outside, led the sincere people to greet him and bowed their heads, "Da Luo Sect Dao Hong respectfully welcomes Tian Zun, Tian Jun."

Li Zizai smiled and held out his hand: "No need to be polite."

Dongji Tianjun introduced in a low voice: "Daohong has guarded Jiuzhou for our sect for 30,000 years. He is very capable and mature. He has made great contributions to our sect..."

Last time, because of Gao Xian's incident, Dongji Tianjun was still very dissatisfied with Daohong. However, he didn't need to say bad things about Daohong in front of Tianzun.

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

Daohong has done a great job in Jiuzhou, and this is obvious to all. Even if Tianzun doesn't ask, he has seen it all, so it's not his turn to make irresponsible remarks.

Besides, he is such a person, how could he do such a sinister thing?

Li Zizai nodded: "The fact that Jiuzhou is so peaceful and stable is largely due to Daohong's contribution."

Daohong bowed deeply again and said, "I am only doing my duty. Thank you for your praise, Lord."

"You deserve a reward for your meritorious service. Here are two Langxiao Jade Pieces, which have the effect of prolonging life."

Li Zizai flicked his long sleeves and bestowed two Langxiao Jade Fruits. This thing would bear fruit in every calamity, and he also took a lot.

For Daohong, this kind of magical object that can extend his life is the most cost-effective.

"Thank you, Heavenly Lord, for bestowing the divine object. I am grateful for it." Daohong bowed again, but he did not hesitate to accept the Langxiao Jade.

He has no right to be polite about something bestowed by the Heavenly Lord.

Li Zizai nodded slightly. He did not like the strict and solemn temperament of Daohong and Dongji, but he still needed such people to do things.

People who are carefree all day long cannot do any serious work.

He glanced at Zhizhen and Zhicheng. Both women were talented, especially Zhizhen, who was truly gifted. Although not as good as Gaoxian, she was also top-notch in the world.

Zhizhen and Zhicheng both lowered their heads and looked respectful.

The Daluo Sect worships Yuanshi Datianwang, but Xuanming Tianzun is the strongest in the Daluo Sect. It's just that he passed on another Taoist tradition, which gave rise to the Xuanming Sect and other side branches.

Li Zizai asked Zhizhen, "Are you Zhizhen?"

"Your Majesty, it is I who am your disciple." Zhizhen replied respectfully.

Li Ziyi smiled and said, "I heard that you and Gao Xian are quite close friends?"

"Yes." Zhizhen didn't expect Tianzun to ask these questions. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't hesitate at all.

This is known to everyone in the world, and there is no point in hiding it.

"Who do you think will win today?" Li Zizai asked casually.

Zhizhen shook his head slightly: "My cultivation is shallow, so how can I be qualified to make random judgments."

She paused and then continued, "If I were to follow what I think, I would naturally hope that Senior Brother Gao Xian would win."

Dongji Tianjun's face was gloomy and showed no joy or anger.

Zhicheng's face changed slightly, and he was very worried about his senior brother.

Li Zizai laughed heartily and praised: "Zhizhen, it is indeed the truth. Our sect has successors who are no less than Gaoxian, very good, very good..."

"This little girl looks down on others!" A tender voice suddenly sounded beside her, but the tone of voice was connoisseur-like.

Zhicheng, Zhizhen and Daohong were all slightly surprised that there were outsiders here.

The three of them looked over and saw a delicate young girl standing next to Tianzun. She had bright features and a pair of bright blue eyes that were particularly beautiful and lively. She was wearing a blue long dress with a double-breasted collar and gold patterns, and a jade hairpin inserted diagonally in her hair. She was dressed in an elegant and luxurious manner.

Li Zizai introduced them to the others with a smile: "This is Fellow Daoist Lei."

Daohong, Zhicheng and Zhizhen suddenly realized that this person must be the spirit of the Shenxiao Dutian Xuanlei Jinshu, and all three of them bowed their heads to greet him.

"Douhong greets the senior..."

The delicate girl waved her sleeves and said proudly, "No need."

She turned to Zhizhen and said, "You are quite good-looking, but unfortunately your brain is not very good. How can Xiao Xiao Gaoxian win when I am here?"

Zhizhen said in a serious tone, "I didn't say Senior Brother Gao would win. I just hoped that he would win. Senior, why are you angry?"

"snort……"

The delicate girl was a little dissatisfied with Zhizhen's attitude. She said, "Today I will let you see how I kill that boy..."
