Chapter 204 Qinghua Small Cave Heaven
Gao Xian killed Xue Lingzi with one sword and immediately retreated several feet away.
He didn't sheathe his sword until the aura of Xue Lingzi's soul completely dissipated.
If the opponent hides in the Earthly Demon Formation and doesn't come out, it will be a bit troublesome. But if we chase him out directly, it will be easy to kill him.
Since the battle on Feixian Island, Gao Xian's swordsmanship has reached the perfect realm of a grandmaster, and he has also comprehended the sword intent of spring breeze and rain.
The sword power of Spring Breeze and Rain can conceal the light of Green Lotus Flying Rainbow Sword, so it can kill people without being seen.
His swordsmanship had reached such a level that even in a head-on battle Xue Lingzi would not be able to avoid this sword.
Gao Xian still prefers to be the sixth one and plot behind the scenes. It's always better to be more cautious, this is not a competition in the ring.
Xue Lingzi's soul was destroyed, and the blood light of the Blood God Banner naturally converged without anyone activating it. The Blood Demon could only return to the Blood God Banner with a loud roar.
Gao Xian took away Xue Lingzi's storage bag and used a storage talisman to put him away first.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with leaving it here. He used the storage talisman to collect the corpse mainly for insurance purposes.
Storage tools cannot store life. If a storage talisman can store it, it means the other party is dead.
Of course, when disposing of the corpse, one still needs to use the Six Yang Talisman or something like that to remove the negative energy and eliminate the remaining soul to prevent the other party from becoming an evil spirit.
After all, they are cultivators of the devil, and their cultivation methods are all weird and evil ones that destroy human nature.
According to gossip, most of the evil spirits are transformed from demon cultivators! Gao Xian thinks this rumor is mainly to discredit the demon cultivators.
This can be considered political correctness in the world of cultivators. Even if some people think this statement is nonsense, they will not openly oppose it.
The Blood God Banner, without anyone controlling it, just floated in the air. The Blood Demon tumbled and transformed on the banner, sometimes turning into a human form, sometimes turning into a ball of flame dancing and shining, but no matter how it changed, it could not escape from the banner.
Gao Xian was quite interested in the Blood God Banner. The long banner was actually a rectangular flag held up by a pole and was a commonly used ceremonial object.
The black metal pole of the long banner is nine feet long, and the blood-colored banner is more than six feet long, with a fine and shiny texture. On the long banner, there is a blood demon dancing, emitting a strong bloody aura.
The long banner suspended in the air looked quite majestic as the demonic flames surged.
Gao Xian didn't know what to do with this thing for a moment. It was after all a third-level magic weapon, but the problem was that he didn't know how to use it.
This thing looks evil, so Gao Xian thought about it and decided to let his clone try it.
The clone, whose body was covered with black burn marks after being corroded by the blood demon, walked over and grasped the Blood God Banner.
The Blood God Banner did not react at all. Gao Xian tried to use his clone to mobilize his magic power, and the next moment, blood light surged on the Blood God Banner.
His clone used the Great Five Elements Sword Qi to hold out for a few breaths, and relied on the vajra to protect his body to hold out for a few more breaths, and then continued to melt in the cold and filthy blood light.
When the blood faded, a pool of strange flesh and blood remained, which looked like the base left after a candle burned out.
This result was not beyond Gao Xian's expectations. After all, this long banner was a third-tier magic weapon. Without the corresponding secret method to activate it, it would definitely cause a backlash of the magic weapon's power.
Fortunately, it is just a magic weapon after all, and the things inside it do not have independent intelligence. As long as you don't stimulate it with magic power, it will be fine.
Gao Xian tried to put the long banner into the storage bag without any accidents.
He took out the storage bag left by Xue Lingzi, but did not find the Green Lotus Sword Order in it. Instead, he found two jade slips that inherited the secret techniques of the Blood Evil Sect.
"Blood Demonic Scripture", "Hundred Ghosts Scripture".
Both jade slips are dark red in color, and one can faintly sense the strong evil energy inside as soon as they are picked up.
Gao Xian had no interest in these magic spells. He specialized in the Great Five Elements Kung Fu to complete the foundation building. Even if he wanted to switch to other methods, it was impossible for him to switch to the magic spells.
However, for the purpose of learning, he still used his spiritual sense to briefly look at the contents of the two jade slips.
The jade slips contain powerful spiritual inheritance, at least left by a Jindan-level demon cultivator.
Gao Xian did not accept the mark of spiritual consciousness. He just read the contents of the jade slip through the method of spiritual consciousness.
After reading through the two secret inheritances, Gao Xian realized that the long banner in his hand was called the Blood God Banner.
The name of the Blood God Banner sounds impressive, but it should actually be called the Blood Demon Banner. It was created by the Blood Evil Sect's successive leaders through continuous killing and blood sacrifice, thus nurturing a fully formed blood demon and elevating the Blood God Banner to the level of a third-tier magic weapon.
Magical instruments, magic treasures, spiritual instruments, and divine instruments are all divided into nine levels and thirty-six grades.
Of course, there are no first- and second-level magic weapons and spiritual tools. The lowest level is the third level. (The detailed settings have been mentioned before, so I won’t repeat them.) The first level corresponds to Qi training, the second level corresponds to foundation building, and the third level corresponds to the golden elixir.
The skeleton-like cultivator who was controlling the Blood God Banner was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so naturally it was difficult for him to control the Blood God Banner as he wished.
Otherwise, as soon as the Shadowless Robe gets close, it will be suppressed by the power of the Blood God Banner and reveal its whereabouts, leaving no chance for a sneak attack on the opponent.
No matter how powerful the Spring Breeze and Rain sword power is, I'm afraid it won't be able to break through the protection of the Blood God Banner.
After Gao Xian read the two jade slips, he felt that the guy had bad luck. He was killed by him even though he was holding the third-level magic weapon Blood God Banner...
Judging from the "Blood Demonic Spirit Scripture", the Blood God Banner is really quite useful.
This was also the first magic weapon he obtained. The Fengyue Treasure Mirror didn't count, but the Lingxi Sword could barely be considered a third-tier magic weapon. After all, it was a flying sword at the spiritual weapon level before. But it was still far inferior to the Blood God Banner.
Gao Xian felt that the Blood God Banner had great potential, so there was no need to rush to sell it, since it was a third-tier magic weapon after all! By reading the two secret techniques, Gao Xian probably guessed that the magic array inside should be the Earthly Evil Magic Array.
Although this magic circle looks simple, it is of the third level.
Gao Xian re-entered the Disha formation and found all thirty-six formation flags through his spiritual sense.
The formation flag is a three-foot-long black triangular flag with intricate blood-red runes embroidered on the flag and a slot on the flagpole for inlaying spirit stones.
The thirty-six formation flags were all made of very good materials. This formation was also very simple to set up, and only required the corresponding positions to be set.
If one wants to activate the magic circle, one needs the Blood God Banner to preside over it, or a Jindan Zhenren who is proficient in magic circles.
No matter what, the third-level magic array should be very valuable. Even if it can't be used, it should be able to sell for a large sum of spirit stones!
Gao Xian pondered for a while. Things like the Blood God Banner and the Formation Flags are of relatively high level and he couldn't figure them out for the time being.
Let’s get down to business first.
Gao Xian took out the cultivator's body again. He didn't find the Azure Lotus Sword Order in the cultivator's storage bag, so it should be on him.
For safety reasons, Gao Xian didn't touch this guy just now.
After making sure the other person was dead, Gao Xian first used a Six Yang Talisman to remove the Yin Qi from the corpse. Then he reached out and fumbled around, and found the Qinglian Sword Order in the man's sleeve pocket.
This Green Lotus Sword Token looks exactly the same as his Green Lotus Sword Token on the surface, but it is more than twice as heavy.
Gao Xian used his spiritual sense to sense and discovered that there was a cold and foul evil aura deep within the Qinglian Sword.
He suddenly realized that this person must have used the Blood God Banner to forcibly open the Green Lotus Sword Order.
This sword order should have been integrated with other sword orders, so the weight is very different.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Gao Xian tried to activate the Green Lotus Feihong Sword, and sure enough, it resonated faintly with the Green Lotus Sword. However, due to the obstruction of the bloody evil spirit, the resonance was very obscure.
Holding the Green Lotus Sword Order in his hand, Gao Xian activated the Green Lotus Feihong Sword while trying to control the sword's intent to cut off the bloody evil spirit.
There is progress, but it is slow.
Gao Xian was not in a hurry. He found a closed stone chamber and took some Jinyuan Pill to rest.
This battle was not very strenuous, but it was very mentally draining.
The other party has a third-level magic weapon and is protected by a large formation. He is really powerful.
After Gao Xian recovered, he used his sword intent to cut off the bloody evil aura within the Qinglian Sword Order.
When Gao Xian had nothing to do, he would read the "Blood Demonic Scripture".
By constantly dissipating the blood evil energy, Gao Xian also gained a deep understanding of the "Blood Evil Spirit Demon Sutra".
This secret magic technique is extremely evil and brutal, but it is also extremely subtle.
In his opinion, the "Blood Demonic Spirit Scripture" is much more profound than the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
This secret method is easy to learn and simple to practice in the early stages. It is indeed easy to master quickly. No wonder such a small sect has so many foundation-building monks!
After five or six days of hard work, Gao Xian finally eliminated the bloody evil energy within the Green Lotus Sword Order, and only then was he able to sense the spiritual imprint within the sword order.
Through the mark of spiritual consciousness, Gao Xian realized that there was actually a small cave hidden here!
The reason why Gao Xian stayed in the underground ruins was that he felt it was abnormal for these Blood Evil Sect monks to gather here. What was even more exaggerated was that they had set up a huge magic formation.
If you say he has no intention, I won’t believe it even if you kill me!
Gao Xian guessed that it should be related to the Green Lotus Sword Order. Sure enough, the spiritual imprint in this Green Lotus Sword Order contained a lot of information. It not only recorded the precise location of the cave, but also briefly recorded the history of the sect.
This sect is called Tianhua Sect, and the sect is divided into five branches according to the five-colored lotus. This is the inheritance of the Qinglian branch.
There is not much information about the divine mark, only that a great catastrophe suddenly occurred, and all spirits were destroyed. In a hurry, the sect could only seal the treasure in the Qinghua Small Cave Heaven, waiting for the opportunity for the sect disciples to use it.
Gao Xian looked at the information left by the spiritual mark and felt a little emotional.
I don’t know what happened at the time, but a sect like Tianhua Sect didn’t have time to respond and could only evacuate in a hurry.
I think the Tianhua Sect must have been destroyed, which is why this site was preserved until it was discovered by the Red Snake Gang.
Gao Xian came to the location of the small cave. Facing the thick stone walls, he really couldn't see anything unusual inside.
Only the Green Lotus Sword in his hand flashed slightly, reminding him that this was the entrance to the Qinghua Small Cave.
Gao Xian tried to use the Shadowless Robe to enter the stone wall, but still found nothing.
The Qinglian Sword Order in his hand is not enough to open the Qinghua Small Cave.
Gao Xian pondered for a moment and took out his own Qinglian Sword Order.
The two Green Lotus Sword Orders were placed together, and they shone with spiritual light at the same time. Under the guidance of the spiritual light, they naturally overlapped and fit together.
It didn't take long for the two Green Lotus Sword Orders to completely merge.
From the outside, the Green Lotus Sword Order did not change at all, except that its weight had doubled.
This small Green Lotus Sword Order now weighs thirteen pounds.
Gao Xian used his spiritual sense to activate the Green Lotus Sword Order. The six petals on the Green Lotus Sword Order slowly turned, and pieces of green light extended out, turning into petals, and finally into a green lotus.
At the same time, a green lotus projection appeared on the black stone wall in front, but the diameter of this projection was more than ten feet.
The rotating green lotus projection is like an open door leading to a deep and unfathomable space inside.
Gao Xian suddenly realized that this was the way to open the passage to the small cave. It was really ingenious!
He looked at the open lotus gate, feeling a little hesitant.
After pondering for a moment, Gao Xian decided to try using his clone first.
An avatar that looked exactly like Gao Xian walked into the Azure Lotus Gate. A flash of blue sword light suddenly entered Gao Xian's consciousness, and he instantly lost all contact with the avatar! The next moment, the Azure Lotus Gate closed silently.
