Zhenye was not speaking nonsense just for the sake of favors. Of course he had to conduct a thorough investigation on a genius like Gao Xian.

Judging from Gao Xian's past, he is a bit cunning and ruthless. However, he has a bottom line and will not do anything reckless.

Whether it is Qingyun Sect or Wanfeng Sect, Gao Xian's performance in the sect is remarkable.

In particular, Gao Xian angrily killed three Yuanying Zhenjun in order to avenge the relatives and friends of Qingyun Sect's master. Such bloody courage is quite rare among cultivators.

Because of this incident, Zhenye had a good impression of Gao Xian. Being grateful and daring to stand up is a very precious quality.

The Xuanming Sect is so large that it is impossible for even the direct disciples to be completely loyal to the sect.

Talents like Gao Xian can be used as long as they know their limits and are willing to work for the sect.

Besides, there was also the Pure Yang Daoist Master watching from above. Not to mention that Gao Xian was just a mere Nascent Soul, even if he attained enlightenment and became a god, it would not be his turn to stir up trouble.

Shinichi and Shinming naturally understood this truth, but they just felt that Gao Xian was so radiant that he seemed uneasy.

The key is that this guy is likely to be a remnant of the Tianhua Sect! Logically speaking, he should not be allowed to enter the top eight.

This is actually very easy. As long as Gao Xian's ranking in the Wanxiang Palace is deducted, it will be useless no matter how many phantom demons he kills in the Abyss of Spirit Sea.

Since Zhenye has interceded, the two Dao Lords should give Zhenye some face. Gao Xian wants to take the Great Five Elements Divine Light, so let him do as he pleases.

Dao Zun didn't care about the Tianhua Sect or the Great Five Elements Sect. There was no need for them to bother Gao Xian for this.

At that time, he would be granted the divine seal and be recorded on the Heavenly Ranking. Even if Gao Xian was a remnant of the Tianhua Sect, he would still serve the sect obediently and not cause any trouble.

Zhen nodded and said, "Then do it normally. Let's see how capable he is."

It is indeed quite powerful to crack the secret technique of Wanxiang Palace, but it is not so easy to get the Taoist champion.

No matter how high Gao Xian's cultivation was, he had no idea what the several Daojuns were talking about through the layers of magic arrays. But he sensed that someone was paying attention to him.

In the Wanxiang Palace, it is certain that he will not escape the eyes of the Daoist Lord Huashen. Gao Xian did not care about this, as he had nothing to hide.

Even if the unity of body and sword was exposed, it was actually nothing. He was just gifted with the ability to fuse the Five Elements Yuanying with the sword, so what!

Xuanming Sect has the Pure Yang Taoist in charge, so he has to be careful. As an outsider, he certainly can't be low-key. Only by showing his edge can he gain the attention and recognition of others.

Of course, don't be too cocky.

It's up to him to decide the importance of this matter.

Gao Xian patiently waited for Qingqing to finish answering the test questions before taking Qingqing away. The maze of Wanxiang Palace was actually a powerful magic array that sealed the entrance to the Abyss Sea.

It was very complicated to enter and exit, so he had to lead Qingqing. If Qingqing could enter the Soul Condensation Ring, it would be even simpler. The problem was that Qingqing was a cultivator who was taking the Dao Exam, and entering the Soul Condensation Ring would probably be considered cheating.

There's no need to be so clever.

When coming out of the hall, Gao Xian saw a gray-white figure flash into the hall, and the two people passed each other.

Gao Xian was deeply impressed by this cultivator in gray and white Taoist robes, mainly because he had a beautiful appearance like a woman, with a pair of ice-blue eyes that were cold and beautiful.

Unfortunately, this cultivator named Shui Qinghong is a man. At the level of Yuanying, it is still very difficult to disguise his innate nature.

Shui Qinghong's icy blue eyes turned and he looked deeply at Gao Xian who passed by. He was quite curious about the famous Pojun Star Lord and wanted to test his abilities.

He didn't expect that the other party was so good at solving the maze that he entered the central hall before him. This also made Shui Qinghong pay more attention to him.

He sighed in his heart, worthy of being a strong man who could kill Yuanying in the Jindan realm, he was indeed extraordinary! Gao Xian didn't think so much, he just felt a little sorry that the other party was a man, and that beautiful and cold appearance was wasted.

Walking out of another gate of the Wanxiang Palace, you will arrive at a deep and endless sea of ​​​​essence.

The Yuanjing Sea is actually a huge abyss. The endless yin essence that emerges from deep underground condenses like water, turning this place into a deep blue sea.

In fact, sea water is transformed from the essence of extreme yin. From this, we can see how abundant and powerful the essence here is.

This kind of extremely yin essence is also a kind of spiritual energy, but it carries the foul air from deep in the earth's orifices, which is very disadvantageous to cultivators. Daoist Xuanyang used his omnipotent power to place a Wanxiang Palace at the entrance of the Abyssal Essence Sea.

The extremely yin essence can be transformed into pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth through filtration and purification in the Wanxiang Palace, becoming an important source of spiritual energy for the Xuanming Sect.

The changes in the heaven and earth made the essence of the Abyssal Sea more and more dense. Many tangible and intangible creatures were also nurtured in the Abyssal Sea.

The spirits of these creatures are mostly contaminated by the demonic energy from above the Nine Heavens, so the creatures here are all evil and vicious, and are good at transformation.

According to custom, the Xuanming Sect named these creatures phantom demons.

Phantom demons are naturally dangerous, but as a kind of living being between heaven and earth, phantom demons are a combination of spirituality and the essence of yin. After being killed, these phantom demons will turn into various spiritual cores, which are very valuable.

For the Xuanming Sect, the Deep Sea of ​​Essence is like their own hunting ground. Every once in a while, they would send disciples here to harvest the phantom demons.

This is not only an important way for the sect to exploit resources for cultivation, but also a form of training for disciples.

For this Taoist exam, Xuanming Sect opened up the Abyssal Sea of ​​Essence. Of course, all the spirit crystals taken by Yuanying Zhenjun would become resources for the sect.

Nearly a hundred Yuanying Zhenjuns, this is very valuable manpower. Xuanming Sect naturally has many Yuanying Zhenjuns, but it is impossible to gather hundreds of Yuanying Zhenjuns to clean up the Yuanjing Sea at will.

A sect as large as Xuanming Sect also has huge expenses. Even Dao Lords like Zhenyi and Zhenye have to use all means to earn resources to maintain the operation of the sect.

Gao Xian could probably guess what Zhenye and the others were thinking, and he agreed with it deeply.

This is a very reasonable operation. Without this kind of brains, Zhenye and his people would not be worthy of leading such a large sect.

For him, he also prefers this kind of battlefield where he can freely hunt phantom demons. As long as his combat power is strong enough, he can gain a huge advantage.

Especially the mighty, endless and filthy essence of the Abyssal Sea, even the consciousness of the Transformation God Daojun could not penetrate it. He could let go.

The reason for upgrading the Pure Yang Spear was mainly because it had a huge advantage in dealing with phantom demons. Phantom demons were tangible but intangible, and their spirits were filthy and turbid, making them the most vulnerable to Pure Yang Qi.

The Pure Yang Spear was accidentally upgraded to the Pure Yang Divine Spear, and it would be easier to kill these phantom demons. If you are lucky, you might be able to obtain some top-grade spirit cores from the Abyssal Sea.

Gao Xian chose a suitable place with the help of the flower-detecting magic mirror. He led Qingqing and separated the deep blue and watery Yin essence and went down.

The Yin essence is like water, but much heavier than water. The cold and foul air contained in it will constantly corrode the body and mind of the cultivator.

For low-level cultivators, the Deep Essence Sea is no different from hell. Even a Yuanying Zhenjun cannot stay in the Deep Essence Sea for a long time.

Gao Xian activated the five elements lotus crown on his head, and the five elements golden lotus precious light hung down, like a layer of golden light covering Gao Xian and also repelling the extremely yin essence seven feet away.

Qingqing just sticks to Gao Xian and can borrow the protection of the Five Elements Golden Lotus's precious light. She just needs to be careful not to be contaminated by the negative energy.

Gao Xian led Qing Qing all the way down to a depth of nearly ten thousand miles. When they arrived here, the yin energy around them was as hard as ice and as heavy as iron.

The Five Elements Golden Lotus' precious light can only protect a three-foot range and is no longer able to protect Qingqing.

Qingqing's body was surrounded by bright and clear sword light. Although she had just obtained a Shenxiao Qingyun Fairy Robe, a fifth-grade top-grade spiritual weapon would require at least a hundred years of refining before she could truly control it.

At this time, she was still wearing the Qingxiao Tianyu robe. Although this robe was only a fourth-level mid-grade spiritual weapon, after years of refining, he could already control it with ease.

Together with the protection of the sword light transformed by the Shenxiao Tianfeng Sword, it is enough to avoid the erosion of Yin Qi.

Gao Xian could actually put away the Five Elements Golden Lotus Light, and rely on the Taiji Mysterious Light Formless Divine Robe to protect himself. However, the Five Elements Golden Lotus Light was very conspicuous in this extremely yin place, and could attract all the phantom demons around.

No other Yuanying Zhenjun would be so bold. No one knows what is hidden in the depths of the Abyss Sea. It is very dangerous to swagger around like this.

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

Gao Xian heard from Qing Le that within the 100,000-li range of the Abyssal Sea, there were only fifth-order phantom demons. Although the Abyssal Sea had endless energy, it was difficult for it to breed a sixth-order phantom demon.

There are almost no creatures of this level born. How terrible it would be to be born as a sixth-level creature! A fifth-level phantom demon is born without a real form. This is equivalent to being born with a disability! Even if you cultivate your primordial spirit, you are far inferior to a spirit beast like the six-tailed celestial fox.

Gao Xian had killed many fifth-order dragon-shaped monsters in the Taiming Spirit Realm and had a deep understanding of this kind of tangible and intangible thing.

The Five Elements Golden Lotus Light was very useful, and soon attracted a huge black shadow like an octopus. This thing was dozens of feet tall, and dozens of long tentacles extended hundreds of feet away.

The huge black shadow exuded a strong spiritual aura, which made Qingqing's heart sink. She immediately realized that the other party must be a fifth-level phantom demon, who had condensed into a primordial spirit, which was why he gave her such a huge pressure.

Gao Xian had already discovered this huge black phantom demon, and when the other party approached within a thousand feet, a red-gold divine light flashed in his eyes, and the Pure Yang Divine Spear instantly penetrated the heavy yin energy and penetrated into the core of the black phantom demon.

The black phantom demon does not have a real body, but it can condense into shape. It must have a core condensed from its soul to carry its consciousness and awareness.

Gao Xian is more powerful than the Black Phantom Demon in terms of spiritual consciousness, not to mention that he is also proficient in various secret techniques and is thousands of times better than the other party in the use of spiritual consciousness.

The Flower Mirror allowed him to break through the Yin Qi restriction and lock onto the center of the black phantom demon with one glance. The Pure Yang Divine Spear was a fifth-level secret technique, and it hit the opponent's soul center with one shot.

The huge body of the black phantom demon suddenly shrank and twisted, and it let out a violent wail at the soul level.

With Gao Xian's instructions, Qing Qing took the opportunity to fly forward with her sword. A bright sword light pierced through the deep and dark sea of ​​​​essence, leaving a long and sharp light mark.

The black phantom demon's soul was severely damaged by the sword and shattered immediately, and its huge body was shattered, leaving only a black soul core the size of a peanut.

Qingqing was also a little surprised. This phantom demon was much weaker than the dragon-shaped monster. It was killed with one strike of the sword!

She collected the black spirit crystal with a flash of her sword, and went back to happily show off her achievement to Gao Xian.

Gao Xian praised her a few words, saying that this girl was indeed talented in swordsmanship. The sword she swung out was like a fairy from the sky, and she had already begun to show the sharpness of the fifth-level divine sword.

If Yue Shenxiu were here, it would be difficult to kill the black phantom demon with one strike. This is also the most powerful part of sword cultivation. As long as you can break the defense, you can quickly kill the opponent.

After this battle, Gao Xian also tested the true and false of the phantom demon. This thing is far inferior to the dragon-shaped monster, so it is much easier to kill...

They killed like this for a few days. Whenever Qingqing felt tired, Gao Xian would send a beam of green divine light, which would allow Qingqing to quickly recover.

Qinghua Divine Light is best at removing evil spirits and restoring vitality. It is considered a divine skill in the Abyssal Sea.

Gao Xian also discovered that the Deep Sea of ​​Essence was very suitable for driving the Taiyin Mysterious Essence Wheel. This fifth-level low-grade spiritual weapon, a gift from Hanyue Zhenjun, was quite compatible with the yin energy here.

The power of the Taiyin Xuanjing Wheel can be increased by at least 50% when it is controlled in the Abyss of Essence Sea.

This spiritual weapon has been in Gao Xian's hands for more than two hundred years. He has always liked to defeat his enemies with magic and seldom uses magic weapons. Even the Tianhe Star Ring left to him by Teacher Xuanhua was not available for him to refine, let alone the Taiyin Xuanjing Wheel.

The extremely yin energy of the Deep Essence Sea reminded Gao Xian of this fifth-grade inferior spiritual weapon. He took it out and tried it out, and it really worked. Although he had not completely refined this spiritual weapon, he had no problem controlling it.

The Taiyin Xuanjing Wheel was originally a very powerful fifth-level spiritual weapon, and its changes in roundness and crescent were very subtle, and it also secretly matched the Bright Moon Sword Technique. Gao Xian used this weapon to perform the Moon Phase Sword, and the power was also doubled.

Killing the phantom demon was secondary. The key was to quickly refine the restrictions of the Taiyin Mysterious Essence Wheel during the battle. Gao Xian felt that if he could stay in the Abyssal Essence Sea for two or three years, it would be enough for him to refine this fifth-level spiritual weapon.

Fifteen days is really too short.

Now that Gao Xian has a spiritual weapon that suits him, his efficiency in killing phantom demons has increased a lot.

These phantom demon spirit cores are all spiritual crystal cores transformed from the extreme yin energy. They are very useful for refining tools, refining pills, and making talismans. They are very valuable. Gao Xian took this opportunity to kill more phantom demons to ensure that he was first, and at the same time, he could earn some spirit cores.

On the tenth day, Gao Xian was watching Qingqing fighting a phantom demon when he suddenly felt a strong malice. Sister Lan appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, with her hands forming a seal and a glowing aura around her.

A thick black and red seal appeared on Sister Lan's body, deeply imprinted on her. This also made Sister Lan's spiritual energy become abnormally weak, and the spiritual light on her body was about to dissipate.

Fortunately, a huge red snake as big as a dragon was circling around Sister Lan, trying hard to devour the black and red seal.

Gao Xian was shocked. Sister Lan was a spirit that descended from the outside world, and she could connect with both the high and the low. Therefore, Sister Lan had a characteristic that could not be predicted by divination. This was also the reason why he dared to toss around everywhere.

There are some mysterious spells in this world that can be used to predict and deduce through very subtle auras and traces. If it weren't for Sister Lan blocking him, he would have been exposed for doing those bad things long ago.

Malice suddenly descended from the sky. It seemed that someone was predicting his location and even casting some powerful curse? ! But the curse was blocked by Sister Lan!

I think it was someone who was taking the Taoist exam who couldn't help but attack him.

The reward for first place in the Dao exam is so generous, and the benefits are so huge that everyone will do their best to fight for it. Some people think he is a threat, so it makes sense for them to take the opportunity to attack first.

But who is this person? He attacked without saying a word. He is so vicious!

Gao Xian looked up, but could not see anyone within his sight. Only the dark and gloomy energy was surging...

He sighed softly: "The world is treacherous..." (End of this chapter)
