Chapter 618: Special People
With the Taiyuan Shenxiang sword in hand, he can control the force of thunder very finely.
The Xuehe Tianzun Huayuan Book was too powerful, and Taixuan Shenxiang could only barely control it. Only when Taixuan Shenxiang truly achieved enlightenment and became a god, could he truly control this peerless artifact.
The changes in the wood power of the Dongji Qinghua Shenhong Sword are partly in line with the changes in thunder magic.
In fact, most thunder methods are transformed by the power of wood. Only a very small number of the most superior thunder methods can transform the power of yin and yang.
Gao Xian had tried it before with Taixuan Divine Appearance, and he already had some experience on how to guide the lightning to refine the Nascent Soul. In addition, the smelted five-element sword fits his hand exceptionally well, so guiding the lightning to refine the Nascent Soul became even easier.
The Taiyuan Shenxiang Yuanying is much stronger than the Taixuan Shenxiang, and even stronger than Gao Xian's original body cultivating the Great Five Elements Yuanying. Because among all the secret techniques, only the sword technique was practiced by him with great effort.
Tai Yuan Shen Xiang uses the Bai Di Qian Kun Transformation Sword as his natal sword, with his body and sword as one, as well as his spirit and sword as one. It can be said that his Nascent Soul has the highest quality and the strongest power.
Although the Five Elements Sword was not truly smelted successfully, the power of the sword was greatly enhanced.
Ten years of continuous smelting also successfully transformed the Five Elements Sword into the Taiyuan Divine Phase Life Sword. At this moment, Gao Xian guided the power of thunder in the sky with a sword in his hand, and he was surprisingly calm and at ease.
As the power of thunder became stronger and stronger, the Taiyuan divine image began to gradually melt into a translucent state under the cleansing of the lightning. However, the Yuanying was so powerful that it actually held up the lightning and did not disintegrate.
The swords in Gao Xian's hands were covered with a layer of lightning, which also made his body bear some of the power of thunder.
The Dragon-Elephant Vajra Pestle of the Grandmaster level withstood the test. The scattered lightning did not cause any substantial damage to the body. However, the skin of the body was inevitably burned by the lightning.
According to the plan, Gao Xian was going to refine the Taiyuan Divine Appearance before refining the Great Five Elements Yuanying.
The combination of Taiyuan Shenxiang's divine sword was more solid and tougher than he expected. Although the lightning was strong, it was unable to truly destroy Taiyuan Shenxiang's Nascent Soul.
At this point, Gao Xian finally realized how powerful sword cultivators were. Although they only had one sword and lacked transformation, they were really able to resist and fight. In this respect, they were far superior to ordinary cultivators.
In fact, the one who can benefit the most from this thunder tempering is Taixuan Shenxiang. After all, he is practicing the magic skills, and it is a quick process. Although he looks the most powerful, his foundation is the shallowest.
After going through the cleansing of thunder tribulation, the foul air and impurities in the Nascent Soul were washed away, truly purifying the Nascent Soul and raising it to a very high level.
The effect of the Taiyuan Shenxiang refinement was not very good. The Thunder God's might melted the Taiyuan Shenxiang's Nascent Soul, but it did not remove many impurities.
Fortunately, in the process of guiding the thunder, Gao Xian gained a deeper understanding of the changes in thunder between heaven and earth, which also improved his Thunder Sword.
Unfortunately, the mortal thunder lacked spiritual energy and its transformation was too simple, so he could not achieve a breakthrough in swordsmanship.
Gao Xian saw that the Tai Yuan Shen Xiang had reached its limit, and further tempering would only cause damage to the Nascent Soul without any improvement.
He immediately transformed into the Great Five Elements Nascent Soul. This Nascent Soul actually borrowed the power of Sister Lan, and with the addition of the Small Five Elements Divine Light, it saved him countless time and energy.
Even though the Great Five Elements Nascent Soul is his main Yin Spirit, in fact his foundation is not strong enough.
Gao Xian used the Taiyuan Divine Sword to guide the thunder and directly used it to refine the Great Five Elements Yuanying. In the process, he also tried to merge his soul with the Great Five Elements Yuanying to withstand the power of thunder together.
He was also very careful, fearing that he would be struck by lightning and destroyed. Fortunately, there was Sister Lan as a last resort, so if something unexpected happened, he could always hold on.
As long as he could block it, he could transfer his soul and would never be killed by the thunder.
The Great Five Elements Nascent Soul was far less solid than the Tai Yuan Divine Form. In addition, his original soul was hidden inside it, so Gao Xian was extremely cautious in guiding the lightning.
As the lightning continued to grow stronger, Gao Xian's soul continued to tremble and twist in the lightning.
The Nascent Soul is actually just a stable structure of mana condensed from divine consciousness, and is fundamentally different from the Divine Soul. Only when it reaches the level of the Divine Soul will the Divine Soul be fused with the Nascent Soul under the tempering of the Heavenly Fire.
Only at this moment did Gao Xian understand that the soul is essentially very weak, which is probably the fundamental reason why the powerful people who have reached the state of spiritual transformation cannot survive the thunder tribulation.
However, there are also great benefits to this kind of thunder tribulation tempering. First, it increases the experience of fighting against thunder, and secondly, it can cleanse the soul through lightning.
His soul was originally an extremely yin spirit, but after taking three pure yang Yuqing flowers, his soul far surpassed that of an ordinary Yuanying Zhenjun, and was even comparable to a Huashen Daojun.
This is also the reason why Gao Xian dares to guide the lightning to temper his soul.
The power of thunder accumulated in the sky was released again and again, and its power gradually weakened.
Gao Xian felt a little unsatisfied, as there were too few opportunities to purify the soul like this. If only it could last a little longer.
It is not bad now. The soul has been tempered by the heavenly thunder, which has stimulated the power of the pure yang light. The soul is obviously much stronger and has more pure yang energy.
This is a crucial tempering for the soul, and even lays the foundation for true pure yang.
Of course, Chunyang is still too far away from him, so there is no need to think too much about it now.
His soul was cleansed by lightning, which greatly strengthened his foundation. In addition, his three Nascent Souls were also cleansed by heavenly thunder. This time, his spiritual power would not be directly improved, but his spiritual level would be greatly improved.
There are many other benefits that cannot be listed in a short time.
The dark clouds in the sky have not yet dispersed, and the last power of thunder is still accumulating in the clouds.
Gao Xian suddenly had an idea and thought this was a very valuable opportunity. He put away the Five Elements Sword and took out the Divine Sky Heavenly Pivot Demon Subduing Golden Whip.
The grade of this spiritual weapon is actually not very high, it mainly matches his "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and Lightning Sutra".
As a fourth-grade spiritual weapon, this golden whip has enough spiritual power, and it only needs an opportunity to transform into a god. The simplest way is for him to use his magic power to refine it day and night, constantly blessing his own spirituality.
If one practices such sacrifice and practice for a hundred or eighty years, one can at least transform the spirit into a god, and allow the central restriction of the golden whip to evolve into a divine weapon as its level increases.
Heavenly thunder contains the power of yin and yang, life and death. It has the power to destroy everything, and at the same time contains endless spiritual vitality, which can enlighten all living things.
Gao Xian wanted to try to use the golden whip to absorb the thunder and make the spirit inside it undergo a transformation. Of course, doing so was also very dangerous.
If things go wrong, the spiritual power in the golden whip may be completely destroyed by the heavenly thunder.
Gao Xian had a feeling that he had a great chance of success this time, because the thunder was not spontaneous, but was attracted to him by the foul spirit.
This kind of harmony between heaven and earth is extremely mysterious. It is a good opportunity.
Of course, even if he failed, it was nothing. He didn't need to borrow the spiritual power of the Shenxiao Tianshu Demon Subduing Golden Whip. With the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flying Lightning Sutra, he could easily control the whip.
The last ray of lightning fell, and Gao Xian raised his golden whip to meet it.
The mighty thunder that spanned thousands of miles connected with the Shenxiao Tianshu Demon-Subduing Golden Whip and was all poured into the golden whip.
The four-foot-long whip emitted blue and white lightning that kept flashing and jumping, but eventually it slowly died down.
Gao Xian flicked the golden whip lightly, and he could sense that the spirit in the golden whip had disappeared. However, it was not that the spirit had collapsed. It was more like it had fallen into a deep sleep.
It may be that the power of the heavenly thunder is too strong and the golden whip spirit cannot bear it for the time being, so it needs to use this method to slowly transform the power of the heavenly thunder.
This should be considered half successful. In the short term, I won't be able to use this golden whip anymore.
Gao Xian didn't care much about this. At most, it would be promoted to a fourth-level artifact, which was nothing compared to the several artifacts he had.
After experiencing the thunder tribulation, his spirit and Nascent Soul were exhausted and needed a long time to recuperate. The thunder tribulation also washed away the foul air, and the demonic tribulation that killed the emperor was resolved.
Gao Xian had no intention of staying here. He activated the Great Qiankun Shifting Talisman and consumed twenty high-grade spirit stones to ensure the stability of his spiritual energy.
In the mortal world, the spiritual energy stored in the spirit stones was consumed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, twenty high-quality spirit stones were turned into countless fragments in the foul air.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Fortunately, the spiritual energy converted from the top-grade spirit stones is sufficient to support the operation of the talismans and maintain the stability of this space.
The next moment, Gao Xian appeared in the Xuanming City teleportation array.
The Qinghua Divine Light was activated, and Gao Xian's skin, which had been charred by the lightning, immediately broke into pieces, returning to its original clear and jade-like appearance. He handed over five high-quality spirit stones, and then controlled the escape light to return to Tianhong Garden.
Ten years later, Tianhong Garden had not changed at all, except for the addition of Shui Mingxia.
Yongzhen was quite capable and he had settled the Shui family in just a few days. He also took Shui Mingxia to handle the Xuanming Order.
Gao Xian is a Yuanying elder. Although his disciples cannot be considered as the true disciples of the sect, they can still directly enjoy the treatment of inner disciples.
Shui Mingxia had traveled around the world with Gao Xian, so she had seen a lot of the world. But when she arrived at Xuanming Sect, she was stunned. This was the center of Mingzhou, so prosperous and magnificent.
For a mortal like Shui Mingxia, it was like a fairyland. Fortunately, after a few days, Shui Mingxia had adapted to this place. When she was in the capital, she made up her mind to kill the emperor. At that time, she had comprehended the sword intent and had developed a sense of energy. But it was still unstable.
When she arrived at Xuanming Sect, the spiritual energy was a hundred times richer than that of the mortal world. After staying here for a few days, she was about to condense into a Qi orifice and enter the second level of Qi training. This was also because Gao Xian had laid a solid foundation for her. After she developed a sense of Qi, she entered the Great Dao.
In addition, with sufficient spiritual energy and the ability to use elixirs to assist in cultivation, cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.
But Shui Mingxia was worried about the teacher's safety because she couldn't see him. She was relieved when Gao Xian came back.
Gao Xian was quite fond of this little disciple. After seeing her sword skills, he was quite satisfied with her progress. He immediately gave her many spiritual objects and elixirs and asked Shui Mingxia to practice with Yong Zhen first.
In ten years, he had taught enough. When Shui Mingxia was ready to build her foundation, it would not be too late for him to give her guidance.
Gao Xian called Qingqing out again and asked her to recognize Shui Mingxia as her junior sister.
The two of them were very different in age and cultivation, but Qingqing's personality was purer, like a real girl, while Shui Mingxia's personality was more mature.
Qingqing had never had many playmates, and she was still a level below Yongzhen and Yonghe. She was naturally very happy to suddenly have a little junior sister. Shui Mingxia was heroic and handsome, smart, generous and cheerful, and was also liked by Qingqing.
Gao Xian told Qingqing not to interfere with Shui Mingxia's cultivation. Although they were both sword cultivators, their paths were completely different. Qingqing's cultivation was high, so if she instructed Shui Mingxia, it would be easy to cause problems.
After explaining everything clearly, Gao Xian returned to his quiet room for retreat. He rested for three years this time, taking a lot of spiritual objects and elixirs to nourish his Nascent Soul, which restored his Nascent Soul and soul that had been cleansed by lightning.
Gao Xian had hardly gone out in the past few years. He would rest and read or write every day. Qingle and Taining did not come to visit him either. He did not know what they were busy with. He did not ask much.
Both beauties are in a period of rapid rise, and have obtained magical talismans and rare treasures, so they need time to digest them.
Gao Xian had no intention of looking for another woman. After spending ten years in the mortal world, he had gained quite a few insights, and it was a good opportunity for him to sort out his insights while recuperating.
Especially the Positive and Negative Five Elements Hunyuan Sutra, after being polished in the filthy mortal world, it has become much more refined. There is also thunder tribulation to cleanse the Nascent Soul, which has made great progress in cultivation.
When he is free, he can also teach his disciples and give some guidance on the cultivation of Yongzhen and Yonghe.
During this period, he only went out twice, both times to discuss the matter of "The Great Ode to the Intercourse of Yin and Yang between Heaven and Earth" with Fan Qingyuan, the chief manager of Wanbao Tower.
After more than ten years of promotion, nearly 100 billion copies of "The Great Joy of the Intercourse of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth" have been sold.
Fan Qingyuan was very satisfied with this. Gao Xian was willing to pay, so things would be easy. As for how many books were sold, it was not that important. Besides, the direct sales model created by Gao Xian was very unusual. The grassroots casual cultivators were like crazy selling books everywhere and developing downlines everywhere.
This situation will of course result in a large number of invalid sales, but it also allows "The Great Ode to the Joy of the Intercourse of Yin and Yang between Heaven and Earth" to truly spread.
Now this book can be found everywhere in Mingzhou. It is worthy of Gao Xian.
Gao Xian understood this very well and knew that the sales data must be inflated. However, it was impossible to check the accounts for such a thing.
Besides, he would be satisfied as long as he could achieve one percent of the actual sales volume.
In the fourth year after returning from the mortal world, the Shenxiao Tianshu Demon-Subduing Golden Whip was finally upgraded to a fourth-rank lower-grade artifact under his cultivation, which could be considered a gain.
In early March of the spring, Gao Xian went to pay a visit to the Lord of Yaoguang Palace, Shou'an. Shou'an had been given thirty years' leave, and now that he had nothing to do, he had to come and visit, give him some gifts to express his gratitude and to keep in touch with him.
Shouan's white hair has become thinner and he looks a lot older, but fortunately his eyes are still bright and he should be able to live another hundred or eighty years.
Shouan was also very happy to see Gao Xian coming over: "Daoyou came at the right time, I was originally planning to go find you..."
He pondered for a moment, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his old face: "Fellow Daoist, the sect has something to ask of me. I have pondered for a long time, and I think that only you can take on this important task!"
Gao Xian smiled. He had been in Xuanming Sect and had gained some benefits. He had to work for Xuanming Sect. This was normal. Old man Shouan had given him a thirty-year vacation, but there was no need to worry about it.
He said: "It is my duty to serve the sect. Brother, please feel free to speak..."
Shouan couldn't help but be overjoyed. This Pojun Star Lord is really a very particular person! (End of this chapter)
