Chapter 619: Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Origin
"The Sword Cave is quite dangerous, fellow Taoist, please be careful..."
The old Taoist Shou'an said with concern: "The sect has lost two Nascent Souls in there, and I have no choice but to assign this task to our Yaoguang Palace.
"In the entire palace, only fellow Taoist has the highest level of cultivation and boundless magical powers."
Shouan sighed repeatedly as he spoke: "My vitality is declining, and I am most afraid of evil spirits and filth. Otherwise, I will go alone..."
Gao Xian smiled slightly: "Senior Brother has taken such good care of me, I should also share his worries."
He paused and said, "I also know a little about swordsmanship. Since the Cangjian Cave is a cave left by the Cangjian Mansion of the ancient sect, I am also quite interested in it.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank my senior brother for giving me this opportunity."
Shouan's old face also showed a smile. Gao Xian was really good at talking. He was clearly going to risk his life, but he said it as if it was a good thing and he wanted to thank him for it.
He also sighed in his heart that although Gao Xiancai was only three hundred years old, he was still more humane than most three thousand year old guys.
This has nothing to do with wisdom, it is entirely determined by birth and character. Most of the Yuanying in the sect are from aristocratic families, they have a very high starting point when they are born, and their cultivation has been smooth sailing all the way. Such people are inevitably arrogant.
Most people like Gao Xian who are so insightful and experienced are from independent cultivators. It is precisely because of this that these independent cultivators can often stand out from their peers and occupy high positions.
Shouan naturally praised Gao Xian a lot and promised that after the matter was over, he would let Gao Xian rest for a few decades.
Gao Xian smiled and made some polite remarks. After leaving Yaoguang Palace, he controlled the escape light and went to Yumei Peak.
This mountain is planted with various plum trees, and the plum blossoms are as clear as jade and never fade in all seasons. Hence the name Yumei Peak. There are several small buildings on Yumei Peak, which are simple and elegant in style, and look particularly elegant among the white plum blossoms on the mountain.
Several small buildings have names, such as Meixiang Tower, Xuemei Tower and so on.
Tai Ning lived here, thousands of miles away from his Tianhong Garden. The main reason was that Xuanming Sect was too big, and the location of Yumei Peak was a bit remote.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy here is abundant and smooth, which is more suitable for cultivation than Tianhong Garden. This is also the treatment that the true disciples of Xuanming Sect deserve. He, an outsider, can never compare.
Gao Xian had contacted Tai Ning with Xuan Ming Ling beforehand and knew that he was free. When he arrived at Yumei Peak, he saw Tai Ning, wearing a lake blue Taoist robe, standing in the open space in front of the small building, quietly admiring a plum blossom that stretched out diagonally.
Tai Ning sensed the movement of the escaping light in the sky. She looked up at Gao Xian in the sky and saw a bright smile on her face. She also waved to Gao Xian in a friendly manner.
Gao Xian landed right next to Tai Ning after he landed on the escape light. He looked around casually and praised, "The plum blossoms here are as fragrant as snow. It's a really good place."
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Brother, you have made great progress in your cultivation. Congratulations..." Tai Ning looked Gao Xian up and down. After more than ten years of separation, this man looked more handsome, his eyes were brighter and deeper, and he looked clear-headed.
The nine-pointed star between the eyebrows has condensed and restrained star power, which seems less overbearing and ostentatious, and is more in line with Gao Xian's gentle and elegant demeanor.
She couldn't tell the depth of Gao Xian's cultivation, but she could see that these subtle changes were manifested from the inside out. Especially the Pojun Divine Scroll, which was said to be a fifth-level Divine Scroll. It must have been refined by Gao Xian, which is why it no longer had the dazzling brilliance it once had.
Tai Ning was also a little surprised. Over the past ten years, she had begun to refine the Ten Directions True Kings Heavenly Sound Mirror, but she was still far from being able to control it as she wished.
The Ten Directions True King Heavenly Sound Mirror was the most important artifact in her cultivation of the secret method. The process of refining it greatly improved her cultivation. At this rate, she would have the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become a god in less than three hundred years.
She was quite pleased with herself about this, but when she saw Gao Xian again, she discovered that this man's cultivation had improved even further, and his speed of cultivation far exceeded hers.
What puzzled her even more was that Gao Xian still had a trace of mysterious pure yang energy. She didn't know if he had eaten some magical thing or got some magical weapon! Tai Ning had always been optimistic about Gao Xian, so she was willing to practice dual cultivation with Gao Xian. However, she couldn't help but envy and jealousy when she saw Gao Xian's great progress in cultivation.
She immediately suppressed these useless emotions. The sect knew that she had a close relationship with Gao Xian, which would have a bad influence on her in the short term. However, as long as Gao Xian could achieve enlightenment and become a god first, these criticisms would not be important.
A powerful person who has reached the God Transformation stage has a pivotal position even in the Xuanming Sect, which is full of powerful people. When she is promoted to the God Transformation stage, together with Gao Xian, she will be able to occupy an important position in the sect.
She must catch such a man! Thinking of this, Tai Ning took Gao Xian's hand and walked towards the small building. She smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, brother. I have some problems in my practice that I want to ask you for advice..."
Gao Xian was a little surprised that Tai Ning was so proactive and enthusiastic. But it was okay, he hadn't been close to women for more than ten years, so it was a good opportunity to have a good discussion with Tai Ning.
The clouds and rain disappeared, Gao Xian and Tai Ning hugged each other and talked sweetly. The estrangement and unfamiliarity after not seeing each other for more than ten years completely dissipated after many in-depth exchanges.
Su Nu Yu Shen is an extremely wonderful dual cultivation method. During dual cultivation, the two people will also have a subtle resonance at the level of spirit and soul. Such resonance is equivalent to a person meeting a soulmate. Naturally, they will be very compatible in all aspects and can naturally deepen their feelings.
This kind of dual cultivation is quite beneficial to both parties, harmonizing yin and yang, water and fire. Gao Xian felt refreshed, which was more pleasant and comfortable than being cleansed by thunder.
Gao Xian knew that Tai Ning was a man of many thoughts and that she was not of the same mind as him. In this respect, Tai Ning was very different from his other women.
However, Su Nu's jade body is really fragrant. It's okay for her to keep her heart for herself since she has given it to him.
"Junior sister, do you know the Cangjian Cave?" Gao Xian came to Tai Ning to reminisce about their old friendship and to inquire about the situation of the Cangjian Cave.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Shouan, it’s just that he doesn’t trust Shouan’s ability.
As a Yuanying who was about to die, Shouan would naturally be excluded from the power center. The information Shouan obtained was definitely incomplete.
As the sect's direct descendant with a promising future, Taining is also particularly close to Taoist Master Zhenying, so she must have more channels of information.
"The Hidden Sword Cave, I've heard about it. It's said to be a cave left behind by the Hidden Sword Mansion thousands of years ago."
Tai Ning said, "It is said that the founder of Cangjian Mansion was also a Pure Yang Daoist, but he died in the catastrophe ten thousand years ago. Cangjian Mansion has been passed down for thousands of years, but the leader Ye Cangjian was possessed by an evil spirit and destroyed his own sect...
"It is said that the Cangjian Mansion likes to collect magic swords. When they see a good sword, they will do everything they can to get it. For this, they have offended countless people. Everyone is happy that the Cangjian Mansion was destroyed.
"The cave left by this sect is filled with evil energy. There is also a terrifying evil spirit at the level of God Transformation inside. Two Yuanyings of the sect were ambushed by this evil spirit and died..."
Tai Ning asked, "Brother, why are you asking this? Are you going to search for the Hidden Sword Cave Heaven?"
"The sect has given orders, and we have to obey."
Gao Xian actually wanted to go see the Sword Cave, but he couldn't say it in front of Tai Ning.
"Brother, you must be careful. None of the Daojuns are willing to go there because the evil spirit is so strong inside that no one can tell what is hidden there. A small cave of the Hidden Sword Palace is actually not worth the risk!"
Tai Ning didn't care much about the Cangjian Cave. Jiuzhou was the center of human cultivators, and countless sects had been passed down in Jiuzhou throughout the ages.
There are countless ruins and caves left by these ancient sects, but most of them are actually of little value.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
After all, it was an ancient sect, so whether it was spells, elixirs, or magical instruments, they were all relatively crude and backward. The most valuable were some spiritual objects left over from ancient times.
Over a long period of time, these spiritual objects have become hard-to-find divine objects with high value. For this reason, even though these ancient caves are dangerous, they must always be explored and searched.
Xuanming Sect was such a large sect, so naturally there were people who were responsible for this kind of thing. But something went wrong, and two Yuanying Zhenjun died, so the sect leaders also paid more attention to this sword cave.
The Dao Lords of the Transformation Gods each had important matters to attend to, and besides, this level of cave heaven was not worth their efforts. For various reasons, the task eventually fell to Shouan.
In fact, it was obvious that this matter was to be handed over to Gao Xian, and Shouan was just a messenger.
Gao Xian was also very clear about this, and he actually could not refuse this matter.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that there is a peerless artifact in the Cangjian Mansion, the Wanjian Guizong Order, which is said to be a fusion of tens of millions of swords and the sharpness of the Nine Continents' divine swords. It is very magical. The whereabouts of this artifact is unknown, maybe it is hidden in the Cangjian Cave."
Tai Ning said, "Since you are proficient in swordsmanship, it would be helpful if you could get this item."
She reminded him seriously, "Brother, the evil spirits are strange and unpredictable, and are the most difficult to deal with. You must be careful and cautious, and never try to be brave..."
Tai Ning knew that Gao Xian had great cultivation power, but exploring the cave was extremely dangerous, and one could not do whatever was necessary just because one had great cultivation power.
Even the Daoist Master of the Transformation Realm would not easily enter an unknown cave. If the cave was really destroyed, even the Daoist Master Chunyang might not be able to hold on.
The universe is vast and endless, and even the Heavenly Lord cannot say that he can ignore all dangers.
Although the rumored Ten Thousand Swords Return Order is magical, it is not worth the risk.
Gao Xian nodded in agreement. He would certainly not be careless.
Tai Ning used his spiritual sense to send a message to Gao Xian: "Brother, I asked the Five Qi Cave Heavens. They all said that this cave heaven is extremely dangerous. It is better for us not to take risks for the time being."
"There's no rush for the Five Qi Cave Heaven. You should practice well first."
Gao Xian went to Wuqi Cave Heaven to take a look around, but he didn't want to take any risks for the time being. The main reason was that his path to becoming a spirit was still smooth, so there was no need to mess around.
After resolving the matter of the Hidden Sword Cave, there should be peace for decades. At that time, let Taixuan Shenxiang prove his Dao and become a god. But there is a difficulty. When the Yuanshen is formed, the strange phenomena of heaven and earth will attract powerful people from all sides, which is another big trouble.
This is why people like Wanshou all join the Xuanming Sect. If you want to achieve something on the Great Dao, you will inevitably face various disasters.
It was already extremely difficult to survive the tribulation, so how could there be any spare energy to protect oneself? Therefore, it was necessary to find someone to bless and protect him. Fortunately, there was still time, so there was no need to rush.
After returning to Tianhongyuan, Gao Xian arranged the household affairs.
When the appointed time came, he came to the teleportation formation, only to find that Wan Qingxia was there too. This woman joined the Xuanming Sect and changed into a purple-red Taoist robe. She looked less flamboyant than before, but more charming.
Wan Qingxia was a little surprised to see Gao Xian: "Daoist Gao is also going to the Hidden Sword Cave?"
Gao Xian smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Wan Qingxia smiled sweetly: "The Sword Cave is dangerous, please take good care of me, brother..."
