The ancient sword abyss.

The sky is as clear and transparent as jade washed by water.

Beneath the blue sky is the vast ocean. The surging sea surface is raising huge waves, and the roaring waves burst into the sky thousands of feet high.

Gao Xian had never seen such a turbulent sea. Looking down from above, the surging waves were inky black. He only took a glance and felt that the turbulent black waves were like the huge hands of a demon, madly trying to grab his mind and pull it down.

The strong feeling of falling downwards made Gao Xian dizzy and he could not control himself for a moment.

"Star Lord, don't look directly at the sea below."

Yin Jiuli reminded softly, "The Ancient Sword Abyss is an ancient battlefield. It is said that there were human sword cultivators fighting against the monsters here. The dead sword cultivators turned into an endless sea of ​​swords that submerged all the monsters.

"This Sword Abyss is a forbidden place, where countless powerful demon souls are imprisoned. These demon souls merge with the remaining sword intent of sword cultivators and transform into powerful evil spirits proficient in swordsmanship..."

As a direct descendant of the Taiji Sword Palace, Yin Jiuli had come to the Taikoo Sword Abyss for trials when she was in the Jindan stage. When she became a Yuanying, she practiced swords in the Taikoo Sword Abyss for thirty years and knew the place well.

The most terrifying thing about the Taikoo Sword Abyss is the endless sea below, which condenses the remaining souls and sword intent of countless cultivators and powerful monsters.

Not to mention Yuanying Zhenjun, even Chunyang Daozun would find it difficult to penetrate the Sword Abyss. As the world changes, this ancient Sword Abyss becomes more and more powerful, and the evil spirit it emits becomes more and more tyrannical.

Yin Jiuli was very careful after entering the Ancient Sword Abyss, and would never use secret methods or divine sense to observe the sea below. Seeing that Gao Xian's eyes were a little strange, she knew that this person must have been shocked by the interaction between his divine sense and the evil spirit of the Sword Abyss.

She was not good at communication, and she didn't know what attitude to take when facing Gao Xian, who was the number one in the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly. Especially when the Grandmaster arranged for her and Gao Xian to enter the Taikoo Sword Abyss for training together, she felt very uncomfortable.

Although she looked gentle, she actually didn't like to interact with people. From childhood to adulthood, she had never had anyone she was really close to.

Gao Xian's cultivation was high, his demeanor and bearing were both first-rate, and he had a charming charm that made people fall in love with him. In the battle at the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly, she was even more impressed by Gao Xian's peerless swordsmanship.

However, she was not used to being close to Gao Xian, and she had no intention of getting close to him. But she could not disobey the order of the ancestor, so she had no choice but to stay with Gao Xian for the time being.

Gao Xian also noticed that Yin Jiuli was somewhat repulsive to him, but he didn't care too much.

No matter how handsome or generous you are, it is impossible to please everyone. Yin Jiuli's personality is somewhat similar to Taichu's, but not as pure as Taichu. She is more forbearing and gentle in her actions, but more difficult to approach than Taichu.

He also didn't think about establishing a relationship with the other party quickly. Dual cultivation always requires mutual consent. If there is some repulsion, even if it is done reluctantly, dual cultivation will not have any effect.

There is still a long time. Gao Xian believes that Yin Jiuli has the vision to see how outstanding he is!

"Thank you, fellow Taoist..."

Gao Xian thanked him politely and said, "Fellow Daoist is very familiar with the Ancient Sword Abyss, so let me lead the way."

Yin Jiuli nodded gently: "Okay, let's go to Broken Sword Island first. After all, Jian Yuan's evil spirit is too strong and sharp. Over time, it will be enough to damage the essence of the Nascent Soul."

"It's all up to you, fellow Daoist." Gao Xian naturally had no objection. Yin Jiuli looked very reliable, completely different from cultivators like Taichu and Zhicheng who were ignorant of worldly affairs.

The two of them flew for most of the day, and Gao Xian saw a long and narrow island in front of them from afar. It looked a bit like a huge broken sword floating on the sea.

Broken Sword Island was probably named according to the topography of the island, which is very appropriate.

When he got closer, Gao Xian discovered that Broken Sword Island was actually very large, more than a thousand miles long from east to west and dozens of miles wide from north to south. The island was covered with continuous mountains, all lush and green and full of vitality.

Seeing the fresh green in the inky dark sea made Gao Xian feel refreshed.

It must be said that the sea transformed by Jian Yuan was like an abyss, emitting murderous energy that was as sharp as a blade, which continuously penetrated into his sea of ​​consciousness through the interaction of spiritual consciousness.

Although this level of evil spirit was strong, it was not enough to threaten him because he had no consciousness to control it. It was just that the stimulation of this evil spirit made him feel very uncomfortable.

No one knows why Broken Sword Island is able to isolate the evil spirit of Jianyuan, so there are plants all over the mountain, and even some animals and birds.

Gao Xian and Yin Jiuli found a gentle hillside facing south and back to the north, with a flat beach in front and a wide view.

The two men took out their tents and set up camp. Gao Xian then took out the Qingmu Yuntian Flag and inserted it, which was enough to completely protect the two tents.

The Qingmu Yuntian Banner not only has a strong protective barrier, but also can purify spiritual energy and resist evil spirits and filth. It is a very useful array weapon. It consumes about ten high-quality spiritual stones every day to operate on its own.

In fact, Gao Xian also has a more luxurious Yunxiao Pavilion, but there is no need for Yin Jiuli to show off. He also doesn't know the truth about the Ancient Sword Abyss, so it is more convenient to live in a tent.

If something really happened, it wouldn't be a pity to throw away the tent. Yunxiao Pavilion would be more troublesome.

Having found a place to stay temporarily, Gao Xian and Yin Jiuli rested for a day. After they had rested enough and adapted to the environment of the Ancient Sword Abyss, they went out to sea together.

The ancient sword abyss is a world of its own, and evil creatures are born at every moment on the seabed. The two of them intentionally released the vitality of the first cultivators this time, and before they flew far, a group of monsters with wings on their ribs and human bodies and snake heads broke out of the water and pounced on the two of them.

These evil creatures were only at the fourth level, and had little intelligence. But they were born from the evil spirit of this world, and they followed the laws of this world. Each of them had a strong and powerful evil spirit, but they were far superior to ordinary Nascent Souls.

If he didn't have a suitable way to resist and was infected by the evil spirit of these monsters, even Yuanying Zhenjun wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Yin Jiuli and Gao Xian greeted each other, then she drew her two swords and faced the group of evil creatures.

Gao Xian supported Yin Jiuli from behind, and watched Yin Jiuli fight out of curiosity. He had fought with Yin Jiuli at the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly, and was deeply impressed by this Yin-Yang Sword Master.

The Polar Yin-Yang Sword he practiced was only one word different from the Polar Yin-Yang Sword. The foundation of the two sword techniques was also the changes of Yin and Yang, but the main themes of the two sword techniques were completely different, and could even be said to be diametrically opposed.

The Yin-Yang Sword is a pair of swords that are transformed from Yin and Yang. One Yin and one Yang become the power of Yin and Yang, which is perfect in itself. His Yin-Yang Sword is a combination of Yin and Yang that creates all things.

The two sword techniques, one is self-contained and the other is full of changes; one is inward and the other is outward. These are two different interpretations of the Yin and Yang.

It is precisely because the two sword techniques, one internal and one external, are completely opposite, that they have the magic of mutual generation and mutual restraint.

Gao Xian knew very well that Wuji Sword Master had deliberately taught him the Yin-Yang Sword in order to pair him up with Yin Jiuli.

If he didn't have such selfish motives, how could Wuji Jianzun be so willing to teach the peerless sword technique to an outsider like him? Gao Xian could completely accept this.

In his opinion, there was no difference between the two sword techniques. The Yin-Yang Sword, which could create a myriad of changes, was indeed more suitable for him.

After all, his studies were diverse, and his main focus was on the Positive and Negative Five Elements Hunyuan Sutra, which was very different from the path of ordinary sword cultivators who only cared about being refined and pure.

Yin Jiuli held two swords in his hands, one yin and one yang, both round inside and outside. The two swords circled and turned, and the bright sword light transformed by the yin and yang swords had already strangled a group of monsters to dozens of pieces.

As the blood flew, the broken limbs of a group of monsters fell into the sea.

Yin Jiuli was not intentionally cruel, it was just that this kind of monster had strong vitality, so when he drew his sword he had to try his best to strangle the opponent's body and not give it any chance to resist.

Gao Xian could see that after the failure of the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly, Yin Jiuli's sword intent became even more refined, and he was more decisive and fierce when he took action.

Although Yin Jiuli's sword intention was pure before, she had the problem of coming from a big sect, being too dignified and lacking the sharpness that a sword cultivator should have. But now Yin Jiuli has a bit more murderous aura, which makes her whole person more lively.

"Good swordsmanship." Gao Xian praised.

"I'm sorry for showing off my poor performance and for making the Star Lord laugh at me." Yin Jiuli knew that there was a huge gap between his sword skills and Gao Xian's, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when Gao Xian praised him.

Gao Xian said seriously: "Daoyou, your Yin-Yang sword energy can be transformed freely. It is more pure than in the Dharma Assembly. Your swordsmanship has greatly improved."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Yin Jiuli has been refining her sword spirit for the past few months and feels that she has made considerable progress. Gao Xian could see her progress in swordsmanship at a glance and hit the nail on the head about what she was most proud of, which really surprised her.

Even though she was somewhat resistant to Gao Xian, she now felt that Gao Xian and she were very compatible in kendo.

Gao Xian smiled: "Sword Master asked us to come to the Ancient Sword Abyss together because he hoped that we could learn from each other and improve together..."

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

"I'm ashamed. My swordsmanship is so poor that I'm afraid I can't help you, Star Lord."

"Hey, fellow Daoist, your swordsmanship is pure, why are you so modest?"

Gao Xian said softly, "The Yin-Yang Sword is extremely skillful. I need to learn more from you, fellow Taoist."

"Star Lord,"

"Since you are so reserved, I can only call you True Lord..."

"Ah... I, that's not what I meant..."

Gao Xian was well-informed and skilled in rhetoric. With just a few words, Yin Jiuli, who had little experience, was confused and had no choice but to follow his pace.

The most important reason was that he was a master in swordsmanship, which greatly surpassed Yin Jiuli, giving him a huge advantage in the communication process.

Once the first barrier of communication is opened, the rest will be easy.

Gao Xianzhen didn't need to do anything deliberately for Yin Jiuli. The two of them only needed to practice sword skills and discuss kendo on a daily basis, and naturally he and Yin Jiuli would have endless topics to talk about.

After cooperating with each other a few times during battles, they will naturally develop a tacit understanding.

The ancient sword abyss was filled with evil spirits and monsters everywhere. Even a strong man like Yin Jiuli would always be on guard and not dare to be careless.

In this state, Yin Jiuli would instinctively be more friendly to his companions. Even if it wasn't for talking, just having someone to accompany him was good.

Twenty years have passed, and Gao Xian and Yin Jiuli's relationship has gradually become closer, even very close.

Every day when Yin Jiuli came out of the tent, she would be in a good mood as long as she saw Gao Xian. For her, Gao Xian had become an indispensable part of Taigu Jianyuan's life.

If Gao Xian went out to practice sword-making and did not return for a few days, Yin Jiuli would feel uneasy, as if something particularly important was missing.

Yin Jiuli showed extraordinary talent in swordsmanship since she was young. She started learning sword at the age of seven and continued to practice sword until she formed a sword infant for three hundred years. She rarely came into contact with outsiders, let alone men of the same age.

She knew about the love between men and women, but she didn't care about it. No emotion could be more reliable than the sword in one's hand! She didn't think that the love between her and Gao Xian was a love between men and women. It was the mutual appreciation and similar interests between sword cultivators, the mutual trust and mutual help between partners who fought side by side, and the mentor and helpful friend on the road.

Gao Xian actually enjoyed this kind of relationship, and it was natural and there was no need to deliberately do it for any purpose. Yin Jiuli was not the type to talk about love.

As long as the two of them are together and get along well with each other, that's enough. As for double cultivation, it doesn't have to be sleeping together. If the two of them learn sword skills from each other and practice together, that's also a kind of double cultivation.

That day, Yin Jiuli led Gao Xian to a floating island, where they saw the pair of black and white sword spirits. The two fifth-level sword spirits were extremely powerful in their sword energy, their sword intent was also pure, and they even had some wisdom.

Gao Xian heard from Yin Jiuli that he came here specially to take a look. He asked Yin Jiuli to wait outside while he went in to fight with the Black and White Sword Spirit.

As soon as the two sides started fighting, Gao Xian felt something was wrong. This pair of black and white sword spirits, one yin and one yang, performed the method of the Yin-Yang Sword.

To be precise, the two sword souls were fifth-order sword cultivators' primordial spirits, their cultivation was far more powerful than that of ordinary gods, and their spiritual consciousness levels were not much worse than his.

The yin and yang of a pair of sword spirits combined into a circle, immediately trapping Gao Xian inside.

The Yin-Yang Sword was not a threat in Yin Jiuli's hands, but in the hands of two fifth-level sword spirits, its power became extremely terrifying. Especially the black and white sword spirits, which matched the yin and yang and sealed the inside and outside.

After a few moves, Gao Xian knew that he could never beat these two things, so he gave up his Tai Chi clone and rushed out of the Yin-Yang sword circle. Even so, he was still hit by the Liang Yi Yin-Yang sword intent.

The Yin-Yang sword intent was directed at the soul. The Broken Army Divine Talisman between his eyebrows and Sister Lan offset 90% of the power, but the remaining 10% of the sword intent still injured the Taiyuan Divine Image.

This battle also made Gao Xian realize the fear of the sword cultivators who had reached the divine level. Especially the two sword spirits, because they had no spiritual intelligence but their sword intent was purer, which made him suffer a great loss.

Gao Xian brought Yin Jiuli back to Broken Sword Island in a hurry. When they returned to their tent, Gao Xian's face was extremely pale. Fortunately, this ray of sword intent could not hurt him at all.

With this ray of the powerful Yin-Yang Sword, he could better comprehend the essence of this sword technique. Although he suffered a loss, it was not a big deal.

It was the first time that Yin Jiuli saw Gao Xian in such a miserable state. She also saw that Gao Xian's Nascent Soul was injured by the sword intent, and she felt even more uneasy.

"It's all my fault for bringing you there, causing you to be seriously injured..."

Gao Xian said with some amusement: "It's okay, it's just that the sword's will injured the Nascent Soul, it will be fine after recuperation for a while."

Yin Jiuli was silent and suddenly took Gao Xian's hand. She whispered, "The dual cultivation method should be able to help you eliminate the sword intent..."

"this……"

Gao Xian glanced at Yin Jiuli. Her bright eyes were gentle and bright, and there was a bit of joy and expectation in her shyness. Of course, he couldn't refuse such kindness, and he couldn't spoil the atmosphere.

He nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Jiuli..." (End of this chapter)
