Taiqing Sword Pond is an independent cave with a sword pond inside. It is the holy place for successive sword practitioners of the Xuanming Sect to hone their sword skills.
The direct descendants of the Xuanming Sect who practice swordsmanship can come to the Taiqing Sword Pool to practice swordsmanship when they reach the Jindan level.
Gao Xian, an outsider, had already reached the Nascent Soul stage when he entered Xuanming Sect. It was naturally not his turn to go to such a good place as Taiqing Sword Pool.
When the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly came, Taoist Master Xuanyang felt that Gao Xian should focus on the Five Qi Wheels and had not considered letting him practice in the Taiqing Sword Pool.
At this moment, Gao Xian wanted to condense the sword god, so the Taiqing Sword Pool was naturally the most suitable place.
The Sword Pond is a thousand miles in radius, and its water is as clear as jade. Looking down from the sky, the Sword Pond is as smooth and clear as a huge jade mirror.
No matter how turbulent the situation is in the sword pool, the water in the sword pool is as heavy as mercury, with hardly any ripples.
Taichu practiced sword skills every day beside the sword pool. Through the reflection of the huge sword pool, she could see the shortcomings in her sword skills.
Such subtle changes are the most wonderful aspect of the Taiqing Sword Pool.
The sun was hanging high in the sky, the time of the day when the Yang energy was at its peak. Taichu usually did not practice swordplay at midnight or noon, as this would cause the Yin and Yang energy to transform, and the energy of heaven and earth would be chaotic, which did not match her swordplay.
She usually likes to use the Xiyi Sword at this time to observe the changes of yin and yang in heaven and earth and comprehend the wonders of it.
Today, Taichu observed the world with his sword, but found that the atmosphere of heaven and earth was a little restless, as if something was brewing above the nine heavens.
Taichu looked up with some doubt. Although the Taiqing Sword Pond was an independent cave, it was connected to the nine heavens above and the earth abyss. It was because it was closely connected to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that normal cultivation would not be affected in the Taiqing Sword Pond.
Suddenly, a majestic and deep voice came from the sky: "All disciples are not allowed to leave the area. Those who violate the rules will be killed."
The grand voice spread throughout the Taiqing Sword Pool.
Along the perimeter of the Taiqing Sword Pond, dozens of true sword practitioners of the Xuanming Sect were practicing diligently.
The direct descendants of the Xuanming Sect can enter the Taiqing Sword Pool through various means such as exchanging good deeds. Generally speaking, they will stay in the sword pool for more than several months.
Using the sword pool to illuminate one's own sword heart, check for omissions, and purify sword intent has countless benefits.
The Taiqing Sword Pool was divided into nearly a hundred areas, where many sword cultivators practiced sword skills on their own without interfering with each other. Some of these sword cultivators knew each other, and would gather together to discuss sword skills when they had nothing to do.
The sudden loud sound reached the depths of everyone's sea of consciousness. No matter what the sword cultivators were doing, they could hear the sound.
On one side of the Taiqing Sword Pond, Taiyuan was giving a lecture to several Jindan sword practitioners under a willow tree.
Taiyuan was a proud and conceited person. After being defeated by Gaoxian, he practiced hard to avenge his defeat. As a result, Gaoxian won the first place in the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly and became famous in Jiuzhou.
The Xuanming Sect regarded Gao Xian as a peerless genius and praised him by everyone.
This made Tai Yuan extremely unhappy. He felt that this group of cultivators were too snobbish. When they saw Gao Xian became famous, they started to flatter him crazily, completely forgetting that Gao Xian was an outsider!
Gao Xian's reputation was too great, and although Tai Yuan was not convinced, he did not dare to speak ill of Gao Xian in public.
Taiyuan held his breath and practiced sword skills diligently every day. After two hundred years, his sword skills improved greatly and he had reached the tenth level of Nascent Soul.
In order to prove his sword god status, he applied to enter the Taiqing Sword Pool to purify his sword intent. He has been here for more than ten years.
There is no quick way to master swordsmanship. Although Tai Yuan was eager to prove his spiritual power to be superior to Gao Xian, he did not dare to rush into anything.
Under the reflection of the Taiqing Sword Pool, Tai Yuan also discovered many of his own shortcomings. It seemed that it would take at least several hundred years to perfect his swordsmanship.
Realizing this, Tai Yuan was no longer so anxious. In his spare time, he also met many juniors who practiced swordsmanship. These juniors were very polite. When Tai Yuan had nothing to do, he would get together with them to discuss swordsmanship and Taoism. He lived a very happy life.
The sudden loud voice startled Tai Yuan. A junior of a lower rank might not know who the voice belonged to, but he could tell it was Daoist Xuan Yang speaking.
I wonder what big thing has happened that could make the Taoist Master speak personally.
Seeing that the Jindan sword cultivators were somewhat suspicious and uneasy, Tai Yuan said, "Everyone, please be calm. It is the Dao Master who is speaking. We just need to obey his orders."
Many Jindans breathed a sigh of relief. A Jindan sword cultivator asked curiously, "What happened that could make the Taoist Master speak in person?"
Tai Yuan also felt the fiery and violent spiritual energy in the sky at this moment. He said solemnly, "Someone is going to overcome the heavenly tribulation and become a sword god!"
"Is this true?!"
"Ah, is there a senior who has transcended the tribulation and attained enlightenment?!"
Many Jindan sword cultivators were surprised and delighted. With their cultivation status, it was difficult for them to see a Dao Lord of Transformation. Not to mention how important it was for a sword lord to transcend the tribulation and attain the Dao, and they were actually qualified to watch.
When they thought of this, everyone became very excited.
Their cultivation was too low, so it was difficult for them to learn anything from the heavenly tribulation. But seeing a sword master transcend the tribulation and attain enlightenment was enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives! The fire tribulation in the sky turned the world red, and the fire clouds were as heavy as the sea, completely covering the sky. Although the Jindan sword cultivators opened their eyes wide and even used some secret techniques to peek, they still could not see anything.
The power of the Heavenly Fire was so fierce that even the Nascent Soul True Lord could not withstand it, let alone these Golden Core cultivators. Their consciousness was burned to ashes by the Heavenly Fire before they could even get close.
At this moment, even Tai Yuan did not dare to use his spiritual sense to spy on the Heavenly Fire, and could only observe it with his eyes. He was also a little confused at this moment, who wanted to prove the Dao of Sword God? Could it be Taichu? There were many Yuanying in Xuanming Sect, but not many sword cultivators. Even fewer people really had the opportunity to prove the Dao of Sword God.
Tai Yuan looked towards the other side of the Taiqing Sword Pool. Due to the distance of a hundred miles, he could not sense Taichu's breath, but he could faintly see that slender black figure.
"Who else could it be if not Taichu?" Taiyuan confirmed that Taichu was still there, and he was even more surprised.
The clouds of fire gathered in the sky suddenly exploded into a ball of blazing flames, and it was as if an unusual rain of fire was falling from the sky. Billions of blazing spiritual lights disappeared in the air.
Even so, the sudden outburst of the violent spiritual energy of the heavenly fire still caused many Jindan sword cultivators to have difficulty breathing and their magic power to stagnate. At that moment, they felt as if they were burned to ashes by the rain of fire.
In fact, the heavenly fire is tens of thousands of miles away from below, and its power will not flow to the ground.
Tai Yuan saw many Jindans had grim expressions, so he warned them, “The power of the Heavenly Fire can kill the soul, so if you can’t hold on, don’t watch it.
"It's so far away, I can't see anything..."
Taiyuan was also a little puzzled. The heavenly fire was already so intense and powerful, so why couldn't he see the sword energy of the person who was undergoing the tribulation?
If the Sword Master wants to overcome the tribulation and prove his Dao, he must use Heavenly Fire to refine his Nascent Soul and remove the Yin Qi, so that it can be transformed into the Primordial Spirit. However, this tempering requires a certain degree of heat, and it is absolutely impossible to use the Nascent Soul to face the Heavenly Fire directly.
It is necessary to use the sword qi to weaken the heavenly fire, and then slowly refine the Nascent Soul. In simple terms, this is like the process of drying wet clothes. The fire must not be too big, and the opportunity of the heavenly fire must not be wasted. The fire must be controlled with great precision.
As long as the opponent activates the sword energy to resist the heavenly fire, all kinds of strange phenomena will appear. This cannot be concealed at all, and there is no need to conceal it.
Taiyuan was a direct descendant and had a wealth of theoretical knowledge on how to transcend tribulation and refine the spirit. He was very confused at this moment, as what he had learned from this person, Dujie, did not match up!
Taichu, who was on the other side of the sword pond, now understood, "It's Senior Brother Gao who is going through the tribulation! Only his swordsmanship can be so pure, without leaking any sword energy at all."
Taichu knew that Gao Xian's swordsmanship was superb, and she guessed that he had condensed into the second sword infant. However, she was still a little surprised that Gao Xian had achieved the status of Sword God so quickly.
Taichu's eyes were clear and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was concentrating on learning sword, and she had some sword skills left over from her previous life. In addition, the Xiyi Sword in her hand was her natal magic sword.
She concentrated on practicing sword skills for another seven hundred years, but there were still many shortcomings, and she was still a long way from becoming a sword god.
However, Gao Xian had never practiced sword skills seriously. She had almost never seen Gao Xian practice sword skills, and she had never made any special preparations for practicing sword skills.
This senior brother was uninhibited and unrestrained, which was very different from the pure and focused approach of sword cultivators. But somehow, Gao Xian's swordsmanship was far better than hers, even better than any Yuanying sword cultivator in Jiuzhou.
Such a huge gap made Taichu feel quite complicated.
The fire from the sky raged until night, illuminating the night sky as red as blood, and the sky and the earth were covered with a thick layer of blood.
Such a strange sight also shocked many Jindan sword cultivators.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Since noon, this person has been transcending the tribulation for nearly six hours. Surprisingly, he has not yet shown any changes in his sword energy. It is obvious that he can still control it calmly, so he will not let the sword energy overflow.
Tai Yuan was not in the mood to talk, he knew how difficult it was. Moreover, this time the other party's tribulation time was obviously much longer.
Heavenly tribulations are the result of communication between heaven and man, with the auras of both sides sensing each other. The fact that the heavenly tribulation can last for such a long time is also intentional on the part of the cultivator who is trying to overcome the tribulation.
At this point, although Taiyuan did not see the appearance of the person who was undergoing the tribulation inside, he had already guessed the other person's identity: Gao Xian.
In the Xuanming Sect, only the great sage known as the No. 1 Yuanying Zhenjun in Jiuzhou has such ability.
After midnight, the fire of the heavenly tribulation turned blue. At this point, the heavenly tribulation entered its second stage.
In the green fire, Gao Xian also felt a bit of pressure.
The first fire disaster in front of him could be easily resolved with the Five Elements Wuji Sword in his hand. He had already comprehended some of the Tai Chi sword meaning, and with one sword, Tai Chi was transformed into a world of its own, and the sword energy was perfect and not leaked at all.
Such exquisite control of sword energy allowed him to calmly guide the heavenly fire to refine the Taiyuan Shenxiang. The Yuanling Ditai Stone was also integrated into the Taiyuan Shenxiang during this process, becoming the core of the Taiyuan Shenxiang.
When the second layer of blue sky fire rose, the Taiyuan God's image was stained by the blue fire, and it was green inside and out. The Yuanling Earth Embryo Stone quickly melted in the blue sky fire, and the Taiyuan God's image merged into one.
The Yuanling Earth Tail Stone is originally used to store the differentiated parts of the soul. A part of the soul will be integrated into the Taiyuan Divine Image along with the Yuanling Earth Tail Stone.
The most crucial thing is to have the Yuanshi Xuan Sanqi talisman. When the third heavenly tribulation comes, introducing a talisman can stabilize the third soul and allow it to take shape completely.
When all three souls are refined, through the combination of the Yuanshi Xuan Sanqi magic talisman, the three souls can be combined into a whole, turning into a complete and extremely powerful soul.
Gao Xian was able to face the second level of heavenly fire calmly thanks to his peerless swordsmanship.
Another six hours passed like this, until noon of the next day, when the Yang energy was at its strongest and transformed into the third level of white sky fire.
At this point, Gao Xian really felt the tremendous pressure.
The Taiyuan Yuanshen, which was tempered in the Heavenly Fire, had already shown signs of melting. Normally, he should have used the Karma Fire Red Lotus to survive the tribulation, but he felt that he could still hold on.
Using the Karma Fire Red Lotus can weaken the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but it will also reduce the Heavenly Tribulation's tempering of the Primordial Spirit. There is pure Yang light in his soul, so it should be no problem for him to survive the Thunder Tribulation, and he will not be reduced to ashes by the Heavenly Fire.
Besides, with his cultivation level reaching this point, he would have enough time to save himself if there was any danger.
In the blazing fire ritual, Gao Xian felt like he was going to melt, but he calmly controlled his sword to resist the fire. On the other hand, the essence of the three sword techniques kept flowing in his mind, and he sensed the inspiration for a breakthrough in sword techniques.
The two poles of yin and yang, the two poles of yin and yang, originally one outside and one inside combined to form Tai Chi, the Wuji Tianxiang Sword Sutra, all the changes in the celestial phenomena are nothing more than the embodiment of the evolution of yin and yang within Tai Chi...
With this realization, the three sword intentions were shattered and then merged again in an instant.
The Five Elements Wuji Sword in Gao Xian's hand vibrated and hummed, resonating synchronously with his Taiyuan soul. The soul, sword intent, and sword seemed to merge into one in an instant.
The heaven and earth, the heavenly fire, and all things disappeared. Gao Xian felt that he was the only one before the creation of the world.
In this mysterious state, the Taiyuan Spirit was transformed into a pure white and flawless Spirit...
The many cultivators who had been watching the heavenly tribulation beside the Taiqing Sword Pool had been watching for more than a day. Seeing that the third level of white sky fire had lasted for nearly two hours, many sword cultivators could not help but start discussing it.
"According to records, the calamity of heavenly fire usually lasts for ten hours. This person's calamity has lasted for fourteen hours, and the third level of heavenly fire has only lasted for two hours. It's really terrifying!"
"I wonder which senior is so powerful?!"
Tai Yuan felt a little annoyed after hearing this, and was about to ask everyone to shut up when he suddenly felt something and looked over.
Suddenly, a long and clear sword sound descended from the pure white sky. A bright sword light burst out along with the sword chant, and a deep and straight crack appeared in the pure white sky...
Following a loud bang between heaven and earth, the sky fire that burned the sky like white porcelain suddenly scattered, revealing the scorching sun above the nine heavens, the blue sky, and the white-clothed figure standing with a sword in hand and riding the wind.
This time all the cultivators saw clearly that the man holding the sword was dressed in white clothes as white as snow and as elegant as clouds. He was none other than Gao Xian, the number one Yuanying True Lord in Jiuzhou!
Gao Xian also saw the many cultivators below, and saw Taichu and Taiyuan, but he did not intend to greet them. At this moment, the sword intent in his heart was running wild, and he couldn't help but speak it out.
He chanted aloud: "A hundred calamities have refined my body and soul, and when the yin and yang are born, I realize the mystery of the Tao. I sit and watch the world with a carefree mind, and use the sun and the moon as swords to cut through the passing years."
Gao Xian said to himself, "It seems like there is less murderous intent."
He thought for a moment and chanted, "I am a sword immortal in the mortal world. I use the sun and the moon as swords to cut through the world!"
The poem echoed in all directions between heaven and earth, and the sword intent contained in it was clear, pure, lofty and ethereal, and it flowed into the ears of many sword cultivators along with the poem...
Taichu stared blankly at the figure in white riding a sword in the sky. She felt sad for some reason...
Taiyuan clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, his face was extremely cold. But he knew that Gao Xian's poems had left an indelible mark in his heart...
Many Jindan sword cultivators didn't think so much. They all looked at Gao Xian with admiration and envy in their eyes. From then on, there was only one image of the sword immortal in their hearts, that is, Gao Xian wearing white clothes and riding a sword! (This chapter is over)
