Chapter 62: Prepare to Breakthrough, Zhu Xian Sword Formation
"What are you afraid of? You are not the only one in the world named Gu An. I am not like you who can make up characters at will. I need to recognize someone before I can write a story. In my eyes, you are the most suitable male protagonist. According to my understanding, your only shortcoming is your low cultivation level."
Shen Zhen said this seriously, and Gu An's face twitched.
Is this a compliment? Why does it sound like a personal attack?
If I show my skills, even your father may not be able to match me! Gu An continued to persuade him, but Shen Zhen refused to change his name.
Finally, Shen Zhen proposed to exchange his name for a secret book, and he had no choice but to agree.
After Shen Zhen left, Gu An stayed in the attic, reading the secret book she had given him.
Xuanyin Jue!
This is a music spell that can damage people's internal organs and confuse the enemy's senses. It is very comprehensive.
Gu An just happens to be lacking this kind of magic, so he can study it further in the future.
After reading the Xuan Yin Jue once, he threw it into the storage bag, then got up and left.
…
A month later, Gu An came to the outer gate city. He first went to the Alchemy Hall to submit this year's harvest.
Elder Zhu Qinglu met him. He noticed that Zhu Qinglu looked tired and there was a trace of demonic energy surging in his body, just like Lu Jiujia.
"Elder Zhu, you don't look well. What's wrong?" Gu An asked.
He didn't know how the outer sect's magic skills were practiced. Some people were missing, but this time when he came to the outer sect city, he found that many disciples had a trace of hidden demonic energy in their bodies. These disciples were almost all disciples from various halls, not ordinary disciples.
It was hard for him to judge whether he was in cahoots with the gang or was being plotted against, and Shen Zhen did not say much.
Zhu Qinglu smiled and said, "It's fine if you practice martial arts. Don't you own a medicine valley in the inner gate? Move there quickly and don't stay in the outer gate. The demon cultivators are rampant recently and it's too dangerous outside."
Gu An asked tentatively: "Many people told me that the outer sect is very dangerous now. If it is so dangerous, why don't the higher-ups send more people to fight the demons?"
"Also, what area of the city is being built? It's almost taking up a quarter of the city."
As soon as he arrived at the outer city, he saw many disciples laying stones in the center of the city. Those stones were not ordinary stones and they all contained spiritual energy.
No matter how he looked at it, it felt like he was setting up a huge altar.
Zhu Qinglu said nonchalantly: "The higher-ups naturally have their own considerations, which we cannot guess. All we can do is to protect ourselves as much as possible. As for what is being built in the city, it is a formation platform that will protect the outer gate in the future."
Looking at his appearance, Gu An felt that he was not a good person. He was afraid that he knew the inside story and benefited from it.
Gu An didn't ask any more questions. After a few polite words, he left.
After walking out of the Alchemy Hall, Gu An stood on the street and looked at the formation platform under construction from afar.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the once prosperous and sunny Outer Gate City looked so gloomy, like a place of evil.
Gu An stopped where he was and looked for a long time before turning around and leaving.
The autumn wind swept through the streets, blowing his clothes. The Qinghong sword at his waist swayed slightly, and the scabbard flashed with a cold light.
After leaving the outer city, Gu An went to take care of those caves.
When he arrived at Li Xuanyu's cave, he found her inside.
"From now on, you don't have to come. I have to go to the inner gate. These are your rewards." Li Xuanyu said as he sat at the table. With a wave of his right hand, pieces of spirit stones piled up on the table.
Gu An immediately saluted and then went to put the spirit stone into his storage bag.
He didn't say anything more and turned and left.
Li Xuanyu looked at his back and asked coldly, "I heard that your leg skills are very powerful?"
Gu An stopped, turned around and looked at her, and said, "Brother Li Ya said that, my leg skills can't compare to his."
Some time ago, Li Ya stayed in Xuan Valley and saw Tang Yu practicing Canfeng Leg. Then he learned about how Gu An subdued Meng Lang with Canfeng Leg.
I didn't expect him to tell Li Xuanyu so soon...
"Well, I'm just asking casually."
Li Xuanyu said calmly. She paused and said, "I look forward to the day when you enter the inner gate. Then we can compete with each other again."
Gu An was confused and said helplessly: "How can I compete with you, Senior Sister? I can't possibly catch up with you."
"Go back."
Li Xuanyu did not respond to him, but ordered him to leave.
Gu An had no choice but to leave.
After leaving her cave, Gu An did not feel too much psychological burden.
As long as he refuses to admit it, what can Li Xuanyu do to him?
…
Late at night, Gu An was walking in the mountains and forests. In the afternoon, he had told Wu Xin that he had to go out and would not be back until tomorrow.
The reason why he said it in advance was because he was preparing for a breakthrough.
Once there is a breakthrough, there will be a lot of noise. If the disciples go looking for him and find that he is not in the room, they will easily become suspicious.
Ever since he went to the outer city, Gu An has felt a strong atmosphere of danger.
Those in power practiced magic, and the children of nobles fled from the outer sect. These signs made him worried.
Although the ninth level of the Void Realm is powerful, the Taixuan Sect is also not without people who have reached the Void Realm. So after struggling for several days, Gu An decided to break through a higher realm first.
At worst, the unlocking of the million-year lifespan feature will be delayed by one year!
This time, he took a long detour, traveling three hundred miles at night, and stopped in a dense forest. The reason he stopped was because he sensed the auras of two Nascent Souls, one of whom he had sensed before.
Zuo Yijian! Canghu sword fanatic, who was originally learning sword near Xuangu, was injured by Gu An in the identity of Feiye Sword Immortal. After that, Gu An only saw him in the Ji family mansion.
Gu An has suppressed his aura to the lowest level and is not afraid of being discovered by the Nascent Soul Realm.
Several miles away, above the mountains and forests, Zuo Yijian, dressed in blue, stood in the air with five swords floating beside him, surrounding his body, showing the demeanor of a sword cultivator.
The man confronting him was a sturdy man in a loose black robe. He was holding a long staff, had thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, and a square and majestic face. His black robe fluttered violently, and his overwhelming and domineering aura caused the woods below to fall to the side.
"Zuo Yijian, why don't you stay in the inner gate and read instead of coming here to stop me?" the black-robed man asked coldly.
Zuo Yijian said expressionlessly, "Chen Xuanjin, as the great elder of the outer sect, you practiced magic and harmed your fellow disciples. I am not trying to stop you, but you are committing many injustices. I am here to take you away on behalf of the heavens."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuanjin couldn't help but laugh, and his laugh was full of contempt.
"Don't you know who I'm working for?" Chen Xuanjin snorted coldly, and then he swung the long staff in his hand. Circles of purple light burst out from the bottom of the staff, condensing into purple runes, forming a complex and mysterious formation with a diameter of more than a hundred feet.
When the edge of the formation was about to touch Zuo Yijian, it was blocked by the invisible sword intent. Looking from the sky, the edge of the purple light formation seemed to be missing a piece.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"Of course I know that I can't deal with him, but I can deal with you and kill you. Even if the next Outer Sect Great Elder still does evil things, at least during this period of time, I can protect the Outer Sect disciples."
Zuo Yijian said expressionlessly as the five swords around him were unsheathed at the same time, with sword lights shining in the night sky.
"You want to kill me?"
Chen Xuanjin seemed to have heard a huge joke. His face became ferocious and his aura suddenly exploded. A strong wind blew up and the trees within a ten-mile radius shook violently.
Zuo Yijian's expression changed slightly and his eyes narrowed.
"You, who are at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm, can you kill me, who is at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm? Zuo Yijian, do you think that I won't dare to kill you just because you have your master as your backer?"
"Since you have chosen the path of power and are not in harmony with the world, you have made a mistake. Saving a few outer disciples with mediocre qualifications is more important than saving the entire Taicang Dynasty. If you don't understand, then you have lived in vain!"
Chen Xuanjin stood proudly, his domineering aura squeezing Zuo Yijian's sword shadow, causing his five swords to tremble.
"I'll give you one last chance. It's not too late to turn back now. Either go back and read your Investiture of the Gods, or die." Demonic energy surged out of the long staff in Chen Xuanjin's hand, and it condensed into a huge black dragon that coiled around him.
Zuo Yijian took a deep breath and said, "Since you mentioned The Investiture of the Gods, do you know about the Immortal Execution Sword Formation?"
Zhu Xian Sword Formation!
Chen Xuanjin's face changed drastically, and there was a look of astonishment in his eyes.
Gu An, who was secretly watching from a distance, was also surprised.
"The power of the Three Pure Ones is even more extraordinary, and the magic in the pot penetrates Mount Sumeru..."
As Zuo Yijian was muttering, the swords around him trembled violently and quickly dispersed, forming a formation with murderous aura rising into the sky.
Gu An, who was standing under the tree, was stunned.
He can understand the Tao by reading books? Is he a genius?
Chen Xuanjin was also frightened and immediately cast a spell to attack.
The war is about to begin! The sky is shaking, the earth is trembling, and the mountains and forests are collapsing.
Gu An stood under the tree, motionless, his eyes flashing with sword light, staring at Zuo Yijian's figure.
After ten breaths.
The battle is over.
Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.
I was so scared! Gu An really thought that Zuo Yijian had figured out the Zhuxian Sword Formation from the Investiture of the Gods.
If this is the case, doesn’t it mean that The Investiture of the Gods is true? That would be outrageous!
Zuo Yijian used a sword technique he created himself, which was indeed powerful. He was able to compete with a great cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but he did not last long.
The remaining clouds in the night sky dispersed, the mountains and forests turned into wasteland, and dust flew up.
Chen Xuanjin was suspended in the air, gasping for breath, his face full of lingering fear, his eyes looking down at the rolling dust below.
He could feel that Zuo Yijian was not dead yet. He frowned, feeling very conflicted.
Although he really wanted to kill Zuo Yijian, his reason told him that killing Zuo Yijian might cause trouble.
Although he is in the Nascent Soul stage, he is still a chess piece in the Taixuan Sect.
At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, startling Chen Xuanjin so much that he glanced over and his pupils suddenly dilated.
A ray of cold light rushed from the horizon, sweeping away the dust and rolling up countless leaves along the way, like a cold sword cutting through time.
Zuo Yijian, who was lying in the ruins, felt something and opened his eyes subconsciously. The dust above him was suddenly blown away, and the night sky was reflected in his pupils. There was a ray of light in the darkness, so dazzling.
“It’s him…”
Zuo Yijian widened his eyes and watched as the leaf surrounded by sword energy pierced through Chen Xuanjin's chest, and blood spilled all over the night sky.
At this moment, Zuo Yijian finally understood.
Feiye Jianxian didn't mean to hurt him maliciously, but was giving him advice, otherwise how could he survive? Now Feiye Jianxian rescued him, which made him surprised and ashamed.
Who is this senior?
