Chapter 361: Vast Wave Hall
Chapter 361: Vast Wave Hall
"But it seems unnecessary... Not to mention that I'm already a direct disciple of the Yuan Shen Jian Sect, and the Array Spirit is one of us. There's no benefit in making them enemies."
"Even if I break the grand formation, it seems it would only benefit the cultivators outside, and there might even be several Incarnation Venerables rushing in to snatch the treasure opportunity from me..."
Fang Xing glanced at the remaining three cultivators.
Instead of competing with the Incarnation Late-stage cultivators outside, it was naturally simpler to compete with these three useless fellows.
"In terms of cultivation talent, I reached Nascent Soul Mid-stage before the age of 100. In terms of Sword Dao cultivation, I can cheat. In terms of combat power, I have a Second Nascent Soul, and I can even summon my original body... It seems a bit too much to bully them."
At this moment, Tai Bai Sword Immortal's divine sense transmitted a message into his ear:
"Dark Kun Fellow Daoist, the Flying Immortal Lineage has long betrayed the sect and is our common enemy. No matter what the assessment is, we must work together to push out Gong Fei Yun!"
Tai Bai Sword Immortal wasn't a fool. Although he secretly considered Fang Xing as a competitor, he still had to maintain a united front with fellow sect members against outsiders.
"Hmph!"
Gong Fei Yun's face changed upon hearing this, but he could guess their secret plan and coldly snorted in his heart.
Even if he had sought refuge in the Ethereal Immortal Palace, his lineage was still purely Sword Cultivators.
If it weren't for the Array Spirit being here, he would have drawn his sword and killed all three of them without hesitation.
Sword Cultivators always speak through their swords!
...
"Your time is running out."
The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit sighed and said, "The sect's greatest treasure is hidden within the 'Sword Realm.' The Sword Realm is a world of its own, and even I can only observe and not open it... It requires gathering five 'Mystic Iron Sword Tokens' or holding the Sect Master's Token or Supreme Elder's Token to unlock it... Or, wait for it to be broken from within."
'What does it mean to be broken from within? Could there be living beings inside the Sword Realm?'
Fang Xing slightly frowned.
The Array Spirit didn't explain further but waved his hand.
A light screen appeared, revealing a long-haired, black-robed elder with a cold expression. With a wave of his hand, thousands of bronze demon lanterns flew out, attacking a white light restriction.
Around this person were numerous Yuan Ying True Monarchs, all wearing black spirit armor, fearless and unyielding.
"Meng Tian Zun of the Limitless Hall?"
Gong Fei Yun's face changed upon seeing this person.
Meng Tian Zun seemed to sense the Array Spirit's prying and snapped his fingers.
His long, purple-painted fingernails flashed with purple light, and the light screen immediately dissipated.
"Each of you carries one Mystic Iron Sword Token, and the last one is in this person's hand..."
The Array Spirit sighed, "If I were in my prime, I could forcibly teleport the sword tokens, but now... it's impossible."
Upon hearing this, both Tai Bai Sword Immortal and Gong Fei Yun felt despair.
The last Mystic Iron Sword Token was in the hands of a Magic Dao Heavenly Venerable at the Incarnation Late-stage. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't obtain it.
"In the past... when the Ancient Demon attacked the sect, the Sect Master and the Supreme Elder both suspected the involvement of the Limitless Hall... Unfortunately, with the sect's fall and the death of all its members, there's no way to confirm this now."
The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit looked at Fang Xing's group, "Those who have received the legacy of our sword sect must make it their mission to annihilate the Limitless Hall! However, I won't ask you to make any vows, as all vows can be broken... But the Limitless Hall won't let you off, and that's enough."
The Ethereal Immortal Palace had taken in the Flying Immortal Lineage, and the Limitless Hall's subordinate forces had directly exterminated the Thunder Sword Lineage. Their attitude was clear.
These few, who had cultivated the Yuan Shen Jian Sect's techniques and condensed their Nascent Souls, could only annihilate the Limitless Hall to survive openly.
"May I ask the Array Spirit, does our sect have any 'Immortal Mansion Treasures'? If so, where are they stored?"
Gong Fei Yun stepped forward and asked directly.
Sword Cultivators are straightforward like this, without any roundabout ways.
The Immortal Mansion Treasures were his greatest goal, so he asked directly.
"Yes!"
The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit smiled, "They are within the Sword Realm..."
"As expected!"
Gong Fei Yun had suspected this before, and upon hearing this, he nodded, 'It seems... it's impossible to obtain it in advance. We can only wait for Feathers Heavenly Venerable to arrive, negotiate with Meng Tian Zun, gather the five Mystic Iron Sword Tokens to open the Sword Realm, and then it's up to our abilities.'
"May I ask the Array Spirit, where is the Spirit Void Sword Scripture?"
Fang Xing also asked, inquiring about the Essence Transformation legacy he cared most about.
Well...
With the Source Energy Cultivation System of Daxia, there might be more than one way to reach the Ten Realms.
But Fang Xing didn't want to give up on the Immortal Martial path.
Moreover, according to his speculation, the perfect 'Immortality' would be achieved when the upper, middle, and lower three Dantians' Divine Palaces break through together.
At that time, he might need the assistance of 'Immortal Martial Fusion.'
"The Spirit Void Sword Scripture is an Upper Realm legacy stored on the sixth floor of the Vast Wave Hall... If you can pass through the fifth floor and enter the sixth floor, you can comprehend it yourself."
The Array Spirit raised his hand and released a map of the Yuan Shen Jian Sect's mountain gate.
One by one, light dots lit up.
Sword Polishing Cliff, Vast Wave Hall, Scripture Pavilion, Demon Refining Hall, Sword Casting Peak, Spirit Herb Garden, Cauldron Spirit Pavilion...
"Each of these places has its own opportunities. Go and explore them yourselves... As long as you pass the trials, you can obtain treasures and cultivation techniques... Just remember, your time is limited."
The Array Spirit reminded them once again and waved his hand, teleporting everyone out of the stone hall.
The handsome middle-aged Array Spirit watched these scenes, his expression slightly dazed, "I've done my best for the sword sect disciples... Now, it depends on whether we can deal with that Ancient Demon. If not, I'll have to let those Incarnation Venerables in..."
Even if he didn't let them in, the numerous Incarnation cultivators led by two Incarnation Heavenly Venerables would forcefully break through the formations and enter.
If the Array Spirit and its opponent both suffered heavy losses, the ancient demon that broke free would ultimately benefit!
Thus, this Array Spirit had a flexible bottom line.
"As long as the most important treasure doesn't fall into the hands of the Limitless Hall, I can accept it..."
"Furthermore, I must eliminate the ancient demon and avenge the sect's great grudge."
The Array Spirit's eyes deepened.
...
A flash of silver light.
Fire Dragon True Man had already arrived before a majestic tall building.
"Is this the Scripture Pavilion of the sect?"
Fire Dragon True Man's eyes lit up.
Unexpectedly, the Array Spirit had arranged them in different areas.
Everything in this area was open for exploration.
His expression changed quickly as he saw a corpse!
The corpse wore the clothing of a Yuan Shen Jian Zong disciple and held an ancient sword, walking stiffly.
"Is this a zombie formed after a cultivator's death?"
"No... it's a Demon Corpse?!"
Fire Dragon True Man sensed a hint of demonic energy, and his face paled as the Fire Dragon Sword flew out, transforming into a burning crimson dragon!
The Demon Corpse roared, wielding its demon-infused flying sword and transforming into a beam of black light, it shot towards him.
Even faintly, it carried the sword techniques of the cultivator in front of it!
"Defeating the Demon Corpse... is this the Array Spirit's test?"
"Good, good, the Array Spirit didn't intend to kill me. This Demon Corpse should only be at the Third Stage..."
Fire Dragon True Man's heart was set.
But the next moment, the sounds of sword fighting echoed, awakening many breaths.
"A Third Stage Demon Corpse... so many?"
Fire Dragon True Man's face truly changed.
...
Spirit Herb Garden.
Taibai Sword's light flickered, slashing through a phantom shadow.
Taibai Sword Immortal slowly sheathed his sword, gazing at the numerous restrictions outside the Spirit Herb Garden, "Is breaking through so many restrictions the test?"
"The Array Spirit indeed knows the secret passed down orally in the Killing Sword Lineage..."
"The unification of the five Mystic Iron Sword Tokens within the Yuan Shen Jian Zong, their power is almost comparable to the Sect Master, even the Supreme Elder..."
"Even a single Mystic Iron Sword Token can open some secret areas... There should be a Fifth Stage 'Holy Perception Fruit' in this Spirit Herb Garden, which has been ripening for nearly ten thousand years... If I can obtain its jade fruit, it will allow a Great True Monarch's Nascent Soul to have a sudden realization, briefly entering the Primordial Soul Realm... This will allow an early comprehension of the wonders of the Primordial Soul, naturally benefiting the breakthrough to the Incarnation stage, although it's definitely not as good as the sect's secret 'Divine Transformation Elixir'..."
Yuan Shen Jian Zong's Incarnation Opportunity is not just one!
Taibai Sword Immortal immediately threw out his Mystic Iron Sword Token, and killing sword energies poured into it.
The Mystic Iron Sword Token rumbled, and beams of black light descended.
The restrictions covering the Spirit Herb Garden, though not immediately shattered by the black light, dimmed significantly.
...
"Vast Wave Hall?!"
Fang Xing looked up at the six-story building before him.
Its architectural style was simple, but its surface was covered with intricate restrictions, so complex that even an Incarnation Venerable might not be able to destroy them in a short time.
"As long as I break into the sixth floor, I can obtain the Spirit Void Sword Scripture?"
"The Array Spirit is truly considerate towards us, even specially assigning different areas, all of which contain the treasures we desire."
Of course, it was also allowed to turn around and search elsewhere.
But for Fang Xing, this place was naturally the most important.
After obtaining the Spirit Void Sword Scripture, he would go to the pill storage room to check if there were any Fifth Stage pills, and that would be enough.
He stretched out his hands and pushed open the doors of the Vast Wave Hall.
A flash of silver light, and Fang Xing entered a wooden pavilion.
In front of him was a staircase leading upwards.
"The passage to the second floor?"
"Yes, there's a Space Restriction Barrier, no flying is allowed."
Fang Xing stepped onto the wooden stairs.
The next instant, an illusion enveloped him, and within it, a young swordsman thrust his sword, his sword energy chilling, capable of withering a hundred flowers.
"The Five Levels of Sword Dao—Qi, Aura, Intent, Formation, and Penetrating All Dharmas!"
"Must one fully comprehend the condensed sword energy of one level to reach the second floor?"
Fang Xing smiled slightly, and with a slash of Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi, he broke through the illusion and ascended to the second floor.
The second floor tested the refinement of swords into aura, and naturally, there was no obstruction, allowing him to pass directly.
Then came sword intent and even sword formation...
Soon, he reached the fifth floor.
"Such strong suppression and restrictions... ordinary Nascent Soul Great True Monarchs probably can't forcefully break through."
"Only a talented Nascent Soul True Monarch who has comprehended 'One Sword Penetrating All Dharmas' can enter the sixth floor... Achieving this means becoming a core disciple of Yuan Shen Jian Zong, even a potential Sect Master in the future."
Fang Xing chuckled and stepped onto the stairs.
An illusion enveloped him.
This time, it was a Nascent Soul cultivator of the same cultivation level as him.
The cultivator had a handsome appearance, vaguely resembling the Array Spirit, and his flying sword Spirit Treasure directly attacked!
The condensed sword light, carrying the ultimate sharpness, could shatter all spells, treasures, and mystical powers!
This was the 'One Sword Penetrating All Dharmas' of sword cultivators.
An unparalleled sword technique of the Incarnation stage!
Generally speaking, only Incarnation stage sword cultivators could perform it.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator could wield One Sword Penetrating All Dharmas, they would be an Incarnation seed, a direct disciple of the sword lineage, and could obtain the Essence Transformation legacy!
Whoosh!
Undoubtedly, Fang Xing was slashed and flew, falling from the stairs!
