ah?The palace fighting system can also cultivate immortality

Chapter 216 The Truth about Xuan Dynasty
On Wujian Peak, Du Xinghe and Jianshan Master had sparred countless times.

Master Jianshan can be said to have reached the state of unity between man and sword. Her sword style is like a dragon entering the water. While her power is over a thousand pounds, she is also agile enough. She is also the first cultivator who can easily close a distance of half a meter in an instant when fighting with Du Xinghe.

Du Xinghe kept attacking, and she countered his moves.

Another dodge was avoided, Du Xinghe stopped and turned around to ask: "You usually hold back?"

"No."

"Better not."

Du Xinghe chuckled, and the iron sword flashed across the light, and in an instant it turned into countless virtual images, and there was reality in the virtuality, making it difficult to resist: "It can be said that I was unable to force out your true strength before. This time I must test your sword carefully."

"You want to try my sword? That's crazy."

The Sword Mountain Master raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know how many sword cultivators who climbed the Nine-Layer Sword Mountain and said this to me lost miserably?"

During the conversation, she swung her sword, gathered her energy and strength, and struck Xue Ming with the sword.

Master Jianshan's swordsmanship is so exquisite that it has even reached the point of returning to basics. At first glance, it may seem like a crude and unadorned move, but he is always able to swing the sword correctly at the most appropriate time.

Ask yourself, if you had challenged the Lord of the Nine-Layered Sword Mountain on the first day you climbed the Nine-Layered Sword Mountain, Du Xinghe would have definitely lost miserably.

But these three years were not wasted.

When the two swords intertwined again, no one had time to speak.

Master Jianshan looked at her intently.

I saw her pupils narrowed slightly, with a gleam of light in them, and the aura around her changed completely, with a surging sword intent -

In past battles, Du Xinghe was a swordsman who relied heavily on his emotions.

She concentrated all her attention on dealing with the enemy, which required a fierce fighting spirit so that the sword in her hand could exert 120% of its power. The closer she got to the life-and-death situation, the calmer she became.

If you lose, you die. That’s the worst that can happen.

So she was like a gambler addicted to gambling, betting all her life and property every time she went to the gambling table.

This time, she experienced the pure joy of fighting with masters among sword practitioners of the same level.

There is a distinction between high and low, and also between life and death.

All the hesitation, fear, confusion and uneasiness turned into flowing water as the sword lights crossed.

Finally, when she used her shoulder to meet the sword blade of Jianshan Master, just to hit the opponent with the most defenseless move, Jianshan Master finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Isn't this a sparring match? Are you trying to kill me?"

"Yes, a life-and-death battle."

Du Xinghe gave him an innocent look.

At the moment when the swords were facing each other, Master Jianshan was actually both angry and amused by her cuteness.

The black iron sword held by Master Jianshan was also of great origin. The sharp edge of the blade sank into the flesh and blood. When it was pulled out again, a large blood mist burst out from Du Xinghe's shoulder, and even the air was filled with a faint smell of rust.

Lord Jianshan thought she would back off.

Unexpectedly, the pain aroused Du Xinghe's pleasure, and she became even more excited.

In the Dantian, the little Nascent Soul figure Du Xinghe swung the same sword style as her, and their souls and spirits overlapped.

Three years of hard training, just for today.

In front of the tip of Jianshanzhu's sword, Du Xinghe felt that he was infinitely close to the true meaning of the sword in his hand.

When the two swords collided, it was Master Jianshan who retreated tremblingly.

She frowned.

For three years, Du Xinghe had been training with her right under her nose. She had certainly seen his progress. He was indeed a genius above her, but she thought it was a joke to think that he could defeat her with swordsmanship alone... And at this moment, she looked at Du Xinghe with a new perspective.

Du Xinghe is good at fierce and non-reassuring attack rhythms, and matching her intensity is her unusually confident posture. There is not the slightest wavering or hesitation in her every move, as if every action is saying - she who holds the sword is the strongest.

The sword is the embodiment and extension of her aura.

It was this brutality and arrogance that made Master Jianshan tremble.

The saying "the brave wins when two meet in a narrow road" is never an empty talk.

Is this really the kind of courage that a casual cultivator can possess?
How come he looks more like the arrogant and overbearing sword of someone who has been in a superior position for a long time?

The last move of "Rainbow Sword Manual" is "Phoenix Comes Here"!
The sharp blade drew a hot arc, breaking through the posture of Master Jianshan.

In a split second, Du Xinghe suddenly understood the final move that he had been practicing for a long time but never quite got the hang of.

But that's not the killer move.

From the name of the sword style, it can be seen that the creator of "The Colorful Sword Sutra" still hopes that the sword wielder can send the opponent to his death in an elegant and beautiful manner, but Du Xinghe lacks this temperament. Her straightforwardness, savagery and ferocity are sword styles that Jianshan Lord has never heard of or seen before.

If I were to give my sword moves a name, there would only be two words:

No matter what.

No matter what, even at the cost of his own life, he will kill all those who disobey him.

Sword Master? Black Emperor? She was willing to sacrifice her life and had the strength to fight.

The sparks are bright and the swords are swinging in all directions!
……

The moment Xue Ming passed through Jian Shanzhu, she thought about a lot of things.

In the past, she felt that the world had many misunderstandings about sword cultivators. Sword cultivators just wanted to practice swordsmanship behind closed doors, without any real heart and didn't understand the ways of the world. So where did so many sword enthusiasts come from? They were all people who wanted to ascend to heaven.

Now she corrected her view, because in front of her there was a person who perfectly met the stereotype of "sword cultivator" held by all major sects.

"Hahaha, I won."

Du Xinghe, who was lying on the ground, said so.

Jian Shanzhu's face flushed: "You're gambling with your life, this one doesn't count."

"Why not? Then come and gamble too. You were just afraid just now. You were afraid of my sword."

Du Xinghe couldn't hide his pride in his words.

Master Jianshan said nothing and turned his face away.

The victory or defeat that has been decided speaks louder than any eloquence, and Master Jianshan knows that he is inferior.

The battle between two masters cannot be analyzed only by paper data. Only when they come into close combat can the huge gap between them be distinguished. When Jian Shanzhu felt like fighting a coward, the bet of Gu Shen Jue judged her as the loser. A purple chain quickly wrapped around her wrist, forming an unbreakable contract. She also understood the purpose of this duel in an instant.

The power of the Gu field restored the physical condition of the two men, but it made it impossible for them to fight a second battle.

——Servants cannot challenge the authority of the Gu God.

Master Jianshan said in hatred: "You want my people, despicable."

Even more annoying was her sword Sogo.

Compared to Xue Ming, Chong Guang doesn't like to speak. He usually guards Jian Shanzhu quietly. This time, he can't bear it any longer and says angrily, "I've said this woman has bad intentions. She just covets you, and you still don't believe it!"

Master Jianshan's face turned red and white.

Du Xinghe lying on the ground: “Hehehe…”

Sword Spirit: "Your laughter is really misleading."

Du Xinghe: "It's not a misunderstanding, I really want Master Jianshan to be mine."

"what?"

The two swordsmen turned to look at her in surprise.

Du Xinghe lying on the ground felt unprecedented happiness. She closed her eyes gently, her black eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her eyelids. She was so beautiful that Master Jianshan's heart skipped a beat - what a strong cultivator! As sword cultivators, it is impossible not to envy the strong!

"I have inquired about it. Xuan Country is not your motherland. You were only recruited to the Sword Palace after you made a name for yourself in Jiuzhou, and stayed there for a long time."

Du Xinghe said.

"So what? I've been in Xuan Country for longer than I have in Jiuzhou."

Hearing her words, Master Jianshan felt vaguely uneasy.

It sounds like something big is going to happen.

"I can't betray Emperor Xuan." Lord Jianshan.

"I want to kill Emperor Xuan." Du Xinghe.

Almost at the same time, both of them said this.

They looked at each other and fell silent again.

Hearing her say that she wanted to kill Emperor Xuan, Jian Shanzhu was silent for a moment, and his expression became much more relaxed: "You can't do it. Emperor Xuan is not an existence that some cultivators can challenge. Every cultivator in Xuan Kingdom has a small part of their power attributed to him. Do you know how terrifying this power is? He is not just one person, he is the symbol of the Xuan Dynasty - how can you defeat an immortal dynasty? I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. Emperor Xuan values ​​sword cultivation geniuses the most. If you change your mind, you may be able to be reused by him."

"I know. It's not like I haven't seen him before."

"You still want to kill me even though you know about it?"

Seeing Du Xinghe nodded, Master Jianshan suddenly felt that his defeat was not so unacceptable.

After all, it is reasonable that normal people cannot beat madmen.

Du Xinghe snorted and laughed: "I can do without you as my helper, but you must at least keep your mouth shut about my affairs - since the golden dragon in this forbidden sea is most likely the dragon vein that Emperor Xuan lost, I'm sorry, it's my dragon vein now."

Master Jianshan sat cross-legged, looking at Du Xinghe who was lying beside him, watching her thin lips opening and closing, as if he was watching a madman talking in his sleep.

Master Jianshan held up his chin and asked, "What if I had won just now?"

"If I lose in the Gu Arena, the power of the Gu God will backfire on me, and I will die."

"……what?"

"The power that can take you as its own can't be without any price, right?"

Du Xinghe raised his hand, and the invisible Gu chain suddenly changed shape and solidified, turning into substance, and pulled Jianshan Master over, causing him to fall forward and crash into her side: "Anyway, I still win."

The villain succeeds.

Jian Shanzhu gritted his teeth and thought, but he couldn't hate her. He was just helpless: "I think your idea is tantamount to committing suicide, and you could have used the power of Xuan Country to move to a higher level."

She could see what a rare genius Du Xinghe was.

Therefore, it is even more regrettable for her.

"Who said I won't lend it? I will lend it! Otherwise, why would I enter the Sword Palace?"

Du Xinghe looked at her.

Master Jianshan was puzzled: "You want to kill Emperor Xuan, and you also want to use the power of Xuan Country to cultivate yourself?"

Du Xinghe nodded vigorously, as if she had asked a stupid question.

Seeing this answer, Master Jianshan was shocked by this man's shamelessness and was speechless for a long time.

"All right."

Du Xinghe stood up with a somersault, snapped his fingers, and cleared the Gu field.

The sea water enveloped the two again.

"hiss!"

The salty sea water burned her wounds that had not yet healed, as if a bowl of salt had been sprinkled on them. Du Xinghe frowned slightly in pain. Jian Shanzhu grabbed her unhappily and used a simple spell to heal her wounds. She smiled and said, "Sister is so nice. She still cares about me."

"I'm just not as mean as you."

Master Jianshan said in a cold voice, without any good look towards her.

Soon, Jian Shanzhu came to his senses: "My injuries were all healed at the moment the victory was decided. Your injuries—"

"I just want to see if my sister will feel sorry for me."

Du Xinghe readily admitted it.

"you--"

“Now I know the answer.”

Du Xinghe smiled.

Being used to seeing her murderous look, Master Jianshan was both angry and amused when he saw her lowering herself with a smile and apologizing for "using" her. He was annoyed but could not hate her.

If Du Xinghe was coveting her treasures, Master Jianshan might still hate her.

But killing Emperor Xuan is such an impossible wish. There must be a reason why Du Xinghe had to do this. Although he doesn't know the truth, the balance in Master Jianshan's heart has already tilted towards her.

In the lonely life of a swordsman in Jiuchong Sword Mountain, it is not easy to meet another sword that shares the same feelings with him.

Lord Jianshan seemed to have seen Du Xinghe's tragic ending.

Her eyes were slightly red, but she couldn't utter any words of persuasion.

Whatever, whatever.

Didn't Du Xinghe say that she would use the power of Xuan Country to improve her strength? That means that for a long time, she would not reveal her true purpose to others. I have plenty of time to persuade her, so there is no need to rush. A thousand thoughts flowed through the heart of Jianshan Lord.

"set off!"

At this moment, Du Xinghe's cheerful words brought her back to her senses.

She saw that the other sword she pitied had already rushed to the front of the huge golden dragon, thinking about how to take it for himself.

Du Xinghe first used the old secret recipe that all the seniors in Xiuxianwen knew -

He cut a wound and smeared his own blood on it, trying to recognize the master by dripping blood.

no response.

"This trick doesn't work..."

Crossing the galaxy is troublesome.

She threatened the golden dragon again, saying that if it did not recognize its master, she would tear out its tendons and skin it.

The sword spirit was speechless: "I remember you used this move in the secret realm. Not every magic weapon will be afraid of it. Looking at the size of this golden dragon, it is not afraid of you posing a threat to it at all."

Du Xinghe retorted: "Who said that? If you can't conquer me, can't you destroy me? I am also a Yuan--"

The voice suddenly stopped.

She suddenly thought of something very important.

That is, in this sea of ​​silence, her cultivation was suppressed to the Qi Refining Stage.

And with the power of this golden dragon, even a mere Qi Refining Stage cannot even scratch a layer of its skin!

Being in a sea of ​​silence is its best protection.

Du Xinghe paced back and forth in the sea water:
"No, there must be a way. Let me think about it..."

Her original idea was that if she could take it away, it would be great. If she couldn't, she wouldn't leave it to Emperor Xuan. It was the Feng Shui dragon vein, right? The bulldozer should push it here! Piling!
The imagination is full and the reality is skinny.

The majestic dragon face looked down at her, as if mocking her incompetence.

At this time, Master Jianshan suggested: "Why not look for any weak points or mechanisms on the golden dragon? I have never been to the site of dragon vein worship, but I have heard from people who have been there that Emperor Xuan will hold a very grand sacrificial ceremony, and the dragon vein will also emit divine light in response... The source of the divine light may be the mechanism of the dragon vein."

Du Xinghe looked at her in surprise: "Why are you helping me?"

"I'm not helping you."

Du Xinghe: "If your sword was as hard as your mouth, you wouldn't lose to me."

"..."

Master Jianshan turned his head away and ignored her.

Du Xinghe had to put the matter of the dragon vein aside temporarily and coaxed her again and again until her expression softened.

The sword spirit was puzzled——

Why do you still use rude words when you know you have to appease others in person if you make them angry?

As a sword, it really doesn't understand the fun of human beings.

The two of them divided the work and checked Jinlong inch by inch, but found nothing.

Master Jianshan asked her what she had found and whether she had made any surprising discoveries.

Du Xinghe was thoughtful:
"This golden dragon even has a dragon whip carved out of it. It's very realistic and ingenious!"

Lord Jianshan: "..."

Master Jianshan turned his head and looked at Xueming who was floating beside him: "I lost to a sword cultivator like this? A person like this? Ah? Your sword recognizes its master but can't recognize a good one?"

"Listen to my quibbling. My master is still very handsome when he doesn't speak."

The sword spirit defended himself breathlessly.

Du Xinghe had already swam to the top of the dragon's head and saw that its slightly open mouth was empty.

"Such a big dragon, but it doesn't even have a pearl in its mouth?"

As she was thinking about it, she actually went straight in.

The space inside is very large, and even the animal fangs are made of gold, emitting a cold and sparkling golden light in the sea water.

Looking from the inside out, you can overlook the entire city.

“Is this the dragon’s perspective?”

Thinking across the galaxy.

The dragon is closely tied to royal authority and is a symbol of royal power.

She is not the emperor, so it is understandable that the dragon veins have no reaction to her.

"Can you crawl in?"

Du Xinghe turned over and found that the throat was not a dead end but pitch black, so he tried to get into the golden dragon's stomach.

There was still icy-cold sea water inside. After a rolling and falling feeling, she came to a cold and stuffy space with a thud - the sea water could not enter here.

There is a hidden world inside the golden dragon's belly?

Du Xinghe sent a secret message to tell Master Jianshan not to worry, that she only came to explore the interior of the dragon vein.

Master Jianshan: [Would you like me to come in and help? ]

Du Xinghe: [You stay outside and keep watch for me.]

Under the influence of "Gu Shen Jue", Lord Jianshan would subconsciously follow her words and think it was his own will.

She rubbed her two fingers together, and a cluster of strange light appeared in the blink of an eye, illuminating the surroundings.

The surroundings were not the treasure house that Du Xinghe had imagined. There were no rare treasures, let alone spiritual stones.

What you see is an endless number of cabinets.

They are all drawer-type cabinets.

There were words written on every drawer, as if they were people's names.

The name closest to the entrance attracted Du Xinghe's attention.

"Du Chiguang... Oh, we are from the same family."

Du Xinghe gently opened the drawer, prepared to see a corpse or ashes inside, but found that it was empty.

It turned out to be an empty drawer.

The drawer itself was shaped like a brocade box, with a slightly concave square in the middle, which could hold a piece of jewelry or a small pot of elixir. However, judging from the shape, Du Xinghe felt that it was more like a place for jewelry.

For some unknown reason, Du Xinghe thought of the jade pendant he saw in the dream when he was tested by the witch.

The jade pendant that was taken away from her at some unknown time and the memories that were lost in her life were all firmly tied to that jade pendant.

Du Xinghe took a deep breath and opened the drawer with other people's names on it.

This time, there were no empty drawers anymore.

In each brocade box in the drawer, there was a personal item, including earrings, a brush, a belt, and even a jade dildo... Du Xinghe looked at the jade dildo with respect, closed the brocade box, and turned to study the other items.

She took out one of the pairs of earrings and made an extremely risky move.

Du Xinghe put these strange earrings that exuded mysterious power on his ears.

In an instant, the surrounding scene disappeared as if it was torn apart.

She felt more powerful than ever before, with abundant spiritual energy flowing through her body. She was no longer suppressed in the Qi Refining Stage!
However, before she had time to be ecstatic, Du Xinghe discovered that not only was she not in the Qi Refining Stage, she was not even just in the Nascent Soul Stage, she had become an even more powerful being!
At the same time, she is not crossing the galaxy.

She is the name carved on the drawer--

Sword fairy Xu Si Niang.

How long ago did this happen? This part was not recorded in her memory. Du Xinghe only knew that Xu Siniang was a sword cultivator far superior to herself and Jianshan Lord. She was really famous in Pingyun Continent. Emperor Xuan treated her with great courtesy. The Emperor Xuan in her memory was not as huge as Du Xinghe had seen him. He was just like a normal, tall and handsome gentleman who discussed swordsmanship with her.

When Xu Si Niang mentioned that she had another epiphany recently, Emperor Xuan showed a sincere expression of envy, without putting on airs, and said to her: "I have been practicing for a long time without any progress. The Imperial Master said that I should not be lazy, but I really haven't... I really envy you, Si Niang. When you ascend to heaven one day, you must let me protect you."

Even someone as strong as Xu Si Niang couldn't help but feel flattered.

Emperor Xuan's words represent the power of the entire country, protecting her. How could she not be happy?

After all, no cultivator dares to say that he can withstand the thunder tribulation on his own.

The sword fairy Xu Si Niang often visited the palace. She knew that Emperor Xuan was troubled by the obstruction in his cultivation, so she told him everything she knew about cultivation and wished she could teach him step by step.

But along with this teaching, Xu Si Niang also discovered one thing.

Looking from the perspective of the Sword Immortal, Du Xinghe no longer had the trembling and fear that he had felt before, and he discovered the same thing -

"The Xuan Emperor's understanding is mediocre, huh?"

The same words were said by Xu Si Niang once, and Du Xinghe understood them.

Emperor Xuan listened very carefully, but still couldn't get the point.

Of course, looking at the entire Pingyun Continent, even the three major sects, the Nine Yang Sect, etc., there is no one who can improve faster than the Xuan Emperor realm and has better qualifications than him. But this is based on the fact that he is supported by the whole country, and thousands of years of immortal cultivation resources have been accumulated in him. Even a pig can be trained to be a fighting pig, let alone a normal person.

But compared with the resources invested in Emperor Xuan, the improvement he received is really not enough.

It's very intimidating when taken alone.

In front of a true genius and a true immortal cultivator, Emperor Xuan’s shortcomings can be seen.

The Emperor Xuan at this time was not the same person as the one Du Xinghe saw.

He lacked the self-confidence that only he could be. Beneath his noble and elegant demeanor, there was even a hint of timidity and anxiety, and when he looked at the Sword Immortal, his eyes were full of envy.

"I really want to call Master Jianshan over to watch together. After seeing this Xuan Emperor, do you still think that I can never beat him in my life?"

Du Xinghe muttered as he continued reading Xu Si Niang's memories.

Xu Si Niang's memory is not coherent. She will only retain that part of her memory when her emotions fluctuate strongly. The stronger the fluctuation, the brighter the colors of the memory picture.

Du Xinghe could feel Xu Si Niang's faint pity and contempt for Emperor Xuan.

She felt sympathy for him, yet inevitably looked down on him.

How many hardships did he go through to become the best swordsman in the world today? This Xuan Emperor, who was made of mountains of gold and silver, was worthy of competing with him? The more she taught him, the more Xu Si Niang doubted him, but she didn't show it on her face.

The next memory is——

Xu Siniang was locked in the formation by four huge soul-piercing nails, staring fiercely at a dark figure.

"I taught you everything I knew, but you took away my skills and killed my entire family. You will not die a good death!"

There was a big hole in her throat, and she could roar without relying on her vocal cords, all relying on her remaining spiritual power.

Others wanted to step forward and cover her mouth, but they were afraid of her reputation as a sword master.

She let him curse for a full quarter of an hour before the Imperial Master hurriedly used the golden seal to seal her so that she could no longer make any sound.

Only then did Emperor Xuan stop in front of Xu Si Niang.

On the pale and delicate face, the narrow eyes flashed with crazy and fragmented light:

"Teach me everything you know?"

"To truly teach someone everything you know, shouldn't you give me all your cultivation? You once said that it was a pity that my comprehension was not good enough, otherwise I would have achieved a higher level of attainment. Don't worry, I will soon be able to reach your level."

"Whether you are willing or not, it doesn't matter."

"As for my unfortunate death..."

Emperor Xuan tilted his head, a faint smile escaped from his lips: "I will live forever and never die!"

In the memory scene, Emperor Xuan's appearance was so colorful that it looked like it was carved by a sword.

Before Xu Si Niang's death, he was the person who experienced the most profound emotional fluctuations.

I remember his frivolous laughter, which seemed to have finally removed the huge rock that had been piling up on his heart, and the sky finally cleared up after the clouds and mist had dispersed.

The person he envied, admired, and even developed hatred and greed for finally died in his hands, and even his cultivation realm was taken away by him. Although after refining, not all of it could be obtained by him, it was still a tonic, a great tonic!
In a trance, the figure of Emperor Xuan faded out of Du Xinghe's eyes.

She was back in the dark room full of drawers.

“How many drawers are there?”

Looking across the galaxy, there are countless stars.

She remembered what she had heard from her senior brother before -

Looking at all the sects in Pingyun Continent, Xuan Kingdom’s ability to cultivate talents is also top-notch.

But to this day, no one has heard of a cultivator from Xuan Kingdom ascending to heaven.

The senior brother paused and added, "Many cultivators who are close to ascending to heaven have thoughts that are beyond our imagination. They no longer have the need to boast about their cultivation in front of others. Perhaps fading from the public's view means they have reached a higher realm."
