Chimo Sect

Spitting out sword energy?

Isn't that the level I reached after forty years of cultivation?

Hearing Gu Li's words, Fang Wang became certain that his mastery of the Divine Nourishing Sword Qi had surpassed that of everyone in the Gu family—yes, everyone still alive. 🎈🐠 ❻9hᵘЖ.ᶜᑜｍ ☯🍫

"I see, no wonder it's so difficult to practice," Fang Wang said, feigning agreement.

Worried that she might discourage Fang Wang, Gu Li comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. You're so talented that you've even mastered sword control to an unbelievable degree. Given time, your Divine Sword Qi will surely reach unparalleled heights, far surpassing even my grandfather's abilities."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Miss Gu. I will practice more and not let you down."

"Yes, if you master the Divine Nourishing Sword Qi, remember to let me know."

"Oh? Why?"

"My father is looking forward to your results."

"If I master the skill, will your father betroth you to me?"

"How could that be! You wish! With talent like mine, my father would never arrange a marriage for me. My life is dedicated to cultivation; I would never marry!"

Gu Li glared at him, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Fang Wang suddenly couldn't tell if she was shy or angry, but he dared not say that he had mastered the Divine Sword Qi. He still wanted to keep his talent to himself.

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to cultivate!"

Gu Li snorted and turned back to her cave.

Fang Wang smiled and thought that Gu Li was quite interesting this way, at least she wasn't as aloof as usual.

He followed them back to his cave to prepare for cultivation. He knew that he might encounter cultivators from other dynasties in the Great Sage Cave Heaven, and he needed to become as strong as possible.

……

The month-long deadline arrived quickly, but the winter snow at Taiyuan Gate had not yet melted.

The main branch, in front of the Shiyuan Hall.

Fang Wang and Gu Li arrived on their swords and landed on the ground, where five disciples were already waiting, including Zhou Xue and Xu Lang.

Xu Lang's expression was very unnatural when he saw Fang Wang, but he still nodded to Fang Wang. Fang Wang also didn't put on airs and nodded in response.

Zhou Xue walked up to Fang Wang and teased, "You two seem to be a good couple."

Fang Wang raised an eyebrow and said, "After all, we're neighbors."

Gu Li glanced at Zhou Xue, then silently walked to the side, giving the two of them some space. She was not neglected because of this, and the other disciples began to exchange pleasantries with her.

Fang Wang chuckled softly, "It has to be you. Han Yu and the others all said they received your help and guidance. You didn't neglect anyone. In this respect, I can't compare to you. You are our leader."

The ringleader?

Zhou Xue smiled and said, "That title doesn't sound good. Don't think too much about it. Just focus all your energy on your own cultivation. If I have to leave, I'll let you know in advance. You don't need to worry about the Fang family."

Fang Wang nodded. The two had been through life and death together and were trustworthy. Moreover, because of Zhou Xue's presence, he hadn't had to worry about anything else along the way. Even when rescuing Fang Hanyu, Zhou Xue was there with him.

Even the matter of revenge was taken care of by Zhou Xue. Fang Wang didn't seem to have any objections on the surface, but he was secretly holding back a lot of energy.

Once he has the strength to confront Lu Yuanjun and the forces behind him, he will surely kill his enemy!

Not long after, Lu Yuanjun and another disciple arrived. The nine disciples representing Taiyuan Sect gathered together for the first time. Lu Yuanjun was naturally the central figure. He was excellent in his dealings with people and was able to take care of every disciple.

Zhou Xue was the same; she chatted and laughed with Lu Yuanjun as if they were a very good senior and junior brother and sister. Fang Wang, who knew the truth, sensed her murderous intent.

At this time.

The gates of the Shiyuan Hall opened, and Guang Qiuxian led a group of elders out. Vice Sect Leader Chen Anshi walked behind Guang Qiuxian, his imposing aura making him even more eye-catching than Guang Qiuxian.

"Deputy Sect Leader Chen Anshi is a spy for the Chi Mo Sect."

He was the one who spearheaded the subsequent siege of the Taiyuan Sect by the demonic forces. Stay away from him and don't believe anything he says.

Fang Wang suddenly heard Zhou Xue's telepathic message, and his heart pounded wildly.

Good grief, aren't you afraid the deputy sect leader will hear you?

Fang Wang didn't even dare to look at Zhou Xue, nor at Chen Anshi; his gaze was fixed on Guang Qiuxian.

His telepathic abilities were definitely inferior to Zhou Xue's, so he dared not answer.

Guang Qiuxian walked to the edge of the stone steps and said, "This trip will be led by the Vice Sect Leader and the Inheritance Elder. They will tell you the specific details along the way. Although this is an opportunity, it is also accompanied by danger. Take care of yourselves. I will be waiting for your return at Taiyuan Sect."

Fang Wang's gaze fell on the inheritance elder Zhao Chuangan. It was Zhao Chuangan who had taken him to seek immortality in Guang and then led him to the third lineage.

Zhao Chuangan felt Fang Wang's gaze, but he maintained his composure, only exchanging a glance with Fang Wang without responding.

Chen Anshi stepped forward, waved his right hand, and a small wooden boat flew out from his sleeve, quickly growing to be ten zhang long. There was also a pavilion on the boat, which was entirely red and hung with lanterns.

The wooden boat hovered in mid-air. As soon as it appeared, Fang Wang could clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth surging towards it.

Chen Anshi, Zhao Chuangan, and the five elders immediately jumped into the boat, followed closely by the nine disciples.

Standing on the deck, Fang Wang used his divine sense to examine the ship and discovered that beneath the planks were various talismans and intricate magical artifacts, complex and precise.

Soon, the wooden boat set sail, its speed suddenly increasing, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the snow and mist on the horizon.

Guang Qiuxian stood on the steps, looking up at this scene. The elders behind him left one after another. Finally, Yang Yuanzi walked out of the Shiyuan Hall and came to his side.

Now only the two of them remained.

A cold wind blew by, ruffling the hair of the two people.

"Senior brother, I have a feeling that the idea of ​​the Great Qi becoming a cultivation dynasty is unreliable. This trip to the Great Sage Cave Heaven is likely to lead to something big," Yang Yuanzi said in a detached tone.

Guang Qiuxian replied expressionlessly, "I know, but fortunately, the Great Sage Cave Heaven is not controlled by any sect. We cannot miss such an opportunity, as it will allow these disciples to grow up faster, especially Yuan Jun, whose strength the Taiyuan Sect needs."

Yang Yuanzi frowned and asked, "Recently, some criticisms about Lu Yuanjun have been circulating in our lineage. Senior brother, you must keep a close eye on him, don't spoil him, and don't forget his background."

Guang Qiuxian glanced at him and replied, "Junior brother, let the grudges of the previous generation be left to the previous generation. As for those criticisms, as long as they don't have a significant impact, just ignore them. Don't you also possess some of Qingchan Valley's magic? Do you want me to punish you?"

"Hmph! Then let me see if your pampered Lu Yuanjun can defeat Xia Qingchan of the Chimo Sect and Xu Qiuming of the Xuanhong Sword Sect!" Yang Yuanzi said coldly.

Guang Qiuxian shook his head and chuckled, then turned and walked towards the Shiyuan Palace.

……

As the sun sets, half of it is obscured by the horizon.

Fang Wang stood on the deck, facing the wind, admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, feeling relaxed and happy.

Having been cooped up in the Heavenly Palace for 120 years, he needed to relax, otherwise he was afraid he would have mental health issues.

In his previous life, he read various cultivation novels, but he never expected that after embarking on the path of cultivation, he would find himself on a completely different path.

What's this called?

Prison-style cultivation of immortality?

Fang Wang chuckled to himself. Although the years of cultivation in the Heavenly Palace were tedious and boring, the sense of accomplishment that followed was excellent, so he was still grateful to have the Heavenly Palace.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Xue's voice came, and she walked to Fang Wang's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Fang Wang glanced at her and chuckled softly, "I wasn't thinking about anything, just appreciating the scenery of this world. Cultivating immortality is about pursuing freedom, and looking at the world from here, isn't that freedom?"

Zhou Xue looked towards the horizon but did not reply.

Fang Wang didn't say much, continuing to immerse himself in the magnificent scenery.

As dusk fell, the sky was fiery red, and the sea of ​​clouds resembled smears of blood. The rolling mountains below appeared dark, but their peaks shone with light, making the whole world seem like a dream.

"The Great Sage's Grotto will be a turning point for the cultivation world of the Great Qi. Be extremely careful once you get inside. If you encounter disciples from other sects, do not trust them. If anyone shows you ill intentions, either kill them or run away. Do not hesitate."

Zhou Xue's voice rang in Fang Wang's ears, this time using a telepathic technique.

Fang Wang did not respond, fearing that the disciples and elders behind him would notice something amiss.

Afterwards, Zhou Xue continued to use telepathy to introduce Fang Wang to the outstanding figures of other sects, and even listed several who should not be provoked.

Gu Li sat cross-legged on the side of the boat. When she opened her eyes, she saw Fang Wang and Zhou Xue's backs. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the two looked so well-matched that she was lost in a daze.

A month ago, after witnessing Zhou Xue's performance, she knew she was no match for Zhou Xue, so now she has another target.

"If I can't defeat Zhou Xue, how can I be qualified to challenge you?"

As Gu Li thought this to herself, her eyes hardened.

At this moment, there was another person watching Fang Wang and the other person. This person was standing on the edge of the second floor of the pavilion, and it was Lu Yuanjun.
