Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 32: Sword Control Sect
A group of people stood on the huge flying sword, led by a young man in red.
The young man stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Elder Fu, I will go there in person. If there is no Earthly Immortal Spring, do you know the consequences?"
Behind the young man in red was an old man in purple robes. His cultivation aura was obviously much higher than that of the young man, but he was extremely respectful. He said, "Don't worry, young master. That place is extremely secret. I discovered it by chance when I returned from my travels. It was a coincidence. If I hadn't built my foundation with earth spirit roots and belonged to the same source, I would never have discovered that there was an earth spirit root growing under the ten thousand feet earth spirit abyss. The reason why I didn't kill the guardian monster and take the spirit root is because the earth spirit root has already started to attract tides. Calculating the days, it's almost time for the immortal spring to form. It's just the right time to go there!"
"Um!"
The young man in red nodded calmly, "I have been reluctant to break through because I don't want to build a spiritual foundation like those rubbish. This Earth Immortal Spring is a rare immortal foundation opportunity, I must get it. Have you told others about this?"
The old man knew that the "others" referred to the other young masters, and immediately shook his head and said, "Only you know!"
The young man nodded in satisfaction again, and then fell silent. The giant sword whizzed across the mountains at an astonishing speed!
On the other side, in the Earth Spirit Abyss.
"Ling'er, that blood turtle is a great tonic, blow it up!"
"Ling'er, that five-colored elk is a delicacy, fry it!"
"Hey! Thousand-layer Heartless Bamboo Shoots, good stuff! Ling'er, go dig it up!"
Three days passed in a flash, and Gu Xiaoxing had never felt so satisfied. He suddenly felt that this competition was not bad. During the competition, he tasted many familiar and unfamiliar monsters. He felt full of energy. Even though his body was so strong, he gained some weight. Although it was not obvious, it was true.
The little girl was much more obvious, her pink face had become fatter, making her even cuter. People couldn't help but want to pinch her, but she pouted at this moment because she couldn't find the monster.
After several days of continuous bombing and hunting by other outer disciples, the monsters were either killed or fled deeper into the area, knowing that there was a great terror out there. After all, they were not ordinary beasts and had some intelligence. In fact, many monsters could speak human language after reaching the foundation-building stage.
However, it was not just the monsters that were complaining, but the sect disciples who were outside the Earth Spirit Abyss were the same. Most of these disciples were relatively weak, and had never thought about competing for a ranking. They just wanted to gain some experience and kill the monsters at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Condensation.
But now, the monsters have all run deep into the area. Going further in would be the territory of the eighth level Qi Condensation monsters. If you encounter one, not only would you not be able to defeat it, you might not be able to escape either, and would just lose your life in vain. Many people had no choice but to stop on the periphery, which was equivalent to giving up the experience of the competition.
They naturally knew that the culprit was Gu Xiaoxing and the other two. At first, some people were indignant and wanted to argue, but when they saw Gu Xiaoxing wave his hand and Lu Linger threw out two pills, blasting even the demon beast with the seventh level of Qi Condensation cultivation into a bloody mess, they gave up.
At this moment, the total number of earth spirits, big and small, on Gu Xiaoxing and the other person exceeded a hundred.
"Ah...!" Lu Ling'er sighed heavily. She was small but full of sorrow. "Brother, it looks like this is the end. Master has repeatedly warned me not to let Ling'er go deep into the Earth Spirit Abyss."
When they first arrived at the Earth Spirit Abyss, it was Lu Linger who advised Gu Xiaoxing to find monsters to kill, but now the situation is completely reversed.
Gu Xiaoxing coughed lightly and said, "Ling'er, don't you want to eat the delicious monster?"
"I do!" The little girl licked her lips with light in her eyes.
"Don't you want to be more beautiful?"
"I want to!" The light in the little girl's eyes became brighter.
"Then why are you hesitating? Follow your brother and go in to catch the monster."
"But if Master knew..."
"As long as you don't tell me, I won't tell you... Don't worry, I will protect you!"
Finally, Gu Xiaoxing took the little girl's hand and walked deeper into the cave, saying, "Ling'er, how many Thunderbolt Pills do we have left?"
"There are still dozens of them..."
"Besides the Thunderbolt Pill, does Master have anything more powerful for you..."
The two of them gradually walked away. If the Fifth Elder was still alive and saw this scene, he would be so angry that he would smash Gu Xiaoxing to death with a pill furnace. Not only did he abduct and take away his beloved disciple, but he also stole his magic weapons and elixirs!
However, the Fifth Elder obviously could not see it. Although he was really in the sky at the moment, everything he saw in the Earth Spirit Abyss was blurry. The clouds covering the abyss were a bit strange, and even his spiritual sense could not see through it. Fortunately, he gave a lot before the trip and was not worried about the little girl's safety.
Suddenly, the Fifth Elder's expression froze, and he saw a young man in red flying towards the Earth Spirit Abyss in the distance. He was about to shout to stop him, but suddenly his heart started to tremble. He looked up and saw a huge sword a hundred feet long falling from the sky like a falling meteorite, carrying a terrifying power, as if it wanted to chop down the black tortoise and the people on it together.
"Who are you?"
The Fifth Elder shouted angrily, and the Sanyang Spirit Refining Furnace above his head shook. He slapped it out with a palm, and it soared into the sky. In an instant, it exploded into a huge golden furnace of ten feet in size, and collided with the giant sword. The heaven and earth roared.
At this time, the other two foundation-building elders also reacted and took out their magic weapons and attacked the sky. However, the giant sword suddenly dispersed, not shattered, but turned into countless small flying swords, which surrounded the black tortoise. At the same time, seven figures appeared behind the scattered giant sword.
These seven people are all at the foundation building stage! Especially the purple-robed old man, who is at the peak of the foundation building stage like the fifth elder. He spoke indifferently, "Old man, it's not easy to kill you, but it's not difficult to trap you."
Looking at the densely packed flying swords all around, the Fifth Elder's face became extremely gloomy , and he said coldly: "People from the Sword Controlling Sect, do you want to provoke a war with my Soul Devouring Sect?"
The purple-robed old man smiled slightly, but shook his head: "I came here not to make an enemy of your Soul Devouring Sect, but because my young master wants to take something from this Earth Spirit Abyss. You should be patient."
At this time, the fifth elder looked at the young man in red in the distance, and the young man seemed to be looking at him as well, with a half-smile on his face.
The fifth elder immediately snorted coldly, "Earth Spirit Abyss is the trial site of our Soul Devouring Sect. You attacked us without any reason and still say you are not our enemy. You bastards, do you really think that our Soul Devouring Sect is easy to bully?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sanyang Spirit Refining Furnace emitted a golden light and smashed out directly, but was blocked by several people at the same time.
“Don’t hold back, follow me and smash those broken swords together!” The fifth elder was furious, and then he sacrificed several magic weapons. At the same time, elixirs and talismans flew out, exploded with a loud bang, and thunder rumbled.
The remaining two second-generation elders who were in the middle stage of foundation building also began to attack with all their strength, and even the giant black turtle opened its mouth and sprayed out a stream of water.
"Tiangang Sword Formation!" the purple-robed old man suddenly spoke.
The seven members of the Sword Controlling Sect made hand gestures at the same time, forming a huge seven-pointed star formation that connected to each other. At the same time, countless flying swords in the formation began to rotate, bringing up endless strong winds, wrapping up the five elders and the black tortoise. No matter how the magic weapons attacked, the elixirs and talismans exploded, and even the Three Yang Spirit Refining Furnace that was a hundred feet big hit the strong wind, it only made a hole, and could not break the formation completely. Even the hole healed instantly.
The fifth elder felt a sinking feeling in his heart and looked into the distance. The young man in red was just sinking into the abyss of clouds and mist.
"Everyone please wait here for a moment. When the young master comes out, we will leave..." the purple-robed old man said lightly.
