Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 461: Sword in the Valley
"Chen Zili, greetings to the Master!"
Chen Zili first bowed deeply to the ancient sword, and then bowed to Gu Xiaoxing, saying, "Brother Gu, long time no see!"
"We are all old acquaintances, so don't be so polite!"
Gu Xiaoxing looked Chen Zili up and down, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Great! Chen Dazi, you've improved so fast!"
Having not seen him for over ten years, Gu Xiaoxing had never expected that Chen Zili's cultivation would improve so quickly, and he had actually reached the Nascent Soul stage!
Judging from its aura, it is not difficult to judge that the three golden dragon infants that Gu Xiaoxing had given to Gu Jianyi as a deposit were all given to Chen Ziling to condense the second Nascent Soul!
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxing finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least for now, it seemed that what Gu Jianyi said was true.
Seeing that Gu Xiaoxing was so unruly and called him a fool, Chen Zili was not angry at all. Instead, a faint smile appeared on his dull face. He asked, "How is the sect?"
"If you want to say this, then we have to get to know each other again."
Gu Xiaoxing waved his hands, put them behind his back, and said proudly, "I will always keep my name and surname. I am the leader of the Soul Devouring Sect, Gu Xiaoxing!"
When Chen Zili heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a trace of fear flashed across his eyes. He asked again: "Is the sect... still there?"
It was not that Chen Zili underestimated Gu Xiaoxing, on the contrary, he overestimated Gu Xiaoxing. Allowing such a naughty person to become the leader of a sect was a great misfortune for the sect!
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing immediately became angry. You may not believe in other things, but I have worked diligently and conscientiously for the sect over the years and shed so much blood for the sect. How can you not believe that he can do a good job as the sect leader!
Gu Xiaoxing covered his chest and stepped back step by step, looking at Chen Zili with a look of pain on his face.
"Today I finally understand that words can hurt people the most!"
Chen Zili stared at Gu Xiaoxing in a daze. For a moment, he didn't react to why he was like this. But then Gu Xiaoxing changed the subject and said, "So I decided to have a sparring match with you after a long separation, so that you can understand the pain in my heart!"
Although they said they were sparring, Gu Xiaoxing was actually already thinking about how to beat the other person.
When Chen Zili heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. In fact, he just made such a joke because he was happy to see an old friend.
It's just that he never jokes, so he looks a little stiff, but when he heard the word "exchange", he immediately became interested!
Although he could also see that Brother Gu's aura was not simple, his progress over the years was also enormous.
It would be nice to have some exchange of ideas!
On the side, Gu Jianyi's mouth twitched. He saw through Gu Xiaoxing's little thoughts at a glance, but he did not stop him.
A good sword is forged through repeated grinding.
Kendo, never afraid of failure!
But he couldn't help but mourn for his disciple in his heart, hoping that he wouldn't be beaten too badly.
Having reached Gu Jianyi's level, even if Gu Xiaoxing had a profound cultivation base, he could roughly judge his strength.
Although Chen Zili has made great progress under his careful teaching over the years, he is still far behind Gu Xiaoxing.
At least, for now!
"As for the future, that's not certain!"
Gu Jianyi murmured something in his heart, and then controlled the bronze sword to continue moving forward.
On the bronze sword, Gu Xiaoxing and Chen Zili exchanged a few simple greetings. At the same time, as they moved forward, sword tombs appeared in their sight one after another, and there were no less than a hundred of them!
However, compared to the Tianyi Sword Tomb, the swords in these sword tombs are not wrapped with chains.
But what made Gu Xiaoxing jealous was that the swords in these sword tombs were at least of the top-grade spiritual treasure level!
Moreover, he could also feel that they were at least top-grade spiritual treasures!
If Gu Xiaoxing could still tolerate this, then the swords in the first ten sword tombs, the power and sword intent they exuded, had already surpassed the top-grade spiritual treasures!
What does this prove? This proves that they are treasures and swords that can lead to immortality!
How could Gu Xiaoxing not be jealous? The only treasure that could bring immortality to him was a broken storage ring. Not to mention that he had not yet successfully refined it, even if he succeeded, it would have no combat power.
As for Diaotian, Ming Ling hasn't woken up yet, so it remains to be seen whether it can become a treasure for immortals in the end!
What Gu Xiaoxing cares about the most is undoubtedly the sword in the Tianyi Sword Tomb that he saw at the beginning. Although it is sealed, it must be at least a top-grade treasure for immortals!
Subconsciously, Gu Xiaoxing licked his lips. He felt that top-quality spiritual treasures could be crushed to pieces with his bare hands, which was no longer worthy of his attention.
This treasure of immortality should be enough!
I’m so jealous!
In addition, Gu Xiaoxing also discovered that among those sword tombs, there were many disciples of Jianyi Valley sitting cross-legged, seemingly practicing and comprehending the sword intent emanating from the swords in the sword tombs.
Moreover, some of the sword tombs were empty and did not contain any swords.
Gu Xiaoxing wondered whether this meant that the disciples of Jianyi Valley could only take the sword after their strength reached a certain level, or they had fully comprehended the sword's meaning, or they had to obtain the sword's recognition?
After a while, the sword tomb finally disappeared from the valley, and a criss-crossing cross appeared in front of Gu Xiaoxing.
Because the two valleys are extremely wide, nearly two thousand miles wide, this intersection is also extremely wide.
It was finally at this moment that Gu Xiaoxing saw a little bit of what a big force should look like.
At the crossroads of thousands of miles in radius, there were countless sword mountains standing in rows, no less than hundreds of them, large and small. On top of each sword mountain, there was a different building.
There are palaces, pavilions, pagodas, and martial arts fields. They are distributed on different sword mountains . There is even a huge forest park on one of the sword mountains. Although it is not very magnificent, it is still a place for immortals.
The bronze sword whizzed past the three people and instantly landed on one of the sword mountains. The next moment, the bronze sword naturally shrank and flew back into the scabbard behind Ancient Sword One.
The Sword Mountain where they landed was not very big . There was only a small garden on it, which was probably used to entertain guests.
"Please stay here for a while, my friend. I need to take Zili to make some preparations." said Gu Jian.
"Go! Go! Don't delay too long, I don't have much time." Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand, his eyes rolling around, seeming a little absent-minded.
"Ahem...! My friend, as we agreed before, shouldn't you settle the bill first?!" Gu Jianyi suddenly said.
Gu Xiaoxing curled his lips and took out the remaining seventeen golden dragon babies except for the deposit with a painful look on his face.
This was indeed what they had agreed upon before. After arriving at Jianyi Valley, Gu Xiaoxing needed to pay his part of the transaction first, help Chen Zili break through his cultivation, and then they could compete together for the innate true spirit fortune!
Now that he was already here, Gu Xiaoxing simply didn't hesitate any longer and handed all the golden dragon babies to Gu Jianyi.
After Gu Jian killed the dragon baby, he waved his hand and left with Chen Ziling.
Gu Xiaoxing was anxious and shouted, "Chen Daizi, where is the sparring match we agreed on?"
“Master…!” Chen Zili really wanted to spar as well.
"Another day!" Gu Jianyi interrupted him directly, and then continued: "I will take Chen Zili to retreat for a month. If you need anything, you can ask Azhi!"
The next moment, the two of them had gone far away and disappeared.
"Damn it, he actually got away!" Gu Xiaoxing looked at the direction where Gu Jianyi left, with a look of anger on his face!
At this time, a woman holding a sword came across the river. Her long hair was fluttering and her appearance was extraordinary. However, her face was full of frost, like ice and snow that had not melted for thousands of years. It was obvious that she was not someone who was easy to deal with.
But what kind of person is Gu Xiaoxing?
Whenever he is unhappy, as long as he has the strength, no matter if you are an ice fairy or the king, he dares to touch you!
After taking a quick glance and realizing that the other person was only in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, Gu Xiaoxing didn't care anymore and said calmly, "Are you Ah Zhi?"
The woman frowned, as if she was very displeased with Gu Xiaoxing's casual attitude, especially after she found out that he was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, the coldness on her face became even stronger.
In the world of cultivation, when a Nascent Soul meets a Spiritual Transformation, even if they don't respectfully address the other person as "senior", they have to call him "brother or sister", or at worst just out of false politeness call him "fellow Taoist".
Few people dare to call someone by their nickname as soon as they meet him/her like Gu Xiaoxing did.
Even though the Valley Master had just told the woman that this was a distinguished guest invited by Jianyi Valley and that he had reached some kind of deal with the Valley Master, the other party's rudeness immediately made her feel disgusted.
The woman looked at Gu Xiaoxing coldly and said mercilessly, "You can't call me Azhi. You can call me Li Azhi, or Li Daoyou."
"Oh, you're ugly and have a bad temper?"
Gu Xiaoxing complained in his heart. He hated this kind of people the most in his life. He immediately put on a sour face and said, "This is not important. What's important is that Senior Gu just said that I can come to you for anything I need."
"Now, I want to eat meat. You, go get me a thousand cows!"
Li Azhi's eyes narrowed. She couldn't believe that after her warning, the other party's attitude not only did not improve, but became even worse. He even dared to make such a request!
Suddenly, a surge of anger rushed to her head. She, Li Azhi, was one of the six true disciples of Jianyi Valley. Not to mention that she had already become a spirit now, even when she was in the Nascent Soul stage and the Core Formation stage, she had never suffered such humiliation!
"What? You don't even listen to the Valley Master's words?" Gu Xiaoxing added fuel to the fire, with a sarcastic look on his face.
Li Azhi gritted her teeth, restrained the sword in her hand that had begun to argue, resisted the urge to draw the sword, and said coldly: "Jian Yigu, can't meet your needs."
Gu Xiaoxing glanced at the sword in Li Azhi's hand and thought to himself, if you dare to draw the sword, I will dare to use a knife!
Just when Gu Xiaoxing was about to taunt the other party even more and use the other party's anger to smooth out his own anger, a sword beam suddenly came from afar!
