Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 399 Xiao Jiu
It turned out to be a small green sword, several inches long, shining with cold light.

Seeing that the young woman surnamed Bai blocked the flying sword he released so easily, the old man with thick eyebrows was shocked and angry. Then he turned his gaze to the young woman surnamed Bai's palm, which was obviously abnormally crystal clear, as if he had figured something out.

His face suddenly became clear and he became ecstatic:
"You actually have such a high level of body refining skills. You definitely don't have any talent for body refining. It seems that the 'Wangshu Jue' is a body refining technique, and it doesn't require high qualifications. It is worthy of being the foundation of an ancient sect. It is indeed extraordinary."

The difficulty of body refining is understood by all cultivators, but the 'Wangshu Jue' seems to be able to easily elevate one's body refining skills to an extremely high level. How could this not make the old man with thick eyebrows ecstatic?

The young woman surnamed Bai below did not show any joy on her face at this moment, but a heavy expression instead. She had already tried her best just now, but what she received was just a casual attack from the old man with thick eyebrows.

At this time, the old man with thick eyebrows shouted without thinking, and the magic formula in his hand kept moving like a wheel, and he pointed at the small green sword in the distance.

A flash of green light appeared, and the small sword immediately glowed with energy. Its size grew rapidly, and it turned into a giant emerald green sword several feet in size, which slashed fiercely towards the bottom.

If what he did just now was just a test, then now he would kill the two people below.

"The Wangshu Jue is mine. Only if you die can this secret be kept. When I master the body-refining technique, even the head brother will not be my opponent!"

The old man with thick eyebrows had growing ambition in his heart. Who wouldn't covet the position of the head of the sect? The reason why he didn't take any action was simply because he lacked strength and had to suppress his desires.

The huge sword fell with overwhelming spiritual pressure, and the pretty female cultivator's face turned pale.

The young woman surnamed Bai had a solemn expression on her face. She frantically chanted the spell without thinking. After her face turned an unnatural red, her body immediately began to emit a bright spiritual light. A faint shadow of a scarlet spiritual flower appeared around her.

Then the young woman surnamed Bai gave a light shout, and a spiritual flower several feet in size flew up rapidly and collided with the giant sword.

The green light and the red light intertwined, the spiritual light was so bright that it was extremely dazzling.

The old man with thick eyebrows exclaimed in confusion. He didn't expect that his full-strength attack was still blocked. Even though the young woman surnamed Bai seemed to be seriously injured and used a desperate secret technique, it was still amazing that she could withstand the full-strength attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

He muttered something to himself and made hand gestures again. Just as the old man with thick eyebrows was about to activate the giant sword again, something strange happened.

With a loud bang, the spiritual flower exploded, and the surrounding area was filled with scarlet petal fragments, covering everything.

Soon the scarlet petals turned into points of light and dissipated, and the place suddenly became quiet.

After dispersing the protective spiritual light, the old man with thick eyebrows saw only the small sword left in the air, wailing non-stop and seemingly having lost a lot of its spiritual power. His expression looked grim.

“Want to escape into the land of thunder punishment? Not that easy.” The old man with thick eyebrows put away his natal sword and watched the two people escape hundreds of feet away. Without thinking, he used his escape light to chase after them.

One was chasing and the other was fleeing, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.

The young woman surnamed Bai was flying through the air with the pretty girl. Her face was pale at this moment.

"Senior Sister." The pretty girl looked at the young woman with a distressed voice.

"Little Junior Sister, don't worry, it's just that my blood and energy have been depleted. The Land of Thunder Punishment is an ancient dangerous place. As long as we enter it, we will be safe. The person behind us doesn't have a map to guide him. Even if he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would never dare to withstand the thunder strike head-on."

The young woman surnamed Bai's voice was weak and her face was getting paler. She was burning her blood and essence every moment, otherwise, she would have been caught up long ago.

"Ah."

Tears glistened in the girl's eyes. Her mother had been seriously injured while fighting for the 'Wangshu Jue' in the ruins. Although she managed to hold on for hundreds of years, she died not long ago due to the severity of her injuries.

Now the only one she can rely on is her senior sister, who is also her only relative.

Listening to the sound of thunder, she suddenly glanced forward and said in a lost voice:
"what is that!"

The young woman surnamed Bai's expression also changed drastically. She stopped her escape at the place of thunder punishment and stared at it blankly.

The land of thunder punishment is filled with lightning, and thunder falls all the time. Under the power of heavenly thunder, even a Nascent Soul cultivator will die. The ground is charred black because of the lightning strikes, and there is not even any grass or trees, let alone other things.

But at this moment, as the lightning flashed, golden, green and red lights appeared in the sky above the land of thunder punishment, as if there was something there.

"It's flying swords, a lot of flying swords!" The female cultivator surnamed Bai murmured in shock.

"Flying sword?" The girl looked puzzled. With her level of cultivation, she naturally didn't understand how shocking this scene was.

Soon, the old man with thick eyebrows caught up and landed on the side.

"Run away, why don't you run away?" Looking at the two of them, the old man with thick eyebrows laughed strangely.

At this time he still had some doubts. These two people were obviously trying to escape into the land of thunder punishment, but now they were standing outside and had no intention of going in.

"Take a look inside first."

At this time, the young woman surnamed Bai's expression had returned to normal, and her tone was calm, without any sign of panic or fear.

"Inside? Besides the thunder that falls from the sky, what else is there in the Land of Thunder Punishment?"

The old man with thick eyebrows turned his head and looked. After he saw clearly what was mixed in the thunder and lightning, the sound stopped abruptly.

"Flying sword! What kind of flying sword can survive the thunder?" The old man with thick eyebrows showed greed. The flying sword that can resist the power of thunder must be far more powerful than the top-level ancient treasures.

In Tiansha Continent, there are only a few top-level ancient treasures.

Thinking of this, the old man with thick eyebrows had a gleam in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to count the number of flying swords in the land of thunder punishment.

"One, two, three"

"Two hundred and eighteen, a total of two hundred and nineteen!"

Seeing this, the young lady surnamed Bai sneered and said slowly:
"Do you still want to seize these powerful flying swords?"

"Let's not talk about whether you can block the thunder of the Thunder Punishment Land. Even if these spiritual flying swords exert their power on their own, they may be able to destroy you with one strike."

"Besides, you don't think these flying swords appeared out of thin air, do you? They have obviously been carefully cultivated for a long time and placed in this land of thunder punishment to absorb the power of heavenly thunder." "To refine swords with thunder, you can imagine how powerful their masters are. They are definitely not comparable to you, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator. Maybe he is the legendary ancestor in the God Transformation Stage."

An old ancestor in the God Transformation Stage appeared in Tiansha Continent. That was why she was not panicking. Nothing could be worse than the current situation. At worst, she would offer the "Wangshu Jue" and become a disciple of an old ancestor in the God Transformation Stage. Then, no one in the entire Tiansha Continent could threaten her and her junior sister.

As a practitioner of 'Wangshu Jue', she certainly knew how powerful 'Wangshu Jue' was and had full confidence in this technique. Even an old ancestor in the Spirit Transformation Stage would certainly be tempted by it.

After a while, the old man with thick eyebrows retracted his gaze, was stunned for a while, and said:
"Why would an old ancestor in the Spiritualization Stage come to the tiny Tiansha Continent? You are probably overthinking it."

"This land of thunder and punishment has existed since ancient times, and no one knows how it was formed. As for these flying swords, it is more likely that they were refined by ancient monks using special secret techniques and hidden in the land of thunder and punishment, using the power of heavenly thunder to enhance the power of the flying swords."

"The ancient cultivators had amazing skills. It is not impossible to refine treasures with heavenly thunder."

"And the reason why these flying swords appeared at this time is that the means left by the ancient cultivators have become ineffective, and it just happened to be time for them to appear in the world."

Having said that, the old man with thick eyebrows did not seem to be impatient to grab the flying sword. Instead, he stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.

"Old man, give up your idea."

A clear and tender voice suddenly came from a bush, and then a ball of white light flew out from it, spun in the air, and turned into a girl of about six or seven years old.

She was wearing a snow-white dress and had nine black braids on her head, which made her look extremely cute!
"Are you a human or a monster?" The old man with thick eyebrows was startled by the sudden appearance of the little girl. He had not noticed it at all beforehand.

As far as he knew, apart from some cultivators who had taken special elixirs that prevented them from growing up, the only cultivators who could transform into demons and have the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage while looking like they were sixty or seventy years old.

However, one thing that puzzled him was that a demon cultivator in the early stage of transformation should retain some characteristics of a demon cultivator, but the girl in front of him looked no different from an ordinary person, which was really strange.

"I've met senior."

With a sweep of her spiritual sense, the young woman discovered that the girl was at the Nascent Soul stage. She immediately pulled her junior sister and bowed respectfully.

They didn't care about that and just had to show due respect to this new female senior.

As if she was very satisfied with the respect of the two, the little girl nodded at the two girls, then turned her head to look at the old man with thick eyebrows, staring at him with her big eyes that were clearly black and white, and said with a slight movement of her little mouth:

"I am neither a human nor a demon. As for what my true form is, there is no need to tell you, old man."

This little girl was naturally the transformed form of the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng. Due to the strangeness of her original form, even though she had only been transformed for a few years, her appearance was no different from that of an ordinary person.

"The spiritual being changes into human form!" The old man with thick eyebrows immediately thought of this and was horrified.

The transformation of spiritual beings only exists in legends, and he has only seen a few fragmentary records about it in the classics handed down from ancient times.

"Excuse me, may I ask your name, senior?" The young woman asked, not knowing the senior's name. Of course, she also wanted to get closer to this senior who was neither human nor demon.

Hearing the young woman's respectful tone, the little girl's face lit up with joy, and she pursed her lips and replied:
"You can just call me 'Xiaojiu'. This is the name my master gave me."

"As a senior, it feels really good to be respected by others." Xiaojiu, who appeared in front of outsiders for the first time, was very happy.

Although he has reached the Nascent Soul stage and is considered a high-level cultivator in the entire human world, Xiaojiu's state of mind is still relatively immature and he is easily happy.

"Master? Fellow Daoist actually has a master?" The old man with thick eyebrows had a bad premonition in his heart.

"The flying sword you covet is my master's life-saving magic weapon. If you dare to make a move, I will have no choice but to fulfill my duty of protecting the flying sword." Xiao Jiu pursed her lips and explained lightly.

In fact, the duty she mentioned was just a casual remark. She was just playing around nearby, and her master's natal flying sword did not need her to protect at all.

“Since this flying sword belongs to someone, I naturally won’t take it by force.” The old man with thick eyebrows said helplessly. It goes without saying that the owner of the flying sword is very powerful and is definitely not someone that their Jinyang Sect can afford to provoke since he has a transformed spirit creature in the Nascent Soul stage as his subordinate.

"It's something that belongs to someone else? Taking it by force?" The young woman surnamed Bai sneered, her tone full of disdain.

Being laughed at in front of others, the old man with thick eyebrows twitched his face, and looked at Xiao Jiu unwillingly and said:
"You have nothing to do with these two people. If this is the case, I will kill them. You will not stop me, right?"

Before Xiaojiu could answer, the young lady surnamed Bai hurriedly said:

"Please take us to see your master, Senior Xiaojiu. We have a precious technique to offer you."

"Precious martial arts? It is related to your physical training. The master is indeed interested in finding a physical training method suitable for women." Xiao Jiu blinked his big black and white eyes and did not agree immediately.

The young lady surnamed Bai, who had been prepared for this, said without thinking:
"That's right. What I'm going to present to you is indeed a body-building exercise, and it's a body-building exercise tailor-made for women, called 'Hundred Flowers Wangshu Jue'."

"This technique is very different from other body-refining techniques. Practicing other techniques will make your skin, flesh, and even your body harder as your body-refining skills improve."

"But the 'Hundred Flowers Wangshu Jue' does not have these flaws. Instead, it can make the practitioner's skin smoother and more delicate, while also being extremely flexible and resilient without losing its original elasticity."

As she spoke, the young woman surnamed Bai raised one hand with five fingers spread out to show that what she said was true.

Seeing those green fingers and white jade-like skin, which seemed to be more beautiful than her palms, Xiaojiu's face was full of joy, and she nodded gently, "This 'Hundred Flowers Wangshu Jue' is indeed extraordinary, the master will definitely be very satisfied. However, if you lie to me, you should know the consequences."

"I would never dare to do that, let alone deceive my master." The young woman surnamed Bai said with a serious expression.

"It's good that you know." Xiao Jiu's expression eased up, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the old man with thick eyebrows, not disguising the warning in his tone at all, "This is not a place for you to stay for a long time. Cultivators are not allowed to stay outside the land of thunder punishment."

After saying this, without waiting for their answer, he took the two young women surnamed Bai and rushed away.

This time, Xiaojiu had found the body-building technique that his master had been longing for, so he naturally had to bring it to his master as soon as possible.

The old man with thick eyebrows was stunned at first. After a long while, he sighed, turned into a green light, and returned to the way he came.

"Senior Xiaojiu, where does your master live now?" In the escape light, the young woman surnamed Bai and her junior sister followed closely the white escape light in front and asked curiously.

"It's on a small hill here." Xiaojiu replied.
