Chapter 211: Going to Taiguang Mountain Again

Amid the sound of the sand, Xu Heng couldn't help but feel refreshed.

He knew that the Taixu Xuanxiang Sword Box was quite powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.

It should be noted that this performance, even if the eight unrefined restrictions are subtracted, is still far from reaching the limit of the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box.

The Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box is a magical weapon of the Earth Demon, which has two functions. One is to store flying swords. When a flying sword is placed in it, it can not only hide its edge and sharpen its form, but also be used to refine sword energy.

This brings us to the second function of the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box, which is to refine sword energy.

The owner of the sword box can use the flying sword stored in it to cultivate a murderous sword energy. The nature and power of this sword energy depends half on the zodiac and grade of the flying sword, and half on the time of cultivation.

As the time of refining increases, the power of the sword energy will increase day by day until it reaches a limit, or even leaves the body.

Of course, if there is no flying sword stored inside, one can also refine the sword energy in the Taixu Xuanxiang Sword Box by infusing it with magic power, filling it with spiritual energy, or even talismans, precious materials, and so on.

Although the sword energy obtained in this way is not as powerful as that refined with the help of a flying sword, it can also be increased through refinement.

It was for this reason that Xu Heng felt that the sword he had just tried, although infused with powerful true fire, was still far from reaching its limit in power.

It is also for this reason that the Taixu Xuanxiang Sword Box has the defect of 'consuming a lot of mana'. If the owner of the sword box wants to continuously refine the sword energy, he will inevitably need to use mana to maintain it. This will naturally make it difficult for the owner of the sword box to bear the burden.

Not to mention, there are five sword positions in the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box, which means that at most five sword energies can be refined, and it is easy to imagine how much magic power it consumes.

But if this function is abandoned, the powerful power of the Taixu Xuanxiang Sword Box will be half wasted, and it may not be as mysterious as other magical weapons.

However, this shortcoming can be said to be almost non-existent for Xu Heng.

He cultivated himself to the point of unity of Gang and Sha, and his magic power increased horribly. The consumption of magic power that ordinary people could hardly bear was not necessarily too much for him.

What's more, he also participates in the balance of yin and yang, and the two energies circulate in his body, making his magic power endless. Even if he maintains the Taixu Xuanxiang Sword Box to refine sword energy from time to time, he can keep his magic power full for a long time.

Therefore, the so-called loss of mana is not so much a burden to him as it is more like a task of refining mana.

Xu Heng gently stroked the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box with his fingertips, feeling its cool touch and liking it very much.

He tidied up the alchemy room a little, then took the sword case and went straight to the Yin-Yang Jade Pool, where he sat cross-legged and placed the sword case horizontally on his knees.

If there is any shortcoming in the Taixu Xuanxiang Sword Box, it is that it cannot be put into the acupoints at will.

Firstly, it only tempers the form, but does not offer sacrifices to the Tiangang, so it does not have the ability to change the size as desired; secondly, it is not good to refine the sword energy in the acupoints, otherwise if something goes wrong, the owner of the sword box may not be able to bear it.

However, Xu Heng did not care about it. He just started to try, injecting magic power, true fire, and even the cold air created by his magical powers into it. As expected, the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box accepted all the magic power.

In this way, as the sun and the moon rotated several times, lines of sword energy were refined from the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box, and the power accumulated bit by bit.

Xu Heng calculated in his mind that if a sword energy was to accumulate its power to its extreme, it would take at least eighty or ninety days.

It takes almost a season, which is considered a very long time for many magical instruments and Taoist techniques that require prior preparation to exert their greatest power, but the power should also be considerable.

Xu Heng expected that if he accumulated the 'Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Qi' to the extreme, it might pose a certain threat to Jindan cultivators, even if he had not yet refined all of its restrictions.

Although a magic weapon refined to the fifty-fourth level of Earthly Evil Restraint could theoretically be compared to the magic of a Jindan cultivator, in reality, only a very small number of people could truly possess such power.

But Taixu must be one of the very few with the Xuanxiang Sword Box. It's just a pity that Xu Heng doesn't have eighty or ninety days now.

He kept in mind that the time was approaching, so he picked up the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang sword box, closed the cave again, and went to the Xuanzhao Peak.

Xu Heng rang the golden bell in front of the door, and soon the door opened. He thought it was Tang Zhi who came to lead him in, but unexpectedly it was Qiao Cheng who walked out slowly.

When Xu Heng visited Qiao Cheng in the past, he usually wore ordinary Taoist robes. But today, for some reason, he not only put on a robe with five-flame gold patterns, but also wore a sun-hanging crown. The whisk in his arms remained the same, as when Tianfeng first met Xu Heng that day.

"Teacher." Xu Heng hurriedly stepped back and saluted. Qiao Cheng just hummed and asked, "Have you made all the preparations?"

"Yes." When Xu Heng lowered his head and answered, Qiao Cheng's eyes fell on the sword case on his back, and he showed a hint of surprise, but quickly concealed it.

"In that case." After receiving Xu Heng's answer, he did not want to say more, but just said, "Let's go."

Xu Heng suddenly felt his feet lighten, and when he looked down, he saw flames rising up, which instantly lifted the two of them into the air, and then they "rammed" outwards -

It was as if the universe had been turned upside down. Xu Heng felt that all the colors between heaven and earth became blurred and turned into streams of light that retreated backwards.

All signs seemed to tell Xu Heng that he was moving at an unimaginable speed.

Xu Heng calmed down and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the fire escape of the great cultivator Lianxu..."

Once, when Qiao Cheng brought Xu Heng back to the mountain, he felt Qiao Cheng's fire escape. At that time, he hadn't even cultivated Xuan Guang, and it was difficult for him to even feel the word "fast".

Now, Xu Heng has made some progress in his practice, but it is still difficult for him to understand how the fire escape of a Void Refining cultivator works.
It seemed like in just a blink of an eye, the sun in the sky moved from far away to near, and then passed quickly overhead.

When Xu Heng realized that the speed of travel was gradually slowing down, he looked down and saw a strange landscape with green mountains that yet had some familiar corners.

This is the longest mountain range in Tianfeng, and also the location of Xuanwei Sect’s immortal abode, Taiguang Mountain.

When Xu Heng was gazing at the mountain range, Qiao Cheng also seemed to have a deep gaze. He looked for about a moment before humming slightly and taking Xu Heng into the mountains, waving his sleeves again.

Xu Heng only felt that there seemed to be a layer of fog, which was lifted from the sky by Master Qiao, and a mountain gate that Xu Heng had never seen from the front but still felt familiar appeared in front of the two of them.

His gaze could not help but leap over the mountain gate and follow the wide bluestone steps all the way to the end.

In a trance, he actually saw a familiar shadow, with a breath of depression in his chest, rushing down the mountain path.

Qiao Cheng brought Xu Heng and passed through the formation of Taiguang Immortal Palace. He had no intention of staying and was about to go up the mountain, but after taking a look at Xu Heng, he couldn't help but retract his hand.

"Go up the mountain." Qiao Cheng said, "I'll wait for you in front of the Taiguang Hall."

After saying this, the flame flashed and disappeared in front of the mountain gate.

Xu Heng came back to his senses and answered yes. He then looked up at the word "Tai Guang" on the mountain gate and couldn't help but smile.

He raised his head, walked through the mountain gate, and had no intention of escaping, but walked upwards step by step on the bluestone.

Only then did Xu Heng realize that the road down Taiguang Mountain was so long.

It took him a long time to walk up Taiguang Mountain.
