Shengui Changsheng: Start from Zhenwuwei and add some points to cultivate immortality

"This demonic energy is purer than the ones we encountered before," Nangong Xuan said gravely. "It seems there is indeed a more powerful force controlling the Blood Fiend Sect."

Fu Shaoping noticed a series of strange footprints at the entrance to the Sword Peak Forbidden Area, surrounded by a faint purple aura: "Master, these footprints..."

"It's the mark of the Purple Lightning Sword!" Nangong Wan exclaimed, "But my Purple Lightning Sword has always been with me."

Before the words were even finished, a deafening sword cry suddenly echoed from the depths of Sword Peak! The sound was so familiar it was chilling—it was the cry of the Xuan Tian Sect's most treasured weapon, the "Tian Xuan Sword"!

"Not good!" Nangong Xuan's expression changed drastically. "Someone is at the Heavenly Profound Sword Tomb!"

The group rushed to the sword tomb, only to be met with a breathtaking sight—the tomb of the Heavenly Profound Sword had been forcibly opened, and the area around it was in complete disarray. Even more shockingly, the Heavenly Profound Sword was nowhere to be found!
"This is impossible!" Nangong Xuan's voice trembled. "The Heavenly Profound Sword possesses a spirit; without my personal unsealing, no one can take it away!"

Fu Shaoping suddenly felt the Azure Frost Sword tremble violently, as if it were resonating with something. He closed his eyes and probed along the power of the sword's soul with his divine sense. A scene appeared in his mind: a figure draped in black robes holding the Heavenly Profound Sword, the tip of which pointed towards the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate.
"Master!" Fu Shaoping suddenly opened his eyes. "I saw it! That person is going straight for the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate!"

Nangong Xuan's expression was grave: "Summon all the elders and activate the mountain-protecting formation!" He turned to Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan, "You two immediately go to the Scripture Pavilion and retrieve the 'Mysterious Heaven Secret Records,' which may provide a solution."

The two obeyed and left. Inside the Scripture Pavilion, Nangong Wan quickly searched for books, while Fu Shaoping closed his eyes, sensing the guidance of the Azure Frost Sword. Suddenly, the Azure Frost Sword emitted a clear, long cry, its tip pointing to a long-forgotten bookshelf deep within the Scripture Pavilion.

"There!" Fu Shaoping strode forward and pulled out a tattered ancient book. The pages were yellowed, but the contents were astonishing—the words "Secret History of the Blood Fiend Sect" were clearly visible!
According to the book, the Blood Fiend Sect is not an ordinary demonic sect, but a branch of the extraterrestrial demon race sealed away three thousand years ago by the ancestor of the Profound Heaven Sect. And the Heavenly Profound Sword is the key to that seal!
"No wonder," Nangong Wan gasped, "No wonder the Blood Fiend Sect is so obsessed with the Heavenly Profound Sword."

Fu Shaoping closed the ancient book: "Master is right, things are more serious than we imagined. We must return to the mountain gate immediately!"

As soon as the two left the Sutra Repository, they saw a dark figure descend from the sky and land in the courtyard! It was a tall figure draped in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, and he was holding the Heavenly Profound Sword in his hand!
"I've finally found you." The black-robed man's voice was low and hoarse. "Hand over the 'Mysterious Heaven Secret Record,' and I may spare your corpses."

Nangong Xuan emerged from the shadows, waving his horsetail whisk: "Blood Demon, you've finally shown yourself!"

The man in black robes lifted his hood, revealing a face covered in blood-red lines—it was none other than the Blood Shadow Demon Lord who should have been nailed to death by the Azure Frost Sword!
"No, this is impossible!" Nangong Wan exclaimed in shock, "Your physical body has clearly been..."

The Blood Shadow Demon Lord grinned maliciously as he raised the Heavenly Profound Sword: "Foolish little girl, you think killing my physical body will destroy me?" He ripped open his robes, revealing a beating crimson heart. "As long as this demonic core remains, I can be reborn!"

Fu Shaoping felt the sword spirit power within his body fluctuate violently, and the Azure Frost Sword emitted a piercing hum. He abruptly drew the sword from its sheath, the runes on its blade glowing with a dazzling azure light: "Master, it's time!"

Nangong Xuan's whisk transformed into countless golden threads, intertwining with the blood-red chains. Taking advantage of the situation, the Blood Shadow Demon Lord closed in on the two: "Hand over the secret manual!"

At the critical moment, the sword spirit power within Fu Shaoping suddenly erupted. The runes on the Azure Frost Sword moved as if alive, finally transforming into a stream of azure light that entered his right arm. At the same time, the Heavenly Profound Sword seemed to be summoned by something, letting out a mournful cry and breaking free from the Blood Shadow Demon Lord's control on its own!

"What...what's going on?" Blood Shadow Demon Lord exclaimed in shock and anger.

Fu Shaoping did not answer, but instead raised the Azure Frost Sword high: "Mysterious Yang Sword Technique - Heaven and Earth Live Together!"

All the runes on the Azure Frost Sword lit up, and an unprecedentedly powerful sword aura erupted from the sword, pointing directly at the Blood Shadow Demon Lord! At the same time, the Heavenly Profound Sword also transformed into a golden light, echoing the Azure Frost Sword!

Blood Shadow Demon Lord hastily summoned a blood-red shield, but was struck by two sword energies simultaneously! "No!!!" He let out a shrill scream as the sword energy pierced through his entire body, and his blood-red heart exploded in his chest!
Amidst a rain of blood, the Blood Shadow Demon Lord's body plummeted like a broken doll. But just as he was about to hit the ground, a purple figure suddenly descended from the sky and grabbed his collar!

"Junior sister?" Fu Shaoping looked at Nangong Wan in shock.

Holding the Purple Lightning Sword, Nangong Wan's eyes flashed with resolute light: "This sword is to avenge my fallen comrades!" The Purple Lightning Sword shone like a rainbow, directly piercing through the Blood Shadow Demon Lord's demon core!

"boom!"

Amidst a deafening explosion, the Blood Shadow Demon Lord was reduced to ashes. Even more shockingly, his body shattered into countless black fragments, each fragment shimmering with eerie runes.
Nangong Xuan approached with a grave expression: "This is... the Blood Fiend Sect's secret technique, 'Blood Shadow Clone'?"

Fu Shaoping shook his head: "No, this is even more terrifying than the Blood Shadow Clone." He pointed to the black fragments, "These fragments are covered with demonic runes; the Blood Shadow Demon Lord seems to be brewing some much larger conspiracy."

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the direction of the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate! Everyone looked up and saw a huge crack appear on the light screen of the mountain-protecting formation.
The booming sound coming from the direction of the Xuantian Sect's mountain gate was like a thunderclap, making everyone's eardrums ache. Fu Shaoping looked up and saw a huge crack appear on the light screen of the mountain-protecting formation, like a wound torn open by a giant beast, with pitch-black demonic energy pouring out of the crack continuously.

"Not good!" Nangong Xuan's expression changed drastically. "The mountain-protecting formation has been breached!"

Nangong Wan gripped the Purple Lightning Sword tightly: "Who has such great ability to break through Master's protective mountain formation?"

Fu Shaoping held the Azure Frost Sword horizontally in front of his chest, feeling the restlessness of the sword spirit within him: "This power isn't from ordinary demonic cultivators." He suddenly remembered something and pulled out the tattered ancient book from his robes. "The book records that the Blood Fiend Sect possesses a forbidden technique called the 'Blood Sacrifice Array,' which can temporarily borrow the power of the demon realm!"

Nangong Xuan's expression turned solemn: "No wonder...no wonder the Blood Shadow Demon Lord dared to venture forth alone." He abruptly waved his whisk, "Everyone, follow me back to the mountain gate! Shaoping, you take the secret manual and go first; I'll hold them off!" "Master!" Fu Shaoping grabbed Nangong Xuan's sleeve, "I'll go with you! The Azure Frost Sword has already resonated with the Heavenly Profound Sword; we can work together!"

Before the words were finished, a shrill scream suddenly came from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several Xuan Tian Sect disciples flying in from the direction of the mountain gate. Each of them had shocking wounds on their bodies, and the blood that fell to the ground turned into a strange black mist!

"Form the formation!" Nangong Xuan shouted sharply, his whisk transforming into countless golden threads, instantly forming a golden barrier in front of everyone. However, the injured disciples seemed to be controlled by something, recklessly rushing towards the barrier!
"It's the bloodthirsty demonic energy that has corrupted their minds!" Nangong Wan drew his Purple Lightning Sword, its light flashing like lightning, forcing back the disciples who were rushing towards him. However, even more disciples surged in from the direction of the mountain gate, their eyes bloodshot, emitting inhuman roars, clearly having become puppets who only knew how to kill!
Fu Shaoping felt the Azure Frost Sword tremble violently, as if it were resonating with something. He closed his eyes and probed along the power of the sword soul with his divine sense. A scene appeared in his mind: at the mountain gate, a figure dressed in black robes was standing on the Heavenly Profound Sword Tomb, holding a blood-dripping demonic sword in his hand, the tip of which pointed at the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate.
"Master!" Fu Shaoping suddenly opened his eyes. "I saw it! He's on the Sword Tomb at the mountain gate, using the Heavenly Profound Sword to perform some kind of forbidden technique!"

Nangong Xuan's expression changed drastically: "Not good! He's going to use the Heavenly Profound Sword to activate the Blood Sacrifice Array!" He grabbed Fu Shaoping and Nangong Wan's hands, "Quick, let's go!"

The three of them flew straight to the mountain gate on their swords. Along the way, more and more disciples were corrupted by demonic energy, and the entire Xuan Tian Sect seemed to have fallen into hell. When they arrived at the mountain gate, the scene before them was suffocating—

The Heavenly Profound Sword Tomb was forcibly opened, and the Heavenly Profound Sword floated in mid-air, its blade shrouded in a strange, blood-red light. A tall figure clad in black robes stood atop the sword tomb, holding a blood-dripping demonic sword—it was none other than the Blood Shadow Demon Lord! Behind him, dozens of Xuan Tian Sect disciples, entangled in demonic energy, stood like puppets at the array's nodes, each with a blood-red bone spur piercing their chest!
"It's finally here." The Blood Shadow Demon Lord laughed wildly, his voice seemingly carrying the wails of countless dead souls. "Today, the Xuan Tian Sect will be utterly wiped out!"

Nangong Xuan waved his whisk: "Blood Fiend Old Demon, you won't succeed!" He quickly formed a hand seal, "Mysterious Heaven Mountain Protector Array, activate!"

However, the expected golden light did not appear. Instead, the light barrier of the mountain-protecting formation trembled violently, and the cracks widened. The Blood Shadow Demon Lord grinned maliciously, "It's useless. Your mountain-protecting formation has already been corrupted by my Blood Sacrifice Formation. Now, let it collapse completely!"

He suddenly raised the demonic sword and thrust it towards the Heavenly Profound Sword! Just as the demonic sword was about to touch the Heavenly Profound Sword, a beam of azure sword light suddenly shot from afar, severing the demonic sword in two!

"Qiang!"

Amidst the clang of metal on metal, the demonic sword shattered in two, while the Heavenly Profound Sword emitted a clear, resonant cry, its blade gleaming brightly. Fu Shaoping, wielding the Azure Frost Sword, flew in from afar: "Master, I've come to help you!"

At the same time, Nangong Xuan attacked, his whisk transforming into countless golden threads that surrounded the Blood Shadow Demon Lord. Nangong Wan, meanwhile, swiftly charged towards the controlled disciples, his purple lightning sword flashing like lightning, severing the blood-red bone spikes on their bodies one by one.

The Blood Shadow Demon Lord, bound by golden threads, laughed maniacally: "You think this can stop me? How naive!" He suddenly ripped open his robes, revealing a pulsating crimson heart. "As long as I live, the Blood Sacrifice Array will not stop!"

Fu Shaoping felt the Azure Frost Sword tremble violently, as if it were resonating with something. He closed his eyes, and his divine sense followed the power of the sword spirit to probe, and a scene appeared in his mind: deep within the Sword Tomb, a golden light was flashing.
"Master, there's something beneath the Sword Tomb!" Fu Shaoping suddenly shouted.

Nangong Xuan understood and quickly formed a hand seal: "Mysterious Heaven Sword Tomb, open!"

With a thunderous roar, the stone gate of the Sword Tomb slowly opened, and a powerful surge of sword energy poured out. Fu Shaoping, Qing Shuang Sword in hand, charged in without hesitation. Deep within the Sword Tomb, an ancient sword, entirely golden, floated silently on a stone platform, its blade covered in mysterious runes—the very true form of the long-lost "Tianxuan Sword" of the Xuantian Sect!
"The Heavenly Profound Sword!" Fu Shaoping was overjoyed and was about to step forward to take the sword when suddenly a blood-red figure darted out from the shadows. It was another Blood Shadow Demon Lord!
"Hand over the sword!" The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord lunged forward with a sinister grin.

Fu Shaoping was prepared, and blocked with his Azure Frost Sword in front of his chest: "Child's play!" The Azure Frost Sword clashed with the fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord's demonic sword, bursting into dazzling sparks. However, the fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord's strength far exceeded expectations, and after a few moves, Fu Shaoping was at a disadvantage.

At the critical moment, the Heavenly Profound Sword suddenly emitted a clear and melodious cry, and a golden light shot out from the stone platform, directly entering Fu Shaoping's body! Fu Shaoping felt a surge of immense power flow into his meridians, and the sword soul power within his body instantly surged!

"This is... the Heavenly Profound Sword has recognized its master?" Fu Shaoping was overjoyed. The Azure Frost Sword in his hand resonated with the Heavenly Profound Sword, and the two swords simultaneously emitted a clear and melodious sound.

The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord was shocked: "Impossible! How could the Heavenly Profound Sword recognize a master as yours, kid!"

Fu Shaoping did not answer, but instead raised the Heavenly Profound Sword high: "Profound Yang Sword Technique - Heaven and Earth Live Together!"

The Heavenly Profound Sword and the Azure Frost Sword simultaneously emitted dazzling light, and two sword energies, like rainbows, went straight for the fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord! The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord hastily parried, but was struck by the two sword energies at the same time, and his whole body fell like a broken doll!

"No!!!" The fake Blood Shadow Demon Lord let out a shrill scream as his body exploded in mid-air, turning into countless black fragments.

At the same time, the Blood Shadow Demon Lord outside the mountain gate let out a roar of unwilling anger: "No! I am not reconciled!" His body began to wither rapidly, eventually turning into a dried corpse and falling from mid-air.

With the fall of the two Blood Shadow Demon Lords, the demonic energy shrouding the Xuan Tian Sect quickly dissipated. The protective array's light barrier stabilized again, and the controlled disciples gradually regained their senses.

Nangong Xuan walked to Fu Shaoping's side, looking at him with satisfaction: "Shaoping, you did it."

Fu Shaoping raised the Heavenly Profound Sword and the Azure Frost Sword simultaneously: "It's all thanks to Master and Wanmei, and also the Heavenly Profound Sword's recognition."

Nangong Xuan shook his head: "This is what you deserve." He looked into the distance, "However, this isn't over yet."

Before the words were finished, a violent tremor suddenly came from afar. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beam of blood-red light rising into the sky from the direction of Qingya Mountain, with a huge blood-red rune vaguely visible floating in the air. (End of Chapter)
