Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 426 The Winding Path to Peach Blossom Spring
When Xuefeng and Qingguang saw that the battle was over and flew back, they saw Xuanyue and Tiedan bidding farewell and retreating in defeat, spitting blood all the way. They were all extremely shocked.

After all, these two had been in the martial world for hundreds of years. How could they not sense the great transformation of Xuan Yue Shenjun's Dao body and the spiritual pressure of his Dao power, which started from three thousand years ago? Even though they were far away, they were still shocked by the earth-shattering Dao power fluctuations, the chaotic Dao fists, and the earth-shattering Qi waves and sonic booms, and they trembled with fear.

The two originally thought that with the power of the Xuan Tian Sect Leader, he had already exhausted his sword power and that this battle would not be easy to win. But who would have thought that he would fly back to take a look?

Huh? This dignified head of the Xuanmen sect, the Nascent Soul Elder, has been beaten until he's bleeding from all seven orifices, his face is unrecognizable, he's been beaten beyond recognition, even his own mother probably wouldn't recognize him! Isn't that a bit too outrageous! But to be fair, our sect leader's attack was a bit ruthless, showing absolutely no respect for the elderly…

"Quack! Congratulations to the Sect Leader on your resounding victory! Your divine skills are unparalleled! Your Dao power is peerless! Your sword roars across the clouds! The nine peaks tremble! I ask you, who in the world can rival us! My Beichen Sword Sect is invincible!"

Xuefeng slid down and knelt down, landing at Tiedan's feet and singing.

Qingguang was also caught off guard, never expecting the bird to move so quickly and smoothly. He didn't even have time to think of a word, so he quickly followed suit.
"That's right, that's exactly what I was thinking too!"

Tie Dan seemed oblivious to their praises, lost in thought. He did some mental calculations, then suddenly looked towards the blue light.

Are you still a virgin?

Caught off guard by such a direct and brutal attack, Qingguang was utterly shocked, clutching his chest and managing to say something.
"Pfft... I've been learning on my own all along, afraid of making any mistakes and missing out on a great opportunity for immortality. I dare not easily discard my Yang Essence. Although I have now obtained the Nascent Soul, I am indeed cultivating alone. My resources are meager; I have no Dharma companions, wealth, or land. So..."

So Tie Dan nodded.
“That’s perfect. I’ve calculated that there’s a pair of lovebirds in the jujube grove on the western outskirts of Qianyang City. Only those children who haven’t lost their primordial yang energy and haven’t yet formed a marriage alliance can see them. You two, one a child and the other a member of the Feather Clan, might be able to help me.”

Yukikaze's eyes lit up.
"I wondered what kind of spirit bird it was, but it turns out to be a pair of lovebirds. Sect Leader, you can rest assured. I saw people raising that duck at Crane Pavilion. You can leave it to us. You can rest assured."

Qingguang naturally dared not refuse, but out of curiosity, he blurted out,

"By the decree... uh, I heard that the sect leader honed his sword for three years and achieved the Nascent Soul stage, a feat unparalleled throughout history. How come... he's not a virgin?"

Iron Egg said,
"Oh, the method I cultivate is special. It involves forging the Yang essence and the sword embryo into one. Moreover, I have practiced dual cultivation many times and had some fleeting encounters. I am probably destined to never be a true couple."

This sword energy was truly astonishing, directly injuring Qing Guang so much that he coughed up blood and was almost unable to recover.

However, Xuefeng was a thousand-year-old demon, a sensible and perceptive person. She immediately guessed that it was the two idle people who were standing there, and that it was inconvenient for the sect leader to take a few more sips of dew and arrange more marriages. So she immediately jumped up, stood at attention, and bowed.

"Please rest assured, Sect Leader! This disciple will immediately depart for Qianyang City to capture the Lovebirds alive and bring them into your ranks! Gougua—!"

So Xuefeng immediately grabbed Qingguang, and with a gust of wind, it soared into the sky. In an instant, the crane's shadow disappeared into the horizon and headed straight for Qianzhou.

Seeing this, Tie Dan flicked his sleeve and released Ci Yun.

Nahe's guess was correct; he did indeed deliberately send the two away, but not to cultivate together, but to help them heal.

"This is the sacred medicine for healing injuries from the inner sect of Tianfu Mountain, the Nine Flavors Returning to Truth and Rejuvenating Ointment. It uses Panax notoginseng to stop bleeding, safflower to regulate menstruation, myrrh to heal injuries, chuanxiong to promote qi circulation, borneol to relieve pain, coptis to detoxify, phellodendron to heal sores, angelica to drain pus, and frankincense to promote tissue regeneration."

"Bringing the dead back to life and healing bones is probably not an option, but as long as a person is still breathing, injuries, fractures, and broken flesh can be fully restored. What do you think?"

When Ciyun opened her eyes, she found herself by a stream in the forest. Her seals had been removed, her restraints broken, and her Taoist robes removed. She was lying flat, her lower body covered with a kind of viscous, white, transparent ointment. Her feet were held in Tiedan's arms, who was applying oil and medicine to them, dissolving the Taoist energy and medicinal power. The energy surged from the soles of her feet through the first 12 points, Taichong, and Kunlun, all the way up to Taixi, Sanyinjiao, Chengshan, Yanglingquan, and Zusanli. He lifted, pinched, pressed, pulled, rubbed, massaged, and played with her repeatedly.

In an instant, a mix of sensations—tingling, itching, tingling, numbness, numbing pain, shame, sorrow, and joy—surged into Ciyun's heart like waves, causing her scalp to tingle and her bones to feel numb. She felt an intense, almost unbearable, stimulation that made her lose control. With a cry of pain, she collapsed, arched her back, and stood up, her body twitching and convulsing like a white fish being caught on the shore.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the medicine? Where does it hurt or itch?"

Tie Dan was also taken aback. He thought this medicine was specially prepared for the Grand Princess by the Xuan Yue Sect Leader before his departure, who said that if she used it too much over sixty years, she wouldn't be human when she returned. So it shouldn't be poisonous. He was just being cautious and had someone test it on him first. Why was the reaction so strong?
He immediately pulled Ciyun into his arms to calm her down and carefully examined her pulse.

Ciyun had no strength left to resist. For many years, she had been living a life of quiet meditation and vegetarianism. Suddenly, such a fierce man broke into her arms and held her close. When she opened her eyes, she saw strong, well-defined pectoral muscles and a pair of slender, warm hands reaching towards her waist, abdomen, and heart, pouring hot and domineering Qi into her lungs and meridians, filling her whole body with a warm current.

Ciyun trembled violently once again, her body convulsing from the electric shock, her bones feeling like they were melting into soup. It was truly an itch that was everywhere, and she couldn't speak for a moment. With great difficulty, she managed to utter a trembling "Mmm~".

"That's strange, it doesn't make sense..."

Tie Dan naturally didn't notice anything wrong, because there really wasn't anything serious. At most, he would have a flushed face, a racing heart, and be sweating profusely. It was probably just that the medicine contained ingredients that promoted blood circulation.

To be fair, the medicine was indeed quite effective. Previously, this woman had been slapped so hard that her lower body was paralyzed and her feet were cracked, leaving her crawling on the ground like a dog with a broken spine.

After applying the ointment, it acted like glue, healing the skin and broken bones at a visible speed. It didn't even require Tie Dan to manually correct and reposition the wound. It was as if there was something 'living' in the medicine that could automatically correct and treat the wound, restoring it to its original state.

Could this medicine also be from the Heavenly Demon...?

In short, the mission of healing and testing medicine was accomplished, and this woman was no longer of use. Tie Dan's face immediately turned cold again, and he said coldly,

"Don't try to act all high and mighty with me. I'm sparing your life only so you can ascend to the heavens and guide the celestial demons. Whether you like it or not is not up to you."

"Oh oh oh!"

Upon being so forcefully declared as her own, Ciyun trembled violently, her body shaking uncontrollably, beads of sweat dripping down her face. Overwhelmed by passion and with no one around, she abandoned all pretense, her eyes gleaming with seductive allure as she pleaded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, this servant is willing. Please punish me, Master."

However, Tie Dan was extremely suspicious. After all, most people he had met since childhood wanted him dead. How could a mere pretty skeleton feigning pitifulness be able to seduce and deceive him? He now felt even more that this person was arrogant at first and obsequious at second, one moment wanting to die and the next wanting to surrender. She was extremely cunning and treacherous. No wonder she was called the Free and Unfettered Witch; she was unfathomable. He suddenly stood up and first created a safe distance to guard against a sudden attack from her.
"Let me make this clear from the start: although I have healed your external injuries, the Xuanming Xuanji Ice Qi that I previously injected into your body has been sharpened into a sword and is now hanging three inches below your navel. With a mere thought, it is enough to rip open your abdomen, rupture your orifices, and kill you. I advise you not to play any tricks and seek your own death."

Ciyun never expected this guy to be so cunning, and she was also provoked into a state of unquenchable resentment, her face full of grievance.
"Master, you may bring in whatever you want, I will accept it."

Tie Dan snorted coldly.

"Stop with your sarcastic remarks. Don't think I don't know you're close to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator and are deliberately hiding your cultivation level, planning to ambush me later!"

Ci Yun was truly speechless. She thought, "Given this situation, what else do you want to do?" So, she decided to go all out, puffed out her chest, and challenged him.
"This humble servant has already voluntarily acknowledged you as her master, what more do you want? Since you distrust me so much, why not tattoo me with a mark and add a restriction? Train me until you are at ease?"

Tie Dan frowned and thought for a moment.
"That's true. When training a dog, you can't just beat and kick it all the time. You have to throw it a few bones every now and then..."

Ciyun was greatly alarmed and felt uneasy.
"You, you actually intend to train me like a dog... This, this is somewhat... though it's not entirely unacceptable..."

Tie Dan glared at her.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I was just using an analogy. And stop calling me 'slave' and 'slave.' I hate hearing people call me 'slave' or 'master' in front of me."

Ci Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but also seemed a little disappointed...

Tie Dan twisted his hand and took out the Cloud-Riding Jade Cicada.

"Here's what we'll do: if you help me accomplish this, I will grant you and your disciple a chance to reincarnate once."

"If you wish to join my Nine Yin Sword Sect, I will grant you special permission to be accepted as a disciple and to protect you for three generations. What do you say?"

Ciyun was stunned. She naturally knew that people in the Xuanmen sect were most wary of karma, and such promises were not easily made. For a moment, she dared not believe it.
"You, you're willing to take us into the mountain? You really don't care that we're from the Free and Unfettered Demonic Path?" "Of course, you'll have to have real skills first. My Nine Yin Mountain doesn't want trash."

Tie Dan snorted coldly.

"Besides, what is there to right and wrong, good and evil in this world? It's all about the victor taking all and the vanquished taking all. If you win, you're on the right path; if you lose, you're on the wrong path."

If the path of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) is blocked, but the demonic path can find another way, then what harm is there in me joining the demonic path?

Ultimately, swords are neither good nor evil; they are simply tools for killing. Whom one kills depends entirely on the human heart.

As long as one's conscience is clear before Heaven and Earth, there is no one in the world who is beyond killing.

Ciyun was stunned for a moment. She really hadn't expected that after taking off her clothes, she would hear such a profound truth. She was completely convinced and sat down in worship.
"I, no, I have learned a lot."

Tie Dan nodded and accepted her bow.

Then Ciyun raised her head, eager to try.
"Then let's begin, Sect Leader."

Tie Dan's face fell.
“I already told you I would heal you. Who would want to engage in spiritual cultivation with you in this desolate wilderness? What if your body is usurped by wandering ghosts?”

Ciyun gazed at the clear spring, captivated by the beautiful scenery, yet remained puzzled for a moment.
"It's really just about healing?"

Tie Dan realized he'd almost forgotten the important matter, and with a flick of his sleeve, another person rolled out.

"Could you help her wash?"

Ciyun looked and saw that the Grand Princess was still asleep, but she seemed to be having a sweet dream. She seemed to have sweated a lot and had a smell. No wonder Tiedan threw her out of his sleeve with a look of disgust.

Ciyun was also curious for a moment.
"The sect leader wants to take her under his wing?"

Tie Dan turned to look at Ci Yun.

"Many people in this world are extraordinary in talent. Those who can cultivate and refine Qi are all geniuses with the potential to become Dao.

However, once possessed by a demon, they are beaten to a pulp, their minds extinguished, and they are reduced to uncontrollable, monstrous, and insane monsters.

But these members of the royal family and imperial relatives are favored by destiny and protected by Heaven; even when possessed by demonic entities, they seem able to maintain their sanity. Could it be that kings and generals are truly born with a special destiny?

Therefore, I suspect that their race has an extremely special physical structure, serving as a vessel for demons to possess. If we can uncover its secrets, we might be able to understand the principles behind demonic possession.

Only by knowing its life can one know its death.

"Life and death are in my hands; I can then vanquish all the demons from beyond the heavens."

Only then did Ciyun begin to truly believe it.

Although they were staring at each other intently, the Sword Sect leader truly had no eyes for him, nor any other thoughts.

What about beautiful women and skulls, what about the distinction between the mysterious and the demonic, what about the difference between good and evil, what about the difference between men and women, what about the thought of life and death?

None of them. They're irrelevant.

There is only sword, only killing, only the Way.

If there's no road, forge one.

If there is no road, then carve one out to travel on.

If there is no sky, then cut down a piece of sky to be reborn.

Move forward courageously and be invincible.

But as long as you don't block his way, as long as you follow behind him, he will protect you.

No matter the storms, the grudges and affections, even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, even if the sky falls, he will hold it up with one hand.

That's the kind of man I'm talking about; that's what a real man is.

Ciyun softened, her body and heart softened, her eyes shimmering like water, a warm, gentle current melting in her throat.

“Lord Xuantian, I created a method while I was meditating in the temple. Even without dual cultivation, one can still follow my path.”

Upon hearing that there was another way to go, Tie Dan became interested.
"Oh, let me see."

Then Ciyun smiled and helped the unconscious Grand Princess up, cradling her in her arms. She manipulated her like a mortician, her waist swaying and twisting like a vine, coiling like a white water python, before slowly tilting down and immersing herself in the stream.

After seeing this opening, Tie Dan knew what tricks she was up to again. However, considering that he would have to fight Xiaoyao Dao sooner or later, it wouldn't hurt to observe in advance, to understand the ins and outs, and to explore the matter in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

So he waved his hand, concealing the secret of heaven.

Then the computer screen went black, and Chen Xuantian's dumbfounded face was reflected on the screen.

"No, isn't he going too far?"

Chen Xuantian remained expressionless, turning his head to ask the large black eagle beside him, which had swelled up to almost the size of a human.

The eagle patted him on the shoulder, indicating that it was all in the way of Heaven.

Since the eagle had said so, Chen Xuantian could only sigh, give the middle finger to the reflection on the screen, and stand up to peel off the skin.

"Damn it... He always gets to enjoy himself while we're kicked out to work. Is there no justice in this world? Where are we supposed to go to have fun now?"

So the eagle kicked open the dormitory door, flapped its wings, and leaped into the void.

Hurry up and help him destroy the Heavenly Demon.
