The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 448 Only those who pay will be rewarded

After leaving Jin'ao Island, Li Jingxiao followed behind Fairy Caiyun, Qiongxiao, and Shiji, intending to fly to Caiyun Cave on Penglai Island.

Moreover, many disciples of the Jie Sect also built cave dwellings on Penglai Immortal Island.

There was no shortage of people traveling with us.

Naturally, there's no need to worry about safety issues.

In the East China Sea, the Jie Sect is undoubtedly the most powerful force.

No one dared to lay a finger on the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Moreover, they hadn't flown very far when two female immortals and a middle-aged male immortal caught up with them.

After some introductions, I learned that the three were Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming, a brother and sister.

The Three Immortal Islands are also in the East China Sea, and there is a stretch of the same route between them.

Li Jingxiao could tell at a glance that Qiongxiao definitely hadn't told her eldest and second eldest sisters about her trip to Caiyun Cave.

Just as I was feeling a bit disappointed, I realized that what they wanted to do with Qiongxiao was not so simple.

However, Yunxiao and Bixiao are indeed both very beautiful.

As for Zhao Gongming, Li Jingxiao had little interest in him.

However, if given the opportunity to fight, one could deduce from Zhao Gongming's strength what level one's own strength belongs to in the Investiture of the Gods.

Zhao Gongming was a true Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and he alone suppressed Lu Ya, the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect, Randeng Daoren, and several other Chan Sect Golden Immortals, making them unable to raise their heads.

In the end, Lu Ya resorted to underhanded tactics, using the "Seven Arrows of Nailhead".

That's how Zhao Gongming was tricked to death.

It was only after Zhao Gongming died that the Three Immortals left the island to avenge their sworn brother.

They set up the 'Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation'.

Li Jingxiao thought that Qiongxiao would soon be taken back to Sanxian Island by her eldest sister, second sister, and sworn brother.

Unexpectedly, Yunxiao and the other two only reminded Qiongxiao to be careful and not to cause trouble at Fairy Caiyun's house.

They let Qiongxiao follow Fairy Caiyun.

As for Li Jingxiao and Lady Shiji, Yunxiao and the other two simply asked Li Jingxiao and Lady Shiji to take care of Qiongxiao.

He also invited Li Jingxiao to bring Shiji to visit Sanxian Island when he had time, and then took his leave.

Now it was Li Jingxiao's turn to be at a loss for words.

I wonder if the Yunxiao sisters truly trust Li Jingxiao's character.

He still doesn't care about his younger sister Qiongxiao having contact with other men.

They don't even care about intimate contact.

He exchanged greetings with Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming, and watched the three leave.

Li Jingxiao was somewhat confused, but he continued to fly to Penglai Island with the three women who were huddled together, chatting idly.

Along the way, Fairy Caiyun and Qiongxiao talked mostly about Shiji's significant improvement in strength.

Only after hearing this did Li Jingxiao understand.

The world of Investiture of the Gods is actually quite similar to the world of Journey to the West; both are worlds where strength reigns supreme.

Therefore, many disciples of both the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect have become somewhat obsessed with improving their strength.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many unorthodox and heretical martial arts techniques.

However, Qiongxiao and Fairy Caiyun's strength is indeed not very good.

Seeing that Shi Ji was much better than last year, I was naturally very curious.

Shi Ji didn't deliberately hide anything, except for some secrets that couldn't be told.

To put it simply, Li Jingxiao passed on to her the Taoist supernatural powers of "Sword Control Technique" and "Diving into the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth".

Upon arriving at the Rainbow Cloud Cave on Penglai Immortal Island, Fairy Rainbow Cloud, as the hostess, treated Li Jingxiao with great courtesy.

Then, unable to wait any longer, Qiongxiao and Shiji went to the martial arts arena inside the cave.

Please have Shi Ji demonstrate for herself, so we can see just how powerful "Sword Control Technique" and "Diving into the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth" are.

This surprised Li Jingxiao. Logically speaking, both Fairy Caiyun and Qiongxiao were disciples of the Jie Sect.

It's understandable that Fairy Caiyun and Lady Shiji, who weren't favored by the Tongtian Sect Leader, didn't have the opportunity to learn the Thirty-Six Arts of the Heavenly Gang.

However, in the heart of the Tongtian Sect Leader, the Three Immortals were not much different from his personal disciples.

Yunxiao was one of the most elite disciples of the Jie Sect.

Holding the 'Mixed Origin Golden Cauldron', this treasure is no less powerful than the treasures passed down by the four great masters.

It might even be more powerful.

Therefore, in Li Jingxiao's mind, even if Qiongxiao had not learned the Heavenly Gang Divine Power of "Diving into the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth".

There's no reason for them to act like they've never even heard of it.

Fortunately, upon closer reflection, although the world of Investiture of the Gods contains celestial divine powers such as "Golden Light Across the Earth," "Calling the Wind and Rain," "Seven Arrows with Nailheads," "Turning the Earth into Steel," and "Riding the Clouds and Mist," it is not entirely without merit.

But it seems there really isn't a complete system of the 'Thirty-Six Heavenly Arts'.

Even the 'Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques' don't seem to have been fully compiled.

In other words, the Three Pure Ones or other sages, quasi-sages, and other great figures possess countless Taoist magic and supernatural powers.

But they only taught their apprentices whatever they wanted to learn.

Unlike in the Journey to the West world, where Laozi directly gave Li Jingxiao a "Heavenly Book".

He passed on the complete set of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends to Li Jingxiao.

Many disciples of the Jie Sect didn't even have the chance to learn the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Divine Powers.

Even the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect and the Four Direct Disciples of the Jie Sect might only know a few or a dozen of them.

That's why a disciple like Qiongxiao, with such low cultivation level, had never even heard of "Diving into the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth".

The stone cliff was ten miles wide with each step, immediately attracting the interest of Fairy Caiyun and Qiongxiao.

Six hundred miles per minute, 3.6 miles per hour.

Actually, it's already considered a very fast speed technique.

As for the sword control technique, although the two women were curious, they didn't think it was particularly impressive.

Indeed, the sword control technique has many similarities to some of the sword techniques taught by Tongtian.

But when the immortal sword in Shi Ji's hand split into two, then into four, and finally into hundreds and thousands of flying swords.

This is what piqued the interest of the two women.

Although Shi Ji was willing to teach her two best friends these two Taoist techniques, she still needed to obtain Li Jingxiao's approval.

Li Jingxiao naturally didn't care, since "Diving into the Abyss and Shrinking the Earth" was already an obsolete technique for him.

Even if it's a step that covers ten thousand miles, it's still far inferior to lightning escape and "A Bright Future".

The Art of Sword Control is not so easy to master to the highest level.

Not to mention, the "Sword Control Technique" that Li Jingxiao passed on to Shi Ji was only the Shu Mountain version.

Having ascended to the Journey to the West world and upgraded his "Sword Control Technique" to the Immortal rank, he had no intention of spreading it.

In terms of power, the two versions differ greatly.

Even the Shushan version of "Sword Control Technique" can produce thousands, or even several thousand, flying swords.

It does look quite intimidating.

Moreover, the more powerful the immortal sword in one's hand, the greater the power of the sword control technique.

Although Shi Ji had only studied for a little over three months, she was still a Golden Immortal and a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master, so her swordsmanship was actually quite advanced.

Of course, in Li Jingxiao's eyes, it was nothing special.

Shi Ji conjured up thousands of flying swords, intending to show them off to her two best friends.

In Li Jingxiao's eyes, if these flying swords were to hit him, they wouldn't even be able to break through his physical defenses.

Not to mention, it broke through Taiyi Wuyanluo's defenses.

But in the eyes of Fairy Caiyun and Qiongxiao, this technique was not only cool, but also much more powerful than the swordsmanship they knew.
