Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 296 Red Sky Sword

The enormous, mountain-like ice dragon slept silently, surrounded by a deep and tranquil atmosphere.

Only the invisible source force flowed slowly like a vortex, causing the 52 acupoints in Gao Wu's body to breathe and circulate along with it.

At this moment, Gao Wu was thinking about Qin Jiuyue and Qin Liuhe's words, but his body was still instinctively circulating its source power in the most efficient and natural way, and was subtly synchronized with the state of the Ice Dragon's source power.

Gao Wu was completely unaware of this, but Qin Liuhe saw it very clearly. Gao Wu did indeed have talent in the Nine Dragons Limitless Path, but that talent was still somewhat lacking.

Going back ten years wouldn't really be a problem. A slight difference in talent can be made up for through hard work.

The key is that Gao Wu awakened his spiritual god, which is a talent ability sufficient to advance to level ten.

However, Gao Wu was ultimately too young; there were some principles he didn't understand, and some things he couldn't do well. Otherwise, Qin Liuhe wouldn't have said so much to Gao Wu.

After thinking for a while, Gao Wu finally made up his mind: "This disciple is foolish, but I am willing to follow my master to accomplish great things."

Regardless of whether Qin Liuhe had ulterior motives, Gao Wu was willing to believe him based solely on his resolute resistance against the demon god. Moreover, this grandmaster's vision and insight far surpassed those of everyone else.

Only by following his master could he find the path to victory. Unless he found another path to victory. Until then, he had to closely follow his master and cooperate fully.

Qin Liuhe said, "Don't tell Wuji about this, it will bother him a lot. Just pretend nothing's wrong."

He borrowed his son's body, but his soul and aura were completely different. Especially since he wanted to control the Jade Seal of Destiny.

He could fool others, but he couldn't fool Hai Wuji, who had been learning his skills from him for decades. If Gao Wu were to be so naive as to expose the truth, he would only leave the feigning Hai Wuji feeling utterly humiliated.

Qin Liuhe said to Gao Wu, "To kill the Ice Dragon, you must use your spirit to control the divine weapon that pierces through the Ice Dragon's soul, or what you might call the divine sword."

"Although this sword has no name, calling it Crimson Sky is quite fitting. It also matches the power of your spirit wielding crimson flames."

"The Crimson Sky Sword is no less powerful than the Jade Seal of Destiny. If you can wield this sword, we will have a better chance of winning."

He didn't mention Chixiao before because he hoped Gao Wu would see the sword himself.

The main purpose of slaying the White Dragon was to obtain the Crimson Sky Sword. Only this sword could defeat the Golden Man and the Nine Cauldrons.

Such a powerful divine object cannot be subdued by force alone. Even he could not lift this divine sword.

Others are even less likely to succeed. Only a spirit that is in harmony with the divine sword has the chance to control it.

Of course, the risks involved are enormous. If things go wrong, Gao Wu's spirit could be reduced to ashes by the Crimson Sky Sword's energy.

"Chixiao?"

Although Gao Wu was just a college student who had never attended university, he still knew some historical allusions.

Legend has it that Emperor Gaozu of Han killed a white snake with his sword, which made him famous and led to his great achievements.

The sword that slew the snake was called Chixiao, and there are certainly many far-fetched stories behind it. Rather than a legend, it was more likely Liu Bang's boasting to promote himself.

Qin Liuhe also said that this sword could be called Chixiao, which means that the sword does not have a real name.

So it's called Chixiao, probably to correspond to the White Snake!

"Could I be the Great Ancestor?" Gao Wu thought to himself, glancing at Qin Liuhe. This was not a good omen.

After all, it was Emperor Gaozu of Han who entered Xianyang and established the Han Dynasty, replacing the Qin Dynasty and becoming a unified imperial dynasty.

He didn't know if Qin Liuhe was just saying it casually or deliberately making a joke. His grandmaster didn't seem like someone who liked to joke around.

Qin Liuhe, unaware of Gao Wu's wild thoughts, briefly explained the situation of the Crimson Sky Sword.

"This sword was forged by some dimensional god or demon, and it is not even a sword in the traditional sense; it is merely a sharp, incomparably red light."

"Completely frozen by the Ice Dragon's divine soul power. If you can unleash the crimson light of the Crimson Sky Sword and break the Ice Dragon's icy domain, the Crimson Sky Sword's own power will be enough to kill the Ice Dragon."

"Although the Ice Dragon's spiritual power is strong, it cannot reach the level of a spiritual god. The only concern is that the power of the Crimson Sky Sword is too great. If your spiritual god cannot control this sword, you will be backfired by the blazing sword energy."

"At that time, not only will your spirit perish, but your body will also turn to ashes."

Gao Wu fell silent. This was not something that could be accomplished by mere boasting; the risks were enormous, and the margin for error was extremely low.

It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but rather that at his current Yin God level, he feared it would be difficult to wield the Crimson Sky Sword.

He couldn't even sense the Crimson Sky Sword, so how could he control it!
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Grandmaster, how about you bestow another divine conferment upon me?"

Qin Liuhe looked at Gao Wu and said calmly, "It's not difficult to confer a spiritual god title. However, if the spiritual god is too powerful, your body will not be able to contain it."

"This will cause the separation of body and spirit. Although your spirit is strong, it cannot exist independently without the nourishment of the physical body. The spirit cannot return to the sea of ​​consciousness deep in the center of the forehead, and within a few days, the spirit will disintegrate."

“The spirit is also a manifestation of your mental consciousness. When the spirit collapses, your consciousness will also perish. Even if the physical body does not die, you are just a living dead.”

Qin Liuhe didn't mind bestowing an imperial title upon Gao Wu; the alliance had been established for a century, and the accumulated humanitarian power was immense.

It wouldn't be a problem to bestow titles upon Gao Wu a few more times. The key issue is that Gao Wu simply cannot withstand such immense power.

Can an imbalance between the physical and mental states lead to the collapse of consciousness?
Gao Wu was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected this to happen.

Recalling the cases of the various divine incantations, it is true that the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation was always the first to be upgraded, and no other divine incantation has ever surpassed the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation.

Moreover, no matter how other divine incantations are used to enhance it, the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation is the upper limit.

Therefore, it is very likely that the situation Qin Liuhe described will occur.

However, Gao Wu was also pleasantly surprised. His master meant that as long as he was not afraid of death, he could be granted the title of Yin God at any time.

If you could raise the Vermilion Bird Divine Light Mantra to another level, killing a seventh-level Martial King wouldn't be difficult. Qin Liuhe added, "The Spirit God is profound. Even if you were to be granted a title, it would have to wait until you master the Crimson Sky Sword. At that time, raising your Spirit God would help you fuse with the divine sword. Even if it's risky, now is not the time."

Gao Wu nodded, "My master is right."

The Yin Spirit's upgrade allows it to refine external objects, and it was precisely because of this special change that he was able to refine the Heavenly Fate Sword.

He glanced at the Book of Immeasurable Merit, which already contained 980 million merits.

The video of killing Ars brought him 300 million merits, especially in the first ten days, when his merits increased dramatically every day.

At this point, the daily natural increase in merit is only around 100,000 to 200,000. At this rate, it would take at least two or three months, perhaps longer, to accumulate one billion merits.

Posting more videos in a short period of time will hardly generate much merit, because the public's enthusiasm has already been exhausted once.

Unless there is something earth-shattering, it is difficult to trigger such a massive surge of merit.

The only shortcut to accumulating merit is to slay the cultists. With good luck, killing just one high priest can accumulate a billion merits.

First, upgrade the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra to improve your physique. Then, ask Old Qin for help in bestowing the Yin God title; that should allow you to obtain the Crimson Sky Sword.

The little ice dragon is easy to catch.

Gao Wu thought for a moment and said, "My cultivation is not high enough. I should go out and train with the experts of the Demonic Sect. That should help me improve."

Qin Liuhe glanced at Gao Wu, wondering why he was going out to train at this time.

Judging from Gao Wu's serious expression, this kid was clearly very confident that he could improve himself through training.

"Can killing demon cultists gain power from it?" Qin Liuhe recalled Gao Wu's growth experience. There was some overlap between the other party's growth trajectory and killing demon cultists, but the overlap was not high.

On the contrary, the greater a martial artist's online fame, the stronger they are. There is a positive correlation between the two, although it is very subtle.

Judging from Gao Wu's spiritual power, he may have some ability to transform the source of human power.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the existence of spirits and deities.

Why do demons need faith? In essence, it's all about the need for the spiritual magnetic field of life.

Whether it's faith or strong emotions, they are essentially the directional release of the spiritual magnetic field of life.

Demons spread their faith through bloodshed and death, which may seem brutal and cruel, but is actually the most efficient way to proselytize.

Fear is the most stable foundation of faith.

If believers do not fear the gods, they will misinterpret the gods' will and seek personal gain.

Therefore, it's quite reasonable for Gao Wu to gain power by slaying the followers of the demon god...

Qin Liuhe considered for a moment and said, "Alright, you go and hone your cultivation first. I also need to make some preparations."

Since the high-level martial spirit cannot sense the Crimson Sky Sword, a solution needs to be found.

Otherwise, none of this can be discussed.

Fortunately, the ice dragon is unlikely to wake up anytime soon, and although the other world is rapidly integrating into the real world, it is not going to collapse quickly.

The only thing to worry about is those barbarians from the Federation...

Qin Liuhe said, "Get ready, I'll take you back."

Gao Wu thought Qin Liuhe was going to take him flying. He felt that the mechanical warhorse was not slow. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Qin Liuhe flip his hand and reveal the Jade Seal of Destiny.

Golden patterns shimmered on the Heavenly Mandate Jade Seal, and eight complex and mysterious characters were stamped into the void.

As the large characters shone with golden light, they seemed to transform into a portal of light, behind which a deep, dark spatial passage appeared to be faintly opening.

Qin Liuhe flicked his sleeve and led Gao Wu through the portal. Gao Wu immediately felt the space spinning, and his brain seemed to be turned into tofu dregs by the force of the rapid rotation...

When Gao Wu regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a luxuriously decorated living room. Judging from the style of the room's furnishings, it should be somewhere in Beizhou.

Gao Wu's gaze shifted and landed on Hai Wuji on the sofa. He sat there lazily, his eyes vacant, as if he were in a daze.

"Master?" Gao Wu was a little surprised. Why did he see his teacher as soon as he returned?

Moreover, Grandmaster's ability to traverse space was simply too powerful. It was truly like a miracle.

Hai Wuji slowly focused his gaze on Gao Wu, and he didn't speak, only let out a long sigh.

Gao Wu could hear helplessness and sorrow in the sigh, and he didn't know what to say.

Hai Wuji quickly composed himself and looked at his disciple, asking, "How are you?"

"I'm fine," Gao Wu replied.

"I heard you have a plan?" Hai Wuji asked.

"Yes, I must first wipe out all the demonic sect experts in Beizhou to eliminate future troubles," Gao Wu said solemnly.

Hai Wuji nodded. He didn't ask Gao Wu why he did it; he simply said, "Just do it. There's no need to hold back..."
