In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Otherwise, Zhang Xiaoshan's previous actions would undoubtedly have crossed the line.

Even though this is the realm of spiritual practice, not the secular world.

"Young friend, there's no need to blame yourself. Who could have imagined that this combined sword technique would fail?"

"Since this is a calamity, Heaven should be helping us. But even so, the Purple and Green Swords still cannot be combined. Perhaps this is the will of Heaven."

Qingwei looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and accepted the pills that Zhang Xiaoshan handed over.

Just now, the "mantis trying to stop a chariot" had greatly depleted the energy of both Changmei and the Five Elders of Shu Mountain. They would need to go into seclusion for at least several years to recover their vital energy.

The effects of the Six-Turn Elixir were more than enough to restore their vital energy.

Even though Yizhen and Mingqi, the two Purple and Green Sword Masters who failed to combine their powers, were on the verge of death and seriously injured, their cultivation levels were too low, and the Six-Turn Spirit Pill could still bring them back to life.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Knowing the efficacy of the elixir, Ding Yin and Zen Master Xiaoru quickly thanked Zhang Xiaoshan for his generosity.

However, they did not use it themselves, but instead rushed to send it to the seriously injured young monk and the young man Mingqi, in an attempt to save their fading lives.

The combined sword strike failed, and both were affected by the sword energy. They were not killed instantly, which was also due to their low cultivation level.

"Just some trivial thing."

However, please keep the Yin-Yang supernatural power used by Chunyangzi a secret, seniors.

"Small thing!"

Although they didn't understand why Zhang Xiaoshan was unwilling to reveal the ancient immortal techniques, they had all received favors from him, so naturally they couldn't do something that would harm others and themselves.

After a moment's thought, they understood Zhang Xiaoshan's concerns.

This ancient immortal technique requires two people to perform. Once Princess Liyang is eliminated, this terrifying ancient immortal technique will lose one of its poles.

If the demonic path finds out, then they will eliminate Princess Liyang no matter what.

After understanding the cause and effect, everyone secretly warned themselves not to talk too much.

"Thank you all, seniors. It is inconvenient for Chunyangzi to meet with fellow Daoists. I will take my leave now. See you again on the Ba River another day."

"Fellow Taoist, walk slowly!"

In the calamity of Mount Shu, Zhang Xiaoshan and Princess Liyang were the only two superfluous people.

Therefore, when the experts from the cultivation world who came saw Zhang Xiaoshan here, they would definitely guess that it was Zhang Xiaoshan who destroyed the Blood Demon.

Since Zhang Xiaoshan didn't want to reveal his trump card, the best approach was to not reveal his identity either.

Otherwise, everyone would definitely have been able to find traces of Zhang Xiaoshan's supernatural abilities from the slightest clues.

A streak of light pierced the sky, and everyone watched as Zhang Xiaoshan left the battlefield.

For a moment, Changmei's expression became complicated.

I originally thought that this time we could combine the Purple and Green Swords and lead Emei to great glory.

Unexpectedly, the combined swordsmanship failed, and in the end, it was Zhang Xiaoshan who took action and destroyed the Blood Demon, whom he considered invincible.

Especially with that terrifying method, under the suppression of the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram, the Blood Demon was unknowingly reduced to ashes without leaving a trace.

The power of ancient immortal arts is terrifying!

Even if he could come up with a solution, it would only be to kill the Blood Demon from within by combining the two swords.

Chapter 983 Supernatural Powers and Physical Achievement

"Brother!"

The bloodlust dissipated, and the sword light returned.

Inside the Jade Pool Palace, Mo Lan's graceful and slender figure rushed directly into Zhang Xiaoshan's arms.

This scene caused Princess Liyang to have a complicated expression, but there was no sinister murderous intent in it.

She never treated Zhang Xiaoshan as her own possession; she had long understood that he came from the Dali royal family.

Zhang Xiaoshan's extraordinary talent is like a bright flame, inevitably attracting countless moths that are willing to risk everything.

"Alright, Junior Sister Moran, you're all grown up now, let's go see the Palace Master first!"

This time, their departure from the mountains to annihilate the Blood Demon will surely not escape the notice of Kunlun.

The combined power of the Purple and Green Swords of Mount Shu failed. There are very few, if any, righteous masters in the land of China capable of destroying the Blood Demon.

And the one they knew was Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Chunyangzi (Liyang, Molan) greets the Palace Master and the three senior uncles!"

Inside the Moon Palace, powerful figures gathered.

Meanwhile, on the side of the Yaochi Palace Master, the three big shots of the Kunlun main lineage had been waiting for him for a long time. When they looked at Zhang Xiaoshan who had returned, their eyes were full of sharp light.

"It's really you!"

Bai Xuan had only made a guess, so he came to Yaochi Immortal Palace to verify it.

The time that Zhang Xiaoshan had been missing confirmed his suspicions: the expert who eliminated the Blood Demon must have been Zhang Xiaoshan.

"To be honest, Master Chunyang originally did not intend to get involved in this calamity."

Previously, on the Ba River, Chunyangzi had met two seniors, Ding Yin and Zen Master Xiaoru, as well as the Purple and Green Sword Masters who were facing this tribulation.

However, the combined attack of the Purple and Green Swords failed, for the sake of the people of the land, Chunyangzi had no choice but to intervene.

Bai Xuan nodded upon hearing this.

This is a meritorious act, not a bad thing; on the contrary, one might exclaim:

"The Purple and Green Twin Swords are ancient immortal swords. Legend has it that when the two swords are combined, they have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth."

Unfortunately, despite the Emei Sect's thousand-year history, none of the successive masters of the Purple and Green Swords have achieved perfect fusion of the two swords. Instead, the very act of fusion has resulted in the loss of countless geniuses.

Everyone sighed, for the Purple and Green Twin Swords were ancient immortal swords.

Which cultivator who can obtain the recognition of the Purple and Green Twin Swords as their master is not a person of extraordinary talent?

If it weren't for the fact that Emei has a long-haired beauty, it would have declined long ago.

"By the way, Uncle-Master."

Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly remembered something and copied the deduction results of the Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation onto a jade pendant.

He was a disciple of the Kunlun Taoist sect, not to mention bearing too much karma from Kunlun.

Moreover, this new Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword Formation wouldn't be of much help to him, but for the Kunlun Daoist sect, a top-tier sword formation with power comparable to immortal techniques was the foundation of the sect.

After all, even after a thousand years, it is not certain that a single chosen one will emerge from the ten ancient immortal techniques.

This sword formation is different; it can be practiced by just two disciples from the same lineage.

Moreover, the sword formation, cultivated by two disciples with yin and yang attributes and a shared understanding, is comparable in power to immortal techniques and supernatural abilities, and its cultivation conditions are far more lenient than those of ancient immortal techniques.

Then a Taiji diagram appeared on the jade pendant, which was Zhang Xiaoshan's primordial spirit imprint.

"This is a Hunyuan Sword Formation that Chunyangzi deduced by combining the Yin-Yang Two Forms Sword Formation after feeling the loss of the Purple and Green Twin Swords. Although it does not reach the level of immortal techniques, its power is comparable to ancient immortal techniques, and it does not have the drawbacks of combining the Purple and Green Twin Swords."

Upon receiving the jade pendant that carried the 'inheritance of the Daoist teachings', Bai Xuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise.

Zhang Xiaoshan was able to deduce the top-tier inherited Pure Yang Dao Technique and slay innate gods and demons, so Bai Xuan had no doubt that the Hunyuan Sword Formation was exaggerated.

Having such a top-tier sword formation is equivalent to having a simplified version of the Purple and Green Twin Swords.

"Have a heart."

After putting away the jade pendant, Bai Xuan asked about the Blood Demon's situation before leaving Yaochi Immortal Palace.

In recognition of Zhang Xiaoshan's contributions, Bai Xuan decided to offer Zhang Xiaoshan either the opportunity to cultivate an ancient immortal technique or an ancient immortal weapon.

Bai Xuan had no doubt that Zhang Xiaoshan possessed extraordinary talent and was capable of cultivating ancient immortal techniques.

Before his ascension, the Taoist Xuanxu had consulted Zhang Xiaoshan's background.

Zhang Xiaoshan has cultivated the Yuan Shen Qingyun. Even with the Zhuxian Sword Technique, Zhang Xiaoshan is somewhat confident. It's just unknown whether he has mastered it.

Even though the cultivation conditions for other immortal techniques are harsh, the Kunlun Daoist sect's foundation will not fail those who have made contributions.

After all, Zhang Xiaoshan is a direct descendant of Kunlun and a pillar of the Taoist sect.

The stronger Zhang Xiaoshan becomes, the more advantageous it will be for the righteous Xuanmen sect, making him a pillar of strength.

However, these resources are not given out of thin air; a reason is needed.

Every family has its rules, and every door has its rules.

Unless they spend their own money, these high-level resources require significant merit or a certain level of cultivation to exchange for.

"By accumulating one hundred million merits, I will comprehend immortal techniques and achieve physical sainthood!"

Zhang Xiaoshan has already mastered three of the ancient immortal techniques passed down by the Kunlun Taoist sect.

Among the remaining immortal techniques, Zhang Xiaoshan did not choose to transform into the Three Pure Ones through Qi, but instead achieved 'physical sainthood'.

The path to physical immortality is a method for cultivating an ancient divine body; it is not simply about training the body and breaking through limits. Nor is it about having a body as strong as a demon to cultivate this method and become a god or demon.

Boom!

With a resounding bell shattering the silence, Li Yang, now in a state of yin-yang unity, once again felt the surging of primordial spiritual energy, the eruption of nine-colored mist, and the evolution of the divine essence of the Heavenly Dao…

At the same time, on the Nine Provinces Cauldron, a divine mark shone with brilliant golden light, and a mysterious aura permeated the Purple Mansion.

........ ......... 0

Within the giant bell's space, another set of Heavenly Dao divine patterns, now free of rust, shone with brilliant light, revealing the essence of the divine power imprint.

Even Zhang Xiaoshan's consciousness was immersed in analyzing the supernatural imprint.

This is a divine imprint made by Zhang Xiaoshan, passed down personally from an ancient sage, not a cultivation method annotated by Kunlun.

Combining with the divine patterns of the Heavenly Dao, it gradually transformed into the most direct and profound Heavenly Script seal script.

Both Zhang Xiaoshan and Li Yang were immersed in enlightenment.

The vast and boundless innate spiritual energy helped Li Yang enter the Refinement of Emptiness realm by 10% and Zhang Xiaoshan condense his foundation of supernatural powers by 90%.

Unlike the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Technique, which requires innate killing sword energy to master.

The path to physical sainthood is divided into several levels. The first step is to shed the mortal body and refine the innate body.

This innate body is not an innate Dao body in terms of aptitude.

Rather, it is the innate human body, similar to the immortal body reshaped after ascension.

This foundation, which was originally impossible to build, was aided by the mark of divine power and the abundant innate spiritual energy that formed the foundation. Zhang Xiaoshan, immersed in his enlightenment, had no idea that his body had been annihilated and was being reshaped once again.

Moreover, the reconstructed body is entirely composed of innate spiritual energy.

At the same time, the nine-colored mist that should have been absorbed by the Nine Provinces Cauldron was also integrated into Zhang Xiaoshan's reshaped innate constitution, strengthening his muscles and bones.

After an unknown amount of time, when the two emerged from their enlightenment, they had each gained tremendous benefits.

Chapter 984 The Innate Body, the Profound Yin Demonic Realm

The first stage is the innate body, which is built upon innate spiritual energy, and the body reverses its innate nature.

The second stage, the Divine Demon Body, utilizes the characteristics of an innate body to contain the divine and demonic energy capable of obliterating everything, thus creating a divine and demonic body that transcends heaven and earth and is eternally indestructible.

The third stage, the Sage Body, is built upon the foundation of the Divine and Demonic Body, condensing the laws of Heaven, the merits of all things, and the vast origin... to form a Sage Body that is impervious to all laws and suppresses the ages.

This method of achieving physical sainthood is no less difficult to cultivate than the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Technique.

It is impossible to achieve only the first stage—reshaping one's innate body.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoshan had a cheat device.

During the analysis of the supernatural imprint, the innate body was directly reshaped, completing the first stage of foundation building.

The second stage of the Divine Demon Body, involving innate divine and demonic energy, also provides immense assistance to Zhang Xiaoshan's planned Immortal Slaying Sword Technique.

Why do most Kunlun disciples never return from the Xuan Yin Demon Realm?
