Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"Young man, your killing intent is quite good. It seems you have a special cultivation technique." The woman looked Jiang Shi up and down and said.

She could see that Jiang Shi's killing intent was concentrated and lingering, which was why he said those words.

Jiang Shi became increasingly silent. The other party had discovered his whereabouts, so they definitely weren't here to chat. A fierce battle was sure to follow.

Jiang Shi could feel that the pressure this woman exerted on him was comparable to that of the three great sect leaders of the Canglin region.

They were on par with the powerful Xuanyuan Yi clan of the Western Desert.

This person definitely comes from a top-tier powerful organization.

"You want to take action? That's interesting." The woman became interested in Jiang Shi.

She could tell that Jiang Shi did not come from a powerful family, but his magical power was exceptionally high.

Such powerful magic, even greater than hers.

That's why the woman wanted to try fighting Jiang Shi.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Shi made the first move. A sword pellet jumped out from Jiang Shi's sea of ​​consciousness, transformed into a silver flying sword, and landed in Jiang Shi's hand.

Since a conflict between the two sides seems inevitable, Jiang Shi naturally has nothing to fear.

Inside Jiang Shi's dantian, ten magical crystals exploded, all surging into the silver flying sword.

Instantly, the silver flying sword lit up and began to split into two, then four, then eight, and finally sixteen.

Sixteen sword lights flew out, swirling with flames, and attacked the woman.

"A sword cultivator?!" the woman exclaimed in surprise.

No matter where you are, it is very difficult to become a swordsman.

It represents high combat power.

Sword cultivators need to cultivate their sword heart; the more stable the sword heart, the stronger their combat power.

Both the lower and upper limits are very high.

To this day, sword cultivators are still known as the number one warriors in the cultivation world.

Sixteen sword lights, forming a complex and interconnected array, each one extremely deadly.

If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, they would probably be cut down by Jiang Shi in two rounds.

However, this woman was no ordinary person. A superior-grade magic mirror appeared beside her, its entire surface a platinum color.

As the mirror turned, beams of golden light shot out, colliding with Jiang Shi's sixteen sword lights. Upon impact, the sword lights vanished instantly.

"One is a fire-elemental treasure mirror, and the other is a metal-elemental treasure mirror," Jiang Shi thought to himself.

The methods this person displayed were similar to his. If Jiang Shi was not mistaken, this woman must also be a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator with five spiritual roots.

However, this is not surprising, as cultivators with five spiritual roots are considered to have the worst aptitude only in small sects and minor schools.

Among the core disciples of major sects and top forces, those with the aptitude of five spiritual roots are not uncommon.

A cultivator with all five elements is destined for greatness, and naturally, top-tier forces will specially train them.

"Although you have refined the sword pellet, cultivated the sword light, and condensed the sword heart, you are not a sword cultivator! Your sword heart is impure!" the woman commented after shattering Jiang Shi's sixteen sword lights.

She saw through Jiang Shi's true situation at a glance.

Although Jiang Shi refined the Silver Light Sword Pill, his main practice was not the way of the sword. His current main practice system was the way of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.

The method of mutual generation of the five elements is used to enter the foundation building stage, and the technique of refining the five elements is used to enter the golden elixir stage.

This is the path he should take. If you ask him to calm down and spend his days refining sword pellets and condensing sword intent, he won't do it.

Sword cultivators have to pay a price to unleash their full power.

Just like Lu Yuanfeng of Qingyun Sect, after several defeats, his sword heart became unstable. In the end, his sword heart shattered, and he could not unleash his full sword cultivation. He was killed by Jiang Shi, and his life ended in death.

However, Jiang Shi was aware of his own situation, and since he used the Silver Light Flying Sword, he naturally had a plan.

"Since that's the case, how about this move of mine!" Jiang Shi said, and the silver flying sword in his hand shone brightly once again.

Sixteen sword lights flew out as well.

"Again? Your sword light isn't strong enough, nor is it solid enough. It's impossible to use it against me." The woman stood still, the high-grade magic artifact, the golden mirror, beside her was ready to launch an attack at any moment.

The woman was right. Jiang Shi had only had the Silver Light Flying Sword for a short time, and being able to create sixteen sword lights was already his limit. He could no longer solidify the sword lights.

Furthermore, Jiang Shi had no sword intent whatsoever; a sword without sword intent is nothing more than a piece of scrap iron.

However, Jiang Shi had another method.

Under Jiang Shi's control, the surrounding fiery spiritual energy surged and gathered towards the sixteen sword lights.

The sixteen sword lights shone with a radiance, which was a stream of Geng metal energy.

The surrounding fiery spiritual energy, driven by the Geng metal energy, first transformed into earth-based magic power, and then into metal-based magic power.

"The Qi of Geng Metal? The Five Elements generate each other, fire transforms into earth, and earth transforms into metal? Such a method exists?!" The woman exclaimed in amazement.

The fact that Jiang Shi could achieve this level shows that his Five Elements Techniques and Five Elements Arts cultivation is at a very high level.

Indeed, Jiang Shi's Five Elements and Five Spiritual Techniques have been perfected.

The true meaning of the mutual generation of the five elements has also been fully realized.

Even within major sects, achieving this level of skill at the Foundation Establishment stage is extremely rare.

"Very good! Very good!"

Sixteen strands of Geng metal energy, drawing upon a large amount of metal-based spiritual energy, transformed into a giant sword that slashed towards the woman.

Even without sword intent, this strike was unstoppable.

Jiang Shi used the true meaning of the Five Elements' mutual generation to replace the sword intent and unleashed this sword strike!

Faced with such an attack, the woman's expression finally changed, and she no longer held back.

Three superior-grade magic mirrors flew out and merged with the previous two.

The five elemental mirrors—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—gathered together, transforming into a five-colored shield that blocked the woman's path.

Jiang Shi's sword collided with the woman's precious mirror.

Suddenly, a roaring sound rang out.

Jiang Shi and the woman both stepped back.

The aftershocks subsided, and the dust settled.

Jiang Shi and the woman faced each other from a distance. This time, they both acknowledged each other's strength and became serious and wary of one another.

"This Five Elements Treasure Mirror is a perfect match for me. If I can obtain it, my strength will increase greatly, and I won't be afraid even if I encounter a low-grade spiritual artifact." Jiang Shi developed a greedy desire for the Five Elements Treasure Mirror.

"This person must have some unspeakable secret to have mastered such magic. Capturing him and interrogating him will definitely benefit my future." The woman also developed a lustful desire for Jiang Shi.

Just as the two were consumed by greed and about to start fighting again.

There was a commotion in the distance, and the two looked towards it to investigate.

It turns out that the battle taking place here has already attracted the attention of other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the surrounding area.

Many people rushed over, hoping to profit from the situation.

Seeing this, Jiang Shi and the woman tacitly stopped.

Both of them understood that if they continued fighting, there would be no result in the short term.

You'll be influenced by others, so it's better to stop now.

We'll fight again later.

Anyway, we're in a secret realm, and we can't get out anytime soon.
