Mortal: I am the young sect master of the Thousand Illusions Sect

Previously, due to the distance and dim lighting inside the hall, the inscriptions on the stele were blurry and could not be clearly seen.

At this moment, standing close to the stone tablet, Su Mixin suddenly realized that the engravings and characters on the tablet were actually shimmering with a very faint blue light, and contained a hint of purple.

Su Mixin focused her mind and began to carefully read the contents recorded on the stone tablet.

After reading the entire text, Su Mixin was overjoyed. The stone tablet recorded a rare escape technique.

The name of the supernatural power was clearly engraved on it: Tai Xu Sword Escape.

"Tai" means the ultimate and vast, and "Xu" means empty and formless. Together they refer to the greatest and most empty, boundless and limitless.

The concept behind this escape technique is extremely profound.

According to the inscription, there are two strict conditions for practicing this escape technique.

First, one must possess a natal magic weapon, a flying sword.

This is a unique escape technique for sword cultivators. To begin practicing it, one must use flying swords as a foundation, merge the body with the sword, and achieve harmony between man and sword in order to activate supernatural powers. This is an indispensable prerequisite.

Secondly, one's swordsmanship skills must reach a certain threshold.

Only those cultivators who embark on the true path of swordsmanship and achieve a clear understanding of the sword's heart are qualified to comprehend the basics.

Swordsmanship is about pursuing the ultimate killing power of flying swords. The deeper a cultivator's swordsmanship foundation, the more exquisite their control over their natal flying sword becomes. The flying sword's speed naturally increases accordingly, which in turn nourishes the Void Sword Escape, causing its level to rise steadily.

If we say that the early stages of this escape technique rely entirely on the foundation of swordsmanship.

When one cultivates to a high level, one has already touched upon the Great Dao of Space Laws.

Once one's supernatural powers are fully developed, traversing the void and crossing thousands of miles in an instant will be nothing more than a trivial matter.

This is the true origin of the name "Tai Xu".

Su Mixin gasped. The Law of Space—that was one of the supreme laws on par with the Law of Time, how profound and rare it was!

Is it really reasonable for such heaven-defying supernatural power to appear in this human realm where spiritual energy is scarce?

Su Mixin stood before the monument for a long time without moving, firmly memorizing all the key points and techniques of the Taixu Sword Escape.

After pondering for a moment, he took out a blank jade slip and carefully copied down the contents of the inscription for future study.

After doing all this, he turned his gaze to another stone tablet on the right side.

Su Mi hurriedly walked to the stone tablet.

This stone tablet is also made of blue stone, and the engraved patterns and characters on it emit a very faint blue-purple light.

Su Mixin began to read intently.

The inscription on this stone tablet actually records the crafting methods for three flying sword magic weapons.

Of course, none of these three flying swords are ordinary.

The first flying sword at the very top is called the "Formless Void Sword".

The moment Su Mixin saw the name of the sword, she connected it with the Taixu Sword Escape on the other stone tablet.

Unfortunately, the inscription did not provide any special explanation for this.

The main materials used in this sword encompass the four elements and five symbols, making it extremely complex.

Its main materials include: Ten-thousand-year-old black jade, bitter yin spiritual water, heavenly thunder dazzling crystal silk, and Xun wind pendant stone.

Of these, apart from the Ten Thousand Year Jade, he had never even heard of them.

These four main material attributes are ice, darkness, lightning, and wind, which correspond to the four different spiritual root attributes and implicitly contain the meaning of the four symbols.

There are five auxiliary materials needed to forge this sword, corresponding to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. What put Su Mixin at ease was that all five materials were recorded in the Thousand Illusions Sect's library.

Among them, the metallic material is the renowned Geng metal essence.

Upon seeing this, Su Mixin felt a faint pain in her liver.

This second type of flying sword is called the "Glassy Star Sand Sword".

The main material of this sword is only one type, called "Star Core Sand".

Su Mixin said she still knew nothing about it, but judging from the name, this material should be closely related to the stars in the high heavens and the void.

Is this something that cultivators in the human realm can even covet?

The third type of flying sword is called the "Azure Emperor Wood-Generating Sword".

The method of forging this sword is the simplest and most accessible among the three types of flying swords. Its core material is only one: spirit wood that is over a thousand years old.

There are no strict restrictions on the type of spirit wood; as long as it meets the age requirement and is rich in spiritual energy, it can be used as the foundation for refining.

However, it is important to remember that the quality and characteristics of the spirit wood directly affect the core essence and strength of the final flying sword.

Su Mixin almost instantly thought of the "Ten Thousand Year Golden Thunder Bamboo" and the "Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword".

Of these three types of flying swords, the only one that Su Mixin can currently dream of is the third one, the Azure Emperor Wood-Born Sword.

His feelings were complicated. He knew he had to get to know Old Devil Han.

He is determined to obtain the Golden Thunder Bamboo of Ten Thousand Years; this matter requires careful planning.

Although Su Mixin has an ice-attribute spiritual root, the "Great Luo Thousand Illusion Technique" she cultivates has nothing to do with wood or lightning attributes.

However, such a precious treasure should not be missed, even if it is not refined into a natal magic weapon.

Su Mixin could only sigh longingly at the other two types of flying swords. Among the main materials needed, only the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Jade existed. According to the information in the original work, he knew that it was kept in the Xiaoji Palace of the Great Jin Immortal Cultivation World.

Based on Han Laomo's travels in the original novel, it would probably require at least a Nascent Soul cultivation level to reach that place from Tiannan, and would only be possible after overcoming numerous dangers.

Su Mixin took a deep breath and repeated the same steps. Not only did she spend time memorizing the contents of the stone tablet, but she also took out a blank jade slip and carefully copied the contents of the inscription.

Finally, he looked around the hall, and only the huge portrait in the main hall caught his attention.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mixin slowly walked to a spot ten steps in front of the portrait.

He took a deep breath, composed himself, bowed, slowly knelt down, and solemnly kowtowed.

We owe a debt of gratitude and respect to the benevolent spirit of their legacy.

The next moment, a streak of azure light flew out from the portrait and shot towards Su Mixin, disappearing between his eyebrows before he could react.

Su Mixin's expression changed drastically, but after a few breaths, it became quite interesting.

"Are these ancient cultivators' methods really that cliché?"

That streak of azure light was the information left behind by the ancient cultivator wielding the sword. The method he used to leave it behind could only be triggered by a descendant's sincere kneeling and worship, in order to obtain this information.

This message contains four main aspects.

Firstly, it introduces him personally, whose name is "Master Jiulu". He came from the Spirit Realm to participate in the war when the Demon Realm invaded this world.

This person is a cultivator who specializes in swordsmanship. Due to his outstanding killing ability, his "Glazed Star Sand Sword" intimidates his peers in both the spirit world and the human world, and he is hard to beat. This is how he got the name "Nine Slaughters".

Secondly, there is the origin of the contents of these two stone tablets. When the Nine Slaughter Master was in the Spirit Realm, he was fortunate enough to accidentally obtain two Golden Jade Books. The "Great Void Sword Escape" supernatural power and several sword-forging methods were all obtained from them.

Before the war ended and he returned to the Spirit Realm, Master Jiulu deliberately left behind this place to pass on his legacy, so as to bless future generations of cultivators in this realm.

Thirdly, there is a hidden pitfall left by the Nine Slaughter Master. The method for forging the Tai Xu Wu Xing Sword recorded on this stone tablet is incomplete. Only by obtaining this information can the sword be perfectly forged.

If it weren't for the younger generation kneeling in reverence, they might have missed the complete opportunity to learn the "Formless Sword of the Void".

The "Formless Void Sword" also requires a treasure called "Void Crystal" as its main material.

The "Void Crystal" is a material that can only be generated when a large space is completely annihilated, and its preciousness is simply unimaginable.

Because of its spatial properties, it is a top-tier treasure that is extremely rare and hard to find even in the spirit world.

This material is also key to the spatial attributes that give the Voidless Sword its unique properties.

At this moment, Su Mixin remembered the natal magic weapon "Invisible Needle" of Qiong Laoguai, a fake infant cultivator of the Hidden Moon Sect in the original work. The original description of this magic weapon was that it was tempered by the essence of the five elements.

It shares a similar concept with the "beggar's version" of the Voidless Sword without the addition of the "Void Crystal".

The fourth aspect of the information is a special reminder: pay attention to these two stone tablets!

Master Jiulu frankly admitted that after obtaining the methods for refining these flying swords, his first desire was naturally for the most powerful one, the "Formless Void Sword." However, despite his best efforts, he was unable to obtain even a single "Void Crystal."

Unexpectedly, he obtained some "Star Core Sand" and forged the "Glassy Star Sand Sword," which brought him fame.

In the process of collecting materials for the "Formless Void Sword", he obtained a considerable amount of "Heavenly Thunder Crystal Silk" and "Wind Pendant Stone" in the Spirit Realm.

These two materials are not found in the human realm. Master Jiulu used these two materials to cast a monument and left it here.

When he was in the human realm, he encountered the "Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Jade" and "Bitter Yin Spiritual Water" produced in this realm, proving that later generations of cultivators have the opportunity to obtain these two materials.

Therefore, whether or not one can forge the "Formless Void Sword" by chance depends on the luck of the person who received the opportunity.

Master Jiulu expressed his heartfelt blessings.

Su Mixin calmed her excited emotions and thanked him again.

"If I can successfully ascend to the Spirit Realm one day and see you again, I will surely repay this kindness," Su Mi thought to herself.

"This Venerable Nine Slaughter is truly a great benefactor!"

Su Mixin stood up, thought for a moment, and then carefully put away the portrait, storing it in her world ring.

After that, he came to one of the stone tablets.

"No wonder the main body of this stone tablet is blue, while the inscriptions glow with a bluish-purple light," Su Mi thought to herself.

He gently touched the engraving with his fingers and immediately felt a tingling sensation.

When I touched the stone tablet with the palm of my hand, I could feel a very small and gentle pushing force.

These two top-tier treasures, which cannot be found in the human realm, are truly extraordinary.

These two stone tablets definitely had to be packed up and taken away. Su Mixin took out the Nine Mystic Sword Shuttle and started the project of turning over the bricks and digging.

The white jade floor tiles inside the main hall were quite hard. It took Su Mixin more than two hours to completely dig out the two stone tablets and store them in her world ring.

Su Mixin did a final calculation and found that the quantity of these two materials was so large that it should be enough to forge a complete set of dozens of flying swords, just like Han Laomo did.

"So, should we start planning the Great Geng Sword Formation?"

Thinking of this, Su Mixin shook her head again. The Great Geng Sword Formation cannot be mastered simply by having a set of dozens of flying swords. Its core foundation is the "Azure Origin Sword Technique". Only by cultivating the "Azure Origin Sword Technique", mastering the "Sword Shadow Splitting Light Technique" and unleashing at least a hundred sword lights can one have the opportunity to set up this sword formation.

Trying to obtain the Great Geng Sword Formation from Han Laomo on your own would be futile and pointless.

Finally, Su Mixin walked around the entire hall several more times, carefully checking all the luminous pearls and the eight pillars one by one. Only after confirming that there were no other gains left over or missed did she turn around and walk out of the hall.

Because the Hearthstone's cooldown time was insufficient, Su Mixin could only sit cross-legged in the square and wait. The spiritual energy in this secret realm was thin, making it unsuitable for cultivation.

With nothing to do, Su Mi calmed down and began to carefully plan her future cultivation and future strategies.

He had already made up his mind and planned to return to the Thousand Illusions Sect immediately, then go into seclusion to cultivate and improve his cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Before going into seclusion to cultivate, the most urgent task at hand is to find the hidden teleportation array that leads to the Chaotic Star Sea. This matter is urgent and cannot wait any longer.

As time goes by, the day when the demonic forces launch a full-scale invasion of the Yue Kingdom is not far off.

Putting aside this war in the cultivation world, as the main initiator, will the Thousand Illusions Sect, as the young sect leader, have a lot of energy tied up in it?

Once the war breaks out, Han Li and the others will be sent to guard the spirit stone mine. Just half a month later, when the demonic team launches an attack, they will unexpectedly discover this teleportation array. At that time, they will miss the opportunity to seize the opportunity first.

Even if they manage to find the teleportation array within half a month before Han Li and his group discover it, a fierce battle with the Blood Jade Spider would inevitably alert everyone and expose this hidden opportunity to the world.

Su Mixin was determined to keep this Chaotic Star Sea teleportation array firmly in her own hands.

Even if, in order to plan for the Ten Thousand Year Golden Thunder Bamboo, he had to follow the original timeline's fate and use Han Li's hand to help it successfully enter the Chaotic Star Sea, he could still make an equal deal from it.

Later in the war against the demonic invasion, the sects of Yue Kingdom suffered repeated defeats and their power was in decline. After being abandoned by the higher-ups of Huangfeng Valley, Han Li, who had nowhere else to turn, would definitely regard the teleportation route to the Chaotic Star Sea as a peerless opportunity to defy fate.

With this as leverage, the weight is already sufficient.

In fact, Su Mixin had also considered other options: she would not reveal the opportunity of the teleportation array to Han Li for the time being, but wait a hundred years, then personally go to the Miaoyin Sect to intercept the Thunder Bamboo with roots, and bring this treasure back to trade with Han Li in the future, asking him to help cultivate it.

But he immediately rejected the idea as soon as it arose.

With Han Li's intelligence and shrewdness, if he missed the way out of the Chaotic Star Sea, he would immediately realize that his biggest secret and trump card had been exposed—the little green bottle had already fallen into the eyes of others.

Given Han Li's cautious, suspicious, and decisive nature, there will likely be no room for maneuver between the two at that point, and they will only end up fighting to the death.

The most pressing issue right now is how to secure the return of the Eternal Golden Thunder Bamboo after throwing out the teleportation array as a major bargaining chip.

To achieve this, one must always maintain absolute suppression of Han Li's cultivation and combat power, hold enough trump cards of interest, and even grasp the leverage to control the other party.

Su Mi's eyes were calm and composed, and she was confident that she must firmly grasp the initiative in this covert struggle with Han Li.
