Just as the Three Corpses Elder’s body turned to flying ash, a black shadow flew out from within.
Even with the sword light unleashed by Gu Yuan, which grazed the black shadow, it only caused a slight ripple and could not stop it at all.
With Gu Yuan’s current swordsmanship, he could cut down living beings, tangible objects like tal, stones, plants, and also intangible entities like spirits, ghostly grievances, and thoughts.
However, this black shadow seed to contain so unfathomable mystery. No matter the amount of True Qi or Sword Intent Gu Yuan infused into his sword light, it could not harm the black shadow at all.
"Boy, you’re quite sothing... The more I look at you, the more I appreciate you. If I can cultivate you into a Divine Fragnt, I can have an additional Sword Cultivator Divine Demon."
The black shadow transford into a human shape and transmitted a sowhat peculiar voice:
"As for now, you’d better save your strength. With your swordsmanship, you might be able to cut down a Celestial Human, but my essence of this Secret Demon Divine Fragnt is still above that of an ordinary Golden Core Great Cultivator."
"Your sword cannot cut this Divine Fragnt of mine! Now, just obediently allow yourself to be devoured by !"
Before the voice fell, the black shadow pounced forward, attempting to possess Gu Yuan’s physical body, seize his foundation, and refine Gu Yuan into a Yin Demon Clone.
Gu Yuan snorted coldly, "Hmph, dream on!"
Clang—
He brought his fingers together, swept them across the sword blade, and the Silver Flood Dragon in his palm humd violently, emitting a dragon-like sword sound that resonated through the skies!
Gu Yuan was very aware that with his own swordsmanship level, he couldn’t possibly deal with this old demon’s Divine Fragnt.
Unless he advanced to the Celestial Human Realm, bringing the "Jade Scenery Profound Core Sword Formulas" to Small Success, or mastered the "Void Moon Reflected Sword Formulas" top-grade divine technique, would he have even a chance to resist.
So, Gu Yuan decisively stimulated the Silver Flood Dragon Sword’s instinct with his Sword Intent, triggering a trace of innate lethality from this top-grade magical artifact, using the high-grade essence of this Flying Sword to fend off the opponent.
Bam!
The Three Corpses Elder was forced back by the sword light, yet he only sneered coldly as he ca again,
"It’s useless. You might defend once, but can you defend a hundred tis, a thousand tis, ten thousand tis?"
Clang!
At this mont, with a resounding sword clang echoing all around, a sword light, brilliant like the great sun, descended from the sky, pinning the black shadow to the ground.
This black shadow, although having form, was without substance, capable of transforming into a mass of shapeless black gas or a shadowy apparition that magical artifacts couldn’t harm.
Yet, no matter how the black shadow transford, employing various divine techniques, it couldn’t escape this sword light and was firmly pinned down!
"Three Corpses, as an ancient cultivator who is about to cultivate a Yin Spirit, you actually stoop to bullying a junior who hasn’t even reached the Celestial Human Realm. How disgraceful..."
A light voice ca from behind Gu Yuan.
"He Ling True Master?!"
The black shadow cald down, recognizing the newcor.
"Master!"
Gu Yuan took a step back and bowed in respect.
He Ling True Master walked slowly forward, his gaze cold, staring icily at the Three Corpses Elder on the ground.
"I am a Demon Cultivator. A demon, unrestrained and unrestrained, fears nothing. Why would I care about such an empty title? Moreover, this young man’s foundation is pure and solid, a perfect material for refining into a god-demon. Who wouldn’t be tempted?"
The voice of the Three Corpses Elder pinned to the ground remained calm:
"But you, He Ling little one, painstakingly took Gu Yuan as your disciple, clearly intending to use him to glorify your sect’s lineage. Aren’t you sword cultivators supposed to be straightforward, focusing purely on Sword Dao, ignoring the affairs of the world? Why are you still troubled by such insignificant matters of honor and disgrace?"
"Even the Buddha has a Vajra’s wrath, and True Immortals experience emotions. So isn’t it more so for a re ordinary cultivator like myself?"
He Ling True Master remained composed, unbothered, but instead questioned:
"Enough chatter! Fellow Daoist Three Corpses, why are you not staying with the Primordial Nether Sect and ca to Qinzhou? Don’t tell you intend to enter the Red Dragon Immortal Palace. The Red Dragon Taoist, also known as the Demon Subduing True Master, is most intolerant of evil. If any of you demon cultivators enter, it would an seeking your own destruction!"
"Although your demon cultivation is profound, compared to the Red Dragon Taoist, you are still far behind. Coming as a Divine Fragnt is one thing, but even your true form ca, could it be..."
The Three Corpses Elder let out an eerie laugh, "Why I ca to Qinzhou, others might not know, but doesn’t your dicine King Mountain understand?"
"Back then, our Primordial Nether Sect dominated the world, occupying the Qin, Liu, and Feng states of the Six States of the Southern Border. But due to the overwhelming force of the Righteous Path, when several Primordial Spirits ca to subdue demons and eliminate devils, our sect suffered heavy losses and had to go overseas, rooting in the barren lands where Spiritual Qi is scarce."
"anwhile, your dicine King Mountain, Star River Sword Sect, and Gu God Sect benefit from occupying these vast and fertile Three States, rapidly developing using the excellent Spirit dicine, Spiritual Materials, and talents produced there."
The Three Corpses Elder sneered coldly, his calm laughter sending chills down anyone’s spine:
"Now, your ancestors have either ascended or passed away, and though your influence remains vast, there are no longer any Primordial Spirits. Instead, our Primordial Nether Sect has birthed a Primordial Spirit Celestial Demon. Isn’t this a godsend opportunity?"
"This ti, naturally, I have co to reclaim the things my sect once lost. These pri Three States, no, indeed the splendid Six States of the Southern Border, should all return to our Primordial Nether Sect."
"Regrettably, the later generation disciples are incompetent... unable to prove the Dao of Primordial Spirit."
He Ling True Master sighed softly but soon showed a mocking expression, "However, your Primordial Nether Sect, despite its grand influence, among the Six States of the Southern Border, there are countless masters, not to ntion high-level Primordial Spirits, and even those two places..."
"No matter how capable your Primordial Nether Sect is, what sort of waves can you stir up?"
Gu Yuan, standing aside, was subtly moved.
It turned out that the lands of the Three States occupied by dicine King Mountain, Star River Sword Sect, and even Gu God Sect were seized from the Primordial Nether Sect.
Moreover, the Primordial Nether Sect actually birthed a Primordial Spirit Celestial Demon and plans to lay claim to the Six States of the Southern Border.
The bits of information He Ling True Master revealed in his words also shocked Gu Yuan profoundly.
These secrets of the cultivation realm, how would he have known them before?
"So what?"
The Three Corpses Elder spoke indifferently:
"Upon reaching the Primordial Spirit level, whether immortal, buddha, demon, or monster, they rarely appear in the world. Besides, our Primordial Nether Sect never planned to cause a great disaster for the Demon Dao, nor will we send out the Primordial Spirit Celestial Demon, but only to reclaim what once belonged to our sect. In this case, who has the reason to stop us?"
He Ling True Master’s face turned ugly.
Because the other party was right, Primordial Spirit level masters have an understanding, regardless of being Immortal or Demon, they won’t easily intervene.
Those in cultivation are often self-centered.
Therefore, this plot by the Primordial Nether Sect over the Three States, as long as the Primordial Spirit Celestial Demon doesn’t intervene, as long as it doesn’t involve others and isn’t too excessive, no one will interfere with such a thankless task.
At most, there will be so righteous condemnations in words.
After all, it’s dicine King Mountain, Star River Sword Sect, and Gu God Sect getting the short end, not themselves...
So, if the Primordial Nether Sect truly plots the Three States, it would be anything but beneficial to dicine King Mountain!
