It was unknown how long it had been before Gao Xuan let out a soft sigh.
To say that he and Zhou Huang had no friendship, he had no sense of belonging to the Five Elements Sect. This body was just a tool for his soul to rest.
Zhou Huang burned his soul and risked his life to find him, but only to leave the inheritance behind, and didn't even want him to help him with revenge.
Gao Xuan was somewhat touched by this broad-mindedness.
Zhou Huang said there was no need to seek revenge, but Gao Xuan couldn't bear it.
The last time the human race was destroyed, he was powerless and had endless resentment when he died. Perhaps it was because of his strong resentment that he was reborn.
After being reborn, he had the upper hand. He was the only one who killed people, and no one ever took advantage of him.
This time, he was killed by the Xuanzhen Sect and turned around and ran away. Although he left in a cool manner, Gao Xuan still had a trace of resentment in his heart.
By the time Zhou Huang came over to explain his final arrangements, Gao Xuan really couldn't bear it anymore.
Gao Xuan thought for a long time in the dark, and he decided to stay. Not only for Zhou Huang, but also because of the Yellow Emperor's Scripture and Kunyuan Divine Spear.
Zhou Huang also said that these two items are the foundation of Houtu Sect's inheritance and also the foundation of Five Elements Sect's inheritance.
Whether for the inheritance of the Five Elements Sect or to improve his own strength, Gao Xuan must obtain the "Yellow Emperor Sutra" and the Kunyuan Divine Spear.
Although the world is vast, it is too difficult to find opportunities everywhere.
The Yellow Emperor's Scripture and Kunyuan Divine Spear were perfectly suited to his cultivation path. Even if he couldn't reverse the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword, getting the Yellow Emperor's Scripture and Kunyuan Divine Spear would still allow him to make great progress in his cultivation.
In the past, he might not have had much of a chance.
Now that the Xuanzhen Sect has one more Nascent Soul, taking down the Five Elements Sect is obviously a test.
If the Tianji sect does not respond, the Xuanzhen sect will definitely become more arrogant.
In order to maintain its own prestige and defeat the ambition of Xuanzhen Sect, Tianji Sect must draw its sword and fight two battles. At this time, we must not be timid.
And what will the Wanjian Sect do? This is an interesting thing.
Anyway, if the two sides fight, the water will become muddy, and Gao Xuan will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
The most urgent task is to completely refine the Xuanming Heavenly Clothes and the Suzaku Ring.
The cave was simple, and Zhou Huang had run all the way here with the Suzaku Ring, so the other party might follow him.
Gao Xuan flew another two thousand miles and found a suitable cave under a cliff. The cliff here is steep and surrounded by mountains, which is quite hidden.
There is a stream ahead, the water is clear and sweet.
With a place to live and water, basic living needs can be met.
Gao Xuan then let Yuanbao and Dabai out. Yuanbao, who had been holding it in for most of the day, gasped for air as soon as she came out. She complained, "Brother, I almost suffocated to death in there..."
The world in the sleeve is a space of its own, but the space rules inside are special, and it is not the real world. People in it are like living in a huge closed room, which is boring and depressing.
The tiger demon was released from inside and jumped back and forth excitedly. If Gao Xuan hadn't been beside it, it would have roared a few times.
Gao Xuan asked Yuanbao to take the tiger demon around to familiarize it with the environment and preferably bring back some game.
He also warned Yuanbao not to let the tiger demon cause trouble. The sudden appearance of a tiger demon would disrupt the balance among the surrounding animals.
Gao Xuan didn't want to attract cultivators here.
After arranging the chores, Gao Xuan set up a quiet room for practice deep in the cave.
This quiet room is actually located deep in the mountain, a natural crack inside the mountain, and is far away from the cave. He was able to come in only by using the underground escape technique.
Although Jindan cultivators can fly in the sky, they need special skills and special tools to burrow into the ground or into the water.
Especially this crack deep in the mountain. Even if a Jindan cultivator finds something wrong inside, he can only force his way in.
The earth escape technique that comes with the Jiuyue robe is truly a top-notch escape technique. Not to mention Penglai Prefecture, I'm afraid that few people in the ten prefectures of the East China Sea can use earth escape.
Of course, when they reach the Nascent Soul level, they can travel in all directions. They can also barely escape underground. But the souls of Nascent Soul masters are relatively fragile. They will not easily risk traveling with their souls.
Moreover, the earth has endless geomagnetic energy. Even the Nascent Soul cannot withstand it when it reaches deep underground.
After Gao Xuan got the Xuanming Tianyi, the Xuanming Tianyi and the Jiuyue Robe naturally merged, and he immediately unlocked the earth escape technique in the Jiuyue Robe.
This spell originally requires a golden elixir to cast.
What Zhou Huang said was right, the Xuanming Heavenly Clothes and the Jiuyue Robes were a natural match.
Thick and endless soil can bear everything. But soil becomes heavy and stagnant. When soil is filled with water, it truly comes alive and can nourish all things.
With the Xuanming Tianyi, the Jiuyue robe is like an old man meeting a charming girl. The yin and yang complement each other, and the Jiuyue robe suddenly becomes lively.
The Xuanming Tianyi has become more heavy and steady, and its level has also been improved.
The two robes fit together as one, allowing Gao Xuan to easily control the water and earth energy. He could cast the corresponding spells as easily as using his own arms.
Although he has not achieved the Golden Core, he already possesses the strength of the Golden Core level.
Through the fusion of the two robes, Gao Xuan also comprehended the essence of the power of earth and water.
If Gao Xuan wanted, he could condense the golden elixir now. This was also because the Xuanming Heavenly Clothes and the Jiuyue Robes were too compatible. The combination of the two powerful instruments provided Gao Xuan with a huge amount of vitality, saving him decades of practice.
However, Gao Xuan was not in a hurry to form the pill.
Just the Golden Core cultivation level couldn't change his situation. He wanted to take this opportunity to practice the Suzaku Lihuo Sutra and Tianyi Sutra.
Earth and water are mutually generated and restrained, but water and fire can only restrain each other and cannot be generated.
The two have completely opposite powers, one is gentle, the other is fierce, one is full of vitality, the other is full of destruction.
The combination of water and fire has always been one of the most difficult hurdles in spiritual practice.
What most cultivators call the harmony of water and fire is just a description. Gao Xuanyao wants to make the two elements of water and fire compatible together, which is too difficult.
The Suzaku Lihuo Sutra is extremely profound, but Gao Xuan has been reincarnated and practiced in many worlds, and has already understood the essence of it, regardless of the magic, Taoism, or martial arts.
Although the magic in this world is high, its power is based on Yin Yang and the Five Elements. Moreover, it is completely connected with the source of power in the interstellar world.
Gao Xuan's experience in cultivation in the interstellar era can be integrated into his spells.
With his wisdom and knowledge, as well as the secret inheritance and corresponding magical instruments, his practice progressed by leaps and bounds.
Gao Xuan could understand the Suzaku Lihuo Sutra and the Tianyi Sutra at a glance and master them after practicing them.
In a very short period of time, he had already achieved extremely deep attainments in these two scriptures.
Gao Xuan thought that his skills might not be as good as Zhou Huang's, but in the Suzaku Lihuo Sutra, he should have a deeper attainment than Zhou Huang.
Vermillion Bird is the soul of blazing fire, and Li Fire is the source of all fires.
The Suzaku Lihuo Sutra actually involves first refining Lihuo and then condensing the spirit of Lihuo to transform it into Suzaku.
True fire transforms the form and gives birth to the soul. When one reaches this stage, one's power has truly reached perfection.
According to the realm described in the book, Gao Xuan has to reach the level of transformation of spirits before he can use true fire to transform into form and soul and create living beings.
This is too far away for Gao Xuan. Even if he has a high-level magic weapon like the Suzaku Ring, it will take him thousands of years to reach that step.
The Tianyi Sutra is at a higher level than the Suzaku Lihuo Sutra, and there is an obvious gap in realm between the two.
Compared with the Suzaku Lihuo Sutra, the Tianyi Sutra is obscure and difficult to understand.
With Gao Xuan's wisdom and insight, he pondered over the Tianyi Sutra for a long time. Fortunately, he had the Xuanming Heavenly Cloth as a reference.
If the Tianyi Sutra is a theory of cultivation, then the thirty-six restrictions in the Xuanming Heavenly Clothes all correspond to the Tianyi Sutra.
By comparing with each other in this way and combining theory with practice, Gao Xuan's progress in practicing the Tianyi Sutra was rapid.
By the time Gao Xuan had removed twelve restrictions from the Xuanming Tianyi, he had removed two more restrictions from the Jiuyue Fapao, making a total of twenty restrictions.
Through this period of seclusion and practice, Gao Xuan also understood a crucial truth.
The Five Elements of the Five Elements Sect have different levels of high and low elements, among which thick earth is the highest, followed by heavenly water, and then fierce fire.
Aoki is fourth, and Ruijin must be fifth.
Although in actual practice, it is difficult to compare the five elements, that is because the level of the practitioners is too low.
One must at least reach the Nascent Soul level before the highs and lows of the five elements can be clearly distinguished.
Just as Zhou Huang said, thick earth is the best among the five elements.
Gao Xuan was lucky, as he majored in the Thick Earth Sutra and refined the Nine Mountains Robe, taking the most correct and prudent step in building his foundation.
If he had built his foundation with the Suzaku Lihuo Sutra, he would be in trouble now. It would be almost impossible for him to go too far on the Five Elements Path.
Gao Xuan felt that Zhou Huang finally approached him to leave his legacy, partly because he was following the most correct path of cultivation.
With thick soil as the foundation, you can integrate the Tianyi Sutra.
The Xuanming Heavenly Clothes and the Jiuyue Dharma Robes fit together naturally, and had already set the best example for Gao Xuan. The two instruments were integrated into one, and they were no longer distinguishable from each other. From then on, the name became Jiuyue Xuanming Heavenly Clothes.
Gao Xuan merged the thick earth magic power and the sky water magic power, and the whole process was very easy.
After combining the two different magical powers, Gao Xuan's available magical power increased tenfold.
Although Gao Xuan has not yet advanced to the Golden Core stage, his cultivation has already reached the Golden Core stage, and his spiritual awareness is not much worse.
As for the soul, Gao Xuan's own soul is already at the top level of Nascent Soul, and it is not comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.
After this step was successful, Gao Xuan refined the Vermillion Bird Ring. He first tried to get Jiuyue Xuanming Tianyi to accept the Vermillion Bird Ring.
The combination of earth and water gives birth to all things. Not only is it thick and endless, it also provides an endless source of vitality.
The Vermillion Bird Ring is extremely fiery and domineering. If it is only combined with the Mysterious Netherworld Cloth, the two magical instruments may be completely destroyed.
However, with the thick and endless earth of the Jiuyue robe as its foundation, it can carry both heavenly water and Suzaku Lihuo.
After trying several times, Gao Xuan actually pinned the Vermillion Bird Ring on the Jiuyue Xuanming Tianyi robe.
However, Jiuyue and Xuanming were able to merge completely without any gap and become a magical instrument. Zhuquehuan could only be a concubine. Although she was also considered a member of the family, her status was lower.
The fusion of the three instruments also provided Gao Xuan with enough experience. The so-called fusion does not mean equality between them, but rather a distinction between high and low.
Hou Tu is the first, the master of the house. Tian Shui is the second, the mistress of the house. Zhu Que Li Huo is the third, a concubine.
The master and mistress control this mistress together and can send her around at will. This time, the three forces can be combined stably.
The power of Suzaku Lihuo merged with the power of Tianshui and Houtu, and Gao Xuan felt that the vital energy in his body seemed to explode in an instant.
His original soul was impacted by the three kinds of vital energy.
Fortunately, he had a strong soul and three powerful magic weapons that could divert the impact of the vital energy, thus blocking the backlash of the three kinds of vital energy.
If you want to accept a mistress and change the family structure, you have to accept drastic changes. Only when everyone is calmed down and accepts their own position can the family regain balance and stability.
Gao Xuan's magic power surged again. His soul sensed the endless spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and a golden elixir shining brightly naturally condensed in his sea of consciousness.
The golden elixir is both infinitely heavy, as well as the agility and long-lastingness of heavenly water, and the fiery and domineering nature of fire.
The three auras of the golden elixir converged in an orderly manner, and the vitality was pure and not chaotic. Not only did the magic power become more powerful, but the soul also became a little purer.
Gao Xuan was greatly surprised and quite delighted by this.
No matter how strong this body is, it cannot be taken away. Growth at the soul level is the fundamental.
The subtle progress at the soul level has also greatly improved the ability to control consciousness, body, spells and other aspects.
If Gao Xuan could originally exert his strength to 100%, now that his soul has improved, he can increase his efficiency by 30% in all aspects.
When the power is low, a 30% increase is nothing, but when it reaches the Jindan level, a 30% increase is very scary.
Compared to Zhou Huang, Gao Xuan's magic power is now ten times that of Zhou Huang. Not to mention the huge gap between the two in terms of power control and understanding of magic.
Gao Xuan was not surprised by this change. With the Devouring Pearl, he could actually compete with Zhou Huang.
The golden elixir, which is created by integrating the power of earth, water and fire, has a very strong foundation.
Since the decline of the Five Elements Sect, there has probably not been another strong man like him.
Once Gao Xuan's golden elixir was completed, four more levels of restrictions were unlocked within the Jiuyue Xuanming Heavenly Robe and the Suzaku Ring, removing a total of sixteen levels of restrictions.
The Suzaku Ring has several powerful spells, including the flaming flag, fire escape technique, pure yang true fire, ten thousand crows formation, rocket fire, and ten thousand miles of flowing fire...
The most powerful spell is the Suzaku True Shape Transformation, which can transform into a Suzaku and perform various transformations.
However, this Vermillion Bird only has the shape of a bird. Although it is powerful, it still needs Gao Xuan to control it.
Jiuyue Xuanming Tianyi also has several more spells. Among them, Tianshui spells are the main ones. The most powerful one is undoubtedly Xuanming Hanbing Needle.
This spell releases billions of condensed cold rays of water. As long as the opponent is hit, the mysterious cold air in the body will continue to condense. Even a Yuanying-level warrior may be frozen to death.
This magic spell directly targets the soul and is extremely vicious.
Of course, it is not easy to hit a Nascent Soul expert.
After a few days of seclusion, Gao Xuan formed a golden elixir and his skills improved greatly. He didn't want to practice anymore.
In a short period of time, it is impossible for him to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. With his current strength and the powerful magic weapon on him, he can protect himself if he encounters the Nascent Soul stage.
At this time, it is natural to go outside to test the wind and prepare to fish in troubled waters...
