The vast East China Sea is boundless.
Gao Xuan stayed in the depths of the East China Sea for ten days. He used a white jade gourd to suck up sea water for ten days.
According to Gao Xuan's estimation, the white jade gourd absorbed 100,000 cubic meters of water per second. After ten days, it probably absorbed 100 billion cubic meters of water.
This is just an approximate value, the difference is probably only a few million cubic meters.
Then, the white jade gourd was full. Gao Xuan could clearly feel that if he poured more water into it, the white jade gourd would burst.
It turns out that the so-called infinite capacity of the white jade gourd is nonsense, but it can be filled with 100 billion cubic meters of water.
Gao Xuan really wanted to go back to Wanbao Pavilion and explain this to them. This was complete false advertising!
One hundred billion cubic meters of seawater was pumped out of the East China Sea, but nothing happened. Even with Gao Xuan's keen perception, he couldn't see the reduction of seawater. You can imagine how vast and magnificent the East China Sea is.
That’s it. The East China Sea never said that it was infinitely vast.
The only thing that made Gao Xuan satisfied was that the white jade gourd could hold so much water and yet still hang lightly on the silk ribbon around his waist.
It is actually difficult for ordinary people to have an accurate idea of how much 100 billion cubic meters of water is.
Simply put, 100 billion cubic meters of water weighs approximately 100 billion tons.
One hundred billion tons is roughly equivalent to the weight of Mount Tai above the horizon. The same level, within a few tens of millions of tons...
To round it off, the white jade gourd on Gao Xuan's waist is equivalent to containing a Mount Tai.
Gao Xuan left the East China Sea contentedly, holding the white jade gourd, and headed west to the outside of the Tianji Palace.
Tianji Palace is located on Danshan Mountain. Looking down from the sky, Danshan Mountain is red and yellow, shaped like a copper furnace. The top of the mountain is a huge circular depression, from which a waterfall flows down the hillside and gathers into a lake at the foot of the mountain.
The Tianji Sect built a large number of palace-style buildings according to the terrain of the mountain, extending all the way to the lakeside at the foot of the mountain, forming an entire building complex.
This complex of buildings is called Tianji Palace, and it is said that 100,000 to 200,000 people live in it.
Of course, most of these people are ordinary mortals, and there are not many true Qi practitioners.
At noon, the buildings at the foot of the mountain were bustling with people, while the many buildings on the mountain seemed much quieter.
Only occasionally can you see people flying into the sky, or cranes flying and singing in the sky. It also has a sense of the beauty of the mountains and the people.
Gao Xuanyuan was looking down from a hundred miles away and was not afraid of being discovered by the people from the Tianji Palace.
Tianji Palace has only one headmaster, Wang Haichan, who is a Nascent Soul True Lord. No one below Wang Haichan is to be feared.
Although the Tianji Palace is well-known for divination, the claim that Gao Xuan, who brings the six-winged celestial cicada, is the most spiritual may be a bit exaggerated, at least it is not something that can be predicted by divination at the Nascent Soul level.
Gao Xuan dared to stir up trouble everywhere because he was sure that the other party could not find him. Gao Xuan could travel across the stars not because of his high martial arts skills, but because of his extraordinary spiritual power as the six-winged cicada. Only he could calculate others, but no one could calculate him.
Although the upper limit of power in this world is higher, in a place like Penglai Province, there is no one strong enough to suppress the six-winged cicada.
Gao Xuan looked down from a high place and had a general look at the Tianji Palace.
There is no doubt that the real core buildings of Tianji Palace are hidden deep in the mountain. No matter how hard you look from the outside, you can't see anything.
However, the atmosphere in Tianji Palace was obviously cold and solemn. The various disciples wearing formal Taoist uniforms all had serious expressions.
It was obvious that no one in the Tianji Palace had enough confidence in the decisive battle.
Although Li Buyi had just reached the Nascent Soul stage, he was still several hundred years behind Wang Haichan in terms of skill.
But the Xuanyang Sword is said to be the ancestral sword of the Xuanzhen Sect, with infinite power. If the Xuanyang Sword is really a divine weapon, then it will be really difficult for Wang Haichan to win this battle.
If Wang Haichan is defeated, the Tianji Palace will not only be destroyed, but it will also have to shrink its territory and resources.
As time goes by, it might become a third-rate sect like the Five Elements Sect.
Gao Xuan did not sympathize with the Tianji Sect. As one of the three sects, the Tianji Sect's eating habits were not very good.
The Five Elements Sect recognized the Tianji Sect as its big brother, but when something happened to the Five Elements Sect, the Tianji Sect didn't even have an explanation.
Gao Xuan watched for two days before he flew away with his sword.
After flying for two days, Gao Xuan arrived at Xuanzhen Mountain.
Xuanzhen Mountain is three thousand feet high and pure black. There is no grass or trees on the mountain. The mountain shines with a cold, metallic luster in the sun.
The entire Xuanzhen Mountain is like a pyramid forged from black steel, like an indestructible steel fortress.
Especially the smooth slopes cut on the surface of the mountain, which obviously have been artificially modified.
All the buildings of Xuanzhen Sect were placed inside the mountain. Although this was inconvenient, it ensured safety.
The cautious style of the Xuanzhen School is very different from that of the Tianji Palace.
Gao Xuan hid in a cloud and observed the Xuanzhen Sect from afar for two days.
Xuanzhen Mountain seemed very busy, with people flying in and out all the time. However, the interior of Xuanzhen Mountain was completely closed, and no matter how much Gao Xuan observed from the outside, he could not see anything.
The only thing that is certain is that Xuanzhen Mountain is not made of steel, but is reinforced with many spells. When necessary, the entire mountain can be completely sealed.
The interior of Xuanzhen Mountain must be completely connected, like a building built in the belly of the mountain. Only in this way can it be convenient for the sect to communicate with each other.
Gao Xuan sneered. Xuanzhen Mountain was indeed as solid as a rock. However, it was precisely because of its solidity that it was easy to destroy.
Gao Xuan had a concrete idea, but he just had to wait for the right time. He turned around and flew away on his sword.
This time, he headed straight for the Fiery Peak.
The Liehuo Sect has been operating Liehuo Peak for nearly a thousand years and has deployed countless magical mechanisms inside.
If they hadn't been attacked by a Nascent Soul-level warrior, Zhou Huang and his men would have been able to hold out on Liehuo Peak for a while and not collapse at the slightest touch.
Liehuo Peak is full of vitality and is a good place for practicing Taoism.
No matter what the Xuanzhen Sect does, they will never give up such a good place.
Gao Xuan had been spying on Xuanzhen Mountain for two days, and it was not in vain. He was sure that the two Yuanyings of Xuanzhen Sect were both in Xuanzhen Mountain.
The duel was about to begin, and no matter how confident Li Buyi was, he couldn't run around.
The Fiery Peak remained the same, all red like burning charcoal.
There are thousands of huge holes on the surface of Liehuo Peak, some of which lead directly to the depths of Liehuo Peak.
Gao Xuan didn't hesitate and landed directly at the entrance of a passage and walked in with a swagger.
There is a magic spell in Jiuyue Xuanming Tianyi, Thousands of Illusions of Clouds and Water.
When Gao Xuan used this spell, the Nine Mountains Mysterious Dark Heavenly Clothes would transform into a faint mist. With his current cultivation level, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator standing opposite him would find it difficult to see anything unusual.
Gao Xuan walked along the way and met several cultivators wearing black Taoist robes.
Just looking at the opponent's aura of magic power, it is clear that they are all low-level disciples of the Five Elements Sect. These people all have bitter faces and resentment in their eyes.
It's obvious that the disciples of the Five Elements Sect haven't been very happy these days.
"The guys from Xuanzhen Sect are nothing but bullies..."
"They treat us as errand boys. No, they don't treat us as human beings at all!"
Several Five Elements Sect disciples had complaints and started muttering when they gathered together.
One person said: "Shui Qingbo and the others are better, they are all on the upper level."
"What a bullshit! You are still using your beauty to please others."
"I heard that all the disciples of Tianshui Sect have become playthings..."
"No way, Shui Qingbo has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training!"
"A dog that has lost its home, what's the point of practicing Qi to perfection? Didn't you see that Jin Wufeng is like a dog in front of Yang Yunjun..."
"Shh, stop talking. Yang Yunjun is a golden elixir. Think about Zhou Ye's fate."
This person's words also made everyone else shut up. Although life is difficult, no one wants to die.
In order to establish its prestige, the Xuanzhen Sect killed many people. Outstanding disciples like Zhou Ye were beheaded and their souls were thrown into the Burning God Lamp, where they burned for three days before their souls were completely destroyed.
This move was extremely brutal, but very effective. No matter how resentful the many disciples were, few of them were not afraid of death.
Talking about it now, everyone is still scared.
Although Gao Xuan didn't know Zhou Ye's specific situation, he roughly understood that Zhou Ye would definitely end up in a miserable state.
He still had some impression of Zhou Ye, a proud man who didn't talk much, but was very upright. He had been saved by him once, and he had always remembered his kindness.
Gao Xuan sighed in his heart. In the world of cultivators, the strong prey on the weak. How can there be so much morality
Even in the mortal world, there is a winner-takes-all mentality. Only winners are qualified to talk about morality.
Gao Xuan passed by several people without asking them questions. Based on their identities, they were not qualified to know the secrets.
There are many natural passages inside Liehuoshan Mountain, which intersect each other. After artificial transformation, the internal roads are as complicated as a maze.
Gao Xuan didn't know the way, but he was extremely sensitive to smells. He could sense Shui Qingbo's smell from a distance, and following the smell, he arrived outside Shui Qingbo's door.
The rooms inside Liehuo Mountain are all caves carved out of the mountain wall, and are equipped with heavy solid wooden doors on the outside.
Shui Qingbo's residence is very luxurious, with spiritual stones inlaid on both sides of the door. These spiritual stones can not only provide lighting, but also serve as warnings.
Lingguang Stone is very sensitive to vital energy and will change color when it reacts to vital energy.
Gao Xuan stood in front of the wooden door and took a look. It turned out that there was a protective spell on the wooden door. But this could not stop him. He stretched out his hand and drew a rune on the wooden door, and then he passed through the wooden door silently.
The room was simply furnished with only a few pieces of furniture such as a wooden bed, a stone table, and a wooden cabinet.
Shui Qingbo sat cross-legged on the wooden bed and practiced, with a calm expression and a long breath.
Shui Qingbo should be the most beautiful female cultivator in the Five Elements Sect. Yuanbao is still young, just a girl. Compared with Shui Qingbo, she lacks some of the gentleness and softness of a woman.
Gao Xuan watched Shui Qingbo practicing Qi, but Shui Qingbo was completely unaware of it.
Until Gao Xuan said: "You are practicing it wrong here. The spirit is stored in the spirit palace, observing but not using, the qi is in the acupoints, flowing but not condensing..."
Shui Qingbo was startled. She quickly opened her eyes and at the same time activated the protective spell Weak Water Mirror.
When she saw Gao Xuan clearly, she was shocked and stunned.
"You are Gao Xuan?"
It had only been more than 20 days, but Gao Xuan had changed a lot. Only the shadow of his original self was still vaguely visible between his eyebrows, but Shui Qingbo could hardly recognize him.
Gao Xuan nodded: "It's me."
Shui Qingbo's expression was extremely complicated. She looked at Gao Xuan for a long time and was speechless.
Gao Xuan was not in a hurry either, he just waited quietly.
It took Shui Qingbo a while to react. She whispered, "You should leave quickly. Soul Refining Sword Yang Yunjun is here. Even though you have great magic skills, you have no chance of winning."
Gao Xuan asked seriously: "I want to kill Yang Yunjun to avenge my dead fellow disciple. Will you help me?"
Shui Qingbo was stunned.
