Chapter 68 Sword Manual, Mountains and Seas

Northern part of Qinghe County.

The idle clouds drift aimlessly.

The sunset painted the western clouds a vibrant orange-red, a truly magnificent sight.

Amidst a few rosy clouds, a swift and enormous azure afterimage swept down from the sky, heading towards the cave halfway up Qinglong Mountain.

"It's the aura of that Core Formation Demon Warrior."

"And the Crimson Cloud Sword..."

At this moment, as Duan Li approached Qinglong Mountain, she already sensed the aura of the Crimson Cloud Sword.

The bluebird beneath it also emitted low chirps, sensing the aura of the Core Formation Demon Warrior as well.

Then, Duan Li asked Lin Zhou to wait at the entrance of the cave in the mountain, while she prepared to enter the cave alone.

"The aura is correct."

"I will definitely do what I promised you."

"As for the sword manual, at most ten days later, someone from the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect will come and deliver it to you."

"This sword manual is extremely valuable. Given your cultivation level and status as an inner or outer disciple of the sect, we can only teach you the part of the sword manual that involves cultivating to the Core Formation stage at most."

"If you advance to the Core Formation stage and then cultivate to the Gang Jin stage, you will only be eligible to exchange for it after your status reaches the level of an inner disciple or above."

"Furthermore, once you have mastered the sword manual, you must not pass it on to others, otherwise you will be hunted down by everyone in the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect."

Duan Li spoke to Lin Zhou, who was standing to one side.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"

Lin Zhou appeared to be very excited as he spoke.

"You deserve it."

After Duan Li finished speaking, she stepped into the cave.

"What a kind person!"

Lin Zhou was in a very good mood. He had thought it would be a long time before he could return to the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect to exchange for the sword manual he would be able to cultivate later.

Now that he's about to get his hands on a top-ten sword manual, this is naturally a good thing for Lin Zhou.

at this time.

After Duan Li entered the cave, she fell all the way down until she reached the edge of the pool.

He suddenly looked at the pool on one side, the deep, dark pool seemed to be hiding something.

Swish!

Immediately afterwards, Duan Li took out a jade tablet from his bosom that looked like it was made of the finest white jade. A wisp of energy flew out from the jade tablet and formed a white jade toad in front of him.

This toad seemed incredibly intelligent; it opened its mouth and immediately absorbed all the various auras floating around it into its belly.

"Croak!"

"The demonic aura of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, the Crimson Cloud Sword, and the Mountain and Sea Demon God Token!"

The spirit toad, which was suspended in the air and no bigger than a fist, began to speak after a few breaths, its voice soft and childlike, like that of a child.

This is a wisp of the original qi of the guardian spirit beast of their Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.

Their Sword Sect's guardian spirit beast is naturally adept at tracking auras.

The reason Duan Li was able to speed all the way here and was confident in finding the late-stage Core Formation demon warrior was because she had borrowed a wisp of the sect's guardian spirit beast's original qi.

Then you can track down the demon in the late stage of the Core Formation realm, kill it, and not only can you exchange for battle merits, but you can also get the Crimson Cloud Sword back.

"The Decree of the Mountain and Sea Demon God!"

At this moment, upon hearing the spirit toad in front of him utter the words "Mountain and Sea Demon God's Decree," Duan Li's expression revealed a look of shock.

"That demon warrior returned for the Mountain and Sea Demon God Token."

"There's something here!"

Duan Li's emotions were somewhat turbulent, and a hint of regret immediately appeared in his eyes. He hadn't expected that such a rare Mountain and Sea Demon God Token would exist in such a remote and impoverished place!

Could it be…?

Duan Li immediately thought of that fish-dragon in Qinglong Mountain that had been naturally cultivated to the early stage of the Core Formation realm.

It is already highly unusual for a fish-dragon at the early stage of the Core Formation realm to be born in a single mountain like Qinglong Mountain.

However, Duan Li did not possess the original qi of this sect's guardian spirit beast, and she was not very proficient in detection techniques.

After searching the Qinglong Mountain several times, they still found nothing.

Unexpectedly, I missed such an opportunity.

The Mountain and Sea Demon God Token is a renowned secret realm in the surrounding prefectures. It was once a top sect of the previous dynasty, with dozens of experts at the Gang Jin level or above.

Furthermore, there are also experts at the True Essence Realm.

Martial artists at the True Essence Realm can live for over three hundred years, can traverse the void, and possess astonishing combat power.

A True Essence Realm martial artist can crush dozens of罡劲 (Gang Jin) martial artists.

The Mountain and Sea Demon God Token is something that all the martial artists in the surrounding three prefectures want to obtain, because only those who have the token are qualified to enter the secret realm of the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect.

Moreover, the location of the entrance to the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect is not a fixed location.

Once you use the token of the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect to offer enough spiritual items as a sacrifice, a passage to the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect will be opened on your own.

The Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect can be considered the greatest opportunity within these three prefectures.

Their Wind and Thunder Sword Sect only has one disciple token from the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect. That token has always been from the Xuanjian Peak. Ao Feng, who is currently ranked first among the true disciples, obtained it by using the Mountain and Sea Demon God Token from the Xuanjian Peak Master.

Several demons at or above the Core Formation Realm were sacrificed to barely open the entrance to the Mountain and Sea Demon God Gate.

Ao Feng entered the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect. When he came out, he obtained a secret technique from the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect. This secret technique was a level stronger than the four secret techniques of their Wind and Thunder Sword Sect.

Once such an astonishing secret technique is unleashed, one can even use their perfected Core Formation cultivation to fight against top experts like sect leaders who are at the early stage of the罡劲 (Gang Jin) realm.

That is why it can be said that the other true disciples of the Wind and Thunder Sword Sect also want to enter the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect. However, the peak master of Xuanjian Peak only mentioned the disciple token of the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect.

A sacrifice can only be made once every five years to potentially open the passage to the Mountain and Sea Demon God Gate.

Nearly four years have passed, and in this last year, the peak master of Xuanjian Peak has become a prominent figure in their Fenglei Sword Sect.

They all wanted to enter the Mountain and Sea Demon God Sect, which was in the possession of the Xuanjian Peak Master. If they could bring back a secret technique of Gang Jin, just like Ao Feng, the number one disciple, then Ao Feng's position as the number one disciple might change hands.

For each disciple who advances to the next level, the amount of sect resources they receive varies dramatically.

Duan Li's target was Ao Feng, but she was no match for Ao Feng's secret techniques.

"If that demon warrior obtained the Mountain and Sea Demon God Token..."

"If I kill him, wouldn't that token fall into my hands?"

At this moment, Duan Li seemed to have thought of something, and her breathing immediately became more rapid. This was a great opportunity for her!
