Gou Liang and Mo Yinchu stayed in the Sumeru Mustard Seed for three months until Gou Liang's cultivation recovered to the early Aurous Core stage.

Mo Yinchu didn't take the initiative to ask about the origin of the Sumeru Mustard Seed, but Gou Liang didn't hide it from him. He chatted about the original owner's life for the first thirty years.

The original owner, Lu Xun, was born in a cultivation family in the Mortal Realm. His ancestors were once a big sect in the Heaven Realm, but they gradually declined due to the cruel law of the forest in the cultivation world. Later, in order to avoid their enemies, they simply went to the Mortal Realm.

"There was an ancestor who succeeded in crossing the tribulation. It was said that before he ascended to the God Realm, he left behind a secret treasure for his descendants. However, no one has ever seen it. The elders only thought it was a joke until I was born."

Gou Liang paused for a moment, and then continued with a smile, "My parents often said that when I was born, the sky was full of red clouds and there was a golden light. It was very auspicious. Who would have thought that I, the son of auspiciousness, would bring disaster to their family. "

He sighed softly.

Lu Xun was born with a spiritual eye that could see through the disguise of all treasures in the world. When he was an infant, he obtained the secret treasure left behind by the ancestor when he was worshiping in the ancestral temple — the Sumeru Mustard Seed.

The almighty who crossed the tribulation and ascended could step through the void and tear open a space for themselves. However, there were also differences in the quality of the portable space. The most common was the storage space that could only accommodate dead objects and spirit beasts — Mo Yinchu had this kind of portable space. When the cultivators of the God Realm died, their portable space fell with them. This was the origin of the Three Realms' secret territory. Because it was ownerless, the heavens allowed cultivators to go in and out to search for treasures.

Like the Sumeru Mustard Seed, which could accommodate all things and could be freely accessed by cultivators, were the best of the best. It was also very rare in the God Realm.

The most reliable way to get the Sumeru Mustard Seed was to snatch the ownerless secret territory and make it recognize you as its master. Just like Mo Yinchu when he was in the Upper God Realm, he was able to obtain a top-notch Sumeru Mustard Seed, which contained countless treasures. Under such circumstances, as long as his Soul Imprint was erased, the Secret Realm would recognize a new master and change its master. That was why he was being hunted on such a large scale.

Although this mustard seed space didn't have any cultivation techniques or Dharma artifacts, under the beautiful scenery, there was a supreme-grade Spirit Vein. There was even a Spirit Spring, which was very rare.

Lu Xun himself also had a heavenly spirit root with extraordinary talent. Complemented by the spirit spring, his cultivation path could be said to be open and smooth.

The original owner's family was pleasantly surprised. They only hoped that he could restore the family's glory. Who would have thought that fortune and misfortune were unpredictable. Once, he obtained an ancient treasure sword covered in dust in the market of the mortal world. Before his family could be complacent, he exposed himself and attracted the covetous eyes of a Golden Core cultivator. In order to seize the treasure, his entire family was slaughtered.

Gou Liang said, "I hid in the Sumeru Mustard Seed and escaped. Later, I accidentally saved my master who was being plotted against. I was favored by him and entered the Seven Sword Sect. Only then did I truly embark on the path of cultivation … Haha, actually, my previous wish was to become a Spirit Chef."

Mo Yinchu listened quietly. When he saw him stop, he asked, "Master, did you seek revenge on that Golden Core cultivator?"

"Of course I did." Gou Liang nodded. "However, reincarnation is the way of heaven. That person killed people and stole their treasures. Then, he was killed by someone else who stole his treasures. When I found him, the grass on his grave was already three feet tall."

The Hidden Sword Peak Master always said that his treasured disciple's temperament changed when he was young. That was why he became eccentric. He was often worried that he would leave behind a heart demon if he didn't personally take revenge.

Actually, his worries were unnecessary. The original owner was truly heartless. Other than starving to death, he was completely isolated from the heart demon. Oh, it could be said that the soul fragment in this world had the same personality as the original owner. It was just that he liked the new and hated the old, so he was a little more human scum.

"Master, did you not use his skeleton as a sacrifice to your entire family?"

Mo Yinchu leisurely ate the grilled fish as he spoke.

Gou Liang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said. He sighed regretfully and said, "What's the use of a skeleton? My goodness, he owed so many lives, yet he was already lining up to be reincarnated. I didn't even find a strand of his soul. Otherwise, if I didn't lock him in the Ghost Killing Sword Array for eighty to eighty years, it would be difficult to resolve the hatred in my heart. "

As he spoke, Gou Liang took a big bite of the grilled fish, as if he wanted to vent his anger.

Mo Yinchu saw that his eyes and mouth were full of satisfied smiles, eating very happily, and silently swallowed back the words of agreement.

When leaving the Sumeru Mustard Seed, Mo Yinchu was very careful. Fortunately, Li Minghua didn't insist too much, or the old monster's injuries were too serious and he was eager to find the treasure of the secret realm, "Oneness", so they didn't stay in the same place to guard the corpse. They smoothly jumped into the rift valley that had already been flooded into a river and left this place.

"Master, where are we going next? Are we going to meet up with the senior brothers?"

Mo Yinchu asked.

Gou Liang glanced at the system monitor. Li Minghua had already defeated all the obstacles with the help of the old monster and was about to reach the seal of the secret treasure, "Oneness". A trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes. Gou Liang smiled and said, "This matter is not urgent. Let's go and meet our Supreme Ming Hua first. I want to see how many powerful Mahayana magic treasures he has and whether it's enough to protect his life. "

Mo Yinchu's eyes flashed slightly. He said, "This Yellow Spring Secret Realm is not small. How does master know where he is?"

Naturally, he had to rely on the system's little expert.

Gou Liang raised his eyebrows. "Back then, they used the butterfly trap on you to sneak attack you. Master can naturally give them a taste of their own medicine."

Mo Yinchu understood. Back then at the desert entrance, not only did the old monster have evil intentions and used some tricks on him in order to ambush him, Gou Liang also had the same idea. It was just that the other party was one step ahead of him.

The master and disciple flew on their swords to seek revenge. At this time, Li Minghua was fighting with his inner demon in the Sword Mountain Flame Sea Formation.

When the Endless Devil was alive, his attainments in formations could be said to be at the peak of perfection. The formations in his cave were endless, and the Twelve Chain Formation that protected his natal magic treasure was an extremely dangerous killing formation. The ancient inheritance of the Lower Realm of Cultivators had been mostly destroyed. If not for Ancestor Yunxiao, Li Minghua would not even be able to pass through the first formation alive.

However, Ancestor Yunxiao's attainments in formations were limited. Breaking the formations mostly relied on the explosion of magic treasures. He only reached the twelfth formation after losing fifteen eighth-grade magic treasures and one ninth-grade magic treasure.

It was also thanks to him that Gou Liang and Mo Yinchu, who were wearing Invisibility Talismans, walked through the path opened by them and easily reached the outside of the final formation.

The faint black flame was like smoke, gently and faintly drifting. It was like a quiet and beautiful man in the Flame World. It looked very harmless, but Li Minghua, who was wearing an eighth-grade defensive talisman and wielding an eighth-grade offensive magic treasure, was still no match for the flame. One could tell how powerful it was.

The design of the final formation was obvious at a glance. The flame was the eye of the formation. Destroying it or subduing it would break the formation.

With Li Minghua's simple and crude method of breaking formations, he would rather deal with the flame pathetically. It was obvious that he had chosen the latter.

"This flame doesn't look like an ordinary flame."

Gou Liang said to Mo Yinchu through Secret Sound Transmission. As he spoke, he took out a cloak from his Sumeru Ring and wrapped it around his body to resist the cold and bone-chilling pressure of the flame.

Mo Yinchu replied through Secret Sound Transmission, "Master, this seems to be the sacred flame of the Five Yama Sect," Laughing in the Nine Springs ". Because the sound it makes when it attacks is similar to the sound of laughter, it got its name. This flame is born in a place of extreme Yin. Its attack speed is very fast, and the tongue of the flame is as sharp as a knife. Once the skin is cut by the tip of the flame, it will swallow the cultivator's spiritual power and create a heart demon illusion. If the cultivator can't break free, their soul will always be imprisoned in it, unable to reincarnate. "

He motioned for Gou Liang to listen. Sure enough, when the black flame moved quickly, although the sound of the wind was small, it was like a gloomy laughter.

"Although the Laughing in the Nine Springs is not on the Deviant Flame List, it is not inferior to those Deviant Flames. However, this flame is Mo Xiu's sacred item, and has a miraculous effect on refining souls and poisons. I just don't know what a righteous alchemist like Supreme Ming Hua wants it for. "

Hearing this, Gou Liang said lightly, "When he used the Soul Refining Whip to whip you, his technique was not inferior to Mo Xiu's. Since ancient times, there has been no distinction between righteous and evil."

Mo Yinchu did not expect him to have such an opinion. He sighed and said, "Master is right."

Although these juniors were lacking in cultivation, when it came to seeing through people's hearts, they were much more adept at it than these old things.

Thinking back, he had also experienced the vicissitudes of life, but there was still a distinction between righteous and evil in his heart. Although he did not hate Mo Xiu to the core, he still disdained to be associated with him. It was not until he ascended to the God Realm that he changed this idea.

That was a world with even more barbaric rules. It was far from the peaceful paradise that the cultivators of the lower realm thought it was. On the contrary, there was no distinction between good and evil, and was not bound by the rules of the world. Only the strong were respected.

High Deity cultivators with endless lifespans, whether it was to kill people for treasures or just to find some entertainment to pass the time, they never needed a proper reason to bully the weak …

"Ninth Grade Magic Weapon, Li Minghua really has a lot of good things on him. Good disciple, it seems that this Sword Mountain Flame Sea Formation is about to be broken. Later, we will split into two groups and help them clean up the mess. "

Gou Liang's voice interrupted Mo Yinchu's thoughts.

He gestured twice to the Laughing in the Nine Springs and the Returning to One Secret Treasure surrounded by it. Seeing that Mo Yinchu understood tacitly, Gou Liang laughed and said, "I still say the same thing, if you can't beat them, run. Don't try to be brave."

Mo Yinchu was enlightened, although he had never seen a sword cultivator who always instigated his disciple to run for his life.

Inside the formation, they had already reached the final juncture. Li Minghua's nerves became increasingly tense.

With Ancestor Yunxiao protecting him, he was not disturbed by the inner demons. However, just the direct attacks of the flames were already too much for him to handle. He had no choice but to go all out.

And the magic tool in his hand was already Ancestor Cloud Sky's last ninth-grade offensive magic tool — a body cultivator's poor pill cultivator's rich pill cultivator's rich pill cultivator's. Regardless of whether it was before or after Cloud Sky ascended, there would always be people who would give him what he wanted just to ask for a pill. Thus, he had many treasures in his portable space. But no matter how many treasures he had, he couldn't endure such consumption. If it wasn't for the sake of obtaining "Return to One" to repair his soul, he definitely wouldn't have been willing to spend so much.

"Patriarch, we've subdued it!"

Li Minghua was sweating profusely. His face was filled with ecstasy. He had not come in vain after obtaining this Strange Flame.

Ancestor Yun Xiao did not have much interest in "Smiling in the Netherworld". He got out of the jade pendant and said, "Watch it closely. Wait until I take the artifact on the stage, then I'll help you subdue the Strange Fire."

Li Minghua was overjoyed. "Thank you, Elder Ancestor, for bestowing me the Deviant Flame!"

Yun Xiao nodded lightly and walked towards the high platform. He moved very carefully, afraid that there would be restrictions or formations on the "Return to One" treasure. After using the artifact to test it and confirming that it was safe, he reached out to take it.

At this moment, with a bang, the high platform exploded without warning!

Ancestor Yun Xiao was shocked. The explosion was so loud that he immediately retreated, afraid that there was a self-explosion formation on "Return to One".

Almost at the same time, Li Minghua's scream was heard!

Ancestor Yun Xiao turned around and saw countless explosive talismans appearing out of thin air, smashing in the direction of him and Li Minghua. After a loud bang, the fierce and domineering Divine Transformation Stage sword qi suddenly attacked!

The sword qi of a Divine Transformation Stage Venerable could not be underestimated. Not to mention Li Minghua, who was only at the Nascent Soul Stage, even Ancestor Yun Xiao, who did not suffer from the backlash of forcefully activating the Mahayana Stage attack, did not dare to face the sword qi directly, let alone now.

He immediately went back into the jade pendant and shouted at Li Minghua to leave quickly.

Li Minghua ran all the way, and only when he was out of danger did he suddenly remember, "Ancestor, that sword qi, I seem to — I remember, that is the sword qi of the Seven Sword Sect's Sword Concealing Old Man! I saw him when he fought with Master, I can't be wrong! "

"Bastard!"

If Ancestor Yun Xiao still did not know who did it, then he would have lived for nothing! He was filled with hatred in his heart. Now, Return to One and Smiling in the Netherworld were definitely in the hands of Gou Liang and his disciple.

Forget about Smiling in the Netherworld, Return to One could not fall into Ling Tian's hands no matter what!

Thinking of this, Ancestor Yun Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Tian and his cheap master are really lucky, they are not dead yet. Go back quickly, since they still dare to come and seek death, why don't we help them! "

A mere Nascent Soul Stage cultivator and a Golden Core Stage cultivator, he did not put them in his eyes at all.

Moreover, Gou Liang and Mo Yinchu had suffered a blow from him at the peak of the Mahayana Stage. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would definitely fall by a few levels, so there was nothing to worry about.

Li Minghua had the same thoughts as him. It was a false alarm, and he was even angrier than Ancestor Yun Xiao — there was nothing more unbearable than being played by True Lord Lu Xun, who he hated the most.

However, without needing them to turn back, Gou Liang and his disciple had already 'delivered themselves to his door'.

"Yo, you old monster, you have such big words."

Gou Liang tore off the Invisibility Talisman and sneered, "Hiding your head and showing your tail. If you have the ability, show yourself. Let me see how ugly you are that you don't dare to come out and embarrass yourself."

Ancestor Yun Xiao naturally would not be provoked by him. When Li Minghua saw Gou Liang, his heart relaxed a little, "Brother Lu Xun is only a Golden Core Stage cultivator now, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to call yourself this Lord, right?"

He was gloating, but Ancestor Yun Xiao was secretly vigilant.

On that day, he clearly saw that Gou Liang was blocking in front of old man Ling Tian. His attack had already destroyed this kid's Dantian Sea of Qi, but in a short three months, he had actually repaired his Dantian and even formed a Golden Core. This kid could not be underestimated.

In the face of Li Minghua's ridicule, Gou Liang smiled lightly, "So what if I'm a Golden Core Stage cultivator? It's more than enough to kill you."

Li Minghua snorted coldly, took out the Soul Refining Whip from the Sumeru Ring, and waved it towards Gou Liang.

He originally had other suitable magic tools. This Soul Refining Whip was Mo Xiu's item, and it was very easy to backfire on the whip user. Before, Ancestor Yun Xiao had never let him use it, but in the face of Gou Liang, Li Minghua did not hesitate to take out the Soul Refining Whip. Injuring Gou Liang's skin and flesh was not enough for Li Minghua to vent his anger from being teased. He wanted to whip his soul and let Gou Liang taste the feeling of living a life worse than death!

When he attacked, Ancestor Yun Xiao keenly sensed that something was wrong and shouted, "Retreat!!"

But his warning was too late. Mo Yinchu, who had hidden himself, had already hit the jade pendant on Li Minghua's waist with the last hundred strands of Hidden Sword Peak Master's peak sword qi.

"Pu!"

The master and disciple's feint succeeded, and the jade pendant, which was already much dimmer, was unable to withstand the heavy blow, and a fine crack appeared on it. But this also made Ancestor Yun Xiao, whose soul was already injured, spit out a mouthful of blood and fell out of the cloud pendant.

"Ancestor!"

Li Minghua was greatly shocked. He did not have time to deal with Gou Liang and immediately returned to defend himself in the direction of Mo Yinchu.

Mo Yinchu tore open the Invisibility Talisman and calmly appeared. Li Minghua suddenly opened his eyes wide and cried out involuntarily, "Nascent Soul early stage … no, Nascent Soul middle stage!"

Mo Yinchu's cultivation was actually above his! How was this possible!!

Ancestor Yun Xiao said resentfully, "Quickly leave."

Gou Liang laughed and said, "You want to leave? It's too late! Good disciple, I'll leave that old monster to you. "

"Master …"

Mo Yinchu was somewhat hesitant. Even if he was a sword cultivator who loved to challenge those above his level, it was still too unwise to fight a Nascent Soul cultivator as an early Jindan.

"It's no problem. To kill a Nascent Soul core cultivator, I only need to move my fingers."

Gou Liang boasted shamelessly.

"Wishful thinking!" Li Minghua disdainfully snorted.

"You don't believe me? Then let's give it a try. "

Gou Liang's smile faded as he activated his Natal Sword and released it outside his body.

A black longsword was placed horizontally in front of Gou Liang. The body of the sword was simple and unadorned, and the dual blades did not reveal any sharpness. It looked no different from the lowest grade black iron sword on the market. But when it appeared, no matter if it was Mo Yinchu or Ancestor Yun Xiao, their pupils shrank.

— — High Heaven Sword.

— — Seven Sword Grandmaster's sword with the same name.

— — The Life Sword that Mo Yinchu could not find had appeared in front of them just like that!

Gou Liang slowly raised his hand and intimately flicked the body of the sword. He opened his mouth and spat out a word, "Go."

Li Minghua, who did not know that a disaster was about to befall him, waved the Soul Refining Whip. Ancestor Yun Xiao beside him shouted in shock, "Quickly move aside!!!"

But, it was too late.

The sword broke through the air and let out a clanging sound. The body of the sword was stained with Gou Liang's Spirit Power, and the patterns engraved on it were revealed. The twisting inscriptions and complex arrays were ancient and mysterious, cold and powerful. Before it even touched the sword, the Soul Refining Whip had already broken into pieces. The sword immediately pierced through Li Minghua, whose eyes were wide open in disbelief, and returned to Gou Liang without any desire to fight. Its sharpness was completely restrained, as if it had never been unsheathed to drink blood.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Li Minghua's heavily injured body still stood stiffly on the spot. Ancestor Yun Xiao's face was covered in cold sweat. Taking advantage of the time when Mo Yinchu was absent-minded while facing the High Heaven Sword, he grabbed Li Minghua and used a supreme-grade flying artifact to escape.

"I let them escape."

Gou Liang felt that it was a pity. Then, he stroked the black sword with his fingers and laughed, "But it doesn't matter. Anyway … … Even the Daluo Immortals cannot save Li Minghua's life from your hands. Isn't that right, Xiao Ling Tian? "
