199: The two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, only the soul of life is inside the body

Desert.

The surroundings were desolate, with only a few withered, yellow weeds growing wildly.

The space before him rippled like water, and wisps of Devilish Qi seeped through imperceptible holes, filled with an ominous aura.

"We've arrived... This should be the spatial node Elder Haojian mentioned..."

Elder Haojian drew in a wisp of Devilish Qi, his gaze solemn.

"Spatial smuggling is no small matter... Later, we will use the Formation Plate left by Sword Ancestor to open the space. All of you can wear these rings. After entering the Holy Realm, within ten thousand li, you can locate each other, and then you can also look out for one another."

Ling Xuzi took out three white jade-like bracelets, which were clearly a special Magic Treasure.

"Alright."

Gu Changsheng took it, and as a wisp of magical power injected, two faint light spots immediately appeared in his mind.

'Quite interesting...'

This journey was long and arduous, and Sword Ancestor had naturally invested heavily.

A Sword Talisman capable of an attack comparable to the Yang Spirit Realm, a Small Teleportation Talisman, and the demonic heart crossing Pill Formula.

For Gu Changsheng, the most important thing was Sword Ancestor's appearance.

During the battle that day, sword light swirled, and beneath the sword body, his true face was unclear.

However, considering that Sword Ancestor's Divine Thought enveloped Shu Mountain, Gu Changsheng had always suppressed the excitement in his heart and had not painted a portrait.

'Once I enter the Holy Realm, I'll be free as a bird...'

Thump thump thump—

The Formation Plate shot out a beam of light, merging into the surrounding space. Immediately, the previously imperceptible spatial node rapidly expanded, and dense Devilish Qi surged forth.

"You all, follow me in."

Ling Xuzi roared, sweeping away the storm with a single sword strike, and the three of them swiftly entered.

The surroundings were a hazy gray, with only a faint glimmer of light coming from afar.

That was where the Holy Realm was located.

The storm was like a bone-scraping steel knife, and the protective green light on the three individuals' bodies quickly dimmed.

"Not good... The spatial node's storm is even stronger than we imagined. We must enter the Holy Realm as soon as possible..."

Gu Changsheng and the other two disregarded the depletion of their magical power, suddenly accelerating as if swimming in a muddy swamp, each step forward consuming immense strength.

'Smuggling through spatial nodes is far less effective than the Whispering Descent technique...'

Gu Changsheng's eyes were solemn. The intense pressure caused his blood and Qi to surge, and a layer of golden light appeared on the surface of his body, instantly greatly reducing the pressure.

Finally, that faint glimmer of light became increasingly clear.

"We're here!"

Haojian exclaimed in surprise.

Suddenly, the surrounding space became extremely unstable, and a spatial turbulence surged rapidly.

"Not good!"

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Ling Xuzi's eyes sharpened. He actually kicked Elder Haojian away, blocking him in front, and plunged into the Holy Realm alone.

Accompanied by a tragic wail, Haojian's body was twisted into mincemeat and dissipated in the spatial turbulence.

The sudden change almost caught Gu Changsheng off guard.

His blood and Qi surged, and a hazy mystical light emerged from his body, like a swimming fish, dodging the spatial storm.

"Fortunately, I have the Void Walker..."

Originally, he was worried about being discovered by the two and had kept it hidden.

With this incident, he naturally no longer concealed it.

He anchored his gaze on a node and shot straight into it.

Immediately, the world spun, and the surrounding scenery was completely different.

Dense Devilish Qi permeated the heavens and earth. The surrounding mountains, trees, and land were all different from those in the Human Realm.

Stepping on the ground, Gu Changsheng recalled the scene of the spatial turbulence, his brows furrowing: "Indeed, better a dead Fellow Daoist than a dead poor Daoist.

If it had been me in front of Ling Xuzi at that time, I'm afraid Haojian's fate would have been mine."

His eyes gradually turned cold.

Back then, Haojian and Ling Xuzi entered the Sect together and studied under the same Revered Master, but what was the result... Haha.

"This person cannot be trusted... However, the Formation Plate that broke open the node is still in his hands..."

A hint of killing intent flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.

He poured magical power into the bracelet, but there was no response.

"Indeed, the distance has exceeded ten thousand li..."

After a brief thought, Gu Changsheng's Soul Sea churned, emitting strange syllables.

A moment later, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"Fortunately... the Whispering Descent technique can still sense the Witch Clan's chess pieces... At a critical moment, I can always forcefully descend into the Witch Clan World and use it as a springboard to return to the Human Realm."

Originally, when the Holy Clan invaded, it resulted in a mutual defeat with Shu Mountain.

Afterward, the affiliated Sects rebelled one after another, and Sword Ancestor killed a large number of them. Instead, no one paid attention to the Witch Clan World, allowing the Witch Clan to quietly recover its Origin Qi.

"There's no one around, it's a good time to glimpse Sword Ancestor's secret art..."

Gu Changsheng used the sky as a scroll and his finger as a brush, and a sage-like old man in green robes gradually appeared in the Void Realm.

A point of spiritual light surged into his mind.

A vast amount of memories surged forth.

As the sun rose, in front of a house, a child in green robes danced with a sword.

It was clearly a Mortal sword technique, and he held nothing more than a wooden sword, yet he danced with a rustling sound, and fallen leaves swirled around him.

A born Sword Embryo!

One day, a Ghost Cultivator descended upon the city, releasing fierce ghosts to devour Mortals, causing countless casualties.

Before the grave.

The child in green robes wiped away his tears and bowed before leaving.

On the tombstone, the names of his parents were clearly engraved.

Every word was like a blade, Sword Intent soaring.

Half a month later.

In front of a majestic Sect gate, the scorching sun shone brightly. The child in green robes was parched, his lips chapped from dehydration, yet he remained kneeling.

Finally, the Sect gate slowly opened.

The majestic gate resembled a heavenly gate, inscribed with the words 'Shu Mountain'.

In his youth.

The former child grew into a handsome young man, his swordsmanship unparalleled.

His Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters envied him, and his Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters admired him, but he was wholeheartedly devoted to the sword, traveling everywhere to slay demons, gradually making Shu Mountain, originally a side path, the mainstream of the Righteous Path.

Hundreds of years later, to the astonishment of the world, he stepped into an unprecedented Realm.

Yang Spirit!

From then on, the name of Shu Mountain shook the Human Realm.

He had a new title—Sword Ancestor.

But he remained low-key, instructing his Disciples and slaying demons.

Thousands of years later, he was old and frail.

His body was surrounded by various calamities, leaving countless hidden injuries.

That day.

A Devil Head asked him if he would be willing to enter the Holy Realm, transform into a true demon, and enjoy ten thousand years of Lifespan.

He unleashed a sharp sword strike, a green lotus bloomed, and the Devil Head perished.

The deterioration of his body had almost reached its limit.

The scene dissipated, and a new secret art appeared on the panel—Heart Sword.

【Heart Sword: The two souls of heaven and earth are always outside, only the life soul is alone in the body. If the life soul is immortal, the obsession is not damaged, and the body is also immortal.】

"It's actually a secret art that combines recovery and attack..."

Gu Changsheng was slightly surprised.

His consciousness seeped in, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"Stripping the Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul... Hiding the Life Soul in the Heart Sword... He's simply a madman..."

Having witnessed many secret methods, his discerning eye was unparalleled.

He immediately saw the drawbacks of this method.

Stripping the three souls and merging them into the Heart Sword indeed made it powerful.

However, it also made the main soul emotionally detached, gradually giving birth to another personality.

Gu Changsheng finally understood why Sword Ancestor's aura was so strange when he met him that day.

"This method has too many drawbacks... At most, I'll let a Clone study it..."

He glanced around, feeling the unique aura of the Holy Realm, and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

"The Holy Realm is a great world comparable to the Human Realm. I must make a big fortune..."

His Divine Thought spread out, searching for the aura of Holy Clan beings.

After a long while, his gaze shifted, and his figure shot towards the distance.
