38: Dao Xuan, the sword puppet who snatched food from the tiger's mouth, made a fortune.

"That's right, the immeasurable sword gourd absolutely cannot be lost!" Void Sword Walker roared, "Immeasurable Demon Sealing Array, activate!"

Boom!

In an instant, the White Deer Grand Canyon, hundreds of miles long and resembling a giant Dragon, began to tremble.

Accompanied by the earth shaking and mountains trembling, countless colorful spiritual Evil Qi surged from underground. In just two or three breaths, they formed a colorful light screen Restriction above the White Deer Grand Canyon, and countless invisible Sword Qi echoed within the great array.

At this moment, only a single thought from Void Sword Walker was needed for that countless Sword Qi to descend from the heavens.

The great array was complete.

The entire White Deer Academy had completely become the Domain of the array's master.

Under the boundless might, all the Disciples and Elders stopped their Cultivation, looking towards the Deans Residence, some excited, others suspicious.

The four great academies of the Eastern Continent were all built upon ancient immortal and demon ruins, and the White Deer Academy was no exception.

This Immeasurable Demon Sealing Array was left behind by the ancient ruins, a true immortal and demon technique. Only successive Deans were qualified to control the great array.

"What is going on? What happened? Why did the Dean suddenly activate the Immeasurable Demon Sealing Array?"

At Xuanyuan Palace, Xuanyuan Baizhi stood atop the palace walls, looking towards the Deans Residence with surprise and uncertainty: "The last time the great array was activated was when the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the Li Imperial Clan faced off, and the Wu Zhou Eight Pillar States attacked White Deer... Could it be that Wu Feiyan dares to attack White Deer again?"

... Ganquan Palace, side hall. Whoosh~

An unremarkable yellow gourd appeared like a phantom before Cao Meng.

"So this is the immeasurable sword gourd... Holy crap, where are you going~"

The immeasurable sword gourd paused slightly in front of Cao Meng, then, as if it had gained sentience, it flickered and transformed into a streak of yellow light, fleeing outward.

Prison of Lihuo! Boom~

The lihuo red lotus flew out, instantly transforming into a giant lotus ten zhang in diameter.

The Lihuo blazed fiercely, firmly enveloping the yellow gourd. The azure Sun Lihuo transformed into countless threads, binding it tightly.

"Kill, kill..."

A familiar face appeared on the yellow gourd.

It was none other than Sword Demon Li Daoxuan, who had been sacrificed to the sword gourd.

At this moment, Sword Demon Li Daoxuan's self-awareness had been completely erased, but instinctive hostility still drove it to resist.

"This is a newly matured xuantian spirit treasure!" Above the refining fire prison, a pink silhouette appeared—it was the Demon Empress Chi Ling.

Rumble~ Just then, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.

The Immeasurable Demon Sealing Array was activated.

As the surging pressure descended, Cao Meng felt as if a pair of eyes was rapidly searching for something.

"Holy crap, this has gotten serious!" "Appraise~"

Cao Meng dared not hesitate. Given the current situation, if he didn't quickly refine the immeasurable sword gourd and make it recognize him as its master, being found would be troublesome.

immeasurable sword gourd: xuantian spirit treasure [Initial Refinement, Awaiting Upgrade]. Can nourish swords, kill people, capture people, and use the souls and blood of living beings to sacrifice the sword puppet inside the gourd!

sword puppet One: Sword Demon Li Daoxuan, Saint Realm Sword Cultivator.

Method of Sacrifice and Refinement: 1. Refine using Sword Essence; a Golden Core Sword Cultivator can complete it in three months. 2. Sacrifice with blood; can be completed in ten breaths [Danger]. Note: This method is extremely perilous and should not be attempted by those without a Saint Blood physique, nor by Saint Blood practitioners below the Dragon Elephant Realm.

"This thing is awesome!"

Nourishing swords, killing people, capturing people, and that sword puppet.

There was already a ready-made Sword Demon Li Daoxuan inside the gourd.

This guy's Cultivation had originally plummeted, but after entering the sword gourd and becoming a sword puppet, he actually recovered his Saint Domain Cultivation.

If he refined him, wouldn't he gain a Saint Realm Sword Immortal as a Dao Protector?

Outside the side hall, the power of the great array grew stronger and stronger.

The sword gourd's struggle also intensified, as if some sort of connection existed between the two.

The longer this took, the greater the risk of being discovered.

"I'll risk it!"

It wasn't the first time anyway. Compared to the last blood sacrifice for the shen ya sword, his Cultivation had improved so much this time that he should be able to hold on.

Blood Sacrifice!

The shen ya sword unsheathed, slicing across his palm. He grabbed the sword gourd tightly.

Instantly~ Cao Meng felt the true blood in his body surging, rushing towards the immeasurable sword gourd in his palm like a bursting flood.

Blood light flashed on the sword gourd~

"Damn it, why won't it stop~"

In the blink of an eye, Cao Meng's rosy cheeks turned paper-white, and then his skin actually began to shrivel.

Cao Meng felt as if his Primordial Spirit was being drained away.

"Die, die, die..." Inside the lotus fire prison, Demon Empress Chi Ling's eyes glowed, and she clasped her hands, silently praying.

"Shameless scoundrel, hurry up and die!"

If he died, she could escape this demonic lair.

Ten breaths was very short, but Cao Meng felt it lasted forever.

As his true blood drained, golden stars began to appear before Cao Meng's eyes.

Finally~ Thud.

He collapsed heavily onto the ground.

The immeasurable sword gourd also reverted to an unremarkable yellow gourd and fell to the ground.

"He actually didn't die..." A hint of despair flashed in Chi Ling's beautiful eyes.

Not only did he not die, but he also allowed this scoundrel to refine the xuantian spirit treasure. It would be even harder to escape this scoundrel's control in the future...

Deans Residence, rooftop.

Void Sword Walker had already pushed the power of the Immeasurable Demon Sealing Array to its limit. Above the entire White Deer Academy, thunder rolled fiercely.

Void Sword Walker closed his eyes slightly, his spirit merging with the great array, carefully searching for that familiar trace of Qi.

As time passed, Void Sword Walker's expression grew increasingly grim.

Finally, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Did you not find it?" Xu Tian, standing beside him, also looked unwell.

"I can't find it~" Void Sword Walker took a breath. "I searched the entire academy, focusing on Ganquan Palace as well... It seems the immeasurable sword gourd must have already left the academy; otherwise, relying on the Immeasurable Demon Sealing Array, I definitely would have found it."

"What exactly is going on..." Void Sword Walker looked around with surprise and uncertainty.

This matter was too bizarre~ So bizarre that it sent a chill down his spine.

Xu Tian, beside him, also looked grim. Strictly speaking, this was the second time he had encountered such a strange incident.

Once was the dragon tiger golden elixir, and the other was the lihuo red lotus.

The Immeasurable Demon Sealing Array gradually dispersed...

This time, Cao Meng's unconsciousness after the blood sacrifice of the xuantian spirit treasure did not last long; he slowly woke up in less than half an hour.

Opening his eyes, he immediately saw the yellow gourd on the ground.

"immeasurable sword gourd!"

Cao Meng was overjoyed. He sat up, waved his hand, and the sword gourd flew into his palm.

"sword puppet, emerge!" Whoosh~

A streak of bloody light flew out from the mouth of the gourd, condensing into a Black-Robed Person before Cao Meng.

Evil Qi permeated the air, and a sharp sword hung at his waist.

Sword Demon Li Daoxuan.

However, Sword Demon Li Daoxuan's eyes were vacant at this moment, like an emotionless robot, but the condensed, unwavering Sword Intent was Chi Ling.

"A Saint Realm Sword Immortal. Not bad, haha."

At this moment, Cao Meng could clearly feel the connection between himself and the sword puppet. He only needed a single thought, and he would execute it without hesitation.

Most importantly, this guy was utterly fearless of death. Even if he were killed, he could be condensed anew through the sword gourd.

"Return!" With a thought, Sword Demon Li Daoxuan transformed into bloody light and flew back into the gourd.

Cao Meng held the gourd, and his mind entered the Sword Gourd Space.

A space shrouded in countless clear Qi appeared before him. The space was about an acre in size.

Sword Puppet Li Daoxuan sat cross-legged on a cyan cushion, where clear Qi swirled, constantly seeping into his body and strengthening his sword puppet physique.

Beside Sword Puppet Li Daoxuan, there were two identical cushions...
