Chapter 444 Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber Technique

　　When Fairy Yun Xiao left, she was helped away by Qiong Xiao. Among the immortals, she was the only one who was really drunk.

　　Before they left, Qiong Xiao muttered, “Sister, you didn’t dance like this in the past.” Li Changshou looked forward to it.

　　The normal dance was ultimately less exciting… Zhao Gongming stayed at the Black Pool Peak and chatted happily with Bai Ze. They were close friends. It seemed that they were going to eat and drink for a while.

　　As for the planner of the gathering, Ling’e… Under the willow tree beside the spiritual lake, a little fairy in the Heaven Immortal realm was lying there aggrievedly. There were two thick stone slabs beside her. She picked up a carving knife and engraved handsome words. After she finished writing, she wiped off a layer of the stone slabs. “Stupid Senior Brother, in order to make you happy, I’ve already brought my rival into the sect. Yet, you still want to punish me! Punish, punish, punish! You only know how to punish! If you have the ability, punish something else!” Li Changshou wanted to laugh when he heard that. Stop the Primordial World from warming up. Start from reducing the steam. There were still many matters to deal with, but everything had to be done one by one… It just so happened that Zhao Gongming was there. Li Changshou decided to use the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and brought the huge gourd that was white in purple to the Black Pool Peak. Bai Ze frowned and said, “Isn’t that Lu Ya’s Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber? That day, the Demon God Seal suddenly disappeared. I thought that the Goddess had taken it away.”

　　Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “I’ve seen the power of this treasure before. It’s quite powerful. Today, I have to congratulate you for obtaining a treasure.”

　　Li Changshou shook his head and said seriously, “This treasure is a little strange. I’ve tried seven or eight refinement techniques, but I still can’t order it around as I please. It’s as if this treasure is a living thing.” Bai Ze muttered softly, “Which Connate numinous treasure doesn’t have spirituality? You killed its previous owner. It’s only right for it to blame you.”

　　“Oh?”

　　Li Changshou asked, “Mr. Bai, could it be that you don’t know the details of this treasure?”

　　It was a small provocation to Bai Ze’s effective moves.

　　“Let me take a look.” Bai Ze pinched his goatee and paced back and forth beside the square table. He sized it up carefully. “Isn’t this the gourd formed from the gourd vine?” Zhao Gongming’s eyes lit up. “It’s really a treasure produced by that gourd vine!” Li Changshou was confused. Which gourd vine? Why is it so popular now?

　　If that was the case, Li Changshou would chop the gourd and see if a gourd could jump out!

　　“Can you two explain clearly?”

　　“Hahaha!”

　　Bai Ze and Zhao Gongming looked at each other and laughed. Bai Ze smiled and said, “Finally, there’s something that the Water God doesn’t know.” Zhao Gongming also said, “This treasure rarely appears in the Primordial World. It’s also rarely recorded in the books. Changshou, it’s reasonable that you don’t know. That gourd vine is also one of the top ten Connate Spirit Roots.”

　　“So you’re talking about that one.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I even said that the two of you must have a good reason for laughing. Could that gourd vine be the vine that the Goddess of Saints used to occupy the soil and shake the soil when she created humans?” Bai Ze scolded jokingly, “Is the Water God deliberately teasing me? It’s indeed that gourd vine.”

　　“Tell me in detail.” Li Changshou turned around and sat back on the round chair. “That’s all I know. I won’t joke with you.”

　　“This gourd vine even caused a huge battle in ancient times…”

　　Zhao Gongming sighed and explained what happened back then.

　　At that time, the Three Pure Ones had yet to become Saints. The Dao Ancestor was busy comprehending the ultimate profundity of the Three Corpse Sanctification.

　　The era of picking treasures in the Primordial World was simpler than eating. It had also entered the end period.

　　On the mountainside of the Buzhou Mountain, there was a cloud that would not dissipate all year round. Even Zenith Heaven would get lost if they entered. That day, the sky was suddenly filled with multicolored light. A precious treasure had appeared. All the mighty figures rushed over. However, at that time, the Three Pure Ones were already the top experts of the Primordial World. They also helped each other and had many treasures. No one dared to provoke them. The three of them stood at the front. When the treasure appeared, they would obtain the greatest benefits.

　　It was a Connate Spirit Root calabash vine with seven calabashes on it.

　　The Grand Pure One was the first to take action. He chose and plucked the first purple-gold gourd. At that time, the Grand Pure One looked a little disappointed. He shook his head and left. That was the purple-gold gourd. It was now used to store the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill in the Jade Tushita Palace.

　　The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning took away the purple-black gourd and left with a disappointed expression. The Grandmaster of Heaven took away the purple-yellow gourd and smiled. He said that it was not bad to pretend to be drunk. Clearly, he was reminding others that there was no need to fight. It was not a good thing.

　　After the three big shots pretended to leave, the various mighty figures displayed their abilities and plucked the other four gourd fruits.

　　Nuwa had obtained the purplish-green gourd and the tragic Ancestor Hong Yun had obtained the purplish-red gourd. The purplish-green gourd had disappeared during the battle, while the Emperor of the East, the Emperor of the East, had taken the purplish-white gourd.

　　It was the one in front of the three of them.

　　The Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber was a Connate numinous treasure. Lu Ya had not used its full strength previously. Zhao Gongming extended his left hand and tried to grab the mouth of the gourd. Li Changshou said, “Be careful.” Before Zhao Gongming’s left hand touched the mouth of the gourd, he retracted it. There was a trace of blood on his fingertips. Bai Ze pondered for a while and habitually pinched his fingers to deduce. Soon, he put it down resentfully and recalled carefully. “This gourd is a little strange. I had actually deduced the power of the seven-colored gourd in ancient times. It was said that the purple-white gourd contained an incomparably sharp Connate Sword Qi. It could cut the essence souls of all living beings in the world, but the gourd itself could not be controlled. For example, the purple-black gourd that is rumored to contain the aura of Chaos. I have never seen the Saint use it personally or give it to me.” Li Changshou was puzzled. “Then, why can Lu Ya use it?”

　　of the gourd. Sensing the sharpness of the gourd, blood also appeared on his fingertips. Hence, the three of them paced around the huge gourd in the simple wooden hut beside the magnificent kitchen palace where Bai Ze lived. Under Zhao Gongming’s request, Li Changshou began to try to refine the huge gourd and see how it reacted… However, Li Changshou had tried everything from the most basic method of communication with Dharma treasures to the various methods of using immortal power to activate the restrictions, to the superstitious method of binding it with blood.

　　The Immortal-Slaying Gourd did not react at all. He could not even sense any spirituality on it. Zhao Gongming said, “Why don’t we give it a try? Perhaps it’s related to that incantation.”

　　Li Changshou and Bai Ze looked at each other. Although Master Zhao’s suggestion was not technical, it was indeed worth a try. At that moment, a paper effigy carried a long-necked sheep that was pessimistic, depressed, and lost hope. It became a simple target. Li Changshou used his immortal power to carry the Immortal-Slaying Gourd to a distance. Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls flew over and made a simple protective helmet for Li Changshou. Li Changshou shouted softly, “Treasure, please turn around!”

　　Nothing happened. “Let me try.” Bai Ze took the initiative to step forward and take the huge gourd. He aimed the mouth of the gourd at the target. He took the initiative to release his aura and discussed his daily life with the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. He pulled some strings and quickly said, “Treasure, please turn around!” The huge gourd was silent and did not respond at all. “Let me try.” Zhao Gongming took the huge gourd and the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls circled around him. He exuded a righteous aura and allowed the light of the righteous path to envelop his majestic body!

　　He raised the huge gourd and aimed it at the target in front of him. Zhao Gongming’s rough voice suddenly sounded dignified. “Please! Treasure, turn around!” Silence followed…

　　Zhao Gongming said, “Treasure, please turn around!”

　　It was especially quiet…

　　“Treasure! Please turn around!”

　　Why do I feel like I can’t bear to look at him? Pfft!

　　A small wisp of white fog suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber. A wisp of white light bloomed in the white fog and wiped at Zhao Gongming’s neck. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Gongming used his Cosmic mystical ability and hurriedly dodged. The white light still cut off a portion of Zhao Gongming’s beard and shot towards the sky, causing the Black Pool Peak array formation to flicker. “Hey! I will!” Zhao Gongming widened his eyes. Numerous Sea-Calming Divine Pearls flew over and surrounded the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. Master Zhao took out a metal whip and was about to smash the lousy gourd. Fortunately, Li Changshou and Bai Ze rushed over quickly and carried Zhao Gongming back. “Brother, calm down!”

　　“Fellow Daoist Gongming, Fellow Daoist Gongming, you don’t have to get angry over a treasure.”

　　Finally, Zhao Gongming was persuaded. The three spirits faced the Connate numinous treasure gourd and began to struggle. He could not help but feel depressed.

　　“Destroy it,” Li Changshou said calmly. “Since this item cannot be used by you and me, why don’t we destroy it directly? Otherwise, it will become a hidden danger in the future.” Zhao Gongming nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Destroy it. Changgeng, you won’t lose any treasures.” Li Changshou thought, ‘I will and I really lack treasures! Bai Ze blinked at Li Changshou and asked if he was trying to scare the huge gourd or if he really wanted to destroy it. Li Changshou nodded solemnly, his killing intent already determined. “Isn’t this a little too much…”

　　Bai Ze pinched his goatee and said, “Why don’t we think about it for half a day and see if we can study this numinous treasure thoroughly before treating the problem?”

　　“That’s too dangerous,” Li Changshou said. “This treasure specializes in injuring one’s essence soul. It’s quite powerful.”

　　“This…”

　　Zhao Gongming thought for a while and suddenly clapped his hands. He said firmly, “I’ll use the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl with all my might. Changgeng, try again!” A moment later, above a lake outside the Immortal Du Sect, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls shone brightly and were surrounded by water vapor. Li Changshou and Bai Ze sat behind Zhao Gongming, while Zhao Gongming sat behind Li Changshou’s paper effigy. The paper effigy frowned and touched the mouth of the gourd with his left hand.

　　Li Changshou had used that method a long time ago. The paper effigy’s outcome was tragic. He had lost his head.

　　However, it was different this time. The paper effigy wrapped his left hand with immortal power and placed it at the mouth of the gourd. His immortal power trembled. It was an invisible and weak sword aura that was repelling his left hand.

　　When his left hand approached again, a small cloud appeared. At this moment!

　　Beams of blue light shone on the cloud, as if twenty-four small worlds were suppressing it. The cloud was directly fixed above the mouth of the gourd!

　　It was like water that was instantly frozen.

　　Li Changshou grabbed the “stopper” at the mouth of the gourd and gently pulled it out. Pop! Li Changshou and Bai Ze were tensed up. Zhao Gongming raised his hands and pointed his sword. The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls shone brightly. However, no peerless sword aura rushed out of the gourd’s mouth. Instead, it was extremely quiet…

　　Bai Ze frowned and was about to move forward when Li Changshou stopped him. Li Changshou took out a paper kite from his sleeve and let it fly past the mouth of the gourd. The paper kite was also safe and sound. “There seem to be some fine marks in here,” Zhao Gongming suddenly said. “It’s just the inside of the gourd that extends downwards.”

　　Li Changshou said in a low voice. He rode the paper effigy forward slowly. This time, he was indeed not attacked by the huge gourd. It seemed that the small cloud previously was the “self-defense program” of the huge gourd. To be safe, the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls pressed down and fixed the huge gourd. Li Changshou placed his attention on the paper effigy and began to gradually investigate the internal structure of the huge gourd. His immortal senses probed layer after layer of clouds.

　　The interior of the huge gourd was like a Minor Chiliocosm.

　　However, there seemed to be nothing unusual outside. Just like other Connate numinous treasures, it was a creation of the world and had powerful power.

　　However, when he probed carefully, Li Changshou found a hint of “unnaturalness”…

　　“Someone has refined this Connate numinous treasure again.”

　　Li Changshou suddenly said, “Are there any ancient demons who are good at refining treasures? Those who can attack Connate numinous treasures are definitely not ordinary living beings.” Bai Ze pondered for a while and said, “There are countless demons who are good at refining treasures. At that time, there was the East Imperial Bell that suppressed the Demon Court. If there is a deduction from the River Painting and the Book of Luo, it would not be difficult to split the Connate numinous treasure.”

　　Zhao Gongming muttered, “Why do we have to split the Connate numinous treasures? Was the Demon Court already so wealthy back then? “Oh my, I didn’t meet Brother Changgeng at that time. Otherwise, I would have gone to the Sun Palace and lied down!”

　　“If it’s a Connate numinous treasure that can be used, I believe no one will be willing to give it up,” Li Changshou analyzed. “But what if this numinous treasure can’t be used? It’s just a decoration. Why don’t we refine it again?” Zhao Gongming nodded and smiled. Li Changshou seemed to have realized something and said, “Gentlemen, step back.” At that moment, Bai Ze, Zhao Gongming, and Li Changshou’s main body took two steps back. Li Changshou’s paper effigy seemed to have discovered something. He slowly inserted a finger into the mouth of the gourd. The surrounding water-blue light shone brightly, and the power of the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl was unleashed.

　　Crack!

　　The paper effigy paused and slowly retracted his finger.

　　A neat crack appeared on the top half of the purple-white gourd. The gourd that looked perfect exploded. That explosion made Li Changshou’s Dao heart tremble. The corners of Bai Ze’s mouth trembled. After the gourd exploded, tiny wooden deeds floated around the gourd like rings of dust outside the stars.

　　He was naturally enveloped by immortal power. At that moment, the full appearance of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber appeared in their eyes.

　　The bottom half of the huge gourd was filled with a light white aura that contained a wisp of Connate Sword Qi. That was the power of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber. The wisp of Connate Sword Qi was sealed under layers of exquisite restrictions. Above the restrictions, there was a sphere of black and red light. Under the sphere of light, there was a palm-sized golden cage. If the cage was enlarged, one could see that the structure of the cage seemed to be a golden hall. There was only a stone pillar in the golden hall, and a light white figure was suppressed on the pillar. It was unknown if the figure was alive or dead. It seemed to have sensed that someone was spying on it from outside. It suddenly looked up and glared at the outside!

　　His facial features were identical to Daoist Lu Ya’s when he used the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber.

　　Bai Ze shouted, “Great Magus’s Soul Essence! The Soul Essence of Da Yi!”

　　Li Changshou was confused. He looked at Zhao Gongming and was speechless. “So this is the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber.” Zhao Gongming shook his head and sighed. “No wonder it’s so powerful. It can cut off Changgeng’s Lightning Escape. He had captured the essence of the ancient Great Magus Da Yi and used the Connate Sword Qi in the gourd as an arrow. No wonder… Let’s not talk about whether it’s too cruel or not. To be able to come up with such a treasure, the Demon Court was really powerful back then.” Li Changshou frowned and said, “The two of you, there are two problems in front of us now.” Bai Ze was puzzled. “Why?” Li Changshou said, “The first problem is whether we can communicate with Da Yi and whether we can use the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber. If we can’t use it, we can think of a way to destroy those restrictions. The second problem is… Mr. Bai, are you sure you can fix it?”

　　“Although it’s very difficult, I can give it a try… Ah, that’s not right!”

　　Bai Ze glared at him. “You were the one who wanted to dismantle it. Why do you want me to put it back? I’m a strategist. I’m not a skilled craftsman!”

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “Mr. Bai, look at how rough my brother is among the three of us. I’m not good at refining artifacts and treasures. Only you are knowledgeable. You have dabbled in everything. Of course, you will do it.”

　　“Ah.” Bai Ze shook his head and pinched his goatee. He began to think about the upper body of the “gourd” that had turned into thousands of pieces.

　　Li Changshou began to ponder about the golden cage. It would be best if the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber could be used by him. The key to this should be the Dayi Soul Essence in the Golden Hall.

　　Da Yi…

　　Heng’e?

　　There was a beauty on the moon. Her name was known in the Three Realms.

　　In the cold palace under the Connate Spirit Root Osmanthus Tree, a beautiful figure leaned against the railing and stood in front of the clear pool that had stopped flowing. She looked at the magnificent world of the five continents and fell into a daze.
