Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 933 - 482: Glazed Cave Heaven (Part 2)

Xing Yuanzhi smiled bitterly,

"Big brother really has an extraordinary Immortal Fate, attracting so many elders to associate with you, like ordering dishes, truly enviable to others...

But I worry that with so many factions within the sect, people’s hearts are hard to predict, entrusting the wrong person could ruin everything instead.

If it’s really as big brother said, a matter concerning the sect’s survival, at least it requires gathering the eight major elders of Qingtang to decide. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

It’s just that currently, the Hundred True Conference is being held on Balcony Peak, where the True Beings of Hebei gather, and all the elders have gone to attend, I’m afraid..."

"Oh, I see why you’re so confident and let me break into the mountain. Truly worthy of being a Daoist Lord, everything planned flawlessly, not a single oversight..."

Tie Dan understood immediately, naturally knowing that the Qingtang Fairies would definitely not miss such a social banquet, already ensnared with a slight scheme. Thinking of rescuing someone under the eyes of a Daoist Lord is pointless, by the time the meeting’s over, it would be too late, so he shrugged,

"Forget it then, I’m leaving. Just tell your master that what she entrusted to me didn’t work out, fend for yourselves."

Xing Yuanzhi blinked, taking the opportunity to press her face against Tie Dan’s chest,

"Though Yuanzhi doesn’t know what big matter it is, big brother, you’ll surely protect me, right?"

Tie Dan lifted her jade wrist reaching towards his waist, pressed on her meridian, and pinched his fingers in calculation,

"Alright, your natural talent is indeed not bad, and crucially your fate is tough enough, if you truly survive this trial, you may come to Nine Yin Mountain for an interview."

Xing Yuanzhi abruptly looked up,

"Hey, are you serious? Is the mountain-breaking sect extermination that severe?"

Tie Dan chuckled,

"Do you think I’m joking with you? Look, the Cloud Platform Secret Letter is here, hand it to your master personally, believe it or not."

Regardless, having delivered the message to this point was fulfilling enough, Tie Dan intended to disengage and go back to help Tang Tong reverse his fate.

Unexpectedly, Xing Yuanzhi suddenly grabbed him, shouting playfully,

"Ah! Big, big brother, don’t be like this... Why so impatient! The first time is so rough... If you’re in such a hurry, it won’t work... Hmm, let’s plan this out slowly, shall we..."

Tie Dan furrowed his brows momentarily, unsure of what trick she was playing suddenly, but it wasn’t the time to dwell, he just asked in a low voice,

"I don’t have time to dally with you, if you have any way, just say, how exactly do I get inside?"

As if pierced by Tie Dan utilizing high-level Sword Control Internal Power, secret transmission was directed straight to her ears, reaching the inner skull, Xing Yuanzhi trembled all over, her eyes rolled back, resisting the stimulation while gasping sheepishly,

"Ah... huh... there are three holes inside, find the innermost, narrowest passage to enter, hmm... don’t dally against the walls, they’re filthy and unbearable... hmm, you must pass nine twists and eighteen turns, all the way to the deepest part, hmm... this path I haven’t forged before, afraid I can’t take it, big brother, don’t worry about me, just go straight in, push all the way, even if you break through..."

"Scoundrel! In the tranquil land of the Daoist Sect! What are adulteress and adulterer doing here! Such disgrace!"

Suddenly, the door burst open, and an elderly woman stormed in, wielding a threatening stick to separate the pair. Apparently, some eavesdroppers, incensed with jealousy and resentment, had secretly notified the disciplinary matron.

Tie Dan glanced sideways, glaring at the matron, but hadn’t thought of an excuse yet. Xing Yuanzhi suddenly turned fierce, lunging forward.

With a swift leg kick, she propelled herself, landing a kick to the old woman, slamming her into the wall instantly, curling up like a shrimp, her face ashen and blood spurting from her mouth and nose, clearly beyond saving.

"Oh dear, don’t be angry, big brother~~"

Even as she yelled jokingly, Xing Yuanzhi crouched down by the matron, suddenly clawing with five fingers, scraping off the matron’s face with a ripping sound.

At this moment, a faint gasp emanated from behind the door, but Xing Yuanzhi didn’t even glance, immediately flicking her five fingers, flinging a flying knife with a casual toss.

The gleam flashed, the blade spun, slitting the throat of the monk hiding behind the door in one stroke, with hot blood gushing under the corridor, flooding the floor.

"Ouch, it’s all over!"

Yet Xing Yuanzhi remained unfacedly shameless, clasping her throat while listening closely to ensure no other presence before elegantly twirling her slender fingers, using Qi Manipulation to tug the wind-born silk threads, retrieving the flying knife and freshly peeled mask.

Then she slapdash the mask onto her face, drawing a talisman between her brows, sprang into Tie Dan’s arms, piggybacking like a koala, and whispered,

"Put on the face, rush inside."

"Alright!"

This girl, so bold and decisive, though a bit ruthless, rather suited Tie Dan’s taste, without hesitation, letting Xing Yuanzhi stick the human skin mask on his face with her spells, scooping her up by the waist, unleashed the Formless Sword Ball around him, and soared straight to the top of the Glazed Cliff.

Glazed, also called Liuli, the Five-Colored Stone, glowing brightly beyond other jade, is essentially crystal formed by high-temperature firing. Though it’s still unknown what ’natural phenomenon’ produced such a huge piece of glass at the Glazed Cliff, its shiny appearance naturally drew the affection of female cultivators.

Even the Ancestor Qingtan couldn’t resist worldliness, occupying this place as a Daoist field, later refined over years by generations of Qingtang Sect Masters. Over time, it was refined into a magic treasure. From a distance, the crystal wall of Glazed Cliff gleamed with countless talismanic seals and runes, each gold character flickering and leaping within the crystal, with five-colored brilliance, shimmering fluid glow, crystal clear, dazzling. Like a neon, continuously changing, occasionally casting a bright glow illuminating the landscape.

Having integrated the Nine Luminaries and perfected Qi Gong to its peak, Tie Dan gazed upon the array to discern that its principle was based on injecting Taiji Five Qi into the outer wall of Glazed Cliff in a loop, emitting Divine Light at intervals, scanning like radar able to reveal hidden figures within a ten-mile radius, leaving demons no place to hide. Once detecting foreign invasion, the array could be activated to retaliate and also alert and summon aid from various peaks of Wangwu.

However, the Inner Sect Disciples of Qingtang naturally had secret codes to avoid triggering alarms during daily comings and goings, with Xing Yuanzhi in his arms softly chanting the codes, secretly pinching a magic spell, so even being swept by the Glazed Light wouldn’t trigger the mechanism.

Currently, only Outer Door disciples remained in Qingtang Sect, so naturally, no one could see through Tie Dan’s Invisible, Shapeless, Formless Sword. Thus the two smoothly passed the first level, soaring directly up to the top of the Glazed Cliff.

Passing through the five-colored clouds, lifting his gaze, the Glazed Cliff peak revealed Taoist Temple pavilions, Immortal mansions, layers upon layers of Qing Palace residences, boundless celestial abodes. Heavy Immortal glow, covering and obscuring, behind the nine-color skies, revealed three grotto heavens hidden within the lush back mountain forest. Three stone tablets by the entrance, sequentially inscribed with "Jade Flower Vermilion Pill," "Jade Juice Pure Realm," "Kun Cang Netherworld."

Xing Yuanzhi incessantly chanted curses en route, signaling with her eyes. Fortunately, Tie Dan was smart, remembered the earlier mention of entering through the innermost of the three holes, and immediately slashed the door open with his sword, crashing into the Glazed Cave Heaven!
