Chapter 11 - The Purple Shadow of the Sword of God

　　In the woods, the four masters of Yi Garden were standing in the air in four directions, ready to force that Ghost Immortal to manifest at all costs. Only to see the four people's bodies, instantly erupted with different colors of light, but all of them were dominated by the color Xuanqing. One of them, Ziyang Zhenran, had a greenish-red glow erupting around his body, while Master Jingyue and Qianyuan were both filled with a basaltic-green colored glow. The radiance around the Xuan Yin Realist's body became green with black in it, sandwiching the aura of the Demon Slaying Sword within it. 　　Only to see the four groups of light of the four people, slowly in mid-air contact fusion, and finally formed a group of blankets covering the entire forest of XuanYin color atmosphere. In mid-air, xuan yin real person holding a sword, one hand twisting the seal magic skill, mouth shouted: "yin and yang five elements, qian kun eight trigrams, open my heavenly eye, all things manifest!" Said, only see xuan yin real person double eyebrows, instantly shot out a green light, a round fissure in the green light flashes, just like an eye in general. 　　The heavenly eye on the head of the Xuan Yin real person flashed with dazzling green light, and instantly that beam of green light struck the sword in the hand of the Xuan Yin real person. At that instant, the sword in the hand of Real Xuan Yin instantly emitted a green colored light, instantly illuminating all the surrounding space. All of a sudden, only a black ghostly shadow was seen hiding in that cold pool, and it was none other than that Ghost Immortal just now. 　　Lu Yun and Zhang Ao Xue looked at the Xuan Yin Realist who was casting spells in mid-air, and both of them had a look of amazement in their eyes. Especially Lu Yun, how could he have never imagined that the original Taoist Heavenly Eyes could be used in this way? In terms of the Heavenly Eyes that he had cultivated into, it was usually just that beam of light that was used to find things that were hidden. He had never thought that he could use the blue-colored light that could make all the demons appear, and he could use the sword to do so. It was really an eye-opening experience, and I learned another trick. 　　At this time, the ghost fairy has felt that he has been discovered, but not flash out, want to escape from the four people's siege situation. Xuan Yin real four people from the same door, join hands with each other, very harmonious, match seamlessly. See the ghost fairy rise up, at once two powerful sword awn, a green and a red instantly chopped out, aimed at the ghost fairy chopped out. At the same time, the other two sword awns attacked the Ghost Immortal from below, wanting to destroy it in mid-air. 　　The Ghost Immortal let out a stern roar, and his body instantly flipped rapidly, flashing at high speeds with a frequency of six thousand four hundred times per instant. The figure that was so fast that the naked eye couldn't see it, due to its speed being too fast, it looked like it wasn't moving instead, very strange. Ghost Immortal green eyes constantly shot out green gas aura, instantly built a layer of green gas shield on the periphery of the body, very beautiful, but full of danger. 　　The four of them joined hands, and the light around them flowed, and in the blink of an eye, a thick and incomparably colorful gas shield was formed, making Zhang Aoxue and Lu Yun on the ground unable to see clearly what was going on inside that gas shield. The two of them could only see a colorful air mass that surrounded the four masters of Yi Garden and the ghost immortal, the colorful air mass changed from time to time, and a burst of roaring sound was emitted from inside, which appeared that the battle between the two sides was very intense. 　　Suddenly, a ball of black light instantly erupted out, only to see the four silhouettes instantly retreating away. Xuan Yin Realist and Jing Yue Master and the other four, each of them had a pale face and a shocked expression, obviously greatly surprised at such an outcome. How could they not expect that this legendary Ghost Immortal would be so powerful? At this moment, that Ghost Immortal was also roaring harshly, and the black light around it instantly dimmed a lot. Obviously, although it had shaken the four away, it had also suffered a great deal of damage itself, and its main body had been attacked quite severely. 　　The four Xuan Yin real people looked at each other and all nodded slightly, and the four of them once again appeared around the Ghost Immortal. Four incomparably powerful sword awnings, instantly clamped with the aura of tearing everything apart, became four pillars of light, and intersected into a single point in mid-air. At that moment, from that intersection erupted a five-colored light, instantly the ghost immortal, trapped in a six-foot space. 　　The Ghost Immortal seemed to have sensed the crisis as well, and the black airflow surged rapidly, transforming into countless tiny black shadows, forming a black air shield around it. At the same time, countless green auras clamped with an eerie and incomparable Qi, ruthlessly hitting the five-colored light formed by the four people. Only to see countless green light flashed through, the five-colored light outside the ghost immortal, instantly dimmed, obviously eroded by the green aura's sinister gas, is rapidly becoming weaker. 　　Xuan Yin real face changed slightly, shouted: "Ao Xue, quickly out of the sword, the opportunity is rare, quick!" As the words fell, a purple light rose up to the sky, instantly covering up all the light of that blazing sun. The entire forest was shrouded in a purple curtain of light, and all the black ghost qi around instantly disappeared. Zhang Ao Xue rose up, and the divine sword erupted with an intense and incomparable purple light, drifting down from above the heads of Xuan Yin Zenith and the other four. Only to see Zhang Ao Xue holding the sword in his right hand, his body instantly spun rapidly in mid-air, the divine sword in his hand instantly transformed into a purple dragon, aiming at that Ghost Immortal to slash away. 　　Feeling the crisis, the ghost immortal's whole body instantly shrunk, instantly turning into a black ball of light the size of an inch diameter. At the same time, this black ball of light was dodging in the narrow space at a frequency of 9,600 times per instant, hoping to avoid the divine sword's attack. 　　Lu Yun looked at the black ball of light, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes, this Ghost Immortal was really powerful, with the four experts of Yi Garden joining hands, they were unable to do anything with it. This time, if it wasn't for Zhang Aoxue's coincidental acquisition of the divine Sword, I was afraid that there was no way to deal with this Ghost Immortal. Lu Yun opened his eyes wide, only to see Zhang Ao Xue descend into the air, the purple dragon shadow instantly engulfed the black ball of light, there was a strange sound and roar, the whole forest looked eerie and weird. Only to see a ball of black gas suddenly erupted, followed instantly by the purple divine sword was split into pieces, slowly dissipating into the air. 　　Lu Yun's mind moved at this moment, and his Intentional Divine Wave instantly fluctuated at a high speed with a frequency of thirteen thousand six hundred times per instant. A trace of black aura instantly shot towards that cold pool, and although this trace of aura was extremely weak, Lu Yun still detected that it was none other than that Ghost Immortal's aura. It was really unexpected that it had even escaped with its life in such a situation, even though its vitality was greatly injured, it still escaped, it was really not simple, it deserved to be the most powerful ghost creature in the Ghost Domain. 　　Zhang Ao Xue's white clothes like snow, gently floating down, his expression was light and elegant, without a hint of fluctuation, he couldn't see any happy appearance. And the four courtyard masters of Yi Garden, also all floated down, all four of them showed a trace of heavy worry on their faces, quietly looking at that cold pool. 　　Qian Yuan Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice, ''This Ghost Immortal is really different from mortal thoughts, this time, although because of the divine sword in Ao Xue's hand to help, it was eliminated. But this one passageway has obviously been opened, we have to find a way to seal it before we can do so. Here Xuan Yin Senior Brother is the most expert in this area, does Senior Brother have any solutions?" 　　As the words fell, all three of their gazes shifted to Realist Xuan Yin's face, quietly waiting for him to speak. Gently approaching the cold pool, Xuan Yin Zhen Zhen Zhen's gaze gazed into the pool, his expression slightly hesitant as he said, "Regarding the matter of sealing, I do know quite a lot. But this time, the ghost qi is extremely heavy, I'm afraid that normal seals can't last, so I need to use this sect's 'Yi Tian Soul Shocking Technique' to have any hope of sealing it. However, as you all know, this 'Yi Tian Soul Shocking Technique' cannot be easily performed without the consent of Senior Brother Xuan Yu, so I was unable to make a decision for a while. Plus without our sect's 'Yi Tian Ruler' in hand, casting it out would also be much weaker." 　　Zi Yang Zhen Zhen said softly, "At this time, senior brother is not here, we only have to discuss it ourselves, this matter I believe is that if senior brother comes back, he will not be blamed. So you just cast it, if senior brother blames it, we will bear it together." As soon as these words came out, the other two also agreed in unison. 　　Daoist Xuan Yin looked at the three of them and softly said, "Alright then, I'll do my best to cast it, and hopefully I can seal this place. When Elder Brother returns, it will have to be sealed again once more to be safe." Saying this, the whole man instantly rose into mid-air and slowly began to gather true essence around his body, a strange Xuanqing colored light, flashing with a dazzling brilliance, gathering thicker and thicker above the cold pool. 　　Lu Yun looked at the four Yi Yuan experts, and finally did not say the ghost immortal thing, just gently walked to Zhang Aoxue side, and together with her watched the Xuan Yin real person to perform that "Yi Tian Soul Shocking Skill"! Lu Yun softly asked: "Senior sister, just now uncle Xuan Yin said that what is the 'Easy Heaven Soul Shocking Technique', how come I've been here for a year and have never heard of it?" 　　Zhang Ao Xue lightly glanced at him, gently looking back at the mid-air Xuan Yin Master, she spoke, "That is one of the four secret techniques of this Sect, disciples who have just come here are unaware of it. In addition to the four courtyards each having a set of mysterious and incomparable sword techniques, this sect also has four major secret techniques. These four secret techniques are generally unknown to the general public, that is the foundation of this sect, is for thousands of years, standing in the world's cultivation world is the real reason for constant victory. These four secret techniques cannot be easily performed without the consent of the Master Teacher." 　　When Lu Yun heard this, his heart was slightly shaken, it was unexpected that this Yi Garden even had secret techniques that were not known to the public, it was no wonder that it was able to spread its fame amongst the countless cultivation sects. Looking carefully at the mid-air, he only saw that the Xuan Yin Realist's body was surrounded by bursts of green color, instantly shrouded with a layer of green light all around, making it look extraordinarily strange. That surrounded by the XuanYin true essence, at this time began to fluctuate layer by layer, the speed is soaring, turn the eye is so fast that you can't see clearly. 　　At this moment, the air currents in the woods began to converge towards Real Person Xuan Yin, and with the fluctuation of that True Element, Lu Yun felt that the entire earth was trembling. As he watched Real Person Xuan Yin's entire being enveloped in green light, the surrounding true essence, gradually transforming into countless spells and incantations, began to fly towards that cold pool. Countless multicolored talismans and spells, layer by layer, scene by scene superimposed, slowly above the cold pool, forming a yin and yang gossip pattern. That yin and yang eight trigrams are rotating rapidly, emitting a red and a green two kinds of light, reflecting the cold pool of blue water bright. Countless spiritual qi began to converge there, forming a spiritual qi knot of symbols and marks, gently rotating. Finally saw that the spirit seal and yin and yang eight trigrams overlap, slowly shrinking, gently fell in the cold pool. When that spirit seal fell to the bottom of the pool, immediately a green and red light, instantly shot straight up into the clouds. 　　Xuan Yin Zhenren was in mid-air, his face slightly white, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes as he slowly fell down. Glancing at the few people beside him, he softly said, "Finally living up to our expectations, it seems that we can temporarily seal it for a while, when senior brother comes back, we can just seal it once more." 　　Qian Yuan Zhenren smiled and said, "Senior brother you are also tired, let's go back first. As for the origin of the divine sword in Ao Xue's hand, we'd better go back and talk about it." After saying that, he smiled faintly, his body instantly rose up with his sword, a green light flashed and disappeared in an instant. Immediately followed by five more flashes of light, all of a sudden the woods returned to calm. 　　Returning to the Yi Garden, the six of them came to Realist Xuan Yin's place and sat together in the room. At this time, Lin Yunfeng had already recovered some of his vitality, and sensing that the six had returned, he also walked in, gently sitting beside Lu Yun and looking at everyone. 　　At this time, everyone's eyes were gathered on Zhang Ao Xue, and Master Jing Yue opened his mouth, "Ao Xue, in front of everyone, why don't you tell us how this sword was obtained?" 　　Zhang Ao Xue glanced around and said with a calm expression, "Back to master, this sword was obtained in that forest, that cold pool. A few days ago, I was practicing my sword alone outside the courtyard, when I inadvertently realized that in that forest, there was a hint of purple light faintly revealed. Out of curiosity, I went to check it out and found a purple light in the cold pool. At that time, I did not know what that purple light was, and thought it was some kind of spiritual treasure, and then after three hours of quiet vigilance, I realized that it was a precious sword. At that time that precious sword into a purple dragon, in the pool moving rapidly, from time to time fly out of the water, the disciple thought a lot of ways, only to draw it out. But just since love disciple to get his hands on it, by the Yin courtyard of Lin Yunfeng senior disciple unintentionally appeared, startled away that sword. It wasn't until today when disciple saw that purple light appear again that he once again traveled and with a lot of effort, he was able to finally obtain this precious sword." 　　The masters of the four courtyards of Qian Kun Yin Yang looked at each other with a hint of amazement in their eyes. The Xuan Yin Master spoke, "It seems that the calamity has arrived, according to what Ao Xue said, this sword must have been a divine artifact used to suppress that place's demonic energy back then. No wonder this sword can restrain that ghost immortal and make it jealous. Unfortunately, after many years, the seal there must have been damaged, so this sword will be transformed into a dragon and come out. At the same time, it is also a sign that the tribulation will come back to earth. All of this is a foregone conclusion, the fact that Ao Xue can obtain this sword also shows that this sword has a destiny with her, and in the future, perhaps it will lend Ao Xue's hand to display its divine power and cut down the demons and eliminate the devils." 　　Master Jing Yue said, "Ao Xue, since you are fortunate enough to obtain this divine sword this time, then in the future you should cultivate well and try your best to improve your cultivation, so that you can contribute more to the world in the future. At the same time, you should also strive for more glory for our sect, to promote our sect and enhance our Yi Yuan's status in the cultivation world. When Master Sect Leader returns, then Master Sect Leader will appraise the origin of this sword, now there is no more business for you juniors here, you guys go down first, we still have some things to discuss." 　　Zhang Ao Xue nodded slightly and got up to leave. Lin Yunfeng also pulled Lu Yun's hand and quickly followed behind Zhang Ao Xue, leaving the room. After leaving the door, Lin Yunfeng spoke, "Lu Yun, walk over to my place and sit for a while, I haven't seen you for a year, I still have so many things I want to say to you. Just go. Senior sister is not going to go." After saying that, she pulled Lu Yun towards her room. Lu Yun glanced at that moving back, a hint of contemplation faintly appearing in his eyes. Unfortunately, Ben Lin Yunfeng soon pulled away. 　　Lin Yunfeng closed the door and said softly, ''I haven't seen you for a year, you're really something, you've actually cultivated the Yang Academy's greatest skill, the Big Dipper Sword Technique, to the eighth level, it's really unbelievable. According to your speed, I'm afraid that in another two years, you will be able to surpass that Li Hongfei and Ao Xue senior sister. Hey, hey, not bad, promising. When that time comes, you'll then chase our Yi Garden's most beautiful senior sister Ao Xue into your hands, haha, you'll have everything then." 　　Lu Yun glared at him and said, "You, your body hasn't even recovered yet, so you're talking nonsense here, be careful I'll beat you up so much that you won't be able to get well. Let me ask you, that Yin Yang Dharma Sword you performed today, where did you learn it from, it's strangely powerful, that's not our Yi Garden's stance. Tell me honestly, when did you learn it, did you learn it from that master of yours before you came here?" 　　Lin Yunfeng's eyes rolled, a hee hee smile appeared on his face, somewhat blinking, he said, "Hee hee, this is my unique stance, if it wasn't for saving you, I wouldn't have performed it so easily. Well don't talk about this, let's talk about something else, how about talking about Senior Sister Ao Xue?" He said with a hefty laugh. 　　Lu Yun had a strange smile on his face and said softly, "Don't you give me the king gu left and right, quickly say how you learned your Yin Yang magic sword, if you don't give an honest account today, I won't let you off easily. I'll see if you have something, something unknown hidden from me. Is it possible that your master gave you everything you learned before you came here. He let you come here, apart from learning the Demon Slaying Sword here, it was mainly so that you could have a good environment so that you could secretly cultivate your own techniques, am I right?" 　　Lin Yunfeng's face changed slightly as he looked at Lu Yun with a surprised expression and said softly, "No way, you're so powerful, you know everything. Hehehe, I'm afraid you're not a human being, you're a god, you know astronomy from above and geography from below even with your eyes closed, it's really powerful, I admire it." 　　Lu Yun laughed, "You kid don't look for words without words, quickly and honestly, I don't want to listen to your nonsense. There are only two of us, quickly tell the truth! If you don't say it again, you have to be careful, if I slip up in a moment of unhappiness and someone else finds out, then don't blame me." A smile appeared on Lu Yun's face, looking extremely uncomfortable in Lin Yunfeng's heart. 　　Lin Yunfeng glared at him fiercely and said helplessly, "Forget it, since you can see it, I'll tell you, there's nothing to keep secret anyway. In fact, what you said is basically correct, I did come here because I wanted to find a good place to learn the 'Demon Slaying and Demon Destroying Sword' here while raising my cultivation to learn all of the spells that my master has taught me." 　　Lu Yun smiled, "Seeing that you are still honest, let me ask you one more thing. Today, your master, Xuan Yin Zhenzhen, after combining his efforts to destroy that Ghost Immortal, he once performed a set of magical techniques called 'Yi Tian Soul Shocking Technique', which was very powerful, I wonder if you know about this set of techniques? I heard my senior sister once mention that there are four secret techniques in our Yi Garden, I don't know if you know about it, I'm not good at asking my senior sister, so I'm asking you." 　　Lin Yunfeng's face was slightly happy, his eyes were glowing as he looked at Lu Yun, "Did you really see master perform that 'Soul Vibrating Technique' today? How powerful is it, quickly tell me about it." After saying that, he had a look of eagerness on his face, obviously caring about this very much. 　　Lu Yun looked at him with a hint of a smile in his eyes, and gently told him what happened after he left, carefully. Finally speaking, he said, "It looks like you know the four secret techniques of our Yi Garden, it's really not simple. Since you know everything, now it's time for you to speak." 　　Lin Yunfeng looked at Lu Yun and said softly, "Of course I know about this matter, in fact, let me tell you, the reason why I know this is because of my master. My master calls himself the Ghost Master, but actually, what is his true identity, do you know? I'm afraid you can't imagine. His real name is Master Xuan Ghost, and he is the Junior Master of this Yi Yuan Sect Headmaster, and he is also the Senior Brother of this current Master of mine, Master Xuan Yin." 　　When Lu Yun heard this, his face was slightly surprised, and he said softly, "This is really surprising, I can't imagine that you have such a master, no wonder he wanted you to come back here. Then why did your master leave here?" 　　Lin Yunfeng hemmed and hawed and laughed, "I heard my master unconsciously mention it once, saying that back then, he was very close to the Xuan Yin Realist. That time, in order to elect a master for the Yin Academy, they let my two masters compete to see who had the highest cultivation. The former master, for the sake of the relationship between the two, automatically left and traveled the world alone. The master said that after he left this place, he once, unintentionally, in a remote cave, got a yellowed ancient book, which recorded a lot of secret methods of catching ghosts and demons. Since then, the master alone began to carefully specialize in, and I learned all this, are from that ancient book contained. After I finished learning, the master asked me to come here, while learning the Yi Garden's stunts, while practicing the secret methods in that ancient book. Master said that my cultivation was still shallow, and without a good place to cultivate, it would be difficult to make much progress, so I came here." 　　Lu Yun smiled with a strange smile on his face as he heard this, it was unexpected that he actually had a few things in common with himself, perhaps this was fate. Lu Yun asked again, "Then for the four secret techniques of the Yi Garden, you must be very clear about them, so tell me about them, and also let me know more about the situation here." 　　Lin Yunfeng looked around and saw that the doors of the rooms were all closed tightly before he whispered, "This matter is a secret of the Yi Garden, ordinary people don't know about it. Just like you, you've been here for a year and still don't know anything. The feelings between us, it's no problem to tell you that, but you mustn't talk nonsense, lest those four house masters of this sect know about it, then it won't be fun. I heard my master say before he broke up that there are four major secret techniques in Yi Garden, but there are actually only three that are truly useful. Of these three secret techniques, there is the 'Yi Tian Soul Shocking Technique' of the Yin Courtyard, the 'Mountain Splitting Technique' of the Qian Courtyard and the 'Cloud Splitting Technique' of the Kun Courtyard. These three secret techniques were all the Yi Yuan's mountain-supporting mastery, and generally could not be easily performed in front of outsiders. That's why regular people only know that Yi Yuan has four major sword techniques, but they don't know that Yi Yuan has four major magic techniques." 　　Lu Yun sniffed and said softly, "Why is it that the other three academies have secret techniques and we, the Yang Academy, are the only ones who don't have any?" 　　Lin Yunfeng laughed, "Actually, your Yang Courtyard also has a secret technique, but unfortunately, no one has ever practiced it in the thousand years since the Yi Garden was established, so no one mentions the secret technique anymore. It is said that the stance is called the 'Five Thunders Positive Heavenly Skill', and no one has ever practiced it, so it is now kept in the Yang Courtyard's Book Pavilion." 　　When Lu Yun heard this, his expression moved slightly, it was unexpected that the original technique he was looking for was in the Yang Courtyard. Looking at Lin Yunfeng, Lu Yun laughed, "So we still have these stunts in our Yi Garden... I can't imagine that our Yang Courtyard has a secret technique that no one has ever practiced before. I'll have to check it out sometime, maybe I can even learn something?" 　　Lin Yunfeng laughed, "If you're this powerful, you can go and take a look, but it's best not to let anyone know. Because these four secret techniques are not freely passed on to disciples with the disciples under them, generally other than the successor of the next academy master, other disciples are unable to learn them. So if I want to learn that Soul Shocking Skill, it's not going to be easy. Well, let's work hard together, and hopefully we'll have a chance to participate in the Six Courts Martial Arts Conference a year from now." 　　Lu Yun smiled, "Alright, work hard, you should work hard too, I hope that a year from now, you'll be able to learn something, and we'll be famous together and proud of the world!" After saying that, he patted his shoulder and left with a smile.
