Life-Taking Continuous Three Immortals Sword
The relevant officials from the regulatory department had arrived in advance and were waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing the two individuals, and especially after realizing that they had already condensed their Golden Core at such a young age, and that these were not ordinary Golden Core, their attitude became even more favorable.
"Since the two young leaders have come to inspect, how can we cooperate?" the middle-aged Daoist priest asked with a smile.
Xiao Ji yawned and cut to the chase. "You're in charge of this area, right?"
"In our Pine Peak area, the Blessed Land Order is in charge," the Daoist official said awkwardly.
"Oh right, you guys are broke, you don't even have a prefecture lord."
The truth is always so painful; the official could only manage a dry laugh.
"Then go and invite the local Blessed Land Deity to come over in your name. We'll discuss the rest after he arrives. Remember, maintain single-line communication and don't alert anyone. I will monitor you 24/7 using monitoring Law Artifact. Of course, after this matter is over, if I have violated any regulations, you can report it to your superiors."
Qian Xiao Long said seriously.
The official, who was familiar with the department's style of operation, immediately became serious.
"In addition, prepare an office for us, with the following requirements: contact Law Artifact for all relevant local departments, recording Law Artifact, and a meeting recorder."
"Yes!"
After preparing the office space, Qian Xiao Long sat down and took out a piece of paper and a pen. He meticulously wrote down the names of the officials and leaders of the relevant local departments, clearly indicating that he had made thorough preparations.
"It's such a small matter, why are you making such a big deal out of it? You're making a mountain out of a molehill."
Xiao Ji pouted, plopped down on the sofa with a nonchalant air, and picked up her phone to examine the "borderline" photos she had taken.
But before I could look at it for long, the paper was handed to me.
"Take a look and see if there are any omissions," Qian Xiao Long said earnestly.
"How old-fashioned. In my opinion, we should just storm onto that guy surnamed Hu's doorstep and make him bow down in worship." The girl rolled her eyes, but still accepted the offer.
"When it's impossible to determine whether the person under investigation is concealing their cultivation level or whether they have connections with high-level cultivators, preliminary investigation is crucial."
"Furthermore, when it's unclear whether the person under investigation has underground support or is a gang leader, it's necessary to go through the local Heavenly Gate network to carry out any potential arrests."
"During the post-incident review, all relevant processes must undergo internal review by the corresponding department..."
"Alright, alright, stop chanting. It sounds like you're reciting a sutra," the girl said, giving the other person a disdainful look.
"How did someone as rigid and serious as you manage to master the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin? Doesn't the sword spirit find you boring?"
"Won't."
"..."
Although Xiao Ji is not very old, he is a veteran and can check whether anything is missing with just a scan.
"Okay, no problem."
However, one thing did catch her attention.
"Are the local Daoist soldiers Chuma Dao Soldiers? This type of Daoist soldier is quite rare."
Compared to reconnaissance departments like the Demon Suppression Bureau and the Demon Subjugation Bureau, the Daoist soldiers are the military force of the New Heavenly Gate, and they are generally not used unless there are special circumstances.
"Without our investigative authority, we are not authorized to mobilize the local military police, unless Minister Hong applies for it."
Qian Xiao Long continued in a very formal and measured manner.
"It was just a casual question, why are you making such a fuss? Why would I go on a mission with someone like you?"
Xiao Ji pouted.
"Alright, alright, let's just follow the procedures for the investigation, okay? This is a waste of manpower and resources, bureaucracy!"
Hu Mang probably didn't expect that someone would make such a big fuss to investigate him. In fact, after dealing with Huang Jiayou, he stayed at home obediently and studied Boss Gu's Golden Nature Notebook.
Ultimately, he wasn't the one involved in the smuggling, nor was he the one researching the underground Dragon Vein. In fact, if we bring up the old demonic infant refining incident again, he's probably a victim as well.
As for the so-called "anatomical studies," that's all just a load of rubbish.
Even if, hypothetically, no one else besides him could comprehend the "Dragon-Shaped Meridian Diagram," he would most likely be granted the status of a first-level protected demon by the Heavenly Gate.
Oh, he was originally a first-class protected demon.
Therefore, the Hu Mang remained quite calm.
Even his mother, who was chattering away in the morning about what to do, started going out to chat with the old neighbors in the afternoon, showing her carefree attitude.
As for the Huang Jiayou, that's even simpler.
Throughout history, these kinds of "subordinates rebelling against their superiors" have always been about who has more money, who has more people, and who is more willing to go all out in critical moments. There is no such thing as a genius who can calculate everything.
Even in the famous bloody palace coup during the Liang Dynasty's revival, where the son rebelled against the father, in the end, it was Xie Xianyu who led his men from Azure Dragon Gate into the inner court and directly wiped out a bunch of the old emperor's trusted sons and heirs.
Therefore, Hu Mang, who inherited his mother's carefree attitude, became even more calm. With this mindset, his research on the unsealing of Divine Sense actually made progress.
Old Chen was actually right. Even if Hu Mang possessed the Golden Core Divine Sense, it would take at least ten days to half a month to break through it.
If something really happens in ten days or half a month, then he can just celebrate the seventh day after his death.
However, while studying the "Golden Nature Research Notes," Hu Mang discovered a very special set of sword principles evolution, called the "Life-Taking Continuous Three Immortals Sword."
As a super swordsmanship genius, Gu Yunshu's method of mastering the Golden Nature is the way of the sword. Therefore, this notebook contains a large number of records about the Sword Realm, sword principles, and Swordsmanship.
One of their swordplay theories is the "Life-Taking Continuous Three Immortals Sword".
The reason it is called sword theory rather than Swordsmanship is that it is not a means of controlling flying swords, but a way of controlling the "Sword Realm".
As a super swordsmanship genius, Gu Yunshu has comprehended a great many "sword realms". The Sword Realm ordinary people seek but cannot achieve, such as the Sword Qi Thunder Sound and the Human-Sword Unity that Hu Mang had seen before, are all easy for him to grasp.
So one day, which was probably June 7th—that's how it's written in the diary.
This Boss Gu, suddenly had an idea: wouldn't it be wonderful if there were a Swordsmanship that could simultaneously unleash multiple Sword Realm?
But he soon discovered that Swordsmanship alone was not enough, because the realm of swordsmanship is the result of the sublimation of the essence of swordsmanship. Not to mention that a set of swordsmanship may not necessarily have a Sword Realm, even ten sets of swordsmanship may not necessarily have one.
Not to mention that a single sword technique can evolve into multiple Sword Realm.
To simultaneously evolve multiple Sword Realm, Swordsmanship alone are insufficient; a sword theory that encompasses different Sword Realm is required.
Thus, the "Life-Taking Continuous Three Immortals Sword" came into being.
This set of sword principles is also very profound and unfathomable, because it is located very far back in the book. A few pages further on, you will find Boss Gu's research and understanding of how One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws.
Of course, Hu Mang is not a swordsmanship genius, so it is unlikely that he can comprehend the Three Immortals Sword in a short period of time.
However, Hu Mang quickly realized that he didn't need to comprehend this fusion sword principle at all, because he already possessed something of the same level within his body, the "Three Yin Flowers."
These Three Yin Flowers evolved from the Mysterious Yin Devil Moon, and in the Qi Sea, Crimson Palace, and Niwan Palace, they respectively manifest three demonic phenomena: Black Water, Red Lotus, and Sha Palace.
It's called "Three Yin Flowers" because, like essence, energy, and spirit, it originates from the Three Dantian (energy centers). Furthermore, it wasn't Hu Mang's original creation, but rather a phrase from the * Profound Yin Body Refining Technique *.
"Upon reaching perfection in body refinement, Black Water surges in the Qi Sea, Red Lotus blooms in the Crimson Palace, and the Demon Palace opens in the Sha Palace; the Three Yin gather at the top, forming the Three Yin Flowers. Those who touch it will have their souls frozen; those who bear it will have their demonic bones reshaped."
Hu Mang didn't awaken any demonic bones, but instead activated one of the Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians.
Therefore, when studying the "Life-Taking Continuous Three Immortals Sword", Hu Mang was astonished to find that, apart from not knowing swordsmanship, he almost met all the conditions for wielding the "Three Immortals Sword".
Another day and night have passed.
Late at night
Hu Mang sat cross-legged alone in the center of the room, with the unopenable Storage Bag on the low table in front of him.
With his eyes closed, he repeatedly recalled the sword principles of Gu Yunshu's "Life-Taking Continuous Three Immortals Sword" technique in his mind.
Although he is not skilled in swordsmanship, he is skilled in marksmanship.
At his and Gu Yunshu's level, the principles of swordsmanship and spear fighting were already interconnected; the only difference was the subtle variations in the weapon's form. What he needed was not to simply copy the moves of those three swords, but to understand the underlying principles of swordsmanship.
After a long while, he opened his eyes.
He didn't reach for the Shattering Thunder; instead, he slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers loosely clenched, as if he already held an invisible gun in his palm.
Deep within the Qi Sea, the Black Water phenomenon was the first to be awakened. A chilling demonic Demonic Qi surged from the Dantian, flowing along the meridians to the arm, condensing into wisps of black mist at the fingertips, like ink slowly spreading in water.
Where the Black Water passed, the air temperature dropped sharply, and a thin layer of white frost condensed on the surface of the low table.
Immediately afterwards, the Red Lotus in the Crimson Palace began to bloom.
A completely different, scorching and violent Demonic Qi rose from his chest, merging with the Black Water energy in his arms.
The two diametrically opposed forces of ice and heat collided fiercely in the meridians, but instead of canceling each other out, they were controlled by the Hu Mang in a subtle way, like two intertwined snakes, moving forward in parallel along their respective paths, and finally converging in the palm of the hand.
Finally, there is the Sha Palace within the Niwan Palace.
A deeper, more concentrated demonic intent surged from between his brows, descended along his spine, and merged with the previous two forces in his palm. The three forces swirled, intertwined, and compressed in his palm, eventually condensing into a fist-sized ball of Demonic Qi that constantly changed colors.
Hu Mang did not rush to make a move. He first used the most basic "entanglement" technique in spear fighting to slowly stir the ball of three- Demonic Qi in his palm, allowing the three forces to intertwine and blend together, just like wrapping three different colored threads around the tip of the spear.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he used the "picking" technique to lift the center of the Demonic Qi, causing it to separate from its chaotic state into three clear lines of force— Black Water at the bottom, Red Lotus in the middle, Sha Palace at the top. These three lines of force were like three parallel spear spines, advancing in parallel through the void.
Finally, he used the "stabbing" technique.
The three lines of force suddenly twisted together the moment they were thrust out, like three ropes being twisted into one, and then coalesced into a single point at the tip of the spear; that point of three-colored light was extremely small, yet extremely bright, like a star compressed to its limit, carrying a sharpness that could tear everything apart, and accurately struck the Divine Sense restriction at the opening of the Storage Bag.
