In the Sword Palace, Xu Han frowned as he looked at the figure lying on the bed.
"Could it be that you didn't notice anything at all?" He looked at the scene for a long time before turning to ask a middle-aged man beside him.
This person was tall and large, eight feet away. He wore a four-stringed golden robe and was called Yu Buchen. It was said that he was the one who had entered the Swordsman Competition by himself decades ago. Because he had no sect or sect, and because he had worked diligently and earnestly over the years, he had won the trust of Xiao Ran, he could be considered one of the few people in Gold Sword Holder who could be said to be "one of his own" in the Swordsman Pavilion.
This trip to Qi Province, Long Province, and other places to investigate the mysterious deaths of various Great Evolution Realm experts, Xiao Ran brought along this Yu Buchen. This was because he wanted to promote him, and secondly, it was because there weren't many people in the current Sword Handling Pavilion that were truly worthy of trust.
However, I'm afraid that Grand Pavilion Master Xiao himself did not expect that this trip would end up like this.
According to Yu Buchen, who was leading the swordsmen to bring back the blood-covered Xiao Ran , Xiao Ran was walking. Suddenly, he could not stand up and his entire body was bleeding.
"No!" Hearing Xu Han's question, Yu Buchen shook his head decisively and said, "In the blink of an eye, the Pavilion Master was unable to stand up. None of the people present had noticed anything strange before."
Xu Han had already heard Nangong Jing and Yu Buchen say such words several times on his way here, but he still had great doubts about it.
Xiao Ran was not that Luo Feng. Although the Grand Pavilion Master Xiao was a casual person who loved money as much as his life, his cultivation was a real Earthly Immortal Realm expert. Not to mention, how many people could hurt him in this world? Who could beat him to such a serious injury without anyone noticing? Xu Han reckoned that even Xie Min Yu, who had survived the third Heavenly Tribulation, was unable to do so.
Xu Han vaguely felt that there was a connection between this matter and what Xiao Ran was trying to investigate. It was as if there was a huge conspiracy enveloping the entire Great Xia Jianghu. Xu Han said that he was not sure what it was, but he could clearly feel his existence.
…
It was noon. After learning from the imperial physician that Xiao Ran did not have any life worries, the people who had not even had time to sleep after knowing Luo Gu Ming 's death finally felt a little relieved and returned to their respective residences.
"Have a good rest. It's been a hard day. Let's talk about it later if there's anything else." Returning to the Yan Manor, Xu Han smiled and looked at the crowd, speaking with a relaxed expression.
Yan Zhan, Chu Chouli, and the others did not notice him. They all nodded in agreement. Then, they turned around and returned to their respective residences. However, Ye Hongjian seemed to feel Xu Han's pretentious relaxation. She was about to say something, but before she could say anything, a tender voice suddenly sounded.
"Ai! You must be Ye Hongjian, right? That little brat with the saber on his back told me that you're very powerful. Teach me martial arts."
Hearing this, Ye Hongjian couldn't help but be stunned as she turned her head to look, only to see that the little girl named Nineteen had jumped up and down to her side at some unknown time. At this moment, she was raising her head and looking at her expectantly.
Ye Hongjian was somewhat puzzled about this unknown Little Nineteen, but although Nineteen had a strange temperament, she had helped them recognize the Mo Luo blood before. Although Ye Hongjian's temperament was usually a little indifferent, she was still a person with clear grudges. Adding on that Nineteen was still young, it was naturally impossible for her to speak coldly to him.
At that time, she bent down and whispered, "My cultivation method is not suitable for children. You should go find Xiao Muan."
"I don't! I want you to teach me!" Without knowing what Su Mu'an had said to Nineteen, the little girl decided that Ye Hongjian had hugged one of her legs and shouted loudly.
Ye Hongjian felt a little helpless. At this time, Xu Han had already turned around and entered the courtyard where he was. Ye Hongjian could only temporarily put aside her thoughts of searching for Xu Han and turn around to deal with this troublesome Xiao Nineteen.
…
The Imperishable Realm's physical body allowed Xu Han to quickly repair his physical injuries, and at the same time, it allowed him to possess an extraordinary amount of energy. As long as he wanted, he could even stay awake for a month.
After entering the room, Xu Han was just as Ye Hongjian had expected, and did not have the slightest intention of sleeping.
But it wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he knew that he couldn't sleep peacefully no matter what.
A difficult decision was made to leave or stay in front of him.
The reason why he told everyone not to investigate Luo Gu Ming 's murder case was also very simple. In fact, as long as they thought about it carefully, they would know that neither the Sword Handling Pavilion nor Xu Han had any reason to risk Luo Gu Ming 's life at this critical juncture. In the end, there were only two uses for his death. One was to give Sunset Cloud Valley a reason to break away from the Sword Handling Pavilion, and the other was to give the various sects led by the Crimson Firmament Sect a justified reason to attack the Sword Handling Pavilion in Heng Imperial City.
Yesterday, Xu Han had already seen through Luo Mo's attitude. The Sunset Cloud Valley seemed to have completely collapsed to the Crimson Firmament Sect. That newly promoted immortal clearly knew the tricks behind it, but he was unwilling to investigate the truth carefully. He didn't really hope that Xu Han would find out anything about the three days he had given him. He was only afraid of Xiao Ran, who was already on his way home, and he was also afraid of the motto of "Within the Royal City, there is no Blood Blade". However, three days later, Xu Han didn't know how much deterrence such a motto would have in front of the immortals led by Xie Min Yu.
Moreover, Xiao Ran, whom Xu Han regarded as his backer, had also fallen into a coma. Judging from the injuries, even if he could awaken before Xie Min Yu arrived, his combat strength would probably be reduced to nothing. Now that the Sword Handling Pavilion was facing a catastrophe, Xu Han did not have any reason to stay behind to advance or retreat with the Sword Handling Pavilion. However, if he left without the natural barrier of the Royal City, would the green-robed old man who had returned from hell let him go?
The so-called dilemma was about Xu Han's current situation.
Under such circumstances, it was estimated that no one would be able to rest easy even if they were called upon to do so, and Xu Han was naturally the same.
He stood at the door and was silent for a few breaths. Finally, he took a deep breath and walked to the bed. He took out a yellowed ancient book from under his pillow. The ancient book seemed to be very old, but the words written on the title page in the form of dragons and snakes did not lose any of their charm due to the passage of time.
With a glance, Xu Han's mind suddenly stirred with emotion as he read the words "Great Dragon Elephant Seal".
This was the Secret Sect cultivation technique that Grandmaster Buku had given Xu Han from Li Dongjun's remnant soul. This technique could be considered the foundation of the secret sect of the Dragon Hidden Temple, Naturally, it was a generous gift. Unfortunately, the deepest level of the Scripture Pavilion of Long Yin Temple required Master Bu Ku and Pavilion Master Xiao Ran to work together to open it. Otherwise, with Master Bu Ku's current attitude towards Xu Han, it wouldn't be difficult for Xu Han to go there.
Of course, Xu Han casually thought of these thoughts. At this moment, the most important thing for him was to think of a way to raise his cultivation to deal with the upcoming troubles. Such a course of action would inevitably be suspected of sharpening the musket, But in fact, ever since Xu Han obtained this technique, he had been busy finding a way to save Liu Sheng from Liu Dingdang. Although he had obtained nothing in the end, Xu Han had spent a lot of time and energy on it. Only now did he have the time to carefully read the "Great Dragon Elephant Seal" about the secret sect inheritance of the Dragon Hidden Temple.
He only had less than three days. To raise his cultivation to a level sufficient to contend against an Immortal Realm expert in such a short period of time was akin to talking nonsense. However, Xu Han's temperament was like this. He was unwilling to surrender even if his chances were slim.
…
The Asura Technique used demonic power to temper the flesh. There were drawbacks in it. It only provided cultivators with tremendous progress in cultivation in a short period of time, but it would inevitably leave many hidden dangers for cultivators. This was also why most of the Asura Cultivators who cultivated the Asura Technique were in the first four realms of the flesh realm, while only a few reached the last three realms.
Even if Xu Han didn't possess the Demon Lord's right arm and happened to arrive at the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, it would still take him an unknown amount of time to reach the Seventh Realm.
Compared to the Asura Art, the Great Dragon Elephant Seal was much more gentle and reasonable. Clearly, the person who created this technique had many experiences in cultivating the fleshly body.
However, regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, Xu Han didn't really care about their specific cultivation method. What Xu Han really wanted to know from the "Great Dragon Elephant Seal" was how to ascend to the Immortal Realm with his physical body cultivation.
At this seventh realm, the effect of tempering the flesh with demonic power was extremely small using the method in the Asura Technique. In order to ascend to the Immortal Realm, Xu Han calculated carefully. Without one or two thousand years of lifespan, he was afraid that he would not be able to do so. Xu Han furrowed his brows after reading the Big Dragon Elephant Seal about the first seven realms of the physical body recorded in it.
The biggest difference between the cultivation method of the Great Dragon Elephant Seal and the Asura Art was that the Asura Art focused solely on the pursuit of physical strength, while the Great Dragon Elephant Seal required cultivators to possess a certain level of internal strength to temper their physical body through the adjustment of internal strength. However, in the end, this method only lacked the quick success and instant benefit from the Asura Technique. The method of tempering the fleshly body changed because of the different internal forces used, but there was not much difference in its essence.
However, it was also mentioned in the last stage of the [Great Dragon Elephant Seal], When he reached the Immortal Realm, it would be extremely difficult to temper his physical body. It was probably like the Asura Technique, with little effect. As for how to ascend to the Immortal Realm with his physical body, there was not a single word mentioned before. With one last glimmer of hope, Xu Han opened the last page of the Great Dragon Elephant Seal.
On this page, unlike the previous page, which was full of pictures and notes, there were only a few numbers on the last page.
"A Seven Realms technique can't become a Saint Physique, so it's hard to extract an Immortal Physique from a mortal's strength."
"If we underestimate the possibility of entering the mortal body with the power of heaven and man, we might be able to help us achieve this Dao. However, if an immortal is arrogant, how can he condescend to the status of a mortal?"
"Therefore, if we underestimate it again, we can't allow two forces of fire and water to collide with each other in our body. The power contained in it may be comparable to the power of an immortal, and it has already reached the Immortal Dao."
"However, no one has ever come to the Heavenly Path with their fleshly bodies. I hope that future generations will tell you whether they succeed or fail in this trial. If I tell you…" "No one has ever come to the Heavenly Path with their fleshly bodies. This is not the right thing to say. I hope that future generations will tell you."
