Chapter 336: Each One's Own Choice, It Seems Like a Different World (Part 2)
Shi Xuan nodded in agreement: "That's right. I was afraid that you, Ruoshui, would lose your composure. In fact, I came here this time because I got two methods of the outer path of the soul, which can help me achieve immortality without achieving the highest grade golden elixir." The implication is self-evident.
Yu Ruoshui displayed the sword light and split the waterfall into two parts. Without asking about the two methods of the outer path of the soul, he said directly: "Shi Xuan, you have always known that I like flying swords and swordsmanship. The reason why I like them is that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, I can break them with one sword. Now I am practicing the "Secret Sword Box for Slaying Immortals". Facing the golden elixir road, I will naturally go forward without turning back. I would rather break than bend, even if I die, I will not look back."
"Haha, then I wish you all the best." Shi Xuan naturally stopped mentioning the two methods. He could only do what he could. Besides, Yu Ruoshui had also exchanged for longevity pills and took them. He still had a life span of a hundred years, so it was not a hopeless thing.
Yu Ruoshui looked at Shi Xuan and smiled: "It's not easy to see you, don't waste time, let's learn swordsmanship."

Ming Qingyue's cave is the same as Shi Xuan's, both are clean and simple.
The two of them drank tea and talked about their experiences over the years.
After a hundred years of experience, Ming Qingyue seemed to have washed away the lead and restrained her heroic spirit, appearing more refined and calm. At this time, she smiled lightly: "I didn't expect that Shi Xuan you have such a rich experience. Unlike me, in these years, apart from practicing, I was looked down upon by others."
"They don't know your background. Seeing that you have to practice for nearly a hundred years to complete the soul stage, and you haven't achieved the golden elixir for more than a hundred years after the completion, they naturally think you are a model of being ignorant when young, but not necessarily good when you grow up." Shi Xuan saw that Ming Qingyue didn't mind at all, and joked casually.
Ming Qingyue glared at Shi Xuan with fake anger, and when she saw that the small talk was over, she asked him questions about Taoism. At the end, Shi Xuan said, "I got several methods of the outer path of the soul in the Seven Immortals World this time, two of which are very good."
Ming Qingyue gathered her hair and asked with a smile, "Compared with the orthodox Taoism, what's the difference?"
Shi Xuan told her one by one, and seeing that Ming Qingyue was thoughtful, he teased, "Why, do you want to follow the outer path of the soul?"
Ming Qingyue rolled her eyes at Shi Xuan, stretched out her slender index finger and shook it, and said with a playful smile, "Shi Xuan, you can't tempt me. More than a hundred years ago, I stimulated my blood, condensed the demon pill, and walked the path of the Dragon King, and I could immediately have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. I could resist it. Now facing this, it is a piece of cake. "
Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something: "By the way, I have read all the books that my mother brought from the dragon clan in my spare time these years, and accidentally found the origin of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Method" in an inconspicuous place in a landscape geography book. I think it may be of some use to you. "
"Oh, after I practiced the sword light to nine paths, I stagnated. I think the next step should be the pass of the sword energy like silk, but I have been hindered by the incomplete skills and I really can't find the way. I didn't expect to hear this good news today. Thank you very much, Qingyue. "Shi Xuan felt that this was an unexpected surprise. He originally planned to wait until the soul was formed before looking for it.
Ming Qingyue smiled and said, "It's just a clue. Whether it can be found or not is still a question. According to the above, the dragon clan bought it from the floating merchant in Tongtian World. Since they are selling fragments, they should know some traces of the complete book. However, millions of years have passed, and there may be no traces at all."
"It doesn't matter. It's better than no clues." Shi Xuan didn't care. It seems that he still has to go after he achieves the soul. "By the way, do you want to listen to the two external soul skills?"
"Why not? A stone from another mountain can polish a jade. Don't you often say this, Shi Xuan?" Ming Qingyue asked with a smile.
Shi Xuan laughed and discussed these external soul skills with Ming Qingyue.

In the icy formation at the bottom of Tianshu Peak, Shi Xuan was listening attentively to Xu Zhifei's words about what the world he was going to this time was like.
"Because of the unique factors when it was created, that world is not as big as our world after it was destroyed, but there are extremely many spiritual stones, forming a unique cultivation environment. In this world, countless magic and Taoism are widely used. Many mortals, although unable to practice, can enjoy the convenience brought by Taoism."
"The most important thing is that this is a world with strict hierarchy. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a great man who shook the world. He unified the world. After that, he created a formation, which was spread in every town and interconnected. Therefore, every cultivator below the Yuanshen, if he cannot obtain the magic authority issued by the empire, in most places, he will have a body of cultivation but cannot use it."
"So when you go to that world, it is extremely dangerous. You can use your magic weapon, but once you use it, it will be monitored by the formations all over the world, and the consequences will be very serious."
Seeing that Xu Zhenjun did not say anything more, Shi Xuan asked his doubts: "Is that great man still alive? What is the highest cultivation in this world?"
Xu Zhenjun said: "That great man died when the heavenly man was in his third decline 200,000 years ago. Since then, due to the atmosphere, the cultivation level of the whole world has been getting lower and lower. The highest cultivation level now is only a Yuanshen Zhenren who suppresses the national destiny. However, with abundant resources and spiritual stones, there are many middle-grade Jindan masters and many Yinshen Zuns."
"In addition, over the years, their achievements in formations and artifacts have been advancing by leaps and bounds, so even if you have a magic weapon in your hand, you will have no power to fight back against those Yinshen Zuns or artifacts that form formations."
Shi Xuan laughed dumbly: "It seems that they win by numbers?"
"Haha, that's right, just like those Void Sky Demons, a single cultivator is not strong, once they form a formation, dozens or hundreds of Yinshen Zuns work together, it is almost as powerful as the Yuanshen Zhenren, and even more powerful, but the level is not up to par. Once you meet the Yuanshen Zhenren, no matter how powerful you are, it is useless." Xu Zhenjun laughed.
"Okay, you can experience the details yourself. Remember, it takes a lot of experience to find your obsession." Xu Zhenjun waved his hand, and a purple gate appeared in front of Shi Xuan.
Shi Xuan stepped in firmly and disappeared into the gate.
…………
When Shi Xuan woke up from the dizziness brought by this time and space transmission, he found himself standing in the suburbs of the city that seemed to be brightly lit. There were wide light bands floating in the air, connecting from a distance to the city, like countless streamers.
As soon as Shi Xuan thought about it, he found that the Taoist magic disappeared into thin air when it was outside the body, and it could not be performed at all, but it could be done inside the body to calm the Yin spirit.
It was late at night, dark and moonless, but those wide light bands were emitting soft light, illuminating everything around. Shi Xuan was just about to walk into the city when suddenly a huge roar came from behind him.
Turning his head, Shi Xuan was almost startled. Wasn't that a car? Uh, something is wrong. There are no wheels. The car body is low and silver-white, suspended on the light strip. Two flames are emitting from the rear of the car, and it is driving rapidly into the city.
One after another, several such car-like things are vying for the first place, fighting for each other.
Is this racing? Shi Xuan only felt an absurd feeling rising in his heart. Is this still the world of cultivation?
However, the consciousness was suppressed in the body, so Shi Xuan could not feel the cultivation of those drivers, otherwise he could get some information.
Watching these cars disappear in the city, Shi Xuan had to walk. It has been more than two hundred years, and Shi Xuan once again used his own feet when he was on the road. It was a long-lost experience.
After walking quickly for a while, the seemingly prosperous city was still far away, but Shi Xuan was not in a hurry. It was just right to observe the surroundings. This was the first thing to do when you come to a strange place.
The sky was high, the wind was clear, and there was a faint flash of light in the sky. At this time, a dark black "car" squeaked and stopped beside the light strip not high to Shi Xuan's right.
The car door opened, and a handsome man in his twenties wearing a gray shirt-like clothes, black trousers, and short black hair came out. He greeted Shi Xuan and said, "Hey, friend, what's the matter? You want to walk into the city? I guess you may not be able to walk until tomorrow. Do you want to hitchhike?"
Looking at the familiar clothing style, familiar hairstyle, and familiar way of speaking, Shi Xuan suddenly felt like he was back on Earth in a dream.
