"Junior brother, how is this place?"
Yu Heng brought Li Xuan to a mountaintop and stopped, then asked Li Xuan.
"It's fine." Li Xuan looked around and nodded. On the way here, Li Xuan had seen many caves and mountain peaks on Juhe Peak. The mountain peak in front of him was near the center of Juhe Peak and very close to Yu Heng's cave.
Li Xuan didn't care much about accommodation; any place was the same. Besides, Li Xuan knew that he would be moving between the six peaks from now on, and this cave was just one of them.
Upon hearing this, Yu Heng smiled and said, "Junior brother, I'll take my leave then. If you need anything, feel free to find me anytime."
"Thank you, senior brother." Li Xuan nodded.
After Yu Heng left, Li Xuan walked directly into the cave. Inside, the cave was fully equipped with everything one could need. Li Xuan also discovered a formation within the cave that continuously channeled spiritual energy from Juhe Peak into it.
Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then sat down and took out the two jade slips given to him by Peak Master Shen Shan. With a thought, Li Xuan began to examine them.
"The Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility: Strengthens muscles and bones, gathers Qi and blood. As long as there is flesh and blood, one is immortal and indestructible. Divine light emanates from the entire body, signifying minor accomplishment. Great accomplishment leads to rebirth of flesh and blood."
Li Xuan was deeply shocked by the descriptions within the jade slip. After Li Xuan memorized the cultivation mantra of the Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility, the jade slip dissolved. Clearly, this was a protective measure by the Body Sect for this scripture.
"This Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility is quite powerful," Li Xuan mused silently for a moment before nodding. The primary cultivation direction of this scripture was to temper one's own physical body. For beginners, physical strength would increase. Upon reaching a minor accomplishment, one would possess physical strength equivalent to the Divine Strength realm.
If one mastered this scripture, they would be almost immortal and indestructible as long as their physical body remained. Even if only a trace of flesh and blood remained, they could reconstruct their body from it. Such a cultivation technique was of a high level.
Li Xuan was unaware that the Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility could only be cultivated by core disciples of the Body Sect. Even elite disciples were not eligible. It could be said that this scripture was the foundation of the Body Sect.
"Young master, this Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility seems quite suitable for you. Coupled with the Nine Revolutions of Spirit Grinding passed down by Senior Yi Qin, it will greatly benefit your physique," the Heavenly Dao Pen's voice echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, "Otherwise, what do you think I joined the Body Sect for? Overall, things are going quite well for now."
"Young master, I believe you should still focus on improving yourself. While strengthening your physique is one aspect, don't forget that you are a sword cultivator. Moreover, I have a bad feeling about those four individuals on the second level," the Heavenly Dao Pen stated.
Li Xuan's expression became slightly solemn as he nodded, "I will be careful."
Li Xuan naturally understood the reminder from the Heavenly Dao Pen. It was also clear that the Heavenly Dao Pen knew some things that Li Xuan was not yet aware of. However, Li Xuan was helpless at the moment. With his current strength, he could not deal with the four on the second level.
"Let's take it one step at a time," Li Xuan sighed softly. Then, with a thought, he began to cultivate according to the mantra of the Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility.
Perhaps because Li Xuan's physique had already reached the Divine Strength realm, he found the cultivation of the Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility to be effortless. In a short period, Li Xuan was like a fish in water, getting into the groove. A faint, profound light began to emanate from his body.
Time passed by quietly, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had gone by.
One day, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Then, with a sense of awareness, Li Xuan's figure instantly appeared outside the cave.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Yu Heng." Li Xuan cupped his fists and bowed.
Yu Heng smiled and waved his hand, "Judging by your aura, junior brother, you must be making good progress. Your talent makes me ashamed. When I reached your current state, it took me a full three years."
Yu Heng was currently in the Beginning Origin realm and could clearly perceive Li Xuan's aura changes. Furthermore, having cultivated the Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility himself, Yu Heng could sense Li Xuan's progress.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "You flatter me, senior brother. May I ask why you've come, senior brother? Is there any instruction from our master?"
Yu Heng shook his head and smiled, "It's not that our master has any instructions, but the senior disciple of Song Luan Peak has come."
"The senior disciple of Song Luan Peak?" Li Xuan was startled.
"You, junior brother, are a disciple accepted by all six peak masters. Have you forgotten that you have to cultivate on each peak every month?" Yu Heng said with a wry smile.
Only then did Li Xuan realize that the senior disciple of Song Luan Peak had come to pick him up.
"Senior Brother Yu Heng, could you tell me about the senior brothers and sisters of the six peaks?" Li Xuan asked after thinking for a moment.
Yu Heng smiled and nodded, clearly understanding Li Xuan's intention for asking.
Soon, under Yu Heng's explanation, Li Xuan gained a general understanding of the six peaks.
Juhe Peak: Yu Heng.
Song Luan Peak: Song Tao.
Chaoyun Peak: Qi Yao.
Cuiping Peak: Mu Ye.
Wangxia Peak: Jing Yi.
Shengquan Peak: Jia Wei.
It was worth mentioning that Wangxia Peak was entirely composed of female cultivators. Li Xuan was the first male exception.
*Buzz.*
At this moment, a beam of spiritual light flashed, and Peak Master Shen Shan directly appeared before Li Xuan and Yu Heng.
"Greetings, Master." Yu Heng and Li Xuan immediately bowed.
Peak Master Shen Shan nodded slightly and then looked at Li Xuan, saying, "Good. In less than a month, you've cultivated the Scripture of Immortality and Indestructibility to near minor accomplishment. I was right about you."
Li Xuan bowed, "It's all thanks to my master's insights, otherwise, it would have been difficult for me to get started so quickly."
Peak Master Shen Shan smiled and looked at Li Xuan, then said, "Come with me."
"Yes." Li Xuan nodded. It seemed that Peak Master Shen Shan had something to say to him.
"Li Xuan, I haven't come to find you for the past month. Do you know why?" Peak Master Shen Shan stopped and turned to ask Li Xuan.
Li Xuan thought for a moment and then said, "Master wanted to see if I could cultivate it successfully on my own?"
Peak Master Shen Shan nodded slightly, "That is indeed part of the reason. But the more important reason is that I've been considering how to help you improve faster. Now that a month has passed, when you return to Juhe Peak, it will be half a year later."
Peak Master Shen Shan paused and continued, "Therefore, I will pass on my ultimate techniques to you. In addition, I will give you this spiritual sword. This sword will be my disciple-acceptance gift to you."
As Peak Master Shen Shan finished speaking, a jade slip and a spiritual sword flew towards Li Xuan.
Li Xuan accepted the jade slip and the spiritual sword with both hands, but soon a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
This spiritual sword was actually of immortal sword rank!
"My primary cultivation is the physical body, so this spiritual sword doesn't serve much purpose for me. You are a sword cultivator, and perhaps you can make use of it," Peak Master Shen Shan said with a smile.
Li Xuan smiled wryly. Even body cultivators needed external aids. And this immortal sword was quite powerful. Peak Master Shen Shan giving it to him would somewhat affect his overall strength.
"Disciple thanks Master." Li Xuan knew the significance of this immortal sword, and he truly needed a spiritual sword of this caliber at the moment. After a moment of thought, Li Xuan decided to accept it.
Peak Master Shen Shan smiled and nodded, "Cultivate well. I hope that when you return to Juhe Peak, you will open my eyes."
Peak Master Shen Shan patted Li Xuan on the shoulder, then turned and disappeared. The next moment, a figure descended from the sky and stopped in front of Li Xuan.
"You must be Li Xuan." The newcomer smiled at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan's heart stirred, and he immediately bowed, "Li Xuan, greetings, Senior Brother Song Tao."
