The Three Sovereigns Taoist Palace.
”This little girl should be the eldest daughter of the current head of the Xiahou family, Xiahou You, right？”
When seeing the two Cloud Talismans used by Gu Qingcheng to clear the way for Xu Taiping, the deputy palace master Yun Shiliu immediately guessed her true identity.
”Xiahou You？ Didn’t you recommend this girl to me a few years ago？”
The old palace master’s eyes stared at the spirit mirror in front of him, and he asked without looking back.
”Yes.” Yun Shiliu nodded. “At that time, you didn’t take a fancy to her, and later she was trapped in the Mysterious Wilderness Tower, so this matter was left unresolved.”
”After the matter of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower is resolved, Shiliu, you arrange for her to meet with me. I want to test her personally to see if she can practice my ‘Nine Books of Cloud Talismans’.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Shiliu’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately nodded repeatedly and said：
”Don’t worry, old palace master. As soon as she comes out of the tower, I will bring her here immediately.”
The Cloud Talisman Nine Chapters of the old palace master is one of the most powerful of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace. Every year, each palace will send the disciples with the most talent in the Cloud Talisman path to ask the old palace master for advice and see if they can be accepted as his successor.
However, the old palace master’s requirements for the talent of his successor are extremely harsh, and no one has been able to catch his eye so far. Therefore, when Yun Shiliu heard that the old palace master intended to teach Xiahou You the Cloud Talisman Nine Chapters, she was naturally happy in her heart.
“Why do you suddenly want to see this girl？”
Although Yun Shiliu had guessed something, she still wanted to hear the old palace master’s statement with her own ears.
“Being able to consistently choose to pave the way for Xu Taiping to climb the tower, this kind of vision and decision-making have already exceeded that of ordinary disciples by a lot. In addition, this can be regarded as the first gesture of goodwill that our Three Sovereigns Dao Palace sends to this Xu Taiping.”
The old palace master said frankly.
Upon hearing that the old palace master would actually take the initiative to send goodwill to Xu Taiping, Yun Shiliu’s heart suddenly froze, and she secretly thought：
“It seems that the old palace master really intends to befriend this Xu Taiping and pave the way for the Heavenly Demon Battlefield in the future.”
“Boom！”
And just as Yun Shiliu’s thoughts were racing, a dull collision sound suddenly came from the spirit mirror again.
I saw that in the spirit mirror, Xu Taiping used the Killing God Style of the Killing Life Saber to kill several demonic cultivators who came to block the way with one strike.
When more demonic cultivators surrounded and attacked, the Blade Slave clone beside him immediately took action. Like a killing god, he continuously chopped down the demonic cultivators who kept surrounding and attacking with one knife after another.
“Shua shua shua！ ……”
Listening to the continuous sound of the saber energy breaking through the air coming from the spirit mirror, Yun Shiliu’s expression in front of the spirit mirror was complicated, and the old palace master beside him fell into silence.
“Old palace master, is this senior Blade Slave really, as rumored, finally died at the hands of that ancient demon in the Nine Abysses？”
Yun Shiliu turned his head and looked at the old palace master beside him, and said with some doubt in his tone.
Regarding the death of the Blade Slave, there is actually no exact record in the Upper Clear Realm. It is only known that he ultimately failed to ascend together with the Xuanghuang Great Emperor and most likely died at the hands of the ancient demon Chiyin in the First Demon Cave of the Nine Abysses.
“Many years ago, I also firmly believed in this rumor, but ten years ago, I received a secret report. Someone found the remnant body of the ancient demon Chiyin in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm, and the knife that nailed it to death in that secret realm was one of the Blade Slave’s saber.”
The old palace master said with full of awe in his tone.
“The final winner of the rumored battle… was actually the Blade Slave？！”
Yun Shiliu’s voice trembled slightly as he said.
“At least the Blade Slave didn’t lose.” The old palace master nodded.
Yun Shiliu, who had received confirmation, looked at the Knife Slave who was currently wreaking havoc in the west within the spirit mirror, and the awe in her heart increased by another level.
“Those demonic cultivators from Jiuyuan surely didn’t expect that the sacrifice they induced the Ghost Fang to set up, although it reduced the restraining power of the laws in the Western Zhou of the Ascension Terrace, also released a monster that they couldn’t deal with.”
Looking at the Knife Slave leading Xu Taiping, killing one after another, making it impossible for the evil gods transformed by various demonic creatures to get close, the old palace master suddenly said in a very cheerful tone.
“So to speak, as long as Xu Taiping follows behind the Knife Slave and reaches the top of the Ascension Terrace, he will be able to smoothly ascend to the twelfth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Pagoda？”
Yun Shiliu said with a hint of excitement and anticipation in her tone.
Throughout the Upper Pure Realm, it has been almost three hundred and ten thousand years since a cultivator was able to reach the top of the Mysterious Desolation Pagoda. Some excitement is inevitable.
“Yes.” The old palace master nodded. “Barring any accidents, Xu Taiping, who ascends to the twelfth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Pagoda, will be able to inform the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor in the Outer Heaven about this matter. By then, even if the Great Emperor can’t personally take action to expel the Jiuyuan demonic hordes in the Mysterious Desolation Heaven, he can at least point out a clear path for the Mysterious Desolation Heaven.”
Just like Yun Shiliu, the old palace master’s tone also carried a hint of excitement.
“Boom！ ……”
But just as the two were speaking like this, an extremely intense fluctuation of aura suddenly burst out from Xu Taiping’s body within the spirit mirror, and at the same time, he raised his saber and rushed out from behind the old palace master, facing those dark shadows transformed by the Yin spirits.
“Why is this Xu Taiping taking action on his own？ It’s too risky！”
Seeing this scene, Yun Shiliu exclaimed in surprise with a puzzled expression on her face.
And the old palace master beside her, after being stunned for a moment, suddenly said with a hint of envy：
“To be able to test his saber with a group of demons under the guidance of the saber slave, this kind of opportunity can probably only be obtained by the number one on the Golden Scale List.
As soon as she heard this, Yun Shiliu beside her immediately moved, and her eyes also showed a look of envy.
……
Half a cup of tea ago.
On the steps of the Ascension Terrace.
“Xu Taiping, do you dare to draw your saber？”
After slaying a heretic god transformed by a demonic creature with another saber strike, the saber slave suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Taiping behind him and asked with a grin.
“Dare！”
Xu Taiping nodded heavily without any hesitation.
After watching the saber slave draw his saber hundreds of times, Xu Taiping had long been eager to give it a try in his heart, wanting to see if the insights he had just gained in his heart were correct.
This is completely the instinct of a saber cultivator.
For a saber cultivator, as long as there is an opportunity to improve, there is never a dare not. As for whether he will lose his life because of it, he simply didn’t think about it.
“Then you come！”
Seeing that Xu Taiping agreed so readily, a smile immediately spread wider on the face of the Saber Slave, and he immediately retracted his saber and gave up his position.
“Boom！”
The moment he gave up his position, a Demon God seized the opportunity and seemed to teleport in front of Xu Taiping. And after revealing his form, he slapped towards Xu Taiping with a palm force like a mountain collapsing and the sea churning.
