Chapter Eighty-Five: Tian Du Ming River

  After the true mark of Mount Shu's Lingkong Sword was driven out by Muyuan, two small seal characters appeared on the hilt of this immortal sword. Muyuan concentrated and took a look, it was indeed the two words "Minghe"!

  "It was originally called Ming River, I don't know what Chu Ge'er calls it!" Mu Yuan slightly stunned, urged the flying sword to move, this immortal sword instantly transformed into a piece of starry river, like billions of starlight pouring down, flowing and turning endlessly, dense and thick, slender and deep, the primordial energy of the gourd water in the gourd was rolling and churning, with immense power!

  Mu Yuan carried the Xianjian out of the gourd, and this Minghe Xianjian was also immersed in his dantian, nourished by his own true energy. He stood up, and when he refined the Xianjian, his own true energy was also adjusted. His spirit was complete and his energy was full. Chu Yunfei still sat cross-legged on the ground, but his body flashed with countless lightning and electric fire. However, this was completely different from the Five Fire Yin Lei attribute that he had been cultivating. Just now in the great battle, he had not seen him display such a technique. Presumably it was similar to his Minghe Xianjian, which was an attribute of the flying sword itself.

  This period of time seems short, but it's actually not that long. Mu Yuan has been idle for a while, and the green dragon boat is heading north at a moderate speed. Suddenly, he starts to miss food!

  Looking around, I couldn't see Qī Wēi's figure anywhere. Mù Yuán thought to herself that she must be in closed-door meditation, cultivating her energy. Qī Wēi was indeed more diligent than herself, as if the only thing she did in life was cultivate her energy, and nothing else mattered. It seemed like even cooking wasn't something to consider for her, and could be directly ignored!

  Only on the green dragon boat were mostly stored dried meat and fruit, Mu Yuan gathered air to form a hook, used a piece of dried meat as bait, dropped it into the sea, closed his eyes to rest, in the cabin made a recliner, swaying back and forth waiting for the fish to take the hook!

  The sunshine on the sea was not bad, the moist wind was gentle, and the refreshing breeze hit his face. Mu Yuan felt a bit sleepy as soon as he was warmed by the sunlight. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a loud thunderclap that startled him awake. He turned around to see Chu Yun flying up into the air, with a bolt of lightning coiled around her body, like a rolling dragon and snake, in a deep purple color. Suddenly, it dispersed into thousands of threads of lightning, transforming again into a long, rolling dragon, winding and twisting, looking extremely powerful!

  The tremendous sound of Chu Yunfeng refining the Xianjian also startled Qi Wei, who was meditating in the cabin. He rushed out of the cabin and saw that Chu Yunfeng's body was surrounded by lightning and electric currents, with purple and green lights flashing dazzlingly, finally transforming into a Xianjian held in his hand, with an excited look on his face!

  "Xiao Mu, look at this Heaven's End Sword of mine. Compared to my Dark Element Sword, its power is many times greater! What about your Immortal Sword? Bring it out and let me take a look!"

  Mu Yuan smiled and released the Ming River, which turned out to be a magnificent silver river of light, with countless fragments of light mixed in, like countless stars surrounding it, shining brightly, with a flowing radiance that was even more mysterious than the mighty Tian Du Jian.

  "This one move of mine is called Bright River, it's not inferior to yours, haha!" Mu Yuan raised his head and laughed loudly, but unexpectedly Chu Yunfei condensed a sword light, a lightning dragon roared and rushed up, colliding with the surrounding Star River, exploding into a dazzling brilliance. The lightning and starlight burst out together, like countless scattered jade fragments falling, extremely magnificent!

  Mu Yuan burst out laughing, pointed casually with his hand, and the surrounding starlight gathered into a long river, flowing past, winding like water. It entwined with Chu Yunfei's Tian Du Jian Guang, bursting into a loud crackling sound. With a "hua la" sound, both of them simultaneously sheathed their swords, both extremely delighted!

  Qī Wēi was stunned, these two immortal swords were of such high quality that they were rarely seen in a lifetime. He furrowed his brow and asked, "Mù Yuán shī dì, where did you get this immortal sword?"

  Mu Yuan hadn't spoken yet, but Chu Yunfei was gloating, "It's those two damned Shu Mountain Taoists from earlier. They thought they could bully me, surrounding me and attacking for a whole day and night. Who would have thought that in the end, we two would seize the flying sword? It's truly a case of retribution not being satisfied!"

  Muyuan lowered his head and smiled strangely, put away Minghe, and sat back on the recliner with his eyes closed to rest.

  Chu Yunfei was excited, seeing Mu Yuan not speaking, he leaned forward and whispered, "Little Mu, yesterday I saw that guy's protective aura, I suddenly remembered that our sect has a 'Five Ghosts Divine Movement Technique', I'm thinking of practicing it, are you interested in joining me?"

  Mu Yuan didn't even open his eyes and lazily said, "What's the use of the Five Ghosts' Divine Method? I'm not lacking in magical treasures to use right now!"

  Chu Yunfei suddenly appeared out of thin air, and without anyone knowing, he took a reclining chair from somewhere in the cabin and sat down beside Mu Yuan. He also lowered a fishing hook into the sea and slowly said, "This Five Ghosts Transporting Divine Method is taken from the skeleton of a male child, using secret methods to refine it for 49 days, completing the ritual on the seventh day. When it takes shape, there will be five clusters of ghostly fire surrounding the body, divided into the five elements. It can be used for offense or defense, and although its power is not great at first, depending on the strength of the person who refined it, it can eventually transform into the Five Ghosts Heavenly King, rivaling any powerful yuan spirit master or a demonic door master who has cultivated an undying body!"

  Mu Yuan snorted, "How come your sect doesn't have any decent and efficient spells? You still want to go to the male child's skeleton, I'm not practicing it anymore, you go yourself!"

  Chu Yunfei chuckled and said, "No worries, no worries. When the time comes for me to choose my bones, I'll pick a set for you too. We'll talk about it then!"

  Qī Wēi saw the two of them sneaking around, not knowing what they were saying. Although he felt that Mù Yuán's association with this evil sect was inappropriate, especially since he had also taken the Xī Shān Men's immortal sword, he couldn't help but feel envious of those two flying swords. Especially Mù Yuán's Míng Hé, which shone brightly like a starry river, its light dazzling and powerful. The female cultivator wielded it with both elegance and might, surpassing even the mighty Tiān Dū's tyrannical immortal sword!

  Two people fishing, Qi Wei also leaned on the bow of the boat. Seeing the soft sunlight, the sea surface was as beautiful as flowing gold. On Mu Yuan's side face, a layer of golden light was applied, and he thought to himself how he didn't have such good luck, getting a flying sword in one mouthful.

  When Chu Yunfei mentioned the Five Ghosts' Divine Method, Mu Yuan suddenly remembered the Taiyi Wuyan Huancai Shenguang he had cleverly snatched from Lin Ruofeng's hands. At that time, he only briefly operated it, and now, taking advantage of his leisure time, he secretly used his true energy to merge those complex heart formulas.

  Taiyi Wuyan Huancui Shenguang is one of the three great ultimate techniques of Mount Shu, and it's the only pure defensive divine art. Although it has no attacking power, nothing is absolute, and this divine light can still be used to trap enemies since it can't penetrate through them. However, Mu Yuan currently has all sorts of treasures that can trap or kill enemies but lacks a defensive treasure or divine art. Minghe obtained one later on, so that's fine, but such a divine art shouldn't go to waste!

  The true energy of the tide is condensed, but this is not the original intention of Mu Yuan. The key to longevity lies in the Longevity Art. Generally, all cultivators refine their own sect's heart method, and even if they have other attainments, they are all auxiliary to it. As long as the true energy of their sect's heart method is condensed, other miscellaneous true energies can also be generated. Now Mu Yuan can use the condensed tide true energy to merge with the longevity true energy, but he has lost the pure essence of the longevity true energy, so Mu Yuan still needs to go to Yuan Huashan to condense it!

  Taiyi's five-colored smoke and misty divine light, Mu Yuan didn't use the Chaotai True Qi, but instead continued to cultivate with the Longevity True Qi. Currently, among all the True Qi, the Chaotai True Qi is the most powerful, however, when refining treasures or cultivating divine abilities, Mu Yuan always used the Longevity True Qi, after all, this was his foundation!

  A pale blue true energy slowly circulated within his body, and a faint cyan glow gradually appeared on his skin. Chu Yunfei watched from the side with a carefree expression, but in her heart, she was thinking about the Five Ghosts' Divine Movement Technique. Qi Wei also thought that Mu Yuan was cultivating the Longevity Art, neither of them paying attention!

  The Longevity True Qi is continuously gathering and condensing along the Taiyi Wuyan Huancui Shenguang's method, transforming into talismans one after another. These talismans gradually dissipate, dispersing out of the body, forming a layer of blurry, colorful, and resplendent light. As more and more True Qi gathers in Muyu, this layer of colored light becomes increasingly distinct, slowly pulsating!

  Whether it's Taoism or Buddhism, the understanding of the Tao is often represented by the number nine. The Taiyi Five Smoke Fantasy Color Divine Light is also divided into nine layers, transforming into nine layers of light circles. Lin Ruofeng, who was only able to refine the third layer of divine light that day, had a high starting point with Muyuan. Although he wasn't a disciple of Shushan, his meditation skills were polished to the point where he could see the first layer of the gateway, and the colorful light outside his body formed a swirling ring of light!

  Muyuan finally understood the defensive technique of Taiyi Wuyan Huancui Shenguang. This divine ability uses true energy to create a colorful glow outside the body, seemingly simple but actually consisting of countless array patterns intertwined, flashing within and forming numerous fine invisible air vortexes that can dissolve incoming enemies into nothingness. The principle is simple, but there are countless variations inside. Muyuan also exhausted his mind, carefully arranging and transforming his true energy bit by bit, finally forming a layer of bright five-colored light outside his body.

  Chu Yunfei was shocked to see the changes on Mu Yuan's body, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this that person's protective aura? You're really something, little Mu! You even managed to dig up such a high-grade mantra. Hurry up and let me take a look, I'm so envious!"

  Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Giving it to you is no problem, just don't show off too much, or the people of Shu Mountain will come looking for you, and you won't be able to eat and run!"

  Chu Yunfei sneered, "Of course, no need for you to say it. The art of cleverly taking things by force, I'm not inferior to you at all! How to hide oneself, I'm also very skilled!"

  Mu Yuan saw Qi Wei standing beside him and called out, "Sister Master, this is the Taiyi Wuyan Huancain Shenguang of Mount Shu, its power is not to be underestimated, why don't you learn it too?"

  Qī Wēi's faint smile suddenly gave Mù Yuán and Chǔ Yún Fēi a stunning feeling.
