To speak plainly, this monster is no pushover.

Though it clearly lacks intelligence, unlike those demon beasts that scream frenziedly and throw themselves onto the blade, this palace-guardian demon possesses extraordinary battle instincts. Likely suppressed by the sword bag over many years, it is extremely sensitive to the sword energy's killing intent, already understanding the concepts of advance and retreat, capable of maneuvering like one who has awakened their potential.

Moreover, demon's natural talents and physique, the structure of muscles and bones, are inherently superior to ordinary people. Its body can turn swiftly like lightning, relying purely on instinctive reactions, it can easily evade Huangfu Yi's entire set of sword moves and sword energy!

Thus, although Huangfu Yi thought that his Flame Wind Blazing Fire Sword, which produced tidal Qi Waves and sword whistles like rain, had no major flaws, the opponent could still spot weaknesses in the moves. Like swimming through walls and moving through the ground, using an uncanny movement technique, abruptly left or right, swift or slow, narrowly dodging through every gap.

So much so that after completing a set, even with two sword lights echoing each other, he could not strike it, instead, Huangfu Yi himself got hit twice, as if being mocked and called rubbish... Ahem, of course, it's not that the Blazing Fire Sword is trash, but that his skills have not reached perfection...

In summary, this cunning opponent is hard to control, and furthermore, its skin, scales, and claws are laced with potent poison. If not taken down in an instant, prolonged engagement risks poison contact during breaths, leading to certain demise. If this demon escapes, evolves intelligence, transforms, and gains magic, it could indeed wreak havoc in this land.

But, unfortunately for it, it met Huangfu Yi! With the Five Immortals Sword Scripture unleashed! Direct poison immunity! With a single swing, four sword shadows are unleashed!

That's right! Since there cannot be a qualitative leap in the moves within an instant, victory is achieved through quantity! A moment ago, it was a single rod with double shadows! Now it's one sword with four energies! If struck, limbs will be severed to end your life!

Moreover, not only are there two additional poisonous sword energies! With the Five Immortals Sword Scripture's augmentation, Huangfu Yi's own power and sword strength have increased by at least twenty percent! Sword speed suddenly surged! Rapid and unparalleled!

Thus, although the Flame Wind Blazing Fire Sword Technique remains the same, this time the might and impact are decidedly different! The iron rod waved furiously, radiating flashes of golden light, Qi Blades clashing, winds of flame swirling in four directions! As the sword light swings, sword energy surges to the ground! Blazing fire spreads!

Suddenly, rolling Qi Waves, fierce Sword Wind, assault from all directions! Enveloping the palace-guardian demon into a stormy vortex!

This is precisely, Purple Mist pierces the sky altering the clouds and wind, Red Evil ignites the land burning the world! Divine Gang forges the sword with Yang brilliance, Yao Guang pierces the heavens to slay demon evils!

Dodge now! Let's see where you'll escape next!

"Swish!"

"Smack!"

Then, a sword whirls in flight, light flashes, the palace-guardian demon, caught off guard, is consecutively slashed by four swords, shattered into eight pieces, landing on the ground like a dead fish broken into pulp.

Hmm, it's just like that, regardless of being a demon who cultivated for thousands of years, devouring countless humans to form a Demon God.

One sword, can kill them all.

Thus, Huangfu Yi skillfully slices open, skins and debones, extracts the Demon Core for consumption, then discovers that this palace-guardian demon is of the Returning Dust attribute poison core, perfectly suited to temper a mouthful of Returning Dust Immortal Qi with the Five Immortals Sword Scripture, and thus he trains accordingly.

Of course, it's unimaginable for Huangfu Yi to ignore practicing the Five Immortals Sword Scripture.

Despite the system evaluating it as inadequate here and lacking there, and being just so-so, in a place like Taiji Heaven where everyone is considered trash, even a waste can dominate the world, this has already become a genuine path to Ascend to Immortality, alright!

However, the Five Immortals Sword Scripture and Xuan Nu Refining Form indeed have a bit of conflict.

After all, Qi Gong can be simply classified into two parts: "exhaling" and "inhaling".

Like the Yao Guang Sword Technique, Sword Control Skills, Blazing Fire, and Gang Fist belong to the "exhaling" Qi techniques. These techniques are intended to harm the enemy, no matter how they are tempered and honed. Ultimately, they need to be inflicted upon the opponent's body, therefore, the sharper and more lethal the Qi is refined, the stronger the destructive power. But if you aim to practice Body Refinement, to achieve longevity, such "vicious Qi" is of no use.

While the Five Immortals Sword Scripture and Xuan Nu Refining Form, in essence, belong to inhaling Qi and body cultivation methods, pointing directly to the highest Dao's evolution direction, these are not intended for hurting others but for refining and honing the True Qi of the universe, gathering them to sculpt one's body for personal use, to comprehensively enhance body qualities.

Although during the early stages of the Five Immortals Sword Scripture, the Poison Qi can also be refined and utilized as a Poison Sword to increase damage, by the mid-stage, these Five Immortals Poison Qi eventually must be like the Sword Control Skill's sword energy, refined to thread-like fineness, fused with poisonous creatures and demon beasts, refined into five Lifebound Gu avatars.

Then using the five Gu avatars, cultivating Lifebound Immortal Qi, constantly breathing True Breath, nurturing oneself, practicing together with the Gu as if having five Daoist companions for Energy Replenishment, continuously cultivating in a group, complementing each other, forming a small circulation path, the cultivation speed thus naturally multiplies.

However, the Five Immortals Sword Scripture requires at least five kinds of poisonous creatures gathered to be mastered. Currently, Huangfu Yi has only consumed scorpion, snake, and gecko, barely refining three Poison Qi, and hasn't found a proper Lifebound Immortal Gu, thus the cultivation progress is temporarily surpassed by the Xuan Nu Refining Form Technique directly empowered by celestial essence.

But since demon poison creatures are easy to find, one might even say that in today's demon-chaos world, they roam the paths, they are everywhere, if one truly starts practicing it would be extremely fast. But to wait for this celestial essence crystal to fully digest its purity, where then could one find such pure and supreme Innate True Breath?
