Chapter 61 I owe you my life

In his previous life, Zhang Qian was an innate creature, the ancient dragon loach, and his lifespan was extremely long. He could be considered a person who had tasted immortality. After coming to the Xihuang world, he lost everything, and became even more eager to achieve immortality!
All the efforts of the cultivators in the world are for the purpose of attaining immortality. As long as they can achieve immortality, countless people are willing to fall into the evil path and countless people are willing to give up all their bottom lines. This is the charm of immortality.

However, after Gai Xianfan achieved great perfection in his soul, he was able to decisively cut off his own body, abandon his cultivation, and give up immortality for the sake of his own swordsmanship. This was simply incomprehensible.

"madman!"

Zhang Qian couldn't think of any other words to describe Gai Xianfan. He knew that people like Gai Xianfan didn't care about anything. Although he was a member of the Jianhu Palace, even if the Jianhu Palace was destroyed in front of him, Gai Xianfan would not frown. There was only his own swordsmanship in his heart.

"So the Demon King of the Eighth Palace has already died?"

The sword shadow condensed behind Gai Xianfan: "Over the years, countless people have entered Shangyuan Bajing Palace. I have learned hundreds of sword intents from them, but you are the first person to come to me."

Gai Xianfan did not directly answer Zhang Qian's question, but what he said was equivalent to saying that the Demon King of the Eighth Palace had been killed by him long ago.

Zhang Qian recalled what happened in the sect's main hall three days ago. Obviously, as the sect's supreme leader, Li Qingcheng must know the situation in the Eighth Palace, but he did not explain it at all. He just let Zhang Qian break into Shangyuan Bajing Palace. No one knew what Li Qingcheng's real intention was.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Qian suppressed this doubt and looked at the extraordinary Gai Xianfan.

"So, you saw everything I did in the previous seven palaces?"

Gai Xianfan glanced at Zhang Qian and said slowly, "I can only sense the sword intent used by those who entered Shangyuan Bajing Palace. I am not interested in the rest. Go ahead, let me see the real Zhuxian sword intent!"

Zhang Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for he understood that the other party had not seen what he had done in Shangyuan Bajing Palace, but had only sensed his Zhuxian sword intent.

Zhang Qian didn't want to reveal the magical power such as the Heavenly Demon Pagoda.

Shaking his head, Zhang Qian said calmly: "Your body has not been reborn yet, and your cultivation is far from recovered. With just the sword in your hand, you are no match for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qian's extremely powerful mind surged and transformed into thousands of sharp swords of mind, enveloping Gai Xianfan.

At this moment, Gai Xianfan's body has not been reborn. Without the protection of his body, he would be nakedly exposed to Zhang Qian's terrifying mind. Zhang Qian only needs to think about it, and Gai Xianfan's soul would be torn into pieces!
If it was Gai Xianfan who was reborn in physical form, even if it was a very fragile physical body, Zhang Qian's mind would not be able to play much of a role. There was no other way, the physical body was the armor of the mind and soul, which could protect the soul firmly.

Gai Xianfan's mind and soul were also considered strong. After all, he was once a powerful being who had reached the state of great perfection of the soul. Although his cultivation had dissipated a lot due to his self-destruction, it was still inferior to Zhang Qian.

Sensing the densely packed swords of the mind around him, Gai Xianfan's dead look in his eyes moved: "You are right, I will die if I fight you, but I still want to see your Zhuxian sword intent. Over the years, I have faced countless sword intents, but only this Zhuxian sword intent makes me unable to comprehend it!"

Zhang Qian looked at him for a while and suddenly laughed. He put away the Hanchi Sword and the three sword pills. The sharp swords in his mind suddenly turned into soft ropes, which gently wrapped around Gai Xianfan and made him unable to move.

"You are an interesting person, why do you want to die? Remember, you owe me a life."

Chi!
Zhang Qian snapped his fingers, and a sword intent of Zhu Xian that was condensed to the extreme flew out and went straight into the sword shadow behind Gai Xianfan.

hum!
The sword shadow behind Gai Xianfan turned red and filled with murderous aura. The tied-up Gai Xianfan closed his eyes and immersed himself in the supreme sword intent of Zhuxian.

However, in just a short moment, Gai Xianfan's sword shadow returned to its original state, and the trace of Zhuxian sword intent had automatically dissipated. He opened his eyes and sighed: "What is not mine is not mine after all. Such sword intent should be the best in the world. I forced myself to understand it, but I fell behind and could not understand it. Go away, I will return your life."

After saying this, Gai Xianfan suddenly snapped his fingers, and a small sword-shaped jade talisman fell into Zhang Qian's hand. Then he sat cross-legged again, pressed his hand on the sword, and entered a state of concentration.

Zhang Qian took a closer look and found that the jade talisman was actually a message jade talisman. He put it in his storage bag and said, "Good luck!"

After saying hello, Zhang Qian walked to a corner of the stone platform in two or three steps. There was a round platform here, which was the passage leading to the outside world.

"I didn't expect the Eighth Palace to be like this. I'm afraid even Xiao Daoyi doesn't know about it? Maybe only a few people in the entire Jianhu Palace know about Gai Xianfan's existence."

With a sigh, Zhang Qian stepped onto the circular stone platform. A portal appeared and led him outside.

"Look, he's out!" "Incredible, he actually broke through Shangyuan Bajing Palace in such a short time!"

"Too scary. Who on earth is this Zhang Qian? He is only at the Qi Refining stage. How did he do this?"

"Look at Xiao Daoyi's face. Tsk tsk, he lost miserably this time."

"Well, he deserves it. I've disliked him for a long time. It's just right that he falls!"

At this moment, Xiao Daoyi's face looked very bad, but he looked calm. However, the gloom in his eyes could not be concealed. Although he was prepared to lose the bet, he still felt extremely uncomfortable now that he really lost.

The disciples in the square were still discussing and looking at Zhang Qian who had broken through the barrier with surprise.

"This is too fast. Isn't it said that the Heavenly Demon King in the Eighth Palace can fight against a third-level Jindan cultivator?"

"He broke through Shangyuan Bajing Palace in less than a day. I'm afraid Zhang Qian will become famous."

"After all these years, he is still the first person to break into Shangyuan Bajing Palace. Xiao Daoyi loses!"

"Humph, who knows if the Supreme Master is secretly letting us go."

Those who said that Li Qingcheng secretly let the enemy win did not understand Shangyuan Bajing Palace at all. Although this treasure was the most precious treasure of Jianhu Palace, Li Qingcheng was not its owner. Shangyuan Bajing Palace was too big. It took countless divine materials to refine this treasure, which was not something Li Qingcheng could refine. So he could only use this treasure.

It was because Zhang Qian had known this from Li Qingque a long time ago that he dared to use the magical power of the Heavenly Demon Pagoda, otherwise he would have been discovered by Li Qingcheng long ago.

brush!
Zhang Qian's figure appeared out of nowhere. He only had time to nod to Li Qingque. Before he could say anything else, a strong suction force suddenly appeared deep inside his body.

The suction came very suddenly, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was attracted by the suction and swarmed in.

"This……"

Zhang Qian didn't have much preparation, he hurriedly sat down cross-legged, secretly practicing the "Taiyi Demon Refining Golden Chapter", looked inward with his mind, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turned out that it was because I suppressed it too harshly. I increased the strength of my physical body in Shangyuan Bajing Palace in one go, but unfortunately there was no spiritual energy inside. Now that I came out, my physical body actually automatically attracted spiritual energy."

After figuring out the reason, Zhang Qian stopped thinking about anything else. He focused his mind on the matter, wantonly plundering the surrounding spiritual energy and devouring it madly.

Soon, a spiritual energy vortex visible to the naked eye appeared. The spiritual energy vortex spun rapidly, attracting more spiritual energy from the heaven and earth. An ancient dragon loach about ten feet long appeared in the vortex, swallowing the spiritual energy from the heaven and earth in big gulps.

hum!
Zhang Qian's Dantian shook, and a vortex of true energy appeared inside, drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the vortex and transforming it into Taiyi Demon Refining True Qi.

In a flash, Zhang Qian felt a feeling of fullness in his dantian. As soon as he thought about it, the true energy in his dantian became sharp and rushed out along the meridians.

Boo boo boo…!
A series of explosions sounded, and at this moment it seemed as if a string of firecrackers were lit in Zhang Qian's body, making a series of explosions.

With the explosion, acupuncture points were opened up one after another.

"This is!"

Everyone present was surprised and looked at each other. When had they seen such a rough way of opening acupoints? Aren’t they afraid that their bodies would not be able to withstand the damage?
Seeing Zhang Qian's breakthrough in public, Li Qingcheng felt relieved. His doubts about Zhang Qian hiding his cultivation level also disappeared. However, he became more curious. Since Zhang Qian did not hide his cultivation level, how did he get such a strong mind and power?

The man next to Li Qingcheng asked in shock, "Master, how could he...how could he get through the Eighth Palace? The being in the Eighth Palace only has the sword in his mind and would never hold back. But why is Zhang Qian unscathed?"

Li Qingcheng did not answer. He looked deeply at Zhang Qian who was sitting cross-legged, wondering what he was thinking.
