As the sun rose high in the sky and dawn broke, after the mature woman in black stockings had fallen into a deep sleep...
Without bidding farewell to anyone, Jiang Che transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky, flying on his sword, rising straight up into the azure clouds, his sword shadow piercing the air, fleeting and shimmering, heading directly towards the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, 300,000 miles away.
It moved at an extreme speed, disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.
"Bad guy~"
Watching Jiang Che's departing figure on his sword, Jialuo's face flushed, her expression alluring, her eyes glazed. She let out a soft moan, her delicate body limp and powerless as she lay back on the soft couch, her eyelashes fluttering, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
Before drifting off to sleep, the woman in black stockings had only one thought in her mind: to drag her best friend down with her as soon as possible, and to make sure she received the other's full support to form a defensive alliance.
Otherwise, if this continues, she really will die!
…………
After leaving the Great Wall, Jiang Che rode on his flying sword, his figure standing a thousand feet above the sky, heading towards the far north of the Cloud Desert.
He unleashed his sword control technique and the supernatural ability of "reaching the ends of the earth in an instant" to the fullest extent. The sword shadows pierced the air, and the clouds were constantly shattered by the impact. Swift as thunder, in just a moment, the Great Wall had turned into a vast black dot and disappeared without a trace.
With my head slightly bowed and body bent down, I admired the unique beauty of the desert landscape, and a sense of grandeur welled up within me.
Yunzhong has been desolate since ancient times, vast and boundless, with yellow sand filling the sky, not a blade of grass growing, barren land stretching for thousands of miles, and no human habitation.
As far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight; all that can be seen are ruins, withered trees and broken stones, a long river under the setting sun, and waves of sand rising and falling, a vast and boundless expanse.
The desolate and lonely clouds are also poetic and picturesque. Standing a thousand feet above the sky and looking down at this vast and boundless world always brings a strong sense of awe.
"System, I need to refresh the entries..."
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes, opened his arms, and let the howling wind rush towards him, blowing his hair wildly and making his robes flutter. He then communicated directly with the system in his mind.
Having been at the Great Wall for seven days, Jiang Che had long since reached the deadline for randomly refreshing the entries, and naturally, he wouldn't forget such an important matter.
"Ding, refreshing..."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the golden divine power entry: Great Luo Sword Technique..."
"Would you like to receive the initiation immediately, host...?"
"Immediate initiation!"
Jiang Che gave an instruction to the system, then focused his mind and began to slowly experience the wonderful feeling of being empowered by the system's cultivation technique.
The Great Luo Sword Technique—just hearing the name was enough to tell that this divine ability was extraordinary, and Jiang Che was quite looking forward to it.
As the system's initiation began, many images suddenly appeared deep within Jiang Che's mind, flashing through his mind like a fleeting glimpse. All the sword techniques and moves related to the Great Luo Sword Art were firmly imprinted in his mind.
A full hour passed before Jiang Che finally received the complete inheritance of the Great Luo Sword Technique and slowly opened his eyes.
"This Great Luo Sword Technique is indeed remarkable, even stronger than the Taiyi Sword Technique!"
Jiang Che muttered to himself, secretly clicking his tongue in surprise.
Aside from the purple-gold attribute [Five Elements Great Escape] that Jiang Che obtained during his last stroke of luck, this was the first time he had obtained a divine ability attribute of the gold rank.
Previously, those entries such as Taiyi Sword Technique, Tathagata Palm, and "Close at Hand, Far Away" were only purple-grade level 1 or 2.
When Jiang Che fought the Azure Water Dragon in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range last time, he witnessed firsthand the power of the Tathagata Palm.
If even the Tathagata Palm, which is only of the purple grade, has such terrifying power, how astonishing would the Great Luo Sword Technique be if I were to go all out and unleash it?
Having acquired such a powerful supernatural ability right after setting off, Jiang Che became even more excited for the journey ahead.
With the divine power of the Great Luo Sword Technique by his side, he was no longer afraid of the Black Mountain Lord, this Qilin beast, even though the other party's cultivation was two minor realms higher than his own.
Possessing all sorts of supernatural abilities and cultivating various supreme techniques, if one still cannot fight beyond one's level, one might as well just smash one's head against a wall and die!

........................
Jiang Che looked at his now incredibly impressive affix panel with a broad smile, feeling extremely satisfied!
In just ten days since arriving at the Great Wall, he has not only successfully won over the noble and aloof, cold-on-the-outside-but-inside-on-the-inside black-stockinged mature woman, Jialuo, but also gained a great many supernatural power entries. His cultivation has also broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It can be said that he has gained a lot!
Next, if I can really intercept the so-called demon god's inheritance in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, this trip to the clouds can be considered a complete success.
Once his cultivation breaks through to the Void Refinement stage, he can lead his adorable Cai Wenji back to the Three Kingdoms region and take Cao Cao's head!
150: The winds of war rise, the immortal sword arrives, a single sword chills fourteen provinces!
Riding the wind on a sword, soaring straight up ninety thousand miles.
After leaving the Great Wall, it took Jiang Che three hours and traversed 300,000 li of territory before he finally arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, located in the far north of the Cloud Desert.
Standing atop a thousand feet in the sky, Jiang Che stood with his hands behind his back, surveying the undulating mountain range before him, with its countless cliffs and valleys reaching into the clouds, its peaks overlapping one after another.
Compared to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, the Ten Thousand Demon Cave is much larger, stretching almost across the northern part of the Cloud Desert. It is home to countless kinds of demonic beasts, all under the jurisdiction of the Qilin alien species, Black Mountain Lord.
As far as the eye could see, demonic energy permeated the air, and demonic flames raged, filling the air with a thin layer of black mist and demonic flames.
It was midday, and the sun was shining brightly, but the sunlight couldn't penetrate the rolling mountains of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. The entire mountain range was shrouded in darkness, and from time to time, various piercing and unpleasant roars of demonic beasts could be heard, which was quite eerie.
Jiang Che did not choose to make a move immediately. Instead, he used his divine sense to cover the endless void within a radius of ten thousand miles and began to search for the traces of Black Mountain Lord little by little.
His body transformed into a stream of light, his figure constantly shifting and leaping across the sky.
A quarter of an hour later, after Jiang Che had thoroughly investigated all the situations in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, he controlled his figure to slowly descend from a height of a thousand feet and enter the outer desert.
As soon as Jiang Che set foot in the area of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, he was quickly targeted by some low-level demonic beasts active on the outskirts.
In an instant, more than a dozen fierce and greedy eyes converged on Jiang Che.
"Roar!"
These demonic beasts roared angrily and pounced on Jiang Che with bared fangs and claws.
They were all just first- or second-tier demonic beasts, lacking intelligence and driven by their instincts and desires.
Therefore, upon seeing Jiang Che, this human, suddenly appear, their first thought was to tear him to pieces!
Jiang Che had no interest in making a move. He merely glanced at the group of demonic beasts rushing towards him, locked onto them with his divine soul, and instantly annihilated them all, leaving not even a trace of ashes behind.
These demonic beasts are of too low a grade to be of any use to Jiang Che now, and he has no interest in them whatsoever.
After dealing with the monsters surrounding the Demon Cave, Jiang Che moved swiftly towards the depths, intending to kill a few third- and fourth-tier monsters to give his Jinghong Sword a taste of blood and "enlighten" it.
Sword shadows flashed incessantly, their chilling light filling the void and pressing down for miles. From the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave came the screams of various wild beasts, their wails echoing across the land.
Wherever Jiang Che went, rivers of blood flowed and corpses littered the ground, as if he were a death god from hell, mercilessly taking the lives of these demonic beasts.
………………
After carving a bloody path and slaughtering all the demonic beasts within a thousand miles, Jiang Che acquired a bunch of all sorts of random and miscellaneous entries.
After warming up, Jiang Che's figure soared into the sky, transforming into a stream of light. With one step, he covered a distance of ten thousand miles.
In a short while, they arrived at the main peak cave where the Black Mountain Lord resided.
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a thought, he took out the Jinghong Sword from the system space. Then, he connected with the immense magical power in his dantian to empower himself and directly unleashed the supreme sword technique he had just acquired, the Great Luo Sword Manual.
As if sensing its master's overwhelming fighting spirit, the Jinghong Sword began to emit a series of sword cries that resounded through the sky, shook the universe, and lingered for a long time!
With a swift movement, Jiang Che unleashed a sword strike.
In an instant, the weather changed drastically. The sky above the Ten Thousand Demon Cave began to change violently. Dark clouds covered the sky and the sun, strong winds rose, and fierce gales howled endlessly for thousands of miles!
A dazzling golden sword light burst forth from the Jinghong Sword, piercing the air, shaking mountains and earth, and tearing apart the sky. Unable to withstand this overwhelming pressure, the main peak of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave began to tremble violently, teetering on the verge of collapse.
A golden sword beam stretched across the sky, ravaging everything, stirring up the wind and clouds, reversing yin and yang, and gathering its strength to unleash its devastating power. With overwhelming force and unparalleled might, it hurtled straight toward the main peak of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave!
The sword's aura covered the void for tens of thousands of miles. All the demonic beasts covered by the sword's aura trembled, their bodies went limp, and their hearts were filled with extreme fear. They couldn't even muster the slightest thought of escaping.
Inside the cave, Lord Black Mountain sat on the throne, a symbol of supreme status, his brows slightly furrowed, and he subconsciously looked up at the heavens above.
His gaze was cold and piercing, seeing through all illusions, as he confronted Jiang Che across the clouds.
He was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, with a tall and straight posture. He looked to be about sixty years old, with white hair and beard, but his face did not show any signs of aging. He was ruddy-faced and full of energy.
If you ignore the extremely cold aura emanating from him, his appearance alone would easily make people mistake him for a venerable immortal who has achieved great cultivation.
The moment their eyes met, Black Mountain Lord sensed an undisguised, intense killing intent emanating from the human cultivator's gaze.
Although I have no idea when I acquired such an enemy, now is clearly not the time to dwell on these things.
The golden sword light, carrying overwhelming power, hurtled straight toward his cave. If he didn't make a move, the entire cave would probably be reduced to nothingness in an instant, and his demon followers would be killed or wounded.
With this thought in mind, Black Mountain Lord no longer hesitated. He slammed his hand on the table, and his figure instantly disappeared from his seat. The next moment, he appeared ten thousand feet in the sky, waving his hands repeatedly and unleashing immense magical power.
A barrier over a thousand feet long, blazing with demonic flames, suddenly appeared in the sky. The array materialized, and the Yin energy permeated the surrounding void, covering tens of thousands of miles, resisting the golden sword light.
The formation materialized, presenting a terrifying scene of hell, with demons and monsters roaming freely, and all sorts of ghostly wails and howls emanating from it.
In that instant, the boundless darkness that shrouded all demons vanished, and the surrounding mountains within a radius of ten thousand miles were enveloped in a layer of blood red, filled with a murderous aura. The demons and monsters within the formation transformed into black mist, cackling and grotesquely attacking the golden sword light relentlessly.
The golden sword light tore through the void and instantly collided fiercely with the Myriad Ghosts Formation!
In an instant, an extremely dazzling golden sword light burst forth in the void, pressing down in all directions and devouring all kinds of demons and monsters. Then, with its power undiminished, it went straight towards the direction of Black Mountain Lord's cave!
"Boom!"
A deafening roar shook the universe, echoing through the heavens and stretching across the surrounding void, completely dispelling the gathering dark clouds.
The myriad ghosts array that covered all directions could only last for a moment under the overwhelming power of the golden sword light before it shattered and turned into nothingness!
The main peak of the Demon Cave was affected by the golden sword light, and the mountain collapsed and disintegrated instantly!
Countless rocks tumbled down, carrying withered trees and broken stones, stirring up a cloud of dust and sand.
The earth began to tremble violently, stretching out a huge ravine over ten thousand feet deep, its bottom unseen.
Under the golden sword light, all the demonic beasts, including the six great demon kings under the Black Mountain Lord, were completely annihilated!
Tragic wails echoed in all directions, cries of anguish filled the land, blood splattered in the sky, blood rained down from the heavens, and corpses littered the ground.
The terrifying aftershocks spread across the void for tens of thousands of miles, distorting the air in an instant, constantly cutting and crushing it, only to instantly return to normal.
Ripples spread through the void, and the entire world was enveloped in boundless, dazzling golden light.
The sword energy soared straight into the sky, stood atop the abyss, swept across all directions, and stirred up the wind and clouds.
