Chapter 188: Heart Questioning Sword Cave, Burning Rainbow Sword

The clone’s body was no longer easy to control. He fell back to the ground from the stone platform and his entire body began to deform!

His figure rose, his bones deformed, and his skin turned purple. Sharp claws stretched out from his ten fingers, and a sharp pain came from his forehead. There were actually two small horns growing out of his skull.

It could be seen that the clone’s vital structure was transforming towards the corpse’s on the stone platform’s bone throne.

Moreover, the mental world of the clone was also invaded by that force.

The pure white mental world had just been attacked by eight evil spirits. This time, it was corroded by a wave of scarlet blood.

This thing was slightly similar to when Jiang Li cultivated the Beast Blood Diagram, but the feeling it gave him was countless times more terrifying.

Anger, hatred, and all sorts of chaotic emotions transformed into a bloody fog that surged out from all directions and constantly soaked into Jiang Li’s parallel mind.

Most importantly, this thing had nothing to do with souls. The Ghost Lantern Cold Flame and Nine Nether Wood were useless.

It seemed that it was not so easy to take advantage of others. While obtaining this chaotic power, the price was to lose oneself, or even become inhuman in the end!

When he saw this, Jiang Li felt dense fear towards the asura corpse.

He originally wanted to circulate the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra and pull the parallel mind back to take refuge.

However, on second thought, if he gave up an important part of the sword cultivator clone’s life, the benefits of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra would probably be greatly reduced when he retracted his parallel mind.

After weighing the pros and cons, Jiang Li still did not choose to interfere. He allowed the clone’s body and soul to become unrecognizable under the modification of the blood of madness.

Under the power of chaos, the only thing that was still resisting was the light sword that represented the talent of Sword Heart.

The sword of light was not easily tainted by the blood color, but its strength was insufficient. It did not have the ability to resist the blood color climbing onto the sword. It could only try its best to release light in an attempt to slow down the process.

With this excessive release of power, coupled with chaotic contamination.

The Sword Heart Light Sword finally could not endure the burden. A crack suddenly appeared on it, and the gaps began to quickly spread.

When the cracks spread throughout the entire body and the light sword shattered, it would mean that the Sword Heart talent of the sword cultivator clone had been destroyed.

To a Shu Mountain sword cultivator, this was even harder to accept than death.

The huge asura corpse seemed to have sensed that something was resisting its power. A force suddenly flowed out of its body and slowly surged into the sword cultivator clone, accelerating this change even more.

However, as the change intensified, a hidden problem was exposed.

That was, the essence of the sword cultivator clone was actually a corpse too!

He completely relied on the profundity of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra to appear no different from a living person.

However, the essence of this clone’s body did not change at all.

If it was the Goddess of Mercy herself, it might be easy to resurrect the dead, but to a weak newbie like Jiang Li, it was still far from enough.

This was also the reason why the sword cultivator clone had always received Jiang Li’s Spirit Surging Technique, but his cultivation had not improved much.

It could live a relatively normal life and be almost the same as a full resurrection, but once it exceeded a certain limit, the outcome would be hard to say.

Now, the intense modification of the blood of madness seemed to want to directly change the race of the clone. Clearly, it had already severely exceeded this limit.

Cardiac arrest, dilated pupils, and organ failure.

The sword cultivator clone’s body suddenly showed signs of death, and its vitality suddenly slowed down until it stopped.

The false resurrection created by the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra was suddenly halted without any warning.

In other words, the unlucky sword cultivator clone died again.

This forced the blood of madness that was modifying the clone’s body to stop.

This power could not transform a dead person into an asura.

Halfway through the transformation, it suddenly realized that the body was a dead person. What should it do now?

The blood of madness, which did not have any intelligence, ran around in the clone’s body.

However, the power of chaos could not do anything in this situation, and it was completely useless. The lifeless body no longer changed. In the end, the terrifying blood of madness gathered in the heart in his chest and quietly lay dormant.

The stone chamber fell silent again. There was only a beating heart left that made a faint sound every few minutes.

…

On the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak, Jiang Li politely declined the invitation of the few sword cultivators to spar.

After all, he was the publicly acknowledged number one Qi Refinement cultivator in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region. To the proud Shu Mountain disciples, it would be a sin to not challenge such a person to spar with him.

Even though Jiang Li had already defeated more than twenty experts these past two days, it was still hard to change their enthusiasm.

However, he did not have the time today.

The mystic realm trial had yet to begin.

Through Elder Mu, Jiang Li obtained a chance to enter a cultivation holy land of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.

That place was called the Heart Questioning Sword Cave!

This was the gap between Shu Mountain and the other sects.

Just their mountain alone had several functional mystic realms. The treatment that the Shu Mountain disciples could receive was simply enviable.

“Senior Brother Chang, are you going into the Heart Questioning Sword Cave?”

Shenshan Qiuhua was currently undergoing Elder Mu’s special training and could not be selected for the time being.

Jiang Li went to find the Golden Light Sword, Chang Wanzhou, to help him lead the way.

The two of them arrived before the Heart Questioning Sword Cave together, but the disciple guarding the cave ignored Jiang Li who was from another sect and only thought that Chang Wanzhou wanted to enter to cultivate.

This was because this sword cave was specially used by the Shu Mountain disciples to sharpen their Sword Heart and cultivate their minds. Under normal circumstances, only disciples who had awakened their Sword Heart cultivation were qualified to use it.

Although Jiang Li was powerful, he clearly did not have a Sword Heart. It was useless to be in the Heart Questioning Sword Cave.

“No, I accompanied Junior Brother Jiang Li here this time. This is Elder Mu’s token. You can test it.”

Chang Wanzhou did not explain further. He only handed a token to the disciple guarding the cave.

Actually, today, he wanted to see if Jiang Li had any talent in the Sword Heart.

At that time, when Jiang Li revealed the Sharp Sword Aura Field on the arena, Chang Wanzhou had just been beaten unconscious by Jiang Li, so he naturally did not see that scene.

Later on, when Peak Master Wei Wangxuan told him about this, he was shocked for a long time. After all, Jiang Li had tested it with a rusty sword in front of him.

Now, he was suddenly told that Jiang Li actually had the Sword Heart and had just awakened it. Wouldn’t the blame of “negligence” causing the sect to lose a super genius fall on him?

Although the sect did not blame him, he still could not help but blame himself.

A moment later, the disciple guarding the cave confirmed it.

“Senior Brother Chang, Junior Brother Jiang, please come in.”

Alright, a genius of Chang Wanzhou’s level did not need the approval of an elder to enter the Heart Questioning Sword Cave.

He walked into the Heart Questioning Sword Cave. It was a very beautiful natural cave.

However, unlike ordinary caves, the stalactites hanging on the ceiling and the stalagmites erected on the ground were all sharp swords.

If a strand of hair was pulled out and blown on it, it would be split into two without any delay.

He even went up to carefully observe them. On each stone sword, there were stronger or weaker sword qi attached.

Jiang Li marveled at this, and Chang Wanzhou had a proud expression as he explained the origins and past of this sword cave to Jiang Li.

According to him, this Heart Questioning Sword Cave was once the place where the ancestors of Shu Mountain entered seclusion to comprehend the sword. It was also the place where the fallen sword cultivators buried their swords.

Over the years, generations of people took over. Their comprehension and persistence towards the sword were carved inch by inch in this cave.

Cultivating sword techniques here was really suitable. There were even smart disciples who had comprehended powerful sword techniques and sharp sword intent here.

It could be said to be a rare treasure ground.

Jiang Li came here because he wanted to make up for his shortcomings before he reached the Foundation Establishment realm.

Cultivating the mind was not much different from spirit refinement. This place might be able to help him.

When he reached the depths of the sword cave, the stalactite swords here were even more terrifying than the ones outside. With the naked eye, one could see the dense cold light flickering on the blade.

If he dug them out and used them, their might would probably not be inferior to a Yellow-rank artifact.

Further ahead, thousands of flying swords of various colors stabbed into the ground, looking very magnificent.

This was the Sword Burial Ground for the fallen sword cultivators of Shu Mountain.

None of the Shu Mountain flying swords were lower than the Profound-rank. If others saw this scene, they would feel heartache on the spot.

However, the truth was that the Shu Mountain Sword cultivated the Life-Bound Flying Sword. When the flying sword was damaged, sword cultivators would be injured at the same time. When sword cultivators died, the flying sword would naturally be damaged as well.

This kind of damage affected the foundation and could not be salvaged. Shu Mountain did not lack those materials, so there was naturally no need to reforge them. They let these relics of their ancestors sleep here.

The will they left on the flying sword might also be able to bless their descendants and protect Shu Mountain.

“Junior Brother Jiang, cultivate here. This stone is the center of the entire sword cave. The effects are the best.”

Chang Wanzhou found a place for Jiang Li. It could be seen that there were traces of deliberate polishing on the black rock, and it was smooth and flat.

After thanking him, he sat cross-legged and calmed his mind.

At this moment, a breeze blew through the cave. The swaying sword let out a soft hum, causing his consciousness to quickly empty and enter his mental world.

In Jiang Li’s consciousness, besides himself, there was also the first parallel mind with purple demonic light in his eyes, sitting on the ground with a bitter smile. His entire body was already soaked in blood.

The expression on the first parallel mind’s face alternated between anger and hatred. He looked crazy and chaotic. Clearly, this was not normal.

However, every time the parallel mind was about to go crazy, he would be forcefully pulled back to his senses by Jiang Li.

On his back, the Sword Heart Light Sword had not completely shattered, but it was already not far away.

The light sword was covered in large and small cracks. A large amount of blood-colored matter was filled in the cracks, preventing it from recovering. It was always in a terrible state of near-collapse.

Strictly speaking, the body of the sword cultivator clone was indeed not completely dead. However, according to the standards of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, it was dead.

Therefore, the first parallel mind left his body and returned to Jiang Li’s consciousness.

What Jiang Li needed to do now was to accept everything from the sword cultivator clone to push the level of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra and increase his cultivation in spirit refinement.

As for the sword cultivator clone’s body, he had already gotten the Nine Nether clone to retrieve it. He felt that the body could still be salvaged.

Jiang Li’s consciousness stepped forward and pressed a hand on the forehead of the parallel mind.

In the next moment, a large amount of memories surged over. In front of Jiang Li, a magnificent picture of life unfolded.

Before his first death, Tang Yan had not experienced much. His life could be described as smooth sailing.

He was born in a wealthy family and knew etiquette, music, and poetry since he was young. He had never starved, did hard labor, or fought in groups or visited brothels.

He spent his mortal childhood as a refined and outstanding young master.

Subsequently, in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion’s Immortal Opportunity Test, he was tested to have a top-grade spiritual root. In the Immortal Ascension Assembly, he entered the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak with an unparalleled status.

As a genius potential cultivator, he welcomed the opportunities and turning points of his life.

After that, he entered Shu Mountain and cultivated freely under the tutelage of the Liquor Sword Elder. In the sect, there were cheers and laughter, diligent and tireless training throughout the night, and also a drunken dream.

With the impressive talent of a top-grade spiritual root, he successfully entered the Foundation Establishment realm in just five years.

What followed was friendship and love. When they cultivated the Five Elements Sword Formation together, the purest and most beautiful experiences of their youth came one after another.

Junior Sister Shuang Meng’s voice, smile, and cold hair made him entranced. It was the beauty and gentleness of life.

The last thing he remembered was the sharp teeth of the Golden Core zombie demon stabbing into his neck, as well as Junior Sister Shuang Meng’s eyes that were filled with tears.

The unwillingness and fear before death, as well as the fact that he really did not want to die!

These were the warm memories of his life.

Then, he “revived”.

After being taken over by the parallel mind, the world seemed to have become much wider.

After being pursued by the Golden-Winged Condor, he awakened his Sword Heart talent and destroyed the Scaled Demon Tribe. He discovered the Nine Nether Branch and reunited with his friends and loved ones.

This was a new life and also growth.

After reclaiming his past, he gave it his all in the competition and welcomed his peak again.

However, his life was like a rainbow that lit up the night sky, it ended with just a flash. In the stone room of the ruin, he consumed the blood of madness and died again because he could not withstand the transformation.

Compared to insects, the life of the sword cultivator, Tang Yan, was longer and more exciting. All kinds of complicated and varied sensory emotions were even more profound and deep.

After comprehending everything in this life, Jiang Li’s Bodhisattva Heart Sutra advanced at an extremely fast speed, and his Mind and Enlightenment improved along with it.

[Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra: Level 5 → 6 → 7 → 8]

The corners of Jiang Li’s mouth curled up, and he seemed to be very satisfied.

However, Chang Wanzhou, who was not far away from him, was dumbfounded.

What was he laughing at? This was the first time he had seen someone sit in the Heart Questioning Sword Cave for so long without stimulating their Sword Heart.
