The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1245 650: Mission Accomplished_2

It requires a large amount of Earth Rope Energy to form the Earth Capture Crystal.

Another thing to consider is that the sword world is vast and contains banesouls. Because banesouls must be avoided, one can actually descend more quickly outside the sword.

The downside of being outside the sword is that the farther you go, the colder it gets. Eventually, it becomes so cold that Qi Condensation disciples can't survive. At some point, for their own safety, there's no choice but to enter the sword world. Ultimately, the decision of when to enter the sword world depends on each person's strength and determination of what's best for them.

Yan Xiaobao already has quite a high cold resistance, and thinking about this now, it made sense to go down as far as possible before choosing an entry point. This would put him ahead of many who were already inside the sword.

Time flew by. Yan Xiaobao moved at top speed, almost a blur. He wasn't even aware of it, but he had almost surpassed all other Qi Condensation disciples who had entered the sword. The cold grew more intense until he started stiffening. In the end, he reached the point where moving further would potentially harm him.

As he looked down at the black sphere below, he took a deep breath.

"I think I can go another 300 meters..." He tried using some paper amulets to fend off the cold, but they were ineffective. Shaking his head, he started looking around for a gap. Suddenly, he noticed a place about 90 meters ahead where a young man stood beside the sword body.

As soon as the young man sensed Yan Xiaobao, he looked over, and their gazes locked. Yan Xiaobao immediately recognized who this cold and malicious young man was.

"Blood Flow Sect. Song Que!"

"Spirit Sect. Yan Xiaobao!" Yan Xiaobao's scalp prickled, feeling it might explode. The person standing before him had the ability to kill Foundation cultivators and had formed an unprecedented savage legend in Heaven. From what Uncle Bai knew, he should've entered the sword world earlier. What exactly could he do outside the sword?

When Song Que's gaze locked on him, Yan Xiaobao felt a deadly sense of crisis, and if Yan Xiaobao made the slightest move, the brewing intent to kill seemed like it might erupt.

Song Que was equally shocked. He never thought a second person beside himself could reach this level. Considering the cold, this place was clearly beyond the Qi Condensation stage's limit, and most other options couldn't reach it. Yet here was Yan Xiaobao, seemingly without trouble.

As he stared at Yan Xiaobao, Song Que recalled the information he had read about him in the jade slip given by his sect.

The two looked at each other, completely motionless. To Song Que, Yan Xiaobao was a mysterious and incredible figure. Although he seemed to have no intent to kill, Song Que's intuition told him that if he tried to attack... one of them would likely die. Also, he wasn't entirely sure he'd be the one alive.

After a long moment, Song Que initiated the conversation.

"60 meters below is an entry point."

Yan Xiaobao's eyes flickered, and despite his heart being shocked, he slowly resumed moving downward. Of course, he had no way of knowing, but this made Song Que's heartbeat faster as he prepared to counterattack the moment Yan Xiaobao took action.

When the two were only a few meters apart, Song Que suddenly moved aside as if to shield a section of the sword behind him, his eyes flashing with a threatening light.

"Sneaky little punk," Yan Xiaobao muttered to himself. "He's definitely up to no good!" He continued downward until he reached the 60-meter mark mentioned by Song Que. Sure enough, there was an opening. After some inspection, Yan Xiaobao relaxed a bit and then walked inside.

After he disappeared, Song Que breathed a sigh of relief. Considering how his sect introduced the explanation about Uncle Bai, Song Que knew he wasn't someone to take lightly. In the end, evil glinted in Song Que's eyes. After reaching the sixth level of Qi Condensation, he never needed to act this cautiously towards anyone. He even told Yan Xiaobao about the entrance below.

"This Yan Xiaobao might be extraordinary, but once my plans are implemented, I'll kill him as easily as stepping on an ant!" With his eyes burning with killing intent and passion, he turned to study the sword's surface.

"The report from Advanced Infinity was accurate. This is the energy node!"

Yan Xiaobao felt like he was passing through water. Moments later, he entered the sword world. Everything around him was black and white.

The sky was white, the land black. Everything was like an ink painting...

The mountains undulated, black rivers swirling, and above him, countless stars twinkling like eyes seemed to flicker.

The most astonishing thing was how the entire world was tilted. Yan Xiaobao almost felt like he was standing on a hillside.

It was a strange feeling, taking some time to get used to.

"What kind of sword is this? Does it have a complete world inside? It's much smaller than the outside real world, yet still utterly breathtaking." As he looked around, he realized he was completely alone. Based on his calculation, he wasn't in the deepest part of the sword world, but he was undoubtedly further than most other disciples.

After some thought, he moved downward, away from the entrance. After enough time for half an incense stick to burn, he reached the top of a small hill, and his expression flickered. His right hand shot out, flashing silver, and he flicked his two fingers in the air to the side.

A black snake appeared next to him, ripples spreading out, as wide as his fingers. Before it could do anything, it flew to his hand, and he grabbed it behind the jaw.

The snake emitted a piercing screech, instantly breaking the silence, as it coiled around Yan Xiaobao's forearm and squeezed tightly.

Yan Xiaobao was amazed at the snake's power. If not for his physical body potentially touching the first shackle, the snake likely could've easily freed itself.

He pressed with two fingers, and a cracking sound emerged as the snake's head was crushed. The snake softened and then simply dissolved into a stream of gray energy, roughly incense-width, immediately beginning to float.

"So this is Earth energy, huh?" He quickly took out his Dao Bottle to collect it. After shaking the bottle, he watched as the Earth's energy material transformed into a drop of gray liquid.

"I need some droplet-like things to fill up the bottle..." Startled, he looked back towards where he came from. If he needed to kill a thousand gallows in this area to fill the bottle, who knows how many he would need to kill further on.

"I need to be faster. I must form that Earth Capture Crystal as soon as possible." With this, he raced ahead at top speed, searching for banebeasts along the way. Three days later, his Dao Bottle contained about thirty drops of gray liquid.

During these three days, he had to slaughter dozens of frantic beings to get so little. He felt like he was moving at a snail's pace.

"At this rate, it will take more than two months to form the Earth Capture Crystal." He gritted his teeth, standing there, realizing the best thing would be to go deeper. He then continued forward at top speed. Two hours later, he abruptly stopped because he saw two corpses ahead.

These were the first people Yan Xiaobao had seen inside the sword world. Apparently, they had reached here at top speed, or perhaps had other means of achieving this.

One of them was dressed in Spiritual Flow Sect attire, an Inner Sect disciple from the South Shore. The other wore Pill Stream Sect uniform. Clearly, the two fought fiercely here to the death. The Pill Stream Sect disciple held a Dao Bottle in their hand.

Even from afar, Uncle Bai recognized the South Shore disciple. Zhou Youdao from Violet Peak's Inner Sect. He was one of the last five to enter the third entry. He was incredibly eager to deal with Yan Xiaobao as Uncle Bai to solve, and on the underground trip outside the sword, he fought well with disciples from other sects. Yan Xiaobao never thought he would perish.
