Chapter 569: Sword Gourd Mutation, Departure First
Seeing such a change, Fang Xiao was shocked.
However, everything happened so fast that he had no time to stop it.
He could only watch helplessly as Xu Qiao flew into the sword-raising gourd.
Just as Fang Xiao was about to probe his spiritual consciousness into the sword-raising gourd, its image suddenly changed.
The gourd that was supposed to be a physical entity actually began to become illusory.
To Fang Xiao, it felt like another form of Void.
At the same time, the jade-white gourd body gradually darkened and turned into a dim and chaotic color.
And Fang Xiao's spiritual sense, which he wanted to probe into, was also blocked, and he had no way of probing at all.
At this moment, he sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
'I'm afraid even Grandmaster Taibai could not have imagined that there would be so many variables in the process of opening up the cave in my body.'
First, the spiritual seed on the interface actively replicated the Taoist texts derived from the Hunyuan Sword Body.
After being rejected by Fang Xiao again, the interface spirit seed actively merged into the space seed.
Afterwards, in order to shatter this space seed that reached an unprecedented height, his own natal spiritual treasure, the Taibai Sword Pill, also disappeared inexplicably.
In the end, he saw that another future natal magic weapon was also occupied by Xuqiao, which was his cave heaven.
Fang Xiao didn't know what was going on, but it was obvious that both his cave heaven and his two life treasures, the Taibai Sword Pill and the Sword-Nourishing Gourd, were undergoing some unpredictable changes.
Although Fang Xiao wanted to stop it, after some time he found that gentle means had no effect at all.
But if we use strong measures, we don’t know whether the change is good or bad, let alone whether it can work. Even if it works, it may not lead to new changes.
It may even cause irreparable damage to all three.
These are difficult to predict.
After some hesitation, Fang Xiao finally made a decision, which was to do nothing and just wait and see.
And this time, he did not pay any attention to the possible changes. He was really worried that other variables would appear.
He even put aside the damaged soul-nourishing gourd temporarily and did not rush to repair it.
He just sat there in the void.
And Duan Kong in the distance was also guarding here silently.
……
Time flies, and there are less than ten days left before all parties set out to meet up at Nanyang Road.
In the Zixiao Sect, a beam of light came from far away and finally landed in front of Fang Xiao’s cave.
"It's only been half a year, and this kid has been in seclusion in the cave every day. Could it be that he is still fiddling with his Taoist soldiers?"
The person who came was Li Mobai, and this was his third time to visit Fang Xiao's cave.
The first two times he came, he was sent back by Zhenkong, who was guarding the cave. Now it was almost time to set off, but Fang Xiao still hadn't come out.
Li Mobai has made up his mind that he must meet Fang Xiao no matter what.
He walked slowly forward and triggered the forbidden formation outside the cave as usual.
After a moment, a figure walked out. Li Mobai looked closely and found that it was still the Taoist soldier.
"Has Fang Xiao come out of confinement? I have something very important that I need to contact him about."
“He has never come out of seclusion. This seclusion is very important to him and he cannot tolerate any interruption.
Your Excellency is in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, so I think you should understand the importance of this matter."
Li Mobai was stunned. The last two times, Zhenkong had replied to him with a few simple words, "I am in seclusion and will not see any guests."
To the extent that he just thought of him as a Taoist soldier who had no thoughts and only knew how to follow orders.
Now that Fang Xiao is still unreachable, Li Mobai has even planned to attack the Taoist soldier left behind by Fang Xiao, trying to break him up in order to alarm Fang Xiao.
Anyway, as long as the carrier is not harmed, it should not be difficult for Fang Xiao to reunite the Taoist soldiers.
After all, Li Mobai had seen Daoxuan's magical power of turning beans into soldiers.
However, during this conversation, the Taoist soldier in front of him actually said such personal words to Li Mobai, and Li Mobai was unable to react for a moment.
"Do you have your own thoughts?"
"How do you think I have no thoughts?"
Zhenkong couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Mobai.
It is true that Li Mobai is Fang Xiao's uncle, but he is not Zhenkong's, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him before.
It was just that seeing him coming to my house again and again, I guessed that there must be something important, so I reluctantly explained.
"But why did you last time...
Forget it, it’s not important. Are you saying that his retreat this time is extremely important and cannot be disturbed?
This is really a troublesome thing.”
Li Mobai was surprised by Zhenkong's existence, but he quickly put it out of his mind.
He originally thought that Fang Xiao was only studying Taoist Soldiers and the Free and Easy Divine Journey Scroll, but he didn't expect that he was in seclusion for other matters. So naturally he couldn't disturb him at will.
There is naturally a reason why Fang Xiao had to be brought along this time.
On the one hand, Fang Xiao had strongly requested this at the time.
After all, this battle concerns the future of the Taichang Realm, so how can Fang Xiao not go?
On the other hand, Li Mobai and the others really need Fang Xiao.
In other words, Fang Xiao's ability to escape is required.
Not only the ability to break up space and escape into the void, Fang Xiao's Qingyun Dharma image is also crucial.
You should know that Patriarch Qingyun escaped from the royal court unscathed with the help of this Dharma image.
The purpose of bringing Fang Xiao along is to be on the safe side.
After all, according to the information obtained from the Golden Haired Howler, there are formations and restrictions in almost every place in the royal court.
If they are defeated by Wang Ting this time and eventually retreat, they will definitely be blocked by Wang Ting's formation.
Retreating to the void is naturally a solution, but we cannot pin all our hopes on the void.
With Qingyun Dharmakāya present, even if the royal court had made corresponding arrangements against the void, they could choose to break through the formation and leave.
Having multiple escape routes is not a bad thing after all.
Li Mobai thought about it for a while, then handed a jade slip to Zhenkong and bowed.
"Then I'd like to ask this fellow Daoist to tell Fang Xiao that we will go ahead.
If he comes out within seven days, he will be asked to come to Taiqing Sect of Nanyang Dao as soon as possible to join him.
But if it is seven days later, just go directly to Zhongyuan Road and then use the identity token to contact us.
In addition, this is some information he asked me to help investigate, so I will pass it on as well."
"Okay, I will tell him about this as soon as he comes out of quarantine."
Seeing Zhenkong took the jade slip and agreed to the matter, Li Mobai had no intention of staying any longer and left the place directly.
Zhenkong also didn't say much. After putting away the jade slip, he turned around and returned to the cave.
It glanced at the training room, the door of which was still closed. It didn't know how Fang Xiao was doing in the void, or whether the opening of the cave in his body was going smoothly.
However, considering that Fang Xiao was able to achieve his current strength with his Nascent Soul body, it should not be difficult for him to be troubled by just opening up a cave.
Then Zhenkong stopped thinking about it, and a long sword instantly condensed in his hand and he began to practice sword techniques.
