When Li Xu was an inner disciple, in addition to learning the high-level secrets and cultivation techniques within the sect.
Most of them are practicing in the Sky Demon Forest.
The road to immortality is long and you can never go very far in seclusion and hard training.
Only in actual combat can one realize one's own shortcomings and gain a profound understanding of life and death.
Therefore, Li Xu knew the Heavenly Demon Forest outside the Changsheng Sect relatively well.
He probably knew where there were medicinal herbs and what kind of monsters lurked in those places.
Just have these clues.
He has a greater advantage than these sect disciples who have almost never set foot in the Sky Demon Forest.
Li Xu didn't panic at all. There was no need to fight with the large troops.
The disciples of the Changsheng Sect in front rushed out of the mountain gate like crazy.
Many outer disciples even used the Swiftness Technique and the Wind Control Technique on themselves to speed up their speed.
There were also some outer disciples with higher cultivation levels who did not hesitate to consume more spiritual power, stepped on flying swords, and flew towards the Sky Demon Forest in twos and threes.
By the time Li Xu walked down the mountain gate and arrived at the outskirts of the Sky Demon Forest, half a day had passed.
The Sky Demon Forest is a restricted area for mortals and a dangerous place for ordinary monks.
Looking around, you can see the evil spirit rising into the sky and the miasma filling the air.
Millions of mountains stretch with no end in sight.
From time to time, there are flying monsters spreading their wings across the sky, and there are also ferocious beasts roaring and lowing.
It gives people a great sense of oppression.
As for the disciples of the Changsheng Sect, many of them have already entered the mountains and forests and started looking for mission targets.
Li Xu didn't hesitate anymore, jumped up and rushed into the forest.
Li Xu jumped between the branches in the forest and began to move forward quickly.
He didn't choose to land.
Because the ground is not only difficult to walk on, but also contains a lot of poisons.
Not long after he entered the forest, he smelled the smell of blood.
After walking some distance forward, they found two dead servant disciples under a tree not far away.
Their bodies were covered with red ants, and their bodies were almost bitten to bits, with dense blood holes all over them.
The smell of blood he smelled was emanating from these two corpses.
And this ant is also a bloodthirsty red ant unique to the periphery of the Celestial Demon Forest, and it is highly poisonous.
After being bitten, if not treated in time, the poison will develop and die within a cup of tea.
Li Xu glanced coldly and continued to rush into the forest.
The road to immortality is difficult and dangerous, and not everyone can reach the end.
Li Xu's goal is to enter the inner gate, so he does not need to collect Tianyuan grass to advance to the outer gate.
Instead, keep moving forward and rush deeper.
His target is Qing Ling Cao, a main medicinal material used to refine Qing Ling Dan.
This kind of medicinal herb will only appear after going hundreds of miles into the Sky Demon Forest.
And this grass likes to grow on humid and hot cliffs.
And Li Xu happened to know a large waterfall.
There must be many Qingling grass there.
Li Xu followed his memory and kept approaching the unknown waterfall.
Along the way, Li Xu met many sect disciples.
Some are collecting Tianyuan grass.
Some are facing ordinary monsters or poisonous insects on the periphery.
Some of them are even fighting each other to seize the mission items in each other's hands.
Li Xu is well aware of the cruelty of this world.
Even if they are from the same sect, they are not reliable.
He ignored it and just concentrated on his way.
Li continued to shuttle between the trees.
But before he reached the nameless waterfall, he felt a dangerous aura falling from the sky.
Li Xu's heart tightened and he looked above his head sharply.
At this sight, Li Xu's pupils suddenly dilated.
He saw a four-winged toucan swooping down towards him.
"Three-color four-winged bird!"
Li Xu was startled.
This is a first-order eight-star demonic beast, and its strength is equivalent to the cultivation level of the eighth heaven in the Qi refining period.
Such a monster actually appeared on the outskirts of the forest.
Fortunately, it was him, Li Xu. If an ordinary outer disciple or a handyman disciple encountered him, he would definitely die.
After Li Xu was briefly surprised, he quickly calmed down.
One of the conditions for promotion to the inner sect is to obtain two first-order eight-star demon crystals.
Now, there are good things coming to your doorstep, don’t give them up in vain.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Flying sword!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Xu patted the storage bag.
Knotting the sword fingers in his hand, he flew the sword into the storage bag and shot it out.
With a "swish" sound, it flew towards the three-color four-winged bird.
There were bursts of sword light, with the sound of piercing the sky.
When the demon bird saw Li Xu using his flying sword, he didn't dare to be careless.
He neighed "Woo", adjusted his body, and dodged quickly.
At the same time, he showed his sharp claws and knocked away the flying sword controlled by Li Xu with one claw.
And continued to point directly at Li Xu coming on the branch of the tree.
This is treating Li Xu as its prey.
Li Xu looked at the monster bird, which was bigger than the two of them, unmoved.
He was in the ninth level of Qi Refining stage and had a sword spirit root that was unparalleled in the world.
If you can't even deal with a first-order eight-star monster, how can you enter the inner gate?
Li Xu just stood on the branch of the tree, watching the three-color four-winged bird that was getting closer and did not avoid it.
The demonic bird was very fast and was less than ten meters closer to Li Xu in a blink of an eye.
A pair of sharp claws opened, and the sharp claws were like iron hooks, grabbing straight at Li Xu's head.
Once pierced, death is certain.
But Li Xu was not afraid at all. Instead, he sneered:
"Nine Swords!"
In an instant, nine flying swords suddenly shot out of Li Xu's storage bag.
Each shot was fired at an extremely fast speed.
With bursts of sword energy, he shot towards the three-color four-winged bird with a "swish".
If other monks saw this scene, they would definitely be stunned into silence.
Normally speaking, a Dzogchen monk in the Qi Refining Stage can only override three flying swords at most.
Moreover, the speed and power will be greatly reduced.
Even a monk in the foundation-building realm can only control five flying swords with such amazing speed and power.
But Li Xu only has the ninth level of Qi Refining.
But he can control nine flying swords at the same time, and he can still maintain strength and speed. This is very amazing.
And this was also due to Li Xu's new spiritual roots.
Unique throughout the ages, the sword spirit root.
The sword spirit root allowed Li Xu to master the sword so skillfully that he almost reached a state of selflessness.
As long as he wants to, he is willing to consume enough spiritual power, let alone nine.
Ninety or even nine hundred will do...
Such a close distance.
Facing the nine flying swords coming at a rapid pace, the demonic bird was so frightened that it flapped its wings in a hurry, its eyes full of panic.
Quickly release demon power to form a demon power shield.
Dazui also made a frightened sound of "woo woo" and wanted to escape...
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Nine flying swords, with bursts of sword power and sound of breaking through the air, shot at the three-color four-winged bird intensively.
The demonic shield blocking the three-color four-winged bird exploded with a "boom" and was pierced instantly.
Then there were nine "swish, swish, swish" sounds, and blood splattered.
The three-color four-winged bird's body was pierced by nine flying swords, and blood splattered in the sky.
The demonic bird fell heavily to the ground amid whining and frightening sounds...
