Aoba said, "The Reincarnation Disc is just one layer short. By using this treasure, living beings can be sent into reincarnation. Although it may not necessarily kill the opponent, it is enough to solve the problem."

"Sent into reincarnation?"

Gao Xuan asked, "Where will they be sent to?"

Aoba thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "According to legend, the Reincarnation Disc sends living beings to the deepest part of the Abyss. The laws there are special, with powerful figures with Great Divine Techniques guarding the place. Any strong person who goes there never returns."

"Abyss?"

Gao Xuan thought of Ksitigarbha King, and he now had the confidence to have a match against him. But since the Abyss was Ksitigarbha King’s domain, falling into the Abyss would be greatly unfortunate.

Gao Xuan said to Aoba, "Your information is very important, and your magical treasure is also very good. I won’t be polite and will accept them all."

He said to Aoba, "Go back and thank your Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch for me."

Aoba was a bit surprised, as he was going to send her away already. She hesitated and said, "The Future Star Constellation Pearl is mysterious, and refining it is quite troublesome. I can assist the Celestial Master in refining this treasure soon."

Gao Xuan was a bit surprised, "You want to stay?"

Aoba was a bit shy when asked, her exquisite small face reddening a bit, "The disciple just wants to stay and help the Celestial Master." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Gao Xuan looked Aoba up and down again, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Although Aoba was from the Demon Sect and had an alluring nature, her Divine Soul was extremely pure, clearly her Primordial Yin was intact.

The shy demeanor showed she clearly wanted to stay for dual cultivation.

Gao Xuan was not afraid of dual cultivation, nor did he feel anything wrong with it. Yun Qingxia was merely his dual cultivation partner, but both were not in a marriage relationship and weren’t bound.

However, Aoba being so proactive in offering herself was clearly no good.

From the bones, the Demon Sect people had evil intentions. Whatever they do, they harbor malicious thoughts.

Gao Xuan was not afraid of Aoba causing trouble, but since he took her treasure, he intended to give this woman a chance.

If she understood, she should turn and leave.

Aoba wasn’t aware of what Gao Xuan was thinking, assuming Gao Xuan despised her.

She bowed her head and said quietly, "The disciple cultivates the Cyan Leaf Sword Scripture, with extremely pure Primordial Yin. In Sword Dao, my cultivation is also considerable."

"Cyan Leaf Sword Scripture?"

Gao Xuan was intrigued upon hearing the name. He was certain he hadn’t heard of this before, but originating from the Ninth Consciousness of the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada, he felt the extraordinary nature of this Sword Scripture.

According to the Ninth Consciousness’s intuition, the Cyan Leaf Sword Scripture was profund and mysterious, yet without any hint of Demon Sect flavor. It should not be Demon Sect Secret Technique.

Gao Xuan casually asked, "Is this your Demon Sect Swordsmanship?"

Aoba shook her head slightly, "The Cyan Leaf Sword Scripture was inscribed on a piece of cyan leaf, with unknown origins. I naturally resonated with the Cyan Leaf Sword Scripture, which is why my master took me in as a disciple."

She smiled charmingly at Gao Xuan, "If the Celestial Master is interested, the disciple can demonstrate the Cyan Leaf Sword Scripture to the Celestial Master."

Gao Xuan chuckled, "I would indeed like to see the mysteries of the Cyan Leaf Sword Scripture."

He gestured, "Ripples, come here and spar with Aoba."

Ripples was standing behind Gao Xuan, and no matter how she looked at Aoba, she felt this woman was seductive, not a good thing. The more she looked, the more displeased she became.

Hearing Gao Xuan instruct her to come forward and test the sword, she couldn’t help but smile. She was determined that when the time comes, she’d find an opportunity to chop this little lass with a sword. At most, the master would criticize her a couple of times.

Ripples was brimming with killing intent, lacking any guile, and couldn’t help showing a bit of seriousness on her small face.

Aoba also discerned Ripples’ full killing intent, and she respectfully saluted Ripples, her face showing a gentle smile, "Little lady’s swordsmanship is humble, I ask the fellow Daoist to show mercy."

Ripples’ expression remained cold, inwardly thinking she wouldn’t show mercy. Nor would she engage in conversation.

Gao Xuan stretched out his hand, and the Eight-sided Water Mirror cut the space, placing Ripples and Aoba in an independent space.

This independent space was a mirror image of the main hall, merely ten times larger.

Ripples didn’t hesitate, directly drawing the Hongyi Sword. As Gao Xuan’s maid, every day she helped carry the Hongyi Sword for him.

Disliking Aoba, she immediately drew the Hongyi Sword upon starting.

Aoba’s face maintained its smile, but her bright azure eyes gazed at the autumn-water-like Hongyi Sword.

This sword appeared pristine and transparent, with endless power within.

Aoba was a little amazed; the level of this Sword Artifact was not much different than the Future Star Constellation Pearl.

No wonder Gao Xuan could eliminate the North Sea Dragon Race, truly formidable!

Aoba casually drew the Cyan Leaf Sword, formally saluted Ripples with the sword.

This Cyan Leaf Sword was entirely azure, its blade slender, the edge thin as paper, only with leaf-vein-like fine patterns on the blade, appearing like a sharp and unusual cyan leaf sword.

Though the Cyan Leaf Sword seemed very sharp, it had a gentle vital force.

Gao Xuan watched the battle from outside, also feeling this sword was extraordinary. The key was that this sword was not a real Sword Artifact, entirely condensed by Aoba’s Sword Intent.

The Cyan Leaf Sword was extremely stable, its sharpness no less than the Hongyi Sword.

"Impressive."

Gao Xuan also admired, just seeing Aoba’s condensed Sword Artifact showed her superior Swordsmanship, much better than Ripples.

Indeed, the Eastern Province was full of talents.

Even within the Demon Sect, there were such individuals.

Gao Xuan earnestly compared, given those he had encountered, Aoba was second only to Jin Xiang.

The likes of Ao Shibidi paled in comparison to Aoba. Even Celestial Fool and Yun Qingxia would definitely not gain an advantage over Aoba.

Such a genius, looking across the Demon Sect, should be just one. Would Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch really be willing to send such a talent to him?

Using his toes and thoughts, he knew there was definitely an issue.

Gao Xuan considered, then said to Aoba, "You can stay if you win."

Aoba slightly straightened, initially planning to casually fend off a few moves. Unexpectedly, Gao Xuan proposed such a condition.

She quickly decided to defeat Ripples and stay. Only by staying could she have the chance to win over Gao Xuan.

Aoba made up her mind internally, yet her face showed no expression, only softly saying "Please."

"Please."

Though Ripples disliked Aoba, she wouldn’t be rude. She uttered a word before swinging her sword.

The Hongyi Sword transformed into flowing water light, sometimes straight, sometimes curved, sometimes tangible, sometimes intangible. Amidst the flowing sword light, it was unclear where it pointed.

Aoba held her sword steady, waited until the flowing sword light reached in front of her eyebrows, and then lifted her sword in response.

The azure sword blade turned, precisely parrying the Hongyi Sword.

This was using the sword body to parry the sword body, with the sword edge not clashing. When the dual swords collided, a clear ringing sounded, deflecting the flowing Hongyi Sword.

Ripples didn’t get disheartened by a failed strike, she unleashed Ripple Sword Spirit, attacking fiercely around Aoba.

The flowing water light gradually intensified, eventually transforming into a continuous tide completely enveloping Aoba.

Aoba’s counter was extremely stable, the Cyan Leaf Sword’s changes straightforward and direct, yet always blocking the Hongyi Sword. Though the azure sword light was weaker, it steadily maintained the sword circle.

Observing from outside, Gao Xuan inwardly sighed; Ripples was indeed immature, and Aoba’s Swordsmanship was truly profound, profound enough to be comparable to his!

Aoba truly put to action, Ripples would fail on the first move.

Gao Xuan also felt a degree of caution; this little lass was indeed very dangerous, must not be underestimated...
