Chapter 222 - 159: The Sword Immortal without the Immortal Sword
Within the Grotto Heaven, the cave was a spectacle, and the Heavenly Altar was located in the center, with the Daoist temple’s ancient simplicity.
The Grotto Heavens of the Sword Control Sect were much the same, all featuring the combination of the Heavenly Altar and Daoist temple, only the surrounding environment slightly varied.
Above the Heavenly Altar was the soon-to-be-condensed yellow Earth Core Crystal. Chi Yu Zi, with his Divine Thought, took a look and said, "We need a day’s time. I’m afraid we’ll have to wait, Red Dust, are your injuries alright?"
"They’re just superficial wounds."
Gu Wen’s hands split open once more, the blood stopped by a healing cultivation technique, as he focused on running his cultivation technique, the wounds healed rapidly.
In pursuit of efficiency, Gu Wen did not meticulously treat every hidden injury, because that would take too much time. Leaving a hidden injury might only require a single pill for treatment, while perfectly healing the wounds on the spot would take dozens of times longer.
He didn’t have the leisure for that, which was also why most cultivators continually accumulated hidden injuries.
Dozens of breaths later, the wounds were completely healed. A scar as wide as a thumb extended from the right hand’s tiger mouth to the forearm, while the left hand bore three fine scars.
These were not all from the recent clash of magic, but an accumulation from battling the Qing python to now.
With no internal injuries upon introspection, Gu Wen opened his eyes and said, "I need to break through to the Seventh Transition Golden Core, then kill our way out. The Devil Clan surely has more than just these few members. Killing one more now means one less trouble later."
