The hundred-foot cave is surrounded by greenery, and in early spring the mud swallows are flying.
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed by.
Outside Chen Denming Cave, the breeze is gentle, the green trees are filled with smoke, and there are many white lilacs and lilacs blooming in the wind on the hillside, which makes the spring feel intoxicating.
The black clouded leopard was snoring and sleeping soundly. The two huge fleshy wings on its back were folded up like a saddle. The spiritual power and evil energy on its body were breathtaking. If you ignore its already somewhat fat body, it is extremely powerful. fierce.
In the past six months, not only has Chen Dengming's strength improved, but the Black Clouded Leopard, as a famous name among monsters, is equivalent to a top-grade spiritual root among monks. In the past six months, he has eaten so many good things and relied on a good master to engage in free prostitution. The strength of the spiritual veins has naturally improved, and it has broken through from the ninth level of Qi training to the tenth level of Qi training.
However, Chen Dengming always suspected that although the black man's strength had improved, his combat power might still remain the same.
After all, life has been too comfortable for more than half a year, and my figure has become out of shape. It's good that my combat effectiveness has not declined.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed, flying to the front of Chen Denming Cave, turning and landing, revealing the figure of a Taoist priest.
"Woo——"
The black clouded leopard's ears stood up, and he immediately opened his eyes and took a look.
The man smiled kindly and said, "Heizi, is your master here?"
The Black Clouded Leopard rolled his eyes like a nigger and secretly said it was no nonsense. I am lying at the door guarding him. How could my master not be at home?
It was about to get up lazily and bark a few times.
Chen Dengming's voice came from the cave.
"But Senior Brother Zhou? Please come in quickly."
The Taoist at the door smiled and said loudly, "No need, Junior Brother Chen, you should have received the news, right?
Now that the longevity sect's spirit boat is on its way, you and I should say goodbye to Senior Brother Guan and the others and go quickly. Don't let the fellow Taoists from the longevity sect have to wait too long after they arrive. "
"good!"
As soon as the word "good" was spoken, Chen Dengming flew out wearing the Changchun Sect's foundation-building robe.
With a smile, he bowed his hands to the round-faced Taoist man opposite him.
"Junior brother, I have been practicing in seclusion, but today I checked the storage bag and learned the news from Senior Brother Liang yesterday. Senior Brother Zhou should not be offended."
"It's okay! It's understandable! Junior brother, you are indeed a hard-working person, and I admire you very much."
"Where, where."
After the two exchanged simple polite words, Chen Deng called up the Black Clouded Leopard, and then went with Senior Brother Zhou Yunji to visit Guan Le and Wang Feixuan who had returned to the sect yesterday.
To make people feel unhappy, he did not ride on the black clouded leopard, but let the leopard follow behind. He flew side by side with Zhou Yunji all the way, exchanging information while traveling together.
This seemingly insignificant little move made Zhou Yunji feel respected, and he felt a little favored again, so he told the information he knew.
"Yesterday, I was still in Chang'anfang. After being summoned by Senior Brother Liang to tell me that I was going to the frontline theater, I hurried back immediately.
Because it was too late at night, and Senior Brother Guan and Senior Brother Wang returned injured, they also went to the Lianxin Cave to enter the information about the powerful demonic cultivator enemies they encountered. They were probably also tired. In addition, Junior Brother, you are in retreat again, so I did not I didn’t go to visit alone, but I just invited you to go visit with me, my junior brother, today. "
"Senior Brother Zhou is still thoughtful. But what about the Heart Refining Cave?"
“That’s right, Junior Brother Chen, there’s no need to be polite.
The function of the Heart Refining Cave is not only for refining the minds of our disciples during examinations, but it also has other uses.
When our monks encounter strong enemies outside, they can enter the information of the strong enemies into it after returning to the sect so that we can simulate combat. This can be regarded as accumulating experience in fighting with various masters. Junior brother, you have to experience it later.
This time you and I go to the battlefield together, so we need to take more care of each other. You have broken through the middle stage of foundation building and your mana has doubled. This is a good thing. "
Zhou Yunji smiled and acted very kindly.
The reason why he wanted to wait for Chen Dengming to come with him was because he wanted to win over this junior brother who he heard was very capable in battle.
The opponent was able to defeat the vampire Taoist in the early stage of foundation building. It is said that Li Yue also died in his hands. Now that he has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building, his combat power will definitely be improved.
Compared with Wang Feixuan who brought Guan Le who was in the early stage of foundation building, he brought Chen Dengming and rushed to the front line together, which felt much better.
Chen Dengming was quite calm at this time. He had already been mentally prepared for being selected to go to the frontline theater.
In fact, he should have been among the previous batch of people, but because of the care of He Yingyu and Liang Yunsheng, he was delayed to this second batch. He avoided the most intense moment of the winter battlefield, and he also practiced for a long time with peace of mind, and reached the level of strength. I have made a breakthrough, I am fully prepared, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
The two quickly arrived outside the sect's Heart Refining Cave.
Wang Feixuan and Guan Le were also invited at this time and rushed to the cave in advance to wait.
Regardless of whether there are minor conflicts in daily life, now that his classmates are going to the frontline theater, as someone who has been to the front line, Wang Feixuan is still willing to work with Guan Le to clearly explain some of his experience on the front line and the enemy's situation, so as to prevent his classmates from being in danger.
When four people meet, it is inevitable to exchange simple polite greetings.
Wang Feixuan even apologized to Chen Dengming for his excessive words last time.
Chen Dengming didn't care about it, so he was polite and said he wouldn't take it to heart.
He was also surprised when he saw that Guan Le's face was pale, his eyes were dim and not very bright, his eyes were even bloodshot, and his eye bags were swollen, as if he was listless.
Guan Le shook his head and sighed, "Junior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Zhou, there are three demon cultivating forces that are fighting with us in the war zone, namely the Blood Evil Sect, the Soul-eating Sect, and the demons from the Demon Country. The most difficult one is the Soul-Eating Sect. Zong, I just fell into the trap, and my soul was almost taken away by the soul-guiding flag."
At the end of his speech, there was still a hint of fear in his expression.
"good!"
Wang Feixuan added with a solemn expression, "Not only can the flag take away people's souls, but it can also summon the ghosts of spirits that were previously sucked into the flag to launch an attack, making it impossible to defend against.
It should be noted that if we do not practice the same method of refining the gods, it is like having brute force but no skills.
And the enemy is stronger in brute strength and skill, how to guard against it? Disaster!
Many fellow Taoists in the war zone have died at the hands of these Soul-Eating Sect monks."
When Chen Dengming heard this, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He had practiced the method of refining the gods.
It seemed that this Soul-Eating Sect monk would at least pose less of a threat to him.
He had previously asked Xiao Zhenling whether the Soul Eater Sect had any connection with the Yin Ghost Sect.
The little formation spirit couldn't answer.
However, after all, the cultivation methods of the two sects are from the same source, and they are both the path of ghosts and gods. After he practiced the "Hundred Ghosts Night Banquet" scroll and the "Hundred Ghosts Yinlu Divine Refining Method", his soul has become more mature. Condensed and powerful.
He is also proficient in the method of using his spiritual consciousness to attack and defend trapped enemies. In addition, his spiritual consciousness has been baptized by the pure Yang thunder power of heaven and earth and is contaminated with thunder. If he encounters a Soul-Eating Sect monk, he should be able to resist.
At this time, Wang Feixuan and Guan Le talked about the fighting styles of the monks of the other two demon cultivating forces on the battlefield, the current situation on the battlefield and matters that need to be paid attention to, etc.
In order to prevent the memory from being missed, Chen Dengming activated the audio and video beads to record it. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
After the two of them finished speaking, Guan Le said weakly, "Okay, we have already explained everything that needs to be said. You two should go to the Lianxin Cave to experience it. We have recorded the specific combat status of the enemies we encountered. No matter whether you can handle it or not, it is good to get in touch with it in advance."
"good!"
"Thank you two senior brothers!"
Chen Dengming and Zhou Yunji both thanked them and then entered the Lianxin Cave, while the Black Clouded Leopard was left outside.
Wang Fei
The black clouded leopard pricked up its ears and listened, snorted like a sneer, and turned its head.
Guan Le also chuckled, "You underestimate Junior Brother Chen too much. When he was in the early stage of foundation building, he defeated a vampire Taoist.
That Vampire Ghost Taoist is a prodigy who masters both Soul-Eating and Blood-Destroying Paths. He is stronger than ordinary monks of the same realm in the Soul-Eating Sect. Moreover, Junior Brother Chen once teamed up with me to kill a Foundation-Building Nightmare. I probably only Thirty percent of the effort was put into it.”
Sensing Wang Feixuan's suspicious gaze, Guan Le said conservatively, "However, Junior Brother Chen has just broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. If he faces the mid-stage Foundation Establishment monks of the Soul-Eating Sect, he may have no problem protecting himself. If he wants to win, That would be difficult."
"Is it okay to protect yourself?" Wang Feixuan muttered, doubting this answer, but he also knew that Guan Le and Chen Dengming had a good relationship in private, so it was normal for them to brag about it.
In the Heart Refining Cave.
As the spiritual crystals of public funds reimbursed by the sect were embedded, the formation flags fluttered, and the surrounding environment quickly became dark.
Chen Dengming felt that the surroundings were getting colder quickly, and the cold air was biting. His face and nose exposed outside his collar felt a little painful.
"Is the environment in the war zone simulated by the formation so cold? Or is it at night?"
Confused, Chen Dengming was extremely vigilant.
Even if it is a simulated battle, after all, the number of times it can be experienced is limited, he is still ready to go all out to find out the enemy's details, which is better than risking his life in real life.
At this time, alarm signs rose in Chen Dengming's heart, and he saw dark shadows gradually appearing in the dark environment in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of sound like roaring winds and rolling waves came from all directions, which was breathtaking.
The next moment, the black image of thousands of unbridled black horses were seen, some bowing their heads and charging fiercely, some raising their heads high and neighing, or others charging fiercely at Chen Dengming with wide-eyed glare.
If you look carefully, you can see where the dark horses are. They are clearly lonely ghosts with ferocious faces.
"They are the lowest level of ghosts. Don't let them invade your soul." In the soul room, the little formation spirit reminded.
Chen Dengming immediately raised the magic sword high and looked at it with the sword. His eyes were filled with lightning. The strong muscles of his arms showed his strength. The moment the long sword suddenly aligned its blade, the powerful sword intent accompanied the killing with his spiritual consciousness. out!
In an instant, it seemed as if a huge silver snake jumped out of the darkness and swept across in a circle.
Colliding with the surrounding ghosts that were charging towards them, it emitted a series of low and long roars like a volley of cannons.
"ah--"
"Hum——"
The ghosts disappeared in an instant, and the screams, wails, and relief rolled up sharply like dark clouds torn apart by lightning, and gradually faded away.
"Huh?"
A soft sound came from the darkness.
The temperature dropped suddenly, and the dark environment seemed to suddenly become cruel and ruthless.
Chen Dengming felt a strong chill all over his body. His blood was almost frozen and he was unable to move. It seemed that an extremely evil force enveloped his body.
But his spirit was not hindered. Immediately with a thought, the mirror flew out, and a ray of green light shone directly on his body, and his body instantly emitted green smoke.
The red hairs that covered the body surface at some point spontaneously ignited without fire and disappeared in an instant.
There was a muffled groan in the darkness.
The mirror that illuminates the heart and breaks the illusion instantly shines through Chen Dengming's mind. The light of the mirror is like blue-white lightning caught in thunder, tearing open the darkness and illuminating the surrounding environment.
A black shadow almost grazed the mirror, let out a sharp scream, and rushed to Chen Dengming in the blink of an eye.
Chen Dengming was about to fight back when the black shadow suddenly split into two with a weird smile, moved quickly in an extremely narrow space, and was about to dive in when it was close to him.
"roll!!"
Chen Denming roared angrily, his eyes gleaming with power, and his magic sword suddenly transformed into thousands of swords and vortices of light, twisting like hundreds of strange snakes, surrounding his body.
The two black shadows just paused and quickly passed through the sword light, but were swallowed up by a powerful thunderous consciousness that erupted in an instant.
It looked like a black cloud was suddenly born under the cover of the sword light, and like an invisible mouth, it directly swallowed up the two black shadows.
Baigui Yinlu's Divine Refining Technique - Membrane Technique!
There was another scream in the darkness not far away, Chen Deng let out a long roar, and the man followed the knife. In an instant, the man and the knife merged into one, turning into a sword light with unparalleled speed. It flashed past and killed the figure in the darkness opposite. forward.
But he saw a gloomy figure holding a big banner. When he saw Chen Dengming coming to kill him, he was about to shake the big banner, stir up the ghostly aura, and regain his strength to attack.
Chen Dengming, on the other hand, integrated his spiritual consciousness into the light of the sword, and used the most powerful thunder power in his spiritual consciousness to combine with the Divine Refining Technique, and stabbed him straight with the sword!
The knife is like the wind when you pick it up at will, and you will see red as soon as you hit it.
Zhafa's moves are as fast as lightning. Why kill people in ten steps?
"Keng!——"
The moment the long knife pierced the soul flag, the flag instantly shattered, and countless ghosts screamed, like large black bats fluttering their wings and swarming around.
The monk opposite felt like he was struck by lightning. He suddenly took five steps back, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and was about to run away.
Unexpectedly, the long sword in Chen Denming's hand suddenly extended and lengthened, directly exceeding eight feet. The bright sword flashed and instantly pierced the monk's forehead.
The surrounding dark environment quickly faded away.
"Is this the end? It should be a Soul-Eating Sect monk in the middle stage of foundation building. It is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. But, it's okay. The main reason is that I'm not very familiar with this kind of soul flag weapon."
Chen Dengming frowned and looked at the changes in the surrounding environment, and put away the magic weapon.
The next moment, he saw Zhou Yunji squatting on the ground with a pale face and panting across from him. He was startled and walked over immediately.
"Senior Brother Zhou? Are you okay? Did you encounter a Soul-Eating Sect monk in the late stage of Foundation Establishment?"
Zhou Yunji was stunned for a moment, panting, and looked back at Chen Dengming, who was completely unfazed. He grinned reluctantly and said, "Junior Brother Chen is joking, where can we encounter monks in the late stage of foundation building? This is the enemy message recorded by Junior Brother Guan and Senior Brother Wang. They If you encounter the late stage of foundation building, can you still come back?
I just encountered a strong enemy in the middle stage of foundation building. Hey, it's really powerful!
I survived the first wave of attacks, and suddenly I saw a black shadow coming towards me. I immediately dodged with a snap to avoid danger, but the black shadow actually split into two. It was really insidious."
Chen Dengming looked strange.
Isn't this what he just encountered?
It turned out that the two of them simulated an opponent at the same time.
However, this week, senior brother, he didn’t survive the second round of offensive.
"Huh? Junior brother, you actually passed the test so easily? You seem to be fine. Did you encounter an enemy from the early stage of foundation building? Was it from the Soul Eater Sect or the Blood Evil Sect?"
Chen Dengming was too embarrassed to tell the truth. It was not good to hit Senior Brother Zhou this week and destroy the harmonious relationship. He smiled and said, "Yes, I encountered a Blood Evil Sect monk who was in the early stage of foundation building."
"That won't work, Junior Brother Chen. We can handle the monks in the early stages of foundation building. You still have to experience it again. You have to try the strong enemy I encountered to gain more experience."
"this"
"Go quickly, go quickly, do it again, don't worry about it now. If we encounter you in a war zone, you can save your life."
Chen Dengming was helpless and felt that Zhou Yunji was right.
Now that the public funds spiritual crystal is used to activate the formation, let's try it again, nothing will go wrong.
As a result, this second time, he actually encountered the powerful enemy in the middle stage of foundation building.
He had no choice but to torture the opponent again. Even this time, in order to force the monk to use more methods and save his life, he deliberately slowed down his offensive and was not in a hurry to kill the opponent.
However, it was discovered at the end that the opponent only had a few attacks back and forth. Even if he was running away and it was obvious that he was dying after running for a while, he still had to attack him forcefully, just like a mentally retarded NPC in a game.
Chen Dengming realized that this might be the drawback of simulating characters in the Heart Refining Formation.
It is probably based on the information provided by the memories in the minds of Guan Le and others as the simulated subject. It will be endowed with a certain amount of wisdom and know how to escape and dodge, etc.
But it mainly launched attacks based on the memory information of the two, so it seemed very dull.
"It seems that these Soul-Eating Sect monks may be stronger if they actually encounter them. There is no guarantee that the other party has some trump cards that Senior Brother Guan and the others have not seen."
Chen Dengming was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and secretly kept it in mind. At the same time, he also felt that this second attempt was not in vain, and he had clarified some more situations.
After the two experienced the Lianxin Cave, they bid farewell to Guan Le and Wang Feixuan and came to the mountain gate.
…
The longevity sect's spirit boat has already appeared outside the mountain gate.
On the spirit boat, several foundation-building monks of the Longevity Sect were standing. They were graceful and handsome, and each of them was like a dragon or a phoenix among men.
Chen Dengming and Zhou Yunji flew onto the spirit boat and greeted the longevity sect foundation-building monks politely with smiles.
Almost all of these people are familiar with Zhou Yunji. After all, in the Changchun Changshou family, even if the status of the monks of the Changshou Sect is obviously more noble, when they reach the level of foundation building, everyone will not show it too obviously.
It may happen that the monks of the upper sect look down on the monks of the lower sect. In reality, it basically does not happen, or even if it does, everyone will not show it in terms of face.
This exchange was naturally enjoyable, and Chen Dengming, the new foundation-builder, was not left out in the cold. Instead, he was highly praised by several foundation-builder monks of the longevity sect.
"I have heard that Junior Brother Chen has unparalleled combat power and has few opponents in the same period. Now Junior Brother Chen has broken through the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. I think when we go to the war zone this time, Junior Brother Chen, you will definitely kill everyone."
"Yes, I am also optimistic about Junior Brother Chen. No, he should be called Senior Brother Chen. Now that you and I are in the same realm, I may not be your opponent, so I have to call him Senior Brother."
Faced with these compliments, Chen Dengming could only use his best communicative skills and be polite and humble, "All the senior brothers are too flattering. It is really embarrassing for me. I have just broken through the foundation building, and my realm is not yet stable. I still have to ask more questions." Senior brothers, please don’t talk big.
And for this senior brother, just call me Xiao Chen or Junior Brother Chen. There is no way I can afford this senior brother. "
"Junior Brother Chen, you are so self-effacing!"
"Yes, it's OK to be modest, but if you are so self-effacing, that's hypocrisy!"
The four longevity sect foundation-building monks laughed and laughed. They were also satisfied with Chen Dengming's humble and indifferent attitude. They had a good impression. They did not immediately raise their tails when they praised him.
Such people are truly open-minded and should not be underestimated.
During the exchange, the spirit boat flew hundreds of miles through the air, rushed into the sky, and then continued to accelerate, heading straight for the border turtles, snakes and wasps.
On the way there, we laughed and exchanged pleasantries, but we didn’t know how many people could still laugh and talk about the situation on the way back.
