A group of five people slowly landed in front of the mountain gate. The guarding disciples had already greeted them and respectfully said to Cheng Ling: "Sect Master, you are back!"
These disciples were convinced of Cheng Ling, the sect leader. Since taking charge of the sect, he has integrated the forces of various halls and created the Alchemy Hall, leaving behind a large number of high-level secrets and training resources. The strength of the sect's disciples has grown exponentially, becoming several times stronger than before.
He is young, powerful, and can lead the sect to glory. No disciple will refuse such a sect leader!
Cheng Ling nodded briefly and led the four of them towards the sect, and soon arrived at the sect square. In the square, Xi Yan, Zhang Hu, and Xuan Wuxiang were already waiting.
Xiyan's eyes turned red when she saw Cheng Ling. Although they had only been apart for more than half a year, she missed him more and more day by day. To say that she is also a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage, but in terms of mental training, she is far behind after all.
As soon as he saw Cheng Ling's figure, no matter what others thought, he rushed over first, leaned close to him, and choked with sobs: "Brother Ling, you are finally back!"
Cheng Ling was naturally moved, sighed inwardly, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Yes, I'm back."
Jian Yinghao and Wu Chenlong both looked at what was happening in front of them with smiles. The woman who came forward was very beautiful. She was obviously Cheng Ling's confidante in the sect. They didn't have any idea. Cheng Ling was so outstanding that it was only natural that more women would love him.
But Bai Yiyi and Gu Youlan are different. Bai Yiyi's lips moved, wanting to say something, but she held it back; Gu Youlan's face changed, from rosy to pale again, and her body trembled slightly.
Cheng Ling felt her change, and her heart tightened. She quickly changed the subject and asked, "Xi Yan, where are Master Liu and Mrs. Xiao?"
"Master and Mrs. Xiao are both in seclusion, but there was word before that they can leave seclusion tomorrow."
Cheng Ling turned around and said to Jian Yinghao: "Brother Jian, in that case, how about you stay here for a day?"
Jian Yinghao laughed and agreed happily. Zhang Hu quickly helped them arrange the guest room and went to rest.
Early the next morning, Liu Qingyan and Xiao Changtian came out of seclusion one after another, and they came to the sect master's hall together. Liu Qingyan's consciousness swept away, her face lit up, and she said, "I didn't expect that the sect master would be able to break through again and advance to become a god in just a few short years. It's really gratifying and congratulatory!"
Xiao Changtian was shocked and looked at Cheng Ling hurriedly, only to see the Taoist charm flowing around the latter's body, completely natural. It didn't look like he had just made a breakthrough, but as if he had been settling for several years.
He was shocked. More than half a year ago, Cheng Ling had not advanced to become a god, but now he could be so stable. The speed of his cultivation was really astonishing.
Cheng Ling smiled slightly, glanced at Liu Qingyan, and asked curiously: "Uncle Liu, even now, I can't see clearly your cultivation level. Can you tell me what level you have reached?"
Liu Qingyan smiled and said calmly: "Anyway, I'm not as outrageous as you!"
Seeing that she refused to say anything clearly, Cheng Ling could only shake his head and said, "This time, I return to the sect because I want to ask Master Liu to come with me to explore a secret place."
Liu Qingyan's eyes lit up and she said, "Oh! Has the sect master cracked the secret of the residual map?"
"Yes, it was cracked by chance. I also brought a few friends from the Famous Sword Academy and wanted to explore together. Uncle Master is willing to go together."
"Oh, that's good. I haven't gone out for many years to experience, and I'm just thinking of going out for a walk. Are you going to take a few more disciples from the sect with you?"
Cheng Ling looked
He glanced at Xiao Changtian and asked, "Does Mrs. Xiao intend to go together?"
Xiao Changtian was startled, pondered for a while, and said sadly: "Thank you so much, sect master, I will stay in the sect and practice so that I can break through to the divine form as soon as possible!" He knew that Cheng Ling's trust in him was far from enough to explore the secret realm together. Naturally, he understands how to refuse.
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "Okay, then, Taishang Xiao and Taishang Xuan are in charge of the sect, so we can feel at ease outside. I want to take Xi Yan and Zhang Hu there, and if Brother Song is willing, we can go together."
Cheng Ling was naturally talking about Song Yingjie. He has too little training experience. He only has the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, and his actual combat experience and experience are far behind others. This opportunity is just right for him to practice some, and Song Hanyu must be happy to do so.
Moreover, within the Wuxiang Sword Sect, the overall strength of Wu Tang is currently weak. Since he has brought the master of Dan Tang and the first disciple of Jian Tang, he naturally has to support Wu Tang. As for the Formation Hall, with his Formation Dao cultivation, he cannot make any big waves at all.
Liu Qingyan nodded slightly, Cheng Ling thought very carefully. Even she was going on this expedition. Since the sect didn't have high-end combat power, we were afraid something would go wrong. Now that Xiao Changtian, Xuan Wuxiang, Song Hanyu, Xuan Zhenzi and others are left behind, there is no need to worry about accidents happening.
The four of them are all Nascent Soul stage monks, and Xiao Changtian has the highest cultivation level. However, with Liu Qingyan planting the ban and the other three restraining them, they should not be able to make any big waves, and it is more than enough to deal with external threats.
The three of them had reached a consensus and were ready to go. Cheng Ling told Xuan Wuxiang and Song Hanyu about the matter, and the latter readily agreed and agreed to go with Song Yingjie.
In his opinion, Cheng Ling is the kind of darling of heaven, with excellent opportunities and luck. Following such a person to explore the secrets can gain great benefits.
After everything was arranged, Cheng Ling came to the place where Jian Yinghao and the others stayed and told him everything.
Jian Yinghao pondered for a while and said: "Brother Cheng, it's not that I don't believe you, but according to what you said, there will be two Nascent Souls and a Golden Elixir monk on this trip. Will there be any unexpected situations? ?”
Cheng Ling knew that Jian Yinghao was speaking very politely. To put it bluntly, except for Liu Qingyan, the other three people will become a burden. Not only will they not be able to help, they will also be distracted from taking care of them. Liu Qingyan and Jian Fengshuang were very cautious in the secret realm of Jianzhong. It was obviously not a safe place.
Bringing such three burdensome people, plus Wu Chenlong, would probably add a lot of danger.
Cheng Ling said apologetically: "Brother Jian, please forgive me. If the sect wants to develop, it naturally needs to cultivate reserve talents. As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger, and I believe they are fully prepared mentally."
Jian Yinghao nodded. His idea had already been mentioned. Whether he would adopt it or not would depend on Cheng Ling's wish. He said no more and asked: "So when will we set off?"
"Leave early tomorrow morning!"
"Okay! Then let's just wait for tomorrow!"
The next day, everyone gathered in front of the sect's square. Xuan Wuxiang and Song Hanyu came to see them off.
Song Hanyu glanced at his son and said to Cheng Ling: "Sect Master, this kid Yingjie has too little experience. Please take more care of him."
Cheng Ling nodded slowly.
Liu Qingyan frowned and scolded: "Hanyu, I think you are getting better and better as you live. How can you reach the pinnacle of cultivation without going through the baptism of blood and fire? Since you have chosen this path, life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor. In the sky, what kind of little children are you still doing here!"
Song Hanyu blushed. He didn't dare to talk back to Liu Qingyan, so he could only lower his head and agree.
He said: "Yes!"
Liu Qingyan waved her hand and said: "Okay, you all go back, we are about to leave!"
After saying that, he moved his hands, took out a flying magic weapon, and walked up first.
Cheng Ling was startled. He didn't expect Liu Qingyan to have such a flying magic weapon, which would save a lot of energy. He glanced at Jian Yinghao and others and followed him.
When everyone saw him starting, they all jumped on the flying magic weapon one by one.
Liu Qingyan moved her right hand a few times, and the magical weapon slowly rose into the air. Its speed increased sharply and soon disappeared into the sky.
Cheng Ling felt that the flying speed of this magic weapon was extremely fast, much faster than their own flying speed.
Liu Qingyan turned around and said calmly: "Okay, there is a mustard space inside the magic weapon. You can choose a room to practice. At the current speed, it will take more than a month to reach the outer edge of the secret realm."
Everyone was very happy after hearing this. It would be pointless to wait for more than a month on the magic weapon. Now there is a room for rest and practice, which is great. Under the guidance of Liu Qingyan, they all entered the magical artifact and chose their own rooms.
Cheng Ling chose a slightly larger guest room. He had already told Liu Qingyan the location of the sword tomb. This month was just the right time to learn the art of sword control. I haven't practiced much since I acquired the skill of flying with a sword. There are still a few sword skills that I need to master as soon as possible.
This trip is going to the secret realm of Sword Tomb. Liu Qingyan has the strongest cultivation among everyone. Jian Yinghao, Bai Yiyi, and Gu Youlan can help. As for Wu Chenlong, Xi Yan, Zhang Hu, and Song Yingjie, these four people need to be divided. God took care of it.
Especially Song Yingjie, judging from Song Hanyu's attitude, he really loved his precious son. If something unexpected happened, it would be hard to explain. This is also a major factor in Song Hanyu's delay in making progress. There are too many worries in the world, and his progress in cultivation is slow.
But Cheng Ling didn't care. In his opinion, practicing Taoism does not require being ruthless and abandoning love. The reason why people are different from monsters is that they have rich love, hate, anger, and ignorance. Like Gu Youlan's ruthless skills, he is Determined to look down upon.
He has been paying attention to Gu Youlan's performance. Looking at the current form, after being promoted to God Transformation, Gu Youlan's suppression of skills, or in other words, her own emotions, has become increasingly difficult to control. If this continues, unnecessary trouble will arise sooner or later.
During this expedition to the sword tomb, we must find a way to find an alternative technique for her. Otherwise, let alone the difficulty in his heart, even if Jian Fengshuang gets angry, it will still be enough for him to drink a pot.
He knew that he was a little sloppy when it came to the relationship between men and women. But after more than ten years in this world, my feelings for the earth have not diminished by half. The figure in his mind and the subtle emotional concepts always occupied his heart.
"Perhaps it will take me longer to adapt to this world!"
Cheng Ling sighed secretly and made a summary for himself. But he knew that even if he didn't think about it, some things still had to be faced.
I brought Xi Yan with me on this trip because I saw how she behaved after seeing him. Xiyan is so miserable. She was supposed to be a carefree rich lady, but now her family is ruined. She is the only one to rely on. You should stay with her as much as you can!
There is also Bai Suzhen who is trapped in the Canglang Sea. I don’t know how she is doing now. Come on, Sister Bai, when the exploration of the secret realm of Sword Tomb is over, head to Canglang Sea!
He slowly closed his eyes, put aside distracting thoughts, and began to study the sword-controlling technique with all his heart!
