Time passed slowly, and after a month, everyone had made great progress.
Song Yingjie broke through the level and stopped at the seventh level of the tunnel level, but his cultivation level has reached the perfection of the divine transformation stage. After a while, he can advance to the distraction stage.
After him, Bai Yiyi took the lead in entering the barrier. She has been at the peak of Divine Transformation for two months, and with the guidance of Cheng Ling, she should have good results in passing the level.
After a month of hard work, Gu Youlan finally caught up with them, and her cultivation level was improved to the perfection of becoming a god. She will go there when Jian Yinghao's breakthrough is completed.
Wu Chenlong, Xi Yan, and Zhang Hu have all reached the late stage of divine transformation, and they will surely reach the state of perfection in a while.
In addition to fighting the sword elves, these people just gained insights and made rapid progress in the country.
It was just that nearly two months had passed and Jian Yinghao hadn't come out yet, so Gu Youlan began to worry.
Cheng Ling comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jian is extremely talented and has amazing fighting power. As long as he doesn't choose the King level, he should be able to pass the level."
"I'm just worried that he chose the king-level difficulty. Brother Jian has been very impressive since he was a child. No one of his generation can match him. Until you appeared, I was afraid that he would be willing to take risks."
"No, the value of Brother Jian is not only the way of swordsmanship, but also his love for you and his responsibility to the academy. He will make the right choice."
"I hope so!" Gu Youlan sighed and could only pray in her heart.
At this time, Liu Qingyan came over and asked: "Cheng Ling, this place is indeed a holy land for cultivation. Not only does it have rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but there are also sword elves as opponents, plus the True Yuan Fruit and the Sword Dao Fruit. I really can't wait to see you. Move the sect here."
Cheng Ling laughed and said, "Uncle Liu, I have something I want to discuss with you. How about we go to the trial hall?"
"Okay, let me see what other ideas you have."
Cheng Ling immediately walked towards the trial hall.
The two returned to the hall, and Cheng Ling told her exactly what Mr. Yuan Ling said about the revival of kendo.
After finishing speaking, he continued to add: "Uncle Master, my idea is to unite like-minded people from the Wuxiang Sword Sect and the Famous Sword Academy to form a sect first. Of course, it will not only recruit swordsmen."
"It's just that the inheritance of swordsmanship here is very rich, and swordsmen will have an advantage to a certain extent. As for the way of law and martial arts, I will look for other opportunities in the future."
Liu Qingyan's heart stirred up huge waves. She didn't expect that Cheng Ling had such a grand plan. To revive the swordsmanship, it was such a huge goal that it was impossible to achieve it with the current power.
She sighed and said, "Cheng Ling, it's very difficult to realize your idea! Canglan Continent is so vast, and the area we are in is just the tip of the iceberg."
"The various monastic forces occupy the resources on the mainland, and it is simply impossible for you to obtain the kendo space from them. The Famous Sword Academy is only a second-rate force located in the south. Even the five major academies cannot gain much prominence on the mainland. "
"What? Uncle Master has contact with various forces?"
"Have you heard of East China Sea, West Gold, South Fire, and North Snow?"
Cheng Ling shook his head blankly.
Liu Qingyan explained: "East China Sea is the East China Sea Dragon Palace; West Gold is the Shura Sword Sect; Nanhuo is the Phoenix Yan Sect; Beixue is the Misty Snow Sect."
"These four major sects are the four most powerful forces in Canglan Continent. Not only that, there are also five major families. Duanmu in the east, Ouyang in the south, Dugu in the north, Murong in the west, and the Zhao family in the center."
"These nine major forces occupy almost 90% of the mainland's cultivation resources. The remaining second-rate sects and families only occupy one of them.
become. Like the five major academies you know, there are also the Li family, the He family, the Liu family, etc. "
"Southern Ouyang? Is it the Ouyang family next to the Famous Sword Academy? Their strength is not strong!"
"What you have seen is just an external branch of the Ouyang Family. That's all. Its power is only under the Famous Sword Academy. If it is this family, do you know how strong it is?"
Cheng Ling asked in confusion: "How strong is it?"
"I'm not talking about their family members, just high-end combat power. A first-class family or sect needs at least one Mahayana monk and more than ten Tribulation-Transcending monks."
"A second-rate family or sect needs at least one cultivator in the Tribulation Stage, more than ten cultivators in the Divination Stage, and so on. As for our Wuxiang Sword Sect, at most, we are in the middle position among the third-rate sects. Explain it this way. , do you understand?"
Liu Qingyan originally thought that Cheng Ling would be deeply affected if he knew this, and his plan to revive the swordsmanship would be temporarily abandoned. Who would have thought that after hearing this, his eyes flashed with dazzling light, and his whole body was like a long sword about to come out of his body, full of desire, yearning, and edge!
Just listen to him murmuring: "This world is indeed wonderful. Only by constantly exploring the vast road construction can you see the beautiful scenery in it. The four major sects and the five major families, let me, Cheng Ling, stay in your memories Leave an indelible impression!”
Liu Qingyan was completely stunned. After a moment, the light of expectation and appreciation flashed in her eyes: perseverance, facing difficulties, talent, aptitude, mind, and means are all the best. There is always a kind of magic about him that makes people feel trustful.
Even the senior himself was almost impressed by his charisma. He can become successful and may one day stand at the top of the world.
Taking a deep breath, with a hint of respect, he said: "Sect Master, what are you going to do?"
Cheng Ling was startled, Liu Qingyan rarely called him that. Only in front of outsiders, and if he was familiar with him, he would only call him by his first name. Such a respectful tone is really rare.
He pondered for a long time and said: "The exploration of the secret realm of Sword Tomb has been completed. Next, I am going to Canglang Sea to settle a relationship. Uncle Master will take Xiyan and others back to the sect first."
"On the one hand, take away the inheritance and resources of this place to enhance the strength of the sect. I have some spiritual stones here, please bring them back to my uncle. On the other hand, at all costs, enhance the strength of the law hall and the martial arts hall, and speed up the sect." Overall development.”
Liu Qingyan said: "Don't you want to revive the way of swordsmanship? Why do you still support the way of law and martial arts?"
"Cultivating Taoism has different paths and leads to the same goal. The simple way of swordsmanship is too narrow. Only by contending with each other can various systems compete with each other and prosper together."
Cheng Ling understood the bad nature of human beings very well. As long as there are no external enemies, there will definitely be external enemies within oneself. Only by maintaining competition with each other can the unity and harmony of a certain Taoist sect be guaranteed.
Liu Qingyan nodded silently and asked, "Then when will we leave?"
"After they break through the level, the trial here will be of great help to sword cultivators. It is best if Xi Yan and the other three can advance to Distraction. Then, let Supreme Master Xuan work hard for a while and continue to be the sect leader. I have too many worldly things. , the sect always needs someone to manage it.”
The corner of Liu Qingyan's mouth twitched, Xuan Wuxiang finally put aside the trivial matters of the sect and became the Supreme Elder for several years, so he could practice with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, Jianzhong and his party, Xi Yan, Zhang Hu, and Song Yingjie had all reached the level of perfect transformation into gods, and would even advance to the distraction stage soon.
This level of cultivation is far beyond that. As a sect's high-end combat power, he will definitely not manage trivial matters. Xuan Wuxiang, Supreme Elder, has only been in office for a few years, and now he wants to be the leader of the sect again. You can imagine the shadow in his heart. I have no choice but to try my best to comfort him.
She had no choice but to agree, leave the trial hall, and continue to fight and practice with the sword elves.
Cheng Ling continued to understand the artistic conception of space. Within a month, he had a deeper understanding of the artistic conception of space, and was only a thin layer away from enlightenment.
After another ten days, Jian Yinghao finally came out of the trial space. The whole person is full of murderous aura, exuding fierce sword intent, and his cultivation has advanced to the distraction stage.
Cheng Ling asked in surprise: "Brother Jian, how did you get through this level? You even broke through in your cultivation level."
Jian Yinghao laughed and said: "I passed all the levels. On the last level of Tiandaoguan, I saw a three-foot-wide spiritual essence pool. I practiced for a few days and broke through to the distraction stage."
Cheng Ling's heart moved and asked: "Which difficulty level do you choose?"
"Elite level! I wanted to try the King level, but then I thought about it and gave it up. The Elite level is safer."
Cheng Ling smiled happily, the sword hero was indeed extraordinary. Presumably, the rewards corresponding to each difficulty level are different. The reward for elite level clearance is only a three-foot-wide spirit marrow pool, but it seems that there should be no danger like the wind pillar in the spirit marrow pool.
He said: "Brother Jian came out at the right time. The challenge is over. Many insights need to be settled. Why don't we confirm it!"
"Okay, that's what I meant!" Jian Yinghao smiled heartily, then took the first shot and killed Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling swung his long sword horizontally to resist the incoming sword attack, and then used his Nine Jue Sword to fight him.
During this period, in addition to comprehending the artistic conception of space, he also practiced hard on the Nine Ultimate Sword. The sword type has not yet been refined, and the Nine Ultimate Sword will accompany him for a long time.
Fortunately, although the swordsmanship has no artistic conception, it is top-notch in terms of technique and sword intent, and is more than enough to fight with sword heroes.
The two fought for a quarter of an hour, Jian Yinghao was secretly horrified. He can pass through the three levels of heaven, earth and man, and his swordsmanship and cultivation have been greatly improved. I thought I would have a certain advantage, but I didn't expect that Cheng Ling's improvement was even higher than his.
His swordsmanship is extremely superb. Not only his basic style, swordsmanship level, and sword application seem to be higher than his own. He became more competitive and used all his skills to fight Cheng Ling. He used exquisite sword moves one after another.
Cheng Ling did not dare to take it lightly. Jian Yinghao's kendo realm had already reached the late stage of the second level. He could only raise his kendo realm to the peak of the second level before he could barely suppress it.
Although the sword hero does not have heaven-level swordsmanship, he has practiced the top-level earth-level swordsmanship to the limit. A sword attack came, even better than the heaven-level swordsmanship. In addition, he also understood the application of sword force. Although he is not as proficient as Cheng Ling, he is making progress with every sword attack.
The two fought for more than an hour. Jian Yinghao exited the sword circle and said sincerely: "Brother Cheng, I didn't expect you to advance so quickly. Now I am no longer your opponent."
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "Brother Jian's qualifications are amazing, and he is not inferior to me."
Jian Yinghao waved his hand and asked, "Where are they?"
Cheng Ling told him everything, and then said: "Brother Jian, the Jianzhong tour is over. I plan to leave first, and I will ask you to take care of them."
Jian Yinghao was startled and asked quickly: "Where are you going, Brother Cheng?"
"Canglang Sea, there is still a period of cause and effect that has not yet been resolved."
"Oh? How about this? Brother Cheng, wait a few months and go together after they finish breaking through. The Canglang Sea is endless and there are countless resources. We have never been there and we just want to see it."
"Besides, in five years' time, the exchanges between the five major colleges will begin, and they will go to the center of Canglan Continent together."
