As one of the four super powers in the Immortal Realm, Chaoyang Temple has extremely rich cultivation resources, especially in the Sword Ancestor Star, which is the core of the three major star regions.
After practicing for three days, Cheng Ling began to practice step by step according to the plan.
First of all, it is the improvement of mysteries. On the Sword Ancestor Star, there are many secret realms for improving mysteries, such as metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and ice, and eight series of regular mysteries for you to choose from. As long as you pay a certain amount of sect contribution points, you can meditate on them for as long as you want.
Fortunately, he had conquered three sword towers in a row and accumulated millions of contribution points, which was enough for Cheng Ling to spend.
The Five Elements Hall is a secret realm that assists in understanding the mysteries of the Five Elements. The hall occupies a very large area and is not under the Starry Sky Sword Mansion. There are a total of five secret realms, each corresponding to a type of Five Elements attribute. At this time, Cheng Ling was concentrating on understanding in the metallic secret realm.
He has comprehended 90% of all the attributes of the five elements. It takes more than a day to achieve perfection. The gap between 90% and 100% is almost equal to the sum of the previous figures. Fortunately, Cheng Ling's understanding is astonishing, and coupled with the bonus in the secret realm, in the past two months, he finally understood the secret of gold to 100%.
However, he did not devote all his time to meditating on mysteries. In the evening, he went to the top of a mountain to practice the Scripture of Mind Refining. Beyond the Sword Ancestor Star is the universe, where the effect of tempering one's spiritual power will be better.
Now that the fourth spiritual heart has been condensed, the output of spiritual power has increased significantly, the spiritual power has been enhanced, the relative consciousness and soul have been increased, and the understanding has also increased, making enlightenment more effective with half the effort.
Ten months later, all the Five Elements Mysteries were raised to perfection. Next, Cheng Ling began to understand the secret of thunder.
Strictly speaking, the Secret of Thunder is a branch of the Wood Element, with extremely strong lethality and explosive power. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to comprehend than the Secret of Five Elements.
It took him three months to improve the secret of thunder to ten percent.
And after the past thirteen months, the fifth spiritual heart has condensed, the sea of consciousness has greatly expanded, and the capacity of spiritual power has increased by 20%.
At this point, the first step of the training goal has been basically achieved. Sword Hero is still killing attribute elves in Cheng Ling's body, hoping to replenish the nine attribute spiritual roots.
"The six mysteries have been perfected, and my understanding of force-generating techniques and sword realm has also been improved. It's time to break into the sword tower again." Cheng Ling breathed out lightly, moved his body, and galloped towards the giant sword again.
In the square below the giant sword, the monks outside suddenly discovered that the originally dim giant sword shone brightly again. This time the speed was extremely fast, from one to ten without too many pauses, and it was advancing all the way, and from eleven to fourteen, fifteen...
"Who is it? He broke into the tower so fast!"
"A purple figure passed by just now. I think it looks like Cheng Ling. After a year, he started to break into the sword tower again. I don't know if he can pass the level this time."
"Is it really Cheng Ling? The speed was so fast, he barely stopped for a moment. The light on the front layer just went out, and the next layer lit up."
"Stop talking and watch carefully!"
This time, Cheng Ling broke into the tower much faster because he had already seen the swordsmanship of those swordsmen once and had already taken targeted measures.
It only took an hour to go from the first floor to the twenty-fifth floor, and almost every floor only took a cup of tea.
However, after reaching the twenty-fifth floor, the number of swordsmen increased, and their cooperation became more tacit. The difficulty of killing rose sharply, and the speed of entering the tower began to slow down again.
Twenty-sixth floor, twenty-seventh floor, twenty-eighth floor...
Until the 33rd floor, Cheng Ling hurriedly increased his vigilance. From the beginning, he used Bagua Wandering Dragon Step to fly all over the place, constantly looking for the swordsman's flaws. From killing one at the beginning, to two, three, and finally to the eighth, the number of swordsmen killed increased four times before being stabbed between the eyebrows by two of the swordsmen and failing again.
The body shape appeared, and he sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating and meditating.
Breaking through the sword tower brings too many benefits. It makes Cheng Ling's sword skills more practical and more direct to the essence. The ultimate purpose of sword skills is to kill people, whether they are doing evil or doing good. Not its essence.
The sword tower is to stimulate a person's sword potential and enter a state of selflessness. In the state of selflessness, every move and every style is extremely lethal and more perfect than the normal self.
After his body fully recovered, he drifted away again and continued to comprehend the mysteries of attributes.
I chose the Five Elements Mystery and the Thunder Mystery before because I have practiced these sword techniques myself. As the level of mysteries increases, the power of the sword techniques will naturally become stronger. But next, he was ready to begin to understand the mysteries of light and darkness.
There are no secret realms on the Sword Ancestor Star to assist in the cultivation of these two mysteries. In desperation, he could only take out some dark and light crystals from the space in his body to help him comprehend them.
Just as he was immersed in understanding, Zhou Yuanbai came.
Cheng Ling came in and asked, "Brother Zhou, why are you here this time?"
Zhou Yuanbai glanced at him and said with a smile: "First of all, I came here to see if Brother Cheng is enjoying his stay in Chaoyang Temple, and if there is anything I need help with. I heard that you broke into the sword tower again before, and you have gained something new. ?”
Cheng Ling said: "Thank you, Brother Zhou. The Chaoyang Temple is very good. As for the last level of the Sword Tower, it is indeed difficult, but in the end it is a little better than the first time. It has been more than a year. Is there any news from Zhongyuan Continent?"
Zhou Yuanbai sighed and said: "This is the second purpose for me to come to Brother Cheng. Today's Zhongyuan Continent can be said to be in turmoil. Jiang Haoyang and Songfeng Guan have integrated hundreds of large and small sects. Even Tianxin Pavilion is all under its banner."
"Only the Piaomiao Snow Sect, Tiandao Sect, Scarlet Blood Sect, Chiyang Sect, Ruixia Immortal Sect and other forces are still contending. Unfortunately, the strength of the two sides is too disparate, and they probably won't be able to hold on for long."
Cheng Ling's heart sank and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the Luochen Sword Sect?"
"The Luochen Sword Sect lives in a corner and borders the Hai Clan. For a while, they didn't want to attract the attention of the Hai Clan, so they managed to escape the disaster for the time being. However, a new force emerged from the southwest and was also advancing northward. "
"Southwest? What kind of force is that?"
"Although the southwest is rich in resources, the environment is extremely harsh. There are high mountains and miasma covering the sky everywhere. It is difficult for human monks to survive. But these are not a big deal to the monsters. They prefer that kind of living environment."
"Therefore, most of the powerful demon clans gathered there. Originally, Songfengguan and Tiandao Sect were the two lines of defense to prevent the demon clan from invading the mainland. But with Jiang Haoyang's actions, the elites of the two sects gathered in the center of Zhongyuan Continent. , the southwest became an empty area, and the demon clan took advantage of the situation to rise."
"There is also the Buddha Sect. They seem to have sensed the anomaly on the Taoist side. Led by Broken Leaf Buddha Kingdom and Bodhi Temple, they frequently send elite disciples to the bloody wasteland. They are about to enter the realm of the Taoist sect."
After hearing this, Cheng Ling felt a headache. These forces were mixed together, so how could one word be messed up. But at the moment, he has no good solution. The only thing he is worried about is the demon clan. The Luochen Sword Sect is also in the southern border. If the resistance to their northward movement is too great, they may change direction.
From this point of view, the existence of the Hai Clan is still beneficial to the Luochen Sword Sect. However, Jiang Haoyang's pace was getting faster and faster, and he didn't have much time left for him.
He pondered for a while and asked: "Brother Zhou, if Jiang Haoyang is so public, why don't Chaoyang Temple and Thunder Immortal Palace just care about him?"
Zhou Yuanbai sighed: "Brother Cheng doesn't know. If the Thunder Immortal Palace is willing to join forces with our Chaoyang Temple, it may still be able to fight. Unfortunately, the Thunder Immortal Palace is not a pure human race in the strict sense. As long as Jiang Haoyang does not If you take the initiative to provoke someone, it’s hard to persuade them.”
"Besides, the four super powers of our Taoist sect are fighting together, and the only ones who are cheaper are the demon clan and the Buddhist sect. No one will agree to this."
Cheng Ling secretly sighed in his heart. After all, the strength of the four superpowers is only between the two. No one can overpower the other. Without a powerful and important person to suppress them, they are nothing but scattered sand. From this point of view, Jiang Haoyang's idea of integrating Taoist forces is quite correct.
He shook his head, barely dispelling these worries. The most important thing at hand was to improve his strength.
After thinking for a while, he said: "That's all. With our current abilities, there is nothing we can do. It will only increase our worries. Brother Zhou came at the right time. I want to ask you for something."
Zhou Yuanbai also knew that what Cheng Ling said was true. He told him the news just to relieve the depression in his heart. He immediately asked: "What's the matter?"
"Brother Zhou, can you help me collect some materials to help me understand the secrets, such as the secrets of shadow, the secrets of yin and yang, the secrets of space, etc. The more the better, I can exchange them with immortal crystals and elixirs."
Zhou Yuanbai replied readily: "What's the difficulty? I will help you go to the trading hall to release the task later. I can also mobilize chain stores in Zhongyuan Continent to help collect."
"That's it, thank you very much!"
The two chatted for a while before Zhou Yuanbai said goodbye and left.
Cheng Ling immediately entered into enlightenment again. There was not much time left for him, so he had to improve his strength as much as possible.
Six months later, after consuming hundreds of dark crystals, Cheng Ling improved the secret of darkness to 100%.
A year later, the secret of light was raised to 100%. It happened that at this time, Zhou Yuanbai brought the materials he requested to collect. There were more than 500 shadow crystals, more than 200 yin and yang crystals each, and the least space crystal, only 72 pieces.
Cheng Ling was overjoyed, but soon became embarrassed. In order to restore the space in the body, a large amount of fairy crystal veins were consumed before, but the fairy crystals he now has are not enough to pay for so many attribute crystals.
After hearing this, Zhou Yuanbai laughed and said, "Brother Cheng, this is nothing. If you are really embarrassed, then help us refine some elixirs!"
Cheng Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, but my time is very tight. You are responsible for providing the materials, and I will spend two hours every day to help refine the elixir."
Zhou Yuanbai was overjoyed and said: "That's very good. If you need anything else, just ask me. Brother Cheng, if you can help refine the elixir, it's actually a big advantage for me."
There was no exaggeration in what he said. Based on Cheng Ling's alchemy level, he estimated that he could refine at least an eighth-grade elixir. As we all know, the higher the level of elixirs, the more difficult it is to create elixirs. There are no more than ten eighth-level elixir masters in the entire Zhongyuan Continent. This is also a major reason for restricting the development of sects.
Among the four sects of the Chaoyang Temple Alchemy Weapon Array, the only one that is proficient is the Weapon Dao. Just because everyone in the sect practices swordsmanship, the level of weapon refining is simply piled up. For the other three, there is basically no inheritance left, especially the For elixirs, the amount of fairy crystals spent on them every year is an astronomical figure.
Now with Cheng Ling's promise, refining for two hours every day has solved a big problem and saved a lot of resources for the Chaoyang Temple.
