Cheng Ling's body was like a stream of light, running straight ahead along the path, and in a blink of an eye he came to a roadside attic. This attic is not big, with only two floors. It looks very ordinary. After taking a closer look at the attic, with a flash of eyes, I can see that the restrictions on this attic have been broken long ago.
"Judging from this restriction, it doesn't take long to break." Cheng Ling looked cautious. It was obvious that he was not the only one who entered this place.
After a moment of silence, Cheng Ling swayed, walked around the attic, and stepped on a piece of grass. His eyes flashed with calculation, and he ran straight ahead without stopping.
The restrictions on the grass were a little more complicated than before, but they were still not enough in Cheng Ling's eyes. At this moment, he stepped on it and shuttled through the restrictions everywhere, but did not open any restrictions. He was very fast and crossed the grass in the blink of an eye.
Also in a group of attic buildings, outside a pavilion in the northeast corner, Zhou Yuanbai was staring at the pavilion with a tired look in his eyes.
He has been working hard for a long time, but still can't see through the restrictions in the pavilions. From the moment he entered the treasure house, Zhou Yuanbai was trapped in this palace complex without making much progress.
"Damn it, if I had known there were such complicated restrictions inside, I should have prepared some cracked treasures before coming here. Now, we are in a dilemma. Do we have to be trapped here forever?"
In the palace under the black mist, Jiang Haoyang was slowly walking out. The palace in front of him looked ordinary, but he knew that there was a teleportation array inside.
The ancestors of Jian Hui not only knew the specific location of the ancient sword cultivator's treasure, but also got a map of the treasure house. It's just that this map is not complete, with only two floors, while the real treasure house has three floors.
The place in front of you is the first floor. Only through the teleportation array in this palace can you enter the second floor. And as the layers get higher and higher, the formation restrictions inside will become more and more complex.
This was the test set by Patriarch Jianhui. The three inheritors of the swordsmanship order would see who could finally obtain the supreme inheritance of ancient swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, this test is not fair to the three swordsmen, because only those who have the Kendo Order will be sent to the first level, while those monks who do not have the Kendo Order can go directly to the second level.
In other words, as long as those monks without sword orders can enter the treasure house, their starting point will be higher than that of the three sword masters. But without the Kendo Order, and unable to enter the treasure house, this is an endless cycle that cannot be resolved.
Jiang Haoyang knew this very well, so he prepared many treasures to break the restrictions, so that he could be the first to reach the palace. He wants to buy time and shorten the gap in this area as much as possible by breaking the restrictions.
Turning his right hand, a fist-sized bead appeared in the palm of his hand, the formation-breaking bead! This formation-breaking bead is much larger than the formation-breaking bead that Zhao Jiuyou used in Jiuyou Immortal Mansion back then. By exerting force with the palm of his hand, the formation-breaking bead will be suspended in the air, and the immortal energy in his body will flow into it.
Soon, the bead began to spin rapidly, and the restrictions in the palace were absorbed by the bead. In less than a moment of tea, a simple teleportation array appeared in the center of the hall.
Jiang Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief, put away the formation-breaking beads, and strode forward. Soon, the teleportation array buzzed, and after emitting a dazzling halo, his figure disappeared.
Although it was only a short moment, the halo emitted by the teleportation array still spread, and Cheng Ling and Zhou Yuanbai immediately sensed it.
Zhou Yuanbai was so worried that he couldn't care about anything else. He turned around and headed towards the halo emanating from him.

The direction rushed over. Fortunately, this road is exactly what Jiang Haoyang has walked. Along the way, all the restrictions have been absorbed, and it will take a long time to be reborn.
On the other side, Cheng Ling also quickened his pace and rushed towards the palace shrouded in black mist.
One of them went south from the northeast corner, and the other went north from the southeast corner. After about half an hour, they met.
Zhou Yuanbai was ecstatic and shouted: "Brother Cheng, it's so good to see you!"
He was well aware of Cheng Ling's formation level. With him here, his path forward would be smooth.
Cheng Ling was stunned and said: "Brother Zhou, why are you here? Have you seen other immortal friends?"
Zhou Yuanbai gave a bitter smile and said: "Forget it, I have been trapped here since I entered the treasure house. If I hadn't seen the halo just now, I wouldn't have been able to find this place. It's good now. Brother Cheng is here, I guess I can lead him Little brother, get out of here."
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "I'll do my best. I also saw a halo just now. It is speculated that it should be inside the palace."
"Brother Cheng can just lead the way. I don't know anything about fighting."
Cheng Ling smiled and did not refuse immediately, leading Zhou Yuanbai into the main hall.
There are two huge statues in the hall, each holding a sword in their hands, pointing forward as if in the void, their eyes glaring. There is a strong coercion coming from these two statues, as if the power of heaven and earth is permeating the air, causing everyone who sees it to be captured in their thoughts.
Cheng Ling took a deep breath and punched out a long list of restraints with his magic hand. The pressure suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Yuanbai immediately woke up.
His eyes quickly swept across, but he didn't find any entrance. He then focused his attention on the two statues. The posture of the statues was very strange. Looking carefully, although the two seemed to be hostile, the direction of the long sword was to avoid the vital point between the eyebrows.
A slight difference makes a thousand miles, and if there is such a slight difference, it is impossible to hit. After a moment of silence, Cheng Ling's body slowly floated into the air, reaching the same height as the statue. He took out the Dragon Ling Sword in his hand and stabbed it out with almost the same posture as the statue.
"Dang~!"
With a crisp sound, the sword light filled the air, but it hit the head of the statue opposite and hit the pillar behind it. A layer of ripples suddenly appeared in the space of the main hall, which spread for a while and then calmed down again.
But in Cheng Ling's eyes, he could clearly see half a square building in the center of the hall, like a teleportation array.
He suddenly realized that these two statues were the mechanism that opened the entrance. He immediately said to Zhou Yuanbai: "Brother Zhou, follow the posture of the statue opposite and draw your sword at me. Don't worry, the position of this statue is very strange. Might hit the opponent."
Zhou Yuanbai nodded and floated in front of another statue like Cheng Ling.
When Cheng Ling was ready, he said, "Okay, I'll count one, two, three, and strike out with the sword at the same time."
Zhou Yuanbai said: "Okay!"
"One, two, three, fight!" After three counts, the two men's swords struck out at the same time.
"Dang~!" The two sword beams only made a resounding sound. The next moment, ripples suddenly appeared in the hall, and the layers of restrictions gradually faded away, revealing the teleportation array in the central area.
Zhou Yuanbai was overjoyed and said: "Brother Cheng, this is the teleportation array."
"Yes, without further ado, let's hurry in and those restrictions will be restored soon."
"Okay!" Zhou Yuanbai agreed, and the two of them entered the teleportation array. After waiting for a moment, the teleportation array roared.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
A strong halo was emitted again, and when the halo dissipated, the two people had disappeared.
I don't know how long it took, but the two of them felt something solid under their feet, and then they opened their eyes and looked around.
In front of him is another huge hall. There are two rows of statues on both sides of the hall, extending all the way to the front. These statues are different from those in the Black Mist Palace. They are much smaller, almost the size of ordinary people, and are carved lifelike. Each statue looks like a sword cultivator, holding a sword and making different postures.
They stab, tease, chop, collapse, block, or slice. Every gesture is like a sword move.
"These sword moves look ordinary, but they feel very exquisite. If you fight against them, every sword seems to be impossible to resist." Zhou Yuanbai observed for a moment and said in a deep voice.
Cheng Ling nodded. Zhou Yuanbai's understanding was still very good. He used these statues as imaginary enemies to learn and decipher the opponent's sword moves. He was much better than the average swordsman.
But this was not enough. In Cheng Ling's eyes, the sword moves of these statues could be understood separately, or they could be connected to form a complete set of combos.
This is not to say that Cheng Ling's kendo talent is much higher than Zhou Yuanbai's, but the difference in vision and kendo realm.
Zhou Yuanbai's swordsmanship realm is at the early stage of the fourth level at most, maybe not as good as that. Cheng Ling is at the peak of the fourth level and is good at using sword combos. Moreover, he has been studying the sword canon for many years and has an understanding of the swordsmanship. More thorough.
However, this was not the time to meditate on these statues. He stepped forward and memorized them while walking, making sure not to miss any statue.
"Tap...tap...tap..."
The two people's footsteps stepped on the floor tiles of the hall, making bursts of rhythmic sounds. However, this passage seemed to have no end and kept extending forward. Not only that, the passage was also full of restrictions, but most of these restrictions were broken, like It looks like it has just been cracked.
Cheng Ling's heart sank. It seemed that someone was already there first, and judging from the speed at which the restriction was restored, they were getting further and further away from him.
He had to speed up his pace and led Zhou Yuanbai continuously through the layers of restrictions, without touching the opening at all, and directly penetrated through.
An hour passed like this, and as we continued to move forward, the temperature in the air gradually began to rise. Later, even my skin felt a burning tingling sensation.
Zhou Yuanbai asked: "Where is the place ahead? How can it be so hot?"
Cheng Ling pointed forward and said, "I don't know, but we will see you soon."
Zhou Yuanbai looked in the direction he pointed, and saw fiery red shining in front of him, gradually approaching, it turned out to be a sea of fire, as if it was a world of its own.
In this small space, the middle position was dyed red, a large amount of black mist filled the surroundings, and loud rumbling sounds continued to echo. Occasionally, thick flames sprayed out from the sky like rain. Generally spilled.
Sea of fire, this is the real sea of fire!
The ground is divided into countless pieces like cracks, floating on a piece of magma, and bursts of black gas rise from the magma from time to time, emitting thick high temperatures.
On those cracked continents, Cheng Ling saw four people: Jian Yinghao, Yin Luoyao, Chu Yulu, and Ye Qiuhe. Their faces were pale, and even though they were illuminated by the firelight here, they were still not rosy at all. They were holding their chests with their right hands, and a wisp of blood spilled from the corners of their mouths. They were obviously seriously injured.
