Because of the experience he had when he came, Chen Ping no longer had to explore the route hard when he returned.
And compared to when it came:
First, his cultivation level has been improved to a higher level;
Secondly, I ate a lot of spiritual fruits on Lian Shen Island, which further improved my spiritual power reserves;
Thirdly, with a valuable treasure like the Split Wind Shuttle, the speed is greatly increased.
Fourth, the spiritual consciousness has undergone a huge qualitative change, which can reduce the time of waiting for the Nine Nether Colorful Cicada to explore the path.
With these advantages, the speed is much faster than before.
Five days later, Chen Ping was far away from Luanluo City and entered the endless dense forest. After scanning with his spiritual consciousness, he found a relatively safe place. He took out the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword and tried the Qingmang Sword to his heart's content.
A sword was swung out, and a huge green light fell from the sky. The sword's intention covered the sky and blocked the sun, giving people an unstoppable power, making people fearful and unable to escape.
This sword is the twenty-year-old Qingmang Sword (Grandmaster): 986/1000. ,
Close to Dzogchen.
Not only is it devastating, but it can also break the monk's state of mind.
As long as the opponent's state of mind is not strong enough, he may give up resistance under one sword blow.
Chen Ping tried it two or three times and came to the conclusion that using the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, the power of the Qingmang Sword increased by at least 30%.
Both speed and power are more terrifying.
Not only that, the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword also had some reaction.
When he first got the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, Chen Ping tried to inject spiritual power to awaken the ancient sword.
But there was no response.
Even the forbidden law patterns on the sword were like dead objects, without any luster.
But at this moment, when using the green light sword, the sword pattern actually gave off a faint luster.
The luster is very weak, even fleeting.
But this made Chen Ping very happy - this ancient sword was indeed not simple.
Only now did he realize that it was not spiritual power that needed to awaken this ancient sword.
But the sword intention.
This is completely different from ordinary magic swords.
His current green light sword was close to perfection, and the sword's intention covered the sky and the sun. Under this situation, the ancient sword lit up slightly.
'A good sword! ,
While Chen Ping was happy, he also felt a little emotional:
'I have now practiced sword intention to a level that is unmatched by almost all foundation-building monks.' The level of master can be said to be the pinnacle. Even early-stage sword cultivators in the golden elixir may not have as deep an understanding of sword intention as I do. But Even so, the lines on this sword only lit up slightly, it was really unfathomable! ,
'suit me. It would indeed be a waste to leave a family like Helian without an outstanding swordsman! ,
At this time, Chen Ping suddenly felt that a first-order monster had broken into the range of his clear consciousness.
How brave, you actually dare to interfere with my sword test.
Just in time to try it on you.
Chen Ping immediately killed the general and said, "Little thief, look at the sword!"
"Bang!"
With one strike of the sword, the fleeing first-order monster disappeared.
Chen Ping looked at the empty ground with some regret. There was no chance to collect monster meat.
He put away the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword and continued on his way.
...
The capital of demons, Luanluo City.
Deep inside the palace, Demon Queen Silver Moon walked into a quiet room and rubbed his temples.
When Lord Yin Yue closed the stone door, an old lady with a stooped figure walked out from behind the main seat. The old lady's steps were slow, her hair was gray, and she seemed to be approaching the end of her life.
But his face was peaceful and his expression was kind. When he saw True Lord Yin Yue coming in, he smiled and said:
"Have your children made you unhappy again?"
Yinyue gave up her sense of majesty, threw herself on the main seat regardless of her image, relaxed and said:
"That's not the case. It's just a little quarrel among their juniors.
Just married a prince. "
After a pause, Yinyue's plump body straightened up from a lazy position, leaned forward slightly, revealing a beautiful mountain scenery, and said:
"Witch, do you remember that I once told you that when Bai Linye went to the Western Wilderness for training, the demon cultivator he met activated the mist formation and plotted against the entire domain?"
The witch smiled kindly:
"Didn't that happen many years ago? Why do you suddenly mention it again?"
A trace of worry and confusion appeared on Yin Yue's face, and her four arms had nowhere to put them:
"That was indeed a long time ago, but according to what Ye'er said before, I have been secretly investigating, and it is becoming more and more likely that Baili Ye was trapped in the Qingyun Territory not by accident, but was deliberately lured into the Qingyun Territory... "
After Bailiye entered the Western Wilderness, he overheard rumors that there were monster clan ruins somewhere on the edge of the Wild Forest and the Western Wilderness.
Some of the ancient ruins of the Monster Clan are very beneficial for future generations to understand and break through the realm.
Afterwards, Bai Liye entered that area.
Sure enough, I saw a small historic site.
Then shortly after that, Baili Ye once again inquired about a small ruins in Qingyun Domain.
Because of his previous successful experience and Bailiye's eagerness for success and eager to break through the foundation building, he entered the Qingyun Domain without thinking at all.
Unfortunately, no such relics were found in Qingyun Domain.
Then at that moment, the magic cultivator's mist formation suddenly activated, covering the entire Qingyun Domain.
Baili Ye was therefore trapped in the Qingyun Domain.
And eventually became the key to opening the fog formation.
Baili Ye didn't realize that this was a conspiracy, but the Demon Queen had lived for hundreds of years. After hearing about it, she couldn't help but become suspicious, and she secretly investigated it over the years.
What a coincidence.
There were not many imperial demons in the first place, but they appeared in the Qingyun Territory, which was half a million miles away, and eventually became the key to the Qingyun Territory's self-rescue.
Now it seems that she is more inclined to believe that the information that reached Bailiye's ears was deliberately done by someone, and even the first demon clan monument that really appeared was just to deceive Bailiye's trust.
After hearing what the Demon Queen said, the witch said with a smile:
"That must have been done by Wei Xun. Wei Xun is the biggest beneficiary of this incident."
Silver Moon shook her head:
"At first I thought it was him, but after investigation, I found that it couldn't be him. Wei Xun didn't have the courage or the strategy. Unfortunately, I didn't figure out who did it."
Yinyue seemed to be answering the witch woman, or talking to herself, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the witch woman with a smile on her face, and suddenly said coquettishly:
"Witch, you must know something, just tell Yin Yue."
"Yo~yo~yo~"
The old witch laughed tremblingly, her voice was long and slow, and her tone was endearing: "Look at you, you're already fucked up, and you're still acting coquettishly. How unbecoming is it to spread this word?"
"Yinyue doesn't care, witch, you have to tell me, who is this plotter? Is it an internal matter within the demon cultivator?"
At this moment, Yinyue completely lost the dignity and majesty of a mother. Instead, she was like a child begging for candy.
The witch has a soothing voice and a smile on her face:
"Probably so. These things are very complicated. He won't be able to succeed in killing the waste. He is too self-righteous. His little trick is like a worm shaking a tree in the face of the overall situation."
Silver Moon's interest was disappointed:
"The overall situation? Is this also related to Moyang Boundary Wall?"
"Probably so." The witch woman smiled and spoke in a long tone.
"What exactly is the Moyang Boundary Wall? Witch, can't you tell me everything? You always speak dumbly. The wild forest is inaccessible. You said it has something to do with the Moyang Boundary Wall. The same is true for our Qingluan Dynasty who settled here. Back then, You also said that the demon cultivator established a sect in the Northern Desert, and now even the demon cultivator's failure in plotting the Qingyun Territory is involved." Yinyue said angrily.
The witch's old voice laughed, her laughter trembling:
"It's not that I won't tell you, but I don't know anything about this demon cultivator, this monster race, this wild forest, it's all my speculations, and there is no basis for it. It might be easy to mislead me if I say it. Why did you hide it?"
"really?"
"It's absolutely true. There are so many secrets in this misty continent that you and I don't understand. What exactly is the Moyang Boundary Wall? I want to know, old lady, too."
Yinyue was a little disappointed. She waved her hand lightly, and a map of several districts drawn with spiritual power appeared on the wall.
The westernmost part of the map is the wild forest.
"If the wild forest hides the secret of Moyang's boundary wall, then most of the secret realms that have appeared in recent years are related to this." Yinyue said quietly.
The witch nodded:
"That secret realm is not stable. It will take more than ten years, or even decades, to stabilize. Until then, it will be time for the juniors to show their talents."
"Your nominal husband has a saying that is right - there are some things that racking your brains to explore if you don't have enough cultivation will only be in vain, causing a lot of harm but no benefit. When you don't have enough cultivation, you need to The only thing to do is practice, practice, and practice.”
"That's a very good statement."
"It's the same with you and me. Old lady, I don't have much life left, but you are different, and those juniors who build foundations and golden elixirs are different. Don't think about the boundary wall, seize every opportunity to practice. When the secret realm comes, don't worry about it. Its reason, use it, seize your own opportunities, and grow, that's fine."
"When your cultivation is high enough, many things will naturally become clear. Old lady, I have no chance, but you still have many opportunities, and those juniors who build foundations and golden elixirs still have opportunities."
Silver Moon spoke for a moment.
In fact, this is what she usually tells her juniors.
It’s just that when I get here, I always want to figure out some things that I don’t understand.
People have such double standards.
She looked at the map, looking at the secret realms that were about to take shape, and said leisurely:
"I had contact with Xiyue from Tianyan Sect before. She went there a few years ago and was injured."
The witch woman smiled and said: "In times of instability, the space flows turbulently like a sword, and injuries are normal. But she was lucky enough to find the unknown wine."
"Really? Then her old illness can be cured?" Yinyue said.
"Is there any hope? That nameless wine can only relieve it. Her illness is not an old disease, but fate. Her fate is the same as that of your nominal husband. She will eventually die due to the Moyang boundary wall, and no one can stop her." Wu Wu My mother-in-law is used to life and death, and her tone is neither sad nor happy.
"Then the person who provided her with spiritual wine couldn't save her?" Yinyue was stunned for a moment.
"I can't save you!" The witch's voice trembled because she was old and smiling: "That person is weak, not powerful, he just happened to brew this kind of spiritual wine."
Yinyue sighed and stopped talking.
The road to seeking the truth has always been paved with thorns. This journey will be very bitter and difficult. Many people will die on the road, leaving only a pile of withered bones.
But we should not be afraid just because we see dead bones, we should not be depressed because of difficulties, and we should not give up eating because of bitterness or choking.
If you give up, there is nothing.
…
The journey home was long, but not bitter at all for Chen Ping.
Every step of life is accumulation.
For a person like him who likes to stay at home, every time he goes out is a rare opportunity to accumulate life experience.
How to better use spiritual consciousness to explore the way forward?
How to choose the safest path?
When you meet a strange monk, how can you avoid it without getting into trouble? …
These cannot be achieved by practicing on Xiaozhu Peak of Lingxiao Sect.
More than a month later, Chen Ping returned to Lingxiao Sect.
After not seeing each other for nearly three years, Lingxiao Sect is still the same as before: the diligent disciples, the dojo where swords and swords compete, the magnificent sect buildings...
Nothing less than that.
"Master Chen Feng!"
"Senior Chen."
"..."
Along the way, the disciples who were practicing in a dojo or somewhere with abundant spiritual energy saw Chen Ping, whom they had not seen for several years, and stood up to say hello.
Chen Ping nodded one by one. Some of these faces he recognized, but a few of them were unfamiliar. At this moment, when he saw a good-looking female disciple paying respects seriously, he felt unfamiliar. He said curiously:
"Which peak are you a disciple of? How come I haven't seen you before?"
"Back to Master Chen, this disciple is an inner disciple and does not belong to a specific peak. He came from Tianyan Territory last year to join the Lingxiao Sect. This is the first time that this disciple has the honor to meet Master Chen." Then the disciple got The peak master asked, feeling very happy and quickly answered.
I see.
When he left before, Master Sima had been busy recruiting outstanding disciples to replenish his blood.
It seems that there is some gain.
Return to Xiaozhu Peak.
I found that the aura on Xiaozhu Peak was stronger than before. It seems that the planting of butterfly spirit evening primrose has been successful.
This is a rare change for Lingxiao Sect.
"Master, are you back?" Xiao Hong, who was busy in the yard, saw Chen Ping coming back and immediately ran over and said happily:
"Yesterday, the maid told Xiao Cui and the others that she dreamed that the master of the house would come back in the near future, and he did come back today."
"Thank you for your hard work. You'd better dream about me becoming an immortal next time." Chen Ping said with a smile.
"Master, you are already an immortal." When Xiaohong said this, she had already picked up her skirt and ran away:
"My maid goes to call the Second Madam. The Second Madam is practicing in a quiet room. She has asked the maid to notify her as soon as possible."
…
"Is the refining of the gods going well?"
Yun Haitang walked out immediately after hearing the news. Now in the quiet room, she held Chen Ping's hand and sat down on her knees.
Yun Haitang's emotions are relatively reserved, not as unreserved as Yu Lingchun's. If this were Yu Lingchun, she would immediately rush towards her and beg for a hug without letting go, but Yun Haitang made no such move.
But from the way she held Chen Ping's hand tightly, Chen Ping could feel the heat in her heart.
*** Chen held her slender little porcelain-white hands:
"It's going very smoothly. I can now completely control the demonic thoughts in my heart."
Hearing this, Yun Haitang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said easily: "I knew you could succeed. My husband is the most powerful."
...You knew I could succeed. You were so nervous just now.
Chen Ping complained in his heart but did not expose her.
Just said:
"Looking at your aura, you should be preparing to break through the eighth level of foundation building, right?"
"Well, it's been more than twenty years." Yun Haitang blushed.
Chen Ping smiled and said:
"You are burdened with mundane tasks, but it is a good thing if you can make a breakthrough. When you make a breakthrough, I will teach you how to practice divine arts. As long as you spend some time, you will always make progress."
"Yeah." Yun Haitang felt sweet in her heart.
Next, the two shared some of their experiences in the past two years.
At Lingxiao Sect, everything is going according to plan.
The Yun family has also reclaimed an area in the northeast of Qingyun Territory and is operating a mine for the sect, which can be considered to be impressive.
Yun Haitang had been stationed there before, but this year she felt signs of a breakthrough, so she returned to Xiaozhu Peak and handed over the general affairs to Yun Lingshan.
Yun Lingshan has now become one of the pillars of the Yun family.
As the Yun family grows bigger and bigger, they are planning to invite a foundation-building monk from another branch of the Yun family to come back to enhance the Yun family's strength.
At this moment, Yun Haitang asked Chen Ping for his opinion.
Chen Ping naturally had no objection.
To be honest, if it weren't for his existence, it would have been more difficult for the Yun family to survive only with Yun Haitang, who was on the seventh level of foundation building, and Yun Lingshan, who was on the first level of foundation building.
After talking about the Yun family, Yun Haitang listened carefully to what Chen Ping had seen and heard in the demon capital. There were many things she didn’t know.
, so that she listened with great interest.
When he heard those dangerous things, Chen Ping's hand tightened unknowingly. When he heard that Chen Ping had already built the eighth floor of the foundation, he was overjoyed.
One night, the two reunited after a long absence, and they had endless topics to talk about.
the other side.
Xiaohong hugged the quilt and ran quietly to Xiaocui's bedroom.
Because there were only a few people on Xiaozhu Peak and there were many rooms, the three of them each occupied a room, and enjoyed the best treatment that the maids in other families could not even imagine.
"Xiao Hong, if you don't serve the master and his wife, why did you come to me?" Xiao Cui raised her head from the bed when she saw Xiao Hong coming.
"The head of the house and... the second lady are... chatting. I'll come to your place and spend the night." After Xiaohong said that, she turned into Xiaocui's bed.
Xiaohong needs to serve the master and his wife at all times, so her bedroom is next to the master's bedroom, while Xiaocui's is slightly farther away.
Just when Xiao Cui was puzzled, she heard some noises and immediately understood why Xiao Hong came over.
After a while, Goudan also came.
The three of them were lying on the bed, their ears pricked up and their faces flushed.
"This... takes so long?" Xiao Cui blushed.
Xiao Hong covered her ears with her hands, and secretly left a gap to eavesdrop: "Hey, it should be over soon... right? Go to sleep."
"How can I sleep here? Wait...just wait a moment." Goudan whispered...and then became quiet after it was over.
…
midnight.
The three of them stared blankly at the top of the bed.
"...The master of the house really...doesn't know how to show mercy at all...Madam...can you bear it?" Xiao Cui muttered.
"It should...not hurt." Xiaohong said quietly.
"Tch, it sounds like you have tried it. Don't say anything anymore, just go to sleep. It should be over soon."
…
"here we go again…"
"Go to sleep." Xiaohong said sleepily.
"Don't sleep. It's almost dawn. Let's get up and work." Goudan rubbed the swollen dark circles under his eyes.
