"Master? Come in."
Chen Ping answered when Xiyue knocked on the door.
He casually opened the stone door for her.
He had just taken a step on the Sword Intent Avenue and completed the 15 steps he set as a goal. At this moment, his spiritual power was exhausted, he was sweating profusely, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"What did you do? You're sweating profusely." After Xiyue came in, she saw Chen Ping's appearance and looked at the apprentice suspiciously.
He looked around the jade bed again.
Chen Ping wiped his sweat:
"What else can you do? Just practice swordsmanship. Does Master want to see me for something?"
Are you practicing swordplay in bed? ... Xiyue cursed. He withdrew his doubtful gaze and said calmly:
"How is your practice of confinement?"
Chen Ping asked this first before sharing the joy. Since she wanted to win back a victory, she naturally followed the same method.
"The special research has achieved certain results. I was just about to talk to Master about this." Chen Ping said after swallowing a Qi Gathering Pill.
Xiyue said quietly: "Hmm":
"Now that we have achieved certain results, we just happened to have a chat together. I also happened to have achieved some results, so I thought I'd come over and share the joy with you."
The words 'share the joy' sound like a storm.
But Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
Why is this word so familiar?
Xiyue secretly glanced at Chen Ping and was very satisfied to see a slightly startled expression on Chen Ping's face.
Of course, you still have to pretend to be neither happy nor sad on the surface. Before Chen Ping could interrupt, she took out the rune manuscript, which contained some of her experience records, and handed it to Chen Ping:
"I have learned the first level of the entire confinement technique. Now that there is the first step, we can look forward to the second step. I said that I will take you out of Canglan Grassland. This is the experience of practicing, you can Take it and comprehend it as much as you can to help me fight."
After saying that, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that Chen Ping didn't look very shocked, so he hesitated slightly.
After waiting for a while, Chen Ping was still not shocked. She couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you shocked?"
Chen Ping:......
Master.
How can you be so straightforward and beg to be shocked?
"It's quite shocking." Chen Ping responded, stood up and took a few silent notes:
"Actually, I have found a solution. From the current point of view, this method does not require completely destroying the restriction of the passage from the demon world to the human world. How about master assists my disciple to break the restriction this time?"
Chen Ping is still not sure whether to share this matter with Jiang Youwei, the guardians of the ancient pagoda.
This time was different from when he broke the formation in Luoyue City. Back then, Luoyue City was the headquarters of the Lingxiao Sect, and there were many channels to inquire about Wei Xun's character.
But it's different here.
The origin and background of everyone in the village is unclear. Chen Ping knew very little about the guardians of the ancient pagoda except for their names.
In other words, do these people really just want to get out of Canglan Grassland, or are they possibly spies of the demon clan who want to hide here and completely open the way?
Chen Ping couldn't judge these.
And these undeterminable things are likely to become uncontrollable factors when he breaks the ban.
Furthermore, the impact of breaking the ban this time is quite significant.
If the news that he broke the ban spreads to Canglan Grassland, how would the powerful people who banned him view this matter? Will they be killed as a warning to others?
This is also impossible to know.
Chen Ping himself was quite worried. But when breaking the ban, you need to concentrate on casting spells. This process is equivalent to exposing yourself to a very dangerous scene.
Once someone or a monster discovers and does harm to him, if there is no one to protect him. In this case, he is basically at the mercy of others.
This is a contradiction.
No matter what, there must be someone who protects the law.
Xiyue is the most suitable one.
In the entire Canglan Grassland, there was only one person he completely trusted.
So Chen Ping didn't hide anything.
It wasn't to interrupt Master's show off. Master is so cute, what’s wrong with showing off? It's reasonable to be arrogant. This is simply the time for a showdown.
"Have you found a way out of Canglan Grassland?" Xiyue smiled, with an expression of 'Really, I don't believe it'.
"Really." Chen Ping nodded.
"real?"
Chen Ping: ..."Absolutely true."
"Forget it, you may not believe it just by saying this. Wait, I will demonstrate it to you and you will know."
Chen Ping immediately stood up, drew out the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword and carved 108 runes into the air. While he was carving, he explained the important information.
Xiyue only thought it was Chen Ping's stubbornness at first, but the more she heard, the more shocked she became. She has spent countless efforts on this confinement technique over the years, and is naturally very familiar with this confinement technique.
At this moment, when she saw Chen Ping engraving the art of imprisonment and explaining the intricate branches, she immediately knew that this was the absolute essence of imprisonment.
After Chen Ping danced a not very complete set of confinement techniques, he put down the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword and saw Xiyue looking shocked.
I still feel it is necessary to explain:
"Master, there is no need to be shocked. This is not due to my disciple's unique talent. Rather, this sword contains a powerful sword intent. Master has seen this sword before. And the prison itself also has sword intent. It is probably this similarity that prompted me to find a loophole in the restriction in this regard."
It is necessary to explain it a little bit, after all, this is too shocking.
Xiyue has experienced the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword before and knows that it is a malfunctioning ancient treasure. She also knows that this sword may contain sword intent. Now, he just has the sword intention in his confinement.
Moreover, this sword intent is the key to breaking through the loophole of the Broken Arm's imprisonment.
Therefore, it is more or less reasonable to blame everything on this sword, and it is not pure nonsense.
Xiyue suppressed the shock on her face.
She didn't comment on Chen Ping's explanation. Taking a deep breath at this moment, what followed was the joy of being able to walk out of Canglan Grassland.
Heartfelt joy.
Who would want to stay in this hellish place if they didn't have to?
"You mean, as long as the sword intent in the confinement is allowed to escape, a loophole will appear in the confinement. And this loophole is the restriction that distorts the laws of heaven and earth?"
"As long as we can do this, we can restore the laws of heaven and earth in Canglan Grassland to normal?" Xiyue said happily.
Chen Ping nodded:
"Yes. By that time, Master has restored his cultivation to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. Isn't that just a matter of letting me live freely on the Canglan Grassland? Why worry about not being able to leave the Canglan Grassland?"
By the way, I took a photo of the rainbow fart.
"And the value of this severed arm is only to distort the laws of heaven and earth? In other words, what we do will not destroy the foundation of the overall imprisonment? The passage from the demon world to the human world is still stable?" Xiyue asked again.
"That's true. As for the deeper things that are imprisoned, I can't pry out anything due to my cultivation." Chen Ping nodded.
Xiyue's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but stretch out.
A soft light bloomed in her eyes.
Isn't this the best of both worlds she's always wanted to find?
As long as the channel confinement is not completely destroyed, even if there is a slight loophole, it will not be a big problem.
When she walks out of Canglan Grassland and brings back the news here, why worry about not having high-level monks coming to fix the loopholes?
She glanced at Chen Ping.
Although she didn't say anything about Chen Ping's explanation just now, she obviously didn't believe it all.
Nascent Soul and low-level monks can only obey the laws of heaven, or use the laws of heaven to act. Only monks who have transformed into gods have the opportunity to defy heaven and do things that are contrary to the laws of heaven, such as distorting the laws of heaven on the Canglan grassland and suppressing the cultivation of monks above Nascent Soul.
From this point of view, imprisonment will definitely not be simple.
How could it be possible to break through the confinement simply by having a powerful sword?
If the sword power alone could break the ban, then Canglan Grassland, which had been sealed for thousands of years, would have been broken long ago.
Chen Ping's sword intention is very strong, but it is only at the same level. Over the past thousands of years, haven't there been powerful sword cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Golden Core who have fallen here? there must be.
However, Chen Ping didn't even want to tell her how to find the original Lingshi mine, so she naturally didn't expect this apprentice to tell her everything.
I also understand that everyone has secrets.
The important thing is that we can really get out of Canglan Grassland.
"How can I... cooperate with you?" Xiyue asked consciously.
She looked at Chen Ping... Damn it, he had tricked him again this time... She felt a little itchy in her heart.
Originally this was a good opportunity for her to win back a victory, but she never thought that this man would be leading her on this trip to Canglan Grassland.
However, she is also a person who understands things clearly and knows that the role she needs to play at this moment is to cooperate with Chen Ping.
She didn't know whether Chen Ping's plan was definitely feasible.
But she's willing to give it a try.
"Now my sword intention is enough to resonate with the imprisonment of the ancient underground palace tower. But no matter how strong the sword intention is, I can't be too far away from the ancient underground palace tower when casting the spell. I need to get closer to the mysterious ruins and gradually try. This process may be very long. , Master needs to be able to block all possible enemies." Chen Ping looked at Xiyue.
Xiyue thought for a while and then said:
"When you cast the spell, will it arouse the vigilance of the old cultivator in the mysterious ruins whose face is as withered as a mummy?"
Chen Ping said from his heart:
"It's hard to say at first, but as the spell progresses, it seems inevitable."
The more proficient one is in the confinement technique, and the more familiar those branches and traps are, the less likely it is that other parts of the ancient tower's confinement will be affected during resonance, and the less likely they are to be discovered.
Chen Ping is still confident about this.
The problem lies in the second half of the cast.
When the resonance is strong enough, when the sword intent trapped in the ancient pagoda begins to escape, it will inevitably cause strange phenomena. This is inevitable.
At this stage, it was inevitable that the withered old man would sense it.
"Then I'm dead." Xiyue laughed at herself:
"The old man is in the late stage of Golden Core cultivation. If he is the only one here, I may be able to hold on for a while with some means, but there are still countless bat monsters under his command in the mysterious ruins. Ten of me, twenty of me can do it." Not dead enough.”
"Looking for some help?" Chen Ping asked uncertainly.
He didn't know how long the process of casting his spell would take. If it was short, maybe Xiyue could handle it by herself, but if it took longer, it would be exactly as Xiyue said.
Xiyue stood up and walked to the window, looked outside the quiet room, and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he finally said decisively:
"I can't believe those guardians of the ancient pagoda. I can't tell whether they have other plans here. We also don't know if there are any hidden demon cultivators here. Chi Liang can appear in the Western Wilderness, but there may not be one here. .”
"Once there is, we will be like inviting a wolf into the house, and the situation for you and me will be unimaginable."
This is actually what Chen Ping is worried about.
If there is really a demon spy, and it is determined that he and Xiyue have the talent to break the imprisonment, then before the laws of heaven are broken, they may be kidnapped and become their tools to open the passage.
Eventually death and dissolution are almost inevitable.
"What does Master want to do?" Chen Ping asked.
Xiyue’s eyes were firm:
"Just leave this matter to me, I will plan it. Just be prepared for breaking the ban."
Although this seemed difficult, Xiyue's tone gave people an unusually reassuring feeling, and Chen Ping subconsciously agreed:
"Okay. Actually, I have nothing to prepare. How much time does Master need to prepare?"
"Five days is enough."
"In that case, in five days, we will set off for the mysterious ruins."
"..."
Now that it was decided, Xiyue left quickly to make final preparations.
Before leaving, Xiyue asked Chen Ping for a lot of talismans such as the Golden Armor Talisman and the Evil Killing Talisman, and also took away all of Chen Ping's remaining raw spiritual stones.
After Xiyue left, Chen Ping sat down at the desk and took out the map he bought before the war.
This map only has detailed terrain and resource markings for hundreds of thousands of miles outside the village, while the areas farther away are much rougher.
On the map, there is a red dot marked 2 million miles away from the village.
That is the mysterious ruins.
From the village to the mysterious ruins, there is a winding line connecting the two.
That broken line was drawn by Chen Ping himself.
During the original battle, the teleportation array arranged by Jiang Youwei was arranged along this fold line, and Chen Ping deliberately remembered it at that time.
Now it comes in handy.
The teleportation array is not there, but those stopping points are pretty good.
Many years have passed, and most of those points have no longer attracted attention, and they can just be used as resting places during migration.
"Finally the most critical moment has arrived."
…
The five days were spent busy.
Mainly because Xiyue is busy, she rarely appears in the cave and spends most of her time running around outside.
Chen Ping used his last moment to once again comprehend some of the sword's meaning.
Wait until the fourth day and start packing your belongings.
Jade beds, futons, formations, animal skins, etc., all stuffed into storage bags.
In the evening of the fourth day.
When Xiyue came back, she brought back two female cultivators at the same time. Xiyue once mentioned this to Chen Ping and obtained Chen Ping's consent. These two female nuns are partners in this operation.
"I've met Daoist Fellow Chen. We are friends of Fellow Daoist Chen...Chen Qian..." Seeing Chen Ping come out, the two female cultivators bowed in greeting.
Um?
Chen Qian...fellow Taoist?
Chen Ping looked at Xiyue in confusion, and then heard Xiyue's message:
"Since we are cooperating with them, we must be somewhat sincere. I originally planned to tell you about my preparations last night, but when I came back, I saw that you were still comprehending the sword's meaning, so I didn't bother you. I'll talk to you later."
Chen Ping nodded:
"Please, two fellow Taoists, come in and talk."
He bowed his hands in return to the two female cultivators.
He knew both of these two female cultivators. One was named Nan Nan and had a fourth level of golden elixir. The other was named Zhu Caiyi and had a third level of golden elixir. It's just that we don't have much interaction or communication on weekdays.
"good."
