"Oh, by the way. There is another thing, I wonder if you already know about it." Kong Xuelin said.
"What's the matter?"
Tang Hao asked.
To be honest, he was used to being in seclusion and often turned a deaf ear to news from the outside world.
Maybe everyone knows something, but he doesn't know it.
"The sect is preparing to be promoted to the first rank!"
Kong Xuelin's eyes were bright and his voice was filled with excitement.
"First grade?"
Tang Hao's pupils shrank.
This is an earth-shattering event.
And in an instant, he also understood why the seven main veins were preparing to perform martial arts, and the sect was going to start the Qianlong Battle during this time!
It turned out to be to be promoted to the first rank!
In the world of cultivation, any force that wants to advance to the first rank needs to meet many conditions.
Take the Qianlong List as an example.
It should occupy at least one-third of it!
"Now, on the Qianlong Ranking, our sect's disciples occupy thirty-three places, which is considered to have reached the standard." Tang Hao said.
"Well, as for the Earth Ranking, that is what people at Master's level need to complete, and it has nothing to do with us." Kong Xuelin nodded.
"Once the sect is promoted, in the future this Lingtian State will be a single family and there will no longer be four major forces." Tang Hao said.
As the level increases, other surrounding forces will have to give up a lot of territory and resources.
For a long time.
The gap between them will only grow wider.
"I think the other three forces will not give up so easily and will definitely use all means to stop it."
Tang Hao said.
"Yes, but the higher-ups must have taken it into consideration. As the saying goes, if soldiers come to block it, if water comes, the soil will cover it. We will cope with it!"
Kong Xuelin seems to know more inside information.
Quite confident.
Seeing this, Tang Hao didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, his only focus now is on cultivation.
There is no need for him to care about other things.
"By the way, Senior Sister Kong, are you here today specifically to talk to me about these things?"
Tang Hao asked.
"That's one thing." Kong Xuelin patted his forehead, "There's another thing. Do you know a junior sister named Shen Xiaoxi?"
"Shen Xiaoxi."
Tang Hao was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect to hear this name from Kong Xuelin's mouth, but he still nodded, "Yes, what's wrong with her?"
"It's nothing. Even on the day you left Lingfeng, she came to see you, but you were not there at the time, so she asked me to deliver a letter to you."
Kong Xuelin said.
At the same time, he took out a light blue letter from the gift ring.
The appearance is complete.
Obviously it has not been opened.
Tang Hao reached out and took it.
This girl, what is this medicine for? It's so formal.
We are all in the same sect. If there is anything we can't discuss in person, we still have to write letters?
Although he was thinking this in his heart, for some reason, he saw the letter Kong Xuelin handed over.
For a moment, Tang Hao actually had a bad premonition.
"Okay, I've completed Junior Sister Shen's commission. Junior Brother Tang, you can see for yourself. I'll leave first."
Kong Xuelin smiled sweetly and said, "I'll see you again in a while." Then he left.
But the moment he turned around, his lips pursed slightly, and his expression became slightly complicated.
That Junior Sister Shen's appearance is not inferior to hers, and she doesn't know what the relationship is with Junior Brother Tang.
"Well, Senior Sister Kong, walk slowly."
Tang Hao said.
Senior Sister Kong is still very considerate.
Know how to give people space.
...
Tang Hao walked to the stone chair next to him and sat down slowly.
Then he opened the envelope.
Take out the letter paper.
Begin the first sentence.
"Seeing words is like meeting each other."
Followed by.
"Senior Brother Tang, I'm leaving."
"I can't tell you the specific reasons, but don't worry, no matter how different our paths may be in the future, you will still be the best senior brother and best friend in my heart."
"Don't read it."
Although the number of words is small, Tang Hao's hands are slightly tight.
What on earth is this girl going to do?
They have already entered the Xuantian Sect, and with their qualifications, they will definitely be valued by the sect in the future, which can be said to have a bright future.
"Shen Xiaoxi."
Tang Hao couldn't help but recall the first time he met him.
This girl looks like she has a story to tell, and she is not from Lingtian Prefecture.
Comes from Yuntian Prefecture, which is very far away.
There are also powerful sects in Yuntian State, so there is no need to travel so far.
Unless there is a compelling reason.
"Wait a minute, I have a friend list and I can check some basic information."
Tang Hao remembered this and quickly opened the panel.
[Friends: Niu Mang, Shen Xiaoxi, Qin Liang, Kong Xuelin, Guo Hu, Guo Qiang...]
Clicked on Shen Xiaoxi's profile picture.
Her relevant attribute information was immediately displayed.
Friend: Shen Xiaoxi
Race: Human race
Cultivation level: First level of sea-opening realm
Root bone: second grade
Comprehension: Superior
Talent: Qiaoling's Hand
Martial skills: "The First Chapter of the Supreme Holy Demonic Art of Controlling True Demons" (Introduction), "Seven Flying Blood Demon Swords" (Introduction), "Underworld Art" (Fourth Level)...
...
The previous properties are all normal.
But when he saw the martial arts skills, Tang Hao's eyes suddenly became serious.
These two martial arts skills.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like magic power.
Is Shen Xiaoxi cultivating demons?
Right.
It is forbidden to practice demon cultivation in the sect. Once found out, the consequences will be dire.
Since Shen Xiaoxi chose to cultivate demons, it is naturally impossible for her to stay here anymore.
But why does this girl want to cultivate demons?
Although the magic power is simple to practice and quite powerful, the side effects are very serious.
Maybe practice until the end.
Humanity and sanity will be completely lost.
Turn into a madman, a human demon.
"The devil's way."
Tang Hao shook his head slightly.
Xuantian Sect belongs to the Right Way, so he naturally belongs to this camp.
And this way.
He and Shen Xiaoxi were on opposite sides.
"I hope the magic skills this girl is practicing are relatively advanced."
Tang Hao's eyes fell on the name of the magic skill.
Magic skills are not always double-edged swords.
It is said that the higher the grade, the smaller the side effects.
And the name of this magic skill seems to be very powerful.
"The Supreme Holy Art of Controlling True Demons"?
This was the first time he had seen a technique with such a long name.
"It should be a very strong technique, otherwise that girl wouldn't be determined to cultivate demons."
Tang Hao felt that he had roughly guessed it.
Then he sighed softly.
Tang Hao turned off the panel.
Stand up slowly.
Standing with hands behind hands, looking at the sea of clouds in the distance.
Although he has made many good friends so far, there are only four people who are truly worthy of deep friendship.
Shen Xiaoxi, Kong Xuelin, and then the two Guo brothers.
As for Gu Yunxue, she is his Aunt Xue, so she cannot be considered a good friend.
"this is life."
Tang Hao's eyes moved slightly.
People will meet because of certain things, and they will be separated because of certain choices. In the end, they may forget each other and never see each other again.
This scene also echoed some words.
There are many divergent roads in life, from north to south. You go to Xiaoxiang and I go to Qin.
...
The edge of Tianling State.
The river surges and rolls eastward.
The big boat sailed on the river so fast that the scenery on both sides became blurred.
There was a man standing at the bow of the ship.
Holding a long sword, the tip of the sword weeps blood.
Behind him lay dozens of corpses.
The figure flicked the sword and turned around slowly.
If Tang Hao were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this is Shen Xiaoxi.
It's just Shen Xiaoxi at this moment.
There have been obvious changes.
The green clothes of the past have turned into black outfits.
Her hair was also tied into a ponytail.
The childishness on his face has almost disappeared, leaving only the heroic spirit and evil spirit.
She looked in the direction of Xuantian Sect.
A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
We say goodbye now, and I don’t know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.
"Don't worry, although you will definitely surpass him far in the future, that kid has high potential. He will definitely be able to leave Lingtian State and see a wider world."
"You will have a chance to meet."
An old voice sounded, comforting words.
Opening the sea is a turning point.
Once you arrive at Pihai, you can accept her ancient demon inheritance.
But at the same time, true energy will also turn into demonic energy.
This cannot be concealed.
So I can no longer stay in Xuantian Sect.
The only option is to leave.
"Master, does your magic power really not affect your mind?"
Shen Xiaoxi asked.
"certainly,"
The old voice was very confident, "How can the current magic skills be called magic skills? After a cursory glance, I saw that they are all inferior things and can only be called evil arts."
"Train yourself to the point where you are no longer a human being or a ghost."
"You may even end up becoming the slave of the heavenly demon and the earthly demon!"
"The perfect way to be inferior!"
The voice was very dismissive.
Nowadays, people's definition of demonic power is to imitate the cruel training methods of demons, or even gain strength through belief in powerful demons.
But the real magic power is not like this.
But to enslave the demons and control them!
Or directly devour their power and strengthen yourself!
How could he become a vassal of the demon clan?
"I still remember that several generations of demon lords, after they had perfected their true demon skills, would personally visit the demon abyss, detain the demons, and devour the sky and the earth!"
"Although the first chapter is a bit difficult, I can barely swallow demons and become stronger." The old voice said, "In today's era, although the human race is the master of the world, the demon race and the monster race have not been wiped out. It is like a first-class sect. There will always be a demon abyss or a demon king inside the door."
"With the help of my master, you can sneak in."
Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxi tightened her hands slightly, and a hint of determination appeared in her eyes.
Staying in Xuantian Sect, although the future achievements will definitely be good, it is still not enough. The one who destroyed his family is far better than Xuantian Sect.
"Actually, this Xuantian Sect is not simple either."
The old voice suddenly pondered for a while.
"Um?"
Shen Xiaoxi was a little surprised.
Xuantian Sect is only a second-grade sect.
Nothing is simple.
"A month ago, I finished devouring the soul fruit you found. My soul power increased greatly, and I can now use many secret techniques."
"But the moment I cast it, I felt a strong palpitation in my heart."
"There seems to be something extraordinary deep within the Xuantian Sect." The old voice said, "And this is another reason why I want to leave. The water in this sect is not as shallow as it appears on the surface."
"Is that so?"
Shen Xiaoxi nodded.
This was the first time she heard Master say this.
But it doesn't matter.
She has left, and what happens to Xuantian Sect has nothing to do with her.
Except Senior Brother Tang.
Sheathing the sword, Shen Xiaoxi turned around.
These people behind him are probably bandits, disguised as boatmen.
It's a pity that I met her.
"Desolate tribe!"
Shen Xiaoxi looked into the distance, with murderous intent in her eyes.
...
"If possible, you can go find out what this magic power is."
Tang Hao withdrew his gaze.
If you can't find it in the sect.
Then Wanxiang Pavilion should be fine.
After all, Kong Xuelin said that this force is extremely well-informed and can even be called a know-it-all!
Without thinking any more, Tang Hao turned around and walked into the attic.
It’s time to continue practicing.
...
Soon, a month passed.
It can be said that there is a turmoil in the sect.
After all, everyone knew that the sect was preparing for promotion.
Everyone is very excited and looking forward to it.
But soon, bad news came.
That is, Yangyan Valley also occupies more than thirty places.
It formed a balance of power with Xuantian Sect.
In addition, a dark horse was killed.
The Lingju Sect, which seemed quite quiet on weekdays, unexpectedly made a sudden appearance and won more than thirty places.
Only the Nie family in Yuntian City.
It seems that he has completely hit rock bottom, with only one person left on the list.
To this.
Many people have other opinions.
I feel like this is a conspiracy against my sect!
The Qianlong List is no child’s play.
How could the change be so exaggerated?
Moreover, the Nie family of Yuntian City is also one of the four major forces, so they will not be beaten to the point where only one person is left on the Hidden Dragon List.
Nothing looks right no matter how you look at it.
"I heard from the people above that our sect has already won the battle for the land list."
"Now all that's left is the Hidden Dragon List."
"Originally, with more than 30 numbers, we already had a clear advantage and were considered a winner. However, the sudden rise of Yangyan Valley and Lingjumen directly wiped out this advantage and returned to a balance of power."
In the sect, many people were discussing.
Promotion in any force is difficult.
Especially the first-grade promotion.
All conditions must be met.
Indispensable.
This is the rule set by the Supreme Holy Land.
"In other words, this is the merger of the other three forces, and it is done deliberately. As long as the Xuantian Sect does not gain advantage in the Qianlong Ranking, it will never be able to rise up."
"Lingtian Prefecture will still be in its original situation, standing on all four legs!"
Everyone was stunned.
"How abominable!"
"So bad, these people!"
Some simple female disciples said bitterly.
"Now what?"
"The Hidden Dragon List should be our limit, and we can't occupy more."
"Is my sect's promotion going to fail like this?"
"It's not clear yet, but there should be a way to deal with it."
"..."
No matter how lively it was outside, Tang Hao still moved forward in an orderly manner according to his plan.
In the attic.
Incense curls up.
At a certain moment, Tang Hao, who was sitting cross-legged and practicing, suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of divine light in his eyes.
It is clear that his cultivation has improved again.
And it's greatly improved.
The seventh level of the sea-opening realm!
In one month, he has been promoted to the third level in a row. This speed is not unpleasant.
You must know that this is not the first time, it is already the middle and late stages.
"The speed of cultivation is not slow...but...there is only half a month left before the martial arts performance of the seven main veins. It may be a bit difficult to break through to the realm of creation."
Tang Hao couldn't help but think in his heart.
