It has been five years since I returned from Dingxian City.
In these five years, Zhao Shun did not leave the sect, but stayed in the sect to practice hard. At the same time, he carefully studied what Gu Jiu had noticed and the old seal script documents. Therefore, there was some slight improvement in all aspects, which can be comforted.
But she also gradually realized that after entering the realm of Fenxuan, practice was no longer what it used to be, and the results could be seen in just a year and a half. Taking the past five years as an example, she has been practicing diligently every day, but she has never reached the threshold of the middle stage. Although she knows that the light of Dharma has accumulated over time, she occasionally feels like a cow sinking into the sea.
There are such clues in just Fenxuan. It is no wonder that the strong men in deeper realms have been in retreat for a hundred and eighty years.
Thinking about it carefully, I said goodbye to Xie Jing before leaving the sect that day. In the past five years, I had heard very little about her. Now that I heard about her, she had already achieved the status of external transformation.
She was also relieved in her heart and hurriedly returned to the cave with her sword. When she entered the palace, she quickly wrote a congratulatory letter and handed it to her subordinates to pass it on to the Yixuan Sword Sect for collection.
When Xie Jing replied, it was already half a month later.
It stands to reason that when a monk becomes a monk, it also means that the powerful people in the world will have their own names from now on. Therefore, whether they are in the sect or a casual cultivator, they will tell the world and hold a thousand-year banquet to celebrate. Xie Jing is well-known as the great elder of the Yi Xuan Sword Sect. I am afraid that many people are looking forward to her Qianqiu Banquet.
However, after waiting and waiting, I finally got something from the mouth of a disciple of Yi Xuan: "The Great Elder has other important matters and it is inconvenient to host a banquet, so the sect has postponed the Qianqiu Banquet and will wait for another day."
What is the important matter that makes Xie Jing ignore important matters such as the Qianqiu Banquet?
It was not that Zhao Chun had never been suspicious, so after receiving Xie Jing's reply, he immediately informed the rest of the cave family that she was leaving for the Yixuan Sword Sect.
When I saw Xie Jing again, it happened to be one month apart from the day I replied to the letter.
It's not that Zhao Chun is slow. After all, there are formations connecting the giant cities, making it very convenient to come and go. The reason why he hasn't been seen for a whole month is actually because Xie Jing is not in the sect and Zhao Chun has been waiting for a month. Return in a hurry.
The inviter asked the visitor to wait. Xie Jing also felt embarrassed. As soon as he returned to the clan, he hurriedly invited Zhao Xuan to see him in the cave. He said with a smile: "I have been delayed for a long time outside, so I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Zhao Shun shook his head and didn't care much: "Everywhere is practice. Senior's words are serious."
Knowing that she was not a fussy person, Xie Jing reached out to the big chair and said, "In that case, sit down first."
"To be honest, I have been severely injured in the past few years. I have only gotten better in the past few days. I am mostly recovered, so I won't hold the Qianqiu Banquet at all. When I have free time in the future, I will write a special invitation. Send it to Zhaoyan." Xie Jing said half-jokingly.
Although he behaves casually, what can be called a serious injury must be a life-and-death crisis. Zhao Chun looked at her. Even though she had achieved a breakthrough and achieved immortality not long ago, her complexion was still pale. He knew that this level of difficulty was extremely difficult and dangerous, and it almost cost Xie Jing her life!
You must know that before the true infant can externalize, it must go through six or nine heavenly tribulations. The thunder punishments are one after another, and one is more miserable. If you are not careful, the body will die and the soul will disappear. Therefore, monks all over the world must prepare in advance to cope with the first half of the thunder tribulation. In addition to external objects, you need to adjust your breath and rest your mind to stabilize yourself in a state of peak strength, so as to withstand the second half of the thunderstorm.
Like Xie Jing, forcing someone to survive a calamity despite being injured is tantamount to seeking death!
But she still did it, which only shows that the severe injuries she said put her in a situation where she would die if she didn't become a respectable person.
Whichever was better between the two made Xie Jing choose to escape the disaster and break through.
"It's good that there is a possibility of recovery now," Zhao Shun looked solemn, not daring to imagine how the situation in the world would change if Xie Jing died in the wilderness. What's more, Xie Jing and she had a deep friendship, both public and private. This is not the result she wants to see, "Senior called me here, but if there is any need, Zhao Chun must do his best."
Hearing this, Xie Jing laughed heartily and waved his hands quickly: "Don't worry too much. The critical moment has been passed. I have my own plans for the rest of the matter. I'm calling you here for another matter."
She paused, took out a roll of cowhide pictures from her sleeve, and spread it on the table between the two of them: "It's not quite right to say it's another matter. I suffered a big loss this time because I was so reckless. Something to do with that.”
Seeing Zhao Shun leaning forward, Xie Jing pointed his index finger at the picture and said, "I told you the other day that I went into the wilderness this time to explore the traces of the evil cultivator. Although I found it, I almost missed it. Just lost my life.
"Look at this place. It is located in the southeast of the wilderness. It can be reached by crossing the sea and walking in three to five days with Zhenying's footsteps. The locals call it the Wishbone Rift Valley. It is considered to be the area of influence of evil cultivators. On the edge of the world, the famous sect Tiantong Sect entrenched in it, and the leader of Tiantong Sect, Old Man Tiantong, was the soul cultivator who rescued the two people from Tianjian Terrace that day!
"I caught a few evil cultivators and found out that the Tiantong Sect was once prominent among the evil cultivators in the wilderness. However, after the death of the previous leader, the strength of its two disciples was inferior to the others, so it was difficult to gain a foothold. The Tong Sect also gradually moved out of the central area and came to the Cross Arm Rift Valley."
"And the person you mentioned is also among them." Xie Jingyu glanced at her and frowned, "I saw her wandering outside, and I wanted to catch her. I rashly stepped forward, but I fell into the trap of the thief and was slowed down by a trick. The stagnant formation method hit him and he was almost trapped in the formation.
"After that, I wanted to run away immediately, but that person had already joined forces with Tiantong and wanted to capture me alive. Tiantong is a monk in the external transformation stage, so I couldn't defeat him. Fortunately, I had the sect's treasures to protect me. It’s the moment someone rushes to help.”
She didn't say who the person who offered her help was, so Zhao Chun couldn't ask in detail. He solemnly said, "I'm afraid that after this incident, the evil cultivators will be more cautious."
Xie Jing sighed lightly and nodded again, agreeing with Zhao Chun's words.
"Now that I have achieved externalization, if I fight with Tiantong again, I am sure of victory. But he also knows this, and we don't know whether he will sit still and wait for death." She looked at Zhao Xun and said with a smile, "You want to To kill that autumn silhouette, I want to get rid of Tiantong, so I have to go there no matter what.
"For this matter, I specially invited a friend to help me. She can use secret techniques to gather the monks together and trap them in one place. In this way, I am not afraid of Tiantong asking for another helper, but I don't know who you are facing. , what are the chances of winning?"
At Fenxuan's level of cultivation, the gap between small realms is not small. Even with sword intent, Zhao Chun dare not say that he can kill Qiu Yingying across multiple small realms.
"Even if it's even 10 out of 12, we still have to fight," she thought for a while and replied, "She practiced many years before me, and now she is practicing evil practices. I'm afraid if I wait any longer, I'll have to wait for her. There is news about the breakthrough and reunion, and it will not be good for me to delay it like this."
Zhao Chun inquired again and found out that he would not have to go to the wilderness right away, but would have to wait for March or May, when all Xie Jing had recovered. He then said: "In that case, I can return to the sect first and find a doctor." The magical powers and secret techniques that I need to use can also increase my confidence a little bit."
