Two decades later,
On the grassland.
Blood Ink Jade · Round Dance!
The blood-black divine light contained in the sword blade pulled out a piece of ink in the air.
Compared with the first time, Xu Yuan's mastery of this terrifying sword skill has obviously improved several levels, but it is a pity that this time Xu Yuan could not even touch the corner of Tian Yan's clothes.
With the word "instant", he teleported directly to more than 20 meters away, and Xu Yuan's sword skill cut directly into the air.
The girl stood in mid-air, watching the heart-stopping sword marks gradually disappear into the air, gently shook her head, and said with a smile:
"You idiot, don't use this trick on me again. It's useless."
Xu Yuan held the sword with a hint of helplessness on his face.
Just like what Saint Remnant Soul said to him before, cultivation level cannot determine everything, intelligence and fighting ability can affect the outcome of a battle.
No one is a fool, let alone Tian Yan.
Xu Yuan can give the protagonist a hard blow at the end of the card's invincibility frame, and others can naturally do the same.
The starting move of Treading the Void Slash is really too obvious, and the initial kill is indeed very strong. If you are familiar with this move, the threat will plummet.
But this hand gesture plays a guiding role in Taoxu Slash, just like Tian Yan's previous use of Tian Zi Mantra requires sealing. Xu Yuan cannot make up for this shortcoming for the time being.
Falling slowly from mid-air to the ground,
Tian Yanyu stepped lightly on the lawn and glanced at Xu Yuan:
"You've made some progress today. At least you can control the movements of your moves. I see you still have some energy left. Do you want to continue?"
Xu Yuan shook his head when he heard this:
"No, let's go back today to do some exercise and restore energy. If we continue, it will affect tomorrow's training."
Unlike the first time he used Blood Ink Jade Round Dance, at this moment he was able to roughly control the power of this sword skill.
For the first time, Xu Yuan directly used up all his source energy in order to strike out with that sword, and the result was obvious, with a lot of power overflowing.
The power of a secret combat skill is naturally not fixed like in the game. The amount of source energy delivered will affect its power.
Given the power of the Blood Ink Jade Sword Technique, if used properly, only one-fifth or even one-sixth of the source energy can be used to kill a third-grade person. There is no need to use up all the source energy moves at once.
This is what Tian Yan taught him.
A true third-level expert can accurately control every trace of energy in his body, but Xu Yuan now wastes a lot of it every time he fights, at least half of it.
But now he is sparring with Tian Yan and is trying to solve this problem.
When Tian Yan heard this, he asked:
"You just do Qigong exercises every day to heal your injuries, but don't practice breathing in and out?"
Xu Yuan shrugged upon hearing this and did not hide anything:
"My body's cultivation is growing on its own every day, so I don't need to practice."
"What?" Tian Yan's eyes were strange.
Xu Yuan shrugged: "It's probably because of Jinghe's body. It's synchronizing with his cultivation ten thousand years ago. Otherwise, I wouldn't have so much free time to do other things every day."
Tian Yan frowned when he heard this, then raised the corners of his lips and chuckled:
"It's good. Your cultivation level is almost at the peak of the third level now. Maybe you can directly break through the second level in the future. This is a good thing for us."
Xu Yuan straightened his clothes and replied with a smile:
"You can do it too, but it's a pity that you have your own body."
Tian Yan snorted lightly, looking very disdainful:
"I don't need this thing. If it were someone else's physique, my Heaven-Evolving Technique wouldn't be able to be used at all."
When Xu Yuan heard this, he glanced in the direction of the main peak of Qionghua:
"By the way, Bai Fan and the others don't seem to remember what technique you practice."
These days, this group of dandies often come to see them.
We travel to the mountains and rivers, go hunting together, and also go to the martial arts field to practice with them.
In order to avoid exposing his combat power, Xu Yuan had always kept a distance from the latter on the pretext of practicing secret arts, but Tian Yan often passed by.
Bai Fan and others had no doubts about the way she used Yan Tian Jue to fight against the enemy.
Tian Yan pondered slightly and said in a low voice:
"This Yuchu's identity has been destroyed by me, and the details about her identity will naturally be erased directly."
Xu Yuan shook his head gently:
"Okay, let's go back first."
Just as he was saying,
Xu Yuan saw Tian Yan in front of him suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and raised his head to look at the sky in the distance.
When he asked, Xu Yuan also sensed a wave of source energy coming from the distance.
Then he poured Yuan Qi into his eyes, raised his eyes, and saw two people flying towards the main peak in mid-air.
The distance is a bit far, the two's escape speed is not very fast, and their cultivation cannot be clearly seen, but they can fly in the air, so they must not be weak at all.
An old man and a young man, Xu Yuan, the old man, knew him as a law enforcement elder in the Criminal Palace, but Xu Yuan, the young man next to him, had never seen him before.
With her hair disheveled, she was wearing a loose white robe, with a cloth bag slung on her back and a faint blue embroidered spring knife in her hand, looking free and uninhibited.
Stared for a while,
Xu Yuan remembered what sect the man in white was wearing, and he had not been reading his books in vain these days.
Taiqing Taoist Palace.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Yuan looked at Tian Yan:
"This person seems to be from Taiqing Taoist Palace."
Tian Yan also withdrew his gaze:
"Ok, I know."
"What are the people from Taiqing Dao Palace doing here at this time?" Xu Yuan said with a hint of thought in his tone.
The strength of the Qionghua Sect, which has not yet obtained the Charming Sakura Tree, has not reached its peak. At best, it can only be regarded as a corner, and its strength is far less than when it was destroyed.
But today Taiqing Taoist Palace is the second largest sect in the world.
At this point in time, what do the people from Taiqing Dao Palace want to do when they come to Qionghua Realm?
Tian Yan shook his head and smiled slightly:
"Rather than what they are here for, I am more curious about the world beyond the Qionghua Realm in this fantasy realm."
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
Qionghua Realm is very large. Although it is not as wide and huge as before entering the illusion, it is still one-fifth of the size before entering the illusion.
Maintaining an illusion of this scale is already extremely terrifying, but if there is also an illusion space outside Qionghua, they may just leave and avoid being trained into the Charming God Sakura and the Leech King.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan shook his head slightly:
"It's useless to think about this. The source of the illusion you mentioned is most likely the Qionghua Realm. Even if we go out, we will have to come back sooner or later."
Tian Yan looked at the sky with beautiful eyes and sighed slightly:
"The illusion here is really weird"
"It's really weird. Find a way out quickly." Xu Yuandao said, "I don't want to stay here with you for the rest of my life."
"Haha." Tian Yan rolled his eyes at him.
The arrival of the young hero from Taiqing Taoist Palace did not affect Xu Yuan and Tian Yan's daily life. It would be better to say that they had never been to the main peak of Qionghua these days. They had always lived in the grassland, two points and one line.
About four or five days later,
Master bedroom wing,
Tian Yan was sitting cross-legged on the big bed, breathing and practicing quietly. The only sound in the room was the rustling of Xu Yuan flipping through papers from time to time.
suddenly,
"clang--"
A melodious bell sounded from the top of Qionghua's main peak, startling flying birds from near to far, and spread throughout the Qionghua Mountains, echoing endlessly.
Xu Yuan's eyes froze while he was reading. He placed the classics in his hands on the red sandalwood table and immediately frowned.
Tian Yan was silent for a few breaths and stopped the operation of his technique.
They looked at each other speechlessly, their eyes a little solemn.
The Tianqiong Bell on the main peak of Qionghua will only be rung on important days or events of the Qionghua Sect.
Depending on the importance of the event or day, the number of bells will continue to ring.
One, three, six, nine, thirteen.
The melodious ringing of the bell continued, and silence gradually spread in the room.
Three times.
The Tianqiong bell was rung three times, and according to the sect's etiquette, the saint's crowning ceremony was also rung three times.
Tian Yan jumped out of bed expressionlessly, straightened his clothes, and whispered:
"let's go."
No matter how many times the Tianqiong Bell is struck, as soon as it rings, the core disciples of the Qionghua Sect have to gather at the Qionghua Hall.
Xu Yuan thought for a while, then stood up and whispered;
"It shouldn't be the Saintess' crowning ceremony."
"Why?" Tian Yan was obviously in a bad mood and glanced at him: "The Saint of Qionghua Sect was directly determined by the sect leaders and elders, and she was not selected."
Xu Yuan shook his head gently and whispered:
"Judging from your previous cultivation and talents before Yuchu, you are not in the position of a Saint. You have not reported your breakthrough to the third level. Even if you want to be admitted, you must at least convince the public."
Jinghe is twenty-five years old and at the peak of the third rank.
And Yuchu was also twenty-three years old, but he was only a fourth-grade fusion body.
Although this kind of cultivation is rare in Qionghua Sect, it is not extraordinary.
Tian Yan's beautiful eyes flickered for a moment, and he exhaled a long breath:
"Then what do you think is going on?"
The Tianqiong Bell will be struck three times during the saintly crowning ceremony, but ringing the Tianqiong Bell three times does not necessarily mean that it is the saintly crowning ceremony.
When important visitors enter the territory, the Qionghua Sect will ring the Tianqiong Bell to show their importance as a courtesy.
Xu Yuan thought for a long time and whispered:
"I feel it has something to do with the young disciple from Taiqing Taoist Palace who arrived these days."
Tian Yan frowned:
"Even the chief disciple of Taiqing Taoist Palace would not be able to use such etiquette."
Xu Yuan shrugged:
"Then I don't know. Let's talk about it in the past. Maybe there will be elders visiting again in the past few days."
Tian Yan breathed out lightly and nodded.
After saying that, the two pushed out the door and flew directly towards the Qionghua Palace.
Half an hour,
Qionghua Hall is located at the top of the main peak of Qionghua. It is surrounded by a towering palace wall made of white jade bricks. It is surrounded by lush woods and misty clouds. There is only a straight climbing ladder leading to the gate of the palace wall.
Due to the long distance, Xu Yuan and Tian Yan arrived a little late.
At this moment, the main entrance to the tall palace wall outside Qionghua Palace has been closed. If you want to go in, you have to go through the side door.
However, as soon as he walked in, Xu Yuan still sensed a sharp energy fluctuation coming from inside, even though he was restricted by a palace wall.
Is this someone trying to fight in there?
This huge flat square is built under the steps in front of Qionghua Hall. Every year, the core disciples' sect meeting is held in this square.
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes when he thought of this.
Then the men from Taiqing Dao Palace came to Qionghua Sect to compete?
There was a slight doubt in their hearts, but without words, the inner disciple on duty helped open the side door of the palace, and the two of them stepped in directly.
“Buzz!!!!”
After the loud sound of the sword, the powerful Qi Ji almost enveloped the huge competition venue.
As expected, a competition was going on in front of Qionghua Palace.
Qionghua Zong faced Taiqing Taoist Palace,
The dandy big brother, Senior Brother Li, faced off against that careless man in white robe.
But he also admitted that he was a little frightened by what he saw.
because,
After the sound of the sword,
Senior Brother Li's head was chopped off directly by the lazy young man.
After falling to the ground,
It spun around for several times before it finally came to a stop. Red blood seeped out from under the separated corpses, making it particularly dazzling on the ground made of white jade bricks.
Senior Brother Li's cultivation level is only at the third level, and he cannot yet achieve rebirth with a drop of blood.
he died.
Xu Yuan felt a little ridiculous.
He actually had a very good impression of Senior Brother Li.
In the past few months, he would come to visit him and Tian Yan from time to time, delivering some precious elixirs that could heal injuries or help with cultivation.
In Senior Brother Li's opinion, among the group of them, only the younger brother Xu Yuan and the younger sister Tian Yan do not have elders to take care of them, so he, the big brother, has to take on this responsibility.
But now, he was directly beheaded.
In the most important sect of Qionghua Sect,
In front of the palace gate of Qionghua Palace,
In front of a group of sect elders.
what's the situation?
The entire Qionghua Palace was completely silent, except for the soft sound of blood gurgling out of Senior Brother Li's body.
With a hint of confusion, Xu Yuan glanced at the dark-faced sect elders at the edge of the field, raised his head and looked along the steps leading up to the entrance of Qionghua Hall.
over there,
He saw an old man with a slightly aged face standing quietly at the gate of the palace.
This old man is Bai Fan's father and the head of Qionghua Sect.
Secretly Xu Yuan didn't know, but on the surface this old man was the only strong saint in Qionghua Sect today.
He... just watched Senior Brother Li be beheaded?
Why didn't you stop it?
When Xu Changge went to the Tianyuan Competition to kill people, the elders of the sect in later generations knew how to stop him.
You, a saint and a strong man, just watch helplessly as your important descendant is beheaded by outsiders in your own backyard?
The leader of the Qionghua Sect also seemed to notice Xu Yuan's gaze, but remained silent for a few breaths, but just shook his head gently at him with lonely eyes.
But the next moment,
Xu Yuan saw the leader of the Qionghua Sect turning his eyes slightly and calmly saying something through a voice to the person beside him.
Only then did Xu Yuan notice that there was another person standing next to Sect Master Qionghua.
This is a young man in a long-sleeved black robe.
He was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, rich and handsome, and there was a faint golden light flowing in the narrow eyes, but his expression was indifferent.
Xu Yuan frowned slightly.
This young man's cultivation level should only be around the third level. Why can he stand next to the Qionghua Sect Master?
Moreover, the powerful saint who was the leader of the sect also treated him as an equal.
Doubts kept rising in his heart, but the girl next to him suddenly reached out and held him.
Feel the warmth from her slender fingertips,
Xu Yuan looked sideways and heard her voice ringing in his heart:
"It's probably because the story about Charming God Sakura has been leaked. These powerful sects have joined forces to get a share of the pie. They are probably engaged in a gambling battle now."
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and was about to send a message, but Tian Yan said first:
"Don't transmit the sound. The guy on the steps might be able to hear you."
ah?
Xu Yuan looked at Tian Yan with a hint of surprise.
Tian Yan did not look at him, but stared at the golden-eyed young man in front of the palace with a pair of golden eyes, his voice was full of interest:
"He is the Holy Son of Jiantian Pavilion of this era."
Two in one, finally on time today
