Huayan Pool.
When Xiao Zhan woke up, he found himself sitting cross-legged on the stone platform at the bottom of the pool.
The densely packed runes on the stone platform are releasing magical energy.
Xiao Zhan could feel that this was a very high-level exercise called "Huayan Divine Art", and the level of mystery was beyond Xiao Zhan's cognition.
After confirming that the piece of "Huayan Divine Jue" had been imprinted in his mind, Xiao Zhan turned to look at the Huayan Sword inserted next to him.
The voice of the sword spirit immediately sounded:
"You have good perseverance."
Xiao Zhan exhaled a breath and looked through the water at Elder Hei, who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of Huayan Pond.
Sword Spirit chuckled:
"Don't be nervous, he can't hear our conversation."
"I won't tell anyone about you coming from the second-level world."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face turned pale.
Xiao Zhan was not surprised that Sword Spirit could see his true identity.
"Senior Sword Spirit, what's next?"
Xiao Zhan asked this because he did not think that the sword spirit would choose to recognize him as the master.
After all, this is a chaotic world, and there are people who are better than you everywhere.
The sword spirit chuckled lightly:
"It's not like your character to belittle yourself."
"Where is the perseverance that you and this Sword Spirit shared?"
Xiao Zhan remained silent and did not answer.
"Relax your mind and start refining the Huayan Sword."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhan was briefly surprised, then began to release his own energy to wrap the Huayan Sword, and then began to refine the restrictions in it.
The voices of the sword spirits sounded at the same time:
"The Huayan Sword has a total of ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine levels of restrictions."
"As long as you refine the first ninety-nine levels of restrictions, you can take the Huayan Sword out of the Huayan Pool and put it into the second-level world in your body to slowly refine it."
"I did it on purpose. It will take you about three months to refine the initial ninety-nine levels of restraint."
"Don't be impatient, this..."
The voice of the sword spirit stopped suddenly.
Because Xiao Zhan had already waved his hand and put the Huayan Sword into the secondary world within his body.
"Senior Qi Ling, a strong man from the Huayan Sect, will you agree to let me carry the Huayan Sword with me?"
"Since senior knows that I come from the second-level world, why don't you kill me?"
Sword Spirit chuckled:
"I'm not a human being, and I have no prejudice against the creatures from your second-level world."
"However, you cannot reveal your identity in front of other members of the Huayan Sect."
Xiao Zhan nodded and rushed out of Huayan Pond in a flash.
The most important thing for him now is to continue to refine the restraints of the Huayan Sword while practicing the "Huayan Divine Art" to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
Of course, Xiao Zhan also knows very well that there are many old monsters in the chaotic world that have lived for millions, or even tens of millions of years.
He would not think that if he practiced hard for decades or hundreds of years, he would be able to compete with those truly powerful people.
The moment Xiao Zhan rushed out of Huayan Pond, Elder Hei opened his eyes.
He looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile on his face:
"The lord of the sect has already arrived and said that after you wake up, he will take you to see the lord of the sect."
Xiao Zhan exhaled a breath, nodded and said:
"Then Elder Laohei will take me to see the sect master."
Elder Hei put his hands behind his back and said with a smile. He turned around and led Xiao Zhan forward, saying with a smile:
"Those nine of your friends have been arranged to enter the sect and are now outer disciples of our Huayan Sect."
"You can be assured."
Xiao Zhan thanked him again and asked no more questions.
A moment later, Elder Hei and Xiao Zhan landed in front of a huge palace on the top of the mountain.
Huayan Hall is the core place of Huayan Sect, where the sect leader usually lives.
In the past, many elders often came to Huayan Hall to report matters, but today there was no one.
Elder Hei led Xiao Zhan to the entrance of the hall, and then said to Xiao Zhan:
"You just wait here for the sect master, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Elder Hei's figure flashed and turned into a stream of light and flew away.
About three seconds later, Xiao Zhan saw a figure walking out of the room next to him.
This person is Liu Qingfeng, the current leader of the Huayan Sect.
Liu Qingfeng was currently wearing a black robe embroidered with gold silk and auspicious cloud patterns. His face was calm and majestic, and he felt a sense of oppression.
Xiao Zhan cupped his fists and said:
"I've met the sect leader."
Liu Qingfeng smiled and nodded. After sitting down, he pointed to the chair next to Xiao Zhan.
"Let's sit down and talk."
Xiao Zhan didn't show any pretense and sat down directly on the chair.
"Girl Ruyan, she is my granddaughter."
Xiao Zhan's face was calm, but he was a little surprised in his heart.
He had never thought that Liu Ruyan would be the granddaughter of the sect master.
No wonder the black elder would let him conduct the test alone for the sake of Liu Ruyan.
Moreover, this lord of the sect is at least two to three million years old, right? How old is Liu Ruyan? Ten thousand years old?
Liu Qingfeng smiled and continued:
"I heard that you and Ruyan girl teamed up to go to the Manyue Mountains some time ago."
"That girl Ruyan is really annoying."
"But she is still very warm-hearted. If you have anything to do in the future, you can ask Yunyan girl to give you advice."
Xiao Zhan nodded, thanked him and fell silent again, not taking the initiative to say anything more.
Liu Qingfeng also became serious at this time and said straight to the point:
"The Huayan Sword is a magical weapon crafted by the ancestors of my Liu family."
"Since you can make Huayan Sword recognize its master, I will definitely do my best to train you."
"But in order to avoid causing trouble, apart from Elder Hei and you and me, no fourth person can know about this matter."
Xiao Zhan nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Sect Master, I know what's going on."
Liu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction:
"I have arranged a separate place for you. You can go there in a moment."
"From now on, I will teach you once every half month. You can watch my lecture through the disciple ID badge."
Xiao Zhan looked solemn:
"Thank you, Master."
Liu Qingfeng frowned slightly:
"You don't want to become my teacher?"
Xiao Zhan was silent for two seconds.
No matter in terms of strength or age, Liu Qingfeng was more than qualified to be his master as Xiao Zhan. It could be said that this was a great opportunity.
But Xiao Zhan knew his identity very well.
If one day, he is a person from the second-level world, and this matter is exposed, it will inevitably implicate the Huayan Sect and its leader Liu Qingfeng.
Moreover, Xiao Zhan didn't know Liu Qingfeng's attitude.
If he becomes his master, he might discover his secret.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan did not deliberately conceal it or tell the truth, but said in a deep voice:
"Sect Master, it's not that I don't want to become a disciple."
"I have some difficulties and secrets that prevent me from becoming a disciple. Please forgive me, Lord."
When Liu Qingfeng heard this, his eyes suddenly turned sharp:
"You already have a master?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head:
"No."
Liu Qingfeng asked again:
"Are you planning to leave Huayan Sect?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head again:
"There is no such plan."
Liu Qingfeng's expression softened a little:
「
In this case, it doesn't matter whether you want to become a disciple or not. "
"As I said, I will teach you every half a month."
Xiao Zhan cupped his fists again to say thanks.
At this time, Liu Qingfeng handed Xiao Zhan a golden disciple token and warned:
"On the surface, you are still just an ordinary disciple of our Huayan Sect, but you must reduce the number of times you appear in front of other disciples and elders."
"Don't take out this golden token unless absolutely necessary. As long as the elders of our Huayan Sect see this token, they will know that I gave it to you."
Xiao Zhan nodded, put away the golden token, and turned around to leave Huayan Hall.
Not long after, Xiao Zhan arrived at the residence Liu Qingfeng had prepared for him.
This is a very pure mountain peak within the Huayan Sect. Less than a thousand meters to the left is the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. The most recently inhabited mountain is also a thousand meters away.
Moreover, halfway up the mountain, there is a clean courtyard, shrouded under the canopy of a big tree. This courtyard cannot be seen from a distance.
At this time, the sun was just right. Xiao Zhan tidied up a little, sat down cross-legged in the yard, and began to try to practice the "Huayan Divine Jue" he had just obtained.
In the next half month, no one bothered Xiao Zhan.
He took out his disciple identification card, and after a while, he began to listen to the lecture given to him by the sect leader Liu Qingfeng.
The Huayan Sect's most powerful weapon, the Huayan Sword, and the most powerful technique, the "Huayan Divine Art", are both in Xiao Zhan's body.
Liu Qingfeng had no doubt that as long as Xiao Zhan could grow up, he would be able to lead the Huayan Sect to new heights.
The time comes half a year later.
No one knows Xiao Zhan's specific strength now.
Even Liu Qingfeng didn't know how far Xiao Zhan had controlled Huayan Sword.
In fact, "Hua Yan Shen Jue" is indeed a very profound skill. Even if Xiao Zhan's understanding ability is extraordinary, he is just getting started.
The restraints of the Huayan Sword have been refined by Xiao Zhan for more than two thousand levels.
After leaving his residence, Xiao Zhan contacted Liu Ruyan, and the two of them went to the mountain peak where Sun Hu and nine people lived.
After entering Huayan Sect, the three brothers and sisters Sun Hu and Gao Yuan spent almost all their time on cultivation.
Seeing Xiao Zhan again after more than half a year, the nine people looked very excited.
"Brother Xiao Zhan, are you okay?"
Sun Hu’s face was full of guilt:
"I heard that you were punished by the sect for letting a few of us join the Huayan Sect."
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, and then he realized that this was a clear statement.
He smiled and waved his hands:
"None of this matters."
A group of people sat cross-legged in Sun Hu's yard. Xiao Zhan waved his hand and took out a large amount of wine, and everyone started talking quietly.
An hour later, Xiao Zhan and Liu Ruyan left.
When they reached a secluded place, Liu Ruyan suddenly stopped and looked at Xiao Zhan with confusion on his face:
"Have you been on any secret mission these past six months?"
"I asked Elder Hei about your whereabouts, but Elder Hei didn't mention a word."
Xiao Zhan smiled and shook his head:
"It's nothing, I just changed a place to retreat."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan no longer asked about this matter, but said:
"Are you interested in forming a team again?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head and refused without thinking:
"I've been busy practicing recently and have no plans to go out."
This is not just a refusal, Xiao Zhan really has no plans to go out soon.
First of all, the four drops of Demon Emperor's spiritual liquid on his body have not been processed yet.
The heavenly materials and earthly treasures obtained in the Manyue Mountains have not yet been refined into elixirs.
Moreover, when the time is right, Xiao Zhan will go to the areas where the Gray people have not completed their construction in the chaotic world.
so,
He must continue to improve his strength and cannot waste time.
