Three years later.

On top of the sacred tree, Mu Lingxian opened her eyes.

Three rays of blue, red, and white light representing water, fire, and gold are entwined around the body.

"It's really amazing."

In front of him, an elegant old man with gray hair and chicken skin, leaning on a cane, was stroking his long beard and exclaiming in admiration.

"You are only at the fifth level of the Emperor Realm, but you have already mastered three of the Five Elements Laws."

"Of course, it's amazing enough to break through to the fifth level of the Imperial Realm in just three years."

"With your current strength, I'm afraid no one in the Holy Realm can compete with you."

Mu Lingxian smiled slightly and said calmly: "The branch dean has given you too much praise. Although he has some strength, he is still far from being the first person in the holy realm."

The old man in front of him is Wu Daozi, the dean of the alchemy branch of the college and the sage of spiritual alchemy.

Wu Danzi shook his head and said: "Your talent is indeed astonishing. I have begun to look forward to the day when I see you break through to the holy realm."

He sighed a little: "Since ancient times, in the world of mainland immortality, no matter how amazing the genius is, they dare not say that they will definitely be able to break through the holy realm. After all, the level of the holy realm is too difficult."

"Even if a few of his disciples are called monsters, I dare not say that they will definitely be able to break through the heavenly barrier. Only when I saw the strength of that little guy Mingzhi in the past few years did I know that there is really something beyond the realm of the world.

Common sense genius.”

"I once speculated whether he could break through the Holy Realm before he was a thousand years old. Although he may have underestimated him, the difficulty of the Holy Realm is extraordinary after all."

As he said that, Wu Danzi laughed: "But you... you have simply subverted the old opinion."

He stroked his beard and smiled: "I even want to see if you can break through to the holy realm before you are two hundred years old."

"At your speed, you can break through to the realm of the Great Emperor within a hundred years at worst. At this time, the three elements have already gathered. By then, it will not be difficult to gather the five elements to form the cycle of birth and death. The next step is to break through to the holy realm.

It depends on the opportunity."

Mu Lingxian smiled and said: "The branch dean really thinks highly of me."

Having said that, what he was thinking was of course another matter.

As a top saint who has already broken through once, it is naturally not that difficult to break through again. But for him who has already touched the threshold in his previous life, the holy realm is no longer a barrier.

Two hundred years? He can't wait that long to break through to the Holy Realm.

If you give him such a long time, his goal will only be to reach a higher level.

"But the hidden wounds in your body haven't healed yet, so you can't act too hastily." Wu Danzi sighed: "Well, three years ago... if Xuanling could stop you in time..."

Mu Lingxian smiled and said nothing, but an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

There was a trace of sadness and a trace of guilt in that light.

Three years ago, there was a battle in Breaking Heaven City.

Yueyi sacrificed herself and plucked the six notes of her life string, killing three emperor-level demon puppets, saving students and many people, and also saved the life of Jiang Chengzi, who was seriously injured.

Fu Xuanling arrived a step too late and only saved a trace of Yue Yi's soul.

After that, Jiang Chengzi's serious injuries, coupled with the blow of Taoist companion Ning Yuci's death, caused the spiritual platform to become unstable and his cultivation almost collapsed. He is still in seclusion and recuperating to this day.

In grief and anger, Mu Lingxian realized the second level of human swordsmanship before the battle, using gods, ghosts and monsters as swords.

Not only wind, snow, grass and trees, but also living things, including your own body, can be turned into swords.

With this move, he went on a killing spree outside Potian City, killing countless demon puppets.

But because the blood and demonic energy he was contaminated with was too heavy, and because he had just entered the second level and turned his body into a sword for the first time, he almost lost control during the killing.

The more he killed, the stronger his sword light became, the heavier the evil spirit and demonic energy became, and the more difficult it was to control. Eventually, it turned into a violent sword rain covering thousands of miles and lost control.

The rampant sword light almost wiped out most of the demon puppets in the south of Potian City, and the number of people killed must not be counted in the tens of thousands.

After sweeping through the south of Potian City, Mu Lingxian, who was one with the sword light, lost control and almost affected everyone in the academy. Yu Suling arrived in time to stop the rampaging billions of sword lights, but faced the massacre of countless demon puppets.

After the unprecedentedly powerful sword light, even with her strength that could compete with Mu Lingxian, she was unable to withstand it and was damaged by the sword light.

You must know that there are countless masters in Potian City, and there are many strong ones in the Emperor Realm. Facing the attack of this infinite demon puppet, they can only barely resist it. One can imagine how terrifying the sword light that almost killed the southern demon puppet is.

In the end, it was Fu Xuanling who took action and forcibly suppressed Mu Lingxian back to his human form.

But this also caused Mu Lingxian's soul to be injured. Although he has improved his cultivation in the past three years, the injury to his soul has not yet healed.

If not, how could he still not fully master the Five Elements Law after three years based on his background in his previous life.

It's natural to feel guilty. Because of my grief and anger over Yueyi's death, I lost control and hurt innocent people, and even Su Ling was injured as a result.

It is also for this reason that he has been in seclusion in the academy for the past three years and has never left.

It has been three years since I last saw Yu Suling.

On the one hand, it’s because of the injury and guilt.

On the one hand, I am also worried.

The power of the second level of human swordsmanship is beyond imagination. Even if you reach the imperial realm, you cannot easily control it.

Moreover, the power of the second sword will become stronger and stronger with the battle. It is simply a miracle beyond imagination, but it is also more likely to get out of control.

Especially in today's world, where demons are rampant and blood is flowing, sword intent contaminated with demonic energy is even more dangerous.

Just like a peerless sharp blade, if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself and those around you.

He can't appear easily again before he fully controls this divine sword.

However, three years later, the results are not satisfactory.

Although I can basically control the sword intention when I transform my body into a sword, there is still no guarantee that the power of the sword intention will still be suppressed when the sword intention becomes more and more powerful during the battle.

As an alchemy sage, Wu Danzi is also a master of medicine. He has been treating Mu Lingxian's injuries for the past three years and guiding his practice as a strong man in the holy realm of the academy.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to stay in seclusion for a long time."

Knowing Mu Lingxian's confusion, Wu Danzi said with a smile: "Since there has been no progress, why not go for a walk and relax, maybe you can gain something."

"I heard that you were in seclusion to no avail. Didn't you realize this tyrannical sword intention only after you came down the mountain?"

His words awakened Mu Lingxian.

My human sword intention comes from the human world, how can I realize it without being separated from the human world?

Send Mu Lingxian out of the retreat.

Wu Danzi suddenly seemed to think of something, stroked his beard and laughed.

Mu Lingxian asked in confusion: "Why is the branch dean so happy?"

Wu Danzi stroked his beard with one hand and said with a smile: "While I'm sending you out, I'm reminded of what happened back then."

"Back then, I had a friend who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years without making any progress, and almost became a demon. When I went to treat him, he suddenly had an enlightenment and his temperament changed drastically, and he said he wanted to travel."

"I was always worried that he would be too crazy about cultivation and would harm himself. I was really happy to hear him say that."

"At that time, the old man also sent him out like this."

"After that, he changed a lot. Although he was a lot less reliable, in many senses, he also changed a lot for the better."

"Over the years, when I was sitting in seclusion, I often dreamed of that day in my trance." Wu Danzi sighed: "It is obviously a holy place after all, so why do I still dream about it?"

Mu Lingxian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about what happened in his previous life when he just traveled through time.

Before you know it, that happened more than a hundred years ago.

However, when I think about it now, it still feels like yesterday.

I had just arrived in this strange world, and the first thing I saw was my old friend Wu Danzi.

The scenes at that time came into view. The anxiety and fear, excitement and novelty at that time, everything seemed to have happened not long ago, and it was still so clear.

Mu Lingxian had mixed feelings for a moment.

He didn't say much, just bowed to Wu Danzi, then turned and left.

This bow is my respect as Mu Lingxian and my gratitude as Chen Long.

This familiar old man was the first person I came to this world, the first guide, and the first person to see him off.

Old friend, thank you for seeing me off, goodbye!
