Chapter 40: At the foot of Mount Luojia
The day of departure finally arrived. Ten contestants from the Cang Yue Sect gathered in the square early in the morning. Xie Ling had already put on the silver embroidered moon uniform representing the intermediate weapon warrior. One of the requirements for the intermediate weapon warrior assessment was that he must refine a weapon. This is a small Tiangang magic weapon. After Xie Ling got the one-yuan heavy water, he simply re-sacrificially refining the 'Black Water Heavy Sword' as part of the assessment. Because he had experience in refining the 'Liujia Aegis', he successfully completed it this time without any surprise. Sacrifice.
During the assessment, Xie Ling's superb fire control ability and proficiency in the Five Elements spells amazed the two examiners who were responsible for the assessment that day. Cui Sixiu, one of the examiners, the director of the Weapon Refining Academy, even believed that Xie Ling was fully capable of obtaining advanced weapons. The title of a warrior. But rules are rules. The senior weapon warrior required to refine two small Tiangang magical weapons with different attributes. Although Xie Ling had refined the 'Liujia Aegis' before, it was refined in his own cave. , cannot be counted.
"Are you all ready?" Shen Shichao glanced at them. As one of the leaders of this team, the master of the Sword Trial Academy and the late-stage swordsman of Cang Yue Sect's Golden Core, his eyes were as sharp as two sharp swords.
Xuanwu realm cultivators have two systems, the basic system and the intensive system. The basic system is the body, which is mainly reflected in the realm of cultivation. The intensive system is the function, which generally refers to the level of magical skills possessed by the cultivator, and They are divided into three levels: apprentice, scholar, and master. Both apprentice and scholar have three small levels. When reaching the level of master, they are only divided into two levels, master and master. Sword practitioners are called sword masters and great sword masters; Those who use the body are called refiners and great refiners; those who use poison are called poison masters and great poison masters, and so on.
The level of intensive cultivation is a division of personal strength. Not everyone can evaluate it in the Xuanwu Realm. Currently, it is recognized that only the Cultivation Alliance and the Seven Immortal Sects are qualified to set standards. Among them, only the Cultivation Alliance can judge the master level, and it can be obtained in the Xuanwu Realm. The title of master is less than one palm.
As soon as Shen Shichao's voice fell, the ten people standing side by side responded at the same time: "Preparations are complete!"
"Okay, this grand meeting will be led by me and Elder Yan from the Presbytery. If you have anything you don't understand along the way, you can ask me or Elder Yan. You are not allowed to act without authorization. Do you understand?" Shen Shichao said.
"clear!"
Xie Ling couldn't help but take a closer look at the old man next to Shen Shichao. If he was not mistaken, this man was actually the Jindan elder of the Presbyterian Academy who issued the mission to find the 'Aoki Cauldron' in the mission hall ten years ago.
The Jindan elder of the Presbytery had his eyes slightly squinted from beginning to end, standing quietly beside him with a smile on his face, looking like Shen Shichao was following his lead.
It is more than a thousand miles from Tianquan Peak to Luojia Mountain. It takes about four hours to move forward without sleep at a level 3 wind speed. The level 3 wind speed is 240 miles per hour, which is generally achieved during the foundation building period with all the strength. The maximum speed of the monks in the late stage of foundation building is only about four hours when they fly with all their strength. It is a long road. If you use your spiritual power without restraint, you will have no ability to protect yourself if you encounter an accident. Therefore, in order to To be on the safe side, they set out three days in advance and planned to walk for four hours every day at Category 2 wind speed. If everything went well, they would have one day to rest after arriving at Luojia Mountain.
"Ahead is the 'Black Water Valley'!" Chen Yizhen glanced at Xie Ling's face, remembering that during the Black Water Valley trial, he was just an ordinary disciple in the Qi refining period, but now he can stand shoulder to shoulder with himself, representing the sect. As we participated in this grand event that only happens once every sixty years, we couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Xie Ling was not in the mood to look back on the past at this time. Not long ago, he felt that the 'Blackwater Epee' in the storage bag was in a somewhat unstable state, as if there was some force that wanted to erase it from this world.
Get rid of it, and the closer you get to Blackwater Valley, the stronger this feeling becomes.
"Could it be..." His expression changed slightly as he recalled the strange scene in the Blackwater Lake Cave.
"Hey, what happened?"
At this time, someone pointed to the sky above the Blackwater Valley in the distance in astonishment, and saw that the space was distorted and refracted with colorful rays of light, and the clouds changed into various shapes in it, and the momentum was extremely spectacular.
The two Jindan monks leading the team stopped in mid-air. After the two exchanged glances, the Jindan elder named Yan flashed his light and shot towards the Blackwater Valley like lightning, disappearing among the mountains in an instant.
between.
Seeing this scene, the ten people who stayed there had their own thoughts, especially Xie Ling, who had a strange look on his face when he thought of his own 'Black Water Heavy Sword'.
"What are you worried about?" Shangguan Yu suddenly asked.
"It's nothing, I just remembered some past events from the trial in Blackwater Valley." Xie Ling turned to look at Shangguan Yu on one side, but he didn't expect that she had been paying attention to him.
"Really!" Shangguan Yu seemed not satisfied with the answer, but she, who was always cold and cold, did not ask any more questions.
At this time, Elder Yan's escape light had returned. After whispering with Qiao Youxu for a while under the attention of everyone, he temporarily changed his original plan to rest near the Blackwater Valley at night. The whole team accelerated and continued to move forward. After passing the Blackwater Valley,
Zu fled for another half an hour before stopping. At this time, it was only more than three hundred miles away from Luojia Mountain.
Xie Ling magically discovered that after passing through the Blackwater Valley, the strange movements of the 'Blackwater Epee' became weaker and weaker as the distance increased. This made him more certain that the black water in the Blackwater Valley must be the same as his own.
The Black Water Epee' has some connections, but the reason is hard to figure out even after racking one's brains.
In the Black Water Valley, the two ancestors of Cang Yue and Luojia Mountain looked at the gradually weakening space fluctuations and breathed a sigh of relief. According to the previous movements, as long as it continues for a while, even the suppression of the original prohibition formation may not be able to stop it.
The Blackwater Lake is lost in the fluctuations of space.
It is said that under the Blackwater Lake is the spatial passage leading to the Demon Realm. If the Blackwater Lake is lost, it will not only be a problem for Cangyue Sect and Luojia Mountain, but also the entire Xuanwu Realm will face a spatial catastrophe.
"Brother Xue, the spatial fluctuations here have occurred every once in a while over the years. Except for the previous one, each time in the past has been larger than the previous one. If we don't strengthen the restrictions here before they appear, other
The consequences are unimaginable!" said the ancestor of Cang Yue Sect's Yuan Shen.
"The original restriction here was set up by Master Yi of Guizong. If we want to strengthen it on this basis, except for Master Liuyun of Yangfu Sect, I am afraid there is no other person in the world who can do it!" Elder Yuanshen surnamed Xue from Luojia Mountain
Zu sighed.
"Old Liuyun has always wanted to enter the Black Water Valley, and it seems that this time he has to let him get his wish!" The Yuan Shen old man of Cang Yue Sect nodded helplessly.
"By the way, you just said that this time's fluctuations are not like previous times that intensified space fluctuations. Is there some special reason that we don't know about?"
"You mean..."
"You and I both know that Blackwater Lake is the space-time node between this interface and another interface. Thirteen years ago, Blackwater Lake began to become unstable. You can say that it exists in this world, or you can say that it does not actually exist.
exists, it is free from the critical surface of the space-time node. Although the space-time node where it is located will suddenly become extremely unstable every once in a while, it has never started to erupt again just one day later, and it seems that this eruption will not be the same.
The sudden intensification of space fluctuations like before seems like it was triggered by something."
The ancestor of Cang Yue Sect's Yuanshen thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Nothing special has happened since yesterday, only..."
"You mean you just passed by here..."
"It's just them. Didn't you find that the farther they are from here, the smaller the fluctuations in Blackwater Lake are?"
Mu Ran, the ancestor of Cang Yue Sect's Primordial Spirit, his eyes lit up, and a figure appeared in his mind!
"'Black Water Heavy Sword', could it be him!"
"What's the 'Black Water Heavy Sword'? Who are fellow Taoists talking about?" Yuanshen Ancestor surnamed Xue of Luojia Mountain asked in confusion.
"I think of a foundation-building disciple of our sect."
"Foundation-building disciple..." The Yuan Shen ancestor surnamed Xue was even more curious. Beigong Killer, one of the only two Yuan Shen ancestors of Cang Yue Sect, could remember that a Foundation-building monk would never be simple.
"Brother Xue, don't worry, you will know when we get to the Holy Fruit Conference." Patriarch Beigong chuckled.
············
Outside the Xifeng Villa at the foot of Luojia Mountain, a huge silver spaceship caught the attention of twelve people from the Cang Yue Sect. The silver spaceship was parked in the square outside, and its thirty-foot-long hull occupied almost half of the square.
, and at this time, on Luojia Mountain, the leader of the clan, Meng Fangxia, personally led the team, the masters of the three major sword halls, and five Jindan elders greeted them in front of the spacecraft with the most noble etiquette.
"Mr. Xue? Why, doesn't he know that I'm here?"
A cold voice came from the cabin, and the visitor did not even pay attention to the group of Luojia Mountain Golden Elixir monks who were bowing down to greet them, headed by the sect leader Meng Fangxia.
"Old Ancestor is not in the sect because he has important matters at the moment, so he specially ordered his disciples and others to wait here for your arrival. We also hope that the master of Ling Palace, Haihan, can do it," Meng Fangxia said.
"I'm not here for something, haha, it's really weird. It seems that I didn't plan my trip on a good day. Everyone is absent for something. Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you juniors. Yue'er, let's go down!"
"Yes, Palace Master!"
Everyone saw that under the respectful welcome of sixteen female disciples in white outside, a stunningly beautiful woman walked out of the cabin first. She raised the reed curtain, and then a woman in palace clothes walked out of the cabin surrounded by several beautiful women.
"What a huge formation, who are they?" Xie Ling asked curiously.
"They are from the Beiming Ice Palace, and the leader should be the rumored Lord of the Ice Palace, Palace Master Ling!" Chen Yizhen said at the side.
"The Lord of the Ice Palace..." Xie Ling looked curiously at the Lord of the Ling Palace, and saw that she looked like she was only in her mid-twenties, with a slender figure and an expression that was somewhat similar to Shangguan Yu.
They are all kind of cold people.
"I didn't expect that even the rumored Lord of the Ice Palace would come this time. It's really a worthwhile trip!" Chen Yizhen said excitedly.
"Brother Chen, you are so excited, maybe you have fallen in love with one of their female disciples!" Xie Ling teased.
"I want spiritual fruits, and I want beautiful women too!" Chen Yizhen shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said without concealing his inner thoughts.
Zong Beiwang and others scratched their heads unconsciously. Chen Yizhen was already old, but his character was still the same as before. And Xie Ling also spoke unabashedly. The people from Beiming Ice Palace heard this.
Why don't you cause trouble?
Sure enough, Qiao Youxu turned around and glared at Chen Yizhen and Xie Ling, the warning in his eyes not to be too obvious.
The two of them had to be quiet under his sharp eyes, and waited until Qiao Youxu turned around before looking at each other and smiling.
At this moment, people from the Ice Palace were passing in front of him in sequence. When Xin Yue looked over, she only saw Xie Ling's profile. She didn't dare to look more. She just glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, following Ling.
The palace master walked past everyone from the Cang Yue Sect.
Xie Ling suddenly stopped smiling. At that moment, a strange feeling suddenly came over his heart. It was a feeling of unrequited sweat. This feeling was very painful, very painful, as if there was someone very important.
Or things are moving away from him.
He turned to look at the Ice Palace team walking past, and was at a loss for a long, long time!
"Linggu, what's wrong with you?" Xin Yue suddenly noticed that Linggu's face, which had always been expressionless, looked a little ugly, and asked with concern.
Linggu just shook her head. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't remember what to say, and she looked very confused.
Chapter completed!
