In fact, it is no longer appropriate to call it a mountain, because under the continuous attacks from the outside world, although the mountain gate array took them all down, the unparalleled power, even if it was transmitted through step-by-step shock absorption and accumulated over a long period of time, caused the main peak to collapse.
half of.
The once prosperous sect has become a mess, with broken tiles and ruins everywhere, ruins and rubble can be seen everywhere, and weeds have stubbornly come out of the cracks in the rocks, showing a desolate and desolate scene.
Almost all buildings were destroyed, including medicine gardens, courtyards, palaces, treasure houses...all turned into ruins.
Only the majestic and broad main hall, as it is the center of the mountain gate formation, has been completely preserved, but it is also weather-beaten and in a precarious state.
Apart from this, for several miles around the main peak, there are only the construction nodes left over from the Mountain Gate Formation.
In the lobby of the main hall, the four highest patriarchs, Xu Qiankun, Ma Huanshan, Yin Qiuli, and Lin Ruoshui, were standing silently, with deep tired looks on their faces.
Although he looked tired, Xu Qiankun's eyes were still bright and clear. Although he stood there, although he did not release any aura, his ethereal and elegant temperament was undoubtedly revealed, and his eyes flashed with insight from time to time.
If Xia Chen saw it, he would definitely be shocked, because this is a sign of the fourth level of spiritual power.
Two years have passed, and Xu Qiankun has broken through from the third level of supernatural power to the fourth level of supernatural power. This is beyond imagination for a magical monk who often takes more than ten years or even decades to advance to a higher level.
However, it was not just Xu Qiankun who was beyond imagination. Ma Huanshan, Yin Qiuli and Lin Ruoshui, who were standing opposite him, had supernatural powers slightly revealed. There were even more sublime artistic conceptions surrounding them, and they had all broken through to the third level of supernatural powers.
Magic realm.
The four people's auras are calm and measured, their spiritual thoughts are solid, and although they are tired, they are not sluggish. This is a terrifying strength that can only be acquired after going through great battles. It means that the follow-up potential is extremely high.
"Who is presiding over the formation?" Xu Qiankun asked after a long silence.
"In addition to Xiao Hei and Zuo Qing, there are also Kong Chen and Chen Dong hosting, oh, and by the way, there are also those three little guys Sun Li, Chen Lie and Fang Qiu." Ma Huanshan said. When he mentioned Sun Li and the others
, even though he was tired, his tone was still very appreciative.
Xu Qiankun's eyes also lit up and he smiled: "It's been at least half a month. I don't know if the three children can support it."
"Don't worry, ancestor. I went to see them this morning. The three of them are still energetic. Although Kong Chen and Chen Dong have already broken through to the second level of magical power, I don't think they can really compare with these rising stars.
The younger generation." Yin Qiuli also smiled.
Lin Ruoshui curled her lips and said: "It's not necessarily possible, it's simply incomparable. In the past half month, Fan Yun and Wan Ting have been taking turns with Kong Chen and the others, but Fang Qiu and the three of them have been holding on. Fortunately,
Only with the support of these three little guys can we take a breather."
All four of them laughed.
Xu Qiankun sighed with emotion: "The war has sharpened people. If it were in the past, how could even the three of them have been able to break through the second level of supernatural power from the acquired realm in just two years? This is simply unbelievable.
I dare to imagine that in all my years of living, I have never seen a genius who has upgraded so rapidly."
"Ancestor, on the one hand, they are tempered by the war. On the other hand, it was also when Junior Xia gave them mysterious benefits to the three good brothers before he left, right? Otherwise, they are peerless geniuses, how could they be promoted so quickly?" Lin
Ruoshui smiled mysteriously.
Xu Qiankun smiled slightly. Xia Chen arranged the Five Elements Formation in the Dantian of Sun Li and the others. Although no one said it, the three of them upgraded so quickly. Naturally, everyone could tell that they must have benefited from it. Otherwise, it would only be based on genius.
Two words are not enough to be convincing.
However, no matter who becomes stronger, it is the Zhengxuan Sect that becomes stronger. Those who can stay in the Zhengxuan Sect are monks with a sense of friendship and will not be secretly jealous.
What's more, after two years of constant battles and training, coupled with the Zhengxuan sect's crisis, all resources were taken out and used on the disciples. The others were promoted very quickly, far beyond ordinary people.
Even Zhan Kongchen and other original first-level magical monks did not have much potential, but after hard work, they broke through to the second-level magical power. In comparison, Sun Li and the others only stood out.
"If we talk about fast, Fang Qiu and the three of them are not the fastest, not to mention that we have all risen to the first level. You must know that it is much more difficult to break through the first level of the supernatural realm than the acquired realm." Yin Qiuli suddenly laughed.
road.
Lin Ruoshui screamed: "You want to talk about Junior Sister Qiu Shui, right? Indeed, compared with Junior Sister Qiu Shui, Fang Qiu and the others are still nothing compared to Junior Sister Qiu Shui. They have risen to two levels of magical power in two years, and suddenly they have transformed from my Junior Sister to Junior Sister."
I killed my junior sister again.
In a few years, will she become my senior aunt? Oh my God, I have discovered a truth. As long as you are close to Senior Nephew Xia, you will be upgraded very quickly. I am thinking about it, if Senior Nephew Xia comes back
, do you want to use your beauty to seduce him?"
Everyone laughed again. Although they were facing a great disaster, their spirits were very relaxed, and no one looked sad.
Xu Qiankun asked: "By the way, why don't you see Qiushui? Have you gone to practice again?"
The smiles of the three people suddenly disappeared and they nodded in silence.
Ma Huanshan sighed: "Ever since she learned that Junior Nephew Xia was carrying the Alliance's Holy Fire Order to find the Alliance's most precious treasure, the Nine-turn Linglong Tower, she has been practicing hard without giving herself any time to rest. No matter how much I persuade her, she will do the same."
Xu Qiankun was silent for a while and then said softly: "Let her go. Qiu Shui is a very mature child and knows how to be measured. If there are no more elixir resources left, give her more."
"There are many more. Since you, our ancestor, dismissed almost all your disciples two years ago, our resources may not be used up until the day the formation is broken." Ma Huanshan said with a bitter smile.
His face suddenly became grim, and he felt that it was too unlucky to say this.
But Xu Qiankun and the others didn't pay attention. Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before the formation was broken. It was already a miracle that it could survive until now, so there was no need to lie to oneself.
"At that time, I dismissed the disciples with the intention of survival of the fittest and keeping only the best. But later, the divination predicted that the Zhengxuan catastrophe was coming, so I simply dismissed more than 90% of the disciples. In fact, many of them were forced to go down the mountain. They were all in tears at that time.
I don't want to leave, I feel really sad, I just hope they won't hate me." Xu Qiankun sighed.
Yin Qiuli advised: "How can I hate you? This is for their own good. Otherwise, even if these disciples stayed, they would not be able to survive today. Instead, they would have lost their lives. If there are disciples who practice great achievements in the future, we will be equal to them."
The incense inheritance of Zhengxuan Sect has been passed on."
"It's a pity that Senior Nephew Yang Yuanxing, Senior Nephew Li Youzhong, Senior Nephew Zhao Tieshan and many disciples were killed and cannot survive until now." Lin Ruoshui said sadly.
Everyone was silent and gloomy. Although Xu Qiankun dismissed more than 90% of the disciples of the sect to avoid the crisis from expanding, there were still nearly a hundred people left.
Since the war, most of the adults have been killed one after another. Today, there are less than thirty monks who have survived.
However, the monks who survived had been tempered by the war, and the weakest ones had broken through the first level of supernatural power. For example, Lin Fengling, Xu Shaobai, Leng Xingchen and others had reached the peak of the first level of supernatural power and could break through to the second level at any time.
"Ancestor, have you done any divination recently?" Yin Qiuli suddenly asked softly.
Everyone immediately turned their hopeful eyes to Xu Qiankun.
Xu Qiankun naturally understood what he meant, his face suddenly became heavy, and he sighed: "It's a divination, but the divination is not a good fortune, but a bad omen."
"What? Could it be that Junior Nephew Xia really didn't find the Nine-turn Exquisite Pagoda and was unfortunately killed?" Ma Huanshan said in shock, his voice trembling.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
The reason why they have been able to survive the strong attack of the alliance until now is that they have perseverance, but the most important thing is that they still have hope.
This hope is Xia Chen.
Everyone subconsciously believed that Xia Chen could complete any impossible task.
This has nothing to do with strength or feelings, it is completely a kind of blind faith.
Because Xia Chen has proven with his actions that time and time again, he has not let down the people behind him, so no matter how big the crisis is, no matter how painful the situation is, everyone is gritting their teeth and persisting, because of Xia Chen.
Where there is Xia Chen, there is hope.
Unknowingly, Xia Chen has become everyone's spiritual support. The Zhengxuan sect can still maintain an optimistic attitude and full of energy to this day. This is the reason why.
Although Xia Chen is not here, his shadow is there, his faith is there, and everyone can feel his invisible influence.
But Xu Qiankun said that the divination has a bad omen, doesn't this mean that Xia Chen may encounter something unexpected?
For a time, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
Xu Qiankun said hurriedly: "You may have misunderstood. I'm not talking about Xia Chen. I still can't understand his hexagram. As for the bad omen, it means that we will probably face a big disaster."
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Ma Huanshan smiled bitterly and said, "Ancestor, aren't we in danger now? The formation can't even last two months. What omen could be more serious than this?"
"Of course there is." Xu Qiankun said seriously, "What if the alliance cannot attack for a long time and loses patience and sends fifth-level elders over? How many days can we hold back with our large formation?"
The expressions of the three people changed again. Although Xue Lingshan could not spy on them, he could easily grasp the situation outside the formation and could clearly see the strength of Emperor Wang Zhong and Xue Lingshan.
If it were just the current situation, with the hundreds of thousands of yuan stones that Xia Chen left behind, he could still contend for at least two months.
But if a fifth-level monk with magical powers randomly comes to the alliance, the Mountain Gate Formation, which has already been exerted to its extreme, may not be able to sustain it for even three days.
Thinking that outside is Xue Lingshan, who hates the Zhengxuan Sect to the core. If the mountain gate is breached, what kind of terrible revenge will they encounter? Everyone knows clearly in their hearts that even if they open the door and surrender now, no one will survive.
The so-called integration means eradicating dissidents in a fair and just name. Otherwise, if there is no hatred, what if we just accept the integration?
