Seeing that everyone close to him was safe, Xia Chen finally felt relieved.
Now that no one could threaten him with the safety of Zhengxuan Sect, Xu Yunxuan and others, Xia Chen felt relaxed and no longer burdened.
There is a certain truth to the saying that with greater power comes greater responsibility and greater fetters.
And after completing the Holy Fire Order, he will become the honorary elder of the alliance. Not only will the alliance no longer be a heavy pressure, but it will also become a weapon against the Tianlan Sect, helping him withstand most of the pressure.
Although he killed Zuo Gongzi, his great enemy, and offended Zuo Ju as the leader of the alliance, Xia Chen was confident that he had done everything flawlessly and no one would find any flaws.
Mr. Zuo's body was only destroyed, his soul was wiped out and his intelligence was wiped out. In a sense, although he was dead, his soul card would not be destroyed. Even if Zuo Juwei was a seventh-level magical monk, he would not be able to find any clues.
As for the rescue of Xu Yunxuan and others, although many officials in the Lord's Mansion of Jin'an City knew his whereabouts, with Xia Chen's style of doing things, how could they leave any traces.
Before Jin An returned to the temporary dojo, he used a secret technique to erase the memories of the principals out of thin air using the power of the Five Elements Killing Formation.
Even if the alliance sends elders to investigate, it is impossible to find any clues.
However, Quan Zhidong, Liang Qidong and Quan Zhenxing were all imprisoned in the sky jail, and this matter has not been resolved yet.
Although the two fifth-level elders did not help him, they were kind after all. Quanzhenxing had taken care of Xu Yunxuan and others for a long time, so it was impossible to stand by and watch. All of this would have to wait until he returned to the alliance and was officially crowned as an honorary elder.
Solve it again.
In fact, Xia Chen really wanted to help more people.
Unlike people in this world, he is a time traveler. Whether it is world view or values, he is very different from others. At least in Xia Chen's heart, he has his own moral bottom line of good and evil.
There are some things you can do, but there are some things you can't do if you kill them. For example, for the sake of refining treasures, you can plunder the souls of mortals for no reason.
The law of the jungle is one thing, but the law of the jungle does not mean that there is no principle. If within the scope of his strength, Xia Chen will choose to do some good deeds or help some unrelated people.
He did this not for salvation, not for the next life. He had a long road to becoming an immortal, and he no longer believed in this. What Xia Chen wanted was actually peace of mind.
Having peace of mind is also the highest state of spiritual practice. Feeling ashamed of everything. Not complaining about God, not blaming others, being sincere and simple is the most profound principle of the Tao.
It's just that right now, he doesn't have the ability to help more people. Because of lack of strength, there will be various fetters. Sometimes not only can't he help others, but he may bring disaster to innocent people, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Therefore, having self-awareness and acting within one's ability is also a kind of spiritual practice.
Maybe only when you have truly cultivated the great path, you can do whatever you want to do.
With four months left before the two-year period, Xia Chen sacrificed the Nine-turn Exquisite Tower, activated the magical power of reversing time, and practiced and communicated with everyone.
In the blink of an eye, four months passed.
Under the effect of the Nine-turn Exquisite Pagoda to reverse time ten times, everyone is equivalent to practicing hard for four years, and they come out with great changes.
The most obvious changes were those of Xu Yunxuan and the other six people who followed.
They were originally at the peak of the first level of supernatural power. After hard training, they all successfully broke through to the second level of supernatural power. Although Xiaoliang was still the lowest in cultivation, he made the fastest progress and broke through to the level 7 of acquired supernatural power directly.
There were seven original first-level supernatural power disciples of the Zhengxuan Sect, such as sisters Li Qitong, Xu Shaobai, Leng Xingchen and others, who also made major breakthroughs and became second-level supernatural power monks one after another.
But others have not made breakthroughs, but their cultivation and magical powers have improved a lot, and they are much stronger than before.
Everyone is not surprised. The process of cultivation is always gradual. The higher the level, the more difficult it is to break through. It has only been four months, and it has been possible to achieve such a fast cultivation speed with the help of the heaven-defying effect of the Nine-turn Exquisite Pagoda.
Xu Qiankun wanted to refine two golden elixirs, so he immediately closed the death barrier. When Xia Chen took back the Nine-turn Linglong Tower, he didn't even come out of the barrier, and he didn't know whether he could break through the fifth level of magical power after he came out of the barrier.
Xia Chen only consolidated the fourth level of magical power and refined a few treasures and elixirs, but there was no improvement in other matters.
With his current strength, if there is no unexpected opportunity or help, and he relies solely on cultivation to achieve breakthroughs, he will not be able to make any big progress in less than a hundred years.
If magical monks were so easy to break through, becoming immortals and attaining enlightenment wouldn't be just a legend.
Of course, if you return the Nine-turn Linglong Pagoda and obtain the inheritance of the Holy Fire Order from the thirteenth generation leader, you will immediately get a great opportunity.
Although it was very painful for Xia Chen to have to send back the best magic weapon, it was more than compensated by the chance inheritance from a seventh-level magical monk. At least for now, he could not control the Nine-turn Exquisite Tower.
Two days later, Xia Chen said goodbye to everyone and officially left for the alliance space.
He had decided to come back and continue practicing after completing the Holy Fire Order. Everyone knew this and asked him to come back quickly.
This will not only relieve the pressure from the Tianlan Sect, but also eliminate the need to face the unfathomable alliance leader Zuo Juwei. Kill two birds with one stone. After cultivating to the fifth level of supernatural power, and then come out, even when facing the seventh level monks, you should have a certain degree of confidence.
The power of protection is guaranteed.
Only Chen Qiushui was unhappy. Not long after they got together, they had to break up again.
After Xia Chen went to the alliance last time, the two almost couldn't see each other, and there was a shadow in her heart. This time Xia Chen went again, Chen Qiushui felt a little worried.
After Xia Chen coaxed her with kind words for a long time, he finally made his sweet wife smile again, and then he left with peace of mind.
At his current speed, he set up the Escape Light, and at lightning speed, he arrived at the exit of the alliance space after one day.
After skillfully executing several spells, a blazing light spot suddenly flashed in the empty air.
The light spot quickly grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a space portal several feet high. The two doors slowly separated to the left and right, revealing the strange world inside.
Fierce lightning flashed up and surrounded the portal. It could turn into a powerful attack at any time.
Xia Chen knew that this was the alliance's formation protection, and that identity verification was required to enter the alliance space. Therefore, he didn't care, and took out the identity jade token representing the status of a first-level elder from his arms, and took a photo of it towards the portal.
The jade token emits a green light, which shines into the alliance space.
Boom! The blazing thunder light on the door suddenly became louder, and with the deafening explosion, it suddenly transformed into two powerful thunder dragons, which plunged hard towards Xia Chen.
Xia Chen was taken aback. He didn't understand why he was suddenly attacked by a large array of people when he verified his identity.
Moreover, looking at the power of these two thunder dragons, they are enough to kill ordinary fourth-level monks with magical powers. They obviously used the extremely high-level attack of the formation. What is going on?
Without thinking, he took a step back and brought out the True Heart Sword. The two swords fell with a swish. Immediately, he chopped the two huge thunder dragons into little bits of lightning and disappeared.
However, the thunder light on the portal did not disappear. Instead, it made a thunderous sound, which became more and more intense. In the blink of an eye, an even more powerful thunder dragon was born. It ferociously rushed towards Xia Chen.
At the same time, countless points of cold light suddenly appeared in the void, instantly turning into extremely sharp sword lights, attacking Xia Chen like a storm.
Xia Chen's expression changed, but he did not run away immediately.
He is familiar with the structure of the alliance's formation. He has been trapped in the formation since he opened the space portal with magic spells. If he escapes, he will immediately incur a more powerful blow.
He pinched the True Heart Sword and formed an airtight shield of sword light around him, blocking the attacks of the Thunder Dragon and the sword light.
Then Xia Chen moved and shot directly into the space portal.
The identity jade tag cannot be wrong. If the formation backfires, it can only be that the authority of his identity jade tag has been changed, so the formation protection did not recognize it.
But even if the permissions are changed, the attack will not be so severe.
Just like a strange monk who wants to enter the alliance space, the formation will definitely give a warning in advance. Only when the newcomer does not know how to advance or retreat, the attack of the formation will gradually escalate.
Directly emitting lightning that can destroy a fourth-level magical monk, this is already the first level alert of the alliance, which means that he is regarded as an extremely dangerous enemy.
After he entered the alliance space, the space portal closed automatically.
The outside world is still calm and peaceful. However, inside the alliance space, the large-scale attacks have not stopped, and when they see people breaking into the alliance space, more powerful attacks will fall immediately.
Boom boom boom... The restriction buzzed violently, and countless thunder lights shone, appearing from the sky and roaring towards Xia Chen.
In addition to thunder, other attacks also began to appear, ground stabs, sword rays, fireballs... still coming gradually, and getting stronger and stronger.
Xia Chen stood still. Although this level of formation attack was enough to kill a fourth-level spiritual monk, there was no pressure on him. He didn't even need a magic weapon and could withstand it just by relying on his own cultivation.
The reason why he entered the alliance space instead of escaping is because the sound of the formation will soon summon other monks from the alliance, and then they can identify themselves and know what happened.
He was strolling in the forbidden attack. Suddenly, Xia Chen's heart moved, and he felt that the pattern of the formation attack was quite familiar, and it looked a bit like his own technique layout.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen activated his spiritual thoughts, and instantly constructed countless tiny hair-like original heart taboos, which sank into the void and began to explore the structure of this part of the formation.
After a while, the Origin Heart Restriction returned information about the formation structure. Xia Chen looked at it with his spiritual mind and couldn't help but be stunned.
No wonder it's so familiar. It turns out that this part of the formation structure is a collection of his techniques for constructing the extended formation of large formations. Although some details have been changed, the main layout is based on his techniques as the core.
So that's it. It seems that the alliance has made some adjustments in the past two years... Xia Chen suddenly felt enlightened and smiled calmly.
Since it is your own method, the water is rushing towards the Dragon King Temple, and you can stop, counter, or even crack it at any time.
However, he must bear responsibility for destroying the alliance formation. Before knowing the truth, Xia Chen did not want to react violently.
However, the time of a stick of incense has passed, but the formation attacks have continued unabated, becoming more and more intensive.
