There is no time in the mountains, half a year passed in a flash.
The Great Wu Kingdom, the Snowy Mountains in the Cold Sky.
The ruins of Tianhan Palace.
On the back hill opposite countless palaces and pavilions, there is a vast square filled with old wooden mannequins. It was once a martial arts hall where Tianhan Palace disciples practiced martial arts.
In front of a snow-covered wooden mannequin, there was a young man holding a long sword hidden in a scabbard, exuding an aloof and arrogant air.
The young man's eyes were closed tightly, but his soul was communicating with everything around him, as if he was looking for some opportunity.
The wind and snow roared by, and gradually the young man's body was wrapped in a layer of silver.
Stupid!
Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes, and a touch of determination appeared in his deep eyes.
At the same time, he drew his sword with his right hand and slashed out a brilliant sword light, piercing the void.
This sword is as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder. When the sword light flashes, it explodes into violent thunder and flames, setting off a blazing sword that sweeps in all directions!
Suddenly, the wind and snow melted, as if a fire god was born in the world of ice and snow, transforming the whole body into a world of fire.
Bear!
The sword light and thunder and fire disappeared in an instant, but in front of the young man, on the wooden mannequin made of fourth-order black wood and specially used for the training of Yuanying realm disciples of Tianhan Palace, a three-foot-deep sword mark suddenly appeared.
The inner wall of the front is extremely smooth, but it is filled with the anxious atmosphere of flame and thunder.
The young man is Gu Jian.
After the matter in the Tianxing Kingdom was settled, Gu Jian returned to the Tianhan Snow Mountain, where he made alchemy in exchange for scarce materials for forging the Xuan Sword, and practiced sword skills.
Half a year has passed, and Gu Jian's cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth level of the Sword Dan Realm.
Although he spent half a year practicing, with Gu Jian's current Ten Thousand Sword Qi Sea and the strength of the Shifang Sword Pill, if he wanted to break through to the late stage of the Sword Pill realm, he would have to refine a sword at the level of a spiritual weapon.
Spiritual weapons are so precious that only the Weapon King can refine them, so even if Gu Jian has scarce materials, his mental power is not enough to support him in refining the spiritual weapons.
What's more, just the various scarce metals needed to refine spiritual weapons cannot be obtained by refining fourth-level elixirs in just half a year.
Therefore, in the past six months, Gu Jian did not pursue improvement in his realm, but focused on honing his swordsmanship.
"Gu Jian, I really didn't expect that in just half a year, your swordsmanship has reached the same level as mine." Seeing Gu Jian slashing the wooden man stake with deep sword marks, Xiao Jin was also practicing his sword not far away.
Yan sighed.
"It's a pity that tomorrow is the day to open the secret realm of Panlong Cave Mansion. If you give me another two months, I may be able to realize the sword intention to the ultimate state in one fell swoop." Gu Jian put the Yao Xing Sword back into its scabbard and shook his head.
"I am afraid that only genius sword cultivators in the mid-to-late Nascent Soul Realm can realize the sword intention to that level." Ning Xuanyue said in surprise, "But your strength has indeed become much stronger. This wood
Even I can only cut two or three feet of knife marks on a human stake, but you are so much lower than me but you can still do it."
"That's natural. I have practiced the Thunder Fire Sword Technique to a superb level in the past six months. Coupled with the fourth-level Tiangang Thunder Fire, it is natural that it can be so powerful."
Gu Jian said again.
The Thunder Fire Sword Technique he talked about was an earth-level middle-level martial art, known for its powerful power.
Even the power of the Thunder Fire Sword Technique when it was first learned was no weaker than the Meteor Arc Fall, the last form of the Meteor Sword Technique. Coupled with the equally violent fourth-level Thunder Fire, it increased its power to a terrifying level.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Gu Jian does not use the Killing Eyes and Lingtian Sword, he can still be invincible at the Nascent Soul Realm, and can even compete with a first-level Nascent Soul Realm warrior.
At this moment, bursts of noisy sounds came from around the ruins of Tianhan Palace.
"It seems that warriors from all sides of the Yongning Region have been released to this Tianhan Palace."
As early as a month ago, warriors from many forces rushed to Tianhan Snow Mountain.
They were all people who purchased the Dongfu Token from Piaoxue Tower. However, due to the control of Piaoxue Tower, they had camped in nearby towns during the previous period, and they were not allowed to enter the ruins of Tianhan Palace until today.
Feeling the auras from all directions, Gu Jian realized how big the Yongning Domain was. Among these auras, there were more than 10,000 Yuan Dan realm martial lords, and even the Yuan Ying realm and above had no less than a thousand martial lords.
There are even a few beings that Gu Jian can't even feel their breath. They should be the same strong Void Realm masters as Meng Xinghe. They are the rulers of major forces.
However, what makes Gu Jian and the others feel strange is that the number of Martial Lords in the middle stage of Nascent Soul is very small, and the number of Martial Lords in the later stage is even pitiful, which is in sharp contrast to the number of Martial Lords in the early stage.
And this contrast is definitely not because these forces do not have mid- to late-stage Martial Lords.
"Mr. Gu, you two ladies, the host invites you." At this time, Mr. Xu came over.
"Mr. Xu, lead the way."
Gu Jian said calmly.
Not long after, Gu Jian and the others were brought into a palace by Mr. Xu, where Meng Xinghe was waiting.
But besides Meng Xinghe, there were no less than ten tall figures sitting on the left and right sides of the palace.
Gu Jian took a closer look, and immediately felt a sigh of relief in his heart, because these were more than a dozen Martial Kings in the Void Realm, and two of them even had vaguely stronger auras than Meng Xinghe.
But what concerned Gu Jian the most was one of the middle-aged men in yellow robes who looked at him with unconcealed murderous intent!
Without thinking too much, Gu Jian knew that the yellow-robed King Wu must be the Emperor of Daqian.
After all, only Emperor Daqian, whose two heirs died because of Gu Jian, and whose most precious treasure, the Dragon Cauldron, was taken away by Gu Jian, could have such obvious murderous intentions towards Gu Jian.
But it was just murderous intent, and the middle-aged man in yellow robe did not make any unnecessary moves.
"Mr. Gu, you are finally here." Meng Xinghe smiled when he saw Gu Jian arriving.
Before Gu Jian could reply, a red-haired man with a fiery aura spoke first, "So you are Gu Jian, the rumored alchemy genius who became the Alchemist at the age of eighteen?"
"It's Gu."
Gu Jian said, neither humble nor arrogant.
Because the number of alchemy masters is too small and they are crucial to the training of warriors, in terms of status alone, alchemy masters are superior to ordinary martial masters, so Gu Jian does not need to lower his stature.
"Okay! I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true. In terms of alchemy talent, you are above Chen Liuxing of our Jihuo Sect." The red-haired Martial King said again.
"Senior has given me too much praise."
Gu Jian clasped his fists, neither arrogant nor impatient.
It seems that this red-haired King of Martial Arts is Yan Muhu, the leader of the Extreme Fire Sect in Yongning Region, who is known as the 'Angry Tiger'.
"Mr. Gu, tomorrow is the day when the secret realm of the cave will be opened. You should not have lost your Coiling Dragon Cauldron, right?"
At this time, a slightly sinister voice sounded quietly, as if he was unhappy with Yan Muhu's compliment to Gu Jian.
The person who spoke was none other than Emperor Daqian.
