These days, Master Baiyun has obtained a large amount of resources collected by Ling Xiao for training, plus the elixirs and gold-level entry-level martial arts that Ling Xiao obtained from the dead Sword King Sect disciples.
His cultivation, which had been stagnant for many years, actually made a breakthrough!
Perhaps because of the accumulation over the years, he was out of control after his breakthrough, directly promoted from the peak of the first level of the extraordinary realm to the early stage of the third level of the extraordinary realm, and then finally stopped.
Originally, he could return to Yuehua Sect at this time.
But he didn't.
Because he knew very well that everything he got was given by Ling Xiao, and he wanted to protect the Divine Sword Sect for Ling Xiao.
Of course there is another reason.
This guy Ling Xiao is really amazing. He can get entry-level gold martial arts and rare gold martial arts at the Divine Sword Sect for free.
In addition, there is a large amount of gold and silver that can be used to purchase cultivation materials.
It really doesn't make any difference whether he returns to Yuehua Sect or not. As long as he has that identity, he is content.
The other disciples of the Divine Sword Sect also gained a lot of benefits during this period of time.
Ling Xiaotian, Ling Wuhen, and Ling Yihang successively broke through the first level of extraordinary cultivation and became the extraordinary warriors admired by the world.
Ling Shuang, Ling Zhan, Ling Chen, Ling Yin and others have also cultivated to the ninth level of the martial arts realm.
Ling Xiao's younger brother, Ling Luo, is now an eighth-level warrior in the martial arts realm. He is no longer the little carrot head that could be bullied by others.
Within the Divine Sword Sect, the strength of the disciples has improved to varying degrees.
I'm afraid that at this moment, apart from the twelve sects, this Divine Sword Sect already has a vague feeling of being the number one sect in the secular world.
All of this is Ling Xiao's contribution.
Ling Xiao's golden sculpture was simply placed on the Zongmen Square. It was more than ten meters high and was very spectacular.
All disciples who join the Divine Sword Sect will be taught the legendary story about Ling Xiao.
Of course, Master Baiyun and others have to worry about these things. Ling Xiao doesn't need to worry too much. The key for him now is to continuously improve his cultivation and status.
In this way, the Divine Sword Sect will continue to become stronger.
Master Baiyun obtained the status of an inner disciple of the Yuehua Sect.
Yuan Zun was also successfully released from the Yuehua Pagoda.
When the master and apprentice met, they were naturally sad again.
Yuan Zun really didn't expect that his apprentice could rescue him through this method, and he was filled with emotion.
Not only did he not blame Ling Xiao for worshiping His Highness Yue Nu as his disciple, he actually supported it very much.
After all, he is not a member of the Yuehua Sect, nor is he an enemy of the Yuehua Sect, so there is no conflict of interest with Yue Nu.
Of course, more importantly, he just hopes that his disciples can be stronger and more promising, and the more things they learn, the better, but he does not have so many sectarian opinions.
After meeting Yuan Zun, Ling Xiao planned to use the reward he received this time to concentrate on cultivation. After all, his current cultivation level was only at the early stage of the third level of the extraordinary realm. If he relied on this cultivation level to participate in the Moon Coming Festival Tower Climbing Ceremony, then only
I'm afraid nothing good will come of it.
Strength always comes first.
Whether it's completing a sect mission or participating in a trial, it's the same.
But just when he was about to leave, he was stopped by Yuan Zun——
"Wait a minute, my teacher has something to tell you!"
…
While Ling Xiao was talking to Yuan Zun, something extremely strange happened in Green Valley.
In the few days since he returned to the sect, Green Valley has almost become a gathering place for the disciples of the twelve sects. These people arrived there just to search for the treasures left by the Plague Demon King.
However, for several days in a row, nothing was found.
Just today, something terrible happened.
Fully hundreds of disciples from the Twelve Sects and other small sects all mysteriously disappeared into a jungle deep in the Green Valley.
This jungle was called the "Forest of Thousand Ghosts" by the people of Green Valley in the past.
It is connected to the Fulong Mountains and is, to be precise, part of the Fulong Mountains.
The reason for this name is that people from Green Valley once entered this place by mistake. As a result, hundreds of people entered, and only one person came back alive. It is said that he saw countless ghosts and monsters.
Henceforth, there was such a name, and this place was designated as a forbidden area by Green Valley, and warriors and hunters in the valley were not allowed to enter.
But how could the disciples of the Twelve Sects listen to them?
This is what happened.
When something went wrong, all the major sects announced that they would ban their disciples from entering Thousand Ghost Forest. Unfortunately, it was already a little late.
From the depths of the Forest of Thousand Ghosts, strange cries were heard constantly, as if evil spirits were demanding their lives.
If someone enters here at this time, they will definitely find that the corpses of those sect disciples are arranged like spires, and then there are faint and strange patterns looming on the ground.
When this pattern lights up, the true energy and blood in the bodies of these sect disciples will flow in the same direction.
What was lying there was actually a weird giant tiger that was all black and had three heads.
It is five to six meters tall and seven to eight meters long, and it constantly exudes an extremely dangerous aura.
This aura is even more terrifying than the aura of the leader of the Yuehua Sect.
You must know that among the hundreds of sect disciples, the ones with the lowest cultivation level are at the first level of the Transcendent Realm, at this time they have become the nourishment of these three-headed tiger monsters.
"Hey, that idiot Plague, who has only just recovered a little bit of cultivation, still dares to make such a big noise. This king is actually getting an advantage."
This three-headed tiger monster actually made a sound that is unique to humans.
If the Plague Demon King had not died, he would have discovered that although this guy's appearance had changed, his aura definitely belonged to the Beast Demon King, one of the nine demon kings.
"But don't worry, when I regain my strength, I will definitely kill that Ling Xiao and avenge you."
The evil beast demon king licked his lips, and the three tiger heads showed ferocious smiles.
Although he didn't care that the Plague Demon King was killed, after all, his former accomplice was now killed by an outer disciple of the Yueyue Hua Sect. Even if it was just for the sake of face, he would not spare Ling Xiao.
According to the legend of Green Valley, Thousand Ghost Forest should have been haunted a thousand years ago.
If this legend is true, then this evil beast demon king may have been staying in Thousand Ghost Forest for thousands of years.
These monsters who don't know where they come from have a lifespan much longer than humans. Let alone a thousand years, even if they live for ten thousand or tens of thousands of years, there is nothing surprising about it.
…
Of course, Ling Xiao, who was in the Yuehua Sect at this time, did not know about the evil beast demon king. He was considering the suggestion of his master Yuan Zun.
"Go to the Thousand Ghost Forest. The Moon Festival is not far away. If you simply stay in the sect to practice, your improvement will be limited. Therefore, my teacher suggests that you leave the Yuehua Sect and go to the Thousand Ghost Forest to seek more information."
