When his mental power swept across his feet, he made a discovery.
Squat down.
Knocked on the floor tiles.
“Dong dong dong!!!”
The sound is muffled and hollow.
It means there is space under the floor tiles.
He looked carefully and found that the floor tile in front of him had signs of being moved.
"Click~"
One punch shattered the floor tiles.
Masonry splash.
A pit one foot square was revealed.
There is a metal box placed in the pit.
The box was locked.
After Xu Chen looked at the box for a moment, he took out the Qingzhi Sword, thrust the sword down, and there was a click, and the lock broke.
Open the metal box.
Xu Chen looked expectantly.
I don’t know what treasures are hidden in the box that Hong Kai hid again.
"Uh~ This is..."
After Xu Chen saw what was in the box, he was slightly startled. He grabbed it with his hand and an old copper piece was taken directly into his hand.
It took a while.
There was no spiritual energy fluctuation at all on the copper plate.
This is unusual!
Who is Hong Kai?
One of the few true disciples of the Qingling Sect, second only to Mu Tai.
A warrior at the seventh level of the True Qi Realm.
How could it be that the things he had stored away heavily in metal boxes could not be simple?
Xu Chen stared at this ancient piece of copper and saw that it was covered with copper patterns, and the copper patterns formed mountains and rivers.
He stared at the trends of mountains and rivers on the copper plate, recalling the places he had walked in his mind, but they didn't match up.
He had never been to the location on the copper plate.
After looking at it for a while and finding no results, Xu Chen put the copper piece into the storage ring.
His intuition told him that this piece of copper was of high value, so he should keep it as it might be useful in the future.
…
A night of silence.
The second day.
Xu Chen walked out of Linghai Peak and came to the training tower.
Perhaps it was because of the heavy casualties among the true disciples that this time, upon entering the training tower, there were still two training rooms on the first floor that were empty.
Choose one and enter the training room.
Because of the experience last time, Xu Chen entered the training room this time and did not use the Devouring Emperor Technique at full power. However, even so, the concentration of spiritual energy in the training room that originally had ten times the spiritual energy also reached hundreds of times. In other training rooms
It was also affected to some extent. For example, the concentration of spiritual energy in the training room on the first floor dropped from ten times to about eight times.
In the training room, the spiritual energy turned into mist, and Xu Chen madly devoured and refined the spiritual mist.
One day, two days, three days...
Time passes slowly.
After this experience of the Blood God Sect's attack, Xu Chen once again felt the powerlessness of his own lack of strength. On that day, if he had been in the air control realm, the ninth elder and the seventeenth elder would not have been forced to self-destruct. Those familiar faces
He won't die miserably because of it.
And he was not forced to flee all the way. In the end, he was knocked off a cliff and almost died tragically.
so.
His pursuit of strength became more and more urgent.
While Xu Chen was immersed in cultivation, the senior officials of the Qingling Sect, headed by the third elder, finally returned to the sect.
They brought back dozens of heads from the remnants of the Blood God Cult.
Among them, there are no heads of the Sword Protector, the Gu Protector, and the Blood Protector.
The three of them are all masters in the air control realm. If they want to escape, the third elder and others really can't stop them.
The day after the third elder and others returned to the sect, the first elder left the sect alone. A few days later, the first elder, covered in blood, returned to the sect and brought back hundreds of heads.
It turned out that the Great Elder was alone and broke into a stronghold of the Blood God Sect in the Taishang Kingdom. He destroyed the stronghold with one man and one sword. None of the 364 remnants of the Blood God Sect were spared. Among them was a Qi Controlling Realm member of the Blood God Sect.
The master was also killed by the great elder's sword.
As soon as the news came out, the remnants of the Blood God Sect in Taishang's country immediately shrank back and did not dare to act wantonly.
The various forces that were prepared to see the Qingling Sect's joke also felt chilled and chose to remain silent.
Qingling Sect was attacked and killed. Although it suffered heavy losses, the foundation of the sect has not been shaken. It is still one of the only five eighth-level forces in Taishang Kingdom. Once it becomes ruthless, even Liuyun Sect will be unable to bear it, let alone
Other forces.
As time went by, this big event that shocked the whole country gradually calmed down.
However, the battle between the Qingling Sect and the Blood God Sect is still going on overtly and covertly.
Once the stronghold of the remnants of the Blood God Sect is discovered, the Qingling Sect will immediately launch a thunderous strike to destroy it.
In just one month, three of the Blood God Sect's strongholds in the Taishang Kingdom were uprooted by the Qingling Sect, resulting in heavy casualties.
Xu Chen entered the training tower, and this retreat lasted for one and a half months.
In the training room.
Xu Chen was sitting cross-legged on the cold ground. Beside him, not far away, was the scarlet Dream-eating Wolf, greedily sucking in the mist-like spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
From the moment he entered the training room, he released the Dream Devouring Wolf from the beast control bag and trained with him.
Under the rich spiritual energy environment, the Dream Devouring Wolf's cultivation speed was also extremely astonishing. In one and a half months, his aura increased significantly.
It has reached the level of the third-level low-level peak.
Xu Chen's body suddenly emitted a chilling sword intent.
The Dream Devouring Wolf, which was opening its mouth wide and greedily sucking in the spiritual energy of the world, immediately bowed its body and the hair on the back of its neck exploded. This was a sign of encountering a natural enemy or danger.
The sword intent that made the Dream Devouring Wolf feel like it was facing a formidable enemy disappeared in a flash.
It seems like an illusion.
A trace of human doubt flashed across Dream Eater Wolf's eyes.
at the same time.
Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at the Dream-eating Wolf, and said, "Come again."
The Dream Devouring Wolf understood, and the third eye between his brows quickly opened, releasing scarlet light.
As early as half a month ago, Xu Chen had made a breakthrough from the second level of the true energy realm to the third level of the true energy realm with the help of the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the training room.
After the breakthrough, he stopped absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and instead relied on the dreams compiled by the Dream Eater Wolf to sharpen his mental strength.
Being pulled into dreams again and again, and breaking out of dreams again and again, Xu Chen's mental strength has been greatly improved.
A scarlet halo enveloped Xu Chen.
His eyes flashed, and he appeared on a prairie, surrounded by dream-devouring wolves with scarlet eyes.
He found that as the Dream Eater Wolf's strength increased, the dreams he created became more realistic.
Most people are suddenly pulled into a dream and really don't realize that they are in a dream.
Even if you know you are in a dream, you cannot break out of it.
Looking around, Xu Chen smiled confidently, opened his mouth, and faintly spit out one word.
"break!"
As the sound came out.
A terrifying sword intent suddenly came, and with a stabbing sound, the dreamland was torn apart.
The dream was shattered, and Dream Eater Wolf's spirit instantly succumbed, and his huge body lay on the ground.
Xu Chen was sensible and did not hurt the Dream-eating Wolf. The latter only needed to cultivate for half a day and he would recover as before.
"Improving mental strength will really help you understand the meaning of the sword."
Xu Chen looked happy.
"My current sword intent is probably 20% of my sword intent!"
Sword intent also has high and low levels.
For example, when you first understand Sword Intent, you only have 10% Sword Intent. On top of that, there are another 20%, 30%, and even 100%.
Thirty percent of sword intent is a small achievement of sword intent.
Seventy percent of the sword intention, the sword intention is perfected.
Only when the sword intention reaches 100% can it be called the sword intention perfect.
Every time the sword intent increases by 10%, the damage done to the swordsman increases tremendously.
For example, after Xu Chen understood 20% of the sword intention, his lethality increased by at least 50%.
Don't underestimate the 50% combat power. When two warriors of equal strength are fighting, one of them will suddenly increase his strength by 50% and can almost kill his opponent instantly.
"It's been a month and a half, it's time to go out and relax."
Xu Chen stood up, put away the Dream Devouring Wolf, and took a step out.
Back at Linghai Peak, Li Jue immediately served tea and snacks. Xu Chen drank tea and ate snacks, feeling rare and leisurely.
But Li Jue, who had just left not long ago, returned in a hurry.
"What's up?"
Xu Chen asked when he saw Li Jue leaving and returning.
"Senior Brother Cao Man is visiting."
Li Jue said.
"Please come quickly, no, I will go and greet him personally." When he heard Cao Man's visit, Xu Chen put down the snacks in his hands, stood up and went to greet him personally.
Ever since he was attacked and killed by the remnants of the Blood God Sect that day, he had not seen Cao Man again. It was said that the latter was seriously injured and would have died if it had not been for the panacea provided by the sect.
When he returned to the sect, Cao Man was recovering from his injuries, so he had no chance to meet Cao Man.
"Haha, no need, I'm already here." Cao Man's laughter suddenly came from outside the door.
Cao Man walked into the room and when he saw Xu Chen, he took a deep breath and said in surprise: "Have you broken through to the third level of the True Qi Realm?"
"It's a lucky break, the realm is not stable yet." Xu Chen said modestly.
His realm has naturally stabilized, and is far more solid than a warrior of the same level. He just doesn't want to attack Cao Man.
Cao Man said: "It's really disappointing. The Inner Sect Competition has just passed. You should have been at the eighth level of Qi Condensation Realm at that time. Now you have not only caught up with me, but you have overtaken me."
Xu Chen glanced at Cao Man and said with a smile: "I also congratulate you for breaking through to the second level of Zhenqi realm."
Cao Man sighed and said: "I broke through a small realm, almost at the cost of my life, and I can't compare with you. By the way, I heard that you killed Bai Hao and Shi Ting, that's awesome!"
Cao Man gave Xu Chen a thumbs up.
At this time, Li Jue came in with tea and snacks.
Xu Chen motioned to Cao Man to sit down and chat while eating and drinking.
Cao Man was also hungry, and was even more rude to Xu Chen. He picked up a piece of snack and started eating it, saying: "The aura of Linghaifeng is really rich. My Lingfeng is incomparable to yours. They are far behind. I'm really envious."
You, among the true disciples, the only one who surpasses you in Lingfeng is Mu Tai’s Shanhaifeng.”
"I just took advantage."
Xu Chen grinned.
He is also quite satisfied with Linghai Peak.
Cao Man ate a piece of snacks, drank another cup of tea, and reminded: "By the way, you have to be more careful. I heard that some true legends are quite critical of you occupying Linghai Peak..."
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Who are there?"
