Years passed, time flew, and three years passed in a blink of an eye.
Xuan Jing at this moment is not much different from three years ago. If the only change is that there are many more Haiyue country cultivators in Xuanjing, most of them are casual cultivators, but a small part are the original Haiyue country sect disciples.
However, most of the sects of the Haiyue countries were defeated and destroyed by the sea clan using thunder when the sea clan invaded.
Most of the disciples who escaped from these sects to the Great Profound Kingdom joined the Tianyue Sect and other five sects, while the younger half were unwilling to be restrained anymore and became true casual cultivators.
The appearance of these cultivators from other countries just made up for the blank space left by a large number of casual cultivators when they escaped from Xuanjing, and after a battle between dragons and tigers, several major forces have resurfaced, vaguely stronger than those old forces three years ago. The way it points.
But all this has nothing to do with Liu Ming.
During these three years, the five sects stationed a large number of sect disciples at the junction of Daxuanhaiyue and Daxuanhaiyue, and soon confronted the invading Haizu people.
According to Liu Ming’s news from the Zongmen and some intelligence gathered by him, although both sides dispatched multiple crystal-forming powerhouses at the beginning, they did not appear again except for the earth-shattering battle at the beginning. The direct battle of this class of powerhouses.
But what is very tacit is that the battle between the spiritualists and spiritualists of the two sides has become extremely fierce, and more and more frequent, and even the total number of spiritualists on both sides has fallen to 20 or 30.
As for those spiritual disciples with a lower cultivation level, there are countless more.
What surprised Liu Ming was that shortly after the war, the two sides built a giant city on the border, and they both looked like they planned to fight for a long time.
In the past three years, the Barbarian Ghost Sect also lost seven or eight spiritual masters and many inner disciples, and some were even people whom Liu Ming knew.
Fortunately, because of Jiuying Mountain's weak power, very few people have fallen. The three spiritual masters surnamed Zhong and Taoist priests are also safe and sound, and they have been stationed in the clan and did not appear at the border.
Originally, as Liu Ming’s core disciple, he would be called up to fight in these battles, but unfortunately Xuan Jing did need a capable disciple to monitor him because of the appearance of a sea clan. Really summoned back to the sect.
Of course, there have been things that have made Liu Ming a little depressed in the past three years.
That is, Gao Chong finally succeeded as an advanced spiritualist two years ago, and still shines in the battle with the sea clan at the border.
Rumor has it that he once killed a sea clan spiritist who was also a junior, and dozens of them had died in his hands.
It seems that after Gao Chong becomes a spiritual master, his strength is really not comparable to that of ordinary junior spiritual masters, otherwise he would never be able to do such things.
But such a thing is naturally not good news for Liu Ming.
Liu Ming has been purifying mana and accompanying the spirit of the sword embryo in his dantian for the past three years, plus going to Fan Baizi to learn alchemy.
The progress of the first two is ordinary, but its mana is slightly more refined than before, and the spirit of the sword embryo is even stronger. But his learning of alchemy surprised Fan Baizi.
I don't know if he really has some talent for alchemy or other reasons. In just three years, he has really achieved a small success in alchemy, and he has been able to independently refine several spiritual apprentice-level pills, and even the success rate is not too low.
However, his talent in alchemy made Fan Baizi amazed, but after the three-year period expired, he didn't hesitate to let him go.
Of course at this time Liu Ming has already begun to learn alchemy. If he wants to improve his alchemy, there is only one way to practice it.
After all, it was impossible for Fan Baizi to truly impart some of his experience in refining middle and high-level pills to him, an outsider.
On that day, when Liu Ming walked out of the coffin shop in Xuanjing Hutong again, his face couldn't help but gloomy.
Although the news from the Zongmen was ordinary, just some trivial routine announcements, Liu Ming still felt from it that Zhuzong did not seem to be going well in the recent confrontation with the Sea Clan, and he should be at a disadvantage.
This is the result of the Sea Clan dividing its power into several places and fighting several countries at the same time.
This shows that the sea clan has become stronger.
Of course, among them, the Sea Clan began to send some spies to infiltrate various countries decades ago, laying many traps to weaken the human race, and they were only launched at the same time in the early stage of the invasion.
But all this is still too far away for Liu Ming now.
Now he, returning to the secret room of the cave mansion, Fang sat down in a row. When he was about to start practicing, he suddenly felt the mana in his body boil, and then frantically rushed towards his dantian.
"it has started!"
Liu Ming stayed for a while, but immediately became overjoyed.
He then slapped the two leather bags around his waist, and immediately two black qi bursts out of them, transforming into a white scorpion and the flying skull.
"Bang" and "Bang" twice.
Liu Ming unceremoniously grabbed the tail hook of the Bone Scorpion with one hand, and grabbed the long hair of Fei Head with the other. Then, he was full of black air and began to try his best to control the speed of mana flow in his body.
As time passed, the black energy on his body became thinner and thinner.
When Liu Ming felt that there was only about one-tenth of the mana left in his body, the suction in his dantian suddenly stopped.
At the same time, he only felt a "buzz" in his ears, and when his eyes went dark, he was in a gray space.
After such a long time interval, he finally entered the mysterious space again, and the Flying Skull and the White Bone Scorpion were also closely following him.
But when Liu Ming really saw everything in front of him, his face changed drastically.
In the space that should have been empty, there was another figure sitting on the ground, and no matter how he was dressed or his face, he looked like him.
Liu Ming was completely stunned.
At this moment, the flying head next to it suddenly flew out, and fell straight in front of the opposite "Liu Ming", lying on the ground with his face facing the ground.
Seeing this, Liu Ming made a "thump" in his heart. Even though he was full of suspicion, he hurriedly pinched the formula and communicated with Feisou's mind first.
As a result, the news from Fei Head turned out to be all words like "Master, another powerful master".
This made Liu Ming even more confused after hearing this, but in his heart he also vaguely knew that Feitou was so easily surrendered by him, and it was almost impossible to do with the "self" in front of him.
After thinking about this, he naturally didn't dare to neglect, but after carefully looking at "Liu Ming" on the opposite side, his expression moved slightly.
The "self" on the other side seems to have not moved, and there doesn't seem to be any breath coming out of him, is it just a dead thing
Suspicious Liu Ming immediately stopped paying attention to Fei Head, but after slowly turning around the opposite "Liu Ming" a few times, he touched his forehead with a finger, and released his mental power to the other party. Peeked away.
As a result, as soon as his mental power touched the opposite "Liu Ming", it was immediately bounced away by an invisible force, and no matter how he moved it, he couldn't get close to the opponent's body.
This made Liu Ming's heart sink.
But after hesitating for a while, he clasped his fists in both hands, and then bowed slightly to the opposite "Liu Ming" and said:
"I don't know why the elders respect their surnames, so why are they here to look like juniors."
The opposite "Liu Ming" still closed his eyes tightly, motionless on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming frowned, and after standing up straight again, he looked up and down at the other party.
The faint scar on his forehead was an inch-long scar that was pierced with a sharp stone by a murderer on the island when he was young. The corners of his mouth were slightly cocked. This was a habit he had cultivated during his meditation and rest. A shallow blood mark on one of his palms' thumbs was accidentally scratched by a new technique he used to practice wind blade technique yesterday.
The more Liu Ming looked at it, the more he felt that the other party was the second "self", and he couldn't help but feel cold.
"Since your Excellency refuses to speak, then I am offended." Liu Ming said with a gritted teeth after a change of cloudy and sunny expression.
Then his sleeves flicked, the silver light flashed, and a silver chain was tangled at the opponent.
After a jingle, the silver chain tied the "Liu Ming" very smoothly and firmly, without the slightest resistance.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming's expression loosened slightly, and then he flipped over with one hand unceremoniously, and a stack of talismans appeared again, and all of them shot out with one hand, and they were posted on "Liu Ming" one after another. Body.
In this way, Liu Ming approached the past with peace of mind when he saw that the opposite "self" was simultaneously trapped by the demon chain and many forbidden talisman.
After turning around "self" two more times, he raised his arm with a condensed expression, and carefully touched the opponent's shoulder.
During this process, Liu Ming stared at the opposite "self" without blinking.
As a result, this "Liu Ming" still sat cross-legged on the ground, but when his palm was really placed on the opponent's shoulder, he suddenly felt aroused, and an innumerable force of strange cold immediately surged from the opponent's shoulder. , Directly into his arm.
Liu Ming was startled, and when he moved his body, he appeared several meters away, and then stared solemnly at the opponent's face.
As a result, the opposite "Liu Ming" was nothing unusual, as if the power of the strange cold just now was just an illusion in his heart.
But when Liu Ming glanced diagonally at the arm that touched the other's shoulder just now, his face became gloomy.
I saw that arm was completely unconscious, completely covered by a layer of black frost.
Liu Ming pinched the tactics with one hand, and immediately black air burst out of his body, and at the same time it surged onto his numb arm.
As a result, within a short time, the black frost on the arms of the mob quickly faded, and Bergman regained consciousness.
But at this time Liu Ming naturally felt more and more mysterious about the "self" in front of him.
