Liu Ming retracted the scarlet sword with one hand, and uttered a few gray spells in his mouth, and then quickly pinched his hands with both hands. The black air on the surface of the body scrolled, and the body instantly became hazy.
The next moment, a strange scene appeared!
After a weird twist of Liu Ming's body, he unexpectedly flashed out of the dense sword shadow, as if he had not suffered any damage.
"What kind of exercise is this?"
When Sha Tongtian saw this, he was naturally surprised. He couldn't distinguish the situation before him. He simply pinched the sword tactics with both hands. After the dense cyan sword shadow not far away, it turned into a cyan rainbow and circled back. Lasing towards Liu Ming.
However, Liu Ming suddenly stepped on the ground with one foot, and the dim black light on his body surface, the whole person turned into a faint shadow, and shot out through the sand first.
Sha Tongtian sneered, and suddenly turned over with one hand, and suddenly there was another black faint in his hand, and immediately seven or eight sword lights rolled out against Liu Ming.
There was a "swish".
The phantom that Liu Ming turned into suddenly stretched like a rubber band, and then twisted a few times as if leaving a strip, and then floated out of the sword light.
Sha Tongtian shivered, and when he wanted to activate the small black sword in his hand, a flower appeared in front of him. Liu Ming, who was originally seven or eight feet away, rushed to his face paint vaguely.
Sha Tongtian paled in shock, and hurriedly flew back more than ten feet away with a shake of his shoulders, and then hovered down the ring.
But Liu Ming's dim black light disappeared, and he just stood still in place, just looking at it with a smile.
When Sha Tongtian saw this scene, even though his heart shape had always been deep, he couldn't help but feel a moment of uncertainty on his face. Then he raised his hand and retracted the other flying sword that he released, and said coldly:
"Accept defeat below."
Then he took the initiative to jump off the ring.
After seeing Liu Ming's even more bizarre body style, Sha Tongtian knew that he didn't have much chance of winning at all, but he surrendered quite simply.
Such a scene of the rabbit rising and falling, caused the disciples around watching without reacting for a while. When they heard the four words spit out from Sha Tongtian's mouth, they burst into an uproar.
At the same time, the two disciples of the Crystallization Stage who came with Sha Tongtian under the ring, although their expressions did not change, after a glance at each other, they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Not only did Liu Ming's swordsmanship not be in the shadow of the sand, his weird body skills were even more unheard of, and even the two who already had a crystal transformation could not completely see through it. Naturally, they were surprised in their hearts.
After a little bit of Liang Zhange in the sky above the ring, he proactively announced Liu Ming's victory.
But Sha Tongtian and these two companions immediately rose into the air without saying a word, and together drove the clouds out of the arena.
Although Liu Ming's expression on his face did not change at all, he thought to himself that this three-point shadow Dafa is really useful. Now it is just as mysterious as the first level, and I don’t know that after completing the second level, it will become After a few chaotic afterimages, there will be some miraculous effects.
He thought so, and after bowing to Liang Zhange, he also drifted away.
Not long after, Liu Ming, who was number one in the Outer Court Competition last year, was silent for two years, and easily defeated the inner disciple Sha Tongtian, which was passed on again among the disciples of Taiqing Sect, which naturally caused it again. It was a sensation.
But Liu Ming didn't care about these things at all. After returning to the cave, he entered the secret room again to continue practicing, and could not get out of the closed door.
Time passed slowly, and Liu Ming had been staying in the outer courtyard for several years.
During this period, apart from occasionally going to Fangshi, he almost never left the Dongfu, and never appeared in front of other outer disciples, and Xiaobi in the courtyard did not participate anymore.
In addition to alchemy, taking medicine and practicing secret techniques every day, he also insisted on entering the illusion every day to practice.
By proficiently using the first level of the newly learned three-point shadowing Dafa, the demonized Liu Ming now faces the Sea-Monster King of the True Pill Realm, and his winning rate is already higher than before.
With the passage of time, Liu Ming gradually faded out of the eyes of many people in Taiqingmen, leaving only some rumors related to it.
After all, in the Taizong, which has been inherited for thousands of years, the focus of everyone is very easy to be shifted.
Five years later.
In the Wanling Mountains, clouds and mist, thousands of tall and steep mountain peaks, just like the thousands of eternal years that have passed, still towering quietly.
In the mid-air, from time to time, there are strange lights rising from various peaks, hiding in another peak, leaving a faint trace in the mid-air.
Towering into the clouds, somewhere behind the misty peak of Yunhe, beside a crystal clear stream with fish swimming, is an exquisite attic built on the hillside.
Outside the attic at this moment, it seems to be covered by a blue water wave-like light curtain.
In the attic, a thick purple light is constantly expanding and contracting rhythmically, and when it touches the surrounding restrictions, it will cause blue ripples.
Not long after, with a clear sound that shook the valley, a giant purple beam of light suddenly rose up from the attic, broke through the blue light curtain above, and plunged straight into the clear sky above. The surface of the beam was purple, like clouds in the sky. hazy.
At the same time, in the mid-air around the beam of light, huge cloud vortices swept around the purple beam of light. Among them, a dozen or so purple balls of light could be seen faintly, arranged in a certain trajectory, bursting out like stars. The crystal light flickered.
"Mana is condensed into crystals!"
"This is someone who has advanced to the crystallization stage."
Behind this scene, the disciples of Misty Peak on the mountain lost their voices, some of them showed extremely enviable expressions.
Such a vast celestial phenomenon also attracted the attention of people from other nearby mountains. Some disciples of the inner sect walked out of the training ground one after another, drove the escape light to the top of several hills near Misty Peak, and pointed them.
On a wide platform adjacent to the top of the towering peak of the ethereal peak, light flies up from time to time and falls there.
On the platform at this time, more than a dozen people wearing the costumes of inner disciples gathered here.
If Liu Ming was here, he would definitely recognize Hou Kun, Zhao Anyin and others who had entered the inner gate after the last big competition. At this time, they looked at the celestial phenomenon that appeared on the Misty Peak with a fighting look. dignified.
In the crowd there was a young man with a long and narrow face, who stood out like a group of chickens. His body exuded astonishing fluctuations of sword aura. The mana had reached the stage of crystal transformation, and it was Sha Tongtian.
"I don’t know if it was Misty Peak’s fellow who advanced to the Crystallization Phase, causing such an astonishing phenomenon, but the power of the true essence was only condensed into eighteen mana crystals. It seems that the qualifications are very ordinary. This is really strange. Extreme thing!" The white-haired boy Hou Kun said with a sparkle in his eyes.
"In the past few years, Senior Brother Sha seems to be quite diligent in and out of Miaomiao Peak. He often communicates with Senior Sister Jialan about his cultivation experience, should he have some clues?" Zhao Anyin glanced at Sha Tongtian and said lightly.
Since this woman entered the inner door, she didn't know what kind of exercises she had practiced, which made all the scars on her face disappear, but now she looks a little bit more charming.
With his hands on his back, Sha Tongtian quietly looked at the direction of Misty Peak, but did not speak.
"Could it be... this person who transforms the crystal is Senior Sister Jialan?" Another inner disciple with thick eyebrows and big eyes nearby said in surprise.
"It didn't take long for Senior Sister Jialan to enter the inner gate. She actually cultivated to the point of condensing crystals so quickly." Hou Kun had obviously heard of Jialan's name, and said in surprise.
"Jialan is the body of the nightmare, and is a wizard of heaven who practices the way of illusion. In the late stage of the liquid, he has killed the monks in the crystal phase. , In one fell swoop to break through the condensate late stage Dzogchen, so that the crystal bottleneck can be resolved so quickly." Sha Tongtian finally spoke, but his eyes never left the direction of the misty peak.
"The body of the nightmare, but the best spirit body for practicing illusion?" Hou Kun's eyes flickered when he heard the words.
He himself was a five-element spirit body that was rare in a century, and he was naturally interested in the same rare Heavenly Nightmare spirit body.
Sha Tongtian didn't want to say any more, looking at the direction of Misty Peak, a trace of infatuation flashed in his eyes, and his eyes became a little blurred.
A few years ago, he accidentally saw Jia Lan at a ceremony at the inner door, and was shocked by the peerless appearance and strength of this junior sister. Since then, he has used various excuses to enter and leave the Misty Peak. However, Jia Lan But it has always been plain and plain, making him feel melancholy.
On another hidden tree on a steep mountain peak, Jin Tianci held a silver gourd in his hand and poured fine wine into his mouth. From time to time, he looked thoughtfully at the celestial phenomena appearing on the Misty Peak, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.
…
A few days later, the news that Jialan, a disciple of the Inner Sect of the Mistake Peak, successfully advanced to the Crystal Stage, slowly spread through the Taiqing Sect, which immediately attracted the attention of many interested people.
After all, Jialan's stunning appearance has always been talked about by many male disciples, and it is very eye-catching both inside and outside.
However, after the woman became a crystal, she couldn't get out of it for some reason, and after a while, the news gradually fell silent.
…
Six months later.
Liu Ming was sitting in the secret room of the cave mansion, playing with a dark jade pendant in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.
This jade pendant is dark in texture and looks neither wood nor gold, and its style is also very peculiar. A star pattern is inscribed on the front, but two seal scripts of Beidou are inscribed on the back.
This object is also one of the things Liu Ming found from his storage charm after slaying the Yin Yang Juli Demon.
It was he who scanned it with his spiritual sense at the time and didn't find anything special about it, so he thought it was just an ordinary magic weapon, and he put it in the corner of Xumijie without paying too much attention to it.
However, a few days ago, when Liu Ming went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to look up the classics, he accidentally saw the record about this object and was taken aback.
