After the Fairy Sword Conference, a brief period of peace ushered in. Hua Qiangu followed Bai Zihua to the Jueqing Hall, Shuo Feng and Ni Mantian followed Luo Shiyi to practice in the Greedy Hall, and Jiang Chen practiced in the Dan Pavilion.
There is no time to cultivate immortality. In the blink of an eye, it lasted five years.
During this period, Jiang Chen had been practicing in the back mountain where the Dan Pavilion was located. He had been staying in the realm of creation. This was a rare opportunity. With his state of immortality, he could fully comprehend the mysteries of life and death.
Creation and destruction, two extreme forces, constantly intersect in his body, giving rise to various visions and allowing him to understand the deeper power of creation.
However, even though Jiang Chen cannot come out of seclusion, his reputation still spreads in the six realms. He is known as the number one genius in the immortal world, even better than Bai Zihua back then. Everyone thinks that within a hundred years, he will be He will ascend to immortality and become the most powerful person in the world.
Jiang Chen was also working hard in this direction. However, just when he was in seclusion and cultivating, preparing to ascend to immortality in one fell swoop, a big event happened in the immortal world.
Liuhuo Feitong killed Qian Mo's general, Chunqiu Bubai and others, and threatened to lead a demon coalition to attack the various factions in the fairy world on the 15th of next month.
Suddenly, all the sects were moved by it, and Changliu was no exception. Not only the disciples such as Luo Shiyi who had already become immortals, but also new disciples such as Jiang Chen, Shuo Feng, Hua Qiangu, and Ni Mantian were also shocked. Summoned to the meeting hall.
Bai Zihua, Mo Yan, and Shengxiao Mo stood high in the middle. Seeing the disciples gathered together, they said calmly: "The guardian sects of the artifact have been exposed one by one. The Chunqiu Bubai group threatened to lead the demon coalition to take it on the fifteenth day of next month. , but he sent war invitations to four major sects that were extremely far apart at the same time, but he didn’t know whether they were true or false. But with their strength, it was absolutely impossible to attack the four major sects at the same time. It is estimated that he did this on purpose. , I want to spread the support of each immortal sect, and then lead the army to focus on attacking one or two. The four sects are far apart from each other. Even if you travel thousands of miles, it will be difficult to catch up with the rescue. Although your cultivation is not at its peak, But he is already able to stand alone. Leading other disciples to go out to fight demons this time is also considered as a bit of experience!"
When the leader issued an order, everyone obeyed and became enlightened one after another.
Among the group of people, not to mention the eleven and older disciples, they had already arrived in the Immortal Realm. Jiang Chen understood the destiny and had profound skills, catching up with the Immortal. Shuo Feng, Ni Mantian, Hua Qiangu and others were not far behind either.
Shuo Feng was transformed into a fragment of the "Flame Water Jade" from the Shifang Divine Artifact. He had astonishing qualifications. In six or seven years, he had reached the peak of the Creation Realm and was only half a step away from ascending to immortality.
Although Ni Man Tian is not as dazzling as Shuo Feng, he has already reached the realm of creation.
As for Hua Qiangu, he is indeed the last god in the world, and he is also worthy of the title of the Son of Destiny. After studying under his master Liu Xian Baizi Hua, he has cultivated to the realm of creation in just five years, and the most important thing is , she has condensed her immortal body, and the magic power in her body is rich and should not be underestimated.
It has to be said that as the largest sect in the immortal world, Changliu Mountain today is full of talents, but many of these talents come from various sects. Therefore, when various sects are in trouble, Changliu naturally cannot just sit idly by and ignore them. More than a hundred elite disciples were sent out, divided into four groups, and rushed in four directions.
Four groups of disciples rushed to Shu Mountain in the extreme southwest, Tianshan Mountain in the extreme northwest, Changbai Mountain in the extreme northeast, and Taibai Mountain in the center.
Taibai Mountain is located in the center of the triangle formed by Shushan, Tianshan and Changbai Mountain. From this center, it radiates to Tianshan, Changbai Mountain and Shushan. Its geographical location is extremely important.
Therefore, the Immortal Realm poured the most troops into Taibai Mountain so that reinforcements could reach each faction quickly.
In addition to more than a dozen new disciples such as Jiang Chen, Shuo Feng, Ni Mantian, and Hua Qiangu, there were also ten masters of the Spiritual Immortal Realm led by Luo Shiyi, who rushed to Taibai Mountain in the center at starry night.
Originally, if the slowest person in their team could handle the sword at the same speed, traveling during the day and resting at night, it would only take ten days at most to fly from Changliu Mountain in the east of the East China Sea to Taibai Mountain. But now there is still more than a month before August 15th, but their group set off first. The main reason is that most of them are too young. Although they have learned a lot, they have almost no experience in fighting the enemy.
After many people enter the spiritual practice, they almost never step out of the mountain gate, let alone face the demons.
Therefore, the World Honored One, Moyan, specially asked Luo Shiyi to lead the group for a month, and after crossing the sea to the land, he gave up his sword and walked to Taibai Mountain. Along the way, he experienced the world, expanded his knowledge, slayed demons and demons, and accumulated a little bit of survival. experience.
Jiang Chen also agreed with this. These rookies really have to hone their skills. Otherwise, they have too little experience and fighting against the masters of the two realms of demons will just lead to their own death.
There are flowers and bones, and the fragrance is fragrant. It also happens to be July 14th, when the gates of hell are wide open and demons and ghosts are rampant. The disciples have been fully tempered.
Along the way, all kinds of monsters and beasts went crazy and attacked Jiang Chen and his party. They kept attacking, and they came one after another. No matter how hard they were killed, they couldn't finish them all.
Jiang Chen, Luo Shiyi and others all tacitly agreed not to take action and just watched Hua Qiangu and others slay the demons. At the beginning, they were still trembling and unable to cope with it. However, with the experience time and time again, everyone made rapid progress. Needless to say, their cultivation and magical powers increased. The key was the experience of facing the enemy in battle, which was very rare.
In this way, a group of people came to a country called "West Shu" during the continuous hardships. The emperor of this country, named Meng Xuanlang, was a former disciple of Changliu, and everyone was very familiar with it.
Meng Xuanlang was originally the prince of Western Shu, but he had no intention of gaining power. Instead, he went to Changliu to seek immortality and learn Taoism. However, on the eve of the Immortal Sword Conference, the Shu Kingdom rebelled. He had to leave Changliu and returned to the capital of Shu, where he was involved in the palace rebellion. Eventually he became the emperor of Shu.
At the beginning, when Meng Xuanlang was seeking Taoism in Changliu, he had good relations with Shuo Feng, Ni Mantian, Hua Qiangu, Qingshui, Luo Shiyi and others. He was least familiar with Jiang Chen because Jiang Chen devoted himself to Xiu, except for his host Hua Qiangu, rarely interacts with the disciples in the sect, so naturally he is not familiar with them.
With the emperor of Xishu as a friend, everyone was naturally served delicious food and drinks, but Jiang Chen's eyes flickered because he was thinking about Xishu's legendary sword, the Mercy Sword.
The Sword of Compassion is one of the ten ancient artifacts, representing "death" and "parting", used to kill to stop killing. The Mercy Sword is actually the cruelest sword. Anyone who sees blood will die, and everyone must be killed. Its mercy lies in the fact that those who die by the sword will not suffer at all.
Unfortunately, because this sword is in a sealed state, even Meng Xuanlang who holds it does not know that it is the legendary artifact Sword of Compassion.
However, what he didn't know, Jiang Chen knew clearly.
As his cultivation improves and his memory gradually recovers, Jiang Chen's understanding of this world is gradually increasing. Now that he knows that the Mercy Sword is right in front of him, how can he remain indifferent? After all, it has been several years since he fell into this world, and this is the first artifact he has seen!
That night, he quietly walked into Meng Xuanlang's room and exchanged the sword of mercy for a fairy sword made of fine gold.
Although Jiang Chen has not yet ascended to immortality, the immortal sword he forged based on his cultivation is no ordinary mortal product. It is powerful and is more than ten levels higher than the sealed Mercy Sword. In addition, his change of swords has connected the immortal sword with Meng Xuanlang's aura. When the human sword is united, even if Meng Xuanlang's cultivation is insufficient, he can still rely on the power of the immortal sword to rival ordinary immortals.
After receiving the Minsheng Sword, something unexpected happened. He did not put the artifact into the Xuding Cauldron. Instead, he took the time in his own body and used the black and yellow energy of heaven and earth to wear away the seal on the sword.
The Xuding is unique to practitioners in this world. It refers to a space where cultivators can store things and collect their treasures.
The Xuding is actually an innate part of the human body. It coexists with the physical body. According to specific techniques, it can be opened and used to store treasures after practicing Taoism.
The Xuding itself will not change, but whether it is a person or an artifact, it will become very small after entering the Xuding. Compared to the Xuding, it is like entering an infinite space, so the Xuding can hold a lot of things.
But in this world, the research on the Xu Cauldron is very deep. If the Mercy Sword is placed in the Xu Cauldron, it will inevitably not be discovered. Therefore, Jiang Chen will put it into the inner world. That is the world that belongs to Jiang Chen. Not to mention the immortals of this world, even the saints of the great world can hardly detect it.
However, although he was cautious, he seemed to be a little too cautious, because from the beginning to the end, Meng Xuanlang never noticed that the Minsheng Sword had been stolen.
After all, no matter what, he is also the emperor of a country. He has a sword hanging on his waist, which has more symbolic meaning. He will not feel anything strange about the sword when he casually draws it out of its sheath.
After resting for a few days, everyone left the capital and continued to Mount Taibai.
Along the way, Jiang Chen distracted himself and used the two qi of heaven and earth to destroy the seal on the sword of compassion. Although the secret of the two qi of heaven and earth, black and yellow, had not been completely solved, a small part of it had been unlocked.
"With the artifact in hand, this feeling of having power is really... not bad!"
Jiang Chen's face was full of smiles. He could sense that the power of this ancient artifact should not be underestimated. With the sword in his hand, he could even compete with the most powerful men like Bai Zihua and Sha Qianmo.
At night, when it was getting dark, everyone set up camp next to a mountain forest as usual, either hunting for water or collecting firewood to light a fire, each with their own tasks.
Hua Qiangu spent a long time collecting mushrooms, and when she was tired, she sat under a tree to rest.
"Xiao Gu, what are you doing?"
Jiang Chen came back from hunting and threw a wild boar he had hunted to other disciples to take care of. Seeing that Hua Qiangu seemed to be thinking, he stepped forward.
This little girl, after six or seven years, still has the same small body as that of a twelve or thirteen year old. She has not developed much, but her face has become more and more delicate. With a gentle squeeze, it seems as if she can squeeze out water, and her face is clear and dewy.
Over the years, she has studied under Bai Zihua, and not only has her magic power become more and more sophisticated, but her thin and petite body has also been restored, and she is so white and tender that it makes people feel distressed at the first sight.
"I'm thinking about Master. If I'm not here, he will definitely stop eating. In fact, it's better to eat more and be more popular. If there is no delicious food in life, half of the fun will be lost."
Seeing Jiang Chen approaching, Hua Qiangu quickly raised her head and smiled.
When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help shaking his head. Sister, if you leave the business of cultivating immortals and always think about falling in love with the master, you are not doing your job properly!
At this time, Tangbao popped out of Hua Qiangu’s ears and interjected: “If I didn’t sleep in my life, there would be no fun at all.”
Jiang Chen stretched out a hand and took Tangbao in his hand. With a move of his other hand, a small straw hat condensed into shape and was brought to Tangbao's head. He smiled and said: "Ha, don't you still have a bone mother? Why, Guangbao?" Thinking about sleeping, you don’t even care about your bones?”
"certainly not!"
The sugar baby pouted and said, "I love Mother Bones the most!"
"I love you too."
Hua Qiangu couldn't help but touch the sugar baby with her fingers, tickling it, which made the sugar baby laugh, and she herself laughed happily.
When Jiang Chen saw this, he couldn't help but smile.
Unexpectedly, they were smiling here, but Ni Mantian next to them looked a little amused and couldn't help but said: "Senior Brother Jiang, how many days do we have before we can reach Taibai Mountain?"
Unlike Hua Qiangu, Ni Mantian, who is already nineteen years old, has already fully grown, and she is becoming more and more beautiful, often making her many male disciples dizzy. Ever since she was defeated by Jiang Chen in the Immortal Sword Conference, her thoughts towards Jiang Chen had become more and more complicated, and later on, she could not help but develop a faint feeling for him.
In the past five years, although she had rarely interacted with Jiang Chen, every time they met, she could feel that Jiang Chen's cultivation was becoming more and more unfathomable, and the momentum and majesty of his body gradually made her fascinated. Therefore, seeing Jiang Chen talking and laughing with Hua Qiangu, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Soon!"
Jiang Chen responded calmly, and when he turned his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to have divine light that could see through everything in the world. The sky was filled with fright, and he quickly averted his eyes.
"Junior Brother Jiang, have you discovered anything?"
Luo Shiyi came over. At this time, he was frowning and looking around carefully: "I always feel that something is going to happen?"
"really."
Jiang Chen smiled calmly and said: "If I were a member of the Seven Kills Sect, I would definitely set up an ambush to target the Changliu disciples who support the various sects. This move is called encircling the point for reinforcements, and it is not a clever strategy."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Luo Shiyi nodded at first. When he realized what he was doing, he was shocked and said in surprise, "Junior Brother Jiang, you mean that Qisha will send someone to intercept and kill us?"
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "We have support from the Immortal Realm, so they intercepted and killed him on the way. In the final analysis, he still has to show his true strength." Anyway, he has not yet tested his new magical weapon!
Luo Shiyi did not dare to be careless, and passed down the order, asking all the disciples to concentrate on taking precautions. Sure enough, not long after, the world suddenly changed, and the roaring, murderous intent filled the air...
