Three days passed by in a flash. During these three days, Xiao Chen was consolidating his realm. If there was anything he didn't understand, he directly asked Liu Ruyue for advice.
Liu Ruyue had been in the realm of Martial Master much longer than Xiao Chen, so she had a lot of experience in this area and passed it on to Xiao Chen without reservation.
For example, how to condense the sword energy faster, and how to maximize the lethality with the least energy.
Xiao Chen's understanding was already high, but after taking calendula, his understanding became even higher. You can understand Liu Ruyue's answers in one go, and you can often draw inferences from one instance to another.
Xiao Chen has benefited a lot from many aspects and his strength has been greatly improved.
It's night, the sky is cloudless, and you can clearly see countless stars dotted in the night sky. At a glance, the night view is extraordinary.
Tomorrow is the time for the task to be released. Xiao Chen is not going to practice tonight and plans to have a good sleep to replenish his energy.
For cultivators, the effect of meditation is completely comparable to sleep in terms of rejuvenating the mind, so many warriors will use meditation instead of sleep.
Doing this will not hinder your mental health, but you will not be able to relax your mind and body. After all, when you are practicing, your mind is still clear, and you will feel any disturbance immediately.
Therefore, only by sleeping can the whole body truly relax, allowing the warrior's energy and spirit to completely return to its peak state.
Lying on the bed, Xiao Chen closed his eyes. After ten minutes with no distracting thoughts, his breathing became steady. His chest rose and fell with his breathing, and he slowly fell asleep.
In a daze, not knowing how much time had passed, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was not his familiar room.
There are clouds and mist all around, and the sun is shining brightly above my head. Looking around, I can see many figures and houses appearing in my eyes like ants. This is a peak somewhere in the Lingyun Mountains.
"Is this in my dream?" Xiao Chen thought hazily, because time and space didn't match up with his perception. The most important thing was that hazy feeling, which never went away.
Looking back, I happened to see the former peak master of Qingyun Peak, Liu Ruyue's father Liu Tianyu, sitting cross-legged on the rock.
On the old face that was weathered and full of ravines, he was calm and looked at Xiao Chen quietly, "You don't seem to be surprised."
Xiao Chen had long guessed that this person was invading his dream, so Xiao Chen was not too surprised. After all, the people in the Tiandao Pavilion could possess such strong mental power and easily break through his own defenses.
Apart from him, Xiao Chen really couldn't think of anyone else, and said calmly: "It's nothing strange, it's just that I'm not used to others invading my dreams for no reason, I'm sorry!"
As Xiao Chen finished speaking, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, the clouds rolled, and the entire space was like glass, shattering piece by piece.
On the top of Qingyun Peak, Liu Tianyu sat cross-legged on the rocks, with an unpredictable expression on his face, and murmured: "This boy's mental power is so strong. If you don't use a divine weapon, you can't stop him at all."
Under the night, Xiao Chen's figure kept flashing, leaping quickly towards the top of Qingyun Peak. He paused for a while on that cliff, then used gravity to climb up.
Xiao Chen landed on the top of the mountain again, and the scene was the same as what he saw in his dream. He looked at the old man on the rock and said, "If you come to me next time, I hope you won't invade my dream."
Everyone has their own privacy hidden deep in their dreams. If this privacy is viewed by others, it can become a weakness used by the opponent to attack one's own state of mind in battle.
Although it is very difficult to enter the deepest part of the dream, especially for a spiritually powerful warrior like Xiao Chen, it is even more difficult to enter.
And Liu Tianyu didn't do this, but Xiao Chen felt that it was dangerous and was still a little unhappy.
Liu Tianyu smiled faintly and did not answer Xiao Chen's question directly, "Do you remember what you promised me?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said: "Remember, as long as it is within the scope of my ability and does not go against my heart, it is okay."
"Do you know what the mission you are going to carry out tomorrow is?" Liu Tianyu looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Have you ever thought about why we need to control the quantity, stipulate the age, and issue the summoning order of the Sword Emperor?"
Naturally, I have thought about this, but the people above didn't want to say it. There were limited clues and it was impossible to guess the reason. The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth, and it was enough to face it calmly. Xiao Chen really didn't think much about this issue.
Now that Liu Tianyu asked this, could it be that the things he assigned to him would be related to this mission
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but said: "The things you arranged for me are not related to this mission, right?"
"That's right, I won't be merciful. It's the last day anyway, so there's no need to keep it a secret." Liu Tianyu said this, paused, and the expression on his face became solemn.
"You must have heard a little bit about the demonic calamity twenty years ago. What you heard is just the tip of the iceberg. The losses suffered by Tiandao Pavilion in that disaster were far greater than what the outside world rumored."
"One junior Martial Saint, ten Martial Emperors, and countless Martial Kings. The bigger loss is that the previous Pavilion Master of Tiandao Pavilion who had the best chance of being promoted to Martial Emperor in recent years has also passed away."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. One Martial Saint, ten Martial Emperors, and countless Martial Kings died.
Such a powerful force is enough to sweep across the entire Great Qin Kingdom. How terrifying a force it is to wipe out all these people.
Seeing the surprised expression on Xiao Chen's face, Liu Tianyu continued: "The power of those demons in the abyss demon world is much more terrifying than you imagine.
There are eighteen realms in the endless abyss, each realm is its own world. The smallest realm, the first realm, is several times larger than the entire Tianwu Continent.
Each realm is ruled by a realm lord. How powerful this realm lord is cannot be measured carefully based on the power level of Tianwu Continent.
What Tiandao Pavilion encountered at the beginning was only the lowest ranked demon general among the eighteen demon generals under the first realm master. Tiandao Pavilion tried its best, but failed to kill this demon general, so it could only seal it temporarily. "
Liu Tianyu eloquently told Xiao Chen a secret history from that year. The language was a little pale, but Xiao Chen could already imagine what kind of terrifying power it was.
If the Emperor Wu doesn't come out, even a demon general under the Realm Lord can't do anything.
Xiao Chen raised his head and asked: "You mean, our mission this time is related to the Abyss Demon Realm?"
Liu Tianyu nodded and said: "Yes, twenty years ago, Tiandao Pavilion only temporarily sealed the space crack, and it has not been completed until today."
It has not been completed. Xiao Chen asked doubtfully: "Didn't it say that the people from the Three Holy Lands would send people to complete the work every twenty years? Could it be that they have not been to Tiandao Pavilion for forty years? "
Liu Tianyu nodded and said: "As you said, it has been forty years since the Three Holy Lands came to Tiandao Pavilion."
"Why? Isn't it the duty of the Three Holy Lands to seal the cracks in space?" Xiao Chen asked in confusion.
"Responsibility?" Liu Tianyu said with a self-deprecating smile, "You are too naive. Do you think there are really such noble people in this world who ask for nothing and are full of kindness and help others everywhere
In the eyes of the Three Holy Lands, a small Tiandao Pavilion is nothing at all. They are the actual rulers of this continent.
Things should be prioritized, and even if they need to be dealt with, the big ones should be dealt with first. What seems to be an urgent matter to you may be nothing at all to the other person. Naturally, you should deal with important matters first.
In the past, the reason why the Three Holy Lands would send people here every twenty years was because there was a peerless genius in Tiandao Pavilion who could enter the realm of Emperor Martial before the age of fifty.
Being able to penetrate their eyes, now that the genius is dead, the other party may have long forgotten that there is a Tiandao Pavilion in Great Qin. "
Xiao Chen frowned and fell into deep thought. He never imagined that a simple matter could have so many unknown dark sides.
After sorting out his thoughts, Xiao Chen said: "Listen to what you said, what the Martial Saint and the Martial Emperor can't solve, I, a little Martial Lord, have no ability to do it."
"Martial Saint, Martial Emperor really can't do it, but you have forgotten your other identity, the descendant of the Thunder Emperor!" Liu Tianyu looked at Xiao Chen and said solemnly, "Thousands of years ago, the seal would have been complete, if it had not been for the Thunder Emperor If you take action, the seal cannot be destroyed at all. Thousands of years later, you have the responsibility, ability and obligation to solve the mess left by the Thunder Emperor."
Xiao Chen's face turned cold and he said coldly: "You don't have to keep using the name of the Thunder Emperor to suppress me. Although I am the descendant of the Thunder Emperor, I am not him. I hope you can understand one thing. The reason why I help you is all personal wishes.”
"If it is beyond my ability, I will choose to return it to you in another way. Your decision is obviously beyond my ability. I'm sorry that I can't accept it. Farewell!"
Even the Martial Saint couldn't solve the problem. How could he solve it if he went there? The other party clearly wanted to use his identity as the successor of the Thunder Emperor to threaten his own death.
"Do you really think that my scabbard was given to you casually? Or do you think that the pure thunder-attribute energy in your body without any impurities is just a coincidence? Do you really know that if you come to Heavenly Sword? What is the purpose of the pavilion?”
Just when Xiao Chen was about to jump off the cliff, Liu Tianyu's voice came slowly from behind.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but stopped, turned to look at Liu Tianyu, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Liu Tianyu did not answer Xiao Chen's question directly. He waved his hand and felt a huge suction force, pulling the Moon Shadow Knife from Xiao Chen's hand.
Swing! In the dark night, a piece of snow-white sword light flashed, suddenly shining on Xiao Chen's face, making him slightly uncomfortable.
Liu Tianyu looked at the snow-white Moon Shadow Sword and murmured: "It's a very good sword. It is fused with the second broken sword. It is much more powerful than the last time I saw it."
"It's a pity that the owner of the knife doesn't know how to use it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Tianyu threw the long knife in his hand into the dark sky, and endless lightning burst out from the blade.
Boom!
There was a burst of lightning and thunder, and the dazzling electric light tore the sky apart, leaving a void that became even darker at night.
Finally, the electric light condensed, and the light on the blade was restrained. The night where it passed was like a black cloth being split in half, falling to both sides.
Xiao Chen stared at all this with his mouth agape. This knife even split the sky.
