The rain poured down in torrents.
The sky was gray and the clouds were low.
The border between Qingzhou and Beizhou is relatively deserted, and the surrounding vegetation is as sparse as your hair.
The big raindrops hit the slightly hard mud directly, and then splashed with tiny water splashes.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him appeared too suddenly, but the strange thing was that although a big living person suddenly appeared in front of him, Lu Chaoge didn't feel that the scene in front of him was so abrupt.
The other party stood in the rain and did not deliberately use a barrier to isolate the raindrops, but his whole body was not wet by the rain.
Lu Chaoge let the heavy rain wash away the blood on his face and body, making his black hair wet and clinging to his forehead.
One is elegant and gentle, as gentle as jade.
A casual, bohemian person.
Even the robes worn by the two are obviously different.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar is wearing a white Confucian shirt, while Lu Chaoge is wearing a black robe.
Lu Chaoge knew who he was, but he didn't expect him to appear in this place.
Lu Chaoge also thought that he would eventually meet the middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him, but he never thought that it would be today and in such a scene.
The strongest of the younger generation in Qingzhou and the real strongest in Qingzhou met in the heavy rain.
… …
… …
The hillside at the junction of Qingzhou and Beizhou is covered with long swords.
A beautiful hillside turned into a sword mountain.
Those sword cultivators and players who were forced to borrow swords by Zhao Zhiqi went up the mountain to look for their natal swords.
After pulling the sword out of the mountain, they all felt the emotions of the sword spirit.
There is awe, fear, disgust... very complex emotions.
This made them unable to help but glance at the barrier not far away after sheathing their swords.
The heavy rain was still falling, and layers of thick fog formed around the barrier, making it difficult to see clearly what was happening inside.
But everyone knew that Lu Chaoge was inside.
It turns out that the giant sword that spanned the world just now was caused by Lu Chaoge.
Just now, there was an evil spirit who forcibly took away everyone's natal swords, but the evil spirit was killed by Lu Chaoge!
But how did he do it
Although there were no great practitioners present, there were several fourth-level sword cultivators.
There is even a Fourth Level Dzogchen.
The short Puchou sword cultivator frowned and said, "When the sword was taken away from me before, I didn't even have time to react, and I couldn't put up any resistance."
As soon as he said these words, everyone around him was immediately frightened.
Taking away a thousand natal swords at the same time is a terrible thing.
And in this case, even the sword cultivator in the fourth level of Dzogchen is completely unable to resist. So, how high should the cultivation level of the person who takes the sword be
It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary fifth realm to do this.
If nothing unexpected happens, it may be the existence of the sixth realm!
"Lu Chaoge actually killed a sixth-level expert!?" As soon as this idea came up, everyone found it unbelievable.
In the sixth realm, among the four major sects, they are all deacons and elders!
Many of the sword cultivators present did not have such a strong person in their sect. Maybe the sect leader was just a fifth-level great sword cultivator, or even lower.
If Lu Chaoge can really kill the Sixth Realm with his own strength, then doesn't this mean... Lu Chaoge can kill the clan!
He can fight against our entire sect on his own!
"No, no, probably not, haha, hahahaha." Many sword cultivators laughed a few times, feeling that everyone's discussion was a bit too exaggerated.
According to rumors, Lu Chaoge's cultivation level is at the fourth level.
The fourth realm kills the sixth realm? Isn’t that nonsense!
Although they all thought so in their hearts, they took a look at their natal swords and felt that something was wrong.
Because the sword spirit's fear and awe largely come from Lu Chaoge!
"What happened in the barrier just now!" The sword cultivators were itching and extremely curious.
As for the sand sculpture players, they immediately started going crazy.
"Where are the war reporters? Where are today's war reporters!?"
"Damn it, what happened in there!"
"Mystery, this damn mystery, this man is so addictive!"
There was a heated discussion about this matter on the forum immediately. The group of Momen players began to be targeted by other players, but... What did the leader do that has nothing to do with us
Why do you think that we Momen disciples know more than you
By the way, what we usually receive is second-hand information circulated in the world...
In fact, no one knew. That was because Lu Chaoge himself had not thought about whether the killing of Zhao Zhiqi would be made public or whether the aftermath would be handled cleanly without anyone noticing.
After all, it was the elder of Chunqiu Mountain who died, and there must be some chain reactions.
But the appearance of the middle-aged Confucian scholar made everything different again.
At least there's no way he can remain unnoticed unless he is killed.
But how to kill this
The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at Lu Chaoge, still with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "You are in a very bad state now."
Lu Chaoge nodded. Naturally, it was impossible for him to hide his current situation from the eyes of the person in front of him.
"I come from the Black Bamboo Forest of the Sword Sect and am Ji Changkong's senior brother." The middle-aged Confucian scholar briefly introduced himself to Lu Chaoge.
Lu Chaoge already knew his identity when he saw him. At this moment, he just looked at him and nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Senior Sword Master."
In fact, in terms of seniority, he could barely call him uncle. After all, Ji Changkong was a master of swordsmanship to him.
The smile on the middle-aged Confucian scholar's face became gentler. He nodded slightly and said to Lu Chaoge, "Why don't you just stay here in seclusion, and I will protect you."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Chaoge had no intention of rejecting them.
It's not safe to find a place to retreat anywhere near here.
He is afraid that this retreat will not be solved in a short time. There is no one around to protect him, which makes him really uneasy.
And if a middle-aged Confucian scholar protects the Dharma, the treatment is simply unparalleled.
Complete peace of mind, nothing to worry about.
And it can be seen from this that even though he killed an elder of Chunqiu Mountain in front of him, he didn't seem to take it to heart.
After thinking about this, Lu Chaoge glanced at Zhao Zhiqi's body on the ground.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar seemed to understand his thoughts and said: "Since he wants to kill you, it is only right that you kill him in return."
It seems to be a very simple truth, but it also has obvious favoritism.
After all, the middle-aged Confucian scholar obviously had no idea why Zhao Zhiqi wanted to kill Lu Chaoge.
Holding the scroll in his hand, he sat down on a stone and said: "Over at Chunqiu Mountain, I will carry out flying sword transfers. You don't need to worry about the subsequent trivial matters."
Lu Chaoge raised his head and felt that the middle-aged Confucian scholar treated him a little too well.
This is tantamount to him intervening and dealing with the matter directly.
Lu Chaoge only needs to write a letter when the time comes.
After all, the identity of Zhao Zhiqi's second and fifth son is actually traceable, otherwise the players would not have discovered it later.
It's just that he hasn't shown any signs of it yet.
Regarding this matter, Lu Chaoge actually didn't have much worry. On the contrary, it was the attitude of the middle-aged Confucian scholar that made him more concerned.
"Is it because of Xiaolizi?" Lu Chaoge thought, "So he treats me as a junior?"
But his intuition told him that it should be more than that.
"Then I'll trouble you, senior." Lu Chaoge said.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar sitting on the stone has already opened the book in his hand.
His meaning is obvious, he wants to read a book, and you can also start to meditate and retreat.
Lu Chaoge glanced at him and saw that after he opened the book, he took out a bamboo leaf, a black bamboo leaf, from the inside page.
Bamboo leaves must have come from the Black Bamboo Forest, and he used them as bookmarks.
After Lu Chaoge glanced at the ordinary black bamboo leaves, he sat cross-legged on the spot. The dark gold in his eyes dissipated like the ebbing tide, turning into the original black eyes.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
"Let's collect the reward for the promotion mission first." Lu Chaoge said in his heart.
…..
…..
Thick fog is still drifting around, but the heavy rain in the sky has quietly stopped.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand, which was called "Stories of Strange Beasts".
In fact, with his extensive knowledge, he has seen most of the strange beasts in the book.
But he just loves reading books.
Before being taken to the mountain by his master, reading was his only hobby. It wasn't until he had a sword in his hand that he added another hobby.
Moreover, it is actually quite interesting to read other people's descriptions of strange beasts.
Although... many places in this book are actually wrong.
Time passed minute by minute, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar read very slowly.
He always reads very slowly. Sometimes when he is halfway through the book, he will turn forward a few pages and then read it again.
But fortunately, he was not short of time, so it didn't matter if he watched a little slower.
As he watched, the middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly raised his head and glanced at Lu Chaoge, who was sitting cross-legged not far away.
"Huh? Are you going to condense your own sword domain?" the middle-aged Confucian scholar said.
When practitioners reach the fourth level of Dzogchen, they will encounter a big bottleneck.
Once this layer of membrane is broken through, it will be a matter of course and complete transformation.
Not only does his cultivation skyrocket, but he can also form his own [domain].
Normally, when a practitioner reaches the fourth level of Dzogchen, he will already have a certain degree of understanding of the [Region].
But there are deep and shallow perceptions, and they vary from person to person.
After the bottleneck is broken and the fifth realm is reached, it can slowly take shape.
Yes, [Domain] does not naturally arise after reaching the fifth realm.
Only when you reach the fifth realm can you have your own [domain].
Just like some sword cultivators, when they reach the fifth level of second heaven, their sword realm may not be fully formed yet. It still depends on how deep their understanding is.
However, for those geniuses and talented people, many of them took shape immediately after reaching the fifth realm.
Therefore, the middle-aged Confucian scholar was not surprised by the scene before him.
Since Lu Chaoge was able to cultivate his sword intention to the fifth level when he was in the fourth realm, he must have had his own profound understanding and insights into the way of swordsmanship.
Then, naturally, he was just one step away from [Sword Domain].
"What will his sword realm look like?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar was a little curious.
A stick of incense passed in time, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar's right hand holding the scroll shook slightly, and he turned to look at Lu Chaoge in surprise.
"There is such a rogue [Sword Domain] in this world!?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar was a little dumbfounded.
He was a little confused as to why such a sword realm was created.
The most outrageous thing is, why does this kind of sword realm exist
Just now, the middle-aged Confucian scholar felt that the power in his body was inexplicably missing.
And this power is heading towards Lu Chaoge's sword realm that is about to be fully formed.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar let go of his spiritual consciousness and felt his surroundings.
He found that with Lu Chaoge as the center, everything in the world within a radius of one mile had been stolen by this "thief"!
Everything in the world has its own [power], but this power was allowed to be stolen by the young swordsman in front of him.
Although what he stole was not much, or a drop in the bucket, this move was outrageous and broke people's perception.
In fact, if the middle-aged Confucian scholar had not reached a very terrifying state due to his advanced cultivation, he would have the ability to "see everything clearly". Otherwise, if it is just a little bit missing, it may really be ignored.
However, don't underestimate this.
This is the principle of gathering sand to form a tower.
Within a radius of one mile, vegetation, animals, practitioners...even stones, sand, wind...no matter what they are, will be stolen by him!
And the blessing caused by the gathering of these powers is his [Sword Domain]!
This theft is still a kind of continuous theft.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar can feel that the power in his body is being stolen at an extremely slow speed and continues to be stolen.
"Such an alternative, such a rogue, and such an unreasonable sword realm is really unexpected." The middle-aged Confucian scholar marveled.
In his opinion, this is already considered a superior sword realm among sword realms.
With the blessing of this kind of sword domain, it will be difficult for sword cultivators to suffer from exhaustion.
While outputting and nourishing at the same time, sometimes a delicate balance can be maintained.
To put it simply, it is a bit like [stealing blue] from all around, and then [returning blue] to yourself to ensure that you will not run out of blue.
"It has such miraculous effects just after it was formed. If it is improved in the future..." The middle-aged Confucian scholar thought about it and found it very interesting.
At the same time, he was more curious about whether this sword domain could be used by a single person.
For example, when stealing, only steal the power within a person.
If possible, would the theft be more intensive when used on a single person
Another point is that he can only steal power within a one-mile radius now, but what about in the future
Can this scope be continuously expanded
And from the current point of view, there is a limit to the power that this sword domain can absorb. This upper limit can be strengthened in the future.
In the eyes of middle-aged Confucian scholars, the potential of this sword domain is very considerable.
To be precise, if the upper limit is high enough, this sword realm will be extremely terrifying!
If he had no upper limit, it would be stealing from heaven and earth!
The middle-aged Confucian scholar shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He lowered his head and continued to read the "Stories of Strange Beasts" in his hand.
Lu Chaoge should still spend some time, so why not continue reading.
He already loves books to the point where he can't put them down.
However, after about half a stick of incense had passed, the middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly stood up from the stone and closed the page of the book.
The sudden strange situation in front of him made him unable to look into it.
This book is unreadable!
"How could this be?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at the young man in black robe sitting cross-legged.
Because a new breath actually emerged from Lu Chaoge's body!
