In the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm, late at night, in the Sword God Sect’s ancestral hall, four days after Yan Liqiang entered the Sword Cave…
During the ceremony, the Ancestral Hall was indeed bustling and magnificent. However, after the ceremony, this spacious Ancestral Hall, which housed many spirit tablets, did have a feeling of being kept away from strangers at night, especially in the dead of night.
Tonight, outside the Ancestral Hall, the wind was howling and the snow was flying. The biting and sharp cold wind blew through the trees and rocks on the top of Tiankui Peak and the flying eaves on the roof of the Ancestral Hall, making a howling sound like ghosts and wolves howling. Inside the Ancestral Hall, it was silent and cold. Only the oil lamps in front of the rows of ancestral tablets were still lit, bringing faint light to the hall in the dark night. The tablets of the ancestors of the Sword God Sect, in the faint light, were bright or dim, revealing the dark red names of the deceased on the tablets, which was somewhat eerie.
Two disciples of the Sword God Sect, wearing purple robes, were on duty together in the main hall. They were sitting on two cushions in front of the tablets of the ancestors, with their eyes open, looking in the direction of the gate. Two long swords were placed on their knees.
In such a long night, as the people on duty at the Ancestral Hall, the two people could not fall asleep, so they could only keep watch and chat at the same time to pass the long night. The two people started talking about the heavenly calamity in Dijing, and unknowingly, they talked about Yan Liqiang.
…
"Senior Brother Luo, do you think Yan Liqiang can get some powerful secrets in the sword cave this time?" There were two disciples of the Sword God Sect who were on guard at night, one in his thirties and the other in his twenties. The one in his twenties called the one in his thirties "Senior Brother Luo."
"Of course that's certain. How could the sect master's vision be wrong? Even if we don't believe in Yan Liqiang, we have to believe that the sect master won't make a mistake in choosing someone!" Senior Brother Luo, who was in his thirties, nodded.
“Yan Liqiang is so lucky that he was noticed by the Sect Master…” said the young Sword God Sect disciple enviously.
The two people were chatting and didn't notice that at this moment, among the rows of oil lamps in front of the ancestral tablets behind them, the flame of the leftmost oil lamp swayed slightly due to the slight change in the air current. That oil lamp was more than 20 meters away from them, so the two Sword God Sect disciples who were on duty at the Ancestral Hall didn't notice it at all. Their spiritual perception had not reached that level yet.
"How can someone who is favored by the sect master have only a little bit of luck!" Brother Luo smiled and said softly, "Brother Qin and I are going to make a bet. I think when Yan Liqiang comes out of the sword cave this time, in a few years, we will have to call him Brother Yan when we see him!"
"Ah, Senior Brother Luo is so optimistic about Yan Liqiang? Does Senior Brother Luo think that Yan Liqiang can be compared with Senior Brothers Feixingjian in the future?"
The brother surnamed Luo was just about to open his mouth to tell him about some stories about Yan Liqiang that he had heard from a fellow brother from the Sihai Escort Agency yesterday, when a pitch-black sword tip appeared almost simultaneously from between his and the fellow brother Qin's eyebrows, and then disappeared like lightning.
The two people's expressions did not change, no sound was made, no blood was seen, and even the sitting posture of the two people did not change at all. All life was gone, except for a shallow sword mark in the middle of their eyebrows, which looked like an upright eye...
A man wearing a loose black robe, a black hood, holding a black sword in his hand, with only two scarlet and cold eyes showing through the gaps in the hood, was like a black shadow. At some point, he had stood behind the two men.
After taking a look at the two dead Sword God Sect disciples, the black shadow flashed to the entrance of the Sword Cave in the Grand Master Hall, and skillfully pressed a few times on the relief on the wall beside the entrance of the big iron door of the Sword Cave. The originally closed door of the Sword Cave slowly opened, and before the door of the Sword Cave was completely opened, the man flashed into the Sword Cave, and then the door of the Sword Cave slowly closed...
As soon as the black figure entered the sword cave, it rushed directly into the sword cave at lightning speed like a black shadow...
Just as the black figure rushed to the place where Yan Liqiang had seen a few days ago where there was a stone table, a sharp sword, amidst the blue fireflies-like light spots in the sword cave, came like a flash of lightning and struck the black figure directly on the head.
"Who!" A short and sharp shout was heard from the quiet sword cave. A master of the Sword God Sect who was in his sixties and was guarding the sword cave descended from the sky and slashed at the black figure with a sword.
The black shadow seemed to have expected to be blocked here. When the sword light appeared, the black shadow's scarlet eyes turned cold, and then his figure flew up in the air. In the air, his figure suddenly seemed to have an extra black shadow, and suddenly split into two. The black long sword in his hand suddenly turned into a large net composed of two black sword lights, which wrapped the lightning-like sword light falling from the air...
"Yes..." The deacon who fell from the sky only had time to let out a cry of surprise before he was covered by two black sword nets...
In just a moment, the sixty-year-old Sword God Sect master who was guarding the sword cave turned into a blood rain that fell down from the sky.
Before the blood rain landed, the black shadow had already rushed over. In less than two minutes, it had reached the bottom of the crystal tower.
The figure circled the crystal tower and came directly to the death door entrance of the crystal tower. Then the man took out a palm-sized spiritual energy array talisman that was flashing with a strange luster and stuck it on the word "death" on the death door. After just a few seconds, the shadow of the word "death" appeared on the spiritual energy array talisman, and the death door that was originally closed slowly opened, and then the figure flashed in.
…
For several days in a row, Yan Liqiang was on the ninth floor of the Crystal Tower, looking at the two secret books, completely fascinated.
Yan Liqiang had completely memorized the two secret books, "Combined Swordsmanship" and "Tai Yi Zhen Fu Jing", in his mind when he read them for the first time. But even so, when he read the "Tai Yi Zhen Fu Jing" carefully again on the ninth floor of the Crystal Tower in the past two days, Yan Liqiang could not extricate himself from it. He completely forgot about the time and never left the Tiandao Divine Realm again.
When he felt hungry, he would take a pill of fasting pills, and then continue to immerse himself in the various array talismans that used the nuclear crystals of exotic beasts as described in the "Tai Yi Zhen Fu Jing", and he would enter a state where he had no idea of the taste of meat for three months...
The "Combined Sword Technique" is indeed worthy of being the Sword God Sect's unique skill. Combining swords means combining the body with the sword and combining the sword with the Tao. When this skill is practiced to the extreme, the palm is the sword, the fist is the sword, the finger is the sword, the leg is the sword, the eye is the sword, the grass is the sword, the flower is the sword, the wind is the sword, the rain is the sword, everything in the world can be transformed into a sword for one to use. It is truly extremely powerful...
Needless to say, Yan Liqiang was delighted and excited to be able to obtain these two secret books at the same time in the crystal tower of the sword cave. Without a doubt, this was his greatest gain since entering the Heavenly Dao Divine Realm.
Yan Liqiang has been studying the "Taiyi Formation Talisman Scripture" for the past two days. His biggest gain and feeling is that he finally figured out the relationship between those exotic beast core crystals and formation talismans. Simply put, compared to formation talismans, those exotic beast core crystals are batteries, and formation talismans are a way to utilize the energy contained in the batteries, just like... just like... integrated circuits with various functions or various electrical appliances...
The biggest reason why the previous seventh level is a ninth-order magic square is that in the process of the array talisman utilizing the nuclear crystals of alien beasts, the energy within the array talisman must maintain a balance and circulation on a certain three-dimensional level. The structure of this balance and circulation is entirely an evolution and application of the mathematical principles of magic squares.
This time, without the blessing of the Yijing Xisuijing, and without any expert’s guidance, Yan Liqiang finished reading the Taiyizhen Fujing completely by his own ability. After reading the Taiyizhen Fujing, Yan Liqiang had a feeling that the Taiyizhen Fujing was just waiting for him to open it…
I am so happy and excited.
Yan Liqiang, who was immersed in the "Tai Yi Zhen Fu Jing", suddenly felt something in his heart and found some movement beside him. He turned his head and saw a man with a cold and depressing aura, wrapped in a black robe, holding a black sword in his hand. He didn't know when, he had stood at the entrance of the ninth floor of the Crystal Tower, looking at him with a strange look.
Yan Liqiang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and he tightly grasped the "Taizhen Formation Fujing" and "Hejianshu" in his hands, "Who is it..."
"You really exceeded my expectations. This time, I have to thank you very much. As a thank you, I will give you a quick death..." The man glanced at the two secret books in Yan Liqiang's hands with cold eyes, and then said something in a hoarse voice.
Yan Liqiang felt that the voice seemed a little familiar, but before he could remember who this person was, the next second, Yan Liqiang felt as if he was being pressed down by a mountain. He was suddenly locked by a powerful energy, and his muscles became a little stiff at this moment.
This is the breath of death. The last time Yan Liqiang smelled this breath was when he was in Pingxi City...
Yan Liqiang roared, his long hair stood on end, he drew out his sword, and all the strength and energy in his body burst out...
What Yan Liqiang saw was still that black sword that was like a mountain pressing down on his head...
The difference in realm between the two sides is really too great...
Everything in the entire crystal tower solidified, including time, space, the smallest matter, and even Yan Liqiang's thoughts.
boom…
The Heavenly Dao Divine Realm is shattered...
