The hurricane roared.
Sandstorms raged.
The vast expanse of desert is like a bad-tempered god, venting all his anger and resentment, unbridled and full of endless destructive power.
Here, there are mysterious ruins that have survived from ancient times, there are terrifying restrictions that make the Nirvana monks unable to get in and out, and there is a void that swallows all things.
This place is called the place of death!
However, today, there was a young man running through it as fast as the wind and lightning.
What's surprising is that those hurricanes that are enough to tear everything apart seem to have touched his body forever. Wherever he passes, no matter how ferocious and violent the wind is, it is like seeing the same kind, seeing his own partners, and gently avoiding them. Drive him and give him enough room to pass through.
The picture is very strange.
Facing the hurricane that roared like a dragon, even the Nirvana monk had to be careful, but this young man seemed to have walked into his own back garden, strolling around. If anyone saw this scene, their jaw would be dropped.
Unfortunately, he is now the only one in this land of death.
This person is naturally Chen Xi.
Mastering the complete meaning of the wind, he felt like he was seeing a gentle breeze when facing the monstrous hurricane, and he was not worried that anything would happen to him.
This is the power of Taoism.
However, there was yellow sand in the wind. The sand and dust were stirred up by the hurricane, like a rain of swords shooting out, with sharp and terrifying penetrating power. Chen Xi did not dare to compete with it, let alone in the air. Speeding is just using the power of the wind to run wildly.
"Now that my true energy is exhausted, fortunately my body is strong. I have traveled almost three thousand miles so far. If those six guys were chasing me, I am afraid they would have caught up with me long ago."
While running wildly, Chen Xi thought quickly in his mind. Although he was not afraid of the hurricanes around him, there were many terrifying and dangerous restrictions, ruins, and space cracks in the desert, and he did not dare to be careless.
Just now, he saw a crack in the void that was thousands of feet long, like a long and narrow scimitar hanging in the air. The pitch-black crack was so dark that it was so dark that it was heart-stopping. Things within ten miles of the nearby area could not reach it as long as they came close. It will be swallowed up without any sound or struggle. It is silent, but it is chilling.
"No, if this continues, my physical strength will eventually be exhausted. I must find a safe place to replenish my true energy and restore my own strength... Huh? What is that?"
Chen Xi glanced casually and suddenly saw a huge black shadow appearing in the far distance where the yellow sand was rolling. It was a hundred feet high. It stood motionless and did not look like a living thing.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a dark stone monument, piercing the sky like a spear or sword. Even under the erosion of the violent wind and sand, the surface of the stone monument was still smooth and complete, glowing with a strange cold light.
"Sword Tomb!"
Chen Xi raised his eyes and saw two large blood-colored characters on the stone tablet. The handwriting was wild and wild, with iron drawings and silver hooks, and a fierce and fierce aura rushed towards his face.
hiss!
Chen Xi felt his whole body tremble, as if he had been stabbed to the bone by needles, and his whole body was filled with chills. Thousands of wildly dancing sharp swords appeared in the sea of consciousness, causing his heart to pound, stars in his eyes, and he almost vomited blood, and quickly turned around Open your eyes and don't dare to take another look.
"This handwriting contains the terrifying spirit of swordsmanship. Although it is only a trace, it is full of unparalleled spirit to kill the world. I don't know which master left this monument. It is even better than the sword on the paper in the Sword Immortal Cave. The situation is a hundred times more terrifying!"
Chen Xi was horrified in his heart. He really couldn't imagine what level of cultivation a person with this level of swordsmanship had achieved.
Plop!
Chen Xi sat down in front of the stone monument. He discovered that those hurricanes and sandstorms would be dispersed and defeated by an invisible force as long as they came within ten feet of the stone monument. By hiding here, they could avoid the sandstorm.
"I don't know why this sword tomb appears here... That's all. I'd better restore my true energy first so that I can resist if something unexpected happens."
Chen Xi panted for a moment, sat cross-legged, took out the octagonal palace bottle from his arms, opened his mouth and sucked in, and a stream of spiritual liquid spurted out from the bottle.
Crash... Running the "Ice Crane Art", the long-depleted Zifu Great Lake frantically absorbed the spiritual liquid pouring into the body.
The Octagonal Palace bottle has now been replenished with three million kilograms of spiritual liquid, which was exchanged for the spiritual materials sold in Tianbao Tower in Lanhai City. In this vast desert where spiritual energy is exhausted, there is no need to worry about insufficient spiritual energy.
One day passed.
Chen Xi woke up from meditating, opened his mouth to exhale, and a stream of air shot out like an arrow. It was strong and concentrated, and it took a long time to disperse. Obviously, after this night of hard training, his strength has improved.
"In order to get the so-called treasure of the Sword Immortal Cave from themselves, Su Dingyi and the other six will definitely not let him go easily. Since they have not entered the Vast Sea Desert, they must be waiting outside for him to go out."
Chen Xi stood up and stretched his muscles, but frowned, "If this is the case, I will have to hide here, unless I have the strength to kill the six of them."
"Huh? What is this?"
Chen Xi suddenly saw that there were pitch-black stones scattered on the ground, the size of fingernails, all smooth and shiny, resembling black jade and agate.
He bent down and was about to pick one up, but unexpectedly, as soon as his fingers touched one of the black ones, a sharp breath rushed straight into his skin, making his body tremble suddenly as if struck by lightning.
"This is..." Chen Xi's eyes widened, a hint of surprise gradually appeared on his face, and his voice trembled uncontrollably, "It turns out to be the Star Soul Stone!"
He once heard Ji Yu say that in the ancient times, there was a treasure called the Star Soul Stone, which was the core thing bred from the broken stars in the sky. It contained stars as majestic as the sea. The evil spirit, using the Star Soul Stone to refine the body, has incredible miraculous effects.
Chen Xi's practice of "The Technique of Zhou Tian Xing Slaughter and Body Training" is to absorb the Zhou Tian Xing Sha to temper his body. Now he has already reached the realm of innate perfection, and is only one step away from advancing to the realm of the Purple Mansion.
However, this step is blocked by heaven and man. According to Ji Yu, this step is like a chasm or a chasm. Without the hard work and accumulation in the early stage, and without the illusory opportunity to break through, Zifu will not be touched at all. the edge of.
At this moment, in Chen Xi's view, the appearance of the Star Soul Stone is undoubtedly an opportunity for him to refine his body and advance to the Purple Mansion!
Wow! Hooray!
Chen Xi's hands were like shovels, and he dug into the thick yellow sand on the ground. He gathered the round and smooth star stones together in one place.
After a full stick of incense, he stopped what he was doing. Beside him, star stones the size of fingernails had piled up into a small mountain pile four feet high and three feet wide. It was roughly estimated that it would be too big to contain. There are more than five thousand!
"Star core! These are all the most essential parts of the star. One star soul stone is enough to be worth the star evil I absorbed from a month of hard training!"
"When I break through the body refining realm and advance to the Purple Mansion realm, I will be able to condense the star patterns and transform my witchcraft power. Most importantly, I will be able to break through the cave's restrictions and enter to meet Senior Ji Yu!"
The jade pendant in the flesh and blood of Chen Xi's palm was filled with a layer of restriction. If you want to enter the cave inside, you must refine both body and energy to the level of the Purple Mansion.
Similarly, this is also the minimum requirement for the first level of the Tianfeng Trial Land.
"No one will disturb you here, and sandstorms can't invade you. It's an excellent place for cultivation. I will refine my body here to reach the realm of Zifu, and then enter the cave to meet senior Ji Yu. If I can break through the Tianfeng In the first trial, you will definitely get many unexpected gains, and your strength will definitely be enhanced!"
Chen Xi was extremely excited. With a wave of his sleeves, all the Star Soul Stones on the ground were put into the storage ring. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a Star Soul Stone in each palm of his hands, and closed his eyes and ran the "Zhou Tianxing Slaughter Body Forging" Technique".
Boom!
The cold and sharp Xingsha was like a liquid river, rumbling into the flesh and blood, like thousands of fierce horses charging, the huge tearing force severely beating the flesh and blood membrane, and the originally solid and tough muscles trembled violently. Shrinking, frantically digesting this terrifying power.
At the same time, the power of the stars is integrated into the flesh, skin, and muscles, giving off a clear and clear luster, like porcelain that has been tempered in the furnace for a long time and is gradually becoming round and pliable.
On Chen Xi's back, wisps of faint texture lines emerged, vague, blurry, sometimes absent, and looked extremely mysterious.
Refining the body to advance to the realm of the Purple Mansion is full of difficulties and dangers, but there is no one among them. However, as long as you cross this threshold, witch marks will be condensed between the skin of the whole body. These witch marks will produce different witch mark patterns based on different techniques.
Like some physical practices that use the earth's core flames to temper the body, the witch pattern is a flame pattern, which can absorb the fire evil and fire energy and transform it into witchcraft power within the body.
Chen Xi used Zhoutian Xingsha to temper his body. As long as he advanced to the Zifu realm, the star map witch patterns would condense on the surface of his skin, turning the star evil into witchcraft power, which was extremely mysterious.
The realm of body refining Zifu is also divided into nine levels. One star map witch pattern condensed represents the first level of Zifu. Nine star map shaman patterns condensed into the ninth level Zifu body refining. At this level, you can open the witch pattern acupoints and attack the realm of Huang Ting.
However, for Chen Xi now, what he needs is to move from innate to Zifu. For a Qi practitioner, opening up the Purple Mansion is to lay the foundation of the Great Dao, while for a Body Refiner, advancing to the Purple Mansion means laying the foundation for the sanctification of the physical body. Both have their own merits, but they both lead to the Great Dao and reach the same destination through different paths.
Chen Xi just sat quietly like this, with the inside and outside being clear and reflecting each other, unaware of the passage of time... A month passed like this.
After practicing for a month continuously, the power of Chen Xi's flesh and skin became more and more profound and agile. His muscles and bones were like jade, his flesh and blood were condensed, and a misty and clear luster flowed through it, making it crystal clear. But he still couldn't take the last step, so that the increasingly clear witch patterns on his back condensed together to form a star pattern.
It's like a layer of windows that can never be opened.
However, he was not in a hurry. Whenever he got impatient during his training, he would stop running, stand up, and walk around the Sword Tomb Stele, observing this towering stone monument that was nearly a hundred feet high.
The texture of this stone tablet is neither gold nor iron, neither jade nor wood. Its surface is smooth and dark, exuding a strange power. Its silence blocks the attacks of the surrounding storms, making it appear extremely mysterious.
Chen Xi took advantage of his free time to once again look at the two large characters on the stone tablet that looked like iron paintings and silver hooks. He only took a few breaths each time, but he gradually understood something.
These two big characters contained the supreme and terrifying true meaning of swordsmanship. Although there was only a trace of it, it made Chen Xi feel like a vast ocean, hiding endless mysteries. It broadened his horizons and made him feel admiration.
Another month has passed.
On this day, Chen Xi was trying to figure out the true meaning of swordsmanship on the stone tablet, and his heart suddenly trembled. He vaguely seemed to have caught an opportunity to break through, and this feeling became stronger and stronger.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xi no longer hesitated, sitting cross-legged, holding a star soul stone in each hand, and running the technique.
