"But if I can form a mysterious sword array with eight mysterious flying swords, even without a sneak attack, I seem to be able to compete with the Thunder Eagle King."
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Chen Xi silently thought about today's two battles, and a little bit of realization came to his mind.
Actual combat is the sharpest whetstone for tempering martial arts cultivation.
The more dangerous the situation, the greater the potential can be improved. Any master must go through countless life and death experiences and survive in the face of death before he can grow up quickly.
The continuous killing of the Black Ape King and the Thunder Eagle King allowed Chen Xi to recognize his own strength. At the same time, he also discovered that his own shortcomings were that his cultivation level was too low. The cultivation level of Zifu One Star Realm would not be able to meet those martial arts cultivators. Because the monks who were on par with him had no choice but to run away.
To make up for this shortcoming, in addition to diligently practicing Qi Kung Fu, mastering some powerful attack methods is also a way.
"Each of the eight Xuanming Flying Swords has the power of the best yellow-level swords. It seems that I have to think about the way of talisman formations when I have time. If I can understand some enemy-killing skills of arranging sword formations, my strength should be improved by another level. stage."
Chen Xi pondered for a long time, shook his head, discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind, and began to practice cross-legged.
Crash... The spiritual liquid in the Octagonal Palace bottle poured out.
In the endless void space of Zi Mansion.
As Chen Xi performed the "Ice Crane Technique", streams of liquid true energy as crystal clear as black ice gurgled into the Zifu lake, and above the lake, the original dim true energy stars gradually became brighter. It is crystal clear and exudes a faint cold light, corresponding to the lake with every breath.
After advancing to the realm of Zifu, each time you advance to a stage, a true essence star will be condensed in the purple mansion. These true essence stars echo the true essence lake. The brighter they are, the more pure and condensed the true essence is. . After nine stars are condensed, a strange scene of nine stars will be formed on the Zifu Lake, just like an arch bridge built on the lake. At that time, you can prepare for the impact on the Huangting realm.
Moreover, the strength of the Zifu realm is actually crucially related to the Qi refining method one practices.
The rules of top qigong are different and can greatly expand the Zifu Lake. The bigger and deeper the Zifu Lake is, the more true energy is added behind it, and the more terrifying the power it exerts.
The true essence refined by the crude Qi refining method is not pure and concise, and it has little effect on expanding the Zifu Lake. The power displayed is of a general level. What is particularly important is that when the true energy cultivated in this way advances to a higher realm, it will become very difficult and extremely difficult to break through.
However, practicing top qi refining techniques consumes a lot of spiritual liquid. After all, the bigger and deeper the Zifu Lake is, and the brighter and more condensed the true energy stars are, the more true energy needs to be refined.
The "Ice Crane Technique" that Chen Xi practices is a qi-refining technique that Ji Yu helped him select. Although it is only a technique that reaches the ninth level of the Zi Mansion, it is a top-level technique that requires both quality and quantity of true energy. More than ordinary Zifu monks.
One day later.
When Chen Xi woke up from his training, he refined all the remaining 2,000 spiritual liquids in the Octagonal Palace bottle. Now, the true essence star in the Zifu space is extremely bright and dazzling, as if it were carved from ice and jade. , exuding a dazzling luster like ice crystals.
"Eternal liquid, spiritual liquid... Cultivation is indeed inseparable from the word "wealth". Those disciples of big families and sects have endless resources for cultivation. Naturally, their cultivation level has been rising all the way, far surpassing those who have no status. Ordinary cultivators with no status are left behind. It seems that if I want to quickly improve my strength, I have to collect more spiritual liquid... "
Two thousand kilograms of spiritual liquid was consumed in one day, and his cultivation level only increased a little. This made Chen Xi sigh with emotion. During the journey of cultivation, only four words: wealth, love, law, and land, but they are unbreakable truths from ancient times to the present. .
"Mukui." Chen Xi walked out of the cave.
"Senior, what's the matter?" Mukui, who was meditating under a green pine tree, quickly got up and asked respectfully.
"I'm going to Xiaoyueling. If I don't come back within three days, you should leave immediately and don't stay." Chen Xi said thoughtfully.
Mu Kui's heart trembled and he asked in astonishment: "Senior, are you going to kill King Kunpeng?"
Chen Xi shook his head and said, "Just save a few people." After saying that, he jumped up to the top of the cloud.
"Senior, wait a moment, this is the treasure left behind by the Black Ape King after his death. Please accept it." Mu Kui seemed to remember something, took out a storage bag, and shouted quickly.
"Leave it to you. If this trip is successful, I will also leave the deep mountains of Nanman. You can keep those treasures for self-defense."
The voice was faint and faint, and Chen Xi's figure had disappeared at the end of the sky.
"How could this happen? Did you just leave like this?"
Mu Kui was haunted and murmured to himself that he was extremely reluctant to let go of Chen Xi. In these days of contact, he had already sincerely convinced Chen Xi and treated Chen Xi as the master he would serve for the rest of his life.
"No, I can't just let it go like this. I have to practice hard. When I advance to the Zifu realm, I will go find Senior Chen Xi and make sure he accepts me!"
Mu Kui looked at the place where Chen Xi disappeared, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were full of determination.
evening.
Xiaoyueling, the majestic mountain range that looks like an ancient ferocious beast, is smeared with rich blood color under the afterglow of the setting sun, making it look increasingly desolate, bloody and majestic.
Whoosh!
Ten miles away from Xiaoyue Ridge, Chen Xi flew to the ground and raised his eyes towards Xiaoyue Ridge. He saw billowing demonic energy rising straight into the sky like wolf smoke, covering the sky and the sun, giving off an endless eerie and murderous look.
In the center of Xiaoyue Ridge, there are three extremely thick demonic auras that are the most eye-catching. They are condensed and undisturbed, standing motionless. Compared with them, the misty and smoke-like demonic auras nearby are like the beads of rice grains and the stars of the bright moon. gap.
Three demon kings? This is trouble!
The Black Ape King and the Thunder Eagle King have been killed by him. The whereabouts of the Xuanjing Old Turtle King are uncertain and elusive. The Qingqiu Fox King and the Kunpeng King are on the same level and will not be involved, so only Moon Lake Mo is left. King Jiao and the Green Python King of Luoxia Forest.
The Black Dragon King and the Green Python King are second only to the Thunder Eagle King in strength, but above the Black Ape King, if these two plus King Kunpeng are included, their chances of winning are already very slim.
what to do
Chen Xi thought for a moment, and finally decided to sneak over quietly and wait for an opportunity to make a move.
He couldn't just watch Du Qingxi and the others being in trouble, otherwise the guilt in his heart would be irreparable and would inevitably turn into inner demons, eroding the Taoist heart and interfering with his practice.
"Are you really going to save them?" Ji Yu suddenly appeared and asked seriously.
Chen Xi was startled, as if he didn't expect Ji Yu to appear at this time, but he still nodded firmly.
"Why?" Ji Yu continued to ask: "Did you know that they stood by and watched when you were in trouble? At best, your relationship is just an ordinary friend."
"When I was in the Sword Immortal Cave, the melee caused by killing Chai Letian caused them to get caught up in it. This incident made me feel a little guilty, and I want to make up for it." Chen Xi replied slowly.
"What if you die?" Ji Yu continued to ask.
Chen Xi seemed to have never thought about this problem. He was stunned for a moment and said in deep thought: "I feel that whether it is the way of heaven or the way of humanity, they all point directly to the human heart. If my heart is not at peace, I am afraid that I will leave the evil in my heart in the future. So even if I die, Yes, I will do the same. Senior, didn’t you say that you should abide by your true heart while cultivating the path to heaven?”
Hearing this, Ji Yu's weathered eyes welled up with a touch of easily detectable appreciation.
You must know that it is extremely rare to be able to remain calm in the face of danger, face a fatal disaster, and still be able to face your own heart and move forward bravely. This kind of state of mind cultivation is extremely rare. Ji Yu has seen so many amazing and beautiful people in these millions of years, including those who are powerful in the body refining stream of gods and demons, Nirvana masters, and peerless swordsmen... Which one is not both talented and talented? But when it comes to the solidity and tenacity of the state of mind, only a few can compare to Chen Xi.
After all, if your Taoist heart is not solid and your Taoist heart is not strong, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to reach the end of the road!
"With this state of mind, the great road can be achieved." Ji Yu left only eight words and then disappeared.
Is it possible to succeed? Let's talk about being able to walk out of this dragon pond and tiger's den... Chen Xi muttered to himself, and immediately moved his body, like a wisp of smoke, quietly approaching Xiaoyue Ridge ten miles away.
After a while.
Relying on the incomparable divine wind-turned-feather escape technique, Chen Xi managed to avoid the big demon and the little demon patrolling at the foot of the mountain. He quickly ran towards the top of Xiaoyue Ridge along a secluded path. When he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Suddenly the surrounding scenery changed drastically, as if it suddenly went from day to night. The surroundings were filled with magical fog, and only some terrain could be vaguely distinguished.
Wuwuwu... There were bursts of sharp wind sounds, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and there was actually a strange power in the sound that disturbed people's minds.
Formation!
Chen Xi's spiritual power had already reached an extremely high level, so he was not afraid of the interference from the voice. He looked around and instantly understood his situation, and his heart sank.
In an inconspicuous cave deep in the Nanman Mountains.
An elderly man with wrinkles, green clothes and silver hair sat cross-legged. In front of him, there was a broken copper coin. An obscure, mysterious, and cold breath escaped from the copper coin.
"It turns out to be a dragon when it is dragged into the abyss... It turns out to be the image of a dragon lurking in the abyss!"
Zizi... Zizi... Staring at the broken copper coins on the ground, an indescribable brilliance emerged from the old man's wrinkled and thin cheeks. Above his head, many mysterious scenes were vaguely revealed, like wisps of thunder. The electric arc condenses into cranes, dragons, snakes, galloping horses and other spiritual things. The divine light flows, mysterious and profound.
"Old turtle, I just got the news that the Black Ape and the Thunder Eagle were killed!" Suddenly a low and magnetic voice came into the cave, and then a man with long hair shawl, handsome face, and peach blossom eyes suddenly appeared Appear.
"No wonder... no wonder!" The old man was startled, his eyes still fixed on the broken copper coins on the ground, with a hint of surprise in his expression.
"You already know?" the man asked in surprise.
"Qingqiu, a great opportunity has come. If you can trust me, follow me to a place quickly." The old man stood up suddenly, holding a black crutch in his hand, and walked quickly outside.
