Everlasting

Perhaps because he felt that this might be the last time they met, the old clan leader chatted with Chen Changyan, a clan brother who was almost the same age, for a long time. They talked about the past when they were young and recalled the past years with sadness.

Chen Nianzhi listened quietly and looked at the two of them quietly. Although he was young now, he still felt a sense of age rushing towards his face.

"If you don't become an immortal, you will eventually reach this point."

Chen Changyan sighed, but looked at Chen Nianzhi with some relief: "Fortunately, when I am about to die, I can still enjoy the past years in this paradise-like Lingzhou Lake, and there is still someone under whose knees I can fulfill my filial piety and die."

"Even if I die now, I will have no regrets in this life."

Chen Nianzhi smiled and shook his head: "Look what you said, I want to celebrate your birthday in two years."

The old uncle was getting older and his body couldn't stand the strain. He was already a little sleepy. After chatting for half an hour, he went to his room to rest.

At this time, the two of them finally began to prepare for the arrangement of the island protection formation.

Chen Changxuan first measured Lingzhou Lake, dismantled the Liangyi Rising Sun Formation, and then said with a smile: "I also set up this formation more than 20 years ago."

"At that time, I was still a second-level mid-level formation mage, and I didn't have enough knowledge in formations. Only when I look back today do I realize that the formations I deployed at that time had big flaws."

"Oh?" Chen Nianzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "How can I say this?"

The old patriarch shook his head and showed a bit of a smile: "The water energy of Lingzhou Lake is full of energy, but the Liangyi Rising Sun Formation I arranged has not been fully utilized at all."

"Today, it seems that if I rely on the power of my spiritual veins and the water element in the lake, I can set up a second-level mid-level water element formation, and its power may be enough to resist several mid-to-late-level foundation-building monks."

After he finished speaking, he took out the blue-grained steel and began to refine the array disk.

When it comes to refining array disks, the skill of weapon refining comes second, and the most important thing is the skill of formation.

The old patriarch had a high level of cultivation and was a second-level high-grade formation master. After only seven days of hard work, he had refined a second-level mid-grade formation disk.

After completing the formation disk, he said with a smile: "It's a pity that the material of this blue-grained steel is a little poor. Being able to refine a second-level mid-grade formation disk is already the limit. Otherwise, if it can be refined into a second-order high-grade formation disk, the power may be even higher." It’s a different world.”

Chen Nianzhi glanced at the formation disk and said with satisfaction: "The power of the formation is far greater than that of the same-level magic weapon. If there is a second-level high-grade formation, relying on the water veins and spiritual energy of Linghuzhou, I am afraid that the Zifu monks can also block it for a moment. ."

"I'm very satisfied to be able to reach the second level mid-level."

The old patriarch nodded, then held the array in his hand and said.

"Once this array is deployed, it can gather the power of water from Linghu Continent, enough to open a defensive light curtain. If activated with your cultivation level, it can withstand attacks from monks in the later stages of foundation building for several days without breaking."

"But it's unwise to be beaten passively. If you want to unleash the full power of Linghuzhou's water veins, it's best to have a second-level water-attributed offensive array."

"Water attribute offensive array?"

Chen Nianzhi frowned, and considering the importance of Linghu Continent, he still took out the Ming Yuan Xu Shen Sword.

Looking at the Mingyuan Virtual Divine Sword, the old patriarch nodded: "If you use this sword as a formation weapon, if you activate it, I'm afraid it will be enough to kill the late-stage foundation-building monks."

After obtaining the Ming Yuan Xu Shen Sword, the old patriarch began to arrange the formation in Linghu Continent. It took three days of effort to complete the arrangement.

Chen Nianzhi tried it and saw that the formation was activated, he immediately smiled. With this formation, the safety of Linghu Continent will be sufficiently guaranteed in the future.

After successfully arranging the formation, the old patriarch did not stay long and left Linghu Continent that day. He had to go to Pingyang City to take charge, and he would not leave easily in the future.

In the days that followed, Chen Nianzhi transformed the Hongmeng Purple Qi in Linghu Continent every day and practiced some natal magic weapons.

The two little ones, Xian Ling and Xian Yan, have grown up day by day and are now able to plant spiritual fields and take care of the green spiritual fish and purple-striped geese.

This made Chen Nianzhi feel free again. After practicing, he played the piano and played with the spiritual fish Ziyan, and he lived a happy life.

"..."

Time flies, day and night change without rest.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, in the retreat room of Lingzhou Lake, Chen Nianzhi slowly opened his eyes from the retreat.

"It's going well."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved slightly, showing a bit of joy.

His strength has increased a lot over the past year, and his greatest achievement is that his natal sword has reached the second-level mid-level.

The Lihuo Guixu Sword is indeed a superior sword. After breaking through to the second-level mid-level sword, it can already bloom with a six-foot-long sword light. Its power has been greatly increased. In terms of offensive capabilities, it is even close to the ordinary second-level high-level magic weapon.

In addition, his understanding of the Fiery Heavenly Sword is also progressing well. He estimates that if he continues at this speed, he will be able to get a first glimpse of the door before long, start to smelt Gengjin and Lihuo Qi, and start practicing this powerful attack. Cut magical powers.

"Continue to retreat first and learn this magical power in one go."

Thinking like this, he decided to understand this magical power before leaving seclusion, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the retreat room.

Chen Changyan actually pushed open the door and walked in, with a look of anxiety on his face and even a trace of bloodshot eyes in his pupils.

As soon as he saw his expression, Chen Nianzhi knew that something serious must have happened, otherwise the old uncle would not disturb him during his retreat, let alone push the door in anxiously.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi quickly stood up and supported him and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?"

Chen Changyan glanced at Chen Nianzhi and sent a letter over: "News from Pingyang County."

"Pingling Town must have encountered a demonic cultivator. There are more than 8,000 people in the entire town, but not a single one is alive."

"boom--"

Chen Nianzhi's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately used his flying sword and flew to Pingyang City.

The distance between Lingzhou Lake and Pingyang City is more than 6,000 miles. Fortunately, Chen Nianzhi's natal immortal sword has been upgraded to a higher level, and the speed is 30% faster.

He activated the flying sword and unleashed a six-foot-long sword light. In less than a day, he arrived at Pingling Town.

When he arrived at Pingling Town, he found that the entire town was covered with bloody corpses, and teams of black-armored guards were cleaning the town.

The old patriarch and Chen Qinghao were one step ahead of him and had been here for a long time.

After finding the two of them, Chen Nianzhi asked with red eyes: "Who did it?"

"We don't know yet." Chen Qinghao looked very unhappy and said with a livid face: "The person who did it is probably a late-stage foundation-building monk, otherwise it would be impossible to massacre Pingling Town before the clan leader could react."

"Could it be Old Demon Hong?"

The old patriarch said hesitantly, with some certainty in his tone.

Because among the enemies of the Chen family, only the old demon Xiu Hong has such strength.
