Turned a corner while ascending

Just when the people of Lianhuangzong arrived at Kunyuan Sword Gate, Jin and Bai Zhizhuo, who had been missing for more than 50 years and practiced in the cave in Wuzheng Mountain, had quietly returned to Kunyuan Sword Gate without causing any disturbance. people's attention.

Hmm... Although it didn't attract people's attention, the sword spirit woke up one.

Back at Dumu Peak, I first collected a bunch of messenger sword symbols that were chasing in the formation, and roughly scanned them. Most of them were Ye Buwang who asked "Have you come back?" Yes, he even received a sword talisman from Qionghua Taoist Sect, which said to Bai Zhizhuo by name that if there is anything unclear about his cultivation, he can go to Changmen Peak to find him.

In addition, it is Yu Congxiao's news.

Yu Congxiao stayed in Zangshu Pavilion at home for more than 30 years, and finally got something. He rushed back to do business, but found that the formation of Dumufeng Cave Mansion ruthlessly rejected him, and he could not contact either Jin Que or Bai Zhizhuo.

He had no choice but to fly the sword to pass the letter, leaving a message that he must meet when he came back, and left.

In the small medicine garden, although the lifespan is short, but the speed of reproduction is fast, the meat sesame fairy has changed nine generations, and the number has doubled several times. This place is more familiar with the environment and the atmosphere of the two masters. Before the two went to plant Duanyang Small heads popped out of the grass one after another, like a group of small mushrooms popping out of the reddish-brown soil. The black bean-sized eyes looked curiously at the two human monks.

"Hey, there are so many, let's take some to the Zhangshitang for some contribution points." Jin said happily.

At this time, he didn't know if it was related to the fourth grade of advancement, he had grown a little taller, and his appearance had finally faded a little. He had a slightly round almond face, his skin was white and glowing, and his cheeks were plump , slender eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, walking, sitting and lying demeanor finally has a bit of a graceful adult appearance.

And the most prominent is his temperament.

Like a pebble lying in the torrent, it has been moistened for a long time, and all the rough edges and corners have been worn away. It is no longer a random stone on the roadside, and it has become warm, smooth and shining.

Although the facial features are a bit more ordinary, even if he stands beside the more handsome and compelling Bai Zhizhuo, his brilliance will not be obscured at all.And Bai Zhizhuo... With the advancement to the fourth rank, his whole person seemed to be reborn, and he actually looked a little bit like when he saw it in the previous life.

But the strange thing is that Jin could feel that Bai Zhizhuo's aura not only didn't become sharper with the advancement, but restrained a little, and it was strangely similar to his aura.

Could it be because the two majored in the same exercises?

Jin couldn't figure it out, he wasn't a sword cultivator, and he didn't know whether this change was good or bad. When asked, Bai Zhizhuo only said it was fine, but refused to reveal too much.

However, Bai Zhizhuo, whose temperament has softened slightly, has added a different kind of attraction, especially to Jin Que. The performance is that Jin Que, who wakes up earlier than him in retreat, always stares at Bai Zhizhuo. Fascinated.

The two finished watching the small medicine garden, and while walking towards the peak, Jin said, "By the way, I had a dream when I was in the cave, it was a strange dream."

Bai Zhizhuo: "Is it a dream again? Did you see the sea of ​​stars again?"

Jin Que: "No, I saw a huge, very huge..." Before he could describe it, the unfinished words disappeared. On the branches, the eyes are so intense that they seem to set people on fire.

This little man is short and fat, wearing a moon-white bellyband, with a bald head and slightly reflective skin, just like a jade doll, obviously the sword spirit of Yujijian.

The two stopped and looked at each other. They didn't understand why Yujijian was waiting for them here. However, Jin was more concerned about: "How did you get in?"

Yujijian pursed his lips: "Is there any place in the world that old people can't go to?" While flicking his eyes back and forth, he said excitedly: "Not bad, you two have reached the fourth rank? It's just right, the secret realm of sealing spirit will open, I You can go to Fanzhen and ask him to give you two places."

Bai Zhizhuo never felt too happy about advancing to the fourth rank, because one thing was different from what he expected.

Jin had told him before that only after comprehending the Dao Seed of the fourth rank can he advance to the fifth rank, and the fifth rank monks can cultivate the soul split, which depends on the main soul to exist, and can only be used as an auxiliary cultivation at the fifth rank means.

For example, if a cultivator spends an hour absorbing spiritual power by himself, after having a divided soul, this absorption speed will be doubled directly. Originally, it would take a day of meditation to replenish the whole body's true energy, but with the help of a divided soul, it only takes half a day.

Bai Zhizhuo himself has a Nascent Soul, which is very similar to a split soul in terms of its existence and function. He is also very much looking forward to what will happen to him after he reaches the fourth rank, can communicate with his dantian, and releases his Nascent Soul. Mutation.

However, the facts gave him a heavy blow.

The moment he advanced to the fourth rank, the stars above Jiu Bingxing Chen Jian shone, surrounding him like a sun, and Tian Zhong's vigor went straight to the zenith, rushed into the upper dantian, and communicated with the Danyuan Dojo. Zhuo felt that his spiritual power had suddenly changed from a small puddle to a vast ocean, and he felt inexhaustible.

His field of vision seemed to be pulled into the sky, and his mind wandered in the endless void, free and easy, and the feeling of gaining power was so gratifying and inexplicable.

After a short period of excitement and excitement, Bai Zhizhuo plunged down from the sky, and as soon as he entered the dantian, his heart was filled with enthusiasm and was cooled down——

Nascent Soul, who thought he would be free by relying on the fourth grade, was still trapped in the dense crystal cage with wide eyes, unable to respond to his orders at all.

Bai Zhizhuo couldn't figure out why, but he and Jin tried for a long time, but the sequelae of crossing the Duanjie River - the crystallization disease, could not be completely resolved.

King guessed it was an alternative balancing act in this world.

If Bai Zhizhuo's Nascent Soul is really like a cultivator's soul, wouldn't Bai Zhizhuo have to go straight to rank-[-] as soon as he enters the fourth rank?Moreover, his Nascent Soul is not imaginary, it has a real entity, which is the symbol of the sixth-rank soul refining realm, so will it be directly promoted to the sixth-rank?

In the end, the two of them didn't discuss the reason, so they just let it go.

It is worth congratulating that Bai Zhizhuo's Xing Chen Jian has finally regained his freedom, and he can use all of them without having to be consonant.

Facing the very excited Yuji Sword, Bai Zhizhuo's response was: "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but the two of us don't intend to go to the Spirit Sealing Secret Realm."

"What?" Yujijian couldn't believe it, "Do you know what is the secret realm of sealing spirit?"

Bai Zhizhuo smiled slightly: "No matter what it is, no matter how many rare treasures it contains, neither of us intends to go there."

On the way back, the two of them agreed that they would first go to Xizhou to find the Lingshi mine, and then Jin could continue to study talismans while practicing.

Bai Zhizhuo can comprehend the meaning of the sword with his heart while cultivating. Secret realms and the like are not attractive to people like the two of them who have the seeds of the Dao.

Yujijian hated iron but steel: "You two little bastards, what kind of opportunity is there in Fengling Secret Realm, and you want to give up for nothing? Forget it, come with me!"

The little sword spirit turned into a ray of light, enveloping the two of them, broke through the barrier between the inner door and the outer door directly and brutally, and rushed into the inner door of Kunyuan Sword Sect.

The scenery here is picturesque.

After a few quick glances, Jin thought of it like this, it seems that whether it is Kunyuan Sword Gate or Zhaoxin Sect, there is always a place that fits all mortals' fantasies about "fairyland": fairy sounds are ethereal, clouds cover fog, flying The fairy flying away, the sky is always clear and bright.

Zhaoxinzong is Feidao Fushan, and Kunyuan Sword Gate is the inner gate.

I only had time to take a few glances, and with a whoosh, a flash of rainbow light flashed so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. When Yuji Sword put the two of them down, they had already passed through most of the inner door and stopped at Kun. To the east of the end of Yuan Jianmen, on a protruding rock above the rolling river.

"Look there." The little finger pointed.

But Bai Zhizhuo didn't wait for his order, and turned his gaze to that side almost as soon as he landed.

Jin followed the sword spirit's fingers and looked over.

Youji Mountain is basically high in the south and low in the north. Jintang Cliff stands alone, like a dragon's head. There are patches of high cliffs on the left and right, and the rocks are almost white and yellow. .

Their current position is opposite to a certain dragon's beard in the east, under their feet is the big river rushing eastward, and in front of them is a whole piece of clean and tidy cliff face as sharp as a knife.

These cliffs are almost white, standing upright like blades, one on top of the other.

None of this is shocking. What is shocking is that the cliff is either deep or shallow, up or down, and is full of sword marks!

This series of sword marks made people feel that there was endless sword energy rushing towards their faces with a very strong killing aura, but Jin almost looked away immediately after just one glance.

Turning his head, he was surprised to see endless sword marks engraved in Bai Zhizhuo's eyes. The expression on his face could be called fascinated, his eyes were fixed on the cliff face, his face changed from rosy to pale in a blink of an eye, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead , the body is stiff, it seems that in just a few breaths, it has turned into a stone man who can't breathe.

"This area is called Mingjin Cliff." Yujijian slapped Bai Zhizhuo's back with his small hand, Bai Zhizhuo was shocked, closed his eyes, turned his head, and stopped looking at the sword marks on the cliff.

"Boy, what do you think, can you get something?"

Bai Zhizhuo felt very tired. In this short moment, although his true energy was not damaged, it was as if he had fought with a sword-wielding person for [-] rounds in the spiritual world, and he was crushed to death with every move.

He said in a hoarse voice, "It's as if you're fighting against endless sword cultivators. You'll get something after struggling a little."

Yujijian proudly said: "You're the one who knows the goods. These sword marks are left by the sword cultivators who have comprehended the meaning of the sword in the past generations in the sect. They are used to inspire the younger generation. Only disciples who have reached the fourth-rank realm can come here to see. Only the core disciples of the inner sect can often come here to study."

Bai Zhizhuo: "I see."

Yuji Sword: "You should be able to feel that the effect of just one Mingjinya is comparable to the meticulous teaching of a master sword repairer, but the effect of ten or hundreds of Mingjinyas in the Secret Realm of Fengling can't match. It is not used to comprehend the sword meaning, but to comprehend the Dao.”
