After Ning Qi returned to Qingxu Jade City, he personally sat in the town and mobilized the entire city to rebuild the city, everyone was a warrior, coupled with concerted efforts, it took only ten days to bring this giant city back to life.

Then, Ning Qi wrote a recital of everything that happened here, sent people to fly pigeons to pass the book, and immediately sent it back to the capital of Daning, and praised the heroic spirit of the soldiers who defended the city to return to Japan, rewarded him greatly, and appointed Ma Mingyuan as the acting city lord of Qingxu Jade City, and other generals were also promoted.

As a sect elder, Zhan Chen could not accept the appointment, but he was also rewarded with a full 10,000 top-grade Yuan Stones for his outstanding achievements in the battle to defend the city, and received hero-like treatment, Ning Qi also granted him a full year's vacation, and rewarded him with a set of excellent courtyards in the city, so that he could recuperate.

After receiving this reward, Zhan Chen was overjoyed, it turned out that after a series of battles, he had already felt that his strength had been fully accumulated, if he could get a retreat at this time, he might be able to step into the middle level realm of Emperor Wu in one fell swoop!

So he rushed to his new residence with great interest, which was located in the western corner of the city, which was relatively remote, and there was basically no destruction by demon beasts before.

As soon as he arrived there, Zhan Chen was even more happy to see a courtyard house lying quietly among the shade of green trees. Take out the key to open the door, step into it, and see the birds and flowers all over the courtyard, a flourishing, so that people look relaxed and happy, forget how many sorrows and troubles.

Zhan Chen walked around for a while, and he was fully familiar with the basic functions of each room, and then he turned to the main hall, where there was a quiet and elegant cultivation room, only more than thirty square meters, and the spirit gathering array engraved in the room was only of a mid-level level.

However, this is already very precious to Zhan Chen, he now wants to break through the middle level of the Martial Emperor, he does not need much true yuan accumulation, but needs an epiphany, an opportunity to break through, and these inspirations have repeatedly appeared in the previous continuous battles, but at that time, he has been in a state of tension, wandering away from life and death, and there is no way to sort out these feelings.

Sweeping away the dust in the room and lighting a condensing incense, Zhan Chen sat quietly on the futon in the middle of the cultivation room, closed his eyes slightly, and began to run the "Chaos Golden Yuan Decision" over and over again, for more than 20 years, he has never stopped cultivating, and he has also been in retreat for three years, during which he has taken a lot of pills to improve his cultivation. At this time, his True Yuan accumulation had reached the peak of the Martial Emperor's initial rank.

Gradually, Zhan Chen entered a state of forgetting things and himself, and at this time, his thoughts had already explored the depths of his memory, and countless cultivation perceptions, combat experiences, and Dao Zhili surged into his heart like a spring, arranging and combining them at high speed in his heart, rearranging and rearranging them......

Suddenly, Zhan Chen seemed to have a new understanding of what is yin and yang, what is tai chi, and what is chaos, as his understanding of these continues to deepen, the yin and yang diagram in his dantian is also constantly being transformed, removing the redundant parts, and began to be highly condensed, but it began to become more and more, but the original vague Pisces lines on it have become more and more clear.

At this moment, the newly formed Yin-Yang Diagram began to spin at a high speed, and it turned faster and faster, forming a small black hole at the dantian, and began to frantically plunder the true yuan in his meridians.

"This is—it's about to break through!" Zhan Chen suddenly came to his senses, he hadn't been fully mentally prepared before, after all, in his previous impression, the bottleneck of the Martial Emperor's middle rank was so strong, he thought that he needed to put in more effort.

Since he was ready to break through the bottleneck, Zhan Chen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the pill and the best yuan stone from the Qiankun bag to absorb it, Rao was so close to being unable to keep up with the whale swallowing sea suck of the yin and yang diagram, and finally the yin and yang diagram swallowed 10 five-grade pills and a small half of the best yuan stone before reaching a saturated state.

At this moment, the Yin and Yang Diagram was suddenly forbidden, and then began to rotate in the opposite direction, gushing out a large amount of True Yuan, quickly rushing towards the bottleneck of the middle level of Emperor Wu, and with a light poke, it pierced the seemingly stubborn bottleneck, without encountering the slightest obstacle halfway, as if everything was natural and natural.

Breaking through to the realm of the middle level of Emperor Wu, the true yuan in Zhan Chen's body began to be condensed, becoming thicker, surging and galloping in the meridians, and transforming his body, his qi and blood became more abundant, the meridians were broadened to be wider and tougher, his bones became stronger, his thinking became more agile, and his strength increased by 100,000 catties, reaching 300,000 catties!

After the breakthrough was completed, Zhan Chen felt a lack of emptiness in his body again, and continued to replenish the true yuan with pills and yuan stones, and it took half a month to consolidate his cultivation; however, the breakthrough was not over, and the next step was to replenish the qi of sharp gold, which took two and a half months; it took nearly two months to open the eighteen acupoints of the second level of the "Spirit Aperture Yunyuan Technique".

When he walked out of this room again, it was already half a year later, and he had just seen the sun in the sky, Zhan Chen was still slightly uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted, clenched his fists, and felt an abundant power all over his body, and was overjoyed, as soon as he broke through, he was probably already the best in the middle rank of Emperor Wu.

Although Zhan Chen's strength was only 300,000 catties, when he fought, the efficiency he exerted was even more powerful and condensed than that of some ordinary Martial Emperor high-level cultivators, and the second weight of the "Spirit Technique Yunyuan Technique" increased his total amount of true yuan by a full fifty percent, coupled with all kinds of pressure methods, he was very sure that he was no longer inferior to a Martial Emperor high-level powerhouse.

Somehow, at this time, Zhan Chen's eyes seemed to see Zhou Ziru's handsome figure again, and his heart began to be eager to try, and he actually had the urge to find this genius to fight immediately.

But soon, he realized how ridiculous his childish competitive idea was!

"How could I have such thoughts?" Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly, probably he didn't realize that he had subconsciously regarded Zhou Ziru as a competitor.

After the breakthrough, he was in a good mood and went to the secluded woods on the outskirts of the city to try how much his strength had grown.

Facing the woods, Zhan Chen took out his long sword, and wanted to swing it immediately, but suddenly a cool breeze blew, making him feel a little chilly, and he saw a few dead leaves falling with the wind on the big tree in front of him.

In front of him, the scene of the battle in the Qingxu Jade City seemed to appear again, the corpses on and off the city wall, the wails and trembling of the suffering, wanting to resist fate, but unable to escape the helplessness of death. All of this turned into a staccato picture, like a movie, flashing in front of my eyes.

After that, his thoughts turned again, and the essence of the sword spectrum of "Silent Killing Sword" jumped into his heart again, and the scene of autumn transiting and all things withering seemed to unfold in front of him.

At this moment, Zhan Chen's heart had a new understanding of the terrifying power of "autumn". Yes, the artistic conception of autumn is just a natural phenomenon on the surface. But what is the essence of it? What it represents is the power of death, the power of fate that cannot be escaped! Before fate and death, all life is small.

He finally understood a little bit of the artistic conception of Qiuzhi, which was a powerful dominating power, and it was an incomparably domineering will.

Gradually, Zhan Chen's entire spiritual temperament became completely different from just now, his gaze became cold, and his momentum continued to rise, like a creator who was above all beings.

At this moment, he began to draw his sword, and as soon as he made a move, it was the first form of the Silent Killing Sword Sword Technique-Autumn Descending.

A fierce platinum sword qi swept across the jungle, with endless killing intent, and several trees were cut off by the roots, and the incision was thin and flat, which seemed to be no different from the killing effect caused by ordinary sword qi.

However, those who are proficient in martial arts will find that the vitality of these trees has been completely cut off, that is, no matter how much they are grafted and no amount of rebirth can bring them back to life. Sure enough, it was proven right away, and in a short time the canopy of the severed trees began to burn yellow, and the leaves on them began to fall off.

Suddenly, Zhan Chen returned to his original appearance, looked down at the completely dead trees on the ground, and thought for a long time before muttering: "What a domineering sword technique! Is this the power of a real Heaven Rank Intermediate Sword Technique? This set of Silent Killing Sword Techniques can really be described as a set of death sword techniques worthy of the name!"

Next, he performed the entire set of "Silent Killing Sword" from beginning to end, and comprehended the essence, this swordsmanship is another world in Zhan Chen's hands, the power of the thirteen styles is more powerful than the other, especially the last move, the Silent Killing Sword, splitting out a huge sword qi nearly twenty meters high, where it passed, hundreds of big trees turned into powder, and their vitality was cut off.

Seeing this, Zhan Chen was complacent again. Suddenly, he remembered the old drunkard's "Drunken Eight Immortal Sword", this set of swordsmanship is an upgradeable swordsmanship, can he use "Silent Killing Sword" to upgrade him to the level of the middle grade of the heavenly rank?

As soon as this idea was generated, Zhan Chen was excited, and the "Drunken Eight Immortal Sword" of the middle grade of the Heavenly Rank was paired with the Tai Chi sword intent that he had comprehended, wouldn't it be invincible!

Just do it, in the next nearly half a year, he spent almost all of his time trying to integrate "Silent Killing Sword" into "Drunken Eight Immortal Sword".

But in the end, the result he got was: It is impossible at all! It turns out that the artistic conception of "Silent Killing Sword" and the artistic conception of "Drunken Eight Immortal Sword" are completely opposite, which dooms them to be impossible to fuse.

However, through this attempt, Zhan Chen also had a major gain. In the end, he concluded: "It seems that not all swordsmanship can be combined with the "Drunken Eight Immortal Sword", I want to try my best to find those high-level swordsmanship that contains the spirit of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang, and combine it with the "Drunken Eight Immortal Sword", so that it is possible to make this set of swordsmanship with unlimited potential become more powerful!"

Seeing that the one-year vacation was over, Zhan Chen stayed at home and didn't know how Ning Qi would arrange himself next, of course, one thing he knew was clear, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely not let himself, a middle-level powerhouse of Emperor Wu, be idle.

Sure enough, on this day, an uninvited guest was ushered in at his home.
