Chapter 607: Burial Sword Valley (Part I)
"I won, I actually won!" Zhan Chen looked at Xu Huang'er who fell to the ground, still not believing that he had won, but the referee's announcement seemed to be still echoing in his ears, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses, slowly close his eyes, and a trace of tears of joy appeared in the corners of his eyes.
At this time, the referee came to Xu Huang'er's side, gave her a sigh of relief, and woke her up, but although Xu Huang'er was already awake, her soul didn't seem to have returned to her body, and her eyes were dull.
This is the first time she has lost to her peers, and she has lost to a person who is weaker than herself, why did she lose? She is obviously in her heyday, and Zhan Chen does not have overwhelming hole cards, it can be said that she lost in a fair battle, she doesn't understand what she did wrong?!
Zhan Chen looked at Xu Huang'er, looking at her with a stunned look, as if he understood what she was thinking, and couldn't help but say to her: "Xu Huang'er, you don't seem to understand why I won." I'll tell you, yes, in battle, you have an absolute advantage from beginning to end, and I can only be beaten passively. But the reason why I won in the end was because I was more patient than you, and you wanted to win too much, so I was in a hurry, and I didn't give full play to my dexterous advantages, and chose the way I wanted to fight the most, that is, to directly collide with power, so you gradually lost the opportunity, and I had a chance to win!"
Zhan Chen's words woke Xu Huang'er up suddenly, she couldn't help but look at Zhan Chen, her beautiful eyes were full of unwillingness, and said: "Zhan Chen, I remember your name, I will never lose next time!"
Zhan Chen smiled confidently and said, "Okay, I'm waiting for you to come to the door to challenge, but you have to remember that I am making rapid progress, and the next time we meet, you don't want to suppress me!" Then he turned around and walked down the Nine Battles Peak without looking back.
Let's say that Zhan Chen returned to the Watching Mountain, and the viewing platform was already completely boiling, full of praise, cheers, screams, and even some people ran to hug Zhan Chen, completely reduced to a sea of joy.
Zhan Chen had never seen such a grand welcome scene, and suddenly had a feeling of being overwhelmed, and began to keep shaking hands, hugging non-stop, and walking from the audience to the position of the Linghe Sect team was only a few hundred meters, but it was this short distance of hundreds of meters that he walked for nearly half an hour!
Finally returned to the territory, Zhuang Weiye greeted him again, at this time, the old sect master was already trembling with excitement, patting Zhan Chen's shoulder and speaking incoherently: "Zhan Chen, I didn't expect you to really do it, you are the hero of our sect, the pride of our sect!"
Zhan Chen's heart was naturally extremely excited, but he still tried his best to keep his expression as usual, and said: "Sect Master, I said that if you want to fight, you must fight for the first, and I did it!"
Just as the audience was in an uproar, Lu Xiao's majestic voice suddenly came from the void: "Everyone, please be quiet, stay for a while, we will all gather at the foot of the mountain to watch the battle, and prepare for the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the League Cup!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood up and moved down the hill, and after a while, they all gathered in the wide field where the opening ceremony had been held earlier. After a while, Lu Xiao came to the stage, and as usual, he first invited the sect masters to take a seat, then gave some closing speeches, and finally presented awards to the winners, tossing back and forth for nearly two hours.
Zhan Chen also came to the stage, and Lu Xiao personally awarded the League Cup Winning Medal, a bonus of 5,000 high-grade immortal stones, and the title of "Only Sword".
This medal and the title of "only sword", Zhan Chen actually looked down on it, and felt dispensable, but he was overjoyed by the five thousand high-grade immortal stones that Lu Xiao gave him, and it just so happened that his immortal stones were not much, and the five thousand high-grade immortal stones were equivalent to five million medium-grade immortal stones, which was really a lot of wealth.
Then the closing ceremony ended, and the people of each sect also went back one after another, but for Zhan Chen, his challenge was not over.
Early the next morning, under the leadership of Zhuang Weiye, Zhan Chen came to the predetermined meeting place - outside the Burial Sword Valley of the Yuxiao Palace, but what caught his eye was a huge altar, and a huge stone tablet was erected outside the altar, and there were three huge red characters "Burial Sword Valley" on the stele, and there was a line of small words next to it "The forbidden land of the Yuxiao Palace, no trespassing", and next to the stone tablet stood two old men with white beards, both of whom looked like they had cultivated deeply, and were obviously responsible for guarding the forbidden land.
Zhuang Weiye stared at the two old men and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, don't underestimate those two old men, they both have the cultivation of the Immortal Yuan Great Perfection, and they must be the elders with high status in the Yuxiao Palace. β
Zhan Chen stared at the altar inside, and asked curiously: "Sect Master, I want to ask, the Burial Sword Valley is obviously a valley, and there are many treasures in it, why can't I find anything here, only one altar?"
Zhuang Weiye understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Zhan Chen, I don't know the specific situation, but I just heard that the spirit array in the center of the altar is a teleportation spirit array, and only through that spirit array can you reach the real Burial Sword Valley." β
"Teleportation Spirit Array, I see!" Zhan Chen suddenly realized, in fact, he had never seen a similar spirit array, so his curiosity turned into anticipation, looking forward to what kind of adventure he would encounter in the real Burial Sword Valley.
After a while, Lu Xiao also came over with seven elite disciples of the Jade Xiao Palace, they were all finalists who had reached the finals with Zhan Chen, and of course, he also saw Zhu Qian, Ouyang Rong and Xu Huang'er who had been defeated by him again.
The three girls naturally saw Zhan Chen as well, and their faces showed either unwillingness, pain, or provocation. In this regard, Zhan Chen had to smile bitterly to himself, helpless.
Seeing Zhuang Weiye and Zhan Chen, Lu Xiao actually took the initiative to come forward to say hello, he first asked Zhuang Weiye with a smile: "You are Sect Master Zhuang, fortunately, fortunately!"
Zhuang Weiye suddenly felt flattered, and hurriedly said: "Sect Master Lu, you are really polite, I am just a representative of a small immortal sect. β
Lu Xiao said solemnly: "Eh, Sect Master Zhuang, you will see the outside world when you say this, don't we all belong to the same Righteous Path Alliance? Although the Yuxiao Hall is big, it is also a member of the Righteous Path Alliance, and everyone is a brother sect, so the status of the Jade Xiao Hall and your Spirit Crane Sect is the same, and similarly, your status and I are not high or low!"
"But you're a seniorβ"
"What about the seniors? You came to our sect to represent the Spirit Crane Sect, and you are not alone. β
Zhuang Weiye heard him talk about this, and he also smiled bitterly and accepted it silently, but he was a little excited in his heart, how can he say it? Lu Xiao can indeed be worthy of the name of the leader of the Righteous Path Alliance!
Lu Xiao looked at Zhan Chen again, showed a kind smile to him, and asked, "You are Zhan Chen." β
Zhan Chen was startled, hurriedly saluted, and replied loudly: "Yes!"
"Yes, it's really good, I heard Bailisheng say earlier that you are a young hero, this time in the League Cup, you are like a new star descending, how many people are envious, even the elite disciples of our Jade Xiao Hall feel that they are sighing to themselves, young man, your future is great, I am optimistic about you!"
Zhan Chen replied in a panicked manner: "How can you be so favored by Sect Master Lu!"
"You are the only one, and your ambition is not to do this, and the future will surely exceed our imagination. Lu Xiao looked at him and said meaningfully.
Zhan Chen was taken aback again, and replied, "Sect Master Lu, I don't understand why you are so optimistic about me, but I will try to work hard in the next place and try to live up to your high expectations." β
Lu Xiao smiled and nodded, and then said to the seven elite disciples of the Jade Xiao Hall behind him: "Come over too, I want to tell you about the precautions in this Burial Sword Valley, so as not to cause trouble after everyone enters the valley." β
"Yes!" replied all seven of them, and they gathered around them.
Lu Xiao said again: "Everyone, you all know that this Burial Sword Valley is the forbidden land of my sect, and it is also the place where the elders in the sect who are already old leave their proud magic weapons, and even inherit them. In the past, only sect elders or disciples who had made outstanding contributions to the sect were eligible to enter the valley and find their own opportunities. Now that you have participated in the League Cup, you have also received this treatment, so this opportunity is not easy to come by, and I hope you will cherish it. β
"Got it, Sect Master!" all eight replied.
"But here, I want to remind you that the treasures and inheritances in the valley are not scattered at random, and you can pick them up, and in order to obtain treasures and inheritances, you must pass a rigorous test, and only those who pass the test can get the treasures. β
"Test, what test?" Zhan Chen asked curiously.
Lu Xiao looked at him and replied: "Zhan Chen, you are not from our sect, it is understandable that you don't know, when the elders of our sect enter the Burial Sword Valley to leave their own life's proud magic weapon or inheritance, they will set up formation mechanisms around the magic weapon, these formation organs are a kind of test for those who enter, only those who pass the test can obtain this treasure." β
"I see. Zhan Chen muttered, as if he had an understanding.
"In short, you will know after you enter, in addition, I also want to remind you that the Burial Sword Valley is isolated from the world, and the scope is very large, and it is shrouded in a thick layer of spiritual mist all year round, and when you move in it, whether it is your vision or immortal sense, you will be greatly restricted, I hope you are careful. β
"Sect Master, is this also a test for us?" someone asked.
Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "No, the reason why this arrangement is made is to protect the spirituality of the magic weapon to the greatest extent, with this kind of environment, the magic weapon left in the valley can be preserved for hundreds of millions of years, and it is still full of spirituality, just like when it was just stored in the secret realm, or even more powerful than before!"
"Hundreds of millions of years!" everyone was completely shocked by this number.
"However, this layer of spiritual mist has also indirectly created obstacles for your treasure hunting, which can also be regarded as a test. After a pause, Lu Xiao suddenly said meaningfully: "Finally, I would like to remind you one more point, although the time to enter the secret realm is half a month, that is, fifteen days, but everyone must pay attention to it, because in the past, there have been many examples of entering the treasure mountain and returning empty." β
