Chapter 14: The Years Are Silent

"Xu Ling, win!"

The referee came back to his senses and looked at Xu Ling and shouted excitedly, and the audience cheered loudly, as if they were the victorious.

At this moment, a person suddenly jumped down from the middle seat on the high platform, he was dressed in a blue and white robe, although he was about fifty years old, there was no strong trace of time on his face, it was the Great Elder of Xuanlang Sect.

He jumped from a high platform above 100 meters and fell slowly, and then stopped steadily in front of Xu Ling, without a trace of dust.

Standing in the air, the strong man in the tribulation period!

He first handed Xu Ling a healing pill that looked like it was not low-grade, and then said: "In the next battle, you don't have to continue, I will give you a reward in my personal name to rank first, and I will have you Xu Ling in the seat of the true descendant of the Xuanlang Sect!"

The Great Elder paused as he spoke, and then said, "Even if tomorrow the Tianzi test shows that you are a person with no bloodline, no physique, and no spiritual root. ”

Bloodline inheritance can only be found in certain special families or races, and the physique is only available to certain rare geniuses, and these two are common.

But if it is said that there is no spiritual root, it means that there is no affinity for any heaven and earth element, and there is no advantage in cultivating martial arts, and the cultivation speed will become extremely slow after reaching the spiritual martial realm, and the cultivation of the later realm is becoming more and more difficult, and more importantly, it is impossible to use spiritual power attacks.

Therefore, as soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, it caused a shock, and even the elders of the other sects on the high platform were shocked, although they were also shocked that Xu Ling was able to defeat Zhao Xingtian of the Spiritual Martial Quadruple, but if there was no spiritual root, what was the use of being strong in the Forging Foundation Realm?

Xu Ling, the person in the matter, did not change his face, and after listening to the Great Elder's words, he poured the elixir given by the Great Elder in his hand into his mouth.

"Thank you seniors for your kindness, Xu Ling is very grateful, but I don't want to miss the next battle!"

Xu Ling felt the powerful medicinal power in his body and said respectfully to the Great Elder in front of him, mentioning the word battle, a flash of fire seemed to flash in his eyes.

The Great Elder frowned when he heard this, Xu Ling's body was full of sword wounds at this time, especially the bloody wound on his waist, Xu Ling only bandaged it with the white cloth that had wrapped the Heavenly Nine Directions Void Halberd before, and now he was still gushing blood.

Seeing Xu Ling's serious expression and as if he would not back down, the Great Elder finally felt helpless, he didn't have the qualifications to stop what Xu Ling wanted to do now.

"Okay, since that's the case, then you recuperate until the afternoon, and then I will arrange the first place to fight with you, if you win, you will be the first, and if you lose, then you will be the tenth!"

The Great Elder thought about it for a while, but Xu Ling was a little hesitant when he heard this.

"Thank you seniors, Xu Lingding lived up to the kindness of his predecessors and won the first place. ”

Xu Ling finally compromised, in fact, the reason why he wanted to continue fighting was not only to feel the thrill of fighting, but most importantly, he didn't want to be subservient when he still had the strength to spare!

Since he can fight with the strongest and fight for the first place, Xu Ling has no reason to refuse, besides, he is indeed seriously injured, and now he can speak freely because of the Great Elder's healing pill.

After bidding farewell to the Great Elder, Xu Ling walked off the stage, and was about to find a place to bandage his wounds first, when he suddenly coincidentally saw a young girl carrying the unconscious Zhao Xingtian on his back, which was the junior sister who was still cheering for Zhao Xingtian before.

She was carrying the unconscious Zhao Xingtian on her back, and she was also looking at Xu Ling coincidentally at this moment, and her gaze towards Xu Ling was very complicated.

"Why are you working so hard? Is it just for the cruel words you put in the martial arts market before?"

In the girl's opinion, Xu Ling was desperate for a cruel word, and she didn't want to lose face, so she made Zhao Xingtian admit defeat for such a funny reason, which made her look down on Xu Ling now.

Xu Ling didn't want to pay attention to her, but when he saw that the girl had a sense of disgust in her eyes, he couldn't help but feel ridiculous.

"Although it's just a game, if there is still strength left, how can I, Xu Ling, be willing to lose the game if I don't do my best?"

Although Xu Ling has a calm personality, after all, he can't stand this breath when he is young, and explained loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ling shook his head and turned to leave, feeling naΓ―ve about his words, he didn't think that the girl who was already disgusted with him could understand his explanation.

The girl who was carrying Zhao Xingtian on her back looked at Xu Ling's departing back and frowned silently, and finally sighed, and left with the unconscious Zhao Xingtian on her back.

After Xu Ling left, he went directly to the waiting room, today is already the final, so the waiting room is empty, and there are no muscular men to see that day.

But the waiting room was not empty, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was standing against the wall with his eyes closed, holding his chest together.

Xu Ling glanced at him with some novelty, and now being able to appear in the waiting room showed that this teenager of his age was also one of the top ten in the competition.

But then he lost interest, Xu Ling retracted his gaze and walked straight to the corner and sat down, tore off a large piece of the white cloth that wrapped the Heavenly Nine Directions Void Halberd next to him, and bandaged some deep wounds.

Then he closed his eyes and mobilized his spiritual power to warm up his internal injuries, with the elixir of the previous Great Elder, the injuries on his body healed quickly.

"You're a demon cultivator, right?"

Suddenly, an abrupt voice sounded in the waiting room, Xu Ling suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the young man who was holding his chest against the wall before, and the killing intent on his body instantly spread throughout the waiting room.

If his identity as a demon cultivator is revealed now, let alone entering the sect, it would be a little unrealistic to even leave this Hunian City alive.

"Haha, don't be so impulsive, I don't mean anything else. ”

Seeing that Xu Ling's hand had even grasped the black halberd, the young man smiled dumbly.

Xu Ling calmed down a little when he heard this, frowned and looked at the young man, waiting for his next step.

Xu Ling only now took a closer look at the appearance of the young man, he was wearing a slim purple robe, waist-length hair was tied up high at the back of his head, and there was a small handful of oblique bangs on his forehead, his whole person looked uninhibited at first glance, but then he could find that he had a faint temperament of a superior under his frivolous appearance, and there was wisdom hidden in his easy-going eyes.

"I watched your fight, it's exciting, you're very strong. ”

The young man continued to laugh and joke, his eyes couldn't see the slightest other meaning, and Xu Ling still frowned when he heard this, and he didn't mean to talk.

"Okay, okay, let me introduce myself, my name is Ji Changsheng, in fact, I just want to ask, do you think we are friends or enemies?"

Xu Ling's brows furrowed deeper when he heard Ji Changsheng's words, and he didn't know what Ji Changsheng wanted to express.

Seeing this, Ji Changsheng shook his head helplessly, and then suddenly stepped forward and handed Xu Ling a pill, seeing that Xu Ling didn't mean to take it, he said, "I don't want my enemy to be injured when he fights me. ”

Xu Ling looked at Ji Changsheng strangely when he heard this, and at this moment, Lao Xu's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and he told Xu Ling that the pill in Ji Changsheng's hand was indeed a powerful healing pill with no problem.

Hearing Lao Xu's words, although Xu Ling was even more puzzled in his heart, he still took the pill.

"How did you know that I was a demon cultivator?"

As soon as Xu Ling's words came out, it was equivalent to admitting that he was a demon cultivator, but Ji Changsheng looked unexpected, and pointed at the Heavenly Nine Directions Void Halberd beside Xu Ling with his chin.

Xu Ling reacted immediately, at this time, the white cloth that wrapped the Heavenly Nine Directions Void Halberd had already revealed its original halberd body in the battle with Zhao Xingtian, the whole body was bewitching and mysterious, and the halberd body full of streamlined beauty had a strong ancient atmosphere.

This kind of Heavenly Nine Directions Void Halberd, which is also black all over, can indeed guess that this is a magic weapon for people with real eyesight.

"Ji Changsheng vs. Ye Bufan!"

Just then, there was a shout outside.

"Looks like it's time for me to go, take care of my injuries. ”

Ji Changsheng smiled at Xu Ling when he heard this, then yawned and turned around and left the waiting room.

Xu Ling looked at the place where Ji Changsheng left and was a little irritated for some reason, although Ji Changsheng looked very easy-going, he always gave Xu Ling a strange feeling, what it was like, Xu Ling couldn't say.

After a long time, Xu Ling still shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, and looked at the Tianjiufang Void Halberd next to him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"Old Xu, it seems that even if you are wrapped in cloth in the future, you can't just use you to fight with others. ”

"Hmph, the people of the Divine Desolate Continent are really narrow-minded, the Demon Dao, as one of the four ancient paths, not only does not widen but actually blocks it, and the Demon Dao is not the kind of evil path that requires some kind of virgin essence blood dead soul to cultivate, how can a real demon cultivator be as irrational as that kind of path?"

"Even those martial artists who claim to be on the right path, killing innocent people indiscriminately is a big catch, and in my opinion, the people of the Divine Desolate Continent have been blinded by the times. ”

Lao Xuan was very unhappy in his heart, and he vomited frantically, Xu Ling nodded in agreement when he heard that he had no objection.

It is rumored that demon cultivators are all crazy people, not only are they very easy to lose their minds, but they will also use cruel means to improve their cultivation, but Xu Ling has been cultivating the Demon Dao for a few months, and he doesn't see any difference from others?

"By the way, Lao Xu, what are the four ancient paths?"

Xu Ling then asked with some confusion.

"The Four Ancient Paths refer to the Divine Dao, the Martial Dao, the Demon Dao, and the Heavenly Dao, these four are the oldest Dao Gates, and only by cultivating these four Dao can we reach the true peak in terms of strength. ”

Lao Xuan paused at this point of explanation, and said again: "Of course, this so-called peak, let alone you, even the entire Divine Desolate Continent is not as good as even a speck of dust, no, it is not even as good as a mote. ”

Xu Ling was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"The whole divine desolation is not a speck of dust? Old Xu, I just want to ask, what kind of existence are you?"

"It has only been two million years since the birth and development of the martial arts of the Divine Desolate Continent, and I have existed for more than three million years, what do you say I am?"

Xu Ling was so shocked that he almost forgot to think, and only now did he understand how existing he was when he encountered the Heavenly Nine Directions Void Halberd.

"Lao Xu, since you have existed for so long, why do you always speak without a proper shape sometimes, and even a little ...... Lewd?"

Xu Ling thought about it, and finally couldn't help but ask the doubts he had always had in his heart.

Lao Xuan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't you human beings call this personality? I am afraid that if I don't have a personality, I will forget my own existence and everything I have encountered. ”

Xu Ling's nose suddenly soured when he heard this, as if he saw a black halberd lying in a dark corner, and just watched the environment in which he changed from mountains to seas, and from sea to mountains.

How long will it take to forget your own existence, and what kind of loneliness will it be?

However, listening to Lao Xu's talk about forgetting everything he encountered, Xu Ling was still a little curious, curious about what Lao Xuan had encountered before?

"Old Xu, have you had other people who have fought with you before?"

Lao Xuan was suddenly silent, and after a while, he just said: "Don't say it, hurry up and recuperate, and have to duel with the first qualifying match in the afternoon." ”

When Xu Ling heard this, he had to give up the question, took the pill given by Ji Changsheng, and found that the medicinal power spread out in his body was actually stronger than the medicinal power of the elixir given by the Great Elder, and he was taken aback, but he didn't think much about it and began to recuperate.

And the Tianjiufang Void Halberd on the side quieted down, lying quietly on the ground, and the old void inside didn't know what he was thinking.

If there were no people who used it, why did it exist? No matter how ancient the old void was, it was actually just a soul.

Since the birth of the Heavenly Nine Directions Void Halberd, there are only two people who have fought with Lao Xu, one is the demon boy Xu Ling who met on the Cloud Turning Mountain, and the Heaven Nine Directions Void Halberd is a partner who has both glory and loss, life and death.

The other is the master who forged the Heavenly Nine Directions Void Halberd, witnessed the birth of Lao Xu, and faced countless enemies together, and spent thousands of years together.
