"No need to be polite, you should also know that with your identity, it is the dream of people in the cultivation world, so, I think, this master-servant contract is still good to keep, of course, if you feel that it is in the way, it will not be a problem to lift it, my words, Xie Xiaozi still dare not listen." Elder Taishang stroked his beard and said.

"No, no, I volunteered." Bingyanqiao's face was crimson, and she looked self-conscious, but she still whispered: "Then can I worship in the Qingxuanmen?" ”

Elder Taishang nodded, he turned to look at Xie Lan, and said slowly: "It's a pity, in this way, you are not a person with shallow fortune. Perhaps, the fate between us has not yet arrived. ”

Pity? Xie Lan thought to himself, I can understand this, isn't it that I didn't get the eight places, but I don't care about it, but the fate between me and Elder Taishang has not arrived, how can I understand this, Elder Taishang has carefully guided me for nearly ten years, it can be said that when the master was in retreat, his identity was also a master and a father, if this is still no fate, then what is fate?

"By the way, how did you survive the Dan Tribulation?" Looking at Xie Lan with a look of incomprehension, Elder Taishang asked sadly: "How heavy is your Dan Tribulation, that is to say, how many Tribulation Clouds, three?" Xie Lan shook his head. Elder Taishang continued to ask:

"Isn't it Liuduo? That's right, six tribulation clouds, two months of cultivation time to recover so well. Xie Lan still shook his head.

"Is it nine?" Elder Taishang asked in surprise. Xie Lan looked at Elder Taishang with a blank eye, but he was also extremely embarrassed in his heart, what is that a tribulation cloud, how should I say it, it's just a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, after all, I can't lie to Elder Taishang, is a tribulation cloud a heavy Dan tribulation, I still remember the little sister's tribulation at the beginning, but my tribulation cloud, will it be very embarrassing to say it, from beginning to end, not to mention the electric light, even the green smoke has not come out.

"It's like one." Xie Lan said during Ai Ai's period.

"Disciple, don't be rude, in front of the Supreme Elder, how dare you speak falsely?" Tianxuan's face was raised.

"Master, the apprentice doesn't dare, but there is really only one cloud of calamity, which the ice girl can prove, the apprentice's qualifications are a little worse, but he doesn't dare to deceive the master." Xie Lan hurriedly explained, looking at it like that, he was only about to burst into tears.

"This ...... How is this possible? I've never heard of a heavy tribulation. Tianxuan was skeptical.

"Master Dao Chief, what Brother Xie said is true, there is only one catastrophe cloud, although there is no thunderstorm, it may be that the golden cloud is too small, yes, it rained a little later, it is strange to say, it was a big winter at that time, there was snow everywhere, it actually rained, and the rain didn't seem to fall to the ground." Bingyan hurriedly said whatever he remembered, a little incoherent.

"Ridiculous, how can there be a cloud of calamity......" Tianxuan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Elder Taishang.

"No, just because you haven't heard it doesn't mean you haven't." Elder Taishang's voice was low with a hint of excitement, and he continued, "I haven't heard this name for a long time, there is a kind of Dan Tribulation called Xiang! Cloud! Disaster! After speaking, he looked at Xie Lan, and his eyes suddenly became blazing.

"Tell me, have you ever practiced any other techniques?" Elder Taishang continued to ask.

"No, I only have Qingxuan True Secret." Xie Lan replied.

"Then you have cultivated according to the Qingxuan True Technique, penetrating the thirty-six death points, plus all the meridian points around your body?"

"That's right." Xie Lan thought to himself, could it be that I did something wrong.

"Hahahaha, so it's not hard to explain." Elder Taishang laughed, and thought proudly in his heart, this time I can really leave this world, I didn't expect that although I didn't meet the master's expectations for me, but in this way, I also indirectly realized, auspicious cloud tribulation, that is auspicious cloud tribulation, this son's future is limitless, this is my Qingxuan blessing.

In fact, Tianxuan had never heard of any auspicious cloud tribulation, and seeing the inexplicable change in Elder Taishang's demeanor, he only understood one thing, that is, no matter what, the result was good, so he didn't have to be restrained, and he could ask whatever he wanted.

"Dare to ask Elder Taishang, what is the auspicious cloud tribulation, why have I never heard of it?"

"Of course you haven't heard of it, but when the aura of the Xia Yun Continent is still very strong, the auspicious cloud tribulation is the ultimate goal of all cultivators, and the conditions for attracting the auspicious cloud tribulation are very harsh, it can be described as one in ten thousand, and it only appears when the Dan is knotted, I know this point is still in the Canglang Cave, from the codex of the sixth generation of patriarchs, his Dan Tribulation is the auspicious cloud tribulation, oh, to put it simply, the auspicious cloud tribulation is a kind of affirmation of the heavenly way for the monk, only the monk's body, spiritual power, Spiritual consciousness and other aspects have reached extremely high standards, and only by attaining the pill in the most perfect state can this calamity be invited. ”

"In other words, at this time, the spiritual power of the Xia Yun Continent is so strong that if you want to perfect Chengdan, it is absolutely impossible." After speaking, Elder Taishang's brows relaxed, and he said kindly:

"Son, you've suffered all these years."

When Xie Lan suddenly heard this, he was not confused by the Perfect Jie Dan, but firmly locked his mind on the sentence "Heavenly Dao's affirmation of the monk", his mind was red again, thinking of his parents in the sea of fire, his thoughts drifted away: What is Heavenly Dao? What is providence? What is the relationship and difference between the Tao and the will, is the Heavenly Dao itself incomplete, at this time, Xie Lan has an abrupt but bold guess in his heart, what is my Dao? The way of heaven, or whose way is it? ……

When the spring breeze hits, the swaying state of the new bamboo is even more obvious, a few bamboo leaves are reluctant to flip on the ground under the influence of the breeze, occasionally skimming Xie Lan's feet, making a subtle rustling sound, at this time the scene becomes very quiet, leaving only gusts of wind and bamboo.

Seeing Xie Lan's stunned expression, Elder Taishang didn't think much about it, but waited quietly, wanting Xie Lan to thoroughly digest what he had just said, how did he know how Xie Lan felt at this time.

Why did the extinct volcano, which had been silent for many years, suddenly erupt, is this providence? I have been practicing hard for more than ten years, how much suffering during this period, and finally really stepped into the path, attracting the so-called auspicious cloud tribulation, and achieving Jindan, which is the affirmation of the way of heaven to himself? If his parents died of the so-called providence, then how to explain the gift of the Heavenly Dao, presumably the Supreme Elder could not answer this question, if you want to see farther and have a deeper understanding, do you have to climb to the top of the Dao step by step.

Xie Lan's eyes gradually cleared, and at this time, Elder Taishang also spoke again: "Boy Xie, it stands to reason that the aura of the Xia Yun Continent is not enough to support you to reach this realm?" Otherwise, why did the old man keep cultivating and only break through twenty-seven acupoints in fifty years. ”

"Elder Taishang is right, the kid does have some different opportunities, but I promised someone, and all I can tell you right now is that I have inadvertently entered a secret realm, and most of the more than five years I have been cultivating there." When leaving, Miss Fang did say not to tell others everything here, but it was actually out of a kind of protection for Xie Lan.

"Hahaha, that's enough." Elder Taishang laughed loudly, no matter what, this is my Qingxuan's luck, and besides, if you don't say it, I can't guess it, nine times out of ten it has nothing to do with the red jade pendant on your body. If it weren't for the fact that the old man had reached the refining period, he would definitely not care that there was an unusual soul intent in the faint spiritual power emanating from the red jade pendant.

"It seems that you have gained a lot from going down the mountain this time." Elder Taishang said with a smile. When I first saw it, because I saw Xie Lan actually marry Dan on his own, I thought that he had jumped out of the Qingxuan True Technique, and I was full of disappointment, and I was not interested in it, and at this time, I looked carefully, this son had a loyal and upright face, rich and introverted, and his eyes were even more radiant, and the heavenly punishment on his body when he went down the mountain has now disappeared, and it should have been recognized by the sword spirit and included in his body. No wonder, no wonder Na Litian reciprocated the favor by actually sending the "Heart of the Sword", and kept saying that it was useful to Xie Xiaozi, it seems that he also knows that Xie Lan has the existence of heavenly punishment.

"Thank you, boy, go on." Elder Taishang's sleeve robe rolled, a dazzling white light cluster appeared out of thin air, a few bamboo leaves wanted to come over to join in the fun, instigated the breeze to come up, but when there was still a distance of two meters, it silently turned into powder and dissipated in the air.

What is it? Before Xie Lan could observe carefully, a sword roar arose, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword came out of his body on his own, and the immature voice of the sword spirit was full of endless joy: "Master, this is the heart of the sword, and it can also be said to be the inheritance memory left by the sword path cultivator for the master, and I faintly feel a little familiar, it should have a lot to do with the "Heart Washing Immortal Sword Killing" you practiced, this thing has a great effect on the sword spirit, master?" ”

"Since it has the greatest effect on the sword spirit, it will be given to you." Xie Lan said without hesitation.

Heavenly Punishment emitted a sword sound of "Zheng", emitting a dense black light, slowly approaching the heart of the sword that stopped in front of Xie Lan from top to bottom, and then slowly fused, just three breaths of effort, the heart of the sword was integrated into the body of the Heavenly Punishment Sword, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword Spirit only had time to send out a message, and it needed to sleep for a while, and then it sank into Xie Lan's body and hibernated.

"Sure enough, I didn't expect you to really become the master of heavenly punishment." Xie Lan's performance surprised Elder Taishang again, and he continued, "Do you know where this Sword Heart came from? ”

"Isn't it left by our predecessors of the Qingxuanmen?" Xie Lan asked curiously.

"Did you go to Spirit Sword Mountain and meet the head of the Spirit Sword Sect? This sword heart was originally transmitted by the head of the Spirit Sword Sect, Na Li Tianfei Sword. Looks like he has a good impression of you, doesn't he? ”

"Huh?" Xie Lanxin said, the trip to the Spirit Sword Gate was only limited to a one-night meeting between Zuo Shaoshan and the little senior sister, and I didn't see the little sister's father, yes, the little sister must understand my intentions, and she can't bear to return the gift I gave directly, so compensate me for this precious sword heart, which can be regarded as a debt of not indebtedness. Although I have let go, why is my heart still so sour.

"Is this sword heart precious?" Xie Lan asked meaninglessly.

This time, it was Tianxuan who continued: "Of course, the heart of the sword is usually something left behind when the sword path cultivation reaches the great perfection and breaks the void and soars, and the two words precious are not enough to describe it. ”

Xie Lan smiled bitterly, this relationship is so clean.
