No matter how difficult life is, three meals a day are always indispensable.

Cao Chen took a big axe to chop firewood, and then used two stones to make a fire and squatted in front of an open-air simple stove to boil water.

The color of the fire in the stove was very peculiar, different from the ordinary orange-red, it turned out to be white.

Cao Chen was used to seeing this white flame, so he thought that in this cultivation world, all the fire was white, so he didn't care. While refilling the firewood in the simple stove, he chatted with the master sister. "You said you haven't eaten for thousands of years, are you really not hungry?"

"Xiuzhen has passed the Bigu period, and you won't be hungry if you don't eat."

"Of course I know that, I mean...... Well, I'm thinking, you said that if a foodie cultivates to the Bigu period and never needs to eat anymore, do you think he will always feel a little less? ”

The master sister is really not interested in talking to Cao Chen about these useless things.

Cao Chen was also accustomed to the attitude of the master sister who often ignored him, and when he saw that the fire was stable, he got up and went to the only room not far away that was still intact, and took out a golden rugby-sized egg from it.

……

Tianshan Sect, Council Hall.

A group of Tianshan masters sat on the stone bench, looking at a shadow wall in front of them, noisy like a vegetable market.

"This bastard! Use black flame stone to make a fire, and use white spirit wood as firewood for cooking? His mother's son is a law enforcement elder, and he has never been so extravagant! An old man with a black beard whipped his beard and glared.

"Hey, Senior Brother Zhou, didn't you pay attention to the pot he used to boil water? Brother, I'm shallow, I don't know if I'm mistaken, you see, that thing doesn't look like the top cover of a Dan furnace? ”

"Well, after you say that...... Oops! This bastard is ...... this bastard."

"Phoenix eggs?!" Tianyang, who had been silent and didn't speak, finally couldn't sit still, suddenly got up, stared at the golden egg, and said, "The egg of the phoenix that has been extinct for more than 3,000 years?!" ”

Senior Brother Zhou's old face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You must find this guy!" Chiba knives and ragged clothes are all things outside the body, and no matter how good they are, they are dead things! But this phoenix egg...... Once successfully hatched, the phoenix full of treasures is absolutely ...... Belch...... What is this guy doing with an axe? Wait a minute...... Other...... Other! I endured it when you used the holy weapon to open the mountain and chop wood, but ...... Yes!!! Senior Brother Zhou screamed as if he had been hit by some extremely powerful magic technique.

Not only Senior Brother Zhou, but even Tianyang, who was extremely self-contained, also screamed miserably.

Buzz –

Cao Chen went down with an axe, but he couldn't split the phoenix egg. There was a buzzing sound, and Zhen's hands were numb.

Tianyang's hearts finally fell back when they mentioned their throats.

"Jokes." Senior Brother Zhou laughed heartily, "How can the phoenix egg be mortal, how can it be destroyed so easily." ”

"That ......" someone reminded Senior Brother Zhou, "the mountain axe is not ordinary, it is a high-grade holy weapon, a magic weapon that is almost comparable to an immortal weapon." ”

Senior Brother Zhou's laughter came to an abrupt end.

……

Cao Chen shook his numb hand, spit it into the palm of his hand, tied up his horse step again, and then picked up the mountain axe high, gritting his teeth and slamming it suddenly.

Smack-

The tip of the axe carved a small hole in the eggshell.

Satisfied, he threw the mountain axe aside, Cao Chen held the egg, turned the mouth down, and let the egg white and yolk in the egg flow into the boiling water.

Add in an unknown but slightly salty fruit, and a pot of delicious egg custard will be freshly cooked.

took out a wooden bowl, served a bowl with a wooden spoon, and took a bite of it, Cao Chen licked his lips with satisfaction. Even though there is no seasoning, the taste of this egg custard is indeed extraordinary. A pot of egg custard was in his stomach, and Cao Chen kept hiccups.

If you are full of food and drink, you will naturally sleep on your head.

He didn't bother to put away the dishes and chopsticks, just threw them in the pot, turned around and went back to sleep in the only intact room.

……

Holy Sword Sect.

Gui Yizhen's face was very ugly, with a pair of eyes revealing fine light, staring at Cao Chen's unbrushed pots and bowls.

Beside him, Wu Xuan, the eldest disciple of the Holy Sword Sect, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but ask Guiyi, "Master, phoenix egg custard...... Is it tasty? Looking at his demeanor, he couldn't wait to pounce on the shadow wall in front of him and lick it hard.

The corners of Gui Yizhen's mouth twitched, and he sighed in his heart.

Wu Xuan, a disciple, is good at anything, that is...... I just love to eat so much! It's long past the valley period, but he still likes to eat. Could it be that he is what Cao Chen's kid said is a foodie?

After hesitating for a moment, Gui Yi Zhenren said, "For the sake of the teacher's life, I have never eaten such a good thing." ”

"Hahaha." A beautiful woman laughed loudly and said, "Senior brother, did you say that everyone in the cultivation realm is about to be angry with this kid now?" ”

Gui glanced at the woman and smiled bitterly, "It must be so." ”

The woman smiled again and said, "Speaking of which, the Tianshan Sect won't cut off the transmission of images, right?" This Cao Chen, the axes used to chop wood are all holy weapons, plus ragged clothes, thousand blades, and phoenix eggs...... With a hand full of treasures, many people must want to find him, and Tianyang probably won't want others to get clues from the spiritual vision. ”

Gui Yi shook his head and said, "Definitely, senior sister, you want to go wrong." If Tianyang really cut off the image transmission, he would directly offend the entire cultivation realm. I didn't know if I hadn't found Cao Chen yet, and the Tianshan Sect was attacked by the cultivation realm first. ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense." Suddenly cut off the image, the world will inevitably think that the Tianshan Sect has obtained those supreme treasures. However, if the images continue to drop, the Tianshan Sect's spiritual vision 2.0 will definitely sell crazy, and it will definitely increase the viewing fee. Tsk, I'm really jealous, the Tianshan Sect is now a hit. ”

Although the relationship with Tianyang is very good, and the Holy Sword Sect and the Tianshan Sect have always been as close as brother sects, but seeing the Tianshan Sect swallowing a mouthful of fat, he can only stare dryly, and Gui Yi is still a little uncomfortable. Exhaling a breath, Gui Yi said, "Mercy One, what's going on in the Weeping Blood Plains?" ”

"Crowded." The woman said.

Gui Yi smiled bitterly, "Lingshi broke into the spatial rift there, probably many people want to hit the luck." ”

"Senior brother, are you sure it's a spatial rift?" ”

"Sure." "It is impossible for any powerful formation to completely hide a large area. There must be a spatial rift. But, alas, I went there the first time and found nothing. ”

Lianyi smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I have already transferred the affairs of Dantang, now I will go to the Weeping Blood Plains to guard immediately, and if there is any abnormality, I will contact you as soon as possible." ”

Gui nodded and said with a smile, "If you talk about perception, you can't compare to you as a brother, I hope that my junior sister will gain something, so that my Holy Sword Sect can reach a higher level." As he spoke, Gui Yi sighed slightly and said, "I don't know how Senior Brother Zhengyi is developing my Holy Sword Sect's spiritual vision." Thinking about the benefits that Tianshan Lingshi has brought to the Tianshan Sect, it is really ...... Envy of others. ”

……

Cao Chen didn't know that when he slept with a big head, his ancestors had been greeted countless times by the entire cultivation realm for eighteen generations. I slept until dawn, and when I woke up, I opened my eyes and stared at the bright sky outside the window for a while.

Bored.

It's really boring.

He didn't have much to do.

Cao Chen, who had nothing to do, fell in love with art for a certain period of time. The walls of the room are scribbled with graffiti. There are high-rise buildings, there are cars and airplanes, there are ships and mountains, and more, it is the spring palace map. In the corner and on the table, there were all kinds of wood carvings, all of which were gadgets carved by Bai Ling wood when Cao Chen was very bored. Twenty years have passed, Cao Chen's cultivation has not seen much progress, but the painters and carvers have improved by leaps and bounds.

In addition to these, there are also three golden phoenix eggs piled up in one corner of the room.

These phoenix eggs were all found by Cao Chen in the woods in the back mountain, and there were not many in total, and they ate one sooner or later to satisfy their hunger, and now there are only these three left.

After being stunned for a long time, Cao Chen, who was bored, sat up and began to cultivate.

It's already the ninth layer of the inverse.

The master sister said that as long as she continued to cultivate, she would be able to truly cross the threshold of a cultivator and reach the "Qi Refining Period". She also said that compared with the ordinary method of cultivating the true heart, "Against the Heavens" has one more "reversal". Generally, cultivators start directly with the Qi refining period, while the "Reverse Heaven Technique" requires the "Reverse Ten Layers" to start Qi refining.

What is the use of this so-called "reverse", Cao Chen doesn't know, after cultivating for twenty years, when he reaches the ninth layer of reverse, he is about to reverse ten, and Cao Chen doesn't feel any changes in his body. If it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have any other mental methods, and the master sister didn't mean to pass on other mental methods to herself, he really wanted to change his mental methods and practice.

It's always idle and has nothing to do, Cao Chen also wants to know what will happen when he reaches the reverse ten, so he can hold on, after all, he only needs that hour of cultivation time every day.

After finishing his cultivation, Cao Chen occasionally went up and down the mountain.

The place where Cao Chen can visit is actually not big, and it is only a few miles within a radius of Xiaoliang Mountain. Anything further out is no longer able to walk. It was as if there was an invisible wall that directly blocked the way. It's like an invisible cage that has trapped Cao Chen here for twenty years! The master's sister told Cao Chen that it was a big melee more than three thousand years ago, which led to huge fluctuations in spiritual power. The consequence of the fluctuation of spiritual power is that the entire world is torn apart. And where this little Liangshan is located, it is trapped in a spatial rift. If you want to get out, you have to break this spatial barrier. And after this spatial barrier is shattered, what kind of impact it will have on Xiaoliangshan here, the master sister is not very clear.

Cao Chen's most important task every day is to search for some food all over the mountains. Sooner or later, if he catches a pheasant or a hare or something, he will be excited for days. If you are not so lucky, the wild fruits on the mountain and the unknown rhizome plants in the soil below the mountain can also be satisfied.

Day after day, more than two months passed.

Cao Chen finally felt some unusual changes in his body.

On this day, Cao Chen had just finished meditating and cultivating, and he felt that something was not quite right. "Sister, am I going to reverse ten? I feel like my body is ...... Something is wrong. ”

"Alas...... I almost wanted to cry. The master sister said, "It's been twenty years, I'm really looking forward to the stars and the moon, you have finally grown." ”

"Don't be emotional." Cao Chen said, "I'm ...... I'm so hot! ”

"Well, that's right, you'll want to die of pain later."

"Huh?"

"Against the sky...... If you want to go against the sky, you should always bear some pain that ordinary people can't bear, such as heavenly punishment. ”

"What do you mean...... ...... "Cao Chen felt as if there was a fire in his body, and the whole person became restless. He saw that his body was red, feverish, and his chest was burning in pain.

"Although your qualifications are not good, but after eating so many treasures, it should always have some effect. Those who rebel against the sky do not have a ...... out of ten"

Cao Chen didn't hear the words of the master's sister.

He felt as if his whole body was on fire, and his brain was burning. He jumped off the stone bed like crazy, stumbled outside, and fell to the ground in pain, twisting and screaming.

There was some salty taste in the throat, and it was because the shouting was so loud that the throat was bursting. However, it really fulfilled that sentence: if you scream and cut your throat, no one will come to help you.

Cao Chen rolled on the ground, his hands scratching at his chest and head.

His chest and face were bloody from his scratches.

Several times, I fainted in agony and woke up in pain......

His eyes were bloodshot, and his nails were lifted from desperate scratching, revealing red, bloody flesh.

Cao Chen's whole body was covered with blood, and dense cracks could be seen everywhere on the skin around his body, and blood kept oozing out.

The sky that had been clear was suddenly overcast, and there was a muffled thunder rolling behind the dark clouds that obscured the sky. The world of black oppression seems to have come to an end.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt burst out from between the black clouds, slammed down, and slashed towards Cao Chen.

If you act against the sky, you will be punished by heaven!

……

"Those who go against the sky, there is not a ...... out of ten" Chu Fan repeated the words of the master sister in a low voice, his fists clenched tightly. Looking at Cao Chen, who was rolling on the ground covered in blood, and watching the thunder Gang fall on him, Chu Fan's heart rose to his throat.

Tianyang looked at Chu Fan, whose nervous forehead was oozing fine sweat, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "As a teacher, I don't know much about the "Reverse Heaven Formula", but I have seen it in some ancient books, saying that whether this "Reverse Heaven Technique" can be cultivated depends on the qualifications and the heart. Although this Cao Chen's qualifications are really ...... But if your heart is firm enough, you can probably still get through it. "That being said, Tianyang actually has no bottom in his heart. He was thinking that when he was an ordinary person, he might not be able to bear such heart-rending pain. This, after all, is the power of heavenly punishment!

Come to think of it, if the "Anti-Heaven Technique" is so easy to refine, the Yaochi Sect will not have a pitiful number of disciples.

In the cultivation realm, to be able to call it a sect, there must be at least three cultivators in the Bigu stage and one cultivator in the Yuan Infant stage, and there must be more than 100 foundation building disciples.

The Yaochi Sect was an exception, in its heyday more than three thousand years ago, it was full of people, but there were only fifteen people, including five Qi refining stage disciples and a man. But the remaining nine people may not be extremely high in cultivation, but all of them are people who stir up the storm.

Since 3,300 years ago, after spiritual power fluctuations destroyed the entire world, the Yaochi Sect also disappeared. Everyone in the world thinks that the Yaochi Sect is dead, but now it seems that there is at least one person alive in the Yaochi Sect.

The "master sister" who had been talking to Cao Chen aroused the interest of the entire cultivation world. Some people assert that it must be a generation of masters of the Yaochi Sect.

It's just that what kind of strength should such a master have to seal it? Is this master one of the nine?

……

Xiaoliang Mountain, the site of the mountain gate of Yaochi Zong.

Cao Chen's body suddenly caught fire.

Red flames enveloped his body.

He struggled, jumped, and rolled in pain......

The fire was finally extinguished, and the thunder finally stopped.

The clouds cleared, and the world returned to clarity.

Cao Chen stared at the blood-red eyes and lay on his back on the stone floor.

He was scorched all over his body. It was as if the whole thing was scorched and the body was atrophied. Quite strangely, the worn-out clothes on his body were intact - of course, still as tattered as before.

"Are you still alive?" The master sister asked softly.

Cao Chen struggled to open his mouth.

Click-

The charred skin on his face, like the bark of a dry tree, was shattered and peeled off......
