Yesterday, Zhuo Xuhan pointed at the center of his eyebrows, Zhang Zhao didn't meditate and breathe, the spiritual power in his body kept running, from the time he returned to the room to wake up today, the Ten Thousand Spirits Jue has been running in his body at will, Zhang Zhao felt that this happened as naturally as breathing, this kind of practice is not like the original need to concentrate on pranayama, but is running all the time, and you can feel the different spiritual powers around your body anytime and anywhere.
Now Zhang Zhao is still in a situation where he can only feel these different spiritual powers but cannot mobilize them, he understands them carefully, and feels that the speed of the Ten Thousand Spiritual Essence has slowed down a little compared to yesterday, as if Zhuo Xuhan provoked a certain wheel in Zhang Zhao's body with the power of one finger, and now this wheel operated by spiritual power is gradually slowing down.
Zhang Zhao recalled Zhuo Xuhan's words last night, and turned a deaf ear to the shouts for dinner outside the house. He sat quietly on the bed, keeping the aura in his body running in the most attentive way, and slowly found the feeling of the free operation of the Ten Thousand Souls in his body last night. He remembered that when Zhuo Xuhan sent out or withdrew the power that had been injected into his body last night, he didn't have the breath and return qi that he usually meditated on.
So Zhang Zhao controlled the operation of the whole spirit formula in his body, but his body slowly stood up, slowly walked around the house, tried to do some actions of raising his head and raising his hand, tidying up the bed, if anyone knew that all this happened to him, he was afraid that he would immediately exclaim, at this time Zhang Zhao was in the primary state of the unity of body and law, this kind of epiphany is something that can be met but not sought, every practitioner will have more or less epiphany moments in his life, grasping that feeling may be a step to the sky, and losing it will pass by with success.
"Everyone, pack your things, we're leaving. Mo Junfeng downstairs greeted loudly, and no one noticed that Zhang Zhao, who hurriedly ran downstairs with his baggage, had a satisfied smile on his face.
In the short period of time just now, Zhang Zhao was already able to control the automatic exercise of the Ten Thousand Souls Technique, so that the aura could continue to operate endlessly in the body, and there was no need to meditate and meditate on pranayama as before.
Zhang Zhao didn't know that he was one step closer to the fusion of Zhuo Xuhan's cultivation with himself, and he didn't know what impact this would have on his future cultivation. Just like the morning when the golden word first appeared in his mind in the town, he was like a child who had discovered something new and interesting, and he was complacent and excited to pluck the invisible wheel in his body.
The disciples of Bafang City and Cuiliu Peak had already arrived overnight, and the several factions had three or four hundred disciples together, and the battle was not small. Except for the disciples of Huanghuadong Mansion, who were still a little restrained, the disciples of the other factions had fought side by side not long ago, and they had a very harmonious relationship with each other.
Zhang Zhao followed the team forward, but did not chat with the people around him, at this moment, every time he took a step forward, he could experience the different feelings brought to him by the Ten Thousand Souls. After experiencing Zhuo Xuhan's strange soul feeling last night, Zhang Zhao had firmly remembered the feelings brought by those different aura.
He didn't know that no matter which kind of feeling it was, it was an unattainable opportunity for a cultivator. And in addition to Zhuo Xuhan, a character who acts unscrupulously, there is no second person in Wuxuan who dares to use it at will.
All kinds of spiritual energy were introduced into Zhang Zhao's body by the Ten Thousand Spirits, flowing in his meridians in a mixed and intertwined way, and the feeling was not only fresher than the original cool feeling, but also the air flow was much thicker. However, Zhang Zhao's meridians are different from ordinary people, and these auras are still far from enough for him.
The place where the Life and Death Realm appeared this time was at the border of the Xuanmu Domain, and decades ago, this was the battlefield where the Beast Tide army and the Five Xuan cultivators were fighting. Since the tide of beasts receded, the cultivators who were stationed here in the past returned to their hometowns, and the small cities they passed along the way had long been deserted.
In a vast green grassland, the gray peaks formed abruptly formed in a circle. From a distance, the vegetation around the gray peaks has withered, forming a huge yellow ring, which is even more conspicuous against the surrounding green.
Many people from the other sects of Wuxuan Shang had also arrived, and they had already stationed themselves in their respective camps next to the yellow ring of withered grass. Zhang Zhao looked at it from a distance, but he felt a little bit like the Baimu Competition back then. It's just that as their team approached, the eyes of the disciples of all factions were full of vigilance, and they were not at all as enthusiastic as the shepherds at the competition.
The disciples of several factions, led by Ling Xiao, also found a place next to the yellow grass circle and set up tents. After settling down, the elders of the various factions walked to a huge white tent not far away.
Zhang Zhao turned his head to see Gao Xingyuan, and asked curiously: "Which sect is that tent, it looks quite big, why aren't there a few people outside?" Gao Xingyuan squinted and looked at it: "I don't know either." Maybe it's some sect in our Xuanmu Domain. ”
"Tu Baozi, I don't know that. A voice came from not far away. At the same time, Zhang Zhao felt a strong hostility in his mind, and looked at the voice, a charming girl in purple met his gaze and glared hatefully, it was Xiao Zihong who was proud of her beauty in the woods when she went to the underground palace that day.
Seeing that Zhang Zhao indifferently turned his eyes away and did not look at himself, Xiao Zihong was even more indignant. Gao Xingyuan, who was beside Zhang Zhao, was not in the team of Lingxiao going to the underground palace, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xiao Zihong's appearance, and then even he could feel Xiao Zihong's raging anger towards Zhang Zhao.
"Then please ask this girl for guidance, where is that tent?" Gao Xing saw that Xiao Zihong was a disciple of Yunyangling, so he asked with a pleasant face.
Xiao Zihong didn't expect to meet Zhang Zhao here, seeing that Gao Xingyuan had a good face and polite language, he naturally couldn't lose his demeanor. She replied softly, "That is where the messenger of the blue sky is located. All the factions are to go and have a salute. See how many people are going to claim the Life and Death Token. ”
"I see. Thank you for the advice. Gao Xingyuan looked at Zhang Zhao, who turned his back, and couldn't help but be curious. When Xiao Zihong stopped looking at this side, she quietly asked Zhang Zhao what happened, and couldn't help but snicker after listening to it.
At this time, the elders of the various factions who came out of the white tent walked back with a man in white in their arms. The man in white had heavy steps and a bloated figure, and he looked very ordinary, but his white and chubby face had a look of arrogance.
The man in white held a golden tray in his hand, and some black things were stacked on the plate. As he walked, he complained loudly: "If you have to let a certain family go this way, among your factions, can there be any people who dare to accept this life and death order?"
Lingxiao's Elder Yan and the others all looked disdainful in the back, but the Qing Elder in Fengwei Hall was humbly accompanied by a smile: "If you have a noble envoy to go once, you have to give the children a chance to choose." ”
The white fat envoy of the blue sky outside the sky walked to the middle of the stations of several factions with a golden plate, and his voice was very high: "Listen to the people of your several factions, the order of life and death is here, and if you think that your cultivation is good, you will come and take a piece, but a certain family can explain to you first, and those who have obtained the order of life and death have to be challenged by others." Whether you live or die, you have to bear it yourself. ”
The disciples of various factions gathered around, and none of them went up to get the token of life and death, but just watched from afar. The white fat envoy looked around with disdain, looked back at Yu Qing and sneered, "I just said that it is impossible for anyone from your faction to dare to take this token, and you still don't believe it?"
The words of the white fat envoy were very harsh, and the disciples of several factions all felt that they were not angry in their hearts, although the teachers of each faction repeatedly told them not to be impulsive, but such an opportunity was in front of them, how could they be indifferent.
"I'll come. A tall young disciple of Cuiliufeng took the lead in stepping forward, reached out and took a token of life and death from the plate, and then returned to his team with a smug expression, and the rest of the disciples of Cuiliufeng immediately cheered loudly, welcoming him like a hero.
In the team of Bafang City, a disciple wearing a robe sewn from various colors of square cloth walked out slowly, and without saying a word, he took a life and death token and returned to the team, but he did not receive the cheers of his fellow disciples, but many people whispered: "How dare he take a piece back?"
The invincible talents withered, and several juniors who were named by Zheng Fengze that day were calm and unmoved, and it seemed that they had already made up their minds to practice on the periphery.
Although a few of the disciples of Thorn Ridge were eager to try, they were swept away by the gaze of a golden-robed elder standing in front of the team, and they all shrank back honestly.
The envoy looked at the rest of the disciples who had not yet moved, and said impatiently, "What's the matter, is there anyone else? ”
Hearing what he said, one person from each of the teams of Fengwei Hall and Yunyangling walked out, and the two disciples glanced at each other, and one of them took a token and came back. The teams of the two factions immediately thundered with joy, and all the disciples felt that their faces were greatly enhanced.
After counting the number of people, the white fat envoy nodded: "Although I don't know if you can get in alive in the end, I still have some guts." ”
There are countless sects of the Five Xuan Sects, and in just a short period of time, four people have received the token, which is really not less, the white fat messenger looked at Lingxiao's disciples: "I heard that you Lingxiao has been in a lot of trouble recently, has anyone come to receive this life and death token?"
In the Lingxiao team, Mo Junfeng turned around and glanced at Gu Yan and the others, and then took the lead in walking out, to everyone's surprise, there was more than one person who came out behind Mo Junfeng. The Gu brothers and sisters, Jiang Lei, Yan Qiuqiu and Shi Wei all followed. Ling Xiao actually went up to six disciples at once, and this scene suddenly made everyone hold their breath.
"Look at these senior brothers, that's what is called momentum, unlike some people who hide behind others for everything, and don't even dare to say a word. Xiao Zihong, who came to Zhang Zhao and Gao Yuanxing's side, said deliberately.
Zhang Zhao laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, he looked back at Xiao Zihong and asked, "Does the girl mean that you want me to go up and get a life and death token?"
Xiao Zihong said with a soft expression: "Yes, that's a real man." She wished that Zhang Zhao would go up and take a token and then be taken away and humiliated: "But I guess some people don't have the guts." ”
Zhang Zhao said without anger: "Girl, you guessed right, I really don't have the guts, I won't take this token, and in the end, some people will see the joke." ”
Xiao Zihong, who was seen through her thoughts, blushed, and looked at Zhang Zhao's hateful expression, and just wanted to go up and hit her a few times. Zhang Zhao could also sense her intentions, and looked back at the field indifferently.
After the two finished answering a few words, Zhang Zhao turned around and saw that Gao Xingyuan was also following behind Mo Junfeng and the others. Although Mo Junfeng and the others were a little surprised, this kind of thing is all voluntary, and Gao Xingyuan must have come out with confidence. So the seven of them stepped forward together and each took a life and death token and came back.
Ling Xiao was out of the limelight at this time, and the disciples of several factions were silent for a moment, and immediately burst into shouts. The white fat envoy outside the sky was obviously a little surprised, and he snorted and turned back when he looked at the excited looks of the disciples of several sects.
The people who took the life and death tokens were surrounded by their respective doors, and they rushed to see the life and death tokens in their hands. Zhang Zhao asked for the token from Gao Xingyuan's hand, weighed it, turned it over and looked at it, and felt that in addition to a few words engraved on it, it was just an ordinary piece of hardwood.
At this time, Xiao Zihong walked over: "This senior brother is really amazing, the little sister Xiao Zihong is polite." Gao Xingyuan hurriedly returned the salute when he saw it: "In Xia Gao Xingyuan, Senior Sister Xiao doesn't have to be polite." ”
"Senior Brother Gao is really courageous, unlike some people, who can only look at other people's tokens. Zhang Zhao listened to her words and hurriedly returned the token to Gao Xingyuan: "Senior Brother Gao, why did you go and get a token back? I haven't heard you mention it along the way." ”
In fact, Gao Xingyuan originally had the intention of taking the token of life and death when he came this time, and when he hesitated, he happened to listen to Xiao Zihong's words, so he ended decisively. He looked at Zhang Zhao with a worried look on his face and smiled: "Senior Brother Zhang, you don't have to worry, since I have taken this life and death order back, I am naturally confident that I can keep it." ”
In the next two days, the disciples of the various factions of the Five Xuanshang arrived one after another, and nearly 10,000 people were already stationed on the outer edge of the withered yellow circle. In the past two days, Zhang Zhao has laughed at Xiao Zihong's provocations, and Gao Xingyuan has been playing round from time to time. Gradually, Xiao Zihong and Gao Xingyuan became familiar with each other, and their hatred for Zhang Zhao also disappeared a little.
Zhang Zhao was under the operation of the Ten Thousand Spirits Technique, and he was aware of the changes in the spiritual power around him, and on this day, he felt that the spiritual power introduced into his body seemed to be a little stronger, when he heard a few horns sounding from the huge white tent.
"The realm of life and death is about to start, and the elders of each faction quickly retreat, and from now on, the disciples of each faction who have obtained the life and death order will gather here every day to accept everyone's challenge. The fat white messenger stood in front of the tent and shouted.
"It's about to start so soon, you guys be careful. Yan Fengwu and the Shi family brothers told their disciples. "The three of us are gone, and if we don't leave, when the aura vortex is complete, it will be troublesome. ”
The elders who had come from the leaders of the various sects of the Five Xuan Sects began to leave one after another. Yan Fengwu explained a few more words to Mo Junfeng, and followed the elders of several factions on the return journey.
"It's up to us next. Mo Junfeng looked in the direction of the white tent with a serious expression. Beckoning the disciples of the rest of the sects who had received the tokens of life and death, a group of eleven people walked towards the white tent.
In the various stations under the gray crater, people kept coming out in a sporadic manner and gathering in front of the white tents. According to the arrangement of the blue sky outside the sky, stand in a wide grass along the two hundred circles marked in advance. Wait for someone else's challenge.
The disciples of the various sects also gradually approached, gathered around these circles and looked at their fellow disciples. Although this kind of competition has been heard by the predecessors of this sect, it is the first time that each of them has experienced it for themselves.
Among the disciples who came to the realm of life and death, there was hardly a direct descendant of the famous sect of the Five Xuanshang, just as Hong Ji'an, the Xuanmu chief of the Lianqin Pavilion on Lingxiao, said, how could those children of wealthy families with noble status come to such a place where they would lose their lives at any time without the protection of their seniors.
But among the people who received the token of life and death, some of them were obviously cultivating well, and the expressions on their faces were quite relaxed. Feeling the increasingly tense atmosphere around him, a short-haired man in a yellow robe took the lead and stepped into the circle in front of him.
At first glance, Zhang Zhao thought that this big man was Zhong Buqu, this man was burly, and he was holding a black giant sword that was four feet long and half a foot wide, and looked thick and heavy. The yellow-robed man walked into the circle in front of him and thrust his giant sword into the ground. Then sit down cross-legged.
"Panshi Gate Yang is here, whoever wants a token will come up to fight. This strong man's signing up for the battle was very heroic, and even the white fat messenger nodded: "It is worthy of being a disciple of the Xuantu Domain Sect, and he has some courage." ”
Everyone looked at the obviously heavy and abnormal giant sword in front of Yang Jun and secretly measured it, the Rock Gate is one of the five famous sects in the Xuantu Domain, although this Yang Jun is not famous, but at first glance, he is fierce and heavy, and he is definitely not easy to mess with.
With Yang Jun taking the lead, the disciples of all factions also learned from each other. A kind young man with a smile on his face slowly walked into his circle: "Sword Valley Wu Wenxin, please feel free to fight." After speaking, he sat down cross-legged, and a long sword with blue light jumped out of his back silently, hanging half a foot in front of him. Wu Wenxin closed his eyes and was silent, and he actually raised his sword to breathe in front of everyone.
"I'm from the Flame Hall, and Lu Sheng is here. A stocky young man dressed in red stepped out and stood in the circle with a heavy iron rod on his shoulder.
The Five Xuan disciples who had received the Life and Death Token followed suit, and they were all ready for a while, and at the northernmost end of the two hundred circles, there were more than twenty young people who were obviously not Five Xuan cultivators, and they saw that the Five Xuan Cultivators had already stood up, and then they began to enter the circle.
A man in a black robe with empty hands was the first to sign up: "Jiuyou Wei Tiesheng." Although this man did not look very old, his face was full of fine wrinkles, and his pale face had a cold expression, and he looked demonic.
A man in his twenties beside him, but with a full face of flesh, shouted fiercely: "Nine Shadows Yan is not happy. This man wore a pair of strange crimson skin-like gauntlets from his arms to his fingertips, and walked into the circle in a few steps, looking at the people of Wuxuan like a bloodthirsty beast.
"As I said earlier, none of us are inferior to Lao Yan, as long as he stands up, he will ensure that no one dares to challenge. It's like we have to work hard. With some lazy words, a handsome young man in a cyan power suit with clear eyebrows dragged a double-pointed fork that was a cut longer than his body and stood in the circle: "Nine Shadows Leaf Qinghe, please be merciful." ”
At this time, a cultivator wearing ochre-red soft armor slowly walked out of the Nine Shadows team. He carried a three-foot sheathed knife at his waist, but he wore a leather helmet on his head, which covered his entire face tightly, except for two thin slits in his eyes. This person approached in a few steps, and Ye Qinghe, who was still smiling just now, smiled and was full of wariness.
"Nine Shadows Lu Yingda. This person's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't tell his actual age, but Zhang Zhao found that the people of the Nine Shadows beside him seemed to be a little jealous of him.
"This is the Blood Knife Lu Yingda?" some of the disciples in the Five Xuan who had heard this person's name secretly discussed. Zhang Zhao looked back at Xiao Zihong and asked, "Senior Sister Xiao, is this person very famous?"
Xiao Zihong sneered: "You are really ignorant of this dirt bun, and this girl feels embarrassed to stand with you." But in the past few days, she has not hated Zhang Zhao's unintentional words that day: "For the sake of you calling me a senior sister, this girl is very benevolent, so I will tell you about it." ”
It turned out that this Lu Yingda had been a debt collector for several years, no matter how many debt evaders escaped, and how many master guards around him were all missing. Legend has it that there was once a man who owed a huge debt to the Nine Shadows, and hired a warrior from the Upper Three Realms to protect him, but he was killed by Lu Yingda.
That achievement made Lu Yingda famous among the young generation of Jiuyou. even overshadowed the most prestigious of the Nine Shadows, the wizard Xiang Qiufeng who broke through the Upper Three Realms at the age of nineteen. After all, Xiang Qiufeng's breakthrough was just a rumor, but Lu Yingda really crossed the level and killed a high-level cultivator.
"Why hasn't he broken through to the Upper Three Realms yet?" Xiao Zihong knew a lot about this elite disciple of the Nine Shadows. "I heard that there were many wounds on his face, which were very terrible, so he wore a mask and refused to show it in front of people. ”
"He not only kills people who don't pay their debts, but also shows no mercy in the martial arts competition in the Nine Shadows, claiming that the knife is not stained with blood and does not return to the sheath, which is called the bloody knife. ”
Zhang Zhao listened energetically: "Senior Sister Xiao, how can you even know these things?" Xiao Zihong smiled proudly: "Characters like your senior sister and me, of course, you have to find a well-known Ruyi Langjun, and of course you have to inquire clearly about what happened on the five mysteries." ”
Looking at Lu Yingda, who seemed to smell of blood from a distance, Zhang Zhao asked in surprise: "Senior Sister Xiao, you can't take a fancy to him, right?" Xiao Zihong chirped: "Nonsense, people from the Nine Shadows can't get wet, even if he cultivates to the sky, our Five Shadows can't be related to the Nine Shadows." ”
Zhang Zhaoqi said: "It's not that Wuxuan and Jiuyou ceased war decades ago, how can they join forces?" Xiao Zihong replied angrily: "I don't know this, in short, it just doesn't work, there will definitely be no good results." ”
Seeing that the two hundred disciples of various factions who had received the token of life and death were already in place, the envoy of the blue sky outside the sky raised his voice and shouted: "Now start the free challenge, one-on-one fair duel, the winner can hold the token of life and death, each person can only be challenged twice a day, if you think you are invincible, you can just give up." ”
