Chapter 226: A Dream

Spring goes to autumn, day after day, year after year, twenty years pass in the blink of an eye. The sign erected in front of Wen Xu and Changning Cave Mansion that read "Retreating, do not disturb" has long since rotted. The courtyard outside the cave was also covered with thick dust, and the flowers and trees that had been left untended for a long time continued to grow wildly because of the accumulation of spiritual energy, and became extremely prosperous. It's just that this place can't be seen as a garden for a long time, but it seems to be located in the deep depths of Lianyun Mountain and no one has entered the dense forest, which looks solemn and desolate.

But when everyone passes by, there is awe in their eyes. No one could have imagined that they would be in retreat for so long. Retreat is a very boring thing. It is human nature to yearn for freedom, but when you are in retreat, you can only stay between the world and the world, and be in the company of darkness and loneliness. Many people hope that their cultivation can be improved, but there are not many people who choose to retreat, and more people would rather choose to travel abroad, preferring to constantly play between life and death, constantly challenging themselves, constantly overcoming themselves, and enjoying the pleasure of making their cultivation go further.

But Changning, who was immersed in his own spiritual world, didn't think so. As wide as the heart is, the world is as wide as it is. For the past twenty years, she has been dual-minded, absorbing aura to replenish herself and increase her cultivation. While studying the five pictures in your mind. However, those five high-level maps are too profound, and after twenty years of time, it is long enough to digest two of them, including the star maps that have been studied before.

The first part of the star map, that is, what Changning comprehended in the demon space, is the star array that seizes the creation of heaven and earth.

The second half is the law of space. After comprehending the star map, her spatial secret technique can be regarded as a routine. It is believed that as long as her cultivation reaches the Holy Level, she will be able to teleport anywhere, and may even be able to explore the world outside the Xuanwu Continent. Able to ignore any prohibitions, formations, or seals. Enter any situation. However, it must only be that she has reached the Holy Steps. And now, her current cultivation is only the upper level of the eighth order.

Although this speed was already extremely terrifying, she felt very frustrated, because her state of mind and spiritual power had far surpassed her Xuan Qi cultivation, but because the spiritual energy she absorbed was not enough, she could not improve it again. It's like seeing Baoshan, but failing to get in.

The other picture is the law of the soul. Although Changning spent countless efforts to comprehend it, she found that she couldn't use it at all now. In the same way, it is only when you reach the Holy Rank that you can exert your full power. In other words, only when you have reached the Holy Rank can you be qualified to use the laws comprehended in these diagrams.

Changning often wondered, for these diagrams, is it just the beginning of the Holy Order? Perhaps, these things should be the things that appear in the upper realm......

However, twenty years of time have not been in vain, although she is still unable to use the laws and secret techniques comprehended in the two pictures to the fullest, but it is still possible to play three or four layers of them.

Wen Xu was not idle in the other room.

His qualifications are better than Changning's, and he absorbs aura faster. Now he is already the upper level of the ninth order. He is also dual-minded, absorbing aura while studying. However, he was not as greedy as Changning. There is only one thing he studied, and that is swordsmanship.

From the time he could walk, his grandfather taught him to hold a sword, and after he left, he began to use a sword to protect himself and his mother. The sword was arguably the most familiar thing in the world to him.

At the same time, the sword has become an indispensable part of his life.

At this time, within his spiritual world, three sword qi were emitted at the same time, one was the hegemony of the sword, the second was the killing sword, and the third was the Ruoshui sword. Everything has yin and yang, the anode produces yin, and the yin produces yang. Wen Xu's overlord sword is the sword of the world's most yang, while Ruoshui's sword is the sword of the world's most yin. Now, he hopes to be able to combine the three swords into one. Or merge two of the sword intents first. What's missing is just time.

A loud sound pierced the sky and sounded in the ears of everyone in the Xuanwu Continent. The majestic and distant voice seemed to come from the distant upper realm. At that moment, everyone fell into fear, as if the end of the world was near.

Many people prostrate themselves directly on the ground, lowering their foreheads to the ground, in the most humble gesture of trying to ask the gods for forgiveness.

Feelings of panic, helplessness, and fear spread rapidly across the continent as if they were contagious.

All the busyness has become still, all the joys and sorrows have become silence, and all the retreats have broken through.

"What happened?" That's a question that almost everyone is asking. But no one gave them an answer.

But the long lull that followed calmed many people down. Some people speculate that maybe there are strong people fighting, right? There are many words, and that kind of voice can only be uttered by a strong person above the Holy Rank. There is also speculation that perhaps someone did something that angered the gods, but they have already been punished. Soon, this idea seemed to become the only explanation.

Because a raging fire surged at the edge of the North Sea, and the flames soared into the sky, reflecting the sky of the entire northern continent in red.

This sudden fire became a powerful proof of the divine punishment of the gods. Everyone openly accepted this explanation. As for those who have other ideas, who are secretly investigating, there is no need to explain anything to others.

In the Fa Zong, Changning and Wenxu went out at the same time.

Once you wake up from retreat, twenty years have come to naught. It's like, it's just a dream. But when Changning and Wen Xu blended into the crowd again, they found that everything was wrong.

"Sister, who are you looking for?" As soon as she got out of the cave and walked into the valley, a little girl about fourteen or fifteen years old with a little boy of eleven or twelve years old looked at Changning and Wen Xu and asked curiously.

At this time, Changning was about 1.7 meters, looking like he was in his early twenties, and a black tight-fitting robe revealed his perfect figure, and his warm and agile temperament made people feel very kind. Wen Xu is 1.85 meters old and looks like he is twenty-five or sixteen years old. It's also a black robe, and her face is as delicate as a knife, but I don't know why it looks a little blurry, and after reading it, it's hard to remember. The only thing that is impressive is the cold aura that naturally exudes from his body, which seems to be able to freeze people into ice in an instant.

Liu Qing and Li Yan unconsciously took a step back.

Changning looked at the little girl's face, which was seven or eight points similar to Xiao Jiu, and only felt like a dream for a while. I didn't expect that my brother and Xiao Jiu's children were so old. When she was in retreat, she seemed to be about the same age as this little girl. Now he has become an elder. She smiled dumbly, "You should call me Auntie." ”

"Auntie?" The little girl is already fifteen years old, so naturally she can't be really naïve. She was now a mid-level cultivator who had cultivated to the fourth order. If she's not mistaken, she seems to have three aunts. Two of them were married, and the woman in front of her was wearing a girl's hairstyle. Then there is only one......

Thinking of this, she shouted excitedly, "Niangniang! Aunt and uncle are out of customs."

Her voice was like a pebble thrown into the middle of the lake, rippling in the calm and waveless lake.

The first to run out was the Jiang family.

That's right, it's Changning's mother, Jiang. After Chang'an had a child, he took the Jiang family to Lianyunshan to help take care of the child, and this stay was fifteen years.

Changning's originally firm Dao heart instantly shattered into pieces like glass smashed on the ground, and tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and she only now realized what she had missed in the past twenty years. As a child, you should be able to make sure that your parents do not travel far away. But she didn't do it, and instead disappeared from her mother's life for twenty years.

Twenty years, what a long time. The Jiang family is no longer the beautiful woman she used to be. Although the wrinkles on Jiang's face are not as deep as those of his peers, he is full of age.

Looking at his brother Chang'an in his early thirties, Xiao Jiu doesn't look much different from before, but he looks much more mature. And standing next to them was the little girl they had seen before. Changning looked at this and that, and felt mixed feelings for a while.

Wen Xu didn't expect that this retreat would take so long. He thought of his father who was far away in Shengjing, and wondered if he was so old, and suddenly felt that all the previous dissatisfaction and complaints had disappeared. He couldn't wait to go back to Shengjing to have a look.

After the family greeted, Changning, Wen Xucai, Jun Wuwu and others touched the painting.

When he saw Jun Wuwu and Li Yunhe again, Changning was really a little uncomfortable.

Jun Wuwu is still a gentle gentleman. It's just that it's no longer a beautiful boy, but a beautiful uncle. There was a long black beard on his chin, although Chang Ning felt that it was indeed very flattering to him, but it was indescribably awkward.

Li Yunhe may be because he is a father, and he seems more mature and calm than before. Moreover, he should have obtained the essence of his grandfather's swordsmanship, and there was a fierce momentum in his whole body. Seeing such Jun Wuwu and Li Yunhe, Changning and Wen Xu sighed in their hearts at the same time, it was completely different from before.

The four chatted for a while, and Changning realized that a lot had happened over the years.

In the third year of Changning and Wenxu's retreat, Jun Wuwu returned to Shengjing to marry Bai Lanzhi and brought Bai Lanzhi to Lianyun Mountain.

In the fifth year, Chang'an and Xiaojiu's first child, Liu Qing, was born.

In the eighth year, Li Yunhe returned to Fazong with the pregnant Mo Guerlan. The following year, she gave birth to her eldest son, Li Yan.

In the tenth year, the death atmosphere of the entire continent became even stronger, and the atmosphere of the entire monk world was very depressing. All humanity is in a state of panic. In the same year, a second dungeon was established in the North Sea.

In the twelfth year, the traces of demons and demons appeared frequently in the Xuanwu Continent.

In the fifteenth year, the upper echelons of people, demons, and demons have reached a strange consensus, and a change is brewing. Everyone knew that something was going to happen, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

In the eighteenth year, the plan for humans, demons, and demons to open the seal failed.

This year, that is, today, the seal in the North Sea is loose, and the seal may be opened at any time.
