"Don't be nervous!" Lilun saw through Xu Chen's mind as if she could read minds, and she smiled and said, "This refuge is only ten days for you. ”

"What do you mean by this, just because I can't draw my sword, so you want to drive me away?" Although he was silent on the surface, secretly Xu Chen had quietly condensed the true qi in his body in his palm.

"I don't want to drive anyone away, but you're going to die if you don't get out of here. ”

Li Lun sighed, and then said: "Every inch of this place is still full of the divine power of adults, and for a spirit beast like me, who has lived in the mountains since childhood, it is naturally adapted to its existence. But you're different, your mortal body can't resist the ubiquitous pressure in the space at all, and you can't notice it now, but after ten days, its side effects will completely explode, and if you don't leave, your body will be torn apart!"

Xu Chen was taken aback when he heard this, and he couldn't help muttering, "You mean to say that I only have ten days to pull out the divine sword, otherwise I will definitely die?"

That's pretty much what it means. But for you, it may only be nine days. ”

"Why is the time to get to me shortened again?" Xu Chen shouted, feeling that this kind of differential treatment was too unfair to him.

"For you must save not only yourself, but also your friends. As he spoke, Lilun stretched out his hand and pointed behind him.

Looking at the three monsters that stood upright in the cold wind and had turned into stone statues, Xu Chen's heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously asked, "Do you mean that if you can't let them return to their original state within nine days, they will become stone statues forever?"

"No, it's worse than that. Lilun said: "Your friend has been poisoned, and this poison made by the Huai Ghost is very vicious, it not only makes the body of the poisoned person gradually petrified, but also devours the soul of a person. And this process only takes ten days, after this time period, the soul of the poisoned person will be completely annihilated, and the Huai Ghost will be able to turn him into his own puppet and use it against other cultivators who have entered the mountain!"

Xu Chen's heart tightened again, he couldn't imagine the terrifying scene when Mo Li turned into that ugly bird demon to deal with him.

In a trance, he heard Lilun say again: "There is no cure for this demon poison, the only way is to kill the Huai ghost! Only when he dies will the poison on your friend's body disappear automatically, and he will return to his original appearance." ”

Xu Chen said in a deep voice: "If you kill the Huai Ghost, can you end everything and save all the poisoned?"

"No, it can only save your friends. The cultivators who had become puppets in the past had long since become empty shells without self-awareness, and they would disappear into this world forever with the death of the Huai Ghost. ”

Xu Chen couldn't help clenching his fists, hating the Huai Ghost in his heart, but he found that he had no way to deal with this hateful monster.

Lilun then said, "So you must draw this divine sword in every possible way in nine days. Otherwise, you and your friends will die!"

Xu Chen suddenly realized that there was not much time left for him, and if he didn't have the ability to pull out the divine sword, everything would be over.

"I'll try again!" Xu Chen was really unsure, but he had to try hard.

This is not only to leave Huaijiangshan alive, but also to rescue the three partners who have been poisoned and turned into stone statues.

He gripped the hilt of the sword again and again and pulled it up hard, almost using all his strength, even letting the true qi in his body consume very little, but he still refused to give up.

Lilun stood behind Xu Chen, quietly watching him blush again and again to do those useless work, and finally realized that Xu Chen was exhausted and had serious physical overdraft, so she said leisurely: "That's it for today, it seems that we will change our way tomorrow." ”

"Is there another way?" Xu Chen was stunned, he suddenly became angry, and said secretly in his heart: "Since there is another way, why didn't you say it earlier, you have to let me go abroad here!"

Before he could question Lilun angrily, the other party had already said with a smile: "Start your cultivation tomorrow, I hope you can quickly break through the Refining Void Realm." ”

Xu Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "What does drawing a sword have to do with cultivation?"

"The higher your cultivation, the higher the chance of pulling out the Excalibur. ”

"Since that's the case, your cultivation is much higher than mine, why don't you come and pull it out, but let me, a person with low cultivation, pull it out?" Xu Chen asked her coldly, sensing the strangeness.

"Hehe, do you think I don't want to?" Lilun pursed his lips and sneered, and walked over to reach out and touch the hilt of the sword that was exposed to the ground.

Suddenly there was thunder in the sky, and a golden light shot out from the hilt of the sword like a sharp arrow, if it wasn't for Lilun retracting his hand in time, I am afraid that there would be a blood hole in her soft palm as white as jade.

"Why is this happening?" Xu Chen was immediately taken aback, realizing that he was wrong to blame Lilun.

"Lord Ying Zhao set up a divine spell in the body of the sword that only the gods of Kunlun are qualified to use, except for humans, other races, whether he is a demon, a ghost, or even a god himself, cannot touch this sword. Otherwise, you will be devoured by the powerful power contained in the sword, and your life will be lost. ”

"What kind of bullshit setting is this! I think Yingzhao is an old fool, since I expected that the Huai Ghost would be ferocious, just hand over the sword to Lilun for Tianxingdao, and it will be over, but I want to do so many ghost tricks, is this not sure if it is a pit man?"

Xu Chen scolded secretly, a little indignant in his heart, but more panic.

He felt that he had no ability to draw the divine sword at all, and it would be even more unreliable to rely on what Lilun said to try again after cultivating to a higher level.

You must know that in the previous cultivation process, he had always been stuck at the top of the Refining Void Realm, and he couldn't successfully break through to the Xuantian Realm, and now he only had less than ten days of work, how could he quickly improve his cultivation!

In desperation, Xu Chen told Lilun about the worries in his heart, but after hearing this, Lilun just smiled slightly, staring at him without blinking.

Xu Chen suddenly blushed, thinking that Lilun looked down on him, and just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, he heard her ask with a smile: "Why are you so unconfident in yourself?"

"So many seniors can't pull out the divine sword, and if you know that your qualifications are low, it's even more impossible to surpass them. ”

"No, I'm very confident in you!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lilun shook his head and said in a very affirmative tone, "It's not a matter of faith, but because you are the chosen one who is destined to pull out the divine sword." ”

Even Xu Chen was embarrassed to listen to these sycophant words, and he said embarrassedly: "Hehe, the girl is really good at joking, you are too high-minded." ”

"Do you think I'm joking?" Lilun's expression suddenly became serious, "Lord Yingzhao left me a last word before he died, but I never really understood the meaning of the conversation, until I saw you last night, I knew that the Lord had already arranged everything in the dark, and chose you to end the messy situation in Huaijiangshan now." ”

"It can't be that the great god told you my name, right?" Xu Chen's eyes widened, how could he believe that there was such a coincidence in the world.

"Of course not. Lilun pursed his lips and smiled, and then said: "My lord told me that in the future, there will be a young man who will come to Huaijiangshan, he is not willing to be an evil puppet, but to be a hero who stands up to the sky, and finally he pulled out the divine sword with his tenacious fighting spirit and swept away all evil. ”

"There are countless young people in this world, how does the girl know that what the great god of Yingzhao is talking about?" Xu Chen touched the back of his head embarrassedly, even more embarrassed.

"I've always misunderstood what adults mean before, but today I don't make a mistake anymore. ”

Seeing the look of doubt in Xu Chen's eyes, Lilun said: "In the past, I thought that the focus of the adult's words was tenacious fighting spirit, so for nearly a thousand years, I have been using bravery as the standard, looking for someone who can draw the divine sword among the cultivators who have entered the mountain, but in the end, I have found nothing. ”

After a pause, she continued, "It wasn't until you appeared in Mount Kinabalu that I knew that the key word in the adult's words was not to be an evil puppet. ”

Xu Chen couldn't help but interject and said: "I don't think there's anything special about this, as long as you know the truth, you won't be willing to be a puppet of the Huai Ghost." ”

"It's not a matter of reluctance, but only you have no possibility of being his puppet, because you have a trait that ordinary people don't have, that is, you are invincible!"

Xu Chen was stunned on the spot, but when he calmed down and pondered Lilun's words, he found that what she said was not unreasonable.

No matter how powerful the demon poison of the Huai ghost is, it will not take care of himself, which means that even if he steps into the ghost gate, he will not become a puppet that he can control.

"It's time for you to take my word for it. Please come with me and I will help you as much as I can. Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, but still followed her in the opposite direction of the Divine Tomb.

Along the way, I don't know if it was because of the nervous hallucinations or some other reason, Xu Chen always noticed that there were bright or dark eyes behind him watching his every move.

The feeling was so real that he could even feel the hidden hostility and the sound of his breathing full of murderous intent.

This strange feeling suddenly made Xu Chen feel very uneasy, he suddenly looked back, only to find that there was nothing behind him, and finally he realized that he was really hallucinating because he was too nervous.

At the bottom of the cliff, Lilun took Xu Chen into a deep cave, and Xu Chen found that it was very neat inside, not only the alchemy furnace, but also many materials and medicinal materials related to it, which were neatly placed in the corner.

Xu Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and thought to himself, "Could it be that Lilun knows that his cultivation qualifications are poor, so he is ready to refine the elixir to increase his cultivation?"

But Lilun didn't look at the alchemy furnace more, but smiled and said: "This place is quiet and elegant, it is a good place to cultivate, if you don't dislike it, you don't have to go out to cultivate in the cave these days." Don't worry about three meals a day, I'll deliver them on time. ”

After speaking, she didn't care whether Xu Chentong agreed or not, and the person floated towards the outside of the cave.

"After a long time, you still have to rely on yourself, but you can't perfunctory me like this!" Xu Chen couldn't help but feel a little resentful, and was about to stop Lilun to ask about the relevant situation, but saw her suddenly turn around.

"By the way, young man, I don't know your name yet?"

"My name is ...... Xu Chen. Although he hesitated in his heart for a while, Xu Chen finally told the truth.

"Xu Chen, I remember this name. Don't be lazy, I'll come and check on your cultivation at any time. Lilun's figure disappeared outside the cave amid the nagging, leaving Xu Chen alone in a daze in the cave, complaining from time to time.

Although Xu Chen was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, after complaining, he still sat cross-legged on the futon and cultivated quietly.

There is not much time to use, and Xu Chen must cherish this short time and hope to produce miracles.

However, most of the day passed, and the joy that could make Xu Chen clearly feel progress had never appeared in the past, and he used his true qi to circulate back and forth along the eight veins of the Qi Jing for a few weeks, and there was no change in his body at all.

This situation remained unchanged for the next few days, and Xu Chen finally realized that the Xuantian Realm was a very difficult cultivation realm to reach, not only did it have extremely high talents, but its own qualifications were also far stronger than ordinary cultivators.

This couldn't help but make Xu Chen feel very frustrated, thinking that he couldn't break through the Refining Void Realm because his potential had been exhausted, and there was no room for improvement.

Just when he gave up his cultivation and sat on the futon in a daze, Lilun came in, and when he saw Xu Chen's disheartened appearance, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master Xu, what are you worried about?"

"Do you need to ask? It's not that you don't know. Xu Chen replied angrily, and when he spoke, he counted silently with his fingers, and found that there were only three days left before the deadline to save Mo Li and the others, and his tiger eyebrows couldn't help frowning even tighter.

"If there is no progress in cultivation, it is not necessarily because of my own poor qualifications, it is likely that there is a problem in my cultivation. ”

Lilun's words made Xu Chen's heart move when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you saying that I have a problem with my cultivation?" But since the first day of my cultivation, I have used the methods taught by my master, and I have not changed any other way halfway, is there a problem with this?"

"Then let me ask you, how powerful is your master's cultivation?"

Xu Chen's face suddenly turned red to the bottom of his neck, although he hadn't seen Master Nangong Muyang for a long time, but the last time he left Xuanhu Mountain, he had heard Xiao Lang say that Master had reached the same cultivation realm as himself. Facing Lilun, whose strength was unfathomable, how could he be embarrassed to say the words Refining Void Realm.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Lilun suddenly knew that Xu Chen's master was also a general, and he couldn't help but sneer in his mouth.

Xu Chen only felt that this laughter was so harsh, he suddenly lowered his face and said, "It's me who is useless, don't insult my master!"

"Hehe, I can't see that you are young, but you care about the dignity of your teacher. Li Lun retracted his smile and then asked, "Then can you tell me about the cultivation process in general, maybe I can give some reference." ”

Although it was a tone of discussion, Xu Chen still heard that Lilun's words contained extreme conceit, if it was his previous character, Xu Chen would have long been unaccustomed to her character and ignoring the other party.

But now is a critical moment, if he is going to die here, Mo Li and they will also become accomplices of the Huai Ghost, Xu Chen had to hold back the unhappiness in his heart, and told Lilun about the process of his cultivation.

"This is the most conventional way of cultivation, and it's okay to do it step by step, but it will take too long. Most human beings only have a short lifespan of a few decades, and it is not easy to reach your current refining realm, and if you want to climb up, you can only rely on talent. ”

Lilun's words reached Xu Chen's heart, he was only silent, and his heart became more and more irritable.

Lilun also said: "Geniuses have always followed a different method from ordinary people, and only in this way can it be possible to reach a higher level. With your current realm, you can abandon your original cultivation methods. ”

Xu Chen's heart moved again when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any other way to cultivate?" ”

"All roads lead to immortal paths, and you are only walking the safest and slowest way, but when it comes to convenient methods, you must first meet a prerequisite. ”

"On what terms?"

"What is it to know the truth of the universe and understand the nature of all things?"

Hearing this, Xu Chen immediately thought of what Mo Li had said before he turned into a stone statue, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Does the girl mean to comprehend the existence of Qi?"

Lilun's face suddenly showed surprise, she originally thought that this supreme truth that secretly coincided with the Great Dao of the Universe would have to be explained to Xu Chen for a long time after it was spoken, but she didn't expect him to open his mouth to say it, she couldn't help but ask strangely: "I didn't expect you to be able to comprehend this level, but why is your cultivation a mere refining realm?"

Xu Chen's face turned red again, how dare he take the opportunity to show off, and quickly told Lilun everything that Mo Li said to him that day.

Li Lun breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and cast an appreciative look at Xu Chen: "There are not many loyal people like you in the world now, if you don't understand, you don't understand, not only will you not lose face if you say it honestly, but on the contrary, you can make a breakthrough in cultivation." ”

Xu Chen asked tentatively: "I heard Brother Mo say that the reason why a god is above us is because he was born with Qi in his body, and the cultivation of all gods is based on Qi to improve his cultivation?"

"This is your friend's wrong opinion! But it's no wonder that he, a person who cultivates in the Xuantian Realm has a hard time recognizing the essence of Qi. Hearing Lilun's tone become a little conceited again, Xu Chen couldn't help but ask, "In this way, the girl's cultivation has reached the realm of gods?"

"If I had the power of God, would I still stay here?"

"This is your home, you're not here, have you ascended to the heavenly realm?"

Seeing that Xu Chen's eyes were surprised, Lilun hurriedly changed his words and said: "I mean, if I were as strong as a god, I would have killed the Huai ghost and restored the former glory of Huai Jiangshan a long time ago, and wouldn't it be a pleasure to travel all over the world without concern in the future." ”

"It's also a good idea to go out and walk around after staying in one place for a long time. Xu Chen touched his head embarrassedly, and then asked: "The girl has been with the Great God of Ying Zhao for a long time, so do you know what kind of profound realm the god is cultivating?"

Li Lun told Xu Chen the answer word by word: "That is the highest realm that surpasses all cultivators today, the ultimate realm above the Mixed Yuan True Qi Realm: the Void Phase Realm!"
