readx;?“ This...... Sect Master, would it be better to retrieve the Night Dragon Sword earlier?" Feng Ziquan couldn't help but hesitate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The time has not come, and it is useless to take it back now. For the time being, let that little baby help us keep the Night Dragon Sword. All you have to do is send someone to watch his movements. A fluttering voice came out.

"Sect Master, wouldn't it be more reassuring to bring the Night Dragon Sword back to the sect? The disciple suspected that the kid already knew the secret of the Night Dragon Sword. Feng Ziquan said.

"That's why I decided to keep the Night Dragon Sword in the custody of that little baby for the time being. A fluttering voice said.

"Why?" the disciple was puzzled. Feng Ziquan frowned.

"I want to see how much the Dragon Family has now, if they really have the ability to complete the Night Dragon Sword. Then let them toss, and then we will have a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? A fluttering voice said.

"I see! The disciple has been taught!" Feng Ziquan said.

"Sect Master, do you want to reveal the target we found to the Long family?" Feng Ziquan continued.

"No, we have to keep a backup, just in case. A fluttering voice said.

"I wonder if the sect master has found out the details of that target?" Feng Ziquan said.

"It's a matter of confidentiality, so I can't tell you about it for the time being. All you need to know is that the strength of the target is far greater than our budget. Non-force can be subdued, and we must find another way. If the Long family can find a more suitable target, it will save us a lot of effort. A fluttering voice said.

"Hmm...... The disciple retired for the time being. Feng Ziquan groaned.

Two days later, Tianwu Academy, in the dormitory of Huangshi 4000.

"Hmm, you haven't found a suitable spirit sword yet, and it seems that you are not very anxious to retrieve the Night Dragon Sword. Is it because your Yiquan Sect is not sure to complete the Night Dragon Sword for the time being?, or is it something else?" Long Aotian looked at the envelope in his hand and pondered.

"You guys aren't in a hurry, but it makes me feel like I'm holding a hot potato. Still, I accept the challenge. After all, a lot can happen in two years, isn't it?Didn't this Night Dragon Sword also fall into my hands a year ago?" Long Aotian smiled indifferently while slowly putting away the envelope.

A few months later, Tianwu Academy, inside the Tianxuan Library Pavilion.

"Cousin, Sister Lingyue has just received news from the crown prince that the Holy Shadow Heavenly Miracle will be opened soon. Bai Yun dreamed.

"Holy Shadow Heavenly Trace, what is that?" Long Aotian wondered.

"Where do I seem to have been...... Heard. Si Wushuo frowned and recalled, but in the end, he didn't remember.

"It's a real fantasy world. Nalan Lingyue said.

"The real illusory world?" Long Aotian said curiously.

"That was the ancient period, the only monarch in the entire Tianwu Continent, the Heavenly Martial Emperor refined the Vast Divine Artifact. In historical records, after Emperor Tianwu led all the human powerhouses to finally drive the demons back to the demon realm, in order to cultivate more outstanding juniors to resist the possible re-invasion of the demons in the future. So the Emperor of Tianwu summoned seven peak and honorable powerhouses in the Tianwu Academy, and used the Seven Exquisite Stones of the Supreme Treasure as a container to refine a magnificent artifact, which was named the Holy Shadow Heavenly Trace. Nalan Lingyue said.

"Is it a top-level artifact?"

"I don't know, it's rumored that the Holy Shadow Celestial Miracle has gone beyond the realm of ordinary artifacts. It is no longer as simple as an object, but a space, a space of consciousness, a world of consciousness. Nalan Lingyue shook her head.

"Consciousness space, consciousness world?" Long Aotian wondered.

"It's not the same space as the space ring we use. The space of consciousness is a very special space, it cannot accommodate physical objects, only consciousness. And it seems that the ability of consciousness can only be truly mastered when it reaches the Holy Level. It is said that Emperor Tianwu was already very close to the Holy Rank back then, and he was only one line away from the Holy Rank. After he vaguely came into contact with his consciousness ability, he began to concentrate on cultivation and try to break through. It's a pity that it didn't work out in the end. When the Heavenly Martial Emperor's limit was approaching, he summoned seven peak Venerable Rank powerhouses to refine the Consciousness Space Sacred Shadow Heavenly Trace with his lifelong cultivation. And this space of consciousness is a projection of the real world of consciousness.

The seven peak Venerable powerhouses who assisted Emperor Tianwu in refining the Holy Shadow Heavenly Trail were all different attributes, which were the seven attributes of thunder, wind, water, fire, earth, darkness, and light. Each of them represents the seven elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, and yang. Emperor Tianwu used his own consciousness as the illusory world consciousness of the Holy Shadow Heavenly Traces, and then used metal, wood, water, fire, and earth as the illusory material elements of the Holy Shadow Heavenly Traces, and used yin and yang to represent the illusory space and illusory time of the Holy Shadow Heavenly Traces. The result is a miraculous world of consciousness. This world of consciousness is like a real small world, capable of accommodating hundreds of thousands of consciousnesses into it. Nalan Lingyue said.

"This ...... Does it mean that the Holy Shadow Heavenly Trace is actually the Heavenly Martial Emperor, and he has continued his existence in another way?" Long Aotian wondered.

"Well, maybe that's how it can be understood. Nalan Lingyue was slightly stunned.

"Perhaps because of this, even now, almost all the monarchs and Xuanzun powerhouses are still in awe of that holy shadow heavenly trace. Nalan Lingyue added.

"Princess Lingyue, you just said that this Holy Shadow Heavenly Miracle was created in order to cultivate more outstanding juniors to resist the possible re-invasion of the demon clan in the future. Could it be that it can increase the strength of cultivators?"

"No, the Holy Shadow Heavenly Trace can't directly improve a cultivator's strength. However, it allows cultivators to truly experience life and death. Because the world of consciousness of the Holy Shadow Miracle will make it impossible for all the consciousness that enters it to distinguish the real from the illusory inside. Each consciousness in it is like gaining another life. Death inside can be said to be real death, death in another world. This is how the Holy Shadow Heavenly Trace cultivates cultivators. The Holy Shadow Heavenly Trace is opened by the Dean of the Tianwu Academy every five years, and all students of the Academy can participate. Nalan Lingyue explained.

"It can be said that the Holy Shadow Heavenly Trace is one of the three major reasons why many casual cultivators still stay in the Heavenly Martial Academy to cultivate. The other two reasons are the Tianxuan Library that we have been going to, and the ruins of the battlefield of ancient gods and demons. Bai Yunmeng said.

"Ancient Gods and Demons Battlefield Ruins?" Long Aotian couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

"Let's talk about this later, it's not far away anyway. Now let's talk about this holy shadow miracle first. Sister Lingyue, you can go on. I don't know much about this Shadow Miracle. Bai Yun dreamed.

"Hmm. Nalan Lingyue nodded slightly.

"The rules set by Emperor Tianwu in the Holy Shadow Heavenly Trail are very simple. There are 1,000 life talismans in the Holy Shadow Celestial Trace, when all the participating students have entered the Holy Shadow Celestial Trace. These thousand talismans will appear in batches anywhere in the world of consciousness. Only a few of the symbols appear in different places at a time. When a student finds the amulet and touches it, the amulet will be attached to the student. And this talisman can be taken away. As soon as someone kills the student who has the talisman, the talisman will leave the student's body.

When a thousand life talismans all appear and are held by each of the thousand students. The Holy Shadow Miracle will send out the consciousness of all the students who remain inside, closing the world of consciousness and ending the fight. And the 1,000 students who hold the talisman will be able to qualify for the next academy competition. No matter what results these 1,000 students achieve in the martial arts competition, they will have a rich reward. Nalan Lingyue said.

"This rule sounds really simple, that is, the students of the whole academy compete for the thousand life talismans. Long Aotian said with a smile.

"It's simple, but it's brutal. Nalan Lingyue smiled.

"Just get the timing right and grab the talismans when the last few talismans appear. It can also save a lot of effort. Long Aotian said with a smile.

"Long Ao Tiangongzi, Lingyue believes in your ability. But. Nalan Lingyue smiled.

"But what?" said Long Aotian with a slight raised eyebrow.

"However, after the appearance of a thousand life talismans, the Holy Shadow Heavenly Trace will not immediately end the battle. There will still be a period of time left for the students to compete for. As for the length of time, it depends on the dean who temporarily controls the world of consciousness. Nalan Lingyue smiled.

"Hmm...... It's not a big deal either. As long as a few of us work together. Out of 1,000 places, we can easily get it with our strength. "Long Ao Tiandao.

"Yes, you are all on the list. You can't leave me alone. Si Wushuo said with a smile.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Nalan Lingyue shook her head.

"Oh, why is that?" Long Aotian wondered.

"A big melee involving hundreds of thousands of people. Moreover, the various forces are intricate, and it is not easy for a few people to deal with them. Even if it is a strong Xuanjun, it can't withstand the war of attrition of thousands of people. And if there is a fight between Xuanjun and Xuanjun, if he can't win with absolute superiority. That's also the possibility of paving the way for others at any time. Nalan Lingyue said.

"A scuffle of hundreds of thousands of people...... There are indeed many variables. It seems that we must gather all the common forces in advance and obtain absolutely stable space for contention. Finally, in the infighting, see who has the more clever means. Of course, a strong combination is the best choice. But, as you said, Princess Lingyue, the various forces are intricate, but it is very difficult to do. Then we can only eradicate dissidents first. "Long Ao Tiandao.

"It is impossible to gather all the common forces in advance. For the location of each of us entering the Shadow Miracle is uncertain. Nalan Lingyue shook her head.
