Chapter 20: Apprenticeship

It is a vast grassland, flat and vast, with only slight undulations in the distance. At a glance, the scenery is in full view, and the whole land is covered with green grass, like a thick carpet, and it looks particularly fresh against the blue sky.

At this time, Ye Xiaotian was running on this grassland, and kept shouting, "Senior, senior!" The voice was very clear, and it spread far away, but the old-timer in his mouth never appeared, but Ye Xiaotian was not discouraged, he still ran and shouted tirelessly. After almost a few hours, the result did not change.

It's strange to say, this Ye Xiaotian has been running for so long, but he doesn't feel tired, and his spirit has always been very energetic. But if you look closely, you can see that this grassland is different, because it does not seem to be a real world, and there is hardly any sign of life except for the endless green grass. Moreover, the area of this grassland is constantly increasing with Ye Xiaotian's running.

Finally, a few hours later, Ye Xiaotian began to slowly slow down. He stopped, staring at the chaotic blur of space in front of him, stunned.

"What is this?Why does this kind of thing appear in the sea of my knowledge, and I don't even know!" Looking at this piece of chaos, Ye Xiaotian muttered to himself and fell into thought.

It turned out that this grassland turned out to be Ye Xiaotian's sea of knowledge, and in the sea of knowledge, as long as he didn't do anything that damaged his mental strength, people would not feel fatigued. It's no wonder that he ran for so long and didn't look out of breath.

After thinking about it for a while to no avail, Ye Xiaotian decided to test it. He walked forward slowly, and was about to reach out to touch the vague chaos, when suddenly there was an urgent cry in his ears, "Ye Xiaoyou, don't do it!"

Ye Xiaotian stopped when he heard the sound, and turned his head to follow the voice. I saw that on his right side, in the place where there was no one just now, a person flashed out of thin air, this is an old man, dressed in a moon-white robe, looking at him with a smile in his eyes at this time.

And when Ye Xiaotian saw the old man again, he was also overjoyed, and unconsciously shouted loudly, "Old man, you are here!"

The person who suddenly appeared was none other than Yuqing, who had appeared in Ye Xiaotian's sea of consciousness more than two years ago, and at this time, he was much more energetic than more than two years ago, and he was no longer so rickety and skinny. And the wrinkles on his face have completely disappeared, and he has become radiant and radiant. The crane has a childish face, warm and bright eyes, and has a touch of fairy wind and bones.

"Senior, why did you only come out now, I've been looking for you for a long time!" Ye Xiaotian said with a hint of complaint.

Hearing this, Yuqing snorted and said with a smile: "Ye Xiaoyou has been looking for me for a long time, this is my negligence, but recently, the old decay spirit is still recovering, and I really can't sense Ye Xiaoyou's call for a while! Ye Xiaoyou won't blame you, right?"

Ye Xiaotian shook his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, the old-timers have given me so much help, how can I blame the old-timers?"

Yuqing nodded and said, "Well, I said that recovering the divine soul is a very difficult thing and a long process. Especially for our profound cultivation of the Dao Method, it seems even more long!"

"Oh, that's it!" Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Since that day, Yuqing awarded "The Power of Origin" to Ye Xiaotian. In addition to Ye Xiaotian's cultivation, he would come to visit him from time to time, sometimes asking him about his doubts about the cultivation of the power of the source, and sometimes asking him some other things, such as Yuqing's experience, why he was in his sea of knowledge, what was the continent where there were only warlocks, and how did he get the power of the source, in short, all kinds of questions. It's just that Yuqing answered him very little, and even his name was perfunctory, but he knew everything about cultivation.

And every time Ye Xiaotian entered the sea of his own knowledge, he had to call him several times before he came out. He only said that he wanted to cultivate quietly in Ye Xiaotian's sea of consciousness in order to restore his soul, and the way he cultivated was to fall into an extremely deep sleep. That's why he couldn't respond in the first place.

Ye Xiaotian had no doubt about this, because he did see that Yuqing's mental outlook was getting better and better every time!

After being silent for a while, Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered something, he turned around, pointed to the vague space that seemed to be chaotic, and asked, "Senior, look at it, what is this, why does it exist in the sea of my consciousness? Moreover, I can't even sense them!"

Yuqing stroked his beard and said slowly: "Ye Xiaoyou, I'm afraid you don't know anything about this." Although this is your sea of knowledge, in fact, for everyone, his spiritual power is limited, for example, some exercises that consume spiritual energy, true techniques, and cultivation are extremely difficult, especially for you now, it is completely impossible to do. Therefore, the way of cultivating the truth is not only to cultivate the realm of Taoism, but also to cultivate soul power, that is, spiritual power. And this chaotic space in the sea of your consciousness is a place where your spiritual power cannot reach, if you forcibly touch it now, the result can only be damage to your divine soul and damage to your cultivation, you know?"

"Ah, that's it, huh, it's so dangerous, I almost touched it just now, but fortunately, the old-timer appeared in time to save me!" Ye Xiaotian stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and glanced at the chaotic space again rather unnaturally.

"You don't have to be too curious, as long as your spiritual power is enhanced, your sea of consciousness will naturally slowly spread to this chaotic space!

"Well, I will!" Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian nodded again

"Okay, Ye Xiaoyou. You won't ask me these questions this time, will you?" After a moment of silence, Yuqing suddenly asked.

"Well, of course not, that's ......"

"Hmm, you're saying that your long-lost master has suddenly returned to pass on all that he has learned?"

"Hmm!"

"That's a good thing, what's wrong?"

"No, I feel that Master is a very powerful person. But that's the case, if he notices that I'm practicing other exercises when he preaches me, what should I do?"

"Well, you're worried about this! Don't worry, these two exercises are very secretive, and ordinary people can't detect them, even if it's your master, it's hard to detect! Besides, even if you detect it, it doesn't matter. "The Power of Origin" is similar to the first few layers of your Heavenly Sword Gate's "Yantian Jue". After you master the power of the Origin, you can completely cultivate the last few layers of the Heavenly Technique. As for the "Soul Sutra", it is safer, because it only focuses on spiritual power, and even if it is detected, it is not okay. ”

"Oh, that's it!" Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said to Yuqing: "Then senior, I'll go out first, you can recover here!"

Yuqing didn't answer, just nodded in response. Then, a flash of light flashed, and when Ye Xiaotian looked at it again, he had disappeared in place.

Looking at the grassland that had become empty again, Ye Xiaotian pursed his lips and retreated silently.

For a long time, in a corner of the grassland, Yuqing's figure gradually flashed. In front of him, there was a black vortex in mid-air, this vortex was like a substance, and everywhere there was an extremely evil black gas, a murderous intent, rushing towards his face.

Looking at this whirlpool, Yuqing's face, which had never been shocked, was also deeply solemn.

"It's been more than two years, and after I woke up, this demon is finally going to wake up!" A solemn sigh came from the darkness.

..................

Three days later, Lanxin Courtyard. Ye Xiaotian knelt down in front of the statue of Sanqing Dao, while Tianhe, who was dressed in elegant white, stood on the side with a solemn expression, looking at the young man in blue with deep meaning.

"Xiaotian, although you and I have long been in a master-apprentice relationship. But until today, you are my true disciple of Tianhe. This apprenticeship ceremony is going to be done again!" Tianhe looked at Ye Xiaotian for a long time, and then said slowly.

"Yes, Master!" Ye Xiaotian responded respectfully, bowed to the Sanqing Dao statue nine times, turned around, and kowtowed to Tianhe nine times.

If this is the case, Tianhe said slowly: "Okay, now, you should memorize the rules of this sect again! The first rule of this sect is to respect the master first! No matter what the situation, disobeying your master is a great rebellion." Especially those who betray the master, the sect has the right and obligation to hunt down and kill to death. The second article of the rules of this sect is to avoid cannibalism with the same sect, and if there is a offender, he will abolish his cultivation and expel him from the sect. Article 3 of the rules of this sect is to avoid colluding with the disciples of the Demon Sect, if there is a violator, abolish the cultivation of the body, expel the sect, and the sect has the obligation to clean up the portal. Article 4 of this door rule ...... "There are so many things, Tianhe has said a total of twelve door rules, and realizing the terrible consequences of violating the door rules, Ye Xiaotian does not dare to be careless." Remember them one by one.

After Tianhe finished speaking, he slowed down a little, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Tian, although these door rules have been handed down by the Heavenly Sword Sect for generations, but the door rules are dead, people are alive, you will do things in the future, as long as you don't violate your original intention, you know?"

"The original intention?" Ye Xiaotian looked at Tianhe suspiciously, but he didn't understand what he meant.

It's just that Tianhe didn't have any intention of explaining, he swept around the Lanxin courtyard, sighed suddenly, and asked lightly: "Xiaotian, where did your two spirit beasts go, why didn't I see them when I came back?"

"Well, those two foodies often go out early in the morning, and I guess today, I'm going to look for the spirit grass for that stinky bird again!

"It's nothing important, just a few words?"

"Farewell, Master, where are you going?" Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be surprised.

"Where are you going? Naturally, go back to where you came from! It's time to go and finish!"

"Master, you are ...... Are you leaving?"

"Well, what, I can't bear to Master?"

"But Master, you just came back......"

"Okay, Xiaotian, how can a good man care about this matter, the Avenue of Immortality is what you should pursue the most!" After that, Tianhe didn't give Ye Xiaotian a chance to say it again, and he didn't see how he behaved, suddenly a purple-cyan fairy sword appeared in mid-air, and at the same time, the light in his hand suddenly flashed, and a purple jade appeared in his hand out of thin air.

"Xiao Tian, this jade slip records what the master has learned all his life, including the mental formulas of the first nine layers of the Yantian Jue, as well as various techniques, body techniques, sword techniques, true techniques, Qimen escape techniques, and forbidden ...... You can slowly comprehend and experience it yourself! Okay, Master should also go, if there is a fate, we can meet again!"

"Master......" Ye Xiaotian wanted to say something more, but Tianhe had already turned around, and he didn't see how he moved, so he fluttered on his sword and galloped away.

Only Ye Xiaotian was left looking at the purple light that quickly disappeared from sight, stunned.
