Chapter 40, Ethereal City

Kaiyuan Sect, He Wentian sat alone in the small courtyard, looking at the scene in front of him, more than a month ago, Li Lei's figure of practicing swords here resurfaced, and everything seemed to happen yesterday.

Li Lei's every move, every style, every hand raised, and every step at the beginning were so familiar.

He Wentian sat there silently closing his eyes, looking at the past, two old tears flowing down his wrinkled cheeks.

At this time, Yue Xiu walked over, looking at He Wentian's expression, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

Since Li Xun's accident and Li Lei's disappearance, He Wentian seems to have changed as a person, He Wentian used to have a smile on his face at any time, but now he has few words, and he often stays alone where he is.

"Master, are you thinking about the little junior brother again?" Yue Xiu understood, but still asked.

Hearing Yue Xiu's words, He Wentian slowly opened his eyes and said: "Xiu'er, you are the smartest of your senior brothers, and the master also likes you the most, in a few days, you will follow the master to the Liuli Sect for a trip, and after you come back, the master will teach you the position of the sect master of the Kaiyuan Sect." ”

"Master, no!"

Yue Xiu was extremely shocked when he heard this, and immediately exclaimed: "Master, the apprentice doesn't dare to take on this heavy responsibility, and the master is in the prime of life, why did he suddenly say such a thing?"

He Wentian shook his head with a wry smile, stood up and said with a smile: "In fact, the master has long had the intention of passing on the message to you, and he has also discussed with the elders of the sect, you are the best candidate, the master has been really tired all these years and wants to rest." ”

He Wentian's words were full of thick vicissitudes.

"Master, senior brother and junior brother they haven't come back, junior brother will definitely be able to find it, don't worry about it first. ”

Hearing Yue Xiu's words, He Wentian looked into the distance, the sun gradually set, and the red light of the sunset showed a sadness on He Wentian's face.

"It's impossible, it's been a month, not only are we looking for it, but also the Liuli Sect and the Tianyuan Sect are looking for it with all their might, and now there is no news, Xiao Lei is more auspicious and less auspicious, okay, let your brothers and sisters come back, and you will go to the Liuli Sect with me in seven days." ”

Yue Xiu still wanted to say something, but he didn't know that the time of one month could be said to have turned over the territory of Tianyuan Sect, and even the territory of Liuli Sect was searching, but there was still no news of Li Lei, and everyone's hearts were slowly cold at this time, and they did not have any hope for Li Lei's vitality, leaving only that strong nostalgia and concern.

In the realm of the Immortal Sect, Li Lei and the four of them have been whipping up for more than six days.

Dan Yuanzi looked at Li Lei and said with a smile: "Senior brother, we will arrive at Ethereal City in half a day's journey, and then we will rest in Ethereal City, and we will not go to Ethereal Peak until the day of the sword test." ”

Hearing Dan Yuanzi's words, Li Lei frowned;

"Senior brother, why don't we go directly to the Ethereal Peak, but instead stay in the Ethereal City, don't we go back to the mountain gate?" Li Lei's words were filled with a little dissatisfaction.

Seeing Li Lei's confusion and dissatisfaction, Dan Chengzi immediately explained: "Uncle Shi, you misunderstood, there are many disciples of my Immortal Sect, and every time the Sword Ceremony returns to the sect, there are also an unusually large number of people who return to the sect, if everyone goes back, then our Immortal Sect will not be overcrowded, and it will be difficult to have a place to live, so we are testing the sword in batches, and each batch will have an elder test, and when it comes to us, someone will come to inform you, Uncle Shi, don't worry." ”

After hearing this, Li Lei nodded and said, "So that's the case, it seems that the Immortal Sect is worthy of being the sect with the most disciples of the four major sects." ”

Hearing Li Lei's approval, the faces of the three Tianyuan Sect masters and apprentices all showed a proud countenance.

And Li Lei continued to ask, "Then what about the Weishenme Immortal Sect Shili is still under the Tianyuan Sect?"

Dan Yuanzi shook his head with a wry smile: "In fact, the strongest of our four major sects should be Huazong, but there are too few disciples of Huazong, and they rarely get involved in mortal things, and they don't pay attention to the ranking of the sect, followed by Tianyuan Sect, I have heard the master say before that the reason why Tianyuan Sect is strong is because Tianyuan Sect's Tianyuan Sword Technique is really sharp, except for Huazong, Immortal Sect and Liuli Sect are difficult to match, so Tianyuan Sect is established as the first sect." ”

"Oh, is the Tianyuan Sword Technique really so powerful?"

Dan Yuanzi's words once again aroused Li Lei's curiosity, because Tianyuan Sect was destined to be Li Lei's enemy, and one day in the future, Li Lei would stand on the opposite side of Tianyuan Sect.

"I don't know this very well, when the specific time comes, you ask the seniors of the Immortal Sect, with your cultivation talent, after you arrive at the Immortal Sect, you will definitely be valued by the Immortal Sect, and then you can ask. ”

After Li Lei heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, nodded and followed the three of them towards the ethereal city in the south.

Ethereal City, the most spectacular city in the Tianyuan Continent, surrounded by mountains on three sides, backed by the first dangerous peak of Tianyuan, the Ethereal Peak, and the rest of the peaks are the sub-peaks of the Ethereal Peak, the city is in the center, a sky-high waterfall falls down according to the Ethereal Peak, passes through the Ethereal City, is extremely spectacular.

At dusk that afternoon, Li Lei and the four of them came to the outside of the ethereal city.

It's just that he was still unmoved when he heard it, and when he arrived here, Li Lei's heart couldn't help but feel novel.

I saw three mountain peaks straight into the sky, at a glance, only the middle of the mountain, on which is full of white clouds to cover the top, a sky-high waterfall seems to fall from the sky, extremely magnificent, like a fairyland, and a magnificent city is located in the center of the three mountain peaks as if it is natural, showing the trend of three sides, leaving only the only way out in front of you.

And from time to time, people can be seen stepping on flying swords and heading straight towards the mountain peaks.

Seeing Li Lei's shocked appearance, Dan Yuanzi smiled and said: "Senior brother, don't you feel very shocked, I think when I first came to Ethereal City, I also stood here, looking at the scenery in front of me as well." ”

Saying that, Dan Yuanzi pointed to the person who stepped on the sword in the air and smiled: "This is the sword art of my Immortal Sect's famous continent, only after becoming a disciple of the Immortal Sect can you practice, this time we will also be a disciple of the Inner Sect, and we can cultivate it when the time comes, and in the future, we no longer need to walk on horseback, and the long sword is under your feet, and you can go anywhere in the world,"

Looking at the ingenious city in front of him, Li Lei still stayed there as if he hadn't heard Dan Yuanzi's words, and sighed after a long time: "What an ethereal peak, what an ethereal city." The words were full of shock and exclamation.

"Let's go, let's go into town. ”

Saying that, the four of them went directly to the city, and when they arrived at the city gate, someone came to receive them, and when he saw Dan Yuanzi, he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Dan Yuanzi, this is the first time you have come back, can you be sure this time?"

Dan Yuanzi looked at the man in the white robe and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am absolutely sure this time, and I will invite you to drink at that time." ”

"Haha, I'm waiting for your wine. ”

With that, Li Lei and the four of them handed over their horses to others and walked towards the city on foot.

Just like in the city, Li Lei was even more surprised, because the city was not as lively as Li Lei imagined, everyone was extremely simple, not shouting like a busy city, but calmly doing small business, extremely gentle, with a peaceful face.
