[New Mission: Winning the top 10 in the Zongmen Competition, rewarding the Sword Forging Tower for three years, and a map of the Ancient Secret Realm.] 】
After the system task was released, a small pagoda appeared in the aftersound consciousness. The pagoda is completely black, and the palm-sized hourglass at the top is faintly glowing with golden light.
Yu Shengsheng hid his questions about the Sword Forging Tower in his heart, and took advantage of the remaining time to continue to collect the remaining treasures.
The previous fight with Yi Xuan and Qiwen consumed too much time, so much so that most of the places were not visited, which is really a pity.
After a few hours, the sound of the quaint and melodious bell reached everyone's ears, and they either gathered the resources around them more quickly, or waited for them to be teleported.
Then a white light appeared, and everyone in the secret realm came to the door of the secret realm. What makes people feel funny is that almost everyone has changed into black clothes, and their faces are also covered with magic weapons. At the moment of leaving the secret realm, the monk with a little family background crushed the teleportation array and left, and what remained in place was another bloody storm.
Yu Shengsheng did not choose to return to the sect, but went to a city belonging to the monks-Ember Heaven City.
There was an extremely powerful barrier outside the walls of Ember Sky City, and when she stepped into the barrier, she could clearly feel two powerful forces probing her body.
There were many people around who were blocked by this barrier and divine sense. She glanced back, some were demon cultivators, and some were mortals. Although their races are different, they retain the same purpose - to enter this holy place that belongs to cultivators.
The two soldiers at the gate of the city were dressed in red strongsuits and wore the emblem of Ember Sky City on their shoulders, and they were the third line of defense of Ember Sky City, which was used to stop those who used crooked ways to evade divine sense.
There are many legends about Ember Heaven City, some say that the city lord's deceased wife was rescued by cultivators, and some say that the city lord of Ember Heaven City was jointly elected by several major sects to win over the hearts of the cultivators.
There are many rumors that are true and false, and you can write a few books, but only one thing is true, that is, Ember Sky City doesn't care about your origin, and it doesn't care about the level of your cultivation. The only requirement is that you must be a cultivator! Neither the demon cultivators nor the mortals were under the protection of Ember Heavenly City.
This city is called a small cultivation realm by many people, and the foundation in the city is even no less than a medium and large sect!
The sun hung high overhead, and the blinding light made it impossible to open your eyes. The team moved slowly, but it was a good thing that it was a little while.
The two monks stationed at the city gate smiled kindly, and handed her a small iron plaque: "Welcome to Ember Heaven City, the home of the cultivators. ”
Yu Shengsheng smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
It's no wonder that Ember Sky City can attract so many monks, and a good attitude can make people feel a different kind of belonging.
Entering the city, the crowd of people coming and going all had kind smiles, and the occasional noise was quiet.
Yu Shengsheng didn't stay long, and after buying a little daily necessities, he rented a stone house and began to practice.
The Sword Forging Tower jumped out of the divine consciousness and stood firmly in the stone house, with a small body. Yu Shengsheng's heart moved, and she saw the tower body light up at random, and a powerful suction force sent her into the tower.
The tower was pitch black, and a few candles were like wandering insects, swimming back and forth in the tower. Looking up, the vast and brilliant galaxy is like a ribbon pouring down from the top of the tower.
Yu Shengsheng subconsciously wanted to take a closer look with his true qi, but found that all the true qi in his body was sealed at some point. Just when she was extremely confused, a crisp and playful child's voice sounded in her ears: "Welcome to the Sword Forging Tower, I am Ta Ling." The casualties in the Sword Forging Tower are not linked to the outside of the tower, so please challenge the challenger to attack the tower with all your might. ”
"Death is the best way you can grow."
"Tower attack begins."
After saying that, before she could figure out the mechanism of the Sword Forging Tower, a white-clothed puppet appeared around her, with a face no different from herself.
The puppeteer didn't wait for the sound to prepare, and attacked her directly. She wanted to use her True Qi, and then remembered that her True Qi had been sealed. I have no choice but to use the most primitive way - physical arts.
At first, the aftermath wins very quickly, and often kills the puppet in one or two moves. But the number of layers is gradually rising, and the puppet people are getting more and more powerful.
I don't know how long the battle lasted, but the aftermath of the sound dried up in her throat like a desert under the scorching sun, and the smell of rusty blood lingered in her mouth and went straight to the top of her head, making her very uncomfortable. She finally knew what she lacked, and her over-reliance on true qi made her forget the most basic thing - physical arts.
Regardless of the miscellaneous sword marks on his face, he wiped the blood that overflowed from his mouth. looked at the puppet in front of her who was exactly the same as her like a lone wolf who had been hungry for a long time.
The four puppets wrapped the aftersound in the middle, and the strong wind from their legs lifted the black hair of the aftersound.
A few more punches slammed into her chest, and Yu Shengsheng was forced to take a few steps back by the force, and a large mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground, which quickly merged with the black floor and disappeared.
Yu Shengsheng picked up the sword, and every move was the most basic sword move. Falling, getting up, getting hurt doesn't care, she has only four enemies in her eyes.
But the gap in the body can be changed with a few moves, and physical skills are something that needs to be practiced day and night.
The puppet stabbed her from all sides, sword in hand. Without True Qi, she couldn't jump into the air like she had in the Introductory Trial, and she could only be pierced through her body by four swords.
Obviously, she had already come up with several plans in her mind to dodge and even kill the puppet, but her body was not enough to support her actions.
There is no doubt that she was killed.
With the next breath, Yu Shengsheng was sent out of the Sword Forging Tower and sat down in the stone house. There were not a single wound on his body, and the pain in his muscles disappeared, and the previous confrontation with the puppet was like a dream.
But the pagoda in front of her, which never disappeared, told her that she was not dreaming.
After adjusting her breath, she was once again sucked into the pagoda, and she stood on the floor where Shi Cai was killed, and the familiar puppet stood quietly seven steps away, everything was exactly the same as at the beginning.
Death, resurrection, death, resurrection......
Life and death continue to circulate, and the aftermath gradually feels numb. It can be seen with the naked eye, the sword moves are no longer bells and whistles, there are no superfluous movements, and every move hits the point.
Sword moves are no longer made for the sake of good looks, sword moves are made for the sake of defeating the enemy.
She and Sword are no longer two different individuals. Now she is the sword in her hand, and the sword in her hand is her.
Although Yu Shengsheng has not yet forged his natal sword, he has been with the sword in his hand for a while, and one person and one sword can occasionally resonate a little.
As Yu Shengsheng grows, the sword in her hand is the one that feels it the most.
The sword body buzzed a few times, as if excited about her growth.
