When the young man held the soul guarding sword that symbolized the symbol of the sword holders of the Xishan Sword Ridge in the past dynasties, a big mountain seemed to appear on his shoulder, and the young man was a little out of breath.

At that time, he didn't understand what the sword bearer represented, nor did he understand the meaning of Zhao Xuan's doing, so the young man held the sword in a daze.

Zhao Xuan told him that there are ten percent of monks in the world, and sword cultivation should be the leader.

Chen Bugui asked him why, and Zhao Xuan just said, "Because they can't beat me."

And for Chen Bugui, who has just stepped into the initial realm, he still has a lot to learn.

Fortunately, he still has Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan told him that although he had now stepped into the initial realm, a step higher than those ordinary people or martial artists, as a monk, he was just starting out.

The path of cultivation is to absorb the starlight that exists in the heavens and the earth through one's own perception, and use the starlight to refine oneself.

The first realm, which belongs to one of the lower three realms, is the threshold for practitioners to step into, and after that, there are the middle three realms and the upper three realms.

It is said that cultivators who have passed through the Middle Three Realms will be able to fly with their swords and travel thousands of miles.

After going to the three realms, they will light up their life stars, step into the life star realm, and become an existence like a sea and mountains.

Zhao Xuan is this kind of person, and he is the best of this kind of people.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xuan now only has the strength of the Eighth Realm, and it is difficult to even condense the life star.

In the following days, Chen Bugui followed Zhao Xuan to learn kendo while consolidating his practice.

Originally, Chen Buhui expected Zhao Xuan to be able to hand him over very powerful swordsmanship, but Zhao Xuan just asked him to keep swinging his sword out of thin air, and it has always been like this.

"Zhao Xuan, you really don't have any other moves?!"

"That's it."

"Why?!"

"Because few of them can catch one of my swords."

…………

The young man was really made a little big by the increasingly loose man in front of him, and he even wondered if Zhao Xuan was deliberately cheating him.

Although the life is a little boring, the food is much better than before.

Now Chen Bugui can be regarded as a cultivator, although he is still a half-cultivator, but he is still much more powerful than before.

Now, with his own ability, he can still go to the back mountain to hunt a few beasts to improve his food.

…………

Spring goes to autumn, time flies.

A year has passed since Chen Bugui stepped into the initial realm.

In this year, Chen Bugui has learned a lot under the guidance of Zhao Xuan, in addition to the eternal sword swinging, Chen Bugui has already learned the foundation of swordsmanship.

And since stepping into the first realm, the size and figure of the young man are much better than before, and the young man who still needed to look up at Zhao Xuan a year ago is now only half a head shorter than Zhao Xuan.

During this year's time, in addition to daily practice, as long as Chen Bugui had extra time, he would drag Xiao Qi to the back mountain to collect medicine.

Although the scene a year ago left a deep memory in the hearts of the two teenagers, it did not prevent Chen Bugui from wanting to show off his desire to become a monk.

Although every time Chen Bu came back to find Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi looked at him with disdain, but he would still compromise and go into the mountains with him to collect medicine.

With the help of Chen Bugui, Xiao Qi has collected more precious herbs than Wan Yaozhai's own medicine collection team this year, so in this year, Xiao Qi has also broken away from the identity of a medicine boy.

Regarding Xiao Qi's current living situation, Chen Bugui is still quite satisfied.

Think of it as something you can do for Xiao Qi before leaving.

In the course of a year, Zhao Xuan said more than once that when the time came, he would take him out of this place.

As for where to go, Zhao Xuan never said, just said to take him to meet someone.

……

The night of early spring always carries a lingering chill, and the slight wind blows all kinds of thoughts to the sea of stars.

"It's been a long time since I've been here."

"One year and four months."

Inside the thatched house, two figures sat opposite each other, the flames of the carbon pile reflected on their faces.

A vicissitudes of life.

A vibrant.

The man stared at the young man sitting opposite, glanced at the black sword at his waist, and asked, "How many sword qi can you send out now?!"

"Three."

The boy replied truthfully.

"Cultivate three sword qi within a year...... It's barely reluctant. The man put his hands behind his head and looked at the roof.

"It's more than enough to deal with those who don't go into the stream."

Zhao Xuan remembers Chen Bugui's growth in the past year, and the ignorant teenager at the beginning has now transformed into a more mature one.

And for Zhao Xuan, Chen Bugui was able to initially master the Soul Guarding Sword in a year's time, and he was also able to integrate the sword intent seeds that he gave him, which was an unexpected joy.

But it's not enough.

"Clean up tonight, we'll be on our way tomorrow morning." Zhao Xuan sat up straight and said with a straight face.

"In such a hurry?!" Chen Bugui said in astonishment.

This is really out of common sense, just now I was talking about the sword qi, and in the blink of an eye, I have already thought about the day of departure.

"If you're willing to stay in this place forever, I didn't say anything." Zhao Xuan glanced at the young man, got up and walked towards the bed.

"I didn't say that, I left in too hasty, I have to be prepared." The boy muttered.

Looking at Zhao Xuan, who was quietly distracted and didn't pay attention to him, Chen Bugui also quieted down.

Are you still going to leave after all......

This night, Chen Bugui thought a lot, he thought about how to say goodbye to this town where he had lived for eighteen years, and also thought about what the outside world would be like after he stepped out of this town.

When the morning light tore through the darkness, Chen Bugui went out early.

He walked quietly through the streets of this town, still trying to greet the neighbors as usual.

He walked to Wanyaozhai and chatted with Xiao Qi for a long time, and finally disappeared into this town under Xiao Qi's gaze.

Since then, Izumo Town has lost the figure of a teenager.

In the world, there is one more Chen who does not return.

……

Since the dawn of time, all things in this world have complemented each other and restrained each other.

The Terrans rose to prominence in later generations, and today, along with several other races, occupy a place in this world.

As the capital of the human race, the Tang Kingdom is located in the southern border of the vast territory, and its imperial city Tiandu is located in Zhongzhou, which governs the remaining thirteen states and counties.

Regardless of the supreme prestige of the human race, counting carefully, the behemoths of the human race in the world are still a force that cannot be underestimated.

The three major academies of Tiandu, Wuliang Mountain in Changzhou, Jianling in Xishan, Taoism in Pizhou, and Shuiyun Temple in Qingzhou......

They check and balance each other, but no one is used to seeing anyone, it is nothing more than better than anyone's mouth.

But there is one exception to this, and that is Xishan Jianling.

The unique style and strength of Xishan Jianling have always been the object of criticism from other sects.

But there was a Zhao Xuan in Jianling in the West Mountain, just such a person, and he had nothing to say about the other mountain gates.

Those characters who claim to be the ancestors of the sect can't make ten moves under the hands of the younger generations, if this is spread out, wouldn't it be a big joke in the world?!

Therefore, the various sects of the sect can hide as far as they can from Jianling, for fear that the unreasonable star killer will hit the mountain gate.

But if you want to say that someone who has the strength to compare with Zhao Xuan of Jianling, it is naturally understandable that it is Jiang Qi, the sect leader of the Dao Sect.

Jiang Qi and Zhao Xuan are in the same vein.

When the two were not famous, they studied together in Yunlan Academy in Tiandu.

The teacher is from the same school and is talented.

The two of them are like a rising sun, and no one can cover the edge.

In the past ten years, the two of them have been invincible among their peers, and they have broken through the Star Realm one after another and become the pinnacle of existence among the human race.

Later, Jiang Qi became the sect master of the Dao Sect.

Zhao Xuan became the eighth generation of sword bearers in Jianling.

In ten years, Jiang Qi has been recognized by many people.

And Zhao Xuan offended wave after wave of forces.

And these forces are not sure that they will kill Zhao Xuan with one blow, so they have been waiting.

Wait for a chance to kill Zhao Xuan.

…………

On the sheep intestine path, there are two figures walking forward against the scorching sun.

The young man with the black sword on his back looked at the tireless man walking in front of him, and wailed: "I said Zhao Xuan, how long is it until I get to the place you said, I feel that I haven't gotten anywhere yet, and I have to die of exhaustion on the road first."

The man looked up at the mountain peaks looming above the sea of clouds in the distance, and said calmly, "It's almost over."

Chen Bugui listened to the man's words and looked up to the sky and sighed.

He turned his head to look at the road behind him, it had been a full half a month since Izumo Town set off to today, which really made the young man's calm heart feel restless.

Not only did I see this new thing, but the life I lived was even more bitter than when I was in Izumo Town.

"Wait for me ......"

The young man looked at the distant figure, and he didn't care about the soreness in the soles of his feet, so he staggered to follow with his waist in one hand and his sword in the other.

When the two of them came to a staircase with no end in sight, Zhao Xuan stopped.

Chen Bugui, who was following behind, looked complaining, and didn't notice Zhao Xuan who stopped in front of him at all.

"Here we are."

The man's calm voice rang out.

When Chen Bugui heard this, he suddenly had a wit.

"It's good when you arrive, and ...... when you arrive"

The boy crossed over the man, his gaze panning forward, and when he saw the staircase with no end in sight, the boy's voice full of despair resounded in the sky.

"What a fart!"

I finally finished the long journey, and now there is an endless staircase in front of the young man.

O iniquity!

A moment after Chen Bugui's wailing was heard, an old man with fairy wind bones suddenly appeared on the originally endless staircase.

"Who's making a noise here?"

"Zhao Xuan, look at it, someone is coming, someone is coming." Chen Bugui rubbed his eyes and pushed Zhao Xuandao.

"I know, I'm not blind."

The man glanced at the young man, then stared at the white-robed old man who appeared on the stone steps and said calmly.

"I want to see Jiang Qi and let him come out."

The man's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of the white-robed old man very clearly.

"Presumptuous! The name of the sect master is not allowed for you to call it at will, it is so rude, if you don't give a reasonable explanation today, you don't want to leave the top of the sea of clouds safely! ”

When the white-robed old man heard this, he suddenly looked angry, and his voice was mixed with rolling angry thunder, and he went towards Zhao Xuan and the others from top to bottom.

Then for the old man's deterrence, Zhao Xuan plucked his ears with his hand disapprenorantly, and then said casually: "You are new?!"

"What?!"

The white-robed old man was a little speechless by Zhao Xuan's sudden question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Then, before he could react, the man's rambling voice sounded again.

"It seems that Jiang Qi has been very comfortable as his sect master in the Dao Sect in the past few years." Zhao Xuan clapped his hands, then hooked his hand at Chen Bugui, and said with a smile: "Boy, give me the Soul Guarding Sword, and I will show you how to swing the sword."

Chen Bugui was stunned for a moment, sighed, and then handed the Soul Guarding Sword in his hand to Zhao Xuan.

"Since he won't come down by himself, then I have to ask you to come down." The man's fingers skimmed lightly over the blade of the black sword, and then raised the black sword high above his head.

"Look at it."

This sentence is for Chen Bugui to listen to.

The young man watched the man's every move seriously.

"Too much deception!"

On the stone steps, the white-robed old man was mighty, and between the waves of his sleeve robe, there was a starlight.

Under the stone steps, Zhao Xuan still maintained a high movement, and the momentum around his body became stronger and stronger.

Then, the black sword fell straight towards the old man.

The sword aura was rampant, and the space was shattered.

An invisible sword aura shot out with the movement in the man's hand.

Chen Bugui looked at the huge sword qi that tore through the space, and his eyes were full of consternation.

This is Zhao Xuan's sword qi?!

The white-robed old man on the stone steps looked at the rapidly expanding sword qi, and his face was full of astonishment.

Obviously, the man at the foot of the mountain is a reckless country man who doesn't know how to be polite, how can he be so powerful.

Of course, if someone else came to the door of the Taoist sect and said that Jiang Qi would come out to see me, maybe he would really be a reckless man in the countryside who didn't know how to be polite.

It's just that this time this reckless man in the countryside who doesn't know the number of etiquette is called Zhao Xuan.

"Stand down, you can't catch this sword."

A sigh sounded in the void, and then, a man dressed in a white robe and as elegant as a scholar appeared in front of the old man.

The sword qi was silent, and it went straight to the door.

But seeing the man's sleeve robe waved slightly, an invisible force suddenly burst out from his sleeve.

"Bang!"

Thunder exploded and clouds rolled.

The aftermath of the explosion of the two forces filled the entire sea of clouds, and the old man behind the elegant man avoided it, and one stumbled and fell to the ground.

The old man's face turned red, thinking that he was also a cultivator of the sixth realm, but today he was so out of shape in front of the sect master.

The old man clenched his fists at the elegant man, and glared at the man at the foot of the mountain viciously before leaving.

After the old man left, the man on the stone steps still stared at the man at the foot of the mountain without saying a word.

And Zhao Xuan also put his hands under his armpits, and he was also silent.

Chen Bugui looked at the confrontation between the two, and took the lead in breaking the calm, he walked up to the man, poked Zhao Xuan with his elbow, and asked.

"Who's that guy in white?!"

"He, he's the person I brought you to see this time, the sect master of the Dao Sect." Zhao Xuan replied disapprenously.

"Dao Sect Master?!" Chen Bugui was puzzled, "Isn't it amazing?!" ”

"It's amazing." Zhao Xuan nodded seriously, and then added, "But I'm not as good." ”

Chen Bugui could only glance at Zhao Xuan's answer, indicating that I understood.

"What do you have to do with him?!" Chen Bugui whispered suspiciously in Zhao Xuan's ear.

"Friends."

Zhao Xuan thought for a moment and replied seriously.

Hearing Zhao Xuan's answer, Chen Bugui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he was not an enemy.

"Are you going to spend it here with me all the time?!"

Just as the two were whispering, the man in white on the stone steps spoke.

"Sect Master Jiang has a lot of opportunities, I don't dare to delay your precious time." Zhao Xuan stretched his waist and handed the sword in his hand to Chen Bugui again.

"Let's go."

"Where to go?!"

"Where else can you go?! Of course, it's up the mountain, but do you really want to spend the night at the foot of this mountain?! ”

Chen Bugui reacted and hurriedly followed Zhao Xuan's footsteps.
