"Qinghe, you go to Xiao Yang, Luo Fan and I have some personal matters to discuss. ”

"Oh......"

Su Qinghe really couldn't understand what private affairs this old man and young man had, but the old dean had already spoken, and she didn't linger, nodding her head and leaving, not forgetting to glare at Luo Fan when she left.

"What do you have to say?"

Seeing the woman walk away, Luo Fan smiled bitterly.

It's a little strange about the private affairs in the old dean's mouth, and it seems that the next volume of the nameless ancient book is still with the old dean, and he has never had the opportunity to ask the old dean for it. Now he is quite familiar with the first part of the nameless ancient book, and although the chapter on spells is complex and difficult to understand, he has also learned a little, but it has never been practical.

The old dean patted Rofan on the shoulder and motioned for him to walk towards the end of the street. Countless pedestrians in different costumes lined the streets, and the two gradually disappeared into the crowd.

"Luo Fan, your current rank should be the fourth-order Mahayana of the domain realm, right?"

"Hmm. The old dean suddenly asked about Luo Fan's cultivation, Luo Fan didn't hide it, and he was not surprised that the old dean could break his true cultivation with one word, after all, he knew the old man's true identity.

The old dean glanced at Luo Fan approvingly, but this gentle and casual glance made Luo Fan feel like he was undressed, as if he had been seen all over his body.

Luo Fan couldn't help but look at this incognito and unattractive old man, and he had no objection to what Han Chen said.

"Speaking of which, I'm an old man who hasn't contributed anything to the academy......"

The old dean looked at the sky with a far-reaching gaze, and then his eyes fell on Luo Fan, and continued: "This Soul Fighting Conference has attracted much attention, Luo Fan, don't you lose the face of our Dragon Soul Academy." ”

Luo Fan's heart was slammed, the old dean's tone was calm and flat, but it fell in his ears like a thunderbolt, this sentence seemed to have a deep meaning, which made Luo Fan a little uneasy.

Luo Fan's subtle change in expression did not escape the old dean's eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his old face, and he said, "Have you made any progress in cultivation recently?"

Hearing this, Luo Fan thought for a while and said, "Don't hide it from my predecessors, I have been stepping into the fourth-order Mahayana for a while, and I am already familiar with advanced martial arts such as sword qi out of the body, but no matter how diligently I cultivate, it is difficult to step into the fifth order of the domain realm, I seem to have seen the door of the fifth order, but I don't know how to open it, and I have never been able to find the key." ”

The old dean nodded, and said: "Although it is only when you enter the upper realm level can you officially step into the martial realm, it is not bad for you to be able to do this, Qinghe, this girl only reached the fourth order intermediate level some time ago, but what I can't figure out is ......" The old dean hesitated for a while, his eyes suddenly became a little sharp, and said: "The first time I saw you, you were only less than the second order of the domain realm, even if you are an immortal genius, it is impossible for you to have such an amazing improvement, you ......"

The old dean didn't continue, but just looked at Luo Fan with sharp eyes, and this sharp look made Luo Fan feel a heavy pressure that he couldn't breathe.

Luo Fan was terrified, and what happened in hell couldn't help but surface, although no one asked him to keep it a secret, but it seemed that a gut kept reminding him that he couldn't let others know.

"Actually, you don't need to say it, I'm just asking casually. ”

The old dean's words made Luo Fan breathe a sigh of relief, and Luo Fan found that at this time, the two had already walked to a small forest, without the previous lively atmosphere, it seemed a little lonely, and only the occasional insect chirping could be vaguely heard.

"Seniors, juniors really have unavoidable hardships, please forgive me. ”

"Hehe, I'm a half-buried person at my age, and I won't do anything to hurt you, so you don't have to be too nervous. ”

Luo Fan smiled bitterly in his heart, maybe the old man didn't deliberately release that terrifying pressure, but even if the coercion of a peerless powerhouse was inadvertently released, it would make people with low cultivation feel breathless, which the old dean may not know.

The old dean stopped at this time and said, "What do you think of that book?"

Luo Fan knew that the old dean was talking about an anonymous ancient book, and said: "A well-deserved strange book, but some of it is really a ...... for the Heavenly Dao."

"Is there a way of heaven?" the old dean cut off Luo Fan's words, snorted slightly, and continued: "Then what do you think is the way of heaven?"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Fan was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer. But the old dean didn't care, he shook his head and said, "Luo Fan, let me ask you, what do you think is the ultimate goal of cultivators, no matter what kind of exercises and occult techniques they cultivate?"

Luo Fan pondered for a while, the ultimate purpose of cultivation is to break through the cultivation extreme, enter the fairyland, and finally feather to ascend to the immortal, and ride the wind?

Luo Fan shook his head secretly, and said tentatively: "Is it for cultivating immortals?"

The old dean shook his head and said, "It's to kill people." ”

Is it to kill someone?

Is it to kill someone!?

It's for killing!

This sentence echoed clearly in my ears.

"The good thing that cultivators say is that they are just trying to kill people, and the exercises they practice are all just means to kill people, even if they are righteous or crooked, after all, they are just to kill people, but the means used are different. ”

"Although this ancient book is an evil way, it is also a cultivation method after all, if you use it in the right way, it is the right way, if you use it in the evil way, it is the evil way, if you don't use it, it is nothing. ”

The old dean looked at Luo Fan, who was a little distracted, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Young man, the path of cultivation is a difficult and tortuous road full of thorns, how many people have fallen on the road of pursuing some unknown realm, how many people dream of being able to see the true face of that road in the end, if you can stand up and walk through, one day you will see everything you want to know." ”

Luo Fan was stunned for a moment, could it be that even the hidden remnant soul in his body was seen through by the old dean? There were indeed many unsolvable puzzles on his body, although he looked indifferent on the surface, but in fact, in his heart, how could he not care at all.

The first brigade of hell, the remnant dream of the third life, is it a dream of Nan Ke in the end, or is it some kind of traction clue?

"This is the next volume of the ancient book, I think you should also know some of the strange books that will be shocking to the world in the next volume, you can do it yourself. ”

Mu Ran took the second volume of the ancient book in the old dean's hand, and Luo Fan looked at the old dean a little blankly.

"Come with me. ”

I followed the old dean all the way, but I came to a deserted ancient mansion, where there were no traces of overgrown weeds, as if it had been forgotten, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

When I came to the vicinity of the ancient house, I saw that the abandoned ancient house was dilapidated, and it was a mess everywhere, and a corner of the roof had collapsed to reveal a large hole, and the bottom of the roof was also covered with dust and cobwebs.

Luo Fan glanced at it a few times, and vaguely saw that this was most likely a deserted Yizhuang, and two people suddenly stepped into the messy house, and a layer of light dust was lifted, but the old dean didn't care. Luo Fan frowned slightly and looked around, only to see that the only place in the hut was still intact, was the offering platform in the center of the hut, although it was covered with a thick layer of dust, but it could still see a spiritual tablet, but it was covered by dust but it was impossible to see the handwriting on it.

The old dean stepped forward, but there was a sad expression on his face, he reached out and picked up the spiritual seat, regardless of the dust on the spiritual seat, so he directly wiped it carefully with his sleeve.

Luo Fan could feel the old dean's mood at the moment, there was some unspeakable sadness, he carefully wiped the spiritual position, and when he put it back from the new one, the spiritual position had been completely new, but what made Luo Fan feel strange was that this was actually a spiritual position without a name.

The old dean picked up a stick of incense from the altar, lit it and bowed slightly to the spiritual position with a solemn expression, and finally after doing everything, the sad look in his eyes was swept away, but he walked out of the ancient mansion with Luo Fan.

Luo Fan couldn't help but be a little curious about the identity and identity of the owner of the spiritual position, the identity of the person who could make the old dean treat this cautiously must be quite incomprehensible and immeasurable, and how could he let the spiritual position be silent in this inconspicuous and long-abandoned ancient mansion.

The old dean didn't say it, and Luo Fan didn't want to ask.

"Luo Fan, you remember, even if you don't want to think about some things, you don't want to do them, but what should come is inevitable after all. The old dean walked in front, and when he walked to a big tree, he turned back to Luo Fan and said, "After all, a person's cultivation path is to rely on oneself to explore step by step, step by step to move forward. Even if there is an opportunity, you can't blindly take shortcuts, and only by relying on your own strength to exchange for the essence of martial arts can you reach that realm. ”

The old dean put his fingers together, and a trace of brilliance appeared between his fingers, and the space seemed to be slightly distorted, only to see him gently scratch the tree.

When the wind came, the tree tilted slightly, and gradually, it fell down with a bang.

A neat and tidy cut of the big tree appeared in front of Luo Fan's eyes, and the old dean's understatement just now turned out to be the big tree that was surrounded by the two at this moment, Luo Fan looked at it blankly, what kind of realm is this?

This hand Luo Fan saw in his eyes, completely introverted true qi, completely concentrated in one place, with the smallest source power to gather extreme, indestructible power, like condensing a thick wooden stick into a sharp needle, the ultimate mastery and control of power can do this.

This scene Luo Fan thought it was a shocking hand, but the old dean shook his head and sighed: "It's still not good." ”

Luo Fan looked at the old dean puzzled, isn't this kind of realm as good as his wishes?

The old dean's face became flat, and he said: "The cultivation of the world is only five points, self-cultivation, qi cultivation, law cultivation, heart cultivation, and realm cultivation. Either one is indispensable, and perhaps one or two of them alone can achieve good results, but after all, they will not be able to reach that state. And martial arts respect fast, only strong and unbreakable, you should understand these, but when you reach a certain realm, this speed and strength are not just as simple as you think, and you will naturally understand when you reach that realm in the future. The path of cultivation sometimes needs to follow the rules, and sometimes it needs some necessary opportunities, the so-called not breaking and not standing, breaking and then standing, what is needed is to first comprehend and then penetrate, and to achieve first standing and then breaking, and then breaking and then standing. Do you understand what I'm talking about?"

"The younger generation has been taught. ”

Luo Fan nodded as if he didn't understand, and the realm that the old dean said vaguely had a bit of an outline.

"I think it's time for me to take that step. The old dean's expression was a little silent, and he was a little admiring, maybe the end of entering that realm was likely to be gone.

Chapter 54: That Realm

Holding the second volume of the ancient book in his hand, Luo Fan looked at the old dean silently, this seems to be an ancient and weak old man, but now he is the only surviving peerless master, maybe the realm in his mouth is the extremely ethereal realm of immortals, and what is ushered in by the peeping into the heavens is the terrifying heavenly punishment that makes people frightened.

A glimpse of the heavens, or stepping into the fairyland, or the soul is scattered, or it is possible to get lucky and become a half-wasted person, but for a cultivator, especially a peerless master, life is better than death.

Luo Fan naturally hoped that the old man could enter the fairyland, but he was more worried about the old man and was afraid that he would fail. You must know that there have been countless peerless masters on the mainland who have cultivated to the extreme, but in the end, they have not been able to pass that level, and since then they have been silent.

Luo Fan knew that the old man had made up his mind, maybe at this age, he could face life and death calmly, even if he didn't impact the extreme realm, with the old man's age, there were not many years to live, rather than waiting for death alone, it was better to give it a go, once the game was successful, in exchange for endless years, as well as unimaginable magical powers.

"I've been on the verge of this step for too long, and it's time to make a decision. ”

At this time, the old dean had completely lost that decaying image, and at this moment, Luo Fan vaguely saw a majestic figure, which was a kind of restrained but difficult to hide the edge of an extreme master.

At this moment, the old man was like a sharp sword that had been sealed for a long time, and finally regained its former glory and sharpness.

"Southern Xinjiang Juze is the place I have always wanted to go, more than ten years ago I swept across the Western Continent, in order to find an opponent I went deep into the temple, and killed them directly without leaving a piece of armor, until the ......" The old dean shook his head with a wry smile, but he didn't continue, and said: "I returned to the Eastern Continent from the temple, and along the way, I went through life and death battles with countless rare masters, and finally left calmly. Maybe they have some powerful people who don't bother to fight with me, and although I am also an old man, I was also extremely conceited at the time, until I met someone later. ”

Under Luo Fan's careful listening, the old dean smiled bitterly and said, "One person, one move, will defeat me." ”

Luo Fan was stunned, a move? just a move?

Defeat the invincible old dean with just one move?

Luo Fan really couldn't imagine what kind of existence that person was, the old dean was already a rare extreme master in the human world, and he was only one step away from that fairyland, could it be that there was really an unborn immortal master in this world?

"It wasn't until that time that I realized how ridiculous I was, I was like an ant in the eyes of some people, and it wasn't until that time that I completely understood how many unimaginable peerless people there were in the world. That time I was deeply frustrated, and my heart was even more devastated. That senior didn't bother to fight with me at all, but he just happened to pass by and couldn't look past me before he taught me a lesson, I knew very well that he could easily kill me, but he didn't do that, just said: Young people, don't be too presumptuous, this world is not as simple as you think...... I didn't listen to anything in my mindset at the time, I only had one thought at the time, I was just a joke. ”

Later, I felt inferior, and kept it that way for a long time, until one day I regained my strength, and I only thought about making another breakthrough to challenge that master again, and I entered the mysterious 100,000 mountains of southern Xinjiang to seek a breakthrough in that poor mountain and bad water. But I almost lost my life this time, even in a place like southern Xinjiang, where there are still unfathomable people, and there is only an ancient Wu tribe in this southern Xinjiang, and I met them by chance. You also know my situation at that time, I was angry, along the way I slain many powerful beasts, but I did not expect to encounter the human race, and now I also want to see the unpredictable ancient witchcraft. ”

Speaking of this, the old dean smiled bitterly again, and continued: "As a result, you also know that I have lost again, and I am defeated again, and I am willing to lose. At that time, the black-robed wizard was only one of them, and I was defeated before I even saw their witch king. This time I was even more disappointed, almost despairing, and no longer obsessed with everything. Later, a voice came to my heart, that voice was separated from me by thousands of mountains and rivers, it was their witch king using ancient magic, Qianli Chuansheng spoke to me, he said that he had known the origin of the matter through his people, he praised me, and was willing to let me stay and practice the mind......"

Hearing this, Luo Fan finally understood why the old dean would be incognito and not ask about the world, a person with strong self-esteem was hit one after another, and that feeling was absolutely unforgettable.

"I've been here for three years, and the language of the Witch Clan was also learned from that time, and in order to repay the Witch King for the Moonlight Divine Jade I left behind and took from the temple, their Witch King needs such a holy artifact. Now that more than ten years have passed, I think I should go back to visit the Witch King, but I don't know if their tribe is still there after so long. ”

Luo Fan's heart moved when he heard this, the Moonlight Divine Jade actually had such an experience, but in the end it fell into the hands of the Wu tribe, and he had to go after the Fighting Soul Conference, if he was accompanied by such a peerless master, it would naturally be much easier.

Luo Fan also made it clear what he meant at the moment, but it was not as expected, and the old dean politely refused Luo Fan to go with him.

"I have already planned to die when I go to southern Xinjiang this time, you young people have flesh and blood, and they also need a period of experience, so I don't plan to accompany you. You take this domino with you, and if you meet someone from the Wu Clan, you will show it. You have cultivated this nameless ancient book, and you can be regarded as half a disciple of that witch god, and they will not embarrass you. ”

Taking the domino that the old man took out of his arms, Luo Fan took a look, only to see that the domino was carved from white bones, but it was the size of two fingers, the style was simple, and there were some ancient runes carved on it, which should be some ancient script of the Wu clan.

"Although southern Xinjiang is a barren land of poor mountains and bad waters, but there are sixty-three alien races, although there are some rumors, but you must not believe it, this ancient and mysterious witch clan is one of them, if you go in the future, you must also pay attention everywhere, do not violate their taboos. ”

Just kidding, even you are no match for them, why should I do it with them?" Luo Fan thought so, still nodding on the surface.

Luo Fan asked, "When do the seniors plan to leave?"

"I was going to go again after the Fighting Soul Conference, I really wanted to see how good the young generation is today, but then I thought about it, I also have a bottom in my heart when I see you, behave well, young man. ”

The old dean patted Luo Fan's shoulder and smiled slightly, and as the laughter disappeared, the old man's figure gradually disappeared into the forest.

After the old man left, Luo Fan lingered for a while before turning to leave.

The old man's various opinions on the cultivation method, as well as all kinds of golden and jade good words on the realm of life extension, all benefited Luo Fan a lot, although the old dean did not directly help him, but this insight into the way of cultivation was priceless. The old man was right, true cultivation can only be truly comprehended by relying on one's own strength.

One day, crossing the realm and stepping into the holy realm is a fairyland, with the power of his own comprehension, facing the terrifying heavenly punishment, it will eventually be the purest power, so that he can face the purest power of the heavenly dao.

Luo Fan faintly felt that he was only one step away from the fifth order of the domain realm, and it was only now that he suddenly woke up, it turned out that cultivation was not only about cultivating the body, vitality, and exercises, but also cultivating the mind had an indispensable role in the improvement of cultivation. As for the cultivation realm that the old man said, it seems that he is not qualified to explore it with his own strength at this moment.

Even so, Luo Fan felt that the old dean had really brought him a lot of beneficial knowledge.

Back in town, Luo Fan met Su Qinghe, and when she asked where the old dean was, Luo Fan answered truthfully.

"Senior Sister Su, you don't have to be sad, this is a decision that the dean made after thinking about it for a long time. He did so much not only for himself, but also to give an explanation to our juniors. ”

Su Qinghe didn't expect the old dean to leave suddenly and pursue an unknown realm, but under Luo Fan's comfort, he could understand the old dean's mood at that time.

The beautiful woman quickly returned to normal, she looked at Luo Fan, and said, "Uncle Dean is right, we must win glory for the academy in this Soul Fighting Conference." ”

Luo Fan also smiled and nodded in agreement, and said yes again and again.

It's just that the woman seemed to realize something, her face changed, she looked at Luo Fan with disdain, and said, "It's nothing to do with you, you will be responsible for cheering for us brothers and sisters when the time comes." ”

Luo Fan's smile froze, and his face suddenly collapsed: "Senior Sister Su, have you forgotten ...... last time?"

"Don't mention those things, if you dare to mention those things again, I'll ...... I'll just ......"

Su Qinghe's face flushed in an instant, and he snorted lightly, but in the end, there was no next chapter.

"What?" Luo Fan asked with a smile, a pair of eyes were looking at this beautiful woman carefully, this look was not tight, as if she saw some clues, and muttered: "It seems to be big again......"

"Ah...... Luo Fan I'm going to kill you!"

This crisp angry shout immediately attracted the attention of most of the people on the street, Su Qinghe suddenly regretted, only to see that the originally bustling and noisy street suddenly became audible, under the gaze of many pedestrians, Su Qinghe's face was like a drop of blood, and he couldn't wait to jump into a hole with a sword.

On the other hand, Luo Fan on the side looked around at the surrounding scenery, as if he didn't care about the woman behind him, and said: "The moon is so round today......"

In an inn, two people walked in.

"It's all your fault, I made such a big ugly appearance!"

The first to come was a beautiful woman, who rebuked the man behind her from time to time with a resentful face, while the latter sighed silently with an innocent face.

"Senior Sister Su, you're not too young, can't you be more mature. After speaking, he muttered a very low voice, but the voice was too small for anyone to hear clearly.

It's just that this muttering almost attracted another angry rebuke from the woman, but with the lesson of the last time, Su Qinghe still endured it and didn't have a seizure.

Seeing Su Qinghe's vicious and desperate eyes, Luo Fan didn't dare to provoke her anymore, if there was a real fight, it would really make people see a joke.

The Fighting Soul Conference is imminent, but his own people are fighting with his own people, which is really a laughing stock.

The Luoyang Lantern Festival is about to officially kick off one day, and now Luoyang's business has attracted tourists to relax, and it has also made a lot of money, and this small inn is almost full.

The two went to the second floor and saw an acquaintance in a corner.

Both of them are young people, Luo Fan also knows each other, they are both disciples of the academy, and they are the two senior brothers of the inner courtyard, and they are also the main force of this Fighting Soul Conference, and their cultivation should not be underestimated.

"Hey, Senior Sister Su, Senior Brother Luo is also here. When one of the young men saw the two, he also got up to greet them, but when he saw that the two of them were empty, he was also a little puzzled at the moment, and asked, "Why don't you see the dean?"

Su Qinghe also said briefly, and the two of them were not too surprised after listening to it, but just said something that they hoped the old dean would get his wish.

"Senior Brother Yang, you won't notify me when you come. ”

Luo Fan said unceremoniously and found a seat to sit down, this small square table can only sit four people, at this moment there are already two senior brothers opposite Luo Fan, Su Qinghe had to reluctantly sit next to Luo Fan.

Senior Brother Yang smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to go to you, and we would like to discuss the specific countermeasures of the Fighting Soul Conference, but it happened that Senior Sister Su met you when she accompanied the old dean out, and she also told us about it when she came back, and then we waited here for a while." No, Senior Sister Su personally brought you here. ”

Luo Fan smiled: "I see, the two senior brothers must have waited a lot of time, I think since everyone is here, I'll order some wine and food, let's talk while eating." ”
