When night falls, the bright moon hangs above the sky, and the moonlight falls down, which is unusually cold.

In the secluded hut, Han Chen's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake!"

The figure flickered, and Guiguzi appeared in the house, looking at Han Chendao.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to condense the sword gall, but I overestimated myself a little!" Han Chen slowly got up, exhaled a mouthful of turbid gas with a strong smell of blood, raised his hand and rubbed his swollen and aching forehead, and said with a wry smile.

To advance to the Sword King Realm, the Sword Spirit Realm needs to compress the true element in the body to the extreme, so as to complete the transformation from liquid to solid state and condense the sword gall.

Not to mention compressing the true element, it is necessary to compress the cyclone, although the cyclone is invisible, it is like flesh and blood in the body, and the pain like scraping bones and cramps is naturally very unbearable.

What's more, this process is not a moment and a half, but several hours, and the later it is, the more intense the pain becomes, even if you have perseverance far beyond ordinary people, you may not be able to survive.

"It's a good thing to be able to see yourself clearly, but you don't need to be presumptuous!" Guiguzi shook his head and smiled: "This Purple Gold Continent is vast and boundless, and there are countless martial artists, as vast as a sea of smoke, and there are even more people with outstanding talents, but those who can really cross this hurdle and achieve the realm of the Sword King are one in a hundred." ”

"You can survive it, not only for your excellence, but also for your creation!"

Although this breakthrough was not as smooth as Han Chen's previous promotion, it was not the other. In the end, he survived, and compared to others, he was outstanding and successful.

"Okay, you just broke through, and the true yuan in your body is still a little vain, so you have to condense it well, don't damage the foundation. Moreover, the sword gall is empty, and it is also necessary to condense the power of the sword element earlier and fill it up. As for the injuries in the body. I also have to recover earlier" Guiguzi explained some matters that Han Chen needed to pay attention to, and told Han Chen a few words, so he didn't ramble anymore, and his figure flickered. Turning into a little light. returned to Han Chen's sea of knowledge.

Then Han Chen did not hesitate. He took out a three-thousand-year-old Red Desolate Fruit from the empty ring and swallowed it, and began to refine the energy and restore the injuries in his body.

Injuries sustained during the previous breakthrough. Most of them are injuries on the body, which are internal injuries, and the Red Wild Fruit has the effect of refining the body, so it can naturally also treat the injury.

The abundant energy burst out from the lower abdomen, and before it could spread, a stream of suction exploded, pulling it into the meridians, carrying Zhou Tian, and refining it.

In the blink of an eye, the strong energy in the Red Desolate Fruit was completely refined and absorbed by Han Chen, not only the injuries in the body were completely recovered, but the flesh and bones were also tempered stronger, but it did not break through and improve, and it was still the peak realm of the Nine-Star Sword Spirit.

But Han Chen didn't care about this. There are still four or five hundred mortal grade red desolate fruits in his empty ring, and there are even those nine thousand years of spiritual grade red desolate fruits, and the improvement of physical strength is not a matter at all, it couldn't be simpler.

What's more, the opportunity to enter the Heart Refining Valley, he only used it once, and there was no need to rush it at all.

When the next two opportunities are exhausted, his state of mind cultivation will definitely take a leap, and at that time, it will be easier to improve it in one fell swoop.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhenyuan cultivation had already reached the peak, he wouldn't have chosen to break through, otherwise it would be a misfortune that when he was in the Heart Refining Valley, he would suddenly break through on his own, and it would be a lot of fun.

After recovering from his injuries, Han Chen dispersed the cultivation seal, turning the impurities in his body after refining the energy of the Red Desolate Fruit into a mouthful of turbid qi and spewing out.

got up and moved his muscles and bones slightly, washed slightly, washed away the dirt discharged from his body due to the breakthrough, and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, changed into clean clothes again, and returned to the bed, his eyes closed, his mind converged, and sank into his body.

After the breakthrough, he hadn't had time to check the situation in the dantian, and he had never seen the sword gall that was called the foundation of the strength of the Sword King's powerhouse.

The mind sank into the dantian, and when he boarded the time, a qiē in the dantian was clearly reflected in Han Chen's heart.

"The cyclone has expanded a lot compared to before the breakthrough, almost doubled, which means that the amount of true elements has also nearly doubled. Looking at the slowly rotating ice-blue cyclone, Han Chen secretly said in his heart: "But this is not the limit, in the future, as my cultivation realm improves, there should be another increase!"

Although the Sword King Realm and the Sword Spirit Realm are only a realm gap, in terms of strength, they are like a heavenly moat, one underground and one heavenly, and there is really no comparison.

And a breakthrough, stepping over, the improvement of the cultivation realm, the increase in strength, will also be extremely amazing.

After feeling it for a moment, Han Chen melted his mind into the cyclone.

"Good refinement" Feeling the thick and pulpy true yuan in the cyclone, Han Chen exclaimed in his heart.

Before the breakthrough, because Han Chen possessed the Heavenly Venerable Realm Jade, the True Yuan in his body, in terms of refinement purity, was at least three times more than that of a martial artist of the same realm.

At this time, the true element in the cyclone was nearly twice as pure as before he broke through, and this was when he had just broken through and had not had time to condense the true element.

After a slight exclamation, Han Chen's mind turned again and probed towards the center of the cyclone.

"This is the sword gall?" Looking at the center of the cyclone, which was only the size of a grain of rice, with an ice blue body and thirty-five ice spikes on the surface, Han Chen was stunned in his heart.

He didn't expect that this sword gut would look like this, like a sea urchin.

"The sword gall is condensed by the sword spirit's true element, shaped like a sea urchin, and there are a total of thirty-six true yuan thorns on the surface, and one true yuan thorn represents a small realm of the martial artist. Every time a small realm is raised, the sword gall becomes more condensed, and the True Yuan Thorn will also be included in the sword gall. ”

"If you reach the peak of the Nine-Star Sword King, the thirty-six True Yuan Thorns will be eliminated, and you can become a sword embryo, and at this point, you will be able to surpass the Sword King Realm and step into the half-step Sword Emperor Realm!"

Thinking of this, Han Chen exhaled lightly, now he had only just broken through to the Sword King Realm, these were still too far away from him, and the sword gall had also seen it, and he was ready to withdraw his mind immediately. Seize the time to cultivate well and consolidate the lower realm.

"Wait" Suddenly, Han Chen was stunned for a moment, and his mind fell on the sword gall again, "I now have thirty-five True Yuan Thorns on my sword gall, that is to say, I broke through this time, not only successfully stepped into the Sword King realm, but also directly improved a small realm, reaching the mid-stage realm of the one-star Sword King!"

This was completely unexpected. I was stunned for a long time. He came to his senses.

"Although when breaking through the great realm, few people can continue to improve while breaking through again, but it is not nothing. ”

"This trip to the Heart Refining Valley. My state of mind cultivation has been elevated to the peak of the one-star Sword King. And before the breakthrough. Because of my suppression. Whether it is the amount of true element or the purity of refinement, it is far superior to others!"

"Maybe that's because of that. When I break through the bottleneck, my cultivation will go further. This can just explain why my true essence is so vain!"

Thinking of this, Han Chen's face suddenly showed a relaxed look.

This time, not only did he break through the bottleneck and enter the Sword King realm, but he also improved to a small realm, which is a thing to be happy about no matter what.

Withdrawing his mind from his body and opening his eyes, Han Chen raised his hand and flipped it over, took out a pot of dry aged wine from the empty ring, and poured a few large sips before stopping.

After a while, Han Chen's mood calmed down, he raised his head and took a few more sips, and put the wine jug into the empty ring.

Then he took out two high-grade spirit cores from the empty ring and held them in his hands, as for the previous twelve high-grade spirit cores, as early as when they broke through, the spiritual energy in them was absorbed by Han Chen and turned into waste stones.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the Heavenly Venerable Realm Jade, closed his eyes, and sank into cultivation.

The next morning, Han Chen woke up from his cultivation, washed up, and then opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

Choke!

With the wolf's tooth sword in his hand, he drew the sword out of its sheath, and Han Chen began to practice the sword.

Now that Zhenyuan has cultivated to advance to the Sword King realm, Han Chen needs to do his best to fully familiarize himself with this surging power and control it.

However, this is not something that can be succeeded in a while, half an hour later, Han Chen stopped, put away the long sword, then opened the courtyard door and walked out.

It's been five days since I first entered the Heart Refining Valley, oh no, it's already six days even if you count today.

Now that Han Chen's mental injury has completely recovered, and his cultivation realm has also broken through to the advanced level, he doesn't want to delay any longer, and is ready to go to Yunhong and start entering the Heart Refining Valley for the second time.

"Huh?"

But he had not taken a few steps out of the courtyard when a throbbing came over his heart.

His footsteps stopped, and with a flick of his fingers, the communication sword appeared in his hand, and Han Chen sank his mind into it.

"We are about to leave for the sect, goodbye today, I don't know when we will see you again, I hope to meet again!" A voice sounded in Han Chen's heart.

But it's the flowers dancing lightly.

Han Chen patted his head, during this time, he had been busy recovering from the injuries on his mind, and he had no time to care about other things, but he forgot about them.

"Where are you, I'll come over right away!" Han Chen and Hua Qingwu's friendship is not shallow, and now that they are about to separate, he should see each other, as for the matter of entering the Heart Refining Valley again, he has put it aside for the time being, after all, he has been waiting for five or six days, and he doesn't care about today's day.

"Biyu Tower!"

As soon as his voice fell, Hua Qingwu immediately responded.

Then Han Chen put away the communication sword, changed direction, walked towards the gate of the village, and walked away

The meeting with Hua Qingwu and the others was somewhat unexpected by Han Chen, in addition to Hua Qingwu and Ziyun, Feng Ming and Xiao Bieli were all there, and even Ji Xuanfeng, Liu Wusheng and Feng Dao were also there.

And what was even more unexpected was that this time it turned out to be a special banquet by Ji Xuanfeng, Liu Wusheng and Feng Dao.

And the object of the banquet is naturally Han Chen.

This time in the Nine Sects Competition, Han Chen rushed into the top ten and resolved the crisis of the Hidden Blood Sect and the Jade Emperor Pavilion, for Ji Xuanfeng and Liu Wusheng, this kindness was like reconstruction, and they naturally did not dare to forget it.

Moreover, in the second round, in the assessment of the secret realm, Han Chen also took care of Feng Ming, Xiao Bieli and Hua Qingwu many times, so that several people were able to rush into the third round of assessment, which benefited several people a lot, and this kindness was also not small.

So this time, several people invited Han Chen out and specially set up a banquet to thank him.

Of course, such a great favor will naturally not be just a feast.

"Han Chen, you have to be careful during this time!" Ji Xuanfeng said suddenly.

"Huh?" Han Chen turned his head to look with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"During this time, a large number of disciples of the Netherworld Sect have gone out, and five of them have also left the sect and don't know where to go!" Ji Xuanfeng said with a solemn face.

"You mean, these people are coming at me?" Han Chen raised his eyebrows and said.

"Well, Ye Jiuyin's personality has always been known for his ruthlessness, and you killed his only son Ye Youming in the match that day. It was absolutely impossible for Ye Jiuyin to swallow this breath like this. Nine times out of ten, these people are coming for you!" Liu Wusheng nodded and said.

Hearing this, Han Chen's brows suddenly furrowed.

To be honest, Ye Jiuyin will take action against himself. He had been prepared for a long time. It's just that I heard Ji Xuanfeng's words at this time. He realized that he was thinking a little too simply.

Originally, in his mind, this Ye Jiuyin should have dealt with himself alone.

After all, for the terrifying strength of Ye Jiuyin's six-star Sword Sect realm, his own strength. It's really not enough to see, the difference is too great.

In his eyes, I'm afraid it's no different from an ant, and he can be crushed to death by raising his hand.

Moreover, this can be regarded as avenging Ye Youming with his own hands.

Reasonably, the possibility of this speculation is extremely high.

But now it seems that this Ye Jiuyin didn't plan to do so at all, he didn't give himself a chance at all, the five elders were the five Sword Sect powerhouses, plus Ye Jiuyin, that was the six Sword Sect powerhouses.

With such a lineup, it was too much to fight for his own little sword king, but it can also be seen from the side that Ye Jiuyin was extremely angry this time.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Ye Jiuyin wants to use this to intimidate others, so as not to interfere and cause extraneous branches. At this time, Feng Dao spoke.

Hearing this, several people's brows were furrowed like Han Chen.

What Feng Dao said is not impossible. Han Chen won the first place, and he became friends with a few gods, and now he is temporarily living in the village where the God Refining Sect stays, these are not secrets, and the entire Troubled Wind City knows about them.

No one is sure that when Ye Jiuyin makes a move, will the God Refining Sect intervene?

Therefore, Ye Jiuyin transferred five Sword Sect Realm elders from the sect, in addition to intimidating the Refining God Sect, he could also ensure that nothing went wrong, making it difficult for Han Chen to fly with his wings.

"Han Chen, when are you going to leave Troubled Wind City?" Ji Xuanfeng looked at Han Chen and said.

Hearing Ji Xuanfeng's words, everyone else also turned their eyes over.

Han Chen didn't understand what Ji Xuanfeng meant, he shook his head and said, "I still have to be in Troubled Wind City for some time, and I have no intention of leaving for the time being!"

Of the three opportunities to enter the Heart Refining Valley, he only used it once, and there were two more opportunities, and he would not give up these two opportunities no matter what.

Judging from the time it took this time, it would take him at least nearly half a month to exhaust the two opportunities. After that, he has to improve his strength, and it will take some time.

In this way, it is conservatively estimated that Han Chen will have to stay in Troubled Wind City for at least twenty days before leaving for it.

"I understand what you mean, and Han Chen has also received it, but if Ye Jiuyin puts on such a big battle this time, it is really for me, and it will not help you to make a move!" Looking up at the frowning crowd, Han Chen shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Ji Xuanfeng's brows furrowed even tighter. Although Han Chen's words were not very good, they were true.

This time when they came to Troubled Wind City, only the Hidden Blood Sect and the Jade Emperor Pavilion stayed for two Sword Sect Realm Elders, a total of four.

In terms of numbers, it is already far inferior to the Netherworld Sect. Moreover, in terms of strength, these four elders are only three or four star sword sects, and one Ye Jiuyin is enough to completely block the four of them, and it is impossible to be an opponent at all.

If you do, you will only lose your life.

"I had a great time at this banquet. Han Chen got up, drank the clear water and cold mountain in the cup, then poured another cup, looked at Feng Ming and Xiao Beili, and said with a smile: "Farewell today, I don't know when I will see you again." If Han Chen can survive this catastrophe, he will have a good time with you in the future!"

The words fell, he raised his head and drank it all, then poured another full cup, and turned to Ji Xuanfeng, Liu Wusheng and Feng Dao.

"Thank you for the kindness of the three seniors, but this matter is a grudge between me and Ye Jiuyin, I hope the three seniors will not interfere this time!"

With that, Han Chen raised his head and drank the third cup, and then did not linger any longer.

"Farewell!"

Turn away.

"Alas, whether it is qualifications, talents, or temperament, this son is the best choice, but this time" Seeing Han Chen's back disappear at the top of the stairs, Ji Xuanfeng shook his head and sighed.

"Sect Master, don't we really care?" Feng Ming said with an anxious expression: "With Ye Jiuyin's strength, Han Chen has no hope of surviving at all, not to mention, in addition to Ye Jiuyin, there are also five elders of the Netherworld Sect!"

Xiao Bieli and Hua Qingwu were also anxious.

Ziyun on the side frowned even more, but she had no choice now, although Feng Dao comprehended the sword intent and was strong, but he was only the Sword Emperor, facing Ye Jiuyin in the Sword Sect Realm, no matter how strong the sword intent was, it would not help, and he couldn't even take a move. And the others before, as Han Chen said before, compared to Ye Jiuyin's lineup this time, it can't be compared at all.

"Han Chen has a great favor to my sect, so naturally he can't ignore it!" Ji Xuanfeng frowned and said, "But with our strength, we really can't compete with Ye Jiuyin!"

"We can go to the Nine Great Sects, no matter what, this time Han Chen is the number one in the Nine Sects Competition, even if he is not a person from the Chaotic Wind Domain, the Nine Great Sects should not sit idly by!" Liu Wusheng said.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Without further ado, we'll go and prepare now!" Ji Xuanfeng said.

Then everyone got up to settle the bill and quickly left.

As for leaving, it was just an excuse for Hua Qingwu to invite Han Chen out before, after all, with Han Chen's current situation, how could everyone leave with peace of mind.

And Han Chen didn't know anything about this.

After leaving Biyu Tower, he went back to Zhuang Yuan directly, and then under the report of the disciples of the God Refining Sect, he saw Yun Hong.

"Senior, I want to use the second chance to enter the Heart Refining Valley!" (To be continued......)
