The Demon Venerable suddenly became furious, "This is your life, not the life of the deity, in this case, how many times will the deity repeat it? And the deity had three chapters of the Dharma with you at the beginning, have you forgotten? The deity said that within a year, you are only allowed to fall into five life and death situations, and the deity will only come forward to help you solve the difficulties five times, otherwise, the deity will immediately leave your divine consciousness and continue to sleep!"

Ning Hongyuan heard such powerful words from the Demon Venerable, his throat was bitter and choked with saliva, and he was a little frightened in his heart,

Anxiety haunted him repeatedly, and how could he dare to guarantee that he would obey this rule in the future struggle.

"If the Demon Venerable really leaves him, is there any hope for his sword god path?"

The bitter mood rippled in Ning Hongyuan's heart, and gradually it was like a huge wave.

But he didn't dare to say it, because he had to admit in his heart that he used the Demon Venerable as a protective umbrella for his life from time to time, and even didn't want to return to his body several times to experience such a cruel reality.

Ning Hongyuan never doubted the authenticity of Demon Venerable's words, after all, Demon Venerable was a Venerable who had lived for thousands of years, and he could accept himself as a disciple, it could not be without a price.

A venerable like the Demon Venerable, it is absolutely impossible for a bodyguard and a housekeeper, if Ning Hongyuan wants to get his true inheritance, he must go through the strict test of the Demon Venerable.

The kind of physical fitness that used thousands of poisons to tear Ning Hongyuan's body and make him invincible to all poisons was not something that ordinary young people could endure.

If Ning Hongyuan had five life and death situations a year, that is to say, he put himself in a desperate situation five times a year because of various mistakes, and let himself step into the door of death with one foot five times, then the Demon Venerable would definitely leave by himself, there is no doubt about it.

Ning Hongyuan must always remember this, he only has five chances a year to turn the corner, this point is put at the moment, that is, he can't be arrogant enough to step into the Ten Thousand Swords Sect before he has eliminated the Shadowless Old Man, otherwise he will face too many dangers.

Seeing Ning Hongyuan's sad expression, the Demon Venerable did not flinch at all on such a matter of principle, "This year, you kid has borrowed my power three times, and there are two more times, these three months, you think about it yourself, in the face of the next challenge, of course the deity can come forward to help you destroy the shadowless old man! But after you are destroyed, what kind of growth will it have for you?" Your enemies must be conquered by your own wisdom and strength, and those who rely on others will always be cowards.

Hearing this, Ning Hongyuan came back to his senses, and kept repeating the words from the mouth of the Demon Venerable, "Your enemies must be conquered by your own wisdom and strength!"

This sentence was like a sharp sword that pierced through heaven and earth, and it was fiercely inserted into his mind.

"Your own enemy must be conquered by yourself! The Shadowless Old Man is my Ning Hongyuan's enemy, if I encounter a strong enemy, I will awaken the Demon Venerable? Then what else can I Ning Hongyuan do by myself?"

"Even if the Shadowless Old Man is indeed a hero, what if I am a young man who has not dried up? Everyone is flawed, as long as I grasp the flaws of the Shadowless Old Man, I will definitely be able to help my father win this battle!"

After thinking about it repeatedly, Ning Hongyuan already had the courage to fight wits and courage with the shadowless old man in his heart.

He was indeed very worried in his heart before, worried that his insight and wisdom must not be the opponent of the Shadowless Old Man.

Ning Hongyuan is a person who attaches great importance to his opponent, even if he encounters an arrogant person like the Poison Seven Sword before, he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

And now, in the face of the old man who has endured for decades, this troubled man with rich life experience and struggle experience, and his own martial arts strength is not bad, Ning Hongyuan does feel a little helpless.

Therefore, in the face of the coming bloody storm, he seems to be so unconfident, and he is extremely worried that his father will eventually lose in this battle! Once his father fails, his whole life will be turned upside down.

If his father fails, he will definitely embark on a road of revenge, revenge, which is not what Ning Hongyuan wants to see.

However, the words of the Demon Venerable just now completely made him throw away these previous worries, and in the face of the shadowless old man, he no longer had the slightest fear in his heart.

"I don't have a lot to do, not to mention that I'm not fighting alone, I still have my father, my eldest brother, my Yu'er, my parents and Steward, and thousands of "Shadows", "Flying Shadows", "Shadows", etc., these brothers who are as loyal to my father as I am, why should I belittle myself? As the saying goes, there are three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, and the shadowless old man, the only powerful people I know are him and the Qinglong Messenger, and the information that came back a few days ago, he killed a group of powerful figures, and now the five major families of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect control all kinds of martial arts resources, only two clans are left, and the other three clans are brutally killed by the shadowless old man, which shows that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is actually extremely unstable, and even much more unstable than our Divine Sword Sect! Tomorrow is the Martial Arts Conference, presumably the Shadowless Old Man will definitely send someone to disturb the situation, this war will start tomorrow, the duel between our Ning family and the Shadowless Old Man will start with this Martial Arts Conference!"

Ning Hongyuan thought about it, and suddenly remembered one thing, that is, what kind of martial realm strength should he show to the outside world at the martial arts conference tomorrow?

Before he could remember to ask about it, the Demon Venerable fell asleep.

Ning Hongyuan decided to make this decision himself.

"If I completely show the strength of my swordsman realm in front of everyone, then it will inevitably cause an uproar in the heavenly domain, I, Ning Hongyuan, am only twenty-five years old now, and when the emperor broke through the swordsman realm, he was only twenty-seven years old! ”

Thinking like this, Ning Hongyuan already had a plan in his heart, "It seems that tomorrow I can't fully display my true strength at the Martial Arts Conference, otherwise it will bring trouble to my father and the Divine Sword Sect, and even alarm the old monsters of the hostile forces, this can't be done!"

Ning Hongyuan thought about it like this, and involuntarily picked up the "Qinghong Sword" leaning on the edge of the window railing, and looked down at this Qinghong Sword silently, having already made up his mind in his heart.

The morning star on the horizon has risen, the moon has returned to the vastness, and the heaven and earth have ushered in a new day.

Today's Divine Sword Sect can be described as very lively, leading to the central street of the "Divine Sword Altar" has long been crowded with people, most of them are martial artists, including warrior monks, warriors, piano masters, ghost masters, swordsmen, etc., three sects and nine streams, all gathered here.

In addition, there are also some wealthy merchants and some literati scholars, these rich merchants and literati scholars are of noble birth and their family power is extremely large, so even if they are not proficient in the power of the martial realm, they have no fear when facing these martial arts cultivators.

The martial arts civilization has developed to a certain stage, strength is not the only criterion for distinguishing characters, and culture is also developing towards diversification, and under the diversified cultural pattern, many abilities are also particularly important, such as leadership ability, such as excellent eloquence, as well as unusual communication skills, etc.

Coupled with the fact that people's pursuit of art has gradually deepened with the development of multiculturalism, music, painting, sculpture, cooking, calligraphy, dance, theater, etc., and the top of these fields have also become figures in the field.

This is the inevitable trend of the development of civilization.

Of course, just like those barbarians of the alien race who only know how to cultivate the martial realm and disregard human life, they can't understand these at all, and the power of worship is their absolute.

However, the most direct reason why barbarians will eventually be replaced by civilization is precisely because power is regarded as the only pursuit, because, in such a cultural landscape, you can think about how frequent civil strife is.

For example, for the sake of strength and power, father and son turn against each other, in the cultural concept of barbarians, they have formed a habitual thing, this kind of barbarian civilization in the martial realm is different from the Mongolian civilization of Ning Hongyuan in the previous life of the Eurasian continent, and the reason why Mongolian civilization can sweep Eurasia has a very important reason.

No matter how flawed Mongolian culture is, there is one fundamental one, that is, the relationship between father and son in Mongolian culture is united, even very united, and there are few cases where father and son are against each other, which has created the glory and barbarism of Mongolian civilization.

On the other hand, the Southern Song Dynasty at that time discarded the foundation of Chinese culture, "father, son, monarch and minister", but was picked up by Mongolia, which they once regarded as barbarians, so that the Southern Song Dynasty was not destroyed by Mongolia, which is called heavenly intolerance.

But these barbarians in the heavenly region are not like this, in the eyes of the people of the heavenly region, "these barbarians are not even as good as animals", this point of view is still very reasonable, father and son for the sake of strength and power against each other is just commonplace, the reason is the lack of cultural heritage, and culture is the key to the most able to unite people's hearts.

Therefore, in the past thousand years, the internal strife of the alien races around the Heavenly Domain has emerged one after another, far more than several times more than the internal strife of the Empire, so the territory of the Empire has become larger and larger every time.

That's the power of culture.

This is the proof under the pattern of diversified civilization, coupled with the fact that the way of cultivating martial arts is too bitter, blood and sweat, sleepless all night, and must be down-to-earth, therefore, many sons of the martial realm are unwilling to fight and kill like their fathers due to natural rebellion, and yearn for a quiet life, so there are also some noble children who have no martial arts ability, but their status is still extraordinary.

Tianyu culture has just sprouted the embryonic form of diversified development, and naturally there are many contradictions, such as the contradictions between literati and martial artists.

Unlike those warrior monks and warriors, these wealthy merchants and scholars wore gorgeous and bright brocade robes, which did not match the dark martial arts clothes worn by those martial artists.

The literati ridiculed these martial arts cultivators for only cultivating martial arts and did not understand the elegance of life, and what is the difference between a wild dog who only knows how to bite bones, but the martial artists ridiculed the literati for being powerless, but they had to pretend to be arrogant and live like cunning monkeys.

In the culture of Tianyu in this era, there is a certain class contradiction, that is, the contradiction between the martial arts cultivators and these wealthy businessmen and wealthy literati.

And this rich merchant and literati because they were born in a noble family, the family controls a large number of monopoly resources, the so-called martial arts cultivators are just small boys who work for them, they don't have to pay too much hard work and sweat, they can have no worries about food and clothing, they feel that these martial artists are very sad, they have worked hard for most of their lives, and in the end they still work for others, and they are poorly dressed, I am afraid that they don't even know what the elegant "concert" is.
