() In the mission hall of the Xuanguang Temple.

At this time, it was noon, and many outer palace disciples were gathering here in twos and threes, chatting quietly while checking the tasks of the outer palace disciples scrolling on the foreign affairs list.

"Senior Brother Luo, I heard that in a few months, the Outer Palace Grand Contest will be held, I wonder if this news is true or not?" asked in a low voice from one of the outer palace disciples.

The young man who was called Senior Brother Luo muttered: "It's true, but I heard that this Outer Palace Competition, the competition of Jindan Realm disciples, will not be held in our Outer Palace, but will be set up in a small city called Qingshan City in the Great Wilderness Dynasty, it is said that it is because the rules of the competition are related to the war of the demon clan, and the specific situation is still unclear to me." ”

"And what about our Foundation Cultivator's competition?" another outer palace disciple asked.

"Except for the change in the location of the competition between the disciples of the Jindan Realm, the competition between the disciples of the Qi Refining Period and the Foundation Building Realm seems to be still taking place on the Yanwu Peak. Senior Brother Luo said after a moment of silence.

"That's good, I thought the higher authorities were going to send us to the front line as well. An outer palace disciple said with palpitations.

"Don't worry, the front-line battlefield is so dangerous, how can the top send us foundation-building monks to die. Senior Brother Luo said with relief.

At this time, a disciple of the outer palace suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, I remember that Senior Brother Duan Chen of the Reverse Immortal Alliance seems to be from the Great Wilderness Dynasty, I heard that he had participated in the frontline battlefield before, and made a lot of contributions. ”

"I see, no wonder Senior Brother Duan Chen was able to make it to the Tongtian List, this person who has experienced the baptism of war is different. Senior Brother Luo groaned.

The other outer palace disciples nearby also nodded in agreement.

At the same time, in a mid-grade spiritual vein cave mansion in the Beiyuan Mountain Range, three young men dressed in the costumes of the disciples of the outer palace were sitting together and talking.

Among the three of them, sitting on the main seat was an extremely handsome young man, his eyes were like stars, his face was like a knife, and the bridge of his nose was high.

"Senior Brother Liu, it is said that our outer palace has recently produced a powerful person named Duan Chen, who broke through the Heavenly Tower for the first time not long ago and defeated the first level of the second layer

's guarding demon beast, ranked 937th on the Tongtian List, this time the outer palace competition, this time is likely to threaten your status. ”

Sitting opposite Liu Tianming was a somewhat lean man, this person's cultivation had also reached the False Pill realm, but the aura in his body was not very stable, and it seemed that he had just broken through to the False Dan realm.

"You mean that the leader of the Reverse Immortal Alliance, Duan Chen, I have also heard some outer palace disciples talking about this person recently, and his strength is indeed not to be underestimated. Liu Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly.

When another young man heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Although this Chen has been on the Tongtian list, but the ranking is below you, Senior Brother Liu, if you really want to meet in the big competition, it must be Senior Brother Liu, your chances of winning are greater." ”

When Liu Tianming heard this, he just smiled and didn't speak.

At the same time, in other parts of the Beiyuan Mountain Range, as the news of the upcoming Outer Palace Grand Competition was gradually confirmed and spread, many Outer Palace disciples were in full swing to collect the intelligence information of their opponents.

Under such circumstances, Duan Chen, who had recently become famous in the outer palace, naturally came into the sight of many people.

However, regarding the attention and discussion of the outside world, Duan Chen, who was in retreat and cultivation in the cave mansion, naturally had no idea.

Time flies, and before you know it, a month has passed.

In the past month, there have been disciples of the Outer Palace who have gone out to carry out tasks and rushed back from the outside world, and the disciples of the Outer Palace, who had originally stayed in the Beiyuan Mountain Range, have entered the state of retreat and cultivation one after another, preparing for the upcoming Outer Palace Dabi.

For a while, the entire Beiyuan Mountain Range suddenly became a lot quieter because of the large number of outer palace disciples who were in retreat and cultivation.

On this day, in the quiet room of Yunlaifeng Cave Mansion, Duan Chen was sitting cross-legged, the blood light around his body flickering, and the color was extremely viscous and rich.

Suddenly, under a violent and crazy flickering of blood light, it suddenly flourished, enveloping the entire quiet room, and then accompanied by a sound that seemed to be blood boiling from Duan Chen's body, followed by wisps of blood mist surging out from between Duan Chen's snorts, and transformed into a blood Jiao more than ten zhang long encircling around Duan Chen's body, lifelike.

It is said that the space of the entire quiet room was not large, and after this blood Jiao appeared, it almost occupied the entire silence

room space.

However, at this moment, Duan Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and the blood in his eyes flashed, and then the entire blood Jiao instantly shrank by a few times, but its body also became more condensed, and began to swim slowly around Duan Chen's body.

At this time, the blood Jiao, whose body length is only six or seven zhang, is formed by blood mist, but the condensation of the body, even the scales on the surface of the body are clearly visible, and the breath emanating from its body also contains a palpitating ferocity.

Duan Chen's eyes flickered with blood, he glanced at the blood Jiao that surrounded him, and his mind moved, and the latter immediately collapsed in the void and turned into blood mist again and submerged into his body.

At this point, Duan Chen's secret technique of controlling blood has finally reached the realm of Xiaocheng.

However, this is also thanks to the fact that he has been taking drugs to improve the power of qi and blood during this time, cultivating hard, and cultivating the blood nerve to the third level.

Since cultivating the blood nerve to the third level, all the blood path secret techniques that Duan Chen had cultivated before had been used, and the power had increased a lot, and even the speed of opening up the qi and blood in his body had also accelerated a lot.

Now that Duan Chen's body has opened up more than ninety qi and blood tricks, it won't be long before he can break through to one hundred.

At that time, the power of the Thousands of Qi and Blood Technique, a secret technique of the Blood Dao, will also be greatly improved, which is exciting to think about.

However, Duan Chen's biggest gain from cultivating the blood nerve to the third level this time was not to open up the qi and blood aperture to more than ninety places, but to gain the ability to manipulate the blood in other people's bodies, which was also a blood control method given to him after the blood nerve cultivation reached the third level.

Although the scope of action of this kind of blood control method is only more than ten zhang at present, as long as it is used well, it can play a role in defeating the enemy in battle.

Moreover, as Duan Chen continued to cultivate the blood nerve in the future, the scope of effect of this blood control method would continue to expand, and the power would become more and more terrifying.

Thinking of this, Duan Chen's face couldn't help but show a hint of expectation, but after a moment, he seemed to think of something, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes flickered, and his face showed a hint of distress.

Although his retreat cultivation had broken through the blood nerve to the third level, the distance between the Nine Yang Demon Body and the breakthrough to the Five Yang Realm always seemed to be a little bit worse.
