() At the same time as Duan Chen rushed back to Beiyuan City, in the Beiyuan Mountain Range, in a cave world where the inner palace on the fourth floor of the Tower of Babel was located.

The space here is incomparably vast, much larger than the entire Beiyuan Mountain Range, and it is filled with incomparably rich spiritual energy everywhere, and in terms of the concentration of spiritual energy alone, it is above the Beiyuan Mountain Range.

And in the center of this cave world, a huge mountain peak covering an area of hundreds of miles is suspended in the air, and the whole body of the giant peak is in the shape of a spar, and if you look closely, it is actually a spirit stone peak composed of spirit stones.

It can be seen that on this Lingshi peak, there are many pavilions and palaces built, all of which are blooming with colorful glow and sparkling.

Around the Giant Peak, there are also hundreds of smaller floating peaks.

Between the giant peak and the floating peak, there are thick black chains, and from a distance, it seems as if the giant peak pulls hundreds of smaller peaks into the air, and it is like hundreds of floating peaks with stars and moons, surrounding the giant peak in the center.

And on the peak of the giant peak, there stands a splendid hall, this hall is towering and towering, the momentum is majestic, there is a great force that will be the top of the mountain, a look at the majestic spirit of the mountains.

In addition, at the top of the entrance of the main hall hangs a plaque made of gold and jade, which is engraved with the three big characters of "Ling Jue Palace".

Ling Jue Palace, Ling Jue Peak, no one knows in the Inner Palace, no one knows, it is a place where the palace master of the Inner Palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace has been in retreat and cultivation for a long time, so don't say that the disciples of the Inner Palace, even the elders of the Inner Palace, if they are not summoned, they are not allowed to approach this hall for half a step.

Otherwise, without the help of the hall elders, they would be directly wiped out by the Zhenfeng Great Array on Ling Jue Peak.

At this time, under an ancient pine and cypress not far from the Ling Jue Palace, two gray-haired old men, one dressed in white and the other dressed in black, were playing a game.

I saw the old man in black holding a sunspot in his hand, staring at the chess game on the chessboard, thinking hard about where to fall next.

Around the two of them, cranes either flew by, or fell from the sky, and landed beside the two of them, not only noisy, but rather spiritually staring at the chess game on the chessboard, as if they were watching.

At this moment, a blue sword light shot out from the sea of clouds in the distance, passing through the many floating peaks, and then flew towards the peak of Ling Jue Peak.

Wherever the blue sword light passed, a cold frost aura spread, causing frost to faintly form in the void.

A moment later, the blue sword light flew to the peak of Ling Jue Peak, and then I saw the sword light converge, and a tall woman with a beautiful appearance but a hint of cold temperament appeared on the spot.

"The disciple visits the elder. After the sword light around the woman's body disappeared, she immediately walked quickly in front of the two old men and bowed.

"It's Xuanshuang!" The old man in white glanced at the old man in black who was still meditating, and then his eyes turned and fell on the woman:

"I heard that girl from Qingyue said that in order to break through the Jindan Realm, you were greedy for merit and rashly entered, causing the Dao body to get out of control, but fortunately, nothing major happened this time, and you must not be so reckless in the future. ”

"It's not right to make the elders worry, it's Xuanshuang's fault. Zhuge Xuanshuang said apologetically.

"You grew up watching us, we don't care who else can you care about?"

The old man in white shook his head, glanced up and down at Zhuge Xuanshuang, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face and said, "Have you broken through to the late stage of Jindan?"

"Yes, the disciple's Dao body went out of control this time, causing the Xuanyin Qi in his body to leak out, and he froze himself

sealed, but because of this, it was a blessing in disguise, and after refining those Xuanyin qi, he was able to break through to the late stage of Jindan. Zhuge Xuanshuang replied truthfully.

"The Innate Dao Body is really extraordinary, and this kind of cultivation is really envious of us. When the old man in black heard this, he finally came back to his senses from his hard thinking and meditation, and said with envy.

"Okay, you don't talk nonsense, hurry up, it's almost past a cup of tea, if you can't think of the next step, quickly admit defeat." ”

The old man in white urged in his mouth, and then looked at Zhuge Xuanshuang and said: "Little girl, are you here to meet the palace master?" The palace master has already greeted us in advance, if you want to meet him, you can go in at any time, and you don't need to ask our second elder for instructions." ”

"Thank you, Elder, then Xuanshuang will go first to meet the palace master. ”

After Zhuge Xuanshuang finished speaking, he bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the Ling Jue Hall not far away, and then went straight through several corridors behind the door of the Ling Jue Palace, and came to a hall.

The hall here was extremely empty, only a golden throne was placed on the high platform above the deepest staircase, but at this moment, even this golden throne was empty.

However, at the moment when Zhuge Xuanshuang stepped into the hall, with the golden throne as the center, wisps of gray mist suddenly converged from all directions, and a gray figure condensed between breaths.

The figure was wrapped in a gray haze from top to bottom, and the shape could not be seen clearly, only a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts were revealed, sharp and sharp, giving people a sense of majesty.

Seeing this, Zhuge Xuanshuang couldn't help but step forward and said, "Disciple Zhuge Xuanshuang, meet the palace master." ”

The gray figure's gaze fell on Zhuge Xuanshuang, and suddenly became much softer:

"I already know your intentions, but the front-line battlefield is full of crises, even if you break through to the late stage of Jindan now, it won't help at all when you get there, why not cultivate in the inner palace with peace of mind, and strive to break through to the realm of Yuanying and even God Transformation as soon as possible, wouldn't it be better if you return to the battlefield at that time?"

"Qiyu Palace Master, the battle situation on the front line is changing rapidly, and the disciple can't afford to wait, as for the matter of cultivation, the disciple has an innate Dao body, and it is the same wherever he cultivates. Zhuge Xuanshuang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The gray figure's eyes moved slightly, his eyes looked directly at Zhuge Xuanshuang, and only after a while did he sigh lightly: "You have become smarter than before, if you don't say something, I can guess it, this Qingshan City, you really have to go?"

"You have to go!" Zhuge Xuanshuang said with a firm face.

"Since you have made up your mind, then I will not persuade you. ”

The gray figure waved his hand when he heard this, and an extremely delicate storage ring flew down in front of Zhuge Xuanshuang, and said: "Here are some of the materials I prepared for you to refine the natal magic weapon, as well as the things needed for the cultivation of the ice spirit body, I have only one request for you, before you leave the inner palace, you must first refine the natal magic weapon." ”

"Thank you, Gong Master. Zhuge Xuanshuang stretched out his hand to take the storage ring, and bowed gratefully.

"Although I promised you to go to Qingshan City, you can't come nonsense, don't forget your identity, and take your own safety as the first criterion in everything. The gray figure groaned slightly, and then spoke.

"The disciple understands. Zhuge Xuanshuang agreed.

"Go ahead and don't live up to my expectations of you. The gray figure said, and his eyes slowly closed.

"Yes, the disciple has retired. Zhuge Xuanshuang agreed again, and then walked out quickly.

Not long after he left, the void in the hall fluctuated, and then the figures of the old man in white and the old man in black appeared out of thin air.

"Great Palace Master, the front-line battlefield is full of crises, how can you agree to her request? If something goes wrong, won't all our years of hard work be in vain?" The old man in black had an impatient personality, and seeing that Zhuge Xuanshuang had already gone away, he couldn't help but ask.

"Xiahou Yuan, how did you talk to the Great Palace Lord? How does the Great Palace Lord act, he has his own considerations, when do you need to remind the accusation?" The old man in white was afraid that the old man in black would offend the gray figure, so he immediately took the first step and shouted.

"It's okay, what Elder Xiahou said is not unreasonable. The gray figure slowly opened his eyes, and said indifferently: "But you also know Xuanshuang's temperament, and even I can't change what she has decided." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "As the saying goes, it's better to be sparse, it's better to be sparse, since she wants to go, then let her go, you two only need to be responsible for secretly protecting her safety, in case you can't do anything, you will take her and Zhuge Qingshan away together, as for the others, let them have their own destiny." ”

"Yes. The old man in white and the old man in black nodded in agreement, and their figures quickly disappeared from the hall.

"The little girl has really grown up, are you worried that I will abandon Qingshan City like I ordered to abandon Kaiyuan City, so I don't hesitate to suspect myself?"

A moment later, a gray mist rolled around him, and his figure disappeared from the hall.

......

Outside the Beiyuan Mountain Range, Duan Chen finally returned to Beiyuan City after more than half a long journey and teleportation, and then returned to the Reverse Immortal Alliance station in Beiyuan City alone without alarming anyone.

"Brother Duan, are you back?" Nangong Yao, who had been dealing with the affairs of the Reverse Immortal Alliance in the station, immediately got up and greeted him with a happy face when he saw Duan Chen return safely.

Duan Chen didn't notice the change in Nangong Yao's title, nodded slightly, and immediately asked, "During the time I left the Beiyuan Mountain Range, did anything unusual happen in the outer palace?"

He asked with ease, but in fact he was a little uneasy.

Ever since he learned that there were still outsiders present when he killed Shi Jun and Zuo Shan Ming that day, he had been worried that this matter would be stabbed and exposed, because he did not rush back to the Beiyuan Mountains as soon as possible, but returned to the station of Beiyuan City to investigate the situation first.

Nangong Yao did not doubt him, and said with a smile on her face: "There is nothing major happening in the outer palace during this time, but there was a great joy in our Reverse Immortal Alliance a few days ago. ”

Duan Chen's heart was slightly relieved when he heard this, and then he asked with a little curiosity, "What is the great event?"

Nangong Yao said with a smile: "My eldest brother has broken through to the Jindan stage. ”

"What, Nangong Daoyou, he broke through to the Jindan stage, when did this happen?" Duan Chen asked with a surprised expression.

"It didn't take long, it just happened a few days ago, my eldest brother is now in retreat to consolidate his cultivation, and it will probably take a while before he can get out. Nangong Yao said in a deep voice.

"Then after your eldest brother is out of the customs, let's gather the members of our Anti-Immortal Alliance, I still have some things to announce at that time. Duan Chen nodded, and then didn't stay in the Beiyuan City station for long, and returned directly to the Beiyuan Mountain Range.
