Duan Chen sat alone in the bamboo garden, looking at the environment of the entire bamboo garden, while waiting for the King of the Desolate Heaven to summon him.

About an hour later, a guard in golden armor arrived outside the bamboo garden and led Duan Chen out of the June Court and into a pavilion.

The pavilion is surrounded by lotus leaves, the lake is sparkling, and I saw the king of the barren sky sitting alone in the pavilion, and the wide dragon robe was dragged to the ground, but it was still dusty.

At his feet, a golden beast was lying on its stomach with its eyes closed, although it was only three feet long, Duan Chen still recognized this golden beast as the golden python that had reached the realm of Jindan.

After the golden-armored guard took Duan Chen to the pavilion, he took the initiative to retreat.

Duan Chen had no choice but to step forward alone, saluted respectfully, and said, "Apprentice to meet the master." ”

The Desolate Heaven King nodded slightly, pointed to the seat next to him, and motioned for Duan Chen to sit down.

After Duan Chen sat down, he slowly spoke: "You have already been to the June Court, and you must have learned from Wei Xian that the other five of my six disciples are all practicing in the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, except for you?"

Duan Chen nodded and said, "Master Mingjian, the apprentice just knew. ”

The Desolate Heavenly King continued: "Since this is the case, then I will test you, do you know why your five senior brothers and sisters can all practice in the Beiyuan Immortal Palace?"

Duan Chen said without thinking: "Is it because of the first generation of ancestors?"

As we all know, the first ancestor of the Great Wilderness Royal Family came from the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, which is also the root of the close relationship between the Great Wilderness Royal Family and the Beiyuan Immortal Palace for thousands of years, and it is also the basis for the Great Wilderness Dynasty to become the first powerful country in the North East China Regions.

The Desolate Heavenly King nodded and said: "Yes, because of the relationship between the first generation of ancestors, every generation of kings of my Great Desolate Dynasty, as long as they cultivate to reach the Jindan realm, they will automatically become the elders of the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, and now that you are worshipping under my door, you will naturally become a disciple of the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace." ”

At this point, the Desolate Heaven King suddenly raised his hand and shot out a golden light, which submerged into Duan Chen's eyebrows and turned into a stream of information.

Only then did Duan Chen know that the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, as one of the top ten sects of the Immortal Dao in the Donghua Continent, had been divided into the Inner Palace and the Outer Palace since the day it was founded.

The inner palace disciple elders and the outer palace disciple elders are not much different in the status of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, but in fact, the rights and treatment between the two are very different, the most obvious point is that the masters of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace in the past dynasties are all from the inner palace, and the outer palace can produce a deputy palace master is Dingtian.

Of course, this is also related to the distinction between inside and outside the Beiyuan Immortal Palace.

Compared with the inner palace, the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace is relatively simple, as long as the background is innocent and the qualifications meet the minimum requirements, and if you want to join the inner palace, in addition to the requirements for innocence and qualifications, the most important point is to be absolutely loyal to the Beiyuan Immortal Palace.

For example, the Desolate Heavenly King, although he is a Jindan monk, he is first the lord of the Great Desolate Dynasty, and then he is the elder of the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace.

In the mind of the Desolate Heavenly King, the importance of the wheel, the Great Desolate Dynasty is ranked first, and the Beiyuan Immortal Palace can only be ranked second at most, so no matter what, the Desolate Heavenly King cannot worship in the inner palace.

There was not much introduction to the Beiyuan Immortal Palace in that golden light, and Duan Chen quickly finished reading it, and he also had a better understanding of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace in his heart.

At this time, I only heard the Desolate Heavenly King continue: "You are now worshiping under my door, and when the time is ripe in the future, I will also send you to the Beiyuan Immortal Palace to practice, you don't have to worry about this." ”

With that, with a wave of his palm, two golden tokens flew out and landed in front of Duan Chen.

Duan Chen took it, looked at it fixedly, and saw that the two tokens were engraved with the words "Beiyuan Immortal Palace" and "Great Wilderness Dynasty" respectively, and the back was engraved with the words "Duan Chen, a disciple of the outer palace" and "Disciple of the Son of Heaven", and in the lower right corner, there was also the mark of the King of the Wilderness.

I only heard the Desolate Heavenly King say lightly: "These two tokens, one is the Beiyuan Immortal Palace's outer palace disciple token, and the other is your identity token in the Great Desolate Dynasty. ”

After speaking, he raised his hand again and shot out a golden light, which did not enter Duan Chen's eyebrows.

Only then did Duan Chen understand that the Son of Heaven protégé token was almost equivalent to a death-free token in the Great Wilderness Dynasty, and through this token, he could also enter and exit the Daozang Hall where the Great Wilderness royal family stored the martial arts books, as well as contact the Desolate Heavenly King.

However, using this token to contact the Desolate Heavenly King is only limited to the territory of the Great Desolate Dynasty, beyond this range, you can only use the Beiyuan Immortal Palace Outer Palace Disciple Token.

Compared with the first Son of Heaven Protégé Token, the second Beiyuan Immortal Palace Outer Palace Disciple Token is extremely useful, but most of the functions can only be used after Duan Chen goes to the Beiyuan Immortal Palace to practice.

At present, the only thing that can be used to use this token is to contact the disciples and elders who are also Beiyuan Immortal Palace.

However, even for this sole purpose, the two parties need to leave a contact mark on each other's tokens.

But right now, Duan Chen's outer palace disciple token only seems to have the contact mark of the Desolate Heavenly King, so he can only contact the Desolate Heavenly King now.

However, Duan Chen had already thought about it, and when he had the opportunity in the future, he would first go and get the contact marks of Zhuge Xuanshuang, Li Mubai and Gu Ling'er.

Thinking of this, Duan Chen suddenly heard the voice of the Desolate Heavenly King in his ears, and said: "In your outer palace disciple token, in addition to the contact mark I left, the contact mark of Senior Sister Taimiao and Senior Brother Taixu is also among them, if you encounter any trouble in the Northern Regions in the future, you can also ask him and the two for help." ”

Duan Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Master." ”

The King of the Desolate Heaven waved his hand and said: "You worship under my door, I should find a way to protect you, but you should not rely on the contact information of the three of us to erect a strong enemy indiscriminately, after all, unless the three of us are nearby, we will definitely not be able to save you in time." ”

Duan Chen said respectfully: "Disciple understands. ”

The Desolate Heaven King nodded and said, "The matter of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, it is enough for you to know so much at present, and then it is time to talk about how you will cultivate in the future." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "I am the King of the Desolate Heaven to teach my disciples, I have always taught students according to their aptitude, you used to practice alone, and you were able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building at a young age, which proves that you are indeed extremely talented, so in the future, I will not give you too much guidance on your cultivation path, but if you have any confusion in your cultivation, you can contact me through the token at any time." Of course, if it's during my retreat, you may not be able to get in touch. ”

Duan Chen nodded obediently and said, "Yes." ”

A smile appeared on the face of the Desolate Heaven King, for Duan Chen, the most satisfying thing about him was that he had cultivated alone to the late stage of foundation building.

On the road of the strong, there are many aspects that the master can help the disciple in the early stage, but as the cultivation realm becomes more and more profound, especially when the cultivation realm of the master and apprentice is almost the same, at this time, the master can help the disciple in very few aspects, and in the end, it is still up to the disciple to explore and practice alone.

Therefore, the Emperor of the Wild Heaven taught his disciples that in addition to teaching them according to their aptitude, they also focused on letting themselves be born and cultivating their habit of practicing alone.

Therefore, for Duan Chen's ability to cultivate alone to the late stage of foundation building, the Desolate Heavenly King was very satisfied.

After pondering for a moment, the Desolate Heaven King said: "In another half a year, it will be the period of the Five Dynasties, before that, you will stay in the Great Desolate King City to retreat and practice, and strive to break through to the peak of foundation building as soon as possible." ”

Duan Chen couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment when he heard this, and said, "Master, after the disciple plans to go to the Daozang Palace, he will set off to the north and train all the way to the Northern Xia Royal City. ”

The Northern Xia Royal City, from the northern border where the Northern Frontier City of the Great Wilderness Dynasty is located, is not too far away, Duan Chen has already calculated in advance, as long as he teleports from the Great Wilderness Royal City to the Northern Xinjiang City, and then sets off from the Northern Xinjiang City, it will not take half a year, he can rush to the Northern Xia Royal City in advance.

The Desolate Heaven King showed a hint of surprise on his face and said, "You plan to train all the way to the Northern Xia King City?"

Duan Chen nodded with a firm expression and said, "Rather than letting the disciple go to a safe corner and cultivate like a closed door, the disciple prefers to go out and practice. ”

The King of the Desolate Heaven originally wanted to persuade Duan Chen, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "There is a way that men are ambitious in all directions, you can think so, Shizun is very pleased, that is the case, after you go to the Daozang Palace, you will teleport to the Northern Xinjiang City with the Northern Frontier City Lord and them." ”

Duan Chen said with a grateful face: "Thank you for your kindness." ”

His remarks were actually just made up in order to persuade the King of the Wasteland, and his real purpose was actually to rush to the Northern Xia King City in advance to investigate the truth about the impeachment and collusion of demons in the Zhenguo Mansion back then.

The Desolate Heaven King looked at Duan Chen, pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, there was something that I planned to wait until half a year later to give it to you, but since you plan to go to the Northern Xia Dynasty for training, then this thing can only be given to you in advance." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "All the disciples who worship under my door, I will never favor one over the other, your previous five senior brothers and sisters have all received a low-grade magic weapon from me, I originally planned to wait for you to practice for half a year to break through to the peak of foundation building, and then hand over this magic weapon to you, but now it seems that I can't wait." ”

Duan Chen's heart trembled when he heard this.

The magic weapon of the next grade?

At this time, I only heard the Desolate Heavenly King continue: "You are still only a foundation building monk now, so this low-grade magic weapon that I want to give you is related to life-saving, this treasure is called the Mirror of the Water Moon, which was once used by your senior brother and third senior sister, but then they couldn't use it, so I took it back, and now you are its third master." ”

As he spoke, the Desolate Heaven King waved his hand, and a palm-sized mirror appeared in mid-air, slowly falling in front of Duan Chen.

The golden moire border is lined with a silver mirror, and faintly, in the silver mirror, there seems to be a tree shadow shaking, like the bright moon in the sky.

Duan Chen took the Water Moon Mirror, his heart was excited, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Seeing this, the Desolate Heavenly King couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be too happy, you are still only a foundation building cultivator, even if I pass on your blood refining method, if you want to refine the low-grade magic weapon of the Water Moon Mirror, it will take at least a month." ”

Duan Chen nodded and said, "Disciple understands. ”

In his heart, he secretly spoke, although he knew that it was very difficult for the foundation building cultivator to refine the low-grade magic weapon, but it actually took a month, which was simply longer than the time it took him to refine ten or twenty top-grade magic weapons combined.
