Thousands of miles away from the northeast of Xuanyuan Xiazong, a majestic mountain range stretching for thousands of miles winds like a giant dragon dominating one side, among which there are green dense forests, deep valleys, flying waterfalls, and snow-capped peaks.

A brown spirit boat floated in front of a cliff of ten thousand people, carrying two people, it was Xu Jingtian and Yuan Qing who flew here for a day and a night.

Yuan Qing looked at the cliff in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother Xu, is this where the Shangzong is located?"

Xu Jingtian smiled slightly when he heard this, turned over his hand and took out a black-gold token of unknown material, and several magic tricks were played, and the token floated in front of him.

Then a ghostly light shone into the void in front of him, like a stone entering the water, causing a circle of ripples, and the cliff behind it was also blurred and distorted.

Xu Jingtian put away the token, and the flying boat moved forward little by little, and after it completely disappeared, the cliff void returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

As if entering a new world, Yuan Qing only felt that every pore on his body was swallowing the rich heaven and earth vitality around him, and the remnants of the embryo in his body were turning a little faster.

The first thing you see is a wide and quiet river, blue and clear, with a few docks, boating and fishing, or playing and drinking.

After that, there are heavy mountains and mountains, lush and green, endless, there are pavilions and terraces standing in a forest, the palace is in groups, from time to time there are monks or riding cranes, or riding spirit birds, or borrowing a flying leaf, or setting up a light to come and go.

Then you can see a majestic main peak, build a magnificent hall on the top, resplendent gold; to the extreme distance, you can faintly see three floating peaks hanging high in the air, surrounded by clouds and smoke, can not see really.

Xu Jingtian did not wake up Yuan Qing, who was immersed in the shock, nor did he continue to move forward, but just waited quietly in place.

After a while, two rays of light, one red and one yellow, came from left to right, and after showing the figure, it can be seen that the person on the left hand is tall, with a powerful face, wearing a yellow robe, riding an earth-colored flying boat;

"Senior Brother Xu is fine. The two of them saluted together.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Yang. Xu Jingtian returned the salute.

"Senior Brother Xu is going back to the sect this time, but he wants to take this young man into the Ning Yuan Spirit Pool?" asked the man in the green shirt after looking at Yuan Qing at the bottom of the mountain.

"Not bad. ”

The man in yellow glanced at Yuan Qing and said, "If you can bother Senior Brother Xu to escort him personally, this junior brother must be an extraordinary person." ”

Xu Jingtian smiled: "This time, Xu has something important to report to the master, and it is just a convenient move to take him." ”

"In this case, the two of us won't bother much, Senior Brother Xu, please. The man in the green shirt stood up from the firebird and arched his hand, and the man in yellow also gave a salute, and then the two of them turned away and left.

Xu Jingtian's heart moved, and the flying boat took off and broke through the air.

Xu Jingtian did not take the initiative to speak along the way, and although Yuan Qing was a little puzzled, he was soon attracted by the scenery below.

The boat was now flying over a vast lake, calm as a mirror, dotted with small islands, and occasionally seen monks coming and going.

"This is the Falling Star Lake, and there are several small spiritual veins intersecting at the bottom of the lake, which is a good place for caves. Xu Jingtian's gentle voice came from the front.

Yuan Qing nodded thoughtfully. Soon, the flying boat sailed into a valley, and the fog inside it was churning, and Yuan Qing took a deep breath, and it was actually extremely rich Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

There was a large hall in the middle of the valley, and when the two of them landed in front of the hall, a slightly chubby monk wearing a brown robe stepped forward and asked, "I've seen Senior Brother Xu." I don't know where Senior Brother Xu came from this time?"

"It was Liu Han's junior brother who was on duty, and this time I was sending this junior brother into the spiritual pool. Saying that, he took half a step sideways and let Yuan Qing after his birth.

"Yuan Qing has seen Senior Brother Liu. Yuan Qing stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Well, it's worthy of the top name of the big competition, and it's really extraordinary. Liu Han praised casually, turned his head to Xu Jingtian and continued: "Senior Brother Xu, after drinking tea in the hall, I will take this junior brother into the spiritual pool first." ”

Xu Jingtian waved his hand and said, "There's no need to drink tea, I still have to go to see the Venerable Master, so I'll leave." ”

"Senior Brother Xu walked slowly. Liu Han bowed, and Yuan Qing also saluted.

Xu Jingtian arched his hand slightly, and then turned into blue light and broke through the air.

Liu Han turned around and asked as he walked, "Senior Brother Yuan, do you know what a spirit pool is?"

Yuan Qing replied honestly: "According to the Xuanyuan Tongjian, the Ning Yuan Spirit Pool is a large natural spiritual eye, which was sealed in the tower by the predecessors of our sect with supreme supernatural powers, separated into three layers, and the spiritual energy is too rich, turning the gas into liquid, thinking that the spiritual pool." ”

"Not bad. Then do you know what are the risks of entering this spirit pool?" asked Senior Brother Liu with a smile

"The risk? Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly.

"Our monks cannot do without the vitality of heaven and earth in their cultivation, but if the spiritual energy is too heavy and exceeds the limit that the monk can hold, when he breathes in, the meridians will be reversed and his cultivation will be regressive, and the sea of qi will collapse and his body will explode and he will die. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Qing and saw that he was listening carefully, so he continued: "The first layer of the spirit pool is suitable for cultivators who have cultivated qi to the foundation building period, the second layer is not accessible to non-Jindan monks, and as for the third layer, I heard that only when you reach the legendary incarnation realm can you breathe it in. The aura at the edge of each layer is the thinnest, and the more you move towards the center, the heavier the aura becomes. Senior Brother Yuan, I see that your cultivation is now, it is best to be at the edge of the first layer, and you must not be greedy for merit, so as not to cause unforeseen disasters. ”

In the end, there is something serious about it.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu, for the point. Yuan Qing bowed and thanked sincerely.

Liu Han sighed lightly: "There is no treasure on you, you must also be from a secular background, it is not easy for us and other secular children to practice, you must cherish it!"

As he spoke, the two walked into the hall. The main hall is built on the mountain, the mountain wall is smooth and flat, the tables, chairs and beds are all available in it, and there are many fragrances rising in the incense burner.

Liu Han walked to the mountain wall, a magic trick was played, the stone wall twisted and dissipated to reveal a large circular hole one person high, the top of the cave was inlaid with a night pearl, and there was a white jade ladder under it.

Yuan Qing stepped forward, and a cool breeze mixed with pure aura rushed to his face, which made people's spirits shocked.

"Senior Brother Liu, I'm going. Yuan Qing arched his hand and said.

"Senior Brother Yuan, remember that you can only stay in the spirit pool for seven days, and if you don't see anyone after seven days, I will go down to look for you. ”

Yuan Qing was just reading the arch hand, and then he walked down with his head held high.

Liu Han immediately pinched the trick, and the stone wall instantly returned to its original state, and then he returned to the couch and closed his eyes to settle down.

Yuan Qing went down the stairs, about more than 100 steps, suddenly opened, only to see a huge grotto with a radius of 100 zhang, there is a white jade pool with a radius of 10 zhang in the center, the white mist on the pond is swirling, take a closer look, the pool is about three feet deep, and it is full of milky white liquid.

Just smelling it, Yuan Qing felt that a pure aura went straight to his lungs, and his whole body was comfortable.

No longer hesitating, Yuan Qing jumped into the pool, picked a edge position and sat down cross-legged, the pool water overflowed his shoulders and stopped at the neck, and then he calmed down and carried the "Taibai Sword Sutra", the five internal organs in the body were full of fire, and the residual embryo also rotated rapidly.

An hour later, Yuan Qing opened his eyes and frowned and thought about something.

After a few moments, he got up and walked about a foot to the center, then sat down cross-legged and concentrated.

The dirty fire here is even stronger, and the remnant embryo rotates faster, but four hours have passed, but this twelfth sword qi has not even appeared.

Yuan Qing frowned, and then as if he had made a big decision, he actually got up and walked forward a distance.

As soon as he took a step, Yuan Qing only felt a surge of spiritual pressure rushing towards his face, the remnants of the embryo in his body rotated independently, and the four star-dotted small swords in the sea of consciousness also rotated around the silver point of light in the middle;

Yuan Qing tried to sit down cross-legged here, running the exercises frantically, and fell into a deep state of concentration.

Hundreds of miles south of Xuanyuan Mountain Gate, in a palatial hall, an old man in brown was bowing down to the person who was back in front of him and said: "The master of the family, the young master has sent news, the young lady missed, and there is no chance to build the foundation, and the young master only won the second place, and he is not blessed to enter the spiritual pool." ”

"Oh?" the man turned around and saw that he was about forty years old, his hair was pulled up at will, his face was ordinary, he was wearing a dark gold robe, and he was not angry, "Who is the first to be named?"

"The head of the Yu family is a mortal disciple named Yuan Qing, according to the young master, this person's swordsmanship is not trivial, and he can break the Xuan Qi with just a low-grade wooden sword weapon, and it seems that he still has spare strength. ”

"What do they mean?"

"The young lady was quite angry, and seemed to want to get rid of this person, but the young master thought that this person might be of my use. ”

"Well, let's do what the apocalypse wants. Go down. After saying that, he turned around and continued to stare at the Sanqing statue in front of him.

When the old man heard this, he retreated.

At the same time, in the main peak hall of the Xuanyuan Gate, Xu Jingtian respectfully reported to a white-clothed young man who looked to be in his early twenties: "Master, this time the lower sect not only has a genius like Zhu Ling'er who is rare in ten thousand years, but also the Heavenly Thunder Law Body, as well as the Nine Spirit Sword Body that won the first place this time, it seems that the sect is in a hurry." However, this time, the Dabi Su family actually used the best magic weapon, and with the resources of the Su family, it would not be the case with the Zhuji Dan and the Spirit Pool. ”

"Sedum, a genius must also grow up to be called a genius; as for the Su family, it is just a clown who jumps off the beam, even if he has a plan, it is not worth mentioning. It's that you still have ten years before you can return to the sect, and your cultivation has also reached the late stage of Yudan. Come back and advance to the Yuanying as soon as possible, the sect has you presiding, and you can rest assured as a teacher. ”

"Master wants to travel far away?"

The young man sighed: "The war in the north has started again, not only me, but also the old guys of several big factions in Shangqing and Taiyuan will also go, even a few ancestors." ”

"Is the war so tense?" Xu Jingtian couldn't help but ask.

The young man snorted coldly: "Hmph, a few old immortals of the demon clan don't know what they want to do, what kind of beast tide they are agitating, and many countries have been swept away." I want to see how they have grown over the past hundred years. ”

Xu Jingtian frowned after hearing this, and was silent.

Five days later.

Yuan Qing in the spirit pool looked calm and peaceful, without thoughts or thoughts, the twelfth sword qi in his body had already taken shape, and there were only four points of light left in the four small swords in the sea of knowledge, and the silver points of light in the middle were also brighter.

A day later, with a roar, the sword qi finally took shape, but this sword qi was exceptionally thick.

The moment it appeared, the remnant embryo was shocked, and a grand sword qi rushed straight into the Mud Pill Palace, and the four star points were rushed by this sword qi, and they all submerged into the silver light point in the middle, and the sword qi followed closely and did not enter it.

It seems that there is only one breath, and it seems that a long time has passed, "hiss", a silver illusory small sword in the sea of knowledge seems to break out of the cocoon, and with a slight stroke, the remaining silver shell becomes a little silver light, and then it is thrown into the small sword like a tired bird returning to its nest, and the small sword is instantly solidified.

The small sword slashed again, and a similar illusory sword shadow appeared in the sea of qi, and in a flash, it slashed at the twelfth sword qi, splitting it into two, and at the same time, the remnant embryo emitted a great suction, and the two sword qi were instantly sucked to the spine of the sword, and with a clear sound, the sword embryo was finally formed.

Then the sword embryo was shocked, and suddenly the sword qi was like a dragon, and it traveled along the eight veins of the Qi Meridian Zhou Tian, and within a few breaths, it returned to the dantian and submerged into the sword embryo, and the meridian qi in the body was doubled, and the residual sword qi was integrated into the meridian bones, making it more tenacious.

From the outside, Yuan Qing kept having dirty blood flowing out of all parts of his body at this time, and he was turned invisible by the aura, and his face was still without sadness or joy.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly a sword roared, its sound became more and more melodious, enduring, and then the silver light was flourishing, and a sword-shaped phantom came out of the body, sweeping away the spiritual mist in the pool.

Yuan Qing slowly opened his eyes, there seemed to be a flash of sword light in his eyes, after a little thought, he got up and walked forward, step by step to the middle of the spirit pool, and then sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes and calming.

At the end of the seventh day, Liu Han opened the formation and was about to go down to find Yuanqing, only to see him standing at the entrance of the cave, as if he had been waiting for a while, and after looking carefully, he only felt that the person in front of him was like a sheathed sword, and the sword was rushing into the sky.

When Yuan Qing saw Liu Han, he smiled slightly and said, "Senior Brother Liu." ”
