In a temporary cave mansion in the Sword Mound Plain, Xi Yan and Wu Chenlong were guarding the entrance, keeping vigilance.

Five days have passed, Cheng Ling has been recovering his true yuan and spiritual power in the cave, and Xiyan is secretly worried that he has not come out for so long, and he has to face so many sword elves.

For her, as long as Cheng Ling is safe and sound, it doesn't matter if she can't get the Kendo Fruit. Why bother working so hard, every time I see Cheng Ling's tired appearance, I feel a pain in my heart, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Zhang Hu stood aside and comforted: "Xiyan, don't worry, the master has gone all the way and how many difficulties he has overcome, he must have his own plans, we have to believe him!"

Xi Yan nodded helplessly and said, "I know, I hope he can get what he wants!"

The two waited for more than an hour, and Cheng Ling finally walked out, looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he had fully recovered.

He said to the two of them, "You wait here, I'll continue to set up the formation!"

After saying that, his figure stretched out and disappeared in front of them.

Coming to the original place again, I first carefully observed the array pillars set up before, and found that several node pillars in the middle of the position were still destroyed, but fortunately, those sword elves had no wisdom, but they were destroyed in the process of chasing Cheng Ling, and the rest of the formation foundation was still intact.

He hid his figure, lying far away on the edge. I kept deducing in my mind, this time I must try to lay down as many pillars as possible, but the last thirty-six are too close to the kendo tree, and many node positions are guarded by powerful sword elves.

In order to distract them from where they are standing, they also need to calculate the direction of attack and dodge. This is not a simple job, his mental power is rapidly consumed, and even his swordsmanship and the direction of dodge are being calculated.

For half an hour, Cheng Ling closed her eyes to relieve the tiredness of her eyes and the consumption of mental power. Half an hour of deduction, it is basically impossible to lay down all the thirty-six array pillars, at most twelve can be laid, plus the three places destroyed in the middle section, it is fifteen nodes.

The reason why it is so difficult is to avoid the kendo tree. There were too many sword spirits around it, so it was necessary to find a way to lure them away, and then set up a formation in front of the kendo tree. The kendo tree is too precious, and if the formation is shrouded in it, it will not be good to destroy the kendo fruit on it.

Observe for a moment, and wait for those sword elves to relax. Cheng Ling suddenly burst out, and the scenery and shadow body method was exerted to the limit, leaving hundreds of afterimages.

A few dodges, breaking through the periphery, came to the middle of the two-handed flick, and instantly re-laid the connected array pillars on the original node. Then, continue to rush in. But before he could unfold, those sword elves came to their senses and fanned around him from the periphery.

Cheng Ling didn't dare to make contact with them at all, dodging the attack of the sword elf, and once again conjured dozens of afterimages, while the real body continued to rush towards the sword path tree.

The afterimage only lasted for a few breaths, but it still confused most of the sword elves, and the sword elves in the middle and periphery all went towards those afterimages, fighting for him for a while. By the time they found out, Cheng Ling had already laid down five pillars in a row at the last node.

The remaining pillars of the formation were even more difficult, the afterimages on the periphery disappeared, and the sword elves next to the kendo tree also surrounded them. Their swordsmanship was even more powerful, and the illusory long sword swing brought a sharp sword aura.

Cheng Ling had to be distracted and dodge, as a result, the speed of hitting the formation pillar slowed down, and the sword essence that surrounded him

There are so many spirits that many nodes are occupied by their figures.

Anxious in his heart, the Pure Yuan Sword in his right hand was raised, and he suddenly struck a powerful blow towards the gap between the two sword elves. It is the sword of the new Shenwu's fusion sword technique "Divine Thunder!", which is launched with all its might, and has never been used after the completion of the enlightenment.

The artistic conception of wind and the artistic conception of thunder fused together, forming a powerful through-tornado, and the tornado was pointing straight forward, and the sword spirits blocking the front were all blown apart, suddenly revealing a gap.

Cheng Ling rushed out towards the gap, and the sword elves chased frantically, so he ran into the distance with those sword elves. After running for a while, he made a big circle back to the kendo tree, continued to attract sword spirits, and ran away again.

After going back and forth like this a few times, the sword elves surrounding the kendo tree were all driven away from their original positions by him, and they just chased after them. In this way, the gap comes out.

The scenery and shadow body method has reached the peak of Dacheng, the speed is strange, and those who can catch up with Cheng Ling's speed are only those sword elves who take the light and fast route, and those behind can't keep up, after a few circles, there are less than fifty more than a thousand sword elves behind them.

Cheng Ling secretly said that Heaven helped me, suddenly changed direction, rushed to the side of the kendo tree, and took the gap to lay down ten more formation pillars, three more than originally calculated. It's just that at this moment, his true yuan is almost consumed, and if he stays behind, he will be caught up sooner or later.

Seeing that the sword elf behind him was getting closer and closer, he hurriedly changed direction and continued to run towards the periphery. He walked those sword elves for most of the day before he threw them away and returned to the temporary cave.

As soon as he returned to the cave mansion, without waiting for Xiyan and Zhang Hu to ask, he said directly: "Help me protect the Fa, I want to continue to restore the true yuan!"

Xiyan glanced at it worriedly, and when he saw the tired look on his face, he felt distressed for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Ling, you are too tired, don't insist so much, it's just that there is no kendo fruit!"

Cheng Ling opened her eyes and said indifferently: "Xiyan, I know your thoughts, in the past, in Fallen Leaf City, because you want to seek justice, you will work hard to cultivate." Now in the Wuxiang Sword Sect, your life is too comfortable, and you gradually don't have the persistence of the year. ”

"But Brother Ling, isn't your revenge avenged, why do you have to work so hard?"

"Yes, my revenge has indeed been avenged, along the way, to the current realm, my strength has gradually strengthened, but the stronger I become, the more I feel small. No, it's not enough, I still have a lot of things to do. ”

"The path of cultivation is a path full of thorns, I don't know where the end is, I just know that I want to make myself stronger. This world is a world of the jungle, and only by standing on the top of all living beings can you maintain the freedom of your mind, and the rules of the world will be made by you. ”

"What kind of world is the world of your dreams, work in that direction, otherwise, you will only become a pawn in the hands of others, and your destiny will be controlled by others, do you understand?"

These words came slowly, and every word clearly came into Xiyan's ears. He hoped that the woman who was injured by her father and insisted on seeking justice would see the essence of the world, and that cultivation was against the sky, full of unknowns and dangers, not flowers raised in a greenhouse.

Such a person, no matter how strong his cultivation is, his achievements will not be great. Because their Dao heart is not firm enough, they have too many worries, and they have too many distracting thoughts. Just

For Xiyan, even Zhang Hu's performance during this period of time has such a problem.

Originally, Zhang Hu was only born in a peasant household, embarked on the road of cultivation, and reached the current state, and his mind was very firm. It's a pity that he, like Song Yingjie, is too well protected and lacks life and death experience. This kind of experience is not something that can be obtained by practicing penance in the sect.

The experience of life and death is like standing on a suspended tightrope, with survival on one side and death on the other. It is by no means something that can be replaced by going into the depths of a certain mountain range, fighting with demon beasts for a few battles, and suffering some minor injuries, he needs to be tempered by his state of mind, and he must have the consciousness of dying at any time.

In such an environment, only after slaying and killing thorns can it be regarded as experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, the Dao heart will be more firm and pure, and the swordsmanship will be more powerful.

Xiyan and Zhang Hu listened to it deafeningly, and every sentence of Cheng Ling implied the true element, like a heavy hammer hitting their minds. Gradually, the eyes of the two began to change, no longer hesitating, as if injected with a shining light, and the mood of both of them improved a lot.

Cheng Ling nodded slowly, the comprehension of the two is still very high, after this instantaneous change, their state of mind can be regarded as keeping up with the rapid progress of cultivation, reaching a balance point, as long as there is another opportunity, they can improve again.

But at the moment, it is still the matter of the Kendo Fruit that is the most important. He closed his eyes, re-entered the cultivation, and began to recover the depleted true yuan and spiritual power.

After another five days, Cheng Ling woke up again. In the past five days, I didn't listen to Xiyan's complaints anymore, I just closed my eyes and cultivated. Zhang Hu is refining the true yuan, and his cultivation has been completely consolidated in the Yuanying Consummation, but according to Cheng Ling's thoughts, he will continue to refine and prepare for the promotion to the gods.

Cheng Ling saw that they were working hard, so he didn't bother. The temporary cave has a hidden formation, and even if there are no two people to protect the law, the sword elves will not be able to find it.

He left the cave and continued towards the kendo tree. The position of the sword elf has changed, and it is necessary to re-deduce, this time, to try to be able to lay down the remaining twenty-one pillars.

After deducing for a long time, he acted again, and this time, he rushed directly to the side of the kendo tree, and the sword elves in the middle and periphery did not notice it. It wasn't until the six pillars of the formation were laid down that they woke up and came towards Cheng Ling again.

Cheng Ling drew the gourd in the same way, and took those sword elves to keep circling in circles, and every time he went around a big circle, he would lay down three or four pillars when he returned to the kendo tree.

It's a pity that in the back, there are more and more sword elves, and they seem to have discovered Cheng Ling's rules, and only those sword elves with strange speed are chasing behind him, and the others are all guarding the sword tree.

In this way, Cheng Ling's difficulty in laying down the array pillars was greatly enhanced, and after a few turns, a total of eighteen array pillars were laid, and the last three array pillars could only be temporarily stopped and returned to the temporary cave to recover because the consumption of true yuan and spiritual power was too great.

Continuously consuming his spiritual power to the point of exhaustion, and recovering it again, his spiritual power has made great progress, not only that, but his cultivation has become more pure on the basis of the consummation of the gods.

The operation of the exercises became more and more proficient, and the last time the true yuan was restored, it only took four days, which was one day less than before, and after this period of application of the body method, the scenery and shadow body method was improved again, reaching the state of perfection.

Cheng Ling came to the periphery of the kendo tree for the fourth time, his eyes were shining, looking at the glowing fruits on the canopy, and said indifferently: "This time, you will definitely be able to complete all the nodes, Kendo fruit, you wait for me!"
