I don't know how long it has been, but there have been several cycles of day and night outside.

Suddenly, a clear and cheerful laughter pierced through the passage of the cave and reached the crouching male and female unicorns.

Zhang Zongsi slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a look of relief and joy in his eyes, which was fleeting.

At this moment, in Sima Yuan's 'Purple Palace' cave, a golden talisman is suspended in the air, and at the same time, a ruler of Qingbi remnant sword is happily surrounding, like a wanderer returning home and a childish child around his knees to invite pets.

The sword intent inside the talisman seemed to be a little impatient, and with a soft groan, the jumping and spinning figure of the fairy sword stopped abruptly, and stood motionless in the air.

In the cave, Sima Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his face showed joy and excitement, and it took a long time to regain his calm.

At this moment, his spirit was still dozens of times better than before, he stood up solemnly, and thanked him in a deep voice,

"Thank you for the grace of the ancestors."

As soon as the words fell, an incomparable majestic consciousness suddenly came, as if the weight of a thousand jun pressed Sima Yuan's thin body to a click, as if there was a sound of broken bones and dislocation.

Sima Yuan looked startled, but he didn't dare to move, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

The banging sound kept ringing out, and it came into Sima Yuan's mind, and his face immediately changed greatly.

The spirit that was full collapsed, and the breath was like falling into the abyss, and the tall and proud body seemed to have been drained of its spirit and spirit all of a sudden, and it became sluggish and weak.

Sima Yuan fell into the realm, and he was directly descended from the ninth layer of qi refining 'Spirit Sea Realm' to the second layer of qi refining 'Qi Inhalation Realm'.

Years of hard work have all come to naught, and there is nothing left.

Even the second layer of Qi refining at this moment is crumbling, and the fall is imminent.

He looked incredulous, his voice was hoarse, and he said astringently, "Master, what does this mean?"

The shadow snorted coldly, as if he didn't bother to answer, and even more so too lazy to explain.

Only left a cold word, "In the future, you will retreat here, improve your cultivation, comprehend the 'sword talisman', and if the sword qi does not come out, don't go out and be embarrassed." ”

At the male and female stone unicorns, Zhang Zongsi seemed to hear the instructions, and immediately bowed down, and walked outside the cave without looking back.

Sima Yuan was dumbfounded, and he was at a loss.

His face showed a cloudy and uncertain color, incomprehension, unwillingness, and even resentment, as if a bad aura was spreading, and his whole body was on guard, as if he was facing a great enemy.

After he silently comprehended the suspended talisman of the 'Purple Palace Acupoint' in his body, his face seemed to show thoughtfulness.

Suddenly, he comprehended in his heart, sincerely thanked him, and said respectfully, "Disciple understands, thank you for the teachings of the ancestors."

If you don't break it, you don't stand it, and then you stand after it's broken!

He must be recast and cultivated, and he must be scattered and restarted!

Then Sima Yuan was like sitting in dry meditation, silent and enlightened the sword.

There is no sun and moon in the cave, and it has been a thousand years in the world.

After Sima Yuan retreated to Qilin Cliff, several major events occurred in the Zixiao Sect, such as the new establishment of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion in Zixiao Peak, which has jurisdiction over the Spirit Sword Tower, the Imperial Sword Hall and the Sword Refining Division, so as to defend Zixiao Peak and fulfill the responsibility of guarding the emperor.

Ordered Zixiao Peak Elder Liang Rui to temporarily take the position of Deputy Pavilion Master of the Holy Sword, assist Zhao Mengjing, the master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, to supervise the affairs of the Sword Pavilion, and ordered the head of the sect to personally pass on Li Daoxuan to take charge of the Deputy Hall of the Imperial Sword Hall.

On the day the edict was issued, the Spirit Array Peak took the lead in proposing to set up the Spirit Array Pavilion on the main peak, and took the position of the pavilion master by himself, and in the following days, the Immortal Fu Peak, the Divine Pill Peak, the Treasure Peak and other peaks followed suit one after another.

This move undoubtedly set off a storm in the sect, especially the Sword Cliff and Sword Pool Holy Land, which were subordinate to Sword Peak in the past, were all occupied by the disciples of the main peak.

And when the rest of the peaks were watching the play, Cao Qiji, the peak master of the original god Danfeng, voluntarily sent out to guard the Lingxu Courtyard of the southwest side of the sect, but this proposal was temporarily rejected by the head of the sect, thinking that the sect had refined the spirit pill of 2,000 as a general to make up for it; At the same time, Pei Yunxiao, the former master of the Zijin Academy, was degraded as the deacon of the Lingjian Building, as a punishment, and officially promoted Yuan Chengmo, the new true heir of the Zixiao faction, to the master of the Zijin Academy.

Sima Yuan silently held the talisman to understand, and Zhang Zonghei on his side whispered about the changes in the sect in the past few months.

He raised his eyes and looked at the master in the center of the Lower Cave Mansion, and seeing that he had no disgust, after pondering for a while, he asked, "I don't know how my Sword Peak coped with it?"

Zhang Zongsi's eyes drooped slightly, "Master Zun didn't have any edict handed down, but a few days ago, the third senior sister of the Sword Pavilion was promoted to take charge of the Sword Qi Tower, and let Senior Sister Shen assist, and the elder brother assisted Shendan Peak Luo Dao to sit in the Spirit Sword Tower. ”

After glancing at Sima Yuan, he said softly, "That head also proposed that you be in charge of the Imperial Sword Hall temporarily, and that Liu Meng, the deputy hall master of the Sword Refining Room, be moved to the deputy director of the Sword Refining Division of Zixiao Peak to assist the main peak in sword refining. ”

However, this proposal was not fully accepted by the master, and only sent Liu Meng, the sword refiner, to the main peak sword refining division. ”

Sima Yuan first frowned and pondered, and then Huo Ran raised his head to look at Zhang Zonghe's gaze as if he was puzzled, unwilling and surprised,

"Senior brother, the one in the Sword Pavilion is going to use the Heavenly Sword Pavilion set up by the main peak as a place for the two sides to fight?"

Zhang Zongsi waved his hand, "How Deputy Pavilion Master Xu is planning, Senior Brother can't know. ”

Sima Yuan frowned and said, "The main peak controls the position of the main and deputy pavilion masters of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and the power is in his hands, even if my Sword Peak can see the needles in the Spirit Sword Tower, the Imperial Sword Hall and the Sword Refining Division, this is not beneficial to the overall situation, and that person will not fail to see this." Could it be that there is something else in it?"

Zhang Zongsi looked directly at Sima Yuan and said, "No matter how the situation changes outside, junior brother, your top priority is to improve your strength." ”

Sima Yuan looked stunned, and then nodded silently, if he didn't have the strength to build a foundation, no matter how much he worried, it would be unfounded.

Besides, the sky is falling, and there are tall people on top of it.

He glanced at the hanging shadow and said softly, "Now that I am temporarily trapped here, I can't get rid of it for a while, but Senior Brother Lao has solved my doubts for my junior brother." ”

After Zhang Zongsi bowed towards the suspended existence above the cave mansion, he walked out, "Senior brother still has miscellaneous matters, so I won't accompany my junior brother." ”

Sima Yuan thanked him, "Senior brother walks slowly, and I can't send it far." ”

Zhang Zongsi waved his hand without looking back.

Sima Yuan looked at his distant back thoughtfully, the relationship between the two of the Sword Pavilion and the head of the main peak seemed to be quite delicate.

Suspected of 'wanting to refuse or welcome'?

Sima Yuan pondered for a while, but he couldn't understand it, shook his head and then retracted his thoughts.

He looked at himself inwardly, and now it has been more than a year since he obtained the 'Sword Talisman' that day.

During this period, Zhang Zonghei came several times, and passed on the current situation and changes of the sect to Sima Yuan like this.

The head of the family said that Li Daoxuan was talented and intelligent, and he took the lead in entering the foundation building realm after only more than six years of entering the Tao, and he was shocked by Zixiao for a while, and everyone admired the eyes of the head like a torch and the pearl of wisdom.

As for Sima Yuan and the others, they have long been left behind.

In the following years, Sima Yuan was completely immersed in the perception of the 'sword talisman'.

As for cultivation, he was temporarily stabilized in the second layer of qi refining inhalation realm, not only did he not have the slightest intention of promotion, but once he found any signs of breaking the mirror, he was suppressed by him, and the strength of such suppression was even more ruthless than when he was in Shendan Peak.

Sima Yuan silently comprehended the sword, and the second layer of the "Zixiao Sword Technique" in his mind appeared one by one, and after he took a deep breath, he drove the sword yuan in his body that had begun to take shape to drive his body to dance and jump in the cave, at first meandering forward like a spiritual snake, and then his body shook like a fish playing in the water, and then he moved and swirled like a flying swallow falcon, and his elegant and chic figure left dozens of afterimages in the cave, and the swift and flashing floating shadows flashed away like light, dazzling and dizzying.

A few months later, Sima Yuan stepped into the realm of the second layer of the "Zixiao Sword Technique".

In just two years later, he bravely climbed to the realm and reached the realm of the third layer of the "Zixiao Sword Technique"!

Inside the cave mansion, Sima Yuan took a deep breath and said softly, "Ask the immortals, get out of the sheath!"

As soon as the words fell, a blue and blue remnant sword appeared in front of him.

The remnant sword was no more than a foot, but Sima Yuan did not have the slightest dislike, feeling the ignorant urging on the Ask Immortal Sword, he smiled loudly, jumped slightly, and landed steadily on the Immortal Remnant Sword half a foot from the ground.

He reached out and pointed forward, and spat out two words, "Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the remnant sword trembled with joy, and a sound of breaking the air sounded, and the huge cave mansion was instantly split in two by this sweeping light.

Sima Yuan rode against the wind, and in a moment of deflection and movement, he passed through several long chains, reaching the central hinterland, and after a week of encircling the silent shadow, he landed steadily on the back of the shadow.

Sima Yuan put away the remnant sword, smiled slightly, and bowed to the ancestor.

After a while, after Sima Yuan became familiar with the flying of the imperial sword, he returned to the place where he was cross-legged and studied the exercises again.

In the past two years, he has practiced the flying sword to the third layer, and even cultivated the ethereal method to the third layer of the realm of a square circle!

Sima Yuan raised his head, his eyes moved slightly, there seemed to be complexity and gratitude in his eyes, and there was a trace of vigilance and uneasiness in vain.

In the past two years, under the guidance of the master who only heard his voice and did not see him, Sima Yuan not only improved his practice to a higher level, but also refined most of the sword qi he had given him.

The strength is not the same as when he entered the cave, and he secretly thought that if he fought against Huang Zhen and Zhang Han and the like now, he could subdue them in three or two rounds.

If he sacrificed the Immortal Sword again, after Sima Yuan carefully calculated the strength of the two sides, his heart was immediately shocked, and he muttered softly,

"One move?"

In the cave, a pleasant chuckle sounded, as if the bitterness was exhausted, and the emperor lived up to the satisfaction of the heart.

Another year later.

Sima Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged, closed his eyes tightly and opened them, his eyes seemed to be filled with sword intent, and when his mind moved lightly, the sword qi around him swirled and flew, enveloping his whole body.

His expression was flat, he stretched out his right hand, flicked his fingertips, and suddenly a gaze of sword light swept by, slashing towards the nearest chain outside the passage.

Boom.

A subtle crack came into view.

Immediately, on the chain, the formation came quietly, and instantly hit the sword light.

The sword light exploded with a bang, turning into dots of white-bladed light, scattering and falling.

Sima Yuan was not annoyed, but extremely satisfied.

You must know that these thick chains that lock the waist of the ancestor in front of you can't even help the existence of the foundation.

And now he can cut a slight crack with a random blow, which undoubtedly shows that Sima Yuan's sword qi attack and killing power can already be compared to the existence of Zhuji, and even if he is surprised, he can also reap miraculous results.

Sima Yuan's eyes showed excitement, and he muttered to himself, "Before you enter the foundation, you can kill the foundation." ”

He had a big smile on his face, "What about Zhuji, who can stop me?"

On the same day, Sima Yuan's cultivation was exhausted, and then he reached the peak of qi refining, the Linghai Realm!

-------

At the edge of the passage, Sima Yuan was bidding farewell to the existence of a hanging shadow.

He leaned down and bowed, "Master, the disciple has already refined the 'Sword Talisman', and the sword intent and sword qi in it have been absorbed, and his own sword qi has been condensed. ”

"The disciple respects the ancestor for giving the sword and giving the sword!"

When the words fell, the shadow did not respond, Sima Yuan did not care, and still bowed and saluted.

Suddenly, the old man's words did not sound in the cave, but a light message appeared in Sima Yuan's mind,

"If you don't enter the foundation next time, you won't be able to come again!"

Sima Yuan nodded seriously, "The disciple will definitely live up to the high expectations of the master." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a great force came, and after a whirlwind, he returned to the closed gate.

With a bang, the stone gate slammed shut, and a ripple of formation ripples rippled by, and the wide stone gate disappeared, turning into a damp and dark cave wall.

Sima Yuan's expression was in a trance, and after a slight sigh, he turned around and left.

Half an hour later, on the Qilin Cliff, two figures stood silently.

Sima Yuan silently looked at the abyss at the bottom of the cliff, his mind was complicated, he turned his head to look at Zhang Zongsi on his side, and was about to thank him, when a cold word came from his ear,

"The matter of the ancestor, don't leak the slightest thing to others, otherwise, thousands of people from you and I Sword Peak will die without a place to bury!"

Sima Yuan nodded, "Senior brother don't worry, senior brother knows the seriousness of this matter." ”

Zhang Zonghei shook his head, and after leaving a sentence, he quickly flashed and flew away,

"Five years later, my Zixiao Sect will have a new deputy peak in the world, and the sect will hold a great competition of peaks, and then you can compete for the position of the first peak master!"

When these words fell, Sima Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately pressed the excitement in his heart, and slightly bowed his hand to his fleeing back.

His eyes were complicated, and he muttered to himself, "The first peak master?"

"No wonder the hand-shaking master wanted me to step into the foundation within ten years, and that's why. ”

Sima Yuan secretly thought, it seems that he can start to build the foundation.

He touched the two storage pockets around his waist and crotch, and the ancient mirror, the Heavenly Sword and Fang Cai's mysterious 'Sword Talisman' were all inside.

Looking into the distance, it seems to cross the peaks and mountains and reach a certain proud peak.

Sima Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and that was where his opportunity to build the foundation was.
