......

In the past two years, when all the Holy Land students were busy to the point of exhaustion in order to rebuild the Holy Land, they would raise their heads to look at the magnificent monument, and with just one glance, it seemed that the physical and mental exhaustion would be replaced by a warm blood, and they would regain their infinite strength and stand up again. Especially when they saw the two words on the monument, which were bigger than any name, they all showed a trace of gratitude and worship from the bottom of their hearts.

Ou Chuyang. This name, which is no more ordinary in the outside world, has a reputation comparable to that of the rising sun in the holy land at this time. If it is said that it is Ou Da's kindness that Xuyang came in time to rescue all the people in the Holy Land from the mouth of the spirit beast, then Ou Chuyang sacrificed himself in order to preserve the entire Holy Land, save the Great Array, reshape the vitality pool, and let all the students continue to stay here to cultivate and grow, and it is even more admired and grateful to these Holy Land students who have become obsessed with martial arts. After all, Ou Chuyang used his life to win more growth opportunities for them, saving a lot of time in the long and endless cultivation journey. Therefore, when people see the word Ou Chuyang, they all look at it with the most reverence, and mourn deeply for these two words in their hearts for a while, in order to express their sorrow in their hearts.

Under the monument of the holy land, a woman in white stood in front of the monument, raised her head slightly, looked at the two words on the monument with silver eyes, and couldn't help but sob.

"Ou Chuyang, are you still alive?"

This woman is Dongfang Xue, beside her, Xiao Ling'er sighed, looked at her friend in front of her, and didn't know what to say.

She didn't know how many times Dongfang Xue had cried for Ou Chuyang in the past two years, but he knew that every day, Dongfang Xue would come to the monument, stop and watch, and look at it for half a day.

Although she was muttering to herself, Dongfang Xue knew that if a person was buried deep in the ground for two years, it was impossible for him to survive for so long unless he was a martial god-level figure. Even if she was unwilling to accept the fact that Ou Chuyang had left from beginning to end, Dongfang Xue also understood that her persuasion in the bottom of her heart was becoming more and more pale. With the passage of time, this ironclad fact, even if you don't believe it, you can't do it.

"Cher. Don't be too sad, I believe that if Ou Chuyang knew, he wouldn't want you to be so sad for him. Xiao Ling'er, who has never spoken much, has changed a lot in the past two years. Of course, this is only limited to Dongfang Xue alone, she doesn't want her friend to be so deep all the time. After all, behind Dongfang Xue, not only Ou Chuyang, but also the family, responsibilities, everything has to be completed by her.

Seeing that Dongfang Xueou was silent, Xiao Ling'er sighed and said: "A few days ago, the family sent someone to send a message in, and now the world is in chaos outside, and the Gongsun family and the Tao family of the eight major families were pulled up overnight by an unknown force, and the two major families, thousands of people, were slaughtered and there was no way to live. As for the other six, they were all attacked. ”

Tilting her head slightly, Dongfang Xue still had no expression on her face, Xiao Ling'er continued: "The Ou family in Xiaodang Mountain has also suffered a surprise attack by a force, but the person who attacked the surprise did not expect that there are two major martial arts figures in Xiaodang Mountain, the weakest of the eight families, so the Ou family escaped a catastrophe, but even so, the Ou family has suffered heavy losses, and now they can only hold on to Xiaodang Mountain and stay at home." Fortunately, the Feiyun Empire was good to the Xiaodang Mountain family and sent an army to guard the mountain. to prevent another attack by foreign enemies. ”

Hearing Xiao Ling'er mention Xiaodang Mountain, Dongfang Xue's sad expression that had always remained unchanged eased, and she turned her head and said: "I know about this, and someone from the family has also sent a letter, ordering me to go back quickly, it seems that this time the power of Ou Ming is aimed at the Eight Great Families." But why is the Luo family okay?" Speaking of this, a trace of resentment flashed in Dongfang Xue's eyes.

Taking Dongfang Xue's change in mood in mind, Xiao Ling'er smiled miserably: "Is it okay?, the Luo family has secretly transferred everyone in the family out before that, speaking of which, this Luo family is really not simple, the transfer of thousands of family members can actually do it without even a little noise from the outside world, it's amazing." ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Xue was shocked.

As if Dongfang Xue was not shocked enough, Xiao Ling'er slowed down and said: "Do you know? Although the strength of the four major families of Luo, Ou, Gongsun, and Tao is not strong among the eight major families, after all, they belong to the Feiyun Empire, and if something happens to the four major families, King Feiyun naturally can't ignore it. The Tao family couldn't be rescued, all of them were destroyed, Xiaodangshan Ou's family was fine, as for the Luo family, people went to the empty building, and when the army was searching, they found a demented teenager in a wheelchair in a secret room, and that person was Luo Minghai. The real Luo Minghai. ”

"The real Luo Minghai?" Dongfang Xue asked in disbelief.

Xiao Ling'er nodded and continued: "So I guess that this attack on the Eight Great Families is not simple, maybe this Luo family has a lot to do with this incident." ”

After listening to this, Dongfang Xue also nodded, it is true that she is equally clear about what Xiao Ling'er said, except for the real Luo Minghai, but as soon as she heard Xiao Ling'er mention that this incident was related to the Luo family, Dongfang Xue's hatred for the Luo family deepened.

Staring at Dongfang Xue, Xiao Ling'er sighed and suddenly asked, "Have you decided?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Xue woke up from her contemplation, thought about it, and finally looked at the Holy Land Monument, and said softly: "Tomorrow, it's useless to stay, I'm going to go back and have a look at the family." ”

Xiao Ling'er nodded and said, "I'll leave tonight, I hope there will be a chance to meet in the future." ”

After Xiao Ling'er finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards her residence. At this time, Dongfang Xue suddenly called out to her and asked, "By the way, how is Jie'er?" In the past two years, it seems that we have had a lot less interaction. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er stopped, and sighed without looking back: "She has been locked in the vitality pool since the incident two years ago, and has never come out, what is happening now, I don't know, but every time I go to her place to look for her at night, I can always hear crying coming out." I think... , alas, forget it, don't mention it. ”

Looking at Xiao Ling'er's departing back, savoring the words of the former before leaving, Dongfang Xue was stunned on the spot.

The next morning, before the sun had risen, Dongfang Xue left the Holy Land, and the night before that, she had not slept all night. The evening before, she went to look for Xu Jie'er once, and when she was about to knock on the door, as Xiao Ling'er said, there was a sad sobbing sound from inside. After raising her hand for a long time, Dongfang Xue finally didn't have the courage to fall, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't know what to say after seeing this friend, so she gave up saying goodbye to Xu Jie'er. Then Dongfang Xue came to the monument of the holy land again and stood for a whole night, it was early summer, but that night was as cold as water.

Dongfang Xue left, before that, Xiao Ling'er also left, Huang Lang did not follow, although the relationship between the two has developed very well in the past two years, but Huang Lang still can't let go of Ou Chuyang, even if everyone says that Ou Chuyang has passed away and will not come back, but Huang Lang just doesn't believe it, so he stays and waits for his brother.

As for Xu Jie'er, she continued to cultivate. While everyone else was steadily improving their strength, Xu Jie'er's cultivation speed was faster than anyone else, and it was terrifyingly fast, in two years, she had improved from a junior martial arts student to a sixth-level martial artist to the realm of a seventh-level martial artist. Don't look at the fact that he didn't cross the barrier of the martial artist, but you need to know that the way to cultivation becomes, the more difficult it becomes, and ordinary people will be promoted to one and a half levels within a year, but Xu Jie'er is soaring wildly at the speed of three levels every year.

The departure of Dongfang Xue and the others did not cause much commotion, after all, everyone can only stay in the Holy Land for five years, just like a student of the Holy Land who has graduated from school, the departure of Dongfang Xue and the others is no different from usual, but at this time, there is a change in the underground under the Vitality Lake.

Dozens of meters deep underground, pitch black, no one can see anything here, the intertwined roots of the tree are much thicker than before, and there are many more, just in the center of the roots, a complete crystal nucleus is emitting a faint green light. This bit of green light is extremely dim, and it does not play any role in illuminating the underground space where there is no finger in sight.

However, the darkness only lasted for a moment, and when a low cry came from the dark underground space, the underground space suddenly lit up.

All around, colorful crystals began to shine like lights, and with the sparkle of these crystals, in the center of the underground, a naked young man sat in the center of these crystals like an old tree, surrounded by crystals, and the youth seemed to be a fossil condensed thousands of years ago, motionless.

Quietly crossing his knees, breathing extremely slowly, the young man was like a man on the verge of death, without the slightest bit of life.

Suddenly, a green light lit up in the young man's chest, and then, dozens of crystals around the young man began to rotate wildly around the young man. Suddenly feeling a change, the young man who looked like a dead man opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly two rays of light erupted from the young man's eyes.

His hands were slowly raised, and then he quickly formed a cultivation handprint on his chest, and the incomparably pure purple internal qi in his body was also running wildly at the same time.

Perhaps it was affected by the young man's internal qi, the little green light on the young man's chest began to desperately escape, surrounded by the surrounding crystals, and the young man could feel that no matter how the pure internal qi in his body chased the green on his chest, he would always be narrowly escaped by that bit of green, until, there was no place to escape, and that little green jumped violently to the meridians that the youth had so far reached.

At that time, the green light was shining, but the young man shouted happily, and a strange and triumphant evil smile appeared on his face.

"Little thing, it's been so long, and I'm still playing like this, but it's okay, with you, maybe I can open up all the meridians in my body. ”

The young man under the ground is Ou Chuyang, who has been buried deep for two years. In the past two years, Ou Chuyang has been maintaining the operation of the small five elements derivative array, even if the students outside the saint are still cultivating in the vitality pool, thinking that this huge lake with the effect of forging the body has been stabilized, but they don't know that it is, in fact, this big array is still on the verge of dangerous collapse, of course, for this situation, Ou Chuyang can't understand it anymore, so in the past two years, he didn't dare to go out. He was afraid, he was afraid that the big array would eventually be unsustainable, and without the king array by his side, he would not be able to solve this crisis at all, so Ou Chuyang had been using his internal qi and soul power to maintain it.

Of course, in the past two years, Ou Chuyang has not maintained the big array all day, he found that this small five elements derivative array will stop operating every once in a while, and at that time, he must drive the operation of the small five elements derivative array himself, as for the future, Ou Chuyang can completely spare time to cultivate. It's just that what makes him extremely depressed is that every time he cultivates and feels that his internal qi has increased a little, this small Five Elements Derivative Array will stop, and as a last resort, Ou Chuyang has to spend a lot of energy to make up for it, one increase and one supplement, and after the cycle, for more than two years, Ou Chuyang's realm has not improved by half a point, which makes Ou Chuyang very angry.

However, what made Ou Chuyang feel relieved was that he had one more thing to do in addition to cultivating, that is, refining the Origin Wood Spirit, but this little thing was simply too smart, for two years in his body, Ou Chuyang wanted to lead him to the dantian countless times to refine it, but he couldn't even touch the edge, and he was angry, Ou Chuyang and the Origin Wood Spirit got together.

Didn't you let me refine it? I had to get you here and keep it for myself.

After that, Ou Chuyang didn't stop for a moment, as long as he was able to run autonomously for the Great Array, Ou Chuyang put all his energy on the Origin Wood Spirit. And the previous scene was that Ou Chuyang didn't know how many times he drove the Little Five Elements Derivative Array to run autonomously, and when it was over, he immediately refined the Origin Wood Spirit.

During the refining process, Ou Chuyang discovered an interesting thing, that is, the little thing of the Origin Wood Spirit always wanted to escape the pursuit of his internal qi, but he could always find a meridian where his internal qi could not reach, and that was the place where Ou Chuyang did not pass through. This discovery made Ou Chuyang overjoyed, it is true that these meridians could not be opened by themselves, but with the Origin Wood Spirit, many places were surprisingly penetrated by it, saving Ou Chuyang a lot of effort.

Since then, Ou Chuyang is no longer in a hurry to refine the Origin Wood Spirit, but like a joke, forcing the Origin Wood Spirit to flee towards the meridians that have not been passed, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer unopened meridians in Ou Chuyang's body, and there are fewer and fewer places where the Origin Wood Spirit can escape.

Boom~ is another undeveloped meridian, which was forcibly opened by the Origin Wood Spirit, every moment, Ou Chuyang no longer cares about the Origin Wood Spirit, but quickly uses internal qi to replenish this part of the meridian. With the opening of each meridian, Ou Chuyang felt the growth of his physical strength, although the internal qi did not enter the realm, but the former made Ou Chuyang happy.
