Compared to Ye Chen, the old man seemed much more relaxed, but shivered slightly. After all, his cultivation was profound, far from being comparable to Ye Chen.

Seeing that Ye Chen stopped, the old man turned over and came to him. "Why did you stop? This is about to reach the top, but you can't retreat at this time!"

Ye Chen glanced at him when he heard this, and said, "Don't stand and say that you don't have back pain, your cultivation is so high, naturally I don't understand how I feel now." It's freezing cold. ”

"It's coming soon, it's just the last shudder, you won't be able to get up!" the old man said encouragingly.

"Who said I couldn't go up? This treasure is right in front of me, how can I not take it? Look at it! I'm going to make up my mind about this baby. ”

Ye Chen looked at the top of the mountain not far away, gritted his teeth and jumped up.

In this short last section of the mountain, Ye Chen spent a full hour to go up. As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, he lay down tired, and no matter how much the old man pushed him, he would not get up.

"You kid, get up, this hasn't arrived yet, what are you resting for?" the old man pushed Ye Chen and said.

"Rest for a while, no, I don't have any energy at all. Ye Chen replied weakly.

The old man looked at him when he heard this, stopped pushing him, and let him rest in peace. He stood beside him and waited.

After recovering a little strength, Ye Chen got up again. He knew that the priority was to take out the sword, even if he wanted to rest, it was not now, not here.

Led by the old man, they entered a cave, which was not large, and after a few steps they came to the center of the cave.

"Now, the sword I'm talking about is there, you can pull it out, if it comes out, it's yours, if you can't pull it out, we'll go back." The old man pointed to a round platform in the center of the cave.

Ye Chen looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a sword with a silver glow inserted into the round platform, and the sword body was not half inside, leaving only a small section of the sword body and hilt exposed.

"That's it? What's so hard about this? I thought I needed to find it!"

Ye Chen smiled and went up to the round platform and circled around the sword twice.

"Hehe, don't be too happy, this sword was left by the first generation of the head of my Sword Valley, and it has been thousands of years now. The disciples of Sword Valley have tried it in the past generations, but none of them have been able to pull it out. I thought I was like you back then, I thought I would pick it up casually, but in the end I was disappointed and left. ”

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but point to the sword and laughed: "Hehe, are you teasing me? No one has ever picked up this sword for thousands of years?"

"Believe it or not, this sword is an immortal creature called the Ice Demon. Naturally, we ordinary people can't pull it out. According to legend, this sword was cast by the Yellow Emperor and is the same root as the Xuanyuan sword. The reason why my Sword Valley is called Sword Valley is because this sword is here. ”

"Good boy, it's so big! I've got to take a good look and try to pull it out. ”

Ye Chen's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, he thought that this was a slightly better sword. But he didn't think it was a divine weapon like Xuanyuan Sword.

He didn't know about the Ice Demon, but he had heard of the Xuanyuan Sword. That's the peerless divine soldier who defeated the demon god Chiyou! No one in the world knows who doesn't know. Even the Huangkou children in the market have heard of the legend of the Xuanyuan Sword.

After learning that the origin of this sword was so big, Ye Chen became cautious. He didn't have to think about it to know that he only had this chance, and if he missed this time, he wouldn't want to try again in his life.

He slowly circled around the sword, staring intently at the hilt.

The old man watched him silently from under the round platform. For Ye Chen, he didn't think she would be able to pick it out. The reason why he was brought here was because this was the rule of Sword Valley, and disciples of all generations had to come and try it once. The second is to tell him the origin of this sword, so that he can pass it on in the future.

Ye Chen kept staring at the sword, and unconsciously lost his mind. This sword seemed to have magical power, making the true qi in Ye Chen's body tumble involuntarily, and consciously wander through the muscles and veins of his body.

The more Ye Chen looked at this sword, the more pleasing it became, and across the round platform, Ye Chen even saw the whole sword body for a moment. However, this feeling passed in a flash, and after a while, Ye Chen came back to his senses and found that his true qi was not under his control, and he had a desire to rush out of his body. And the ice demon inserted on the round platform, as if he had been summoned by something, actually moved.

The old man below also stared at Ye Chen's eyes after seeing Ye Chen's strange behavior, and his heart also hung up. He had clearly seen the sword move just now. This is something that no one has ever encountered before.

The old man, who noticed the strange movement, muttered in his heart, "Could it be that this kid is the one the Ice Demon is waiting for?

Just as the old man remembered what his master had said at the beginning, Ye Chen had already grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and he didn't know what to do with his eyes closed.

"...... Start"

With Ye Chen's loud roar, the round platform suddenly exploded with a "bang". The old man couldn't believe what he saw, and kept blinking his eyes, thinking that it was his hallucination.

After Ye Chen took out the Ice Demon and held it in his right hand, he clearly felt a vast stream of true qi flowing into his body from the sword. is constantly impacting his dantian. And his dantian did not reject this true qi, and was frantically absorbing it, but this true qi was too vast, which made Ye Chen's dantian painful for a while.

Ye Chen closed his eyes and endured the severe pain, waiting for the dantian to contain all this true qi.

The old man saw a trace of pain in Ye Chen's expression, and hurriedly dodged to his side.

"What's wrong?

"No, there is a powerful true qi in this sword, which is constantly submerging into my dantian. I feel like my dantian is about to burst. Ye Chen replied painfully.

The old man narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "It doesn't make sense! Everyone's true qi will repel each other. Even if the first generation of the head of this sect is an immortal, and his true qi is extremely pure, it won't be absorbed by you so easily?"

Ye Chen's expression was distorted, and he opened his eyes and glanced at the old man in great pain, "Don't guess, whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's already in my dantian." Everything is left to fate. ”

Hearing this, the old man slapped Ye Chen's head fiercely, "What are you talking about, stinky boy, how can it be a disaster? This is the true anger of the first generation of the head of this sect, could it be that he will harm his own junior disciples?"

"But it's a bit unbelievable that you can absorb his true qi. But I believe that this will definitely not be a disaster, the ancestors are immortals, maybe the true qi he left in the sword is used to help future generations become immortals. Today you pulled out the Ice Demon, which means that you are very likely to have a fairy fate!"

"Immortal fate, I only seek revenge, not to become an immortal. Besides, what is the use of imposing on the ethereal thing, if I can get great revenge, I am satisfied. Ye Chen replied with a cold gaze.

The old man shook his head when he heard this, he knew that he couldn't persuade Ye Chen, so he didn't bother to speak.

"Now that the Ice Demon has been pulled out, there's no need for me to stay here. But you have to stay here, it's frozen all year round, and it's a great place to retreat and improve your internal strength. You have just absorbed such a vast amount of true qi, you have to calm down and fuse. ”

The old man walked towards the entrance of the cave without looking back at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen wanted to follow him back, but from time to time there was a sharp pain in the dantian, which made him unbearable, and he couldn't take a step at all.

Now he had absorbed the vast amount of true qi, and after these true qi entered his dantian, he began to wander around his limbs, resisting the cold qi around him, preventing it from invading his body.

Eventually, he stuck the Ice Demon on the ground and sat down in place to meditate, slowly merging with this true qi.

After a few days of fusion, this True Qi was no different from the True Qi in his body. He wanted to go back down the mountain, but remembered the old man's words and dismissed the idea.

It's extremely bitter cold here, so as not to freeze to death. The true qi in the body travels around the limbs all the time, resisting the cold around them. One day of cultivation in such an environment is better than three days under the mountain.

His swordsmanship is already superb enough, and the only deficiency is the lack of internal strength. And now that he has absorbed this true qi, he is already enough to match the world's first-class masters, even compared with people like the old man, the gap is not very big.

In order to take revenge, he must ensure that his strength is strong enough, at least stronger than someone like Lin Zhentian, so that he can take revenge. And Ye Chen knows very well that his current strength is now, although it can be described as coming in by leaps and bounds, he knows that compared with old rivers and lakes like Lin Zhentian, he is still a little behind.

He meditated quietly in the ice cave as if he was in a meditation lake, while running his true qi to ward off the cold. While continuing to realize his own kendo.

From the moment he absorbed that True Qi, Ye Chen felt that his swordsmanship seemed to be faster and more violent. At the same time, it can be as soft as water, and it can be all-encompassing.

In this way, Ye Chenwu practiced sword for a month, practiced sword for another month, and a year passed unconsciously.

Some time before his retreat, the old man was afraid that he would not be used to Bigu, so he came up every few days to bring him a meal. In the end, the old man didn't even come once a month, and even if he did, he only checked how much his cultivation had improved, and if he was in a good mood, he could bring him a jar or two of wine.
