Volume 2 Ancient Sword Chapter 7 Broken Sword
The four of them looked at the snake ancestor returning to his hometown, and they didn't know whether they were happy or worried about him. Looking back at the situation of the four people, it is completely sad and joyful.
Under the current circumstances, the situation faced by the four of them was so bad that even the Snake Ancestor did not expect it, let alone enter the hall designated by the Snake Ancestor under the best circumstances.
Not to mention the internal fighting of the Divine Fox Sect mentioned in the mouth of the Snake Ancestor, just by listening to the name of this place, you will know that this place was once one of the territories of a powerful force in the sect. It was only because of the complete defeat of this force that this kind of place was completely deserted, and the place that could give birth to the spiritual materials of heaven and earth was artificially destroyed, and the spiritual veins were exhausted. In the long years, the Heavenly Wolf Valley has been unscrupulously destructive, so that it has now become such a barren valley with no spiritual vitality at all, and it is all lifeless and gloomy.
The four of them walked on the avenue of the valley, looking at the dilapidated environment, and couldn't help but sigh. When I saw the houses built in a circle, I was surprised again. Because in such an environment, the houses are still intact, they are still arranged in an orderly manner.
Dongmen Yu said: "It's okay, otherwise, there would be no place to live!"
"Don't move!" Yue Chen admonished, "These houses can still be kept in such good condition, and no one has ever destroyed them, which means that there must be something strange in them." From now on, none of us can enter within 10 feet of the house without permission. Within three months of the snake ancestor's appearance, we had to build our own temporary hut to shelter from the wind and rain!"
"Oops! The Snake Ancestor said that he was not allowed to go near those three holes, and he didn't say anything else. Dongmen Yu said unconvinced, "Big brother, you are too cautious." Now, all four of us have Taoism in our bodies, and it is difficult to find opponents in martial arts, so what are we afraid of? Why don't I go in and have a look?"
"Hmph, you're really heartless, have you forgotten how we got here so quickly?" Yue Chen reproached helplessly, "Xiaoyu, you just talked about Taoism. I think that in the next few days, I will still be alone to lead the task, and the three of you will cultivate with peace of mind until the Snake Ancestor comes out and directs us to act. ”
Ximen Xue said: "Big brother, why don't you cultivate with peace of mind?"
"I'm different from you!" Yue Chen said, "In this place where the aura of heaven and earth is extremely thin, I can barely cultivate. But you are different, you are cultivating the secret method of the Divine Fox Sect, and you have a completely different sense of the heaven and earth breath of Qingqiu Continent. Therefore, you can still cultivate according to the law!"
At this time, Yue Chen had slowly realized that the Divine Fox Sect's talent and spiritual root test should only be useful for those who were born and raised in Qingqiu Continent. In the past, which mountain patrol disciple used the mysterious small green beads to test the talent spiritual roots of the three people, and finally came to the conclusion of waste, there must be a reason for him.
However, this may be explainable for the rain and snow, but for Yue Chen, it is not easy to explain. Yue Chen was able to enter one of the most powerful sects in Hongzhou, the Chengming Sect, and was the inheritor of the Fu Gong Sect personally selected by Hao Jing Zhenren, which was not only not fishing in troubled waters and indiscriminately filling the numbers, but also had a great tendency to transcend the ordinary.
Yes, although Yue Chen still didn't know what was going on with the spiritual root tested by the Divine Fox Sect, he had at least guessed a few points. What's more, judging from the Dao Essence of the Rain, Snow, and Waves, their cultivation was indeed not affected by the aura of heaven and earth. Or, at least at this stage, there will be no impact in any way. In other words, the aura of heaven and earth that they could sense was something that Yue Chen could not detect. But if it is really affected, the snake ancestor will also mention some of it.
And Yue Chen is different. Since coming to the Divine Fox Sect, for the sake of prudence, Yue Chen did not dare to use lapis lazuli or Shenluo beads, because he was afraid that this kind of aura of heaven and earth treasures would be discovered by the Divine Fox Sect. If he hadn't been forced to the point where he had no way out, he wouldn't have given Dragon Immortal Tea and Jiuyang Dragon Marrow to Nangong Lang. It's just that, judging from this matter, it is obvious that Yue Chen is too cautious. But even so, Yue Chen did not relax his vigilance at all. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, and you can't try to make other possible situations happen because of this phenomenon.
Although the mystical method passed down by Chengming Sect and the mystical mystical method on the mysterious Xuantie Skin cannot continue to be cultivated due to spiritual energy, fortunately, there are still mystical methods passed down by the teacher that can be cultivated normally. In this situation where only cultivators passed on the mystical method, Yue Chen had already noticed another subtle change in himself, that is, a thin layer of spiritual power began to spread from the center of his eyebrows, gradually spreading throughout his body. However, it is still only swimming in a small area of the forehead.
On the same day, the four of them temporarily built four thatched huts, and after a toss, the sky was already dark. After each person has served Bigu Dan, they return to their respective huts.
Yue Chen looked at his Bigu Pill, which was less than thirty, and couldn't help but start to get anxious in his heart. Fortunately, when he went down the mountain, he carried all his alchemy with him. Next, it is to complete the task and find a way to exchange it for refining the spiritual materials of Bigu Dan. Therefore, Yue Chen suddenly felt that the night had not yet begun, but it was already so long.
Time passed little by little, and the canopy of night had already fallen. In this long-abandoned Heavenly Wolf Valley, it looks even more terrifying. Rao is Yue Chen, and in this unfamiliar environment, it is difficult to relax his cultivation. Every movement outside the hut sounded so clear. The gust of night wind blew, more like the wailing of many unjust souls, infinitely repeating the tragedy.
During the night, there was a violent tremor in the valley. Dongmen Yu and Ximen Xue shouted, and soon, they squeezed into Yue Chen's thatched hut with Nangong Lang. The three of them looked at Yue Chen, who was meditating quietly, and couldn't help but look at each other. After a while, the tremor became more violent, and the surrounding peaks began to shake. But Yue Chen remained silent and sat quietly.
Dongmen Yu stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Yue Chen's eyes, and said, "Big brother, you won't be stupid, right?"
Yue Chen shook his head slightly, motioning for the three of them to sit next to him and keep quiet. Nangong Lang didn't react, he just sat calmly on the ground, and the other two muttered for a while, and sat down very reluctantly, and their nervous expressions became more and more serious.
"Don't be nervous, relax!" Yue Chen instructed, "This vibration is coming from those three caves!"
Dongmen Yu almost shouted, but suddenly covered his mouth again and gestured with his hand for a while. Yue Chen nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "Such a big movement should alarm the inner gate of the Divine Fox Sect." Therefore, we must keep our mouths shut and not disclose any information. We can only wait and see what happens!"
Ximen Xue said: "When can we go out and have a look!"
"Wait until someone calls us, or wait for the people who came to check it out!"
After Yue Chen finished speaking, the three of them also quieted down. This sudden change, the four of them are also powerless, and no one can predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse.
In the Heavenly Wolf Valley, the violent tremors continued, and the entire valley seemed to be raised suddenly, and some areas were almost torn apart. Faintly, it seemed that there was a huge monster slowly circling and wandering in the valley, and everywhere it passed, it was the trend of landslides and earth cracks.
Yue Chen used his divine sense to detect that this shaking momentum did not spread outward, but only gathered within the range of the Heavenly Wolf Valley. Based on this, the geographical scope of the Heavenly Wolf Valley is not particularly large, probably only about fifty zhang in radius. And the sound coming from the three secret caves was swimming towards the houses not far from the huts.
"What kind of monster is it, so huge, it can shake the earth every time it moves!"
Sure enough, when the giant monster that swam stopped at the place of those houses, the Celestial Wolf Valley began to calm down again, and the trembling earth rested with its aftermath. A strange and powerful aura gradually spread, pressing the four of them a little breathless. Especially when this aura pressed on Yue Chen, Yue Chen also produced a strong resistance to remove the persecution of this breath.
Suddenly, a deep voice came from outside: "Come out!"
Dongmen Yu snorted softly: "Who is he? I haven't heard this voice!"
Yue Chen just shook his head slightly, couldn't help but reach out and stroke the golden black sword on his back, and took the lead in standing up and walking out. The other three didn't dare to slack off, so they stood up and followed closely behind.
The four of them looked through the faint starlight, and there was an extra mountain in the house for no reason, and the mountain was black, as if there were patches of scales fluctuating. In front of the thatched hut stood an old man with gray hair, more than eight feet in length, broad shoulders and a round waist, with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the "mountain" in front of him.
The four of them looked at each other, and Yue Chen said respectfully: "The juniors disturb the seniors' Qing Xiu, please calm the seniors' anger!"
"Well, the old man underestimated the Divine Fox Sect for nearly a thousand years, but he underestimated you even more! It's not easy, it's really not easy!"
Yue Chen hurriedly said: "Could it be that the predecessor is the predecessor of the Snake Ancestor?"
"If it's not me, who else can there be?" said the snake ancestor in a harmonious voice, "You must remember that you must not say a word about tonight's events. Don't worry, tonight's movement was sealed in the Heavenly Wolf Valley by the old man, and it won't attract the attention of the thirteen old things. ”
After a pause, the Snake Ancestor continued, "From now on, our original plan will have to be reversed. First of all, I will spend three days teaching you a god-level sword mastery, second, I will teach you the supernatural powers so that I can use them, and finally, I will teach you the belonging of your organization. Now, we don't seek more, we don't seek speed, we only seek stability. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the outer gate of the Divine Fox Sect, the most important thing is to be attached to a certain hall, and the decisive factor in attaching to the hall is personal strength. ”
After a while, there was a slight silence, and he stretched out his hand and beckoned to the mountain. The mountain moved and slowly became smaller. In an instant, such a huge black mountain turned into a small earthworm and disappeared into the Baihui acupoint of the snake ancestor. The four of them understood that the mountain was a huge and incomparable black snake without eyes. The backs of the four of them couldn't help but feel cold.
Where the Eyeless Black Serpent disappeared, all the houses were crushed to pieces. I saw that the eyes of the snake ancestor were shining, and a pair of vertical pupils were reflected in the sky, and after the light scanned the ruins, four swords rose from some corner. And these four swords are all broken swords, and all of them are only connected to the hilt. The fractures were all the same neat, as if they had been polished by a swordsmith.
In a few moments, these four broken swords flew upside down into the hands of the snake ancestor. The four of them didn't see how the snake ancestor moved, but they felt that in the blink of an eye, they had entered a darkness. In less than a breath, he entered a bright and brilliant cave again. This cave is a single room, the space is about nine zhang square, there is no decoration, only in the center there is a nine-foot long and wide black antique stone plate.
The snake ancestor's body rose in the air, and slowly sat down in the stone plate, looking at the four people with sharp eyes. Yan said: "Among the four of you, three of them are from Hongzhou in the Hongmeng Continent, so they don't have the spiritual root of heaven and earth in Qingqiu Continent, and the only one from Qingqiu Continent is fragile and chaotic. The most important thing in cultivating the god-level mystical method is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, and this spiritual root is divided into seven types: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoxue, with the help of the old man's elixir, already have the foundation of the golden spirit root and the fire spirit root respectively, but this is far from enough, and they still need a lot of spirit pills to help before they can succeed.
As for Nangong Lang, the old man didn't know what was going on for a while, but he had a first glimpse of the mystery of the "Heavenly Wolf God of War Curse", and overcame the obstacle of physical disability. It can be seen that he is also a malleable talent.
Yue Chen is cautious and not weak. Now it seems that the old man really underestimated you. As a human being, you will definitely not go behind your back to learn the mystical methods of other sects, and it doesn't hurt.
The old man then taught you the peerless supernatural powers, which were only related to the Dao cultivation that you could have, and were only related to these four primeval swords.
These four primeval swords are the Death Sword Green Dragon, the Fierce Sword Emperor Scar, the Sword Robbery Sky Shadow, and the Sword Destroying Earth Phoenix. It's really because of them that they have caused the cruel infighting of the Divine Fox Sect for nearly a hundred years, and now, they have become forgotten scrap iron and rotten copper. Do you know why?"
"Because there is a better divine weapon than this!" Dongmen Yu replied, "Moreover, these are four broken swords, who wants them!"
"Hehe, hehe, among the four of you, in terms of cultivation talent, you are indeed the highest. But you're only half right. Snake Ancestor said, "In the battle that day, the sky cracked and the earth collapsed. The vitality of the Divine Fox Sect was greatly damaged. At that most fatal juncture, two powerful forces from outside Qingqiu Continent suddenly entered the 'Divine Fox Mountain'. After a fierce battle, the Divine Fox Sect kept its foundation, but most of the Supreme Elders were all killed. The four divine swords were also broken in two, half of them were left in the Heavenly Wolf Valley, and the other half was missing since that battle.
Subsequently, the three pillars of Qingqiu Continent met and decided to unite the forces of the three factions to track down where these two forces entered the territory of Qingqiu Continent. Unexpectedly, this is another extinction disaster.
Alas, the past is unbearable!"
The Snake Ancestor suddenly stopped speaking, fell into deep contemplation, and said slowly for a long time: "It's not too late to tell you about these old things in the future." Nowadays, the Divine Fox Sect looks loose on the outside, but the internal inspection is definitely tighter. Thinking about it, which thirteen surviving old things are presiding, even if the strength of the Divine Fox Sect is not as good as before, it will not be worse there. ”
"With such a powerful sect elder, why don't you take back these four divine swords?" Yue Chen interrupted, "Could it be that these thirteen seniors don't know about this?"
"Of course I do, but I am the only one left who will drive these four divine swords after that battle. In addition, which thirteen pedantic and incorrigible stinky guys completely treated these divine soldiers as evil creatures, strictly sealed the matter, and then deliberately placed a ban in the Heavenly Wolf Valley, so that all the disciples of the sect cut off any false thoughts. That's what you see. ”
When the snake ancestor talked about the past, he had a sense of interest, waved his hand lightly, placed the four swords in front of the four people, and said decisively: "Everything starts with these four broken swords!"
