Returning to the Heavenly City, Chang Shan practiced quietly for a period of time, and after the formation masters of the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance arranged the Chongyuan Great Array, he activated the four Martial God Puppets, and then continued to deduce the Earth Attribute Defense Formation.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than 120 years have passed.

In the past 120 years, Zuo Xiangnan, Wan Zijing, Ying'er, and even Chang Xiaoxi have all gone to the secret realm to practice, except for occasional visits to friends, Chang Shan has been to the Martial God Palace where the four Martial God puppets are located a few times, and the rest of the time is concentrating on deducing the formation.

Chang Shan has talent and hard work, and naturally has a lot of gains.

Now, not only can Chang Shan arrange a defensive formation that can resist his attack for more than a stick of incense, but his true yuan has also become thicker because of his deeper understanding of the power of Xuanwu.

After concentrating on studying the earth attribute defense formation for more than 120 years, Chang Shan has also encountered a bottleneck while gaining a lot of gains.

Thinking quietly, Chang Shan has the mind to experience.

Just when Chang Shan was thinking about whether to take the initiative to ask the Sword King for some tasks, the Sword King sent a guard to give him an order, asking him to go to the Sword King's Palace.

Not long after Chang Shan and the guard came out of Tan's mansion, Xiao Changyong chased after him from behind.

After saying hello, Chang Shan asked Xiao Changyong, "Does Brother Xiao know what His Majesty is looking for us?"

Xiao Changyong shook his head and replied: "For more than a hundred years, His Majesty has rarely sent us tasks, and this time I summoned us, I am afraid that there is something important for us to do." ”

"Big deal?"

Chang Shan was stunned for a moment, and asked the palace guard who gave him the order, "This time, Your Majesty called those spirit generals into the palace?"

"Back to the general, Your Majesty should have summoned all the spirit generals. ”

"Summoned all the spirit generals, it looks like there's really something big to do!"

The two walked and chatted, walked to the intersection in front of them, and met Zhang Zhong and Yuan Chen who came from another street.

The four of them gathered together and inquired about each other, but they still didn't know what the Sword Master King had done when he summoned all the spirit generals.

When they arrived at the gate of the Sword King Palace, they met Lu Zhen and Yan Kai again. They didn't ask each other any more, they greeted each other, and entered the Sword King's palace together.

This time, the place where the Sword King saw the spirit generals was not the Sword King Palace, nor his residence, but a courtyard in the Sword King Palace called Listening to the Sword Garden.

Chang Shan had never been to Tingjian Ting, but he had heard of this place, and Tingjian Tingting was the place where the Sword Master taught Kendo.

Everyone entered the main hall of the Sword Court, and saw the Sword Dharma King sitting cross-legged on a futon, with the left Dharma Protector Fu Mingjian and the right Dharma Protector Xu Yuanxing sitting on either side of him.

After everyone had saluted, the Sword Master motioned for everyone to sit on the futon in the hall.

"Does Your Majesty want to pass on our swordsmanship?"

Chang Shan glanced at Xiao Changyong and Zhang Zhong on both sides, and his eyes were lowered, looking ready to listen to the teachings.

After a while, the twenty-four spirit generals under the command of the Sword Master King arrived, and the first words of the Sword Law King made everyone stunned for a moment.

"Except for Changshan, you have followed this king for at least more than two thousand years. ”

Everyone did not understand the deep meaning of the Sword King's words, and no one opened their mouths to answer the Sword King's words.

"Alas!"

The Sword King sighed quietly, and then said: "In Gong, you are the generals elected by this king, and in private, you are the descendants approved by this king. Let you leave the king's side, this king is really a little reluctant. ”

Hearing the words of the Sword Master, the doubts in everyone's hearts became even more. Worried that the Sword Master King would send some "gone forever" mission, all the spirit generals still didn't dare to answer.

"Alas!"

With a faint sigh, the Sword Master King continued: "However, the alliance is mainly to select twelve heavenly generals from among the Qingdan stage cultivators in the whole alliance, in Gong, this king has the responsibility to let you guide you to compete for the quota of those twelve heavenly generals, in private, this king also wants you to have a better future." ”

After hearing the words of the Sword Master, everyone understood why the Sword King had summoned them, but they still had doubts in their hearts.

After all the spirit generals exchanged glances with the spirit generals around them, Yan Kai, who had followed the Sword Master for the longest time, said, "Your Majesty, what will the alliance leader do?"

The Sword Master King swept around the body of the spirit generals, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare for the Heavenly City to stand proudly in Qingzhou!"

All the spirit generals first changed their expressions, revealing a look of excitement.

The strength of the Heterogeneous Alliance is stronger than the three dynasties combined, such a big force cannot appear in Qingzhou openly, and the spirits are somewhat unwilling in their hearts, and they have somewhat imagined that the Heterogeneous Alliance will one day appear on the land of Qingzhou as a monarch of the world.

"When the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance arrives in Qingzhou, after that, the Heterogeneous Cultivator will no longer be an outlier that everyone in the cultivation world shouts and beats. ”

Chang Shan didn't have much ambition in terms of power, but he was also excited at this time.

The spirit generals were excited for a while, and Yan Kai asked again: "Your Majesty, is the heavenly general selected by the alliance leader the commander of the army of the Heterogeneous Alliance to fight the world?"

The Sword Master King shook his head and said in a deep voice: "How to let the Heterogeneous Alliance occupy the entire Qingzhou, the alliance leader has his own arrangements, don't guess, now let's continue to talk about the selection of generals!"

When the spirits heard this, they gathered the excitement on their faces and made the appearance of listening to the teachings again.

"This time, the alliance leader will elect generals, and all the Qingdan stage cultivators in Heavenly City will participate. Whether it was those casual cultivators or the alliance leader palace, there were many Qingdan stage cultivators with extraordinary strength. Even if you show all your strength, there is little chance that you can be selected as a heavenly general. ”

Hearing the words of the Sword Master, the faces of the spirit generals were a little unnatural, but they all knew that the Sword Master was telling the truth. Among the twenty-six Qingdan Stage cultivators present, it would be good to have one or two of them compete for the position of Heavenly General.

"Whether you think you have the strength to compete for the position of the general, or you don't have the strength to fight for the position of the general, when the competition starts in a month, you will show the strongest strength. Showing your strongest strength and concentrating on fighting dozens of battles with cultivators of the same level, even if you don't fight for the position of Heavenly General in the end, it will be of great benefit to you. ”

After the Sword Master said this, Chibazi answered and asked, "Your Majesty, after the alliance leader chooses the heavenly generals, will Your Majesty choose how many spirit generals?"

"Yes!"

In this way, the subordinates are relieved. ”

Among Dan Xiu, Instrument Cultivation, and Array Cultivation, generally speaking, in the case of the same level, the strength of Instrument Cultivation is the strongest, followed by Formation Cultivation, and Dan Cultivation is the weakest.

Among the twenty-four spirit generals under the command of the Sword Master, Chibazi's strength ranked last, even if he only selected twelve heavenly generals among the twenty-four of them, Chibazi had no chance to become a heavenly general. He asked the Sword Master if he would choose a spirit general, first, he was really worried about his future, and the other was to show loyalty to the Sword King.

The spirit generals present are all shrewd people, Qianye Zi has just finished expressing his loyalty, and Lu Nanzi, another spirit general with low cultivation strength, said loyally: "Since Your Majesty will still choose spirit generals, then your subordinates will not participate in the selection of heavenly generals." ”

Just now, the Sword Dharma King also said that the alliance leader asked all the cultivators of the Qingdan stage cultivation in the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance to participate in the selection of heavenly generals, but now Lu Nanzi said that he would not participate in the selection of heavenly generals.

The Sword Master King didn't think it was angry, nodded to Lu Nanzi with a light smile, swept around the faces of the spirits, and said in a deep voice: "The alliance leader has a good eye, if any of you don't show all your strength, the alliance leader will definitely be able to see it." The alliance leader does not like hypocrites, and when you can win, don't pretend to lose. ”

After a slight pause, the Sword Master King fixed his gaze on Chang Shan, and then said: "When you are fighting, you have to show your strongest strength, but you also try not to use secret methods that are too easy to accidentally injure people's lives, after all, although there are more than 2,000 Qingdan Stage cultivators in the Heterogeneous Cultivation Alliance, there are not much more than any of the three major dynasties. ”

Chang Shan didn't answer, but bowed to the Sword King, indicating that he received his order.

The Sword Master King took his eyes off Chang Shan and talked about the situation of the Qingdan Stage cultivators in the Alliance Lord's Palace and those in the Scattered Cultivation who had the strength to compete for the position of Heavenly General.

After spending more than an hour talking about the situation of the Alliance Lord's Palace and those cultivators who had the strength to compete for the position of Heavenly General in the scattered cultivation, the Sword Master King said a few more theoretical words and words of encouragement about the competition, and then let everyone retreat.

The spirits had their own thoughts and thought about what the Sword Master had said before, and when they left the Sword King's Palace, they didn't communicate much with each other.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when he was about to walk to Tan's mansion, Xiao Changyong, who was still walking with Chang Shan, said: "Brother Chang, come and sit with me!"

"Hmm!"

Chang Shan nodded, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and walked towards Xiao Mansion with a smile with Xiao Changyong.

When he arrived at Xiao Mansion, Xiao Changyong took some spirit fruits and wine, drank wine with Chang Shan for a while, and suddenly sighed and said, "Brother Chang, are we friends?"

Chang Shan was stunned for a moment, nodded, and replied, "Of course we are friends!"

Xiao Changyong nodded, raised his wine glass and saluted Chang Shan, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and said in a deep voice: "Since they are friends, then, Xiao Mou will say it directly if he has something to say." On another day, if Xiao unfortunately dies in an accident or dies in a catastrophe, please ask Brother Chang to take care of Zicheng. ”

A look of astonishment appeared on Chang Shan's face, and he looked at Xiao Changyong and said, "Good and dignified, how can Brother Xiao say such a thing like a lonely?"

Xiao Changyong glanced at Chang Shan, stared at the wine glass in his hand and sighed: "Xiao is still a little confident in his own strength, but Xiao knows that Xiao definitely does not have the ability to become one of the twelve heavenly generals." Although Xiao didn't dare, he also understood that Xiao was just a weak person with those cultivators who had the ability to compete for the twelve heavenly generals. ”

Hearing Xiao Changyong's words, Chang Shan understood why Xiao Changyong said those words like Tuogu.

The matter of selecting generals made Xiao Changyong compare his strength with other cultivators, and the results of the comparison made Xiao Changyong a little unconfident, and he was confused about the future for a while, so he said the same thing as Tuogu.

"The competition hasn't started yet, how can Brother Xiao know that he must not be able to do it?"

"Xiao is self-aware!"

Chang Shan just wanted to persuade him again, Xiao Changyong's eyes flashed, and then said: "Although Xiao knows that he doesn't have the strength to become one of the twelve heavenly generals, he will try his best to play a higher ranking." When fighting, if you and I meet, don't keep your hands, I want to know how much better you are than me. ”

"Keep your hand, Chang is not afraid of losing, right?"

Chang Shan replied with a smile, picked up the wine jug and poured Xiao Changyong full of wine.
