Episode 1284: When the Storm Rises
After the Fairy Sword Conference, a short period of peace was ushered in, Hua Qiangu followed Bai Zihua to the Hall of Despair, Shuofeng and Ni Mantian followed Luo Eleven to practice in the Hall of Greed, and Jiang Chen cultivated in the Dan Pavilion.
There is no time for cultivating immortals, and in a blink of an eye, it is five years.
During this period, Jiang Chen has been staying in the back mountain where the Dan Pavilion is located, he has been staying in the realm of creation, this is a rare opportunity, with the state of immortality, he can fully comprehend the mystery of life and death.
Creation and destruction, the two extreme forces, constantly intersected in his body, giving rise to various visions, and also allowing him to comprehend the deeper Heavenly Skill of Creation.
However, even if Jiang Chen can't go into retreat, his reputation is still passed on in the Six Realms, he is known as the first genius of the fairy world, more than the Baizi painting of the year, everyone thinks that within a hundred years, he will fly to the immortal and become a peerless powerhouse of the first class in heaven and earth.
Jiang Chen was also working in this direction, but just when he was retreating and cultivating, preparing to soar to the immortal in one fell swoop, a major event happened in the immortal world.
The scarlet pupils of the flowing fire killed Qianmo's subordinate generals, and the undefeated people in the Spring and Autumn Period threatened to lead the demon alliance army on the fifteenth day of the next month to attack all factions in the fairy world.
All of a sudden, all the sects were moved, and Changliu was naturally no exception, not only Luo Eleven's disciples who had already become immortals, but even new initiation disciples such as Jiang Chen, Shuofeng, Hua Qiangu, and Ni Mantian were also summoned to the council hall.
Bai Zihua, Mo Yan, and Sheng Xiaomo were in the middle, and when they saw all the disciples gathered, they said indifferently: "The guardian sect of the artifact has been exposed in turn, and the Spring and Autumn Period is undefeated, and he threatens to lead the demon alliance to take it on the fifteenth day of the next month, but at the same time, he gave the four major factions that are very far away from each other all give battle posts, but he doesn't know what is real and false. But with their strength, it was absolutely impossible to attack the four major sects at the same time. It is estimated. He deliberately did this, he wanted to disperse the support of the various immortal factions, and then lead the army to concentrate on attacking one or two. The four factions are far apart. Even if you travel thousands of miles a day, it is difficult to catch up with the rescue. Although your cultivation is not said to have reached the pinnacle, you have been able to take charge of it on your own. This time, leading other disciples out of the mountain to resist demons is also regarded as an experience!"
The head of the house gave an order, and everyone did not allow it, and they all responded to the voice.
Among the group, not to mention the eleventh and other elder disciples, they have already ascended to the fairyland, Jiang Chen has participated in the enlightenment and creation, and his skills are profound, and he has caught up with the immortals, but Shuofeng, Ni Mantian, Hua Qiangu and others are not bad.
Shuofeng as a fragment of the "Yanshui Jade" in the Ten Directions Artifact, the qualifications are amazing, in six or seven years, it has reached the peak of the Creation Realm, and it is only half a step away from soaring into an immortal.
Although the neon sky is not as dazzling as the wind, it has also been cultivated to the realm of creation.
As for Hua Qiangu, he really deserves to be the last god in the world, and he is worthy of the title of the son of fate.
I have to say that as the first major sect in the fairy world, today's Changliu Mountain can be described as full of talents, but many of these talents are from various major sects, so when the factions are in trouble, Changliu naturally can't sit idly by, and even send more than 100 elite disciples, divided into four batches, and rush to four directions.
Four groups of disciples rushed to Shu Mountain in the extreme southwest, Tianshan Mountain in the extreme northwest, Changbai Mountain in the extreme northeast, and Taibai Mountain in the center.
Taibai Mountain is located in the center of the triangle formed by the three mountains of Shu Mountain, Tianshan Mountain and Changbai Mountain, with this as the center, radiating to Tianshan Mountain, Changbai Mountain and Shu Mountain, and the geographical location is extremely important.
Therefore, the Immortal Realm poured the largest number of troops into Taibai Mountain, so that reinforcements could quickly reach the various factions.
In addition to more than ten new disciples such as Kai Jiang Chen, Shuo Feng, Ni Mantian, and Hua Qiangu, there were also ten Spirit Immortal Realm masters led by Luo Shiyi, and rushed to Taibai Mountain in the center of the starry night.
Originally, if they had traveled during the day and rested at night according to the speed of the slowest person in their ranks, it would have taken ten days at most to fly from Changliu Mountain to Taibai Mountain in the east of the East China Sea. But now there is still more than a month to go before August 15, and the group set off first. The main reason is that most of them are too young, and although they have learned a lot, they have almost no experience in facing the enemy.
Many people almost never set foot outside the mountain gate after they start cultivating, let alone actually face demons.
Therefore, Shizun Moyan deliberately let Luo Eleven lead everyone for a month, and after crossing the sea to the land, he gave up the sword and walked to Taibai Mountain, observing the world all the way, expanding his knowledge, killing demons and demons, and accumulating a little survival experience.
In this regard, Jiang Chen also agreed very much, these rookies really have to sharpen and sharpen themselves, otherwise, they have too little experience, and fighting with the masters of the Demon Second Realm is just asking for their own death.
There are thousands of flowers and bones, the fragrance is fragrant, and it coincides with the 14th of July, the ghost door is wide open, demons and monsters are rampant, and the training of the disciples is very sufficient.
Along the way, all kinds of demons and beasts went crazy and generally faced Jiang Chen and his party, constantly impacting, and they were one after another, and they couldn't finish killing no matter how they killed.
Jiang Chen, Luo Shiyi and the others did not make a move very tacitly, and watched Hua Qiangu and others kill demons. At the beginning, they were still trembling and difficult to deal with, but with the experience again and again, everyone made rapid progress, not to mention the growth of cultivation and the enhancement of supernatural powers, the key is the experience of facing the enemy, which is very rare.
In this way, in the continuous grinding, the group came to a country called "Xishu", the emperor of this country, named Meng Xuanlang, was a long-term disciple, and everyone is very familiar with it.
Meng Xuanlang was originally the prince of Western Shu, but he had no intention of power, but went to Changliu to seek immortal learning, but on the eve of the Immortal Sword Conference, the Shu State mutinied, and he had to leave Changliu, return to the Shu capital, get involved in the palace mutiny, and finally became the emperor of Shu.
At the beginning, when Meng Xuanlang was staying for a long time to seek the Tao, he had a very good relationship with Shuofeng, Ni Mantian, Hua Qiangu, Qingshui, Luo Shiyi and others, and he was the least familiar with Jiang Chen, just because Jiang Chen was dedicated to cultivating, except for the host Hua Qiangu, he rarely interacted with the disciples in the sect, so he naturally couldn't get acquainted with it.
With the emperor of Xishu as a friend, everyone is naturally served with delicious food and drink, but Jiang Chen's eyes are shining, because he is worried about the heirloom sword of Xishu, the sword of compassion.
The Compassion Sword is one of the ten great artifacts of ancient times, representing "death" and "parting", and killing to stop killing. The Sword of Compassion is actually the most cruel sword. If you see blood, you will die, and you must not kill it. Its mercy simply lies in the fact that those who die under the sword will not suffer in the slightest.
It's a pity that because this sword is in a sealed state, even Meng Xuanlang, who holds it, doesn't know that it is the legendary artifact Compassion Sword.
However, he didn't know, but Jiang Chen knew it clearly.
With the improvement of cultivation and the gradual recovery of his memory, Jiang Chen's understanding of this world was gradually increasing, and now, since he knew that the Sword of Compassion was in front of him, how could he be indifferent?
That night, he quietly touched Meng Xuanlang's room and exchanged a fairy sword made of pure gold for the Minsheng sword.
Although Jiang Chen has not yet ascended to immortality, with his cultivation, the immortal sword he created is not an ordinary mortal, the power is powerful, compared to the sealed Compassion Sword, it is more than ten grades higher, in addition, his change of sword has connected the immortal sword with Meng Xuanlang's breath, and in the state of the integration of human and sword, even if Meng Xuanlang's cultivation is insufficient, he can also rely on the power of the immortal sword to match the ordinary immortal god.
When the sword arrived, there was an accident, he did not put this artifact into the ruins, but put it in his own body for time, and used the two qi of heaven and earth to kill the seal on the sword.
The ruin tripod is unique to the cultivators in this world, and it refers to the space where the cultivators can store things and use them to collect their treasures.
In fact, it is an innate part of the human body, which coexists with the physical body, and according to specific exercises, after cultivating the Tao, it has the ability to open and store treasures.
The ruin tripod itself will not change, but whether it is a person or an artifact, it will become very small after entering the ruin, which is like entering an infinite space compared to the ruin, so the ruin can hold a lot of things.
But in this world, the study of the ruins is very deep, if the sword of mercy is placed in the ruins, it will inevitably not be discovered, so Jiang Chen will include it in the inner world, it is the world that belongs to Jiang Chen, not to mention the immortals of this world, even if it is a saint in the great world of the desolation, it is difficult to detect.
It's just that although he is cautious, he seems to have been a little too cautious, because, from beginning to end, Meng Xuanlang didn't find out that the Minsheng Sword had been dropped.
After all, no matter what, he is also the emperor of a country, with a sword hanging from his waist, which has more symbolic meaning, where he will casually draw the sword out of the sheath, and naturally he will not feel the abnormality of the sword.
After resting for a few days, everyone left the capital and continued to Taibai Mountain.
Along the way, Jiang Chen was distracted and used the Xuanhuang Qi of Heaven and Earth to wipe out the seal on the Sword of Compassion, because of the mystery of the Xuanhuang Qi of Heaven and Earth, although it had not yet been fully solved, a small part of it had also been unlocked.
"With the artifact in hand, this feeling of having power is really ....... Not bad!"
Jiang Chen's face was full of smiles, he could sense that the power of this ancient artifact was really not to be underestimated, and with a sword in his hand, he was even enough to compete with peerless powerhouses like Bai Zihua and Killing Qianmo.
At night, when it was getting late, everyone set up camp beside a mountain forest as usual, either hunting for water, or collecting firewood and making fires, each with their own tasks.
Hua Qiangu picked mushrooms for a long time, and sat under the tree to rest when he was tired.
"Little Bone, what are you doing in a daze?"
When Jiang Chen came back from hunting, he threw a wild boar he had hunted to the other disciples to take care of, and when he saw that Hua Qiangu seemed to be thoughtful, he stepped forward by himself.
This little girl, after six or seven years, her small body is still the same as that of twelve or thirteen years old, she has not developed much, but her face is becoming more and more delicate, and she can squeeze out water when she pinches it gently.
Over the years, she has studied with Bai Zihua's apprenticeship, not only has her mana cultivation become more and more profound, but also her thin and petite body has also been made up, white and tender, which makes people feel distressed at a glance.
"I'm thinking Master, if I'm not here, he will definitely not eat, in fact, it is better to eat more and be more popular. If you don't have good food, you're half the fun. ”
Seeing Jiang Chen coming over, Hua Qiangu hurriedly raised his head and smiled.
When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head, eldest sister, you don't do the business of cultivating immortals, and you always want to fall in love with your master, it's too unprofessional!
At this time, I saw Sugar Treasure coming out of Hua Qiangu's ears, and interjected: "If I don't sleep in my life, then there will be no fun." ”
Jiang Chen stretched out one hand and took Sugar Bao in his hand, and with a movement of the other hand, a small straw hat condensed and took to Sugar Baby's head, and said with a smile: "Ha, don't you still have a bone mother?
"Not really!"
Sugar Baby pursed her mouth and said, "I love Bone Mom the most!"
"I love you too. ”
Hua Qiangu couldn't help but touch Sugar Treasure with her fingers, tickling it, causing Sugar Treasure to laugh more than once, and she herself laughed happily.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
But they didn't want to, they were laughing here, but Ni Mantian next to him was a little apprehensive, and couldn't help but say, "Senior Brother Jiang, we can get to Taibai Mountain in a few days, right?"
Unlike Hua Qiangu, Ni Mantian, who is already nineteen years old, has already fully developed, and his appearance is becoming more and more delicate, and he is often fascinated by the male disciples who stay for a long time. Since she was defeated by Jiang Chen at the Fairy Sword Conference, her thoughts about Jiang Chen have become more and more complicated, and later, she couldn't help but feel a faint feeling.
In the past five years, although she has rarely dealt with Jiang Chen, every time she meets, she can feel that Jiang Chen's cultivation has become more and more unfathomable, and the momentum and majesty of that body have gradually fascinated her. Therefore, seeing Jiang Chen talking and laughing with Hua Qiangu, she was a little uncomfortable.
"It's coming!"
Jiang Chen responded indifferently, his eyes moved, and a pair of eyes seemed to have divine light shining out, which could see through everything in the world.
"Senior Brother Jiang, what have you discovered?"
Luo Eleven walked over, and at this time, he was frowning, carefully observing around: "I always feel that something is going to happen?"
"Definitely. ”
Jiang Chen smiled indifferently and said: "If I were a member of the Seven Killing Sect, I would definitely set up an ambush for the long-term disciples who supported the various sects. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Luo Shiyi nodded first, and when he reacted, he was immediately taken aback, and said in surprise: "Senior Brother Jiang, do you mean that the Seven Killings will send someone to intercept and kill us?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Our immortal realm has support, so they will intercept and kill halfway, in the final analysis, we still have to see the truth under our hands." "Anyway, he has a new artifact, and he hasn't tried it yet!
Luo Eleven didn't dare to be careless, and passed down the order, so that all the disciples could concentrate on prevention, and sure enough, not long after, the world changed instantaneously, and in the roar, the killing intent was permeated.........
