Xu Chen let go of his arm and nodded to her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Duanmu Rong shook his head and calmly left his arm.

There are countless fallen leaves on the ground outside the woods, and they are a little soft to step on, I don't know how many years they have accumulated to accumulate so thick, but the wonderful thing is that there is no smell of corruption.

Although this forest is a broad-leaved forest, after all, it has just seen the light of day, and the green leaves between the tips are tender and tender, unable to cover the starry snowflakes leaking from the side of the snow cliff, and it is like a starry green.

The two walked into the green forest and disappeared without a trace in a moment.

Walking into the green forest, gradually moving away from the snow cliffs, there are no more snowflakes leaking from the world outside the mountain, but the sky above the valley is still gray, and the stars and greenery in the forest are lined together, which is even more bleak.

I don't know if it's because of the pressure brought by the Covenant of Breaking the Realm, or because of Chen Lujie, Xu Chen was very quiet after entering the forest, not as active as before at all, just walking silently.

Duanmu Rong was also very silent, looking at his back, thinking about the previous conversations between the snow cliffs, thinking about the little maid who made Xu Chen go against his original intention to protect him, thinking about the gamble that was not bloody but extremely cruel, he was gloomy and worried for a while, stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest silently, and he didn't make any sound.

From the top of the snow cliff, this verdant valley is not big, but when you really come to it, you find that this valley does not look magnanimous, but it is far-reaching, and the two of them have not reached the end of the valley after walking wordlessly in the forest for half a day.

This place is far enough away from the snow cliff that he is no longer worried about being heard or chased by Chen Lujie, Duanmu Rong looked at Xu Chen's back, and finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Why didn't you fight before?"

Xu Chen stopped, looked back at her and asked, "Why do you want to fight?"

Duanmu Rong looked into his eyes and said seriously: "When you taught me to fight in the carriage, you once said that when two tigers meet, the most important thing to remember is ...... The brave wins. ”

Xu Chen was silent for a moment and then replied: "In front of Chen Lujie, I can't talk about a tiger yet. ”

Duanmu Rong glanced at the brocade bag hanging on his wrist and said, "With the source talisman in hand, a child can become a tiger." ”

Xu Chen shook his head and said: "The master has spent too much effort to write a rune that can also be used, and I can't abuse it as an apprentice, and you and I are both people in the rune, it should be very clear that this kind of excitation talisman is not made by itself, and it is difficult for the talisman master to send out the real talisman in the meantime, and I am not sure that I will hurt Chen Lujie with this talisman." ”

Duanmu Rong raised his little face slightly, looked at him and said seriously: "And me." ”

Xu Chen said sincerely: "Thank you, but after all, this is a matter between me and Chen Lujie, there is no reason for you to take risks, not to mention that you came here under the edict of the Divine Army, it is impossible for me to let you turn against the Divine Army for me." ”

He looked at the cliff that he vaguely saw outside the Qinglin and said, "The purpose of our entry into the mountain is for the Heavenly Book, and in the end, I will still face Chen Lujie head-on." He wanted to push me into a desperate situation where I couldn't retreat, and I also had the same idea, and it would be good for the rest of the world to get rid of him in advance. ”

Duanmu Rongmo frowned slightly, and said, "Where is Chen Lujie such an easy person to solve." ”

Xu Chen said: "In the past, it was naturally difficult to solve, but now that there is a covenant to break the realm, the situation is completely different, as long as I can break through the realm before him, then he will be solved." ”

He spoke slowly, in a calm tone, as if he was saying something for granted.

Duanmu Rong looked at him, and suddenly found that he never seemed to have thought that he would lose this bet, nor did he think that even if he won the bet, what would happen if the other party repented? If he really wanted to self-destruct and leave the Divine Army, the oath made in the name of Haotian might not be really binding.

She asked, "What if you lose this bet?"

Xu Chen replied simply: "I won't lose." ”

Duanmu Rong asked without hesitation: "If." ”

Xu Chen was slightly stunned and said: "If you lose, then you lose, I have to go through a lot of hardships to get my senses, will I really be stupid enough to fulfill the gambling contract and then turn myself into a waster?"

Duanmu Rong couldn't believe his ears and asked, "What about Master Lu Yin's reputation?"

"If I really choose to make myself a waste and leave the academy pitifully after losing the bet, he will probably be very angry, angry at how he took in such a stupid student. ”

Duanmu Rong still didn't understand this sentence.

Xu Chen explained: "The meaning of this sentence is that Master Lu Yin doesn't care much about his reputation. ”

"What if Chen Lujie cheats after losing to you?"

"If I advance to the Five Realms, I can't help him not fulfill his contract. ”

"It's not so easy to cross the border. If you advance to the Five Realms, you are not more than a Fang to the lower grade, how can you cross the two realms and win? No matter how good you are at fighting, the gap between the realms is still too big. ”

Xu Chen looked at her and suddenly asked very seriously: "What will happen if the realm breaker is suddenly disturbed by the outside world at the most critical moment of breaking the realm?"

Duanmu Rong didn't know why he cared about this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It depends on what kind of interference from the outside world is." ”

Xu Chen said: "The most direct and strong one. ”

Duanmu Rong said: "That realm breaker will suffer a violent backlash, and it is even possible that there is no hope of breaking the realm in this life. ”

Xu Chen nodded and said, "This is the best." ”

Then the two fell silent again.

It seemed that he was walking silently and aimlessly, but in fact, Xu Chen had been following a certain direction, and that powerful and proud aura was like a light between heaven and earth, guiding him through the verdant green forest, through a swamp, and then through a muddy and rugged damp foggy mountain road, and before coming to a lake.

The area of the lake is not large, the radius is not more than a hundred zhang, the shore of the lake is meandering, the water waves are light, and I don't know how many years it has existed in this strange valley, and there is no trace of artificial carving.

The valley is warmer than the snowy peaks of the Heavenly Abandoned Mountains outside, but it is actually still a little cold, and it is more like winter in the capital, and the water on the shore of the lake is covered with extremely thin blocks of ice, which are scattered by the waves, and gradually condense on the calmer water surface in the distance.

It seems that there are no artificial traces, it is a natural lake in the valley, but Xu Chen does not think so, because the familiar and close powerful aura comes from the depths of the lake, he stood on the shore of the lake and stared at the lake for a long time, and saw the white sand and cobblestone at the bottom of the water through the clear water, but did not see anything abnormal.

Duanmu Rong couldn't sense that powerful aura, but she could clearly sense the existence of other things, walked to Xu Chen's side, looked at the fish swimming slowly in the lake, and said softly: "This lake is a big array, and the strange thing is that this lake itself is the eye of the formation, which seems to be a bit contrary to the principle of the formation." ”

Xu Chen was silent for a moment and then said, "The formation of the Unknowable Land is naturally a little different from the ordinary formation. ”

"Are you saying that this lake is the entrance of the Demon Sect?"

She looked at the distant snow peaks reflected on the surface of the lake, and suddenly remembered some records in the canon, and said in a trembling voice: "There used to be a record in the canon, there is a lake at the mouth of the Demon Sect Hall, is this lake?" ”

Xu Chen said: "It shouldn't be wrong. ”

Duanmu Rong looked at the ordinary small lake in front of him, and couldn't believe that he had discovered the entrance of the Demon Sect so easily, and said, "I really didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to witness the remains of the entrance of the Demon Sect in this life. ”

If it were another cultivator, he would definitely be very excited to see with his own eyes the entrance of the Demon Sect that had been annihilated in time, and to be able to see the legendary unknowable place, and even jump into the lake in a frenzy.

If it was another time period, Xu Chen might have been so excited, but now he was very calm, because whether there was the Heavenly Book hidden at the bottom of the lake or the relics of that senior of the master, it had nothing to do with him for the time being.

He suddenly asked, "Does this lake have a name?"

Duanmu Rong asked, "Why do you care about this?"

Xu Chen looked at her and said with a smile: "Nameless lakes and unnamed lakes are not good. ”

Duanmu Rong sighed, thinking to himself how difficult and mysterious it is to break through the realm, where can it be broken if it is broken? This is too arrogant, and said helplessly: "The Demon Sect calls itself the Holy Sect, so this lake is called the Holy Lake by them. ”

The valley seems to be an isolated foreign land, the lake reflects the high snow peaks, the wind and snow in the abandoned mountains outside the valley, the temperature is low, but here is still relatively warm, it looks very strange.

Xu Chen and Duanmu Rong didn't find the existence of hot springs and geothermal energy, so they could only attribute this vision to the function of the formation, thinking that a big array could cover the sky and go against the season, they couldn't help but feel shocked, and they became more and more sure that the entrance of the Demon Sect Hall, which had not appeared for decades, was in the lake in front of them.

According to Chen Lujie, the time for the opening of the hall has not yet arrived, and the two of them do not know when it will be opened, thinking that there should be a vision at that time, so they have to wait quietly while doing what they must do.

Xu Chen walked to a big rock by the lake and sat down, looked at the strange scaleless fish swimming in the clear lake water, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "How can I break through the realm?"

This is a very direct question, and it is also a very stupid question, and it is a question that all the great cultivators in the world cannot answer, because on the long path of cultivation, the scenery that passers-by see along the way is bright, and the scenery is different, where can there be a ready-made answer?

Xu Chen knew very well that he would inevitably encounter one mountain peak after another on the cultivation path, and he had already realized it and waited calmly, but he had been standing outside the cave for several months without progress, and now because of the gambling contract with Chen Lujie, he suddenly had a very heavy time pressure in his heart, so he subconsciously asked.

Duanmu Rong looked at him and whispered, "This kind of question can only be answered by yourself." ”

Xu Chen put his hand into the slightly cool lake water, scared away a few small fish, and said after thinking for a while: "I thought that the wish was the most important thing, you must have the desire to break the realm, in order to break the realm, if you want to think about it, the threshold will definitely be higher, and then there is confidence, you must believe that you can break the realm." ”

Now looking at the threshold of the Dongxuan realm, his desire to break through the realm is very strong, and the strong pressure brought to him by Chen Lujie and time has all turned into motivation.

However, looking at the fish swimming freely in the distance between the clear waters, and looking at the few fish in the vicinity that were still a little nervous after being scared away by him, he knew very well what he was missing the most.

Earlier, he told Duanmu Rong that he would not lose, and the two subsequent conversations about the Holy Lake, both seemed so confident, but in fact, it was just a way for him to strengthen his confidence, not that he already had confidence, facing that well-known prince, where could he have real confidence?

What's more, such a thing as breaking through the realm is too mysterious, like a snowstorm in a wasteland -- even if the blue sky is blazing with a scorching sun, a gust of wind may cause snowflakes to fall; if it is not coming, it is really not coming, even if the sky is full of lead clouds, and the bitter cold is dripping into ice, it is possible that the snow has not fallen for months.

Duanmurong walked to the stone, followed his gaze to the lake, and said, "You don't have faith?"

"I always thought I was a genius, there seemed to be nothing I couldn't learn, even if I found out later that I didn't have the qualifications to practice, but I still felt that I was much more fierce than others, you know? Last year, I was still thinking about how to kill a powerhouse in the Cave Xuan Realm with three knives. ”

Xu Chen looked at her and said seriously: "Later, when I embarked on the path of cultivation, the journey was smooth, including the same for entering the Fu Dao, the master and many people thought that I was a genius, but my self-confidence became weaker, because I saw a lot of geniuses on the true cultivation path, including you." ”

Duanmurong's eyelashes trembled slightly, not knowing what to say.

"What's more, there are unknowable places, and the thought that the world that comes out of there are all great cultivators of the Six Realms, I feel unhappy all over my body, and I feel that this thing is too boring. ”

Duanmu Rong raised his head, looked at him and said seriously, "Then how can I make your confidence stronger?"

Xu Chen said seriously: "I need praise. ”
