Chapter 40 At the foot of Luojia Mountain

Finally came to the day of departure, the ten contestants of the Cangyue Sect gathered in the square early in the morning, Xie Ling had already changed into a silver embroidered moon suit representing the intermediate instrument at this time, one of the requirements in the intermediate instrument assessment was that a small Tiangang magic weapon must be refined, Xie Ling simply re-sacrificed the 'Black Water Heavy Sword' as the assessment content after getting the one-yuan heavy water, because he had the experience of refining the 'Liujia Aegis', this time it was not surprising that the sacrifice was successfully completed.

In the assessment, Xie Ling's supernatural fire control ability and skillful Five Elements Technique amazed the two examiners in charge of the assessment that day, and Cui Sixiu, the head of the Refining Academy, one of the main examiners, even thought that Xie Ling was fully capable of obtaining the title of senior instrument. However, the rules are the rules, the senior artifact requires the refining of two small Tiangang magic weapons with different attributes, although Xie Ling has refined the 'Liujia Divine Aegis' before, but it is refined in his own cave, and it cannot be counted.

"Are you all ready?" Shen Shichao glanced at them, as one of the leaders of this team, the head of this Sword Trial Academy, the gaze of the late stage sword master of the Cangyue Sect Jindan was as sharp as two sharp swords.

Xuanwu realm cultivators have two systems, the basic system and the refinement system. Among them, the basic system is the body, which is mainly reflected in the realm of cultivation. The refinement system is used, which generally refers to the level of supernatural skills possessed by cultivators, and is distinguished by three levels: apprentice, scholar, and teacher. There are three sub-levels of apprentices and scholars, and when they reach the level of division, they are only divided into two levels, division and master. The sword cultivator is the sword master and the great sword master, the body refiner is the refiner and the great refiner, the poison maker is the poison master, the great poison master, and so on.

The refinement level is a division of personal strength, not everyone can be assessed in the Xuanwu Realm, and at present, only the Xiuzhen Alliance and the Seven Great Immortal Sects are recognized as qualified to formulate standards, among which the master level can only be judged by the Xiuzhen Alliance, and the number of masters who can obtain the title of master in the Xuanwu Realm is less than one palm.

As soon as Shen Shichao's voice fell, the ten people standing side by side in front responded at the same time: "It's ready!"

"Okay, this grand meeting will be led by me and Elder Yan of the House of Elders, if you don't understand anything along the way, you can ask me or Elder Yan, and you are not allowed to act without permission, understand?" Shen Shichao said.

"Understood!"

Xie Ling couldn't help but glance at the old man beside Shen Shichao, if he wasn't mistaken, this person was actually the elder of the Elder's House who had issued a mission to find the 'Aoki Ding' in the mission hall ten years ago.

The elder Jin Dan of the Elders' House squinted his eyes slightly from beginning to end, and stood quietly beside him with a smile on his face, looking at Shen Shichao's horse.

It is more than 1,000 miles away from Tianquan Peak to Luojia Mountain, and it takes about four hours to go forward without sleep at a three-level wind speed. The third-level wind speed is two hundred and forty miles per hour, which is the maximum speed that can be achieved in the general foundation building period, and the monk can only fly away with all his strength in the later stage of foundation building, which is only about four hours, a long road, if there is no controlled use of spiritual power, if there is an accident, then there is no self-protection ability. Therefore, for the sake of safety, they set off three days in advance, planning to travel for four hours a day at a level 2 wind speed, and if all went well, they would have another day to rest after reaching Luojia Mountain.

"It's 'Blackwater Valley' ahead!" Chen Yizhen's gaze swept over Xie Ling's face, remembering that he was just an ordinary Qi Refining Stage disciple during the Blackwater Valley trial, but now he can already compete with himself, representing the sect to participate in a grand event that will only be held once in sixty years, and he can't help but feel a little emotional.

Xie Ling was not in the mood to look back on the past at this time, not long ago, he felt that the 'Black Water Heavy Sword' in the storage bag was in a somewhat unstable state, as if there was a force in the dark that wanted to erase it from this world, and the closer he got to the Black Water Valley, the stronger this feeling became.

"Could it be..." He remembered the strange scene when he was in the Blackwater Lake Cave, and his expression changed slightly.

"Huh, what's going on?"

At this time, someone pointed to the sky above the Black Water Valley in the distance in astonishment, only to see that the space seemed to be distorted and refracted with colorful glow, and the clouds changed into various shapes in it, and its momentum was extremely spectacular.

The two Jindan monks in front of the team stopped in mid-air, and after the two exchanged glances, the elder surnamed Jindan Yan flashed, shooting towards the direction of Heishui Valley like lightning, and disappeared between the mountains in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the ten people who stayed in place had their own thoughts, especially Xie Ling, who thought of his 'Black Water Heavy Sword' and showed a strange look on his face.

"What are you worried about?" Shangguan Yu said suddenly.

"It's nothing, it's just a reminder of some of the past trials in Blackwater Valley. Xie Ling turned his head to look at Shangguan Yu on the side, but he didn't expect that she had been paying attention to herself.

"Yes!" Shangguan Yu didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, but she didn't ask any more questions.

At this time, Elder Yan's retreat had already returned, and after a moment of secret talk with Qiao Youxu under the attention of everyone, he temporarily changed the original plan to rest near the Blackwater Valley at night, and the whole team accelerated and continued to move forward, and after passing the Blackwater Valley, he flew away for half an hour before stopping, and at this time it was only more than three hundred miles away from Luojia Mountain.

Xie Ling miraculously found that after passing through the Black Water Valley, the abnormal movement of the 'Black Water Heavy Sword' became weaker and weaker with the increase of distance, which made him even more sure that the lake and black water in the Black Water Valley must have some connection with his 'Black Water Heavy Sword', but the reason for this was that he couldn't guess it even after racking his brains.

In the Blackwater Valley, the two primordial ancestors of Cangyue and Luojia Mountain breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the gradually weakening spatial fluctuations, according to the previous movements, as long as it continued for a while, even if there was the suppression of the original forbidden array, I am afraid that it would not be able to stop the Blackwater Lake from falling into the spatial fluctuations.

It is said that under the Blackwater Lake is the spatial passage to the Demon Realm, if the Blackwater Lake is lost, then not only the problem of the Cangyue Sect and Luojia Mountain, but also the entire Xuanwu Realm will usher in a spatial catastrophe.

"Brother Xue, over the years, the spatial fluctuations here will appear every once in a while, except for the previous one, each time in the past has been larger than the previous one, if we don't strengthen the prohibition here before it appears, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"At the beginning, the prohibition here was arranged by Master Yi of your sect, and I want to strengthen it on this basis, except for the Liuyun Master of the Yang Fu Sect, I am afraid that there is no second person in the world who can do it!"

"Liuyun Lao'er has always wanted to enter the Black Water Valley, it seems that this time he can only get his wish!" The old man of the Cangyue Sect nodded helplessly.

"By the way, you just said that this time the fluctuation is not like the previous times to intensify the spatial fluctuation, is there any special reason that we don't know?"

"You mean..."

"You and I both know that the bottom of the Blackwater Lake is the space-time node of this interface and another interface, thirteen years ago, since the Blackwater Lake began to become unstable, you can say that it exists in the world, or you can say that it does not actually exist, it is free from the critical interface of the space-time node, although then the space-time node where it is located will suddenly become extremely unstable every once in a while, but it has never erupted again every other day, and it seems that this eruption is not like the previous sudden intensification of spatial fluctuations, it looks like it was triggered by something。 ”

The Yuan God Ancestor of the Cangyue Sect nodded after thinking for a moment.

"Nothing special has happened since yesterday, it's just..."

"You mean you just passed through here..."

"It's just them, don't you notice that the farther away they are from here, the less the Blackwater Lake will fluctuate?"

The Yuan God Ancestor of the Cangyue Sect suddenly lit up in his eyes, and a figure appeared in his mind!

"'Blackwater Heavy Sword', could it be him!"

"What 'Black Water Heavy Sword', who is Daoyou talking about?" asked the Yuanshen Ancestor surnamed Luojia Mountain Xue suspiciously.

"I remembered a disciple of the Honzong Foundation Building Period. ”

"Foundation Building Period Disciples..." The Yuan God Ancestor surnamed Xue was even more curious, the Foundation Building Period Cultivator who could make the Beigong Killing God, one of the only two Yuan God Ancestors in the Cangyue Sect, remember would never be simple.

"Brother Xue, don't worry, you'll know when you get to the Holy Fruit Conference. Beigong Old Ancestor said with a smile.

・・・・・・・・・・・・

Outside the Xifeng Courtyard at the foot of Luojia Mountain, a huge silver spaceship attracted the attention of the twelve people of the Cangyue Sect. The silver spaceship stopped on the square outside, and the hull of more than thirty zhang long almost occupied half of the square, and at this time, on Luojia Mountain, led by the sect master Meng Fangxia himself, the three sword hall masters, and the five Jindan elders greeted the spaceship with the most honorable courtesy.

"Xue Lao'er, what's the matter, doesn't he know that this palace is coming!"

A cold voice came from the cabin, and the person who came didn't take the sect master Meng Fangxia as the leader and bow down to greet the group of Luojia Mountain Jindan monks outside.

"The ancestor is not in the sect because of the temporary important matter, and the special order disciples and others are waiting for the master here, and they also look forward to the Ling Palace Lord Haihan. "Meng Fang chivalrous.

"Something is not there, hehe, it's really strange, it seems that I didn't count the auspicious day when I went out this time, and all of them are not there, forget it, I don't bother to worry about you juniors, Yue'er, let's go down!"

"Yes, Palace Master!"

Everyone saw that under the greeting of sixteen white-clothed female disciples outside, a stunning woman walked out of the inside, she lifted the reed curtain, and then a woman in palace clothes walked out of the cabin surrounded by several beautiful women.

"What a big battle, who are they?" Xie Ling asked curiously.

"They are from the Northern Ice Palace, and the leader should be the rumored Lord of the Ice Palace, the Lord of the Ling Palace!" Chen Yizhen said on the side.

"Lord of the Ice Palace..." Xie Ling looked at the Ling Palace Lord curiously, only to see that she looked like she was only twenty-five or sixteen, with a slender figure, and her expression was seven points similar to Shangguan Yu, they were all that kind of cold people.

"I didn't expect that even the rumored Lord of the Ice Palace came this time, it's really worth the trip!" Chen Yizhen said with some excitement.

"Brother Chen, you are so excited, have you taken a fancy to one of their female disciples!" Xie Ling laughed.

"I want the spirit fruit, and I want the beautiful woman!" Chen Yizhen shook his head, squinted his small eyes and said without hiding his inner thoughts.

Zong Beiwang and the others touched their heads unconsciously, Chen Yizhen is also old, how can his heart still be the same as before. And that Xie Ling is also open-mouthed, so that the people of the Northern Stygian Ice Palace heard it, wouldn't they cause trouble.

Sure enough, Qiao Youxu turned his head and glared at Chen Yizhen and Xie Ling, and the warning in his eyes was not too obvious.

The two had to be quiet obediently under their fierce eyes, and waited for Qiao Youxu to turn his head before looking at each other and smiling.

And at this moment, the people of the Ice Palace were walking in front of it in order, when Xin Yue looked over, she only saw Xie Ling's side, she didn't dare to look more, she only glanced at it and withdrew her gaze, and followed the Ling Palace Lord and walked in front of the Cangyue Sect and the others.

Xie Ling suddenly put away his smile, and at that moment just now, a strange feeling suddenly hit his heart, it was a feeling of hard work, this feeling was very painful, very painful, as if something very important was leaving him.

He turned his head to look at the Ice Palace team walking by, and was dazed for a long time, a long time!

"Linggu, what's wrong with you?" Xin Yue suddenly noticed that Linggu, who had never had much expression, had a somewhat ugly face, and asked with concern.

Linggu just shook her head, she wanted to say something, but she didn't remember what to say, her expression was very trance-like.

Xin Yue held her tightly in her arms, and every time she encountered this situation for so many years, she could only comfort Linggu in this way.
