Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the middle of December, and the weather at this time had completely entered the cold winter.

During this time, the Qingyun Empire was very unstable, no, to be exact, the entire Purple Cloud Domain became unpeaceful.

Tianzun Secret Collection, that is the treasure left by a generation of Sword Venerable powerhouses, there are countless precious treasures in it, and there are even rumors, and there are even rumors that there is a legacy of that Sword Venerable powerhouse.

Such a temptation that no one can refuse.

As the time gradually approached, the various sects in the entire Purple Cloud Domain began to move one after another, sending a large number of sect disciples to flock to the Qingyun Empire, and some of them were directly the sect masters, and they rushed over with the elders.

Of course, such a huge treasure naturally could not only be the participation of the Purple Cloud Domain. The sect forces of several other domains around him, during this time, also came one after another, gathered in the Purple Cloud Domain, waiting for the opening of the Tianzun Secret Collection.

It can be said that the heroes are gathering and the dark tide is surging

Thousands of miles of mountains, covered with snow, the icy chill turned into a layer of mist in the air, shrouded down, slowly drifting in the mountains and forests, like a fairyland.

Thundered

In the small valley, roaring bursts, the hundred-zhang high waterfall in the cold low temperature, slightly frozen, hanging out a long layer of ice on both sides, but not completely frozen, the center of the waterfall is still turbulent, the clear water flow straight down, such as the silver dragon hanging upside down, smashing down, smashed into the cold tan.

The Ice Waterfall Silver Dragon, such a beautiful view, is really beautiful.

Crunch

With a screeching sound, a corner of the valley. A quaint wooden house slowly opened, and Han Chen, who was dressed in a simple robe, slowly walked out with his feet in his hands.

"Hehe, looking at the weather today, it seems that it is going to snow again!" Looking up at the slightly gloomy weather in the sky, Han Chen smiled slightly.

As soon as he lifted his footsteps, he walked down the stairs.

The weather in December is the time of the cold winter moon outside, and for the 100,000 mountains. It was the coldest time of the year. This time. Almost every two or three days, there is a snowfall, and it is not a light snow, but a goose-feather snow.

Snow on the ground. Unable to melt. Accumulation. It was already nearly a foot deep, and when I stepped on it, it didn't reach my calf.

Crunchy

Go barefoot. The snow was trampled on, making a crisp sound, and the icy chill surged up the soles of his feet, sweeping through his body, but it made Han Chen extremely refreshed.

Stopping in the clearing, Han Chen's arm was raised, and a quaint ordinary iron sword appeared in his hand, and with a 'choking' sound, he drew the sword out of its sheath.

The sword light flashed, the body moved with the sword, and the sword walked with it!

At this time, Han Chen waved the long sword in his hand, and there were still no moves, which had long become his habit of practicing swords.

Not stuck in things, not stuck in form, what the heart thinks, what the sword points to!

After all, the most basic move is the closest to its origin!

Han Chen didn't expect to be able to pass through the basic sword moves and understand the origin of the sword, he just hoped that he could go one step further and get a little closer, and he would be satisfied.

His eyes closed slightly, Han Chen's face was calm, his mind was completely open, and he was immersed in the sword in his hand, flying as the blade slashed through the air and across the ground.

A little bit of light flew out from Han Chen's forehead and eyebrows, and landed silently on the stone table beside him, and then turned into a figure.

But it's Guiguzi.

Looking at Han Chen, who was completely immersed in sword practice at this time, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but nod slightly.

Compared to a few months ago, the aura on Han Chen's body didn't seem to have become much stronger, and even reduced a lot, becoming more elegant.

It's a wonderful feeling, like snow in the rain, coming and going, looming!

Whew

Suddenly, a light breeze blew, and the chill in the air rose sharply, freezing cold, but in this regard, Han Chen's face showed a sense of happiness.

The breeze continued to blow, and patches of crystal snow appeared from the sky, swaying gently and falling down with the wind.

Sure enough, it didn't happen as Han Chen expected, it really snowed.

As time passed, the scattered and swaying snow droplets in the light wind gradually grew larger, and when they opened, they turned into goose feathers and poured down.

It is not just this small valley that snows, but the entire mountain range for thousands of miles. As far as the eye can see, there is a snow-white space between heaven and earth, and the snowflakes sprinkled in the middle are full of it, becoming an embellishment between heaven and earth.

Swish!

The sword light swayed, like a meteor across the sky, but there was not the slightest strong wind and energy escaping, but where the sword blade crossed, all the snowflakes naturally separated in the middle, turned into two pieces, and fell suddenly.

Boom

The snow was falling, covering the sky and the sun, and the sword in Han Chen's hand moved with the wind and danced with the snow. At this moment, if there were other martial artists watching from the side, they would find that Han Chen's speed of swinging his sword at this time was obviously not fast, but he just couldn't capture the trajectory of his sword, like an antelope hanging its horns, and there was no trace at all.

At the same time, the aura on Han Chen's body became more elegant, and at the same time, it seemed to have been reduced a lot, bright and uncertain, and sometimes hidden.

Sensing this, the smile on Guiguzi's face on the side was even bigger, and he nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

Laugh at!

The blade of the sword pierced through the air, froze on the ground, stopped, and pointed diagonally at the ground, while Han Chen's body moving with the sword also stopped.

At this time, Han Chen's eyes were slightly open, and they still did not open.

The snow is falling in a torrential manner, and it seems that the snow is even bigger than the previous ones, and the time is longer.

The goose-feather-like snow drifted down and fell on Han Chen's hair, arms, skin, and sword

But it did not dissolve, let alone fall off, but slowly accumulated one by one.

Just the kung fu of tea, a thick layer of snowflakes accumulated on Han Chen's body, and the whole person was covered in silver, but he was motionless, like a snowman.

Guiguzi was on the side, smiling, just looking at it, and didn't speak.

Time passes slowly. The university is getting bigger and bigger, and dense snowflakes are filling the sky and the earth, as if at this moment, this day, this land, all this qiē, has become a world of snow.

At this time, looking at Han Chen again, the whole person was completely overwhelmed by snowflakes, and his whole body was snow-white. He still hasn't woken up. Even with a faint smile on his face.

"The body is already in the world, and it is already a great achievement, next. As long as the heart melts into the world. That's it!" looked at the breath on his body at this time. It became more elegant, and at the same time cut again, like a light breeze. Han Chen, who would dissipate at any time, Guiguzi's face was not the slightest bit worried, but a smile was even bigger.

Han Chen's main purpose in coming to the 100,000 Mountains is to take advantage of the unique geographical advantages of the 100,000 Mountains to penetrate the artistic conception of the countless people in Na Ling.

In the past few months, in addition to the necessary cultivation every day, Han Chen has devoted most of his time to the contemplation of this artistic conception.

The result was naturally extremely gratifying, after entering the 100,000 Mountains for a month, Han Chen continued to comprehend and watch the snow every day, and finally gave him a chance to realize.

This opportunity was very subtle, although it did not allow Han Chen to break through directly, but it allowed him to find the direction.

Two months later, he finally surpassed the realm of consummation and took that half step.

This half-step is to melt the world. Merge yourself into heaven and earth.

It can also be called a half-step artistic conception.

Although it is impossible to use the power of artistic conception, in this state, the power of the martial artist will be greatly improved compared to the realm of light and weight, whether it is the speed of the sword or the strength of the sword.

And if you want to fully enter the realm of artistic conception, you must not only integrate your body into the world, but also integrate your heart into the world.

After these months of enlightenment, Han Chen has completely mastered the body of Heaven and Earth, and the rest is to integrate his own soul into Heaven and Earth.

As time passed, the aura on Han Chen's body became weaker and weaker, and gradually, it gradually disappeared.

In the small valley, there was silence, and there was no movement except for the inaudible sound of the breeze blowing and the snowflakes falling on the accumulated layers of snow.

"It should be about the same!"

Looking at Han Chen, who did not have the slightest movement and did not have the slightest breath emanating, Guiguzi's brows furrowed slightly, and he said secretly in his heart.

And his voice had just fallen, and a faint aura emanated from Han Chen's body.

This aura was completely different from the aura on his body before, full of coldness and ethereal.

It's like a snowflake, born from the cold, sprinkled with the wind!

As soon as this aura appeared, it quickly grew stronger and spread out in all directions.

airplanes

After a few breaths, the air shook slightly, covered by thick snow, and Han Chen, who did not have the slightest movement, suddenly shook, his eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened.

Bang la blah

The slight movement broke the balance of the snow on his body, and the thick snow cracked and splashed down, and Han Chen's body was as clean as ever, not staining it in the slightest.

"The artistic conception of snow, it's a wonderful feeling!"

Looking up, feeling the snowflakes falling on his face, and then continuing to slide down, the cold touch brought by it, Han Chen smiled slightly and said softly.

The voice fell, Han Chen lowered his head and turned his wrist, and the long sword was put into the sheath, and then put it into the empty ring. He turned to look at Guiguzi on the side and said, "Teacher, the New Year is coming, let's go back!"

It is already the middle of December, and in half a month at most, the New Year will begin. And after the end of the year, the Tianzun Vault will also be opened, but the specific time has not been determined.

This time he came to the 100,000 Great Mountain, Han Chen's purpose was just to comprehend the artistic conception, and other cultivation was secondary, after all, with his current cultivation strength, it was not so easy to make a big improvement.

What's more, during this time, I have also improved, and the artistic conception has been realized, and there is no point in continuing to stay, so it is better to go back.

"Okay!" Guiguzi nodded with a smile.

Han Chen's departure this time was the same as the last time, the wooden house still remained, and he might come back again in the future like this time.

At the mouth of the valley, in addition to the previous formations, Han Chen added a few new formations, and even in the air, he put up several large formations and supported them.

As for the rest, nothing has changed.

His eyes swept around to make sure nothing had been forgotten. Han Chen pinched the seal with his left hand, the cyan light shone, and the green luan wings condensed out behind him.

Crash!

Stepping forward, the wide Qingluan wings stretched out, and with a fierce shock, Han Chen turned into a green rainbow, cutting through this snowy world and galloping away in the direction of the outside world.

"戾"

A moment later, Han Chen flew out of the 100,000 Great Mountain, and immediately after. A huge figure. He let out a hiss and rushed over.

Han Chen smiled slightly, his body jumped, and Qingluan's wings were retracted. It landed firmly on its back.

It was Han Chen's mount. Four-winged vulture.

The Four-Winged Vulture is a wind-type magical beast. For this 100,000 mountains with extremely strong spiritual energy, it is really unsuitable, and the temperature is too low. Unable to go deep at all, he was left outside by Han Chen, and it was not until today that he came out and reunited.

"戾"

After not seeing Han Chen for months, the four-winged wind vulture looked very excited, raising its neck and hissing constantly, and from time to time stretching its neck behind its back and making a cheerful chirp at Han Chen.

"Hahaha, don't worry, you won't forget the rations for the past few months, give it to you!"

Although Han Chen didn't understand the beast language, looking at the thick pity in the eyes of the four-winged wind vulture, how could he not understand what he meant, he immediately laughed, flicked his fingers, and directly took out ten high-grade spirit cores from the empty ring and threw them over.

Seeing that Han Chen was so generous this time, throwing out so many top-grade spirit cores at once, the four-winged wind vulture's eyes shone brightly, with a big mouth, and the suction surged, instantly sucking ten high-grade spirit cores into his abdomen.

The ten top-grade spirit cores contained a lot of aura, but Han Chen was not worried that the four-winged wind vulture would suffer any damage because it couldn't withstand the impact of that aura.

Because he hadn't seen him for more than four months, he found that the aura emanating from this guy's body had actually reached the peak of the fifth-order demonic beast, which meant that the four-winged wind vulture at this time, under his daily feeding with the spirit core, had really grown a lot, and had reached a bottleneck state.

When the bottleneck is reached, it is natural that it needs to be broken.

The method chosen by Han Chen was very simple, he continued to feed the high-grade spirit core, and with the heaven and earth aura contained in the spirit core, he could definitely let it continue to grow until it broke through the bottleneck.

"Okay, let's take me to the beast city first!" Ignoring the four-winged wind vulture that was still screaming happily, Han Chen stomped on the soles of his feet and said loudly.

Perverse!

The four giant wings of the four-winged wind vulture shook violently, swirled the wind and thunder, turned into a black lightning, and swept away in the direction where the beast city was located.

He came to the beast city for no special purpose, he stayed in the 100,000 mountains for a long time, and now that he has come out, he must always be kind to himself.

At the same time, he also hoped to visit Xia Tieli and thank him for his gift of jade slips.

And in addition to that, he also wanted to know what had happened to the Purple Cloud Empire and even the Purple Cloud Domain during the few months that he had entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains and retreated.

The opening of the Tianzun Secret Treasure is imminent, all forces gather, and there is nothing to do with each other, it is a fool's dream, and the battle is absolutely indispensable, if you can't grasp the latest information, it will be absolutely unfavorable to yourself.

The Beast City is a city of mercenaries and warriors, so it's the best place to ask for this kind of news.

The speed of the four-winged vulture is extremely fast, a distance of three thousand miles, but it only takes half a pillar of incense to cross it.

Jumping down from outside the beast city, letting the four-winged vulture move on its own, and then paying some money to enter the city, Han Chen slowly entered the city barefoot and carrying an ordinary iron sword.

The beast city has not changed much, the only difference is that the faces of the pedestrians on the street have changed a lot, and there are a lot fewer permanent mercenaries, loose cultivators and sect disciples in the past, correspondingly, some martial artists in sect costumes that have never been seen before, but there are many more.

Han Chen's eyes swept around, selected a restaurant, and walked in.

At this time, it was still in the morning, and there was still some time before noon, Han Chen was not in a hurry, he asked Xiao Er for an upper room and hot water, took a hot bath, and then ate some wine and food, satisfied his appetite, and sat down in a window seat, quietly sipping tea, and at the same time listening to the chatter of the mercenaries and warriors around him.

It's just a pity that there are still fewer people at this time, and there is not much useful news, but Han Chen is not in a hurry.

Soon, by noon, there were more people in the restaurant, and correspondingly, the sound of conversation became noisy and noisy.

However, Han Chen didn't care about this, his soul perception was released, and he could hear everyone clearly, as for the useless ones, he closed his hearing, and then directly ignored them with his soul perception.

As time passed, Han Chen really heard some of the things that happened during this time.

Wind and fire are endless, there is no god!

The clouds and smoke are vast, a hundred miles and thousands of years old!

Seven stars in the sky, Nangong stars!

Hundred battles overlord, Luo Rulie!

Han Chen shook his head secretly and said, "What a domineering name, I didn't expect these guys to come too."

Han Chen didn't expect that Absolute God and the others would come, let alone that these guys would create such a resounding fame in such a short period of time, and they would even be named by others.

Of course, in addition to them, there are people from several other domains, and they have also made their own names.

For example, the sword of the fallen city, the phoenix fairy!

Slash the sky with one sword, fight exquisitely!

The giant sword is supreme, and it is impermanent!

The sword is unparalleled, and the clouds are dead!

And so on, there are dozens of people, these are the geniuses of these newly rising young generations, and they are extremely powerful, stronger than many martial artists of the older generation.

Some of them also know what sect they belong to. But some of them seem to be extremely mysterious, as if they are a casual cultivator, and they don't know the bottom line at all.

However, without exception, these people were not from the Purple Cloud Domain, they had rushed over from other domains.

In addition to these geniuses of the younger generation, there are also many unfamiliar faces among the strong men of the older generation, but none of them are extremely strong.

And in addition to these, during this time, there were also a lot of fights.

There are battles between the local sects of the Purple Cloud Domain, as well as fights between other outsiders, most of which are petty fights, basically after one fight, it is over.

After all, the Heavenly Venerable Vault has not yet begun, and it is really unwise to be desperate at this time.

It's just that there are two battles, but they are not so, but they are not endless, or rather, they have died and rested.

One of them is that the Drifting Cloud Valley of the Eight-Rank Intermediate Sect was somehow destroyed overnight, and the most bizarre thing in it is that all the people above the sword and soldier realm in its sect are gone, and there are only some lowly disciples and servants left in the sect.

The other one is the Thundercloud Sect, an eight-rank upper-level sect, which was also destroyed overnight.

And this time, what is even more strange is that in the Thundercloud Sect, from the sect master and elders to the disciples and servants, all the bodies of everyone are gone.

In the entire mountain gate, except for the traces of the battle when the warriors fought, there was only scattered blood. (To be continued......)
