After the refining of the nourishing incense was completed, Cheng Ling did not stop. A god-nourishing incense is not enough, after leaving the sword shrine, he still needs to be taken care of by the old man, and he has to refine more.

He took out all the ingredients in the ring and continued to refine it.

One day later, all the ingredients were refined, and fifty incense sticks were refined. He called Zhang Hu, handed him the Flame Essence Crystal, and instructed them to cultivate hard, and then returned to the trial hall.

After returning to the hall, he said to Yuan Ling, "Old man, take me to your consciousness space." ”

As soon as Yuan Ling moved, he sucked Cheng Ling into the consciousness space, transformed his figure, and asked, "Jianzi, what do you command?" ”

Cheng Ling said: "Old man, I have gained many benefits in the trial, among which there is a Dan Dao inheritance, and the master's name is Wei Liao, I don't know if you know." ”

"Wei Liao Sword Emperor, I can't imagine that the sword has such a deep fate and can actually get his inheritance!"

"Yes, it's a pity that he only left the Dan Dao inheritance. But that's enough, I found a kind of incense in the inheritance, called Yangshen incense, I hope it will be useful to you. ”

The old man trembled with excitement, and the illusory spirit body seemed to dissipate. Cheng Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Old man, don't get excited, tell me if it's useful to you first?"

The old man finally stabilized his mind, bowed to Cheng Ling, and said, "Thank you Jianzi, this incense is really useful to me." If it is combined with this Yuan Shen Bead, the old man's Yuan Shen can last longer. ”

Cheng Ling took out a handful of nourishing incense and said, "There are fifty nourishing incense here, but unfortunately there are too few materials for refining nourishing incense. How much time can you delay your life?"

"Haha, yes, I didn't expect the old man to have such an opportunity. Enough, the old man is very satisfied. Swords, these nourishing incense, one can last for a year, if you save a little, maybe more. ”

Cheng Ling let out a long breath and secretly thought: One a year, fifty is fifty years, the time is still too little, I hope I can find the materials for nourishing the gods outside!

Handing the incense to the old man, Cheng Ling said: "Old man, after leaving the Sword Shrine, I will continue to look for materials, hoping to extend your longevity." ”

Yuan Ling's eyes flashed, he glanced at Cheng Ling meaningfully, and asked, "Jianzi, what do you need the old man to do?"

Cheng Ling nodded slowly, the old man is worthy of being an old monster for hundreds of millions of years, and he is really shrewd. He said, "I want you to take good care of the Sword Pavilion, and you can't let anyone enter this place, wait for me to come back!"

"Kenzi, do you have any plans?"

"Yes, old man, I won't hide it from you. Originally, I had no interest in reviving the way of the sword, but after going through the three levels of heaven, earth, and man, I had a trace of resonance with what the ancient sword cultivators pursued and what they believed in. ”

"But that's not enough. Reviving the way of the sword, how difficult it is, with the strength of me alone, even if I add the strength of the other eight people, for the cultivation system of this world, it is still a mantis arm to block the car. ”

"Therefore, I need to develop the power of kendo and train monks who support kendo. And the sword pavilion here can be used as the foundation for the revival of kendo in the future, and it is also the foundation for kendo to cultivate talents. I have seen the methods of ancient sword cultivation, which are far beyond the reach of sword cultivation in this world. ”

"Although I don't agree with their view of the extreme sword, even so, the kendo resources here are still the best in the world.

Therefore, only by guarding this place can we have hope for revival and let the seeds of kendo take root and sprout!"

Yuan Ling's eyes gradually moistened, how many years, he has been looking forward to Cheng Ling's arrival, only a talent like him, who integrates talent, wisdom, and vision, can bring a glimmer of hope to kendo. He bowed deeply and said, "Yes, the old man will obey the orders of the sword and will definitely guard this place." ”

Cheng Ling continued: "The road of cultivation is bumpy, and the road to the revival of kendo is full of thorns. But don't insist on this, if you can't do it, you still hope to take care of yourself and leave the fire. ”

"Yes, thank you Jianzi for your care. ”

"Okay, you know my purpose, and I have one more question for you. ”

"Sword, please!"

"In the trial secret realm, all the sword cultivators I met were the sword cultivators of the extreme stream, why have I never seen those first-class sects who also cultivated?"

The old man sighed and said, "Jianzi doesn't know anything, and the disciple of the sect who is also cultivating that sect, now I am the only one left, and the others have left!"

"Why, where are they going?"

"After the great battle hundreds of millions of years ago, the Sword Pavilion was completely lost, and there were only about thirty people who could survive. Among them, there are eighteen people who are in the extreme stream, and there are fifteen people who are also in the stream. Feeling the withering of the way of the sword, they finally decided to leave the Sword Pavilion and never knew where to go. ”

Cheng Ling was silent, and the sword cultivation thought of the concurrent stream was much more enlightened than that of the extreme stream. They hit a wall in the way of the sword, and they comprehended the power of artistic conception, and it was easy to transfer to the way of cultivation or martial arts.

However, since then, there has been another hidden danger. He asked, "Do you know where those people have gone, do they remember where the Sword Pavilion is?"

The old man said: "The old man understands the concerns of the sword, but the old man doesn't know where they are going. However, if you want to return to the Sword Pavilion again, I am afraid it is unlikely. ”

"Why?"

"In the secret realm, can the sword find any kind of exercise or sword technique outside the limit flow?"

Cheng Ling thought for a while and said, "No, even those sword elves and swordsmen use the sword technique of the extreme flow. ”

"That's right, not only did they leave by themselves, but they also took away the exercise cheats hidden in the Sword Pavilion. Moreover, not long after leaving, there was a change in the Sword Pavilion, the sword elves began to be born, and the defensive formation was integrated into the soul of the sword cultivator, and it was extremely difficult to enter again. ”

"In that case, how can we come in? ”

"The sword entered here, which really surprised the old man, and by chance he killed a large number of sword elves and opened the passage to enter. Such a coincidence, one in ten thousand, should not be a big problem. ”

Cheng Ling was silent, and in his intuition, there would definitely be descendants who left the Sword Pavilion back then to come here again, but at present, he was not able to stop it at all, and the defensive formation and the Sword Qi Stone Forest, with his current formation grade, could not make changes.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind. Thinking of the island formation in the sea of waves back then, maybe the monk who set up that formation could have the strength to change the defense of the Sword Pavilion!

His own formation cultivation has been stranded in the sixth grade, and he has not advanced an inch for so many years. Now that the exploration of the Sword Shrine Secret Realm has been completed, and the cultivation has been promoted to the peak of the middle stage of distraction, it seems that it is time to go to the Canglang Sea.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to dwell on it too much, so I exchanged a few words with the old man, left the consciousness space, and returned to the trial hall.

When I returned to the hall, I didn't see anyone. With a sweep of his divine sense, he found that they were all cultivating in the space outside the hall. Turn around and leave the hall and walk outside.

In the space outside, the five people sat cross-legged, and only Bai Yiyi was fighting with the sword elves. Gu Youlan's cultivation broke through to the peak of the middle stage of the god transformation, and the cultivation of Wu Chenlong, Xi Yan, and Zhang Hu also re-cultivated to the early stage of the god transformation.

Because it is a transfer cultivation method, the thunder tribulation that the three of them have experienced does not need to be experienced again. Looking at their breath now, they have made great progress, and the foundation has been consolidated a lot.

He nodded with satisfaction and asked Song Yingjie, "Brother Song, are you ready to enter the trial space?"

"Yes, I'm not very strong, but I want to give it a try. ”

"Okay, then it's up to you to go in first, Brother Sword should be coming out soon, you can enter the Humanity Pass first, remember, it's best to choose normal difficulty. ”

Song Yingjie agreed, and went back to the trial hall.

Bai Yiyi was able to kill a dark blue sword elf, and when he saw Cheng Ling coming out, he turned around and said, "Brother Ling, the basic sword style you taught is very practical, I feel that my strength has improved again, and the swordsmanship is even more powerful." ”

Cheng Ling smiled slightly, woke everyone up, and said: "The cultivation of the basic style, you can maintain it every day, and there is also a kind of kendo realm, I don't know how far you have mastered it? ”

Bai Yiyi was extremely excited and said, "I'll come first!"

After speaking, he immediately killed Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling nodded secretly, Bai Yiyi's foundation is still very solid, and the sword realm is probably the peak of the first layer, and it is very close to the second layer of human sword integration.

He suppressed his realm to the early stage of the second layer and fought with Bai Yiyi. Each sword was deliberately slowed down so that she could see better.

Bai Yiyi felt that Cheng Ling's swordsmanship was like an antelope hanging on its horns, delicate and abnormal, every step could predict the direction of his attack, and every sword attack made him resist very hard, and after fighting for half an hour, he jumped out of the sword circle.

Said angrily: "Don't fight! Don't fight! Brother Ling, your swordsmanship is very uncomfortable, what kind of kendo realm is that?"

Cheng Ling explained: "The kendo realm is divided into four layers. The first layer, people are people, swords are swords, the second layer, is the unity of man and sword, what I just used is the initial stage of the unity of man and sword; this realm and people and swords are inseparable from each other, and the sword is like an extension of the arm, so the swordsmanship used in this way, the lethality and subtlety are above the general swordsmanship. ”

"What are the third and fourth layers?" Gu Youlan interjected.

"The third layer is the heart sword, where the heart moves, where the sword is, this realm is already a realm that is extremely difficult for sword cultivation to achieve. ”

"The fourth layer is the sword of will, as long as the mind moves, it can kill the enemy without any medium, which is the highest realm of swordsmanship. ”

"Boss, where are you now?"

"I'm at the top of the second tier right now. Cheng Ling didn't tell them the truth, not that he didn't trust, but that he left some hole cards for himself, and often these hole cards would have an unexpected effect at critical moments.

He continued: "The realm of kendo is the foundation of a swordsman in the way of the sword, and it is the foundation! Only when the realm of the kendo is consolidated and the same sword technique is used, will it be superior to others. Okay, now each of you will fight with me, and you can comprehend the mysteries of the kendo realm!"
