The old man's aura was hot and violent, like lava rolling in a volcano, interspersed with the Earth Fire Lake, but he could tell that Chen Zong was practicing with the help of the Earth Fire Qi at this moment, and he didn't know what he was practicing specifically.

He is probably practicing the exercises.

The old man was very surprised that a high-level semi-saint dared to enter here to practice.

Chen Zong also knew that someone was coming, but he had no intention of disturbing him, so he ignored it.

At first, it was very painful to be burned by the ground fire. Chen Zong had to bear the pain. As he endured it, he got used to it little by little. In the end, the pain seemed to disappear and was replaced by a numb feeling, as if he was numb.

.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another half day passed. The old man became more and more surprised, and his interest in Chen Zong also greatly increased, and he was even a little moved.

"Half a day!" The old man said secretly: "As long as he persists for another half day, I will accept him as a disciple."

Even an ordinary Saint can hardly persist here for long. A high-level Semi-Saint has persisted for at least half a day. If he can persist for another half day, it will be absolutely amazing.

Another half day passed, and Chen Zong still showed no signs of failure.

At this time, the numbness receded little by little, replaced by relief.

The old man was increasingly shocked and secretly excited. Being able to stay in the depths of the Earth Fire Cave for so long was undoubtedly an ideal successor.

Another half day passed, and Chen Zong was shocked to the extreme. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a sharp ray of light was as sharp as a sword, piercing the sky and tearing everything apart.

This sharpness made the old man secretly frightened.

"Half-step sword intent!" The old man looked solemn.

This kind of sharpness was clearly the aura of half-step sword intent. Of course, he didn't know exactly what kind of half-step sword intent it was. He just felt it was very magical.

"Young man, what's your name?" the old man said, interrupting Chen Zong's thinking.

"Junior Chen Zong." Chen Zong put aside his thoughts for the time being, looked at the old man, and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. To be able to come here, he must be a strong person from the Ancient Xuanhui, or be related to it.

"Chen Zong..." The old man seemed to be thinking about it: "Are you Chen Zong, the genius of the Hunyuan Sword on the Mingbang list?"

After being recognized by Chen Zong, the old man was immediately overjoyed.

Loose cultivator!

That means it is easier to accept the other party as a disciple.

"I'm the Earth Fire King, are you willing to close the door for me as a disciple?" the old man said directly.

Earth Fire King!

Chen Zong was slightly surprised that he turned out to be a king-level powerhouse.

I saw with my own eyes a king-level powerful man.

You must know that neither the Wine Master nor the Sword Master is a king-level powerhouse.

A king-level powerhouse may not necessarily be stronger than the Wine Venerable at this stage, but his potential must be higher than the Wine Venerable.

A king-level expert actually wanted to accept him as his disciple.

Chen Zong was a little surprised, but he didn't feel excited.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I already have a master." Chen Zongdao indirectly rejected the other party.

Being rejected by Chen Zong, the Earth Fire King was not angry, but felt a little pity.

He is very optimistic about Chen Zong.

But since he has been rejected, as a king-level strong man, he will naturally not ask again and again. It is related to the dignity of the strong man.

After all, in most cases it should be the other party who asks to become one's disciple, not the other way around.

"Senior, junior, take your leave." Chen Zong bowed to the Earth Fire King and left.

The Earth Fire King looked away after watching Chen Zong leave, and in a flash, he appeared above the Earth Fire Lake. A large amount of Earth Fire Qi quickly gathered from all directions, and poured into the Earth Fire King's body to be absorbed and refined.

If Chen Zong saw this scene, he would definitely be shocked.

After all, when he absorbed the energy of earth fire, he absorbed it in wisps at first, not like this, swallowing it like a whale, which is very scary.

However, the other party used the two words "Earth and Fire" as the title of king. He must have extraordinary abilities, so there is nothing surprising.

Chen Zong's steps were fast and extremely light.

Chen Zong was in a very happy mood.

The first calamity of the Three Tribulations of Sharpening the Earth Fire Tribulation was completed, and the half-step sword intent was successfully tempered by the earth fire. This laid a solid foundation and the first step for future breakthroughs in mastering the supreme sword intent.

Moreover, Chen Zong also had a feeling that his half-step sword intention seemed to be able to break through again and reach 70% in a short period of time.

As long as he returns to Xuanming Courtyard in Xuanming District, Xuanming City, he will immediately retreat and cultivate.

Under the escort of the powerful men of the Ancient Xuanhui, Chen Zong did not encounter any danger, arrived at Xuanming City safely, and immediately went into seclusion.

All kinds of understandings emerged in his mind, which seemed to be disturbing one after another, but they were sorted out and mastered by Chen Zong. From this, the half-step sword intention ushered in a breakthrough.

Seventy percent!

The power of the 70% half-step sword intent becomes more and more powerful and terrifying.

Chen Zong did not draw his sword, but pointed to the sword, inspired 70% of the sword intent, and the sword pointed out of the air to kill, directly piercing the space in front, leaving a faint red, exuding a trace of

Fierce heat.

Chen Zong was slightly surprised.

There seems to be a hint of earth fire in his half-step sword intention, giving it a trace of earth fire power. Of course, it is very subtle, and it does not increase the power of the half-step sword intention.

But after Chen Zong thought about it, it seemed that it was useful for the power of fire.

Perhaps, it can be used to help you understand the meaning of half-step fire in the power of flames.

Maybe, there is still hope of understanding the earth fire Dao intention, which is at least an intermediate level Dao intention.

Thinking of this, Chen Zong couldn't help but smile, feeling that he was thinking too wonderfully.

You must know that most of the Taoist thoughts that can be comprehended and mastered in the holy realm are only low-level Taoist ideas, basic Taoist ideas, and then they are slowly upgraded to intermediate-level Taoist ideas.

It doesn’t take many people to understand and master the intermediate level in one go.

The Heart Sword Dao Intent mastered by his own body and the Tiansha Dao Intent mastered by Shura's clone are at least intermediate Dao Intents.

I also want to master another intermediate level of Taoism, and my idea is somewhat beautiful.

Of course, if given the opportunity, Chen Zong would be very happy to master one more intermediate Taoist meaning.

After all, the mid-level Dao will is much better than the low-level Dao will in terms of potential and power.

"If after the first calamity of the Earth Fire Tribulation of the Three Calamities Sharpening Front, the half-step sword intention had the aura of earth fire, which would help me understand the meaning of fire, then will it also happen after the second calamity of the Heaven Wind Tribulation?

The breath of the sky wind can help me understand the meaning of wind, so will the third catastrophe of void thunder be the same, and can it help me understand the meaning of thunder?" Chen Zong had a sudden thought.

As we all know, the more extraordinary secret power you master, the more powerful it will be after fusion. At the same time, it also means the more amazing the potential of the practitioner.

But, it's difficult.

Each time you master one more extraordinary secret power, the difficulty increases exponentially.

It is also very difficult to integrate them.

As the advancement and transformation of extraordinary secret power, the meaning of Tao is even more obvious.

Who doesn't know the benefits of mastering more Taoist intentions? Once multiple Taoist intentions are integrated, even ordinary moves can be incredibly powerful.

However, it is not that easy to master one kind of Taoism, let alone multiple kinds.

A cultivator's time and energy are limited. Every day, every month, and every year, there will be no increase at all, unless you can enter some places where the flow of time is different.

But such great opportunities are rare and rare, and most practitioners will never encounter them in their entire lives.

It must be said that Chen Zong has a big heart.

Chen Zong was actually moved, thinking about whether he could comprehend the power of wind.

Considering the current strength of my soul, it is not difficult to comprehend and master an extraordinary secret power.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we have a chance." After some thought, Chen Zong rationally gave up this idea.

After all, if you want to comprehend the power of wind, you need to spend some time and energy, and once you comprehend it, your strength will not be improved.

The top priority is to improve the strength, and other things are more secondary.

Of course, if there is a suitable opportunity, Chen Zong will not miss it.

Keep practicing, and you don’t need to pay attention to the secret method of sharpening the edge for the three tribulations for the time being, because the next two tribulations will have to wait until you break through to the holy realm before practicing.

In addition, you also need to find sky wind and void thunder, which are more than ten times rarer than earth fire.

Time flew by, and finally it was time to gather at Xuanming Palace.

This time, they naturally set off in a group, escorted by the strong men of Xuanming City and Xuanming Palace, to avoid being attacked by dark forces such as Heisha and causing heavy losses.

There are dozens of strong people who have reached the Saint Realm. The last one is at the fourth level of the Saint Realm. Some of them are in the later stages of the Saint Realm and are very powerful.

The person leading the team is a ninth-level king-level expert from the Xuanming Palace who has entered the Saint Realm. At the same time, he is also a strong person with a high ranking on the Xuanban.

Under the escort of a group of strong men, the Underworld Prodigies did not encounter any attacks. The Black Evil Organization also knew that it would not be easy and would only cause heavy losses, which was not cost-effective in comparison, so they gave up the action.
