March time flies by.

As promised by the old man, Zhuang Jiutian carefully taught the Vajra Ape how to practice for three months.

The fighting talent of the Vajra Ape is not weak. Under Zhuang Jiutian's guidance, he quickly grasped the essence of fighting.

If he wants to turn that fighting essence into physical instinct, he still needs to practice hard.

Forging the body in the Mingtan Pond is also an experience that must be completed, and under Zhuang Jiutian's suggestion, the Vajra Ape also needs to attract real fire to refine its bones, so that it can forge an indestructible Vajra body.

Moreover, he still needs to engage in fierce battles. Only fierce battles with different monks can truly inspire the ferocity in his body.

As a great demon, if there is no ferocity in his body that exceeds that of ordinary people, he is not worthy of being called the genius of the demon clan.

According to Zhuang Jiutian's estimate, after a thousand bloody battles, the Vajra Ape will be able to almost solidify his foundation. By then, it is possible to enter the Eight Forbidden Realm and become a true peerless genius.

"You are really good at it, little friend." During the days when Zhuang Jiutian was instructing the Vajra Ape to practice, the old man almost remained silent and never interfered with Zhuang Jiutian's teachings.

Now that the teaching was over, he sighed.

"Senior made me laugh." Zhuang Jiutian said with a smile.

"Since my little friend has fulfilled the agreement with me, I will take you to Sword Valley now."

The old man of the Jiaolong clan did not break his promise and immediately took Zhuang Jiutian to a sealed valley.

Just standing outside the valley, Zhuang Jiutian felt the endless sharp energy coming from the valley, as if the valley contained thousands of divine swords.

"This valley fell out of the void during the dark turmoil when Beidou was robbed.

A hundred years ago, our demon clan saint discovered this place and brought it back to light. However, the sword energy inside was too violent and was not suitable for non-sword cultivators to survive, so it was sealed.

Later, I, the great sage of the demon clan, once conducted research and verified that this place should be the small world of ancient sages that was moved from other places after the Qing Emperor became enlightened. It was once used as a sword fighting arena for the demon court.

But for some reason, this small world of saints was sealed. It wasn't until the Road to Immortality was opened, the dark turmoil broke out, and the Big Dipper was torn into pieces that it fell out of the cracks in the void again and merged with this valley.

There is also a legend, I don’t know whether it is true or not, saying that in the small world of swordsmanship, there was a Taoist sword monument left by Lingbao Tianzun. However, I, the great sage of the demon clan, did not find anything after investigating. "

The old man of the Jiaolong tribe not only sent Zhuang Jiutian here, but also introduced him to the situation in the Sword Fighting Valley.

The accompanying King Kong Ape said: "Grandpa Qing, why haven't I been here before?"

"You don't practice swordsmanship, so why are you here?"

"You can draw an analogy," King Kong said.

"The foundation has not been laid well. Whatever you touch, you will not be able to draw parallels." The old man said angrily. This is how spiritual practice is. When laying the foundation, don't think about drawing parallels. That is what you should do after you have achieved success in practice.

matter.

Otherwise, the foundation will become complicated, which will only cause disadvantages but no benefits.

On the side, Zhuang Jiutian, after listening to the introduction of the old man from the Jiaolong clan, couldn't help but recall a long-standing memory. In the ancient years, he helped Cancong Lanling cheat to win the game. The saint of the Qilin clan took out a piece.

The kendo monument left by Lingbao Tianzun.

That sacred monument has the spirit of killing the immortal sword. Could this demon clan's sword fighting arena be a small world of sages created by the ancient saints of the Qilin clan?

And the so-called swordsmanship monument is the swordsmanship monument that the ancient sage of the Qilin tribe brought back from the ancient star in the ancient times?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Jiutian's eyes lit up, and then he said: "Thank you, senior, for your advice."

"You have to be more careful. The rules of swordsmanship in the valley are very unique. The sword energy derived from it will corrode the monk's body and soul. If you don't practice swordsmanship, you will be in trouble if you stay in the valley for a moment longer. Moreover, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the valley is all gone.

It was inexplicably affected and became extremely violent and sharp."

The old man of the Jiaolong tribe repeatedly warned Zhuang Jiutian to be careful, but he had no intention of entering.

After the sword energy in the valley enters the body, it is very troublesome to get rid of it.

Afterwards, Zhuang Jiutian entered the Sword Valley alone.

What comes into view is not the valley, it's like entering another world.

Sure enough, it is a special area created after the small world of the ancient sages collapsed and merged with the Beidou world.

Walking in the valley, Zhuang Jiucai felt that the auras of heaven and earth were filled with endless tiny sword energies. If outsiders absorbed these auras of heaven and earth, they would probably be harming themselves rather than cultivating.

The territory is vast, and the essence of heaven and earth is extremely rich, at least three times that of the outside world.

But because there are traces of compound sword energy in the air.

As a result, the animals and plants that can survive in the valley have some compound sword energy in their bodies.

After careful reflection, Zhuang Jiutian discovered that the composition of those composite sword energies was extremely complex.

There are various realms and levels of sword energy, and it can be said that danger is everywhere.

However, that is for outsiders.

For Zhuang Jiutian, who has condensed his sword heart, this place is simply a unique holy land for cultivation.

It was just the place he needed to transform himself.

The sword heart can tame the ubiquitous sword energy in the air, making them softer, allowing Zhuang Jiutian to absorb the most essence of sword power contained in it.

Following the guidance of Jian Xin, Zhuang Jiutian came to the area in the valley where the sword energy and the essence of heaven and earth were the strongest.

There is a square paved with bluestone. In the square, thousands of huge stone swords are inserted, as if powerful swordsmen are competing here.

Those are the sword intentions left behind by those who fought swords here in the past.

Although there are no kendo scriptures on those stone swords, the sword intention contained in the stone swords is the natural kendo scriptures.

And it has lasted for tens of thousands of years. You can imagine how precious these sword intentions are that can be preserved.

There are not only standing stone swords in the square, but also many broken stone swords.

It seems that the sword intent they once carried has failed in the battles over the years.

When I walked in and took a look, sure enough, many of the stone swords were covered with secret cracks, as if they were about to collapse at any time.

This way of competing gave Zhuang Jiutian great inspiration.

Being strong for a while is nothing. Only being strong after years of baptism is the real strength.

Just like those supreme beings in the restricted area, who were once invincible in the nine heavens and ten earths, looking down on all living beings, seeking defeat but unable to win. However, with the baptism of time, when they faded away from the supreme aura given by heaven and earth, their true strength was exposed.

.

Sure enough, practice is not only about competing with the geniuses of the world, but also against the invisible years.

Only through the baptism of time can we know who is the real jade and who is the stubborn stone with a shiny surface.

Seeing those stone swords that still had high sword intent, Zhuang Jiutian knew that they were the victors. Although some of the sword intent did not look strong, their stamina was long-lasting and terrifyingly tough.

Even though tens of thousands of years have passed, those sword intentions have not dissipated, but have become even stronger after absorbing the sword intentions of the losers.

However, this is not consistent with common sense.

Sword Intent is the monk's sword will. It has a life cycle and will not devour other Sword Intentions by itself to grow.

There must be other means here to create this scene of sword fighting.

Because after ordinary monks die, the sword intent they leave behind will become weaker and weaker with the passage of time, and will not survive for a long time.

Only saint-level sword masters can endow their swords with an aura of incorruptibility, allowing the swords they left behind during their lifetimes to survive for many thousands of years.

But with so many stone swords on the square, it is impossible that they were all left by powerful men above saints.

Zhuang Jiutian carefully understood the subtle changes in this place through the sword's heart. Soon, he made an astonishing discovery.

Under the square, there was a secret imperial formation, and the base of the formation turned out to be the kendo sacred monument he had come into contact with.

In the square, the scene of thousands of swords fighting is the formation at work.

But why set up such a formation?

What is Qingdi trying to verify?

Is it another way to live forever?

Forget it, don't think about this anymore.

Zhuang Jiutian quickly came to the area where the sacred monument was buried, and then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice.

Three years have passed in a flash.

Zhuang Jiutian completed nine transformations in the other side of the world, and each time his physical body seemed to be cut into pieces by a thousand knives. The sword energy here really greatly blessed his practice.

It made his body much stronger.

After completing the secret realm of the Wheel and Sea, Zhuang Jiutian did not explore other places and continued to practice on the same spot. Not long after, his cultivation level entered the secret realm of the Tao Palace.

After entering the secret realm of Dao Palace, Zhuang Jiutian finally set off.

Those tens of thousands of stone swords that contain sword intent are his opponents.

From then on, Zhuang Jiutian began to compete with his sword.

One handful, two handfuls, three handfuls...

As Zhuang Jiutian wiped out the sword intent on more and more stone swords, his swordsmanship skills also increased rapidly.

In the Taoist Palace, the mysterious chanting sound never stopped.
