The man on the array is Liang Yan, and the woman beside him is Liu Rushi.
The two set out from Jade Belt City and traveled day and night. They used three long-distance teleportation circles on the way, but it still took them a full year to reach here.
Thanks to Liu Rushi, if she hadn't come forward, Liang Yan would not have the right to use this teleportation circle no matter how much he spent on the Immortal Yun Stone.
"Whose disciples are you?" Liu Rushi asked.
"Senior, we are all students of Master Luo Xian of Wanfa Academy."
"Luo Zhiqiu?"
Liu Rushi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, it turns out he is that old-fashioned disciple, no wonder he is so polite and considerate."
As soon as these words came out, the monks around the magic circle couldn't help but be stunned, with embarrassed looks on their faces.
After a while, one of the young men considered it and said: "Senior, you are also a member of the Confucian sect and have the same cultivation level as my teacher. Why do you want to humiliate your fellow sect?"
Liu Rushi was quite bored and yawned: "Okay, okay, you just think I'm talking nonsense and don't take it to heart. I came here this time to talk about Taoism in the virtual realm, otherwise I wouldn't want to set foot in your Cangwu."
territory."
After saying that, without waiting for the others to respond, he turned into a ray of light and left gracefully.
All the young monks present looked at me and I looked at you. They all had wry smiles on their faces for a moment, and they all looked helpless towards this Confucian senior.
Liang Yan could only smile and shake his head, bowed his hands to everyone, and then turned into light and followed Liu Rushi away.
The teleportation circle was established in the center of a prosperous fairy city.
This city is called "Luoxia City", and it is very large, a hundred times the size of Yudai City, and even compared to the Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities in Antarctic Fairy Continent.
The city is buzzing with people, and all kinds of monks are coming and going, either exchanging experiences, drinking tea and visiting friends, or shopping for treasures in the market... There are various ways of cultivating immortals.
The most interesting thing is that the monks who come here range from the foundation-building stage to the calamity-transformation stage.
The same city can not only meet the needs of low-level monks, but also attract high-level monks, and make everyone abide by the rules without any chaos.
I have to say that the governance of the Confucian League is really well organized!
Liang Yan was quite emotional, but he didn't stay too long. He activated the light to follow Liu Rushi, and soon left Luoxia City and flew northwest.
Half a day later, the two of them had left the town and entered the mountains and forests.
The scenery here is peculiar, with strange ancient trees growing everywhere. These ancient trees are more than a hundred feet tall, blocking out the sky and the sun, and their leaves are fiery red.
At a glance, it feels like entering an endless sea of fire, and even the sunset in the sky is reflected in a fiery red color.
"Is this Cangwu Realm? The scenery is really strange!" Liang Yan thought secretly in his heart.
Back then, Puji gave him a map, which divided Dongyun Lingzhou into seven regions. However, these seven regions were not labeled with names, and the division of power was also very vague.
It wasn't until this trip that Liang Yan figured out the topographic distribution of Dongyun Lingzhou from Liu Rushi's mouth.
It turns out that Dongyun Lingzhou is divided into seven major regions, namely: Lingxiao Realm, Cangwu Realm, Xinghanhai, Immortal Realm, Xuanbingyuan, Youmingyuan, and ancient ruins.
Among them, Cangwu Realm is where the Confucian League's main altar is located, and Cangjian Academy and Wanfa Academy are both established in this area.
As for Holy Spirit Academy and Qingfeng Academy, they are in the realm of immortality.
The biggest feature of Cangwu Realm is that there is a kind of strange ancient tree growing everywhere here, called "Red Sky Cangwu".
This tree can condense scattered spiritual energy, remove impurities, and transform it into pure spiritual energy for cultivators to practice.
It is also because of this characteristic that cultivation in this area is much simpler than in other places.
"The creation of heaven and earth is indeed a miraculous workmanship..."
Liang Yan flew away without forgetting to appreciate the scenery along the way.
There are still benefits to having a high level of cultivation. If you had not stepped out of Nanchui and been a frog at the bottom of a well, how could you have seen the greatness of the world? How could you have seen the wonders of all living beings?
He admired the beautiful scenery along the way, but Liu Rushi remained silent.
The two of them flew like lightning and fled for more than a month.
In the early morning of this day, the morning glow had just risen on the horizon, and Liang Yan saw a rolling mountain range in front of him.
There are all kinds of strange mechanical creations on this mountain range, as well as all kinds of buildings. These buildings and mechanical creations echo each other, forming countless magic circles!
There are small formations nested within the big formation, which are interlocking and changeable, making it impossible to figure out.
Liang Yan was quite talented with the magic circle, but after just one glance at it from a distance, he fell into it and felt dazzled and overwhelmed.
He only deduced a few of the changes, and he was already horrified.
His intuition told him that this was just the tip of the iceberg. If he continued to deduce it, he might die of mental and physical exhaustion...
"Is this the Cangjian Academy, one of the four major academies of the Confucian League?" Liang Yan murmured to himself.
Liu Rushi suddenly looked back at him and said with a smile: "Did you go to deduce the layout of the academy just now? I tell you, don't fall into it. This is the formation method taught by Yuzu, and it has many changes, even if you exhaust it all
It’s hard to tell even one thing about your mental strength, but don’t make yourself unhappy.”
"It turns out it was the plan set up by Yuzu!"
Liang Yan felt a little better inside and said with a smile: "It's just my knowledge that is superficial. Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me."
Liu Rushi smiled sweetly, said no more, and led Liang Yan to fly towards the mountains ahead.
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the top of the outermost mountain peak.
As the distance got closer, Liang Yan discovered that from here on, every mountain peak was connected to each other by rays of light. Although these rays of light did not have murderous intent, it was simply wishful thinking to blend into them.
While I was thinking about it, five monks suddenly flew out from behind the mountain peak. They were uniformly dressed as scholars and all had late-stage Jindan cultivation. They seemed to be the monks responsible for patrolling this area.
"Who is coming?" one of the young men asked loudly.
Liu Rushi didn't waste any time, took out a token from the storage ring and waved it towards the opposite side.
When the young man saw the token clearly, his expression changed and he immediately showed respect.
"It turns out to be Senior Liu. I'm sorry! I am Zhang Qian, who is responsible for patrolling this area. I wonder why Senior came to my Sword Hidden Academy?"
Liu Rushi put away the token and said calmly: "I was ordered by the Confucian League General Forum to preside over the recruitment assessment of Yudai City. This person beside me stood out. He chose to join your Hidden Sword Academy, so I brought him to you.
Already."
Zhang Qian was slightly surprised after hearing this.
You know, the monks sent by the four major academies to preside over recruitment assessments usually try their best to recruit talents for their academies. Unexpectedly, Liu Rushi actually brought people to the Hidden Sword Academy.
There is only one possibility for this situation...
Zhang Qian looked at Liang Yan and thought to himself: "It seems that this senior is also a swordsman! And his strength is not bad. I can't offend him."
Thinking of this, he immediately raised his hand to Liang Yan and said with a smile: "Congratulations, senior, for passing the recruitment assessment. After you register later, you will be a member of our academy. I wonder if senior will give lectures? I, the junior, must go and listen.
Teaching.”
Liang Yan didn't expect this boy to be so good at getting close to him, and couldn't help but laugh.
He paused for a moment and said calmly: "Lu has little talent and little knowledge. This time I came to the Hidden Sword Academy mainly to listen to the teachings. Teaching and teaching is not what I am good at."
After hearing this, Zhang Qian showed a disappointed expression: "It's a pity. I wanted to see the seniors, but it seems that the juniors don't have such a good fortune."
"Okay, stop flattering me here!"
Liu Rushi showed an impatient expression and said calmly: "I sent people all the way here and let us in quickly. After I have settled Brother Lu, I have to go to the Confucian League Headquarters to resume my life."
"yes."
Zhang Qian and others did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly cast spells to open the outer defensive barrier. At the same time, they took out two different jade pendants and handed them to Liu Rushi and Liang Yan respectively. "These are the identity jade pendants of the two seniors. As long as you follow the directions on the jade pendants, you can find the location of Juxian Pavilion."
The Juxian Pavilion was originally a place used by the Cangjian Academy to recruit disciples, but it has not yet reached the time to recruit people, so it is temporarily idle and is used by the academy as a registration place for virtual realm discussions.
Liang Yan reached out to take the jade pendant, looked down, and found a red line on it, and the end of the red line was Juxian Pavilion.
"Thank you!" Liang Yan slightly arched his hands.
"What nonsense are you talking to them about?"
Liu Rushi snorted coldly and flew into the Hidden Sword Academy without looking back.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan could only sigh slightly, then he flashed and entered the academy as well.
Once inside, there was no barrier of forbidden laws, and Liang Yan could see countless exquisite attics and courtyards.
There are many classes in the attic, either a teacher in the Jindan realm is explaining the art of Jian Gang, or a teacher in the Tongxuan realm is teaching students the method of condensing Jianwan. What is learned and taught in each area is different, and the practice
Each swordsmanship also has its own mystery.
At this moment, Liang Yan suddenly felt like he had found someone of the same kind.
Swordsmanship is difficult, and swordsmanship is even rarer!
I didn't expect that there is such a place in the world, where teachers teach, explain students' doubts, and classmates study together and discuss various problems in the way of swordsmanship...
This is unimaginable in Antarctica.
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Rushi suddenly asked with a smile.
"I didn't think about anything. I just thought that the atmosphere of the Sword Hidden Academy was good. It is indeed the holy place that sword cultivators in the world dream of." Liang Yan said sincerely.
"Haha, how difficult is it to follow the path of sword cultivation? People in the world are attracted by people like the crucian carp crossing the river, but the ones who are truly talented are very rare. I think you have a good talent, and I hope you can continue on this path."
After hearing this, Liang Yan smiled casually: "Thank you Taoist friend for your kind words!"
The two of them kept talking, and the red line on the jade pendant soon came to an end.
On the mountain peak ahead, a magnificent attic appeared. There was a plaque directly above the attic, which read: "Juxian Pavilion" in three characters!
"We're here."
Liu Rushi smiled slightly, turned off the light, and came to the door with Liang Yan.
It's very deserted here, not a soul can be seen for hundreds of miles.
Liang Yan followed Liu Rushi into the attic and found that there was only one person inside.
This person is a young man, with eyebrows like ink paintings and a face like a crown jade. He is dressed as a scholar. He is sitting on a mahogany table and sleeping soundly.
He propped his head up with his hands and closed his eyes slightly. There was an incense burner placed next to him, with light green smoke lingering around him, like clouds covering the fog.
"Ahem!" Liu Rushi coughed.
The scholar seemed to be aware of it, his eyelids twitched slightly.
The next moment, he yawned lazily.
"well!
The mood on the couch is sweet, and the sun is getting late outside the window.
Incense and seals are lingering on the desk, and the spring breeze is blowing willow silk.
The ink is light and the thoughts are far away. Who knows?
The clouds are floating, the shadows of flowers are moving, and the deep dreams are entering new poetry..."
Without opening his eyes, the man shook his head and composed a poem on the spot. After singing, he stretched again and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Oh? Isn't this the 'Qin Burning Fairy' Liu Rushi? A rare visitor, a rare visitor! How come you have time to come to our Hidden Sword Academy?"
"Huh, do you think I'm being rude? You Hidden Sword Academy are either hypocrites or scoundrels. If I hadn't accepted the order from the Confucian League General Forum, I wouldn't have bothered to come to Cangwu Realm." Liu Rushi's tone was cold, without any good looks on his face.
But the scholar didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Well done, Fairy, well done! Our Sword Hidden Academy is indeed not a place for humans. Fang doesn't want to join in, and has long wanted to leave here! I don't know what the Fairy is doing.
Can Holy Spirit Academy still accept people? Fairy Youlao, please accept Fang."
Liu Rushi was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this.
She didn't expect this person to be such a scoundrel. He was just trying to take advantage of him. Some of the sarcastic words she had prepared could not be uttered at this moment.
After a pause, Liu Rushi snorted: "Fang Xi, our Holy Spirit Academy will not accept scoundrels like you. It will ruin its reputation in vain!"
"Hahaha!"
The man named "Fang Xi" was not annoyed at all. Instead, he laughed loudly and then turned to look at Liang Yan.
"May I ask who this is?"
Without waiting for Liang Yan to answer, Liu Rushi said first, "His name is 'Lu Xuanji', and he stood out in the talent recruitment assessment in Yudai City. Because he is a sword cultivator, he chose your Sword Hidden Academy."
After hearing this, Fang Xi immediately showed an expression of interest.
"Oh? Your Excellency is also a sword cultivator?"
While speaking, he looked at Liang Yan with bright eyes.
The two looked at each other from afar.
In an instant, Liang Yan felt the opponent's sword intent surging, and his body exuded a fierce aura, as if an invisible sword was slashing through the air towards him!
"Um?"
Liang Yan's expression changed, and he subconsciously cast a spell, condensing a mana barrier in front of him.
But the invisible sword was not affected by mana at all and penetrated the mana barrier without any hindrance. It also penetrated Liang Yan's heart.
"you!"
Liang Yan was shocked and hurriedly used his magic power to explore the situation inside his body.
But what surprised him was that his body was completely intact, with no sword wounds at all, as if everything that had just happened was just his imagination.
"How could this happen? You just..."
Liang Yan raised his head and looked at Fang Xi opposite him with a bewildered look.
But Fang Xi was smiling and looking at him with interest, seemingly not intending to explain.
Just when Liang Yan was confused, a bitter feeling suddenly appeared deep in his heart...
At the beginning, it was just a faint feeling.
But soon, as scenes from the past emerged in front of his eyes, this bitter feeling quickly overflowed, and finally completely submerged him like the tide of the sea!
