The summer heat is scorching and the sun is as hot as fire.
Outside the Jiange, there is a holy lake three hundred miles long, with clear water stretching to the sky and white mist like smoke. The lakeside is shaded by green bamboos and covered with strange flowers.
On the lake, there are bursts of bright light and sword auras.
Zhang Ruochen sat in the bamboo pavilion by the lake, drinking ancient tea with Chi Kunlun and Xuewu at night.
Charcoal is burning in the stove on the table, and the spring water in the pot is boiling.
Thirty steps away from the bamboo pavilion, there is a qin player covered with a white veil playing music. His skill is superb, and the sound is like the sound of mountains and rivers, and the white snow in spring. He is obviously a master of the qin sect.
According to Chi Kunlun, that was the sixth princess of the empire, Zhang Jingyu.
In other words, she is his sixth daughter and Zhang Ruochen's granddaughter.
Xue Wuye stared at the sword dancer on the lake and sighed: "Ten years is a small era, and a hundred years is a big era. Thousands of years have passed, and talented people have emerged, and a new generation has replaced the old ones. We are all old!"
"In the eyes of the mortal world, we are indeed old! But in the world of gods, we are just born." Zhang Ruochen said.
Chi Kunlun said: "Where is the difference between old and new? Isn't life about reproduction and inheritance?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Actually, it depends on the environment! If the environment is suitable for life to survive, life will choose to reproduce. On the contrary, if the environment is harsh and unsuitable for survival, life will pursue eternal life!"
"The Kunlun world is now prosperous, and new generations of talents are emerging in large numbers. Doesn't this mean that the internal environment is superior, stable and peaceful, and it has a prosperous atmosphere?"
Chi Kunlun said: "All of this is the result of the hard work of the great masters of the divine realm, especially the Supreme Master. It is his old man who has always been in charge of the Kunlun Realm, and the Kunlun Realm has enjoyed peace and prosperity for so many years."
Zhang Ruochen said: "Kunlun Realm not only needs the supreme leader, but also needs the efforts of generations. The older generation of monks will eventually pass away."
After a long silence, Chi Kunlun stood up and said, "Father, I'm ready to retreat!"
Zhang Ruochen looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Chi Kunlun said: "Kong Le went to the hell world in order to practice. Hongchen entered the Temple of Truth to retreat in order to practice. It is very possible that he broke through the boundaries of the rules of the forty trillion holy ways in one fell swoop and became another Yuanhui-level genius in this era.
.”
"Look at my little junior sister, she has only been practicing for a few years, and she has already reached the realm of the Great Sage Hundred Shackles. She is so powerful that her future achievements will not be inferior to those in the world of mortals."
"If I don't step down from the position of emperor and am delayed by the secular world, I will definitely be far away from them in the future. Gods should have their own way, and the secular world should be left to secular monks."
Zhang Ruochen picked up the tea cup, sipped it and said, "Make your own decision. There is no need to ask me for advice on this matter."
Chi Kunlun felt confident and his eyes became firmer.
"What are your plans for the future?" Zhang Ruochen suddenly asked.
Chi Kunlun said: "I want to go to the Dark Abyss to practice."
"Going to find your master?"
Zhang Ruochen learned the news from the Dragon Lord that the Yan clan of the Dark Abyss, under the leadership of the Wuqing Sect, had joined the sword world.
But Yan Wushen entered the abyss of darkness to practice hard!
Chi Kunlun said: "No! I think that the Dark Abyss is an excellent place for experience, which will help me improve my cultivation at a faster speed."
Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said: "Don't go to the Dark Abyss, go to the Space Temple! You are the controller of space, and your major is the way of space. If you don't practice in the Space Temple, it may be difficult to understand the true meaning of space."
Xue Wuye's face became weird and said: "The hatred you have formed with the Space Temple is not small! Besides, you found out that the Great Elder of the Space Temple was measuring the members of the organization. You won't forget it, right?
?The Liang Zun behind him has not been found yet! If Kunlun goes to the Space Temple to practice, it will be extremely dangerous."
"The Dark Abyss is only ten times more dangerous than the Space Temple. At least, on the bright side, he is safe."
Zhang Ruochen looked at Chi Kunlun and said, "What do you think?"
"Father wants me to go to the Space Temple to check for clues about the organization?" Chi Kunlun said.
"You are not qualified to fight with a Liangzun. You are just practicing here and...surviving."
Zhang Ruochen took out a divine talisman, handed it to him, and said: "When you leave, you can visit Lord Jie and ask for a relic of the ancestor. Whether you can get it depends on your ability!"
Chi Kunlun took the Divine Talisman and accepted Zhang Ruochen's arrangement.
On the lake, the sword light dispersed.
A stunningly beautiful figure sheathed her sword and emerged, stepping on a black and white Tai Chi seal like a dragonfly touching water. She was wearing a green Taoist robe, with long black hair and a wooden hairpin in a bun. She looked like a Lingbo fairy, without showing any pyrotechnics.
She flew outside the bamboo pavilion, bowed to Zhang Ruochen and said, "Master, how do you think of this set of bright swordsmanship that I created?"
Qing Qing is Zhang Ruochen's youngest disciple and the daughter of his senior brother Qing Xiao.
Although it has only been two hundred years since she became a disciple of Zhang Ruochen, she has spent a lot of time practicing in the sword pavilion. In fact, she has been practicing for more than a thousand years.
Now, he is in the Great Sage Hundred Shackles realm.
In fact, she has been able to break into the Thousand Questions Realm a long time ago, but she has been suppressing her cultivation in order to cultivate the perfect second-grade holy will.
"It only has its form, but it has not yet achieved the true meaning of light."
Zhang Ruochen's brief review.
Zhang Jingyu, who was playing the piano, was slightly shocked. He didn't expect his grandfather to be so strict.
Qing Qing is definitely the number one person in the new generation of the Kunlun Realm. She has achieved great fame in the Heavenly Court, forcing her fellow monks from all realms to bow their heads. Even Zhang Hongchen, the number one person in the secular world, felt the pressure and went to the Temple of Truth.
Retreat.
Monks from all walks of life in Heaven all said:
There is the Red Dust Sword in front, and there is the Green Fairy behind. There is another shocking guest from Kunlun, the first family in all the worlds and heavens.
However, such a stunning and strange woman created an inscrutable swordsmanship of light, but was judged as "in vain". Who would not be shocked after hearing this?
Zhang Ruochen changed the subject and added: "With your cultivation in the Hundred Flails Realm, it is not easy to combine the Way of Light with the Way of Sword and get its shape."
"Qingqing, you major in the path of light and the path of darkness, right?"
Qing Qing stood outside the pavilion, like a lotus plant clearing after the rain, it was naturally active and agile, carrying a vague sense of freedom, and said: "Disciple first practices the "Xiantian Dao Dharma", and then comprehends the Tai Chi Liangyi Dao left by the master.
Seal, from the two rituals, we understand light and darkness, life and death, white and black, heaven and earth."
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "Wuji gives birth to Tai Chi, and Tai Chi gives birth to Liangyi. Wuji cannot be explained in words, but if you understand Tao from Tai Chi, you may have the opportunity to cultivate the first-grade holy will. If you understand Tao from Liangyi, then second-grade holy will."
This is your limit!"
"This disciple has not seen Tai Chi."
Qingqing was originally calm and gentle, but her tone at this moment was full of regret.
Xue Wuye said: "It's already very good. How many monks are there in all the worlds? But in a Yuanhui, only one or two people can cultivate the perfect second-grade holy will. This Yuanhui is a great battle that is rare in all ages.
In this world, there are only five Yuanhui-level geniuses who have perfected the second-grade holy will!"
"The holy will of this junior has not yet been fulfilled." Qing Qing said.
Zhang Ruochen took out a Holy Intention Pill, suspended it in his palm, and slowly pushed it out.
"This elixir was refined by the Supreme Lord of the Yama Clan. It was obtained at the Huntian Banquet. It may be able to help you."
"You majored in light and darkness, and minored in swordsmanship. If you integrate these three paths, you will not be able to achieve the perfect second-grade holy will."
"The way of swordsmanship is masculine, you have to practice a way with feminine attributes to balance it."
Zhang Ruochen raised his hands, and between his palms, a Tai Chi four-image seal covering the entire sky appeared. It shrank rapidly, flew out, and was imprinted on a cliff beside the holy lake.
"As a teacher, I have perfected the Four Symbols. If you meditate on this mark, it should be more helpful for you to realize the Tao."
Qingqing said: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
Zhang Ruochen released all the secrets of light that he had taken from Ke Yangshan and other gods, and waved his sleeves into Qing Qing's body.
Suddenly, Qingqing's skin bloomed with holy white light, crystal clear, and her skin was like a fairy descending to earth.
"You want to create your own light sword technique, these secrets should be able to help you."
At the same time, the robe of light that once belonged to Ke Yangshan was re-refined by Zhang Ruochen and fell on her.
Everyone can see that Zhang Ruochen loves this youngest disciple and has high hopes for him.
Even the god Xue Wuye was envious after seeing it and wanted to become his disciple immediately.
Zhang Ruochen looked at Zhang Jingyu, who had stopped playing the piano and was about to leave, and knew the reason for Chi Kunlun's arrangement.
Zhang Ruochen stopped her and said: "Sixth girl, you practice spiritual power. Grandpa doesn't have much time to teach you. You can take this spiritual power pill!"
A divine elixir sank directly into Zhang Jingyu's body and sealed it in her heart.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Zhang Jingyu immediately hugged Qin and bowed deeply.
Zhang Ruochen felt strange in his heart. He accidentally became the ancestor of a clan. He clearly felt that he was still a passionate young man and had not experienced so many vicissitudes of life.
The auras of Lord Jie and the gods of the Thousand Star Civilization are getting closer and closer.
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, "You all should retreat!"
Xue Wuye, Chi Kunlun, and Zhang Jingyu left one after another.
Qing Qing took away the cliff with the Four Symbols of Tai Chi imprinted on it, and turned it into a green rainbow, with her clothes fluttering, and disappeared into the gate of the Jiange Tower.
Not long after, footsteps came thickly.
Accompanied by the voice of Venerable Jie who led the way: "Did you see him? He is right there. He is his true form!"
Various voices sounded: "Surround this place and don't let him escape!"
