The first thousand three hundred and eighty-two chapters are concerned
In dark space.
Chen Xi sat cross-legged, his brows sparkling with wisdom.
In his mind, he was trying his best to deduce the kendo aura of the old man in sackcloth.
Chen Xi, who has been immersed in the Tao of Talisman for many years, has definitely surpassed the level of a great master of the Tao of Talisman in terms of his power of deduction. This also makes him more powerful than other immortal cultivators when it comes to deducing and understanding everything around him.
Although it cannot reach the point where "when a thought comes out, heaven and earth cannot cover its heart", it has been able to reach the level of "seeing the smallest details, and observing thousands of wonderful truths with a grain of dust".
Just like right now, as he continued to deduce, a rudiment of sword energy gradually appeared in his mind. Although it was extremely vague, he had already grasped a trace of it.
This trace of sword energy is the sword technique used by the old man in sackcloth. Although it is only a trace, Chen Xi is confident that as he continues to perfect this ray of sword energy, he will have the opportunity to peek into its true secret!
"The third test begins!"
In the dark space, that cold voice sounded again.
Whoosh!
Chen Xi was completely awake and appeared on that platform.
At this moment, his expression was calm, the energy in his body was moving silently, operating to the extreme, and his mind was empty and clear.
Fear, life and death, tests, Tao Emperor's inheritance and recognition...all were abandoned, and there was only one thought left in my mind - defeat the opponent!
On the opposite side, the old man in linen clothes looked as indifferent as before. When he saw Chen Xi appear, he pointed the Snow Drinking Immortal Sword in his hand from a distance. With such a simple movement, a terrifying sword energy spurted out.
Whoosh!
The void was shattered, the avenue was opened, the sword energy was calm, but it had an aura that could dominate the world and could not be stopped by anything.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
That touch of sword energy was reflected in Chen Xi's black eyes, reflected in his mind, and turned into a sharp arc like lightning, disappearing in a flash!
boom!
A sharp pain that penetrated the soul surged through his body again. Without exception, this time he was "obliterated" by a blow again, and he once again tasted the great horror of life and death in the blink of an eye.
Then, he returned to the dark space.
But this time he didn't scream in pain, didn't feel angry, didn't feel confused, and didn't feel unwilling.
As soon as he failed, he sat cross-legged, seemingly forgetting the severe pain in his body, and instantly focused all his attention on the sword energy reflected in his mind.
This time, Chen Xi still failed to lock on to that touch of sword energy, but he could more and more clearly observe the trajectory, aura, momentum, and even a unique force of will of that touch of sword energy!
This cheered him up.
The first sword made him fully understand the strength of his opponent.
The second sword made him realize instantly, and he began to deduce a ray of aura in his opponent's sword, allowing him to glimpse a vague prototype of his opponent's sword aura.
And with this third sword, he finally realized the more secrets of that sword energy. Although it was still vague, this kind of progress was enough to give Chen Xi a glimmer of hope. He would no longer be like before because the opponent was too
If you are too strong, you will feel unwilling and angry.
Nowadays, the only thing that makes Chen Xi's heart palpitate is still the kind of terror after being "obliterated" in an instant, which reaches his soul in the blink of an eye. Even if he has the consciousness to resolve it, he cannot completely ignore it for a moment.
After all, this is life and death!
And Chen Xi also clearly realized that when he was fearless about life and death, that might be the moment when he counterattacked.
…
"The fourth assessment begins."
"The fifth assessment begins."
"The tenth time..."
"The thirtieth time..."
"The fiftieth time..."
As time went by, Chen Xi was ruthlessly "erased" again and again, and experienced life and death one after another in a very short period of time.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have been tortured by this great horror between life and death and would have suffered a nervous breakdown. However, Chen Xi had already had a clear understanding of this and focused all his attention on deducing the swordsmanship of the old man Mai.
, the fear in his mind did not bring much impact to him.
But that feeling is still like a bone stuck in the throat, making it difficult to swallow.
"It turns out that his swordsmanship has reached the level of a sword god..."
"It turns out that the so-called heart of the sword is to move according to the heart. If it does not exceed the rules, there will be no rules. Only without rules can it penetrate life and death and control the law... and only then can it be the supreme truth of the perfection of the Sword God!"
"It turns out that will can be used like this..."
Every time he experienced "life and death", Chen Xi gained a different understanding. Although it was small, when these small experiences were accumulated together, they were enough to cause a qualitative transformation!
Right now, Chen Xi is waiting for this transformation to come.
…
Outside the Daohuang Ancient Land.
Hua Jiankong, in gray clothes and white hair, stood proudly on the top of the Cang Ancient Immortal Mountain, his eyes were deep and menacing, as if he had seen through everything in the Dao Emperor Ancient Land.
"Have you all entered the Tomb of the Immortal King?"
Two figures came out of the sky, and they were Wang Daolu and Zuoqiu Taiwu.
"Um."
Hua Jiankong nodded.
"Oh, what kind of royal tomb did those little guys choose?"
Wang Daolu was curious and said that after Chi Cangsheng went into seclusion, he would be responsible for all affairs of the inner court, that is, he would take charge of the duties of the dean of the inner court.
But obviously, his thoughts today are not in the inner courtyard, but in the ancient imperial land.
Not only him, but now many old antiques are paying attention to this place silently, but they don't appear here like Wang Daolu and Zuoqiu Taiwu.
After all, the Dao Emperor's inheritance is buried in the ancient land of Dao Huang, and the Dao Emperor is the founder of the entire academy. His inheritance is of extraordinary significance to the entire academy.
"Ling Qingwu chose the avenue of wood."
"Nie Xingzhen chose the Avenue of Wind."
"Gu Yueru chose the avenue of water."
"..."
Except for Chen Xi and Ye Tang, Hua Jiankong quickly introduced everyone else's situation.
"Yes, these little guys are quite smart. Among the three thousand king tombs, the tombs representing the five elements, yin and yang, wind and thunder are the easiest to pass through."
Wang Daolu nodded appreciatively.
Zuoqiu Taiwu, who had been silent all this time, asked: "Where is Chen Xi?"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Jiankong, who had always looked cold and indifferent, suddenly turned his head and glanced at the other party.
And Wang Daolu also had a strange look on his face.
Regarding this, Zuoqiu Taiwu's expression remained the same as before. There was no emotion on his extremely old face, but in his heart he knew very well that the reason why the other party reacted like this was that in today's fairy world, almost everyone
Everyone knew that Zuo Qiukong died in Chen Xi's hands.
The fall of Zuoqiu Linghong was also closely related to Chen Xi. It can be said that the living beings in the immortal world today have long regarded Chen Xi and the Zuoqiu clan as hostile entities.
Now, as a member of the Zuoqiu clan, he took the initiative to ask about Chen Xi, which would naturally arouse some thoughts from others.
"Chen Xi has entered the tomb of Lord Sword." Hua Jiankong was silent for a moment and then answered.
"What?"
"Sword Master?"
"How could this kid be so stupid! That is the most dangerous level in the Tomb of the Three Thousand Immortal Kings. From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to pass it!"
"Originally, I was still thinking that this son might be recognized by the Dao Emperor's inheritance for this test, but now it seems... something is not good."
"Don't be so pessimistic. Don't forget that many miracles have happened to this little guy. I'm really looking forward to whether he can open our eyes this time."
As Hua Jiankong's voice fell, not only Wang Daolu and Zuoqiu Taiwu, but also the sound of thoughts talking in the void in all directions.
Obviously, those are old antiques in the academy and have been paying attention to this place silently.
"Sword Master... it's indeed a bit tricky."
Wang Daolu frowned, but glanced at Hua Jiankong intentionally or unintentionally. He knew very well that Hua Jiankong had also chosen to enter the Daohuang Ancient Land back then, and chose Master Sword as his opponent, but ultimately failed and returned.
"Not only is he a troublesome person, he is the only Immortal King among the Three Thousand King's Tombs who has set foot in the realm of the Sword Emperor. When I fought against him with the cultivation level of a great master of Sword Dao, I was defeated by him and completely separated from the Dao Emperor's inheritance.
No chance."
Hua Jiankong spoke calmly, and no emotion could be heard, "But it was precisely because of that experience that I stepped into the realm of the Sword God after returning from the Daohuang Ancient Land."
Seeing that he actually took the initiative to admit this past incident, both Wang Daolu and Zuoqiu Taiwu were slightly startled. They thought that this guy is a sword fanatic. Even he is no match for the Sword Master, let alone Chen Xi.
"That Ye Tang is not bad either. He has chosen the Lord of the Sword Domain as his opponent. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, when he returns from the Dao Emperor Ancient Land, he may be able to make another breakthrough in the Sword Dao."
Hua Jiankong suddenly spoke again, causing those old antiques who paid attention to this place to marvel again.
But it was obvious that the old antiques were more interested in Chen Xi's performance than Ye Tang's confrontation with the Lord of the Sword Domain.
"How many times has this child failed?"
Wang Daolu couldn't help but ask.
"Three hundred and seventy-two times."
Hua Jiankong was silent for a moment and then said a number.
"More than three hundred times, it's okay, okay, there's still a chance..."
Wang Daolu murmured.
"Ling Qingwu has passed the test of Wang Zhong and entered the area where the Immortal Ming's Coffin is located." Hua Jiankong didn't say anything, but when he did, he shocked the whole audience and caused an uproar.
"This little girl is indeed remarkable. Taoist Aunt Jiang has taken on a good disciple."
"I heard that this little girl has advanced to the Saint Immortal Realm. I don't know whether she is stronger or weaker than Chen Xi."
"Perhaps this time it is really possible for her to get the Tao Emperor's inheritance recognition."
"It's too early to tell. The coffin of Immortal Ming is densely covered with many supreme restrictions. It is said that it can be buried for nine days and ten places. It is difficult for her to pass it alone."
"Yes, when the dean passed through the coffin of Immortal Ming, he also cooperated with the old phoenix and Canglong to arrive at the blood pool of the dead. It was a bit difficult to do it by one person alone."
Hua Jiankong turned a deaf ear to all of this. His mind was on the Dao Emperor Ancient Land, and he had been paying attention to the changes in each disciple.
Especially Chen Xi, he was paying attention to him almost all the time.
He was looking forward to the fact that Chen Xi could do what he failed to do back then.
