The ancient clock suddenly burst into dazzling light, followed by a deafening sound.
Boom!
A figure was ejected directly, throwing a parabola in the air. He was wearing a scarlet robe, and he was a disciple of the Xuanyan Sect.
At this time, the expression of the elder of Xuanyan Sect changed, and he stepped forward to catch the disciple.
For a moment, countless pairs of eyes stared at the young man.
Unfortunately, he was in a coma and motionless.
However, in the young man's arms, he held a metal fragment. On the copper piece, there were more than a dozen mysterious and ancient characters engraved on it.
The elder of Xuanyan Sect fed him a pill and then used spiritual power to awaken his mind.
Cough cough...cough...
When the young man woke up, he was startled and his face turned pale with fright. Except for the high-ranking elders, there were densely packed people nearby. He was being watched by everyone. The scene was so silent that no one even dared to breathe loudly.
"Tell me, what did you realize from the Taiqing ancient clock?"
Then, the elder of Xuanyan Sect took a deep breath and asked slowly.
At this moment, everyone pricked up their ears and remained motionless.
"Reporting to the elder, the disciple entered a giant gate, and then the spiritual power in the Dantian was completely drained, and he didn't know anything after that..."
The young man frowned, but his mind went blank. He didn't even know where the copper piece came from.
Sadly, his spiritual sea was in a mess, completely collapsed, and his cultivation was considered to have been abolished... The young man wanted to cry but had no tears.
It was originally a chance, but who knew it would end up affecting my own future... And the copper piece I exchanged for my life had already been taken away by the elders of the sect.
Boom!
At this moment, another figure was shaken out.
Everyone quickly focused their attention again.
This is a disciple of Wanjian Sect.
He also held a piece of metal fragment in his arms, also lost his memory, and his spiritual sea was shattered.
…
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Then, figures appeared one after another, with exactly the same situation, making the elders of the nine major sects stunned.
…
Zhao Chu fell to the ground, holding a piece of copper tightly in his arms. His face was also pale. He covered the world with purple clouds and covered the fifth spiritual sea into ruins, as if his cultivation had been abandoned.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the copper piece in his arms was taken away by an elder.
He casually used his surging spiritual power to explore his Dantian in various ways.
When they discovered that Zhao Chu's Dantian was shattered like the others, they ended the investigation.
"Are you a disciple of Tianci Sect?"
Zhao Chu woke up coughing and an elder asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Chu nodded with a fearful expression.
"I heard that you can defeat the disciples of the Tiangang Sect, why do you want to join the Tianci Sect?"
Another elder asked seriously.
"For [Tai Shang Dao Ji Chapter]."
Zhao Chu seemed to be taken aback.
"What about the Daoji chapter?"
Someone asked again.
Hearing this, Zhao Chu subconsciously looked at his arms, then looked sad and angry, but submissive.
"This, this... is lost."
Zhao Chu looked around blankly, his pupils red with anger.
"It seems that the situation is the same as that of other sect disciples."
After that, the elders ignored Zhao Chu and instead surrounded the city... The place where Zhao Chu appeared was closest to the Wulong Sect, so his metal piece was snatched away by the Wulong Sect. At this moment, the Wulong Sect was being besieged and reprimanded by the elders of other sects.
Seeing this, Zhao Chu sneered.
We are serious about our acting skills.
…
"If the old man's guess is correct, the combination of these metal pieces will form the complete Taiqing Ancient Bell, and the words on the copper pieces correspond to the light that the ancient clock lit up before... These words are the "Taishang Daoji Chapter"
!”
The clues were obvious. After thinking for a while, these elders made a pretty good guess.
After that, there were all kinds of wrangling and negotiations.
Zhao Chu had been practicing for three days and three nights overload, and he was exhausted at the moment. He didn't care, he wanted to get some sleep first.
"Brother, ah, I fainted."
Zhao Chu took one last look before going to bed and saw Ning Tianjiang running towards him.
…
Day after day, before I knew it, a month passed.
On the day when Enlightenment Day ended, the Nine Great Sects sent people to move the Taiqing Ancient Bell from the Tianci Sect's courtyard. It is said that the result of the negotiations was that each sect took turns to study it for a month.
And the ownership of Zhao Chu's piece of copper finally ended up in the hands of the Wulong Sect.
Under the shade of the tree, Zhao Chu looked decadent, peeling a corn cob in despair... This month, he stayed at Tianci Sect, accepting the exploitation of the head of the family with peace of mind.
Maybe he felt guilty for taking away the Taiqing Ancient Bell, or maybe he was afraid of Duan Xuehan in the imperial court... Before the nine major sects left, they all dropped harsh words. Anyone who dared to bully the Tianci Sect was an enemy of the nine major sects.
Because of this, the Tianci Sect was not retaliated by the Tiangang Sect, and the leader with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks even showed off his power.
Zhao Chu lowered his head, but there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth under the mask.
The fundamental reason why the nine major sects are doing this unnecessary thing is just to facilitate the observation of their own anomalies. They are afraid that they will be disturbed.
Fortunately, a month has passed, and Zhao Chu is like a useless person whose spiritual sea has been destroyed. He is confused all day long. Sometimes he stands on the roof of the building, as if he can't think of jumping off the building. The observers arranged by the nine major sects have finally withdrawn one after another.
Walk.
Of course, during this period of time, I haven't heard of any breakthroughs in the Daoji Chapter of the Nine Great Parties Taishang... Zhao Chu sneered in his heart, this so-called Daoji Chapter is just Shen Fusheng talking nonsense to confuse the public, how can it be useful.
During this period, Zhao Chu stayed up day and night, quietly consolidating the strength of the fifth level of Qi refining in his body.
Under the penetration of purple mist, Zhao Chu's nearly solid spiritual sea often roared wildly, often causing the heaven and earth to roar. This also made Zhao Chu troubled and he had to be careful, for fear that the nine major sects' spies would be alert.
He has also thoroughly studied the elixirs for restoring appearance.
This elixir recipe is so complicated that it can be called abnormal.
First of all, six kinds of spiritual fluids are needed as the base, and then six kinds of elixirs are refined, supplemented by six kinds of top-grade elixirs, in order to finally refine it successfully.
Zhao Chu can refine the six kinds of spiritual fluids with confidence.
Six kinds of elixirs are not just time-consuming.
Just those six elixirs.
There are only three kinds that can be bought at sky-high prices for gold coins, and the remaining three are considered treasures even in the foundation-building realm, and they are not willing to sell them.
But Zhao Chu is not panicking. As long as he has a direction, everything is just a matter of time.
"Junior brother, let me help you. It's all my fault for causing you trouble at that time. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have offended the Tiangang Sect."
Fang Sanwan often helped Zhao Chu with work. Zhao Chu was also moved by this half-hearted and often distracted young man.
In the Tianci Sect, there is an old man named Mo. It is said that his grandfather was the servant of Tianci Sect's senior brother Duan Xuehan. Three generations of their family have been servants of the Tianci Sect.
Speaking of which, Mr. Mo still looked proud.
As for the other disciples, they simply ate and waited to die, even eating with heavy chopsticks.
"Brother, I tried to persuade you but you didn't listen. Come and eat roast chicken and improve your life!"
At this time, a person walked in at the door.
Ningtian River.
Surprisingly, he did not become a disciple of any sect. Instead, he found a puppet-control sect with a full-time sub-professional occupation. This kind of sect recruits disciples widely, and all of them are auditors, and they only need to pay money.
There are no constraints, and sometimes I feel relaxed and at ease.
Ning Tianjiang started his business with Zhao Chu's two Qi Hai Dan, and made a lot of money in a short period of time. Now he not only repaid the loan from the Lian Dian Sect, but also created a large intermediary business, which impressed both Zhao and Chu.
This man actually had some conscience and did not deliberately stay away from Zhao Chu because of his loss of cultivation. Instead, he often came to comfort Zhao Chu and constantly thought of a way out for him.
Nightfall!
Zhao Chu was sitting cross-legged in the woodshed, his eyelids suddenly opened.
His spiritual power is incredibly strong and can radiate within a one-mile radius.
"Sure enough, all the spies from the Nine Great Sects left... The master is right, the Nine Great Sects are not fools. Within a month, they almost realized that the Taishang Daoji Chapter was fake. There is no need to continue playing tricks.
.”
Whoosh!
With a flash of black light, Zhao Chu disappeared from the woodshed.
He was going to the mountains ten miles away to hunt a kind of green leopard. The blood of the green leopard was the basis of six kinds of elixirs. The raw material of one of them, Cuixue Dan, must be the blood while it is hot.
This month, he secretly collected a lot of medicinal materials one after another.
Tonight, the first Cuixue Dan will take shape.
…
Deep in the mountains, a purple light flashed, and a giant green-spotted leopard was killed instantly. Before it could even howl in agony, Zhao Chu used a jade bottle to take a lot of blood.
"Cui Xuedan has the effect of removing scars and promoting muscle growth. There are eighteen medicinal ingredients in total. The final drug introduction is the blood of green spotted leopard... This month, you have been working hard step by step, but in the end you still showed your flaws."
"I've been waiting for you for three days and three nights in this place where green-spotted leopards hang out, and you finally couldn't bear it anymore."
"I have a piece of Mingji grass, which can also remove scars and build muscle. Can you tell me a secret?"
Before Zhao Chu could stand up, an eerie voice sounded from behind him.
"I do need Mingcao, but there doesn't seem to be a secret!"
"Don't just praise me. In order to avoid the nine major sects' spies, you have tried all your tricks and put in all your efforts. You are worthy of admiration."
Zhao Chu remained motionless, with a sneer on his lips.
The thing dormant in the darkest place finally couldn't help but come out.
Without the interference of the nine major sects, some people will not give up after all.
However, Mingjicao was a surprise... Among the six herbs that gave Zhao Chu a headache, Mingjicao was also difficult to buy.
"Since you are unwilling to cooperate and hand over the Taishang Dao Ji Pian, I can only capture you with my own hands, and then use the Soul Searching Technique. When you become a human stick, don't blame me, it's your own fault."
Boom boom boom boom!
As soon as the words fell, a violent sound caused the world to change color, and the tree trunks not far away broke. The man in black was so powerful that he suddenly superimposed nine layers of terrifying spiritual sea power.
Moreover, the skills practiced by this person are obviously extraordinary, and the spiritual power contains a sharp and stern sword energy, which is very extraordinary.
"A member of the Wanjian Sect?"
Zhao Chu frowned.
"It's okay to tell you. I have been practicing in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for 8 years and am ranked in the top ten of the Ten Thousand Swords Ranking... You crippled my brother's cultivation and secretly obtained the Taishang Dao Ji Chapter. You can deceive the elders, but you cannot deceive me.
.”
"My younger brother has a special constitution since he was a child. Although you cast an illusion, you can't hide it from him... Not to mention the nine major sects, even the Wanjian Sect is not worthy of receiving the Taishang Daoji Chapter. This opportunity belongs to me.
, I want to become the Eternal Nascent Soul Emperor, haha.”
The dense sword energy, roaring with the murderous intention, shrouded Zhao Chu like a poisonous snake, the ground cracked open, grass and trees flew... In all directions, there was no way to escape.
"As expected of a strong man on the Ten Thousand Swords Ranking, he is nearly a hundred times stronger than Feng Haoyan."
Every pore of Zhao Chu was trembling, and he seemed to feel the sharp killing intent.
Within each of the nine major sects, there is a list.
The top ten strong men on this list are all the strongest inner disciples every year. The foundations they will refine in the future are all spiritual foundations, and each one has the talent of golden elixir.
At the same time, Zhao Chu was also a little frightened.
As expected, this world is completely different.
That stupid young man from Wanjian Sect was actually able to resist Shen Fusheng's memory deprivation... Fortunately, this young man was also a thoughtful person and knew how to quietly tell his brother about the opportunity to avoid being snatched away by the nine major sects.
Thanks to his selfishness, if he was a fool and pointed out in front of the nine major sects that it was Zhao Chu who ruined his cultivation. At this moment, Zhao Chu might have been tied up and drained of his soul.
Life hangs on a thread.
"Since it's a life and death battle, then... one move can determine the outcome."
Zhao Chu casually left a branch.
The most basic sword technique of Wanjian Sect...Fourth Sword Order.
He bought this on the roadside in Xiangfeng City.
Buzz!
It was filled with purple energy, and sharp sword intent bloomed from the ordinary branches.
"The leakage of purple energy is indeed the foundation of Taishang Dao. It is indeed the foundation of Zixia... This is an opportunity that belongs to me alone, haha!"
"Hey...it turns out to be the sword art of Wanjian Sect...Haha, it turns out to be the Fourth Sword Order. It's ridiculous to do everything in front of me."
The disciple screamed strangely, and the sword light from all directions, like overwhelming arrows, instantly enveloped Zhao Chu... There was no gap in the sword's intention, and he took action without any mercy.
"If I didn't have Zixia's spiritual power, I might have no choice but to run away in panic when faced with this move... But unfortunately, under the foundation, I am unscrupulous."
Zhao Chu sighed secretly.
Then, there was a purple light and the sword came out like a dragon.
The earth was cut into two, and the ravines were deep.
The air was shattered heavily, and an explosion of sound sounded, as if even the space was collapsing.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Chu's figure stood behind the young man.
"Is the Four Sword Order vulnerable? It depends on whose hand the sword is in!"
A bloody hole appeared on the young man's neck.
"Why, why!"
Before dying, the young man's eyes were filled with disbelief.
The Fourth Sword Order is an inferior sword technique that only disciples of the outer sect can practice.
"Because, I really practiced [Tai Shang Dao Ji Chapter]!"
Zhao Chu threw away the branch and took the boy's storage bag.
Then, he stomped open the pit and buried the young man hastily.
