After Ning Qi returned to Qingxu Jade City, she personally took charge and mobilized the entire city's military and civilians to rebuild the city. Everyone was a warrior, and they worked together in full enthusiasm. It only took ten days to bring this giant city back to life.
Then, Ning Qi wrote a memorial about everything that happened here, sent pigeons to deliver the message, and immediately sent it back to the capital of Daning. He also praised the heroic spirit of the soldiers who defended the city and rewarded them generously, and appointed Ma Mingyuan as the head of Qingxu Jade City.
On behalf of the city lord, other generals were also promoted.
As a sect elder, Zhan Chen was unable to accept the appointment, but because of his outstanding military exploits in the battle to defend the city, he was rewarded with a total of 10,000 top-grade Yuan stones and was treated like a hero. Ning Qi also granted him a whole year.
During the annual holiday, he was given a nice courtyard in the city so that he could have a good rest.
After receiving this reward, Zhan Chen was overjoyed. It turned out that after repeated battles, he felt that his strength had been fully accumulated. If he could get a retreat at this time, he might be able to enter the intermediate realm of Emperor Martial in one fell swoop.
So he happily rushed to his new home, which was located in the west corner of the city. It was relatively remote and had basically no damage from monsters before.
As soon as he got there, Zhan Chen saw a courtyard lying quietly among the green trees, and he was even more happy. He took out the key, opened the door, and stepped inside. He saw that the courtyard was full of birds and flowers, and it was so prosperous that it made people feel happy.
After watching it, I felt refreshed and happy, and I forgot how much sorrow and troubles I had.
Zhan Chen walked around for a while and became fully familiar with the basic functions of each room. Then he entered the main hall. There was a quiet and elegant training room, only more than thirty square meters. The spirit gathering array engraved in the room was also
Only intermediate level.
However, this is already very precious to Zhan Chen. If he wants to break through to the intermediate level of Martial Emperor, he does not need much accumulation of true energy, but needs an epiphany and an opportunity for breakthrough, and these inspirations have already been obtained in the previous continuous battles.
It happened repeatedly, but I was always in a state of tension, wandering between life and death, and couldn't sort out these insights.
After sweeping away the dust in the room and lighting up a piece of incense, Zhan Chen quietly sat on the futon in the middle of the training room, closed his eyes slightly, and began to run the Chaos Golden Yuan Art over and over again. For more than 20 years,
Since then, he has never stopped practicing, and he has also been in seclusion for three years. During this period, he has taken a lot of pills to improve his cultivation. At this time, his accumulation of true energy has reached the peak of the first level of the Martial Emperor.
Gradually, Zhan Chen entered a state of forgetfulness about things and myself. At this time, his thoughts were already exploring the depths of his memory. Countless cultivation, insights, battle experiences, and principles came to his heart like a spring, and were arranged and combined in his heart at a high speed.
arranging, rearranging
Suddenly, Zhan Chen seemed to have a new understanding of what yin and yang, what tai chi is, and what chaos is. As his understanding of these continues to deepen, the yin and yang diagram in his dantian is constantly being transformed.
After removing the redundant parts, it began to be highly condensed. Instead, it began to become more and more clear, but the previously vague Pisces lines on it became more and more clear. As the saying goes, the great way leads to simplicity, this is probably what he said. In his heart
There was a glimmer of understanding.
At this moment, the newly formed yin and yang diagram began to rotate at a high speed, and it rotated faster and faster, forming a small black hole in his dantian, and began to frantically plunder the true energy in his meridians.
This was about to break through. Zhan Chen suddenly woke up. He had not been fully mentally prepared before. After all, in his previous impression, the bottleneck of the Intermediate Martial Emperor was so strong. He thought he needed to put in more effort.
Now that he was ready to break through the bottleneck, Zhan Chen did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took out the elixirs and top-quality Yuan stones from the Qiankun bag to absorb them. Even so, he could barely keep up with the Yin-Yang Diagram's swallowing sea, and finally swallowed the Yin-Yang Diagram completely.
It took 10 fifth-grade elixirs and a small half of the top-grade Yuan Stone to reach the saturation state.
At this moment, the Yin-Yang Diagram suddenly stopped, and then began to rotate in the opposite direction, spurting out a large amount of true energy, and quickly rushed towards the bottleneck of the middle-level Martial Emperor. With a light poke, it pierced the seemingly stubborn
There were no bottlenecks and no obstacles were encountered along the way, as if everything happened naturally and fell into place.
Breaking through to the intermediate level of Martial Emperor, the true energy in Zhan Chen's body began to be concentrated and became thicker. It surged through the meridians and transformed his body. His energy and blood became more abundant and the meridians were broadened.
He became broader and tougher, his bones became stronger, his thinking became more agile, and his strength increased by 100,000 jins to 300,000 jins.
After the breakthrough was completed, Zhan Chen felt a sense of emptiness in his body, so he continued to use elixirs and yuan stones to replenish his true energy. It took another half a month to consolidate his cultivation; however, the breakthrough was not yet complete. Next,
It took two and a half months to replenish the sharp gold energy; it took another two and a half months to open the eighteen acupoints of the second level of the Spiritual Aperture Yunyuan Technique.
By the time he walked out of the room again, it was already half a year later. He had just seen the sun in the sky. Zhan Chen was still a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted. He clenched his fists and felt the warmth all over his body.
With abundant power, I was overjoyed. As soon as I broke through, I would probably be considered the best among the middle-level Martial Emperors.
Although Zhan Chen's strength is only 300,000 kilograms, when he fights, his efficiency is even more powerful and condensed than that of some ordinary people with high-level martial arts cultivation; and the second level of the Spiritual Aperture Yuanyuan Technique will
His total amount of true energy has increased by a full 50%, and coupled with various pressure-packing methods, he is very sure that he is no less powerful than a high-level Martial Emperor.
Somehow, at this moment, the handsome figure of Zhou Ziru seemed to appear in front of Zhan Chen's eyes, and his heart began to get excited, and he actually had the urge to find a fight with this genius right away.
But soon, he realized how ridiculous his childish and competitive idea was.
How could I have such an idea? Zhan Chen shook his head helplessly. He probably didn't realize that he had subconsciously regarded Zhou Ziru as a competitor.
After the breakthrough, he was in a good mood and went to the secluded woods on the outskirts of the city to try to see how much his strength had increased.
Facing the woods, Zhan Chen took out his long sword and was about to swing it immediately, but suddenly a gust of cool wind blew, making him feel a little chill. He saw a few dead leaves on the big tree in front of him.
Falling down with the wind.
The scene of the battle in Qingxu Jade City seemed to reappear in front of his eyes. The corpses on the city wall, the wails and trembling of the suffering people, who wanted to resist fate, but could not escape the helplessness of death. All of this
Everything turned into intermittent pictures, flashing before my eyes like a movie.
After that, his thoughts changed again, and the essence of the sword manual of Silent Killing Sword suddenly came to his mind. The passing of autumn and the scene of all things withering seemed to unfold before his eyes like a huge scroll.
At this time, Zhan Chen had a new understanding of the terrifying power of autumn. Yes, the artistic conception of autumn is just a natural phenomenon on the surface. But in essence, it represents a kind of death.
Power is an inescapable force of fate. Before fate and death, all life is insignificant.
He finally understood the artistic conception of autumn, which was a powerful dominating force and an extremely domineering will.
Gradually, Zhan Chen's entire spiritual temperament became completely different from before. His eyes became cold and his aura became higher and higher, just like the Creator who towered over all living beings.
At this moment, he began to draw his sword, and as soon as he struck out, the first form of the Silent Killing Sword technique, Autumn Arrival, appeared.
A sharp platinum sword energy swept through the jungle, with endless killing intent. Several trees were cut off by the roots where the sword passed, and the cuts were thin and flat. It seemed that the killing effect caused by ordinary sword energy was no different.
However, those who are proficient in martial arts will find that the vitality of these trees has been completely cut off. In other words, no matter how much they are grafted or how they are stimulated, they cannot be revived. Sure enough, the facts immediately proved this. After a while,
, the crowns of the chopped trees began to turn brown, and the leaves above began to fall off.
Suddenly Zhan Chen returned to his original appearance, looking down at the completely dead trees on the ground, thoughtfully, and then murmured for a long time: What a domineering swordsmanship, this is the real heaven-level intermediate swordsmanship.
Is it powerful? This set of Silent Killing Sword is really a set of death swordsmanship worthy of the name.
Next, he performed the entire set of Silent Killing Sword from beginning to end, and understood the essence. This sword technique was another world in Zhan Chen's hands. The power of the thirteen moves was more powerful than the last, especially at the end.
With one move of the Silent Killing Sword, a huge sword energy nearly twenty meters high was struck. Wherever it passed, hundreds of big trees were turned into powder and life was cut off.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen felt proud again. Suddenly, he thought of the old drunkard's Eight Drunken Immortals Sword. This set of swordsmanship is an upgradeable swordsmanship. Can he be upgraded to the mid-level heaven level with the Silent Killing Sword?
Woolen cloth
As soon as this idea came up, Zhan Chen was very excited. The middle-grade Zui Eight Immortals Sword, coupled with the Tai Chi Sword Intent that he had realized, wouldn't it be invincible?
He did what he said, and for the next nearly half a year, he spent almost all his time trying to integrate the Silent Killing Sword into the Zui Eight Immortals Sword.
But in the end, the result he got was: It was impossible that the artistic conception of Silent Killing Sword and the artistic conception of Zui Eight Immortals Sword were completely opposite, which meant that it was impossible for them to fuse.
However, through this attempt, Zhan Chen achieved a major gain. In the end, he concluded: It seems that not all sword techniques can be combined with the Zui Eight Immortals Sword. I will try my best to find those that contain the yin and yang of Tai Chi.
Combining the high-level spiritual swordsmanship with the Eight Drunken Immortals Sword, it is possible to make this set of swordsmanship with infinite potential even more powerful.
Seeing that the one-year vacation was over, Zhan Chen stayed at home and didn't know what Ning Qi would do for him next. Of course, he knew one thing, that is, His Highness the Crown Prince would definitely not let himself, a powerful middle-level Martial Emperor.
Those who are idle.
Sure enough, on this day, he received an uninvited guest at his home.
