At the edge of the pool, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru made final preparations for seclusion. They dug a small puddle beside the pool and introduced the spiritual liquid in the pool into it, so that the spiritual liquid just covered the chest, and then
They both entered the puddle and sat down cross-legged.
Sitting in the puddle, surrounded by the essence of green vegetation, Zhan Chen felt comfortable all over his body, as if the serious injuries on his body were recovering bit by bit, and the energy contained in the soul was also passing through the skin, bit by bit.
It entered his body drop by drop, gradually improving his physique and increasing his strength. This process was as slow and continuous as spring rain moistening things. Everything seemed natural, and naturalness was the best effect pursued by warriors.
Then, he took out the Minghua Ningzhu from the Qiankun bag and took a bite. The Minghua Ningzhu entered his mouth, melted in his mouth like ice cream, entered his stomach along the esophagus, and then flowed throughout his body.
, Zhan Chen suddenly felt that his blood began to boil, and his whole body began to heat up, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
This small mouthful of Minghua Condensation Bead has an astonishing amount of energy, which is equivalent to an eighth-level primary elixir, but its medicinal power is much milder than that of the elixir. If the domineering power of an eighth-level elixir is compared to
If it is the hot magma that makes people feel unbearable, then the medicinal power of Minghua Ningzhu is like the sun in the cold winter, which will only warm people.
The huge energy formed by the Minghua Condensation Beads accumulated in Zhan Chen's body. He quickly used his energy to absorb it. One month passed, two months passed, and one year passed. Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru fell into long-term and deep seclusion.
As the saying goes, you don’t know the years in cultivation. A whole ten years passed by so suddenly. Ten years were like a dream. One day ten years later, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru opened their eyes almost at the same time, looked at each other and smiled.
They saw infinite satisfaction and strong self-confidence in the eyes of both parties.
Because they have both entered the realm of the Martial Emperor's high level, and they are not the first-time Martial Emperor's high-level experts, but the Martial Emperor's peak powerhouses. They are only one step away from entering the Martial Emperor's Great Perfection.
However, the greenery of the pool they were in had faded away, leaving only the crystal clear water without even a trace of energy fluctuations.
Meeting Zhan Chen for the first time ten years later, the first words Zhou Ziru said was not a greeting, but a challenge: Zhan Chen, let’s have a competition first. I really want to know how strong you are after breaking through to the high level of Emperor Martial.
Zhan Chen glared at him fiercely and said: I don't want to compete with you.
What, are you timid? This is not like you, Zhan Chen.
Haha, why should I be afraid of you? It's just that your improvement has been completed, but mine has not yet ended. Zhan Chen smiled proudly at him.
Oh, you can also improve Zhou Ziru’s eyes with a hint of disbelief.
Of course, do you still remember my set of defensive martial arts? It is infinitely upgraded as my realm improves. This is a defensive martial arts that can be advanced. But Zhan Chen revealed the secret of the Phaseless Golden Body Art.
The Phaseless Golden Body Art is one of the foundations of his strength. He has never mentioned it to anyone before, but today he mentioned it to Zhou Ziru, which shows that he has truly regarded this pretty-faced and pushy warrior as his own.
He killed his own brother, so of course the secret could only go so far.
Are there any defensive martial arts that can be advanced like this? A trace of disbelief flashed in Zhou Ziru's eyes.
If you don't believe it, just wait and see. Zhan Chen took out a handful of ordinary imperial weapons from the Qiankun Bag and began to absorb the sharp golden energy in them. It was no regrets. Nowadays, he has many such imperial weapons. Just the Ten Thousand Poison Cave
In one battle, he obtained more than two hundred.
Next, in Zhou Ziru's view, a magical scene happened. The surface of the imperial artifact gradually lost its luster, and after half a day it was reduced to a pile of scrap metal.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziru shook his head and sighed: Zhan Chen, this set of skills you practice is simply too expensive. This is an imperial weapon. It is worth at least two to three million high-grade Yuan stones. That's it.
Got sucked dry by you
Zhan Chen did not answer him, but took out a third-grade imperial weapon from the Qiankun bag and began to refine it.
Hey Zhan Chen, this third-grade imperial weapon is worth at least five to six million high-grade yuan stones. You are wasting it, right?
Zhan Chen ignored him and continued to go his own way.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and Zhan Chen had eaten as many as one hundred and twenty-eight imperial weapons. By the end, Zhou Ziru was numb.
Three months later, Zhan Chen finally stopped, stood up, looked at the pile of useless swords in front of him, nodded with a smile, and praised: The efficiency of absorbing the imperial weapon is indeed extraordinary. If it absorbs
With ordinary weapon refining materials, it would take me at least a year of practice to perfect the Phaseless Golden Body Art, but now it only takes three months.
At this time, Zhou Ziru, who had been waiting impatiently, said: Zhan Chen, this time you can finally fight with me.
Zhan Chen couldn't help but laugh and said: Sorry, I have to retreat.
Zhou Ziru held it back with great difficulty, tried his best not to explode, and asked: What is it this time?
Zhan Chen, who used the Spiritual Aperture Yuan Yuan Technique to increase the total amount of true energy, said excitedly that after the breakthrough, he felt that he had several acupoints that could be broken through. So, he started to retreat again.
After another three months, Zhan Chen finally stood up with satisfaction. This time he broke through ten more acupoints, and his true energy increased by more than 60%. Feeling the surge of energy all over his body, he felt that he was stronger than ever before.
, hurriedly took out the Shark Hunting Sword and grabbed it in his hand. Finally, the embarrassing incident of dropping the sword on the ground did not happen like the last time. Instead, a feeling of satisfaction emerged spontaneously.
Zhan Chen felt that his strength now reached 450,000 kilograms, which was not far from the Great Perfection state of Emperor Wu.
Holding this ninth-grade sword in hand, he was full of pride, threw away his arms, and performed the thirteen moves of the Silent Killing Sword from beginning to end, making the sword whistle continuously.
Unconsciously, a ferocious and murderous spirit grew in Zhan Chen's heart, and gradually infected his mind, making him excited and violent.
Suddenly, Zhan Chen woke up and was shocked: What's wrong with me? Why do I suddenly want to kill people so much? And this feeling can't stop at all. Could it be the Shark Hunting Sword?
He began to carefully observe the state of the Shark Hunting Sword during the use, and finally discovered the anomaly of the sword. When true energy was injected into the sword, it would be actively contaminated with a black and red turbid atmosphere. Zhan Chen felt that black and red breath.
What I feel in my breath is a dark and negative emotion.
At this moment, he finally understood that the Shark Hunting Sword was essentially a vicious sword. To be precise, it could only display exponentially more lethality in the hands of a demonic cultivator, while its power would be suppressed in the hands of a decent person.
But Zhan Chen felt that the power of the Shark Hunting Sword had not decreased in his hands. The reason was that the Chaos Golden Yuan Art he practiced contained this dark and turbid energy, and this part of the energy could become a powerful nutrient for the Shark Hunting Sword.
.
When the ferocious sword Shark Hunter is replenished with true energy, it will in turn affect the mind of the user, leading them into the abyss of depravity and becoming a murderous demon. Therefore, Nie Wei held it and, over time,
He became a ruthless gang leader and treated his subordinates the same way.
Humph, are you kidding? How could I be controlled by your little sword? Zhan Chen, who came to learn about the Diamond Sutra, immediately recited this Buddhist scripture silently in his heart, a firm and bright belief.
Suddenly, he dispelled all the negative emotions that the Shark Hunting Sword had brought to him.
After that, Zhan Chen wielded the Shark Hunting Sword even more boldly, exerting its power to the extreme. It was truly invincible and unrivaled.
After performing a set of sword techniques, Zhan Chen still couldn't calm down in his chest for a long time. In the blink of an eye, he saw Zhou Ziru not far away who seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed and practicing quietly: Ziru, now I'm ready, I can fight with you.
, come on
However, Zhou Ziru still had his eyes closed, seeming to be deep in cultivation.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen said angrily: Ziru, please stop pretending. I will use my sword skills nearby, and you can practice with peace of mind. Let's have a competition. It's not like you had to compete with me just a few months ago.
Shall I hit you?
Zhou Ziru then opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said angrily: That was a few months ago, and now I just thought of competing with me. It’s too late and I’m not interested anymore. Besides, you’ve also practiced that phaseless gold.
Shen Jue Ling Qiao Yun Yuan Technique, and I also have a shark hunting sword in my hand. It's not fair to fight. I'm not a masochist.
After hearing what he said, Zhan Chen touched his head and smiled. It was indeed true. He had the fierce sword hunting shark in his hand, and Zhou Ziru was probably no match for him.
As a result, the fight finally came to an end after repeated delays.
Next, the problem that stands in front of Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru is how to leave the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.
Zhan Chen first asked Zhou Ziru: Ziru, you came from another direction, did you find any shortcut to leave?
Zhou Ziru recalled: At first I wanted to follow you into the cave, but I was accidentally disturbed by a slashing sword energy. When I rushed to the entrance of the cave, I found that the road was blocked by rocks. Later, that
The cave collapsed due to the battle. I followed Nie Wei and others here, but instead of entering the cave with the group of guys, I turned to a nearby cave entrance and lurked to watch the gangsters bite the dogs. What happened next?
Got it too.
After listening to his description, Zhan Chen nodded and said: According to your wishes, our escape route has been blocked.
Yes, the cave has all collapsed and we can't go back. I've been worrying about how to leave.
The way back is blocked, maybe we should explore forward. Zhan Chen pointed at the entrance of the cave where he came from.
Zhou Ziru asked urgently: Zhan Chen, have you discovered anything?
In fact, I came here along an underground river. I thought if we continue to explore along that river, we might be able to find the exit soon.
Okay, come on, take me to that underground river and take a look at it, Zhou Ziru encouraged. He has obviously had enough of staying in this poisonous cave.
Well, Zhan Chen nodded, so the two of them reached an agreement. They continued to move towards the entrance of the cave where Zhan Chen came before, and a new adventure began.
