Although the journey was boring, Lin Xue persevered.
For twenty days, she drove the divine ship alone.
The result was just as Ji Tianxing expected.
On the evening of the twentieth day, as the sun set, the divine ship finally arrived at the Qianyang Lake in Qianyang County.
This large lake located between mountains has a radius of one hundred thousand miles.
The lake is so deep and so cold that even the lightest feather cannot float on the water.
Anything that falls into Qianyang Lake will sink.
The breeze blew in the evening, but the water surface was like a mirror, without any ripples.
However, it is unknown how many powerful beasts survive in this mysterious Qianyang Lake according to legend.
The great lake is surrounded by towering mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, and the roars of beasts can be heard.
In the prestigious Hetian Sect of the Great Yan Empire, the General Gate is located deep in Qianyang Lake.
The ordinary people are not even qualified to enter Qianyang Lake, let alone see the mountain gate of Hetian Sect.
The thick fog that filled the lake obscured everything a hundred feet away, making it difficult to see clearly.
The divine ship stopped at the bank of Qianyang Lake. Lin Xue let out a long breath and murmured secretly: "Finally completed the mission and arrived at Qianyang Lake.
Next, let’s see what that kid does.”
After saying that, she released her consciousness and extended it to Ji Tianxing's secret room, hoping to wake him up.
As a result, there was no one in the secret room, except for a floating god tower.
Lin Xue guessed that Ji Tianxing was practicing in the divine tower, but was unable to contact him and could only wait patiently.
"That guy said before that it would take me twenty days to reach Qianyang Lake.
He should remember the time and take the initiative to end the retreat, right?"
As he spoke, Lin Xue looked at Qianyang Lake with vigilance, and manipulated the divine formation to make the divine ship enter a stealth state.
Soon, the divine ship merged with the clouds and mist in the sky and disappeared without a trace.
While Lin Xue watched her surroundings vigilantly, she patiently waited for Ji Tianxing to appear.
…
At the same time, Ji Tianxing has been in seclusion in the twisted time and space of the God Tower for three years.
During these three years, he continued to deduce the Heaven-Slaying Divine Art and repeatedly tried the second level of the Divine Art.
The first level of exercises is to lay the foundation, but the second level of exercises is to seek changes and breakthroughs, contains more principles and principles, and has more powerful power.
Therefore, the deduction and improvement of the second-level exercises are particularly complex and cumbersome.
Fortunately, Ji Tianxing's three years of practice have been fruitful.
He successfully performed the second level of the Heaven-Slaying Divine Technique.
Of course, that is only the foundation and framework of the second-level exercise. The details are not perfect enough, and it is not considered a real success.
It would take at least a few years for him to make the second level of skills complete and perfect.
It's a pity that he doesn't have that much time at the moment to continue to study the divine art.
He never forgot about Qianyang Lake and Hetian Sect, so he ended his training.
During this time of seclusion and hard training, he had been practicing the Heaven-Slaying Divine Technique and deducing the second-level skills without deliberately improving his strength.
But even so, his strength is still rising and becoming stronger.
Although he is still at the eighth level of the Divine Sovereign Realm, he is not far from the ninth level of the Divine Sovereign Realm.
His true combat power has also increased by more than twice what it was before.
"Whoosh!"
After finishing the practice, Ji Tianxing opened his eyes and murmured to himself: "Counting the time, I have been in seclusion for three years, and twenty days have passed in the outside world.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Xue should arrive at Qianyang Lake."
After saying that, he stood up and left the distorted time and space, returning to the secret room.
After putting away the Nine Heavens and Ten Jue Towers, he rushed to the driver's cab of the divine ship.
As expected, the divine ship was parked on the shore of a large lake, and Lin Xue was sitting alone in the cab, observing the surrounding situation.
Seeing Ji Tianxing coming, Lin Xue breathed a sigh of relief and snorted displeasedly: "I didn't disappoint you, I arrived at Qianyang Lake on time.
You're a bit lazy, why are you coming out now?"
Ji Tianxing knew that she was just complaining and had no ill intentions, so he ignored her.
He used his spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding area and saw that there was silence within 30,000 miles, and there was no trace of the activities of the gods, so he asked: "How long have you been here? Have you found anyone?"
Lin Xue answered truthfully: "I have been here for an hour and have been observing the situation, but I haven't seen a single person."
Ji Tianxing nodded and frowned: "Logically speaking, the entire Qianyang Lake is the territory of the Hetian Sect, and there will definitely be patrols and guards.
Why is there no one in a 30,000-mile radius? There must be something fishy about this."
Lin Xue blinked and asked doubtfully: "You mean, Prince Lian returned to Hetian Sect before us and had people from Hetian Sect set up an ambush?
The surroundings are calm and calm, but are you actually trying to lure us deeper?"
Ji Tianxing nodded and said: "It's possible! But there is another possibility... Hetian Sect's defense is weak and they have to shrink the defense circle and withdraw everyone into the mountain gate."
Lin Xue was stunned and frowned in disbelief, "How is this possible? After all, Hetian Sect is also one of the top three sects in the Great Yan Empire. It has at least hundreds of divine kings, ten to twenty thousand disciples and guards, and a defensive strength
How could it be weak?
Especially the Supreme Elder, Sect Master and Deputy Sect Master of Hetian Sect, it is said that they are all the peak divine kings of the ninth level!"
Lin Xue didn't know about the Qingyu Shrine, so she thought that the people from the Hetian Sect were all inside the mountain gate.
Ji Tianxing just smiled and didn't explain much.
"It's useless for us to observe here. It's better to save some time and go directly to the mountain gate of Hetian Sect."
Lin Xue quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay, regardless of whether the Hetian Sect's mountain gate is weak in defense, let's try it and find out.
You will control the divine ship, and I will wake up Xue Huan and Jin Zuo."
Lin Xue was gearing up and excited, imagining the upcoming fighting battle and getting a little excited.
Ji Tianxing had a premonition in his heart and vaguely guessed the outcome.
He raised his hand, called to Lin Xue who turned to leave, and said: "Don't worry, wait until I investigate the situation first, there is no need to let them play for the time being."
Although Lin Xue didn't know what she meant, she still nodded in agreement.
"Whoosh!"
The divine ship passed through the vast clouds and mist, and flew towards the middle of Qianyang Lake as fast as lightning.
About a quarter of an hour later, the divine ship flew more than 40,000 miles away.
Ahead is the center of Qianyang Lake.
On the mist-shrouded water, an island with a radius of more than two hundred miles can be vaguely seen.
The island is oval in shape, and its terrain is higher in the north and lower in the south.
To the south are shoals near the water, and to the north are grasslands and jungles.
The northern part of the island is a towering mountain range.
Ji Tianxing could clearly see that there were many medicinal fields and gardens in the southern peninsula, and many mythical beasts were raised there.
In the mountains of the northern peninsula, mansions and palaces were built on each mountaintop, which looked solemn and grand.
There is no doubt that that is the mountain gate of Hetian Sect.
