In Yi Garden, Lu Yun and Ling Chen met Lin Yunfeng once again. Lin Yunfeng was still the same, but the two of them could see that his cultivation was improving at an extremely fast speed. This time, besides Lin Yunfeng, Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongfei were also present.
In the Yitian Pavilion, the five Headmasters and the most outstanding disciples were gathered together. Everyone looked at Perfected Xuan Yu quietly, waiting for him to speak. Perfected Xuan Yu looked at the eight people below, his gaze fixed on the five disciples. Looking at the five of them, Perfected Xuan Yu smiled and said softly,""Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. In these two years, all of you have made great progress. This is worthy of praise. Of the four of you, Lu Yun, Ling Chen, and Lin Yunfeng came two years ago. In these two years, the three of you have improved so much that it is beyond my expectations, especially Lu Yun and Ling Chen. The two of you don't know any cultivation spells at all. In just two years, you've actually cultivated our sect's 12 Heavenly Changing Spells to the 10th and 11th respectively. You've also cultivated the Heavenly Blazing Sword Technique to the great success realm. This is truly something unique in this world. As for Ao Xue and Hong Fei, your achievements are obvious to all, so I won't say much. This time, he was mainly talking about the Six Academies Martial Arts Symposium that was held in the Heavenly Sword Academy half a month later.”At this point, Perfected Xuan Yu stopped slightly and looked outside the door. Perfected Xuan Yu's expression changed slightly, and he said softly,""Junior Brother Zi Yang, please go out and welcome my friend who has come from afar. You should settle him down first. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I will give some instructions before bringing him here.”
" Alright," Immortal Zi Yang said softly." I'll go right away. I wonder who this person is?"”
Daoist Xuan Yu said," You'll know when you see it. Go ahead. He's already at the door. Don't let him say that our Yi Garden doesn't know how to greet people."”Perfected Zi Yang hurriedly went out upon hearing this. The others were all surprised and looked at Perfected Xuan Yu in confusion.
Perfected Xuan Yu didn't mention this matter anymore and continued what he had said earlier,""This year's Martial Arts Competition will be the same as before. A total of thirty-six people will participate in the competition. Each courtyard could have eight people participating, and the exact number of people would depend on the situation of each courtyard. However, if the number of participants exceeded thirty-six, a preliminary round would be held before the official competition. In the end, only thirty-six people could participate.
This time, only the five of you from our Yi Garden will participate. There will be no more than six people, so there will be no preliminary rounds. This was because there was a rule in the martial arts competition of the six courtyards. If the number of people participating in each courtyard did not reach six, there was no need for the preliminary round. They could directly enter the competition. If the number of people exceeded six, and the total number of people in the six courtyards exceeded thirty-six, then the extra people would have to go through the preliminary round. In this way, if some sects had more outstanding disciples, the number of people entering the finals might exceed six, and there might be seven, eight, or even more. The specifics would depend on how many outstanding talents each courtyard had in the past ten years.
This time, the five of you will be representing our Yi Garden, so I hope that you will work hard and do your best to bring glory to the Yi Garden. "As for your current cultivation, I'm also quite satisfied. I believe that if nothing goes wrong, at least one or two of you can enter the top six. That way, our Yi Garden's status will increase by quite a bit. In order to let you adapt to the environment there, I will take you to the Heavenly Sword Academy three days before the competition. And in these twelve days, you have other missions waiting for you. After I'm done speaking, Junior Brother Xuan Yin will take you to the Yin Valley in the south of Shu.
There were countless demon beasts hidden there. It was one of the gathering places of the seven great demon beasts in the cultivation world, ranked fifth. That place is extremely mysterious, and there are countless mysteries hidden there. This time, everyone will have to go separately and undergo seven days of difficult training. We will gather at the entrance of the valley in seven days. Then, we will head to the most mysterious Demonic Moon Cave in the Yin Valley for five days. I hope you will find something. The purpose of this trip to the Yin Valley is to increase your experience and your reaction to the enemy. "That way, during the Martial Arts Symposium, it can help you improve your cultivation.
I hope that after this experience, all of you will improve and bring glory to our Yi Garden. At the same time, there will be a certain degree of danger, so you must be careful. Once you are seriously injured, immediately return to the valley entrance. Junior Brother Xuan Yin will always be waiting for you there. Remember, I don't want any accidents to happen to anyone. Alright, you can go with Junior Brother Xuan Yin. I wish you all a victorious return.”
After Zhang Aoxue, Li Hongfei, and the others left with Perfected Xuanyin, Perfected Zi Yang led the three of them in. One of the three was a monk in his sixties. His face was red and dignified. The second one was a Taoist priest in his fifties. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand, and a faint green light appeared on his thin face. The last person was a middle-aged scholar dressed like a scholar. He had a righteous look on his face.
When Perfected Xuan Yu saw the three of them come in, he quickly stood up to welcome them and said with a smile,"So it's three old friends who have come from afar. Xuan Yu really did not welcome you. Please sit down.”After saying that, he gestured for the three of them to sit down. After the three of them sat down, Perfected Xuan Yu said,""This time, three old friends have come together. Could something have happened? At this moment, the Bodhi Academy, the Dao Garden, the Confucian Garden, and our Yi Garden are gathered here. This is truly a rare gathering. I wonder why my three old friends have come this time?”
Glancing at Immortal Xuan Yu, Master Nature of Bodhi Academy said,""Actually, this time, we just happened to meet by chance. We met each other several miles away, so we came together. This time, he was just passing by and had come to take a look. At the same time, he wanted to ask about the martial arts conference.”
Elder Qing Yizhen of the Dao Garden said," I'm here this time because of the Martial Arts Conference. Secondly, recently, there have been many evil and supernatural activities all over the world. I want to discuss this matter with everyone and see if anyone has any good ideas."”
Immortal Xuan Yu looked at the Danqing Swordsman in the Confucian Garden and asked,""Why is Old Friend Xu? Is it the same as theirs?" Xu Canghai, the Danqing Swordsman of the Confucian Garden, smiled and said,""I also have that intention. In addition, I would like to ask, has there been any big movements in the Ghost Realm recently?”
Perfected Xuan Yu's expression was calm as he looked at the three of them and said softly,""As for the Martial Arts Symposium, our Yi Garden has selected a total of five people to participate. As for the outcome, it will depend on the situation of your respective courtyards. In any case, we don't really care about this matter. We are also working hard on the matter of the frequent appearance of demon spirits and ghosts in the ghost realm and other places. In the past few years, the Ghost Realm had actually been secretly moving, wanting to break through that seal and enter the human world. "However, we've always sent people to guard it firmly. Once there's a situation, we'll immediately respond, so there's no big deal for the time being. As for the demon spirits in the various regions, that might be a sign of the chaos. Therefore, other than doing our best to stop them, we can't think of any other way for the time being.”
"I heard that there are two extremely outstanding talents in your garden. One is called Li Hongfei, and the other is called Zhang Aoxue. I wonder if the two of them will participate this time?"”
Perfected Xuan Yu smiled when he heard this. He glanced at his three junior brothers and sisters and said with a smile,"Old friend's ears are really good, even the only two outstanding disciples of our sect know about it. I know nothing about the outstanding disciples of your Dao Garden. What a miscalculation.”
"Sect Master Xuanyu, you must be joking," Dao Master Blue said with a smile."There are no outstanding disciples in our garden this year. It's a bit embarrassing." Now that the world is in a crisis, it is time for the Six Academies to show off their skills. This time, I am afraid that the limelight will be concentrated between the Yi Garden, the Heavenly Sword Academy, and the Phoenix Academy. It was said that a rare genius had appeared in the Bodhi Academy this year. He had already cultivated the Formless Prajna of the Bodhi Academy to the highest realm. That was rare in the world. The Three Swordsmen of the Confucian Garden also have profound cultivation. It seems that our Dao Garden has fallen behind this time.”
Bodhi Academy's Master Nature said,""Daoist Azure, don't try to hide anything from me. I'm afraid that the cultivation bases of your Dao Garden disciples, Wuwang and Yunhua, are not something that just anyone can compare to. "It's said that the two of them have already cultivated your Dao Garden's supreme technique, the Jade Heart Cleansing Technique, to the tenth realm. They're only one step away from the highest realm. They believed that their cultivation base was absolutely outstanding among the six courtyards.”
"Master is right. I've also heard about the two disciples of the Dao Garden." In fact, there were many outstanding disciples in the Sixth Campus this time. It could be said that the Sixth Campus had gained the most in so many years. As far as I know, this time, the Heavenly Sword Academy has six outstanding disciples, which is very shocking. The Bodhi Academy has two, the Dao Garden has three, and our Confucian Garden has three outstanding disciples. As for the Phoenix Academy, it was said that there were two outstanding female disciples with extraordinary cultivation. There were at least two people in Yi Garden. With this, the Martial Competition of the Six Academies this time was quite lively. As for the competition for the top six, it was especially intense. At that time, who would be able to obtain the first place of this batch would depend on their own abilities.”
"Anyway, no matter who it is, there will always be someone who can get first place," said Perfected Xuan Yu with a smile. This time, as long as we can enter the top six, my Yi Yuan will be satisfied. After so many years, our Yi Garden has always been ranked last. I feel a little embarrassed? I hope that this time, our disciples can give it their all and get rid of the situation where we are always lagging behind. As for the first place, according to what you said, it should be the Heavenly Sword Academy. Every year, it was their side that had outstanding talents. As expected of the world's top cultivator.”
The other three courtyards nodded slightly when they heard this. They had to admit this in their hearts. The Heavenly Sword Academy had always been strong and prosperous. For so many years, no one had ever been able to replace their position. They were truly a legend in the cultivation world. In the following time, everyone talked about the demon spirits in various places, but unfortunately, no one said anything in the end.
In the end, the people from the Third People's Hospital took their leave after sitting for a while. Perfected Xuan Yu tried his best to persuade him to stay, but he only managed to keep Xu Canghai, the Danqing Swordsman of the Confucian Academy. The other two claimed that they had something to do and left the Yi Garden.
On the other side, Master Daoist Xuanyin led the five most outstanding disciples of the Yi Garden on their respective flying swords, heading towards the Yin Valley. It was about five hundred miles from the Garden of Changes to the Yin Valley. The five of them traveled on their swords and arrived in just an hour. Daoist Black Yin was in mid-air as he turned around to look at his four disciples. Li Hongfei and Zhang Aoxue of the Qian and Kun Houses were the fastest, and they were far ahead of Lin Yunfeng, Lu Yun, and Lingchen.
"The Yin Valley is just ahead," Daoist Black Yin said. The valley was surrounded by the Yin Yang Demon Lock Formation, so it was impossible to enter by force. One had to enter from the entrance of the valley.”After saying that, he descended on his sword and gently arrived at the entrance of the Yin Valley. Soon, Li Hongfei and Zhang Aoxue landed beside Daoist Black Yin and quietly sized up the entrance of the Yin Valley.
When Ling Chen, Lu Yun, and Lin Yunfeng landed, Master Daoist Xuan Yin glared at Lin Yunfeng and scolded,"Useless thing, hurry up. Now, I'll lead the five of you in. After you enter, there are two roads inside, one on the left and one on the right. "The few of you will each take a path. After you walk a short distance, there will be another fork in the road. At that time, you will each choose a path and continue walking. As for what you will encounter, it will depend on your luck. What I can tell you is that there are a total of seven caves here. Each cave has a different demon spirit and ghost. Whether you can come out smoothly will depend on your ability and luck. If you really encounter the most powerful demon beast here, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf, then you have to be careful. Come in with me now." With that, he led the five of them into the valley.
Ling Chen carefully looked at the mouth of the valley. It was very strange, like the mouth of a wolf. The towering boulders on both sides were like wolf fangs, as if they wanted to eat people. At the same time, Lu Yun also noticed that there was a strange array set up in the valley. It was very mysterious and contained Yin and Yang Qi. It was extremely dangerous. It seemed that ordinary people could not enter.
Daoist Black Yin led the five of them around and read,"This formation is based on the Eight Trigrams. As long as you pay attention, it shouldn't be able to trap you. The most peculiar thing about this array was that it was somewhat difficult to enter, but it was relatively easy to leave. "Of course, this is referring to you. As for those demon spirits and ghosts, they will be swallowed by the Yin and Yang Qi of this array formation as soon as they enter this place. They have no way of leaving this place.”Not long after, Daoist Black Yin led the five of them through the formation and arrived at the entrance of the Yin Valley.
Looking at the two roads on the left and right, the Black Yin Daoist glanced at the five of them and turned around."You can go in now. With your cultivation, it's a small problem for you not to eat for seven days. I hope you will be careful on the way. This time, we are mainly here to train your actual combat experience and enrich your adaptability. Therefore, you must be careful. Hongfei, you go in first." After saying that, he looked at Li Hongfei.
Li Hongfei nodded lightly and didn't say anything. He chose a path on the left and left in a flash. Then, Zhang Aoxue chose another path. Only Lin Yunfeng, Ling Chen, and Lu Yun were left. The three of them looked at each other. Lu Yun had gone down the path Li Hongfei had taken, so Lin Yunfeng and Ling Chen had to go down the other path.
Putting aside the different encounters of the other four, Ling Chen and Lin Yunfeng followed the small path and soon arrived at a fork. Ling Chen took a closer look. There were a total of 4 paths, and on the ground of the second path on the left, there was an obvious footprint. It was obvious that Zhang Aoxue had left it there on purpose, so as to tell the people who came later which path he had taken. Ling Chen and Lin Yunfeng quietly stopped for a moment, and Lin Yunfeng chose the first path. Ling Chen chose the 4th path.
After walking for five li, the plants on both sides of the road were lush and beautiful. It was impossible to tell that this was the place where the seven great demons of the cultivation world gathered. Ling Chen said to himself,"Perhaps this place is also a treasure land with beautiful mountains and rivers." Otherwise, why would demons gather here?"
Looking at the cave in front of him, Ling Chen's first impression was that the demonic aura inside was extremely evil. This hole was very deep, and Ling Chen could clearly see what was inside. Unfortunately, it was only the first part. The second part was filled with demonic qi, and it seemed to be interfering with Ling Chen's spiritual sense.
Ling Chen carefully looked around, there was no one around, very good. Smiling, Ling Chen slowly walked into the cave. The cave was very dark, but Ling Chen didn't mind at all. His spiritual sense was currently carefully exploring the depths of the cave, and the extremely dense demonic aura. Ling Chen released a wave of his Divine Sense, slowly searching for information about the demonic aura.
Ling Chen's expression revealed a trace of understanding. Ling Chen flew into the air on his sword, the sword flashing with a piercing red light, quietly above Ling Chen's head, rapidly spinning, enveloping him in a layer of red light.
Ling Chen's feet didn't touch the ground, his body slightly moving forward, his speed incredibly fast. Ling Chen quickly arrived at a large hole. The demonic aura here was very strong, and it was obvious that there was a powerful monster cultivating here. Ling Chen's arrival immediately caused chaos within the cave. Countless black gases appeared in the air, taking on all sorts of shapes, looking extremely strange. At the same time, countless strands of black gas flew towards Ling Chen, as if wanting to devour him.
Ling Chen looked at the black gas around him, a look of disdain in his eyes. At this moment, a cold aura suddenly erupted from his body, instantly forcing the black gas to dodge. A silent Yin wind and ghostly qi instantly sounded from the cave, appearing extremely terrifying. Ling Chen's lips curled into an evil smile, and the sword above his head instantly exploded with a brilliant light, illuminating the surroundings. The black gas in the air was exposed.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly pounced over from behind Ling Chen. That terrifying black shadow seemed to want to tear him apart and swallow him. At the same time, 9 different black figures appeared in 9 different directions, each of them giving off different auras as they ferociously pounced towards Ling Chen.
Ling Chen proudly smiled. There was no one else here, and he was the ruler of this place. Ling Chen's body instantly exploded out with a dark green light, and the sword above his head also flashed with a red light, causing the black shadows to let out ghostly screams.
Ling Chen had learned from Lin Yunfeng that the Yang House's Heavenly Raging Inferno Sword was extremely tyrannical against the demons of the world, and was able to restrain them. As for the Demon Slaying Sword of the Yin School, it had the ability to counter demons and ghosts. At this moment, Ling Chen displayed the power of the Heavenly Raging Inferno Sword. A red light flashed, and countless howls filled the entire cave.
Out of the 10 black figures that were charging towards Ling Chen, 3 of them were sent flying, slowly turning into smoke and disappearing into the air. The other seven black shadows were obviously very powerful, but they were only shaken away. Ling Chen looked at these 7 black figures and felt that the 3 most powerful demonic auras had yet to appear. Ling Chen smiled, his expression proud. The sword above his head suddenly stopped spinning, and instantly turned into a fire dragon, madly flying out, flying through the cave. A wave of heat burned everything like the inferno of hell. The surroundings were suddenly filled with cold wind and countless screams. It was extremely terrifying.
Ling Chen placed his hands behind his back and laughed arrogantly,"I see that you still don't want to show yourselves. Monsters, quickly show yourselves.”After saying that, the fire dragon flashed and rushed towards a dark place on the left. In an instant, the red light and the black gas intertwined, forming a rare spectacle. The fire dragon in the air opened its mouth and glared angrily. Its sharp claws danced wildly as it struggled with all its might against the flickering black cloud. The rolling heat waves collided with the gloomy cold air, emitting a sizzling sound that was unusually ear-piercing.
Ling Chen's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly put away his sword. The red light suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness. A blue light appeared once more, and the Nine Elements Illusion Ice Sword spun above Ling Chen's head. The flashing blue light lit up everything in the cave. Ling Chen looked at the black ball of light and said,"Why aren't you revealing yourself? Are you forcing me to make a move?”
"Don't go too far, Daoist cultivator." This is the Yin Valley, not a place for cultivators like you. If you don't leave now, don't blame us for being sorry.”There was a hint of threat in the sinister voice.
Ling Chen coldly looked at the black shadow and coldly laughed,"Although you are three in one, I can still force you to reveal your true forms. By then, it will be too late. From the moment I entered this place, you were destined to be destroyed today. I only asked you to show yourself because I wanted to see your true bodies. If you didn't do anything evil, I might show mercy.”
The voice was sinister." Cultivator, you're too arrogant and ignorant. Countless people came here in the past and talked nonsense. In the end, they all died here and became delicious food for us. You won't be able to leave this place alive today. Although you have the aura of Yi Garden on you, it's impossible for you to live.”After saying this, 6 more figures appeared and attacked Ling Chen. Ling Chen looked and saw that they were all wild wolves of all shapes and sizes, looking extremely ferocious. Ling Chen carefully looked at the heads of these 6 wolves, they all gave off a faint evil spiritual light, clearly not good people.
The six wolf demons moved like the wind and were extremely fast. Their sharp claws and fangs flickered with a cold light as they pounced at Lu Yun from different directions. Looking at the situation, it was obvious that these wolf demons knew how to combine attacks and had a deep understanding of the use of tactics. Ling Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light, knowing that these wolves were not ordinary wolves, and he had to be careful. The red light slightly shifted, and Ling Chen moved 10 meters away, gently avoiding these ferocious wolf demons. Ling Chen's eyes revealed a trace of an evil smile as he gently turned his head, quietly waiting for the next round of attacks from these wolf demons.
Ling Chen was very calm. 7 days was a long time, so he didn't need to be too anxious. Since he came here to improve his ability to adapt, he would properly deal with these wolf demons and test his reaction and enemy skills. At this moment, Ling Chen only held the Nine Origin Illusion Ice Sword, and his body instantly slid into the encirclement of the 6 wolves. The Nine Origin Illusion Ice Sword gave off a faint blue light, and he instantly slashed out 72 times, attacking the 6 wolves.
The sword technique that Ling Chen used was not Yi Yuan's Heavenly Blaze Sword Art. It was the Illusion Ice Divine Technique's Illusion Ice Layered Wave Sword Technique's first technique, Ice Layered Wave. Ling Chen wanted to use the Illusion Ice Layered Wave Sword Technique to kill these 6 wolf monsters.
The Nine Origin Illusion Ice Sword trembled as it danced around Ling Chen, and powerful sword Qi instantly formed into icy sword Qi. Countless sword qi swept across and struck the three wolf demons in an instant, causing them to let out ear-piercing screams. They instantly turned into a wisp of black qi and disappeared without a trace. The sword qi swept across the cave, turning it into an ice cave.
Ling Chen's figure danced in the air, and the Nine Elements Illusion Ice Sword shot out blue light. The powerful ice sword Qi forced the remaining 3 wolves to have nowhere to hide. Ling Chen coldly laughed,"You're still not going to be executed? Watch your sword."”As soon as he finished speaking, the blue light surged, and layers of sword curtains formed a circular light shield that enveloped the three wolf demons and quickly retracted. The three wolf demons dodged left and right, trying to break out of the layers of sword screen. However, their bodies immediately withered when they touched the blue sword light. In the blink of an eye, the three wolf demons let out miserable cries as their bodies were slowly devoured by the icy sword light.
Ling Chen waved the sword in his right hand, and a powerful sword Qi containing the aura of the Illusion Ice Wave Stacking Sword Technique and the Illusion Ice Divine Technique swept towards the black ball of air. A black gas instantly met Ling Chen's sword light, and the two different types of qi instantly exploded, creating a series of ear-piercing sounds in the air.
Ling Chen's blue sword light broke through the black gas and shot towards the dark cloud of shadow. Just as it was about to hit, a black light flew out from the black cloud of air, meeting Ling Chen's sword light. The sound of metal clashing could be heard in the air, but how could the black light block Ling Chen's Illusion Ice Layered Wave Sword Art? The black light was immediately sent flying back, freezing the black light before turning into ice particles that scattered in the cave. Ling Chen's eyes flashed as he looked at the ancient cave and his body turned into a ray of golden light, disappearing as he continued deeper into the cave. This time, the moment Ling Chen disappeared, the place returned to normal.
The mysterious and dark cave slowly regained its peace. Everything seemed so quiet. What would Ling Chen encounter if he continued to go deeper? Would he be able to come out unscathed? What did the other four outstanding disciples of Yi Garden encounter?
