Chapter 270 269 Third-Grade Opportunity, Ancient Chapter
Chapter 270 269. Third-grade opportunity, ancient chapter table
The lottery on the Snow Dragon Mountain side is a good one, but it is not a pure flat lottery with nothing to gain or nothing to lose, but a coexistence of opportunity and risk... Lei Jun read the lottery carefully, thinking.
Although it is not a dangerous situation with a 100% chance of death or a 90% chance of death, with his current cultivation strength, the four words "contains risk" are already quite heavy.
It seems that Chu Yu, Wei Qiyue, Yue Xiling, Zhang Jingzhen and others' trip to the southwest is indeed not peaceful.
Nanzhao Stone Forest and Snow Dragon Mountain, located in the southwest, are both famous.
For cultivators of medium and low cultivation, they can be said to be two very dangerous places that dare not set foot easily.
Nanzhao Stone Forest contains illusions, which requires people with extremely strong souls, or warriors with deep cultivation to concentrate and not be disturbed by illusions, in order to find the way in it with difficulty.
It was just a difficult search. Even if some cultivators of the Seventh Heaven were trapped in it, they might still get lost. They needed to spend some energy to get out of this natural illusion created by nature.
As for Snow Dragon Mountain, it was because the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth there was unstable, and spiritual energy turbulence often broke out.
Under the influence of the spiritual energy turbulence, the ice and snow of Snow Dragon Mountain rose against the sky and turned into an endless ice and snow storm, which was also a huge threat to cultivators. If they were not careful, they might be buried in the wind and snow.
Moreover, it was close to the snowy plateau, and there might be snowy demons at any time, which added to the danger.
However, Lei Jun carefully read the words that appeared on the light ball and compared it with the fortune. He guessed that the threat was more likely to come from man-made disasters rather than natural disasters.
Zhang Jingzhen did not choose to go to Snow Dragon Mountain.
She will go to Nanzhao Stone Forest with Yue Xiling, Shangguan Sheng and Liao Jie, a disciple of Shushan Sect.
Liao Jie is a rising star among the younger generation of Shushan Sect, second only to Zhang Taigang.
Lei Jun had heard of the other party's name a few years ago. When he was chatting with Ji Chuan of Shushan Sect, he also heard him mention Liao Jie's name.
He lived in seclusion in the past few years and rarely left the Shushan Sect's mountain gate. Most of the time, he was in deep meditation.
In the past two years, he successfully took the last step, overcame the natural disaster between the sixth and seventh heavens, and successfully cultivated to the upper three heavens. He was the second person after Zhang Taigang among the younger generation of Shushan disciples.
In the eyes of Wei Qiyue and others, it is obviously safer than Xuelong Mountain in Nanzhao Stone Forest.
Therefore, Zhang Jingzhen, Liao Jie, and Shangguan Sheng who came here are all in the seventh heaven realm.
Yue Xiling, the only one with the eighth heaven cultivation, also broke through recently and is currently in the first level of Danding Sect's infant transformation realm.
The more experienced Shushan Grand Elder Wei Qiyue and Chu Yu went to Xuelong Mountain together.
The environment there is complex and relatively dangerous, and there may be more unknown variables.
Although Wei Qiyue and Chu Yu are only two people, if they encounter variables, they can move forward and backward relatively freely.
Chu Yu left the Suzhou Chu clan and joined the court, which attracted a lot of attention and she was in the storm all year round.
But her style of doing things tends to be cautious, rarely caught by others, and she is free to act without showing her true colors.
Lei Jun is not worried about her safety, but is more curious about the situation on the north side of Xuelong Mountain.
As for himself, he naturally chose to go to Nanzhao Stone Forest.
…………………
The sky above Xuelong Mountain was swept by wind and snow.
Two figures approached in the distance.
One of them was wearing cloth clothes and hemp shoes, dressed as a female crown. The clothes were simple, but the momentum was faintly fierce, and the appearance seemed to have entered middle age.
It was Wei Qiyue, one of the core senior members of Shushan Sect and the old man of the previous generation.
The other young woman was tall, dressed in a hunting suit, and looked heroic. It was Chu Yu.
The two of them walked through the wind and snow, resisting the wind and snow while also vigilantly observing the surroundings.
One of them was in the realm of the eighth heaven of immortal travel of the Taoist weapon refining school, and the other was in the realm of the eighth heaven of opening up the frontier of the Confucian divine shooting school. They were all agile and observant.
However, the environment of Snow Dragon Mountain is very harsh. Chu Yu and the others can only observe and explore the outside world within a limited range, and it is difficult to see the inside and outside of the snow mountain.
"I have heard that Taoist Master Chen Donglou likes to practice in dangerous environments, but seeing is believing. Now that I have experienced it in person, I really understand this point." Chu Yu said to Wei Qiyue beside him, parting the wind and snow.
Wei Qiyue nodded slightly: "Donglou believes that a sword is sharpened by grinding, so he has been searching for strange and dangerous places all year round. In the past, he often used the river to sharpen his flying sword."
She swept her eyes across the snowy Snow Dragon Mountain in front of her: "In terms of cultivation talent and personal strength, Donglou is indeed a rare genius, but unfortunately, his temperament has always been..."
Chu Yu: "Since Taoist Chen's temperament has not changed for many years, it seems that there may be other hidden secrets in the current situation?"
Chen Donglou may be hostile to the Tianshi Mansion and even the current Shushan Sect, or there may be some unknown grievances and disputes with the Chunyang Palace.
But it is hard to imagine that a person who was straightforward and arrogant in his early years now connects Feng Yi, Zhou Peng, Qi Shuo, Liu Dongzhuo and other abandoned disciples of various major Taoist sects and holy places to secretly plan something.
"The headmaster and I don't understand either. The only thing we can be sure of is that he must have had a conflict with these people."
Wei Qiyue said, "We can only know the truth after we find him."
As the two talked, they came to the northern foot of Xuelong Mountain.
Chu Yu was about to speak when his face suddenly changed.
In the mountainous area below, a sword light suddenly flashed.
Like a white rainbow piercing the sun, the sword light flew up to the sky, almost ignoring time and space, and was close to Chu Yu in an instant.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was in chaos, and with the wind and snow blocking her way, she could hardly see through the opponent's attack in advance, but once the Taoist flying sword flew out, it would arrive in an instant.
There was a flash of spiritual light on Chu Yu's body, and a jade pendant was shining brightly, manifesting as a jade-like city.
The city was transparent and seemed fragile like a work of art, but its defense was quite amazing.
Although it was still pierced by the sword light, the sword light slowed down as the jade shattered.
With this slow time, Chu Yu had time to avoid the Taoist flying sword that seemed to split the world and was as shocking as a rock.
"Be careful, it's Chen Donglou's Seven Star Sword!" Wei Qiyue reminded from the side.
As expected, Chu Yu turned his palm and a huge longbow appeared in his palm, but before he could draw the bow and arrow to fight back, the second and third sword lights flew out from the Snow Dragon Mountain, and in a short period of time, the wind and snow in the sky were temporarily cleared.
If the Taoist flying sword and the Confucian archery are given time to accumulate, both the attack distance and power will be further improved to a terrifying level.
Chu Yu lost the initiative for a moment. The opponent was well prepared, and a series of terrifying sword lights flew up, which made her only try her best to dodge first, and it was difficult to fight back.
Wei Qiyue waved her robe sleeves, and a magic sword flew out immediately.
The magic sword shook in the air, and the sword light kept twitching, and gradually turned into a silk-like sword net that did not dissipate in the wind and snow.
The sword net turned around and helped Chu Yu block the shocking sword lights.
The sword light was extremely sharp, and in a blink of an eye, it poked several huge holes in the sword net.
But under the fluttering silk, the sword net quickly made up and returned to its original state.
Chu Yu and Wei Qiyue joined forces to block the opponent's swift and fierce first wave of ambush, and Chu Yu finally had the opportunity to fight back with arrows.
But the flying sword that had just flown out changed its previous violent posture at this time. It moved flexibly, with both offensive and defensive capabilities. While continuing to attack Chu Yu, it could also intercept Chu Yu's arrows.
Chu Yu looked carefully and saw seven sword lights, arranged in the shape of seven stars above the Snow Dragon Mountain, and constantly moving. While showing its sharp edge, it also contained the magic of the movement of stars.
It was the Seven Star Sword that Chen Donglou had amazed the world in the past.
Chen Donglou's name of Shu Kuangren refers to his temperament, but as the most amazing genius successor of the Shushan School in the past few hundred years, his swordsmanship is the true tradition of Shushan. He is good at both big openings and closings and exquisite changes.
"Nephew Chen, long time no see, is this how you greet me?" Wei Qiyue's face was as gloomy as water, and there was anger in his tone.
A man's voice rang out in the Snow Dragon Mountain:
"Why did you come here? I know it, and you know it better. Wei Qiyue, what else can we say to each other today?
It's your ability to find you here, but..."
Wei Qiyue's sword net suddenly shook and fell to the back.
A large amount of fog suddenly surged in the place covered by the sword net, trying to pass through the sword net, but it was constantly strangled by the contraction and expansion of the silk fibers that made up the mesh of the sword net.
Chu Yu shot an arrow at the same time.
The light arrows flew everywhere, and the fog quickly dissipated.
It seemed that everything disappeared, but Chu Yu and Wei Qiyue said in unison:
"Gu Han!"
Both of them noticed that a master was quietly approaching in the wind and snow behind them. At this moment, it seemed that there was no one else, but the divine light in their eyes surged, and they all saw a figure that seemed to be there and not there in the wind and snow.
The appearance of the man was Gu Han, the former Xuanwu elder of Chunyang Palace.
However, Gu Han was in the form of a flying Yuanying at this moment, and came to the area of Xuelong Mountain. He just used the secret technique of Yuanying's soul to attack Chu Yu and the others.
Wei Qiyue's magic weapon, the Dust Silk Sword, refined the sword net dust silk. In addition to all kinds of natural treasures, it also refined a lot of mortal smoke and fire. The sword net was spread out with both virtual and real, so it could not only fight against the Seven Star Sword, but also intercept Gu Han's soul technique that tended to be invisible and intangible.
But after Gu Han's Qinglong Mengzhang lineage's unpredictable and most hidden soul technique failed to sneak attack, he directly changed to the White Tiger Guardian lineage's soul technique that was more focused on killing and attacking.
On the other side, seven flying swords were like the Big Dipper across the sky. While the sword light was condensed with amazing destructive power, it performed the mystery of the stars, constantly shuttled in the air, and attacked.
Four masters of the eighth level of the sky were fighting in the sky above Xuelong Mountain at this moment, making this already famous dangerous place even more unapproachable, like a destruction and death zone.
Chu Yu and Wei Qiyue lost the initiative and were ambushed, which put them at a disadvantage. As time went by, the situation became worse and worse.
………………
Nanzhao Stone Forest.
Lei Jun walked through the stone forest, looking at the huge stone pillars standing here, and inspiration kept bursting out in his mind.
It is true that this is a very dangerous place, but it also contains a lot of principles of heaven and earth.
The distribution of the stone forest seemed to be a maze set up by the heaven and earth. Lei Jun felt a lot after seeing it.
He first restrained his thoughts and planned to study it slowly later.
For now, pay attention to other things.
Yue Xiling, Zhang Jingzhen and others also arrived in this area.
The stone forest was a maze, so the other people were waiting outside, only vaguely forming a surrounding stone forest and checking the range.
Yue Xiling, Zhang Jingzhen, Shangguan Sheng, Liao Jie, four cultivators of the upper three levels, went deep into the stone forest.
Everyone dispersed to check, but there was no gain in a short time.
Except for Yue Xiling, it was very unlikely that anyone else would find Lei Jun, and Lei Jun was still acting alone in the dark.
After searching for a while, Lei Jun still didn't get any valuable clues.
It seemed that everyone had come up empty-handed...
That's strange.
Lei Jun stood on top of a stone pillar, overlooking the stone forest in front of him, his eyes flickering.
In the depths of his pupils, the light of the Heaven-Connecting and Earth-Clearing Law Scrolls flowed, changing rhythmically between light and dark.
Lei Jun did not find any clues about the whereabouts of the Taoist Master Chen Donglou.
But he was sure that someone had come to this stone forest in recent years, and had caused quite a stir, but then tried to clean up the mess and conceal their whereabouts to avoid being known by later generations.
With Lei Jun's insight, it was difficult to find any clues in a short period of time, and it was the dark side of the Heavenly Book that noticed something was wrong.
With the changes of fate, chaos and disorder often go back and forth with order.
The dark side of the Heavenly Book has a mysterious aura that makes things chaotic and disordered.
And all this, in turn, is what happened in the Nanzhao Stone Forest before.
Someone first searched here and then erased the traces.
To some extent, it was just like Lei Jun used the dark side of the Heavenly Book to clean up the mess after doing things many times.
Chen Donglou, there should be no need to do this, right?
Whether it is according to the Shushan School or Chen Donglou's past personality, he is not a person who would hide his traces and clean up his own traces.
Chen Donglou may have really been to Nanzhao Stone Forest and left some traces.
But then someone else came here to search and took away all the clues.
Whether it was at that time or a second time afterwards, they cleaned up the place thoroughly, so that it was empty at present, and Lei Jun and other latecomers found nothing.
Since it was cleaned up like this, it is impossible that some young people of the younger generation strayed into this place and got the opportunity of the predecessor Chen Donglou.
Nanzhao Stone Forest is such a chaotic and confusing place, and it is not something that anyone can do to do a "big cleanup" here.
"I may be more than one step late." Lei Jun came down from the top of the stone pillar and walked in the stone forest again.
He did not feel discouraged, but just kept thinking quietly.
"Roar!"
As Lei Jun walked, a sound like a fire explosion and a tiger's roar suddenly came from a distance.
He stopped and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Who is Zhang Jingzhen fighting with?
Lei Jun flicked his finger lightly.
Some dim and blurred light rose to the sky, revealing the shape of the Xuanxu Mirror. The mirror light seemed to be there and not there, but it quickly shone in the direction of Zhang Jingzhen.
………………
Zhang Jingzhen, the new high-level elder of the Tianshi Mansion, who has always been noble and elegant, is now in a rare state of embarrassment. His Taoist crown broke directly and his black hair fell down.
She followed the induction of her half of the ancient chapter and chose the direction of Nanzhao Stone Forest.
After searching all the way and not finding anything for a long time, Zhang Jingzhen sighed in her heart, but she was not very anxious.
Perhaps it should be said that God will not let down those who work hard.
When she was about to give up and rush to meet up with Yue Xiling, Shangguan Sheng, Liao Jie and others, the half of the chapter suddenly changed and reacted.
Zhang Jingzhen immediately went to look for it.
She didn't find anything related to Chen Donglou.
But she found the people and things she wanted to find.
Chen Yi.
The former Tianshifu's true disciple was still wearing a Taoist robe, but it was no longer the apricot yellow Taoist robe that Tianshifu's disciples usually wore, but a homemade white Taoist robe.
He quietly hid in a corner of the stone forest.
With him, there were several other Taoists, whose Taoist robes were black on the outside and white on the inside, all dressed like the true disciples of Chunyang Palace.
Zhang Jingzhen glanced and recognized the middle-aged Taoist priest in the sixth heaven realm who was the leader. He was the traitor Mo Chen who was wanted by Chunyang Palace like Zhou Peng and Wang Jingfang and fled.
The two sides were face to face at this moment. Zhang Jingzhen, who had already reached the third day of cultivation, knew without asking any more questions that the other half of the chapter he wanted was on Chen Yi.
However, Zhang Jingzhen was alert.
It was quite unusual that Chen Yi and others dared to hide here.
For the three-day cultivators among them, there was already a risk of falling into an illusion in the stone forest, and now they were facing a group of three-day cultivators searching for them.
Wanting to hide from being discovered may mean...
Among the upper three-day cultivators who came in with Zhang Jingzhen, someone is protecting Chen Yi, Mo Chen and others!
If it weren't for the indirection between the incomplete chapters and the chapters, it would be difficult for Zhang Jingzhen to find Chen Yi.
While being alert to the possible upper three-day enemies, Zhang Jingzhen still took action.
The emerald Yin Fire Tiger roared, and the Nine Abyss True Fire instantly turned the surrounding area into a sea of fire.
Chen Yi's progress in cultivation surprised Zhang Jingzhen again.
The abandoned disciple of the Tianshi Mansion in front of him actually increased his cultivation again and again, and his progress speed was extremely outstanding, far exceeding that of ordinary people.
It even exceeded the estimates of the elders of the Tianshi Mansion.
Although she knew that Chen Yi had half a scroll of chapters, her progress speed still surprised Zhang Jingzhen.
However, the other party was still at the middle three-day cultivation level after all. Even with the help of Mo Chen and others, it was difficult to resist the power of Zhang Jingzhen's upper three-day.
Zhang Jingzhen's main goal was to get the half of the memorial that Chen Yi had.
But the final result surprised Zhang Jingzhen.
She succeeded in getting Chen Yi's half of the memorial out.
The two incomplete memorials seemed to be merging in mid-air.
Mo Chen and others saw this and their eyes were filled with astonishing brilliance.
But what was even more astonishing was that Chen Yi was pushed to the limit and suddenly another light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Zhang Jingzhen's eyes blurred and her mind was shocked.
A strange scene appeared in her mind.
A golden palace!
The palace was magnificent, but a little bleak. It looked empty, with only a few things displayed in an irregular pattern.
But the golden palace shook, and the chapters that were about to be put together were separated again!
Zhang Jingzhen and Chen Yi refused to give in to each other. One had a stronger cultivation realm, and the other had a mysterious and strange golden palace that could influence the ancient chapters.
The final result was a loud "boom"!
There seemed to be a circle of golden ripples spreading in the stone forest, spreading to all directions.
The two incomplete chapters also went their separate ways, separated again, and flew away.
Chen Yi and Zhang Jingzhen were both shocked.
Zhang Jingzhen's Taoist crown on his head collapsed, his black hair scattered, and his body froze in place and could not move, looking unusually embarrassed.
Chen Yi was even shaken and flew out, blood spilling into the sky.
PS1: 5k chapters
PS2: I was just saying that I was not in the right state these two days. I wrote so slowly. My throat started to get inflamed and I took my temperature. Sure enough, I had a fever again. Fortunately, it was less than 38 degrees. I took medicine immediately to prevent it from getting worse. I hope it will pass quickly.
