Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

Time passed slowly during Lu Yun's practice.Two years, always passing by inadvertently looking back.Nothing in the world seemed to change, nothing changed because of his appearance, and nothing changed because of his non-appearance.However, his appearance really won't change anything? In Yi Garden, Lu Yun saw Lin Yunfeng again.At this time, Lin Yunfeng still had that personality, but Lu Yun could see that his cultivation had improved extremely rapidly.This time, apart from Lin Yunfeng, there were also Zhang Aoxue and Li Hongfei. In Yitian Pavilion, the four masters and their most outstanding disciples all gathered together.Everyone quietly looked at Master Xuanyu above, waiting for him to speak.Master Xuanyu looked at the eight people below, and his eyes stayed on the four disciples.Looking at the four of them, Master Xuanyu showed a slight smile, and said softly: "Two years have passed in a blink of an eye. In the past two years, you have made great progress, which is worthy of praise. Among the four of you, Lu Yun and Lin Yunfeng I came here two years ago. In the past two years, the progress of the two of you is really unexpected, especially Lu Yun. A young man who doesn't know how to cultivate the truth, even in two years "Yi Tian Twelve Jue" has been cultivated to the tenth tactic, and Liehuo Tiangang Sword Jue has been cultivated to the Dacheng state. This is really a unique thing in the world. As for Aoxue and Hongfei, your achievements are obvious to all, and I don't have many I’ve said it. This time I’m mainly talking about the six-academy martial arts conference that will be held in Tianjian Academy half a month later.” At this point, Master Xuanyu stopped slightly and looked at the A glance outside the door.

Master Xuanyu's complexion changed slightly, and he said softly: "Junior Brother Ziyang, go out and greet me, my friend who came from afar. You settle him down first, and after I have explained some things, I will Bring him here." Master Ziyang heard this, and said softly: "Okay, I'll go right away, don't you know who this person is?" Immortal Xuanyu said: "You'll know it when you see it. Go ahead. They've already arrived at the door. Don't let them say that we, Yi Yuan, don't know how to greet you." Immortal Ziyang hurried out after hearing this.The rest of the people were all surprised, and looked at Master Xuanyu with some puzzlement.

Master Xuanyu didn't mention this much, and continued what he said earlier: "This time, the Sixth Academy's Martial Arts Discussion is the same as in the past. A total of 36 people will participate in the competition. Each academy can have eight participants. The specific number depends on each However, if the number exceeds 36 people, a preliminary competition will be required before the official competition, and only 36 people can participate in the end. But this time, in our Yiyuan, only four of you will participate, and the number of people will not exceed six, so there is no need for a preliminary round.Because there is a rule in the martial arts meeting of the Sixth Academy, if the number of participants in each academy does not reach six, there is no need for the preliminary round, and they can directly enter the competition.If the number of people exceeds six, and the total number of people in the Sixth Academy exceeds thirty-six, then the extra people must go to the preliminary round.In this way, if some sects have more outstanding disciples, the number of finalists may exceed six, seven, eight or even more, depending on how many outstanding talents each academy has had in the past ten years.

This time the four of you are going to represent our Yiyuan, so I hope you will work hard and do your best to win glory for Yiyuan.As for your current cultivation, I am also quite satisfied. I believe that if there are no accidents, at least one or two of you can enter the top six.Then the status of our Yiyuan will be improved a lot.In order to let you adapt to the environment there, three days before the competition, I will take you to the Heavenly Sword Academy.And in these twelve days, you also have other tasks waiting for you.After I finish speaking, Junior Brother Xuanyinzhen will take you to the Valley of Jueyin in the south of Sichuan.

There are countless monsters hidden there, and it is one of the places where the seven great monsters gather in the cultivation world, ranking fifth.It is very mysterious there, and there are countless mysteries hidden. This time you go, each of you will have to separate and go through a difficult training experience that will last for seven days.Gather at the mouth of the valley after seven days, and then go to the most mysterious Yaoyue Cave in the Valley of Jueyin. It will last five days. I hope you can gain something.This trip to the Valley of Absolute Shadow is mainly to increase your experience in facing the enemy and your respective reactions to the enemy.That will help you improve your cultivation in the Martial Arts Conference.

I hope that after this experience, you will all make some progress, so as to win glory for our Yiyuan.At the same time, going here is also dangerous, so you must be careful. Once you are seriously injured, go back to Taniguchi immediately, and Junior Brother Xuanyin will always be there waiting for you.Remember, I don't want anyone to have an accident, well, you go with Junior Brother Xuanyin.Congratulations on your return in victory. " After Zhang Aoxue, Li Hongfei and the other four left with Master Xuanyin, Master Ziyang led the three of them in.Among the three people, one was a monk in his early sixties, with a red face and a majestic expression.The second one is a Taoist priest, about fifty years old, holding a dust whisk, with a faint blue light on his thin face.The last one is a middle-aged scribe dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a righteous look on his face.

Seeing the three people coming in, Master Xuanyu hurriedly got up to greet them, and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that three old friends have come from a long way. Xuanyu really missed the distance to welcome them. Please sit down." After speaking, he greeted the three people to sit down Down.After the three of them sat down, Master Xuanyu said, "This time the three old friends came together. Could it be that something happened? At this time, we have Bodhi Academy, Daoyuan, Confucianism Garden and our Yiyuan here. Four sects, this is really a rare event, I wonder why the three old friends came here this time?"

Glancing at Immortal Xuanyu, Master Ben Xing of Bodhi Academy said, "Actually, this time, we met by chance, and it wasn't agreed upon. We both met miles away, so we came here together. This time, we were mainly passing by. Take a look casually, and at the same time ask about the matter of this martial arts conference." Qing Yizhen from Daoyuan said: "This time, I came here for the matter of the Martial Arts Conference, and secondly, because of the rampant demonic and supernatural activities in the world recently, I will discuss this matter with you and see everyone What's the best way to do it?"

Master Xuanyu looked at the Danqing Swordsman in Confucian Garden and asked: "What about old friend Xu? Is it the same as theirs?" Xu Canghai, the Danqing Swordsman in Confucian Garden, smiled and said: "I also have that meaning, and I want to ask another question , is there any big movement in Huangquan recently?" Master Xuanyu looked at the three with a calm expression, and said softly, "For the Martial Arts Conference, we at Yiyuan have selected a total of four people to attend this time. As for the result, it depends on the situation of each academy. Well, anyway, we don't really care about this matter. We are also working hard on the frequent appearance of ghosts and ghosts in various places. Over the past few years, Ghost Domain has been secretly acting, trying to break through that seal , into the human world. But we have always sent people to guard it firmly, and deal with it as soon as there is a situation, so there is no serious problem for the time being. As for the demon spirits everywhere, it may be the sign before the chaos, so we except I can't think of any other way except to try my best to stop it."

Master Daoyuan Qingyi asked: "I heard that there are two outstanding talents under the sect of your garden, one is Li Hongfei and the other is Zhang Aoxue. I wonder if they will participate this time?" Master Xuanyu smiled when he heard the words, glanced lightly at the three juniors and sisters of our sect, and said with a slight smile: "Old friend's ears are really good, even the two outstanding disciples of our sect know it. I I don’t know anything about the outstanding disciples of your Dao Garden, what a miscalculation.” Master Qingyi said with a smile: "Headmaster Xuanyu is joking, there are no outstanding disciples in this class at all, it's a bit embarrassing to say. In today's world, catastrophe has already appeared, and it is time for our Sixth Academy to show its talents , this time, I am afraid that the limelight will be gathered between your Yiyuan, Tianjian Academy and Phoenix Academy. I heard that there is also a strange talent that has been rare for decades in Bodhi Academy. It is rare in the world to cultivate to the highest level. And the three swordsmen in Confucianism Garden are also well-cultivated, it seems that this time our Taoist Garden is behind."

Master Ben Xing of Bodhi Academy said: "Friend Qing Dao, don't hide your selfishness. I am afraid that the cultivation level of the two disciples Wu Wang and Yun Hua in your Dao Garden cannot be compared with anyone. It is said that the two of them have already You have cultivated the supreme dharma formula of your Dao Garden——Yuqing Heart Jue, to the tenth level, which is only one step away from the highest level. Believe their cultivation base, in terms of the six courtyards, it is definitely called is extremely outstanding.” Danqing swordsman Xu Canghai smiled and said: "Master is right, I have also heard about the two disciples of Daoyuan. In fact, among the disciples of the Sixth Academy this time, there are many outstanding people. , The most rewarding year. As far as I know, this time, there are six outstanding disciples in Tianjian Academy, which is very amazing, while there are two in Bodhi Academy, three in Daoyuan, and our Confucianism Academy is also counted. There are three outstanding disciples. As for Phoenix Academy, it is said that there are also two female disciples who are very outstanding and have extraordinary cultivation. There are at least two of them in Yi Garden, so this time, the martial arts meeting of the Sixth Academy will be quite lively. The competition for the top six will be extremely fierce. At that time, who can win the first place this year will depend on their own abilities." Master Xuanyu smiled and said: "Anyway, no matter who it is, there will always be someone who can get the first place. This time, as long as we can enter the top six, I, Yi Yuan, will be satisfied. For so many years, our Yi Yuan has always been at the bottom , I feel a little embarrassed? I hope this time, the disciples of the sect can show their best and get rid of the situation that we are always behind. As for the number one, according to what you say, it should undoubtedly be Tianjian Academy. They were the ones with outstanding talents in the first session, and they really deserve to be the Taishan Beidou of the world's cultivation session." People from the other three courtyards nodded slightly when they heard the words, and they had to admit it in their hearts.The strength of Tianjian Academy has always been strong and unabated. For so many years, no one has ever been able to replace them. It is really a myth in the cultivation world.In the following time, everyone talked about the demon spirits in various places, but unfortunately, no one came to a conclusion in the end. Finally, after sitting for a while, the people from the Third Court took their leave.Master Xuanyu tried his best to keep him, but he only kept the Danqing swordsman Xu Canghai from the Confucian Academy.The other two claimed that they had something to do and left Yiyuan respectively. Here, Master Xuanyin took Yi Yuan's four most outstanding disciples, each flying with their own swords, to the Valley of Absolute Yin.From Yi Garden to Jueyin Valley, it was about 500 miles, five people walked with their swords, and it took only half an hour to arrive.Master Xuanyin was in mid-air and looked back at the four disciples.Li Hongfei from the Qianyuan Academy and Zhang Aoxue from the Kunyuan Academy were the fastest and were far ahead, pulling Lin Yunfeng and Lu Yun hundreds of feet apart. Master Xuanyin said: "Ahead is the Valley of Absolute Yin, let's go down. The Yin-Yang lock magic array is set up around the valley, so you can't enter by force, you have to enter from the mouth of the valley." After speaking, Yujian went down, gently I came to the mouth of the valley of absolute darkness.Soon, Li Hongfei and Zhang Aoxue also landed next to Master Xuanyin, silently looking at the mouth of the Absolute Yin Valley. When Lu Yun and Lin Yunfeng landed, Master Xuanyin gave Lin Yunfeng a hard look, and scolded: "Useless things, don't hurry up. Now I will lead the four of you in. After entering, there are two roads inside." , one on the left and one on the right. Every two of you walk along the same path, and when you go not far away, there will be another fork in the road. At that time, you each choose a path and go on. As for what you will encounter, it depends on your luck What I can tell you is that there are seven caves in total, and there are different ghosts and ghosts in each cave. In seven days, whether you can come out smoothly depends on your ability and luck. .If you really encounter the most powerful monster here—the Xiaoyue Sirius, then be careful. Come in with me now." After speaking, he led the four of them and slowly entered the valley. Lu Yun carefully looked at this Taniguchi, this Taniguchi is very strange, just like the mouth of a wolf.The towering boulders on both sides are like those wolf fangs, seeming to eat people.At the same time, Lu Yun also noticed that a strange formation was set up in this valley, which was very mysterious, implying yin and yang, and extremely dangerous.It seems that ordinary people can't get in. Master Xuanyin led the four of them to turn left and right, and said: "This formation is based on the eight trigrams of yin and yang. As long as you pay attention carefully, it should not be able to trap you. The most peculiar thing about this formation is that it is difficult to enter. , but it is easier to go out. Of course, this refers to you, as for those ghosts and ghosts, once they enter this place, they will be swallowed by the yin and yang of this formation, and they have no way to get out from here." Not long after, Xuanyin Daoist led the four of them through the formation and arrived at the entrance of the Valley of Absolute Shadow. Looking at the two roads, one on the left and one on the right, Master Xuanyin glanced at the four of them slightly, then turned around and said, "Go in now, it's going to go for seven days, with your cultivation base, if you don't eat, that's a small problem I hope you will be careful along the way, this time is mainly to exercise your actual combat experience and enrich your adaptability, so you have to be careful, this place is also full of dangers. Hongfei, you go in first." After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Hongfei . Li Hongfei nodded slightly, didn't say anything, directly chose the path on the left, and walked away.Immediately afterwards, Zhang Aoxue chose another path.Now only Lin Yunfeng and Lu Yun were left, and they looked at each other, Lu Yun followed Li Hongfei's path, Lin Yunfeng naturally had to go the other way. Not to mention the different experiences of the other three people, let's say that Lu Yun followed the path and soon reached a fork in the road.Lu Yun took a closer look and saw that there were four forked roads here, among which there was an obvious footprint left on the ground of the second one on the left, which was obviously left by Li Hongfei on purpose, so as to tell the people behind him which road he took.Lu Yun paused quietly, and chose the path on the far right. He wanted to keep away from Li Hongfei so that no one would discover his secret. Going forward for three miles, the flowers and plants on both sides of the road are lush and beautiful, and you can't see it at all. This is the place where the seven monsters gather in the cultivation world.Lu Yun said to himself: "Perhaps this place can also be regarded as a treasure land with beautiful mountains and rivers. Otherwise, how could there be monsters gathering?" Looking at the cave in front of him, Lu Yun's first feeling was that it was very evil and strange.The hole is very deep, and the scene in the hole has clearly appeared in Lu Yun's mind.It's a pity that it's only the front section. When it comes to the back section, there is a heavy evil spirit, which seems to be interfering with Lu Yun's thought wave. Lu Yun looked around carefully, but there was no one, very good.Smiling lightly, Lu Yun walked slowly into the cave.The cave was very dark, but Lu Yun didn't mind at all. At this moment, his mind wave was carefully exploring the depths of the cave, where the very strong evil spirit was.Lu Yun released three waves of thoughts, the first one carefully inspected the ball of evil energy at a frequency of 3,600 times per instant.The second thought wave, with a frequency of 14,400 times per instant, collects the frequency band of the monster energy at a high speed.The last one was slowly collecting the information of the monster energy at a very low frequency of once every hundred breaths. A slight surprise appeared on Lu Yun's face, because the three thought waves had explored different information, but unfortunately, Lu Yun only knew a little about the composition of the monster aura.This is something Lu Yun has never encountered before.Lu Yun's Yujian volleyed in the air, and the long sword shone with a dazzling red light. It quietly spun on top of Lu Yun's head, covering him in a layer of crimson light. Lu Yun's feet did not touch the ground, and his body moved forward slightly, with an extremely fast speed.Soon Lu Yun came to a big cave, where the monster aura is very strong, obviously there are powerful monsters hiding here to practice.Lu Yun's arrival immediately caused chaos in the cave. Countless black gases were seen changing into various shapes in mid-air, which was very strange.At the same time, countless black air rushed towards Lu Yun, seeming to want to devour him. Lu Yun looked at the black gas around him, with a smile in his eyes.At this moment, a domineering aura suddenly erupted from his whole body, instantly forcing the black gas to dodge non-stop.The silent ghostly aura resounded from the cave in an instant, looking very terrifying.There was an evil smile on the corner of Lu Yun's mouth, and the long sword above his head burst into a bright brilliance instantly, illuminating the surrounding area brightly.The black gas in mid-air suddenly showed nothing to hide. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed behind Lu Yun. The terrifying black shadow seemed to want to tear him apart and swallow him.At the same moment, nine different black shadows flashed from nine directions, with different auras, and they all rushed towards Lu Yun ferociously. Lu Yun smiled proudly, no one else is here, he is the master here.Lu Yun's body erupted with a five-color brilliance instantly, and nine divine waves of thoughts were spread around his body, and the frequency of each layer was increasing one by one, firmly protecting him.In addition, the long sword above the head also flashed a crimson light, making those black shadows scream like ghosts. Lu Yun learned from Lin Yunfeng that Yangyuan's Raging Fire Tiangang Sword is very domineering against the monsters in the world, and it just restrains them.And Yinyuan's demon-slaying demon sword has the ability to restrain demons and ghosts.At this time, Lu Yun displayed the power of the Fiery Tiangang Sword, and saw a flash of red light, and immediately there were countless howling and roaring sounds, filling the entire cave in an instant. Aiming at the ten black shadows rushing towards Lu Yun, three of them were blown away immediately, and slowly turned into green smoke, disappearing into the air.The other seven black shadows were obviously very powerful, they were just shaken away.Looking at the seven shadows, Lu Yun felt that there were still three most powerful evil spirits, but they did not show up.With a smile in his eyes and a proud expression on his face, Lu Yun suddenly stopped spinning the long sword above his head, and instantly turned into a fire dragon, which rolled out wildly and flew back and forth in the cave.A heat wave, like hellfire, burned everything, and suddenly there was a gust of cold wind all around, and the sound of countless screams was thrilling and very frightening. With his hands on his back, Lu Yun smiled conceitedly and said, "I don't see you showing up yet, monsters, show up quickly." After speaking, the fire dragon flashed and rushed towards a dark place on the left, and instantly saw red Light and black air are entangled with each other, forming a rare spectacle.The fire dragon in mid-air opened its mouth glaringly and danced wildly with its sharp claws, fighting hard against the flickering black cloud.The roiling heat wave collided with the gloomy cold air, making a screeching sound, which was extremely ear-piercing. A cold light flashed in Lu Yun's eyes, and he withdrew his long sword suddenly. The red light suddenly went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness.The red light reappeared, and the long sword spun above Lu Yun's head again. The flickering red illuminated everything in the cave.Lu Yun looked at the ball of black air that shone with bewitching light, and said in a deep voice, "You don't show yourself yet, do you want to force me to do it?" Suddenly, a voice came: "Cultivators, don't go too far. This is the Valley of Absolute Shadows. This is not a place for you cultivators. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being sorry." In the gloomy voice , with a dash of threat. Lu Yun looked at the black shadow coldly and arrogantly, and said with a sneer: "Although you are a trinity, I can still force you to reveal your true body. At that time, it may be too late. From the moment I entered here, you are doomed today. I want you to be wiped out. I let you show up just to see your real body. If you didn't do evil, I might be merciful." The voice said gloomyly: "Cultivator, you are too arrogant and ignorant. Countless people came here before, talking nonsense, but they all died here and became a delicacy in our mouths. You must not be able to leave alive today." Go, although you have the aura of Yi Yuan on your body, it is impossible for you to survive." After speaking, six physical shadows suddenly appeared and attacked Lu Yun.Lu Yun saw that they were all wild wolves, with different shapes and very fierce appearances.Lu Yun took a closer look at the tops of the six wolves' heads, and there was a hint of evil aura faintly on them, obviously they were not kind. The six wolf monsters were as fast as the wind, with sharp claws and fangs, flashing a gloomy cold light, and rushed towards Lu Yun from different directions.Looking at the situation, one can tell that these wolf demons know how to attack together and have a deep understanding of the use of tactics.A cold light flashed in Lu Yun's eyes, he knew that these wolves were not ordinary wolves, so he had to be careful not to be careless.The red light moved slightly, and Lu Yun moved a distance of three feet away, gently avoiding these ferocious wolf monsters.A wicked smile appeared in Lu Yun's eyes, he turned his head slightly, and quietly waited for the next round of attacks from these wolf monsters. Lu Yun was very calm in his heart, seven days was a long time, so he didn't need to be too impatient.Since the purpose of coming here is to improve one's adaptability, then it is good to deal with these wolf monsters and test one's reaction and enemy skills.At this moment, Lu Yun put away the divine wave of thoughts around him, just holding the long sword, his body instantly slid into the encirclement of the six wolves. Six wolf demons. The sword technique used by Lu Yun is actually Yi Yuan's Raging Fire Tiangang Sword Art.It's just that he didn't cooperate with the method to perform it, but only used the sword formula, trying to kill the six wolf monsters with the long sword in his hand. The long sword trembled and fluttered, and the powerful sword energy instantly formed an air shield outside Lu Yun's body.Countless sword qi swept across and slashed vertically, hitting the three wolf demons in an instant, causing them to let out ear-piercing screams, and immediately turned into a wisp of black air and disappeared without a trace.With the sword energy flying freely, the cave suddenly flew sand and stones, and the broken stones turned into ashes. Lu Yun's figure was flying in the air, and the red light of the long sword burst out, and the extremely powerful sword energy forced the remaining three wolf demons to have nowhere to hide.Lu Yun proudly sneered and said, "Look at the sword." After saying that, the red light rose sharply, and layers of sword curtains formed a circular light shield, covering the three wolf monsters inside, and quickly gathered them together.The bodies of the three wolf demons flicked left and right, trying to rush out of the layers of sword screens, but when they touched the red sword light, their bodies shrank immediately.In the blink of an eye, each of the three wolf demons let out miserable screams, and their bodies were slowly swallowed by the red sword light. Lu Yun shook the long sword in his right hand, and a powerful sword energy, mixed with the breath of the fiery Tiangang sword art, combined with Yi Tian's twelve tactics, instantly swept away the dark air mass.A streak of black gas met Lu Yun's sword light in an instant, and two types of true energy with different properties exploded in an instant, and there were bursts of ear-piercing muffled sounds in mid-air. Lu Yun's scarlet sword light broke through the black gas in one fell swoop, and shot at the black shadow gas mass extremely quickly.Just when he was about to hit, suddenly a black brilliance flew out of the black air mass, meeting Lu Yun's sword light in an instant.There was a sound of gold and iron intersecting in mid-air, and the black brilliance shook Lu Yun's sword light back, which made Lu Yun a little surprised. Lu Yun carefully looked at the black brilliance that swirled and danced around the black air mass, and there was a hint of thought in his eyes.That thing looks like a wolf's tooth, but it's very thick and long, about three feet long.Lu Yun didn't expect that these monsters also know how to refine weapons, which is really not easy.It seems that there are still many things hidden here. Looking quietly at the fluttering spikes, Lu Yun's eyes instantly shone with brilliance, and an aura of standing proudly filled every part of the cave in an instant.A layer of cyan light slowly appeared on Lu Yun's body, and it was gradually strengthening.Taking a slight step forward, Lu Yun stared indifferently at the mysterious air mass in front of him, walking slowly. In the cave, there was a tense atmosphere, a duel between man and demon was about to start.In the cave, the intersecting light of blue and red reflected on the black brilliance, which looked very strange.The battle was imminent, and in the cave, there was a sudden cloudy wind, and countless howls and terrifying roars, just like the undead from hell crying, which made people feel frightened.What does the strangeness of this moment imply?
