Ding Ding Little Stone
Chapter 379: Will You Die Together or One by One?
His destination this time was Luoxiantai in Mengze, Yunzhou.
This was a relatively well-known immortal mountain in Yunzhou. Its fame stemmed from the passing away of a Huayang Realm expert here more than a hundred years ago, hence the name Luoxiantai (Fallen Immortal Platform).
It was rumored that the inheritance of that expert was hidden here, but for more than a hundred years, countless people had tried to obtain the inheritance, only to ultimately fail.
However, Ye Chenbai added a piece of information at the end.
He said that since a month ago, the heaven and earth vitality here had become somewhat chaotic. Some busybodies claimed that the inheritance of that expert was about to be born, but the credibility was low.
Few people were willing to believe it.
However, there were always some people who believed in miracles. According to the information from Dengxianlou (Ascension Tower), several Tongxuan experts from Yunzhou and the nearby Qingzhou area had recently headed towards Mengze Mountain.
As for the Dan Realm grandmasters, there was no movement.
They seemed not to believe in the matter.
"Could it be that Brother Chen is also going for the Huayang inheritance?" Ye Chenbai looked at Chen Yuan with some suspicion.
The fact that the other party suddenly mentioned Mengze Mountain seemed a bit problematic to him.
Chen Yuan did not answer directly, but instead asked:
"Does Dengxianlou think there will be an inheritance here?"
Ye Chenbai pondered for a moment, carefully saying:
"According to the records of my Dengxianlou, that Huayang expert did indeed most likely pass away here, but the matter of inheritance remains to be considered. The reason why those Dan Realm grandmasters are not tempted is actually because someone has investigated it.
The vitality anomaly is just a movement of the earth veins. The probability of a Huayang inheritance appearing is very low."
Chen Yuan solemnly nodded:
"I see."
However, he didn't think that way in his heart. Since the Destiny Altar had guided him, then the inheritance of this Huayang Real Person should not be fake, but it was just more hidden.
Of course, he would naturally not tell anyone this news.
It would be good to have less competition.
He didn't want anything unexpected to happen when he took the opportunity.
"Brother Chen is going?"
"Originally, I was going to Yunzhou anyway. Since this news is circulating in the Jianghu, it wouldn't be a big deal to take a trip," Chen Yuan said casually.
"Well, maybe Brother Chen, with his great destiny, might really be able to find the inheritance," Ye Chenbai smiled readily, but he didn't think so in his heart.
That place had already been investigated by experts, and there was almost no possibility of any changes.
How could Chen Yuan really have such an opportunity just by going there?
He was just saying it casually.
Then, Chen Yuan put down the intelligence in his hand, changed the topic, and talked about other things with Ye Chenbai.
The two talked the most about the upcoming Dengxian Battle.
The Dengxian Battle always had a fixed time, a cycle of every ten years, with the time set on the ninth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, which was only about three months away.
It could be said that it would arrive in an instant.
According to some recent intelligence from Dengxianlou, those young geniuses who intended to compete for the Dengxian Fruit had already begun to emerge, and the competition for the Qianlong Ranking had been very fierce recently.
As in the past, only the top fifty geniuses on the Qianlong Ranking were qualified to participate in the battle.
And the vast majority of them were just going through the motions. Only the top ten geniuses on the Qianlong Ranking had the hope of defeating everyone and winning the Dengxian Fruit.
As for the rules, Ye Chenbai's answer was the same as Jiang He's.
They were never fixed.
For example, the last Dengxian Battle was a arena battle. Based on experience, this session would definitely be very different from the last one.
As for the use of the Dengxian Fruit, Ye Chenbai told Chen Yuan this time.
He didn't say it before because he only had hope for Chen Yuan, but not much hope, so knowing it was useless. But now it was different. Being one of the Four Extremes of the Qianlong Ranking, he had a very good chance of competing for the Dengxian Fruit.
The reason why the Dengxian Fruit was called the Dengxian Fruit was twofold. First, it was named after the reward for the Dengxian Battle. Second, it could repair the Yuan Shen, purify the Yuan Shen,
and enhance aptitude.
And it was of great use to warriors in forming the Dan.
Among them, this thing had the greatest effect on Huayang Real People, because Huayang Real People cultivated the Yuan Shen.
Therefore, to be able to win the Dengxian Fruit, one must also have the ability to protect this thing.
In the past, there had been incidents of the Dengxian Fruit being snatched.
Later, those warriors with no background or a shallow background would swallow this fruit in Martial Emperor City. In this way, although there would be a great waste,
at least the idea of being coveted was reduced.
Only those disciples of the Ten Great Immortal Sects or top aristocratic families could have their elders protect them to ensure that the Dengxian Fruit was safe and sound.
After listening to Ye Chenbai's account, Chen Yuan nodded on the surface to show that he understood, but in his heart he thought of the Dao Shrine. In this way, the Dao Shrine was so persistent in the Dengxian Fruit.
It should be that a master of the Dao Shrine needs this thing to repair the Yuan Shen.
Afterwards, Ye Chenbai also told Chen Yuan that the Dengxian Fruit that was produced this time was the best batch in nearly a hundred years, and it was definitely an extremely high-quality spiritual object, so he must treat it with caution.
If he could swallow this thing, it would be a great thing for Chen Yuan.
Because what can produce the Dengxian Fruit is the legendary Immortal Tree, one of the Three Great Immortal Roots.
It was transported from an ancient relic by the first city lord of Martial Emperor City with supernatural powers.
This tree has always only been a legend. Even the warriors in Martial Emperor City, only the current city lord of Martial Emperor City has seen this immortal tree.
Getting these secrets from Ye Chenbai, Chen Yuan felt that his trip was worthwhile.
After drinking the spiritual tea, the two did not disperse.
Ye Chenbai arranged a high-end banquet to entertain Chen Yuan. The wine was spiritual wine, a good wine that Ye Chenbai brought from Martial Emperor City, which was measured by Yuan Crystals in the outside world.
The dishes were good dishes, including several dishes of demon beast meat.
The most precious of these was a fish. According to Ye Chenbai, this fish had no thorns, was a natural spiritual fish, and its meat was tender. Usually, it was supplied to Huayang Real People in Martial Emperor City.
This time, it was a coincidence that Xiang Jing originally used it to entertain Jiang He.
After he learned that Chen Yuan had arrived in Qingzhou City, he requisitioned this spiritual fish.
Listening to Ye Chenbai's description, Chen Yuan couldn't help but move his index finger when looking at the spiritual fish. He picked up a quick and put it in his mouth, and it did melt in his mouth.
It was as if he was not eating fish, but a mouthful of rich spiritual energy.
It was a pity that he was now considered to have some achievements in cultivation, otherwise, if he was in the Ninggang Realm, this mouthful of spiritual fish would be enough to save him a month of cultivation.
Of course, this was just a metaphor.
If he was really in the Ninggang Realm, he would not be able to digest such a rich spiritual energy.
On this day, both of them drank a little too much.
In front of Dengxianlou, Ye Chenbai said goodbye to Chen Yuan, cupping his hands and saying:
"Brother Chen, see you again in Martial Emperor City in the East Sea."
"Okay."
......
......
After leaving Dengxianlou, Chen Yuan returned to the Sky Patrol Division and spent several days cultivating silently in it. He directly ignored anyone who wanted to invite him to a banquet.
During the process of cultivation, Chen Yuan also asked Jiang He for advice several times.
The other party had a commanding view, and could often see Chen Yuan's cultivation problems at a glance. Although it was just a few words of guidance, it still added a lot of strength to Chen Yuan.
The most among them was the 'Hualong' (Dragon Transformation) move he created before.
This move was very strong, but the backlash it brought was also huge. He would not use this move to fight the enemy unless he had to. Under Jiang He's guidance,
he had also made great progress.
Jiang He did not tire of Chen Yuan's guidance. Often, when Chen Yuan wanted to see him, he could get his consent, which made the Sky Patrol Division people envious.
Such treatment was enough to rival the two Dan Realm Vice Envoys.
It is worth mentioning that, under Jiang He's introduction, Chen Yuan also got to know the two Qingzhou Vice Envoys. The two sides started off quite politely, and those two did not condescendingly provoke him.
They completely regarded Chen Yuan as a master of the same level.
One was because of Jiang He's reason. Jiang He had been the Qingzhou Golden Envoy for several years and had already convinced them. Even if they belonged to different factions, they were still obedient subordinates in front of him.
Because Jiang He really dared to kill people if they didn't agree.
They had personally witnessed Jiang He taking a Vice Envoy who didn't cooperate as a flag sacrifice when he had just taken office.
The second reason was that Chen Yuan had shown his strength to kill grandmasters, so it was not an exaggeration to equate his status with that of a grandmaster.
Inside the Sky Patrol Hall.
After another report, Chen Yuan met Jiang He.
The other party was closing his eyes and breathing, with an invisible force wrapped around his body. All the sharpness around him was hidden. At a glance, he looked like a divine sword that had been sheathed.
"What's the matter?"
"Your subordinate is here to say goodbye."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said.
He had spent almost enough time in Qingzhou City these few days. What should be said and what should be known had been achieved, and it was time to prepare to leave for Yunzhou.
Jiang He slowly opened his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes:
"Have you decided?"
"Yes."
Jiang He nodded slightly, and did not stop him any further. From his previous words, it could be seen that Chen Yuan's cultivation path was different from ordinary people, and everything he did was very purposeful.
He had secretly paid attention to him these few days, and could see that the other party's cultivation level was improving not slowly, but there was still a long way to go before he reached the peak of Tongxuan.
Perhaps this time he was going to improve his cultivation level.
"Take it."
Jiang He raised his hand, and a stream of light flew into Chen Yuan's hand from his sleeve.
It was a communication talisman.
Chen Yuan had used the last one of these things, and now it just made up for it.
"Thank you, sir."
Chen Yuan clasped his fists and bowed.
How precious was a sound transmission talisman that could transmit thousands of miles?
But he did not lack this thing in his hand. Whenever he used it up, Jiang He would give him another one, which also showed the importance that the Dao Shrine and Jiang He attached to Chen Yuan.
Even the direct disciples of the Ten Great Immortal Sects would probably find it difficult to compare.
He did not say anything polite, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and left the Sky Patrol Division.
Jiang He stared for a moment, then closed his eyes again and continued to cultivate.
......
......
Ten miles outside Qingzhou City.
Dozens of young men dressed in green clothes and carrying long swords were sitting cross-legged, closing their eyes and breathing.
These people were wearing uniform clothes, which showed that they came from the same sect.
And there was only one sword sect near Qingzhou City.
Qingyun Sword Sect (Azure Cloud Sword Sect).
Not long after, a person came riding a sword and landed slowly from the void, awakening dozens of Qingyun Sword Sect disciples who were sitting in meditation. They all got up to greet him.
"Senior Brother Wu."
"Junior Brother Wu."
"Greetings, fellow junior brothers."
The man called Senior Brother Wu had a jade-like face, extraordinary bearing, stood upright, and his demeanor was obviously extraordinary. This person was the eldest senior brother of this generation of Qingyun Sword Sect.
He and Gu Hao were once jointly known as the Qingyun Double Swords.
It was just that he did not have any background, and was later severely suppressed by Gu Hao. But since Gu Hao died, he became the most outstanding senior brother of this generation of Qingyun Sword Sect again.
However, he knew that with this alone, becoming an elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect was his limit.
If he wanted to have a more ambitious future, he must marry Junior Sister Xiao.
But recently, Junior Sister Xiao's mood had been very low, and she had not left Qingyun Mountain for several days in a row. After his investigation, he learned that the Demon Saber Chen Yuan had come!
!
It was because of him that Junior Sister Xiao had been in a low mood these past few days, and had even forgotten the trip to Qingzhou City that she had promised before.
After this period of time, after his efforts, the relationship between him and Junior Sister Xiao had made great progress, but there was still a chasm between them.
That was the death of Junior Brother Gu Hao!
He could feel that Junior Sister Xiao was very concerned about this matter, and the biggest reason was because of Chen Yuan. It was probably already breeding a demon in her heart, especially as Chen Yuan became famous in the Jianghu.
It made Junior Sister Xiao even more depressed.
Therefore, after some consideration, Wu Zongxian decided to challenge Chen Yuan!
Of course, he also knew how big the gap between them was. Even though his cultivation had recently been promoted to the late stage of Tongxuan with the help of the sect, preparing to participate in the Dengxian Battle,
the gap between him and Chen Yuan was still too big.
Challenging Chen Yuan rashly would probably not even pay attention to him, and if he really paid attention to him, he would not escape death.
He must have other means.
After being reminded by a close junior brother, he understood that he did not need to take action himself to challenge Chen Yuan. He could invite other masters in the sword sect who were dissatisfied with Chen Yuan to take action together.
Even if he could not defeat Chen Yuan, if he could draw a tie with the Four Extremes of the Qianlong Ranking, he would probably be able to win Junior Sister Xiao's heart.
The only pity was that the junior brother who made the suggestion had something to do today and could not come here....
"Junior brothers, the thief Chen is coming in this direction at this moment. If anyone wants to withdraw now, Wu will definitely not blame him." Wu Zongxian said in a deep voice.
"Senior Brother Wu, don't worry. Since we dare to come, we are not afraid of death."
"That's right. Chen Yuan humiliated our Qingyun Sword Sect and killed Senior Brother Gu. We have always remembered this hatred in our hearts."
Everyone echoed.
Sword cultivators are mostly unyielding.
Most of the people who came did not have any other thoughts in their hearts. They just wanted to defeat Chen Yuan and save some face for the sect. Since Chen Yuan killed Gu Hao and Jiang He killed Gu Chun with a sword,
the Qingzhou Jianghu warriors had been mocking the Qingyun Sword Sect, saying that the dignified Seven Sects, with hundreds of sword cultivators, did not have a single man who dared to fart after being suppressed by Chen Yuan.
These words deeply stung many disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
But the sect had an order not to provoke Chen Yuan without authorization, and the grievances between the two sides had ended.
These words made many disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect even more indignant. Their Qingyun Sword Sect had stood in Qingzhou for hundreds of years, and had rarely been so aggrieved.
These angers were brewing.
Under Wu Zongxian's secret call to arms, there were many responders.
In the end, Wu Zongxian selected the most elite part of them, preparing to form a sword formation to deal with Chen Yuan.
He really did not have the confidence to stop the legendary Demon Saber, but if he formed a large formation, it would be different. Today, the ones who came here were fellow brothers.
Including him, there were a total of seven Tongxuans.
And the cultivation of these people was not low, most of them were senior brothers of the previous generation.
There were not many Tongxuan warriors in this generation, and there were not many responders. They had to use the power of other senior brothers.
The Qingyun Sword Sect, which had been around for hundreds of years, still had a deep foundation, and a few Tongxuan disciples could be easily taken out.
"Okay, then we will let Chen Yuan know today that the Qingyun Sword Sect cannot be humiliated!"
Wu Zongxian said loudly.
On the other side, Chen Yuan was flying through the air, drawing a faint stream of light in the void, rushing towards Yunzhou, but he did not relax his vigilance in his heart.
Before in Qingzhou City, he could feel many eyes watching him.
Among them, there was attention, curiosity, but also hostility.
He knew very well that he was not very safe near Qingzhou City. Although he did not have many enemies, each of them was the kind that ordinary people could not reach.
Fortunately, there was Jiang He's deterrence before, and no one dared to really take action.
But it seemed that not everyone could be deterred.
Looking at the dozens of sword-riding figures flying in the air in the distance, Chen Yuan frowned imperceptibly. Although they were far apart, with his eyes, he could still see the costumes on the other party very clearly.
Qingyun Sword Sect!
His eyes turned cold, and a killing intent and disappointment flashed in his eyes. It was a pity that there was no Son of Destiny on the other party that made his eyes light up.
"Chen Yuan!
!"
Wu Zongxian had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Chen Yuan, seeing that the other party had slowed down his pace, he immediately gave a stern shout, pinched his sword fingers, and rode his sword towards the other party.
As soon as he moved, the other Qingyun Sword Sect disciples behind him also moved.
Driving the swords under their feet, they were like sword immortals....
Most of them were Ninggang warriors, but Ninggang cultivation could also fly in the air for a short time. If they were matched with swords, they could stay for a long time.
"Blocking my way, are you looking for death?"
Chen Yuan looked calmly at the group of Qingyun Sword Sect disciples in front of him. No one could make him feel even a trace of danger. They were basically here to die.
His eyes were also like those of a dead man.
"Arrogant and conceited, Chen Yuan, Wu knows that you are known as the Four Extremes of the Qianlong Ranking, and you have a record of killing grandmasters, but we are not afraid. What if we die?"
Wu Zongxian stared at Chen Yuan, with a solemn and tragic expression.
The Qingyun Sword Sect disciples behind him were also moved, and they all glared at Chen Yuan.
"The previous grievances have been settled. Are you trying to start another war?" Chen Yuan glanced at them.
"Settled? Humph, Chen Yuan, are you really ignorant? It is because of you that my Qingyun Sword Sect has been looked down upon by the Jianghu for no reason. Wu has always kept this in mind these past few months.
It just so happens that you have come to Qingzhou City, so let's have a competition."
"If you win, from now on, Wu will retreat three times when I see you. If we win, you must in the future...."
Wu Zongxian's words were not finished, and Chen Yuan raised his hand and interrupted him impatiently:
"So much nonsense. Are you preparing to die together, or die one by one?"
