They said they had to be prepared, but in fact the Lichen Sect disciples did not immediately turn back and go in the direction of the gray smoke. Maybe some young disciples were slightly disturbed, but soon, under the leadership of Hua Xifeng and other experienced senior brothers, they continued towards the monastery.
Seeing that Yu Ci was a little confused, Li You smiled and patted his shoulder, explaining to him: "Have you forgotten? After the sword garden is opened, anyone can enter within thirty-six hours. Of course, early There is an advantage to going early, but we don’t care about the small profits, it is more serious to adjust our own situation.
Yu Ci said softly, and looked at Hua Xifeng, Xiao Lu and others in front of them. As expected, they were all calm and calm, and did not take the smoke and clouds over there as a problem. He couldn't help but admire them. This calm posture is not only the qi-nurturing skill that these people have practiced for many years, but also the confidence in their own abilities. Of course, it also has the deep confidence given to them by the behemoth of the Lichen Sect.
This kind of posture and aura originates from them and affects the surrounding junior disciples. Naturally, these Lichen Sect disciples on the mountain road are also integrated into it. Whether they can really put aside the influence of the distant noise or not, Or ignore the temptation of opportunities in the smoke. At least for now, they are walking on the mountain road. Compared with the chaotic scene around the smoke column, it is in another realm.
Yu Ci looked back again, but not to see the gray smoke clouds, but to look at the palace eaves on another mountain in the distance. He didn't know what those figures who could compete with the Lichen Sect would be. What kind of attitude?
The gray smoke rising into the sky was indeed continuing, starting from the evening until the next morning. Instead of showing signs of dissipating, it became increasingly dense. In Baiyun Jingshe, forty Lichen Sect monks rested for the night, and most of them adjusted their physical and psychological conditions.
Hua Xifeng, Xiao Lu, Zhao Fu, and Li Hong, the four leading figures among the fourth generation disciples, jointly announced at breakfast that this morning, all the disciples would join the sword garden, and now is the final preparation time. However, the monks who participated in this grand event had tidied up their homes early, and there was nothing to do in this area. Just after breakfast, they went to the heights in small groups, pointing at the smoke and gas pillars in the distance, and also discussing Next steps.
Tens of miles away, gray smoke pillars rose thousands of feet into the sky, shaking the atmosphere. Occasionally, a sharp whistle could be heard here. According to Li You, a "travel-savvy old horse", this whistle was actually the sound coming from the sword garden. The buried senior sword cultivators, who had endured the humiliation of defeat for many years, refused to settle down and released the resentful sword intent.
The combination of these sword intentions and the death energy that permeates the sword garden will produce many special ghosts, which are a threat to the monks who enter the sword garden, but it is also an opportunity. At this time, surrounding this pillar of smoke, thousands of monks rushed in, some lingered, and some were in a daze, showing all kinds of human nature.
"There's still a quarter of an hour left."
Yu Ci squinted at the sun and stood up from the ice and snow. Next to him, Li You and Zhang Yan were already ready and ready to go. Yu Ci looked back. Over the Baiyun Jingshe, Yu Zhou's white hair was fluttering. He looked at these rising stars of the sect with a smile. Sensing Yu Ci's gaze, the old Taoist nodded slightly to this side.
Grinning over there, Yu Ci moved his eyes to the higher mountain peaks, where the majestic figure of Huaxi Peak stood steadily. He didn’t say anything, but just made a gesture so that everyone around him could see clearly. gesture.
"Let's go!"
The sound of sword light piercing the sky was loud, and fifteen Dan Huan monks floated into the air together. The Bao Dan Zhensha, which had different properties but came from the same source, let go of thousands of qi, intertwining into an invisible and dense sea. The large net wrapped the remaining twenty-five fellow disciples in it, and yesterday's smoke barrier-like magic weapon was also spread out again, bearing a large part of the weight.
In this way, the forty people almost merged into one. The true evil sword light of Huandan monk interacted with the vitality of heaven and earth at the outermost periphery. From a distance, it looked like a giant cocoon glowing with silver light, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Quickly, hit the plume of smoke in the sky.
The Sword Garden is a very peculiar place. It is located in the Broken Mountains, but far away from the void. Legend has it that the two supreme swordsmen buried here used their great magical powers to distort space on the basis of the original cemetery. Therefore, geographically speaking, although there is an approximate number of the scope of the sword garden, once you actually enter it, the size of the space is really unpredictable and difficult to grasp.
On the outer layer of this strange and vast space, there is a unique circle of restrictions, covering the entire Sword Garden with incredible magical powers. Anyone who wants to enter by force will face all the people buried in the garden. The strongest counterattack from the sword cultivator’s remaining sword intent—including the power of the two sword immortals!
Such a terrifying impact, even the Earth Immortal standing at the top of this world must weigh it carefully.
Such a sword garden, only under certain conditions, will the entrance and exit of the sword garden be revealed, which is now the gray cloud and smoke pillar that reaches the sky and the earth. For outside monks, this is probably the only opportunity to enter and exit. , but that’s it, there are still conditions to pass the outer ban.
Sword Garden, Sword Garden, how can I enter the garden without a sword? So if you want to enter the sword garden, you must practice swordsmanship. And it is not the kind of casualness. Even if you are not a full-time swordsman, you must have certain attainments and standards. Those who are not good enough will be mercilessly turned away. Those who insist on breaking in may be afraid. In the blink of an eye, he will be crushed to pieces by the sword energy.
Taking the Lichen Sect as an example, Mo Kan selected forty monks from four divisions, all of whom were masters of swordsmanship. However, if you really think about it, there were only those disciples who had reached the realm of returning elixirs and had profound knowledge of swordsmanship. , only then can you be 100% sure of getting in, and the rest will all depend on chance. Under normal circumstances, getting more than half of it in is already a pretty impressive achievement.
Because of this, when the Lichen Sect troops rushed into the Huiyunyan Pillar, they would set up a formation, with fifteen Dan Huandan monks on the periphery to unify the energy and interweave the sword energy. Although everyone practiced different methods , but they are all derived from the sect's supreme immortal scripture "Tianfu Xuanwei Tongxuan Nine Degrees Sutra", and there is innate induction. This method can make forty people form a whole, advance and retreat together, which is very effective. A way to penetrate the restrictions.
Since the Sword Garden Festival, the Lichen Sect has spent most of its time trying to bring as many disciples as possible into the event. However, the most effective number of people is still around forty, and gradually, it has become a Habits, solidified.
The cocoon of silver light flew across the sky and had already broken through to the periphery of the gray cloud and smoke column. Here, there are still some monks who are hesitantly watching, and some who have been thrown out by the ban are dejected or yelling, but none of these can stop the light cocoon from coming. The thunder-like sword roar is breathtaking, and the monks along the way dodge and give way. A passage leads directly to the pillar of gray smoke.
At least one-third of the forty monks from the Lichen Sect have not been here for the first time. They have very good grasp of the formation and timing. It can be said that they are 120% sure of entering the Sword Garden. . However, things in the world are always difficult to grasp. Seeing the silver cocoon of light touching the outside of the cloud pillar and contacting the restriction, the internal and external sword intentions have intertwined with each other, creating a wonderful reaction. At that moment, wind and thunder broke out on the ground!
A dark ray of light, soundless, emerged from the huge gray cloud and smoke column, without any buffering room, and collided with the silver cocoon in front of it. The path of the black light was only a few minutes, and it looked very slender, but at the moment of collision, there was a sudden roar like thunder.
"Ureso!"
At this time, at least half of the people recognized this magical weapon, but the timing of the black shuttle flying was too good. Hua Xifeng, who was in charge of the formation, had only time to strengthen the sword energy at the impact point, so he let this strike Yin Lei hit. Amidst the explosion, the sword light wrapped in the outer layer of the giant silver cocoon was turbulent like water waves. Along with the sword intention seal that had been touched, it also swayed a little and changed with every movement!
Hua Xifeng's narrow eyes shot out with a sharp light like a knife. The sword light in charge of the sword formation did not move, and another nearly transparent sword light flew out with a sound, and disappeared in mid-air. In the pillar of smoke and cloud, following the Uleisuo, someone flew out and hit the invisible sword light head-on. There was a sound of "Oops" and blood spattered in the air. The man's castration was faster than the incoming force, and he was knocked back. His half-hateful, half-satisfied howl could still be heard:
"Master Xifeng, is this how you make fun of an old friend? I'll wait for you in the sword garden!"
Hua Xifeng put away his sword expressionlessly. The light of the sword entered his body, and with a slight shake, all the blood on it fell away, leaving no dirt on it. However, the battle was now in chaos and no one could save them.
"The mind is clear and the mind is calm, the sword energy is shining outside, and everyone is at peace with their destiny. If you can't get in, don't force it!"
Hua Xifeng ordered in a deep voice, but before he finished speaking, the vast world behind the gray clouds and smoke pillars had already opened to him amidst the sound of Yin Yin swords, and the rich death energy and spiritual energy were mixed and sprayed out, and there was another slight dizziness. He had rushed through the air current and came to a world of endless gray.
There is a layer of gray haze between the sky and the earth, and as far as the eye can see, there is an endless plain. Hua Xifeng's eyesight was very strong, but when he looked so far away, there was not a single person within his line of sight. Because of this, even if he got in successfully, Hua Xifeng's face showed no joy. After all the twists and turns, how many people could get in like him?
He quickly put aside this useless thought, closed his eyes and meditated. The heaven and earth communicated with each other and responded to the full spread of the Dafa. His mind was like a spread out disk, and the breath of deep memories was like a rolling ball on the disk. It’s vivid in my mind.
"One, two, three...twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six!"
After counting twice more, Hua Xifeng smiled bitterly. The sword power he used to lead the Sword Garden was not once or twice, but like now, it was the first time that he lost one-third of his fellow disciples in one fell swoop. .
He released the sect’s unique communication flying star, which was red in color. Seeing this, fellow sects within a hundred miles would also release flying stars to report their safety, and then gather together, and at the same time, it could also guide the path for fellow sects further away. The space of the Sword Garden is distorted, and a misalignment when entering can lead to a misalignment of thousands of miles. Originally, this misalignment would be minimized by the sword formation, but now it is no longer a concern.
For a full hour, only twenty people gathered around him. These were all within a radius of 500 miles, and there were six more who were far away. I'm afraid they didn't even see the contact flying star.
"Hey, why is Junior Brother Yu missing?"
Li You's voice seemed a bit abrupt in the dull atmosphere. Hua Xifeng interrupted his thoughts and looked up, and saw another junior fellow from the Empirical Department responding:
"Maybe he didn't come in?"
"Impossible!" Li You's voice was very certain: "Junior Brother Yu has achieved his sword intention early and is extremely pure. How can he be excluded?"
Even in the Lichen Sect, there are very few people who can condense the sword intent in the realm of divine connection. Hua Xifeng thought about it and remembered the last person recorded yesterday. He closed his eyes and observed carefully for a moment, then nodded and said: "He came in, but he was far away..."
At this point, he shook his head: "It's already thousands of miles away. It's hard to measure the exact distance. I can only vaguely sense it."
"So unlucky!" Li You opened his mouth wide upon hearing this.
