Chapter 256: Promise of the Past

After refining the magic sword, Chen Luo began to try his hand at alchemy, drawing talismans, and even formations, to improve the proficiency between his hands and his brain.

When Chen Luo was in seclusion, the news of his return to the mountain gradually spread. Many old friends received the news. Ding Xiaoxia, the inner disciple who had received Chen Luo's guidance, was very excited and went to the back mountain to find Chen Luo in person. There was also Du De, the senior brother who came out of the tomb with Chen Luo, and Lian Qiang and Chu Hongye, the brothers who had done missions with him.

The foundation-building elders of the same generation still brought a great shock to these people.

However, these people all have their own pride. Except for Ding Xiaoxia, no one came to the door, not even the eldest brother Dude.

"The old man's aura is getting stronger, and the speed of this increase seems more and more wrong."

After finishing his training, Chen Luo did not leave the secret room. His spiritual sense was extremely powerful. At such a close distance, he could sense more clearly the abnormality of the Immortal Sect's leader.

However, the situation on the top of the mountain was very strange. Even with Chen Luo's spiritual sense, he could not penetrate the innermost layer of power. He could only vaguely feel that the aura inside was becoming stronger, like a furnace, and there was no sign of collapse at all.

The decline that a normal cultivator experiences before death did not occur in the leader of the immortal sect.

Chen Luo was not the only one who had doubts.

The Corpse Cultivation Sect and the Nine Poison Valley also noticed it, and after half a year, the two sects came to visit again. The excuse for the visit was the three sects' newcomer competition. The sects had had similar exchanges before, but that was during the period when the three sects had a close relationship. Since the three sects' war more than 20 years ago, the exchanges between the younger generation have been interrupted. This time it was considered to be brought up again, and the purpose is self-evident.

thunderbolt!

The sky suddenly darkened, a dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and crystal clear raindrops fell amid thunder, soaking the sky in the blink of an eye. A large amount of water vapor emerged in the air, shrouding the entire Shenhu Xianmen. From afar, it looked foggy, like a holy land of immortals.

Two huge flying boats cut through the rain and landed outside the Shenhu Xianmen.

It is the flying boat used by the Corpse-Raising Sect and the Nine Poison Valley.

"Welcome all fellow practitioners to our sect."

The master of Shenhu Peak flew up, and the spiritual energy around his body formed a spherical spiritual energy shield, which wrapped him up completely inside, preventing the rain from touching him.

"Just don't chase people away, but don't show your displeasure on your face like in this weather."

Three pale-faced Corpse-Raising Sect monks landed from the flying boat, followed by more than twenty young disciples. These were the Corpse-Raising Sect's new disciples, responsible for participating in this exchange meeting.

"The three sects are of the same blood. The Taoists from the Immortal Sect are also our friends. Maybe we can become fellow disciples in the future." The people on the flying boat of the Nine Poison Valley also landed, and the leading cultivator spoke.

The Nine Poison Valley also had three foundation-building cultivators leading the team, and the rest were all young disciples. Unlike these senior masters at the foundation-building stage, the young disciples were full of vigor and wanted to win a good place in the sect competition.

The clarity and innocence in his eyes, as well as his yearning for cultivating immortals, were all written on his face.

A few of the Tianjiao seeds even started to compete with each other in private, but these actions were seen by the elders of the foundation building. They did not stop them, as long as no one died, they would let them do whatever they wanted.

Chen Luo also stood among the elders.

He had never participated in the sect competition since he joined the Shenhu Xianmen. At that time, his senior brother Hu Qiudao mentioned this to him, but Chen Luo was so focused on cultivation at that time that he didn't pay attention to it at all. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to participate this time, as an elder.

"Everyone, please."

The master of Shenhu Peak had a smile on his face, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Jiudu Valley's words about building the foundation.

A group of people who were in the foundation-building stage flew into the mountains. As for the younger ones in the Qi Refining stage, they were naturally responsible for it.

After entering Shenhu Peak, the two sects took out the rewards prepared by their respective sects. The reward for the Corpse Cultivation Sect was a thousand-year-old coffin fungus, and the reward for the Nine Poison Valley was anti-venom liquid, both of which were rare treasures. As the acting head, the Lord of Shenhu Peak also took out the prizes of the Immortal Sect.

Next, the three leaders began to arrange the details of the competition.

Chen Luo lost interest after listening for a while, and turned to leave Shenhu Peak. There were many people who left like him. They were all foundation-building cultivators, and no one would waste time on things they were not interested in. Moreover, the two sects' visitors obviously had other purposes. If they had the time, they might as well think about how to solve the following problems.

Chen Luo returned to Wudao Peak. He was the only one on the mountain who was building a foundation.

Huang Ying and Wu Wei Zhenren both went down the mountain. Huang Ying took Senior Sister Shen back to her hometown because their family encountered some troubles. Wu Wei Zhenren was taken away by Senior Sister Bai Su. Thinking of this weird master's wife who was promoted from a senior sister, Chen Luo couldn't help but want to laugh.

He also didn't expect that the marriage pill he casually made would have such miraculous effects. However, this medicinal effect was probably related to Bai Su's physique. For ordinary people, it was just a useless pill.

"Elder Chen is quite elegant."

A voice suddenly sounded, and Chen Luo looked up.

A Nine Poison Valley foundation-building cultivator wearing a black robe was standing at the door, and it seemed that he had come specifically to find him.

"You came pretty quickly. Are you not going to take care of what's going on over there?"

Chen Luo smiled. He recognized this person when they met before. This person was the sword cultivation genius who had gone down the mountain with him at the beginning, and later switched to Jiudu Valley, Mo Wenjian.

"Trivial things should be left to trivial people."

Mo Wenjian lifted the hood on his head, revealing the pale face underneath. He looked almost the same as before, with a handsome face, flying black hair, and the sword energy around him was even more fierce. When he revealed his face, his whole body was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, emitting amazing sword energy.

The sword energy dissipated and shattered by itself when it got close to Chen Luo. With Chen Luo's current realm, he could completely ignore this level of sword energy.

"As expected of my nemesis, he has built his foundation just like me."

Still so stunned!

Chen Luo looked at Mo Wenjian and couldn't help but be amused.

As soon as this guy picks up the sword, he will become a fool. To put it nicely, he is proud, but to put it bluntly, he is stupid.

"Really?"

"Do you remember what I said before? When I build my foundation, I will definitely come to fight you, to avenge my previous humiliation and let you understand the power of sword cultivation."

Mo Wenjian raised his hand, and the scabbard behind him trembled. The pitch-black magic sword flew out from behind and fell into his hand. The aura around his body condensed, forming circles of circular sword energy with Mo Wenjian as the center.

"Let's just forget it."

I sensed the realm of Mo Wenjian.

In the early stage of foundation building, there were five spiritual dragons. He could indeed be considered a genius among his peers, but in Chen Luo's eyes, this kind of strength was just like that of a junior, and he had no interest in taking action. Not to mention the curse power of the Silver Armor Corpse King and the Demon Sect Master, his realm alone was enough to suppress Mo Wenjian so that he could not move.

"Draw your sword."

Mo Wenjian's eyes were burning, he had been thinking about this battle since he established his foundation. This time when he heard about the mission related to Shenhu Xianmen, he accepted it without saying a word, with the purpose of completing this agreed battle.

As long as he defeats Chen Luo, he will have overcome the first mountain in his life.

Afterwards, you will soar into the sky and dominate the world!

"There's no one here, so it's not shameful to be defeated by me. I won't tell anyone about this either." The aura on Mo Wen's sword became stronger and stronger, and the sword made a slight sound as it vibrated.

This person is indeed a talented swordsman.

Seeing this, Chen Luo had no choice but to stand up. He did not use the magic sword, but picked up a wooden stick from the side. He was afraid that he would kill Mo Wenjian with the magic sword, but the wooden stick was safe, and no one would die even if his hand was off.

"What do you mean?"

Mo Wenjian's face suddenly changed. He felt that he had been greatly humiliated. He had traveled thousands of miles to come here, gathering sword energy for more than 20 years, and was ready to fight in an upright manner, but the other party actually used a stick to humiliate him.

"Watch it."

Chen Luo was too lazy to explain to him. The corresponding memories emerged in Wang Mingyi's brain, the same sword cultivation and sword intent!

As the Qingmu sword intent gathered, a ray of light green light emerged on the wooden stick in Chen Luo's hand.

A green sword lotus blossomed under Chen Luo's feet, and the place where he stood seemed to have turned into a sword that soared into the sky, with sword energy soaring into the sky. Mo Wenjian's eyelids twitched wildly, and the slight dissatisfaction disappeared completely, replaced by shock and disbelief.

"Sword Intention?!"

call out!

What responded to him was Chen Luo's sword from top to bottom.

quick!

As fast as lightning, the exploding Green Lotus sword energy was like a violent storm. The sword energy that Mo Wenjian had spent a long time condensing was instantly cut off by this force. Not only that, the sword in his hand was also trembling and wanted to fly over and join the Green Lotus sword energy.

In this situation, let alone fighting, he couldn't even redirect his sword energy.

boom!!

A huge rock on the side of the mountain was hit by the sword energy and exploded. The broken rock split into two and fell down the mountain in two halves. After a long time, the sword energy subsided, the wind died down, and even the moisture on the mountain was cut away.

With a crisp "crack" sound, the wooden stick in his hand exploded into pieces.

Wake Mo Wenjian up from his shock.

".Is this your sword intent?" Mo Wenjian asked in a hoarse voice with red eyes.

Sword Intention is the first hurdle in sword cultivation. Mo Wenjian has been practicing for more than 40 years, but he still hasn't comprehended Sword Intention. However, Chen Luo, a magic cultivator, has mastered Sword Intention before him. For Mo Wenjian, this is even more painful than killing him.

"It's not difficult. You can learn it with just a little practice."

Chen Luo walked over and patted Mo Wenjian on the shoulder, dispersing the sword energy around him.

"I told you not to fight."

"It turns out to be my nemesis!"

After a brief moment of frustration, Mo Wenjian regained his spirits. He sheathed his sword and looked at Chen Luo with fiery eyes.

"Wait until I have achieved the elixir, and then I will come and fight you."

Chen Luo was speechless after hearing these familiar words. But he did not stop the other party. He had just broken his confidence, so it would be good for him to set a new goal.
