Taoist Zhenlu entered the stone chamber.
Coming suddenly from the bright outdoors into the darker indoor space, everything in front of me suddenly darkened.
This change in light had no effect on the immortal cultivators, except that Taoist Zhenlu's blood rushed to his head, and he was already dizzy due to the anger.
He felt his eyes suddenly go dark, and he didn't notice the stone bench next to the stone table. He bumped into it and tripped so hard that he fell headfirst and landed on his face.
The sound of him falling was extremely loud, and the sound of his forehead hitting the stone ground was even louder and clearer, and Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel pain for him.
I don’t know if it was because the disaster knew that he was the one who forged the flowing light with his own hands, but Taoist Zhenlu was much more miserable than the previous two.
He was completely stunned and lay on the ground without moving for a long time. Chen Xiao was afraid that he might fall to his death, so he went over to help him up.
Taoist Zhenlu stood up with blood on his face. Chen Xiao felt that at this moment, his soul was no longer in his body.
When he helped the empty-faced Taoist Zhenlu to sit on the stone bench, Tao Yi outside couldn't help but said, "Chen Xiao, you should help him sit outside."
Tai Su coughed and said in a weak voice, "He has already fallen, he should be fine, just let him sit and calm down, don't move him."
Chen Xiao thought Tai Su's suggestion was practical, so he didn't touch him. Then he threw a wet towel into the basin beside him and asked Taoist Zhenlu to apply it on his face.
Taoist Zhenlu pressed the handkerchief on his face. He was an immortal cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, so it was no big deal for him to fall and bleed a little.
The reason why I was confused for so long was because I couldn't accept that I had made such a big fool of myself!
After wiping off the blood, Taoist Zhenlu revealed a purple face as if he had been punched hard. He was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to continue venting his anger towards Xi Yunting.
He threw the handkerchief on the stone table, frowned, and questioned Xi Yunting: "Master Xi, I have always admired you and knew that you are a gentleman who would take good care of the magic sword. But what I never expected was that Liuguang was ruined in your hands within a few days! Do you know how many kinds of precious top-grade materials I used to make this sword? I collected these materials and was reluctant to use them because I wanted to choose a worthy owner for them. But you!" As he spoke, Taoist Zhenlu got angry again. He pointed at himself angrily: "Are you dissatisfied with me, Zhu? Do you think the sword I made is not worthy of you?!"
How can Xi Yunting be blamed for this? He is also a victim.
Chen Xiao could not allow anyone to rub salt into Xi Yunting's wounds, not even Liu Guang's biological father, Taoist Zhenlu.
He frowned and said, "Master, we are all very sorry for the damage to Liuguang. But look at my elder brother, he was no less hurt than Liuguang. Liuguang was my elder brother's natal sword at that time. How desperate was he to blow up Liuguang in a way that would lead to mutual destruction? This was an accident that no one expected! So, please don't blame my elder brother, it was really beyond his expectation."
Tao Yi also spoke up, "Yes, Taoist Zhenlu. We all saw the sword with our own eyes at that time, and everyone praised it as a good sword. No one thought it was not suitable for Junior Brother."
The young disciple was seriously injured, and Tai Su didn't want Taoist Zhenlu to continue to disturb him, so he said, "If they didn't believe in your refining skills, how could everyone in the sect agree that you use Chongshan's own smelting furnace to forge it? Taoist, don't think too much, there must be a reason for this."
Several people took turns to explain and persuade, and although Taoist Zhenlu listened, he was still upset.
That was his best work to date, and it was gone inexplicably and confusingly.
What made him most regretful was that Liuguang came to the world without even leaving a name behind, and the world would not know that he, Taoist Zhenlu, had created such an outstanding magic sword.
What's worse is that he can no longer regard Liuguang as his proud work. When talking about famous swords, people always mention who the current owner is. If it's Liuguang, people will know that it was broken within ten days after it was made. They will think that he, the Taoist Zhenlu, made rotten copper and iron!
His reputation since his debut has been ruined in an instant. What bad luck!
The more Taoist Zhenlu thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't swallow his anger and said coldly, "If you want me to make another one, I'm afraid the conditions won't be the same as before."
All the good things in his private vault were taken out. They were his accumulation over hundreds of years. No matter how powerful the Chongxuan Sect was, it would take at least 30 to 50 years to raise enough of similar quality.
While Taoist Zhenlu was waiting for the materials, he stayed in the hall where the smelting furnace was placed and refused to leave. He couldn't open the furnace, but he could at least wait and see, right?
This time it is not so rushed, so he can observe carefully, which will be of great help to him.
Pinching his sparse beard, Taoist Zhenlu proudly waited for Taisu and the others to say good things.
Unexpectedly, the air suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke. When Taoist Zhenlu was a little embarrassed and couldn't get off the stage, Chen Xiao said with a stiff upper lip: "Well... my elder brother was injured this time, and the problem is serious. I'm afraid he won't be able to use his natal sword in the future. Just before the Taoist came, I decided to switch to the Xiuxin Sword School in the future..."
Taoist Zhenlu felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Master Zhenlu!" Chen Xiao was shocked.
"I'll do it!" Tao Yi flew in, grabbed Taoist Zhenlu under his armpits without touching the ground, and led him out of the stone chamber.
Tai Su shook his head at Chen Xiao and said, "Don't worry about it. Just take good care of Yun Ting." After that, the two of them took the devastated Taoist Zhenlu back to comfort him.
After all, Taoist Zhenlu is also a very outstanding swordsmith. There are many sword practitioners in the Chongxuan Sect, and who knows when they will need his help in the future.
Tai Su and Tao Yi did not want to fall out with Taoist Zhenlu because of this incident, so they had to comfort him for the mental damage he had suffered. Afterwards, he asked to stay next to the smelting furnace to discuss the matter, and his request was granted.
Taoist Zhenlu was overthinking it. Even if there was no job to forge another sword, the Chongxuan Sect would be happy to have him as a regular customer.
The sword practitioners of the Chongxuan School all practiced their natal swords, and did not practice the heart sword.
However, this is not a difficult task for a large sect like the Chongxuan Sect. Tai Su, who has not left the sect for many years and has been staying at home since falling ill, decided to go out himself and find his fellow practitioners to get one for his disciple.
Before leaving, he came to the cave and told Xi Yunting not to think about anything else for the time being and that it was important to maintain his mind and sea of consciousness.
Xi Yunting was not in a position to get up, so Chen Xiao escorted Tai Su out on his behalf.
Before leaving, Tai Su said to him: "Since you are Yun Ting's Taoist companion, you are also my half-disciple, so I will go the extra mile and give you a piece of advice."
Chen Xiao said respectfully: "Disciple is all ears."
Tai Su said: "Your rapid progress in cultivation is certainly an advantage, but you should also calm down and think carefully about what your Tao is, which is related to the formation of your domain. Although there are many cultivators in the world without a domain, those who can successfully ascend to heaven are the ones who have the clearest understanding of their own Tao. In addition, I asked Zhao Fang about the details of your Guangji trip and found that you relied too much on paper talismans and magic tools when fighting, which is not desirable for your future. You have the advantage of a companion magic tool, and you must not put the cart before the horse. No external force can be stronger than a companion magic tool."
It was said to be a piece of advice, but in fact, Tai Su gave Chen Xiao two very critical suggestions this time. For Chen Xiao, who had no master to guide him and was trying to cultivate immortality on his own, all of them were valuable advice.
Chen Xiao was filled with gratitude, bowed deeply and bid farewell to Tai Su.
This time the injury was different from the last time. The physical injuries were healed after taking three elixirs over three consecutive days.
However, the damage to the mind and the sea of consciousness cannot be cured simply by taking medicine. You can only rest quietly and honestly.
On the second day after Xi Yunting recovered, Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang, who had not been heard from for a long time, came, and Shi Fengdu also came with them.
Before the master and disciple had time to reminisce about the past, Chen Xiao was shocked by a piece of news brought by Shi Fengdu.
The Taizhen Zhongtian Realm is in crisis and is about to face the desperate situation of the collapse of heaven and earth!
Shi Fengdu came to ask for help from the Zhongxuan Sect. His master Bai Ai was good friends with Tai Su. Faced with this disaster that was beyond human control, the first person Bai Ai thought of was Tai Su.
Xi Yunting was shocked and couldn't help wondering, "Where did Master Bai Ai go? Why didn't he come in person?"
Shi Fengdu's handsome face was full of fatigue and worry. He said, "My master went to see several powerful seniors in the Tribulation Crossing Stage in person, and wanted to invite everyone to come and help, and jointly discuss and resolve this crisis."
Xi Yunting's face was still a little pale. He pursed his light-colored lips and said solemnly: "This is not an ordinary natural disaster. The collapse of heaven and earth cannot be solved."
Shi Fengdu gave a bitter smile: "Even if he knew, as the island master, Master would have to go all out. The entire Yingxian Island has become a mess, and the families and sects that know about it are already preparing to migrate."
Xi Yunting was slightly surprised and asked, "How long will it take?"
"Within a hundred years. The situation is not very clear now. There have only been a few landslides of varying degrees on the edge of the border mountain." Shi Fengdu said slowly, "You also know that the Atlas Tower of Taishen Tianjing is nearby. If the collapse spreads to the Atlas Tower, the people in Taishen Tianjing who remain in the Shenzhou Atlas will be finished!"
Shen Yanxing whispered to Chen Xiao, "My junior brother and I haven't arrived yet because of this big thing."
Chen Xiao nodded solemnly and said, "How is the sect?"
Shen Yanxing said: "With General Manager Du leading the entire sect and calming everyone down, there has been no trouble for the time being."
Chen Xiao frowned slightly and looked at Xi Yunting and Shi Fengdu who were talking with serious expressions.
Feiyan City, the main city of Luochen Great Heaven Realm, was formed by the fragments of the collapsed heaven realm thousands of years ago that floated over and collided with Luochen Great Heaven Realm.
The indigenous people living in the Shenzhou Atlas are the descendants of the immortal cultivators who were trapped in the collapsed heavenly realm.
Chen Xiao never thought that he would actually encounter something with a probability comparable to that of an asteroid hitting the earth.
Once the Taizhen Heaven Realm collapses, all the small heavens that it serves as the central connection will become "isolated islands", and become desperate places isolated from the world like the Zigui Heaven Realm!
