03 I'm here to pick you up

Ji Chen has never been the kind of person who would obey the arrangements of fate.

Being forced by the system to do tasks was just because he wanted to return to the real world.

But being forced to marry someone, who was the person he least wanted to see, he would not accept his fate and sit and wait for death.

In the middle of the night, while everyone was asleep, Ji Chen sneaked out of the disciple's dormitory.

The moonlight outside was sparse and dark.

Ji Chen stumbled along the way up the mountain, facing the night, and moved forward with difficulty.

The sect was actually built on a platform halfway up the mountain.

But Ji Chen was going to the top.

The ban did not stop him, thinking that as long as he did not leave Changle Peak, he would be fine.

It took a whole night, and Ji Chen finally climbed from halfway up the mountain to the top, and he was already panting.

Who made him just a mortal now? His

physical strength is just that of an ordinary teenager.

The air on the top of the mountain is thin, especially since it snowed last night, it was so cold that it was outrageous.

Ji Chen hugged his arms together, shivering as he walked to the center of the top of the mountain.

There, a tall tower was built.

The tower was covered with sealing talismans and guarded by disciples who were guarding the soul.

But no one was imprisoned in the tower.

Only a sword was sealed.

——"Nian Chen".

That was Ji Chen's sword in his previous life.

After his death, the sword fell into the hands of the eldest disciple, but no one could use it, so it was sealed here.

This sword has its own spiritual root attributes, and it recognizes him as its master.

It can recognize his soul.

As long as he touches the sword, he can recover some spiritual power and cultivation.

As for whether he could recover to his original level, he was not sure.

In the past, Ji Chen did not want to have any connection with the past. Even when he was reborn in the sect of the eldest disciple, he did not want to recognize him.

Therefore, he did not want to touch the sword at all.

But now the situation forced him to use this method to escape the fate of being forced into marriage.

Ji Chen leaned towards the tower.

The disciple who was guarding the spirit saw a figure coming towards him from a distance, and immediately shouted: "Who is it!"

Ji Chen had a calm smile on his face, and took two quick steps over, "I am a disciple of the sect, Ji Chen."

"Ji Chen?"

Ji Chen knew that the other party did not recognize him.

The disciple who was guarding the spirit rarely left the tower, and it was estimated that he would not be there during the vote.

"I am the new disciple of the master. The master noticed that the barrier near the tower was moving abnormally, and was afraid that there were demons coveting "Nian Chen", so he sent me to check it out."

Ji Chen lied without any guilt, so the disciples who were guarding the spirit did not realize that he was lying for a while.

"In that case, then you should check it out quickly."

Ji Chen said, "We have to go in and take a look. "

The soul-guarding disciple lifted the seal without a second thought and opened the entrance to the barrier.

Ji Chen did not expect it to be so smooth.

He calmly followed the soul-guarding disciple into the tower, and climbed up with him floor by floor. There were

thirty-six

floors in total. Ji Chen couldn't go on after climbing a dozen floors.

All his energy was spent on climbing the mountain, and now he was asked to climb the tower again. Isn't that embarrassing?

After the soul-guarding disciple went up first, he found that there was no one behind him. He couldn't help but look down and wondered: "Daoyou, your strength is too poor, are you really the master's disciple? "

Ji Chen was still trying to force himself to do "extreme exercise". He was out of breath and had no time to reply to the man's question.

Finally, after going through untold hardships, Ji Chen climbed to the top of the tower.

The room at the top of the tower was very dark, without windows, and only with faint ambient light.

With the insignificant brightness, Ji Chen could barely tell that the space here was not large, but very empty.

The air was filled with a familiar aura.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if he had met a good friend who had not seen each other for many years.

At the end of the room, there was an exquisite sandalwood table.

In the whole room, there was nothing except this table.

And on the table, there was only a A sword is enshrined on a sword stand.

The blade is long and narrow, the scabbard is

made of silver, and the back of the sword is elegant. There is a silver lotus engraved on the hilt. It is a top-quality sword.

But it has lost its former glory.

Without the blessing of spiritual light, it has become no different from an ordinary sword blade.

Ji Chen was deeply moved when he thought about the fact that this sword was made of cold white abyss stone that he found under a coral in the deepest part of the North Sea in the far north, and that he used the true fire refined by his spiritual power to burn and cast it after eight years.

It's a pity that such a good sword has been hidden for so many years.

Before Ji Chen approached, the sword began to tremble by itself.

The disciple who was guarding the spirit was surprised: "What's going on?! "

Ji Chen's eyes were bright, rushing past that kept trembling, and he opened his thin lips softly: "I'm here to pick you up."

In an instant, a dazzling white spiritual light suddenly burst out from the sword like a volcanic eruption!

The spiritual light was extremely hot, and with an unstoppable momentum, it instantly illuminated the entire dark space.

It even passed through the top of the tower and rushed straight to the sky, causing the wind and clouds to change color.

This movement was not small.

The disciple who was guarding the spirit reacted suddenly, turned around and said fiercely to Ji Chen: "You are lying!"

"The headmaster clearly said that he would only accept one disciple!"
