The cold is gone and spring is here. With the first slightly warm breeze, another year has quietly passed.
Spring went and autumn came, the leaves fell and turned yellow, and sixteen months had passed since Yun Che's "fall".
No matter how bright the light is, it will gradually dim as time goes by. Although Yun Che's glory was only a flash in the pan, the influence he left behind is long-lasting. Although it is not as enthusiastic as it was at the beginning, the name "Yun Che" still rings in every corner of the Blue Wind Empire from time to time. And for those young profound practitioners who have no sect background and have beautiful fantasies, he has become a spiritual belief.
Tianjian Villa.
At four o'clock in the morning, when the sky was just getting light, a young man in light sword clothes walked to the sword-controlling platform in the dim light. When his footsteps touched the first brick of the platform, a long sword emitting a mysterious light fell from the sky, landed in his hand, and danced freely along his arm.
Ling Jie is now a 17-year-old boy, his face is less immature and more resolute, and his eyes are as sharp as a sword. His current profound strength has reached the ninth level of the Profound Spirit Realm, and he is only one step away from the peak of the Profound Spirit Realm, and his sword intentions and sword heart are becoming more and more superb.
The Tianyang Sword in his hand swung circles of dazzling light. As he danced in his hand, the air around him became chaotic, and the flight paths of the flying swords above the Sword Control Platform also changed significantly. His talent was recognized to be stronger than Lingyun, and at the same time, he worked harder than Lingyun. After the ranking battle, he never left Tianjian Villa again. He started and ended his days with sword practice. In terms of strength, he was approaching Lingyun step by step.
In comparison, Ling Yun has been troubled by his inner demons for some time and has made very little progress.
As for his inner demon, most of it came from Xia Qingyue, and a small part came from Yun Che.
As the sword energy whistled, the sky above the Sword Control Platform became brighter and brighter. Finally, the first ray of sunlight shone down from the east, and the Tianyuan Sword turned into a dazzling stream of light and broke through the air, creating a vacuum zone dozens of feet wide among the group of flying swords, and then flew down swiftly and fell into his scabbard.
"call!"
Ling Jie let out a long breath and sat down on the ground. He wiped the sweat on his head and looked at the Xing Tian Sword that towered into the sky. He was stunned for a while. After a long time, he took a long breath and said to himself, "Boss, you don't have a sect, but you can become so powerful. You must have made unimaginable efforts. I heard that before the ranking battle, you even stayed in the most dangerous Death Wasteland for a whole six months... Alas, after the ranking battle, I originally wanted to sneak out to find you. Even if you were hunted by the Burning Heaven Sect, I could escape with you. Such an experience must be wonderful, thrilling, and exciting, and it can also make me grow up. I didn't expect that I just recognized you as the boss, but I didn't even have the opportunity to experience with you... Huh! God is really unfair."
Ling Jie turned his head and looked towards the west in the direction of the Blue Wind Imperial City, and whispered: "I don't know how the princess is doing now..."
Cangfeng Imperial City, Lanyue Palace.
"Your Highness, the Fentian Sect has sent a message that the Young Sect Master of Fenjue City has set a date for the wedding with Your Highness. Seven days from now at 8:30 in the morning, the Young Sect Master of Fenjue City will come to Lanyue Palace to marry the princess. The Third Prince has already asked people to start preparations."
Cang Yue stood quietly beside the lotus pond in the courtyard, her beautiful eyes staring at the withering lotus petals. Beside her, a palace maid was reporting respectfully.
After the maid finished speaking, Cang Yue's expression was calm. She nodded and said calmly: "I understand, you can go down... Wait! Does my father know about the wedding date?"
"Princess, the emperor hasn't woken up yet, so we don't know yet."
"Don't disturb father, let him have a good rest and tell him after he wakes up." Cangyue said softly.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
The palace maid retreated, and a hearty laugh was heard: "Hahahaha! Imperial sister, congratulations!"
Cang Yue turned around and looked at the third prince Cang Shuo who was walking casually with a half-smile: "You seem to be happier than me about my marriage to Fen Juecheng."
"Of course." Cang Shuo said with a smile: "Juecheng is a well-deserved dragon among men. In Cangfeng, few people can compare with him. And the royal sister is a natural beauty and a rich woman. The two of you can be said to be a perfect match made in heaven. Juecheng and I are close friends, and you are my only royal sister. I am naturally very happy about the combination of the two of you, hahahaha."
Cang Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled and said, "Since you are so happy, then I will leave all the wedding matters on my side to my royal brother. I'm sure my royal brother will be happy with it."
After returning from Tianjian Villa, Cang Yue's personality has changed dramatically, and this change can be clearly felt by people around her. Yun Che's death did not seem to have caused any blow to her. After returning to the palace, she spent most of her time with Cang Wanhe, and her style of behavior seemed to have changed. She no longer gave in, evaded, or compromised, and became extremely tough and decisive. In the name of Cang Wanhe, she stabilized most of the neutral forces in the royal smoke stirred up by Cang Lin and Cang Suo. Although she was unable to stop the fight between Cang Lin and Cang Shuo and the ambitions of Xiao Zong and Fentian Sect, she prevented the expansion of the royal smoke to a large extent, which was already an extremely remarkable result.
The running around over the past year has made Cang Yue's character increasingly tough, and even a frightening cold light has begun to flicker in his eyes.
"Of course there is no problem!" Cang Shuo agreed immediately. It would be a hundred benefits for him if Cang Yue married Fen Juecheng. He had been waiting for this day for too long.
“In that case, I’ll have to trouble you, my royal brother… In addition, I’d like to ask you to remind Fen Juecheng a few more times that the betrothal gifts he brings to the palace on the day of the wedding must include the ‘Soul Burning Flower’. If I don’t see the Soul Burning Flower, don’t even think about me going back to Fentian Sect with him.” Cangyue frowned and said resolutely.
"You can rest assured about this, my dear sister. With Juecheng's deep love for you, he would not hesitate to pick the stars for you, let alone a mere soul-burning flower." Cang Shuo said with a smile. It seemed that he was in a very good mood today.
"I hope everything is as you said. I am going to see my father. If you are interested in this Lanyue Palace, please feel free to come."
After Cang Yue finished speaking, she simply ignored Cang Shuo and walked out.
After stepping out of Lanyue Palace, Cangyue's steps slowed down. She looked up at the sky, her hands covering her chest. All the sharpness in her eyes disappeared, becoming blurred like fog. She whispered to herself softly: "Junior Brother Yun, I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long... Wait for me for a few more days, okay... In another seven days, I can go to accompany you..."
——————————————————
Below the sword-controlling stage of Tianjian Villa, a fierce battle was drawing to a close.
Boom! Bang! Ding! Dang! Chi…
The sounds of collision, roar, and cutting... in this enclosed space, the sounds are deafening.
Yun Che’s heavy sword opened and closed vigorously, and every time the sword swung, it would roll up an astonishing storm of profound energy. The azure profound energy was ever-changing and extremely sharp, and the attack strength was no less than that of Yun Che’s heavy sword. After thousands of collisions, Yun Che was already covered in wounds, but he fought more and more bravely, like a beast whose ferocity had been aroused.
Yun Canghai had been watching the battle between Yun Che and Xuan Gang, nodding his head continuously, his eyes full of amazement.
During the sixteen months here, Yun Che’s profound strength cultivation had made rapid progress.
Now, his profound strength level has reached the sixth level of the Earth Profound Realm!
At the beginning, it took Ling Yun two years to break through from the first level of the Earth Profound Realm to the third level of the Earth Profound Realm. And this speed, among people of the same age, no one can surpass it except Xia Qingyue.
And it took Yun Che less than a year to go from the first level of the Earth Profound Realm to the sixth level of the Earth Profound Realm!
If Ling Yun knew about this, he would probably commit suicide on the spot out of shame.
In terms of cultivation speed, Yun Che is more than ten times faster than Ling Yun!
Of course, the most fundamental reason for this is the flesh and blood of the Flame Dragon. For the profound practitioners of the Blue Wind Empire, even the highest level profound practitioners, the dragon meat of the King Profound Dragon is a treasure-level existence of heaven and earth. It is extremely difficult to get a small piece, but for Yun Che, it is eaten alive!
And I eat it for more than a year.
Yun Che’s improvement in this period of time was not just in his profound strength. After witnessing Yun Canghai’s profound energy, Yun Che spent at least six hours a day battling against the profound energy. His actual combat ability was also rapidly improving in this almost crazy battle.
Yun Che had lived two lives, so naturally he had a lot of combat experience, but no matter how rich his experience was, he could never compare to Yun Canghai who had lived for hundreds of years. In terms of strength, Yun Canghai might not be Jasmine's opponent, but in terms of seniority, Jasmine was far inferior to Yun Canghai. Some of the guidance he gave to Yun Che benefited him a lot.
When Yun Che was fighting against Xuan Gang, Yun Canghai could easily defeat Yun Che by suppressing Xuan Gang’s power to 1 point at first. But within a month, Yun Che was able to fight against Xuan Gang with 1 point of power, so he increased Xuan Gang’s power from 1 point to 2 points, then to 3 points… 4 points… 5 points… and now, Yun Che was facing an opponent who had retained 60% of his strength.
The Xuan Gang!
The sixty percent strength of his Xuan Gang is enough to rival the late Tianxuan realm!
Now, he was beaten to a draw by Yun Che again. After thousands of encounters, he still failed to be defeated.
"drink!!"
With a loud shout, Yun Che soared into the air, transforming into four identical figures in midair… That’s right! Four. His Star God Shattered Shadow had successfully broken through to the third level where he could create three phantoms after countless battles and countless uses!
The afterimage created by the Star God’s shattered image was so real that even Xuan Gang couldn’t tell the difference between the real and the fake, let alone human perception and vision. His movements were momentarily stuck. Taking advantage of this tiny flaw, Yun Che narrowed his eyes and forcibly activated the third realm of the Heretic God Art, “Purgatory”.
Two scarlet rays of light covered Yun Che’s eyes, and the aura of profound energy on his body also became extremely violent in an instant… In the ranking match, even though it only lasted for a short moment, he lost half his life and was unconscious for several days. With his current state, forcing the purgatory to open naturally would not result in such consequences again, but it would still be extremely uncomfortable. However, if it only lasted for a few short breaths, he could still barely hold on.
"Heavenly Wolf Slash!"
The wolf roared, and its terrifying power completely enveloped Xuan Gang, blocking all its movement directions. A huge wolf shadow rushed out from Dragon Fault and slammed into Xuan Gang fiercely, completely deforming it... After Xuan Gang held on for a short moment, it flew away like a fallen leaf caught in a hurricane, and then turned into a green light and returned to Yun Canghai's arm.
BANG! !
Dragon Fault fell to the ground, and Yun Che fell backwards, gasping for breath and sweating profusely. The long and fierce battle had almost exhausted all his strength. Coupled with the huge load of "Purgatory", he now only had the strength to breathe, and he didn't even want to move a little finger.
"The future achievements of this little monster are simply unimaginable!" Yun Canghai whispered to himself. He retained 60% of Xuan Gang's strength, but was defeated so quickly!
At first, Yun Che said that he would kill him within two years. He thought it was ridiculous at the time, but now it seems...his words were not exaggerated at all!
