I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.

Chapter 104 Sword Bone.

"arrive."

At the edge of the boundless ice field, black clouds that spread for hundreds of miles in the sky absorbed almost all of the light. The biting cold accompanied by strong winds made the clothes of Chen Lu and others rustle.

The scholar pointed to a slowly rotating colorful vortex not far away and whispered, "This is the secret realm of inheritance. The nine inheritances are in it."

"Ah."

Chen Lu nodded slightly and looked into the distance into the depths of the ice field. The wind direction had not changed since he stepped into the boundless ice field. It seemed as if there was a ferocious beast constantly breathing out in the depths of the boundless ice field. The biting cold wind continued to blow from the depths of the boundless ice field.

The deeper you go, the colder the wind becomes.

It is hard to imagine that under such circumstances, the swordsman who had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm actually went all the way deeper. He merely stopped at the edge of the boundless ice field, took a look at the extremely dark depths of the boundless ice field that absorbed all light, and he wanted to escape from here.

This kind of power from heaven and earth will make you feel terrified even if you have reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"I'll go in and take a look first."

Chen Yu looked at the scholar and the others and said, "You guys go hide in the small world first. By the way, scholar, there is something I have forgotten to tell you. I have left a gift for you. Go and take a look."

Say it.

The plainclothes officer waved his sleeves, and the scholar and the others did not resist and were naturally sucked into the small world.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and strode towards the secret inheritance not far away against the biting cold wind.

At this time in the small world, at the entrance of Chaotian Sect’s Sword Pavilion.

The scholar was looking at the crystal clear white-green sword bone sitting upright on the short stone pillar in front of him with a shocked look on his face. He was visibly excited: "Is this what Brother Lu gave me?"
-
[Entry name]: Sword bone.

"Term Level": Gray.

[Effect of the Item]: You will learn swordsmanship very slowly, but after you die, everyone who touches your corpse will gain a certain degree of understanding of the swordsmanship they have learned. The specific level of understanding depends on different people's own talents.
-
Sword bone.

Touching the bones can increase one's understanding of the swordsmanship one has learned, and is a treasure for sword practitioners.

Or maybe it could be said that one of the reasons why Chaotian Sect could become a prestigious sword sect is largely due to this precious inheritance for sword practitioners.

"Hey."

Fei Long stood aside and said with a smile: "Of course it's for you. Apart from you, no one here is a sword cultivator. But when I looked at the Heavenly Dao Beauty Ranking just now, the Heavenly Dao Beauty effect of Ji Renjian, the number one beauty in the Heavenly Dao, is extremely suitable for sword cultivators."

"You were also the best swordsman in Daxia back then. Haven't you ever tried to win the beauty?"

"Naturally tried."

The scholar's whole mind was captured by the sword bone at this moment. He closed his eyes crazily and froze in place as if he had been hit by a stick. His slender fingers trembled and gently slid slowly on the sword bone as he murmured in a trance.

"Back then, I was not the only one pursuing Ji Renjian. The effect of the Heavenly Dao Beauty was enough to drive all the sword cultivators in the world crazy."

"I tried it, and I almost succeeded."

"Once, Daxia asked Ji Taiping and I to go to 100 countries to quell the rebellion. Whoever could quell the rebellion would be awarded the title of "National Sword Master" in the palace. With this title, one could harness a bit of Daxia's luck and greatly enhance one's understanding of the way of the sword."

"At this time, Ji Taiping's distant cousin, Ji Renjian, left Jingzhou alone to travel to another state. I gave up my title as the Sword Master of the Nation and helped Ji Renjian solve many crises along the way."

"Although we have never met, she said a lot to my Qing Feng, and we communicated closely with each other. If I had shown up at that time, maybe it would have been accomplished."

"Oh?"

Fei Long asked curiously, "Then why didn't you show up at that time? This is the most beautiful woman in the Heavenly Dao. With the effect of the Heavenly Dao, you might not have been hunted down by the Zhang family in the capital and fallen into depravity, and you wouldn't have been in such a state for so long."

The scholar smiled and opened his eyes. He took a step back with a look of emotion and looked at the sword bone in front of him: "The "National Sword Envoy" is not a good thing. With the luck of the Great Xia on his head, his strength has certainly increased, but he has also become a dog in the palace."

"You have to go wherever the palace tells you to go."

"It's true that I want to become the number one swordsman in Da Xia, but I don't want to be the number one swordsman in Da Xia who is driven by others."

"Back then, like other sword cultivators, I was obsessed with Ji Renjian. I fantasized about using Ji Renjian's hand to completely break through the shackles of swordsmanship and achieve Nascent Soul status."

“That made me feel really upset.”

"I can't do such a thing as using others to satisfy my own selfish desires. This is inconsistent with my kendo philosophy."

"My philosophy of swordsmanship is to eliminate all injustices in the world and to put an end to all unfairness in the world."

"Later, I was getting more and more upset while escorting him all the way. At the last moment, I gave up. I still wanted to prove my truth by myself, not by relying on a woman."

Speaking of it.

The scholar suddenly glanced around, and after a long silence, he said hoarsely: "The above statements are what my brain told me, but... it's not true."

"I was planning to go to the Hundred Kingdoms. Although I didn't plan to quell the war, I remembered that there was a genius sword cultivator from the Hundred Kingdoms. I wanted to learn sword skills from him."

"But for some unknown reason, he changed his route and did not go to Baiguo. On the way back to Daxia, he happened to meet Ji Renjian."

"Wait..." Fei Long frowned, "I'm a little confused by what you said. Do you mean someone secretly influenced you and changed your schedule? You were the number one swordsman in Daxia at that time. What kind of illusion could interfere with you?"

"."

The scholar was silent for a longer time this time, and seemed to be waiting for something. After a moment, he continued: "The beauty of heaven is a product favored by heaven. Anyone who dares to use imprisonment, coercion, force, etc. to make Ji Renjian give her body will be hated by heaven."

"This kind of heavenly disgust feedback is very quick."

"Someone has tried it before, and there was a thunderbolt at that time."

"But on the way to leave Jingzhou, Ji Renjian encountered many villains, but no one of them caused a thunderbolt to fall. Once I even waited a little longer, and those villains had already taken off their Ji Renjian outer clothes, but still no thunderbolt fell."

“Finally I took action.”

"Do you know what this means?"

Fei Long looked at the scholar brother blankly, wanting to have an eye contact with him, but the scholar brother just stood quietly beside him as if he heard nothing.

"Uh" Feilong thought hard for a long time before he asked tentatively: "Does this mean you replaced Tianlei?"

"No."

The scholar shook his head: "The way of heaven has no self-awareness. No thunderbolts fell from the sky, which means that those villains have no lust in their hearts. They are just giving me the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty."

"I didn't think so much at the time, but later when I was being hunted, I figured out a lot of things."

"That includes this matter."

"Someone poisoned my heart. That person made me meet Ji Renjian by chance, and used the lives of many chess pieces to deepen the causal connection between me and Ji Renjian."

"Trying to make Ji Renjian and I become a Taoist couple."

"No. Wait a minute!"

Fei Long took a deep breath, held his chin with one hand, and paced three times with his head down, thinking. Then he looked at the scholar seriously, "You mean there is someone who sacrificed the lives of a large number of chess pieces just to help you win the beauty?"

"All the benefits are yours?"

"What does he want?"

"He wants to achieve the Nascent Soul stage, or rather, he wants to break out of this cage."

The scholar stretched out his arm to feel the sword intent of the words on the stone pillar. He gently stroked the words, feeling the slight pain, and whispered, "I dare not say his name, but I can tell you who he is."

"He is the current Great Xia State Master."

"A very scary person."

"He intended to give me the Ji Renjian realm so that he could create a peerless swordsman who is unrivaled in the world, and then use me to break the prison of the Great Xia Kingdom. However, at the last moment, my nature was too resistant to this behavior."

"The Imperial Master then set his sights on Ji Taiping again."

"I have noticed Ji Taiping in the past few years. He has made rapid progress and has entered the realm of unity between man and sword, which is the realm that all sword practitioners dream of. Last time in Kaishan City, I sensed the remaining sword intent. That sword intent was very violent, like a volcano under the ice."

"This is a sign of forcibly using external objects to quickly improve your realm."

"."

Fei Long heard this secret for the first time. He opened his mouth in disbelief and murmured, "Is this national teacher so terrifying? Is Daxia's number one swordsman also his pawn?"

"Ah."

The scholar suddenly laughed: "I met him once. He was a very young man, but for some reason, his pupils were cloudy, and his words, actions, and methods of doing things were not like those of a young man."

"By coincidence, I learned one of his entries."

"White entry, nonsense."

"The more lies you tell to deceive people, and the higher the cultivation level of the deceived people, the more your cultivation level will improve."

"Such a person sits in the position of Daxia's national teacher."

"Many times I doubt whether His Majesty is still awake. No one can judge how many people and things in Daxia can be trusted at present."

After being exposed to this information suddenly, Fei Long's brain froze for a moment before he murmured, "Why didn't you tell me these things when Brother Lu was here?"

"Because of the sword bone."

The scholar stroked the sword-inspired words on the short stone pillar with a calm expression: "When I faked my death and escaped, I sealed these memories in the deepest part of my sea of ​​consciousness with sword intent. Later, my cultivation level dropped and I couldn't open these memories."

"The sword intent contained in these words broke through the shackles I set."

Fei Long looked at the words on the short stone pillar that the scholar was slowly stroking, and he suddenly remembered that when he was at this level, Brother Lu told him that someone touched the words with his hand and was injured by the sword intent remaining on the words, and blood splattered everywhere.

The scholar caressed it for a long time but did not suffer any injuries.

"What are you going to do now?" Fei Long frowned and looked at the scholar: "The Imperial Master might have thought you were dead, but now you've shown up in Daxia again, won't he find you again?"

"No problem."

The scholar shook his head: "All he wants is a peerless swordsman. Now that I am a cripple, I am definitely not as good as Ji Taiping. Ji Taiping is the strongest swordsman in his mind right now."

And at this time——

Chen Lu has already stepped into the colorful vortex in front of him and appeared in a secret realm of heaven.

The area of ​​this Heavenly Dao Secret Realm is not very large. It is a platform similar to a sect square with a huge relief of the Bagua formation carved on the ground.

This Bagua formation is divided into nine palaces, namely Qian Palace, Kan Palace, Gen Palace, Zhen Palace, Central Palace, Xun Palace, Li Palace, Kun Palace and Dui Palace.

And these nine palaces correspond to each other.

Magic cultivation, talisman cultivation, formation cultivation, elixir cultivation, weapon cultivation, evil cultivation, magic cultivation, body cultivation, and sword cultivation.

The Nine Palaces were located in nine different directions, and the moment he stepped into the Bagua Formation, eight of the palaces instantly became dim and colorless. Only the ground representing Fa Xiu's palace emitted a faint milky white light.

Chen Lu frowned slightly and glanced around. The outside of the Bagua platform was enveloped by a thick and impenetrable chaotic energy. The entire ground was divided into nine grids, and a white vortex emerged at the end of each grid.

At this time, the other eight whirlpools had stopped rotating and became dim and colorless.

Only the vortex that symbolizes the practice of Dharma is still spinning slowly.

Didn't stay long.

He took out a long sword from his arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked slowly towards the white vortex that symbolized the practice of magic with a vigilant look, and strode into it.

Followed by a burst of dazzling light.

He suddenly appeared in a vast ocean. He just stood on the sea. The water under his feet was like a viscous liquid, allowing him to stand on the water easily. There was no light, only a touch of moonlight.

The pitch-black sea surface was like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth opened wide, which was terrifying.

There is no island around.

Only the sky above is filled with stars.

At the same time, a vicissitudes and ethereal voice came to my ears.
-
"To obtain the Dharma inheritance, you must pass five levels."

"The challenger must be at the sixth level of foundation building. The difficulty of the level will be adjusted accordingly."

"The first level is to cross the sea."

"From now on, you can no longer absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and every action you take will consume your own spiritual energy. You need to reach an island before your spiritual energy is exhausted."
-
"."

Chen Lu glanced around and didn't see any islands with his naked eyes, nor was there any map to tell him where the nearest island was, which meant that if he took the wrong road, he would have to walk a lot more.

He has no physical skills so far.

The speed is not fast.

Although he has a lot of spiritual energy and can hold on for a long time, he can't be very fast without physical skills.

This level tests the spiritual energy in the body, whether it can successfully find an island before the spiritual energy is exhausted. After Chen Yu glanced around and understood everything, he immediately exited the inheritance secret realm without thinking too much, and directly took the scholar and others to the nearest Feicheng.

I bought a book called "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch" produced in the Tiandao Secret Realm.

Then return to the secret realm of inheritance again.

"Ah."

Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction: "It will be much easier to handle this time."
-
"Entry name": Advance step by step.

"Term Level": Gray.

[Effect of the term]: After you learn the 'Shrinking the Earth into an Inch' skill, when you perform this skill, the distance you can cross will be increased fivefold, and it consumes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but not your own spiritual energy. However, you will not be able to control the direction and landing position, and the landing position and direction will be completely random.
-
This was the jade slip of entry that he found last time from the storage ring of the owner of Wentian Market.

I just kept forgetting to buy the "Shrinking the Earth into an Inch" produced by Tiandao Secret Realm.

Produced in the Secret Realm of Heaven, once mastered, one will reach the state of great success.

This entry has no advantages. The only advantage is that it does not consume one's own spiritual energy, but consumes all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In this way, even if the landing point is random, as long as the timeline is long enough, it can always land on an island.

"call out!"

Chen Lu used the magic of shrinking the earth into an inch and took a tentative step forward. As a result, the surrounding scenery flashed twelve times in a row. When he stopped and looked back, he was already a hundred feet away from his original place.

This spell can actually be combined with double casting and tenfold casting!
Use it once and use it eleven times more without any consumption.

Chen Lu held his forehead and sighed, the landing point was too random. He just fell from a height of three feet to the sea surface, and teleported twelve times in a row. This spell had to be used with caution during the battle.

There is too much randomness.

But it is just right to use it here.

And the most perfect thing is that it doesn’t consume any spiritual energy.

"continue!"

Half an hour later.

Chen Lu, who was soaking wet, stood on the sea and expressionlessly took out the teapot from the storage ring and put it to his mouth. He was not sure how many times he had teleported to the bottom of the sea. So far, he had not seen an island at all.

The most important thing is——

He found himself completely disoriented.

He wasn't even sure if he had left the starting point, or how far he had gone.

"continue!"

Chen Lu muttered something in disbelief and continued to teleport.

Logically speaking, as long as there is an island in this sea area, and he can shrink the distance into an inch without consuming his own spiritual energy, he will definitely be able to reach the island as long as the timeline is extended long enough.

An hour later.

"Grass!"

Chen Lu stood on the sea and glanced around. He couldn't help but curse inwardly. It was too quiet here. There was no living creature. It was as if he was the only one left in the whole world.

Moreover, here, his connection with the small world was cut off.

There was no way I could kill time by chatting with Feilong and others.

"continue!"

Three hours later.

"."

Chen Lu glanced around expressionlessly. He now doubted whether there were any islands in the sea. He felt as if he had been deceived.

And he had a guess that there might not be any islands on the sea.

The island may be on the ocean floor.

But when he used his own spiritual energy to dive to the bottom of the sea, he found an extremely strong resistance that was several times greater than the buoyancy of ordinary seawater, which prevented him from diving too deep.

"No matter, continue."

Nine hours later.

"finally reached!!!"

A hint of joy flashed in Chen Lu's eyes. He looked at the obvious land not far from the sea level. He no longer used the shrinking technique, but used his own spiritual energy to run along the sea towards the distant land!
As the saying goes, it's like running to death by looking at the mountain.

It looked close, but in fact it took him several incense sticks of time to finally step onto the beach.

At this time, on the beach, there was an old man with silver hair sitting and fishing leisurely with a fishing rod in his hand. There was a tattered black flag stuck in the gravel next to him, and on the flag were two lines of crooked words embroidered with white needle and thread.

"I dare not calculate all the hexagrams, for I fear the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth."

"It is impossible to speak clearly, or the world will be in chaos."

"Why are you here?!"

"Why are you here?!"

Chen Lu looked at this familiar old man and blurted out something subconsciously, while the other party also looked confused and stared at him in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost!
The old and the young asked what was in their hearts in unison.

This old man was none other than the fortune teller whom he had met a few times.

Remind him that there are too many evil spirits in his body.

"no."

The old man's throat rolled slightly at this time, his face was full of disbelief and confusion. He took a few deep breaths, threw away the fishing rod in his hand, strode to Chen Lu, looked him up and down, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't worry about why I'm here, tell me first, why the hell are you here?!"

"I?"

Chen Yu pointed at himself and said, "I am here to pass the test and obtain the inheritance of the Dharma."

"Why are you here, old man? Is this your true identity?"

"Can we use a back door or something?"

"Go through your mother's back door!"

The old man stared at Chen Yu as if he had seen a ghost and couldn't help but roared, "Are you fucking crazy?"

"You broke into the inheritance of magic cultivation, what are you doing in my territory of formation cultivation inheritance?!"

"The island for the first level of the Dharma repair is deep under the sea. Didn't you do some research before coming here?"

"Just force your way in?"

"How did you manage to cross the Forbidden Sea and run all the way to my territory as a formation cultivator? You're a damn good runner. Come on, tell me how you did it. I'm really curious!"

"I was wondering why I could see people when no one was breaking through. I thought I saw a ghost!"

"."

"."

Chen Lu stood there in silence with a strange expression on his face. He turned around and looked at the blue sea behind him. He guessed that the island might be at the bottom of the sea, but he gave up when he tried to dive and failed.

"That"

He glanced around tentatively: "This should also be considered an island, right?"

"After all, the condition for passing the first level is to reach any island. It doesn't say it has to be the island deep under the sea, right?"

"."

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched uncontrollably before he waved his hand unhappily, turned around, picked up his fishing rod, and sat in his original position: "Don't ask me, I don't know, and the inheritance of the law cultivation is not my responsibility."

Chen Yu trotted after him, planted the flag that was blown crooked by the sea breeze a little deeper into the beach, and straightened it before blinking his eyes: "Um, senior."

“Are there any other information leaks?”

"No."

The old man rolled his eyes at Chen Yu in annoyance and interrupted him in time, "And don't take out anything like roasted chicken or roasted rabbit. The people I've met in recent years have become more and more strange. They would take out a roasted chicken from their pockets and hand it to me at any time."

"As if a roast chicken could make me open up to him."

"At least hand over some spirit stones, and I won't say anything. Hand over the fucking roasted chicken. I've lived for so long, what kind of chicken haven't I eaten?"

"Here."

Chen Yu's face straightened, and he immediately took out a storage ring containing 2,000 spirit stones from his bosom and handed it in: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to thank you for reminding me in Wentian Market at that time, otherwise I might have resentment in my body now."

"hehe."

The old man sneered, took the storage ring and stuffed it into his arms with ease: "You don't look like you are willing to listen to advice. Don't you still have a golden elixir ghost on your body?"

"Senior, you are joking. It's mainly because young people have a lot of temper. The vengeful spirits should cool down, otherwise it will be hot."

"never mind."

The old man shook his head: "Your cultivation has improved now. A Jindan ghost can't kill you. I'm too lazy to say anything, but don't waste your time. I can't say anything."

"And don't worry, you have definitely passed this first level."

"But you'll have to wait a while."

"What are you waiting for?"

The old man rolled his eyes at Chen Yu again and said, "Wait for the old man who is qualified to tell you that you have successfully passed the level to cross the forbidden sea and come here to announce your success and take you back. However, with the old guy's body almost falling apart, I doubt whether he can run across the forbidden sea to come here."

"The last time he came to talk to me was thirty years ago."

"Thanks to you, I can see this old guy again before I die."

Chen Yu chatted with the old man on the beach for an hour.

I can tell.

The old man was very talkative and liked to talk to people, but he was very restrained. Many times, he subconsciously wanted to brag about his past, but stopped abruptly. So Chen Lu could only hear his sighs but not the story itself.

During the journey, Chen Lu asked a few questions about where this place was.

Are the Forbidden Sea and the Array Cultivation Continent in the small world, somewhere in the Great Xia Kingdom, or outside the Great Xia Kingdom?

The old man shook his head and still didn't answer.

Just sighing.

"Alas, looking back, I was just as young and inexperienced as you."

The old man sat on the beach with a look of emotion, looking into the depths of the Forbidden Sea: "When I was young, I could barely be considered a genius, and I had a strong talent in formation cultivation, but I don't like formation cultivation, I like hexagram cultivation."

"But my old master insisted that I practice formation cultivation and provoked me, saying that I would never be able to pass the formation cultivation inheritance."

"At that time, I was young and hot-headed. I was unwilling to accept the fact that I had passed all the way through the formation cultivation inheritance and came to the master. When I saw the master's cunning smile, I realized that I had been deceived."

"later."

“Then it just kept going like this.”

"And even the oldest one who never dies will eventually die."

Chen Yu, who was sitting nearby, turned the roasted chicken on the grill and asked tentatively, "Hasn't it been that no one has ever obtained the inheritance in the inheritance secret realm?"

Fortunately, Feilong likes to grill some meat, so he has no shortage of this kind of thing in his storage ring.

The old man said that he didn't like people giving him roast chicken or something like that, but he never stopped eating the roast chicken and sipping the wine, and it looked like he was enjoying the food very much.

"Hi."

The old man raised his sleeves and wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth without caring about his image. He sighed and said, "You asked the point, but I can't tell you. But I know what you are thinking. You don't have to worry about being imprisoned here if you pass the Dharma inheritance."

"Besides, this isn't considered a prison."

"It's a place where you can still survive until your death. Ordinary people are not qualified to stay here."

"You are even less qualified."
