God Emperor

"He...is he crazy?"

"Having just broken through to the Fish-Dragon Realm, he dared to discuss swordsmanship with the seniors of the Eighth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon. Even Senior Brother Gai Hao would not be able to do such a crazy thing."

Han Qiu was also shocked by Lin Yue's crazy behavior. He stared at his back, touched his snow-white chin with his fingers, and said with a half-smile: "This person doesn't look stupid, why does he do stupid things? Even if it's true. It is impossible to reach the level of fighting against the eighth fish-dragon monk in such a short period of time."

Zixia Semi-Saint also frowned, feeling that she couldn't understand Lin Yue.

What on earth is this little guy going to do?

Zhang Ruochen completely ignored everyone's surprised looks and looked very calm. He took two steps back, looked up, saw the name "Lin Yue" on the jade tablet, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

One of the reasons for participating in the kendo competition of the Eighth Transformation of Fish and Dragon was, of course, for the Glazed Pill. Another reason is that Zhang Ruochen really wants to use sword competition to hone his sword skills and force himself to improve.

In fact, the sword fighting competition of the Eighth Transformation of Fish and Dragon was already the limit of what he could bear.

Zhang Ruochen used the strength of the "Tsing Yi Star Envoy" as a reference standard.

The Tsing Yi Star Envoy has the cultivation level of the seventh fish-dragon transformation, but her strength is stronger than many monks of the ninth fish-dragon transformation.

Zhang Ruochen participated in the kendo competition as Lin Yue, and many methods could not be used, such as mental power, time swordsmanship, space domain, Shen Yuan ancient sword, dragon beads, streamer invisibility cloak... many trump cards must be hidden.

As a result, the only strength Zhang Ruochen can exert is the way of swordsmanship. At most, he can only be on par with the Tsing Yi Star Envoy of the Seventh Transformation of Fish and Dragon, or even a little weaker.

The power of the Liangyi Sect is no weaker than that of the Eastern Territory Evil Earth. In the arena of the Seventh Transformation of the Fish and Dragon, there will definitely be a proud man or a famous figure from the older generation whose strength is almost the same as that of the Tsing Yi Star Envoy.

Therefore, Zhang Ruochen's best choice is the seventh transformation of fish and dragon.

However, there is still almost a month left before the ninth day of March. Zhang Ruochen must force himself once and force himself to reach the fifth transformation of fish and dragon.

As long as he reaches the fifth fish-dragon transformation, he has a chance to enter the top ten in the swordsmanship competition at the eighth fish-dragon transformation level. Therefore, in the end, he chose to fight against the monks in the eighth transformation of fish and dragon.

People only have motivation when they are under pressure.

Zixia Semi-Saint stood at the top of the stone steps of Shangqing Palace, with a rather cold gaze, stretched out an old hand, and condensed a purple holy energy. With a twist of his finger, the purple holy energy flew out, flying up Zhang Ruochen who was under the jade tablet.

Zhang Ruochen only felt the world spin for a while, and then his eyes blurred. The next moment, he was standing in front of Zixia Semi-Saint.

Zhang Ruochen was not nervous at all. He clasped his fists and bowed to Zixia Semi-Saint, saying: "Master summoned the disciples to come. What are your instructions?"

After being promoted to a disciple of the Holy Tradition, Zhang Ruochen is now a disciple of Zixia Semi-Saint, so he naturally calls Zixia Semi-Saint his master.

"Why did you choose the eighth jade tablet? Do you know how difficult it is?" Zixia Half Saint said in a deep voice.

Zixia Half Saint has high expectations for Lin Yue and hopes that he can enter the top ten in a certain realm.

Because as long as you reach the top ten in one of the realms, you will have the opportunity to study the "Wordless Sword Manual" and participate in the Sword Discussion Conference on September 9th.

If Lin Yue chooses the fourth fish-dragon transformation, or the fifth fish-dragon transformation, he will almost certainly be able to enter the top ten, and may even win the first place.

However, he actually chose the eighth jade tablet. Let alone entering the top ten, even if he wanted to win, it was impossible.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Disciple wants to give it a try."

Zixia Semi-Saint's eyes became very stern, exuding a faint holy power, and scolded: "Cultivation must be done step by step. The most taboo thing is pride, complacency and arrogance. Like you, if you encounter a little adventure, you will immediately If you forget who you are, you are just a frog in a well who doesn’t know the heights of the world.”

"Now, I can help you erase the name on the eighth jade tablet and give you another chance. Do you know how to choose?"

Many people, when they suddenly gain great power, will lose themselves, become arrogant and self-righteous, and ultimately destroy themselves.

Zixia Half-Saint was so harsh because he wanted to wake up Lin Yue with a warning and urge him to take the right path. He did not want him to be dazzled by the adventure he had just received.

As the saying goes, love is deep, so it hurts deeply.

However, since Zhang Ruochen has made a decision, of course it is impossible to change it.

If it were changed to a low-level swordsmanship competition, although he might easily enter the top ten, it would be a complete waste of time if he could not hone his sword skills.

Zhang Ruochen insisted: "Master, this disciple still chooses the kendo competition at the eighth fish-dragon transformation level."

"You evildoer..."

Zixia Semi-Saint was so angry that she raised her palms. She wanted to slap Zhang Ruochen, but in the end she endured it.

Next to him, Half-Saint Yuanlong laughed like he was gloating, "Congratulations! Congratulations to Semi-Saint Zixia for recruiting a good disciple, Lin Yue. I am very optimistic about you. If you can enter the top ten, you must remember to tell me. , I will give you a holy sword."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Senior, isn't this not good?"

"What's the point? I like to cultivate young talents like you, so don't be polite to me. Haha!"

Yuanlong Semi-Saint laughed loudly, then took a step forward, turned into a ray of holy light and flew out, disappearing into the horizon.

Zixia Semi-Saint stared at Lin Yue meaningfully, feeling quite regretful, but in the end she just sighed, closed her old eyes, and did not want to say any more. She waved her hand and said: "Since you have made up your mind, I will become my teacher." No more persuasion. There is a senior in the Shangqing Palace who wants to see you. Come in!"

Zhang Ruochen certainly knew the reason why Zixia was so sad, but he did not change his decision because of this. He just bowed respectfully to Zixia before crossing the threshold and entering the Shangqing Palace.

After Zhang Ruochen left, Zixia Semi-Saint took a long breath and said sadly: "Zixia Lingshan finally produced such a good seedling, is it about to be destroyed?"

Cultivation of the holy way is ultimately your own business.

Although Zixia Half Saint was able to use his strong cultivation to force Lin Yue to revise his previous decision and participate in a low-level sword competition, Zixia Half Saint knew that this would not change his heart.

So, what's the use?

Zixia Semi-Saint shook his head, completely disappointed with Lin Yue, sighed with great regret, did not want to care about him anymore, and left the Shangqing Palace alone.

Entering the Shangqing Palace, Zhang Ruochen saw an old Taoist wearing a white robe standing in the center of the magnificent hall. His long white hair hung on the ground like a waterfall. He didn't have a strong aura, just like an ordinary old man.

Zhang Ruochen knew, however, that someone who could be called a senior by Zixia Semi-Saint, how could he be an ordinary person?

"Greetings to seniors." Zhang Ruochen saluted.

From the moment Zhang Ruochen entered the door, the white-haired old man had been observing him carefully, with a kind smile on his wrinkled face and said: "No need to be polite. Lin Yue, do you know why Pindao wants to see you alone?" "

Zhang Ruochen stood up straight again and said, "Could it be that the senior wants to ask why the 'Eight Hundred Miles of Purple Qi' phenomenon occurred during the previous coronation ceremony?"

The white-haired old man smiled and said: "If I really ask this question, you will definitely tell me, and you don't know the reason. Right?"

"Disciple really doesn't know the reason." Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

Although the two had just met, Zhang Ruochen could already feel that this old man was very special, as if nothing could be hidden from him.

Who is he?

The old white-haired Taoist put his hands behind his back and said, "You don't know the reason. The poor Taoist may know a little bit. Do you want to know?"

"Please give me some advice, senior."

The white-haired old Taoist's face became solemn and said: "Did you know that before the medieval period, there were 'gods' in the Kunlun world?"

"One hundred thousand years ago, someone cut off the divine root of Kunlun Realm - the Divine Tree of Connecting Heaven. Since then, there have been no gods in heaven and earth. The medieval era also ended at that time and ushered in the Godless Era, that is, What we call modern times.”

Zhang Ruochen listened silently and said nothing.

The old white-haired Taoist continued: "Liangyi Sect is one of the three major branches of Taiji Tao. It originated in ancient times and flourished in the medieval times."

"In the ancient times, it was quite a long time ago. About 800,000 years ago, three disciples of Taiji Tao, Shangqing, Yuqing, and Taiqing, came to the Falling God Mountain Ridge and founded the Liangyi Sect. Later, they experienced countless Through generations of hard work and hard work, we have survived many catastrophes and enjoyed endless prosperity, and finally developed into today’s Liangyi Sect.”

"Of course, what Pindao just said are all myths and legends. Even in the oldest classics, there are no precise records about the three ancestors. Pindao has read all the files of the Liangyi Sect, and the earliest ones were just There are only fragments of history recorded up to 200,000 years ago, and no one knows whether that ancient legend actually existed."

Zhang Ruochen frowned and said, "Senior, what do you mean?"

The white-haired old Taoist smiled, stared into Zhang Ruochen's eyes, and said: "The three sword intentions you fused are very special. They are not the sword intentions left by anyone in the Liang Yi Sect for 200,000 years. In other words, the sword intention left behind The person with sword intention was still 200,000 years ago.”

"In the Liang Yi Sect two hundred thousand years ago, only three founders left their names in history, and they are still passed down by people today."

Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "Senior, don't you think that the disciples are integrating the sword intent left by the three founding ancestors?"

"It is impossible for others, but you are different. You have attracted the resonance of the gods four times in total. With the marks of the gods in your body and the luck of the gods, you may not be able to elicit the sword intent left by the three ancestors. ." The white-haired old man still stared at Zhang Ruochen with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen's heart suddenly stirred up a storm.

Who is the old Taoist in front of me, and how can I see that he has resonated with the gods four times?
