Hidden Corners

In the courtyard, everyone from the Faceless Sword Sect was quietly waiting for the enlightenment time to end.

Most of the team members participating in the competition stayed in the small side hall, eating snacks and drinks.

Bai He looked alone at his senior brother who stood in the yard and looked up at the sky.

Huo Qingkong's aura faintly circulated and rose, as if there had been a huge change.

"Elder brother seems to have realized something again." Bai He raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky, not understanding what was so interesting about the clouds.

He looked back at the others. Zhaoyuan was recovering from her injuries and meditating with her eyes closed.

Qiu Chen was flipping through a book whose content she didn't know, and she chuckled from time to time.

Several large groups of brothers and sisters were gathered around roasting beef, and the fat dripped down and made a sizzling sound.

"There may be trouble on this return trip. Don't panic if something happens. Follow Qingkong and me at critical moments. The big group will follow me, and the Qingying group will follow Qingkong. If we get separated, just find your own way to return to the Sword Sect."

Elder Yun Ling was slowly wiping a green sword in his hand with a low voice.

"Yes." Everyone responded quickly.

Bai He also responded, but the strange thing he noticed was that the large group should be much stronger, right? Let the big group follow the elder himself, while the Qingying group, which is in serious need of care, follow the senior brother.

Does this mean that Elder Yun Ling himself has no confidence in himself?

Bai He frowned slightly.

This competition, from what the senior sisters in the big group said, seemed to be very wrong.

If it were a previous competition, the organizer would arrange a special escort team to escort each faction back to their base.

But this time, the Yuheng Sect did not make any preparations at all.

Seeing Qiu Chen and Zhao Yuan starting to bicker heartlessly again, Bai He became more and more worried.

'I wonder how Bailu is doing?'

Li Chengyi looked at the stone tablet in front of him quietly at this time.

Countless swirling mysterious lines appeared and disappeared quickly in front of him. Looking at these lines, he seemed to have realized something, but also seemed to know nothing.

The information in my mind was resonating rapidly, but before the resonance was complete, a new vibration came, disrupting the previous trend.

The powerful comprehension amplification belonging to the Snow Lotus plays a role in strengthening the perception at this time.

In Li Chengyi's mind, the progress of the Faceless Sword Jue and the Qiyi Holy Spirit Technique began to improve rapidly in this state.

Those countless mysterious traces contain things that can help him take the two techniques further.

Not only that, but the Yuan Yin, which had not yet been condensed by the Phoenix King's Tears before, was also washed away by these immemorial traces and began to grow rapidly.

The Tianjie Monument itself is also trying its best to burn longevity, releasing a white mist of unknown composition, increasing Li Chengyi's ability to comprehend at this time.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Two quarters of an hour passed.

Three quarters of an hour.

Li Chengyi's eyes suddenly opened wide, and streaks of colorful light flashed across his eyes rapidly.

A large number of ancient traces contain countless complex and even messy information. This information has no rules. Many of them are the experiences that Tianjie Monument has comprehended and collected on its own. Naturally, some of them are right and some are wrong.

But even so, this Tianjie Monument, which has a history of at least tens of thousands of years, still saved him at least several years of hard work.

Moreover, most of those immemorial traces were messy information that was not helpful for the practice of martial arts. At this time, Li Chengyi stored it in his consciousness. It seemed useless for a while, but maybe he would be able to get some help from it at some point.

A large amount of messy information was thoroughly classified in his mind and condensed into a special black book.

The black book incidentally stuffed all the messy knowledge and information of Li Chengyi's past into it, forming a special image that can explain many phenomena.

at the same time.

Marks appeared one after another in the clothes on Li Chengyi's chest.

The Faceless Sword Art was the first to break through to the fourth level.

A mark that looks like a long black sword condenses and is located at the bottom of all his marks.

A brand new engraving is achieved.

not only that

With the great improvement of comprehension, the elemental seal of the Phoenix King's Tears is also close to the black sword's elemental seal, which accelerates and condenses into a round blazing mark of the phoenix spreading its wings.

But the Tianjie Monument's help didn't stop there, and soon the third Yuan Seal resurfaced.

The Faceless Sword Jue rushed directly into the fifth level and condensed the second black sword Yuan Seal.

Li Chengyi's body also underwent a huge transformation at the same time.

Essentially, Yuan Yin and Engraving are the same product, but Yuan Yin is more gentle, systematic and less difficult. The engraving is more savage, the increase is larger, but more sporadic.

The biggest advantage of Yuan Yin is that it can freely choose the direction within a certain range.

After condensing two Kung Fu Yuan Seals in one breath, Li Chengyi felt warm all over his body, as if he was soaking in a huge hot spring.

And an inexplicable force was lingering in front of him, waiting for him to choose a direction.

He immediately understood that this was the critical moment for the Faceless Sword Jue to choose which elemental seal to condense.

Faceless Sword Jue is the most basic foundation-building sword technique of the sword sect, and its effect is huge.

Its condensed Yuan Yin can go in three directions.

First, increase the speed of the blade, making it explode faster, fly faster, and shoot faster.

Second, increase the sharpness of the sword's edge after being struck. Consciousness can increase the sharpness and lethality of the sword.

Third, increase the number and nourishment speed of swords that can be raised at the same time. The consciousness has been sublimated to the point where it can be nourished by anything sharp, and there is no need to maintain a sword pouch. Of course it is better and faster to have a sword pouch.

'The three directions are all improvements in killing.'

Li Chengyi knew that this was the time to choose his future direction.

He thought for a moment and realized that most of the opponents he would face in the future would probably be immortal monsters, so it would be unrealistic to kill them instantly with one blow.

‘Then I choose third! Better adaptability! ’

He doesn't need to kill the opponent quickly. What he wants is a blade that nourishes different functions and then uses it to deal with different environments and threats.

After making up your mind.

The mysterious power lingering in front of him suddenly blew into his face like a spring breeze and poured into his body.

Sigh.

The body is changing, the flesh and blood are growing and strengthening, and the consciousness is also beginning to undergo a new qualitative change.

Li Chengyi closed his eyes unconsciously, and two black sword-shaped Yuan Seals on his chest quickly condensed out.

Yes, he chose the third direction for both Yuan Seals. That is to increase the number of nourishing blades and the speed of nourishment.

After the selection, he clearly felt that his consciousness was rapidly expanding, getting bigger and thicker due to the integration of that mysterious power.

At the same time, the spirit of mindfulness deep in his consciousness also changed as his consciousness expanded.

Two slender sword blades with silver scabbards gradually formed behind Yuanshen and were carried behind him.

It is still a vague black humanoid shape, but now it is suspended cross-legged in the depths of consciousness, with a hint of activity that it did not have before.

The nourishment and strengthening of the Phoenix King's Tears made him seem to have special changes that he didn't have before.

A rare hint of business.

Li Chengyi's heart moved.

Suddenly, the view in front of me turned black.

He lost all sense of the outside world. At this moment, all his consciousness shrank and entered the soul deep in the consciousness space.

The body seems to have become a shell, and the soul is the real body.

The three separated malicious thoughts formed three weird heads that were releasing ferocious malice towards their surroundings at any time.

The two newly condensed Yuan Yin Swords provided them with amplification and weapons.

call.

Li Chengyi breathed out gently.

Together with the other three heads, the four mouths exhaled breath at the same time. The breath merged into one, rolled and swayed in the dark space, and turned into a pure silver shining sword light.

The sword light is engraved with three patterns of mindfulness, as well as a simple pattern belonging to his white deer body.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the Yuan Shen Qi Sword suddenly decomposed and turned into countless thin silver threads, flying into the surrounding dark space of consciousness.

The space suddenly brightened at this moment.

A series of silver threads began to outline traces around it.

Transform this barren space into something else.

A large number of silver traces were layered on top of each other, like paintbrushes, and soon the place was transformed into a huge and empty silver hall.

‘It’s done! ! The fifth level of Faceless Sword Judgment! Yuanshen Sword Palace is completed! ’

The Sword Palace of Consciousness is the complete symbol of the fifth level of the Faceless Sword Art.

It is also the initial foundation of the sixth level.

Once you reach this step, you can officially start the sixth level of practice.

Later, when practicing swordsmanship, you no longer need to dance around in real life. Instead, you can just sit quietly in your own sword palace and practice.

After completing this step, the power of the three major killing moves of the Faceless Sword Art will also increase dramatically with the increase of the Sword Palace.

On weekdays, Hui Jian nurtures his power in the Sword Palace, and can use it instantly when needed. It's the same as raising a sword pouch to nourish a physical sword blade.

It's just that at the previous level, the purity, intensity, and even nature of consciousness were not enough to build the Yuan Shen Sword Palace, and it was only completed step by step now.

Li Chengyi, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the Tianjie Monument, breathed a long sigh of relief, and the contents of the sixth level of the Faceless Sword Art passed through his mind.

The sixth level is the core purpose, which is to practice the Love Silk Sword Net. The so-called extreme love and extreme sword is this step.

The so-called faceless sword technique is to refine everything in oneself into a sword step by step.

First, purify distracting thoughts and malice, then build a sword palace, and then refine all the emotions in your consciousness into sword blades.

The final seventh level is when the instinct is refined into a sword to determine the meaning of the light sword and reach the faceless state.

Of course, the Faceless Sword Technique itself is only for foundation building, and most elders and deacons can barely complete the entry-level steps, which is already very difficult.

It is almost impossible to practice every level to the top and achieve the ultimate.

Just like the Yuanshen Sword Palace at this time, this thing itself only needs to be able to build a simple small secret room.

If Li Chengyi were to directly build a miniature palace of several hundred square meters, it would be a fantasy for others.

Li Chengyi had heard that in the Yuan Shen Sword Palace in Kuiling, the Yuan Shen did not have four heads. After all, all the evil thoughts were given to the Holy Infant, so the Yuan Shen naturally only had one head.

And the size of her sword palace was only the same as a small bedroom of more than ten square meters in the beginning.

How could it start with an area of ​​at least three or four hundred square meters like his?

After completing the breakthrough in the Faceless Sword Art, Li Chengyi was satisfied and went to see the Tianjie Monument.

However, it was discovered that cracks had appeared on the surface of the stone tablet.

The originally mysterious and strange feeling had faded a lot at this time.

Think of it as a lot of powerful knowledge that is unique and belongs to forbidden knowledge.

From this point of view, it is likely that the forbidden knowledge in the Tianjie Monument was passed on to him, so the secrets contained in it were reduced a lot.

‘.’ Li Chengyi was speechless.

Before he came, he had expected how powerful the flower language of good luck +2 would be, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!

‘If I leave this blind spot now and use the good luck +2 flower language that has been stacked many times, can I completely eliminate the huge threat of the King of Death Angels? ’

Suddenly, an idea emerged from Li Chengyi's mind uncontrollably.

But what followed was another even more terrifying thought.

‘Since the Flower Emperor’s Royal City had such powerful abilities that could affect fortune, how did they fall to the point where they were eventually completely exterminated? ’

Li Chengyi's heart tightened, and he instantly thought of an answer.

The answer is actually very simple.

It is very likely that the opponent of the Flower Emperor also has similar abilities!

In this case, how can we detect whether we are affected by similar abilities? ?

Li Chengyi fell into deep thought.

Click.

At this moment, when he was deep in thought.

More cracks appeared in Tianjie Monument.

"My lord, I regret not being able to follow you. If Tianjie has an afterlife, he will definitely do so."

Wow!

With a crisp sound, the entire Tianjie Monument was completely shattered into stones on the ground, and there was no sound.

"." Li Chengyi looked at the gravel scattered in front of him and didn't know how to react for a moment.

‘Will the people from the Yuheng Sect become so angry that they kill me? ? ’

This was the first thought that popped into his head.

But this thought passed by in a flash and was covered up by a more important piece of information from behind.
