Chapter 97: Penance

In that forest, Xiao Chen seemed to disappear out of thin air. When he reappeared, the environment in front of Xiao Chen's eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the distance, a rushing waterfall cascaded down from the mountain stream and merged into a long river below. On the bank of the river, there is a large open area, you can feel a fresh water vapor when you stand on the bank.

This big river is called Zhuanghe. There are many rivers such as wild forests. This Zhuanghe is just one of them. The place where Xiao Chen is is the source of Zhuanghe.

The places that are extremely inconspicuous in the eyes of outsiders are hardly noticed, but Xiao Chen's consciousness sensed an unusual existence here.

On a large rock in the cave behind the waterfall, the surrounding spiritual energy is extremely rich, and practicing on it is about half the speed of practicing outside.

After Xiao Chen accidentally discovered it, he immediately set up a phantom formation here to hide people's eyes.

It took Xiao Chen ten days to complete this illusion formation. As long as it was not a martial king-level expert, outsiders would not be able to find this place.

When he came here, Xiao Chen was completely safe. He randomly found a flat rock and sat cross-legged. Zi Lei Jue sat slowly and began to practice.

The morning sun was just rising and the sun was falling. The whole night passed like this. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He jumped off the rock and came to the river to wash his face.

In the morning, the waterfall stopped flowing, and the surface of the river was as smooth as a mirror. Xiao Chen raised his legs and walked directly to the surface of the river. His body magically stopped on the water.

Calm in his heart like water, Xiao Chen ran the Qinglong Tengyunjue mental method, closed his eyes, and slowly walked on the water surface. With every step he took, the ripples scattered around.

In ancient legends, the dragon is the overlord of the sky and the ocean, diving into the nine abyss to overturn rivers and seas, reverse mountains and rivers, call the wind and call the rain, and be omnipotent. When it soars above the nine heavens, it can fly through the clouds and fog, and between turns, the wind and thunder are surging, thousands of miles in a blink of an eye.

The Qinglong Tengyun Jue is such a movement technique. It is practiced to the greatest extent. The legendary soaring clouds and mists, overturning rivers and seas, are all at hand.

These days, Xiao Chen has been in this Zhuanghe, practicing the Azure Dragon Soaring Cloud Art. From the beginning, there is no progress, and now he has achieved a little, and can walk slowly on the water.

Xiao Chen has been walking slowly in the water like this,

After comprehending the various mysteries in the Azure Dragon Soaring Clouds Art, when the sun in the sky reached the top of the head, the sound of rushing water came.

The turbulent waterfall began to flow again, the calm river surface suddenly became turbulent, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, his eyes were full of solemnity.

At this time of the day, the trial is really the beginning. As long as Xiao Chen is not careful, he will immediately fall into the water and become a chicken in soup.

The river swiftly swam down, Xiao Chen stood on the water surface and went backwards. Every step he took, he spent a lot of vitality, but his body still swayed left and right above the water surface.

thump!

When he walked one hundred steps forward, Xiao Chen finally couldn't hold it any longer and fell into the river water. The turbulent river water carried Xiao Chen's body and quickly flowed downstream.

The calm Zhuang River immediately showed its hideous side, and the turbulent river water carried great strength. The constant impact on Xiao Chen's body made it difficult for him to maintain his balance, and his body quickly flowed downstream in the water.

It was not the first time that such a situation had been encountered. Xiao Chen was calm and not panicked. He held his breath, and his body slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Primordial Qi circulated in the body, ready to go, the moment when the toes stepped on the bottom of the river, the body jumped out of the water like an arrow from the string.

When the body fell to the water again, it gently flipped in the air and landed firmly on the shore.

Looking at the rushing river, Xiao Chen was still very emotional. Even an ordinary warrior might drown in such a turbulent river if he had a bad attitude.

The whole body was wet and extremely uncomfortable, Xiao Chen wiped his face, took off his clothes, and changed into a set of dry clothes from the Qiankun ring.

At this time, it was not suitable to continue practicing the movement technique. Xiao Chen didn't waste any time. After eating some dry food, he took out a wooden stick and erected it on the flat ground.

Holding the Moon Shadow Saber in his hand and facing the scorching sun, he began to practice the first move of the Thunderbolt Saber. From his point of view, this drawing of the sword must be practiced until he can make twelve consecutive cuts without the stick still falling.

He can only wield four knives now, barely reaching the realm of Xiaocheng, and there is still a long way to go before Dacheng.

brush! brush! brush! brush! brush!

After two hours of practice, this time Xiao Chen slashed five times in a row. The fluttering wooden stick was shaken a few times, but it did not fall down after all.

"Finally, I have made some progress, and I can chop five knives in a row." Xiao Chen wiped the sweat on his forehead, the sweat on the handle of the knife, and said happily.

After coming out of Mohe City, Xiao Chen realized that there are too many so-called geniuses in this world, and Xiao Chen is nothing at all.

Within the Eastern Sea alone, among the inheritors of the three major forces, all of them are only sixteen or seventeen years old, but their cultivation has reached the realm of an astonishing great martial artist.

Ordinary people may not be able to reach the realm of cultivation in their entire life. They can easily reach it at the age of sixteen or seventeen. It can only be said that people are more popular than dead people.

Zooming in to the whole world, I don't know how many such evildoers there are. His current achievements, Xiao Chen, are simply not worth mentioning.

In this world where the strong are respected, since he has come, he will not be willing to be subservient to others, become a stepping stone for others, and be buried in the dust of history.

If you don't have a strong talent, you have to put in thousands of times of hard work. Just like Lei Di a thousand years ago, he was born in a poor family, but by himself, he stepped on all the geniuses of the aristocratic families.

He has obtained the inheritance of Lei Di, even if he doesn't care about his own face, he has to take into account the eternal fame of Lei Di of the ages. Since his talent is not evil, he will pay millions of times of effort.

Putting up a wooden stick again, Xiao Chen calmed down and continued to practice tirelessly to draw the knife. The sawdust on the open space kept increasing.

An hour later, Xiao Chen stood up, rested for a while, and walked slowly to the shore, looking at the rushing waterfall in the distance, he had already weakened a lot.

brake!

With a light drink, he suddenly jumped onto the turbulent water surface, ran at a high speed, and went backwards. One after another, waves of air stirred around Xiao Chen, and sprays more than two meters high were splashed on both sides of his body.

Xiao Chen ran all the way without stopping. He came to the place where the waterfall fell, shouted loudly, and jumped up high, and an air gun appeared on the surface of his body.

With a swipe, the power waterfall was directly broken open, and Xiao Chen landed on a rock behind the waterfall, which was a cave recessed into the mountain wall.

It was only two meters deep, and the humidity in the cave was heavy. The waterfall that flew down from the entrance of the cave was like a water curtain, very similar to the water curtain cave Xiao Chen knew in his previous life.

There was a very flat and smooth rock in the cave, Xiao Chen had a faint smile on his face and slowly sat on it. Immediately entered the state of cultivation, Zi Lei Jue kept circulating in the body.

The rich spiritual energy around him kept pouring into Xiao Chen's body, and the spiritual energy was thick like fog, almost reaching the point of liquefaction.

Xiao Chen only operated one Great Zhoutian, and the spiritual energy in his body was already full of meridians, and there was a faint feeling of extreme excitement in the martial soul.

Xiao Chen knew that this was a sign that he was going to advance. As long as he was willing, his realm could immediately return to the cultivation level of a low-grade martial artist.

But Xiao Chen didn't do this. He crossed the border that day and cast the Nine-Day Thunder Array, which made his realm fall to a high-grade martial artist. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't think it was a bad thing, but an opportunity to re-stabilize the foundation.

It only took him a few months to enter the realm of a low-grade martial artist from the soul-refining stage. This is an extremely unbelievable thing for ordinary people. No matter what, his foundation has not really been laid.

For tall buildings, the foundation is the most important. Only the more stable the foundation is laid, the higher the building will not have any accident, and there will be a collapse in the middle.

The same is true of martial arts. If the soul refining period is to dig foundations, then the martial artist realm is to fill the dug foundations.

Xiao Chen's soul-refining period came much later than ordinary people. It took 15 years for him to dig the foundation far deeper than ordinary people. Just waiting for him to bury it again now and create an unbreakable, steel-like foundation. .

As soon as his mind moved, Xiao Chen saw that all the absorbed aura was injected into his flesh and bones, slowly tempering his body.

After the Yuan Qi in the body turned for nine big days, Xiao Chen opened his eyes abruptly, and his body was covered with black stickiness. Xiao Chen jumped directly out of the hole, the turbulent waterfall washed away the impurities discharged from his body.

Immediately, I felt refreshed and relaxed, and I couldn't help shouting loudly. The momentum of my whole body suddenly exploded to the extreme, and the water droplets on my body were instantly evaporated.

boom!

Xiao Chen's body fell heavily on the surface of the water, and a huge force spread from his feet. After a while, a circle of waves rose up around him, with waves more than three meters high.

With a tap of his toes, Xiao Chen returned to the shore. In the infinite distance in the horizon, the sunset fell, night fell, and the day passed just like that.

A small white figure quickly ran over from the outside of the illusion, and Xiao Chen saw it. There was a faint smile on his face, no matter how lonely this journey of cultivation, at least there was Xiaobai to accompany him.

After a night of cultivation, Xiao Bai regained her quirky temper again, and ran out of the Soul Blood Jade early in the morning.

Xiao Chen was not too worried about its safety. Xiao Bai, who was practicing the Nine Revolutions of Heavenly Profound Transformation, was so fast that even Xiao Chen couldn't match it.

It ran in front of Xiao Chen, with a medicinal herb wound on its mouth, and placed it in Xiao Chen's hand like a treasure. Xiao Chen is not surprised by this. Xiaobai is sensitive to some spiritual treasures that humans do not have. Almost every time he goes out, he will gain something.

Xiao Chen took the herb in his hand and observed it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "The fifth-grade spiritual herb, Yun Vanilla, this is a top-grade herb of 30 years, and it is worth thousands of gold."

Hearing Xiao Chen's happy words, Xiao Bai's face showed a humanized smile, showing great satisfaction.
