At the entrance of Jiange, a figure gradually appeared in the eyes of Gu Yao and the others, from far to near, from blurry to clear. It was none other than Chi Changye, who had successfully passed the trial.That figure was like a sharp sword piercing through the clouds, unstoppable and sharp. But as he walked closer, his invincible sharpness gradually receded into his body. By the time he reached Gu Yao, all the sword energy had been completely absorbed into his body. Even an ordinary person approaching him would not be harmed by the sword energy."Brother Ye, congratulations!" Gu Yao could tell from Chi Changye's appearance that he had made a breakthrough and gained something significant. He was happy for him.Chi Changye's gaze softened, but before he spoke to Gu Yao, he first bowed towards a distance: "Thank you, Dean Yu and Elder Yi, for your assistance."It was only then that Gu Yao realized that Dean Yu and Elder Yi had come again. They must have activated the formation and restrictions to conceal the anomalies here, otherwise it would have surely attracted the attention of the cultivators inside and outside the academy, causing unnecessary trouble."Haha, Chi Changye, you're doing great, very great. I'm looking forward to your even greater achievements, haha..." The laughter gradually faded away as Dean Yu did not appear. After speaking, he left, while Elder Yi showed an excited smile, glanced at the two below, and also left.Chi Changye could clearly sense their movements. After they left, he held Gu Yao's hand and said, "They have all left, let's go back too.""Okay."Xu Chen couldn't help but sigh, "This kid is really something. He was at the mid Foundation Establishment stage when he went in, and now he's at the late Foundation Establishment stage. At this rate, he's not far from Core Formation."Gu Yao was stunned to hear this. He didn't expect Chi Changye to make such rapid progress. He could feel that Chi Changye's spiritual power had become more solid and his sharpness more apparent. He knew he had gained something significant, but he didn't expect him to advance so quickly.Noticing Gu Yao's gaze, Chi Changye turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?""Brother Ye, what about the injuries in your body?" Gu Yao hesitated.Chi Changye smiled slightly, "Thanks to Jiange, they have all healed. The stubborn sword energy that remained in my body and meridians was completely removed because of the environment in Jiange. With the help of your elixirs, it naturally healed." Originally, he could have stayed in Jiange until he reached Core Formation again, as the spiritual energy inside Jiange was much more abundant than outside. But thinking of Gu Yao outside, he resolutely came out.
If he were alone, he might choose to cultivate the dan at the fastest speed and then find a way to leave the Tianlin Continent. However, now he is willing to slow down his pace and wait for Guyao to catch up. He also slows down his cultivation speed and polishes his state of mind to become more solid and rounded, which is not without benefits."Really? That's great!"As they spoke, the two walked away hand in hand. Shi Yanyan silently watched their backs, feeling very envious. She knew very well how indifferent Cheng Changye was to others, but he would smile at Guyao and care for him attentively. He even prepared food and drinks for Guyao without feeling that it was beneath his status.Shi Yanyan's eyes turned sour, and she quickly turned her head away. Such genuine affection was too luxurious for her. Her gaze towards the Sword Pavilion became determined. She wanted to work hard in sword cultivation, which could make her become stronger.
One day, she swung her sword a thousand times, but it wasn't enough. So she swung it five thousand times, ten thousand times... She was determined to achieve it!On the long road, she told Gu Yao about the various things in the Sword Pavilion. Before entering, she had received advice from the dean.Inside was a place filled with sword energy and sword intent. If one wasn't careful, they could end up injuring themselves. Only by counterattacking with an equal level of sword energy and sword intent could they pass the test.In fact, the Lingyun Sect had a similar place. Chi Changye had similar experiences and knowledge, but he realized that what he had experienced before was too shallow. If he hadn't constantly pondered the sword intent in the ancient jade slip, elevating his swordsmanship to a higher level, he might have failed the test. Even if he succeeded, he wouldn't have gained as much as he did now.Turning misfortune into a blessing! After successfully passing the test, Chi Changye thought this way."In addition to obtaining a Thunder Sword Technique, I also obtained a sword embryo. I happen to have collected some materials, so I can forge my own sword using the sword embryo." Chi Changye didn't hide anything from Gu Yao and took out the sword embryo he obtained in the Sword Pavilion to show him.The so-called sword embryo was a small black sword about the size of a palm. It looked extremely ordinary, but it trembled slightly in Chi Changye's palm, as if protesting against being taken out for display. At the same time, Gu Yao sensed a terrifying aura from its ordinary appearance.Gu Yao smiled and said, "That's great!""Yeah, I like it too." Chi Changye nodded and smiled. The small sword stopped trembling and was then waved by Chi Changye into his dantian to continue nurturing and cultivating the tacit connection between him and the sword embryo, so that in the future, they could achieve unity of man and sword, with the sword following his heart.Elder Yi's words were indeed true.In the face of future dangers, only if the sword embryo was undamaged, the sword itself wouldn't be as important. By finding suitable materials, his sword would always accompany him and become his best battle partner."Whoosh, whoosh!"Two balls of spiritual light stopped in front of the two of them. They glanced at each other and simultaneously opened the spiritual light, revealing the voices inside.One came from Xiao Pangzi: "Gu Yao, Chi-ge, Tianhai Sect is seeking help from all sides of Tianlin Continent. Sea beasts are invading on a large scale, causing heavy casualties among the coastal people. Tian Er-ge is very worried about his elder brother's situation and wants to rush to Tianhai Sect."Another came from Lu Qiusheng: "Little Gu Junior Brother, has Chi-xiong come out of seclusion? If he has, why not come with me to Tianhai Sect for a mission? The area around Tianhai Sect is being invaded by sea beasts. Don't just cultivate all day long."The former had a heavy tone, while the latter was extremely cheerful, as if going out to play, not forgetting to call friends."It's Tianhai Sect! Let's go back quickly." Gu Yao knew how deep Tian Er-ge's feelings were for his elder brother and understood that the situation at Tianhai Sect was critical. They couldn't just sit still.As for Lu Qiusheng, if he didn't reply, he would continue to send messages urging him until he received a response. He was just that willful.Chi Changye directly grabbed Gu Yao's arm, and a sword light enveloped the two of them as they quickly disappeared, their speed astonishing, accompanied by the sound of thunder exploding. In the blink of an eye, they arrived outside the Jia District.This time, Chi Changye's breakthrough in the Sword Pavilion was not made public. Besides Gu Yao and Shi Yanyan, who guarded the Sword Pavilion, only the dean and Elder Yi were aware of it. In addition, Dean Yu timely covered up the anomaly that occurred when he successfully passed the test. Even if a few people with sensitive perception sensed the momentary fluctuation of aura, they couldn't trace it back to its source. They just had a moment of doubt in their hearts and let it go.
Even if someone senses that it is sword energy, they will also wonder if it is the aura emitted by the dean while practicing swordsmanship.Dean Yu knows very well that if the outside world knows at this time, Tianfu Academy is likely to have another Golden Core cultivator, and a Golden Core cultivator who specializes in swordsmanship. Tianfu Academy will definitely be pushed to the forefront by those with ulterior motives, and it will become the primary target of their attacks.The two hurriedly returned to their courtyard and encountered fellow students from the Jia District who were discussing something intensively along the way. They didn't listen carefully, but they could hear words like "sea beasts" and "Tianhai Sect", indicating that the news had already spread in the academy. However, because Gu Yao had been staying on the Sword Peak and had not left, he did not know the situation outside."Gu Yao, Chi Ge, you're back!" Little Fatty didn't expect that shortly after sending the message, the two of them appeared."Gu Yao, Chi Ge, I..." Tian Feirong, who followed along, was about to speak."Tian Erge, are you going to support the Tianhai Sect? It just so happens that my senior brother and I have just finished our seclusion and also want to go out for a walk. Let's act together, so we can ensure safety." Gu Yao quickly said."Yes, what's the use of going alone? Don't you see how insignificant you are?" Little Fatty struck a blow to Tian Feirong. Going there alone wouldn't be of much help to his elder brother."I..." Tian Feirong scratched his head, not knowing how to express his gratitude.Gu Yao didn't specifically come on this trip for Tian Erge. Of course, even if he had other things to do, he would still go out knowing the situation. The fact was that he and Chi Changye had just finished their seclusion one after another, and they did want to go out for some experience, which would be beneficial to their mental growth. So these two things just happened to coincide.Moreover, the sea beasts had invaded the territory where ordinary people lived. Gu Yao couldn't just stand by when he found out about it. He came from the interstellar world and faced the threat of the Zerg. As long as he could go to the battlefield, he would do his best, just to protect his homeland.Now that he was a cultivator, he naturally had the responsibility to protect ordinary people."No more talking, let's pack up and get ready to leave. Prepare more things. By the way, check if the Mission Hall has any missions to take. Don't miss out on any rewards." Since they were all going, Gu Yao was thrifty like that. Chi Changye didn't object at all and agreed.Little Fatty curled his lips. He had already gotten used to it. Sometimes he didn't treat spirit stones as spirit stones, but sometimes he was extremely stingy. He hurriedly walked out, saying, "I'll go check."Gu Yao quickly sent a message to Lu Qiusheng, telling him that their group would soon respond to the call and set off. It would be even better to team up with Lu Qiusheng and the others. Facing a group of sea beasts, individual strength would be weaker.Gu Yao also asked the sisters in the shop to come over. He had stored some elixirs that he didn't need outside and could be sold in the shop. They didn't know when they would be able to come back after leaving. If it weren't for the foresight of cultivating other alchemists and talisman masters, they would have to close the shop as soon as they left.Chi Changye went to stock up on food and drinks. After all, they would be out for a long time.Half an hour later, Gu Yao and the other three met up with Lu Qiusheng and his group. They boarded the flying artifact provided by the Star Moon Trading Company and flew out of Tianfu Academy with a "whoosh". At the same time, other students were also flying out of the academy on their own artifacts. Not all students were as extravagant as the Star Moon Trading Company, which had large flying artifacts that could carry dozens or even hundreds of people.
