In the elite disciple area, on the second floor of a pavilion, Chu Mu sat cross-legged on the balcony as usual. He had just finished thirty cycles of the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Art and exhaled a breath of white air that shot out like a sword, stirring the air.
Raising his head to look at the endless blue sky, Chu Mu's eyes retracted and became deep.
"Ten days of cultivation, thirty cycles a day, but the Sword Qi only grew a little. At this rate, it would take half a year of hard work to reach the middle stage of Ninth Stage. What a pity, I don't know how to improve my cultivation talent. Ninth Stage is too low. "He sighed slightly, his tone was somewhat helpless.
"Junior Brother … Junior Brother …" Yuwen Wenhua's voice came, startling Chu Mu. It was still early, and usually they would not come so early.
He got up and went downstairs. Li Yi, Yu Wenhua, Wang Tinghao, and Xiao Qianfeng, who was rarely seen recently, were all there. In addition, there were fifteen elite disciples, and Wenren Yun was among them. Her head was slightly lowered, and her eyes flickered with a shocking light. There was a trace of killing intent circulating, but it was hidden deeply.
"Senior Brother, this is …" Chu Mu looked at the group, puzzled.
"This is the Sect Leader's order. It seems that something big has happened and we are needed." Li Yi said, "Let's go see the Sect Leader and we will know what is going on."
"Okay." Chu Mu nodded. His sword was always in his hand, so there was no need for preparation. The group of twenty people all went to the Green Peak Main Hall.
…
In the Green Peak Main Hall, other than the Sect Leader Luo Tianxiong, there were also the three Chancellors and the eleven Elders of the Main Hall. They all looked dignified, as if something big had happened.
Chu Mu and the other twenty elite disciples had arrived.
Luo Tianxiong glanced at them, his eyes shining, his body imposing, and he went straight to the point.
"Do you all remember the huge earthquake half a month ago? It was not a landslide. After a period of investigation, it was found that the reappearance of the Green Orchid Virtual Realm caused the collision of the Spatial Barrier, which caused the space in the Green Orchid Mountain area to shake. " Luo Tianxiong said slowly. Chu Mu and the others almost had a question mark on their heads. 'Qing Lan Virtual Realm', 'Space Barrier', and so on were beyond their knowledge.
"The so-called Illusory Realm of Qinglan is a kind of Illusory Realm. It is a small independent space-time that was born naturally or believed to be different from the Ancient Sword Continent, but it is attached to the Ancient Sword Continent. The Void Boundary was usually hidden in the void. When it appeared, it would collide with the spatial barrier of the Ancient Sword Continent, causing a certain region to shake. Inside the Emptiness Realm, there are usually all kinds of strange flowers and herbs. Great dangers and great opportunities coexist. " Elder Luo quickly explained, "The reason why it's called Qinglan Virtual Realm is because it appeared on Qinglan Mountain."
"Qing Lan's Virtual Realm does not appear regularly. According to the records of our sect, Qing Lan's Virtual Realm has appeared a total of four times. The last time was fifteen years ago." Luo Tianxiong said seriously. The light in his eyes seemed to have settled and become heavy, making people feel pressured. "In Qing Lan's Virtual Realm, there are many spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits, as well as other kinds of treasures. After entering and coming out, one's cultivation will often be improved by leaps and bounds. Of course, it is also full of all kinds of dangers. The slightest carelessness can lead to death. Now that the Empty Realm of Qinglan has reappeared, the Qinglan Sword Sect and the Qingshui Sword Sect will definitely send people in to search for all kinds of spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and treasures to strengthen the sword sect.
"Entering the Void Realm of Qinglan is limited by one's cultivation level. One must be a swordsman below the Qi Transformation Realm and above the seventh stage of the Sword Qi Realm. Otherwise, it is either because one's cultivation level is too strong to exceed the tolerance limit of the Void Realm, or because one's cultivation level is too low to be suppressed by the internal power of the Void Realm. Chu Mu and the others listened attentively. Luo Tianxiong continued to explain, "Originally, entering the Virtual Realm would be best for a tenth stage swordsman or a half-step into the Qi Transformation Realm. However, because the appearance of Qing Lan's Virtual Realm is unpredictable and they did not stay in the sword sect, they could not prepare in advance. The three major sword sects made an agreement that every time Qing Lan's Virtual Realm appears, only ninth stage or lower disciples can enter. On one hand, it is to search for more treasures. On the other hand, it is a kind of competition between the three major sword sects. So this time, twenty of you have been selected. Of course, I will not force you to enter. After all, the Virtual Realm is full of danger. However, I can guarantee that any disciple who can leave the Virtual Realm alive will be focused on training by the sect. Reaching the Qi Transformation Realm is not a problem. "
Silence, waiting for Chu Mu and the other twenty elite disciples to choose.
"Such a good place, of course, we have to go in and explore." Li Yi was the first to smile and said.
"Haha, how can I be left out?" Yuwen Wenhua laughed.
"Of course," Wang Tinghao said.
Everyone expressed their opinions. None of the twenty elite disciples backed down. As swordsmen and elites of the sword sect, they had long known about the brave current. How could they back down because of the danger?
"Good … Good … You are all the pride of our sect." Luo Tianxiong's face showed a smile, nodding with a look of appreciation. The surrounding elders also smiled and were very satisfied.
"In that case, Elder Luo and the other two elders will lead us to the entrance of the Virtual Realm immediately. We will not let Qinglan Sword Sect and Qingshui Sword Sect get ahead of us." Luo Tianxiong was swift and decisive. He said decisively, "As for water and dry food, they have been prepared for you. Everyone has a bag and a pot. Bring it with you."
"Disciples, let's go." Elder Luo and the other two elders led the twenty-three people quickly left for Qinglan Mountain.
"I hope they can all come out alive this time." Luo Tianxiong stared at the back of the crowd and said to himself.
"The stronger the strength, the higher the chance of survival. Chu Mu and the other four should be able to leave alive. The others are in the late and middle stage of Stage Nine. Some of them may stay in the Virtual Realm forever." An elder said softly.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Regardless of whether it's for them or for our sect, entering the Emptiness Realm is a better choice."
A few long sighs and disappeared with the wind.
…
The twenty-three figures quickly went into Qinglan Mountain. About four hours later, they came to a small valley. Aside from the people of Qingfeng Sword Sect, there were two other groups of people in the valley. They seemed to have just arrived.
"Hmph, it's the people of Qingfeng Sword Sect. They are really like dogs, coming wherever there is a bone." An elder in the crowd on the right looked cold and sarcastic. He did not hide his sarcasm.
"It's better than people who can't change." Elder Luo's expression did not change and he replied lightly. Suddenly, the elder's expression changed drastically. The veins on his forehead bulged and his breath was fierce. He almost drew his sword.
The people on the other side could not help but laugh.
"Elder Luo, long time no see. Your words are still so sharp." An elder in the crowd on the left greeted with a smile.
"Haha, you flatter me. Elder Yao, long time no see. Your cultivation seems to be much purer." Elder Luo smiled and returned the greeting.
In the crowd on the right, there were three elders and twenty elite disciples of Qinglan Sword Sect. Each of them looked arrogant and arrogant, as if they were the gods and everyone had to listen to them.
But when they were refuted by Elder Luo, their faces turned red and they almost suffered internal injuries.
In the crowd on the left, there were three elders and twenty elite disciples of Qingshui Sword Sect.
Qinglan Sword Sect claimed to be the orthodox sect of Qinglan Mountain. They were arrogant and did not take Qingfeng Sword Sect and Qingshui Sword Sect seriously. As a result, the friendship between the two major sword sects was forged.
Chu Mu noticed that there was a person in the crowd of Qinglan Sword Sect who was staring at him with a trace of murderous intent. He turned around and saw that it was Elder Yao Ri.
"Haha, Elder Luo's breath is purer and sharper." Elder Yao stroked his beard and smiled. "The entrance of Qinglan Void Realm has been opened. It will stabilize in a short period of time. Then, we can enter."
"I hope the disciples of your sect can gain a lot." Elder Luo smiled.
"I hope so too." Elder Yao also smiled.
"Are you dreaming?" The elder of Qinglan Sword Sect sneered and said, "You two are just disciples of two small sects, and you think you can gain something in the Void Realm of Qinglan? You'd better pray that your disciples can come out alive, not gain anything."
Elder Luo and Elder Yao looked at the elder at the same time, but they ignored him. This made the elder's veins bulge. He suppressed his anger and looked at a disciple beside him.
"Wei Hong, remember, after entering Qinglan Void Realm, your main task is to kill all the disciples of the two sword sects. Kill them all and leave them in Qinglan Void Realm." The elder's sword aura transmitted his voice and said, "The secondary task is to help your junior brothers and sisters to get the treasure. When the time comes, we will help you to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm."
The young man called Wei Hong nodded as he smiled coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he glanced past the disciples of the Qingshui Sword Sect and Qingfeng Sword Sect, placing every single one of them on his list of people he had to kill.
It had to be said that the idea of the Qinglan Sword Sect was extremely vicious. Once all the elite disciples died in the virtual realm, the two sects would lose a group of elites. The gap between the two sects would be widened by the Qinglan Sword Sect within ten years.
"Wei Hong, it doesn't matter if the others can be killed or not. The most important thing is the disciple of Qingfeng Sword Sect, Chu Mu. That's him." Elder Yao Ri also suddenly transmitted his voice to Wei Hong. Wei Hong looked over and his eyes fell on Chu Mu. He was stunned for a moment and then his face was full of disdain.
"His cultivation is at the early stage of Ninth Phase, but his swordsmanship is amazing. I'm afraid that even the late stage of Ninth Phase is no match for him. He can even compete with those at the peak of Ninth Phase. So, remember, even if you don't kill the others, you must kill Chu Mu. You must not let him grow. " Elder Yao Ri felt Wei Hong's contempt for Chu Mu and could not help but speak sternly.
Wei Hong's heart skipped a beat and he could not help but look at Chu Mu. He thought to himself, "He can defeat those at the late stage of Ninth Phase and compete with those at the peak of Ninth Phase. Such swordsmanship can stand out even if he goes there. No, he must die."
Chu Mu felt a faint murderous intent. He looked over and just happened to meet Wei Hong's murderous eyes. He could not help but frown slightly, but he was not afraid at all.
An unfathomable smile flashed across Wei Hong's face. He stretched out his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture to Chu Mu. He then looked away and looked at the others. In his heart, since Chu Mu was on his kill list, he was already a dead man.
At this moment, the Entrance to the Emptiness Realm that was slowly rotating like a whirlpool not far away finally stabilized.
"It has begun." The elders shouted in a low voice and immediately told the disciples of their respective sects to pay attention to some things and so on. They then let them enter the entrance one after another.
"Wei Hong, remember your mission. I didn't pay a huge price to cover up your sword aura and cultivation for you in vain."
Wei Hong nodded and gave a "don't worry, elder" look. He strode into the Entrance of the Emptiness Realm and disappeared.
