Under the terrifying sword intent's impact, a shocking sword qi tide erupted, sweeping over. Chen Xiao felt as if he was about to be torn apart.
"Be careful."
Xilou shouted. The Ten Thousand Demon Vine appeared, blocking most of the sword qi.
At the same time, Chen Xiao was pushed back thousands of feet, barely managing to stabilize his body. His hands were covered in blood, and the Five Element Sword Intent had dissipated. He no longer had the strength to maintain it, and his aura was unstable.
Chen Xiao's eyes widened. He was unprecedentedly clear-headed. He swallowed a healing pill as he muttered to himself.
"So that's how it is. The five elements revolve, endlessly multiplying."
"What do you mean? Sigh, you really are fighting with all your might. It's just a sparring match, why use your full strength? This is great, right? You suffered a huge loss. "
Xilou grumbled, but Chen Xiao did not care at all.
Although Chen Xiao's face was covered in blood, he did not care at all. Instead, he was especially excited and shouted, "I understand. So that's how it is. Haha, the Five Elements Mixing, the extreme of the sword path, is actually like this."
"Five Elements Mixing, the extreme of the sword..."
In midair, the Heavenly Star Swordmaster had long retracted his hand. He stared at the injured Chen Xiao and muttered to himself, as if he was deep in thought.
Evidently, he had comprehended something during the sparring.
"Ah? I have comprehended something again."
Xilo was a little dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on at all.
For a moment, the two of them were immersed in their comprehension, completely forgetting about the time. Xilo stood at the side and could only stare blankly, not daring to disturb them.
After waiting for a while, seven days had passed.
Only then did Chen Xiao withdraw from his state of comprehension. He let out a long breath, and his eyes were exceptionally clear as he said, "So that's how it is. I understand now."
When the Heavenly Star Swordmaster saw this, his eyes were filled with a trace of envy.
During this period of time, he had only comprehended for three days before he woke up. On the other hand, Chen Xiao had been immersed in his comprehension for a full seven days.
Comparing the two, the difference was obvious.
He finally understood why Chen Xiao's strength had improved so quickly. Chen Xiao's talent in the cultivation path was too monstrous.
"You woke up?"
The Heavenly Star Swordmaster asked with concern.
"Thank you, Second Brother Tianxing, for protecting me." Chen Xiao smiled and said.
The Heavenly Star Swordmaster pursed his lips and said, "You brat, don't think that I'm willing to protect you. I just woke up earlier than you."
Hearing this, the smile on Chen Xiao's face became even wider. Of course, he knew what was going on.
The opportunity to comprehend was something that could only be encountered by luck. The longer one was immersed in it, the greater the harvest.
During this sparring with the Heavenly Star Swordmaster, he had gained a lot from it.
"I was just lucky." Chen Xiao said humbly.
The Heavenly Star Swordmaster shook his head, "This is not luck, but talent. Your future is limitless. This is a blessing for the Purple Cloud City."
"Okay."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
After exchanging some more pleasantries, the two of them finally parted ways and went back to their own places.
Seeing that Chen Xiao had returned, his aura was a bit weak. Yueyao and the other girls were worried again. Their eyes were red. Fortunately, he was prepared for this.
Before he came back, he changed into a clean set of clothes. Without the blood stains, he recovered a bit, so no one could see through him.
If Yueyao knew that he was injured in the sparring with the Heavenly Star Swordmaster, he would die from the pain.
In the secret room, Chen Xiao's two clones appeared. They sat cross-legged on the left and right side, quietly cultivating.
"This time, I have gained a lot. I have gained new insights in the Dao of Strength. It's time to digest it."
Chen Xiao thought.
He had benefited a lot from the sparring with the Heavenly Star Swordsman. He had inspired him greatly. It was a good opportunity to integrate his own strength and reach a higher level.
"Your realm has improved too quickly. It's time for you to settle down," Xi Luo said.
"Okay."
In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
On this day, Chen Xiao was cultivating in the secret room when he suddenly sensed something. "Hmm?"
With a thought, he appeared outside the Immortal Mansion. He saw a peak-stage Tribulation Transcender Purple Guard rushing over and stopping in front of him.
"Greetings, Third City Lord." The Purple Guard said respectfully.
Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat, feeling a little surprised.
One had to know that the Purple Guard was the personal guard of the Duke of Zijin, and he was his most trusted subordinate. If there was no urgent matter, he would not send him here.
"What is it?"
"The City Lord has invited us to discuss something important." The Purple Guard said.
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and nodded. "Alright, I understand. After arranging a few things, I'll follow you."
At this time, Yue Yao, Xiaolong, and the others had sensed the Purple Guard's arrival and also set out.
"Darling, what is it?" Yue Yao asked worriedly.
"Big Brother, is this City Lord who has come to look for us?" Xiaolong's eyes were filled with doubt.
Chen Xiao glanced at them and nodded. "The City Lord has invited us. I'll be back soon."
When everyone heard this, they naturally did not have any objections.
"En, Darling, we'll wait for you at home." Yue Yao said.
Chen Xiao did not say anything else and rushed to the Purple Hall with the Purple Guard.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xiao arrived outside the Purple Hall. However, he discovered that Gu Changsheng and the Yin Yang Master had arrived long ago. After that, the Heavenly Star Sword Master flew over from the horizon and landed in front of him.
Chen Xiao stepped forward and greeted them first. At the same time, he asked curiously, "Clan Master Gu, Dao Venerate, you guys are here as well. Could it be that something big has happened?"
Gu Changsheng's face darkened. "I don't know."
The Yin Yang Master frowned and said, "Over the years, the Violet Cloud City has always been peaceful, and there has been no abnormalities."
The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign landed on the ground and chuckled, "You guys don't know, right? There is only one thing that can make the boss of the Redbud Hall treat it so seriously."
"One thing?"
"What is it?"
"The Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda," the Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign said indifferently, as if he was already prepared.
When these words were spoken, it could be said that it was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, causing the hearts of Chen Xiao and the other two to surge, unable to calm down.
Even Gu Changsheng, who had always been indifferent, had an extremely excited expression as he said, "Heavenly Star, are you saying that the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda is about to open this time?"
"Is that true?" The Yin Yang Dao Sovereign asked in surprise.
The Heavenly Star Sword Sovereign's mouth curled up as he said, "That's about right. It has been close to nine thousand years since the last time the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda opened, and now is also the time for it to open again."
When Gu Changsheng heard this, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he was no longer able to calm down.
Even the Yin Yang Dao Sovereign was eager to try, as if he was calculating something.
"Tsk, Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda. I have researched many things over the years, and I have read many ancient books. Among them, there are very few records of the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, but I can tell you that the Nine-Layered Divine Tower is a world of its own, isolated from the outside world. There are countless magical treasures and heavenly treasures, and there are even more cultivation techniques. It is a first-class treasure ground, and even Gu Changsheng would be moved by it. It is obvious that it is extraordinary."
Xiluo spoke with an unfriendly tone.
Chen Xiao nodded, as if he was thinking about something. If the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda really opened, it would be a great opportunity, and countless cultivators would rush over to it, not hesitating to risk their lives.
