Turned a corner while ascending

Chapter 157

In the two time and space, Jin and Bai Zhizhuo chose to practice in seclusion.

Jin, however, was like a bird building a nest, accumulating enough clues bit by bit, and finally when he felt that he had understood something, he found an opportunity to advance.

There is no Dao Dao, everything will come naturally, he just repeated the path he walked in his previous life, so he is not lost in the fear of no one to guide him like Wu Hui worried.

Compared to Jin Que, Bai Zhizhuo's advancement is too fast, too legendary.

In the eyes of all the insiders, the moment when Jin disappeared from the gap in the space, this person has always been calm and calm, with little expression, but at least he can be called a gentle swordsman when he is beside Jin, just like suddenly losing the restraint. Without any obstacles that could make him restrain his sharpness willingly, the sharpness and coldness he displayed at that moment filled the entire Sealing Secret Realm to the brim, making it almost impossible to breathe.

He seemed to be covered with thorns all over his body, from an orchid blooming on the ground to a pine leaning against the cliffs and growing wantonly.If Jin was on the scene, he would be surprised to find that Bai Zhizhuo at this moment is especially like when he just woke up from the long three years when his consciousness was sealed by the Duanjie River.

Lonely, and wary.

However, the chief culprit who caused all this didn't see this scene. If he had, he wouldn't be flustered by the unspeakable emotion of having a violent and abnormal heartbeat just by seeing a similar person.

What is more frightening than the change in his temperament is that Bai Zhizhuo has taken a big step from the elementary level of the fourth rank in an instant, and has directly advanced to the realm of split souls of the fifth rank.

Just like the cage of personality is lost, the seal of cultivation is also untied by the way.

No one knew how he did it, but it didn't prevent them from opening their mouths wide, their hearts were shocked beyond words, and they kept guessing all the possibilities.

Only Bai Zhizhuo understood in his heart that the reason for everything lies in his Nascent Soul.

After the fourth rank advances to the fifth rank, the monk can condense the soul.Splitting the soul is not like what Bai Zhizhuo thought before, it is to divide a complete soul into two, and then each has independent thinking, and can fight alone without the main soul.

In fact, the split soul is just another kind of Nascent Soul that exists to help monks absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth faster, and the existence of the split soul can better communicate with the upper and lower dantians, so that the cultivator can use the true essence It has increased by a hundred times.

After comprehending the Heart-Shoulder Sword Intent and the Dao of Space, the imprisonment of the Nascent Soul was naturally released, and the insurmountable mountain became passable because of the existence of its own Nascent Soul. Bai Zhizhuo took it for granted and entered the fifth rank Divide soul realm.

Then, he was taken away by Ningguang Shizun, and entered the Kunxu practice space.

He is very fortunate now that under the influence of his subconscious, Jin Zhuan and Yu Han followed Jin Que into another world, so even though the connection between the Yuanshen was cut off because of the separation between the two places, he can still find Jin Que through the golden book.

Everything will have to wait until he has truly mastered the space avenue.

The two of them had no other distractions, and practiced in closed doors, regardless of whether the outside world was turbulent or not.

Dongzhou, Baihe City.

There are many mountains in the south of Dongzhou, which is a large area bordering the Eight Great God Mountains, and in the most southwestern corner, there is a passage connected to Daze.

The passage is controlled by the town of Piedmont.

In the eyes of the people of Dongzhou, Daze people are honest and honest, and they almost never step out of Daze.And there are countless various resources in Daze. Although wealth and crisis coexist, it does not affect their pace of going to Daze.

However, in the past few years, for some reason, Baihe City has suddenly strengthened the control of this place, and it is no longer allowed to easily enter and exit this passage and enter the Daze.

And it will be 30 years before the large-scale beast horde attacks.

It was a quiet night with only the chirping of insects.

It was late at night, and Shanqian Town was in a deep sleep from the town to the scattered mountain villages outside the town.

Nearest to Daze, there is a sentry post on the top of the hill.The guard post consists of a small yard and a three-storey watchtower. At this moment, there is a middle-aged man leaning on the top of the watchtower, dozing leisurely.

Suddenly, the entire observatory, or the entire ground, began to tremble slightly.

The vibration continued and became stronger and stronger, finally waking up the dozing middle-aged man.

"Huh?!" He said vaguely, "The ground moved?"

Then he rubbed his eyes, followed by the bright moonlight, and looked in the direction of Daze.

The viewing angle of the observation deck is the best, with the unobstructed plain in front of it, and under the radiance of the white stars and the moon, what the man saw made his hairs stand on end in an instant, and he staggered from the ground. He fell from the three-storey platform.

"Beast...beast tide!" He only stayed for a moment, then quickly turned over and returned to the observation tower.

After a brief shock, the middle-aged man regained his sanity. It was just a beast tide, and it was not like he had never participated in it before, but this time the beast tide was a bit unusual.

Not long after he sends out a signal and waits for support, this middle-aged man will realize that he is really wrong...

At this time, a fish-belly white had already appeared on the horizon.

White Crane City, City Lord's Mansion.

The lord of the city, Ju Sihe, stood on the city wall with a serious face, wearing a crown of white crane wings, his face dry and cold, his eyes half-opened, and the cloth bags hanging all over his body made him look a bit nondescript. In the peaceful and peaceful morning of Baihe City, but in front of him, there was an ever-increasing pressure on his heartstrings.

"City Lord! The beast horde is coming ahead of time!"

"City Lord! Shanqian Town has fallen!"

"City Master! We have lost three guard posts along the way!"

"City Lord!..."

Ju Sihe turned around, and took a last look at Baihe City, which was bathed in the morning light and seemed to be the same as usual.

The shops opened their doors, and the lads yawned and came out to clean up the dust accumulated overnight, and some early-rising children ran around and fought with each other...

As it happens every day, the mornings in Baihe City are the same. If possible, I really want to keep such mornings.

Ju Sihe's cold and hard face can't see any expression clearly. People who are not familiar with him only look at his face, and they may think that this is a cold and hard stone-like person, without the slightest human vitality and vitality. It is possible to abandon the city and leave at a critical moment.

After listening to the information from the last subordinate, Ju Sihe gazed at the direction of Xia Daze from afar, recruited his subordinates, and began to order in an orderly manner——

"You go to activate the highest-level protective formation, and arrange for all city residents to transfer through the central teleportation formation."

"Take my sign and go to the Beastmaster Sect to inform Daze that there has been a change. The ancient beast clan has attacked Dongzhou."

"Go to the mansion, bring the eldest son here, and order the second son to arrange the transfer of the city residents. After the matter is over, let him report to Lingwu City."

"........"

One order after another was passed on, and Ju Sihe was always methodical and unhurried. If he hadn't seen that all the orders he gave were to abandon the city and retreat quickly, no one would think that the situation at this time was already very critical and could not be delayed.

Before the last subordinate left, he seemed to hesitate.

In the end, he didn't take the order directly like the others, but turned around and asked hesitantly, "Master, don't you want to go together?"

Ju Sihe froze for a moment.

In his nearly 200 years of life, he has never experienced such an emotion as "stunned for a moment", but this time his subordinate's question gave him such an inexplicable emotion.

It's not that the other party's question is rude or anything, it's just that in all Ju Sihe's predictions, the idea of ​​"abandoning the city" is not at all. In contrast, he has never even thought about why he didn't have this idea.

When he was a teenager studying at the Beastmaster School, when he was faced with the choice of entering the inner sect to continue his studies and returning home to take over the city with his excellent talent, he chose to return to Baihe City without hesitation——

This city, which their family has guarded and managed for generations, even though it is located at the farthest corner of Dongzhou.

For many years, he has been obsessed with internal affairs, his cultivation has not improved, and whether his daily cold and rigid face is unwilling or not, no one can tell.

But whenever he walks in the city and accepts the complete trust and admiration of the city residents, no matter how unwilling he is, it will all disappear—the residents of Baihe City respect and love their city lord, even though the city lord's cultivation Only rank two, sometimes even inferior to other cultivators who came to settle down.

Facing the inquiry from his subordinates, Ju Sihe was really stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "You guys go first, and I'm here, so you can stand in the way."

That subordinate didn't dare to delay this time, and left the city gate quickly.

When he was about to go far, he took one last look at Ju Sihe on the city gate.

Presumably in terms of the majestic and tall city gate, the city lord is just a small figure that can't be seen clearly without looking carefully. However, in the eyes of this subordinate, this figure is as tall as a fellow, piercing the sky and reaching the earth.

The news of the fall of Baihe City in Dongzhou quickly spread to the Eight Great God Mountains.

At the same time, it was reported that the city lord Ju Sihe and his eldest son died in battle, and under the highest-level protective formation in the city, Baihe City did not even last for a stick of incense. The city lord was annihilated in the beast tide.

After Baihe City, the animal horde seemed to have consciously changed its direction. Instead of going directly into the hinterland of Dongzhou, it went east to west. Immediately afterwards, news of the destruction of five cities including Yanlai City, Qiu City, and Sanhuai City came successively. , The speed is so fast that I can't even wait for the news of the demise of the city ahead to be completely read.

The whole world shook.

After realizing that this was definitely not an ordinary beast tide, all the sects in the Eight Great Divine Mountains extended a helping hand one after another and began to help the people of Dongzhou resist the beast tide.

However, the effect was not as smooth as expected.

The monks of the Eight Great God Mountains did not expect that there would be powerful ancient beasts of unknown species in the beast tide. When countless cultivators died under the claws of all kinds of strange ancient beasts for no apparent reason, the disciples of Kunyuan Sword Sect finally made a move. .

After that, the four major sects, Zhaoxin Sect, Tianxuan Sect, and Bankun Palace, seemed to have negotiated with each other, and even alarmed the Tianxuan Sect Master Yunluo Shizun to come in person, and finally resisted this wave of ferocious beasts.

The beast tide was blocked at a subtle gate, before Juye City.

To the west of Juye City is the Endless Sea, and to the east is the remaining veins of Yunliu Mountain. The mountains and rivers tremble tremblingly, and birds and animals do not hear.

The back of it is the hinterland of Dongzhou, like the middle part of a gourd. Before Juye City, it was the land that was invaded by the beast tide.

At this moment, a group of black clouds stagnated in front of Juye City. Looking forward, there was no scene of people coming and going, and even the wide stone road that cost a lot of money to lay was covered by a group of gray and black clouds. In an unknown atmosphere.

The strong blood flowed in, blocking the steps of all races and cultivators to recover the lost ground.
