Gale Wind roared all around, and the scenery changed rapidly.
But Hu Qi was keenly aware that they had not left Sect Master Peak's world area and were still in it.
In the blink of an eye, a majestic palace came into view.
The regulations of this palace are quite similar to those where Hu Qi lives, but it has a bit more chilling atmosphere.
The moment the two of them landed, they seemed to sense the presence of the visitor, and the side door of the palace opened with a heavy creaking sound.
A maid in a green skirt stepped out, her skirts fluttering slightly, and the jade pendant on her waist made a crisp sound.
"Welcome Mr. Sect Master."
The maid bowed Yingying, her voice sounding like a clear spring striking a stone.
When she raised her eyes, her eyes were calm, and she had obviously expected the person coming.
Zhang Huo looked motionless and only nodded slightly.
Hu Qi followed closely, noticing the fresh snow on the maid's shoes, leaving shallow wet marks on the bluestone ground behind her.
You know, it's sunny now.
The three of them walked through the twists and turns of the corridor, and the brass bells on the eaves trembled slightly in the cold wind.
The temperature outside is like spring, but the further you go inside, the colder the air seems.
After several twists and turns, the vision suddenly became clear.
A courtyard covered with silver stands quietly in the moonlight.
It is somewhat different from the courtyard of Hu Qi's residence. This place is full of elegance.
It was obviously specially arranged.
The carved window lattice with slanting plum branches, the lake stones covered with thin frost, and the broken jade flowers flying all over the sky.
Hu Qi opened his mouth, and the white air he breathed out turned into frost.
What fell in the courtyard were real snowflakes.
You know, it's clearly early morning outside.
There was no sign of snow at all.
But after stepping here, it felt like entering the cold winter in the night.
This situation is obviously some kind of power similar to the field.
Seeing this, Zhang Huo smiled lightly and explained.
"Don't be surprised, this is just the basic ability of Martial Saint. You can do it when you break through Martial Saint in the future.
Martial Saint, you can master the power of the sanctuary and affect the surrounding environment at will.
Of course, there are other ways to achieve similar effects.
Whether it is an exquisite formation ritual or a weather interferometer using technological products, it can be achieved. "
"Some special techniques have extremely strict requirements on the practice environment.
Some need to practice in a volcano crater surrounded by hot lava, while others must be surrounded by roaring Gale Wind.
And the 'Heavenly Desolation Nine Tribulations Body' you practice is particularly special. Its essence is to support war with war and break through the limits in a life-and-death fight.
Every duel where life hangs on a thread is the best opportunity for enlightenment of this skill."
Just then.
Ahead, under an old plum tree, the snow suddenly rustled.
But where the plum shadow was swaying, a slender figure came walking through the snow.
The woman is about twenty years old. Her figure is as tall and graceful as a bamboo, her hair is pulled into a bun and fixed with a hosta.
She was wearing a plain green robe, which covered her slim figure. The robes rolled slightly in the wind, making her look even more lonely and cold.
His face was as frosty as snow, with a somewhat alienated look between his eyebrows and eyes, and the ends of his eyes were slightly raised, adding to his sharpness.
Although the overall appearance is not absolutely beautiful, it is definitely excellent.
Behind her was a silver spear wrapped in coarse cloth.
The tip of the gun occasionally leaked a little cold light from the gaps in the cloth.
When walking, the gun body swayed slightly with the steps, and the cloth made a soft rustling sound.
A wine gourd hanging from the waist is bright and dazzling, with fiery red lines like burning Blazing Flames, which is particularly eye-catching on the plain clothes.
The gourd swayed slightly with the movement, and occasionally collided with the handle of the gun, making a crisp 'ding' sound.
In a few steps, he came to stand in front of the two of them.
Looking at Zhang Huo, she lowered her eyes slightly.
Hold your hands together and bow!
"Disciple Jiang Jiu, I have met the master!"
Hear the words.
Hu Qi's eyes moved slightly on one side.
The name Jiang Jiu is not unfamiliar to him.
Because there are two Divine Body inside Zongshi Mountain.
One of them is Jiang Jiu, who is the contemporary saint of Zongshi Mountain.
The awakened Divine Body is named Phoenix Immortal Dao Embryo Body, and his abilities are unparalleled.
In this world of martial arts and mysteries, ordinary warriors have to go through many difficulties and dangers to condense the Martial Saint child. She was born with it.
In short, when he awakens Divine Body, he steps into the realm of Martial Saint.
It's not comparable to ordinary people at all.
Now, after practicing for less than two thousand years, he has reached the state of Martial Emperor.
It is only one step away from the God of War.
It can be said that in terms of qualifications, Zongshi Mountain ranks first among them. Even that Holy Son, the speed of Holy Son's practice is slightly slower than that of him.
However, the opponent's reputation here Zongshi Mountain is not very good, and he is known to be bellicose.
Also known as a drunkard.
He likes to go crazy when he drinks.
At this time, Jiang Jiu glanced at Hu Qi.
There was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.
"This must be Junior Brother Lu Yang, right?"
"Not bad!"
Zhang Huo opened the door for Hu Qi to explain.
"This is your senior sister and the saint of Zongshi Mountain, Jiang Jiu."
"I've met Senior Sister Jiang!"
Hu Qi also learned to do what the other party did and bowed.
Jiang Jiu's eyes moved and he looked at the person in front of him carefully.
The corners of her lips raised slightly, forming a smile.
"Although his skin is mediocre and his cultivation is average, his character is good."
She walked forward slowly, her skirt gently swaying, bringing with it a fragrance.
"When ordinary people see me, they are either trembling with fear or fawning to please me."
Speaking of which.
She suddenly raised her hand and took off the red lacquer-mottled gourd from her waist, then raised her neck and took a sip of strong wine.
The amber wine snaked down her delicate white neck, spreading a few transparent flowers on the plain blue skirt.
The alcohol filled her eyes, dyeing her porcelain-white cheeks a begonia color.
But she didn't care.
Looking at Hu Qi, she suddenly smiled.
"On the other hand, you can actually remain calm in front of me."
This smile was like a glacier thawing, and the aura that was as cold as frost and snow just now suddenly turned into a spring breeze.
However, the next sentence changed the subject!
"Please remember, your senior sister, my name is Jiang Jiu, and my cultivation level is at the peak of Martial Emperor level.
That is to say, from today on, I will be your Daoist companion. If you are bullied in the future, tell me my name and I will protect you! "
The words fell.
There was a brief silence all around, with only the sound of falling snowflakes.
Hu Qi's face paused.
He looked at Zhang Huo on one side.
He didn't expect that when Zongshi Mountain joined, he would be assigned a Daoist companion?
However, this little nonsense would disturb his Qing Xiu!
Seems to have noticed this.
"Ahem..."
Seeing this, Zhang Huo coughed twice.
"Thousands of divine bodies have appeared throughout the ages, some of which are naturally compatible and complementary to each other.
Just like the two qi of yin and yang, they seem to be opposites, but in fact they complement each other. "
Speaking of which.
He paused and looked at Hu Qi and Jiang Jiu beside him.
"Among them, Desolate Heaven Tyrant Body and Phoenix Immortal Dao Embryo Body are a perfect match.
If the two can be combined, both hard and soft, they will be of great help to each other's practice.
It can be said that they are a match made in heaven, a blessing from the Tao, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are destined Tao lovers. "
Say it.
Zhang Huo continued.
"I still have something to do as a teacher, so I'll take the first step and get along well with you!"
After the words fell, before the two of them could reply, Zhang Huo's figure flashed and left the place.
Two people are left alone here.
"Come here, sit down here and let's have a nice chat!"
At this time.
Jiang Jiu came to the side and sat down at the stone table in the wooden pavilion.
His face returned to its previous cold expression.
Hu Qi's eyes moved, and he didn't know what he thought of.
Instead of refusing, he walked over and sat across from Jiang Jiu.
"Junior brother Lu Yang, do you like me?"
Jiang Jiu asked bluntly.
Hu Qi paused and smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Well, senior sister is so talented and so beautiful that all the male disciples in the sect admire her?
It's just that we just met today. Isn't it a little too hasty and lacking in emotional foundation? "
"Why should we, warriors, adhere to secular etiquette?"
Jiang Jiu looked calm.
"As for things like feelings, as time goes by, affection will grow on its own."
At this point, she continued.
"Furthermore, although you and I are designated as Daoist companions by the sect, we must at least wait until your cultivation level is comparable to mine.
Before this, dual cultivation is definitely not feasible. "
Jiang Jiu's eyes were like water, staring at Hu Qi in front of him.
"This is for your own good. Although you and I have complementary divine bodies created by nature and are a perfect match, our cultivation levels are too different. Forcing dual cultivation will only damage your foundation."
To this.
Hu Qi naturally has no objection.
Just say.
"Sister, don't worry, junior brother will definitely work hard to practice!"
After hearing what Hu Qi said, he looked at the other party seriously.
Jiang Jiu nodded with satisfaction.
"If you can break through Martial Emperor within 1,300 years, you may be able to enter Azure Lotus Realm. This is definitely a great opportunity for you!"
"I wonder what the Qinglian Realm is that Senior Sister is talking about?"
Hearing this, Hu Qi's calm heart finally aroused some interest.
"Azure Lotus Realm, it is rumored to be related to the Daoist master of Black Disc Galaxy. It will only be opened once every ten thousand years. There are still thirteen hundred years until the next time it is opened."
Jiang Jiu explained softly.
"Is it related to the Daoist Master?"
Hu Qi's eyes flashed, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"I wonder if Senior Sister can tell Junior Brother about the deeds of this Daoist Master?"
"My knowledge is limited, it's just some hearsay. Since junior brother is interested, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Jiang Jiu said.
Afterwards, the two of them started asking and answering questions like this, talking happily.
Hu Qi gradually realized that although this Jiang Jiu had been practicing for thousands of years, his mind was still as pure and flawless as a young girl due to years of seclusion.
On the other hand, Hu Qi, although his age is not much older than the other party, he has experienced the ups and downs of the world and devoured the memories of many living beings, so that he has already understood the human heart clearly.
He guided the topic without leaving a trace in his words, sometimes retreating to advance, sometimes playing hard to get, weaving the conversation like a carefully laid out chess game.
Jiang Jiu was not aware of it at all, but she felt that this junior brother Lu Yang was knowledgeable and extraordinary in conversation, and every word he spoke spoke to her heart.
Some of their interests and hobbies are surprisingly similar.
As for Hu Qi, we also obtained some rumors about this Daoist master.
The authenticity of these legends cannot be tested.
As for the relationship between the Azure Lotus Realm and it.
It is said that it was transformed from its companion vessel, and contains the inheritance of that Daoist master.
Time passed and half a month passed.
During this period, Jiang Jiu would come to Hu Qi almost every day for long talks.
According to her words, the two are cultivating feelings.
We talked about this for a few days.
Hu Qi After confirming that no useful information can be obtained from his mouth.
They used the excuse of needing to practice to shut them out.
Soon, the day of the apprenticeship ceremony came.
The world where Sect Master Peak lives.
Primordial Heaven Palace, suspended in the center, nine galaxies fall from the endless void, turning into billions of bright rays of light, surrounding this magnificent palace comparable to the stars.
Above the sky, the sun and the moon shine together, and billions of stars circulate.
Inside the main hall, clouds and mist are lingering, and fairy clouds are steaming.
Nine sky-reaching dragon pillars hold up the dome. The real dragon entwined on the pillars is not a sculpture, but an ancient dragon soul suppressed by supreme power.
When the dragon's eyes open and close, stars seem to be rising and dying. The dragon's power is so majestic that it frightens all spirits.
At the end of the main hall, on the nine jade steps, Zhang Huo, who is Zongshi Mountain Sect Master, is sitting in the frontmost seat.
On both sides of the hall, figures were sitting one after another, and the aura of each one was as deep as the sea.
These are the masters of the various peaks of Zongshi Mountain.
At this moment, the eyes of these people were focused on a figure on one side.
"This must be Lu Yang's nephew. He is truly a talented person!"
"I wonder if Lu Yang's nephew is getting married. I happen to have a granddaughter..."
"Okay, Old Ghost Yang, you look like a granddaughter and you have the nerve to say it, but Tathagata and I, Hundred Flowers Peak, every disciple is stunning in the world!"
"I saw that my nephew has already broken through Martial King at a young age. I have a Grand Void Azure Nether Qi here that can help you break through the Martial Emperor and increase the chance of condensing the perfect Martial Pill..."
The voices of the surrounding peak masters echoed in the hall.
The attitude towards Hu Qi is affable and without any airs.
They even gave away various rare natural materials Earth Treasure.
After all, as Divine Body, the other party will soon become the same level as them, or even surpass them.
Make good friends with him now, and in the future, he will gain the favor of an invincible Martial Emperor at the same level, and even the God of War, so why not do it.
The apprenticeship ceremony, to put it bluntly.
It is to publicize the identity of Hu Qi, which can be seen as a familiarity ceremony.
To this.
Hu Qi kept smiling the whole time and sat on one side.
A ceremony to recruit disciples came down.
In addition to the things given by various peak masters, there are also congratulatory gifts from Three Thousand Dao Domains and other forces.
There are so many top talent Earth Treasure that ordinary warriors rarely see or even heard of that they can't fit in.
After the apprenticeship ceremony.
Return to where you live.
Hu Qi announced his retreat to the outside world and refused anyone to visit.
Of course, retreat is just an excuse.
If you want to improve your strength, it doesn't take that long at all.
In doing so, avoiding the harassment of Jiang Jiu is only the next best thing.
The most important thing is that he has other things to do.
Think about this.
He closed his eyes.
The next second.
In the body, Lu Yang in the soul.
In an independent spiritual space.
It was pitch black all around here, and not a single white beam of light fell down.
Under the beam.
Hu Qi's body sits cross-legged.
He stretched out his right hand, opened his palm, and a group of purple light appeared in it, and finally the light converged.
Turn into a purple book.
It is the body of Reincarnation Book House, 'Record Book'.
Dao Artifact is refined as Heavenly Derivation Dao Lord.
It has rules for selecting transfer readers, publishing tasks, strengthening exchanges, etc.
As Hu Qi gradually adapts to the rules here, it can naturally also be used in the Origin Realm.
However, there will still be some restrictions.
A wisp of divine soul power spread over it.
For a moment.
Hu Qi's consciousness is constantly elevated.
A huge star field appeared in his mind, and Hu Qi was no stranger to this picture.
Because this is exactly the Silver Ring Star Domain he is currently in.
This also means that under the current situation, Reincarnation Book House's ability can only involve this star field.
As for how far it is, it is impossible.
This is greatly reduced compared to the previous power of Reincarnation Book House.
The reason why this happens.
In the previous Sea of Sumeru, the power of the rules belonged to 'Record Book'.
And within this Origin Realm, there is a more powerful law constraining it.
The results are naturally different.
certainly.
And the most important thing is.
Although Hu Qi currently has the permission of 'Record Book'.
But it can't really exert its power.
As Dao Artifact, only the Dao Master can fully unleash its full power.
However, Hu Qi is not without other options.
Think about this.
He spread out his right palm, and a Black Banner appeared out of thin air, and the dark flag flew automatically without wind.
