"Thank you, Deputy Hall Master Chen, and thank you to the sect!"
The eight people thanked him in unison, with sincere gratitude in their voices.
Chen Wanjun nodded slightly and continued:
"The credit has been recorded in your name. When you need to redeem it, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion or the corresponding hall."
He paused, glanced at the eight people, and spoke in a more solemn tone:
"There is one more thing I need to tell you."
The eight people looked stern and listened quietly.
"Cloud Mist Mountain Range, Seven Sects has decided to invite the master-level monsters to go into the mountains to eliminate the most likely grandmaster-level monsters."
Chen Wanjun said slowly.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, but you need to remember - it must not be spread to others, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
"Yes."
Eight people responded in unison.
Chen Wanjun nodded slightly, glanced at the eight people, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
"The eight of you are the most outstanding disciples of the Azure Profound Sect's generation. After this battle, you can better understand the dangers of the path of martial arts."
"Remember, in the way of cultivation, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Don't be complacent because of temporary achievements, and don't be discouraged by temporary setbacks. The path of martial arts is long, and only by perseverance can you reach the top."
The eight people looked solemn, stood up together, and bowed:
"I sincerely follow the teachings of Bishop Chen."
Chen Wanjun nodded slightly and waved his hand:
"Go ahead."
Eight people quit Side Hall.
Walking out of the Law Enforcement Hall hall, warm sunshine filled the whole body. Eight people walked side by side and walked along the bluestone path in the direction of True Transmission Courtyard.
All of them were not very talkative, and without any conversation, they arrived at the True Transmission Courtyard entrance before they knew it.
"Let's just say goodbye."
Luo Yuntian spoke first, nodded slightly to everyone, turned around and walked to his own courtyard.
Mad Butcher, Chen Wuhen, Su Yuwei and others also said goodbye one after another and dispersed.
Fang Han went to No. 35 Annex alone.
Back in the courtyard, Qui Lan greeted him.
"Senior brother, do you want breakfast?"
Fang Han nodded slightly. "Use it simply."
Qui Lan responded, turned around and gave instructions.
Not long after, several exquisite side dishes and a steaming bowl of rice porridge were placed on the Side Hall's table.
Fang Han Sit down and eat slowly.
The current merit is enough to exchange for a master-level skill.
Grandmaster-level skills, no matter what type, are treasure-level existences that can suppress the sect. They are the dreams of any warrior Opportunity.
"What type of skill should I use this precious opportunity to exchange for?"
Fang Han fell into thinking.
What he is practicing now, <Mystic Wind Art>, is High Grade internal strength, which is pretty good among High Grade.
<Void-Sundering Nine Swords> is the top Sword Technique, which has reached Mastery Realm and is not far away from the Perfection Realm.
<Windcloud Escape> is the top Body Movement, which has reached Proficiency Realm, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
<Black Tortoise True Art> is the master-level Horizontal Training technique, which has been Beginner stage and is being steadily advanced.
As for the secret technique, Medium Grade secret technique <Spirit Sniffing Art> has reached Greater Accomplishment, and High Grade secret technique <Return to Ruin Essence Concealment Art> has reached Minor Accomplishment.
Originally, he was inclined to choose the master level internal strength.
After all, since there are no top-level internal skills, if you want to obtain better internal skills, you can only exchange them for master-level internal skills.
However...
Fang Han frowned slightly.
<Void-Sundering Nine Swords> is already Greater Accomplishment, and is not far from the Perfection Realm.
Once Perfection Realm is reached, there will be no progress. If you want to continue your studies on Sword Technique, you can only redeem the master level Sword Technique.
The Major Merit required for redemption is only available once. You must be careful whether you choose internal strength or Sword Technique.
He closed his eyes and weighed it over and over in his mind.
Internal strength is the foundation, which determines the upper limit of cultivation and the quality of Internal Qi.
Sword Technique is an offensive technique, which determines the level of combat power and the efficiency of killing enemies.
Both are indispensable, but given his current situation, which one is more urgent?
<Mystic Wind Art> Although it is only High Grade, you can still continue to practice even if you break through to Upper Third Grade in the future.
It's just that the speed of practice will not be as good as the master-level internal skills.
And Sword Technique...
He opened his eyes, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
<Void-Sundering Nine Swords> has reached Greater Accomplishment and is not far from the Perfection Realm.
Once Perfection Realm, this top Sword Technique was completely penetrated by him, and he could no longer advance.
By then, if there is no master-level Sword Technique to continue, his cultivation in Sword Technique will stagnate.
In comparison, even if you break through to Upper Third Grade in the future, the existing internal energy methods can still be used.
"Exchange the master level Sword Technique first!"
Fang Han has made a decision in his heart.
Sword Technique Perfection Realm is coming soon, and after the Perfection Realm, it will just connect to the master level Sword Technique.
As for internal strength, it is not as urgently needed as Sword Technique. You can redeem it after you accumulate enough merit in the future.
"Don't rush to redeem it yet."
Fang Han whispered to himself and was not in a hurry to go to the Library Pavilion to redeem it.
Sword Technique is not yet Perfection Realm. At this moment, if you exchange it for the master level Sword Technique, you will not be able to practice.
It is better to attack Perfection Realm of <Void-Sundering Nine Swords> with all your strength first, wait for Sword Technique Perfection Realm, and then go to the Library Pavilion to exchange.
The mind has been made up, Fang Han no longer thinks about it.
After breakfast, Fang Han took a short rest and then came to the open space in the courtyard where he usually practices.
Cloudsplitter Sword was unsheathed, and the sword blade of Dark Cyan was shining with restrained brilliance in the sunlight.
He did not immediately use the sword move, but stood with the sword in hand, closing his eyes and concentrating.
The sword techniques of <Void-Sundering Nine Swords> are flowing in my heart, and those moves and changes that I have long been familiar with are slowly unfolding in my mind like a scroll at this moment.
Today, he is as if there is a layer of gauze between him and Perfection Realm.
Just break through this layer of gauze to make Sword Technique undergo a qualitative change and reach Perfection Realm.
The key to breakthrough lies in the understanding of Wind Momentum.
Wind Momentum, invisible and formless, can be soft or hard, can be gathered or dispersed.
And the power of Void Sundering is to find the meaning of "Void Sundering" that tears everything apart in this formless and formless thing.
He opened his eyes, and Cloudsplitter Sword slowly thrust out.
This sword is extremely slow.
Slowly enough that every inch of movement is clearly visible, so slowly that when the tip of the sword cuts through the air, you can even see tiny ripples in the air being slowly pushed away.
But the strange thing is that although this sword is slow, it gives people a feeling that it is impossible to avoid.
It seems that no matter how you dodge, the sword will eventually fall on you.
The tip of the sword stopped in the air, Fang Han frowned slightly.
No.
He drew back his sword and thrust it out again.
This time, it was a little faster.
Still not right.
He thrust out again and again, and withdrew again and again, from extremely slow to extremely fast, and from extremely fast to extremely slow.
The sun is getting higher and setting towards the west.
Fang Han stood in the courtyard, motionless.
He no longer drew his sword, but stood with it in hand, closing his eyes and meditating.
In my mind, countless scenes of sword moves flashed, and countless perceptions about "wind" and "Void Sundering" collided.
Suddenly--
He opened his eyes.
Cloudsplitter Sword unsheathed.
This sword was neither fast nor slow, neither hard nor soft, it was just a sword stabbing out in an ordinary way.
However, wherever the sword tip passed, a thin crack appeared in the air silently.
The fine marks are very faint, so faint that they are almost invisible, but they are real.
The moment the sword tip stopped, the thin mark slowly closed and existed for a very long time.
Fang Han stood with a sword in his hand, a glimmer of understanding flashing in his eyes.
Although he failed to break through the Perfection Realm, he knew that he was one step closer to the Perfection Realm.
Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
The setting sun dyed the horizon a dark golden red, and the rolling mountains looked like creeping giant beasts in the twilight, silent and oppressive.
On the outskirts of the mountain range, on an open plain, seven figures stood with their hands behind their backs.
They stand or sit with different expressions, but the aura exuded by each figure is enough to make ordinary warriors tremble with fear.
That was the pressure of a master-level powerhouse.
Seven people, Seven Sects, each has a grandmaster.
Azure Profound Sect Here is an old man who looks to be in his sixties.
He has a slender figure and a thin face, and his complexion is as pale as if he had been in seclusion for many years without seeing the sun.
Wearing a simple dark blue robe without any unnecessary decoration, even the jade belt around her waist is plain and without any lines.
He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked into the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. His eyes were as deep as ancient wells, without any ripples in sight.
But if you look closely, you can find that deep in the ancient well, there are occasional flashes of light, like a dragon lurking under the deep pool. Once you open your eyes, there will be a stormy sea.
He is Supreme Elder of the Azure Profound Sect, and Gu Changqing known as "Azure Profound Sword".
He became famous sixty years ago with his superb Azure Profound Sword Art and powerful Qingyang.
Now he lives in seclusion behind the scenes, focusing on martial arts and rarely interfering with the sect's secular affairs. If Cloud Mist Mountain Range had not seen a suspected master-level monster this time, he would not have come out personally.
Nether Pavilion Over there, there was also an old man standing.
This man is of medium build, neither fat nor thin. He wears a wide black robe, with the unique flame pattern of the Nether Pavilion embroidered with dark gold silk thread on the corners of the robe, looming in the dusk.
A pair of eyes revealed a strange Gray-White. When opening and closing, the dim light flickered, as if it could capture one's soul.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes did not look at the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, but fell on Gu Changqing.
There was scrutiny, consideration, and a hint of hostility in that gaze.
He is Supreme Elder of the Nether Pavilion, and Li Hanjiang known as "Ghost Eye".
Contemporaries of Gu Changqing, among the younger generation of Qingyang Prefecture, the two were old enemies. They fought openly and secretly for decades, but no one could really overpower the other.
Although it has now receded into the background, this grudge has never dissipated.
Vajra Temple Over there is an old monk wearing a golden cassock.
His face was kind, his eyebrows were drooped, and his eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
But if you look closely, you can find that in the depths of the half-opened eyes, there is an occasional flash of golden light, like a sleeping angry-eyed King Kong. Once the eyes are opened, it is the wrath of thunder.
He sat cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, forming a seal with his hands. The aura around him was as calm as an ancient well, but there was also a faint heaviness like a mountain.
He is Supreme Elder of Vajra Temple, with the legal name "Huiming", and Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, also known as Qingyang. It is said that his Horizontal Training kung fu has reached the state of perfection, and ordinary weapons cannot leave even a white mark on his body.
Hundred Flower Valley Over there is a woman who looks to be in her thirties.
She was wearing a pale pink dress with complicated patterns embroidered with silver thread on the hem. She was tied with a silk ribbon of the same color around her waist, and a small sachet hung on the silk ribbon.
The face is gorgeous, the eyebrows are picturesque, and the eyes are full of water, as if they contain infinite tenderness.
She stood casually under a flower tree, holding a small flower condensed by Gang Qi in her hand, lowering her head to play with it, or in other words, to practice.
She is Supreme Elder from Hundred Flower Valley, and Liu Meiniang known as "Flower Immortal". She became famous forty years ago, and her Hundred Flowers Flying Immortal Sword Art is superb.
