The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

Xiao Chen cupped his hands slightly and walked away alone. Before he had gone far, the elder in red suddenly stopped him, "Liao Wuchen, wait a moment."

Xiao Chen stopped and turned around, "What are your orders, elder?"

The red-clothed elder looked at him, stroked his white beard, and said slowly, "Among the new disciples this time, you have the highest moral conduct. Are you willing to be the senior brother of this new disciple?"

As soon as these words came out, many newcomers in the distance were surprised. Naturally, they had already understood before coming. Tianji Tower is not equal to some other sects. The competition here is very fierce, especially between old disciples and new disciples. In order to cultivate resources, there are constant conflicts, which is also a kind of training.

As for making Wuchen their senior brother, it was obvious that the two elders liked him very much, so they asked him to be the senior brother of the newcomers. While leading the newcomers to practice, they should also protect their own junior brothers and sisters. ✪

Of course, no one here is dissatisfied. After all, the strength that Xiao Chen showed just now is obvious to all. At this moment, many people have envious eyes. Being able to become the senior brother "hand-picked" by the trial elder means that he will achieve higher achievements in the future. It will also be easier to get guidance from the "Four Elders" of Tianji Tower.

At this moment, the two elders looked at Xiao Chen, originally expecting him to nod happily, but unexpectedly he cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, this disciple thought that he didn't have the ability yet."

Hearing this, everyone in the distance was even more startled. Why did he refuse? Such a good opportunity, no one else could ask for it. In the past, disciples who wanted to be a senior had to fight over each other and decide by fighting. Now the elder appointed him to be the senior, why did he refuse?

Everyone felt very incredible. The girl named Ling Luan also ran over quickly and shouted with surprise on her face, "Hey! Liao Wuchen, what are you doing?"

"Feel sorry."

Xiao Chen bowed his hands to the two trial elders again, turned around and walked away.

He doesn't know how to be this senior brother, even though he knows that becoming this senior brother will make it easier for him to find the senior Gudeng in the future, but he doesn't know how.

Nowadays, every time he thinks of Qian Yu Nishang, his heart still hurts for a moment, so he will no longer be bound to her, or to anyone else.

Moreover, he came here not to practice like others, but to achieve unlimited achievements in the future. He just came here to find someone.

The two trial elders looked at him leaving alone at this moment and nodded slightly. Everyone has his own ambitions. Since he didn't want to be this senior brother, they would no longer force him.

…

A crescent moon was hanging sideways at night. Xiao Chen performed best in the trial, so he had a separate courtyard. At this moment, he was sitting by the window sill of the attic, looking at the crescent moon in the sky in a daze.

The thoughts in my mind are chaotic, and I sometimes think of Weiyang. Where is Weiyang now?

Sometimes I think about the ancient village that was filled with blood overnight more than 20 years ago. Who did it and why? Who am I?

He took out the blood jade given by his master and saw a faint red light flowing on the blood jade. To this day, he can still feel a sense of blood connection from this blood jade, especially that time when he picked up ruins under the desert. After arriving at the mysterious black disk, this feeling of blood connection became even more obvious.

Why does the blood jade given to me by the master feel like a blood connection with me?

He held the blood jade in his hand and couldn't figure it out after thinking about it over and over again. He took a deep breath and had to take the blood jade back. For some reason, he now felt that he was covered with secrets, whether it was the Heavenly Book technique or this... A blood jade, or the mysterious black disk, are both secrets.

I don’t know how long it took, but the night was getting deeper and deeper, and the cold wind blew up the dead leaves on the ground.

Suddenly, he remembered something again. When he passed Kuangsha Castle before, he heard Granny Meng say that the man who was seriously injured three hundred years ago, although his injuries were cured by Nianxiang Quilt, his physical skills could not Recovery, where did that person go? Could it be that... you have also been here?

Xiao Chen's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. He always felt that something was very unusual. Who was that person? What happened in the ancient land of Xianyuan more than three hundred years ago? Xuanqingmen...

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and a wisp of black energy suddenly appeared between his eyebrows and his palms.

"It's this death energy again..."

Xiao Chen's face turned pale. Looking at the faint wisp of death in his palm, a few drops of cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.

Today, when he used his kung fu to resist the two attacks from Elder Ziyi, he faintly touched the death energy in his body. Now he doesn't know what happened. Because of practicing the Heavenly Book, it seems that a grain of death has been buried in his body. seed.

This death seed gave him the ability to control life and death, and he could control the life and death of all things at will. It greatly increased his cultivation, and his Taoism has far exceeded that of his peers.

But at the same time, this seed of death seemed to be eating away at him bit by bit, and even caused his character to change unconsciously, becoming ruthless, cold, and indifferent to life and death.

Now he can still suppress this backlash with a profound Taoist technique, but he doesn't know what will happen in the future.

After a long time, he finally used the Yaoguang Mind Technique to suppress the death energy again, but he didn't know when it would happen again next time, or if it would suddenly burst out when he used his strength.

…

Early the next morning, Xiao Chen and twenty-three other newcomers went to the Cultivation Peak. The Cultivation Peak is the place where disciples practice on weekdays. There are many cultivation valleys, and each cultivation valley has a different aura.

The newcomers were very lucky this time. The elders assigned them a training valley with abundant spiritual energy. However, as a result, the old disciples who had practiced in this valley had to withdraw. I thought there would be a conflict in the future.

But these are not important to Xiao Chen. On the third day, he stopped going to the Cultivation Valley. Others came to Tianji Tower to practice, but he came here just to find Senior Gudeng. When he found Gudeng After becoming a senior, he will leave Tianji Tower to find Weiyang.

Senior Gudeng is actually one of the "Four Elders" of Tianji Tower. If newcomers want to meet the four elders, they can only go through the tower called "Tianji".

The "Tianji" Tower is also the top priority for disciples to practice. Every disciple must enter the "Tianji" to practice. There are ninety-nine and eighty-one levels in the "Tianji". Disciples have the opportunity to enter the tower once a year. Trial, after passing the many tests at each level, which level you can finally reach, you can practice at that level in the next year.

If new people want to meet the four elders, they must reach at least the "36th floor".

Three months later, it will be time to enter the tower for trial, so now, Xiao Chen only needs to wait quietly for three months.

Unconsciously, a month has passed, and it has already entered the cold winter, but there is no heavy snow falling on Tianji Peak, and there is only a deep cold.

This month, Xiao Chen has not been to the Cultivation Valley again, and has always practiced in his courtyard attic. Just after noon that day, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside, followed by a girl's anxious voice: "Nothing." Chen! Are you in there? "

Xiao Chen ignored the girl outside. No matter how she shouted, she never opened her eyes. In the end, the girl suddenly ran up to the pavilion, opened the door and walked in. It was the girl named Ling Luan from before.

"go out."

Xiao Chen still closed his eyes and said coldly.

Lingluan came over and looked at him with sincere eyes: "Liao Wuchen, please help us. We can't defeat them. Now the senior sisters and junior brothers have been driven away by them. We have no place to practice. If this continues , unable to gather the spiritual energy of the cultivation valley, two months later, we will not be able to enter the Tianji Tower at all. In that case, we will not be able to enter the Tianji Tower for the next year..."

Xiao Chen finally opened his eyes. When Lingluan saw him opening his eyes, he quickly brought a cup of tea from the table next to him and looked at him earnestly, "Liao Wuchen, can you help us..."

Xiao Chen did not go to take the tea she brought over, but simply said, "You should go to the elders for this kind of thing."

Lingluan shook his head after hearing this, "No, no, no, the elders won't care about this kind of thing. Only you can help us. Three days later, Feng Gufei's people will have a duel with us, but we can't beat them at all. If we fail, , we will have no place to practice..."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, stood up slowly, walked to the window, looked at the fallen leaves covering the yard, and said calmly, "I won't help you."

"Why?"

Lingluan looked at him in great surprise. Along the way, she thought to herself that no matter how cold this person was, he would never be so heartless that he wouldn't save him until death, but now...

She walked over slowly and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you help us..."

"There are so many reasons why."

Xiao Chen's voice was cold, and he turned around and walked back. Lingluan stayed behind for a long time and said, "But...but, aren't we together?"

"Together?"

Xiao Chen sat back slowly and said calmly, "When did I say I was with you? Go back, I won't help you." At the end of the sentence, he closed his eyes and ignored her.

After a while, Ling Luan came up again. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Then...how about I give you spirit stones? I have many, many spirit stones that I can give to you."

As she spoke, she dug into her sleeves and finally took out a light purple spirit stone and handed it to him, "Here! Look!"

Xiao Chen still didn't open his eyes. Lingluan looked at the small spirit stone in his hand, slowly lowered his head, scratched his head and said, "I, I only have this one now..." The words ended here. , suddenly raised his head again and said seriously, "But I, I can give you a lot of spiritual stones in the future! I have spiritual stones as high as a mountain!"

"I said I wouldn't help you, but I just can't. It's useless to talk more. Don't disturb my practice." Xiao Chen's voice was cold. At the end of his words, he flicked his sleeves and sent Ling Luan away with a blast of palm wind.

Ling Luan was sent out of the door by the wind in the palm of his hand. He staggered back a few steps before he could stand still. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a "bang" and the door was closed.
