Liu Qing shook his head and smiled, "If that is the case, then I will have to disappoint you. Although this book is called the simplified version of the Nine Saber Heavenly Exterminating Formation, it has nothing to do with it.
"This book is based on the Nine Saber Heavenly Exterminating Formation. Although it is very powerful, it requires nine cultivators of similar cultivation to cooperate strictly. The requirements are very high, and it only exists in theory.
"Aside from the person in charge of the formation, the other eight people need to be like this person's arm. They need to move freely and naturally, without any hesitation or pause. If there is any disharmony, the formation will immediately fail and cause a backlash."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He said, "Old Senior, how do you know so clearly?!"
Liu Qing smiled faintly and said, "I am not talented, but I was the one who wrote this book."
So that's how it is. No wonder he is so familiar with it and knows it so clearly. Xiao Chen said, "In that case, I will listen to Senior and not look at this book."
"Wait a moment." Liu Qing stopped Xiao Chen and handed him a complete simplified version of the Nine Saber Heavenly Exterminating Formation. "It is fine to look at it sometimes. Who knows, you might be able to find a solution in the future."
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. After he received it and thanked Liu Qing, he immediately left the library.
Outside the library, Liu Suifeng sat alone on the stone steps. His expression was very lonely; he was probably still thinking about Wang Rong's return.
Xiao Chen walked over to his side. He was not sure what kind of grudge Liu Suifeng had with Wang Rong, so he did not know how to console him. Sometimes, it was fine to suffer a setback or setback. It was fine as long as one could learn from the humiliation and move forward bravely.
However, Xiao Chen did not know if Liu Suifeng could figure it out. If he was unable to recover from this setback, he would only develop a heart demon, and his cultivation would come to a halt.
"Brother Ye, did you obtain the secret manual? Let's go down the mountain. Thank you for helping me earlier." When Liu Suifeng heard Ye Chen's footsteps, he got up and forced a smile.
Xiao Chen patted his shoulder and said, "We are friends. It is only right for me to help you."
On the way down, Liu Suifeng was silent. He was not as happy as he was when he first came up the mountain. The two of them walked down the mountain in silence.
Wait!
After the two of them walked for a while, a voice suddenly appeared in their minds. They stopped and exchanged glances. They could see a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
Suddenly, Liu Suifeng closed his eyes as though he was communicating with the voice. After a while, he opened his eyes and said to Xiao Chen, "My old man wants you to go to the summit. He wants to see you."
Liu Suifeng's father, the previous Peak master of Qingyun peak, the person who controlled the Divine Weapon and lived at the peak. to. Xiao Chen was. He actually wanted to to.
He. Xiao Chen to ask.. He, "Xiao, Xiao Chen, to..
He. Saber. Liu.. Chen., Xiao. Chen. Chen nodded to. with to to to to to to with. to.
. "Xiao Chen nodded. He executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art and dashed on the mountain path. In the blink of an eye, he had traveled a few hundred meters.
Liu Suifeng watched as Xiao Chen disappeared. He muttered, "I really don't understand. A few months ago, his strength was about the same as mine. Now, I can't see through him at all. He might even be able to fight against Wang Rong."
When Liu Suifeng thought of Wang Rong, he revealed an expression of hatred and helplessness.
Qingyun peak was four or five thousand meters tall. The higher one went, the steeper the path became. In the end, there was no longer a complete path. There was only a precipitous mountain. Clouds lingered at the top of the mountain. A strong wind blew, making people's clothes flutter.
Xiao Chen looked around. The cliff was smooth and there was still a kilometer of height. He could not find a suitable place to borrow strength from. The Small Perfection Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art was unable to fly.
Xiao Chen could only use the Gravity Spell and fly to the top of the mountain. Using the Gravity Spell at a height of several thousand meters exhausted a lot of Essence. Furthermore, the strong wind blew. This last part of the journey was very slow.
Xiao Chen felt like he was ascending to the heavens. He did not know how Liu Suifeng managed to get up there in the past. After making it to the top of the mountain, Xiao Chen landed firmly on the ground.
At the top of the mountain, an old man sat cross-legged on a rock. His expression did not change at all; it was like he was one with the rock.
Beside the rock was the Divine Weapon that could destroy the world. It was placed quietly in a wooden box, looking very ordinary.
Xiao Chen had always been curious about the old man's identity. He had an uncertain guess. Now that he saw the old man, he sized him up carefully. However, he discovered that the old man was different from the person in his memory.
After coming to such a conclusion, for some reason, Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
The old man slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Chen. He smiled faintly and said, "I did not expect us to meet again so soon. Successor of the Thunder King, is the scabbard I gave you useful?"
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was startled. A strange light flashed in his eyes. He stared at the old man and said, "So, it really is you!"
The identity of the Thunder King's successor was Xiao Chen's most sensitive identity. When he heard this person mention it again, he quickly placed his right hand on the saber hilt. He gathered his aura and prepared to make a move at any moment.
The old man smiled faintly and said, "There is no need to be nervous. If I wanted to harm you, I would not have given you this scabbard that day. Otherwise, the people from the Elders' Assembly would have sensed the aura of the Thunder Wood Sword long ago and killed you on the spot."
Although Xiao Chen said that, he did not lower his guard at all. The feeling of having his life in someone else's hands made him very uncomfortable.
If Xiao Chen understood the old man in another way, if the old man wanted to harm him, all he had to do was announce Xiao Chen's identity and he would face a calamity.
Xiao Chen said sullenly, "In that case, why did you call me here? It can't be that you just want to meet me, right?"
The old man did not answer Xiao Chen's question directly. He said, "Although I cannot leave the Coiling Mountain Rock under my feet, everything that happens in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion cannot be hidden from my eyes."
Cannot leave the rock I'm sitting on? Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense and looked carefully at the rock the old man was sitting on. When he scanned it with his Spiritual Sense, something that could not be seen with the naked eye appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.
On the Coiling Mountain Rock, there were black tentacles wrapped around the old man's body like vines. The tentacles were extremely horrifying; they gave off a black Demonic Qi.
Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense and looked again. However, he discovered that everything was normal; he did not see anything. So that was the case. Back then, when Biyun Peak's Song Que came to kill his way here, the old man was unable to help.
The reason was probably these black tentacles. The feeling the tentacles gave Xiao Chen was similar to the Corpse King Imprint that appeared in his body before.
When the old man felt Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense, there was some astonishment in his eyes. What a strong Soul Energy! It is already as strong as mine. Furthermore, it seems like he is even more proficient in using it than me.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and said indifferently, "What you can see is none of my business. I came to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion as a private person."
"I only came to learn Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It. I will not cause any trouble in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Senior, please do not mention my identity as the Thunder King's inheritor."
The old man's expression did not change. He smiled gently and said, "Nothing in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion can be hidden from my eyes."
After saying that, the old man paused for a while. He gave Xiao Chen a deep look before continuing, "This includes everything that happened in the Spirit Vein realm, which is the herb field."
This time, Xiao Chen was completely astonished. He did not expect such a secret to be discovered by this person in the underground world. Doesn't that mean that everything that happened in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is under the control of this person?
The old man continued, "Don't overthink this. Although I can see everything in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, I will not keep an eye on a person for no reason. That would exhaust a lot of energy. Most of my attention is focused on the spatial crack in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. I do not have time to care about you.
"The reason I noticed you in the Spirit Vein realm was because I had to deal with the Heavenly Wolf Race's Fiend King. So, I split some of my Soul Energy."
Xiao Chen felt more at ease. However, he still did not understand, "You have been talking for so long. You still have not told me why you are looking for me."
"Young man, don't be impatient. There are some things that cannot be explained with just a few words." The old man's expression did not change. He said indifferently, "Since you have received benefits from a senior of my Heavenly Saber Pavilion and my daughter taught you Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It, can I ask you for a favor?"
Help? Xiao Chen did not hesitate to ask this question. After receiving a favor, he had to repay it. This made perfect sense. He cupped his hands and said, "As long as it is within my capabilities, I am willing to help."
However, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is filled with talents. What kind of favor do they need a pawn like me to help? This was the question that Xiao Chen was truly puzzled about.
Xiao Chen was not that arrogant. With his current strength, there were too many people stronger than him in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. He could not understand why the old man would ask him for help.
Thus, Xiao Chen kept an eye out. He would only help if it was within his capabilities. If it was beyond his capabilities, he would not be able to help even if he wanted to.
"Naturally, it is within your capabilities. Furthermore, this is something that only you can do. Remember your promise today."
What exactly did the old man want Xiao Chen to help with? When Xiao Chen left the summit, he did not know. The old man only said to remember today's promise.
Making a promise for no reason at all, Xiao Chen felt somewhat depressed. However, time was of the essence. When he arrived at the dueling grounds, he started to comprehend Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It anxiously with Liu Ruyue's help.
There was no time to be depressed. When he returned to his courtyard at night, he started to cultivate anxiously, learning the Lingyun Saber Technique.
Time passed very quickly every day. There was almost no time for him to relax. Aside from cultivating, there was more cultivating.
At the same time, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's annual core disciple exam entered a countdown. The entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion entered a state of bitter cultivation.
Even some of the core disciples did not dare to relax. This was because, according to the rules, the low-ranked core disciples would have to fight with the ordinary disciples taking the exam. If they fought, they would lose their core disciple status.
Such a rule was a form of motivation for them. They did not dare to be negligent.
