Bai's eyes were filled with doubt. He asked curiously, "There's a lot of pressure. Is Bai very heavy?"
Liu Ruyue slowly walked over and smiled gently. "How could Bai be heavy? It is just someone who is embarrassed."
Xiao Chen smiled awkwardly. He looked at the two of them and said, "Sorry for making you worry."
While cultivating, although Xiao Chen's mind was completely immersed in cultivation, his Divine Sense had always spread out in the surroundings, so he knew the situation outside like the back of his hand.
Liu Ruyue's actions caused Xiao Chen to feel somewhat apologetic. If such a dangerous matter was seen by someone who cared for him, they would definitely be worried. At that time, he would not be able to consider everything.
Liu Ruyue said softly, "There is no need to be so pretentious between us. Come, let's go back and rest first."
The three of them slowly walked back. Along the way, Bai was the most active among the three of them. He talked about all kinds of things and asked questions that made people not know whether to laugh or cry. The atmosphere was very relaxed.
Time flew, and soon it was the end of the month. During this period, Xiao Chen was not as crazy as before.
Every day, Xiao Chen would only spend half a day cultivating. He would spend the rest of his time with Bai and Liu Ruyue, wandering around the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
After being in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion for such a long time, Xiao Chen had not taken a good look around the Heavenly Saber Pavilion yet. Perhaps he would not have the chance to be as free as he was now.
Thus, when Liu Ruyue suggested walking around, Xiao Chen did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
As it neared the end of the month, the atmosphere of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion was extremely busy. Occasionally, experts from various places would come over.
These were all solitary cultivators or some of the smaller sects or clans. They did not receive an invitation from the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
Xiao Chen had brought many gifts, hoping that the Heavenly Saber Pavilion would give him an invitation. He wanted to show his face at the welcoming ceremony, to see if he could leave an impression on the people of the Holy Land.
Some sects had especially outstanding disciples, so they were even more eager for an invitation. If the people of the Holy Land were interested in their disciples, they would definitely be able to enter the Holy Land.
That clan or sect would immediately become a first-rate or second-rate faction in the Great Qin Nation. According to tradition, every time a Holy Land took away a person, the Holy Land would not be able to take them away.
Most importantly, they would receive the protection of a Holy Land, and no one would dare to cause trouble for them. Xiao Chen's Holy Land would protect them, and no one would dare to make trouble for them.
The endless stream of people made the disciples at the foot of the Heaven Viewing Platform with their flying Spirit Beasts earn so many Spirit Stones that their hands went limp.
Almost as soon as he picked up one person, another customer came to his door immediately. The Sky Gazing Mountain was high and steep.
If one walked up, even if they ran at full speed, it would take a regular cultivator at least half a day.
How could these anxious people bear it? Naturally, they all fought to become flying spirit beasts.
Xiao Chen looked at the foot of the Heaven Viewing Platform and the people holding onto hope. He sighed ruefully, "The charm of the Holy Land is truly extraordinary. Just one news can shake up the entire Great Qin Nation."
Liu Ruyue, who was at the side, said softly, "It can't be helped. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Holy Lands are like gods. With tens of thousands of years of inheritance, this kind of reverence is already ingrained in their bones."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he frowned slightly and said softly, "How can the path of a martial artist be pinned on the gods? Let's go somewhere else. There is nothing much to see here. "
Liu Ruyue could feel the sharpness and drive in Xiao Chen's words. She was mildly astonished. Xiao Chen did not seem to care much about the Holy Land.
"In that case, let's go and take a look at other places. There is still a good place in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion that you have not been to yet," Liu Ruyue smiled gently.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the summit of a mountain. The mountain was more than ten thousand meters tall, which astonished even Xiao Chen.
After walking a thousand meters from the middle of the mountain, the entire mountain was shrouded in clouds. When they arrived at the summit, it felt like they were strolling in the clouds.
After flying for so long, the two of them felt somewhat fatigued. When they arrived at the summit, they immediately sat down to rest.
Looking at the boundless churning clouds, Liu Ruyue had a melancholic look in her eyes. She said softly, "Ye Chen, the people from the Holy Land will be here in three days. You will be leaving the Heavenly Saber Pavilion after the competition, right?"
To Xiao Chen, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion was just a relay station. Liu Ruyue knew long ago that he would not stop at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion.
After learning Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It, Xiao Chen should have left already. However, he did not. Liu Ruyue clearly knew that it was because he wanted to repay her kindness. Perhaps, he might even have some reluctance to leave.
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression did not change much. This was a problem that had troubled him for a long time in the past.
However, when Liu Ruyue chopped down that tree that night, he had already thought it through. Humans had seven emotions and six desires. If they suppressed it, a heart demon would appear.
On the path of a cultivator, emotions were not a stumbling block for them.
Xiao Chen did not know that when he thought of this, he had unknowingly cleared the biggest obstacle in a cultivator's life: emotions.
Emotions were difficult to overcome. In history, there were many experts and geniuses. However, too many of them fell because of emotions. They suppressed their emotions in the depths of their hearts. There were even some resolute people who cut off their emotions and walked the path of cultivation alone.
When they reached the bottleneck of the peak, a heart demon would appear. In the end, they would never be able to cross that bottleneck. In the end, they would never be able to reach the peak.
After muttering to himself for a while, Xiao Chen looked at Liu Ruyue and said seriously, "Ruyue, I like you. One day, I will not let Qingyun Peak become a burden to you. I will bring you along with me."
When Liu Ruyue heard this, she blushed slightly. She did not expect the normally reserved and somewhat wooden Xiao Chen to say such bold words.
Liu Ruyue was stunned for a long time, unable to say anything. Seeing Liu Ruyue lowering her head in silence, Xiao Chen suddenly laughed loudly.
Liu Ruyue raised her head and looked at Xiao Chen. Her gaze was filled with doubt as she asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Chen did not stop laughing. He continued, "Ruyue, I really like you. I'm really an idiot. Only now do I realize that I like you even more than I imagined.
"Actually, I should have said this long ago. Whether you are willing or not, I like you. If you are willing to wait for me, one day, with my strength, I will not let Qingyun Peak become a burden to you.
"I like you, Liu Ruyue. I like you. I like you. I like your every word and smile. I like everything about you. I like how you treat me. I really like you!"
Xiao Chen suddenly said loudly. His voice was like rushing thunder, echoing ten thousand meters in the sky.
The words "I like you" caused the boundless clouds to scatter. They lingered in Liu Ruyue's ears for a long time.
Liu Ruyue blushed. She covered Xiao Chen's mouth and said, "Don't be so loud. I know you like me."
Xiao Chen looked at Liu Ruyue, whose eyes were slightly moist. He gently removed her right hand from his mouth and held it tightly.
Liu Ruyue held Xiao Chen's hand. When she felt the temperature of his palm, her tears turned into a smile. She said softly, "I believe you can do it. I will wait for you at Qingyun Peak until you return."
Xiao Chen gently pulled Liu Ruyue's hand and pulled her into his embrace. The two of them did not say anything as they hugged each other tightly.
--- Three days later, the grand welcoming ceremony finally began. The entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion was immersed in a joyous atmosphere. All the inner disciples woke up early on this day.
Xiao Chen was the same. Before the sky brightened, he had already put on his clothes and started practicing his Saber Techniques in the courtyard.
There would definitely be a huge battle today. Be it Duanmuqing, Mu Chengxue, Shi Feng, Yan Chixue, Hua Yunfei, or Ji Changkong, they were all outstanding talents whose names shook the region.
Although Xiao Chen was confident that he could defeat them one by one, he did not dare to be careless.
A cool breeze rustled and saber lights flickered. Xiao Chen executed all the Martial Techniques he knew.
Of course, he only executed them once and did not use too much Essence. Otherwise, if he executed them all, this courtyard would probably be destroyed.
When Xiao Chen finished executing them, Liu Ruyue, who had appeared at an unknown time, held a folded white robe in her hands. She had a faint smile on her face as she looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at the white robe in Liu Ruyue's hands and felt a strange energy coming from it. He asked suspiciously, "Ruyue, what is this?"
Liu Ruyue explained, "This is a Secret Treasure, one of the treasures of Qingyun Peak. It is called the Clear Wind Robe. After you wear it, it can increase your speed by ten percent in all aspects. Be it dodging speed, attacking speed, or running speed, they will all increase by ten percent.
"The most important thing is that it does not require you to expend any energy. It will automatically display its effects at all times."
Xiao Chen received the white Clear Wind Robe and revealed a joyful expression. If he had only heard the first part, it would not have been a big deal; it would only increase his speed by ten percent.
However, with the last part, this Clear Wind Robe was worthy of being called a treasure. It did not require any Essence to display its effects at all times. It was equivalent to permanently increasing a cultivator's Movement Technique by ten percent.
Furthermore, it would increase as the cultivator's speed increased; there was no limit. When used together with Xiao Chen's Windwalk Shoes, it was a perfect match.
"Don't just stand there. Quickly put it on and familiarize yourself with it," Liu Ruyue said as she gently pushed Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and nodded. He took the white robe and walked to the bedroom. Then, he took off his jacket and changed into the Clear Wind Robe.
After Xiao Chen put on the robe and fastened his belt, he looked at himself in the mirror. In the mirror, Xiao Chen was dressed in white robes. His complexion was pale and there was a blue strip of cloth tied around his head.
After the scarlet throne's mark was covered, Xiao Chen's aura became very otherworldly. Compared to his usual aura, there was an additional scholarly aura. This completely covered up all of Xiao Chen's killing intent.
This was only the change in appearance. What shocked Xiao Chen even more was the internal change when he put on the robes.
When he put on the robe, thin energy lines that could not be seen by the naked eye immediately shot down from the surface of the white cloth. They entered his skin through his pores and quickly connected with all the cells and meridians in Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen waved his hand. He immediately felt that his waving speed was much faster than usual. He raised his leg and took a step forward. Who knew, this step was much faster than he expected? He lost his balance and nearly fell over.
This was because his speed had suddenly increased by ten percent. Before his body could get used to it, Xiao Chen quickly understood the reason behind it.
