Yuwen Tairan had no choice but to set this rule.
The deaths of Chen Hao, Tantai Lian, and Ye Wendao made his heart bleed. The only thing worth celebrating was that the fourth level was finally opened. However, they knew nothing about the so-called "fourth level." They could only wait for the new disciples to come out before they could know the details.
Did they all die because of killing each other, or was there something else going on in the fourth level?
…
Cai Jin's mission from the Myriad Channels Chamber of Commerce came to an end. He did not receive the highest reward, but Cai Jin was very excited. Chen Hao's death made him excited. Without Chen Hao, he could have entered the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven last year. However, Chen Hao made him fail at the last step. He could not even recover the loss of suppressing his cultivation base for half a year. After confirming that Chen Hao had died in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, how could he not be happy?
As for Fan Fang, who had painstakingly cultivated in the mountains not far from the Star-Picking Sect, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The two people he hated the most had died in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven. What could he do?
…
"What a dense Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi … It's not True Essence! True Essence! "
"Seven Star … It's actually seven stars. What's going on?"
"Seven months, there's actually seven months … That's great!"
After the ten inner sect disciples stepped into the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, they were immediately filled with shock and joy. No one expected the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven to be so powerful. They also did not expect that it was not the so-called one star, but seven stars. They also did not expect that the information they received in an instant was that they could stay in there for a full seven months. This was a full four months longer than the first level to the third level.
"Chen Jun, is that you?"
"It's me! Zhao Chen? "
"Yes! It's true. It seems that the ten of us are really in the same space. No wonder Chen Hao, Ye Wendao, and Tantai Lian died here. They must have killed each other … "
"Phew … Fortunately, the Sect Leader set the rules. Otherwise, I'll be in danger … "Chen Jun said. Among the ten people who came in this time, Mo Shaocong, who was the strongest, was his enemy. In the past, their strength was on par, but this time, Mo Shaocong, who returned from the Seven Stars Cave Heaven, had obtained some kind of opportunity and advanced to the Late-stage Gold Core Realm. He was definitely not someone he could compete with. There was no doubt that if it weren't for Yuwen Tairan's rule, he would have died here.
"Hurry up and cultivate. In seven months, with such pure Quintessential Essence, it is possible for you to step into the late Golden Core stage. At best, he could only raise his cultivation to the peak of the late-stage Golden Core Realm. Even if he couldn't win in a fight, he wouldn't have to be afraid of him outside. He won't dare to kill you here, or we'll all die. The Sect Master has always been a man of his word. He would never just threaten you! "
"Yes! We put some distance between us. Let's begin! "
…
Three months later.
Thirty outer sect disciples were ejected from the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven one after another. With their improvements, Yuwen Tairan and company finally revealed a smile. Their gains were even greater than Chen Hao's batch of disciples last year. Although the new geniuses were still inferior to Chen Hao and Ye Wen Dao, they were beginning to stand out, which comforted everyone. Although the cultivation of these disciples was like an ant in front of them, they symbolized the future of the sect and had to be taken seriously.
However, none of the ten inner sect disciples who entered the fourth level came out.
It had to be said that the unknown was terrifying.
Now, everyone was most worried that the ten inner sect disciples would end up like Chen Hao and the other two. Then, the fourth level would no longer be a holy land for cultivation, but a land of death …
They didn't come out for the fourth month, and still didn't come out for the fifth month. At this time, Yuwen Tairan and company could no longer sit still. Once again, they asked the Grand Elder to check on the ten inner sect disciples. To everyone's relief, the auras of the ten inner sect disciples could be captured and easily locked onto. As for when they would come out, it was impossible for everyone to wait here.
…
One year and six and a half months.
Excluding the three months spent on the third level and the four months spent in the Seven Stars Alignment, Chen Hao had stayed in the Seven Stars Hall for a total of 11 months and 15 days.
Chen Hao had passed the Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, and Mizar arrays. Only the last array, the Alkaid Array, was left. He had stayed in the Alkaid Array for a total of six months. He had already comprehended the array, but the difficulty was the seven golden men at the peak of the late-stage Golden Core Realm.
Chen Hao had already stepped into the mid-stage Golden Core Realm, and the golden men had also advanced along with him to the peak of the late-stage Golden Core Realm. Moreover, all the golden men's realms had advanced. In addition, the seven golden men had completely formed the Seven Stars Array. Chen Hao couldn't find any flaws at all, and the attacks were endless. Chen Hao had lost count of how many times he had failed …
"Phew …"
Chen Hao, who was sitting cross-legged, let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes. The two sharp sword lights seemed to be substantial, and what was more shocking was that the essence Qi emitted from the top of his head contained a sword essence that could pierce the sky.
Swordsman.
There was no doubt that the sword essence emitted by the swordsman was many times more powerful than that of Mo Yuyi.
"I actually comprehended sword essence … I should be able to succeed, right?" Chen Hao said lightly with a hint of surprise.
After being trapped here for nearly a year, even Chen Hao didn't expect that the Alkaid Array would be so powerful after turning into the seven golden men. The first six arrays had only taken him five and a half months, but the last array had taken him half a year. Until now, he hadn't defeated the seven golden men.
"Sword essence, swordsman, I don't pursue it. Strictly speaking, the Sword Dao isn't even my main cultivation, but I can comprehend it … It seems that it should be the credit of the Solitary Sword Technique … My attack power should be increased by at least forty percent, right?"
Sensing that the energy in his body had become more condensed under the stimulation of sword essence, and that each strand of vital essence contained an invincible will, Chen Hao thought to himself, and his confidence became stronger and stronger.
The seven golden men, the peak of the Late-stage Gold Elixir Realm was their limit, and above that was the Nascent Soul Realm. Although Chen Hao was abnormal, he didn't have the ability to defeat a Nascent Soul Realm master. Chen Hao had now stepped into the Middle-stage Gold Elixir Realm, and killing any golden man was no problem. However, when the seven golden men joined forces, it was a Seven Stars Array with almost no flaws, and the energy was the same. The power it exerted was definitely not as simple as seven Late-stage Gold Elixir Realm masters. Otherwise, Chen Hao would have been able to defeat them long ago.
Chen Hao slowly stood up, his figure as straight as a sword. With a clang, he directly unsheathed his sword, and a sword light immediately merged into the crystal ball of the Alkaid Array.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Seven golden men with terrifying auras suddenly appeared in front of Chen Hao, and with a swoosh, they surrounded Chen Hao.
"Solitary Sword Art!"
Without any hesitation, Chen Hao swung his sword and stabbed out.
Streaks of incomparably sharp light spread out, and the entire space was shrouded under sword essence.
The sword light was like lightning, and the sword was merciless!
Chen Hao's expression was as solemn as a mountain and calm as an ancient well, as if he didn't reveal any emotions. There was only a ruthless sharpness, and it also contained a murderous aura that only Ye Wendao had, as if he wanted to kill everything in front of him.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant, streaks of sword light that seemed to tear through space attacked one of the seven golden men at the same time. It was unbelievably fast, and what was even more terrifying was that all the attacks were on one point, and there was no spectacular momentum, but …
For the first time in six months, Chen Hao broke through the powerful defense of the Seven Golden Men, which had instantly condensed their energy into one!
Bang!
The forehead of one of the golden men was directly penetrated, and with a swoosh, it dissipated into nothingness like golden powder. The remaining six golden men were instantly defeated. Under Chen Hao's sharp sword light, it was like cutting melons and vegetables, and it only took one minute for the battle to end. With one less, the combat strength of the six golden men was no threat at all. This was the biggest weakness of the combined formation attack, and not a single one could be missing. Chen Hao could easily kill the six golden men half a year ago.
"It's finally broken! No wonder real swordsmen are so popular … I've only just comprehended sword essence, and it's already so powerful … "
Chen Hao said with a trace of excitement. The terror of sword essence was beyond his imagination.
Hiss!
The space was distorted, and the Alkaid Formation finally collapsed. A huge circular room appeared in front of Chen Hao. It was a thousand feet in diameter, and the circular floor was divided into seven pieces. Each piece was different in color, and they were covered with runes that could operate independently and connect as a whole. It was the seven-layer formation that Chen Hao broke through. In the center of the circle stood a cylindrical platform, and on the platform were four jade slips that exuded an ancient aura.
"Secret manuals of absolute arts?"
Chen Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he was slightly disappointed. What he yearned for the most was not secret manuals of absolute arts, but precious things like elixirs and miraculous medicines, but he had no choice. Obviously, this was his reward.
"Seven Stars Sword Technique, Seven Stars Finger Sword, Seven Stars Footwork, Seven Stars Sutra … It's actually a combination of absolute arts? Thank goodness! " After Chen Hao saw the immortal names on the four jade slips, a trace of relief appeared on his face, and he directly put them into the storage space.
At this moment, a beam of light appeared out of thin air and covered Chen Hao.
"I'm afraid Xiao Lian still needs a long time …"
The moment his figure disappeared, Chen Hao thought to himself. He had a subtle thought. However, he immediately cut it off. This was definitely a good thing for Tantai Lian. It was such a sacred cultivation ground, and there were Golden Men to fight. When Tantai Lian came out, she would definitely have an astonishing improvement.
Chen Hao knew that it was not necessarily a good thing for him to come out so quickly. If he cultivated slowly, he would definitely be able to steadily improve. At least, it would be better than cultivating in the Star-Picking Sect. Even if he went out to train, it would be better to stay there if he did not have great opportunities and luck. However, Chen Hao did not deliberately care about this. If he could do it, he would do it. Let nature take its course.
...
"Hmm?"
An inner sect elder guarding the rune of the Star-Picking Peak's Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven suddenly sensed a mysterious aura fluctuation and immediately opened his eyes.
A bright light rose. Ever since the outer sect disciples returned, they had been waiting for three and a half months.
"She's finally coming out!"
The inner sect elder's face flashed with excitement. With a thought, he immediately sent out a message.
As soon as he sent out the message, the elder's expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
