The black sun silently vanished and the day arrived. The sun and moon were interchanging.
Afterwards, Chen Zong also saw the arrival of spring as the Stars Sword Master played his zither. Everything came back to life in that instant. Seeds broke out of the ground and began to grow.
When spring quietly passed, a series of rumbling sounds resounded throughout the heavens and earth. Thunder raged endlessly, vast and mighty in all directions, bringing along layers of dark clouds that filled the sky. Lightning dragons and snakes traversed through the black clouds in all directions, as if a flood dragon was stirring up wind and waves in the vast ocean.
Torrential rain fell from the sky. Bean-sized raindrops descended like the fury of the world. After the rain passed, the weather began to heat up. Summer had arrived.
When summer gradually changed from heat to heat, the air became drier and drier. Wisps of desolation silently grew and spread out.
Autumn!
The bleakness became more and more dignified. The chill also quietly pervaded the air, descended, and gradually became heavier. A white goose feather-like thing fell from the dusky sky, fluttering about. That was a snowflake, a white snowflake.
Winter arrived!
White snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the world.
Spring left and summer came. Summer retreated and autumn arrived. Autumn hid and winter arrived. Winter disappeared and spring appeared …
This was the rotation of the four seasons. It had actually appeared in the Stars Sword Master's zither.
Stars appeared, the sun and moon alternated, night and day alternated, and the rotation of the four seasons. Every single one of them contained astonishing mysteries. They belonged to the mysteries of the Dao, the mysteries of the Stars Sword Master's own Dao of the Sword.
The Dao of the Stars Sword Palace was the Stars Sword Way, but it was just a general name. Different experts from the Stars Sword Palace had different Dao of the Stars.
Of course, it was the same in the beginning, but it would become more and more different towards the end.
Stars manifested to condense the Minor Stars Sword Domain. It was the third level of the Prodigious Astral Sword Art. The Hanging Moon was the fourth level, and the Blazing Sun was the fifth level. This was basically the level of the Prodigious Astral Sword Art.
Ten thousand layers did not refer to ten thousand layers. That was impossible.
Next, it was the Great Sword Saint's own comprehension.
The Stars Sword Master's comprehension was to transform into a black sun. That was the sixth level.
After the black sun, it would transform into the rotation of the four seasons. That was the seventh level.
What was the relationship between the four seasons and the Stars Sword Dao?
Chen Zong didn't know, because his Realm was indeed not at that level. Even though the way of cultivation was different, there was still a huge gap between him and the Divine Ancestor, whether in Realm, Cultivation, or strength.
Therefore, the trip to the Star Microcosm this time had greatly affected Chen Zong. The benefits it brought were also very great.
"Work hard to improve yourself. There's not much time left for such peace." The Stellar Sword Palace Master raised his hands gently. The sound of the guqin, the seemingly unorganized but not disturbing music, came to an end. The mysteries of the stars in the universe also stopped in an instant. Everything returned to its original state, to the state when Chen Zong and the Stellar Sword Palace Master had just stepped into the Stellar Microcosm.
Chen Zong didn't quite understand the Stars Sword Master's words, but he seemed to have grasped something.
Is there not much time left for peace?
Did that mean that it was going to be chaotic soon?
How could he not be calm?
This thought flashed through his mind, and it finally settled on the Immortal and Demon World.
Thinking of this, Chen Zong suddenly remembered something very important. However, because of the Vermillion Bird Holy Son and the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden's engagement, and the Sky Wind Divine Ancestor's pursuit, he had temporarily forgotten about it. In the fierce battle, Chen Zong had also temporarily forgotten about it.
Now, he suddenly remembered.
Since he remembered, Chen Zong immediately told him about it.
"The sea." The Stars Sword Master frowned. The invasion of the Immortal and Demon World was a big matter, an extremely big matter, and had to be taken very seriously. However, the sea was ultimately different from the land.
A Divine Ancestor like him wouldn't easily step into the sea. Moreover, the sea's understanding of the Immortal and Demon World was very limited.
However, this matter was very important. If the Immortal and Demon World really chose to enter the Ancient Mystic World through the sea, they would first develop in the sea. However, the sea didn't know much about the Immortal and Demon World. Moreover, the sea was much larger than the land and had many islands, so it would be even harder to find them if they hid.
In this way, the Immortal and Demon World would have the opportunity to develop in the sea and eventually threaten the entire Ancient Mystic World.
After confirming with Chen Zong again, the Stars Sword Master left with a serious expression. He had to find the Sword Masters of the other three Holy Lands to discuss this matter.
Such a big matter was no longer something that a Sword Master like him could decide.
After the Stars Sword Master left, Chen Zong temporarily settled down in the Stars Sword Palace. He was the honorary elder of the Stars Sword Palace and had his own cave abode. Yu Nianxin also had her own arrangements.
Not to mention other things, just the status of the Ancient Phoenix Mountain Goddess was not low, let alone a Pristine Saint.
The Ancient Phoenix Goddess sat together with Chen Zong and asked softly, "Can you tell me about Yu Nianxin?"
She still didn't have any memories of Yu Nianxin. However, judging from various signs, she might be Yu Nianxin, although she was now called Gu Qinghuang.
She didn't know what had happened, but it didn't stop her from being curious.
Yu Nianxin, what kind of person was he?
She asked curiously.
"Sure." Chen Zong smiled faintly and started to recount the story. He started from the first time they had met during the test to enter the White Cloud Mountain. Chen Zong's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were gentle. His tone was light and lively. A kind of beautiful feeling of being immersed in memories permeated the air and affected the Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden.
The Ancient Phoenix Divine Maiden listened quietly, and she was also drawn into those memories.
Chen Zong spoke in detail. Although it was something that happened many years ago, it still left a deep impression in Chen Zong's heart. It was like a brand.
One person spoke, and the other listened quietly. The sun rose and the moon set, and the sun set and the moon rose. This was a very long story. From the first time they met to entering White Cloud Mountain together, time after time, it slowly left a deep impression.
The void, the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, the outer universe, Taihao Mountain, and so on.
As he spoke, Chen Zong said for the first time that he wasn't from the Ancient Mystic World, but came from the outer universe.
Of course, with Chen Zong's current strength, even if everyone knew that he came from the outer universe, it wouldn't be a big deal. This wasn't a bad thing in the first place. Moreover, he had enough strength to protect himself.
This was a period of tranquility, a period of happiness.
As he talked about the past with Yu Nianxin, it was like he was constantly reminiscing. Chen Zong took out the fire element sword he got from the Divine Weapon Hall in the Poluo Sea Imperial Palace and gave it to the Ancient Phoenix Goddess. This sword had the power of a high-grade saint tool, and was very impressive.
Even in a Holy Land like Ancient Phoenix Mountain, high-grade saint tools were very precious. Moreover, Ancient Phoenix Mountain wasn't a Holy Land of the Sword, so they didn't have any high-grade saint level swords. At most, they had mid-grade swords.
In the entire land region of the Ancient Mystic World, the value of a high-grade saint tool was very shocking. The value of a top-grade saint tool was even more shocking, and there were very few of them in Holy Lands. As for supreme treasures, they were the highest level. Even Holy Lands might not have them. For example, the Vermillion Bird Holy Land's Vermillion Bird Heavenly Flame could only be considered a half-supreme treasure.
Moreover, there were high-grade or even top-grade saint tools in Holy Lands, but they might not be suitable.
The Ancient Phoenix Goddess liked this high-grade saint level sword very much. It was stronger than the mid-grade saint level sword she used, and it could increase her strength even more.
This sword was called Green Brilliance!
Every day, Chen Zong and the Ancient Phoenix Goddess spent time together. They talked about the details of Yu Nianxin, and then they sparred with each other. Chen Zong was also constantly comprehending the Prodigious Astral Ten Thousand Layers Sword Technique. This sword technique was indeed very powerful, especially after the Stars Sword Master personally demonstrated it. The inspiration it brought to Chen Zong was indescribable with words.
The Prodigious Astral Ten Thousand Layers Sword Technique improved little by little, and Chen Zong could feel that the relationship between him and the Ancient Phoenix Goddess was also constantly deepening. Chen Zong spent these days very comfortably. It was as if he had let go of all his restraints, cast away all his worries, and didn't need to experience the tribulations of life and death. It was so simple to get along with each other, and when he was in the mood, he would draw his sword and prove it with his sword.
Relaxed, unprecedentedly relaxed. The days passed quietly in this kind of relaxation. Every little bit left a deep impression, turning into an eternal memory. It was like a brand that was engraved into his bones and heart, unknowingly entering the depths of his divine sense.
This day, Chen Zong had been in the Stars Sword Palace for half a year. In this half a year, everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him. His thoughts were focused on comprehending his sword techniques, improving his cultivation level, and interacting with the Ancient Phoenix Goddess bit by bit. His sword techniques had improved significantly. However, although he had talked about Yu Nianxin, the Ancient Phoenix Goddess still couldn't remember it.
However, there was a good sign. The Ancient Phoenix Goddess seemed to be able to recall some fragmented memories, but every time she recalled something, she would feel uncomfortable.
Chen Zong also consulted the Stars Sword Master. After the Stars Sword Master checked, he came to the conclusion that her original memories had been sealed, and he couldn't break this seal.
It wasn't that it couldn't be broken, but if it was forcibly broken, it would injure her divine sense, and the consequences would be very serious.
Only the person who had placed the seal could break it. Through the aura of the seal, the Stars Sword Master came to the conclusion that the person who had placed the seal was the Ancient Phoenix Ancestor of the Ancient Phoenix Mountain.
In other words, only the Ancient Phoenix Ancestor could break it.
This was not good news. After all, Chen Zong had interacted with the power clone of the Ancient Phoenix Ancestor before. In fact, it could be said that they had fought fiercely, and in the end, he had destroyed it.
Although it was a power clone, it actually contained the intelligence and consciousness of the Ancient Phoenix Ancestor. Being so violent also meant that the Ancient Phoenix Ancestor himself was like this. Added with the fact that it was a Saint Beast, and not a human, it was completely different, and even more difficult to deal with.
Of course, no matter how difficult it was to deal with, it wasn't enough to be the reason Chen Zong didn't break the seal. However, the Ancient Phoenix Goddess also knew the temperament of the Ancient Phoenix Ancestor, so she didn't plan to go to the Ancient Phoenix Mountain now. At the very least, she had to have the strength to resist the Ancient Phoenix Ancestor.
As for asking the Stars Sword Master for help, the Stars Sword Master was very busy. He had been constantly chasing after the whereabouts of the Sea Realm's Worshipping Sect, so he didn't have the time and energy to do so. Moreover, this had nothing to do with the Stars Sword Master.
"There is another way to break the seal, and that is to break the seal on your own." This was the original words of the Stars Sword Master before he left, and it was also the method that the Ancient Phoenix Goddess wanted to try.
