After passing the first test, Qin Xiao's confidence improved a lot, and his strength increased a little.
Qin Xiao was not afraid of difficult challenges, and now he was even more calm.
Qin Xiao continued to move forward. After more than three months, a sword forest appeared at two-thirds of the height of the giant peak.
Tens of thousands of swords were inserted into the ground. There were all kinds of swords, and no two of them were exactly the same.
There were slender swords, giant swords, heavy swords, stone swords, broken swords … They were in different shapes.
Some swords were stained with blood. Some of the swords were stained with rust. It was unknown how old they were.
The tens of thousands of swords also caused the atmosphere here to become austere and bleak.
There was Sword Qi, but the Sword Qi was not strong. The sword wind was slight, and it would not cause any harm to Qin Xiao.
"The second test is here. According to the situation, there should be three tests."
Qin Xiao pondered in his heart as he carefully observed his surroundings. He fearlessly entered the forest of swords.
Since it was a test, there was no need to hide. He should face it with a high fighting spirit.
"Hmm?"
"There is Sword Qi. What a strong Sword Qi!"
Qin Xiao's brows suddenly furrowed as he sensed a powerful sword Qi suddenly appear.
Qin Xiao quickly looked for the source of the strong Sword Qi, but the Sword Qi seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with him. Qin Xiao looked for it several times, but he could not find it.
It was not until the third time that Qin Xiao finally saw the source of the strong Sword Qi.
Standing on a giant sword, he stood there quietly in the air. His long cloak fluttered in the wind and flew high up in the air, making him look very majestic. Holding a sword, he stood there with his back to Qin Xiao. He was quite powerful.
But —
How could the person in front of him, who was emitting strong Sword Qi, be so small? He was only a little more than one meter tall. He looked like a child of three or four years old.
"Is it possible that everyone here is so short?"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but think that this was what she had seen along the way.
It was indeed a little strange. Were they all from the same race?
However, Qin Xiao wasn't in the mood to think too much about it. His task now was to face the second test.
There were Guardians in the first level, and it wasn't surprising that there were Guardians in this level.
However, this protector probably wouldn't get involved. Therefore, no matter how strong the protector was, it didn't matter. It wouldn't affect Qin Xiao at all.
Qin Xiao looked at his back and thought that the second test might have something to do with swords.
There seemed to be a formation here. Could it be a sword formation?
The Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Formation was actually a trap formation. It didn't have any offensive power, so staying in the formation was actually very safe. It wasn't dangerous at all.
But if it was a sword formation, then it was different. Sword formations were mainly offensive formations. Therefore, it was definitely not safe to enter the sword formation. It was impossible to slowly comprehend the formation and break it like before.
Entering the sword formation was like entering a dangerous place. Once the sword formation was activated, it would definitely launch an attack.
Therefore, the second test was obviously much more dangerous than the first test.
This made Qin Xiao couldn't help but cheer up. He had to go all out.
"Kid, for you to be able to come to This Sword Immortal means that you are quite capable."
"But — no matter how capable you are, you can't pass me."
"My sword will let you know how to write the word 'death'. Hehehe, boy, are you starting to be afraid? "
"Oh, haha, if you're afraid, boy, you can beg me. Maybe I'll go easy on you. Otherwise, you will soon die under this sword immortal's sword. "
The Sword Immortal from the back suddenly said coldly. His voice was filled with killing intent, and it was not cold at all.
This tone of voice … Why does it feel so familiar?
"Your Majesty?"
Qin Xiao frowned. He couldn't help but have a thought.
He couldn't see his face clearly. The voice was different, but the tone was very familiar.
The gatekeeper of the first test was the King in disguise. Therefore, Qin Xiao couldn't help but wonder if the back figure in front of him was also the King in disguise.
Qin Xiao tried to sense the aura, but the strong Sword Qi lingered around the figure, so Qin Xiao couldn't sense the other's aura at all.
Even so, Qin Xiao still felt that the back figure should be the King.
Therefore, Qin Xiao directly said, "Your Majesty, you'd better tell me directly. Let's start the second test."
"Eh, I've been discovered? That's impossible. Is this King's disguise technique that bad? "
The back figure spat and then turned around. Who else could it be but the King?
However, after dressing up, he looked more like a swordsman. He gave off a mighty feeling.
"Hahaha, Qin Xiao boy, it's me again. Are you surprised? Are you pleasantly surprised? "The King smiled and said to Qin Xiao.
Surprised, my ass.
Surprised? It was almost a shock.
"Hey, hey, hey, Qin Xiao boy, what's with your expression? Can't you give me some face? After all, I've helped you a lot. "The King looked at Qin Xiao unhappily.
"Oh, I'm surprised," Qin Xiao replied casually.
"Really?!" The King rolled his eyes at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao didn't care anymore. Anyway, no matter what he did, the King would definitely be dissatisfied. Unless he was as good as the King.
Anyway, Qin Xiao really couldn't cooperate with the King's personality.
Even if he cooperated against his will, the King would still be unhappy.
"Qin Xiao boy, you saw the Sword Forest in front of you. Under the Sword Forest is a Ten Thousand Swords Formation. Hehehe, although the Ten Thousand Swords Formation is also a low-grade formation, its power is top-notch among low-grade formations. Most second-step Heavenly Venerables will die in this formation. "
"Qin Xiao boy, you should be clear of your strength. Once the Ten Thousand Swords Formation is activated, you definitely won't be able to escape."
"I'll give you ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, the Ten Thousand Swords Formation will be activated. When the time comes, hehehe, I'll be waiting to collect your corpse. "
This time, the King went straight to the point. However, Qin Xiao felt that it was full of malice.
It seemed that the King was a very vengeful person.
The situation described by the King was similar to what Qin Xiao had imagined. Qin Xiao also guessed that this was a sword-type formation. A formation that focused on attacking would definitely be very terrifying.
The truth was indeed so. Qin Xiao believed that the King wouldn't lie to him.
Therefore, according to the King, his only way out was to figure out a way to break the Ten Thousand Swords Formation in these ten thousand years. Only in this way could he possibly leave the Ten Thousand Swords Formation alive when it was activated.
If he fought recklessly, he would obviously die. There was no doubt about this. Qin Xiao didn't doubt it at all.
Therefore, the only way to survive was to break the formation.
Ten thousand years was two thousand years more than the first stage. However, the time was still very short.
For most people, it should be an impossible task.
However, Qin Xiao had to complete it. Otherwise, he would die.
Since that was the case, he would start to challenge the impossible.
Turning the impossible into a possibility was a very fulfilling thing.
Qin Xiao looked at the swords around him seriously. The way to break the formation must be among these swords. Therefore, he had to find the way to break the formation from these swords first. Then, he could study and cultivate.
The King continued to lie on the side and drink wine. He seemed to be very comfortable. "The Ten Thousand Swords Formation. Back then, it took me nearly a million years to fully comprehend this Ten Thousand Swords Formation. Qin Xiao, this kid, only has ten thousand years. Can he really comprehend it? Although he doesn't need to reach the level of complete control, he should at least be able to understand it and know how to break the formation.
Okay. "
"It's not an easy task to reach this step."
"Although there are many clues and revelations in the Sword Forest, he still needs to comprehend them himself. Without the guidance of an expert, it's too difficult to comprehend all by himself. "
"If such a test had been placed on me back then, I'm afraid I would have failed."
"This kid, I kind of sympathize with him. Of all places, he had to break into our Peach Blossom Valley. This is fate. "
"Alas, forget it. I hope this kid can create a miracle like he did in the first stage. "
…
In a courtyard in the nominal disciple area of the Fu Da Immortal Palace.
In the gazebo, the two of them sat there, drinking wine unhappily.
No matter how delicious the wine was, it tasted like horse urine in their mouths. It was hard to swallow.
"Fatty Cai, it's been tens of thousands of years. Is there still no definite news about brother Qin Xiao?" Xiao Dao asked.
Over the years, Xiao Dao didn't have much time to cultivate. He was always worried about Qin Xiao, so he asked Fatty Cai from time to time.
His sister also went to the Nightmare Fire Field to save brother Qin Xiao. How could Xiao Dao feel at ease when two of his closest relatives went to the Nightmare Fire Field?
Fatty Cai understood Xiao Dao's feelings very well. He patted Xiao Dao's shoulder and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry. I've been trying my best to inquire about Qin Xiao."
"You don't have to worry about your sister. After all, Princess Xiaoyu is the disciple of the Palace Master. She must have some means to protect herself. Besides, the Palace Master won't let anything happen to Princess Xiaoyu. "
"If there is any danger, I believe the Palace Master will definitely help."
"As for Qin Xiao, the news I've received is indeed not good news."
After saying that, Fatty Cai shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Dao's fingers were almost digging into his flesh. He said in a trembling voice, "Fatty Cai, did brother Qin Xiao really enter the Central Area of the Nightmare Fire Field? But how could this be? If he entered the Inner Area of the Nightmare Fire Field, it would be normal. But how could he enter the Central Area of the Nightmare Fire Field? "
"How could he go through the Inner Area and enter the Central Area?"
"Fatty Cai, did you really figure it out? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Fatty Cai sighed and said, "I also hope I made a mistake. When I got this information, I couldn't believe it. It took me a long time to confirm it."
"I also asked my father. He also said it was possible."
"This information shouldn't be fake. Although I don't know how it happened, it's the truth. So, we can only believe it. "
Xiao Dao also knew that since Fatty Cai said so, it shouldn't be wrong.
It was just that this situation was really hard for him to accept.
He knew how terrible the Central Area of the Nightmare Fire Field was. Entering that place would mean certain death.
Even Superior Immortals didn't dare to enter it easily.
