Xuanyuan Po was still weak, even weaker than when he was washing dishes in the capital, but he was still alive.
Moreover, his body was now filled with an extremely majestic Spiritual Essence and an incomparably terrifying divine aura.
All of this came from Wuqiong Bi's finger.
As long as he had enough time, he would be able to convert all the True Essence into his own and comprehend the laws and principles of heaven and earth represented by the sacred aura.
At that time, he would become a true expert.
In a sense, Xuanyuan Po's fortuitous encounter this time was really rare, even in the entire history of the cultivation world.
However, he did not rejoice because of this. Instead, he felt a little down.
"Two days ago, Senior taught me something very important, but I didn't manage to learn it completely. In the end, I still lost."
Xuanyuan Po lowered his head and said, "Am I very useless?"
"Losing to a person like the Demon Lord isn't shameful. Moreover, you've succeeded in forcing them to move the transactions under the table onto the table. This is very important."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "As for the things senior taught you, you still have a long time to learn them. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me."
Xuanyuan Po was somewhat puzzled and said, "Ask you?"
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Before the senior left, he taught me a set of fist arts and indicated that it was for you."
Xuanyuan Po was somewhat sad. Looking at the slightly raised ground in the courtyard, he was silent for a long time before he said, "I will study hard."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "Senior and his wife's inheritance is now with you. In the future, if you have the chance, you should go to the Ten Thousand Years Pavilion and take a look."
Xuanyuan Po said, "I will go as soon as possible."
Chen Chang Sheng stood up and raised his right hand.
Xuanyuan Po bowed his head.
Chen Chang Sheng patted his shoulder, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
He did not return to the Great Daoist Church of the Western Wasteland to rest. Instead, he went directly to the Imperial City. After saying a few somewhat sentimental words to Luoluo, he walked into that great and secret passage.
As he walked out of the passageway, the snowy mountain once again came into view. However, the night was still dark and the morning light had not yet arrived. The towering mountain covered half of the starry sky, making it look like a falling star.
Arriving at the black cliff on the other side of the lake, Jin Yu Lu came up and asked, "What happened?"
This place was far from White Emperor City, but they could still sense the activity of the morning.
Chen Chang Sheng said it.
The bottom of the black cliff became extremely quiet.
Xiao De gazed at Chen Changsheng with a complicated expression.
Two human experts of the Divine Domain had died in White Emperor City. This would assuredly have a massive effect on their relationship with the demi-humans.
Xiao De did not know what sort of stance Chen Changsheng would adopt in the ensuing turmoil, so he was rather wary and uneasy.
Between Chen Chang Sheng's eyebrows, one could faintly see some tiredness, but there was no anger, nor was there any hostility. It was as if he wasn't affected by this matter at all.
He asked, "Any progress?"
Jin Yu Lu shook his head and said, "Even your sword can't cut it open, there's nothing we can do."
Xiaode suddenly said, "I've thought of a way to break the array, but I don't know if it's possible."
Chen Chang Sheng and Jin Yu Lu looked at him.
As a true expert ranked second on the Proclamation of Liberation and also the supreme expert of the middle generation of the Demi-human race, Xiao De naturally had vast experience.
Since it was his idea to break the formation, it must be logical, therefore Chen Chang Sheng and Jin Yu Lu listened attentively and seriously.
"The Star Stone is the array pivot, and this restriction is a complete array. Since it's an array, it's hard to suppress it with force. Why not break it with array formations?"
Xiao De's expression was very calm. No one could tell that he was nervous.
Even now, he still did not know who had written that slip of paper, whether that person had evil intentions or good intentions.
After hearing this, Jin Yu Lu thought for a few moments, then shook his head. "Using an array to break an array seems reasonable, but arrays have always been defensive, so they lack sharpness."
Chen Chang Sheng was also considering Xiao De's suggestion. Although he knew a few sword arrays, they were far from being able to compare to the sealing array that had imprisoned the White Emperor.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a very familiar word.
Xiao De asked, "What if it's a sword array?"
Jin Yu Lu froze at these words, but the more he thought, the more he felt that it was feasible. He excitedly said, "Correct, the sword array of South Stream Temple!"
He turned to Chen Chang Sheng and said, "I'll have to trouble Sir with this matter."
Xiao De also looked at Chen Chang Sheng.
The entire continent knew of the relationship between Chen Chang Sheng and Holy Maiden Xu You Rong, so it should be very easy to invite the disciples of South Stream Temple.
"There's no need to go to so much trouble."
Chen Chang Sheng's Daoist sleeve shook, and several hundred swords flew out of their sheaths like streams. They howled through the air, taking their respective positions as they quietly hovered in the night sky.
At this sight, Jin Yulu and Xiao De both paled.
They had not participated in the Heavenly Selection ceremony and had not seen Chen Chang Sheng's battle with the Demon Lord, so this was their first time seeing this sight.
These swords were not completely the same as the sword style of the legends, and they were even more different from the swords Xiao De had seen in the alley of the Northern Military Department. If they had only seen this storm of swords, they would have found it very difficult to guess the name of this sword style, but when they thought of the conversation they had just heard, a guess very naturally appeared in their minds.
Xiao De asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "This is … the sword array of South Stream Temple?"
Chen Chang Sheng grunted in affirmation.
Jin Yu Lu ruefully shook his head, gratified and sentimental. He was like an old wave resting on the beach, unwilling to rise again.
Xiao De's expression chilled, and he said no more. He was like an iron tree that was too shy to bloom again.
In the past, he had always believed that his cultivation level was higher than Chen Chang Sheng's, that his talent was no less. He had been unable to defeat Chen Chang Sheng because Su Li had passed on a sword style to him, but also because of Chen Chang Sheng's fortuitous encounter in the Garden of Zhou. To put it another way, this was not the fault of battle. It was just that Chen Chang Sheng's luck, or rather, his opportunities, far surpassed his own. But now, as he gazed at the storm of swords in the darkness, sensed the awe-inspiring sword intents and the connection between them, as well as the hidden array intent, he could no longer say such words.
In just a few short years, Chen Chang Sheng's cultivation in the path of the sword had actually grown so powerful. Just how had he done it?
Was it because the Pope could obtain the support of the entire Orthodoxy, or was it because of that simplest and crudest reason?
Was he just such a genius?
… …
… …
Knowing what to do did not mean that he knew how to do it.
As for how to use the South Stream Temple sword array to break the sealing array in the black cliff, Chen Changsheng needed an hour just to find the way.
Countless awe-inspiring sword intents swept across the surface of the lake, gathering the freshest and even somewhat chilly Qi in the world, and then slashing at the invisible array intent surrounding the black cliff.
Under the pressure of the sword array, the sealing array hidden in the snowy mountain gradually revealed its true form.
In the depths of the mist, one could faintly make out the projection of the Starstone wall, blocking the path ahead.
As time passed, the range of the sealing array grew clearer and clearer. It far surpassed the range of the snowy peak and the black cliff, covering a radius of ten-some li.
There were even several swords within the sword array that had left the ground and were flying up into the snowy mountain. Could that place still be within the sealing array? (To be continued.)
