Yan Mingkong, who had been under house arrest for a period of time, was calm and did not seem to be affected much.
On the contrary, from what Chen Luoyang knew, the other had focused on cultivation in such a short period of time. Not only did it not waste her willpower, but her sharpness was even sharper. Her cultivation had successfully increased to the next level, breaking through to the fifteenth realm, the level of Ruhua.
Compared to Chen Luoyang, she was naturally not as fast. But she had also broken through from the thirteenth realm to the fifteenth realm in a few months. Two consecutive leaps, in the Mortal World, was enough to attract attention.
Other than the help from the second form of the Dark Sword, according to Chen Luoyang's deduction, the other important reason was that the other had stayed at the thirteenth realm for a full seven years.
With Yan Mingkong's past achievements and her talent, as well as the help from the first form of the Dark Sword, it seemed strange that she had been stuck at the thirteenth realm.
Maybe it was because of the battle with Chen Luoyang at that time, which forced her to be patient and continuously train herself.
To a certain extent, she could be considered to have succeeded.
At the thirteenth realm, her strength was even stronger than the Hierarch of Devil Religion at the same realm.
If Chen Luoyang had not crossed over, then Yan Mingkong, who had broken through to the fourteenth realm, would have been above the Hierarch of Devil Religion at the same realm.
On one hand, the Dark Sword Art was too extraordinary, far better than the Heavenly Demon Blood.
On the other hand, Yan Mingkong's own accumulation was really rich.
Thus, with a good accumulation, she would transform into a dragon when there was a storm.
After learning the second form of the Dark Sword, as her cultivation deepened, she crossed the fourteenth realm in a short period of time and broke through to the fifteenth realm.
However, after crossing two realms, her momentum would naturally slow down.
If she did not have more fortuitous encounters and more resources like Chen Luoyang, it would be very difficult for her to improve in a short period of time.
Even if the overall cultivation environment of the Mortal World was better than that of the Divine Land.
But from the fifteenth realm to the sixteenth realm was the progress from Emperor Wu to the Martial Saint. Becoming a Martial Saint immediately meant a huge moat that many geniuses were stuck.
Not to mention those outside of the Sacred Lands, many of the Sacred Lands' direct disciples were stuck below the Martial Sage Realm.
Yan Mingkong had been active in the Mortal World for some time, so he had some understanding of the situation.
However, she was determined and stubborn, and was not discouraged in the slightest.
At this time, the white-robed woman was still calm and composed even after being pulled under the dark starry sky.
That deep and majestic mysterious voice sounded, "It seems that you have reprepared yourself."
"Yes." Yan Mingkong replied in Silence.
The previous trial for her was to place her in an environment full of enemies. She had to persevere for three days while she fought her way out of the encirclement, leaving her life to fate.
At that time, several magnates came to the Divine Land to find trouble with Chen Luoyang because of the "Life" Heavenly Book.
In order to divert the attention of the Sky River Sword Immortal and Patriarch Blood River, Chen Luoyang threw Yan Mingkong into the mortal world.
The two giants did not give in to each other. They restrained each other so that Yan Mingkong would not immediately fall into a dead end.
However, she still had to face the many experts from the Sky River Family and the Blood River Family.
It was not easy for her to survive.
However, when the Sky River Sword Immortal battled with Heavenly Demon Ye in Zhengyang City, the capital of the Western Qin Dynasty, Patriarch Blood River retreated and took the opportunity to find Yan Mingkong.
This almost put Yan Mingkong in a dead end.
No matter how calm and decisive she was, it was impossible for her to face a giant alone.
That was called seeking death, not training.
Therefore, although he did not say it explicitly, the missions that Chen Luoyang gave Han Mei, Yan Mingkong, Zhao Rimian, and the others basically had an unspoken bottom line.
Even if they faced a giant level expert, they would not be punished for giving up the mission.
Otherwise, it would not be forcing them to do it, but forcing them to die. It would be better to do it himself.
In fact, in Chen Luoyang's own bottom line, he would also give Yan Mingkong and the others a helping hand when facing a peak Martial Sage of the 18th level or even the Ten Heroes of the Mortal World who were comparable to experts of the 18th level.
However, this kind of thing was only known to himself.
Under normal circumstances, he would not give those people such an inhumane mission, mainly in case of unexpected accidents.
The only special case was Yan Mingkong. Because she had a special function, she was miserably tricked by him.
On the other hand, she was the only one who received the special care and attention.
In Zhengyang City, Patriarch Blood River left to look for Yan Mingkong in person.
At that time, the three days were not up yet, but Chen Luoyang decisively stopped Yan Mingkong's training and took her away, leaving Patriarch Blood River in vain.
In this case, Yan Mingkong's training was not considered a failure.
Of course, there was no reward.
Yan Mingkong was well aware of this, so she did not object. At this moment, she was calmly waiting for the next test.
"Your fourth test is to go to the south of the Yongyue Mountain, east of the Qianli Peak, to find Leng Ji, the deputy general of the Northern Guards of the Western Qin Dynasty, and send him to the Cloud Lake in the Northern Border." Under the dark starry sky, the deep and mysterious voice echoed, "There is a Taoist named Banhai there. You just need to send Leng Ji to him."
After that, a light and shadow image appeared in front of Yan Mingkong, in which there was a middle-aged Taoist with a three-foot black beard and sloppy clothes, but he had a natural charm, which made people admire him.
Yan Mingkong knew that was the Taoist Banhai mentioned.
She calmly memorized the image of the Taoist, and a trace of ice blue flashed in her eyes. She said, "May I ask you two questions?"
"Go ahead." Chen Luoyang said.
Yan Mingkong asked, "If he doesn't go with me, can I hurt him?"
"Yes, as long as you can do it." Chen Luoyang answered, "But you can't hurt his life."
Yan Mingkong nodded and continued to ask, "Is there anyone who has the same mission as me?"
"No." Chen Luoyang said, "On the contrary, some people will stop you and try to rob your target, such as the Western Qin and the Bitter Sea."
Yan Mingkong didn't show any fear. On the contrary, when she heard the word "Bitter Sea", her eyes flashed with ice blue light again.
"I have no more questions. I can set off at any time." She said in Silence.
That deep and majestic voice sounded, "Now, you can set off. The time limit is one month."
"Yes." Yan Mingkong answered.
Then the scene in front of her changed. The next moment, she had returned to the secular world that she hadn't seen for a long time.
Yan Mingkong looked around. This was not the place where she left the secular world. She had landed somewhere else.
She restrained her sharpness and first inquired about the news to determine where she was.
Chen Luoyang didn't worry about her situation.
The Female Monarch in the Divine Land was not only good at killing.
When she was a teenager, she left the Holy Land of the Ancient God and entered the secular world. She became a famous female demon of the Devil religion in the Divine Land. She wandered in Jianghu and had rich experience.
It was not until she became Emperor Wu and returned to the sect to take the position of the chief monk of the Rosefinch Hall, that she lived in seclusion and gradually wandered in Jianghu.
If Yan Mingkong had not been so experienced, how could he have lasted for so long when he had just arrived in the Mortal World, alone with a sword, unfamiliar with the people and the place, and facing the encirclement of experts from different Holy Lands?
At present, Ancestor Blood River had died in the secular world. Most of the blood river lineage had retreated to the Blood Sea and disappeared in the secular world.
The Old Sword Immortal of the Sky River was seriously injured. The Sky River lineage also suffered a lot of casualties. There were also hidden troubles inside. It was hard to deal with other things in a short time.
For Yan Mingkong, she didn't need to worry about the two most obvious threats for the time being.
Of course, she didn't have to worry about them.
Disciples of the Bitter Sea and the Ultimate Blackwater Palace were both killed by her.
On this trip to escort Leng Ji, she would have to face the descendants of the Devil Buddha from the Bitter Sea lineage.
Although the address that Chen Luoyang gave Yan Mingkong was more detailed, which made it easier for her to find Leng Ji, it was still a big test to break through the encirclement and reach their destination Cloud Lake.
After all, Yan Mingkong and Leng Ji hadn't broken through to the Martial Saint Realm.
And how Yan Mingkong was going to convince Leng Ji to go with her might be an even more difficult problem.
As for the Cloud Lake, it was actually close to the territory of the Ultimate Blackwater Palace.
Yan Mingkong had killed disciples of the Ultimate Blackwater Palace before. This was another test for her.
However, this test wasn't just for her.
Chen Luoyang wanted to test another person.
The old palace master of the Ultimate Blackwater Palace, the "Devil Queen" Ji Tianqiong, had been restored.
Chen Luoyang was very interested. If Yan Mingkong fell into the hands of the Ultimate Blackwater Palace, how would the Devil Queen deal with her?
As far as he knew, when they were in the Divine Land, Yan Mingkong and Chen Chuhua had a pretty good relationship.
Although one was the backbone of the senior officials, and the other was the backbone of the young and vigorous faction, they had a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Although they often quarreled in public affairs, it didn't affect their personal relationship.
"If Chen Chuhua really has something to do with the Devil Queen, will he reveal more clues about Yan Mingkong?"
"Before I deal with the Devil Queen, maybe I can let Yan Mingkong explore the water first …" Chen Luoyang thought.
As for Taoist Banhai, who was waiting at the Cloud Lake, it was naturally Chen Luoyang who dealt with him with the help of the "Illusion" Heavenly Book and the treasure of the Tusita Heavenly Net of the Green Bull Temple.
He never intended to hand Leng Ji over to the Western Qin or the Misery Sea so easily.
Of course, the two forces were powerful, and they had more than one or two experts in the Martial Saint Realm.
It was not easy to fish in troubled waters.
In particular, Hierarch Chen himself would spend more time on self-cultivation and digesting what he had learned.
On the surface, he wanted to stay out of the game of the Western Qin.
The Misery Sea was a good dog. He didn't say that he would take care of them, but at least he wouldn't directly undermine them.
But in private, there was still room for maneuver.
After seeing Yan Mingkong off, Chen Luoyang touched another star.
Then, a woman in red appeared under the dark starry sky.
Han Mei greeted her with a sheepish smile, "Senior."
Her heart was beating fast.
Last time, the man teleported a giant like the Lord of Azure Dragon Island, so she was almost sure that the mysterious expert was the supreme master who dominated the mortal world.
At the moment, she couldn't bring herself to resist at all. She could only go with the flow.
But last time, the man said that there would be punishment along with the fourth test …
