Chapter 245: After one wave, another wave arises

"That group of half-dead old guys forced you to acquire their cultivation? Why? Because they felt the Haoran sword energy?" Gongsun Ce continued to ask in voice transmission.

"That's right." Ye Hongyu admitted openly, "The seniors felt the existence of the Haoran sword energy, so they handed everything over to me.

As a price, I must kill Ke Haoran's successor and end his inheritance!"

"Interesting. So you came to keep the appointment? Aren't you afraid of being killed by me?" Gongsun Ce looked at Ye Hongyu with interest for a day, and then transmitted the message.

"My predecessors forced me to swear an oath in front of Haotian, and I had to abide by it." Ye Hongyu said with a bit of helplessness on her face.

If possible, Ye Hongyu did not want to be an enemy of Gongsun Ce. The scene in which Bear Haunted used his Apocalypse realm to borrow power from Haotian but was beheaded by Gongsun Ce with one sword was still vivid in her mind.

Ye Hongyu boasted that her current strength was not above that of Boonie Bears.

After all, Xiong Chuanluan was in Taoshan, the place closest to Haotian at that time. He borrowed strength from Haotian. Even if Xiong Chuanluan was only at the sixth level of the Apocalypse Realm, it was enough to exert a strength comparable to the seventh level.

Gongsun Ce nodded in approval.

"Mr. Gongsun, I, Ye Hongyu, came here today just to fight you. I hope you will show mercy."

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly and said in a voice transmission: "I'll try my best."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Hongyu took the lead. She took a deep breath, moved her body, and a chill burst out from her body.

This cold air is different from ordinary icy air. It carries an aura that can destroy all Taoist magic powers, as if it can freeze everything in the world.

The invisible and intangible cold air quickly spread and rushed towards Gongsun Ce.

When the cold air passes, the grass and trees do not form frost, but they become inexplicably withered and yellow.

The deep pool did not freeze, but it inexplicably stopped flowing, which made the already calm deep pool even calmer, like a pool of stagnant water.

Gongsun Ce felt the power of this cold air and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Even if Ye Hongyu has reached the state of nirvana by absorbing the cultivation of others, he should not be underestimated.

Gongsun Ce moved his body and also released a chill from the state of annihilation.

His coldness was different from Ye Hongyu's. Ye Hongyu's coldness carried a bit of helplessness and sadness, while Gongsun Ce's coldness carried a bit of calmness.

The two cold airs met in the air silently, but caused Liu Bai, who was watching the battle, to unconsciously take a few steps back.

As a swordsman, Liu Bai has a strong intuition, and his intuition tells him that the fight between the two is very unusual.

"Click."

Liu Bai retreated to the shore and accidentally stepped on a withered yellow grass. Only then did he realize that although the fight between the two men was silent, it did affect the surroundings.

The cold air intertwined to form a strange area. In this area, everything became slow and heavy, as if time had been frozen.

Gongsun Ce and Ye Hongyu stood at one end of the territory respectively. Ye Hongyu stared at Gongsun Ce to guard against any sudden attack from him.

Gongsun Ce looked at Ye Hongyu with interest. The red dress was indeed eye-catching.

Ye Hongyu noticed the scrutiny in Gongsun Ce's eyes, and her face turned slightly red, not because of shyness but because of annoyance.

Ye Hongyu hates men because of some traumatic events that happened to her when she was a child that she still cannot forget. That's why she pursues powerful strength.

Because of the trauma of the soul, I want to arm myself and make myself stronger.

This matter started with Boonie Bears. When Boonie Bears was young, Yu Lian, who was still Lin Wu, abolished the Qi Hai Xue Shan on his lower abdomen with one move. In other words, it was physical castration.

In addition, Xiong Chuyou was not tall, so he was particularly inferior, so he kidnapped Ye Hongyu when she was young...

Gongsun Ce was also a little curious. What did the eunuch Xiong Chuhou do to Ye Hongyu?
Gongsun Ce's mind was a little distracted. Although Ye Hongyu didn't know what Gongsun Ce was thinking about, she knew that this was a good time to attack.

She took a deep breath, mobilized all the mental power in her body, and injected the energy of heaven and earth into the cold air.

Suddenly, her coldness became more violent and fierce, as if it was going to devour everything.

However, Gongsun Ce's coldness remained as steady as a rock and was not affected at all.

After experiencing the futile effect of the cold air, Ye Hongyu finally drew out the fiery red dagger in her hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Gongsun Ce.

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly at this moment, opened the boundless state and began to mobilize the power of the earth to strengthen his own defense.

When he felt the sharp momentum on the tip of Ye Hongyu's sword, he slowly opened his eyes, and a barely perceptible ripple was revealed in his deep eyes.

Ye Hongyu no longer hesitated. She moved and turned into a red lightning and rushed towards Gongsun Ce.

The tip of her sword, with a sound of breaking through the air, went straight to Gongsun Ce's throat.

However, just as the tip of the sword was about to touch Gongsun Ce's skin, a strange force emanated from Gongsun Ce's body.

It was a bright light, as if the power of the earth was mobilized by Gongsun Ce to form an indestructible defense.

With a loud "bang", the tip of Ye Hongyu's sword collided with Gongsun Ce's skin.

However, shockingly, the tip of Ye Hongyu's sword was unable to pierce Gongsun Ce's skin defense.

Her sword trembled violently, as if it encountered an insurmountable barrier.

Ye Hongyu gritted her teeth unwillingly, she knew she couldn't give up so easily.

So, she swung her sword again to attack Gongsun Ce. This time, her attack was even more fierce, and the sword turned into afterimages, constantly attacking Gongsun Ce in all directions.

"Dang, dang, dang!" The crisp sounds of metal collision came one after another. Ye Hongyu's sword kept making harsh sounds as it collided with Gongsun Ce's skin.

However, no matter how hard she tried, her sword could not penetrate Gongsun Ce's defense.

On the contrary, her sword blade gradually bent as it collided with Gongsun Ce's skin.

Ye Hongyu's expression became more and more solemn. She knew that she was in trouble.

However, she had no intention of giving up. She took a deep breath, mobilized all the mental power in her body, and injected it into the sword, preparing to launch the final attack.

However, just as she was about to launch an attack, Gongsun Ce suddenly sent a voice message: "Xiao Yu'er, if you continue to attack like this, your sword will probably break."

Ye Hongyu was stunned when she heard this. She looked down and found that the blade of her sword had indeed become noticeably bent.

She was startled and knew she could no longer continue attacking like this.

She put away her sword and looked at Gongsun Ce deeply.

She knew that she had already lost. She bowed deeply to Gongsun Ce and said, "Mr. Gongsun is indeed unfathomable. Hongyu admires you very much.

But I cannot break my oath. After I break through, I will continue to learn from Master Gongsun."

After saying this, Ye Hongyu removed the chill of the state of nirvana and turned to leave.

Looking at Ye Hongyu's leaving back, Gongsun Ce smiled and shook his head. He was not the descendant of Ke Haoran, so it didn't matter whether Ye Hongyu kept her oath or not.

However, Gongsun Ce did not intend to tell Ye Hongyu the truth. Ye Hongyu's challenge was a good change for Gongsun Ce.

Liu Bai looked at Gongsun Ce and Ye Hongyu with a playful look on his face. He always felt that there was something going on between the two of them. But if Gongsun Ce didn't say anything, he would be too embarrassed to ask directly.

Gongsun Ce glanced at Liu Bai, then left Nanjin Jiange without saying a word.

The battle with Liu Bai is over, and it is time for him to return to the academy and comprehend the subsequent realm.

Just after Gongsun Ce returned to the academy, he heard a piece of news that surprised him: the teacher was about to go on a trip.

This means that Ning Que has arrived in Chang'an and the Master's plan is about to begin.

However, Gongsun Ce did not understand, since he was already here and had his help, why did the Master still want to start his established plan.

So Gongsun Ce found the Master and discovered that Li Manman was helping him pack his bags.

"My young friend, I am about to go out to look for the drunkard and the butcher who survived the last Eternal Night. Are you interested in joining me?" The Master smiled and waved to Gongsun Ce.

"Master, why are you looking for these two people? Don't you have the confidence to face Haotian directly now?" Gongsun Ce transmitted the message.

"Of course not." The Master smiled and shook his head, "It's just that I don't want to see someone for the time being. And since you have chosen to help me, I will naturally prepare a great gift for you."

"A great gift?" Gongsun Ce was a little puzzled.

"The Buddha's chessboard is made of special materials. The only thing in the world that is made of the same material is the butcher's knife. The butcher's realm is close to immortality. If you want to break through to the immortal realm, you also need the butcher as a basis."

Gongsun Ce nodded after hearing what the Master said. Even if he got the Buddha's chessboard, Gongsun Ce would not be able to use it right away.

But the butcher's knife is different, because it is just a knife. Apart from the special material that makes it extremely heavy, there is nothing special about it. Once Gongsun Ce obtains the butcher's knife, he can melt it immediately.

Maybe Gongsun Ce can directly forge space equipment.

The seventh realm of immortality, which represents the Demon Sect, is the only seventh realm among the known seventh realms in the Ever Night world that can resist the Haotian Time Law.

The purity of the eighth realm and the lawlessness of the ninth realm can indeed ignore Haotian's time law, but that is due to the high realm. The immortal realm can resist the time law relying entirely on personal physique.

Gongsun Ce, who had cultivated to the sixth level of the Demon Sect, the Heavenly Demon Realm, felt that he could ignore the small strong winds on the road in the starry sky.

But I dare not say that I can resist Haotian's time law 100%.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce was indeed very interested in the immortal realm.

"Okay, let's go."

So not long after Gongsun Ce returned to the academy, he set out on a journey again with his teacher.

Soon, Li Manman helped the teacher pack his luggage.

Then, Li Manman, as the coachman, drove the ox cart out of the back mountain of the academy and came to the entrance of the academy.

Gongsun Ce and the Master sat on the ox cart, quietly waiting for the carriage to leave the academy. At this moment, the ox cart suddenly stopped, and Gongsun Ce also sensed the presence of Ning Que and Sang Sang in front of the ox cart.

Li Manman stopped the ox cart and stopped Ning Que. Ning Que was a little surprised when he saw Li Manman suddenly appearing in front of him.

Li Manman said to Ning Que, "Little brother, I think the big black umbrella behind you is very nice. Do you want to exchange it with me? The book hanging on my waist is a rare treasure in the world."

Ning Que looked at the book with yellowed pages hanging on Li Manman's waist and frowned unconsciously. If this book was some extraordinary cultivation method, he could just change it.

However, Ning Que looked at Li Manman's rather shabby outfit and for a moment he was unsure what the book was.

I have to say that Li Manman's image is very deceptive. Li Manman's hair is messy and his beard is untidy. His clothes seem to have a lot of burrs, serious pilling, and patches.

In addition, Li Manman had no accessories on his body except for the gourd hanging on his waist and the Ming scroll of heavenly book.

If Li Manman was not famous as the Master's chief disciple, no one would think that Li Manman was a master at the Wuju realm.

With only a bowl of rice, a bowl of bean soup, and a gourd of water, he lived in a humble alley. People could not bear the worry, but Hui did not change his joy. How virtuous Hui was.

This is Confucius' evaluation of Yan Hui. The image of Li Manman is derived from Yan Hui but strengthened, so Li Manman is somewhat unkempt.

"No, this big black umbrella is very important to me. I won't trade it with you."

Ning Que hesitated for a moment and rejected Li Manman's request for exchange.

At this time, Gongsun Ce sent a voice message to Ning Que with great interest: "I wonder if I can exchange my flying sword for this big black umbrella?"

Gongsun Ce did not leave the ox cart, but stretched his right hand out of the cart, and a box was placed on his right hand.

Then, the box opened automatically, and seven small flying swords slightly longer than toothpicks flew out of the box and flew around the box.

These are seven small flying swords made from the remaining scraps from the recast Tianwen Sword, because those scraps are not enough to build larger flying swords.

"Changhong, Bingpo, Yuhua, Ziyun, Benlei, Qingguang, and Xuanfeng." The sharp-eyed Ning Que saw the names of the seven small flying swords and read them out loud unconsciously.

Then, Ning Que's mouth twitched. This kind of name was obviously from watching too many cartoons.

"No change."

Ning Que was determined, so Gongsun Ce took back his flying sword, and Li Manman urged the old ox to leave the entrance of the academy.

"Fuck! My thigh is gone!"

After the ox cart went far away, Ning Que realized belatedly that he might have missed a big guy who was also a time traveler.

However, it was too late for Ning Que to regret, because the ox cart had already gone out of Ning Que's sight, and Ning Que still had to go to school.

Ning Que could only enter the academy with regret and start studying.

Gongsun Ce's bad taste made the teacher on the ox cart smile unconsciously and said: "My friend, this is a bit unkind."

"I didn't force anyone to buy or sell anything, and I didn't induce Ning Que to consume. How can you say that it's not fair?"

"hehe."

The Master smiled but said nothing, and Gongsun Ce also smiled.

Ning Que was not the one who realized it later, but Gongsun Ce used his mental power to influence Ning Que's judgment.

As Gongsun Ce's realm improves and his understanding of the spirit of words deepens, he has made some progress in the application of mental power.

Influencing Ning Que's cognition is a piece of cake, otherwise Ning Que would have come up to curry favor with someone else.

Ning Que really needs a strong support now, especially someone who can help him practice.

Ning Que's blood feud has not yet been avenged, and his obsession is so deep that it is impossible to resolve.

As long as Ning Que can practice and gain strength, he doesn't mind being humble or even giving up his dignity.

Lu Qingchen, a guest official at the South Gate of Haotian Dao, told Ning Que that only six of his Qi Hai Xue Shan's orifices were open, while cultivation required the opening of all ten orifices, and Ning Que was not qualified to practice cultivation at all.

But Ning Que believed that he was qualified to practice, but just lacked the skills, so he was admitted to the academy, attempting to obtain the skills of practice there.

In fact, the "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" that Ning Que had been reading repeatedly before was an entry-level practice, and it was famous for being an easy way to get started.

If an ordinary person reads "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" several times but is unable to sense the Yuan Energy of Heaven and Earth, it means that he has almost no qualifications for cultivation.

So Gongsun Ce was a little curious. Did the Master accept Chen Pipi as his disciple because he was eyeing the Tongtian Pills in his hand?

Tongtian Pills are the secret medicine of Zhishou Temple. After taking them, they can enhance other people's qualifications, improve their cultivation, and recover from injuries.

However, since there is no one in the world who can refine Tongtian Pills, the number of Tongtian Pills available will decrease as you take them.

Gongsun Ce was always the type who would ask whatever came to his mind, so he directly asked the Master via voice transmission: "You accepted Chen Pipi as your disciple, are you interested in his Tongtian Pills?"

"Yes! I have that intention, but I am more impressed by his cooking skills. Li Manman cooks too slowly. I am worried that he will starve to death, so I am hiring a cook."

"You are a scumbag teacher who exploits students."

"Hahaha." The teacher laughed and shook his head, "How can it be considered exploitation? That's the tuition fee that the students give to the teacher."

Seeing that Gongsun Ce obviously did not believe him, the Master changed the subject and began to discuss his path of cultivation, focusing on the seventh realm of the academy, the extraordinary realm.

“The extraordinary realm is very special. Strictly speaking, I have not actually experienced the extraordinary realm. Instead, I have entered the realm of no rules directly from the realm of no distance.

After I broke through the sixth realm of the Wuju realm, I have been traveling around the world, comprehending the rules of Haotian, and suddenly one day I realized it.

I understood Haotian's rules, so I avoided Haotian's rules, and then I achieved the state of no rules.

In my opinion, my breakthrough was very dramatic. I didn’t even practice at the time. It was just a simple flash of inspiration that gave me the power I have now.

However, the breakthrough of my junior fellow apprentice Ke Haoran was gradual. My realm is very high, a step-by-step higher.

To be honest, I did not create the seventh and eighth realms belonging to the academy, but the gambler, the creator of Taoism in the past, did it. In this regard, I am not as good as the gambler.

The extraordinary realm is the new realm that Junior Brother reaches after breaking through his limits. I will tentatively regard it as the seventh realm. This realm transcends the boundless and goes beyond common sense.

Literally speaking, extraordinary means transcending the mundane, and being able to ignore some of Haotian's rules to a certain extent.

When Haotian killed her junior brother, she didn't rely on Haotian's divine light and thunder, nor on the five-clawed golden dragon and the golden general. She only relied on the law of time.

Junior Brother ignored the laws of time for a while at first, but later on he was unable to resist..."

The Master was speaking and Gongsun Ce was listening, because Ke Haoran's death was somewhat strange. He did not leave a body or even any trace.

According to the Master, Ke Haoran was eroded by the law of time and no trace of his body remained. This further strengthened Gongsun Ce's idea of ​​obtaining the seventh level of immortality in the Demon Sect.

Gongsun Ce only hopes that the butcher will not let him down, but Gongsun Ce actually has his intuition and the butcher may not be able to give him inspiration.

The butcher's level of cultivation close to immortality comes from wielding his weightless butcher knife day and night.

In other words, the butcher's level comes from constant training, not traditional practice.

As the Master told his story, Gongsun Ce's understanding of the extraordinary realm grew day by day. Just one month after the ox cart left Chang'an, Gongsun Ce began to break through.

The extraordinary realm, as the name suggests, is a state beyond the mundane world.

In this realm, practitioners can ignore certain rules and possess incredible power.

People will not easily age due to the passage of time, will not easily die due to external forces, and will not easily become exhausted due to the use of telekinesis.

This is a realm that every practitioner can only dream of, and Gongsun Ce is about to step into this mysterious world.

Gongsun Ce took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the mental power in his body.

He felt waves of heaven and earth energy coming from all directions, pouring into his body like a tide.

These elemental forces were pure and powerful. Gongsun Ce's body seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit, madly absorbing these elemental forces.

Time seemed to become slow and heavy at this moment.

There were bursts of rumbling sounds coming from Gongsun Ce's body. That was the sound of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Energy flowing through his body. As everyone knew, Haotian was very stingy, so the Heaven and Earth Yuan Energy was extremely violent and difficult to absorb.

His meridians became tougher and broader under the impact of Yuanli.

For seven days and seven nights, Gongsun Ce sat quietly on the ox cart, allowing the energy of heaven and earth to flow into his body, and comprehending the essence of the extraordinary realm.

Finally, at dusk on the seventh day, Gongsun Ce's eyes suddenly opened.

He felt that his connection with heaven and earth was closer, and at the same time he would receive more attention from Haotian.

If the Master's aura had not covered Gongsun Ce's aura, Haotian would probably have caused trouble for Gongsun Ce.

After breaking through the extraordinary realm, Gongsun Ce's world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He saw the concrete image of the laws - they were like thin threads intertwined together, forming the cornerstone of this world.

He could clearly sense the fluctuations and flows of these laws, and even touch their essence.

Gongsun Ce tried to change the rules within a certain range.

He waved his hand lightly, and the trees within a hundred miles stopped absorbing water and began to absorb the essence from the stones.

These trees seemed to have gained a new source of life, becoming more lush and green.

This power made Gongsun Ce feel both surprised and excited.

He realized that he had stepped into the threshold of the extraordinary realm and possessed the power to change the laws.

However, he also understood that this was just the beginning, and the higher eighth level of purity was still waiting for him ahead.
