Yunjing, the imperial garden, in a pavilion.
The palace maid served the spiritual tea and stepped back, leaving Hong Zhan and Dugu Jian alone to sit in the pavilion and enjoy tea.
"Congratulations, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and I have broken through to the Heavenly Holy Realm." Hong Zhan smiled.
"How do you know?" Dugu Jian said curiously.
"Two months ago, the Sword God Mountain, the sword qi soared into the sky, one peak pressed three peaks, and the name moved the Xuantian Continent. Hong Zhan smiled.
His spies have already been distributed to the four continents, even if there are still few spies in the Xuantian Continent, but some powerful forces have also begun to deploy them.
Dugu Jian shook his head and said: "It's all just a false name, in the past two days, I came to Yunjing to know how rapidly your Daqing has developed. The first to subdue the traitors of the common people, and sang all the way, opening up countless territories."
"You and I should not be polite to each other. What is it that made you make a special trip to me this time?" Hong Zhan asked with a smile.
Dugu Jian thought for a while and said: "I want to ask you for a favor, but I don't know if it's embarrassing."
"Oh?" Hong Zhan said curiously.
"I, Sword God Mountain, the former lord, am called Sword God. The four swordsmen under his command of 'Southeast, Northwest, and Northwest'. Inherited from generation to generation, guarding the Xuantian Continent.
But ten thousand years ago, after the death of the previous generation of sword gods, no sword gods were born, and they were always four sword gods, managing the Sword God Mountain.
I want to become a new sword god." Dugu Jian said.
"What conditions do you need to be born as a new sword god?" Hong Zhan asked.
"You need the consent of the four sword gods to enter the secret realm of the Sword God Mountain together, and you can become the new sword god with the inheritance of the first generation of sword gods." Dugu Jian said.
"Sword God Inheritance?" Hong Zhan said curiously.
Dugu Jian nodded and said: "The first sword god of Sword God Mountain is an immortal, from the upper realm, who swept away the demons in the world with the immortals a hundred thousand years ago. Although he fell, he had a remnant thought that retained his sword intent.
His sword intent is the inheritance of the sword god, which is extremely useful for my sword path.
My purpose is that sword intent."
"In these ten thousand years, why haven't there been a new Juggernaut to become a Sword God?" Hong Zhan asked.
"Because of that secret realm, it suddenly became extremely dangerous, there have been many times, the Four Veins Juggernaut has brought a large number of disciples inside, but very few people can come back alive, and after a few times, few Juggernauts dare to enter again." Dugu Jian said.
"What is the danger of that secret realm?" Hong Zhan asked.
"There is a powerful sword path formation left by the first sword god, and only the emperor saint level power is allowed to be used.
Secondly, there are powerful vines inside, it is said that the vines are like living creatures and will attack people, the power of the vines is different, and the strong ones also have the power of the peak of the Emperor's Holy Realm." Dugu Jian said.
"Can't use the power of the Heavenly Holy Realm?" Hong Zhan was surprised.
"It's not that you can't cast it, it's just that you will be attacked after casting it, if you have a magic weapon to protect your body, you can resist it for a while, but you need to come out of the secret realm immediately." Dugu Jian said.
"Aren't you a cultivator in the Heavenly Saint Realm? How do you get in?" Hong Zhan said curiously.
"I will suppress my cultivation, press my cultivation to the Emperor's Holy Realm, and then enter it." Dugu Jian said.
"The other three swordsmen have all agreed to enter the secret realm?"
"Yes. They are also extraordinary and want to go further." Dugu Jian said.
"The secret realm of Sword God Mountain, can you bring outsiders?" Hong Zhan asked.
"Yes, each sword master can bring some people in to help, but there are not only internal dangers inside, but several sword masters will also compete for the sword god inheritance. Although I am not afraid of them, it is inevitable that I will encounter some special things that make me flawless internally, so I would like to ask for your help, of course, it also depends on your actual situation, if you are inconvenient, I will not force it." Dugu Jian said.
"I'll accompany you on a trip." Hong Zhan said.
During this time, he continued to enter the space of his heart, and also created new knife techniques, and he felt more and more that he had missed countless detours, which was considered to be owed Dugu Jian a favor, this time, he naturally had to repay this favor.
"Then in a month, I will wait for you in Jianshen Mountain." Dugu Jian said.
"Okay!" Hong Zhan nodded.
Hong Zhan asked about the secret realm of Sword God Mountain again, but Dugu Jian shook his head, saying that he didn't know either, he knew some of the secret realm from the classics of Sword God Mountain, and he had never been in.
Hong Zhan then asked about the situation of the three major swordsmen, and discussed the sword path and sword path, and both of them had great gains.
After Dugu Jian left, Hong Zhan began to get busy again, and at the same time called in a lot of information about Sword God Mountain and carefully consulted it.
Half a month later, Hong Zhan came to a dark world battlefield.
There is a big war going on there. A large number of bull-headed yin soldiers were fighting with a group of paper men.
A bull-headed yin soldier led by him even fought against the third yin general of Daqing, Leng Tianshuang.
Leng Tianshuang fought extremely fiercely, but his injuries were extremely serious, and he couldn't exert all his strength, but even so, after some tearing, he still picked off the head of the bull-headed yin soldier and shouted: "Your King of Hell is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed, otherwise, it will be like this."
Leng Tianshuang's voice roared in all directions, causing the morale of the Great Qingyin soldiers to soar, and the enemy's yin soldiers collapsed in an instant, and the battle situation was settled.
Leng Tianshuang commanded Ruo Ding, and quickly ended a battle.
He was shattered and had no time to rest, when a yin soldier quickly stepped forward and said: "General, Your Majesty has a request."
Leng Tianshuang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran with the yin soldier to the foot of a mountain in the distance, and saw Hong Zhan and several underworld officials watching him from a distance.
"Minister Leng Tianshuang, meet Your Majesty." Leng Tianshuang said respectfully.
"In the case of the opponent having the Yin Tianzi Seal, you can still win this battle, and the tactics are used very well." Hong Zhan praised.
"I am ashamed, in order to destroy the other party's Yin Tianzi Seal first, I paid a lot of price, but fortunately, the result was okay, and I didn't lose Daqing's face." Leng Tianshuang said.
Although he was ashamed, he was extremely proud at the moment, because he had won the case of the enemy King of Hell holding the Yin Tianzi Seal, and he had not yet asked the Great Green God General to help.
"Are you seriously injured?" Hong Zhan asked.
"It's not a big deal, you can recuperate for a few days." Leng Tianshuang said.
"In ten days, go out with me to do business." Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!" Leng Tianshuang said excitedly.
Although he could also make meritorious contributions by opening up territory, he found that every battle His Majesty fought was the most dangerous battle, and it also paid the greatest reward.
Knowing that Jiang Dongyi grabbed the task last time and received His Majesty's generous gift and three more Divine Moon Period Yin Spirits, he had long been jealous, and he regretted it even more.
Now, the opportunity came, and he was extremely excited.
"Cultivate well, and in ten days, in the best condition, set off with me." Hong Zhan said.
"Yes!" Leng Tianshuang responded.
Hong Zhan explained something more, and left with the broken Yin Tianzi Seal.
Watching Hong Zhan leave, a group of paper figures quickly gathered around and congratulated Leng Tianshuang.
"It's my duty to share your worries for Your Majesty, what is there to congratulate you? Don't clean the battlefield? Don't go yet." Leng Tianshuang shouted.
However, halfway through the conversation, he couldn't help but smile excitedly.
-------
A month passed in a flash.
On this day, Hong Zhan and Leng Tianshuang wrapped themselves in black robes and flew to a foggy mountain area, this area had countless formations, and from time to time sword cultivators flew by, and five giant peaks could be vaguely seen, like giant swords pointing to the sky.
Although Leng Tianshuang is a paper man yin spirit, he is a man-eating flower spirit, reversing yin and yang, and he still has strong strength in the yang world.
They flew to a valley where sword cultivators gathered, where a huge monument was erected with the three characters "Sword God Mountain" written on it.
The arrival of the two instantly attracted a group of sword cultivators to come forward and ask.
Hong Zhan took out the token left by Dugu Jian before leaving, and said: "I want to see Dugu Jian."
"See the Eastern Sword Saint?" The sword cultivators looked solemn.
Among the sword cultivators, the disciples of the Dugu Sword lineage quickly stepped forward and took the token very politely to check, and after confirming that the token was correct, they immediately became extremely respectful.
"Two distinguished guests, the Eastern Sword Saint has explained, if the distinguished guest comes, you can go straight into the Sword God Mountain, please come with me." A sword cultivator said.
Hong Zhan nodded, and flew into the mountain gate of Sword God Mountain with Leng Tianshuang.
In the Sword God Mountain, there were countless bamboo forests, sword cultivators were flying, there were formations everywhere, and there were disciples patrolling everywhere, but with the token of the Dugu Sword, it was unimpeded all the way, and soon came to the foot of a high mountain inside.
Dugu Jian learned that Hong Zhan was coming and personally welcomed him.
"It's not too late, is it?" Hong Zhan smiled.
"It's not too late, the time is just right." Dugu Jian smiled.
"When will it start?"
"Are you ready?"
"I can do it at any time." Hong Zhan said.
Dugu Jian nodded, looked at several sword cultivators not far away, and said: "Inform the other three swordsmen, just say, my people have arrived, start immediately."
"Yes!" Several sword cultivators flew in all directions in response.
Hong Zhan said curiously: "Just wait for me?"
Dugu Jian shook his head and said: "It was their people who came early, and they urged me to enter the secret realm in advance two days ago, but I didn't agree. You don't have to worry about this, now, follow me to the Sword Temple."
"Okay!" Hong Zhan nodded.
Dugu Jian arranged for a group of sword cultivators, and took two confidants of the sword cultivators and led the two Hong Zhan into the sky.
A group of five people quickly flew to the foot of a huge mountain, where a fog formation covered the surroundings, but they could see that there were a large number of palaces at the foot of the mountain.
Dugu Jian took Hong Zhan and his party and landed first on the square in front of the Sword Temple.
