Borrowing a sword

Chapter 223 The Dao of the Dao Ancestor!

Standing by the cold pool, Li Chunsong stared blankly at the scene before him.

He wore a look of bewilderment, as if he were both laughing and crying.

"So, he has the 'key' to the Dao Ancestor's legacy?" The Sixth Elder couldn't help but exclaim.

The restrictions left by the Dao Ancestor are something that even these high-ranking members of the Daoist sect probably couldn't break by force, even if they worked together.

This kid is quite something; relying on the power of the Daoist Canon within him, he can come and go freely without any hindrance!
It was as if the Daoist patriarch himself had certified that this kid was my successor.

With this thought in mind, Li Chunsong couldn't help but puff out his chest again, feeling a sense of joy as he wanted to hum a soft hum.

"The only person in a thousand years to have mastered the Daoist Canon, and who can be called the successor of the Dao Ancestor, is Chu Huaixu, whom I—no, I mean, the one who came up the mountain!"

"Without Li Chunsong, the Daoist tradition would surely be severed!"

"This is a martial arts technique that has been passed down for thousands of years without a break."

"My achievements will be remembered for generations to come!"

Chu Huaixu's "fly mount" flew back to the main hall of Wendao Peak with great pride and swagger.

Seeing his expression, everyone was somewhat puzzled.

It was obvious that they were just chatting and hadn't used their divine sense to follow them.

When Han Shuangjiang entered the Dao Ancestor's Secret Realm, an energy fluctuation spread throughout the Dao Sect, and they immediately sensed it.

But Chu Huaixu possessed the "key," and as if returning to his own home, he did so naturally and quietly.

When Jiang Zhi saw Li Chunsong acting like this again, he felt his eyes twitch.

Previously, this sixth brother picked up the wrong person when he went down the mountain. As his junior uncle, he scolded him a lot and even dragged him into his sword domain to torture him severely.

Now, Chu Huaixu, this variable, has become the opportunity to save the world, so how come the sixth brother is so arrogant?

But this is undoubtedly an indirect slap in the face to Jiang Zhi.

"Speak, what has Chu Huaixu done this time!" His old face darkened. Even though his wisdom pearl kept falling to the ground, he could guess at this moment that it must be related to Chu Huaixu.

As a result, Li Chunsong's words were always shocking.

"He seems to be able to come and go freely in the Dao Ancestor's Inheritance Secret Realm!"

Within the secret realm of the Dao Ancestor's lineage, Han Shuangjiang sat cross-legged, adjusting her internal energy.

This is the thirteenth day since she entered this place.

She herself never expected that she would enter the secret realm so inexplicably.

"Could it be that I really do have extraordinary luck, as Chu Huaixu said?" She was somewhat puzzled.

Previously, Han Shuangjiang had only been passing by the cold pond.

By this time, she had been separated from Chu Huaixu for more than a month.

She now lives alone in the two adjacent bamboo houses.

It was as if she had returned to the past, back to that rainy night at the foot of Wumeng Mountain, before she met the young man who had braved the rain to come to her, holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Before meeting him, Han Shuangjiang lived a life of wandering and hardship, but she didn't feel anything was wrong.

Eating alone, traveling alone, and trying to protect myself alone.

She doesn't feel lonely or isolated.

If she had never experienced the most vibrant and exciting aspects of life.

During the days when Chu Huaixu was away, she would get up early to cook as usual, but she would often get distracted, so she would put in too much rice when cooking porridge.

Habit is a terrible thing.

Especially the habits that others have given you.

Because every time, habit will remind you—to think of him.

However, with the big rice bucket at home gone, how could she possibly finish all that porridge she cooked by herself?

The housekeeper is someone who can't stand waste, regardless of whether the family is wealthy or not.

She drinks porridge in the morning, at noon, and in the evening.

When cooking porridge, I think of him; when drinking porridge, I think of him; when I can't drink it or get tired of it, I curse him in my heart.

Han Shuangjiang began cultivating alone, having lost her reference points.

Being naturally introspective, she would always wonder, "What level has Chu Huaixu reached now?"

"He has returned safely from the Origin Spirit Realm, so he shouldn't need to be stuck in the realm anymore, right?"

Many times, she felt that her world had become much quieter, perhaps too quiet, even though she used to be someone who didn't like crowds.

The dead fox is always grinning and loves to spout nonsense. Whenever the body cultivator does something or spars with someone, he makes a lot of noise.

If Xiao Xu is also at home, the house becomes even more chaotic, and every now and then you can hear screams from his cultivation.

Han Shuangjiang now understands a little why the ladies of [Hongxiuzhao] would become so indifferent to food and drink once they developed feelings for a certain patron.

Because when you can't see him, every time you space out or drift off into a daze, it's the most intimate thing you can do to him from a distance.

Fortunately, Big Ice Cube is, after all, the one who got the female lead role in "Borrowing a Sword," so she won't neglect her duties because of missing him.

"He's refining fragments of the Profound Yellow Origin, so I should at least work harder in my cultivation, right? I can't let him leave me far behind."

Daoist companions are partners who walk side by side on the path of cultivation.

—Each strives in their own way, and though separated by a thousand miles, they share the same breeze.

In this way, this person with the Xuan Yin Body broke through five minor realms during this period and reached the Great Perfection of the Second Realm.

For both Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang, the cold pool of Yaoshan was a special place.

Because it was in this icy, secluded pool that the two had their first intimate encounter.

This was also the first time they had overcome a difficult situation together. When Han Shuangjiang passed by, she walked over as if possessed, and then casually chose a rock by the cold pool to sit down.

Her full, plump buttocks had barely touched the large rock, her buttocks hadn't even fully settled, and her entire buttocks hadn't been squeezed, when she was instantly sucked into the world inside the stone!
Han Shuangjiang felt a brief blur before her eyes, unable to see anything, everything was in chaos.

Once her vision returned, she was struck dumb with astonishment!
Because in front of her was a huge stone wall.

There is only one large character on the stone wall.

--road!

She only glanced at it, but felt a tremor in her mind!
At that moment, Han Shuangjiang instinctively wanted to look away.

It's like someone staring directly at the blazing sun; after the eyes are stung, the instinctive reaction is to look away.

But for some reason, she couldn't avoid it!

The word "Tao" seems to possess infinite magic.

Her gaze was locked on that one word!
The turmoil in his sea of ​​consciousness began to gradually intensify.

Although only seven or eight seconds had passed, Han Shuangjiang felt as if half an hour had gone by!
Cold sweat began to break out on her body, and she struggled to keep her consciousness from fading.

She desperately circulated her spiritual power, even urging the Samsara Sword Intent to force herself into the [Celestial State], but to no avail.

All that could sustain her was her stubbornness.

This is a battle of wills!

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
At first, she only felt her sea of ​​consciousness tremble, but later she felt her sea of ​​consciousness begin to collapse!
The character "Dao" in front of Han Shuangjiang began to appear double.

Her body began to tremble unconsciously, her long legs started to shake slightly, and she felt a chill run through her body.

The endless dizziness made her feel that her head was very heavy and her eyelids were very heavy.

But she still tries her best to persevere and keeps trying to find a solution.

Once she entered the "Celestial State," her emotions became almost completely calm, which was actually beneficial, allowing her to remain composed at all times.

Unfortunately, how many miraculous techniques can a mere cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Second Realm possess?

She tried everything, but couldn't crack it.

Her consciousness began to fade, and she could only rely on her tenacious willpower to stay afloat.

Han Shuangjiang's sea of ​​consciousness has already collapsed by half and is on the verge of collapse.

But she remained calm and continued to put up a stubborn resistance.

She knew very well that if she lost her composure at this moment, she would either die or go insane!

Time passed, and eighty-one breaths went by.

Han Shuangjiang even suspected that she might die at any moment!

This agonizing feeling is like being subjected to extreme torture on a conscious level!

boom--!
Everything receded suddenly like the tide, and Han Shuangjiang jolted awake as if she had just woken up.

She looked up at the character "Dao" on the stone wall again, no longer affected by it.

Meanwhile, the divine power within her sea of ​​consciousness began to become more solid and much stronger!

Her entire sea of ​​consciousness became increasingly solid, far stronger than before!

"What is this?" Han Shuangjiang was somewhat puzzled.

The rewards will undoubtedly be enormous!
Below the huge character "道" (Dao), a stone door opened.

After taking a deep breath, Han Shuangjiang resolutely strode forward.

If this "Dao" is the first hurdle, then she only broke through two hurdles in these thirteen days.

The giant ice block is currently trapped in the third level.

At this moment, Chu Huaixu also entered the secret realm.

The system notification sounded in his ear immediately.

He found the content somewhat amusing.

"[Ding! You have entered the single-player instance - Dao Ancestor's Legacy!]"

Chu Huaixu found it amusing; had he managed to squeeze himself into a single-player instance?

After a moment of visual confusion, he stood in the exact spot where Han Shuangjiang had stood, without deviating even slightly!

He stood in front of the stone wall, directly opposite the huge character "道" (Dao).

As soon as my vision returned, the word immediately came into view!
His gaze sharpened, yet his sea of ​​consciousness, guarded by the Heart Sword and a wisp of primordial power, felt no discomfort whatsoever.

However, just as he was about to look around, he found himself unable to look away.

Chu Huaixu's eyes had to be fixed on the character "Dao" on the stone wall!

"Huh?" He didn't expect this to happen as soon as he came in.

He stared at the character "道" with a puzzled expression.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
It's only eighty-one breaths; such a short time passes quickly.

Chu Huaixu felt no discomfort whatsoever, and his gaze could now move normally.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his sea of ​​consciousness become more solid and his spiritual power also increased significantly!

"Huh? What's going on here?"

No training whatsoever, just pure rewards?!
"The Dao Ancestor is indeed generous."
