Chapter 517 Awakening

"Now there are still a hundred years before entering the Immortal Palace! Wu Chi can reach the peak of Star Gathering within a hundred years. Who dares to say that he cannot step into the Broken Star within a hundred years?" Luo Ying raised his eyebrows. He asked coldly.

"You also said, it's just possible!" Lingtian Sword Lord retorted without giving in, "I never believed it was possible! Besides, even if he could really step into the Broken Star before entering the Immortal Palace, with the power of the Broken Star just now How can you compete with other geniuses in terms of strength?"

"You haven't tried it, how do you know it can't be done?" Luo Ying snorted disdainfully and asked calmly.

"alright!"

Frowning slightly, Jianzu spoke again to interrupt the dispute between the two.

After pondering for a moment, Sword Ancestor then said, "Luo Ying fought for the spot. Due to emotions and reasons, Wu Chi should be given a chance! Let's do this. After this competition is over, Wu Chi will follow him in the competition. The top ten disciples, follow me in seclusion! The limit is ten years. If Wu Chi can step into Broken Star within ten years, he will be given a place to enter the Immortal Palace. If not... there is no need to mention this matter again. "

ten years!

This is actually a rather short period of time. From the peak of Gathering Stars to the Broken Stars, there is a gap. I don’t know how many people are stuck outside this gate.

It sounds extremely unfair to only give Wu Chi ten years.

But Luo Ying just fell silent.

Because these ten years are not an ordinary ten years, but ten years of seclusion with Jian Zu.

They all knew what was in Jianzu's retreat place.

In this way, although the chance is still small, it is not completely impossible.

As for being more difficult, that's what it should be.

When I think of getting such an opportunity as an exception, I naturally have to prove that I have the potential and qualifications first.

This is a hurdle set by Jianzu. Whether he can cross it depends on Wu Chi himself.

This is indeed fair!

More importantly, now that Sword Ancestor has spoken, there is no room for refusal.

Bowing slightly, Luo Ying said, "Follow Master's instructions!"

"Okay, let's all go down. Come see me again after the sect competition." Sword Ancestor waved his hand and ordered calmly.

As for how to deal with Wu Chi, Sword Ancestor did not mention it again, so naturally it would be settled.

Although Bai Rong is a true disciple, to Sword Ancestor, he is still just a little person who can't even remember his name. If he dies, he will die. There is nothing worth caring about.

The most important thing is to settle the dispute between Luo Ying and Ling Tianjianjun.

And this result is actually acceptable to both parties.

The ownership of a place in the Immortal Palace is far more important than Bai Rong's life and death.

..

After coming out of the main hall, Wu Chi did not return to Jianfeng again, but went directly back to Jianfeng with Luo Ying.

Wu Chi's injuries have not yet recovered, so it is safest to follow Luo Ying back to Jianfeng to adjust his breathing.

What's more, with such a fuss now, Wu Chi naturally doesn't need to participate in the subsequent competitions. Apart from anything else, at least he has obtained the benefits of seclusion with Sword Ancestor, so it is not a loss.

What made Wu Chi depressed was that he obviously wanted to ask a lot of questions, but after Luo Ying abandoned him, he ignored him and couldn't even find anyone.

..

The competition was still going on in an orderly manner, with Xiu Shui Jianjun in charge, and there was no impact due to the previous events.

In the blink of an eye, another seven days passed.

The sect competition finally came to an end.

Among the top ten, there are three from Xiushui Peak, three from Lingtian Peak, and only two from Lengxing Peak. The other two are ordinary true disciples.

It is worth mentioning that due to Bai Rong's death and Wu Chi's withdrawal, Han Shuang managed to rank tenth with some luck, and also got the opportunity to retreat with Sword Ancestor.

Although the subsequent competitions were still exciting and there were some amazing battles, for all the disciples, the battle between Wu Chi and Bai Rong was undoubtedly the most memorable.

Even though Wu Chi had lost three of the three battles before, no one dared to underestimate Wu Chi anymore.

After seven days of training, Wu Chi's injuries have completely recovered.

Luo Ying did not make any demands to Wu Chi. There were no restrictions except that he was not allowed to go down to Sword Peak.

Yun He came to Jian Peak to meet Wu Chi several times, and naturally knew that Wu Chi and others would be in seclusion with Jian Zu. Unfortunately, Yun He failed to make it into the top ten.

Wu Chi could feel Yun He's thoughts, but he didn't respond after all.

The night before he went to see Sword Ancestor, Luo Ying finished other things and met Wu Chi again.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

After touching his nose, Wu Chi stood honestly in front of Luo Ying and realized that he didn't seem to have anything to ask.

There were so many questions before, but Luo Ying couldn't be found. After so many days, Wu Chi had already calmed down, and he didn't have anything special to ask.

After thinking for a while, Wu Chi shook his head and said, "Disciple, I have nothing more to ask."

Hearing this answer, Luo Ying couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he said, "Okay, since you have nothing else to ask, it's my turn to ask you."

"Is there anything gained in the Heavenly Sword Prison?"

Mentioning Heavenly Sword Prison as soon as he opened his mouth undoubtedly proved that Luo Ying attached great importance to it.

Nodding slightly, Wu Chi replied softly, "I was lucky enough to understand the magical power in it. Uncle Leng Xing said that that magical power seems to be called Ten Thousand Swords Guiyi!"

There was a glint in his eyes. Although there was a vague guess before, Luo Ying was still a little surprised after hearing Wu Chi's confirmation.

"Okay! This way, the certainty will be much greater."

Luo Ying knows the power of Ten Thousand Swords as One better than anyone else, although in fact, even Luo Ying himself does not know this magical power.

Wu Chi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "With the disciple's current strength, I'm afraid he still won't be able to use this magical power."

During the life-and-death fight with Bai Rong, Wu Chi actually had the idea of ​​using this move, but unfortunately, he was still unsure, so he gave up.

Wu Chi could understand the power of this magical power, but he also vaguely felt that, let alone now, even if he stepped into the Broken Star, he might not be able to use it.

In this way, it feels like looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst.

Waving his hand, Luo Ying said, "That's not important! You have heard it before. This retreat with Sword Ancestor is related to whether you can obtain the qualifications to enter the Immortal Palace! Although ten years is shorter, but , I have great confidence in you. Only when you enter the Immortal Palace will this magical power truly become your trump card."

Compared with the test when entering the Immortal Palace, the sect competition is like child's play and not worth mentioning at all.

"Master, are you too confident?" Rolling his eyes, Wu Chi said helplessly, "In ten years, I have no confidence in myself."

This is not to belittle oneself. In fact, only when one reaches the peak of Star Gathering can one understand the difficulty of Star Breaking.

You must know that within the sect, anyone who can step into Broken Star within three thousand years of entry can become a true disciple.

The most difficult key is actually the final step into the Broken Star.

Although Wu Chi was conceited, he also understood that the difficulties involved could not be solved by being cruel.

Ten years is really too short.

Shaking his head slightly, Luo Ying explained, "That's because you still don't understand what it means to go into seclusion with Sword Ancestor."

"Um?"

Wu Chi was slightly startled and asked curiously.

"The place where Sword Ancestor retreats, where the heart of the stars lies!"

Looking at Wu Chi, Luo Ying said softly.

...

"For you, the ten years of retreat with Sword Ancestor can even be said to be the key to determining your future. It may even be the greatest opportunity in your life."

Looking at his three disciples, Lingtian Sword Lord said slowly.

"Is Master talking about the opportunity to enter the Immortal Palace?" Ji Yifeng asked with some confusion.

He had already heard about the Immortal Palace from Lord Lingtian Sword, and naturally also knew that this time there were only two places in the Wanjian Sect.

"It's more than that." Lingtian Sword Master said in a deep voice with a glint in his eyes, "What's more important is... the heart of the stars!"

"The process of Sword Ancestor refining the stars is a great opportunity for you! Even if you can get even a little benefit from the heart of the stars, it will be enough for you to benefit endlessly."

Looking at these disciples, Lord Lingtian Sword was actually slightly confused. It's just that it's hard for him to express these doubts.

He knew very well the meaning of the Heart of the Stars, which was the key to whether Sword Ancestor could become the Star Master.

But he didn't quite understand why the Sword Ancestor would agree to let these disciples follow him in retreat to understand the heart of the stars. This didn't make sense at all.

The relationship between this matter is too great, and I'm afraid it's not just about cultivating potential disciples.

Or is it that the Sword Ancestor also bet his hope on the Immortal Palace?

So... that is to say, is it possible that Sword Ancestor is not sure about refining the heart of the stars at all?

..

Listening to Luo Ying's explanation of the purpose of the Heart of the Stars, Wu Chi couldn't help but feel a sudden jump in his heart!

He didn't even care about what Luo Ying said.

At this moment, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through Wu Chi's heart.

Before, he never understood why Xi Junying threw himself into Wanjian Sect and never contacted him again.

It wasn't until this moment that Wu Chi heard about the Heart of the Stars from Luo Ying, and Wu Chi suddenly became aware of it.

Heart of the stars!

There is no doubt that Xi Junying's goal should be the Heart of the Stars.

A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of Wu Chi's heart.

At this moment, he even had the urge to tell Luo Ying about Xi Junying.

Just such a thought flashed in his mind, and he pressed it hard.

Wu Chi himself didn't know what the consequences would be if he told Xi Junying's story. It would not only affect him alone, but it might even affect Luo Ying's life or death.

Although Luo Ying is strong, compared with Xi Junying, I'm afraid he is still not good enough.

The most important thing is that even if he says it, it may not be able to affect Xi Junying's plan, and it may even make things worse!
