Seemingly satisfied with his arrangement, the man in black showed a pleasant smile, stood with his hands behind his hands, and murmured to himself.

"Qing Emperor, Qing Emperor, the good relationship you forged with me when you were alone in the Lost Land, I was unable to arrive in time to save your life when you were surrounded and killed."

"Now, when this little fox opened the ancient holy tomb, I used some tricks to lure him here to challenge. This can be regarded as understanding the fate between you and me."

"After all, no matter what, this little guy is also your Qingyuntian, and he still has your remaining breath."

"Huh... I finally understand a piece of cause and effect. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have taken this path in the first place."

There was a trace of bitterness on the face of the man in black, and a cold snort came out, as if he was not satisfied with what he just said.

Immediately afterwards, a bright-headed old man wearing a Taoist robe walked over. If Chen Qiang were here, he would have recognized that this old man was the Taoist Priest Taixu.

"I advised you not to choose this path of karma, but you just didn't listen!"

"In this regard, Ruoruona girl is up to you. She is worthy of being a father and daughter. Their temperaments are exactly the same."

"I told her to practice hard all day and refused to listen. She was fine. She always wanted to go around and have fun. What was the result?"

"Didn't the second level make you tainted with karma again? Moreover, even I can't see through this boy named Chen Qiang. Xiaozhu, what do you want me to say about you?"

"well......"

Taoist priest Taixu sighed, showing a deep look of helplessness.

The man in black had a fearless look on his face, but comforted him: "Master, when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the earth will cover them. Isn't this also what you taught me?"

"What's more, I just owe that little guy a favor. I can just find an opportunity to repay it later. It's not a great cause and effect."

"Now that the cause and effect of the Qing Emperor has been resolved, I can improve a lot in my cultivation. I am one step closer to the great road. I also need to retreat for a while to gain some insights."

"Ruoruo, please leave it to the master."

"besides......"

"Master, if it's my daughter's matter, be sure not to let her know about it first, otherwise she will definitely ask who her mother is."

"You know, that's..."

As if he was lost in memories, the man in black showed a look of sadness, and Taoist Master Taixu had no choice but to sigh.

"well!"

"I understand, I really owe you father and daughter. Isn't it just a taboo? Is there anything that can't be said?"

"Forget it, forget it, you have to deal with your own household affairs, the experts don't care about it!"

"My dear, I still want to live a leisurely life. Anyway, let me give you one more advice."

"The karma from Chen Qiang must be paid back as soon as possible, otherwise I will always feel a little uneasy in my heart."

The man in black faced Taoist Taixu and suddenly laughed. He laughed until the other party was confused, and then he stopped smiling.

Then he said with a serious face: "I have made a note. When I come out of seclusion, the first thing I will do is to end the karma of that little guy."

Taoist Master Taixu also became serious: "Oh? It seems that you have gained a lot this time."

"Okay, I won't disturb you anymore, I will go into seclusion as soon as possible, get out of seclusion as soon as possible, and put an end to Chen Qiang's cause and effect as soon as possible."

"Where Ruoruo is, just leave it to me without any worries!"

With that said, Taoist Master Taixu left the place, and the man in black faced the direction in which the old man left, with the corners of his mouth rising again unconsciously.

"Master, you are a typical tough talker." The man in black murmured: "Over the years, how many times have you told me not to take care of me, but how many times have you not taken care of me?"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a curtain of light covered this paradise.

Even from the outside world, you can't even perceive the existence here.

After Taoist Master Taixu came out of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, he ran straight towards the Cave Heaven where Ruoruo lived, with a kind face. Compared with the harshness in front of the man in black before, he was completely different.

"Xiao Ruoruo, where are you?"

"Grandpa is here, let's go to the back mountain to pick fruits, okay?"

"Ruoruo, where are you hiding? Are you playing hide-and-seek with grandpa? Then grandpa is coming to find you."

Taoist priest Taixu laughed and started searching in the cave where Ruoruo lived.

Not long after, I saw a letter on the table. The crooked handwriting on it was written by Ruoruo herself.

Taoist Master Taixu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He quickly picked up the letter and wrote: Master, Grandpa, if Ruoruo goes out to play for two days, please don't read it.

A wry smile appeared on the old man's face. Obviously, this was not the first time.

With a helpless sigh, Taoist Master Taixu skillfully made a move, and saw a spiritual light flying towards him, and soon transformed into a figure in front of him.

"Go, Ruoruo went out to play again."

"Find her, keep her safe, and remember to bring her back when she has had enough fun."

The figure bowed in response, and in the next second, disappeared into the sigh of Taoist Taixu.

The other side.

Chen Qiang slowly woke up. The feeling of near-death he had felt before was so real that he almost thought he had died.

After an immediate examination, he discovered that he was indeed still alive, but he had no idea what happened after he fainted.

At the same time, in Chen Qiang's sea of ​​consciousness, the last two corners of the hexagonal array also lit up.

At this moment, the entire array is emitting colorful rays of light. If you look carefully, you will find two small characters on each corner.

They are: wisdom, justice, charity, temperance, courage, and spirit.

Seeing this, Chen Qiang seemed to have some enlightenment.

"It seems that the first test is wisdom and justice, the second test is benevolence and temperance, and the last test just now is courage and spirit, isn't it?"

"I see, I just don't know what the benefits will be after everything is completed?"

As if to answer Chen Qiang, although the hexagonal array gradually disappeared until it disappeared, the mechanical voice remained in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Chen Qiang, a human monk, cleared the Lost Land and obtained the qualification to compete for Bailing Cave."

"On the day the competition begins, when the hexagonal magic circle reappears, human monk Chen Qiang can be teleported to the competition location through the magic circle."

"Rewards for the third level are distributed, and you can obtain the protection of the Lost Land. Within one year after leaving the Lost Land, you can temporarily increase your cultivation level by a large level."

As the voice fell, Chen Qiang was overjoyed.

Although he didn't know what this Bailing Cave was, he understood the reward for the third level.

In other words, after he leaves here, his cultivation level will be able to reach a higher level than his actual cultivation level within one year!

For example, he is currently on the third level of Mahayana, and within a year after leaving, he will be on the third level of Tribulation. Coupled with the sword skills in "Famous Swordsman", in this year, no matter what, he should be able to make the sword sect the most powerful in the Great Qin Empire.

I've gained a firm foothold.

Gradually return to reality, within sight.
