Ji Ruochen lay on his back, staring blankly at the ceiling, but his sight had already passed through the wooden rafters and green tiles, looking into the depths of the sky. In the endless distance, among the dots of stars, there seemed to be a surging river slowly flowing through.

The waves in the river are gentle, but every tiny ripple is actually tens of millions of feet high!

There was a slight movement in his heart. If this river had a name, it should be called 'Destiny'.

Compared with the vast sky and the vast road, one person's strength is no different than a tiny speck of dust, so it is difficult to violate the destiny. Mortals who say that the Tao can reach the sky are really just deceiving themselves and others because they don't know the height of the sky.

Ji Ruochen's heart was beating faster and faster, and with every beat, a thought would come out that could not be suppressed. What if there were really people who were so virtuous that they could be as high as the sky?

He knew the idea was ridiculous.

The Taoist Sect's supreme treasure book, Three Purity True Secrets, begins with Tao. The first priority for a Taoist cultivator is to obey the heavens, and to suddenly realize the Great Way of Heaven's Heart is the first secret to ascension. This is different from the ordinary Taoist sects who emphasize going against the heavens and seizing the fortune of heaven and earth to cultivate themselves.

The practice of Jingyuan is very different. However, when Daodezong disciples practice Taoism, they start quickly and have a stable foundation. Later in the practice, they have full stamina and advance faster and faster. This is different from the ordinary orthodox sect who pays attention to establishing a solid foundation and is slow at first and fast at the end.

Quite different. Although the number of ascended true immortals in the Tao De Sect is not greater than that in Yun Zhong, the number of people who have cultivated the Zheng Guo in the past three thousand years is greater than that of the other sects combined. This is naturally the result of the Three Pure Secrets.

Being higher than the sky is completely contrary to the true meaning of the Three Pure Secrets. If you have this idea, it will not happen at first, but once the Tao practice reaches the realm of supreme purity, the consequences will appear. The progress will be slower.

Fortunately, the scary thing is that the higher the level of Taoism, the greater the risk of going crazy. In other words, if you really have the intention to go against heaven, you may not be able to practice these three pure techniques.

Although he kept warning himself, Ji Ruochen still couldn't help but think about this problem. Whenever he thought about what it means to defy the sky, a name would always come up quietly, Miao Yin.

Ji Ruochen turned over and sat up!

He has made some achievements in the Three Pure Secrets. If he is the fastest among the younger generation of Taoism in terms of speed of advancement, even Ji Bingxian is inferior to him. In any case, he is not willing to give up the Three Pure Secrets for a nonsense idea. What's more.

In this turbulent era, perhaps Taoism and cultivation are the only things we can rely on.

He began to look around, looking forward to something to distract him from thinking deeply about competing with the sky.

Looking past, an object came into view. After looking at it for a moment, he recognized that the dark object next to him was the Chinese Qi Luck Map. The Chinese Qi Luck Map had always been well kept in Xuan Xin's fingers, so how could it suddenly happen?

Came out on your own?

The Shenzhou Luck Map is different from usual. The surface is covered with a layer of light clouds and mist, which are swirling endlessly. When Ji Ruochen looked at the clear sky, the map seemed to suddenly come to life. Under the clouds and mist, there were mountains and green mountains, and thousands of rivers were flowing eastward.

, the clouds rolled thousands of miles, the wind moved the nine states, and the billions of miles of China were condensed into this small area in an instant! But this land is no longer peaceful, with smoke billowing everywhere and wars raging.

Ji Ruochen's consciousness jumped slightly, and he reached out to take out the Chinese destiny map. As soon as he took the map, the vision on it disappeared completely. However, the moment he took it, he already knew the third spirit from the map.

The source of power.

Master Ziyang had ordered him to explore the source of spiritual power twice before. After returning to the mountain for the second time, he was besieged by Taoist sects from all over the world, and the matter went nowhere. Although he knew that after he discovered the source of spiritual power, everyone would

The real people will go out together to kill the guardian spirit beast and retrieve the source of spiritual power. However, Ji Ruochen still doesn't know what the source of spiritual power is used for, and why all the real people want to come out in full force. But just think about the divine energy.

The origin of the fortune chart shows that the source of spiritual power is by no means an ordinary thing, and may even be related to the destiny of the world.

But at this moment, he didn't want to care about the world's luck at all, he just wanted to do something eagerly to keep his mind free. Exploring the source of spiritual power was just such a distracting thing for him.

So after simply packing up his luggage, Ji Ruochen opened the door, took a deep breath, and strode towards the palace gate. As for the crime of leaving the palace gate without permission, he was no longer considering it at this time.

The defense of Taishang Daode Palace is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. The palace guarding formation can withstand thousands of monks outside the mountain without any deliberate effort. The group of people practicing Taoism in the palace, or refining magic weapons, are no different from ordinary days, so there is no

People noticed that Ji Ruochen was walking alone at night, all the way out of the palace gate.

After exiting the palace gate, we walked around the stone platform that jutted far away from the cliff, and then there were stone steps, spiraling down to the foot of the mountain. These stone steps were no more than a foot wide, and the workmanship was rough, unlike the splendor of Taishang Daodegong.

They are completely inconsistent. However, the origin of these stone steps is unusual. They were opened by Master Miaoyin back then. Although the Taoist sect cannot understand the Taoism practiced by Miaoyin, they can still get a glimpse of it because there were signs of ascension in the sky that day.

Miaoyin Daoxing left these stone steps.

Ji Ruochen walked silently and quietly, stepping up the stone steps. The moment his toes touched the stone steps, he suddenly stopped.

The night wind is like a blade.

Ji Ruochen narrowed his eyes slightly, sniffed against the cold wind blowing against his face, and said calmly: "Come out, do you still have to go down the mountain with me?"

Several clusters of green light appeared in the originally empty night sky, which was the light emitted when the fairy Sifang Jia was activated by the true energy. Since the Sifang Jia appeared, it was naturally Ji Bingxian. Sure enough, it was Ji Bingxian who came.

Ji Bingxian's face like an ice sculpture appeared behind the blue light, and she stared at Ji Ruochen with a pair of blue eyes, saying: "You are indeed advancing very quickly, and you can actually detect my whereabouts, so you can fight with me.

"

Her words were as cold as ice, but there was a trace of surprise that could not be hidden. According to common sense, Ji Ruochen, who was two levels apart in ethics, would never notice that she was following behind.

Ji Ruochen shook his head and looked at the long, gradually submerging stone steps. A ray of silence passed through his eyes, and he sighed softly: "Why is there a fight between you and me?"

Looking at Ji Ruochen's retreating figure, Ji Bingxian's dark eyebrows slowly rose. Suddenly, the blue light of the fairy armor in all directions flourished. She curled her fingers, and a blue ice wheel formed on her fingertips and streaked through the air.

An arc cut across the stone steps in front of Ji Ruochen's feet like electricity!

This round of blue ice whirled rapidly, carving a deep mark on the stone steps, and then it soared into the sky and disappeared into the vast sea of ​​clouds in the night sky.

Ji Ruochen stared at the carvings for a moment, then said: "Being able to gather energy and form at the flick of a finger, you are only a thin line away from the realm of Shangqing. When it comes to the achievement of the Three Pure Secrets, there is more than one level between you and me.

When it comes to the speed of Taoism and advancement, no one in the sect can match you. There are countless high-level pure cultivators in the sect, so why bother looking for me to learn from each other?"

Ji Bingxian was speechless for a moment.

There was a bit of confusion in her eyes, and she was obviously a little confused about her persistence. However, as she watched Ji Ruochen slowly leave, her eyes suddenly became as bright as stars, and she just stared at the first stone step. Just now, her Moonlight Ice Wheel

A deep mark was carved on this stone step. How come after Ji Ruochen passed by, the stone step returned to its original state?

Ji Bingxian stood still for a moment, and the immortal armor from all directions radiated brilliance, separated from her body, and flew around her endlessly!

"Ji Ruochen! If you don't fight with me tonight, you will never be able to live in Xixuan!"

While speaking, Ji Bingxian clasped her hands in front of her chest, countless blue starlights burst out from the tips of her ten fingers, and in an instant, more than ten ice wheels whizzed towards Ji Ruochen.

Ji Ruochen was walking forward slowly, but suddenly his feet slipped, his body tilted, and he was about to fall off the endless cliff. But just like that, Ji Bingxian's more than ten swift and unparalleled ice wheels were unexpectedly missed by him.

Avoid it!

He finally stopped and turned around slowly, a smile appearing on his lips.

Ji Bingxian's heart froze. Somehow, she suddenly felt that Ji Ruochen's smile was a little ferocious.

Her eyes were slightly lowered, and a sky-blue sword blade slowly stretched out from the tip of her right index finger, and in a moment it turned into a two-foot finger sword.

"Are you finally willing to take action?" Ji Bingxian's voice was as calm as water. On this strange night, she had entered the realm of Bing Xin and was ready to fight with all her strength.

"It's okay to fight with you." Ji Ruochen smiled.

In Ji Bingxian's eyes, Ji Ruochen's figure suddenly blurred, and she swung her sword almost without thinking.

On the mountain road, I suddenly saw a 100-foot-long blue lightning crossing the cliff!

The afterglow of the electric fire reflected, but Ji Bingxian and Ji Ruochen were seen standing opposite each other, as if they had never moved. Only a few scattered black hairs brushed across Ji Bingxian's face, while a faint blood mark appeared on the side of Ji Ruochen's face, and a drop of blood slowly seeped out.

, slid down the cheek, and when it passed the corner of the mouth, Ji Ruochen rolled the tip of his tongue and licked away the drop of blood.

In the night wind, Ji Bingxian's clothes were flying like a fairy falling into the dust. But her heart was trembling at this moment, and she could hardly maintain her ice-hearted Taoist state. Just for a moment, Ji Ruochen only attacked but not defended, and his movements were weird and erratic, almost as if she had just sensed it.

She sensed that his attack was already in front of her! At that moment, Ji Bingxian had no choice. She put down half of the Taoist technique she had used, and could only backhand a sword and slash at Ji Ruochen's waist. Just when it looked like both sides would be injured, Ji Ruochen suddenly withdrew.

He moved his hand back to avoid blood splattering eight feet away.

In this round, although Ji Ruochen was suspected of sneak attack, he was able to advance and retreat, so he was really on a draw with Ji Bingxian.

Ji Bingxian closed her eyes and meditated. She had never encountered such a battle situation. In the past, fighting with fellow Taoists in the sect was mainly based on comparing magic weapons and Taoism. Has anyone ever fought hand to hand to the death like Ji Ruochen?

Ji Ruochen was not in a hurry and waited quietly.

Finally, Ji Bingxian's eyes slowly opened. With a crisp sound, she folded the solid ice sword from her fingertips and bit it between her teeth. She slowly raised her hands and brought them together above her head.

In the ten fingers that bloom like orchids, a round ice moon rises slowly, surrounded by vast smoke waves, and the waves of the sea are looming!

The Taoism of Ziwei Zhenren of Daodezong pays attention to learning from the nature of heaven and earth. When casting spells, the atmosphere is diverse and eclectic. The more magnificent the momentum when casting Taoism, the greater the power of the spell. Ji Bingxian is not as good as Shangqing, when casting spells

There is a vision of the moon rising in the sea. His pure Taoist heart is really amazing and brilliant.

"You haven't used the Dinghaishen Needle Iron yet?!" Ji Bingxian shouted. Her Shuiyue Bingxin Jue failed to activate. If Ji Ruochen doesn't use the magic weapon again, he will definitely not be able to use her Taoist technique to strike.

Ji Ruochen smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, instead there was coldness. The dark Dinghai Shen Zheng was behind him, but he did not follow Ji Bingxian's words and just took a step forward.

Ten feet away, one step at a time.

When his right foot landed, Ji Ruochen's figure as pale as smoke was already in front of Ji Bingxian, and he raised his elbow and hit her chest!

Ji Bingxian was shocked and angry in an instant. The four-dimensional battle armor flying around and the stars swimming around her were all powerful protective techniques. However, in front of Ji Ruochen, this supposedly foolproof defense somehow found a flaw.

Ji Ruochen bullied her into within three feet. His elbow was too frivolous, just like that of a street gangster, how could he have the dignity of a noble family? However, this completely unorganized elbow still made her angry for a moment.

I can't think of any good way to fight back hard.

"Shameless..."

Ji Bingxian didn't move her whole body, and suddenly flew back a hundred feet. The bright moon was hanging high between her fingers, and she was about to shine. Shrinking into an inch is an ordinary Taoist method, but being able to move like she is, it is another state.

.

Ji Ruochen hit the air with his elbow, and naturally took another step forward. With this step, his figure was like a wisp of smoke, and he appeared within three feet of Ji Bingxian. He stretched out his left hand lightly and picked up the ice sword held in Ji Bingxian's mouth. This

It was weird and frivolous at the same time. If he were to take the ice sword out of his mouth, how could Ji Bingxian have any dignity at all?

At the critical moment, Ji Bingxian swung her waist, but without moving her feet, her upper body suddenly fell backwards. The moonlight between her fingers was still bright, her eyes flashed, and two blue lines shot out, cutting towards Ji Ruochen's wrist. Although the blue line was thin,

If she had cut it properly, Ji Ruochen's entire palm would have been severed. And how quickly did the blue line move with her gaze? It was as if the line was coming from the heart, making it impossible to hide. This method is called Broken Star.

Eyes are Ji Bingxian's unique skill used in personal combat.

Ji Ruochen turned around and appeared on Ji Bingxian's left side. He moved his right hand to support Ji Bingxian's waist, pointed at the bright moon on her fingertips with his left hand, and even raised his right leg to hit the side of her leg.
