Chapter 331

The jade box was only the size of a palm, just right to be held in one hand; it was originally bright and clear, soft and gentle, like dew dripping from the eaves, exuding a transcendent and ethereal air.

At this moment, however, it was filled with a fierce crimson light.

It had the momentum to pierce the sky!

Even just holding it in his hand, he felt his scalp tingle, as if he were being watched by some extremely evil object, making one inevitably feel mentally dazed.

Chen Hang opened the box lid and saw a fragment of a sword blade lying quietly inside, its edges sharp.

Although this object was motionless, the fierce and savage feeling that seemed to want to destroy all form and formless things in the world still made Chen Hang frown slightly.

"Abi Sword..."

Chen Hang saw that the golden light talisman wrapped around the Abi Sword fragment in the box had already lost eight or nine tenths of its power.

And the remaining one or two tenths were also in a precarious state, tottering.

It was as if in the next instant, it would be completely shredded by the fragment's shrill killing intent, never to be restored!

Seeing this situation, he did not hesitate, simply sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, followed the guidance of the secret manual, urged his true qi, and silently recited the mysterious words.

In just a fleeting moment, golden light suddenly arose, bit by bit, like chains firmly wrapping around the Abi Sword fragment, binding it tightly, impenetrable to wind and rain...

Three days later.

By the time the golden light talisman had once again covered the body of the fragment.

At this time, that fierce and sharp aura that seemed capable of piercing the sky gradually faded, sinking bit by bit into the jade box, returning to silence.

Two months ago, the object Zhou Ji handed to him before parting was precisely this mutton-fat white jade box.

And inside the white jade box.

Besides this Abi fragment, there was also a secret manual.

What was recorded in the secret manual was precisely to teach him how to urge his divine intent and harmonize his own qi with the Abi fragment.

Ultimately causing the weak residual thought of the fragment in the dark to be awakened, no longer resisting, opening its barriers, and automatically merging with the fragment he obtained from Junyao, becoming one and inseparable!

This was an extremely brilliant secret technique, and he did not know whose hand it came from.

When reading it.

Chen Hang often felt amazed.

He only felt that the wisdom of the person who created the technique was profound and vast, beyond comprehension, having already reached an unimaginable realm!

Since receiving the Abi Sword fragment from Junyao's hand, Chen Hang had already pondered it for a while.

If he were to encounter another fragment in the future, how should he refine the two into one?

If it were an ordinary magic treasure, one would only need to find a high-quality furnace and ask a few grandmaster refiners to take action, and it could be easily accomplished.

However, the Abi Sword was extraordinary...

It is said that this object came from the deepest part of the Gate of All Wonders, with an ancient and mysterious origin that cannot be judged by common sense.

When it first appeared in the world, it was not a complete body, possessing only sixty percent of its form.

But even so.

This incomplete object was still used as a personal sword by a Great Heavenly Official of the Dao Court, who valued it extremely highly.

When the Dao Court collapsed, that Great Heavenly Official was also implicated, and the already incomplete Abi Sword shattered once again, scattering to the four corners of the universe.

Such an ancient sword of slaughter.

Let alone using some high-quality furnace to refine it.

I fear that even figures like True Monarchs of the immortal path would find it difficult to melt its form!

The matter of recasting.

Was clearly a difficult problem.

But that secret manual could awaken the weak residual thought of the Abi fragment, causing it to take action itself to complete itself.

Viewed in this light.

This secret manual was clearly extremely profound...

However, awakening the residual thought of the Abi fragment was not a task that could be accomplished in a day.

If one were not careful, it would, as just happened, provoke the fierce nature of the fragment and injure oneself.

Chen Hang had no other way to deal with this, so he could only try slowly, treating it as tempering his mind and consciousness.

But for a meeting gift, to be an Abi Sword fragment, such a rare treasure.

For such a grand gesture.

Chen Hang also felt slightly surprised.

He did not know what kind of honorable status the person who wanted to take him into the sect had, to be able to take this object out so easily...

And this thought only arose briefly.

Chen Hang shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

Regardless, cultivation was ultimately his foundation.

External force could be relied upon for a while, but it could not be used for a lifetime.

Not to mention that the Yuchen senior who gave him the Abi fragment had not yet formally taken him into the sect.

Although he had gone through the East Sea incident, after all, with the cover of the thundercloud phenomenon and that large cauldron, I fear that in the eyes of the vast majority of outsiders, he was still just someone without much background, with a shallow foundation.

"Everything depends on the Four Courtyards Grand Competition a month from now..."

At this moment, the fierce nature of the Abi Sword had already subsided.

Chen Hang also slowly suppressed the various thoughts in his mind, lowered his eyelids slightly, and entered meditation.

At the same time, Jin Tingshan, Shigu Peak.

Wei Yang, who had been invited, did not see Jiang Tongyuan's figure after waiting for a long time; even with his cultivation of patience, he was slightly impatient.

Putting down his teacup, just as he was about to rise, he heard a loud laugh suddenly echo in his ears, startling him so that his pupils shrank and his sleeves moved without wind.

"You actually cultivated that Hidden Reclusion Technique of the Tianchi Jiang Clan?"

Wei Yang looked in the direction of the sound, but saw only emptiness.

Even when he reached out to touch it, he felt no substance.

Wei Yang's eyes flashed, and he could not help but sigh, saying:

"Even my spiritual sense cannot detect the slightest abnormality... It seems you are going to show off some skill in this Four Courtyards Grand Competition."

As the voice fell, Jiang Tongyuan's voice suddenly came from the main seat, which had been empty, carrying a hint of self-mockery, and then his figure slowly appeared:

"Although this Hidden Reclusion Technique of the clan is powerful, among Wei Daofu, He Lizi, and Shi You, who is easy to deal with?

Even if you and I specifically entered the clan's cave heaven to cultivate for the Grand Competition, if we were to face those three, I fear we would have no power to fight back."

Once this was said, Wei Yang was also silent, speechless.

"However, I have cultivated the clan's Hidden Reclusion Technique, and you have cultivated that Yin Elixir Technique of the Wei Clan... although we cannot compete with those three, there is still a chance for the lower seats!"

Jiang Tongyuan laughed aloud, his eyes shining with brilliance:

"If we can succeed this time, you and I won't have to wait for the next session, suffering for another twenty-four years.

This Four Courtyards Grand Competition might just be the time for us to make a name for ourselves!"

"Then I will accept your auspicious words."

Wei Yang's eyes flashed.

Inside a golden palace, Xiao Xiujing slowly rose.

He just raised his hand slightly, causing the ninety-nine eighty-one copper pillars in the palace to rumble and tremble.

Lightning flashed, and poisonous smoke surged!

"Another thunder technique has reached completion; I finally caught up..."

He clenched his fists, and a smile slowly appeared on the corners of his lips.

"Even if the top spot is unattainable, with my ability, just fighting for one of the top ten seats should not be difficult!"

Baishang Courtyard.

Shen Cheng, sitting with his eyes closed, had clouds above his head drifting leisurely, forming shapes like dragons, tigers, fruits, and immortal cranes.

The Dao intent was rich, ancient, and natural.

Inside Qingyang Courtyard.

Within a vast lake.

One could see green waves surging, tribulation water churning, slowly lifting a green-robed female Daoist, as if a dragon were swallowing all things, clouds and water paying homage to the sect, possessing a unique, stern demeanor that could not be transgressed!

And very soon.

A month's time passed in a flash.

On this day, in the four Yuchen courtyards, a melodious bell rang out in unison, cleansing heaven and earth, as if it were ringing right in one's ears.

Making people's expressions tighten involuntarily, and they returned their spiritual intent from meditation one after another.

Qingyang Courtyard.

Inside a magnificent cloud palace.

A stunningly beautiful woman, whose features were seven or eight parts similar to Wei Lingjiang's, was expressionless, only looking coldly in the direction of the bell, her gaze calm and without waves.

"The Four Courtyards Grand Competition, I have finally waited for this day."

She said.
