Chapter 56 Empty "Qingque, what's going on? Did you give Zhang Qian some powerful treasure? Just now, all the magic arrays and prohibitions in the Fourth Palace were suddenly destroyed, and the entire Fourth Palace has completely disappeared."Li Qingcheng asked Li Qingque with a hint of curiosity. As a great master who had achieved the state of Dharma, Li Qingque certainly didn't know what exactly happened in Shangyuan Bajing Palace, but she could still clearly sense the huge noise of the destruction of the Fourth Palace. When she heard the Sect Master's question, she thought for a moment and replied, "Sect Master, you also know that Zhang Qian is only at the Qi Refining stage. Even if I give him some powerful treasures, he can't use them. But before I accepted him, he had already comprehended a terrifying sword intent on his own. This sword intent seemed to be bestowed by heaven and has great power. Maybe it was his sword intent that exploded just now and destroyed the forbidden array of the Fourth Palace." Everyone present had a gleam in their eyes, and Li Qingcheng looked thoughtful. Guan Zhongxuan, who was standing next to him, glanced at Shangyuan Bajing Palace and said in disbelief, "Sword Intention? To comprehend sword intention, we sword cultivators must at least achieve the realm of mana, open up the sea of consciousness, and give birth to spiritual consciousness. Zhang Qian is only at the Qi Refining Realm and doesn't even have spiritual consciousness. How could he comprehend sword intention? Besides, the idea of heaven-given is too ridiculous. Junior Sister Li, are you hiding something? Now that the Fourth Palace is destroyed, Zhang Qian has committed a serious crime. What method did you give him? Just tell me!" Xiao Daoyi did not say anything. He had already learned some of Zhang Qian's background from his subordinates and knew that Zhang Qian had indeed comprehended a terrifying sword intent. "Interesting, could it really be that his sword intent burst out and destroyed the Fourth Palace? If so, what kind of sword intent did he comprehend? It is so powerful." Thinking of this, Xiao Daoyi felt a little unhappy, and a gloomy look flashed across his eyes. Even for a genius like him, it was only by chance a year after he achieved the realm of magic power that he comprehended the Void Sword Intent. After he comprehended the Void Sword Intent, Li Qingcheng praised him highly. However, he thought that even if he unleashed the Void Sword Intent with all his strength, he could not destroy the Taoist prohibition of the fourth palace magic array. At this moment, Li Qingque's eyebrows flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly to Guan Zhongxuan: "Brother Guan, when have I, Li Qingque, ever lied? If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do." Li Qingcheng smiled slightly: "Okay, the two of you stop arguing. If it is true that Zhang Qian has comprehended the profound sword intent and destroyed the Fourth Palace, it is actually a good thing for my Sword Gourd Palace. Now that the Yellow Springs Demon Sect is ready to make a move, my Sword Gourd Palace is about to flourish and produce many geniuses. It is better not to mention the past grudges." Li Qingque thanked the headmaster and looked intently at the Shangyuan Bajing Palace. He thought to himself, "I don't know what trump card my junior brother used. He actually destroyed the fourth palace's magic array with one strike. Fortunately, the headmaster was grateful for his talent, otherwise..."
Just as Li Qingque was worried, Zhang Qian walked to the center of the extremely spacious stone chamber in the fourth palace. There was an ancient stone platform, which was the gateway to the fifth palace. After thinking carefully for a while, Zhang Qian took a light step and stepped onto the stone platform. hum! An illusory portal appeared and pulled him in. Fortunately, the function of the stone platform was not destroyed, otherwise Zhang Qian would have to stop at the fourth palace. The world changed, and after passing through the portal, Zhang Qian felt darkness in front of his eyes and could not see anything. This was a darkness of the purest kind. Not only was one unable to see one's hand in front of one's face, but even when Zhang Qian looked around, he was shocked to find that the Fifth Palace was completely empty, with nothing there. Not only that, he took a few steps in the darkness, but strangely, he did not hear his own footsteps. "cough!" He coughed hard, but no sound came out. The entire Fifth Palace was extremely silent. "What's going on?" Buzz! The Heavenly Demon Pagoda turned, and Zhang Qian released Demon Three and asked, "What's going on? Why is the fifth palace empty?" Demon Three said respectfully, "Master Demon, the Fifth Palace is very strange. The Heavenly Demon guarding this palace is not in the Fifth Palace, but hiding in the gap between the Fifth Palace and the Sixth Palace. He and more than 2,000 Heavenly Demons are hiding there. They use their might to turn the Fifth Palace into a void. There is nothing in this palace, no sound, no light. If you stay in the Fifth Palace for too long, you will gradually lose all senses, and eventually even your mind will be completely destroyed." If Mo San himself was not connected to the Heavenly Demon Pagoda, Zhang Qian would never have been able to hear what Mo San said. "That's interesting. This means that the difficulty of the fifth palace is several times higher than before. It's such a void of nothingness that if you stay there for too long, you will lose all senses. It's quite difficult." After pondering for a while, Zhang Qian simply sat down cross-legged, not in a hurry to break the illusion of the Fifth Palace Demon. He was covered by the Demon Pagoda, which sprinkled protective magic light, so he did not worry about losing all his senses. "In the fourth palace, I used all my strength to destroy the forbidden array of the fourth palace. It may have caused a stir outside now, but I can't destroy the fifth palace directly. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain when I get out. It is better to devour the Heavenly Demon Essence in my hand first." Having made up his mind, Zhang Qian first took the demon essence that was ground out from the fourth palace of the demon. The fourth palace is the palace of killing, where disciples of the Sword Gourd Palace kill and hone their sword skills all year round. After a long time, not only did the disciples of the Sword Gourd Palace get trained and grow in the fourth palace, but even the demons in the fourth palace also made great progress. In this way, the demon essence ground out by the fourth palace demon is far more powerful than the essence ground out by the other three palace demons. The demon essence that was ground out by the demon guarding the fourth palace even carried a hint of murderous intent. This demonic essence, which was as thick as a little finger, was as real as substance. Zhang Qian looked at it for a while and then opened his mouth to swallow it.
Bang! The demonic essence exploded directly and turned into a magnificent stream of original air, instantly merging into the deep of Zhang Qian's blood. This time the fusion was very smooth and the demonic essence did not resist at all. Rumble! As the surging blood and energy circulated, the powerful original force filled the deep part of Zhang Qian's blood. That was not all. When all the original force was completely integrated into the ancient dragon loach blood, a trace of blood-red murderous aura emerged. This trace of murderous aura traveled around Zhang Qian's blood and then entered his soul. Chi! The Zhu Xian sword intent that he comprehended suddenly manifested itself, devouring this trace of murderous aura completely, and then the Zhu Xian sword intent increased slightly. A wisp of barely visible black smoke spurted out of his mouth. Zhang Qian circulated his qi and blood for a while and directly released all the remaining demonic essence. Nearly two thousand demonic essences floated up and down in the endless darkness, and were then swallowed up by Zhang Qian three times in succession. (End of this chapter)
