"He's actually breaking through again?" Yan Le stared at Zuo Mo in the medicine cauldron, then suddenly paused, tilting his head and muttering to himself: "Huh, why did I use 'again'?"

  No one paid attention to him, and everyone looked at Zuo Mo with a serious expression.

  Zuo Mo's face shone with an even brighter golden light, layer upon layer of golden light rippling like waves. His hair began to turn gold from the roots, bit by bit. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was enduring great pain. The dissatisfaction on Shi Feng Rong's face instantly vanished, replaced by dense concern.

  "What is it after 'Diamond Sutra' and 'Golden Robe'?" asked Pei Yuanran.

  "Cherish words like gold: 'Red Lotus Golden Liquid'."

  "Refining the body..." Pei Yuanyan's expression turned nostalgic, as if recalling something: "At which layer can one give birth to a divine ability?"

  "Wu," Xin Yan replied.

  "The fifth floor." Pei Yuanran nodded, indicating understanding.

  "With his speed, the fifth floor is not far off." Yan Le added a sentence: "I'm quite curious, if this kid reaches the fifth floor, what kind of divine ability will he produce?"

  Others didn't say a word; for them, refining their bodies was quite unfamiliar.

  The entire Kunhua Realm is the world of sword cultivators, and sword cultivators only cultivate swords, without asking about other things. Those who are good at refining their bodies are Zen cultivators, and the holy land of Zen cultivators is in Xuan Kong Realm.

  Zen practitioners are another major category of cultivators, who mainly cultivate themselves and seek self-enlightenment. Among all the cultivators, if we talk about hardship, Zen practitioners are probably the most difficult. However, the mind method of Zen is mostly simple and clear, easy to start with, as long as you have perseverance and determination, you can achieve something. But another characteristic of it is that it's easy at first but difficult later on, the further you go, the more difficult the cultivation becomes, and the more you need great perseverance and wisdom to succeed.

  But it's rare for someone like Zuo Mo to cultivate so quickly to the fourth level.

  The most dreaded thing in Zen meditation is the supernatural power. The so-called supernatural power refers to the natural understanding of some abilities after reaching a certain level of cultivation. This point makes other cultivators envy, as long as they reach a certain level, they will inevitably have supernatural powers. However, what kind of supernatural power it is will vary from person to person and from time to time. Some people try to find the rules behind it, but so far, no one has been able to grasp its mystery.

  Even if Zu Mo has now reached the fifth layer of "Jin Gang Wei Yan", and has gained spiritual powers, not one of the several people present, including Pei Yuan Ran, would be happy.

  They are sword cultivators!

  If one says that Zen cultivation is peaceful, then sword cultivation is mostly solitary and pure. They only believe in their swords. As the strongest attacking cultivators, sword cultivators indeed have enough capital to be proud of. The more famous the sect or school, the more this temperament will be revealed.

  The Wu Kong Jian Men may be just a small sect now, but after all, it was prosperous in the past. Compared to ordinary small sects, there is still a big difference. People like Pei Yuanran look down on other sects, let alone consider cultivation methods outside of sword repair.

  The more they achieve in their physical training, the more uncomfortable they will become.

  The ink-like liquid gradually became clear and transparent, the slightly trembling Left Mo also gradually stopped, and the dark golden face had a deeper texture. It was as if there was a layer of dark gold on his face before, but now it seemed that the entire face was cast in dark gold.

  Still that expressionless face, yet with an added air of unspeakable dignity.

  Bai Yuanyan and several others looked even more unsightly, if not for Zuo Mo Tian's exceptional talent and being a disciple of their own sect, they would have kicked him down the mountain long ago.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw four seniors standing in front of him, looking at him with unpleasant gazes. The joy of just breaking through the fourth layer of "Jin Gang Wei Yan" was still lingering in his chest, but the ugly faces of the four seniors instantly pulled him back to reality.

  He didn't know what he had done to offend the master, but he knew that at this moment, he mustn't add fuel to the fire. The less said, the fewer mistakes; not saying anything was even better, so he wisely shut his mouth.

  "Alright, your injury has almost healed. Your master has also put in a lot of effort for you. You must perform well and not disappoint your master's expectations. At the upcoming trial by combat, if you don't enter the top ten, go to your Second Master's place to receive punishment." The sect leader coldly snorted and threw down this sentence before turning around and leaving.

  Second Master... punishment...

  Zuo Mo's gaze involuntarily turned to Second Master, and he saw the cold glint in his eyes. Even though he was currently immersed in the scalding medicinal waters, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit.

  Lian Shifu and Yan Le Shibo also turned around and left without saying a word.

  Zuo Mo was confused and couldn't make sense of what was happening. What's going on here?

  But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what was going on. However, he quickly put this problem aside because he suddenly remembered the last sentence that Palm Door had left behind.

  Top Ten...

  Is the sect leader drunk today? Or did I hear it wrong? Zuo Mo has been staring at the medicine cauldron for half a day without any reaction.

  Dongfu, the deep night fell, and the colorful lights almost filled every corner of Dongfu. Due to the Sword Trial Meeting, Dongfu became more prosperous than ever before, but it did not calm down with the arrival of nightfall, still being extremely noisy. Various vendors' calls were mixed together, and the dark sky occasionally saw the light of various swords and treasures, while some spiritual beasts' cries could also be heard from afar.

  "Why did you stop me?" a plainly dressed monk asked in a low voice of the white-clad man in front of him.

  The man in white robes said faintly: "You are not Wei Ping." It was surprisingly Lin Qian, whom Zuo Mo had met at the Duo Bao Flying Pavilion.

  The monk suddenly smiled: "You are really good at joking, if I am not Wei Ping, who is?"

  "You should ask my sword." Lin Qian sighed softly.

  Wei Ping's face changed dramatically, his eyes revealing a fierce and sinister look, as he sent a cluster of pale purple mist hurtling towards Lin Qian.

  A flash of sword light!

  The cold sword light cut through the pale purple mist as if it had encountered no obstruction, and went straight to Wei Ping's seat.

  Ahh!

  Wei Ping's eyes widened in anger, and he let out a roar that was unlike any human sound. His body rapidly expanded!

  Pfft!

  The sword light in mid-air suddenly accelerated, Wei Ping's eyes bulged outward, and his roar was abruptly cut short.

  There was a small hollow under his chest, and strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed down.

  "The tenth." Lin Qian said softly, but his eyes were filled with worry.

  A residential building in Dongbu Island.

  Lao Luo is dead.

  "Find out who did it?"

  "Just like before, one sword and it's fatal, must be the same person. We're being targeted."

  "No wonder. The commotion of the white day star is too big and can't be hidden from people. Has our matter made any progress?"

  "No one was found. If it's really someone important, they would have found a way to contact us. Could it be..."

  "Don't think nonsense. The daytime star can't be fake. Although I don't know what that noble thinks, we should do our own part."

  "Yes."

  "Keep a close eye out, you all need to be careful and hide. Only those who can sneak in will come, just the few of us. The next batch won't arrive for several months. Now that the situation in the Tianxue realm is at a stalemate, we must find this senior as soon as possible!"

  "Yes!"

  A small shop, Zuomo was discussing with Su. Since Su guaranteed that he could enter the top ten, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it. However, entering the Songtao Pavilion in Dongfudian, the location would be random, and no one knew where it would be.

  This information was still sufficient for Zuo Mo, and it was clear that she thought as long as she provided enough information to Zuo Mo, he would find a corresponding solution. The match between Zuo Mo and Chao An had fully proven his ability in this regard.

  Zuo Mo carefully inquired about various issues regarding the Sword Testing Conference, because he had previously been completely uninterested in it, so he didn't even have a basic understanding of it, and asked extremely detailed questions.

  Can't help but say, Zuo Mo is an extremely pragmatic guy. Once he determines that he needs to win, he will think of every possible way.

  "It's very convenient, just make two paper cranes and we each hold one. Engrave a yin-yang guiding symbol array on the paper crane, and you can quickly find each other's location." Zuo Mo shamelessly said with a thick face: "As soon as I go in, I'll stay in place, you need to find me at the fastest speed."

  "Good." Su nodded without hesitation. However, Zuo Mo's shamelessness still left her speechless for a moment. Ordinary men, including her senior fellow apprentice Gu Yongping, would all be full of pretensions in front of her. But Zuo Mo was completely like a scoundrel who relied on others for food, and he didn't even have the slightest bit of awkwardness about it.

  After the two men had settled on all the details of their connection, Zuo Mo finally left.

  Zuo Mo had just left when Gu Yongping walked out from behind.

  "Even if you help him, he still can't get into the top ten." Gu Yongping said with certainty.

  "You want to be an enemy with me?" Su said coldly.

  "How could that be?" Gu Yongping smiled and said, "However, this time's sword trial gathering has all the young masters of Tianyue realm gathered here. He may have talent, but his strength is not enough."

  "What's it to you?" Her tone was still icy, but she knew she was just putting on a brave face. She also knew that her senior brother was waiting for her to ask him.

  But she remained silent.

  Gu Yongping glanced at her and stood up to leave.

  Even with the help of Su, Zuo Mo was certain that his chances of entering the top ten were still very small. After all, he was the weakest among all the cultivators who had entered Songtian Pavilion, and anyone who saw their opponent would never be polite.

  I'm just a tender little white sheep rushing into a lion's den!

  But thinking about the method I thought of...

  Zuo Mo was unexpectedly eager in his heart!

  Empty Mountain

  "Have you heard? The sect leader wants Left Uncle to break into the top ten! If not, he'll have to go to Xin Yan Shu Shu's place to receive punishment!"

  "Heavens! Is Shifu Xing Yan being unreasonable? Has the Sect Leader been displeased with Left Shixiong recently? This is no better than directly punishing him."

  "That's not possible, this is also too unrealistic."

  "Alas, having offended the leader, Left Uncle's days are probably going to be tough from now on."

  ……

  Xiao Guo heard these rumors and felt as if something was stuck in her heart. She hadn't seen Zuo Shixiong for several days. Since the last time Shixiong returned from outside, he had sealed off the valley entrance and stayed inside alone, and still hadn't come out until now.

  A hint of worry flashed across her eyes.

  She wasn't worried that her senior brother would be punished, as an inner disciple, she was very clear about her senior brother's position in the eyes of the sect leader. Punishment wasn't a big deal, what she was worried about was that her senior brother would go all out because of this. She knew that although her senior brother usually seemed to only care about earning crystal stones, if he really wanted to do something, he would go all out.

  Desperate senior brother is very scary...... But if it's because of this and gets hurt again......

  Xiao Guo bit her lip tightly.
