Mount Daliang, in the depths of an unusually steep mountain.
Normally, the silent mountain range would only emit earth-shaking screams at this moment.
Duanmu Qing was dressed in tattered clothing, her hair was dishevelled, and she was rushing all the way, crying out loudly: "Senior, Senior, I don't have any more talismans, I really don't have any more talismans." Behind him, seven to eight powerful Demonic Beast were roaring. Their faces were ferocious and fangs were popping out.
On the peak of the mountain, Chen Qisheng squinted her eyes and ignored him.
On the other side, Li Yi was also undergoing his own tempering. There were three to five powerful Demonic Beast surrounding him, and he was holding onto his black greatsword tightly. He was advancing in an orderly fashion, and although it would be difficult to defeat the five Demonic Beast in a short period of time, the five Demonic Beast could not do anything to him.
Chen Meng leaped onto the stage and arrived beside Chen Qisheng. He looked at him and asked, "Is father leaving?"
Chen Qisheng turned his face to the side, looked at her quietly, and laughed: "You have already grown up, and have enough power to protect yourself. It's time for father to do what father should do."
Her body trembled as she lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Old Chen continued, "Meng'er, you must remember that youth."
Chen Meng lifted her head and stared fixedly at Li Yi's figure. She could not understand why her father would help him two years ago and why he would hand over the Talisman Pen that looked as if it was his life.
But now, her father mentioned this. For a moment, the doubt in her heart deepened.
Chen Qisheng sighed, looked at the sky in the distance, his gaze deep and profound: "The times have changed, many things have changed, the only thing that has not changed is the ancient bloodline."
The ancient Black Swordsman.
He said the last sentence silently.
Two years ago, when he came into contact with Li Yi, he had already seen some clues. After understanding Li Yi for the past two years, he was even more certain that he was the person of this generation.
Some people said that this bloodline originated from a demon from the depths of hell, but he didn't believe them.
Chen Meng was baffled. He looked at his father, then at Li Yi.
It was only when dusk fell that this sort of training finally came to an end.
The group found a place to rest. Duanmu Qing was gasping for breath as she lay there looking like a salted fish. He was just a Symbol Master, not a martial artist or divine ability. This kind of training must have been hard on him.
But he had to admit that under the oppression of life and death, his comprehension of Talisman Dao s and the speed at which he drew talismans both had an overall increase.
In the tranquil night sky, the group of people sat cross-legged to rest.
Just at this moment, Chen Qisheng and Li Yi seemed to have agreed upon something and opened their eyes at the same time.
Chen Qisheng looked at him for a moment, then walked out with Li Yi following closely behind.
The two of them arrived at a mountaintop and stood there quietly, looking at the tranquil night sky.
After a long while, Old Chen opened his mouth and said, "I'm leaving."
Li Yi laughed. His eyes were calm, as if he had expected this to happen.
He continued, "Do me a favor and take care of Meng'er."
Li Yi asked: Where are you going?
Old Chen shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "It's very, very far away."
Li Yi opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to ask, how far was it? But when she thought of Wen Yuqing, she did not ask him.
Old Chen's eyes were cloudy as he spoke again: "Your Talisman Dao talent is not bad. Cultivate well. In the future, don't take out that Talisman Pen I gave you casually. Also, don't forget that sword you're carrying, your sword technique …" As he spoke, his voice stopped in surprise, because he had remembered.
If Li Yi was really that person from Mount Daliang and legends, then, no matter if it was the Talisman Pen, that sword, or that sword technique, they would all be unable to conceal his true identity.
Sooner or later, he would expose himself and appear in the Gods and Devils Continent in his true identity.
Perhaps, exposing himself too early might be a good thing for him.
Elder Chen shook his head. "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Li Yi thought for a while, then said seriously: "I will protect Meng'er, just like how you have protected her for the past ten or so years."
Elder Chen smiled, turned around, and looked at him. Finally, he left. After a few breaths, his figure disappeared.
Li Yi silently turned around and returned here.
Dawn arrived.
The three of them woke up one after another, but they did not see Chen Qisheng. Duanmu Qing slightly opened his mouth and looked around, but his heart seemed to be missing something, as he was feeling depressed and sad.
Chen Meng started sobbing as he bent over and hugged his knees.
Li Yi looked at her but did not say a word.
Only after a few hours did Chen Meng's mood recover, and they continued on their journey.
Duanmu Qing could not help but ask: "Has senior really left?"
Li Yi did not respond to him.
"Where are we going? Go back? "
"Hey, don't go so fast. Wait for me."
"Brother, brother …" Sis, Big Sis, say something! "
Ten days later, the three of them returned to the border region of the Mount Daliang, which was where they disembarked from the ship.
Suddenly, two figures came into view, and the three of them stopped at the same time.
Gradually, the two silhouettes neared. They were actually the two silhouettes that had followed Lin Zizi back in the day.
The two young men were startled when they saw Li Yi and the rest, and then revealed surprised expressions.
Seeing that, Li Yi's gaze turned cold, and he prepared to pull out his sword to move forward.
Duanmu Qing stopped him, chuckling as he said: "Big Brother, let me do it." Although he was unable to bring Chen Qisheng back to the clan, he had already made up his mind. He needed to get closer to Li Yi as much as possible.
Seeing that, the two men laughed coldly, because they could sense that Duanmu Qing's realm was only at the third level of the meridian, whereas they were already at the fifth level.
This was a terrifying difference.
But, the moment Duanmu Qing took out the talisman, the two of them were stunned, they ran without turning their heads, but the talisman had already exploded, releasing a ferocious beast that pounced on them, and instantly pierced through their bodies.
"Trash, how dare you act impudently in front of my big brother and big sister?!" Duanmu Qing spat out in disdain: "Hey, hey, big sister, wait for me."
To Talisman Master, the true realm is not equal to the realm of Talisman Dao, so sometimes, underestimating a Talisman Master means that you will die miserably.
The three of them lingered in this area, waiting for the descent of the spaceship.
Not long after, cultivators from all over the place arrived one after another. There were even a few who came at the same time as the old days.
Night gradually descended and everyone sat down cross-legged to rest.
The three of them were no exception.
Among them, Li Yi was not only resting, he was also attempting to break through the third meridian. This action of his attracted the attention of both Chen Meng and Yun Che.
One must know that two months ago, he had only been an Ethereal Opening cultivator.
And now, only two months had passed, and he was about to attempt to break through to the third meridian. This speed of cultivation …
An entire night had passed, yet Li Yi did not achieve the breakthrough he had hoped for. As his realm rose, he became more and more aware of the difficulty of cultivation.
Moreover, the black mark on his left arm was no longer able to help him break through the barrier, so he could only rely on himself.
He waited for three days.
Li Yi had also charged for three whole nights, and only until the dawn of the fourth day had arrived did he successfully step into the third sky of the sect.
What a monster!
Duanmu Qing looked at him, at a loss for words.
