Chapter 198 Exclusive Second Floor, Sword of Fire
According to the speculation of this group of monks, Chen Sheng could only hold on for a quarter of an hour at most before the Wanjian Tower would determine that his life was in danger. In order to ensure the safety of those who broke into the tower, they would then expel them out of the tower.

Now a quarter of an hour has passed, and Chen Sheng is sitting upright as intact as before, with a rosy complexion and a slight smile on his lips, and he doesn't look like he was hurt by the sword energy at all.

Just when they thought that Chen Sheng had some magical power to resist the sword energy, Chen Sheng suddenly coughed violently, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Chen Sheng opened his eyes and saw many nearby cultivators looking at him. He thought to himself, "As expected, I've made fun of you all. I thought that by drawing sword energy into my body, I could better cultivate sword intent, but I didn't expect that my own realm was not high enough and I would hurt my body. You should take this as a warning."

After hearing what he said, someone was quite disappointed and said, "Tsk, you don't need to remind me, everyone here knows this, and I thought you mastered some profound secret method, but I didn't expect you to be just a reckless man."

"I have been in the Ten Thousand Swords Tower for more than ten years, and I have never seen a cultivator who can directly draw sword energy into his body."

"I said this kid wouldn't last more than a quarter of an hour, and look, it's true."

Chen Sheng laughed along, secretly amused in his heart.

The process of him practicing the Qingling Huaqi Jue to absorb the sword energy went relatively smoothly, and he was not injured at all. His previous performance was only forced out by his physical cultivation.

If there is a shortcoming, it is only that the level of Qingling Huaqi Jue is not high, and the efficiency of refining sword energy is not high. However, even so, it is much more efficient than simply resisting the sword energy.

The reason why he did this was because he considered that if he openly absorbed the sword energy in public, it would definitely attract the covetousness of those who were interested if it were to get out.

The Chen family has no backing, it is just an ordinary family of gods. To say more, it is at most a family of spiritual plants.

If this really attracts the covetousness of big shots, the Chen family cannot afford it with its current strength.

Chen Sheng simply did what the others did, letting the sword intent leave his body and resisting the sword energy from the raindrops dripping from his head from time to time.

Of course, this is just superficial work. When he sees an opportunity, he will take the opportunity to show a weak look and act as if he can't bear it. Then he lets the raindrops fall on his body, and then reluctantly withdraws from the range of the rain and recovers his state.

This situation is not uncommon. There are several cultivators who have just entered the second level. Since their own sword intent realm has not been improved, most of them will behave like this, and it did not attract the attention of others again.

Although he seemed to be recovering his body, he was actually silently refining his sword intent. With two approaches working together, the effect was quite good.

When he was practicing with great enthusiasm, a thin figure walked in from the second floor.

"Brother Chen!"

As soon as Situ Li stepped onto the grassland, he saw Chen Sheng practicing silently not far away, and hurried to meet him.

"Don't step in. With your realm, it is difficult to resist the sword intent here."

Chen An reminded him kindly. He rolled his eyes slightly, and with an idea in his mind, he silently transmitted a message to him.

Unexpectedly, Situ Li was startled when he heard this, and then he showed an expression that said I understand. He immediately became angry and said with his eyes wide open: "How dare you look down on me, young master? How can I be so unbearable!"

As he said this, he took a step towards the grass and stepped into the area where the raindrops were falling.

Seeing this, Chen Sheng hurried forward to stop him, blocking him outside the grass, and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. It would be safer to go back and practice for a few years before coming to the second level."

"It's fine that the elders in my family look down on me, but you, a cultivator who came out of nowhere, dare to stop me. I'm going in today, what can you do to me!"

This action immediately angered Situ Li, and he was about to take action.

Chen Sheng quickly stepped back and bowed to the nearby monks, saying, "Everyone has sharp eyes. I kindly reminded you that it was the boy from the Situ family who didn't know what was good for him. You all saw the conflict, so you have to help me be a witness."

When he said this, the monks present all lowered their heads and frowned, and did not respond at all.

Some timid monks even had the idea of ​​quitting, fearing that they would be involved: "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do at home, so I can't continue practicing today."

"Oh, by the way, my second aunt is about to give birth, I have to go back and see her."

“If you are tired today, come back another day. Only by combining work and rest can you go further.”

As soon as they were asked to bear witness, these monks, fearing that they would be involved in any cause and effect with the Situ family, immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and within a moment, they disappeared without a trace.

Seeing that there were only two of them left in the first area of ​​the second floor, Situ Li's expression turned from anger to smile and said, "Brother Chen, I did perform well just now."

"It's okay, you go back first, I want to continue practicing."

Chen Sheng said casually that he had just communicated with the other party by telepathy in order to put on such a show to scare the others away so that he could start practicing.

Since he had helped Situ Li win the gambling fight before, there was nothing wrong in asking him to do him this small favor.

"I just passed the first level, so I'm going to give it a try."

"You can't bear the sword energy here. It's better to go back to the first floor and find the iron sword to sharpen it for a while before coming back. It will be more suitable."

"It doesn't matter. I won't get hurt in the tower anyway. I'll give it a try."

Situ Li didn't believe it and rushed into the rain area.

Sure enough, he died as soon as he tried it. After a few breaths, he disappeared.

No need to ask, he must have been teleported out by the Ten Thousand Swords Tower.

Chen Sheng shook his head slightly, without paying any attention, and then walked into the depths of the grassland, chose a suitable place, sat down cross-legged, let the raindrops fall on his body, silently refining the sword energy contained in it.

The sword energy here could not cause any harm to Chen Sheng.

After practicing step by step, he soon approached the center of the grassland. The sword intent in his body also increased, and his strength improved a lot.

As for the drop of water in the center, Chen An said nothing, swung his sword, and cut it down in a few encounters without any delay.

Soon, he stepped into the second area of ​​the second floor.

What comes into view is the Milky Way hanging upside down from the sky, as if you have come to a starry sky.

But if you look closely, you will find that this is not the Milky Way, but small rivers swirling down from the sky.

The sword energy contained in these rivers is obviously stronger than the water drop sword intent in the previous area.

The sword is like water, sometimes calm as a mirror, sometimes surging like a river, changing its shape and speed from time to time.

The sword intent is continuous, and the flowing water sword intent emphasizes the continuity between attacks, just like flowing water, one sword after another, without interruption, forming a powerful offensive.

Chen Sheng paused for a moment, then dived into the river, absorbing the more abundant water sword intent here.

He had the Qingling Huaqi Jue, so he was naturally not afraid of the sword energy here. He slowly snatched the sword energy flowing in the river and refined it into his own strength.

In just a few days, Chen Sheng relied on the endless sword energy here to improve his swordsmanship again, and at the same time he adapted to the environment here.

At the right time, he headed towards the third area again.

Unlike the previous two areas, Chen Sheng was now in a vast area of ​​water fog, and the water fog had a strong effect of isolating spiritual consciousness. The visibility was only within a few feet. As he went deeper, the visibility would become lower.

This is the Mist Hidden Sword Intent, a unique sword intent that pursues a concealed, mysterious and elusive style, causing the enemy to lose their way in the mist and eventually be defeated quietly. Many monks with good sword skills have been defeated by the elusive Mist Hidden Sword Intent.

However, this kind of environment has two great benefits for Chen Sheng.

Firstly, the concealment here is very good. Even if he starts practicing, he is not afraid of being discovered by other monks who come to the tower together.

Secondly, the Mist Hidden Sword Intention relies on water mist and is almost everywhere. Even if he does not move, he can still refine the sword energy to his heart's content.

What is poison to others may be medicine to me. That's all it is.

As the sword intent gradually grew stronger, Chen Sheng also gained a deep understanding of the various forms of application of the sword intent of water.

Before, it was just attached to the sword power, which was just a relatively superficial way of using it. When the sword intent is cultivated to a high level, relying solely on pure sword intent, it is not inferior to any magical power.

As time passed slowly, Chen Sheng relied on the Qingling Huaqi Jue to continuously strengthen his sword intent, and was gradually approaching the core area of ​​the Wuyin Sword Intent. Soon, he easily passed the second floor and arrived at the third floor of the Wanjian Tower.

As expected, the third layer was the sword intent of fire. The small flames bursting out from the ground everywhere contained powerful sword intent.

But contrary to expectations, the raindrops from the sky fell again.

Chen Sheng also understood that this level was doubly blessed by the sword intent of water, fire and sword. Every time he broke through a level, the sword energy he had experienced before would be superimposed on the current level of the tower.

If that's the case, then at the ninth level, the eight attributes of sword intent - gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder and ice - will all gather there?

However, these are all things for the future, and Chen Sheng turned his attention to the present.

The combination of water and fire has increased the difficulty a lot compared to the previous level.

When the two layers of sword intent are intertwined, it is not a simple matter of one plus one, the power will be even greater.

It's like, generally speaking, two cultivators at the first level of the Spirit Transformation Realm cannot defeat a cultivator at the second level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, even though the total mana of the former exceeds that of the latter, they just cannot defeat him.

Outside the Ten Thousand Swords Tower, in front of the Ten Thousand Swords List.

Situ Li was unable to withstand the second level of water drop sword energy, so after being teleported out, he did not leave.

Out of curiosity, he came to the Ten Thousand Swords List, wanting to see which level of the tower Chen Sheng could reach.

According to his estimation, he might be able to reach the third level, but the chance of reaching the fourth level would not be too high. After all, Pei Zitian, a leader of the younger generation, only stopped at the third area of ​​the third level last time.

When he arrived at the Ten Thousand Swords List, Situ Li did not find Chen Sheng's name. Chen Sheng was still on the second level at this time, which was expected.

But after waiting for half a month, Chen Sheng did not come out.

"Aha!"

Situ Li yawned out of boredom and almost fell asleep, losing his patience.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise: "Brother Chen Sheng has made it to the Ten Thousand Swords Ranking, hahahaha, I said this kid can do it!"

Hearing this, Situ Li was startled and all his sleepiness disappeared. Chen Sheng?
Could it be someone with the same name?
But when he got closer, the words "Chen Sheng" at the end of the Ten Thousand Swords List were extremely eye-catching. He glanced to the side and found that the man had already rushed to the third area of ​​the third floor of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower.

He suppressed his excitement and doubts and asked the excited middle-aged male cultivator in front of him, "Excuse me, sir, who is this Chen Sheng?"

Wang Daning saw someone talking to him, so he turned around and saw that this young man had already reached the level of a Spiritual Transformation at such a young age. He immediately did not dare to look down on him and said, "My fellow Daoist, this person is someone I know. He is Chen Sheng from the Spiritual Plant Family in Feiyun City. There should not be another Spiritual Transformation cultivator named Chen Sheng in the city."

This all makes sense, Situ Li said to himself.

He had not talked much with Chen Sheng before, but they knew each other's basic information. Now he was sure that this "Chen Sheng" he was with was the same person as the "Chen Sheng" he knew!
I didn't expect Brother Chen to be so powerful that he could reach the third level and the third area in one breath. He is not inferior to Pei Zitian at all.

If he grows up in the future, he may have the potential to advance to the realm of refining emptiness.

Situ Li figured out the key to this, and immediately put aside all distractions, quietly continued to stay in front of the Ten Thousand Swords List, waiting for Chen Sheng to come out of the tower, intending to take the opportunity to win him over.

He grew up in a large family, so he naturally knew how to treat a cultivator with such potential.

At this time, Chen Sheng was in the Wanjian Tower.

Before his eyes, there were two surging torrents and flames circling, like two water dragons and fire dragons, roaring towards him.

When he reached the third floor, Chen Sheng discovered that although the third floor's fire sword intent could not be directly absorbed to strengthen his own sword intent, it could better sharpen the sword intent and make it more condensed.

At the same time, he vaguely realized that in addition to the sword intent of water in his body, there seemed to be a small flame stirring, like the sword intent of fire that had just sprouted.

It's no wonder. As more fire sword energy is absorbed, the fire sword intent will naturally be born.

For other cultivators, this is something they would never dare to think about, but with the refining of the Qingling Huaqi Jue, it has become a reality.

Facing the water dragon and the fire dragon in front of him, Chen Sheng smiled faintly, and the sword intent in his body gushed out. He confronted the opponent vaguely, and it seemed that they were evenly matched.

However, as time went on, the water dragon's body began to shrink and became visibly smaller.

After absorbing a part of the sword intent in the water dragon, the sword intent in Chen Sheng's body became stronger.

If one side increases and the other decreases, the balance will be broken.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have run away if he encountered this situation, but the opponent's sword energy was not controlled by anyone, so he would die.

Most of the sword intent in the water dragon was absorbed, and in the blink of an eye, the fire dragon gradually became weak.

Chen Shengli used some tricks to get enough of it.

He stopped only when he felt that the sword intent was becoming unstable.

Immediately, he killed both dragons with a single blow, causing them to dissipate before his eyes.

At the place where the second dragon disappeared, a staircase suddenly appeared, which was obviously the way to the fourth floor.

Chen Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stepped forward.

What came into view was a sky full of wind and sand blowing towards him, scratching Chen Sheng's face and causing him pain. He could not use the monks in the tower, so he could only rely on his sword power to resist.

The sandstorm here was violent and fierce, mixed with water, fire and sword intent, which gradually dissipated his sword intent, and his momentum was subtly weakening.

However, this is a good thing for Chen Sheng.

In the previous level, he absorbed too much water and fire sword energy, which caused his own sword intent to be somewhat superficial and not well honed. This sandstorm came at the right time, and he could use it to hone his water and fire sword intent.

However, when he turned around, he saw a figure in the distance, forging ahead in the sandstorm.

"Huh? Isn't that Pei Zitian? Why is he still in the first area of ​​the fourth floor?"
