a dragon getting out of the sea

At this moment, the sky in the east was just turning white. Ye Wuchen got up quietly and looked at the sleeping Ningxue for a while. Two strange scars marred her face, but at the same time, she had a pure heart. He gently kissed her on the face and finally made up his mind. He stood up and walked out quietly.

"Are you leaving?" The old man sat on the tree stump that he had sat on for many years, and the walking stick in his hand tapped the ground lightly. Chu Jingtian stood in front of him with a face full of reluctance. After a while, he said eagerly, "Brother Ye, are you really leaving?"

Ye Wuchen nodded. "Help me take care of Ningxue. The road ahead may be full of danger, and I can't take her with me … When I settle down, I will come back to pick her up. If you can't wait, you can bring her to me when the time comes. "

Chu Jingtian was about to make a solemn vow, but the old man already said, "Don't worry, we won't leave this place within three years, and we won't let anyone bully Ningxue."

"Three … three years?" Chu Jingtian stared at the old man with his eyes wide open, and tears almost fell out. "Grandpa, you can't be serious, can you? Three years … three years! "

The old man ignored him and turned his hand over. A black object appeared in his palm, and he threw it to Ye Wuchen. Ye Wuchen caught it. It was a black ring, and there was nothing special about it except for a tiny "Chu" character printed on it.

"This is?"

"This is a storage ring. It's not a rare thing in the Tianchen Continent. It should be useful to you." The old man said calmly.

"A storage ring?" A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Wuchen's eyes. He nodded, put the ring on his left index finger, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Chu. I, Ye Wuchen, will definitely repay your kindness in the future."

"Repay? You've already repaid me. "The old man said with a smile. The wizardry barrier had been broken, and he gave them in the "cage" the freedom of rebirth. That was the true grace he had shown them.

Ye Wuchen didn't argue. He slowly turned around and waved his hand. "Grandpa Chu, Brother Daniu, help me take care of Ningxue. We will meet again soon."

He didn't look back, and slowly walked away. Chu Jingtian's hand froze in the air, and he looked at Ye Wuchen's back with tears in his eyes.

"Just like that?" Chu Jingtian murmured reluctantly. Then, he thought of something and rushed to the front of the old man. He asked pitifully, "Grandpa, you said that you won't leave for three years. Is that true? But I …"

"It's true, at least for three years, or never." The old man's eyes were deep, and he said calmly.

Chu Jingtian almost knelt down in front of the old man. He had been locked in this remote place for 15 years, and he had been looking forward to getting out one day. But this day came miraculously, and he got such a result. If the old man didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to escape no matter what method he used.

"He is a dragon coming out of the sea, and you, must be a tiger coming down the mountain. Before you become a tiger, you will never get out. "The old man said mercilessly, and his body, which had been sitting there, stood up straight.

"Tiger? Then when can I become a fierce tiger? "

"When you have a glimpse of the Heaven Stage, you will be qualified to get out of here." The old man looked into the distance and said calmly and majestically.

"Heaven Stage … But I haven't reached the Spirit Stage in five years, how can I reach the Spirit Stage in three years, and then break through to the Heaven Stage?" Chu Jingtian said with grievance.

"Humph!" The old man, who had always been calm, snorted coldly, and shouted angrily, "Every generation of our Chu Clan must stand at the peak of the Tianchen Continent's sword. Your father died young, and now all the Chu Clan's hope rests on you. If you don't even have the confidence to reach this goal, how can you be a son of the Chu Clan, how can you be my grandson!"

Chu Jingtian lowered his head in shame, and didn't dare to say a word.

The old man's crutch hit the ground, and with a crisp sound, the crutch broke into four pieces, and a slender sword shining with a faint blue light appeared in the old man's hand. He shouted in a low voice, and blue light burst forth from his sword. The sword blade, which was originally less than a meter long, suddenly grew a meter long blue sword light. Even the slender sword blade expanded to three times its original size.

"From today onwards, this sword belongs to you. If your strength is still below the name of this sword in three years, then I will take it back forever." The old man swung his hand, and the sword drew a blue arc in the air, and stabbed in front of Chu Jingtian. Chu Jingtian quickly pulled it out, and his hands trembled with excitement.

"Cangming Sword … Divine Cangming Sword!" Chu Jingtian's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he wanted to hug the sword in front of him and kiss it. But other than excitement, there was no fear on his face, and the old man almost couldn't help but slap him on the head.

"Remember, if you can defeat him in three years, then use this sword to rule the world, and help the weak. If you can't defeat him, then follow him forever, understand? "

"Yes, yes!" Chu Jingtian hurriedly agreed. His thick hands caressed the Cangming Sword again and again, as if he was caressing a flower maiden. Finally, his eyes sharpened, and his right arm danced, drawing a blue arc in the air with the Cangming Sword. Then, he patted his chest and vowed, "Don't worry, Grandfather. Just to be worthy of this Cangming Sword, I will make my strength reach Heaven Rank within three years!"

The old man nodded, and turned around, a faint smile on his lips. He had first glimpsed Heaven Rank when he was thirty, entered Heaven Rank when he was thirty-five, and reached God Rank when he was sixty. He was already seen as a peerless genius. Now, he hoped that his grandson would be able to break the legend he had created. That way, he would look up to him in admiration.

Early in the morning, Ningxue, who had grown fond of sleeping, stretched lazily. Then, she slowly opened her sleepy eyes, but found that her brother was no longer by her side. She pursed her lips unwillingly, because every time she woke up, the first thing she saw was him. Jumping down from the wooden bed, she tidied up her hair and clothes and ran out of the room.

"Big Brother!" She called out in a crisp voice, but there was no response. Outside the small room, there was only the familiar Chu Jingtian and the old man.

"Where's Brother?" Ye Ningxue rubbed her still groggy eyes and asked.

"That …" Chu Jingtian rubbed his head and said with a chuckle, "Brother Ye has already left."

"Left? Did he go to the forest over there? I'll go find Brother immediately. "

"No, no." Chu Jingtian hurriedly waved his hands and stammered for a long time before saying, "Little one, your brother has already left for Tenryū Province. He said that he will come back to pick you up very soon …"

Chu Jingtian's voice was stuck in his throat, and he could no longer speak. At the same time, his heart thumped violently, because her expression was not one of sadness or anxiety, but … fear.
