After an unknown amount of time, Fang Chen finally woke up. However, he discovered that he was in a dark space.

"Where is this place?" Fang Chen asked in a low voice.

No one replied him. The entire dark space was filled with an endless dark aura, and Fang Chen stood quietly on the ground of the dark space, appearing extremely conspicuous.

"Huff … Huff …"

A gust of wind blew past. Fang Chen felt that there was a gloomy and eerie atmosphere around him.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake, and miserable wails came out one after another, just as Fang Chen was wondering, an illusionary figure suddenly appeared in front of Fang Chen.

Without saying a word, the illusionary figure immediately started his fierce attack on Fang Chen.

"Water-Fire Sword Art."

Seeing that, Fang Chen did not dare be careless. He took out the Star-Hidden Sword, and displayed the Water-Fire Sword Art's sixth layer, and a ray of sword light instantly smashed onto the figure's body.

Bang Bang Bang...

The more they fought, the more shocked Fang Chen was because he realised that the sword techniques that the figure was using were all the sword techniques of the Baimei Sword Sect.

"Could he be the sect master of all the generations of Baimei Sword Sect?"

In the battle that followed, it finally verified Fang Chen's thoughts. The illusionary figure in front of him was indeed one that belonged to the upper echelons of Baimei Sword Sect, he had suppressed his cultivation and fought an intense battle with Fang Chen.

After fighting for an entire two hours, during an attack, Fang Chen's Star-Hidden Sword pierced through the illusionary figure and in the end, the illusionary figure disappeared into the darkness.

After this illusory figure disappeared, another illusory figure also appeared.

Just like this, Fang Chen continued to fight, even if he was tired, he could not stop, because if he did not fight, he would be killed by the illusions.

A day later, Fang Chen was completely exhausted, but he still continued to fight.

Three days later, Fang Chen had already killed over thirty illusory silhouettes, and at this time, he finally had the upper hand.

Furthermore, during the course of the battle, Fang Chen discovered that the power in his body was gradually increasing.

Of course, Fang Chen had no idea that the reason why his power had increased was because of that pitch-black ball of light.

One day, two days, three days, half a month, one month.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed within the dark space. In this month, Fang Chen's cultivation had risen from the early fourth stage of the Qi Hai realm to the middle stage, and then to the late stage.

This made Fang Chen very excited. The illusionary figures fighting with him was helping him digest the boundless energy.

Of course, the peak of the fourth stage of the Qi Hai realm was still not the end. Almost every sect master in every generation had fought with Fang Chen before.

Finally, on a certain day two months later, Fang Chen met an illusory figure that was even more powerful than the one from before.

Bang

With just a casual wave of the illusionary figure's hand, he had suppressed Fang Chen, causing him to be extremely shocked.

"Sixth floor of the Water-Fire Sword Art."

Fang Chen unleashed Water-Fire Sword Art level 6, but was still unable to withstand the attack of the illusionary figure.

Puff …

The illusionary figure's wrist trembled, and a blade instantly shot out. Fang Chen tried his best to block, but in the end, he was unable to, and was injured by the blade.

At the same time, the power of the black ball of light absorbed by Fang Chen's body was also completely absorbed by his body.

Rumble …

At this time, Fang Chen's cultivation had reached the Fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.

After his breakthrough, Fang Chen's strength increased explosively, and he instantly unleashed the sixth level of Water-Fire Sword Art. A wild sword light pierced towards the illusionary figure.

Crash …

Just then, countless sword aura suddenly appeared in Fang Chen's mind, in the next moment, Fang Chen slashed out once again.

Seventh floor of the Water-Fire Sword Art.

After an entire two months, Fang Chen finally cultivated the Water-Fire Sword Art to the seventh level.

The Water-Fire Sword Art of the seventh floor, combined with the level of his Fifth level of the Qi Hai realm, made Fang Chen's strength skyrocket. With a thrust of his sword, he directly pierced through the illusory figure.

"I never thought that such an outstanding disciple would actually appear in my Baimei Sword Sect."

After this illusory figure left behind these ancient words, it collapsed.

When the illusionary figure dispersed, Fang Chen suddenly disappeared into the darkness.

Crash …

Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and surveyed his surroundings. He was still in the tomb that he entered previously and everything that he experienced in the past two months seemed to be like a dream.

"Are you dreaming?"

Fang Chen thought in his heart, and then he checked his own body, and realised that his cultivation had truly reached Fifth level of the Qi Hai realm.

After that, Fang Chen used the Water-Fire Sword Art, and realised that the Water-Fire Sword Art had also reached the seventh floor, which made him extremely happy.

"It's not a dream." Fang Chen slightly said.

"Could it be that it was because I absorbed the power from the black ball of light that the previous sect master of Baimei Sword Sect appeared in the form of a shadow?" Fang Chen guessed in his heart.

But, after pondering for a moment, he did not understand the reason, so Fang Chen did not think anymore, since he had already achieved his objective in entering the Ancestral Land.

His cultivation had broken through, his Water-Fire Sword Art had broken through, and the current him, was more than enough to challenge eighth level of Qi Hai realm.

No, to be exact, he could easily crush a practitioner in the early stage of eighth level of Qi Hai realm and challenge a practitioner in the middle stage of the eighth level of Qi Hai realm.

In the past two months, his improvement had been so rapid that even he himself felt it was inconceivable.

In the end, Fang Chen calmed himself down and prepared to leave.

At this time, outside the Baimei Sword Sect's ancestral grounds, Jian Wufeng and the Heavenly Sword Son were looking anxious.

"It's already been two months, and Fang Chen hasn't made the slightest of movements. Could he be …" As he spoke, his face darkened.

"Senior Brother, Fang Chen's talent is outstanding, moreover he has that strange long sword, nothing will happen to him." Jian Wufeng comforted his Senior Brother.

"Luo Yu hasn't left for the past two months and has been waiting for Fang Chen to appear. I'm guessing if there's some kind of scheme behind this?" Tian Jian Zi changed the topic and said softly.

"Who cares what conspiracy he's plotting, we can talk about it after Fang Chen comes out." Jian Wufeng said.

Just as the two of them were talking, the ancestral grounds suddenly shook and the doors of the palace opened. Seeing how Tian Jian Zi used his methods, he opened the Heaven's End Sword Formation.

In the next moment, a figure flew out from the palace. Tian Jian Zi closed his Heaven's End Sword Formation and discovered that it was Fang Chen.

"Fang Chen, you're finally out." Heavenly Sword Child said.

"Fang Chen, how is the ancestral grounds?" Jian Wufeng asked anxiously.

Fang Chen nodded slightly at the two of them, and said: "Fortunately, we did not fail you, the ancestral grounds is safe now."

Hearing Fang Chen's words, the Heavenly Sword Son felt as if he was in a dream. The remnants of the Huangquan Sect s were exceptionally strong.

"Are you okay?" Tian Jian Zi asked.

"I'm fine." Fang Chen said.

However, all of this was because of the bronze ancestor. If not for the bronze ancestor killing the remnants of the Huangquan Sect, Fang Chen would not have been able to stay in the Ancestral Land to cultivate.

"It's good that you're fine." Tian Jian Zi laughed as he spoke.

After asking about the specific situation within the Ancestral Land and finding out that the Ancestral Land was safe, Heavenly Sword Zi directly removed the Heaven's End Sword Formation and went in to check it out himself.

When he came out, his face was filled with excitement. The Ancestral Land was indeed safe, the remnant Huangquan Sect was already dead.

"Fang Chen, I really have to thank you this time." Heavenly Sword Child said.

"I am a Heavenly Sword Son of the Baimei Sword Sect, it is only natural." Fang Chen said.

"Fang Chen, you have helped our Baimei Sword Sect a lot this time. If you have anything you want, just tell me directly. As long as it's something Baimei Sword Sect has, I can give it to you." Tian Jian Zi laughed out loud. He was in a very good mood.

Fang Chen heard and said: "Sect Master, I would like to see the patriarch of the Luojia branch. May I ask if Sect Master can help?"

Hearing Fang Chen's words, Tian Jian Zi looked at Jian Wufeng as if they were looking at each other, and said: "Fang Chen, why do you want to see the patriarch of the Luojia branch?"

"Looking for someone." Fang Chen said.

"This matter was too easy. After you went into closed door cultivation, the patriarch of the Luojia branch had already visited our Baimei Sword Sect no less than ten times." Tian Jian Zi said.

"Besides, he came looking for you." Jian Wufeng added.

"Looking for me?" This time, it was Fang Chen who was surprised.

"A member of the younger generation called Luo Yu from Luo Family Headquarters came to the Sword Continent and suddenly announced that she would challenge my Heavenly Sword Son. Although the patriarch of the Luojia branch accompanied him, she has come here many times, but you have always been in the Ancestral Land." Heavenly Sword Zi explained.
