"What sword do you want me to give you?" Liu Xian's face was solemn as he asked in a deep voice.
Wang Lu replied, "The Sword of Truth."
Liu Xian slightly frowned, his stern eyes examined Wang Lu for a long time, and finally nodded slowly, "You want to prove your innocence? Well, I agree. "
Liu Xian had just nodded when Fang He hesitated, "Senior Brother, this is against the rules."
Liu Xian snorted, "I know, a Qi Cultivating Stage disciple running to a Yuanying Stage Elder to ask for the Sword of Truth is indeed shocking, but since it is his request, the sect's rules do not stipulate that it cannot be done."
"But the Sword of Truth requires the use of the Misty Immortal Heart, even if it is only a little bit, it is not something that a Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator can bear."
The so-called Sword of Truth was a rule that many sects had. When a person could not defend himself, he could ask the elders of the sect to give him the Sword of Truth. The elder would use the Immortal Heart to control the sword, and the sword would ask the heart. If the disciple could block the elder's sword, then he would not be able to prove himself.
Of course, this sword was so powerful that it was not easy to block. The fierceness of the Sword of Truth did not lie in how strong the strength of the sword user was or how sharp the sword intent was, but the power of the Immortal Heart contained in the sword could directly interrogate the primordial spirit.
Ask if you have a guilty conscience in your heart?
If you do, this sword will directly penetrate your heart, break your primordial spirit, and make you collapse without a fight. If you have a clear conscience, even if the Sword of Truth changed the color of heaven and earth, and the mountains collapsed, it would only be a breeze. But it was easier said than done for a person to have a clear conscience. Even if it was an innocent person, every little thing in life could make them feel guilty — such as being a little lazy during cultivation, or talking about someone behind their back with other disciples. Even if it had nothing to do with the question, the guilt in their heart would not be able to hide from the Sword of Truth and would become a huge flaw.
Of course, the Sword of Truth would also leave some leeway, so that the disciple could use their own cultivation level and sword techniques to offset some of the power, so that even if there was a little guilt in their heart, they could barely withstand it. Therefore, even though the Sword of Truth was not one hundred percent accurate, it was still able to avoid a lot of grievances. Therefore, many sects kept the Sword of Truth. It's just that if you search the entire Wanxian League, you might not be able to find a few Qi Cultivating Stage cultivators who would dare to ask for the Sword of Truth.
Because to a Qi Condensation cultivator, those methods that could counteract the power simply couldn't be used! Cultivating Qi, cultivating Qi mainly cultivated the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cultivated one's own magical power. The cultivation of Primordial Spirit was mainly done after the Foundation Establishment stage. Of course, it didn't mean that Qi Cultivating cultivators didn't need to focus on their Primordial Spirit. However, even if Yue Xinyao was able to advance her Primordial Spirit very quickly, in actual combat, unless it was coordinated with a formation, it wouldn't have much effect. Of course, Yue Xinyao didn't pursue actual combat ability. Her cultivation plan was tailor-made for herself, it had its own purpose.
In Fang He's view, Wang Lu, a middle-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator, asking for the Sword of Truth, was simply asking for trouble.
Fang He asked, "Do you think your Non-Phase Method's defensive power is strong enough to withstand the Sword of Truth?"
Wang Lu replied, "Disciple doesn't dare to be so arrogant. Therefore, Martial Uncle, please set this sword for three days later."
"Three days later?"
"Correct. Disciple needs three days to prepare before I can receive this sword."
Liu Xian sneered. "You want to play tricks to delay the time?"
Wang Lu said, "I don't dare. Disciple will arrange everything in the Wisdom Sect's Headquarter, Martial Uncle can rest assured."
"Wisdom Sect's Headquarter, Wang Family Village? Very well, I'm leaving. "
Half of Liu Xian's heart was impatient, and the other half was curious.
The calmness that Wang Lu showed right now was not fake. In his life, Liu Xian had seen countless people. How could he not see whether Wang Lu was really confident or just bluffing? However, with his Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation base, how could he receive his Sword of Truth? With his immature sect, which was established by mortals and Six Harmonies Cultivators, what kind of powerful arrangement could he have? Three days? Let alone three days, even if he was given three years, unless he could cultivate his Jade Mansion and advance from Qi Cultivating Stage to Foundation Establishment Stage, otherwise, no matter how he arranged, the Sword of Truth would be like a natural moat!
In fact, for the vast majority of cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World, even if they were in the Xudan Stage, the Sword of Truth was still difficult to solve — even if they were really innocent. Wang Lu, with his Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation base, vainly attempted to reach the Xudan Stage … Heh, did he think he had the Brilliant Sword Heart?
With a sneer, Liu Xian picked up Wang Lu with one hand and turned into a golden sword light, flying straight toward the Wang Family Village.
Fang He shook his head, turned into a sword light, and followed his Senior Brother.
As for Wen Bao and Yue Xinyao, who were left in the room, they looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do. The fat man didn't even care about his worries in front of Junior Sister Yue, he just asked, "Junior Sister, what did Senior Brother do these past few days?"
Yue Xinyao said with a smile, "You're asking the wrong person. In those two days, I didn't follow Senior Brother. After leaving the city, I followed his people to run around, signed a lot of documents, and met a lot of people. But as for the specific things, to be honest, I'm still confused. As for Senior Brother himself, there's no need to say anything. "
"So mysterious?" Wen Bao was taken aback. It seemed like his Senior Brother had seriously arranged everything. However, in the face of the menacing Second Elder and Third Elder, even if he arranged a lot, could he really come back from the dead?
"Instead of asking me, it's better to ask the Fifth Elder. She should know more about Wang Lu than anyone else."
When Wen Bao went to the first floor of the inn and found the Fifth Elder who was drinking and eating meat, the woman just smiled. "Rest assured, nothing will happen."
Listening to the Fifth Elder, Wen Bao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but then …
"Even if Wang Lu is captured by Old Man Fang and put in confinement for ten thousand years, as long as I claim that I have no knowledge of this matter, it won't implicate me."
Wen Bao was surprised. "Fifth Martial Aunt, you said nothing will happen, don't tell me …"
"Of course, nothing will happen to me! What does Wang Lu's life or death have to do with me! He started his own business in the Great Ming Country and earned a lot of money, but he never sent me a single spirit stone! "
… …
—
Using the Body and Sword Unity technique of a Yuanying Stage cultivator, he only spent the time it took to burn a stick of incense to fly from the capital of the Great Ming Country to the remote Wang Family Village of the Dog Ear Mountain.
However, when he flew over the Wang Family Village, Liu Xian couldn't help but be startled.
What entered his field of vision was not a barren mountain village that could be seen everywhere, nor was it a symbol of the evil sect's extravagant and extravagant palace. With the Wang Family Village as the center, there were several hundred miles of spiritual fields. In the fields grew all kinds of spiritual grasses and elixirs. Although the grade was not high, it was obvious that they had been carefully taken care of, and their growth was gratifying.
What was even rarer was that, although the spiritual energy here was not particularly rich, it was extremely well utilized. Almost every bit of it was not wasted; it was evenly and methodically distributed all over the mountain. And in the middle of the Wang Family Village, there was a strange altar, which was like a heart that triggered the spiritual energy tide, providing the entire village and the surrounding spiritual fields with an endless supply of spiritual energy.
"Not bad."
After looking at it from the air for a while, even though Liu Xian disapproved of Wang Lu's waste of energy to run the evil sect, he had to admit that the management of this evil sect's headquarters was really good. Although it couldn't be compared to the big sects, it was not much worse than those rank nine sects.
Wang Lu smiled and explained, "Although the Wang Family Village is the birthplace of the Wisdom Sect, its condition is not particularly good, therefore, the scale of its development is limited … However, after my adjustment, the geomancy of this place has changed. In less than fifty years, the spiritual energy along the Feng Shui line will be more and more abundant, and this place will become a real paradise."
After looking at it for a while, Liu Xian nodded in agreement with Wang Lu's statement.
The spiritual energy in the Nine Regions was not constant, the total amount was conserved, and the spiritual energy along the Feng Shui line was also the same. It's not that if you have more, I have less, and if you have less, I have more. As long as it was properly managed, the spiritual energy environment of a place could be improved, from an ordinary place to a place with good geomancy. The Shengjing Sect in the Central Region, where the Shengjing Sect was located, thousands of years ago, was just a plain that could be seen everywhere in the Nine Regions.
Of course, in this world, there were no ideals to speak of. Most of the time, even the cultivators who were supposed to be detached were more accustomed to plundering. In any case, the Nine Regions was so big that even if they plunder for a lifetime, they would never be able to exhaust it.
Therefore, in Liu Xian's view, the Wisdom Sect was obviously just a cult, and Wang Lu's experiential learning time was obviously only one year, yet he was willing to make this kind of long-term plan … It was really hard to believe that he was really doing this for power or money.
Thinking to this, Liu Xian asked, "You want me to come here to show off your achievement?" Having said that, he continued to look at the Wang Family Village; there was quite a bit of admiration in his eyes.
Wang Lu said with a smile, "In addition to the altar in the middle of the village, there's really nothing worth showing off in the Wang Family Village. There are at least a dozen of such villages in the Wisdom Sect. This place, after all, has poor innate conditions, so the layout is limited."
Liu Xian snorted and didn't let Wang Lu continue to show off. "Just focus on your arrangement, I'll give you three days. Third Junior Brother and I will watch over here, you can arrange whatever you want, as long as you don't leave the radius of fifty kilometers. "
Wang Lu didn't say much. Soon, he found the Wisdom Sect's higher ups in the village and quickly began his own arrangement.
—
Just like what Liu Xian thought, with his Qi Cultivating Stage, even if it was the combination of Non-Phase Method and Void Spirit Root, in theory, it was just a fantasy.
Thus, the key to going against the heaven was naturally the arrangement in these three days. Wang Lu's arrangement was extraordinary; for the Wang Family Village, it was simply a big move that could change the heaven and earth.
If Wang Lu hadn't notified the Wisdom Sect's higher ups in advance a few days ago and made the corresponding manpower and material arrangement, it would be too late for Wang Lu's plan to be realized.
However, even so, with the Wisdom Sect's current strength, it was still quite difficult to meet Wang Lu's requirements. The higher ups of the sect were urgently summoned to the village a day ago and began to work frantically to prepare for the early stage. When Wang Lu personally arrived and announced the plan, those Vice Sect Leaders and Elders who were accustomed to the rapid development of the Wisdom Sect and the construction of miracles simply stared their eyes out!
Ye Chuchen, who could be called Wang Lu's most capable assistant, softly whispered, "Sect Leader, this … the amount of work is too huge. Let's not talk about the technical difficulties, just the investment of resources …"
"Hehehe, Brother Ye, do you want to admit that you're incompetent and can't complete the Sect Leader's task?"
At this time, the one who spoke was another Vice Sect Leader of the Wisdom Sect, Daoist Ming Yun. This Daoist was quite a famous loose cultivator in the Immortal Cultivation World of the Blue River Region. His cultivation base was low-level Xudan Stage, and his character was somewhat crazy. His conduct was neither good nor evil, which gave many people a headache. Five months ago, Daoist Ming Yun came uninvited. At that time, Ye Chuchen thought that he came to challenge the sect and was taken aback. However, he found out that this person actually came because of the sect's reputation and applied to join the sect! Thus, he was even more surprised! As for whose name he admired? Nonsense, of course it was the name of the Sect Leader, Wang Lu! Wang Lu didn't know what kind of demonic method this Daoist Ming Yun cultivated, which caused his Primordial Spirit to distort. Obviously, he was a Xudan Stage expert, yet he admired Wang Lu, a mere Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator. Soon, Wang Lu became his loyal lackey. Wang Lu was also impolite and directly promoted him to be the Vice Sect Leader, in charge of fighting and other matters. Daoist Ming Yun's cultivation base was slightly lower than Ye Chuchen's, but his actual combat ability was several times higher; he was a real gold medal fighter!
Therefore, when he heard Daoist Ming Yun's words, Ye Chuchen felt a headache. This guy was crazy. Except for Wang Lu's words, he didn't listen to anyone. He simply couldn't be reasoned with, and he often spoke malicious words. In the sect, he was a first-class villain.
Ye Chuchen was also impolite. "You only know how to fight and kill, it's easy for you to say that. In any case, it's not your turn to contribute!"
Wang Lu smiled. "Vice Sect Leader's words are wrong. This time, Ming Yun also needs to contribute. No matter what kind of work we are in charge of, as long as we have a cultivation base, no one can escape."
Ye Chuchen was somewhat surprised. "Ming Yun is just adding to the mess!"
Ming Yun's eyes widened, and the madness in his eyes made Ye Chuchen's hair stand on end.
Wang Lu laughed. "Hahaha, of course, we have to give Ming Yun the work that suits him." With that, he threw a piece of paper to Ming Yun. Daoist Ming Yun took a glance at it and was immediately attracted by it. He looked at it with rapt attention, and from time to time, he let out a sharp laugh.
After sending Daoist Ming Yun away, Wang Lu said to the others, "This time, the amount of work is extremely huge, and the resources invested are almost a heavy blow to the sect. However, this work is necessary, so even if it's hard and tiring, it must be completed, do you understand?"
It was rare for the Sect Leader to seriously arrange things, so the people present also realized that this was not a trivial matter. They didn't see the two Spirit Sword Sect Elders flying in the air, but they vaguely felt that the Wisdom Sect seemed to be facing a big test of life and death.
If they were still loose cultivators, in the face of this crisis, they would've already scattered like birds and beasts. However, at this time, as the high-level members of the Wisdom Sect, their hearts were filled with vigorous fighting spirit.
—
Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.
These three days were probably the busiest three days for the high-level members of the Wisdom Sect. Especially, as the main force of the construction, the Vice Sect Leader Ye Chuchen and his subordinates in charge of the Seven Stars Department were so busy that they were almost out of breath. Among them, the dirty old man He Yun was the most miserable. After working overtime continuously, he originally intended to restore his magical power using the Double Cultivation Method, but he found out that he was too tired and couldn't do it. The dirty old man cried and fainted on the spot.
In these three days, Ye Chuchen also served as the Infrastructure Department Head, leading the cultivators of the Seven Stars Department to carry out a large-scale construction project. They crazily built arrays in a mountainous area next to the Wang Family Village, all in preparation for the Sword of Truth that was going to be held three days later. The drawing of the arrays came from the hands of Wang Lu, which was full of this Spirit Sword Sect's top student's jaw-dropping crazy idea. When he received the drawing, Ye Chuchen's jaw almost hit the ground! On the drawing, more than three hundred ninth rank Gathering Spirit Arrays were interlocked to form the skeleton, and more than sixty eighth rank Gathering Spirit Arrays were connected to each other, together forming the main body.
In addition, the Tranquil Spirit Lamp, Pure Heart Pagoda, Spirit Awakening Hall … hundreds of different buildings were located in the middle of the array, forming a wonderful connection with each other. Although the grade of these buildings was not high, under the ingenious design, they could display an incredible effect.
At the same time, in these three days, Liu Xian and Fang He quietly hid in the sky, silently watching Wang Lu's arrangement. Then, they witnessed the fanatical followers of the Wisdom Sect, in just three days, build a city in the middle of the mountain!
Of course, it was not a big city. The open space between the mountains was not vast, but these hundreds of buildings, as well as the densely packed array circles, were more than the amount of work needed to build a city!
To be able to complete all of this in three days, the Wisdom Sect used no less than thirty thousand people — this was the result of the sect's unscrupulous recruitment of all the people in the surrounding area. Among them, there were more than one thousand Qi Cultivating Stage cultivators! At the same time, the Wisdom Sect also hired hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage skilled workers from the Mysterious Sky Mansion at a high price, which greatly enriched their strength. Of course, the most important thing was that Vice Sect Leader Ye Chuchen and the team he led, without exception, personally entered the scene and did the most tiring and difficult work. Moreover, they constantly boosted the team's morale and excavated miraculous work efficiency.
The other Vice Sect Leader, Daoist Ming Yun, was also not at ease. In these three days, he brought his own team of thugs to open the mountain and dig the river, releasing his crazy desire to destroy! And Wang Lu closely followed this group of people, leaving his own footprints on every trace of destruction.
Three days later, Wang Lu dismissed all the followers, walked alone into the new city in the mountain, and stood on the high altar that was built for him. On top of his head, Liu Xian indifferently looked at everything that Wang Lu had.
"Are you ready?"
Wang Lu was silent for a moment, opened his eyes, and then slowly opened his mouth.
However, before his voice could come out, the mountains roared, the wind and clouds changed color, thousands of miles of clear sky instantly turned as dark as ink, day and night reversed, and a purple-blue lightning fell from the sky! It was like a heavenly tribulation had arrived!
Wang Lu actually made the first move to gain the upper hand!
