Sealed Sword City was a very famous city in the Sword Spirit Realm. The reason why this city was famous was because it was home to a sect, the Sealed Sword Sect!
The Sealed Sword Sect was a sword cultivation sect. However, this sword cultivation sect was somewhat special. They were very different from ordinary sword cultivation sects. Ordinary sword cultivation sects were either martial arts sects or profound sects. On the other hand, the Sealed Sword Sect was a Buddhist protector sect.
Those who understood Buddhism would know that official Buddhist disciples wouldn't use swords. Buddhist weapons were generally limited to a few types. Buddhist monk's saber, Buddhist staff, prayer beads, and wooden fish. These were the most common weapons used by Buddhist disciples. As for swords, they weren't the most common weapons used by Buddhist disciples.
However, Buddhist sects had protectors. The relationship between protectors and Buddhists was very close. However, they weren't necessarily Buddhists. Sometimes, protectors were considered a position. They were like guest elders that were invited by a clan. They didn't necessarily belong to the clan, but they worked for the clan. They protected the clan while the clan provided them with resources. Buddhist protectors were actually a bit like this.
However, Buddhist Protectors were different from ordinary Guest Elders. Their status in the Buddhist Sects wasn't as high as the Guest Elders. In fact, many Buddhist Protectors were defeated by Buddhists. However, Buddhists didn't kill them. Instead, they used some Buddhist precepts to make them Buddhist Protectors. Many of the Buddhist Protectors used to be extremely vicious and evil people.
Because of this, Buddhist protectors were able to use all kinds of weapons. The Sealed Sword Sect was a sect established by Buddhist protectors.
Legend has it that the first sect master of the Sealing Sword School was a sword cultivator, but he was both good and evil. He did things based on his own likes and dislikes. He could bark like a dog just to make a child happy, or he could slaughter an entire city in a fit of rage. He was also very strong, so no one could stop him.
Later on, a Buddhist High Monk found him and discussed the Dao with him for three years. He wanted to use Buddhist teachings to dissolve the High Monk's evil aura. However, the Sword Cultivator didn't repent. Instead, he was annoyed by the High Monk and prepared to kill in front of the High Monk.
The High Monk was able to entangle him for three years. Naturally, the Sword Cultivator was strong. He wasn't a match for the High Monk. But this time, when he was about to kill, the High Monk told him that he would take as many swords as he wanted to kill. Moreover, he wouldn't retaliate and wouldn't use any techniques to protect himself.
The Sword Cultivator directly said that he wanted to kill ten thousand people. Therefore, the High Monk sat on the ground and let the Sword Cultivator stab him ten thousand times and let the ten thousand people go. The Sword Cultivator thought that the High Monk was just joking and would definitely dodge or use a technique to protect himself. Therefore, he stabbed the High Monk. Unexpectedly, the High Monk didn't dodge or use a technique to protect himself. He was stabbed by the Sword Cultivator. However, because of the High Monk's strength and vitality, he didn't die immediately. He just sat there and chanted.
When the Sword Cultivator saw that the High Monk didn't retaliate, he was very happy. Then he stabbed the High Monk again and again. He stabbed the High Monk eighty-one times before the High Monk died.
After the High Monk died, the Sword Cultivator suddenly came to his senses and felt the High Monk's mercy. Therefore, he buried the High Monk and sealed his sword beside the High Monk's grave. He built a hut next to the High Monk's grave and cleaned the High Monk's grave every day to atone for his sins.
After that, his story spread all over the world. Naturally, there were people who wanted to join him. He didn't reject them, and instead, he took in many disciples. In the end, he took in many disciples, and slowly, it became a small city. The small city expanded, and slowly became the Sealed Sword City of today. The name Sealed Sword City was also given to it because he sealed his sword here.
The first Suzerain of the Fengjian Sect was surnamed Gao and his name was Gao Qingjue. The High Monk who was killed by him was Holy Monk Pu Yuan, one of the Eight Great Holy Monks of the Million Buddhist Sect.
After Gao Qingjue established the Fengjian Sect, he took the initiative to go to the Million Buddhist Sect and became the Protector of the Million Buddhist Sect. The Fengjian Sect also became the Protector of the Million Buddhist Sect. However, after Gao Qingjue killed Holy Monk Pu Yuan, he didn't use his sword anymore. When he fought with others, he always held a branch in his hand and never killed anyone. However, it was unknown whether it was because Holy Monk Pu Yuan had dissolved the evil in his heart. His strength was much stronger than before. Because of this, the most obvious symbol of the people of the Fengjian Sect was a branch embroidered on their clothes. The number of leaves on the branch determined their level. The sword they used was also shaped like a branch. It was very strange.
However, the strength of the Fengjian Sect couldn't be underestimated. In addition to their relationship with the Million Buddhist Sect, almost no other sect dared to touch the people of the Fengjian Sect. The Fengjian City was turned into an open city by the people of the Fengjian Sect. There were all kinds of people here. As long as you paid taxes to the Fengjian Sect on time every month and didn't cause trouble in the city, no matter what your identity was, you could move freely in the city. Even if you were chased by other sects outside, the Fengjian Sect could guarantee that you would be absolutely safe here.
Of course, there was a prerequisite. The prerequisite was that the person you offended was not from the Million Buddhist Sect, nor could he be from the Fengjian Sect. Otherwise, the Fengjian Sect would not be polite to you.
Although the Fengjian Sect was just a protector of the Million Buddhas Sect, they were very polite to all Buddhists. Buddhists didn't need to pay taxes in the city. They even set up a courtyard in the city to receive Buddhists. As long as you're a Buddhist disciple, whether you're a Rogue Cultivator or a disciple of a sect, you can rest, eat, and live in the courtyard. It's said that the Rogue Cultivator who lived in the city for the longest time had already lived in the city for more than 30 years. The Fengjian Sect didn't give him any face.
Of course, the Fengjian Sect would provide you with food and lodging, but they wouldn't care about other things. If you want to use cultivation resources, you have to find a way. However, this was already a very good treatment for the Buddhist Sect disciples. Because the city was very open, it had become a huge commercial city. Whether you rent or sell a house here, the cost would be huge. The Fengjian Sect would provide you with food and lodging, saving you a lot of money.
The Buddhist Sect disciples also liked to come to Fengjian Sect. This was because there were many Buddhist Sects here, so they could interact with each other. This was especially true for the Rogue Cultivators.
Many people believed that rogue cultivators wouldn't have Buddhist disciples or Profound Sect disciples. However, this was a very wrong idea. The number of Buddhist and Profound Sect disciples among rogue cultivators wasn't any less than other people. This was because even in the Sword Spirit World, there were many disciples of the big sects who died outside. Some were killed by others and some were killed by beasts. Naturally, they would leave behind some inheritances. Some lucky people would pick up these inheritances and slowly cultivate until they became cultivators. However, these people weren't recognized by the Buddhist or Profound Sects, so they naturally became rogue cultivators.
The Sealed Sword City was as lively as it was every day. Countless people were coming and going from the city gate. The location of the Sealed Sword City was very special. The city was built on a plain at the intersection of three mountains. There was also a large river flowing on the side. These three mountains were the Extreme Martial Mountain, the Martial King Mountain, and the Traveling Moon Mountain. These three mountains were very huge and contained countless treasures. Naturally, there were also countless demonic beasts. It was the best place for Rogue Cultivators to hunt demonic beasts and search for herbs.
Moreover, Sword Sealing City was an important transportation route. Naturally, it was very prosperous. Although most of the cities in the Sword Spirit Realm were using transmission formations, other transportation methods weren't abandoned. For example, Sword Sealing City had several main roads that lead to other cities. There were also waterways that connected the upper and lower reaches of the city. Because of this, Sword Sealing City had a lot of caravans and adventurers going in and out of the city.
It was already noon, but the south gate of Sealed Sword City was still very lively. Wang Heng, an outer disciple of the Sealed Sword Sect, was standing there looking bored. He was an outer disciple of the Sealed Sword Sect and was assigned a mission to guard the city gate. This was a very boring job, there wasn't much profit to be made. However, every disciple of the Sealed Sword Sect had to do this job. The city gate of Sealed Sword City didn't collect taxes, and no one was allowed to cause trouble within ten li of the city. Therefore, they didn't have anything to do, they just stood there and watched people go in and out. Wang Heng had been guarding the city gate several times already, but he didn't see anyone causing trouble. He heard that the last time someone caused trouble in Sealed Sword City was ten years ago. That person got into a fight eight li outside of the city and was imprisoned for a very long time before being released. Since then, no one had caused trouble in Sealed Sword City, including within ten li of the city gate, until today, no one had caused any trouble in Sealed Sword City.
At this time, Wang Heng heard a clanking sound. This sound was very clear, as if something was hitting something.
Wang Heng wasn't unfamiliar with this sound. This was because there were a lot of Buddhists in the city. Their staffs and shovels had iron rings attached to them. When these iron rings vibrated, they would make this sound.
Wang Heng looked towards the source of the voice and saw a tall figure slowly walking towards the city gate. This person was holding a huge staff in his hand.
Before long, this person arrived in front of the city gate. Upon seeing this person, Wang Heng couldn't help but sigh, "What a majestic monk!"
That's right, it was a dhuta. This dhuta wasn't very tall, only about seven feet tall. According to the ruler of the Sword Spirit World, he was about 1.8 meters tall. This wasn't considered too tall in the Sword Spirit World where body cultivators were everywhere.
However, this person gave people a very majestic feeling. This was mainly because of his broad shoulders and broad back. His muscles were like copper and iron waves. He had a generous face, a big beard, long hair, and a headband on his head. His pair of big round eyes made him look like an angry Vajra in a temple. He had a dignified aura.
