When Tian Kun saw Ran Xiushu escape, he followed the Qi activity and made a turn. In an instant, he arrived on a plain. Looking down from above, he could see a city with about a million people in the distance.
Directly below them was a wide flat land in the suburbs of the city. Beside a shallow river that was flowing rapidly, dozens of luxurious carriages were parked there. The carriages were covered with blankets and brocade, and there were also tent stands and firewood stoves. It seemed like the nobles of the mortal world were out for an outing.
At this moment, there was a white-bearded old man holding a magic sword. He was practicing his swordsmanship, and each move was very methodical.
About twenty children dressed in bright clothes were watching seriously there, and they even held wooden swords in their hands to imitate, while servants and guards kept far away, not daring to come close.
Ran Xiushu muttered to himself, "This method, hmm, maybe it's a game of someone from the same sect."
This old man was clearly just a mortal, but his comprehension of swordsmanship was far beyond his limits. However, his comprehension of swordsmanship far exceeded his own limits, and he faintly had the aura of an immortal, which was somewhat similar to the Shaoqing Sect.
In fact, the Shaoqing Sect also had the method of using magic swords, and there were even many similar treasures, but usually, such people rarely reached a high level.
At this moment, Tian Kun looked over and realized that this old man's divine Qi was soaring into the sky, and it was impossible to see where he was. Although his spirit belonged to him, and his words and actions were very natural, he was in fact a marionette. His life experience and even temperament were arranged by someone in advance, and he could not take even half a step out of line.
Simply put, he was like a chess piece. He could only act according to the rules of the chess game, but he could never transcend beyond the chessboard, and he did not know about it.
With a rough glance, he saw many similar Qi activities, and there were even more in the distance, but he did not understand why the upper realm cultivators here would do this.
Ran Xiushu also realized this, but he was a little puzzled, because according to the Shaoqing Sect's style of doing things, they would definitely not put their attention on these mortals, so this place was probably not as simple as the place where the previous generations ascended.
The past and future of these mortals were actually woven by the powerful beings behind them, so they couldn't see anything useful. However, since the Divine Qi was related to Xiu, it left some clues.
Ran Xiushu simply followed these auras and soon found a Realm Gate in this world. Without saying anything, he walked in.
Tian Kun originally wanted to persuade him to investigate first, but seeing this, he could only follow. However, he also knew that some cultivators of the Shaoqing Sect had an extraordinary sense of danger. Perhaps Ran Xiushu was such a person?
After the two of them passed through the realm gate, they saw that the scenery here was beautiful. The mountains were painted green, and the multicolored light shone brightly. In front of them was a short mountain, and there was a Daoist temple. Under the cover of the temple's shrine, there was a Daoist child curled up there.
Ran Xiushu walked over and asked, "Are you the attendant here?"
The Daoist boy rubbed his eyes and got up. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Immortal Elders. I am the one guarding this place."
Ran Xiushu said, "What is this place? What is the name of this temple? "
The Daoist boy said, "This is Mount Rhinoceros Emperor Temple." At this moment, he turned around and pointed, saying, "Immortal Elders, my temple's master is here."
Just Now, Ran Xiushu and Ran Xiushu sensed someone coming over. When they looked over, they saw a Daoist wearing straw shoes and plain clothes walking out. He came forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Immortal Elders. May I know where you are from, and what can I do for you?"
Ran Xiushu said with interest, "Oh? Could it be that there are many people like us who come and go here? "
The temple master said ambiguously, "Not few, but not many."
Ran Xiushu said, "We came here to visit our seniors. Are there any Immortal Elders who can control flying swords in this area?"
The temple master's eyes flickered, and he smiled. He said, "Are you talking about the Sword Immortals who originally lived in the Immortal Mountain?"
Ran Xiushu said, "Originally? Could it be that they are no longer here? "
The temple master lowered his gaze and said, "I don't know much about this. I only heard that a few thousand years ago, the Sword Immortals who lived in the Immortal Mountain bestowed this area to us in search of the Immortal Technique. Then, they went to another world through a door between the two worlds, but they have yet to return."
Ran Xiushu didn't look regretful at all. She asked, "I wonder if they left anything behind before they left. After all, they were my seniors. Now that they're gone, I'll need to find something as proof so that I can answer to the sect when they ask about it in the future."
The temple master said, "I haven't been cultivating for a long time, so I haven't seen those Sword Immortals, so I'm not too sure about this."
Ran Xiushu said, "How about this? Even though my seniors have left this place, the abodes they used to live in should still be there. Can you bring us there?"
The temple master seemed to be in a difficult position. He said, "For this matter, I need to ask the Immortals here."
Ran Xiushu said, "It's fine. You can go back and ask them. I'll just wait here."
The temple master hesitated for a moment before saying, "If the two of you don't mind, why don't you stay here for the night? I'll go back and report to the Immortals." He then called out to the Daoist child and asked him to bring out the spirit fruits and immortal tea in the temple for the two of them before he left.
Ran Xiushu saw that Tian Kun was standing at the side without saying a word, so she said, "What do you think, Daoist Ran?"
Tian Kun said, "It's all up to you."
He came here today only to be a witness. He wouldn't interfere with what Ran Xiushu wanted to do, unless they encountered some life-threatening danger.
Ran Xiushu chuckled and said, "Since we have nothing to do, why don't you tell us your opinion?"
Tian Kun saw that he was insistent, so he pondered for a moment before saying, "Since you insist, I'll give you my humble opinion."
Ran Xiushu said, "Please go ahead."
Tian Kun said, "Just Now, that Daoist seems to be very polite, but he's actually repulsed and wary of us, especially after hearing that we've asked about the Shaoqing seniors. There must be something hidden here. He might find an excuse to reject Daoist Ran's invitation, and he won't let us get what we want so easily."
Ran Xiushu smiled. "If that's the case, we'll go look for him ourselves. This matter is finally interesting."
Just as the Abbey Dean reported the arrival of the two of them, a few people's Divine Wills gathered in a mysterious place.
One of them said, "Exalted Gourd, more Sword Immortals from the lower realm have come here. I've already said that since those Sword Immortals ascended from other realms, as long as their sects aren't destroyed, there will definitely be people coming here. When the time comes, they'll take back this land no matter what. We can't occupy this place."
Someone sneered. "Take back? The spiritual opportunity where we were originally at has been lost, and we've been wandering for a long time. It wasn't easy for us to find a place to stay in this realm. Those Sword Immortals just left, and now that we've been working hard for thousands of years, anyone who comes here wants to take it back. How can it be so easy! "
The person who spoke earlier mocked, "We've seen the techniques of those Sword Immortals back then. Judging from your tone, are you going to personally suppress these two?"
The person who spoke later said, "How would we know if we haven't fought them?"
After the two of them argued for a while, the person who was called Exalted Gourd finally spoke. He said in a deep voice, "Although there are two Sword Immortals this time, we're no longer the weak ones from back then. If they treat us as guests, then we'll treat them well and send them away as soon as possible."
Someone asked, "What if the two of them insist on staying here?"
Exalted Gourd said, "Then we'll have to resort to some tricks. This is our realm after all, and the spiritual opportunity is much more prosperous than before. I dare say that there aren't many treasured lands like this in the heavens, so we can't hand it over no matter what."
Ran Xiushu and Tian Kun had only waited in the monastery for half a day when they sensed a divine will approaching them.
Ran Xiushu and Tian Kun discussed for a while before they accepted it. They then entered the unknown together, and they saw an unfamiliar cultivator standing there. He bowed at them and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoists."
The two of them returned the greeting, and Ran Xiushu said, "How should I address you, Fellow Daoist?"
The cultivator seemed unwilling to reveal his surname, and he sighed. "Let's not talk about my secular name. May I ask if you're really the descendants of those Sword Immortals?"
With a thought, Ran Xiushu's sword light appeared. Even though it was within the divine will, it was not difficult for her to reveal her techniques.
The cultivator saw it and quickly said, "As expected, you're the descendants of those Sword Immortals. I've received a favor from one of them previously, so I have an important matter to inform you."
Ran Xiushu asked, "What is it?"
The cultivator said solemnly, "I'm afraid that the people here are going to harm you."
Ran Xiushu was not afraid at all, and instead, her interest was piqued. She asked, "What's the reason?"
The cultivator sighed and said, "We're originally people from the outside world, and we were later taken in by a few Sword Immortals in this realm. Later on, those Sword Immortals wanted to go beyond the heavens for some reason, so they left this realm for us to look after. In the beginning, we were very attentive, and we took good care of this realm. However, after that, the entrance closed on its own, and a few of us thought that those Sword Immortals would never return, so we treated this realm as our own. However, now that the two of you are here, they're afraid that they'll ask for this realm back."
Ran Xiushu smiled and said, "However, I have a question. Did those Sword Immortals leave anything behind?"
The cultivator said, "Those cave abodes still have restrictions left behind, and we've never entered them before. Perhaps they've left something behind, but now that the outside is sealed by restrictions, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get close."
Ran Xiushu nodded. "Thank you for informing us about this."
The cultivator lowered his head and said, "I'm ashamed. It's good that you don't blame us."
After Ran Xiushu asked a few more questions, the cultivator retreated, and he himself also retreated from the divine will. He then clapped his hands and said with a smile, "This is wonderful."
Tian Kun was puzzled. "What's wonderful about it?"
Ran Xiushu said excitedly, "I originally thought that we're only here to acknowledge a few Sword Immortals and exchange some pleasantries before coming back to pay our respects. That would be rather boring, but I didn't expect it to be like this. I do hope that this cultivator can be strong to the end. If that's the case, wouldn't it be delightful for our Shaoqing to raise our swords against him!"
