Starlight shone on the sea of clouds. It was clearly night time, but it was whiter than daytime, like snow.
The stars in the sky were like countless dim suns. The stone monument had no shadow, and the shadow left by the scabbard was also very faint.
The Round Turtle opened its eyes and its mouth slightly. The formless starlight slowly entered it.
The Sect Leader stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down at the sea of clouds. He seemed to be talking to himself.
"Young people often have the idea of changing the world. It may be childish, but it's also gratifying."
"Of course you won't support it, but I don't think so. After all, they are not us."
"I just didn't expect that they seemed to have blown things up a little too much this time."
"Since that's the case, I have a favor to ask of you. Remember that you have a friend over there."
…
…
At the top of Shenmo Peak, the starlight was like snow.
"I told Ah Da to tell you clearly that I'm against this, but you ignored it. Now you're asking me for a favor?"
Standing at the edge of the cliff, Jing Jiu looked at the sea of clouds flowing like a waterfall. After a moment of silence, he continued, "You know the relationship between that child and me. Let him live."
Was this the condition of the exchange?
Jing Jiu left the cliff.
Gu Qing was in seclusion in the small house in the forest.
Yuan Qu was practicing his swordsmanship behind the mountain.
Zhao Layue was beside the waterfall, sensing the world around her.
White Ghost and Cold Cicada were sleeping.
The cave abode was very quiet.
His palm landed on the stone wall, and the entire stone wall seemed to split into two, revealing a passage.
Following the passageway to the innermost part, there was a cave with a larger space. The top was empty, and that was the highest point of Shenmo Peak.
Back then, his sword had risen from here and slashed apart the heavenly lightning.
Starlight fell from the top of the cave and turned into a silver dollar on the ground.
Jing Jiu walked over, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
The Dao Tree moved despite the absence of wind.
The Sword Discernment came out.
The sound of the waterfall was like thunder.
Zhao Layue sat on the green stone beside the pool.
Her Sword Awareness spread out like starlight, covering everything within a radius of more than ten miles. Silent, she sensed the most subtle changes.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
A Sword Sense came from the top of the mountain.
The Sword Awareness was the Divine Awareness that carried the Sword Intent or was released by the Sword.
That Sword Discernment was very strong and clean. Even the Sword Discernment that she cultivated in the Sword Mountain was far inferior to it.
This Sword Discernment belonged to Jing Jiu.
The Sword Awareness fell with the waterfall and landed on her hand.
The bracelet vibrated and let out a buzzing sound.
Zhao Layue did not compete with Jing Jiu's Sword Discernment for control.
She was curious about what he wanted to do.
The bracelet left her wrist and flew into the night sky, turning back into the Thoughtless Sword.
The bright red sword light illuminated the cliff, and the waterfall was like a torrential flood of blood.
The wind blew, and the weeds by the pond suddenly fell down.
The Thoughtless Sword vanished.
A red dot appeared in the distant night sky, and then quickly disappeared.
Zhao Layue leaped into the air, her clothes and feet leaving streaks of sword light. Every step she took covered over a hundred feet, and she quickly returned to the peak.
Entering the deep part of the manor cave, she saw Jing Jiu sitting under the starlight with his eyes closed.
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu also sensed the departure of the Thoughtless Sword, so they came to the manor cave.
"What's going on?"
"Sword traveling."
Zhao Layue said.
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu looked at each other in surprise.
The Thoughtless Sword was the main sword of the nine peaks of Aoyama, so it should be able to travel.
But how could Jing Jiu, who was in the State of the Undefeated, withstand the consumption of the Sword Awareness of this level?
Jing Jiu had surprised them too much, but they were more worried, because they couldn't be disturbed while traveling.
When they saw White Ghost sleeping on the cold jade bed and Cold Cicada, who was awake but didn't dare to leave, they realized that their worries were unnecessary.
…
…
Above the human world was the Sea of Clouds.
Above the Sea of Clouds were the peaks.
Above the peaks was the night sky.
Above the night sky was the Chaotic Wind.
Above the Chaotic Wind was the Empty Realm.
There was no air in the Empty Realm, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had almost disappeared.
If it was extremely difficult and painful for a Cultivation practitioner to ride a sword in the Chaotic Wind, the Empty Realm was even more difficult.
— The Cultivation practitioners below the State of the Broken Sea couldn't survive here.
Above the Empty Realm was the Thunder Region, which was even more formidable.
The Thunder Region was full of violent energy, and the Heavenly Thunder could be generated at any time.
Even the figures in the State of Arrival of Heaven would come here occasionally to sense the principles of heaven and earth, and they didn't dare stay here for a long time.
The Thoughtless Sword left the peak top and shot up into the night sky. Soon, it entered the Chaotic Wind, leaving a long trail behind.
It kept speeding up in the Chaotic Wind. After a dozen seconds, it disappeared completely along with a thunder-like boom.
The Thoughtless Sword entered the Empty Realm, and couldn't be seen by the ground anymore.
There was no air or resistance in the Empty Realm, so it was the fastest place for a flying sword. But a flying sword of a lower state couldn't withstand the cold here, and there was no nourishment of spiritual energy here. Even a flying sword of a higher state would gradually lose its sword spirit and become a scrap iron, falling to the ground.
The Thoughtless Sword was the Immortal Jingyang's flying sword of the Fairy State, so it wasn't afraid of the cold. But how could it solve the problem of the loss of spiritual energy?
The darkness of the night faded away, and the morning light appeared, dyeing the seawater red.
The Thoughtless Sword had arrived above the sea, but its speed had slowed down a lot, and the blade of the sword looked a bit dim.
It suddenly raised its head and flew to a higher place.
After a few seconds, the Thoughtless Sword passed through an invisible barrier and entered the Thunder Region!
The violent energy refracted the light into chaotic shadows, and a terrifying pressure could be felt everywhere.
Countless heavenly thunders were born and died, and the lightning bolts thicker than trees kept flashing, forming a picture like a fence.
The thunderstorm here was many times larger than the thunderstorm on the peak top of Bihu.
The Thoughtless Sword dashed toward the fence formed by the lightning bolts without hesitation.
Crack! The lightning fell, and the thunder roared, just like a storm in the human world.
The Thoughtless Sword flew through the thunderstorm at a high speed, just like those brave sea swallows.
…
…
There was a light buzzing sound.
The Thoughtless Sword left the Thunder Region and returned to the Empty Realm.
The blade of the sword, which had been washed by the thunderstorm, was extremely bright, and the body of the sword was surrounded by dazzling light. The spiritual energy had returned to its peak state.
The Thoughtless Sword sped up again, and soon disappeared into the sky.
After a long time, a huge island appeared on the surface of the sea. There were countless divine trees thousands of meters tall on the island. It must be Penglai Island.
After the Thoughtless Sword flew past Penglai Island, it entered the Thunder Region to absorb energy again, and then sped up again.
In the evening, a strange scene appeared on the surface of the sea that was illuminated by the sunlight.
A huge hole appeared on the surface of the sea, and endless seawater poured into it. The edge of the hole turned into a spectacular waterfall.
The huge hole was extremely deep, and no one knew where it led to. Even looking at it from the sky, one couldn't see the end, which was extremely frightening.
Could this be the legendary Huge Whirlpool? The Secret Realm of Singing Spring?
Why did so much seawater fall into the huge hole day and night, but the sea level didn't drop?
The Thoughtless Sword didn't know this question that had troubled humans for many years, and it didn't want to think about it.
After passing through the Huge Whirlpool, it didn't enter the Thunder Region to absorb energy again, but began to slow down.
After a long time, the Thoughtless Sword slowed down to the same speed as when it left Shenmo Peak.
It was already the morning of the next day, and the morning glow appeared in the sky.
