Two swordsmen in the Heavenly Arrival State of Aoyama had arrived.
What could the Western Sea Sword School do?
The figure in the Heavenly Arrival State one hundred miles away had made his own response.
He wielded another sword by the seashore.
That sword light was brighter and more formidable than before, as if it would seize the power of heaven and earth. It rose up like a roc, soon passing through the Empty Realm and disappearing without a trace. It should have entered the Thunder Region.
Was it possible that the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean would use his sword to attract the heavenly thunder and fight against two swordsmen in the Heavenly Arrival State at great risk?
Countless gazes were fixed on the deep end of the night sky.
The Cultivation practitioners were waiting nervously for that sword light to reappear with various emotions.
Standing on the back of the whale, Yuan Qijing looked at the night sky with his hands folded behind his back, remaining silent.
The wind, snow, and rainstorm had all ceased, and the starlight shone down again. The tall figure standing in the Empty Realm didn't make any move.
What was Yuan Qijing waiting for? What was the Immortal Sect Master of Aoyama waiting for? Why didn't they strike earlier?
Bu Qiuxiao felt a little moved. He looked at Xiwang Sun, who was bound by the sword shadows one thousand feet away.
Though Xiwang Sun was severely wounded and pale, he still maintained a dignified expression. Yet, his eyes were not gloomy and profound anymore, but full of mockery.
Bu Qiuxiao suddenly understood, and yelled to the Cultivation practitioners nearby, "Stay back!"
No sooner had he said this than …
The sword light returned to the human world.
Hiss!!!
The sky seemed to be cut open.
A sword light fell down like lightning along with the starlight pouring down, illuminating the whole Cloud Platform.
Countless surprised screams broke out in the night sky around the Cloud Platform.
It was because they had seen an incredible scene.
…
…
It was quiet in Aoyama.
The Great Formation was closed, and the thunder and lightning on the top of Bihu Peak disappeared without a trace. As a result, the girls on Qingrong Peak couldn't see the rainstorm anymore.
All the disciples of Aoyama above the Undefeated State had gone to the West Ocean, save for Nan Wang and the other peak masters, the elders and disciples who were behind closed doors.
Though the low-level disciples below the Undefeated State didn't know the details, they could guess that something significant must have happened. They were either worried or nervous, so they had no interest in practicing the sword work.
The nine peaks were naturally quiet, and so was Shenmo Peak. Other than the sound of tea boiling in the iron kettle, there was no other sound.
Jing Jiu was lying on the bamboo chair, holding a teacup and looking into the distance. From time to time, he would take a sip. No one knew what he was thinking.
Zhao Layue, Gu Qing, and Yuan Qu looked at his back and then shook their heads. They really didn't know what he was thinking.
The situation in the West Ocean must be very tense. As long as Liu Shisui, who caused the incident, did not return to Aoyama, it should be very dangerous. Why was Jing Jiu not worried?
This was because they did not know about the deal between the Sect Leader and Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu asked Thoughtless Sword to go to the foreign land to ask the giant friend to keep an eye on the archipelago that was locked by the thick fog. The Head Immortal had to ensure the safety of Liu Shisui.
The giant had taken a ten-thousand-year-old tree from the Secret Realm of Singing Spring and was now staring at the fog sleepily.
In Jing Jiu's eyes, Liu Ci was taking care of Liu Shisui, the Lone Sword and the jasmine flower. If something bad happened to Liu Shisui, it would be a sign that this little guy had terrible luck.
He forgot that Liu Shisui's luck had always been bad. He did not expect that Liu Shisui did not go straight back to Aoyama after leaving Bulao Lin, but went to get the sword instead.
As for the outcome of the battle between the Aoyama Sect and the Western Sea Sword School, he was not very concerned, because he did not need to worry.
"Why?"
Hearing Yuan Qu's question, Jing Jiu handed the teacup to Gu Qing and said, "Because two Heavenly Arrival Masters are one more than one."
This was nonsense.
It could also be said that it was common sense in mathematics that even children would find boring.
The reason why nonsense was called nonsense was that it was self-evident.
It was a self-evident principle, and it was usually irrefutable.
The simplest common sense in mathematics was often the most irrefutable.
Yuan Qu touched his head, thinking that it was indeed reasonable.
Gu Qing was somewhat surprised, asking, "Did the Immortal Sect Master and the Sword Justice both go there?"
Zhao Layue wondered why Jing Jiu and herself went to invite the Lord White Ghost from Bihu Peak if that was not the case.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the white cat by the cliff's edge and asked Jing Jiu, "The West Sea also has a divine beast guarding the sect, the Flying Whale we saw."
Jing Jiu said, "That whale is a fake Heavenly Arrival Master, and the name Yuan Qijing is the bane of it."
Gu Qing was startled for a moment, then understood what he meant after thinking for a while, and couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan Qu touched his head again, thinking that it did not make sense.
The white cat listened to their conversation while crouching by the cliff's edge, thinking that what they said was interesting and reasonable; how could that stupid big guy be mentioned in the same breath as him?
He reached out his right paw and pulled Cold Cicada back to his side, yawning.
It was late in the spring, and the weather was getting warmer, so the white cat liked sleeping with Cold Cicada more and more.
As for whether Cold Cicada was willing to do it or not, and how many bottles of Cold Chalcedony the Shenmo Peak had to spend on it, it had never been the cat's concern.
"I still don't think it makes sense."
Gu Qing washed Jing Jiu's teacup, replaced it with a new one, and continued, "Even though it has some benefits for the Western Sea Sword School, it is still too small compared to the risks, unless they want to change the structure of the whole Cultivation world."
What he meant was that the Western Sea Sword School controlled Bulao Lin in secret.
Zhao Layue said, "It's evident that this is their goal; otherwise, they would never be able to surpass Aoyama."
Many years ago, the Western Sea Sword School rose rapidly on the seashore. What they had done since then, anyone could tell that their goal was the Aoyama Sect.
But, where did the hostility of the Western Sea Sword School toward Aoyama come from, or in other words, the strong desire to surpass it? Was it because the Godly Swordsman of West Ocean didn't want to be inferior to others?
Zhao Layue couldn't answer this question, so she looked at Jing Jiu.
Gu Qing and Yuan Qu fixed their gazes on Jing Jiu as well.
Jing Jiu drank the tea with his head lowered, pretending that he didn't know anything.
Zhao Layue and the other two looked at him like that.
It was quiet on the peak top for a long time.
Jing Jiu put down the teacup.
Gu Qing took it from him hastily.
Feeling a bit helpless, Jing Jiu said, "This is a long story; it's too tiring to tell."
Yuan Qu let out a cheer, ran into the manor cave, and brought out three brocade stools.
Zhao Layue gestured that she didn't need them, and asked Jing Jiu to move his seat, and sat down on the bamboo chair.
The white cat wasn't interested, and went back to sleep while holding Cold Cicada.
He already knew what had happened, so there was no need for him to listen to it again.
"This is how the story begins."
Jing Jiu said.
…
…
Many, many years ago, a boat came from the ocean, loaded with spices, jewels, crystals, and a youth.
The youth was Nan Qü, a prince of a small country in the South Ocean. He came to Chaotian from a long distance because he wanted to join the Aoyama Sect. He had an excellent talent in Cultivation, so he entered the inner gate easily. He was wanted by all the peaks at the Inherited Sword Competition, but he didn't want to be his disciple, claiming that he only wanted to be the disciple of the Immortal Daoyuan, the sect master at the time. The Immortal Daoyuan said that he had too strong a murderous nature, so he couldn't even practice the true swords of Aoyama, to say nothing of taking him as his personal disciple. The Immortal Daoyuan said that he had too much of a murderous nature, so he couldn't even practice the true swords of Aoyama. The Immortal Daoyuan said that he was willing to take him to the Guocheng Temple to cultivate.
Nan Qü was unwilling to do so. He left Aoyama angrily and traveled all over the land. He encountered some tragic events, and his temperament became more extreme. Later, he found the manor cave of a fairy swordsman of the previous generation on an island in the ocean and obtained the inheritance. His Cultivation state improved by leaps and bounds, and it took him two hundred years to reach the upper limit of the Heavenly Arrival State, becoming a fairy swordsman of the generation. After he returned to Chaotian, he killed many disciples of Aoyama in order to avenge what he had done to him. And he succeeded in sneak-attacking the Immortal Daoyuan while he was ascending with the help of the demons of the Underworld.
The Immortal Daoyuan was severely wounded and failed in his ascension. Before his death, he employed the All in One Sword to cut down Nan Qü's Dao Tree from ten thousand miles away, and at the same time activated the Great Formation of Aoyama to kill him. Nan Qü saw that the situation was unfavorable for him, so he activated the Great Formation to confine the island where the manor cave was located in the ocean fog.
…
…
Jing Jiu didn't know how to tell a story, so he didn't use any flowery words, and the plot was not interesting either; but Zhao Layue, Gu Qing and Yuan Qu listened to him attentively, and then felt startled.
They of course knew who Jing Jiu was talking about.
The legend of the hidden swordsman was one of the most famous stories in the Cultivation world of Chaotian.
It was not until today that they learned that the Fairy Swordsman in the Heavenly Arrival of the South Sea and the Aoyama Sect had many grudges, and it was the first time they learned his name.
The Immortal Daoyuan was the Sect Master of Aoyama many years ago. In terms of seniority, he should be the grandmaster of Taiping Zhenren and the Immortal Jingyang, but he died after failing in his ascension. It turned out that the reason for his failure was that the Fairy Swordsman in the Heavenly Arrival of the South Sea was the reason why the Aoyama Sect swore to kill him.
