A ray of golden light shot into the sky from the Flower Palace.
It passed through the white clouds, quickly flew towards a certain direction, then descended and hovered next to the young man.
As the golden light faded away, everyone looked closely to see that it was a sword.
This sword was slightly longer than a normal sword, its shape was heavy and simple, there weren't any unnecessary decorations on the blade, and it didn't have a scabbard either.
A deep voice came from the longsword.
"Were you the one who called me just now?"
Gu Qing Shan pointed at the male cultivator in front of her and said: "I was actually telling him to come and fight me — — I don't know why, but you came"
As soon as the two of them said that, the cultivators all went into an uproar.
"This sword can communicate with people!"
"It's a sword spirit!"
"This sword has a spirit, that's incredible!"
"A Divine Armament, this is Bai Hua sect's Divine Armament!"
"My god, could it be the Saint's — — -"
White goose abruptly shouted: "Everyone shut up!"
Its voice carried a fierce spiritual pressure, suppressing all the voices of the cultivators.
White goose flew next to the sword and clasped his wings: "Aren't you Shifu's sword? Why did you come here? "
Under everyone's stares, the sword didn't say anything.
But Gu Qing Shan heard the Earth sword's voice in her mind: "Tell me, what should I say?"
"Just say that I'm the one you've chosen" Gu Qing Shan said.
"But there needs to be a reason" the Earth sword said.
"Then say that there's something unique about me that attracted you, this reason won't be easy to find fault with" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Unique … what kind of unique characteristic do you have?" the Earth sword hesitantly asked.
"How would I know, I can't say this myself, just think about it, as long as it can scare them" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Let me think about it"
A few moments later.
The sword spirit's voice finally came:
"Bai Ying Tian, I suddenly sensed something just now, a sword master who fits my needs has appeared, so I came here"
"You mean him?" white goose squinted his eyes, observing Gu Qing Shan.
The sword replied: "That's right"
"What kind of ability does he have to make you sense it and want to recognize him as your master?" white goose asked.
Among the cultivators, there were those whose eyes were red, those who were jealous, and those who couldn't bear to see others doing well. They whispered, "That's right. He's just a scout at the front line. How could he be favored by the sword?"
"That's right, he's clearly only in the Training Stage, but look at the bow on his waist — he's not even a real sword cultivator, so why?"
"Hmph, this matter should be decided by the Sage."
The voices of discussion gradually grew louder.
Gu Qing Shan frowned.
The sword said, "His special qualities attracted me."
"What characteristics?" White goose asked.
The long sword let out a voice that was as heavy as a mountain, "Everything is destined to happen. As the Sword Spirit, I had a premonition that the next master would be a child who had cultivated for three lifetimes, a pure and self-respecting young man."
"This child is as pure as ice and as clean as jade, loyal as ever, and bright as the sun. He is the sword master that I admire."
Everyone fell silent.
Dead silence.
Near the large bluestone, there were as many cultivators as carps in the river. However, at this moment, all of them were silent.
Three generations … of children?
This …
Who would be able to do that!
Everyone sighed at the same time, the anger in their hearts calmed down.
Even the white goose couldn't say anything.
After a while, the white goose flew back to the bluestone and spoke: "This matter requires Shifu's approval, and he must first reach the Bai Hua list before he can meet the Sage. Take him with you, let's see if he has the chance"
"Very well" the sword replied.
It lightly landed in Gu Qing Shan's hand.
Gu Qing Shan was about to leave with the sword, but then remembered something and stopped, looking at the male cultivator in front of her.
"Just now, you said you wanted to fight me?" he asked.
The male cultivator put his weapon away, then looked at her with an indescribable expression: "Forget it, you can go"
"Why?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"In life … there are some things … that don't need to be fought over …"
The male cultivator avoided her gaze and tried to hide his words.
The cultivators around him all nodded at the same time, as if they all felt the same.
Gu Qing Shan didn't bother to say anything else, so she turned around and left.
Seeing that, Leng Tian Xing hurriedly followed.
The two of them hurried on the road for half a minute before a river appeared in front of them.
An old boat was anchored on the shore, the old boatman sat at the bow, smoking a pipe.
The two of them stopped.
"Hey, are you really the Three Generations Child?" Leng Tian Xing asked with a bit of admiration.
"How would I know — — do you even know about your past life?" Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask.
"That's true, who would know about their past lives" Leng Tian Xing nodded.
The boatman called out: "You two, are you going to attempt the Bai Hua list?"
"That's right"
"Get on the boat"
As soon as the two of them got on, the boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the river.
"Ahem, then, if you want to attempt the list in the royal city, you'll have to get past me"
The boatman said as he pushed the boat.
"Please guide me" Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist.
The boatman said: "There's a Serpent Dragon in this river, kill it for me"
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
Leng Tian Xing was in disbelief: "Dragon? We're going to kill a dragon? "
"That's right, you were able to gain the favor of the Saint's sword, so you should be able to handle a dragon — — don't worry, it's just a young dragon, it's not an extremely powerful Daemonic Beast, and it definitely can't be one of those legendary True Dragons."
"Even if it's a young dragon, it only needs one strike to kill us, how are we supposed to kill it?" Leng Tian Xing shrugged.
"That's your problem, if you want to give up, you can return to the shore and leave Bai Hua Immortal country" the boatman said.
"You're deliberately making things difficult, I've never heard of such a difficult test before!" Leng Tian Xing angrily said. Ye Ye Chinese
He looked at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said nothing.
— — after all, this boatman is Xie Dao Ling, what else can I say?
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the river, only to see that under the calm surface, there was a rapid undercurrent flowing for a thousand miles.
Events have changed.
In the other timeline of the closed loop, I and Leng Tian Xing only managed to catch a demonic fish.
But this time, we're going to catch a Serpent Dragon.
It seems the Earth sword's return to my hands has caused Hundred Flowers Fairy to become serious and want to carefully assess me.
I'm only a qi training realm cultivator, how could I possibly kill a Serpent Dragon?
But I still have to.
After all, this is Xie Dao Ling's test, how can I not accept it?
"If we kill it, won't the Saint blame us?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The boatman replied: "We won't"
"Very well"
Gu Qing Shan looked at Leng Tian Xing and said: "I have a way"
"What way? We can't possibly kill a dragon "
"But I have a way"
"Then tell me"
"I need you to lure it into the water"
Leng Tian Xing thought for a bit, then without saying anything, he took off his armor and his boots.
"You're not going to ask me what I'm going to do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"My life was saved by you — — since you want me to lure it, I'll do it. I'm guessing that you must have some kind of powerful formation passed down in your family to deal with it" Leng Tian Xing confidently said.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
That's right.
In Leng Tian Xing's mind, I'm a highly skilled formation cultivator, capable of using the power of formations to kill countless demons by myself.
If that's the case …
Gu Qing Shan took out the simple formation plate.
— — -how could such a basic formation plate be able to arrange formations capable of killing dragons?
I'm not strong enough to arrange such a formation.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a few moments, then filled it with spirit stones again and quickly tapped it with both hands.
He began to arrange another formation.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan tapped the formation plate with his hand. An invisible light began to shine from the plate.
The ferryman squinted his eyes and smiled: "I've never seen such a formation before — — so you have a unique understanding of formations"
"Brother Leng, you can go down now, I'll support you from the boat" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Very well!" Leng Tian Xing replied.
He jumped up high, dived into the water, and quickly swam out of sight.
The ferryman asked again: "Young man, where did you get that formation from?"
"It's passed down in my family" Gu Qing Shan clasped her fist.
"Can it kill a dragon?"
"Not really, it's used for defense, if the other party is a dragon, it can probably block one attack"
"Only one attack? For a formation plate like that, it's already used to its limit. I'll be honest, with your strength, it's impossible to kill a dragon "
"Then you still want us to kill it?"
"That's right"
The two of them exchanged glances.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and said: "Senior, with my companions and my strength, we really can't kill that dragon — —"
Before he could finish his words, the river around the boat was suddenly frozen by frost.
Leng Tian Xing broke through the ice and shouted: "That dragon is too strong, I had no choice but to unleash a frost spell in advance to escape. It's here!"
Gu Qing Shan looked down at the frozen river, only to see a long black shadow crazily breaking through the ice, already very close to the surface.
Gu Qing Shan held the formation plate in her hand and shouted: "Formation, activate!"
Rays of light gathered on the formation plate and went into Gu Qing Shan's body.
Boom — —
The ice surface broke.
A snow-white Serpent Dragon flew out.
In a split second, Gu Qing Shan jumped out of the boat to face the Serpent Dragon — — -
The Serpent Dragon opened its mouth without hesitation and tried to bite Gu Qing Shan.
"Watch out!" Leng Tian Xing exclaimed.
The ferryman formed a hand seal and coldly stared at this.
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change as she drew her sword to face the Serpent Dragon's terrifying fangs.
At the very next moment — —
The Serpent Dragon's eyes flashed with ridicule as it suddenly sped up, agilely circling around and appeared behind Gu Qing Shan in the blink of an eye.
With Gu Qing Shan's current cultivation, she couldn't even catch its movements!
The Serpent Dragon opened its mouth wide and bit Gu Qing Shan.
In a split second, Gu Qing Shan put her hand on the formation plate!
Countless rays of light appeared from the formation plate in front of Gu Qing Shan's chest, temporarily pushing the Serpent Dragon's mouth open.
In a split second, Gu Qing Shan wielded her sword with both hands and stabbed backwards.
Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance]
A magnificent Sword Qi burst out and condensed into the shadow of a giant sword in the mouth of the Jiao Dragon.
The world went silent.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
Blinding sword phantoms exploded from the Serpent Dragon's mouth, giving off an ear-splitting sound.
Before the Serpent Dragon could even scream, it turned into a cloud of crimson mist and was swept away by the intense wind.
Reversal of victory and defeat!
In the blink of an eye, the Serpent Dragon was completely cut down by a single sword strike, not even a speck of it was left.
Gu Qing Shan landed on the floating ice, shook off the dragon blood on the Earth Sword, then tied it around his waist.
He walked back to the boat and clasped his fist at the ferryman:
"Senior, we can't kill the Serpent Dragon, but this sword is in my hand — — -"
