The monk paused and said proudly, "For decades, I've collected all the sword intents in the world, and finally came up with two answers."
"This kind of thing is based on one's own will, how can there be an answer?" Gu Qing Shan disagreed.
The monk waved his hand and said, "Almsgiver, don't underestimate my answer, these are the sayings of sword cultivators for the past ten thousand years."
"I'm all ears," Gu Qing Shan said calmly.
The monk shook his head and said, "The first saying is, no matter what he does, I will slash him with my sword until a new heaven and earth is created, teaching all living beings to listen to my will."
"The second saying is, cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current, the same goes for swordsmanship, whoever obstructs my path of swordsmanship will be my mortal enemy, even if it's the Heavens, I will slash them to show you."
Gu Qing Shan listened and pondered.
The monk bowed and said, "These two sayings are the true meaning of sword cultivators, what do you say, almsgiver? Please elaborate, almsgiver. "
Gu Qing Shan accepted the bow and thought for a while before saying, "The sword has nothing to do with living beings, it only concerns one's own will."
The monk was startled and asked, "Why do you say so?"
Gu Qing Shan said, "If the heart is hesitant, the sword will be sluggish, if the heart is free of worries, the sword will be free of obstacles."
The monk shook his head and said, "Almsgiver, don't beat around the bush, please answer my question directly."
Seems like I'll have to see for myself, Gu Qing Shan sighed and calmed down.
He said, "What I mean is, if you want to kill, don't think so much."
"Hmm?" The monk did not understand.
Gu Qing Shan said, "If you want to save living beings, save them with the sword. If you want to kill living beings, kill them with the sword. If you think too much and dawdle, you won't be able to do anything, instead, you will easily become a demon."
The monk was stunned.
Gu Qing Shan added, "When you really use the sword, you will be in a life and death situation, one wrong move and you will be doomed eternally. At that time, you must eliminate all thoughts, be invulnerable, not be disturbed by anything, and only have one heart."
"What is your heart?" The monk asked.
Gu Qing Shan sternly said, "Murderous intent."
"Amitabha. Benefactor, you will definitely commit grave sins in the future." The monk put his palms together.
"You've already picked up your sword. Isn't it hypocritical to talk about sins?" Gu Qing Shan said in a carefree manner, "Kindness must be repaid, and hatred must be repaid. The world is just like this. If one cares too much about sin, his Sword Will will be restrained in every aspect. How can he be considered a sword cultivator?"
The monk was momentarily speechless.
Outside the scroll, the palace maid suddenly pursed her lips.
She took out a misty communication talisman.
"Well said. Old Bald Donkey, you're using words to block me. Let's see how you're going to respond now."
As the maid spoke, she activated the spirit power in her hand. The Communication Talisman suddenly turned into a flame and flew into the sky.
The palace maid's eyes flickered, and she murmured softly, "This kid seems to have killed his way out of the demons, but as for the specifics, we'll have to wait until he successfully enters the list."
She casually formed a hand seal. Gu Qing Shan jumped out from the scroll.
"You passed just like that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The palace maid answered: "Hm, I passed"
"Very well, that monk seems to be a bit unconvinced. If I keep talking, I might break his Dao heart. That wouldn't be good" Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Hearing that, the palace maid's mood improved a lot and smiled: "Originally, I had prepared a few more tests, but I've suddenly decided to let you try the sword list right now"
Gu Qing Shan was overjoyed: "Thank you very much!"
He didn't dare to say anything else.
The palace maid smiled as she walked in front of the green jade screen, put her hand on it and said: "Inside this screen, there's a Great Desolate Sword Array"
"Great Desolate Sword Array" Gu Qing Shan was shocked, his expression became serious.
In the past life, he had never been to Bai Hua country, so he only heard a lot of things about Hundred Flowers Fairy after the fact.
The sword array in front of him came from the Great Desolate Era, so Gu Qing Shan had never heard of it before.
That era belonged to Divinities. According to the fragmented written records, the power of Divinities wasn't something a cultivator could go against. So every item left behind from the Great Desolate Era contained great power.
It was an extremely prosperous era, but the disappearance of the entire era is still a mystery even now.
In just a single year, all the Divinities disappeared without a trace.
It was like history was cut in half overnight.
It wasn't until 5 years after the game started that the first Divinity was summoned by a player in an accident.
The palace maid continued: "What made Immortal Eminence confused was that even though this sword array was subdued by her, she still couldn't find the real sword spirit"
"Your task is to enter the sword array and find the sword spirit"
"Immortal Eminence subdued this sword array?" Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked. "Can you tell me, how did Immortal Eminence subdue it?"
The palace maid was a bit surprised, then answered: "This was a birthday gift from Xuanyuan Tianzun to Immortal Eminence, Immortal Eminence immediately placed a seal on it and subdued it"
"One of the three Saints, Xuanyuan Tianzun? Birthday gift? "Gu Qing Shan had a strange expression on her face.
The palace maid answered: "That's right"
"Very well, I'll go in and try"
Since Gu Qing Shan had an idea, she felt a bit more confident.
The palace maid nodded, formed a hand seal and pointed at the green jade screen.
The green jade screen shook, letting out a blinding 7-colored light.
From the void of space, the silhouettes of immortal beasts appeared one after another, heavenly music played, colorful clouds gathered, covering the air above the green jade screen.
A figure appeared on top of the screen.
The face couldn't be seen clearly, but this figure was definitely dressed like a cultivator from the Age of Old.
The mysterious man raised his hand and pointed at the sky. Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky, and the chaotic space turbulence raged in the crack.
The figure pointed at the ground again, causing the earth to split open, the four seas boiled, all living beings lost their life force.
Two simple points, the world itself changed, this is beyond any cultivator's imagination, even a Saint wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
Such a spectacular scene completely outshines any cultivator of the current era.
The palace maid was shaken, thought for a bit, then reminded: "After you go in, be careful, even if you can't find the weapon spirit, you can't forget your manners"
Seeing Gu Qing Shan's confused expression, the palace maid patiently explained: "Inside the screen, there are 11 silhouettes of Divinities, each of them contains their memories and personalities from when they were alive, you absolutely cannot offend them, otherwise even I won't be able to save you"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the strange scene on the green jade screen and replied: "Understood"
The palace maid's hand seal changed again, as a 7-colored light appeared from the screen and covered Gu Qing Shan.
A dignified voice came.
"Junior, you can enter only after you light the incense"
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan looked at the palace maid.
The palace maid nodded.
Gu Qing Shan could only light the incense, bow, and enter the door.
As soon as he disappeared, the palace maid's expression changed from the relaxed one before to solemnly stare at the green jade screen.
