Lou Xiaoyi acted alone. His primary target was naturally the Sword Vein. Then, with the help of the Sword Vein, he would start to lobby those unorthodox sects.
The biggest benefit of the Jade Booklet being open to them was that the map was open. This was a necessity for carrying out missions. Otherwise, if dozens of people were to charge into the Exterior realm in a daze, they wouldn't even be able to familiarize themselves with the environment for at least a few decades.
Therefore, for the Exterior realm, which was the territory of the orthodox Dharma lineage and which was the position of the unorthodox sects, the difference between the Four Symbols Heaven, and the division between Buddhism and Daoism, all had their own rules. These were things that had gradually formed over millions of years.
In the unspeakable lands of the Exterior realm, the orthodox Daoism adopted the strategy of grouping together. This was mainly to make it easier for them to come and go during the Dharma Assembly, so that they wouldn't have to waste precious time on running around. Of course, there were always those who were unique and stood out from the masses.
The unorthodox sects also tended to group together, but it wasn't as obvious as the orthodox Daoism. They were clearly scattered, with countless unorthodox sects mixed together, making it very messy. Among them, the ones who were the closest to each other were the cultivators from the same sect. However, the difficulty of the Blight realm was so high that it wasn't easy for each sect to produce one. The few Blight realm cultivators that could gather together were all powerful sects in their respective universes. Overall, they were very few.
The Xuanyuan Sword Sect was considered to be very powerful among these unorthodox sects. They currently had a total of four Exterior realm cultivators, including Lou Xiaoyi. According to the time they entered, they were Tingxie, Chu Bai, Zhou Xing, and Lou Xiaoyi. Of course, Lou Xiaoyi didn't count as he only entered occasionally.
Near the few Swordsman in Xuanyuan, there were quite a number of Weakening Sword Vein cultivators. Among them, there were a few powerful Sword Vein cultivators that were similar to Xuanyuan. Therefore, this area was nicknamed as the Cloud of the Sword Vein. There were around one hundred to two hundred Swordsman cultivators gathered together. Not far from them, there was a place that was even larger than the Sword Vein cultivators' gathering point. However, there were a lot more people here than the Swordsman cultivators. There were at least a thousand of them, and there were still a lot of them floating outside.
The Sword Vein was filled with the aura of the sword. It was either frenzied or restrained, sharp or reserved, and the Dao Realm was ever-changing. Its cultivation was incomparably deep, and it was filled with killing intent as if it wanted to devour its target.
These were not Xuanyuan's Sword Dao. The core essence of Xuanyuan's Sword Dao was one word — Wariness! On the surface, it was erratic and unpredictable, as if it wanted to leave but stayed. However, in this wandering, there was a hidden killing intent.
Xuanyuan was not the only Sword Vein here!
Lou Xiaoyi had roamed the universe for two thousand years. He had seen some Sword Vein, such as the Zhou Xian Sword Vein, the Heaven's Choice Sword Vein, the Tiger Hill Sword Vein, and even the Xizhao Sword Vein. To be honest, he was very disappointed! It was either mediocre or declining.
Every Swordsman had a Sword Heart that was searching for its roots. What they hoped to encounter the most during their travels in the void was a Sword Vein inheritance that would make their eyes light up. Unfortunately, he probably did not have the chance in the Eastern Elephant Sky! It was not only the places he had been to, but also the places he had met so many friends in the Eastern Sky. It seemed that none of them had mentioned a Sword Vein orthodoxy in the universe that could be mentioned in the same breath as Xuanyuan. This was probably not good news for a Swordsman.
He had no way of roaming the entire universe. The only place he could hope to meet his peers was the Interior and Exterior Scenery Skies. There was no Interior Scenery Skies, so his only hope now was the Exterior Scenery Skies! There were hundreds of Swordsman's auras in the Blight Realm here. Of course, this also meant that there was a corresponding powerful Sword Vein orthodoxy in the Origin World.
Without hesitation, he charged into the Sword Vein clouds. In the blink of an eye, a sword light flew out diagonally. This was the path of an External Sword, but it was executed with great precision!
Lou Xiaoyi did not hold back either. With a sweep of his flying sword, the two sword lights circled in the air and clashed hundreds of times. The silver vase broke and water splashed, and the cavalry clashed with their swords and spears. The instantaneous changes in the Dao Realm, the changes in strength, the changes in gathering and dispersing, the changes in rhythm … In the short span of a few breaths and hundreds of swords, the two Swordsman's profound swordsmanship and keen observation were fully displayed!
Cheers came from the Sword Vein clouds all around! No one came out! This was the way Swordsman greeted others. If it had been someone from another orthodoxy, they would have received an even fiercer challenge from the Swordsman. This was not a place where strangers could enter as they pleased!
However, Lou Xiaoyi's move was his pass! He was one of them! Therefore, he could go anywhere he wanted! It was that simple! However, to other orthodoxies, this was something that could not be replicated.
Among the rows of purple spirit clouds, there was a spirit cloud with an aura that he was very familiar with! It was also his target! With a flash of his body, he charged into it, causing sighs to be heard from the spirit clouds around him. Such a good young man, yet he was the seed of another Sword Vein. What a pity!
As soon as Lou Xiaoyi charged into the spirit cloud, he immediately sensed three powerful auras in the depths of the cloud. In the next moment, three Taoists with different appearances appeared in front of him!
One was a thin old man with his hands behind his back, one was a burly man with a sword on his back, and the last one was a pretty boy with a sword in his hand.
Lou Xiaoyi bowed. "I am Lou Xiaoyi, the third, sixth, and fifth generation disciple of Xuanyuan. Greetings to the three elders!"
The old man was Ting Xie, a mighty Fourth Decay cultivator with an Internal Sword. He looked at him carefully. "Little Yi, are you here to cause trouble?"
The burly man was Chu Bai, an External Sword cultivator. He glared at him. "Little Yi! I heard that you made us lose our external swords? "
The last young man was Zhou Xing. He was all smiles. "It's fine if it's gone! It's good that I don't have to go to the Lower Realm anymore. My disciples and grand-disciples are all gone. It's a good time to relax! "
This was Lou Xiaoyi's first impression of the current Xuanyuan Sword Sect's ancestors. Of course, he could also be considered half an ancestor now. The only thing he lacked was the accumulation of time!
In Xuanyuan's history, the ancestors were roughly divided into three levels!
The first level was Emperor Xuanyuan and Thirteenth Ancestor Li Wuya! Both of them had the experience of becoming immortals. Emperor Xuanyuan founded Xuanyuan, while Ancestor Li Wuya merged with the Connate Great Dao and became a Golden Immortal of the Dao Immortal Realm. Later on, he even raised the curtain of the change of the era!
The second level was Fourth Ancestor Heng Zhou and Sixth Ancestor Wei Ji. Not only did they make great contributions when Xuanyuan Sword Sect was first established, but they were also the pillars of Xuanyuan's development. They also left behind two branches of swordsmanship for Xuanyuan Sword Sect, the Graceful Sword and the Killing Sword!
Among these four people, other than Fourth Ancestor Jiang Heng Zhou who had died according to the sect's ancient records, Wei Ji was actually still alive and well. Lou Xiaoyi even saw him once in the Interior Realm. However, this had nothing to do with the level of cultivation. It was purely due to the abnormal lifespan of the strange beast!
There were still two people of the first level left. In fact, their life and death were still unclear even now! Everyone agreed that Emperor Xuanyuan should still be alive and well! However, ever since he became an immortal, there were no signs of him at all!
Previously, Ancestor Li Wuya's mainstream view was that he went with the morals and collapsed along with Dao. However, all kinds of conspiracy theories were rampant now. It was as if he had climbed out of his coffin and made a comeback!
