After the silver waves, it was cloudless for thousands of miles.
The view was extremely wide and unobstructed.
Between heaven and earth, in Chang 'an, there was silence. There was no longer the hustle and bustle of the past.
Occasionally, a breeze would blow, but Chang 'an did not frown like the spring water.
When the breeze entered the city tower, Chang 'an would not worry.
The largest city of the human race seemed to be in a deep sleep today.
There was silence under the sun.
In the spirit boat, Lu Qingshan and the Water Moon Temple Lord flashed out.
Looking at the empty city, the traces left by Li Qiubai's sword that went straight through the 18 gates, and the wide central road that was full of devastation, Lu Qingshan was silent.
Clearly, there was only the city tower that had weathered thousands of years in front of him, but in Lu Qingshan's eyes, there seemed to be a crowd of moving heads, children holding fruit skewers covered in frosting, hawkers, women with makeup, cultivators, and a sword that went through heaven and earth.
This place was once lively and prosperous.
Above the vault of heaven, Xie Qingyun's figure appeared from the sword light. His expression was calm and gentle, and there was an elegant temperament in his eyes.
Between heaven and earth, there was a sword will that did not dissipate.
He stood still for a long time to feel the ancient sword will, and then said slowly, "Li Qiubai, what a sword."
The sword of a sword cultivator was different from the sword of others.
Others had a sword, but that was because they really had a sword.
But a sword cultivator had a sword. It could be a sword, a sword style, a sword skill, a sword will, a sword heart, or even a person's Dao.
.....
Da Xia Kingdom's palace, in the imperial study.
Xie Qingyun, Xia Hong, and the Temple Lord of Tianji who had just arrived gathered together.
The three of them had been talking for a long time and were about to come to an end.
"Revered Xia, my condolences." The Temple Lord of Tianji finally sighed and said to the female Revered Lord who had maintained a cold expression from beginning to end.
"What's there to grieve about?" The female Revered Lord was slightly shocked, but her expression did not change.
The Temple Lord of Tianji said no more.
Xia Hou told them about Qing Province, Lord Xuan, Heavenly River City, how to rebuild Chang 'an, Yan Lan Pass …
Xia Hou had been in the High Lord's position for ten thousand years. Although he did not practice martial arts, he was very good at governing a country. He had considered almost every aspect of it.
The only thing he did not mention was the Sword Immortal of Chang 'an.
When you say everything, the only thing you don't say is the most important thing.
The Temple Lord of the Heaven Secret Temple sighed inwardly.
Just because he didn't say anything didn't mean it didn't happen.
However, he also understood that Xia Hou was not lying to herself. This was the only way to support her to pull on the last string, to support her to continue her responsibility until the very last moment …
The Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Temple was a wise man. He didn't try to enlighten or persuade Xia Hou.
Because.
Love moves in the world, but in the midsummer white porcelain plum soup, the sound of broken ice clanking against porcelain.
The world's love tribulations are nothing more than the three nines of the nine black tiles and yellow flowers.
The world's obsessions are nothing more than a thousand layers of ice in the middle of winter, weak water, and thousands of layers of ice. Nothing can move them.
A person's obsession was not something that could be removed by human power.
.....
Xie Qingyun and the Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Temple left the study together.
"Without Lu Qingshan, the massacre in Chang 'an this time would have been much worse." After the two walked silently for a while, the Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Temple suddenly opened his mouth.
Without waiting for Xie Qingyun to answer, the Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Temple continued, "Shuiyue told me that Chang 'an Sword Immortal obtained a full portion of the Sword Dao fate when he opened the Gate of Heaven."
"No one knows what Temple Lord Dongming saw in the Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Mirror. However, the reason why he set the new year's name as Tianyuan was to take the meaning of Tianyuan." The Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Temple continued.
Lin Dongming was the previous Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Temple.
"No one knows who is that Tianyuan." Xie Qingyun finally spoke.
"I originally thought it would be Li Qiubai or Chu Mushen." The Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Temple's eyes were incomparably deep as he asked, "However, the death of Chang 'an Sword Immortal made me think of a sentence. The sword of the previous dynasty couldn't kill the officials of the current dynasty, so how can the chess piece of Chang' an determine the chess game of Tianyuan?"
Xie Qingyun was silent for a long time before he finally said, "Your idea is very bold."
The Temple Lord of Heaven Secret Temple shrugged and suddenly changed the topic. He said, "Lu Qingshan is a precious jade that needs to be carved well."
"I know." Xie Qingyun replied, "The Sword Sect has always been like this."
It was not to protect, but to carve.
Every truly powerful cultivator had to walk their own path and not rely on someone else's protection.
.....
Lu Qingshan paced on the empty streets of Chang 'an.
A huge sense of sorrow appeared in his heart, accompanied by an indescribable sense of pride.
He already knew everything that had happened in the battle of Chang 'an City.
Li Qiubai, like his name, was undefeated in his life.
"This is the Sword Opening the Gate of Heaven." Lu Qingshan said silently.
This was the last version that he had experienced before coming to this world.
Although it happened two hundred years earlier than in his previous life.
It was all because of his arrival.
In fact, from another point of view, the bloody massacre that happened two hundred years earlier was a good thing for the Human Race.
It gave the Human Race more time to recuperate after the bloody massacre of Chang 'an.
More importantly, Li Qiubai opened the Gate of Heaven two hundred years earlier, which was equivalent to giving the sword cultivators two hundred years more time.
Of course, this bloody massacre in Chang 'an that happened two hundred years earlier would definitely change the established plot beyond recognition.
However, all of this had lost its meaning to Lu Qingshan.
Because the plot after the Sword Opening the Gate of Heaven was unknown to him.
It did not matter if something was unknown or not.
There was no one in the empty streets.
King Qing and Venerable Xuan were too powerful, and the Blood Symbol Formula was too strange. The cultivators in Chang 'an City did not struggle too much when they died, so Chang' an City did not suffer too much damage from the fighting.
This place was different from Great Peace City and Donglin City. This was the majestic city of the Human Race, the imperial capital of the Da Xia Kingdom, and an incomparably rich place.
Most importantly, it had a history of twenty thousand years, and was the symbol of the Human Race.
No amount of wind or rain could completely destroy this city. It would not be long before Chang 'an City was rebuilt amidst the devastation, gradually regaining its former liveliness.
Of course, this would take time, and it would be difficult.
However, the Human Race had always been a resilient race.
Lu Qingshan, whose mind was drifting, suddenly frowned, then quickly relaxed.
A man appeared at the end of the empty street.
Lu Qingshan stopped and looked over.
With a single glance, he knew who this person was.
The Sword Sect's Sect Master, Sword Immortal Qingyun.
He had the appearance of a middle-aged man. His black hair draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were clear and bright. His face was as clear as jade, and his figure was tall and imposing.
He stood there without moving, and his eyes were deep as he sized up Lu Qingshan.
"Daoyun's disciple, Lu Qingshan?" the Sword Immortal asked gently.
Lu Qingshan nodded and said respectfully, "Greetings, Sect Master."
"I had originally instructed Daoyun to have you pay a visit to my Clear Cloud Palace after returning to Jade Gate Pass. I didn't expect to see you here first," Xie Qingyun said softly. "Very good. Even though your cultivation is advancing at lightning speed, your aura is stable. Clearly, you aren't advancing rashly."
Lu Qingshan cupped his fists and said seriously, "This kid knows what's important and won't neglect the fundamentals."
Xie Qingyun nodded slightly and sighed. "I heard from Daoyun that you have quite the talent for swordsmanship. I wanted to take a look."
His greeting was exactly the same as Xia Daoyun's. Or perhaps it could be said that Xia Daoyun had inherited the old Sect Master's habit.
This was how sword cultivators communicated. There was no need to say too much. Everything was to be discussed during the exchange of blows.
Lu Qingshan obeyed without holding back.
In that instant, the elemental energy in his body surged, as if a true dragon was awakening. The powerful elemental energy fluctuations shocked even Xie Qingyun, who nodded continuously.
"Boom!"
Lu Qingshan's aura was still rising. The elemental energy in his body surged and overflowed. One could vaguely make out the shape of a dragon, as if a vast ocean was surging.
"Heavenly Sword," he said softly in his mind.
With a buzz, a red light flashed, and the Dragonsparrow appeared in his hand.
"Summer Rain … Fall!" he shouted softly.
In that instant.
The continuous drizzling rain filled the sky, everywhere, everywhere.
These were the afterimages left behind by the sword's trajectory.
Overbearing.
Each sword strike was more powerful than the one before, and its aura was especially powerful.
A light flashed through Xie Qingyun's eyes, but on the surface, he smiled and willed it.
A boundless will appeared out of nowhere, drawing a semicircle in the air. The sword qi was extremely ancient, and it blocked Lu Qingshan's sword strike.
One strike after another, Lu Qingshan slashed out fifteen times in an instant, but they were all deflected by Xie Qingyun's boundless sword qi.
The ten feet distance between him and the sword immortal was like the end of the world, and he could never cross it.
It seemed to be futile, but after the sixteenth strike, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Spring Breeze … Return," he shouted in his mind.
It was a secret sword that would hit within five hundred feet, and it could be used together with other secret swords.
This was the combination of Spring Breeze and Summer Rain's seventeenth strike.
Lu Qingshan finally broke through the ten feet distance of Imminent Skyline.
He pointed his sword at Xie Qingyun's chest.
However, at the intersection of the sword tip and the chest, there was a thin, almost invisible layer of air flowing, stopping Lu Qingshan's Dragonsparrow from advancing.
"Very good," Xie Qingyun praised softly, then asked: "I've never seen these two secret sword techniques before, did you create them yourself?"
"I comprehended them on top of comprehending other people's sword techniques, in addition to the sword immortal Chang 'an taught me," Lu Qingshan told the truth, not hiding anything.
"You're humble. The way of the sword has always been one where each new generation excels the previous one. It's only natural that you stand on the shoulders of others." Xie Qingyun's eyes were filled with satisfaction. "This Secret Sword was created by you after all. Your comprehension of the way of the sword is very high."
Lu Qingshan withdrew his Dragonsparrow, and without waiting for him to speak, the sword immortal said: "Currently, among the younger generation of the sword sect, in terms of the sword path, you are the best."
The sword immortal in his previous life, whom he could only look up to, gave him such a high evaluation. Logically speaking, Lu Qingshan should be secretly happy.
However, Lu Qingshan discovered that the current him, other than his will, there was nothing else.
The will of a sword cultivator was as gentle as jade, noble as a gentleman.
Xie Qingyun took a few more steps back, carefully sizing up this junior of the sword sect, and remembered what the master of the Divine Mystery Temple said just now.
Lu Qingshan was a sword cultivator favored by the sword path providence.
The providence released by Li Qiubai's opening of the Gate of Heaven should have been divided among thousands of sword cultivators in the world, but it all flowed into one person.
Even the two sword immortals did not occupy the entire providence.
Strange, strange, it should not be.
It was not strange, the providence of the sword path loved the person who truly held the sword.
Placing a piece … Tianyuan?
"Prince Qing colluded with Demons, massacred Chang 'an, and killed his compatriots, and was beheaded by the sword immortal Chang' an. What do you think?" Xie Qingyun suddenly asked.
"Even in the world of cultivators, there are rules and etiquette, if someone does not abide by them, they need to be punished."
"Indeed." Xie Qingyun nodded and said, "The rules of the sword sect are very simple, our swords are the etiquette, and the rules."
"When you opened the peak, I was not in the sect, so I did not give you a gift." Before Lu Qingshan could react, the sword immortal was probably very satisfied with this extremely promising and capable junior of the sword path. He continued, "But since I met you today, I will make up for this gift that has been owed for several years."
Xie Qingyun took a step forward, patted Lu Qingshan's shoulder, and said kindly, "After all, the world in the future will still need you to point out the mountains and rivers."
Finally, he raised his hand, and an old dragon sword talisman suddenly floated down and landed in Lu Qingshan's palm.
Then, the sword immortal brushed past the junior, ascending to the sky in one step, and disappeared in a flash. He let out a long sigh. "The burden on the shoulders of the sword cultivators of your generation is not light, don't think it is heavy."
Xie Qingyun's voice was calm. His figure appeared above the green clouds, but his heart was filled with all sorts of emotions.
The person he wanted to give this old dragon sword talisman to the most was his own disciple, Xia Daoyun.
This was because in the sword sect, the sword cultivator Xie Qingyun thought the most highly of had always been this female sword cultivator, the one who he praised as' no need for light green or red, she is naturally first class among flowers'.
However, with Xia Daoyun's status, she was destined to become a sword cultivator of the sword sect, but definitely not just a sword cultivator of the sword sect. She was also unable to receive this old dragon sword talisman.
Apart from this, there was no other sword cultivator in the sect more suitable than Xia Daoyun.
Sword cultivators could kill people.
However, in order to receive this old dragon sword talisman, not only could they kill people, but they also had to be able to teach people.
In the beginning, he didn't pay attention to Lu Qingshan.
… No matter how outstanding Lu Qingshan was, his cultivation was still low.
However, Xia Daoyun held this disciple of hers in high regard, and even wanted Lu Qingshan to receive this old dragon sword talisman twice.
Because of this, Xie Qingyun began to pay attention to this youngest sword cultivator of the sword sect.
When Lu Qingshan reached the fifth level from the fourth level in a single year, he was finally moved. He instructed Xia Daoyun to personally meet Lu Qingshan.
However, he never expected that in less than a month's time, he would meet Lu Qingshan under such coincidental circumstances.
What was even more unexpected was that the fifth level from a month ago had now reached the peak of the sixth level.
He didn't ask what had happened in the past month.
He only tested Lu Qingshan's sword.
That was all, and it was already enough.
He understood Xia Daoyun's temperament, and he also understood Li Qiubai's personality. He also understood the direction of the sword dao's destiny.
To be able to receive such high praise from Xia Daoyun, to have Li Qiubai teach him a sword technique, and to receive the favor of the sword dao's destiny, as well as this sword trial …
Lu Qingshan was completely qualified to receive this old dragon sword talisman.
However, receiving the old dragon sword talisman at the sixth level was still something that had never happened in the history of the sword sect.
The reason why Xie Qingyun did this was all because of the Heaven's Secrets Temple Lord's words.
The Heaven's Origin Chess piece determined the Heaven's Origin Chess game, but there wasn't much time left.
Jade couldn't become anything without being carved.
As such, not only did he have to carve it, he had to carve it quickly and ruthlessly.
.....
The Sword Immortal had already disappeared.
Lu Qingshan lowered his head to look at the old dragon sword talisman in his hand. His pupils contracted slightly, and he pursed his lips. He didn't know what to say.
The sword talisman was in the shape of an azure dragon, with green clouds on its front. A green sword pierced through the clouds.
It was the sword sect's Dao Artifact, Fuyao.
On the back, the two words "sword sect" were carved in flamboyant calligraphy.
On the lower right corner of the two words, there were two slightly smaller words. They were also written with vigorous strokes.
Young master.
Together, it was the sword sect's young master.
This meant that from now on, Lu Qingshan would have another identity. The sword sect's young master.
Of course, this was just a title.
There could be more than one young master in the sword sect.
Becoming a young master didn't mean that one would become the sword sect's master in the future.
Whether this title could become reality and be acknowledged by everyone depended on the sword sect's rules.
— Let's see if the sword in Lu Qingshan's hand could convince everyone, and if it could make the sword sect's three thousand swords follow him.
However, no matter what, this was a supreme honor. It meant that Lu Qingshan had at least received Sword Immortal Qingyun's acknowledgment.
Currently, the only young master of the sword sect was Lu Qingshan.
