Chapter 159: Shangqing Sword Forging



"The Sword of Stopping War? That's not bad."

Shangqing Daojun pondered for a moment and said, "Since you have entrusted me with this, I naturally have no reason to refuse. However, the material of this sword is part of the sharp edge of Gou Chen's weapon, which contains the direction of the Dao. It will take a lot of time to temper it, and it will not be done overnight."

"in addition……"

“Who was it made for?”

Shangqing Daojun, who knew about the young Taoist's recent affairs, pretended to know nothing. When Hou Tu Huang Di Ji Niangniang told him Qi Wuhuo's name, Shangqing Daojun smiled and said, "All weapons have a form, just like my sword and your Hongtian mace. If they were given to other extraordinary people, they would be able to control them, but they would definitely not have the power that you and I have."

"If you take my sword, give it to Yuqing."

"Or maybe you can give Daoyou's Heaven-shaking Mace to the Supreme."

"At most, they can only exert 60% of their power."

"Because when it was cast, the practitioner's Qi and blood were put into it. So when it is held in the palm, the Qi and blood are connected, just like using an arm to move a finger, and it can be used at will. The shape, length, weight, and material of the weapon are all in line with the owner. In this way, it can even exert a killing power that exceeds the divine weapon itself. That's how it is."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji looked at the handsome Taoist in front of him, sighed, and said gently:

"If you want to say something, just say it directly."

Shangqing Daojun said: "But if this weapon really belongs to him, and is different from the other divine weapons, then he must unite his mind and spirit to make the importance of this sword higher than all the other divine weapons, so-"

"I have to meet him in person before I can forge the sword."

"It would be best if you build a sword furnace right where he lives, and draw cold spring water to quench your sword. I will teach you every day..."

The voice of Shangqing Da Daojun paused slightly.

But he remained calm and said righteously:

"Ahem, watch, I mean, watch, 'watch him practice swordplay'!"

"in this way--"

"See his methods, know his movements, and understand his energy."

"Only in this way can a magic weapon that belongs to him be forged, rather than simply piling up natural materials and treasures together. This way, it will only be a weapon that can be used by anyone and has no special features. If this is the case, I would not bother to do it."

Lord Shangqing looked calm, and everything he said was for the purpose of forging a good sword.

He was so calm and spoke so frankly that even he began to believe it.

Thoughts in my mind were turning rapidly.

Humph, that hot-tempered boy Xuandu did a good thing this time.

He actually helped his uncle to transfer that brat Taiyi away!

If not for this, with Taiyi sitting under the library guarding, he wouldn't be able to tell anyone, let alone watch such a fight between the two.

If you don't leave now, when will you leave?!

As for Qi Wuhuo, the fact that he could accomplish so many things with the body of a real person already made the Great Dao Lord very happy. In the end, he used force to stop war and sword to break the catastrophe, which made the Great Dao Lord Shangqing want to applaud, sing and say that he was destined to be my disciple!

After this incident, Daojun had been itching to do something. If he hadn't taken his face and the agreement into consideration, he would have appeared in person, revealed his identity, and accepted the young Taoist as his disciple. Now that he had such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?

Humph, Yuqing, oh Yuqing, I have said that I will not take the initiative to give you a chance and I will not go to see him.

But, this is Houtu asking me to do Her a favor, hahahahahaha, this is not the place I want to go!

You can’t imagine it!

Old bastard!

You are still in retreat.

I will soon live next to the contestant I value and do the fighting myself.

Can you, a prude, do that?

Can you do it?!

You can't do this!

Shangqing Daojun almost couldn't hold back from laughing out loud, but on the surface he only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his brows were handsome and free and easy, he held a whisk, and a sword at his waist, he had the free and easy air and the calmness and grace of a Taoist ancestor. Hou Tu Huang Di Ji didn't know about the bet between the two of them, and after a little thought, he knew that what Shangqing said was true.

She had the same thought.

The method of refining the spiritual treasure of Shangqing Da Daojun.

It is enough to sublimate the legend of the young Taoist stopping the war into weapons and refine it into spiritual treasures.

Even if she gave the Jie Sword Qingping to Qi Wuhuo, it would not be as suitable as this one, so she nodded and agreed immediately, saying, "Then let's make this agreement. At that time, I will leave a mountain spring and a flat land for you to forge the sword in Wuhuo's place of leisure."

The Taoist Master Shangqing was calm and said, "That's all."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji swept his sleeves, and the Thunder Mace turned into a streak of light and flew into his sleeves. Even though it was so heavy, it did not change at all. Shang Qing raised his eyes slightly. With the weight of Mount Buzhou plus the mountains and rivers of the entire world pressing on his shoulders, even a god would be affected instantly, but Hou Tu remained normal.

Shangqing swept his whisk and suppressed the thought of trying Hou Tu's methods. He just asked gently, "Where are you going, fellow Taoist?"

The gentle woman's white palm was covered under the sleeves. She lightly pressed the index and middle fingers with the palm that had just lifted Buzhou Mountain. Her thumb gently tapped the middle finger, tightened it like a bow, and then flicked it in the air casually. The air wave shook like thunder, and she answered gently:

"There was a little guy who was so bold that he scared me a lot."

"I want to go back."

"Give that little guy a lesson."

The Taoist Shangqing glanced at the marks left by the woman's casual finger snap.

She was a woman who could lift Mount Buzhou with one hand and attack the Lord of Weapons. Although her palms looked white and soft, she had the strongest brute force of the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Lords. The void seemed to be swept by some kind of overbearing magical power. The clouds that gathered again in the thirty-three heavens were torn directly in the middle, creating a chasm that stretched for thousands of miles.

Shang Qing hesitated for a moment and said:

"...Fellow Daoist, please hold back a little."

"It's okay. I understand."

The voice of the old Lord of Heaven could be heard from afar. The old Lord, who had to do all the dirty and tiring work, sighed and finally obeyed the order of the young Jade Emperor. Even though the possibility was slim, he wanted to try again, hoping to get Hou Tu back into the fold.

Seeing the old Lord of Heaven outside the thirty-three heavens, Shangqing Daojun looked at the old Lord of Heaven and said:

"It's hard for him."

"And today, the South Pole and the North Pole of the Heavenly Court are in a state of balance. Even I, Tai Shang, and Yu Qing's eldest disciple are all in calamity. Although the calamity has been temporarily stopped, there will definitely be more waves in such a situation. The contradictions between the North and South Poles will only become more and more acute. Why don't you give it a try and return to the Heavenly Court to become a respected god?"

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji replied: "I am also a king."

"Thousands of mountains and hills respect me as the emperor."

"Once a word is spoken, how can it be changed from one day to the next? Otherwise, the whole world will be in chaos."

"Besides, the balance between the North and South Poles is simple. If I enter, I'm afraid there will be many twists and turns..."

Shang Qing smiled and said, "That's true."

"They will definitely try to win over fellow Taoists, and many means, fighting, and killing are inevitable."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji smiled slightly, and then disappeared into thin air, having left the thirty-three heavens. Shang Qing Daozu swept his whisk over, and withdrew his thoughts from the calamity. He only thought about teaching the kid the basics himself one day, and he felt much happier. It didn't matter whether he taught him or not, what mattered was that Yu Qing didn't do that!

Well, I'll change the name then.

Qing Shang?

Or Chenyu?

ha!

I will teach you personally for a period of time.

If this is the case, is there any reason for failure after more than 490 years?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Yuqing, oh Yuqing, you are bound to lose!

The Grand Master was confident of victory, but at this moment, for some reason, he thought of the little girl from Qianniu Su who often went to the library. He paused for a moment, thinking about something, and said to himself, "Strange, why do I always think of that little girl... Could it be..."

"Is it an instinctive feeling that she has a better chance of winning?"

The Great Lord seemed to be thinking about something, then he waved his sleeves and said casually: "So what? So what if she can win?"

"I value this kid!"

"Besides, if she can win, then Qi Wuhuo can't win against Tai Shang Xuan Wei? What's the logic behind this?"

"I will personally teach you, and you will definitely win more beautifully!"

The old Lord's shout could be heard from afar. Lord Shangqing took a casual step, and the divine consciousness disappeared into thin air, and could not be found anymore.

"Is that true? When you left, Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi had already disappeared."

The young Jade Emperor was filled with regret, so he ordered the old Lord of Heaven to leave. Although both the Great Master Xuandu and the Great Emperor Taiyi Qinghua said that it was impossible for Hou Tu Huang Di Ji to come back as a chariot driver, he still wanted to give it a try. After the try, he failed.

The young Jade Emperor felt even more disappointed.

Immediately, I felt excited.

The struggle has ended, and now you should be crowned as Zhenwu!

In this way, I can finally see Zhenwu!

Therefore, the Jade Emperor began to feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart. He looked towards the jade table and saw the files recording the changes of the demon race. His expression became slightly calm.

Is this the revival of the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Clan and the ancient courts?

The demon spirits representing the ancient spirits began to move again, and with the operation of this behemoth, the whole world changed accordingly. Orders were passed in all directions, causing huge waves in the whole world. A large part of them were for the tribe of all spirits, in order to make all spirits abandon the decrees of the past Demon Emperor Taixiao and gather again as all spirits.

This part of the orders accounted for the vast majority, and the impact they produced was extremely huge and far-reaching.

Another part of the letter was delivered by another demon hero who had helped Yunqin and Qi Wuhuo to stick the jade talisman on the mountain. This order crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, crossed layers of clouds and cities, and finally arrived on the land of the human world and reached the Shenwu Dynasty.

“Report——!!!”

"General, there is intelligence that the demon tribe has gone to the imperial capital with a letter."

When the leader of the military strategists, Li Zhai, withdrew from the demon world, he left behind a series of backup plans. When he found a problem, he immediately passed it on to the front line. Li Zhai was silent, and put the roll of letter on the table with his backhand, raised his head and looked ahead -

He was a Taoist priest wearing a moon-white robe.

The national teacher of Qiu Longguo, the master of Tongdaoguan, and Taoist priest Tianyangzi.

Or perhaps, he should have been called Yuyangzi, but the character "Yu" was taken from him and the word was forgotten.

He is an immortal who has achieved profound Taoism with three flowers gathered at the top of his head.

His cultivation was full of the dignified and upright aura of Taoism, but it was said to come from—

【A wonderful fate】

I can't remember the rest of my teachers.

However, his methods were so ingenious that ordinary people could not match them. All the nearby Kyushu, including Qiu Longguo, took the opportunity to attack the Central Plains and occupy cities. Only the national teacher of Qiu Longguo, Tian Yangzi, did not harm the cities occupied by Qiu Longguo at all, and exchanged them all to Li Zhai in exchange for a casual chat.

"I am surprised that the Taoist priest behaves in this way."

"These are the nine great border cities of my Shenwu Jiuzhou. You captured them, and you're actually giving them back to me?"

Tian Yangzi said gently: "Because I have great ambitions."

"I am unwilling to be a pawn of the Emperor of the Shenwu Dynasty."

Li Zhai raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What do you mean, Taoist priest?"

Tian Yangzi said calmly: "The general led the righteous army of the world to attack the demon tribe, and he has a great reputation in the world. But now the Divine Martial Emperor has used various means to withdraw the border city defenses, and even said that the general wanted to take the people. This is because his achievements are too great and he wants to abolish the general's name. If a small country like us really takes the border at this moment, the general will come back in anger and will not be able to defend these cities, and will also suffer losses in troops."

"This is meaningless. On the big level, it will affect the human race's crusade against the demon race. On the medium level, we will have to use the troops of a small city and a small country to deal with the general's thundering wrath. On the small level, I am too arrogant to be the so-called pawn of the human emperor to check and balance the general."

Li Zhai looked deeply at the Imperial Master and said, "Although I heard that you are greedy for power and wealth."

"But now that we meet, I realize that Qiu Longguo is really lucky to have you."

Tianyangzi paused slightly.

For some reason, these words made him feel lost.

It seemed that he had made a choice to stay in his country, but lost something more important to him. Tian Yangzi smiled slightly and said casually: "It's okay. I am lucky to be praised by the general. I wonder what the general wants to do?"

Li Zhai pressed the letter: "...If other countries have the vision of the Taoist priest, it will be good."

"If he takes one of my cities, I will take two of his cities!"

"If you kill ten of my men, I will kill a hundred of his men. Tooth for tooth, blood for blood!"

Tian Yangzi's expression was slightly stern, as if he was alarmed by the murderous intent of the general, and then he smiled and said: "Then I wish the general a victory..." Li Zhai didn't say anything, but just pressed the letter, thinking coldly that the woman who had previously checked the powerful and the emperor in the court and allowed them to go to the expedition smoothly had fallen ill.

It seems to have been poisoned.

Qiong Yu was already weak, and she was trying hard to hold on to the situation, but she was eventually poisoned and fell down.

emperor……

You are still feeling complacent about your political tactics.

Wait...

He is coming back.

Li Zhai threw the letter in his hand into the burning brazier, and it was ignited in an instant. Before the words on the letter burned out, they fell into Tian Yangzi's eyes, making him slightly stunned. The flames rose up, like the flames on the giant bronze pillars in the court of the human world.

The Emperor drank, and several of his close ministers raised their glasses to celebrate:

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, unrivaled in the world!"

"Your Majesty is wise, and truly is a saintly emperor born in accordance with heaven!"

"Saint Emperor!"

"Congratulations to the Saint Emperor!"

"Congratulations to the Saint Emperor!"

All the ministers congratulated and drank until dawn. One old man looked at the emperor with a chill in his heart - when the Seventh Prince and the King of Qin sent troops, he fully supported them, and then after rescuing the people, he immediately asked the King of Qin to return to the capital. The King of Qin would definitely not agree, so the emperor directly withdrew the border defenses.

The fact that the Seventh Prince and the King of Qin did not come back several times seemed like they were just sitting there watching this border being breached.

He wanted to take advantage of the Seventh Prince's character and break his current reputation of conquering the demon world.

Also, most of the cavalry under his command came from border generals.

Now that the border has been breached, many of these brave generals in the army have lost their families, and they will naturally feel a grudge against the Seventh Prince for not returning the order. This will break the Seventh Prince's military spirit, and eventually the Human Emperor will gain the reputation of [destroying the demon world], [saving the human race], and [guarding the border], and the truth is not so important.

People in later generations will never know the truth.

But the Human Emperor looked gentle and calm, but in fact he was very proud and satisfied.

It was as if Wen Jing's name was already in his hands.

But at this moment, there were suddenly bursts of voices coming, it was a letter from the demon clan. The emperor looked solemn, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes, so he put down the wine glass and said: "It is a letter from the demon world, which concerns countless lives in the two worlds, and summons the prince of Baiguan."

According to historical records, the Human Emperor treated the visitors with great respect.

All officials gathered here, and there was ancient elegant music.

It was as if the Human Emperor was looking forward to something happening in the demon world.

And when he learned that the demon clan had sent a message to make peace and renew the eight thousand year agreement, visible emotional fluctuations and disbelief appeared on the face of the Human Emperor. Soon, the hero of the demon clan held out a file and said that this gift must be delivered immediately. It was for the personal teaching of my Emperor Wanling and must be given to the Human Emperor.

Then in silence, the luxurious box was delivered.

The Human Emperor opened the box.

I saw something held up by golden silk inside.

An arm.

It is covered with scales and looks hideous and ferocious.

It has an extremely strong aura of the big brother of the alliance, who had previously agreed to help the Human Emperor break the "curse" left by the Human Emperor eight thousand years ago and gain immortality!

The Human Emperor looked at the scales, confused for a moment, and said, "This is..."

The hero replied, "He is the rebellious leader of the demon tribe, Taixiao Arm."

"Behead it for the great saints to conquer!"

The Human Emperor's voice was a little hoarse: "You said that the alliance between the Ten Thousand Spirits and the Human Race 8,000 years ago... is..."

The demon hero said:

"It is the Lord of All Spirits."

"Taixiao is nothing but a traitor!!"

boom!!!

The Human Emperor's mind was blank. Ever since he met Taixiao during his travels before Jinzhou, and felt angry when he knew that the Human Emperor's destiny could not be immortal, to Jinzhou's final plan, and now to the final alliance, that dream of immortality has completely dissipated. All the things in the past were like illusions. Everything he had longed for for so many years lost all meaning at this moment.

The Human Emperor's hands were shaking and he was filled with rage.

Right above the Human Emperor Palace, blood spurted out of his mouth.

He fell down in dismay, and the ministers cried out in panic. The emperor was in a trance for a long time before he reached out his hand to stop the ministers. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his gorgeous brocade robe and said with a forced smile: "It's okay, it's okay!"

"Hahahaha, he's dead, a good death, a good death!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"I am happy."

"I'm so happy!!!"

Crown Prince Li Hui watched this scene.

The civil officials were led by him. When the historian finally didn't know how to record this part, he asked the prince about it and showed him the short part. It said [The emperor was so happy that he coughed up blood]

Li Hui was silent.

I found out the reason why the historian hesitated, and that was precisely because it was untrue, so I came to question him.

Li Hui said calmly: "Slightly modify it."

He picked up the pen and made some casual changes. When the historian saw it, he turned pale and suddenly knelt down.

After just a simple modification, it seems that the incident is still being mentioned, but the meaning expressed is completely different. It is the so-called Spring and Autumn style of writing by historians, which is expressed vividly. King Wenshang changed the history to seek credibility, and this story has been passed down for thousands of years, with many critics and praises.

The historian was frightened and worried, and could not sleep for several days.

But——

Finally this is true.

[All the spirits beg for peace and offer Taixiao's severed arm. The emperor sees it and is horrified and coughs up blood, almost fainting]

[When he woke up, he was overjoyed]
