Time flies
"So, I propose that we in the cultivation community should unite and jointly legislate to resist this behavior..."
Not far away, there was a white-bearded elder mumbling something.
Bai Roushuang listened in a disjointed manner, her mind still distractedly recalling what happened on the day when her senior sister ascended to heaven.
The thunderstorm that occurred that day became a legend that was talked about in the cultivation world for a long time.
Everyone has a natural tendency to admire the strong to a certain extent. Xu Shulou has ascended to heaven and attained enlightenment at this age. No matter what her previous reputation was, she is destined to become a role model that everyone in the world of cultivation aspires to.
Some people wrote poems and essays for her, and some people compiled her life into a legendary storybook...
Some people began to carefully study the life of this "devil", but found that she had not actually done anything evil, and all those she killed with her sword were extremely evil.
There were also people posting notices everywhere, claiming that they had mastered Xu Jianxian's quick cultivation method, and that they would teach all the skills as long as 10,000 spirit stones were paid.
I heard that this person later lived in the prison on Wuchen Island for a long time.
Let's not talk about small things. Anyway, it is said that on the day when Xu Jianxian ascended to heaven, thunder was aroused between heaven and earth, covering the sky and the sun. Purple lightning rolled in the clouds, and thunder as thick as a bowl struck straight down. It was so powerful that even Mingyue Peak could not withstand the first thunder tribulation and was immediately struck into ruins. Not a single bird or insect on the peak survived.
It was pitch dark all around, with only the occasional blinding flash of lightning, and the world seemed to be filled with nothing but a sea of thunder.
The heavenly thunder tests your cultivation level, and the heart’s thunder tests your state of mind.
Xu Jianxian stood alone between heaven and earth, using his tiny body to resist the might that swept across heaven and earth. He did not retreat or avoid even though his body was covered in blood.
His black hair was flying and his red robe was swaying with the cool wind between heaven and earth. The long sword in his hand was as white as snow. The three colors of black, white and red formed the most dazzling style between heaven and earth, making him look more noble and handsome like a god.
The thunder tribulation transformed into a black dragon that came towards her to bite her, but she picked up her sword and chopped off its head. This sword move was unprecedented in history.
The moment she finally ascended, the sky and the earth were filled with golden light, as if a lotus had blossomed. Accompanied by a clear sound, Xu Jianxian's high-spirited voice rang out between heaven and earth, leaving a long laugh in the world.
It is said that everyone who heard this long laugh at the top of Mingyue Peak was enlightened, and their minds were suddenly opened, and they seemed to have some understanding of Taoism...
It sounds amazing and legendary, but unfortunately, it's all fake.
To Bai Roushuang, who witnessed the scene with her own eyes, this was really an exaggeration of fabrication - the most realistic part might be the "red robe flying" part.
The situation at the scene was far from being so exaggerated. Even the head of the Wuchen Island, who had protected people everywhere, swore that it was the smoothest tribulation he had ever seen in his life.
Not to mention being covered in blood, Xu Shulou didn't even bleed from his nose.
After several thunder strikes, the only things on her body that were damaged were her outer robe and the big red flower on her chest that was smashed into powder.
Considering that the rest of her clothes were intact, it's hard not to wonder if she did it on purpose.
But they had no way to verify this question. Xu Shulou successfully ascended to heaven after a thunder calamity and attained the Great Dao. Since then, he has disappeared from the human world.
Bai Roushuang hasn't seen her for a long, long time. In recent years, she has even rarely heard of her legend...
"Elder Bai, Elder Bai?" a male voice sounded.
Hmm? Bai Roushuang reacted quickly and came back to her senses. She was not panicked at all and nodded solemnly, "Elder Li is right."
"So, Elder Bai also agrees?"
"Of course," Bai Roushuang continued the topic smoothly, "Cultivators shouldn't interfere in wars in the human world."
She pulled herself out of her distant memories and looked at the people around her. This was the largest gathering of the cultivation world in recent years. It was held on the top of Mount Huashan, with all major sects participating. The topic of discussion was whether or not to legislate to prohibit cultivators from interfering in wars on earth.
The killing power of monks on mortals is immeasurable. If they really intervene in the war in the human world, tragic consequences will inevitably occur. Moreover, the forces in the mortal world are not fools. If you have helpers on your side, I can hire them with money. Monks, you help one side today, and I help the other side. It will only cost the lives of mortals on both sides. The adoption of this resolution today is the general trend. Bai Roushuang is just representing Wuchen Island to go through the motions, so naturally there is no objection.
"Okay, Wuchen Island has seconded the proposal," the speaker turned to the next person, "What does Xianxia Sect think?"
"I agree."
Bai Roushuang held her chin in her hand, lost in thought. After everyone had expressed their opinions, the cultivator known as Elder Li made the final decision: "Okay, since everyone has no objection, I will engrave this law on the stone wall at the top of Mount Hua today and spread it throughout the world. From now on, if anyone is found violating this order, all sects will punish him together!"
"good!"
"Let's kill him together!"
Everyone agreed and the matter was settled.
After the meeting, Bai Roushuang stood up and exchanged pleasantries with everyone. Then a Taoist boy respectfully led the way and said, "Elder Bai, please."
Bai Roushuang sighed softly. She had become "Elder Bai".
She was not used to this title, which always made her feel very old, although she was indeed very old.
After her senior sister ascended to heaven, she has been walking alone in this world for too long.
The time she spent alone far exceeded the time they spent together.
Bai Roushuang counted on her fingers and realized that apart from the years when her senior sister was in seclusion, the time they actually spent together was only one or two years.
But she always had the illusion that they seemed to have known each other for a lifetime.
"I will miss you and your stories." Bai Roushuang said before her senior sister ascended.
“You will have your own story.”
These were the last words Xu Shulou left for her.
Now she walks alone in the world, and she has agreed with her fellow brothers to return to Mingyue Peak for a gathering every ten years. Of course, Mingyue Peak was not destroyed by a heavenly calamity. That was just a relatively false part of the legend of Xu Shulou when it was most widely spread.
Over the years, Bai Roushuang has worked hard to cultivate and be a good person. She always feels that she is still the pampered little sister on Mingyue Peak. Until one day, when others asked her when she planned to start accepting disciples, she was shocked to realize the passage of time.
Too much time has passed. There are new people emerging in the world of cultivation. Even the once brilliant Xu Jianxian has become a page in the history books of cultivation. Apart from the students in various immortal palaces, few people mention him anymore.
In the eyes of others, Bai Roushuang is already the Elder Bai, who is the most powerful swordsman in the world, and she has already had a seat on the Qingyun Prodigy List.
However, she felt that the word "unparalleled" was a bit exaggerated. Those people had never witnessed her peerless past, so they liked to casually label someone or something as "unparalleled in the world."
Over the years, Bai Roushuang's habits have not changed much. She still likes to wear white clothes. She often carries her "Qilu Sword" on her back. When people look at her, they think that she really lives up to the title of fairy in the legend.
But she often wondered whether she should imitate her senior sister and conjure up a graceful folding fan.
Once, she walked through the human world and saved a mortal girl. Facing her grateful eyes, Bai Roushuang shook her head and said, "You're welcome. Helping those in need is the duty of cultivators like me."
After she said this, she realized that she had subconsciously used a phrase her senior sister had once said.
After traveling through the world and saving many people, Bai Roushuang suddenly realized that she was not trying to be a good person just for her senior sister, she had already become a good person.
Occasionally, when she witnessed the dangers of the world, she would subconsciously want to complain to someone, but the person who could respond was no longer around, so she could only criticize in secret. Inadvertently, she managed to maintain the image of a cold fairy in the eyes of others.
She likes to look at the scenery, and occasionally misses the man who taught her to fly with a sword, who stood on the top of the mountains with her, and who watched the picturesque landscape with her.
She still liked to cook, but there were no longer many people around her who would come to eat her meals. Occasionally, when Bai Roushuang made a dish of steamed pork ribs with rice flour, she would subconsciously think of inviting someone to dine with her - that person never refused any offer of a meal, but she would never come again.
Bai Roushuang lived a good life, but at certain moments, she would suddenly start to miss her senior sister, and then she would be shocked to realize that her senior sister had left traces in every corner of her life.
