Chapter 122: Hotly debated by the world, the undercurrent of the demon sect (two in one)
The states of Dayan.
There are heated discussions.
Especially with the instigation of the swordsmen, the details of this battle were infinitely magnified and spread everywhere through storytellers, and even some counties knew about this battle.
"The Thunder Blade Master drew heavenly thunder with one strike, and it turned into a shocking thunder dragon, as if it was going to devour all living things. But the Heavenly Sword Master was calm and composed, and just lightly pointed his finger, and in an instant, seventy-seven forty-nine Heavenly Swords appeared in the sky!"
In the inn.
Countless people surrounded the storyteller, exclaiming in surprise and urging him to speak faster.
"The Heavenly Sword slashed the Thunder Dragon. The scene was shocking and the earth was shattered..."
There are countless descriptions like this.
The news spread throughout Qingzhou via Zhenwu City, and then spread along Qingzhou to other states. Although there were many spectators that day, they were just a drop in the ocean in the Great Yan Dynasty.
After being passed down by word of mouth, changes are inevitable.
The spectators who were present at the battle in person only smiled knowingly after hearing this, but the shock in their hearts never dissipated. Anyone who had seen the battle with their own eyes knew that Master Tianjian's strength far exceeded his ranking on the Heavenly Man List.
This is already a consensus among everyone.
Those big forces almost simultaneously determined that Master Tianjian had the strength to be in the top 20 of the Heavenly Man List, and he would not be at the bottom, perhaps even stronger than Master Luofu Jian!
In this battle.
Jinglei Daozun and Tianjian Zhenren were naturally the protagonists, but what Luofu Jianzun did was also spread secretly. Some people who knew about it laughed in their hearts. Of course, they did not dare to spread it widely. The deterrent power of a peerless swordsman who was ranked 21st on the Heavenly List was still sufficient.
However, just these secret rumors were enough to drive Luofu Sword Master crazy.
After Jinglei Dao Zun returned to Jinglei Villa, he ordered someone to deliver his Jinglei Secret Records. He did not break his promise, nor did he dare to break his promise.
Some old masters of swordsmanship went to express their condolences, but no one blamed Jinglei Daozun. Some even wanted to make compensation. After all, it was not Jinglei Daozun's fault that he was not strong enough in this battle, but the enemy was too powerful.
There were even several sword masters who shared their martial arts with Jinglei Daozun, which to some extent was a blessing in disguise. Although he lost an arm, he broke through his limits during the battle with Tianjian Zhenren. If he absorbed these sword nutrients now, it would be enough for him to make further progress.
It is inevitable that he will return to the list of the best next year, and there is even hope that he will move up a few places.
period.
Everyone couldn't help but talk about the Zhenwu Sword Monument, all with envy and shock in their eyes.
"I have seen the Zhenwu Sword Monument from afar. It was originally just an ordinary piece of stone. The reason why it was able to transform decay into magic is all because of the sword intent of Tianjian Zhenren. His sword intent..." At this point, the old sword master fell silent with a complicated expression, and then continued, "Too terrifying."
These four short words left everyone silent.
Someone couldn't help but suggest:
"Why don't we follow the example of the Imitation Sword Monument and erect a knife monument for the sword masters of the world to comprehend? Otherwise, if this continues, we will be completely suppressed by the sword masters."
The tragic defeat of Jinglei Dao Zun has actually made the swordsmen more united than ever before.
Jinglei Daozun smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"I'm afraid we can't do it. If we want the sword spirit to last forever and be available for people to comprehend, I'm afraid only Senior Dao Mo can do it. But Senior Dao Mo's whereabouts are uncertain, and he may not necessarily get involved in such things..."
“I really don’t know how Master Tianjian could comprehend such a peerless sword intent. Perhaps it was a sudden enlightenment… If his cultivation were a little stronger, perhaps he would be able to fight against Senior Daomo in the future.”
At this point, everyone couldn't help but feel fortunate that Tian Jian Zhenren was still alive and well. Otherwise, if he became the ultimate swordsman, they would really be in despair.
Now the only one they can use to compete with the swordsmen is the third Sword Demon on the Heavenly List.
Everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and then discussed taking some other measures to counter the existence of the Zhenwu Sword Monument.
…
This was the first time that the Zhenwu sect came into the sight of many major forces. This caused a bigger stir than the two previous times of the Heavenly Sword Slaying Demons. After all, the two protagonists involved were both strong men at the level of the Heavenly Man List. Even though they were only at the bottom of the ranking, one must know that there were only thirty-six such strong men in the entire Dayan.
It also symbolizes the fight between swords.
The Great Yan court, the Taoist sects, the Southern Xinjiang Alliance, the Dajue Temple, the Wenjian Pavilion... these top forces were all discussing in secret.
And somewhere in a hall.
The powerful men from the Demon Sect were also discussing this matter.
There were not just one person but three people sitting at the top. One of them wore a bronze ghost mask, and the other two were a middle-aged man with a dignified look. His eyes flashed with silver light, which made people feel a little nervous. The other one was a beautiful middle-aged woman in green clothes. She had a charming figure and her every frown and smile was full of temptation.
These are the three deputy leaders of the Demon Sect.
"So it seems that when Elder Wang and his five companions attacked the Zhenwu Sect last time, Taoist Tianjian still retained a lot of strength? Otherwise, he alone would have been enough to repel Elder Wang and his five companions."
Ghost Face's voice sounded a little sinister.
Although he temporarily gave up attacking the Zhenwu Sect, it does not mean that he has forgotten this hatred.
But now the world is shocked by the battle, and the strength displayed by Master Tianjian is beyond imagination. Even if he wants to tackle it in the future, it will be a tough nut to crack.
The man with silver pupils guessed:
"Perhaps it was because the King of Zhenbei happened to be in Zhenwu Mountain that time, so this thief Taoist hid his strength?"
The beautiful woman in green nodded in agreement:
"Tian Xing is right. Gui Mian, I think we need to put the Zhenwu Sect aside for now. There is an old Taoist priest named Tian Jian who has set up a Zhenwu Sword Monument to attract many swordsmen. It will not be easy to take down the Zhenwu Sect in the future. The gain will not make up for the loss. After all, there is not much hatred between the Zhenwu Sect and us."
Immediately, an elder suggested:
"Three deputy sect leaders, maybe we can change our thinking?"
He glanced at the ghost face and smiled:
"I heard that there is a peerless genius under the command of Ghost Face Deputy Sect Leader who has entered the Blood Demon Pool and caused quite a stir there. He has the appearance of a saint son and is from the Zhenwu Sect. In this case, why don't we let him go and see if he can get the Zhenwu Sect to submit to us as well."
"If it works, we will not only lose an opponent, but also gain a powerful new force."
The three people had different expressions. They naturally knew that the elder was talking about Qin Yun.
Qin Yun's transformation in the Blood Demon Pool was unexpectedly smooth and the noise was so loud that it alarmed the Great Elder. He was even allowed to enter the deeper part of the Blood Demon Pool to draw strength.
Ghost Face shook his head slowly and said:
"The probability of this plan is too small. Qin Yun originally betrayed the Zhenwu Sect..."
The beautiful woman in green glanced at her slender fingers nonchalantly and said:
"Although he is a traitor, the relationship between master and disciple is as deep as that between father and son. I think Taoist Longshan may not be cruel to this old disciple. It would be okay to wait for Qin Yun to come out of the Blood Demon Pond and give it a try."
Ghost Face stared at the beautiful woman without saying anything, but everyone could see his displeasure. After all, Qin Yun was his man. After a few breaths, he suddenly said:
"Deputy Sect Master Lin, I heard that my niece Ruhua is now extremely beautiful and has the appearance of a saint. Since you are so optimistic about Qin Yun, why not let her get together with Qin Yun? This may create a good story for our Saint Sect in the future."
Lin Xueshuang's eyes narrowed and she snorted coldly:
"This devilish girl Ruhua is not worthy of being a saint. I don't know where she has been recently."
But then she seemed to be moved and began to think carefully:
"But after Qin Yun comes out of the Blood Demon Pond, maybe we can try to let the two of them have some contact."
Ghost Face burst into laughter.
Xiang Tianxing in the middle frowned slightly and interrupted:
"There is another important thing recently."
Everyone's expressions were startled, and they realized what Xiang Tianxing was talking about.
"I don't know what the Southern Xinjiang Alliance has done wrong. They attacked several of our strongholds one after another, catching us off guard. Especially in Baizhou, which is close to the south, one of their branches was directly destroyed, and an elder from the Heavenly Realm died!"
In an instant.
Everyone was furious.
Although I had heard about this before, I didn't know that an elder in the Heavenly Realm was also killed.
Lin Xueshuang's brows showed a murderous look:
"Does the Southern Xinjiang Alliance want to go to war with us? Do these half-god, half-ghost guys think that they can challenge our Saint Sect just by forming an alliance? If they are not afraid of giving Dayan an advantage, then come on!"
Ghost Face pondered, somewhat puzzled:
"Is there any misunderstanding here? We, the Saint Sect, have never had any conflicts with the Southern Border Alliance. After all, they also hope to be able to take a step out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is said that the living environment in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is getting worse and worse, and the strange beasts are rioting frequently. Even the periphery is not as safe as before."
"No matter what the reason is, even if there is really a misunderstanding, we have to defeat them first! Only then can we sit down and talk!" Xiang Tianxing stood up, his silver eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"Then fight!"
Everyone was outraged.
It’s bad enough that Da Yan is looming over their heads, but now a Southern Xinjiang Alliance dares to provoke them?
Everyone reached a consensus and began to discuss various counterattack actions.
…
Silently.
Amid the turmoil caused by Tianjian Zhenren, various undercurrents began to surge in the Southern Xinjiang Alliance and the Demon Sect, which made the Great Yan Court, which had discovered some of the movements, somewhat confused. They didn't know why the two families suddenly started fighting, but for them, this was a good thing, so they were happy to sit on the mountain and watch the fight, or even occasionally step in to add fuel to the fire.
And the instigator of all this was enjoying himself in Qiudao Temple.
After the war, Ning Qi had a rare moment of leisure.
No one disturbed him. All Zhenwu disciples who used swords were obsessed with comprehending the Zhenwu Sword Stele. After Luo Wentian established various rules, he gradually opened it up to warriors outside the Zhenwu sect. Swordsmen were given priority, but other warriors could also comprehend it if they wanted, but there would be fewer places available.
Ning Qi was lying on a rattan chair. The enlightenment tea tree next to him was growing vigorously under the watering of the blood jade elixir and was slowly catching up with the height of his thighs.
He himself was communicating with the sword intent on the Zhenwu Sword Monument, sensing the imprints left by those who had comprehended it during these days.
Although he had made some small gains, the time was still short after all. However, Ning Qi was looking forward to it. At least it showed that this method worked. One person's wisdom was far inferior to his, but the hard work of tens of millions of people would definitely make his swordsmanship rise to an unprecedented level.
"In this battle, the application of the Zhenwu inheritance played a miraculous role, which is why we won so easily."
Ning Qi recalled the sword that had defeated Jinglei Dao Zun before.
The Heavenly Sword Transformed into Nine gave him great inspiration.
“Perhaps, the Heavenly Sword Technique can be further improved to incorporate the sword formation.”
Ning Qi had an idea in his mind. He had created some powerful sword formations before, such as the Tiangang Disha Sword Formation, which had astonished several masters of the Tianren Realm at the Tianren Ceremony. The Zhenwu disciple had already made a name for himself in Qingzhou with this sword formation.
The Tiangang and Disha sword formations have become a major signature feature of the Zhenwu sect.
When Ning Qi created the Heavenly Sword Technique in the past, it was to unleash the power of his own inner energy and merge it with the power of heaven and earth. It was powerful but lacked sophistication because he had not yet comprehended that level of power of heaven and earth.
Now as Ning Qi's foundation grows deeper, he can naturally strengthen it further.
This was not a difficult task for him.
"However, with the strength and content of my internal energy in the Jade Liquid Realm, it is relatively easy for me to transform the Heavenly Sword into the Ninth Formation. If I make further progress and burst out with all my strength, I may be able to integrate the Heavenly Sword Formation, but if I do more, I will be a little weak."
"If you want to fully evolve the Heavenly Sword Formation with Heavenly Sword Technique, you have to reach the Yuan Dan realm before you can have hope."
"As for Ten Thousand Swords in the Sky, one must be at the Heavenly Man Realm."
Ning Qi was actually looking forward to it.
He cultivated the Wanxiang Zhengang and mastered many paths, but now he was at the forefront in swordsmanship. With the constant feedback from the Zhenwu Sword Monument in the future, he would probably continue to lead.
"However, the Heavenly Sword Technique is actually a fusion of sword intent, strong energy, and the power of heaven and earth. With my ability, there is no problem in transforming it into the Heavenly Knife Technique or the Heavenly Spear Technique."
Thinking of this, Ning Qi's mouth curled up slightly.
He stretched out his hand and a domineering long sword with a purple glow flew out from the house and landed in his hand.
A gentle touch.
The Sky Thunder Sword that had just been obtained suddenly made a trembling sound, and thunder was visible on the blade, and it was even resonating with some kind of thunder power in the sky.
"This sword... is somewhat special. It seems to be able to draw the power of heavenly thunder. Previously, the Thunder Blade Master used this sword to gather momentum and further amplify his thunder blade intent, but he did not develop the power of the Heavenly Thunder Blade to its full potential. It just so happens that I am somewhat proficient in swordsmanship, and the fusion of the Thunder Tiger Fake Pill before has given me some experience in the way of thunder."
Ning Qi chuckled.
He swung the Sky Thunder Sword, and a ray of lightning dragon sword energy rushed out, but was annihilated in an instant when it was about to touch a peach tree.
If Jinglei Dao Zun saw such ease and comfort, he would be stunned that his signature martial arts was perfectly replicated in the hands of others, or even better.
"The Thunder Blade Master can be considered a genius in the way of the sword. Once the Thunder Secret Records are received, I can study them carefully."
Ning Qi is still very interested in the Secret Records of Heaven and Man.
If you accumulate foundation now, you will be more comfortable when you are promoted to the realm of heaven and man in the future.
Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Ning Qi looked towards the Sky Thunder Blade.
Just like the Qingxuan Armor before, he was not just limited to getting a piece of armor and a sword, he hoped to comprehend the essence of the Heavenly Thunder Sword and the principle by which the Heavenly Thunder Sword guided the heavenly thunder.
He had a hunch.
If you can simulate it, you will get a unique secret technique.
The Qi was circulating, and purple energy was flowing on the Sky Thunder Sword. Ning Qi fell into contemplation. He sensed the changes in the Sky Thunder Sword, and the spiritual light in his heart was like a spring, gushing continuously. But after a while, he shook his head slightly.
"If you want to truly understand it, you still have to go to the sky, or wait for the best weather during a thunderstorm."
It takes personal experience to guide the thunder.
Ning Qi was still somewhat wary of the true power of heavenly thunder. There was terrifying thunder above the sky in this world. If a strong man in the realm of heaven and man went too deep into it, he would be smashed into pieces. Many classics had records of strong men trying to explore beyond the sky, but all ended in failure and a miserable end.
"Right now, King Zhenbei is still in Zhenwu Mountain. Let's try again after he leaves. There's no rush."
Ning Qi was very patient. After comprehending the Heavenly Thunder Blade for a moment, he began to practice in peace.
The roar of the Heaven and Earth Grinding Technique rang through his ears, and Ning Qi felt a sense of peace in his heart.
…
And at this moment in Mingwu Pavilion.
The King of Zhenbei sat opposite to Taoist Longshan.
After the war, King Zhenbei did not leave immediately, because Li Ling wanted to comprehend the Zhenwu Sword Monument, so King Zhenbei had no choice but to let him do it. He also had some ideas in his mind, so he stayed in Zhenwu Mountain.
During these days, King Zhenbei has been observing secretly, and he feels that the Zhenwu Sect is extraordinary.
There are many talented disciples under his tutelage, and some of the martial arts they displayed amazed him. They had a deep foundation. He thought that when he had time later, he would look up the origins of the Zhenwu inheritance. He felt that it was not simple.
What satisfied him most was Taoist Longshan's ability in teaching his disciples.
Some people are born to be masters. The incident with Luofu Sword Master made King Zhenbei realize that being a master is not about being stronger, the better; it also depends on one's temperament.
He had seen Taoist Longshan teach Zhuang Chen, and felt that he did not have such teaching ability, so the thought in his mind became stronger and stronger, leading to the scene today.
“Are you used to living in Zhenwu Mountain during this period, King Zhenbei? Please forgive me if I have been negligent.” Taoist Longshan was a little puzzled as to why King Zhenbei came to visit today, but he still spoke politely.
He guessed that King Zhenbei might be preparing to leave, after all, he had rarely appeared in public in recent days.
But the first sentence of the Zhenbei King stunned Longshan Taoist. He smiled warmly and said:
"You are too polite, sir. I came here to ask for a favor."
“Please tell me, King Zhenbei. If my Zhenwu sect can do it, we will definitely do our best.” Taoist Longshan’s expression became serious. He always remembered the feeling of King Zhenbei when he made his move.
King Zhenbei looked solemn:
"I want Ling'er to join the Zhenwu Sect."
Taoist Longshan was in a dilemma. He had just made a bold statement, but was about to be slapped in the face:
"It's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid Senior Tianjian is not willing to accept a disciple."
He instinctively thought that King Zhenbei wanted Li Ling to become a disciple of Tianjian Zhenren, but this was impossible. Only he knew that Tianjian Zhenren was his own little disciple, so how could he possibly accept him as a disciple?
King Zhenbei shook his head and laughed:
"No, I don't want to become your disciple. I want Ling'er to become your disciple. Please agree. I will prepare a generous gift for Ling'er."
After he met Master Tianjian that day, he felt that Master Tianjian was strong, but definitely not suitable to be a master, as he was too cold and ruthless.
This time, Taoist Longshan was even more surprised.
He never thought that King Zhenbei would ask Li Ling to be his disciple.
"This... I am not worthy of this. I am afraid that I will delay the prince."
He knew his own limitations. If the Prince of Zhenbei wanted to become an apprentice, there would be a lot of people vying to accept him as a disciple, including some strong men on the Heavenly Man List. He heard that Luofu Sword Master, who was ranked 21st on the Heavenly Man List, had been invited to the palace, but left later.
Although Taoist Longshan boasts that he will have a place on the Heavenly Man List in the future, it has only been a short time since he broke into the Heavenly Man Realm, so he still needs time to accumulate and settle down.
King Zhenbei stood up, clasped his fists and bowed:
"Master, please don't be modest. To be honest, I have observed Master's disciples and they are famous teachers in the world. Ling'er lost his mother when he was young and is a bit naughty, but he is very happy on Zhenwu Mountain. If he can become Master's disciple, it will be his blessing. I have no other intentions, I just want to find a good master for Ling'er. Please help me!"
He spoke sincerely and kept a humble attitude.
In the past, the Zhenwu sect was targeted by the Demon Sect, and he didn't want Li Ling to be in danger. However, this time, Tianjian Zhenren showed his powerful strength, and the Zhenwu Sword Monument attracted many swordsmen, so the safety factor was greatly improved.
If he arranged for a few more strong men to settle in Zhenwu City, Li Ling would be even safer than in the palace. After all, King Zhenbei himself was not guarding Li Ling all the time.
Taoist Longshan was moved.
The fact that a peerless expert ranked seventh on the Heavenly Man List treated him like this showed his sincerity.
He sighed in his heart, feeling sorry for the love of parents in the world.
Taoist Longshan helped King Zhenbei up and said with emotion:
"King Zhenbei, please don't be like this. To be honest, I like Li Ling very much. He has excellent comprehension and talent. He is sincere in swordsmanship. If he is trained well in the future, he will surely become a useful person."
"Thanks to the King of Zhenbei for not abandoning him, he will be the eleventh true disciple of my sect in the future."
After knowing King Zhenbei's intention, he agreed decisively.
He was not exaggerating. As far as Li Ling's qualifications were concerned, he was indeed a good disciple. Although his character was a little naughty, he was kind by nature. He had even taken the initiative to rebuke Luofu Sword Master when he came up the mountain and wanted to borrow his sword by force.
And that's besides the point.
Accepting Li Ling as a disciple also means that the Zhenwu Sect has an additional backer, a very solid backer.
If anyone wants to attack the Zhenwu Sect in the future, they must think carefully.
A smile appeared on King Zhenbei's face.
A stone in my heart has been put at ease.
He laughed:
"Thank you, Immortal! There is one more thing. Ling'er admires Immortal Tianjian's sword art. Please tell me that if Immortal Tianjian is willing to teach Ling'er the sword art, I am willing to exchange my Heaven-Suppressing Fist with him, or find other inheritances that Immortal Tianjian is interested in."
Taoist Longshan's heart moved, and he nodded slowly:
"If I have the chance to meet Senior Tianjian, I will tell you the truth."
