Chapter 73 A Sword's Frost Chills Across Fourteen Provinces 6
Having obtained the sword she desired, Luo Shu saw no need to linger in the sword hut. After saying goodbye to Tantai Mingshu, she left the hut.
Those guarding outside saw Luo Shu come out first, holding the Juntian Sword in her hand. At this moment, the Juntian Sword's brilliance was restrained, and it was ordinary and unremarkable, showing no trace of a precious sword.
The other sect elders didn't sense anything unusual about the Juntian Sword either, assuming that Luo Shu had simply chosen an ordinary sword. Moreover, since Luo Shu had entered the Sword Pavilion with Tantai Mingshu without undergoing any assessment, the elders had no idea of her strength, so they didn't take Luo Shu too seriously.
Their eyes remained fixed on the exit of the Sword Pavilion, eagerly awaiting their disciples' return laden with renowned swords.
However, this time, the elders' expectations were destined to be dashed.
Since Luo Shu left the Sword Pavilion, the spirit swords that had gained sentience have been listlessly stuck in the spirit stones, unmoved by the actions of the disciples around them.
Those who were slightly less skilled picked one that suited their taste and followed along, but the top-tier spirit swords remained unmoved. No one would want to compromise when faced with such a gem. Another point is that whenever a Dao Lord appears in the world, it is like the bright moon in the sky, shining down on everything, so how can the light of a firefly be seen?
Since they cannot follow Daojun, they will continue to wait. They are all renowned swordsmen, and even if they encounter Juntian, they will not be willing to be subordinate to others.
Then the elite disciples of the Giant Sword Sect and several disciples from the outer sect were dumbfounded. It turned out that the spirit sword, whose blade had been slightly trembling after they released their sword intent, was now like an old monk in deep meditation, completely ignoring them.
What kind of sword intent did that mysterious woman use? How could it be so powerful? And what kind of sword did she choose at the end? Why have I never heard of that sword before?
These mysteries lingered in the minds of the disciples, and when they looked at the spirit sword that completely ignored them, they were speechless.
The most shocked were Miao Qiqi and Zhang Zhaonan. They knew that the woman was Luo Shu, but they did not expect her to be so powerful. The scene of ten thousand swords paying homage to the emperor had put them under great psychological pressure. At this moment, the two of them were absent-minded. However, everyone around them was busy choosing a suitable sword for themselves, and no one noticed that something was wrong with the two of them.
An hour had passed, and Tantai Mingshu, together with the ten peak elders, activated the formation to send the disciples out of the Sword Pavilion.
This sword selection process was quite bizarre. Some disciples who ranked lower in the assessment received spirit swords, while those who ranked higher returned empty-handed. The elders of the outer sect looked very unhappy when they saw that only two of their disciples had brought back spirit swords. They had paid a high price for these sword selection slots.
However, at this moment, the sect leader and peak masters of the Giant Sword Sect had no intention of engaging in witty banter with them. They also noticed that many disciples of the Giant Sword Sect had not obtained the spirit swords, and their expressions improved somewhat. After exchanging a few words, the elders of the outer sect led their disciples back.
The other ten peak masters, led by their sect leader, all went to Poyue Peak. At this moment, they no longer cared about the intimidation of the Tribulation Transcending stage ancestor. With more people, they were bolder and determined to find out the truth about the matter.
Luo Shu was having tea with Po Yue Sword Master. When Po Yue Sword Master saw the Jun Tian Sword that Luo Shu had brought back, he showed an expression of "I knew it." What Luo Shu had comprehended was the Great Dao. Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs. She will surely become a Dao Lord in the future. The Jun Tian Sword has been the sword of Dao Lords since ancient times, used to examine all things and uphold the orthodox Dao.
When Luo Shu obtained the Juntian Sword, she had some different insights. Her understanding of all things in the world seemed to be clearer than before. It was like when she looked at a leaf before, she could only see its veins, but now she could see it from its growth to its decay.
This means she has already touched the source of the Great Dao Law. Even the Sword Master Poyue couldn't help but sigh, "She truly deserves to be the future Dao Lord!"
She couldn't fully comprehend this change while she was at the Sword Pavilion, but now that she's by Venerable Poyue's side, she naturally has no more worries.
Luo Shu closed her eyes and began to experience the wonders of the Great Dao. In an instant, spiritual energy surged around her, forming a vortex of spiritual energy, and the momentum of this vortex grew stronger and stronger.
As soon as Tantai Mingshu and the others arrived at Poyue Peak, Venerable Poyue noticed them. Poyue Sword Venerable did not stop them from entering. They would find out about these things sooner or later. When they ascended to immortality, Luo Shu would either need to protect them or be protected by them. The two were inseparable.
The group entered the mountain peak and saw the vortex of spiritual energy. Without asking, they knew it was Luo Shu. It seemed that this little "junior sister" was about to undergo the Nascent Soul Tribulation.
After bowing to Sword Master Poyue, Tantai Mingshu and his group asked, "Uncle-Master, did Junior Sister Luo choose the Juntian Sword? We are afraid that our eyes are not good enough and we have come to ask Uncle-Master."
They adopted a very humble attitude in front of this Tribulation Transcending expert, not only because Po Yue Sword Venerable's strength was unfathomable, but also because of his dedication to the Ju Que Sword Sect. Po Yue Sword Venerable had the power to ascend several years ago, but he suppressed his strength for the sake of the sect. Otherwise, the Ju Que Sword Sect, the leader of the three sects and six schools, would never be so peaceful.
Po Yue Sword Master looked sharply at the people in front of him and said, "Indeed, it is Jun Tian Sword."
Now Tantai Mingshu and the others were overjoyed. They were all powerful beings who had lived for hundreds of years, and they were all excited at this moment. That was a Dao Lord, a child of the Great Dao, an existence like the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.
Such an extraordinary figure has actually appeared in the Juque Sword Sect, which may prosper for another thousand years.
However, Lei Yun Daoist was somewhat surprised. No wonder, anyone would feel embarrassed to see that their disciple would become a Dao Lord in the future, far surpassing their own achievements!
Especially since this disciple had broken ties with him, he was filled with all sorts of emotions.
Just then, the area where Luo Shu was located, which was originally sealed off by the Po Yue Sword Master with spiritual power to prevent disturbance, now had a small opening in the sealing spiritual power shield. The spiritual energy outside was gathering inside, and the vortex inside was swallowing it up.
Seeing that the commotion was growing louder and the celestial phenomena outside were unusual, Venerable Poyue said, "Why don't you join forces with me to cover up the strange phenomena?"
The others also realized that the Dao Lord's tribulation phenomenon was terrifying, with lightning and thunder, and dark clouds pressing down on the city as if it were about to collapse, like the end of the world. The powerful figures joined forces to cover up this terrifying celestial phenomenon, and then guarded Luo Shu's side to prevent any enemy from launching a sneak attack.
Although Daojun may not have been exposed yet, it cannot be ruled out that someone has used secret methods to calculate that many of the demonic ghosts and monsters in the demon realm use unorthodox tricks, so they should be more careful.
Luo Shu, who was undergoing the Nascent Soul Tribulation, felt nothing. In a mysterious state, her soul seemed to have returned to the chaos before her birth, floating and wandering around.
She witnessed the beginning and end of time, the vastness of the universe, and the multiplication and growth of all things. She became a green leaf, sprouting, growing, flourishing, withering, and experiencing spring, summer, autumn, and winter, heat and cold. Then she was reborn as a cheetah, hunting and being preyed upon. She experienced a mundane birth and a cruel death, tasting different lives time and time again.
These experiences have made Luo Shu more peaceful and she hopes to understand the saying: "Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs."
All things are the same, and all things reside in the heart.
Then, the perfectly round golden elixir in her dantian shattered in an instant, and then reformed into a small, white jade-like figure, transforming from a broken elixir into an infant.
Luo Shu has entered the Nascent Soul realm.
Heaven itself cheered for her, with auspicious clouds stretching for dozens of miles across the sky, golden flowers falling from the heavens, and the clear cries of dragons and phoenixes echoing through the air.
This is the Great Dao celebrating for its Dao Lord.
