Chapter 83 A Sword's Frost Chills Across Fourteen Provinces (16)
Luo Shu's Nascent Soul Ceremony was fast approaching, and the Giant Sword Sect invited many guests to attend, making it a grand occasion.
Wen Baiyun and Qin Fang are responsible for receiving the younger generation of guests outside today. Some sects may only send juniors, since it is only a junior's Nascent Soul Ceremony and it would be beneath their status to come in person.
If the elders come in person, then of course Yao Yin and the others will personally receive them. All twelve peak masters are here today, the elders are in the inner hall, and the disciples are more relaxed and at ease outside.
Today, Po Yue Sword Sect also changed into a black robe with gold trim, making him look even more majestic and domineering. He stood with Tantai Mingshu, and many other sects came to pay their respects, which he responded to indifferently.
Miao Qiqi was also among the disciples. She had many old acquaintances from other sects and was chatting with them at the moment.
A woman with a chubby face said, "Qiqi, when did your Juque Sword Sect produce such a powerful female cultivator? Oh right, right, she is a disciple taken in by Poyue Sword Venerable. My mind is a bit muddled for a moment. Come, come, I'll punish myself with a cup."
Miao Qiqi pursed her lips bitterly. No one would see her where Luo Shu was. She decided to carry out that plan.
The heavy sound of bells and drums rang out, echoing throughout the entire Juque Sword Sect. Po Yue Sword Master stood in the main hall, while hundreds of people sat below. At this moment, no one touched the food on the table; everyone watched the ceremony with solemn expressions.
Luo Shu was also dressed very well today. Her silver-white Taoist robe was elegant and graceful, and she wore a twelve-purple gold crown. She also wore a half-face mask made of black iron, revealing half of her captivatingly beautiful face, which made some disciples who were seeing her for the first time stare in disbelief.
She walked straight toward Po Yue Sword Master without glancing to the side. As she passed Ouyang Feige and his group, she saw Ouyang Feige winking at her with a bright smile, as if the two were old acquaintances.
As the Sword Master of Broken Peaks saw Luo Shu approaching step by step, his expression softened, clearly showing his satisfaction with this disciple. Indeed, he was very satisfied with Luo Shu.
This disciple has a clear understanding of swordsmanship, and what pleases him even more is that she can endure loneliness. At her age, she can spend every day practicing swordsmanship and cultivating, which shows her excellent character.
Sword Master Poyue's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Now that you have achieved the Nascent Soul stage and transcended the mortal realm, do you still remember what a cultivator's mission is?"
Luo Shu solemnly replied, "I take it upon myself to protect all people. The Qi of the heavens is vast, the path of humanity is insignificant, the path of immortals is boundless, and the path of ghosts is joyful! My path is flourishing day by day."
These are words from the Taoist classic "The Scripture of Ferrying People," which is also Luo Shu's original intention in cultivating herself, and she has always done so.
Sword Master Poyue nodded and said, "You must never forget your original intentions, only then can you achieve your goal."
After speaking, he picked up a white jade hairpin and put the hair ornament on Luo Shu. Next, his senior brothers, including Tantai Mingshu, congratulated Luo Shu. The guests below also began to enjoy the spiritual food and wine on the table, creating a joyous atmosphere.
Luo Shu naturally couldn't leave, as many disciples would come to her to ask questions about the Daoist arts.
Meanwhile, seeing so many people surrounding Luo Shu, Miao Qiqi felt increasingly distressed. She grieved alone in a corner. Wen Baiyun and her junior brothers had all gone to help entertain the guests, and no one had comforted her. She looked at Luo Shu in front of her, her lips marked with deep teeth marks.
After the ceremony ended, the elders from the three sects and six schools did not leave. They still had matters to discuss with the Giant Sword Sect. The people from other sects had other matters to attend to, so they went back first.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Miao Qiqi mingled among the people and slipped out as well. The ceremony was strict in entry but lenient in exit, which gave her an advantage, and she was able to leave the Juque Sword Sect smoothly.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, she felt lost and confused, mixed with fear of the future, unsure of where to go.
Then she heard Li Ye's voice in her mind: "Qiqi, go to the cave where I keep the spirit stones first. I also left some protective magic artifacts. You can use them first. You are all alone outside, and I don't have the ability to protect you yet. I will be very worried if you get hurt."
Miao Qiqi blushed. The man trapped in the stone said his name was Li Ye, a fallen Tribulation Transcending Realm expert who had died fighting against the demon god in the war between gods and demons. Li Ye had been accompanying her recently, and she had gradually become dependent on him. Hearing him say this, Miao Qiqi did not hesitate and, under Li Ye's command, embarked on the journey to retrieve the treasure.
No one from the Juque Sword Sect had noticed their departure yet. At this moment, the elders of the Juque Sword Sect, Liuyun Sect, Hehuan Sect, and several other sects were gathered together. The others were quite puzzled, wondering why the Juque Sword Sect had brought them together.
It should be noted that not all sects coexist harmoniously. For example, the Chan sect and the Hehuan sect are somewhat at odds, as are the Liuyun sect and the Wenxin sword sect. At this moment, they are all together, and everyone feels very uncomfortable.
Then, Sword Master Poyue led Luo Shu in. Everyone's expressions turned solemn. The appearance of a Tribulation Transcending stage expert must mean something extremely important.
Then, Luo Shu made a sword gesture, and the ordinary sword in her hand rose into the air, graceful as a dragon and delicate as a startled swan. The bright sword light was extremely sharp, and it was imprinted in everyone's eyes, causing a chorus of praise to rise.
"Young friend, you are truly amazing! Your sword intent is clear and pure, you have exceptional talent!"
"Yes, yes, yes, if you ask me, Sword Master Po Yue has a discerning eye, that's why he took in such a talented disciple!"
They chatted back and forth, full of praise for Luo Shu, when suddenly a voice rang out: "This sword is quite peculiar. I've never seen this material before."
The one speaking was the elder from the Zen sect, a master weapon refiner, who was now curiously looking at Luo Shu's Juntian Sword, with a hint of eagerness on his face.
Luo Shu sheathed her sword and placed it on the table. The others looked at her actions with some confusion. Why was that?
The two characters "Jun Tian" on the sword were ancient and grand, written not in modern characters but in more complex ancient scripts. The two white-haired old men murmured, "This is, Jun... Tian!"
"Jun Tian!"
These words shocked everyone present.
In the cultivation world, who doesn't know the Juntian Sword?
The sword that Daojun carries is a sword that only Daojun can wield. In the hands of others, it's so trash that they can't even manage to chop wood with it.
So, isn't Luo Shu...
Future Taoist Lord!
Everyone was stunned. They never expected that a Dao Lord would appear again after a thousand years. Some children didn't even know the Dao Lord's name, and his deeds had been lost in the torrent of history.
At this moment, Daojun stood alive and well before them, and Juntian was willingly under her control, leaving them no choice but to believe it.
With the birth of the Dao Lord, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a harbinger of misfortune. This world is about to be plunged into chaos once again.
A storm is brewing!
