Chapter 81 A Sword's Frost Chills Across Fourteen Provinces
The other disciples were completely bewildered. How could such a colossal figure kneel down before Luo Shu? What was the underlying principle?
Luo Shu understood some of it. The true meaning of the Great Dao she cultivated was that of a future Dao Lord. These skeletons had witnessed how great a Dao Lord was when they fought against the demons. He sacrificed himself to make up for the deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao, and he had no petty love but only compassion for all living beings.
Every one of them who participated in the ancient war between immortals and demons deeply admired Dao Jun. Although Luo Shu was not that one, they saw the same Daoist charm and power of the laws of heaven and earth in her, which meant that they would inevitably walk the same path in the future.
Daoist masters, martyrs, they knelt with sincere hearts.
Then the huge white skeleton forcibly broke off the jade-colored finger bone from its right hand and handed it to Luo Shu. The finger bone was about an arm's length long and had a warm luster, without any of the cruelty and evil on the skeleton.
Luo Shu hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it. Seeing that she accepted it, the white skeleton seemed to have fulfilled some wish. Its huge body crashed down without raising a speck of dust. Instead, the white bones turned into specks of phosphorescent fire, which ignited and then went out, disappearing into the air.
Luo Shu stood there quietly, her heart surprisingly calm, as if she already knew her fate well. She calmly awaited His arrival.
You lie buried beneath the earth, your bones turned to dust; I, on earth, remain with my head covered in snow.
It's not the same road we came from.
The skeleton seemed to have been waiting for Luo Shu there on purpose. Now that its mission was complete, it departed silently and majestically.
The other skeletons that had just knelt in worship fell back into slumber, and silence returned to the surroundings. Only the Zen monks continued chanting long Sanskrit verses to pray for the souls of the dead.
At this moment, Luo Shu had recovered her spiritual power. She was on guard for the disciples of the Juque Sword Sect, while the disciples of the Juque Sword Sect took this opportunity to seek some opportunities.
They certainly couldn't leave empty-handed after coming in, and with some evil creatures around, it was also an excellent place for them to train.
As for Luo Shu and Ouyang Feige, they remained on guard.
These evil creatures are not of high level, so it's perfect for these disciples to hone their sword skills. They, of course, don't need to lift a finger.
Ouyang Feige walked dashingly to Luo Shu's side, raised an eyebrow at her slightly, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you just overpowered everyone, which amazed me. I wonder if you could show me the finger bone you just obtained? I am very curious."
Luo Shu didn't hesitate and handed the finger bone to Ouyang Feige, clearly showing her confidence in her abilities!
Ouyang Feige stared intently at the woman before him, his eyes dark and unblinking, growing increasingly curious about her.
He took the jade-colored finger bone. As expected of a Nascent Soul stage expert, even after so many years of death, it was still full of energy. There were patterns on the bone, which were obviously traces left by the tribulation of lightning. This bone could be used to refine a Heaven-rank magic weapon. If it were taken out to the outside world, everyone would fight over it.
What's even stranger is that the bone was sealed with a restriction, clearly indicating that it could be taken outside and preserved. This was obviously the work of the skeleton.
What is the background of this girl? Such a powerful figure treats her with utmost respect. It is definitely not because of the Giant Sword Sect. It must be because of Luo Shu herself.
It's just that it's not known to people at the moment.
At this moment, Wen Baiyun and Qin Fang also came over. They looked at the jade finger bone on Ouyang Feige's hand and were also a little curious, after all, no one had ever seen such a rare thing before.
Luo Shu nodded to them, and when Ouyang Feige handed it back to her, she handed it to the two men to take a look. The two men did not hesitate, took the finger bone and examined it carefully. After satisfying their curiosity, they returned it to Luo Shu.
They have been in the Xiaotangshan Secret Realm for almost a month now, and the day to leave is in three days. The disciples have all gained a lot. Putting aside everything else, the secret realm itself has greatly tempered their minds. After this battle, many of them have matured a lot.
After all, this was no ordinary sect assessment, but a real life-or-death struggle where a single misstep could cost lives. The group of impetuous youths had calmed down and become much more composed.
This is also the main reason why the Giant Sword Sect sends its disciples to undergo rigorous training. The sect doesn't want delicate flowers; it wants strong trees that can provide shelter from the wind and rain.
The Zen monks had also finished their rituals. The young monks looked pale; they had expended a great deal of energy, but the Zen aim was to save all sentient beings. Although they were exhausted, they were also happy.
The group packed their things and waited in place for a moment. Sure enough, the restrictions on this area fluctuated, and they were about to be teleported out.
Everyone was teleported to the entrance of the secret realm at the same time, except for Luo Shu.
As Luo Shu watched the people around her disappear, time seemed to rewind in this world, and she returned to the era of the ancient war.
The battle began with the demons and the cultivators. The dark-skinned demons and the ethereal cultivators fought fiercely. The massive shockwaves caused by their battle resulted in widespread devastation. The land was soaked in blood, making it impossible for crops to grow. There were no other living things on this battlefield; not a single blade of grass could grow.
Their battles expanded, affecting humanity and causing countless mortals to lose their lives.
The Heavenly Dao was affected and became incomplete. It was even unable to suppress the cultivators of both realms and could only watch as the beings of this world gradually headed towards their doom.
The Great Dao fought back fiercely, and thus the Dao Lord came into being. The Dao Lord sees all things as equal to all beings. He is the son of the Great Dao. Demons and humans are the same to him. He holds the Heavenly Judgment, judges good and evil, and protects the land. In the end, he even sacrifices himself to complete the inadequacy of the laws.
He truly saved this small world. Although he was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, he is still worthy of our respect.
That's why the skeleton treated Luo Shu so well just now.
Luo Shu felt as if she had been stationed on this demonic battlefield for a hundred years, but the time had only been a moment. Before her eyes, the stars shifted and she returned to a thousand years in the future, before being teleported away by a restriction.
At this moment, some rogue cultivators had already left, while the major sects remained in place. Yao Yin from the Giant Sword Sect was anxious because his junior sister had not yet come out. Could it be that she had encountered trouble inside? Just as he was about to send a message to the sect, he suddenly saw his junior sister being teleported out.
Having gained insights over the past century, Luo Shu's cultivation naturally progressed, and she was about to enter the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. This advancement was no longer to be suppressed, and she could only sit still, calm her mind, and prepare for the advancement.
Yao Yin was very surprised. Luo Shu was only in the early stage of Nascent Soul when she first left home, but now she is in the middle stage. Even taking drugs wouldn't make her grow so fast!
He reacted quickly, ordering the disciples of the Giant Sword Sect to surround Luo Shu and protect her inside. Then, he stood guard at the forefront, like a lone warrior against a thousand. It seemed that if anyone dared to make a move at this moment, the Giant Sword Sect would fight to the death.
Luo Shu had already begun her advancement, and even though it was just a small advancement, thunderclouds gathered in the sky, leaving everyone watching in awe.
Wow, this is too exaggerated! Why would a mere Nascent Soul cultivator have to undergo nine layers of lightning tribulation just to advance to the next level? And judging from Luo Shu's expression, she's clearly used to being struck by lightning.
The people from the other sects nearby watched this scene numbly, their hearts aching with sorrow.
