Volume 12 is missing Chapter 1 What is Sword Cultivation?
Lu Qingshan's mind moved, and the thousands of swords standing in the void around him returned to their sheaths and disappeared into the void.
After collecting the 200,000 swords from the Sword Washing Pool, with the help of the spirituality nurtured by the Tianchi Lake, Lu Qingshan could draw out 200,000 swords at the same time to fight the enemy when necessary.
At the same time, these 200,000 swords can also benefit from the [Slash] Secret:
Once a sword is in the Sword Domain, it will enter the Frost Blade State, increasing the power and speed of the first sword strike after it is taken out. The power is determined by the time it enters the Frost Blade State.
It can increase attack power by 50% and attack speed by 100%.
The combination of the two has made the move of "Two Hundred Thousand Swords Out Simultaneously" become his strongest sword skill, with a power that is unimaginable to others.
It’s a pity that this move is ultimately based on the spirituality of the sword itself, rather than Lu Qingshan’s own strength.
However, these spiritualities are the result of years of nurturing by the Heavenly Lake of the Sword Washing Pond. They will weaken every time these hidden swords are "unsheathed" and will eventually be consumed.
Therefore, although this move is very powerful, the number of times it can be used is limited, just like Cheng Shifei's Vajra Indestructibility, it is a limited skill.
However, this shortcoming was nothing in Lu Qingshan's eyes - with his progress in cultivation, he was confident that he could make his sword skills more powerful than this move before the 200,000 sword spiritualities dissipated.
…
Xia Daoyuan's "go" brought this much-anticipated court meeting to an end.
The two men disappeared into the sword light and left without looking back, gradually going farther and farther away.
Yumen Pass, the gateway to the Eastern Region, is guarded by the Sword Sect.
The sword sect’s sword practitioners are the best in the world.
The sword has been pointed at the demons for exactly 20,000 years.
But not only the sword cultivators from the Sword Sect are sword cultivators.
How could a true swordsman be without courage and spirit?
Two sword lights swept across the sky, dazzling like meteors across the sky.
It's definitely not the afterglow.
… …
As Lu Qingshan defeated the Lord of the White Frost Sword head-on over Yanlan Pass, the news that he took 200,000 swords from the Sword Washing Pool spread throughout the human race.
It was not until this time that the hundreds of millions of sword cultivators in the world finally realized what kind of foundation the Sword Sect had as the first sword cultivation sect and even the first Taoist sect of the human race.
Otherwise, why could the newly succeeded young sect leader still so easily crush Xijianchi, the second-largest sword-cultivating sect, after the battle of Zhongling?
Yes, the Sword Washing Pool has completely become a background board and a stepping stone for Lu Qingshan to become famous all over the world.
Xijianchi paid the price of 200,000 hidden swords for his attempt to "add insult to injury".
Fortunately, although the Master of the White Frost Sword was defeated by Lu Qingshan, Lu Qingshan did not kill him, and even held back, so he did not seriously injure him.
External things are external things after all, as long as people are still here, that’s enough.
Xijianchi's request to be promoted to Dao Sect was rejected without a doubt.
"Master Bai, after this battle between Taoism and demons, I wonder how many more cultivators will rest in peace here." Xia Zhao, the Great Xia Lord, stood on the city wall of Yanlan Pass, looking at the vast mountains with a calm expression but deep emotion.
The Lord of the White Frost Sword stood beside Xia Zhao. There was nothing unusual on his face, but the gloom in his eyes could not be concealed.
Xia Zhao knew how the White Frost Sword Master felt at the moment, and didn't care about his silent attitude. He looked at the clear sky and said to himself, "Who doesn't want to be a Taoist master? Xijianchi has the opportunity to sit in this position, so it's reasonable for him to want to fight for it."
"Prince Qing was like this at the beginning."
The White Frost Sword Master's eyes flickered, and he finally spoke: "Xia Zun, do you think that what King Qing did is reasonable?"
Xia Zhao sighed, but no one knew what he was sighing about. "It makes sense, but it doesn't mean it's right."
"How do you judge right and wrong? To you, what the King of Qing did was wrong, but in the eyes of the King of Qing, what was wrong with him?" The White Frost Sword Master curled his lips, "It's just one person's opinion."
"No, you misunderstood. I am not judging the right or wrong of this matter from my own perspective. My criteria for judgment are very simple..." Xia Zhao said lightly.
"Whoever wins is right."
The White Frost Sword Master fell silent.
“It’s like war. It doesn’t decide who is right, it only decides who stays.”
Xia Zhao looked at the sky and continued, "It's getting late. Sect Master Bai, please return to the sect as soon as possible. The battle between the Dao and the Demon is imminent, and it's time to let the world see the spirit of the sword cultivators in Xijianchi. Otherwise, the stigma of Xijianchi will never be washed away ."
The White Frost Sword Master did not argue and nodded silently.
Two hundred thousand swords are extremely precious to the Sword Washing Pool, so it is a great pity that they were taken away by Lu Qingshan.
But for a sect, what is truly valuable is always the spirit passed down from generation to generation.
Lu Qingshan's words "Where is the spirit of the sword cultivators in Xijianchi" brought far more damage to Xijianchi than those 200,000 swords.
"Qingyun Sword Immortal did not choose the wrong person. Lu Qingshan is indeed the hope and future of the Sword Sect." The White Frost Sword Master sighed, his tone full of regret.
"Lu Qingshan is not only the hope and future of the Sword Sect, in my opinion, he is the hope and future of our human race." Xia Zhao said with a smile.
Such a high evaluation made the White Frost Sword Master's pupils dilate suddenly, and he looked at Xia Zhao in disbelief.
"If you were Lu Qingshan, what would you do?" Xia Zhao turned around and asked suddenly.
The White Frost Sword Master thought about it carefully and gave an answer, "If I were him, I would not hold back."
"So you will never become Xie Qingyun, nor Lu Qingshan, a sword cultivator full of murderous aura and sharp spirit. It seems that your talent is admired by others, but in fact, it is just icing on the cake."
"The sword has the power of being invincible across the world, and the charm of the immortals whose sword light can chill the nineteen states."
“But that’s not the most important thing.”
"What really matters is chivalry, chivalry."
"We must have the courage to draw our swords and help those who are injustice, the courage to use our swords to settle all injustices in the world, and the responsibility to serve our people and our clan."
"This is the way of the sword."
“This is what sword cultivation is.”
It seemed unreasonable for a woman who was not a sword cultivator to define sword cultivators so confidently, but her next sentence immediately made it impossible to refute.
“He taught me that.”
…
After the Waking of Insects comes the Spring Equinox.
The spring breeze blows on the vernal equinox.
The wind rises from the east and finally stops at Yumen Pass.
The devil cannot pass through Yumen Pass, so the spring breeze cannot pass through Yumen Pass.
In the spring breeze, a man and a woman walked side by side towards Yumen Pass with swords in hand.
"Very good." The master and disciple were speechless all the way. When they were approaching Yumen Pass, Xia Daoyun suddenly spoke.
Lu Qingshan was a little confused and didn't know what exactly Xia Daoyun was referring to.
Xia Daoyun did not explain further. He changed the subject and said, "After this court meeting, not only the Sword Sect, but the entire human race will no longer have any doubts about you."
"I was worried that you would have trouble adapting to being promoted to the position of sect leader in such a hurry, but you have done much better than I thought," she said happily.
"First go to the Sword Washing Pool to get the sword, then go to Yanlan Pass to defeat the White Frost Sword Master. These two moves of Sect Master Lu are really beautiful."
When Lu Qingshan heard that extremely unfamiliar name, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Master, please just call me by my name."
Xia Daoyun looked at Lu Qingshan with a half-smile, carefully examining him for several times, as if he had finally seen enough of this extremely promising disciple. He smiled and said softly, "Qingshan, I am very happy to see you achieve what you have today."
"After returning to Yumen Pass, we have to prepare for the grand review. It should have been held when you took office, but the matter of the Sword Washing Pool has been delayed for a long time." She said.
