Time passes.
Half a year has passed since Lu Qingshan and Xia Daoyun returned to the human realm from the abyss.
In the past six months, three notable events have occurred to the human race.
The first thing is naturally Xia Daoyun’s entry into the Sword Fairyland.
This is not only good news for the Sword Sect and Yumen Pass , but also an exciting event for the entire human race.
After the death of two of the three great swordsmen of the human race, Chu Mushen became the only one standing out. Now, a new swordsman has finally emerged.
And she is a female swordsman who has never existed before.
Luoshen Sword Fairy, the first female sword fairy in the history of the human race.
The most important thing is that it took Xia Daoyun no more than six hundred years to become a sword immortal.
——He is also the youngest swordsman in the history of the human race.
What does this mean?
This shows that although the brutal war cost the lives of many monks of the older generation, the new generation of monks are also coming to the fore, and their lead is even higher than the previous generation, and the human race is becoming increasingly powerful.
The second major event was still related to Xia Daoyuan.
After fermenting for several months, the news that Xia Daoyun broke into Jianluo King City and stole six wild battle tactics tablets and ran away finally spread.
People didn't know when and how Xia Daoyun entered the Burning Moon Realm, or how she was able to return to the Human Realm safely , but in short, she did it.
For the human monks who have been accustomed to passive defense and being beaten for 20,000 years, such news is really morale-boosting.
Even though the overall strength of the demons was much greater than that of the human race, they still suffered a great loss.
The demons are not as invincible as imagined, and are by no means undefeatable.
The third big thing is still good news.
The war between Guangling Pass and the Black Armor Domain demons was in full swing. The battle was getting more brutal day by day, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
Because he knew that the Burning Moon Region was in a state of preparation for war and a war could break out at any time, Lu Qingshan really did not have the spare energy to provide support to Guangling Pass at this critical juncture.
However, Lu Qingshan was also certain that given Luo Qiantuo's injuries at the time, he would not be able to recover his combat strength and appear on the front line again in a short period of time.
From this point of view, his trip to the abyss at least helped Guangling Pass to get rid of an Asura King, alleviating a lot of their pressure.
This is the limit of what Lu Qingshan can do within his ability. The rest can only be done by the monks of Guangling Pass themselves.
But in the third month after Lu Qingshan returned to the human realm, a piece of news spread like wildfire.
The Asura King Luo Qiantuo of the Asura clan has disappeared. When he returned to the Black Armor Region to settle accounts with the human monks who had inexplicably appeared in the rear and were causing chaos everywhere, he disappeared mysteriously. It is very likely that he has died at the hands of the human monks.
Even Lu Qingshan, the person involved, fell into deep confusion after receiving the news.
Wasn't Luo Qiantuo rescued by the incarnation of Luohou at that time? How did he disappear?
What happened after he and Xia Daoyun left?
Lu Qingshan was shocked by Luo Qiantuo's unreasonable disappearance. The other human cultivators did not know the secret. They were happy that Luo Qiantuo was in trouble, but at the same time they were wondering about the identity of that human cultivator.
Compared with Lu Qingshan's doubts, this doubt was quickly answered.
The leader of the Sword Sect, Lu Qingshan.
The news released by the new swordsman Xia Daoyun cannot be false in the slightest.
Xia Daoyuan certainly knew that Luo Qiantuo did not die at that time.
But she also knew that Luo Qiantuo had lost the ability to resist at that time. If the incarnation of Luohou had not appeared, he would have surely died at the hands of Lu Qingshan.
Therefore, this statement cannot be considered an exaggeration.
…
In the seven realms of the human race, from the foundation-building cultivators to the supreme cultivators, everyone who heard the news held their breath and was stunned.
Luo Qiantuo is not some small fish or shrimp, but the Shura King who makes countless demon cultivators bow down to him. How could he fall under Lu Qingshan's sword?
They were shocked at first, and then they were excited and happy from the bottom of their hearts. They were happy for Lu Qingshan, and even more happy that the human race had Lu Qingshan.
"He has just passed the Tribulation Realm, but he has already shone with such dazzling light. He can run rampant in the Demon Realm like the Sword Immortal Luoshen, and even defeat the Shura King with the cultivation level of the Eighth Realm!" This is the idea of ​​most low-level cultivators.
"So powerful, how did they do this...how..." These were the thoughts of the high-level cultivators, because they had high cultivation and broad vision, and they could better understand the horror involved.
Luo Qiantuo Shura King is the strongest among the top demon lords. There are no more than a handful of people in the entire human race who dare to say that they can definitely defeat him. Now...
How could a swordsman who hadn't even reached the ninth realm actually kill Luo Qiantuo?
Is there really such an upper limit for a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm?
Unheard of.
"Lu Qingshan? Killed King Shura?" Even Qi Butian's expression changed when he heard the news.
He had seen so many sword cultivators, and even guarded a city with the most powerful sword cultivator of the human race for so many years, but he had never said such a thing, and he had never thought that there would be such a sword cultivator.
"Can you do it when you are in the Tribulation Realm?" he asked Chu Mushen.
"No." Chu Mushen gave an extremely affirmative answer.
"Then how did he do it? He is stronger than you!" Qi Butian couldn't understand Chu Mushen's calm expression.
"You said that he is the one who breaks the situation," Chu Mushen asked as a matter of course, "If he is not stronger than me, why do we need him to break the situation?"
…
What Chu Mushen said made so much sense that Qi Butian couldn't find an angle to refute it. After a moment of silence, he spoke again, "The situation at Guangling Pass is not optimistic."
Very heavy news.
Even though Luo Qiantuo was missing, it did not have much impact on the overall situation of the Guangling Pass battlefield.
"How long can you hold on?" asked Chu Mushen.
"Five years." Qi Butian gave an answer.
Facing the all-out attack from the Black Armor Domain's demon cultivators, Guangling Pass could only hold out for another five years at best. Adding the year that has already passed, it would be six years in total.
"Too fast." Chu Mushen frowned.
Losing was expected, but being defeated so quickly was unexpected.
"Because the Black Armor Domain seems to be willing to use up all their war potential in order to break through as quickly as possible." Qi Butian said.
He couldn't understand this either.
Judging from the current state of the Black Armor Domain demons, even if they break through in five years, most of their strength will certainly be destroyed.
Although Guangling Pass is the most important line of defense in Zhongwu Domain, it is impossible for the vast Zhongwu Domain to have only such a line of defense. The most vivid example is Zhongling Domain - Longcheng Pass was breached, but Zhongling Domain still managed to hold on in the end.
Most of the resources have been consumed at Guangling Pass, and it will become difficult to occupy the Zhongwu Domain.
More importantly, for the Black Armor Domain, the enemy includes not only the human race, but also the other seven holy demon races.
In order to take over Zhongwu Domain as quickly as possible, he exhausted all his troops. Even if he took over Zhongwu Domain, what would it matter? Wouldn't he be making things difficult for others?
"Guangling Pass cannot be breached." Chu Mushen thought for a moment and said firmly.
"It's too far. It takes almost twenty days to go from Tianhe City to Guangling Pass and back. Once you leave Tianhe City and appear at Guangling Pass, Beimang will launch a war without hesitation." Qi Butian was very rational. He understood the implication of Chu Mushen's words and dissuaded him at the first opportunity.
Chu Mushen cannot leave Tianhe City.
Because his departure will not only cause Tianhe City to lose its most powerful combat force, but more importantly, it will cause the war between Taoism and Demons to break out ahead of schedule.
As long as Chu Mushen does not leave Tianhe City, Beimang will not dare to start a war easily out of fear of Chu Mushen, which can buy more time for the human race.
"The time for the second war between Dao and Demon should be postponed for one day if possible," Qi Butian said word by word with a gleam in his eyes, "Lu Qingshan... we must buy him more time."
The news that Lu Qingshan defeated Luo Qiantuo head-on made Qi Butian's confidence in Lu Qingshan reach its peak.
As long as he is given time, perhaps the second ancestral realm is not just a delusion.
“Even if he can’t reach the ancestral realm, at least we have to delay him until he becomes a sword immortal.” Qi Butian said decisively.
Lu Qingshan, who is in the Tribulation Realm, has such combat power. Regardless of how he did it, it is conceivable that once such a person becomes a sword immortal, he can become the twin peaks of the human race together with Chu Mushen.
Chu Mushen also fell silent.
He had no choice.
He is very strong, but he is only one person after all and cannot transform into millions of people.
Chu Mushen sighed, and finally did not act on his own, choosing to follow Qi Butian's advice.
"Let's dispatch a group of monks to support Guangling Pass."
This was the only thing he could do, although he knew that it was only a temporary solution and would not benefit the overall situation. At most, it would allow Guangling Pass to hold out for a few more months.
Five years...
Chu Mushen was helpless.
…
Qingshan Palace.
Half a year after returning to Yumen Pass, Lu Qingshan left the palace for the first time and appeared in front of the monks of Yumen Pass for the first time.
"metropolitan……"
"How come?"
"this……"
Everyone who saw him was stunned.
The white hair that is absolutely inconsistent with his age reveals too much information.
In just half a day, Lu Qingshan's situation spread throughout Yumen Pass.
They finally understood what price Lu Qingshan paid to defeat Luo Qiantuo.
"It is much more difficult to overcome the strong with the weak and cross three levels to defeat Luo Qiantuo than we imagined." Zang Xiu couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news.
"Sect Master Lu is truly an unrivaled swordsman!"
"Will such serious sequelae affect his cultivation?" Some people began to worry, fearing that Lu Qingshan would never become a sword immortal after this battle.
"Lu Qingshan..." Zang Xiaojian, who happened to be at Yumen Pass, was even more anxious and went to ask about Lu Qingshan's situation in person.
Except for the white hair, Lu Qingshan seemed to be the same as before. However, people with higher cultivation could sense that Lu Qingshan's current condition was not optimistic.
Everyone knows that he has been in seclusion for half a year.
The injuries that have not recovered after half a year of seclusion must have damaged the root. Can it really be recovered?
This question flashed through everyone's mind, fearing that Nifa Luo Qiantuo would be Lu Qingshan's last glory.
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
Lu Qingshan helplessly looked at Zang Xiaojian who had an anxious look on his face.
Zang Xiaojian wanted to say something, but was hesitant.
"Look at you all, thinking so much," Lu Qingshan said with a smile, "It is true that my origin has been injured, but it does not affect my practice. I came out of seclusion before my injuries have fully recovered because the remaining injuries cannot be solved by seclusion. They need time to heal slowly."
The same principle applies to a broken bone that takes a hundred days to heal.
"How long will it take to fully recover?" Zang Xiaojian said frankly.
"About four or five years." Lu Qingshan thought for a while and said.
