Vast, broad, and boundless, as if there is no end.
This is the Tianhehai.
The sea that separates the two worlds, named after the sky, possesses a power that can be called one of the greatest in the world and must never be shaken.
However, as the man who bore the fate of defying heaven dropped the divine weapon from the underworld, the mighty power of the Tianhehai finally no longer belonged to heaven and earth.
The sea and the sky met as the man threw out a long sword, then jumped onto the sword and rode it.
A sword rainbow swept across the sea.
"Gu Yiyi!" the man shouted.
"Lu Qingshan, I'll give you a ride!" A childish but cheerful voice immediately sounded from the Tianhe Sea.
Boom boom!
The sea that could never be shaken was split by a line.
Everything in front of the sword's tip was separated.
Behind, waves of sea water were rushing forward, pushing the sword rainbow in front.
There is no resistance in front and thrust behind.
The surrounding environment changed drastically. All kinds of scenes flew backwards and were pulled into distorted rays of light. The sky blurred into a bright blue background.
It seemed that in an instant, the sun rose and set, the clouds changed color, and the stars moved.
This change suddenly stopped.
The sound of the tide is getting heavier.
Tianhe City is majestic, standing between heaven and earth, majestic and imposing, and it is right before our eyes.
In Journey to the West, there is a Monkey King who can travel ten thousand miles with a somersault.
And today, Lu Qingshan's "somersault" is more than just ten thousand miles?
The power of the Milky Way is incredible.
Such great power finally fell into the hands of one person.
So is this person still a human being? Or is he a great sage?
Nobody knows.
All I know is that if he really is the Great Sage, he wouldn’t be Qi Tian.
"Thank you." Lu Qingshan said.
Then he flew into the city on his sword.
The ancestral formation that had blocked the demons for more than 20,000 years became unobstructed in front of Lu Qingshan and no longer required any pass seal.
Because, the sword he wields is named...
world.
…
Today's Tianhe City is suddenly in turmoil.
Some high-ranking cultivators have learned of the news that Sword Sect's leader Lu Qingshan has entered the city on his own.
Heaven and Earth is the natal sword of Tianhe Sword Immortal.
The reason why the natal sword is called the natal sword is that no one can use it except the sword's owner, which is called the natal sword.
Of course, it is not absolute - after the owner's death, the natal sword can be used by others.
Therefore, the Tiandi, which was originally Chu Mushen's natal sword, appeared in Lu Qingshan's hands. What this means seems to be self-evident.
It goes without saying, yet it’s hard to believe.
——In order to keep the matter secret, only Qi Butian knew the news of Chu Mushen leaving the city.
Therefore, in the eyes of the cultivators in Tianhe City, Chu Mushen should be in the city at this time.
Not to mention, Chu Mushen is so powerful and is the strongest among the human race.
How could it be possible to fall like this?
They couldn't believe it.
But why was the Heaven and Earth Sword at the foot of Lu Qingshan, for him to use?
…
The overhaulers all started to move.
Except for Chu Mushen, several great monks in Tianhe City who were the most powerful in both cultivation and qualifications went directly to Chu Mushen’s palace to find out what was going on.
Naturally, no one could receive guests in Chu Mushen's palace.
They did not give up and instead went to the Butian Tower owned by Qi Butian, the master of Tianji Temple.
Qi Butian also closed the door to visitors, but the white lantern hanging at the door seemed to answer their questions.
But obviously, they would not be sent away just like that with a white lantern.
These repairmen stood in front of the Butian Tower, looking as if they would not leave until Qi Butian gave them clear information.
"Tianhe monks, listen to my orders..."
At this moment, a voice as weathered as an ancient tree and as vast as the ocean sounded from the Butian Tower. With the tallest building of the Butian Tower as its center, it spread like ripples and spread to every corner of Tianhe City, shocking everyone.
The Tianhe monks were not unfamiliar with this voice.
It was the voice of Qi Butian, the second-highest person in Tianhe City.
The originally bustling Tianhe City suddenly became quiet, and all the monks were listening attentively.
Outside the Butian Tower, those waiting great masters of the Venerable Realm were also shocked.
Qi Butian finally spoke, but in such a high-profile manner, speaking directly to everyone.
This is the first time in the history of Tianhe City. One can imagine how important what he is going to say next will be.
Thinking of the white lantern at the door, even powerful warriors like them couldn't help but tremble.
No matter what, it must be related to Chu Mushen!
"The Tianhe Sword Immortal is no longer in the human world. From now on, the new Sword Immortal Lu Qingshan will hold the Heaven and Earth Sword and take over the position of the Tianhe Sword Immortal."
What Qi Butian said was far more shocking than his voice.
The whole city was in silence.
"The Tianhe Sword Immortal... has fallen?!"
Everyone was stunned and stood there, completely stunned by this sudden news.
This is bad news.
It’s not bad news for one person or a city.
It is bad news for the entire human race.
The Taoist Master Bazhen, the Taoist Master Huaiyu, the Spiritual Master Haohai, the Martial Emperor Juque... At this moment, all the monks in the title realm in front of the Bu Tian Tower were anxious, angry, and terrified.
The most powerful cultivator of the human race, the only semi-ancestor, has fallen!
Chu Mushen is not only the Tianhe Sword Immortal, he is also the sky of the sky.
With him around, even if the demons are like tigers at their side, they at least have peace of mind.
Now, the sky has fallen.
So where should the human race go?
For 20,000 years, the struggle between the demons and humans has never stopped, and the demons have always suppressed the human race.
It was like this even when Chu Mushen was alive.
What will happen now that Chu Mushen is gone?
The news that Tianhe Sword Immortal was no longer in the human world was so shocking that the news of Lu Qingshan's promotion to Sword Immortal, which should have also caused infinite shock, was temporarily ignored.
The monks in the Venerable Realm are now no different from other monks. They are filled with fear and confusion. They stand still with extremely serious expressions.
"Everyone, come in and have a chat." Qi Butian's voice came from the building again.
The door opened quietly.
The monks at the Venerable Realm present looked at each other and nodded.
Enter the building and go straight to the top floor.
While climbing the stairs, they clearly heard two voices coming from the top of the building.
“I didn’t expect this day to come so soon.”
"So... you expected this day."
"Yes, I saw it, though it was very blurry."
"You never tried to change it?"
“I can only watch and can’t do anything else.”
“The future is what is accumulated in the present, not what is seen.”
"Well said, but I am not you. You only have one."
The monks at the Venerable Realm have reached the top floor and can see two men drinking together in a hall with windows on all sides.
Both of them have white hair.
But one is a grayish white, and the other is a bright white.
Together they patch up the sky.
Lu Qingshan.
…
Qi Butian put down the cup in his hand and waved to the group of monks in the Venerable Realm, "Everyone, please take a seat first."
Everyone hesitated for a moment, then found a seat and sat down.
"You should have heard what I just said."
Qi Butian stretched out his right palm and pointed at the young man sitting opposite him with four fingers together, "Lu Qingshan, the new master of the Heaven and Earth Sword."
When the Venerable Realm monks of Tianhe City glanced at Lu Qingshan, who had white hair but was undoubtedly just a young boy in front of them, they felt terribly disappointed, even dead.
Lu Qingshan is indeed a man of extraordinary bearing, and his talent is indeed unparalleled. According to what Master Qi Guan said, it seems that he has already reached the realm of sword immortal?
What a young swordsman.
But what’s the use?
They could accept the death of Xie Qingyun, and could accept Lu Qingshan taking over as the leader of Dao Sect and guarding the Eastern Region, but they could never accept the death of Chu Mushen, and they did not think that Lu Qingshan could take over Chu Mushen's position and guard the world.
This position is too important and too heavy. How can a newly promoted swordsman shoulder it?
But, who else can take it up except Chu Mushen?
At least they knew that they couldn't do it. Thinking of this, their already cold hearts fell to the bottom.
“Master Qi, isn’t this too much of a joke?” Seeing that Lu Qingshan’s position seemed to be set in stone, even though Qi Butian was in front, Taoist Master Huaiyu swallowed his saliva and still spoke with difficulty to express his objection: “Master Lu, after all, has just entered the Sword Immortal Realm. How can you just hand over the human race to him like this…”
“Everyone present here recognizes Sect Master Lu’s talent and ability, but this position is really too important, so we have to be cautious.” Hao Hai Ling Zun agreed.
…
All the Venerable Realm monks present expressed their doubts and concerns to varying degrees.
Throughout the whole process, Lu Qingshan listened to their opinions quietly without any dissatisfaction or anger.
The venerable monks only saw Lu Qingshan's composure in the face of danger. It didn't matter whether they said he was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger or that he was ignorant and fearless. All they were thinking was, should they really pass this burden on the shoulders of this young man?
"Master Lu, what do you say?" After all the monks in the Venerable Realm had finished speaking, Qi Butian did not say anything on behalf of Lu Qingshan. Instead, he looked at Lu Qingshan who had been drinking tea silently from beginning to end.
Lu Qingshan didn't say anything either, he just tapped the cup in his hand lightly on the table.
clang!
Clanging sound.
Behind Lu Qingshan, seven natal swords appeared out of thin air and hovered in the air.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder.
Different properties and colors.
Lu Qingshan whispered softly: "Suppress the demon."
The dark sword light broke through the clouds.
The second time he said aloud, "Peach Blossom."
The green sword light swept through the air.
The third time he said aloud, "Forget River."
The dark blue sword light shot up into the sky.
The fourth time he said aloud, "Dragon Bird."
The blazing red sword flashed and went away.
The fifth time he said aloud, "Heaven and Earth."
The dark yellow sword light soared into the sky.
The sixth time he said aloud, "Fuyao."
The sky-blue sword light is about to appear.
The seventh time he said aloud, "Lie Que."
Purple air goes eastward, clouds rise like a dragon.
Like a general commanding his troops, seven orders were given and the seven sword rainbows had already gone far away.
I don’t know where to go.
Everyone in the building looked at each other, wondering what the young swordsman meant by this action.
"Dao swords, seven Dao swords!" While most people were still in a daze, Duobao Lingzun, the only one on the field who was good at refining weapons, exclaimed.
"What?"
The others hadn't reacted yet and were completely confused.
"Master Lu's seven natal swords are all Dao swords!" Duobao Lingzun took a deep breath and said heavily.
At this moment, everyone found it unbelievable and did not believe at all that there was really someone who could own seven Taoist swords.
The entire human race can only collect about seven Taoist weapons. How is Lu Qingshan so "rich enough to rival a country" that he owns seven Taoist weapons, and they are all swords?
Lu Qingshan remained calm. Although he didn't intend for everyone to see this, he was still pleasantly surprised to see this effect.
He raised his head and glanced at everyone.
As a result, Lu Qingshan suddenly discovered that no one dared to look at him wherever he looked.
This scene was beyond his expectations.
Although the seven Taoist swords are astonishing, they shouldn’t be like this, right?
So much so that Lu Qingshan felt strange in his heart, "Am I that scary?"
They were all human cultivators. Even if they did not approve of him in their hearts, it was because they were concerned about the current situation of the human race. Therefore, Lu Qingshan did not release any murderous intent from beginning to end, not even any hostility.
I just don’t know why these Venerable Realm monks would react like this.
He didn't know that in the eyes of others, his dark eyes at this moment were as hot as the red sun in the sky and as dazzling as the full moon in the night, as if if he said a wrong word, he would be burned to ashes by the sun and never be reborn, and would be completely purified by the moonlight and his body and soul would be destroyed.
How dare a mortal look directly at the sun and the moon?
After devouring the Heaven-Commanding Dragon with the spirit of the Green Snake and ascending to the realm of Sword Immortal with the cultivation of the Nine Tribulations, he has become fundamentally different from the cultivators.
Although he himself has not realized this yet - in Lu Qingshan's eyes, he is just a more powerful swordsman.
…
The building was quiet.
Lu Qingshan was silent for a while, then spoke.
"Chu Jianxian took the calamity for me and went to heaven to do things," he said in a soft but powerful voice, "So, as a person who is lucky enough to stay in the human world, I must do well the things he left behind."
Lu Qingshan did not hide the real reason why Chu Mushen left the human world.
His words were like countless thunders exploding in the minds of these Venerable Realm monks, leaving them bewildered and puzzled.
Why? Why would Tianhe Sword Immortal, a semi-ancestor, sacrifice himself to suffer for Lu Qingshan?
These powerful monks who had seen countless storms were in deep doubt.
He is the Tianhe Sword Immortal, the number one person in the human race. Who could be worthy of his sacrifice?
Everyone was in a state of disarray due to extreme shock and confusion.
"Chu Jianxian is no longer in the world, and someone needs to take over the responsibility he shouldered," Lu Qingshan glanced at the people who were still in a state of extreme shock, and continued: "You may ask, why me?"
“The reason is simple.”
"Chu Jianxian handed the Heaven and Earth Sword to me, which means he handed Tianhe City and the fate of all human beings to me."
"Of course, this is not enough to convince everyone," Lu Qingshan said calmly, "So, today I will give you a reason."
He raised his arms.
He said softly, "Come."
The following scene was what these Venerable Realm monks, who were already accustomed to the world, would never forget.
A quarter of an hour ago, the seven sword lights that had scattered and flown away to an unknown destination now crashed into the building one after another.
First, a flash of purple flew in and hovered in the hall. At the tip of the sword, there was a head strung across the center of the eyebrows.
His pair of blue eyes were wide open, with a hint of horror in them, and he died with his eyes open.
The owner of the head is the high-ranking demon lord of the Beimang demon clan, the Tiangu Demon Lord.
Next came the Demon-Suppressing Sword, which was the first to leave, and also flew into the building with a great head.
The owner of the head is the top demon lord of the Beimang demon clan, Demon Lord Mingdu.
Fuyao, Peach Blossom, Wangchuan, Longque, Heaven and Earth, one sword after another flew into the building.
The Bishi Demon Lord, the Zhuohuo Demon Lord, the Fushi Demon Lord, the Feichan Demon Lord, and the Jiulun Demon Lord.
Five more great heads.
Everyone was stunned on the spot, their brains were completely unable to process anything.
The owners of these heads are actually the Demon Lords of the Beimang clan.
Moreover, the worst ones are all high-level Demon Lords, and there are even two top Demon Lords who are at the same level as the monks in the Title Realm.
It is not easy for them to kill such a being even on the battlefield.
But now, seven flying swords and seven huge heads were right in front of them.
The owner of the flying sword never left his seat from beginning to end.
What kind of method is this?
It is said that a sword immortal can take the enemy's head from a thousand miles away as easily as taking something out of a bag, but the problem is, the distance between Tianhe City and the Beimang Demon Clan is more than a thousand miles?
That's across the sky, river and sea!
In other words, in just a quarter of an hour, Lu Qingshan's seven flying swords crossed the Tianhe Sea, entered the Liyang Region, took off the heads of the seven Northern Mang Demon Lords, and then brought these seven heads back to Tianhe City.
In ancient times, immortals traveled to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening. Now it seems that it is no more than that!
These old monks in the Venerable Realm, who were almost demons, could not help but tremble at this moment.
I don't know whether to be excited or shocked.
They finally dared to look up and look directly at Lu Qingshan.
There was a look of awe in their eyes that they had never seen before.
"I hope this reason can satisfy you." Lu Qingshan said.
