"It’s ti for the Human Race to understand the thods of our Heart Demon clan," Yu Venerable said with a soft laugh.
The laughter was self-satisfied, yet it contained absolute killing intent and ruthlessness.
....
Central Heavenly Realm.
As expected, after Shui Yue Pavilion Master volunteered, the female sovereign of Great Xia handed over the position to Shui Yue Pavilion Master without the slightest hesitation.
What Tower Master Wei Mo had initially envisioned, the inability of Great Xia to quickly find a suitable replacent, and that the new Tower Master would surely incite discontent among the cultivators of Zhishou Tower, did not happen.
People’s nas cast shadows.
To the cultivators of Zhishou Tower, there’s not much room for defiance against the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavillion.
anwhile, the forr Tower Master Wei Mo, after "stepping down to make way for talent," completely severed ties with Zhishou Tower and disappeared without a trace.
As for Deputy Tower Master Yan Ming, although the female sovereign initially wanted to take action against him and punish him, Shui Yue Pavilion Master intervened and allowed him to continue serving as the Deputy Tower Master of Zhishou Tower.
—— Shui Yue Pavilion Master, as an outsider, suddenly taking over sothing as vast as Zhishou Tower, greatly needed an insider who was well-versed with Zhishou Tower for assistance.
In the situation where Luo River Tower Master was an insider spy and Wei Mo Tower Master stepped down, Deputy Tower Master Yan Ming undoubtedly beca the most suitable candidate.
If Deputy Tower Master Yan Ming were also removed, it would indeed be entirely detrintal to Shui Yue Pavilion Master’s takeover of Zhishou Tower.
With this in mind, Shui Yue Pavilion Master retained Yan Ming, granting him a chance to redeem himself.
With Shui Yue Pavilion Master successfully taking charge of Zhishou Tower, Lu Qingshan’s sches naturally fell into place.
This middle-aged nun valued Lu Qingshan so highly that her first action upon assuming office was to begin cooperating with the Sword Sect to investigate the Rinsing Spirit Sect incident.
Dantai Qingrun also benefited considerably from this, seeing her prospects in Xiuchun becoming even brighter.
After all, she was the "progressive figure" who had once been frad by Luo River Tower Master, endured various tortures in enemy territory, and finally returned safely, coupled with having backing, it was hard not to envision a promising future for her.
Lu Qingshan was happy for her.
But this couldn’t change the reality that their connection and intersections would beco fewer and fewer, eventually nearing none.
The current realm of Lu Qingshan had far surpassed Dantai Qingrun.
Though he wouldn’t beco estranged due to this, the disparity in their strengths seed like a chasm, impossible to bridge, causing them to grow distant gradually.
In other words, Dantai Qingrun lagged behind.
The path of cultivation has always been this cruel.
Along the way, you’ll encounter countless people, countless friends.
But gradually, so of them will fall behind, so will remain in place, so will race ahead, and those who can keep pace with you are far too few.
When you’ve walked this path very far, you’ll suddenly realize that those still by your side are very few, perhaps even none at all.
This is the cultivator’s norm.
Cruel but realistic.
But actually, it’s not just cultivators; in any world, the situation is similar.
....
A new official sets three fires upon taking office.
The first fire Shui Yue Pavilion Master set upon assuming office was directed at the Netherworld of the Central Heavenly Realm.
The Qing King lineage cultivators had long been in contact with the Demon Race and had nurous interactions with the Netherworld of the Central Heavenly Realm.
Using this as a breakthrough point, countless pieces of information about the Netherworld in the Central Heavenly Realm naturally erged.
A thorough sweep abruptly began in the Central Heavenly Realm.
Shui Yue Pavilion Master’s determination was strong; it was to completely eradicate the Netherworld of the Central Spirit Domain, aiming to leave none, not a single mansion untouched.
Lu Qingshan on this side, seeing the matter settled, chose to return to the Sword Sect.
In the past, he might have chosen to stay, participating in Zhishou Tower’s sweep of the Netherworld.
After all, this plot, if spoken in gaming terms, was a large-scale sweep plot, capable of harvesting a significant amount of experience.
However, tis had changed, and Lu Qingshan’s current identity was different; so matters were no longer sothing he could easily involve himself in.
Moreover, since he had broken through to Divinity Transformation, he also wanted to return to the sect and review the Sword Sect’s collected techniques.
Learning one or two new sword techniques was secondary.
His main thought was to read extensively and apply by analogy, hoping that through comprehending other sword techniques, he might inspire his Primordial Spirit, which was just a step away from the four-character Mantra of the Wilderness.
Though it seed sowhat mystical, like trying to test his luck, upon deeper examination, there was logic to it.
Firstly, with Lu Qingshan’s unparalleled talent in Sword Dao, this kind of enlightennt through analogy was not unusual for him.
Secondly, the battle in Chang’an had a trendous impact on the world, with the Sword Cultivators being the most notably affected; witnessing Heaven’s Gate was an invaluable experience.
Through Li Qiubai’s Sword Opening Heaven’s Gate, Lu Qingshan’s comprehension of Sword Dao deepened.
This was his apparent gain.
Furthermore, there was an implicit gain: Lu Qingshan also acquired an incredibly vast Sword Dao qi luck.
Though this wouldn’t directly enhance his combat power, it could bring unseen assistance.
Such as giving him that flash of insight during sword comprehension, making it easier to grasp opportunities when creating secret swords.
....
The Tianyuan seventh year of Great Xia, was terd as a year of upheaval.
In that year, two major events shocked the Human Race.
The Blood Slaughter of Chang’an by the Qing King of Great Xia.
The Shui Yue Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavillion took charge of Zhishou Tower, uprooting the Netherworld of Central Heavenly Realm with thunderous ans, and through the powerful alliance of the Heavenly Secret Pavillion and Zhishou Tower, also posed a significant threat to the other seven domains’ Netherworlds of the Human Race.
Before these two great events, so minor changes in the Sword Sect did stir up so waves but ultimately failed to attract much external attention.
But by the eighth year of Tianyuan, a truly monuntal event took place, shocking the entire Human Race, even to the point of overturning it, making this minor change seem like a re small ripple in a tsunami, insignificant.
Yet, years later, when the world reflected on the tumultuous year of Tianyuan, they found that among the two earth-shattering events, the event that caused not insignificant waves was, in fact, the premier event worth ntioning in the entire seventh year of Tianyuan.
That year, Lu Qingshan beca the Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect.
....
Sword Sect, Qing Peak.
This is Lu Qingshan’s mountain peak.
The mountain is covered in green trees, swaying with the wind, forming a sea of green.
A sword light breaks through the clouds and plunges straight into the green sea.
The Sword Cultivator within the Sword Light descends into the green sea.
Though it seed like a long ti, in reality, only about a year had passed since he left the peak.
In that year, he went from just entering Void Refining to reaching the current stage of Divine Transformation.
It feels like he’s been using so many cheats that even he feels embarrassed now.
Lu Qingshan silently entered the peak.
Recently, he took on two new disciples.
In addition, there was also a king rat prince seemingly practicing diligently on the peak.
True to form, on the peak, he witnessed two little girls each holding an iron sword as big as they were, appearing to be locked in so kind of contest.
The two little rascals, each holding a sword as tall as themselves, seed to be competing with each other.
The Western Rat King, on the other hand, was also on the peak practicing hard, giving off an aura sowhat reminiscent of a worldly sage.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu were each wielding an iron sword almost as tall as they were, appearing not to struggle too much with it.
—Even though the sword is a light weapon, for two children, handling an iron sword like this should have been a challenge.
However, both of his young disciples already showed signs of cultivation, being at the first level of Qi Refinent.
What surprised Lu Qingshan the most was not that they could wield such swords.
Who taught them?
