Although puzzled, since Xia Daoyun admitted defeat, Lu Qingshan naturally wouldn't be stubborn and undermine his own master's dignity.
"Your swordsmanship has already reached its pinnacle, but you have yet to find your own Sword Dao," Xia Daoyun spoke again to Lu Qingshan.
"After practicing a thousand tunes, you understand sound; after observing a thousand swords, you recognize artifact. With your current cultivation, you should seriously consider your own Sword Dao."
Lu Qingshan nodded solemnly, "I understand."
His current skills are a collection of the strengths of both the Human and Demon Race's Sword Dao masters.
But to beco a Sword Immortal, he must carve out his own path.
"Good," Xia Daoyun nodded slightly, then seed to think of sothing, glared at Lu Qingshan, "Even though you've graduated, no matter what, you're still from Sword Coming Peak. From now on, when talking with other won, you must not act as frivolously as you did today, otherwise, it will disgrace our Sword Coming Peak's reputation."
Master, I'm wronged... Lu Qingshan was speechless, not knowing how to explain that mysterious mont of inspiration he had not long ago.
But before Lu Qingshan could offer any assurances or explanations, Xia Daoyun had already soared away on her sword.
......
In the battle between Lu Qingshan and Xia Daoyun, both were highly in sync, neither unleashed any explosive techniques, nor used any killer moves, rely competing in Sword Intent, Sword Qi, and Sword Technique.
Thus, this battle ended much faster than expected.
They didn't go all out, that was natural, but to say they didn't exert effort is also impossible.
Because for Sword Cultivators, the competition of these three aspects already represents many things.
Moreover, the excitent of this battle did not disappoint the cultivators who ca to witness.
Their achievents in Sword Dao are rare.
In the end, it even transford from a contention of spirit to a contention of Heaven and Earth, a grand spectacle, with a magnificent aura.
......
In the seventeenth year of Tianyuan, after the grand inspection of the Sword Sect, Lu Qingshan first crossed the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations at Yun Pass, then fought Xia Daoyun.
Xia Daoyun admitted defeat, Luo Shen Fairy was outmatched by the Sword Sect's new Sect Master.
This news spread across the Seven Domains of the Human Race at an unimaginable speed, and it continues to fernt.
And this year, Lu Qingshan was thirty-two years old.
To know that at this age, for an Eight Tribulation Realm cultivator, it is not even considered a fraction.
His legend continues.
......
Upon returning to Yun Pass, the first thing Lu Qingshan did was, as the Sword Sect Sect Master, send a letter to Heavenly River City hoping to visit Heavenly River Sword Immortal Chu Mu.
The reason for this visit to Heavenly River City was undoubtedly, with advancing to the Fifth Tribulation Realm being the top priority, besides which, he sought to know so secrets and history.
At his current status, his vision expanded, and so doubts he previously could not see now started erging.
While waiting for the reply from Heavenly River City, Lu Qingshan chose to close himself off in Qingshan Palace for cultivation.
In less than a month, Lu Qingshan's cultivation surged from the peak of Integration to the current Fourth Tribulation Realm.
Such a huge leap in cultivation directly skyrocketed his Elent Force foundation from 529,000 to 2,129,000, nearly quadrupling.
An Elent Force foundation of 2,100,000 in re nurical value is comparable to that of an Eight Tribulation Realm cultivator.
In fact, an average Ninth Realm Integration cultivator's Elent Force foundation is around 2,800,000.
With this progress, if Lu Qingshan cultivates to the Sixth Tribulation Realm, his Elent Force foundation can rival a fragnt Integration cultivator.
Of course, this is only theoretical.
— Xia Daoyun, though currently only at the Sixth Tribulations Realm, during the previous duel with Xia Daoyun, Lu Qingshan clearly felt that Xia Daoyun's Elent Force was considerably more abundant than his.
The significant improvent in cultivation requires even Lu Qingshan to spend so ti settling down.
In the upcoming period, he wholeheartedly imrsed himself in consolidating his strength.
Lu Qingshan was familiarizing himself with his own power, summarizing his swordsmanship system, while pursuing his own Sword Dao.
He must rapidly strengthen himself and truly rise.
Although his cultivation speed is already beyond ordinary understanding, Lu Qingshan still feels it's not enough.
Because the war between Dao and Demon could erupt at any mont, he shoulders the heavy burden of a domain.
Frankly speaking, if the Dao-Demon war breaks out, not just the Fourth Tribulation Realm, even with a Ninth Tribulation Realm cultivation, it might not be sufficient; a Sword Immortal is essential.
Should the Abyss unleash its full power, sparing no expense to attack Sky Do Heaven, the unleashed power would be far more terrifying than he imagined.
Ti is scarce, hence Lu Qingshan must seize every mont for accumulating transformation.
Half a month later, he officially erged from his closed cultivation, his eyes shining bright.
The originally uncontrollable surge of Elent Force caused by the rapid increase in power completely vanished, entirely gathered within him.
This symbolizes that Lu Qingshan has fully mastered the power he currently possesses, and the progress is promising.
At this ti, Heavenly River City gave their reply, with Chu Mu personally responding: welcoming Lu Qingshan's visit at any ti.
With Lu Qingshan's nature, he naturally wouldn't dawdle; he imdiately set off for Heavenly River City.
The battle at Yun Pass could erupt at any mont, so this journey to Heavenly River City must be undertaken alone and hopefully completed swiftly.
.....
Sky Do Heaven and the Abyss are separated by a Boundary Sea, naly the Heavenly River.
Heavenly River City stands atop Heavenly River Sea, bordering Sky Do Heaven and the Abyss.
That is truly an edge wilderness.
Lu Qingshan set out from Yun Pass, first transferring via a Teleportation Array, then the rest of the way was on foot.
Even though he was known for his swift flying speed as a Sword Cultivator, Lu Qingshan still spent several days before nearing the edge wilderness.
"Arrived."
Separated by quite a distance, a vast and desolate aura already blanketed the sky, inspiring awe and shock.
Fleetingly, Lu Qingshan seed to hear the sound of the waves crashing against the city walls, imnsely grand.
He gazed into the distance.
At the horizon's end, it was a haze of gray; it occupied all the space, with no visible edge or end.
Lu Qingshan was invigorated, upon close inspection confird that the boundless gray was not a mountain, but the city wall of a fortress.
He knew this was Heavenly River City.
The most magnificent city of the Human Race, without equal.
If not seen with his own eyes, he could never imagine that there could be such a massive city in the world.
It soared into the Sky Do, seemingly as high as the sky itself, vast and boundless, completely surpassing the category of a re city, with a sense of creation.
Even for Lu Qingshan, whether in his past or current life, it was his first ti visiting this city.
Thus, he was imnsely curious about this ga map which was supposed to officially open only in the last version of "Nine Heavens," how vast and magical it truly was.
Lu Qingshan's speed did not diminish, rushing rapidly towards Heavenly River City.
Approaching Heavenly River City, he suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure descending.
The pressure was imnse, difficult to resist, as if a group of high-level cultivators stood on the city walls, releasing their aura.
On Heavenly River City's gray walls were inscribed nurous complex secret patterns, possessing powerful strength.
These secret patterns ford the Supre Array, engraved personally by Ancestral Daoist Xia back then, coupled with the walls made of teoric iron, made Heavenly River City incredibly sturdy.
"Is this still a city?" Qin Yitian couldn't help but utter a low exclamation.
Compared to this formidable city, not just her Qin City, even Yun Pass seed so small.
It's so outrageous; seeing a city whose end is unseen, one can hardly imagine how it was constructed back then, and how much resources were consud.
"Only a city like this can guard a part of the world," Lu Qingshan whispered.
Seeing Heavenly River City here, steadfast for two thousand years, cutting off the Abyss's path to invade Sky Do Heaven, safeguarding the Human Race's peace.
Lu Qingshan looked up, standing beneath the city wall gazing at Heavenly River City, like an ant gazing at the sky.
It stands vast and formidable, silently sitting there, giving an infinite sense of security.
