Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 83: Heaven's Mandate
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Qin Yitian asked.
The inheritance took place in Lu Qingshan's mind, and Qin Yitian had no way of knowing it.
But she could see the sun and moon shining down from the sky, and noticed that Lu Qingshan suddenly fell into a trance for a short while.
Lu Qingshan told Qin Yitian what had just happened.
"Inherited memories?" Qin Yitian's voice sounded a little doubtful.
"Shouldn't the so-called inherited memory be passed on to one's own clan?"
"Indeed," Lu Qingshan nodded, "The reason why I was able to obtain this inherited memory should be because of my sword energy creature."
After accepting the inheritance and comprehending the fifth secret sword, Lu Qingshan looked around and finally had time to think about the reason for this place.
"This should be... the place where Chi Tian's inheritance is passed down?" Lu Qingshan hesitated.
"The reason why the green snake mutated is that it was attracted by the fluctuations of the inheritance land..."
"But the green snake is just a creature created by the young master's sword energy. It is not a real creature, let alone a life. Why would it be affected by such fluctuations?" Qin Yitian raised the question at the right time.
"Also, who built such a place of inheritance? Little Chitian? It is originally the smallest Chitian. What is the meaning of building this place of inheritance? Who is the inheritance?"
For a moment, all kinds of doubts flooded into Lu Qingshan's mind.
"You're right." He frowned.
He gained a lot from this place.
First, one's own combat capability will be improved to a higher level.
Secondly, while learning about the origins of his sword-energy creature, he also seemed to have obtained important information that could very likely change the situation in the Central Spirit War.
But this matter revealed a sense of weirdness from beginning to end, which made Lu Qingshan wary.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
This inexplicable benefit does not seem like chance, but rather has a taste of conspiracy.
"This should be a small world, but... where is the exit?" Lu Qingshan thought of Mo Yan who came with him, "How can I get back?"
Mo Yan did not come to this small world like him.
It’s never wrong to look for a way out first.
Lu Qingshan prepared to set off and search this small world thoroughly.
"Black Lotus, Heart Demon, Three Souls in One?" Before leaving, he glanced at the huge cloud image frozen in the air and couldn't help muttering. A complex expression appeared on his face.
This is a shocking secret.
call!
At this moment.
A cool breeze blew through the space.
The entire small world began to shake.
Then, the voice that was heard before sounded again.
"The command of heaven is based on time and opportunity..."
The grand sound continued to echo in the small world, resounding throughout the sky and shaking the heavens.
The next moment, a sacred and peaceful light emerged in the small world, shining brightly like the light of Buddha, washing away all dirt and worldly dust.
With a puff, the frozen cloud image suddenly turned into smoke and dust and dissipated with the wind.
Afterwards, Lu Qingshan felt an inexplicable breath.
His expression changed and he stepped back without hesitation, trying to leave the range covered by the light. His expression was more solemn than ever before, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he looked up at the sky solemnly.
It's as if he could predict the future.
The moment Lu Qingshan looked up at the sky, a huge vortex appeared there.
In the whirlpool, there was a golden thread, like a fishing line, which suddenly came and headed straight for Lu Qingshan.
This thread is difficult for others to see.
Because this line is the line of cause and effect!
The reason why Lu Qingshan could see it was because he had comprehended the true meaning of cause and effect and was a cultivator who understood cause and effect.
He was horrified and kept backing away, but the golden light followed him like a spotlight.
The golden "fishing line" flew all the way, determined to "fish" Lu Qingshan.
How can it be so easy to get a bargain?
At this point, Lu Qingshan finally understood that the previous benefits should actually be called "bait."
Once you swallow the bait, you are hooked by the fishhook and become fish meat on the chopping board, and the fishing line follows.
A strong sense of crisis emerged in Lu Qingshan's heart.
He didn't know what would happen when he was "caught" by the fishing line, but he knew that in order to eat the bait, the "fish" often paid with its own life.
The cause and effect line glowed with golden light, rushing straight from the sky to the earth.
The golden light ripples, seeming to ignore time and space, and its speed is indescribable.
Even though Lu Qingshan is a sword cultivator with the fastest escape speed among all cultivators, he is nothing in front of this golden line of cause and effect.
His heart was shaken, his mind buzzed instantly, and seeing that the golden causal line was already within reach, his breathing became rapid.
Lu Qingshan gritted his teeth, and with a thought, a blazing red sword appeared in his hand.
"Dragon Bird: Break the Law!"
He swung his sword forward and slashed straight at the line of cause and effect.
This is the only way Lu Qingshan can think of to solve the problem at the moment.
However, the blazing red sword light slashed across the line of cause and effect, but it easily penetrated the thread and cut nothing.
This silk thread is vague and has no substance.
The magical power to break laws that had always been effective has become ineffective.
"This line of cause and effect is not a law!"
Lu Qingshan saw clearly with his eyes that after Longque's sword failed, the golden cause and effect line finally descended on him.
In his practice so far, he had encountered many enemies, life and death situations, and many crises, but none of them had left him so helpless as this time.
One end of the golden causal line stretched out from the vortex in the sky, connecting to an unknown person, while the other end suddenly merged into his body.
It was like fate, connecting him with that unknown existence.
Lu Qingshan was shocked.
He could feel the end of the thread of cause and effect moving through his body, trying to find an anchor point to settle down.
Lu Qingshan's breathing became rapid and his face turned pale. "If I let it find the anchor point, then the connection between me and the other end of the causal line will be irreversible and we will be tied together tightly."
Cultivators have always been most wary of cause and effect, because when they are going through a tribulation, the cause and effect will be "settled" by the way of heaven.
The more powerful the cultivator is, the more he pays attention to cause and effect.
Making random connections between causes and effects is a big taboo for monks.
The causal thread still travels through his body.
Soon, it found its target.
The golden line of cause and effect went towards the natal sword in Lu Qingshan’s dantian!
The so-called anchor point is to find something that is deeply bound to the monk, and then connect the causal line with it.
After the connection, if the monk wants to cut off this causal line, he must first cut off the connection between himself and the "anchor point".
Therefore, this anchor point must be something extremely important to the monk and difficult to cut off.
For sword cultivators, is there anything that could create a deeper bond with them than their natal sword?
Is there any bond that is harder to break than the natal sword?
"Can't hide!" Lu Qingshan made the judgment in the shortest time.
He really has no way to deal with this causal line at the moment.
"Since there is nowhere to hide, the only solution now is to find a substitute. We must not let it use my natal sword as an anchor." Lu Qingshan's eyes showed decisiveness and ruthlessness.
Dragon Bird, Wangchuan River, Peach Blossom, and Demon Suppression, these are all things he cannot give up.
Once the causal line is tied to his natal sword, he will be firmly controlled by this causal line.
Lu Qingshan's face became paler and paler, and he thought quickly of alternatives in his mind.
The causal line is not so easy to deceive.
This substitute must be something extremely important to him and something that is deeply tied to him, otherwise there is no reason for the causal line to abandon its pre-found anchor point and turn to something else.
But at the same time, this substitute must be something that Lu Qingshan can cut off and lose.
Otherwise, this replacement would be meaningless to Lu Qingshan.
These two are a contradictory proposition in themselves.
How could a monk lose something that is extremely important to him?
The only things you can lose are the unimportant things.
"There is no way out..." Lu Qingshan thought carefully, but couldn't think of a suitable alternative, and his face became paler.
The golden line of cause and effect approached in an instant, and suddenly dispersed, splitting into four ends, which were about to connect with his four natal swords.
Just when he was about to be touched by the golden causal line, Lu Qingshan's mind buzzed and a thought flashed through his mind at this extremely urgent moment.
"Maybe... we can use that thing instead!"
At this critical moment, Lu Qingshan suddenly thought of something that was extremely important to him, but even he had never seen the real thing.
The current situation does not allow him to think too much.
The moment the thought flashed through his mind, Lu Qingshan immediately tried to activate that thing.
His body trembled violently, and something suddenly emerged from the unknown depths of his body. It was extremely unreal and hazy, as if it would disappear at any time, but it was real.
"It actually exists..." Feeling this change, Lu Qingshan finally forced a smile on his pale face.
That is, at the moment when this object emerged, he could vaguely see that the causal line with his natal sword as its target suddenly stopped moving, as if it had discovered a fatter fish, and then changed its target without hesitation, swimming towards the newly discovered prey.
In a moment, the golden causal thread was connected to "that thing", dispersed into many silk threads, and then entangled together, becoming inseparable.
These causal lines are uncertain in brightness and darkness, appearing and disappearing. After finding an anchor point, they blend into nothingness and gradually become invisible.
But Lu Qingshan could vaguely feel that with his body as the center, countless threads were spreading out, connecting to unknown existences in unknown places.
Cause and effect are connected and difficult to break.
That is, when this causal line connected with Lu Qingshan, the green snake creature in his sea of consciousness, the "Chi" divine pattern on its forehead glowed, and its aura began to surge.
The green snake had no idea what was happening to its master.
It felt that it was becoming more powerful, so it subconsciously and instinctively began to happily roam in Lu Qingshan's sea of consciousness.
It was in stark contrast to Lu Qingshan.
"You are a heartless person." Lu Qingshan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Young Master..." Qin Yitian, who had the most conscience, had a tone full of worry.
"Don't worry," Lu Qingshan smiled, turned around and comforted Qin Yitian: "I am a sword cultivator, in this case..."
He opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at the vortex in the sky.
The vortex seemed to have completed its mission and was slowly dissipating.
In the whirlpool, Lu Qingshan seemed to see a blurry shadow.
"Except the sword, there is nothing I can't cut off." Lu Qingshan said softly.
Although "that thing" is also extremely important to him, it can never be compared with his natal sword.
The unknown being thought he had been defeated, but he didn't know that he had already opened a loophole in this fatal situation.
Lu Qingshan's eyes were like a lone wolf, cold and murderous.
He didn't know the purpose of the causal line, but he knew that the person coming was not well-intentioned.
He could imagine that if he had not found a substitute in time, the causal line would really be connected to his natal sword, and he might encounter something in the near future.
"Chi Tian, is it... you?" Lu Qingshan's voice was cold, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"I have inherited your legacy, obtained your intelligence, and even transformed into a sword spirit in your form. I am extremely grateful to you..."
"But if you insist on seeking death, then you can't blame me for being ruthless."
"No matter if you are Chi Tian or not, since you want to force a cause and effect relationship with me today, this will be the cause of your death." He murmured in his heart, with murderous intent stronger than ever before.
The cause and effect of today will eventually be revealed.
Then, it will be his chance to retaliate.
As a sword cultivator, you must take revenge for every slight.
How could Lu Qingshan possibly reveal the truth during this festival?
…
On the south bank, in the abyss, ripples flicker before the water mirror known as the Dragon Wall.
A pair of eyes like the sun and the moon were staring intently at the dragon wall.
In the dragon wall, there is an independent figure with outstanding temperament, it is... Lu Qingshan.
A golden thread stretched out from its body, went straight into the dragon wall in front of it, and then shot towards Lu Qingshan.
From its perspective, it could not see the changes in Lu Qingshan's body.
The only thing it saw was the golden thread connecting with Lu Qingshan very smoothly.
Afterwards, Chi Tian felt a very deep connection between himself and Lu Qingshan.
"Only the time and only a few seconds...your whole life is prepared for me. This is the will of heaven!" A deep, cold and complacent voice sounded faintly.
"From the moment I saw you, I knew that the opportunity to return to the Holy Realm that I had been waiting for for many years was in you..."
"This is the law of cause and effect, the choice of destiny. How can you refuse?" It could feel Lu Qingshan's struggle and unwillingness, and grinned.
In the scene shown by the dragon wall, there was a huge dragon made up of golden air currents coiled around Lu Qingshan's body.
This giant dragon cannot be seen by others except Chi Tian.
At this time, the existence called Chi Tian was staring at the giant dragon.
"Change, change..." It kept muttering in a low voice.
In its whisper, one could see an even more vigorous golden airflow, as if it came out of nowhere and suddenly flowed out from Lu Qingshan's body.
These golden gases surged upward and gathered towards the golden dragon.
This is luck, the luck of new life.
Luck that comes out of nowhere.
With the blessing of this huge fortune, two small bulges gradually appeared on the head of the huge dragon above Lu Qingshan's body.
"The dragon turns into a dragon..."
"Dragon horns are growing!"
When the pair of eyes, like the sun and the moon, saw this scene, they shrank instantly, and ecstasy was released.
"Father, brother..." Chi Tian's voice revealed a hint of worry and relief, "Wait for me, I will be back soon..."
At this moment, the new fortune came to an abrupt end.
The two dragon horns were ultimately unable to break free from the bulge and were about to fall out.
"It's not enough, it's not enough. If you want to transform into a dragon, you must have the luck of the middle spirit and the luck of the human race to help you... Lu Qingshan, I have given you the opportunity, please don't let me down!"
