Volume 11: The First Law Chapter 46 Daozu
With a million troops behind him, Lu Qingshan seemed calm and confident.
Lu Qingshan, who stood in front of everyone, had dancing black hair and a glowing red light on the blade of his sword.
He looked around at the White Walkers that had just revived from beneath the lake, then his eyes fell on the King of the White Walkers, and finally waved his hand downwards.
The Qingshan Army surged like a black tide, rushing towards the White Walkers.
"How is this possible?" The King of the Others looked at the Qingshan Army rushing in and couldn't accept it. "How can you humans have such a powerful force?"
This was beyond his understanding.
"Now," Lu Qingshan naturally didn't explain too much to him, but just asked jokingly: "What are you going to do?"
"In this situation, do you have any other tricks?"
These two sentences were exactly the provocation that the King of the White Walkers issued to him after he had an absolute advantage in numbers last time.
Now Lu Qingshan returned it without changing a word.
The spirit of "revenge" is engraved in the bones of sword cultivators.
…
Gu Tianyan, who had just retreated, turned around and rushed back.
He raised his sword high, and with the momentum of his horse's charge, he charged towards the revived army of White Walkers.
The soldiers of the vanguard battalion behind him did the same thing.
The long sword stood like a mountain forest.
The short sounds of weapons colliding continued to ring out.
The previous battle on the Honeycomb Plains did not make the Qingshan Army feel tired. Instead, it was like a warm-up, making their blood boil and their fighting spirit even stronger.
The Shenjiying threw out the last of their stock.
Those were irregular block-shaped objects that hit the White Walker's ice armor with a clang, and the gunpowder exploded with a hiss.
The caltrops poured out in a fan shape like a rain of pear blossoms, covering the entire body of the White Walker.
In an instant, those White Walkers who relied on the strength of the ice crystal armor and acted so recklessly suffered a bitter defeat. Their bodies that were not covered by the ice crystal armor were blown into pieces, and blood splattered everywhere.
The shouts and cries of killing were deafening, metal and iron were clanging, and poisonous fire was gushing out.
Each camp showed off their skills, and the brave generals went out together to kill into the army of the White Walkers.
A large flag with the word "mountain" on it stood far away in the center of the army, flying high.
This grand and magnificent battle marked the final beginning.
…
The King of the White Walkers, covered in blood and wounds, saw himself and his army of White Walkers being surrounded and attacked by the Green Mountain Army, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
He was finally irritated.
The next moment, the King of the White Walkers pulled out the greatsword that had just been inserted into the ice, and then swung the sword towards Lu Qingshan.
In the wind and snow, the giant sword swept out, whistling.
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan shook his head regretfully, "I thought you would have a backup plan, but I didn't expect it to be so terrible."
Facing the sudden attack launched by the King of the White Walkers, he seemed extremely calm and unhurried, his body moving like a ghost.
No matter how the giant sword chopped, swept, stabbed, slashed, or cut, it could not touch him at all.
In terms of strength, the King of the White Walkers is superior to Lu Qingshan, who is blessed with the power of mountains and seas, but his control and use of power is too crude.
So it appears clumsy, dull and useless.
Snowflakes and ice chips were picked up by the giant ice crystal sword, forming tornadoes.
Lu Qingshan seemed to be riding the wind, extremely cool and elegant.
The momentum caused by the battle was beyond everyone's imagination, like a battle between gods, it was jaw-dropping.
This is a battle between the two most powerful men in the world - if the White Walkers had genders.
Boom!
The King of the White Walkers swung his sword again, but the blade that tore through the air still missed and fell on the ice, blasting another hole in the already tattered ice.
"All you know is to hide?" the King of the White Walkers said angrily.
Lu Qingshan was not moved at all, but there seemed to be a raging fire burning in his eyes.
The dragon bird in his hand was danced into a fire crow and stabbed into the chest of the King of the White Walkers.
Without the ice crystal armor, the King of the White Walkers would never be able to ignore such an attack.
The giant ice crystal sword was like an angry dragon raising its head, it slashed upwards to block the dragon bird.
But Lu Qingshan leaned forward, and the Dragon Bird Sword slid down along the blade of the giant sword.
Phew.
The tip of the sword wiped across the chest of the White Walker King like cutting tofu, leaving a deep bloody mark.
Lu Qingshan's face was cold and hard, and he kept thrusting out the Dragon Bird, which cunningly and fiercely slashed across the neck, abdomen, face and other parts of the White Walker King.
The King of the White Walkers kept dodging, but he was not able to dodge Dragonsparrow's blade even once.
"Don't you know how to hide?" Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingshan leaped up. The dragon and phoenix inscriptions on the dragon bird were as bright as autumn water. The shadow of the sword was like a silver bottle suddenly breaking, bursting towards the King of the White Walkers like water, splashing him continuously.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Bang bang bang!
Ding ding ding!
The sounds of weapons clashing, of weapons entering flesh, and of the giant sword in the hands of the White Walker King smashing the ice, all intertwined together in a hurry, like a serenade under the moon.
In just over ten breaths, Lu Qingshan had no idea how many swords he had thrown out.
Until his last sword was delivered, the King of the White Walkers was unable to respond in a hurry, staggered, and actually fell to the ground by himself.
Lu Qingshan looked at the fallen King of the White Walkers. He did not draw his sword again, nor did he even look at the King of the White Walkers. Instead, he turned his back to him, his cloak fluttering.
"Let's end this game here." Lu Qingshan sighed, and the Dragon Bird returned to its sheath with a clang.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Qingshan only regarded everything in the Daoyuan Realm as a game, and never regarded the King of the White Walkers as a real opponent.
Finally, he snapped his fingers.
boom!
explode.
Flames shot up into the sky above the body of the King of the White Walkers.
The shock wave formed by the torrent of flames swept around like a strong wind, knocking over countless White Walkers.
"No!" The extremely unwilling wails of the White Walker King were heard from the flames, but they soon dissipated with the wind.
"Same trick, why don't you learn from it?" Lu Qingshan sighed.
The explosion just now was exactly the same as the one that shattered the ice armor of the White Walker King.
Compared with Lu Qingshan, the King of the White Walkers has a huge gap in skills, and the slight advantage in strength cannot make up for this gap.
So his defeat was no surprise.
In the glow of the fire, Lu Qingshan walked out calmly.
Just like a hero returning triumphantly.
"The general is mighty!" Gu Tianyan saw this scene, chopped down the White Walker in front of him, and shouted.
"The general is mighty!"
Gu Tianyan's roar instantly triggered a chain reaction, which quickly spread to the entire army, and everyone followed suit.
There is both sincere worship and the joy that the years of White Walker troubles are finally being resolved.
The era in which they were born is not peaceful, but through their own efforts, they can make their descendants be born in a peaceful era.
That's enough.
…
The flames gradually faded away.
The White Walkers are also being eliminated.
Is it over?
It seems to be over.
But Lu Qingshan felt inexplicably empty.
Because, in fact, there are still many things he hasn't figured out.
God, what on earth was he thinking? Why was he targeting him?
How did these dead come from? Were they also created by heaven?
What is the nature of the King of the White Walkers?
What secrets does this world hide?
There are many similar questions...
But it seems that these questions will never be answered or resolved.
Lu Qingshan felt a little regretful.
He was thinking about this.
Suddenly, an unknown force came from behind, penetrated the top of his head, and reached the depths of his soul, as if enveloping him.
The world seemed to shatter at this moment.
The chaotic battlefield gradually became blurred and unreal.
Lu Qingshan was struck by lightning and looked back suddenly, and found that after the flames dissipated, the huge body of the White Walker King had long disappeared, but where it fell, a hazy light and shadow slowly rose up and looked at him.
"I've finally waited for you." A voice sounded in Lu Qingshan's mind.
The voice was hoarse and weathered, like that of a middle-aged man who had experienced many hardships and was full of wisdom.
"What is this!?" Lu Qingshan was shocked and felt his soul trembling.
In that light and shadow, he felt endless grandeur, a grandeur that could not be described in words.
Lu Qingshan had never had this feeling before.
The unknown is frightening.
He was not afraid, but he had to be vigilant.
"Don't be so nervous," the voice sounded again, soothing her, "I'm from the same place as you, so we're from the same hometown."
"The same place?" Lu Qingshan frowned, "...Cangqiongtian?"
"Yes, and there is a causal relationship between you and me that is neither shallow nor deep..." The voice seemed a little puzzled, and then said with relief: "It seems that you have a very close relationship with my direct descendants."
"Cause and effect?" Now it was Lu Qingshan's turn to be confused.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself," he said, "My name is Xia Ming, a practitioner of Dharma."
It was a very strange and ordinary name, he had never heard of it... Lu Qingshan searched his memory and made sure that he had never heard of this person.
However, the appearance of the term "Fa Xiu" at least proves that the person in front of him is indeed from Cang Qiong Tian.
It is also possible that he is not from Cangqiongtian, but at least he is not from Daoyuan Realm.
The voice continued, "However, others don't call me by my name. They usually call me...Xia Daozu."
It was like a bolt of thunder from the blue.
Lu Qingshan felt as if thunder exploded in his head and became stunned for a moment.
The first and only cultivator of the Tenth Realm so far, the founder of Da Xia, the savior of the human race who single-handedly saved the world, and the founder of Daozu Xia who had disappeared for 20,000 years?
How is that possible ? !
Lu Qingshan's first reaction was suspicion.
No matter why Daozu Xia appeared in the Daoyuan Realm, or why Daozu Xia existed in the form of a ray of light, it was hard to believe.
Even though Lu Qingshan had never felt the majestic power coming from him, and even though Lu Qingshan did have a very close relationship with the descendants of Xia Daozu - his master was Xia Daoyun.
"I can see that you have a lot of doubts and confusions," Xia Daozu said slowly, with the calmness that a person like him should have, "But it just so happens that I appeared here to help you solve your doubts."
"I would like to hear the details." Lu Qingshan was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked directly at the light, his eyes as sharp as a sword.
"First of all, you have to understand the nature of the Daoyuan Realm. But before explaining everything, I want to ask you a question. Do you know what the world we live in is like?" asked Xia Daozu.
Lu Qingshan thought about it, then shook his head.
“It is complicated, but if you really understand its essence, it is actually very simple.” Xia Daozu said slowly.
"The world , in a nutshell, is nothing more than an osmanthus tree."
"Osmanthus?" Lu Qingshan fell into thought.
This is the ancient name for eggs.
"Osmanthus fragrans is divided into three layers. The outermost layer is the egg shell, the middle layer is a layer of clear liquid, and the innermost layer is the egg."
"The world is like this too, divided into three layers."
"The outermost layer, which is the hardest and largest in area, is the protective layer. It has spiritual energy scattered throughout it, which is what we usually call the sky."
Lu Qingshan's heart was shocked, and he seemed to understand the essence of the Daoyuan Realm at this moment.
Xia Daozu continued, methodically: “The layer in the middle of the world is much more fragile than the eggshell.
But at the same time, its value is much more precious than the eggshell, and it contains many "nutrients" necessary for the survival of the eggs.
To the world, this nutrient is called...Tao Yuan."
Although Xia Daozu's shadow was blurry and unclear, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that the shadow looked at him, and then he continued: "Looking at your expression, I think you guessed it."
"That's right, the second level of the world is the Daoyuan Realm."
“That’s the world we live in now.”
No wonder……
No wonder this world is so similar to Cangqiongtian, even the language is the same.
No wonder the power of mountains and seas that he cultivated from his skills, which was not supposed to be a system of power, was recognized by this world...
All the unreasonable things seemed to be answered at this moment.
Xia Daozu continued, "As for the innermost layer, it is the most fragile and precious part of a world. There, the core of a world is hidden..."
He paused and uttered a word lightly: "Tao."
Lu Qingshan pursed his lips and remained silent.
In fact, after knowing that the Source Realm is the second layer of the world , he already understood what the core of the world is.
"Therefore, the essence of the Daoyuan Realm is the place where the world stores the source of Dao." Lu Qingshan said.
"Yes," Daozu Xia nodded and said, "Daoyuan is the source of life for a world, and in the beginning, there was only Daoyuan in the Daoyuan world, and no living creatures existed."
"However, the Daoyuan Realm happens to possess all the necessary conditions for the birth and survival of living beings."
"Then, as time passed, the first living being was born in the Daoyuan Realm," Lu Qingshan said, "In addition, the Daoyuan Realm and the Cangqiongtian are only an inner and outer relationship, and their essence is the same, so the living beings born in the Daoyuan Realm are very similar to those in the Cangqiongtian, almost the same. It's just that because of the existence of spiritual energy in the Cangqiongtian, many species have stronger power and bloodlines."
"You are very smart," Xia Daozu was a little surprised, and then added to Lu Qingshan's words: "The Daoyuan Realm and the Cangqiongtian are essentially the same, but the power of the Cangqiongtian is spiritual energy, and the Daoyuan Realm is the Daoyuan."
"As you can see, the human race in this world can perform Taoism through the Tao source."
"But the problem arises here. Daoyuan is extremely important to the world. However, as the number of human beings in the Daoyuan world increases, more and more people master the Dao method, and the consumption of Daoyuan increases day by day, until the income is insufficient to cover the expenditure, and the Daoyuan will begin to dry up."
"Out of the world's instinct to protect itself, it must resolve this hidden danger."
"I call it the World Will, you usually call it Heaven's Way."
Daozu Xia suddenly interrupted his narration, explained softly, and then said in a deep voice: "For the Heavenly Dao, the best and only way to solve this hidden danger is to get rid of the people who created these problems."
"It wants to kill all the humans in Daoyuan Realm."
