Volume 7: The Strongest Four Realms Chapter 62: The Three Great Sword Masters of Chang'an
In the void, a bloody mouth was chewing continuously.
The crunching sounds echoed.
Hiss!
Two strange voices were heard.
This was followed by a soft cry.
"What is that?"
It opened its bloody mouth and spat out two sharp objects that flashed with a faint cold light.
They were two black bone spurs with jagged edges.
True Demon Sword Bone.
"It's this thing," the being called the Holy Beast by the demons looked at the two bone spurs and muttered, "It really hurts my teeth."
"It's been a while since I've eaten these demons from the abyss," the Holy Beast licked his lips, as if he was still unsatisfied, "It's still so delicious."
Before being sealed, he had to eat at least a hundred demons every day.
During the 20,000 years it was sealed, it became very greedy.
“Let’s go find the demon first…” A flash of scarlet appeared in the eyes of “Lord Holy Beast”.
…
…
Dozens of shadowy figures were walking on the mountain road, and the rumbling sound of wheels continued to be heard.
This is a convoy. Most of the people in the convoy are leading monsters of various shapes, and behind the monsters are towing a cart of cargo.
Everyone had a serious look on their face.
"Grandpa Gu, why is it that after arriving in this area, not only do I have no inspiration, but even flying and escape techniques are difficult to perform." The person asking the question was a slender woman, the only woman in the convoy.
"I also know that this area is the Jueling Territory, but the Jueling Territory described in the information is not like this?" The woman was puzzled.
"Miss, this is because the information you have read is not complete." The person who responded was an old man.
He had watched his young lady grow up, and he had an instinctive doting on her, so the old man patiently explained, "There are actually two types of Absolute Spirit Realms. The general Absolute Spirit Realm simply has no spiritual energy. This type of Absolute Spirit Realm is called a pseudo-Absolute Spirit Realm. Although there is no spiritual energy to absorb in this type of realm, there is still no problem in performing magic. As for the loss, it can also be restored by spiritual pills and spiritual stones. But the other type of Absolute Spirit Realm is not just a problem of no spiritual energy, but even the spiritual energy in the cultivator's body is suppressed. The area we are in is the second type of Absolute Spirit Realm."
"Miss, why do you think we have to bring pets with us when traveling and let them transport goods? As the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed to the public. It is better to transport goods in a low-key manner through a storage ring. Who would be willing to do it in such a high-profile manner unless the circumstances are special?" The old man, whom the woman called Grandpa Gu, sighed.
The young woman suddenly realized and said with a shy smile: "So that's why I was wondering why Grandpa Gu had to do this."
"Miss, do you know why this Absolute Spiritual Land is so special?" The old man became interested and couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Ah? Why is that?" The woman wanted to satisfy the old man's desire to talk, and also because she was really curious.
The old man explained calmly, "This is related to the business our Gu family does. There is actually a very large magnetic ore vein under this Absolute Spiritual Domain. These magnetic ores contain a strange force field that can dissipate spiritual power. Such a huge ore vein has produced an extremely large force field, which has led to the emergence of the Absolute Spiritual Domain."
"Is this Yuanci Ore the Jueling Ore that our family sells?" the woman exclaimed.
"Yes, this Yuanci ore has the miraculous effect of dissolving spiritual power. Therefore, if it is used as the raw material to refine offensive magic weapons, it will have the miraculous effect of breaking magic. That is why this Yuanci ore is in great demand among cultivators."
"In the central area of this Absolute Spiritual Domain, there is a small city called Yuanci City. They have mastered the mining of the Yuanci ore veins. We only need to send them various materials that are in short supply and spiritual medicines for refining qi and blood, and we can exchange them for a full load of Yuanci ore. Using relatively cheap spiritual medicines to exchange for this scarce and valuable Yuanci ore, such a profitable business is the foundation of our Gu family's prosperity." The old man sighed.
"How can there be so many people doing such a profitable business? Could it be that only our Gu family has thought of it?" the young woman asked doubtfully.
She was raised at home and devoted herself to spiritual practice since she was young, but she had only a vague understanding of her own business. Even this time when she was traveling with the caravan, she took the initiative and sneaked into the caravan on her own.
“Look, young lady,” the old man said, although he looked old, he was unusually strong and full of energy, “This Absolute Spirit Realm is thousands of miles long and wide. If you can’t perform the escape technique, it will be a very long journey to enter the Yuanci City and then transport the Yuanci ore out of the Absolute Spirit Realm.
However, due to the lack of spiritual energy in this area, unless one has reached the level of a celestial being and can ignore the magnetic field, one will be greatly suppressed.
Under such circumstances, bandits were rampant, and some desperate criminals took advantage of the geographical location of Juelingdi to commit murders.
After all, in the Jueling Realm, Qi-refining cultivators always have the opportunity to trap and kill Jindan cultivators.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could rob one or two great monks, obtain a huge amount of resources, and then leave Jueling Land and flee far away?
In the early years, many families wanted to do the Yuanci Mine business, but most of the monks they sent out died on the way.
Under such circumstances, fewer and fewer people are doing this business, and only a few can make it a long-term business, and my Gu family is one of them."
"My Gu family is so powerful." The young woman's eyes were shining and she was very happy.
"That's not how it works," the old man stroked his beard, "My Gu family actually took advantage of the cultivation school."
“In the Absolute Spirit Realm, cultivators below the Refining Void level are basically unable to perform magic.
Needless to say, the weakest ones without spiritual power must be the magic practitioners. Although the spiritual practitioners and the dark practitioners are better, without spiritual power, their methods are also very limited.
The best situation is for physical cultivators and beast cultivators.
You also know that physical cultivators have strong bodies. Everyone has lost their spiritual power and cannot cast spells, so naturally they are the strongest.
As for beast cultivators, although they don’t have strong physical bodies, they do have pet beasts!
Monsters have always been physically strong, humans can't do that, but beast pets can, that's the reason."
"Our Gu family is a beast cultivator family, so..." The woman named Gu Ya blushed slightly, "You were so busy being shocked that you didn't even understand this principle..."
The old man surnamed Gu laughed out loud.
"Where are the sword cultivators?" Gu Ya suddenly remembered something and asked with her head tilted, "Grandpa Gu, why did you forget to include the sword cultivators?"
The old man surnamed Gu shook his head. His young lady was perfect in every way, but for some reason, she was born in a family of beast cultivators, but she had a heart for sword cultivation. When she was a child, she was stubborn and went to learn sword. In the end, it was the master of the house who had to say no to pull the young lady back.
But the head of the family only stopped the young lady from learning swordsmanship, but did not stop her evil heart.
The old man led his pet, a third-grade wild bull, on the rugged mountain path and said with a smile, "Sword cultivators are special and can be divided into two categories. Sword cultivators who cultivate inner swordsmanship are naturally like bald birds or chickens in places like this, with nowhere to fly. As for sword cultivators who cultivate outer swordsmanship, they are better than magic cultivators with their close combat swordsmanship. But it's also like the pot calling the kettle black, not much better. After all, the physical weakness of sword cultivators is no different from that of magic cultivators. No matter how superb your swordsmanship is," the old man patted the wild bull he was leading and said proudly, "My pet will just rush over. Can sword cultivators still do anything in such a place? As the saying goes, strength can defeat skill, nothing more than this."
"So, young lady," the old man said earnestly, "it's better to practice beast cultivation. Don't always think about sword cultivation. It's fancy and beautiful, but it has many restrictions and is not practical at all."
"Besides, Jian, is there anything more popular than a pet?" The old man surnamed Gu touched the sharp horns of the wild bull, which were like metal, and said righteously: "Jian is cold and dead, not like a pet..."
Gu Ya didn't let Grandpa Gu continue to brag, and changed the subject, saying with a face full of longing: "In the Chang'an year, three sword immortals appeared. I wonder when the first sword immortal of the Tianyuan year will be born?"
"It's not that easy. A figure like a Sword Immortal is hard to come by." When the old man mentioned the Sword Immortal, even though he had previously been belittling sword cultivators, he now stood in awe and said with emotion: "Which of the three Sword Immortals in Chang'an was not a rare figure."
Gu Ya's eyes rolled, "Is there any sword immortal embryo in this generation?"
She was locked up at home to practice, like a bird in a cage. Although she was quite fond of the so-called sword art, she didn't know much about the romantic affairs involved.
"Sword Immortals are something very mysterious, so the idea of embryos is just hearsay and cannot be trusted. You should know that in the past 20,000 years in Chang'an, although there are not many sword cultivators who have been praised as Sword Immortal embryos, one or two will appear every few decades or at most a hundred years." The old man surnamed Gu shook his head and whispered, "But you saw in the end, how many Sword Immortal embryos became Sword Immortals?"
"Among the three great sword immortals in Chang'an, the earliest one is the Tianhe Sword Immortal who is now guarding Tianhe City, Chu Mushen. There is a saying that 'If the Daoist Ancestor does not appear, Tianhe will be the supreme one'. He is recognized by the human race as the number one person after the Daoist Ancestor." Now that the topic has been opened, the old man simply counted on his fingers with his young lady.
"The second one is the old leader of the Sword Sect, the Qingyun Sword Immortal, Xie Qingyun.
"I will not lose my ambition to reach the sky, and I will not kill unknown people." How cool and unrestrained he is. He is proficient in all kinds of swordsmanship in the world, and he has established a sword sect for ten thousand years.
The last sword immortal was simply named Chang'an.
The Chang'an Sword Immortal, Li Qiubai, cleared the way in Chang'an City and took the step towards becoming a Sword Immortal.
"I want to go up to the sky and see the bright moon." In terms of talent alone, who can compare with this person? Not to mention the other two sword immortals, even if the scope is expanded to all the cultivators of the human race, it seems that only Xia Daozu can definitely surpass him in talent.
He entered Taiyi at the age of eighteen, and then went out into the world to challenge sword cultivators from all over the world. He was never defeated, no matter if they were in the same realm or across realms, making all the young cultivators of that generation pale in comparison.
The majestic Chang'an City has stood for thousands of years, but at the gateway of Chang'an, the Xuanwu Gate, which can be regarded as the facade of Daxia, there is still a sword mark left by him, and no one dares to erase it. How domineering is he?
Later on, some people even considered it an honor to be defeated by the sword of Chang'an Sword Immortal, and took the initiative to challenge him just to be defeated. It was really laughable. "
"Tell me, which one of these three is not a heavenly figure? How could such a figure be so easy to come by?" The old man surnamed Gu gave a pertinent evaluation.
Gu Ya ignored the old man's nagging and said with a fascinated look: "Sword Immortal, how cool and handsome, I wonder if I will have the chance to meet him in this life."
"How can we ordinary mortals have the chance to meet such a person?" the burly old man said mercilessly to his young lady.
“Unless you practice hard and become a powerful monk, maybe you will have a chance to see them…” The old man couldn’t help but change the subject to “encouraging learning”.
"Why would it be so troublesome? I can meet a sword cultivator first, and then wait for him to work hard to become a sword immortal. Then it will be the same as if I had met the sword immortal." Gu Ya joked with a smile.
"You..." The old man shook his head, feeling helpless towards his young lady.
Gu Ya was going out for the first time, so her mind was very active. She thought of something else, "Grandpa Gu, who do you think that handsome young man was just now?"
"He should be a sword cultivator." The old man thought seriously for a while and said so.
"Why do you say that? According to what you said, Grandpa Gu, shouldn't there be many sword cultivators in this area?"
"Look at the temperament." The old man's travel experience is naturally not comparable to that of the caged bird. "Although judging others' identities based on temperament is a bit arbitrary, it is still about 80% accurate. When you meet more people, you will know that the temperament of sword cultivators is completely different from the other five types of cultivators..."
The temperament of a sword cultivator?
Gu Ya thinks it is very metaphysical.
"That swordsman is so stupid. He dares to break into such a place without a map and even has to ask us for it." Gu Ya couldn't help but mutter again.
"Luckily he met our young lady. Seeing how handsome he was, she gave him a map and even refused to accept his reward," the old man said with a smile.
"Grandpa Gu, you are teasing me again," Gu Ya's eyes widened and her face flushed. "We are out and about. If we help others, we will help ourselves. Besides, the map is free of charge and not worth much. How can I accept payment from them..."
"There is nothing wrong with your kind heart, young lady, but in the world of cultivation, cultivators will not be too grateful. Good people are seldom rewarded, and those who are too kind will not live long..." The old man continued to explain.
Suddenly, a black wind blew up between heaven and earth, and a rumbling sound appeared , interrupting the old man's chatter.
