Volume 8: Demon Suppression Chapter 5: Embroidered Spring
Without hesitation, the tall and thin monk chose to escape at the first moment.
He could sense that Bei Ming Zhen Zun's cultivation was not as good as his, but the problem was that the other black-robed monks who appeared with Bei Ming Zhen Zun had an aura as deep as the sea, with no end in sight.
Great terror!
Bei Ming Zhenzun simply responded coldly to the tall and thin monk's escape.
"Want to leave?" One of the black-robed monks in front of Bei Ming Zhenzun snorted coldly, and a huge palm made of spiritual power appeared out of thin air.
The giant palm created a shadow like a cloud covering the sun. It possessed such powerful force that it pinned the tall and thin monk who was about to perform an escape technique to the ground, leaving him unable to move.
Just like the Five Finger Mountain that intimidated Sun Wukong.
"Bei Ming, I will take this man away." The black-robed monk, Ma Shun, who took action, said in a deep voice.
No one dares to disobey the True Lord of Bei Ming.
Because he was only a deputy master of the Qingzhou branch of Zhishou Tower, while this person was at the level of deputy pacification envoy, commanding the Zhishou Towers of three states.
"Is Sword Sect's Lu Qingshan from your Qingzhou Tower?" Ma Shun asked again.
"Before he became famous, he was one of the staff members of our Qingzhou Zhishou Tower." Bei Ming Zhenzun nodded, with a hint of complacent pride in his expression.
"That's right," Ma Shun nodded slightly, and told Bei Ming Zhen Zun: "The existence of such people will be of great benefit to us in the performance of our duties in Zhi Shou Lou, so we should take advantage of it."
"I understand, your subordinate." Bei Ming Zhenzun responded quickly.
Ma Shun said no more, and retracted his spiritual power. At the same time, a golden soul-binding chain snaked out like a snake and tied up the tall and thin monk who came to investigate the situation.
Then, Ma Shun pulled the rope as if he was leading a prisoner, and quickly disappeared with the monk from the underworld.
Seeing Ma Shun and others disappear, Bei Ming Zhenzun slowly exhaled a breath.
As an old acquaintance of Lu Qingshan, after Lu Qingshan was ambushed by the monks from the underworld, he received a message from Lu Qingshan, asking him to request support from his superiors and wait for the opportunity.
In the end, it was indeed a great harvest.
"What kind of monster is this kid?" He once again looked at Lu Qingshan's "masterpiece" - the Mihe Peak that had turned into a deadly place, and sighed in his heart, "A sixth-level cultivator was defeated by him just like that?"
Once upon a time, Lu Qingshan was just a subordinate of his trusted subordinate.
As a result, in just a few years, Lu Qingshan had grown into the "strongest fourth realm".
Even now, this true master who is in charge of many affairs of Qingzhou Zhishou Tower still feels as if he is in another world and it is very unreal.
Shaking his head, Bei Ming Zhen Zun put away his thoughts, and with an idea in his mind, he quickly passed the news to Jian Zong through the channel of Zhishou Tower.
…
Hidden sword sheath.
This is a huge peak that was cut into the shape of a scabbard, and it is the Sword Sect's scripture repository.
The entire mountain is used as the place where the Sword Sect hides its magic. One can imagine how huge the number of magic techniques contained there will be.
Of course, the so-called vast sea of classics is only relative to other sword-cultivating sects.
If compared with the Taiqing Palace of the Faxiu Dao Sect, the Sword Scabbard is a bit inferior.
Just think about it and you will know that the system of magic cultivation is extremely complicated, with five elements, two different attributes and seven properties. If you pick out any one of them, the number of its magic books can be compared to the total number of hidden sword sheaths.
Lu Qingshan went straight into the sheath.
As one of the rewards for the Dojo Competition, the Sword Sect's hidden sword sheath had long been open to him without any restrictions, so he did not encounter any obstacles.
The purpose of his trip was simple, he came here to learn the inner sword technique.
Compared to his outer sword skills, his inner sword skills are indeed a bit stretched and need to be strengthened.
The magic book of the inner sword is located on the top layer of the sword scabbard.
From this we can see that although the internal and external meridians of sword cultivators are on parallel grounds, the status of the inner sword is actually slightly higher.
For sword cultivators, the inner sword means "I have something that you don't", while the outer sword is more like "I have what you have too". In addition, since range is truth, it is not surprising that the flying sword, as the most signature and unique means of sword cultivators, has a higher status.
Of course, there are differences in status, but there is no difference between strong and weak.
Lu Qingshan looked around and saw that the space inside the sword sheath was extremely large.
Grooves were carved out on the surrounding rock walls, and many jade slips were displayed in them.
And on the stone wall next to the groove, there is a sword mark, through which divine information can be seen.
As long as Lu Qingshan probed with his spiritual thoughts, he could obtain the spiritual thoughts information in the sword marks, which turned out to be a brief introduction to the hidden magic.
There are a lot of sword techniques hidden in the sword sheath, roughly estimated to be thousands of them.
Doesn’t sound like too much?
But one thing you have to know is that the sword technique that can be scabbarded by the Sword Sect cannot be a weak technique.
Under this premise, thousands of magic techniques is a terrifying number.
This is the foundation of the Sword Sect, a huge treasure trove of knowledge.
The saying that knowledge is power is equally applicable even in the world of cultivation where great power is concentrated.
Lu Qingshan began to wander around and search in the top layer of the sword sheath.
"Seven Star Killing Sword", "Five Elements Sword", "Invisible Sword", "Thunder Secret Sword", "Cloud Piercing Sword", "Cold Flame Sword"...
These were all sword-explosion techniques, which focused on strengthening the capabilities of individual flying swords. For example, the Seven-Star Killing Sword collected the essence of stars and added the power of stars to the flying sword when it was launched, thereby increasing the lethality of the flying sword. The Cloud Piercing Sword increased the range of the flying sword...
There are also "Dual Immortal Sword", "Spectral Sword Formation", "Twelve Heavenly Evil Swords"...
These are all sword formation techniques, emphasizing the coordination between multiple natal swords to form a sword formation.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you have to learn many swords to practice the sword formation method, because there is a type of sword called divided sword, that is, a sword is actually composed of several, dozens or even hundreds of small swords.
If this kind of sword is used as the natal sword, cultivating one natal sword is equivalent to cultivating dozens of natal swords.
However, the shortcomings of this natal sword are also obvious.
A sword can be divided into ten small swords, which means that its power is divided into ten parts, so the power is naturally extremely insufficient!
Generally speaking, those who cultivate this kind of natal sword must be sword cultivators who specialize in the art of sword formation. Through the ability of the sword formation that one plus one is greater than two, the divided sword can burst out with terrifying power.
Lu Qingshan’s purpose was clear, he came here for the sword-exploding technique.
Only when you do everything to the extreme can you be the strongest.
His flying sword is already famous for its lethality, so if that's the case, then just kill more.
As for the art of sword formation , Lu Qingshan has always been very indifferent to it.
Because his fighting style emphasizes the word "change", the inner and outer swords can be switched with the goal of using the most suitable sword.
However, the art of sword formation has strict restrictions on swords.
For example, the Three Talents Lotus Sword Formation requires three swords to be used. If he practices this sword formation technique, it means that once he uses the Three Talents Lotus Sword, he can only go one way and fight to the end with his inner sword - because he only has three natal swords now.
Lu Qingshan didn't like this kind of restriction because it didn't provide him with freedom, so he didn't consider it.
Because he had a clear understanding of his needs, Lu Qingshan quickly selected two sword-blasting techniques that he liked.
One is "Falling Star", this technique can hold the gravity of the meteorite in the flying sword, it is a powerful sword technique.
But what Lu Qingshan valued more was that due to the gravity of the meteorite, this sword-exploding technique also had a hidden effect - the ability to repel.
If used well, Falling Star can even be used as a controlled sword technique.
It will be especially effective when used to restrict the advance of physical cultivators.
Powerful sword control?
In Lu Qingshan’s previous life, there was a general rule in the gaming world that the damage of control skills must not be too high, for the sake of balance.
Once someone has both skills, he or she is a supermodel and it is the designer's mistake.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan chose this internal sword technique without hesitation.
The other is "The Heart's Eye".
This is a technique that sounds like it has nothing to do with swordsmanship, but the fact is, it is indeed a sword-blasting technique.
Its ability is also very special. It does not enhance the power of the flying sword, nor does it grant special attributes to the flying sword. Its function is to enable the flying sword to accurately strike enemies out of field of vision.
There are two concepts of enemies out of sight. One is in terms of distance.
This concept is easy to understand. If the enemy's position is beyond your line of sight, it will be difficult to hit him accurately even if your flying sword can fly that far.
The other is on the level of illusion.
For example, some cultivators are proficient in the art of illusion, with countless clones, real and unreal, while the flying sword of a sword cultivator is just a single sword. When encountering such an opponent, they often fall into an awkward situation - they cannot kill him.
The mind is the solution to these two problems.
After practicing this technique, it is as if an intercontinental missile is equipped with satellite radar navigation, and no illusions of the opponent can deceive you.
What's even more terrifying is that as your cultivation level increases, the ever-increasing range of the flying sword combined with your mind will produce the terrifying effect of "You haven't even seen me yet, but I've already started beating you."
Thousands of miles away, Feijian Express will accomplish its mission.
Finally, these two sword-exploding techniques have one common feature: they have a complete system.
The most important thing in the inheritance of magic is the system.
What is a system?
For example, the magic spell cultivated by practicing Qi, the Fire Bomb Spell, can be upgraded to the Fireball Spell when building the foundation, the Golden Elixir can then transform into the Big Fireball Spell, and the Nascent Soul is the Flame Explosion. This kind of transmission from one lineage to another forms a system.
If there is no so-called system, it would be like the Zhuiming Sword Technique that Lu Qingshan had practiced earlier. It was very useful when he was refining Qi, but as his cultivation level improved, this sword technique became a useless thing and had no meaning of use, which was equivalent to wasting experience points.
But for ordinary cultivators, it is a waste of a lot of time and energy.
The lifespan of monks is extremely long, but that is only relatively speaking. In fact, apart from some special cases, the common situation for more monks is that their lifespan is not enough.
Not only do they need to cultivate skills and spells, they also need to plunder resources. Sword cultivators also need to maintain their swords, and body cultivators also need to cultivate their bodies...
If a cultivator wants to achieve great success, there are very, very many things he needs to do. Wasting time on some techniques that have no future is one of the reasons why independent cultivators are often not as good as cultivators from large sects.
As for these two sword-blasting techniques, they can be practiced in the Refining Void stage, and when they reach the Spiritual Transformation stage, there will be corresponding advanced versions, so there is absolutely no such thing as a waste.
…
After learning two new inner sword techniques, Lu Qingshan returned to the peak to practice hard.
On the third day after returning to the peak, he received a spiritual letter from Bei Ming Zhen Zun.
"Sure enough, this matter is not over yet," Lu Qingshan looked at the spiritual letter in his hand, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and murmured: "But even if you think it through, I will not agree..."
In that ambush, he lost 600 years of his life, more than half his life, and was forced to destroy the Lu family's ancestral land.
With such a loss, how could Yuan Cang's life alone be enough to appease Lu Qingshan's anger?
If you want me to die, I will never let you live.
Revenge is something that is ingrained in the nature of sword cultivators.
On this day, Lu Qingshan quietly left Qingfeng, left Jianzong, and through the teleportation array, plunged into the boundless territory of Zhongtian Realm.
…
Zhongtianyu Shazhou.
Zhishoulou
In a small hall deep inside, a young woman and a middle-aged monk sat opposite each other.
“…Since the Tianyuan Year, the underworld has begun to become active. Correspondingly, the demons in the Seven Mountains and the Tianhe River have also begun to stir…After 20,000 years of preparation, the time for the demons to launch a second genocide war is approaching, and there is no doubt about it. It is also because of this critical situation that, starting from your sequence, Daxia has no longer considered the loss of resources for training. …Three years in the Huaxian Pond, the opening of the Yuan Realm, and sixty years in the Xuanji Realm. But no matter how you force things to happen, it only took a total of six years in the outside world for you to go from Jindan to Lianxu. Tan Tai Qingrun, you are the most outstanding one in the Zhishou Tower sequence in the past few decades.” The middle-aged cultivator said calmly.
The woman opposite the middle-aged monk had sharp eyebrows and a sword-like gleam in her eyes.
It was because of the sequence quota that Tan Tai Qingrun came to the Zhishou Tower headquarters to receive training!
"Once you reach the stage of refining emptiness, the sequence training will be completed." The middle-aged cultivator said slowly.
Refining the void is the ultimate of human endeavor.
Just like college students can be trained through the allocation of resources, but masters and doctors are not just a matter of resources, but more importantly, personal ability is valued. People who do not have the qualifications cannot become doctors no matter how good the resources are.
Therefore, “compulsory education” ends at the stage of refining emptiness.
"The underworld is rampant, and we need to slay demons and restore peace to the world. Next, you can choose an area as your responsible area. What do you think?" asked the middle-aged male cultivator.
"The Southern Region." Tan Tai Qingrun replied coldly.
She came from the Southern Region and ended up in the Southern Region, which was a natural choice.
"Well, very good." The middle-aged male cultivator opposite pushed over a Lingpai.
The token is oval in shape, made of black iron and dark jade, with two words engraved on it:
"Embroidered Spring".
"The emperor has granted special permission to mobilize thousands of cultivators," the middle-aged male cultivator finally warned, "do not abuse your power."
"Clear and clear." The woman's voice was sonorous and powerful.
…
Tan Tai Qingrun left Zhishou Tower with a heavy heart.
Chaos is about to break out, and no one who knows about it can remain calm.
Twenty thousand years ago, Xia Daozu ruled the world.
Twenty thousand years later, is there anyone who can stand up and end this turmoil?
She felt somewhat complicated.
Tan Tai Qingrun shook his head and decided not to think about it.
How much fire there is, how much light there is.
It was all she could do.
Her current duty is to dig .
To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation.
How can we fight against the demons with all our strength if we don’t eliminate the internal troubles?
However, this is a very difficult task and she currently doesn't have much idea.
Tan Tai Qingrun, who was deep in thought and frowning, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Because not far away, there was a man standing with black hair draped over his shoulders, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Why are you here?" Tan Tai Qingrun's heart moved.
"Zhenzun Bei Ming told me that you will be leaving today, so I came to welcome you." Lu Qingshan chuckled as he looked at Tan Tai Qingrun, whom he hadn't seen for six or seven years.
After not seeing each other for six years, Tan Tai Qingrun is no longer dressed in snow-white clothes, but is now dressed in a black brocade robe, looking heroic.
The brocade robe as a whole looks a bit like a dress, and the lower part is shaped like a pleated skirt with symmetrical pleats on the left and right.
There are also four-claw flying fish patterns on the brocade robe, such as "blue woven gold-made flying fish over the shoulder silk", "blue woven gold-made flying fish silk", "red woven flying fish patch silk", "red woven gold flying fish patch silk"...
The flying fish "looks like a pig but has red markings. If you eat it, you won't be struck by thunder and can defend against enemies." It is a powerful spiritual beast.
Just like the bear robe bestowed by Guiyuan Zhenzun, the brocade robe is a kind of bestowed robe by Daxia.
It’s just that its grade is extremely high and has a special name.
Flying fish suit.
Moreover, this flying fish suit will only appear on one type of person.
"Embroidered Spring".
That is, the sequence of the Zhishou Tower, who is the most powerful person in the Zhishou Tower. His duty is to eliminate demons and destroy the underworld. If he finds that any Daxia official is colluding with the underworld, he can even execute him first and report later without being held accountable.
This is the most lethal sword in Daxia.
Why does such a blood-stained sword have such a delicate name as "Xiuchun"?
because……
To embroider spring, to embroider spring, means to embroider a beautiful picture of rivers and mountains.
Xiuchun's existence was never for killing people, but for "Xiuchun".
but……
Only by killing people can we protect our beautiful land.
