Chapter 14 The Sword Immortal Gives the Sword
"The armor of the gods has been listed as a forbidden object for a long time, but there are a large number of monks wearing the armor of the gods in your Shuiyuntai." Li Qiubai asked the first question in a very flat tone.
The decision to designate the Divine Armor as a forbidden object was made by Xia Zhao, the current Great Xia Venerable.
Shuiyuntai, as the Department of Artifacts of the Great Xia, disregarded the ban, which was a heinous crime.
"Chang'an Sword Immortal may not know that just a dozen years ago, Daxia held another discussion on the ban on the Divine Armor.
After this discussion, Daxia finally decided to lift the ban on Shenjia, and even began to vigorously support the development of Shenjia art. "Shui Wuya seemed unhurried and very calm about this sensitive issue.
Li Qiubai was expressionless and didn't say anything more.
If it was Shuiyuntai's yang and yin's defiance, he would naturally not be more polite to Shuiyuntai.
But since it was Da Xia's decision, even if he wasn't used to the matter of Shenjia, he wouldn't be meddling in his business.
In fact, there is no clear distinction between right and wrong in this matter, and it is more of a difference of opinion.
That's the way it is.
Even if they belong to the same Great Xia and belong to the human race, everyone's goal is to fight against the demon race.
But as long as there are many people, there will inevitably be many differences when it comes to the methods of doing things and the minutiae.
Both in concept and in style.
Some people think that as long as the result is good, it doesn't matter if the process is cruel.
Just like the Divine Armor, although it will gradually deprive a monk of his autonomy, it is unquestionable that it can also greatly enhance the combat power of the human race.
A piece of top-level divine armor can allow a monk to have the combat power of the seventh realm.
And to cultivate a seven-level monk, the time and resources required are definitely several times, or even dozens of times, the cost of refining a top-level divine armor.
From this point of view, Shenjia should not only be banned, but should also be poured into resources and vigorously developed.
In the Great Xia, there were indeed people who thought so.
It's just that at the beginning, Shenjia was finally banned by Xia Zhao with the statement that "Big Xia needs to look forward, but it can't be at the expense of humanity".
Until recently, the situation on the battlefield outside the territory has become increasingly dire. A war between the two clans may break out at any time, and Great Xia urgently needs every strength.
In this situation, the Divine Armor was taken out of the table again.
And this time the people who support Shenjia account for the majority.
So even though Xia Zhao didn't like it, she finally agreed to lift the ban.
"The matter of Tai'an City is related to you?" Li Qiubai looked at Shui Wuya and asked again with a blank expression.
Lu Qingshan also pricked up his ears.
This is the purpose of their trip.
A surprised expression appeared on Shui Wuya's face, "What about Tai'an City?"
"I don't know what Chang'an Sword Immortal is referring to? I don't quite understand at the moment." He asked.
Seeing Shui Wuya's puzzled expression, Lu Qingshan couldn't help frowning.
"All the people in Tai'an City have disappeared, and they don't know where they went or who did it. However, in Tai'an City, there is a monk wearing your Shuiyuntai armor, who is intercepting and killing the monk who discovered the situation in Tai'an City. .” Li Qiubai said.
"The whole city is empty?" Shui Wuya said in horror,
A divine light flashed in his eyes, obviously shocked by the news.
"It's not just a city, but Winter Forest City and Thousand Bird City are also in this situation." Li Qiubai's voice became colder.
It's just that in the other two cities, he didn't find too many clues, and he didn't meet the god armor monk until Tai'an City.
"How is this possible?" Shui Wuya's face became ugly, realizing the importance of this matter.
He was silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth and said: "I, Shui Wuya, can guarantee in the name of the suzerain of Shuiyuntai that we, Shuiyun Taiwan knows nothing about it, let alone participate in it."
"As for the monks wearing our Shuiyuntai armor appearing in Tai'an City..."
Shui Wuya said in a deep voice: "Before this, Xu Su, the lord of the Sword Grave, asked me for a batch of armor, and I gave it."
At this point, the meaning of the suzerain of Shuiyuntai is very clear.
"Shenjia is the property of Shuiyuntai, you gave it to others so easily?" Li Qiubai's voice became colder.
"It was my mistake," Shui Wuya said with an apologetic expression on his face, "I once owed a favor to Xu Su, the suzerain of the Sword Grave, so after he asked me for the armor, I hesitated, but in the end I gave it to him. God Armor was given to him."
This is already regarded as an act of public-seeking for personal gain, and it is beyond the norm.
"I will report this matter to my lord later and plead guilty to her." Shui Wuya said seriously.
This is Shuiyuntai's matter, or Da Xia's matter, even if it violates the rules, it has nothing to do with Li Qiubai.
So since Shui Wuya made such a promise, Li Qiubai did not bother with this matter anymore.
"Other than that, has the Divine Armor ever flowed out?" Li Qiubai asked again.
"I can guarantee this." Shui Wuya said in a solemn voice, "Shenjia is our Shuiyuntai's strategic resource, and every whereabouts has detailed records and tracking."
Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes.
In other words, the god armor monks in Tai'an City can only come from the sword grave.
This matter is actually related to Jianfen... It really is complicated and intertwined.
"Why did you stop me earlier?" Li Qiubai asked in a cold voice.
"It's the news from Daxia. They said that Your Excellency will come to visit during this period of time. Let me, Shuiyuntai, close the door to see no visitors when you come to the door, and open the building after ten days." Shui Wu Ya told the truth.
"Who is the message from Daxia?" Li Qiubai frowned.
Who would such a strange order come from?
"I only know that it's the news from the Great Xia Imperial Court, but I don't know who it came from." Shui Wuya said.
.........
…………
"Sovereign, they have already left, and they have reached the first line of sky." On the top floor of the Shuiyun Building, the burly Lu Mingliang walked in, and reported respectfully.
Shui Wuya nodded, indicating that he understood.
After a simple conversation and getting the information he wanted, Li Qiubai took Lu Qingshan and turned away without staying in Shuiyun Tower for long.
It also relieved them.
The pressure from Sword Immortal is really too great.
"Sect Master, why did Chang'an Sword Immortal come here this time?" Lu Mingliang couldn't help but asked in confusion.
Shui Wuya thought for a while, and then briefly informed Lu Mingliang of the information that Li Qiubai had revealed just now.
"Three empty cities?" Lu Mingliang's pupils suddenly dilated, "Is this what King Qing did?"
"It should be." Shui Wuya's complexion didn't seem to have changed much, but his slightly trembling lips revealed the emotional instability in his heart at this moment.
"What the hell is Prince Qing planning to do?" Lu Mingliang gritted his teeth in disbelief.
"He should be preparing to advance to the Ancestral Realm. Of course, this is just my guess." Shui Wuya pondered.
"Ancestral realm?" Lu Mingliang was taken aback.
What is this concept?
The ancestral realm is the tenth realm.
After so many years of history of the human race, Xia Daozu was the only person recorded in the ancestral realm.
Even the strongest person recognized by the human race today, Tianhe sword fairy Chu Mushen, is still far away from the ancestral realm.
King Qing actually started preparing to be promoted to the Ancestral Realm? !
"Can he do it?" Lu Mingliang took a deep breath and asked, his tone full of doubts.
King Qing's life is enough to be called a legend, but compared with Xia Daozu, it is far from it.
Leaving aside Xia Daozu, King Qing is incomparable even with those three sword celestial beings.
It was hard for him to believe that King Qing could break through the ancestral realm.
Why?
"I don't know," Shui Wuya shook his head, "In all fairness, King Qing may be somewhat confident in his careful planning."
"It's just that this ancestral realm is by no means something that can be calculated by human beings. It still depends on God's will. Otherwise, my human race would not have been so many years. The only one in the ancestral realm is Xia Daozu," Shui Wuya thought for a while, and said : "However, although the ancestral realm is almost impossible, the half-ancestor is still somewhat possible."
If the promotion to the ancestral realm fails, but in the process, there are indeed gains, detached from the original realm, then it will be called the half-ancestral realm.
"Banzu, for our current human race, it is also the top combat power." Lu Mingliang said in a deep voice.
In the Human Realm, there is no practitioner stronger than the Half Ancestor Realm.
Even if the Tianhe Sword Immortal Chu Mushen is unparalleled in combat power, he can still reach the level of the half-ancestor.
And in the entire Human Domain, apart from Xia Daozu and the half-ancestor, there is one and only Chu Mushen.
If King Qing can really reach this level, it will be a great thing for the human race, which is equivalent to directly doubling the top combat power of the human race.
Moreover, King Qing is a physical practitioner, his body is unparalleled.
At that time, he will join forces with Chu Jianxian, who is attacking Wushuang, to fight against the enemy. The two complement each other, and the combat power they can exert is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.
"Did the suzerain really tell Chang'an Sword Immortal all the news?" Lu Mingliang hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help asking.
Shui Wuya nodded slightly.
"But..." Lu Mingliang showed a hesitant expression, and his consciousness was obvious.
"Leaving aside what King Qing is doing now, it is very likely that it is against the norms of nature and human nature. If we conceal it, there is a high probability that we will be helping the evildoers.
Just relying on our Shuiyuntai alone, how can we have the qualifications and the courage to cheat in front of Chang'an Sword Immortal? "
Shui Wuya looked up into the distance, and looked out through a corner window on the wall.
At this time, the Lancang River, which had just been cut off by Li Qiubai's finger, still hadn't closed.
The most proud sword intent in the world.
He couldn't help murmuring: "If this finger falls on our Shuiyun Tower..."
Lu Mingliang couldn't help trembling when he heard the words, as if he had seen the scene of the ground breaking that day.
"Chang'an Sword Immortal is not a soft-tempered person." Shui Wuya said.
Or it should be said that sword cultivators are not soft-tempered.
"We had the audacity to stop Sword Immortal earlier, if it wasn't because we belonged to the Great Xia Artifact Department, for Xia Zhao's sake, this finger would not have been aimed at the Lancang River!"
"Forgive us once, but if we don't know how to compliment, Chang'an Sword Immortal will never be more polite to us." Shui Wuya is very self-aware.
This is a madman who dared to leave a sword on Chang'an Xuanwu Gate.
What is their Shuiyuntai worth to such people?
The reason why he kept his hand was just to save Xia Zhao's face, not because he didn't dare.
"But, didn't King Qing say that Li Qiubai had already fallen into the Sword Immortal Realm?" Lu Mingliang thought of this again, "Why is he still so powerful?"
Regarding this question, Shui Wuya hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said: "I don't really know about this, it may be that King Qing's information is wrong.
However, Li Qiubai did fall to the Sword Fairyland, but it is not impossible to return to the Sword Fairyland now. "
"Who knows?"
Shui Wuya sighed leisurely, a little embarrassed.
"When my Shuiyuntai was almost replaced, it was King Qing who saved Shuiyuntai with all his strength. We have to pay back this love."
"So, I said everything, except that I didn't reveal King Qing's name."
"I can only do this." Shui Wuya said softly.
…………
King Qing's task for Shuiyuntai was to delay Li Qiubai for at least ten days.
But who would have thought that after Li Qiubai cut the river with his finger, not to mention procrastination, it would directly make Shuiyuntai dare not refuse, and he was sincerely convinced, and told all the information he knew.
…
Leave Shuiyun Building and board the ship again.
The big ship sailed against the current, and after a ray of sky, it continued to advance on the river.
Lu Qingshan and Chang'an Sword Immortal stood at the bow of the boat, watching the scenery on both sides, with different thoughts.
"Boy." On the bow of the ship, Li Qiubai said suddenly.
"Senior." Lu Qingshan responded quickly.
"Your swordsmanship is not simple, and your strength is not low." Li Qiubai asked calmly, "Now you should have been able to break through the transformation of the gods, why do you want to stay here for a long time?"
"Not strong enough." Lu Qingshan smiled wryly, and said the truth.
"Insufficient strength?" Chang'an Sword Immortal twitched his eyebrows, surprised by the answer.
He didn't think that Lu Qingshan was pretending to be modest.
But obviously with the strength shown by Lu Qingshan, there shouldn't be such a problem.
Li Qiubai cast his eyes on Lu Qingshan, waiting for his further explanation.
"Boy, I was lucky enough to break through the Ten Flowers Realm in the Void Refinement, but with just one drink and one peck, my Yuanli Divine Gate was so strong that it was difficult to open." Lu Qingshan explained.
"Extreme Realm of Ten Flowers?" Li Qiubai's eyes flashed a gleam, "So that's how it is."
On top of the nine flowers, there are actually ten flowers?
This was the first time he had heard of it, but he quickly accepted it.
No wonder the strength displayed by this kid is not like that of a Void Refining cultivator at all.
"If I want to break the Ten Flowers God's Gate, my idea is to improve my swordsmanship and break through." Lu Qingshan said again.
"It's a pity." Li Qiubai commented.
Under his inspiration, Lu Qingshan realized something just now, and comprehended the secret sword technique: Spring Wind Returns.
However, Spring Breeze Returns is a fast swordsmanship.
And if you want to blast open the Ten Flowers God's Gate, you need to rely on attack power.
That is to say, the understanding of Spring Breeze Returning made Lu Qingshan's combat power increase a lot, but it didn't help him break the Yuanli Divine Gate.
"Just now, I have made great progress in swordsmanship. It is not easy to make a breakthrough in a short period of time." Sword Immortal said.
What he meant was that it might be difficult for Lu Qingshan to be promoted to God Transformation in a short period of time.
"Difficult things, difficult things, wind and rain things, world things, in the end, it's just a matter of a sword," Lu Qingshan laughed at this question, "Since I hold a sword in my hand, how can I be afraid of a Yuanli Divine Gate?"
Li Qiubai squinted at Lu Qingshan, paused for a moment, and slowly praised: "There is no regret in the sword, and there is no regret in the sword. Lu boy, just because you have this kind of heart, your future achievements will not be low."
"Senior, did you really have no regrets?" Regarding this remark, Lu Qingshan asked curiously.
"Good question!" Li Qiubai laughed loudly, and then said: "Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, so how can it be possible to be worthy?
I have many things to be ashamed of, but as soon as I recognize them, I feel unhappy, so I simply deny them all. "
"As for having no regrets," Li Qiubai paused, and said softly, "Boy, you have to understand that if there are no regrets in life, then what a pity it would be."
There was a strange look in Lu Qingshan's eyes, and he was speechless for a long time.
In Lu Qingshan's opinion, the principles taught by Li Qiubai are not even worse than the one-finger he showed earlier.
"Boy, since you can get an epiphany from my finger, it means that you are a person with roots of wisdom.
Now that you are concentrating on studying swordsmanship, then you can just follow me on this trip to the Sword Tomb.
When you get used to my sword intent and moves, you will have your spirit, and you will see its meaning. "
"Senior, do you know me?" Lu Qingshan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Even willing to teach me such a superior swordsmanship."
Li Qiubai's attitude towards him was obviously too good.
For a sword cultivator he doesn't know, Li Qiubai has no reason to do this with his status.
He didn't think that he had any domineering aura, and he won the favor of Sword Immortal all at once.
Everything happened for a reason.
"Xiao Xiao told me your name." Li Qiubai raised his head and glanced at Lu Qingshan again.
"It's her?!" Lu Qingshan was astonished.
Xia Zhao, he had only heard her name, but he didn't know her at all, and he had never even met her.
Under such circumstances, why did Xia Zhao, who is the Supreme Master of Xia, talk about her name with Li Qiubai?
Lu Qingshan couldn't understand.
"That girl Xia Daoyun is very satisfied with you, and she mentioned you to Xiao Xiao several times, so Xiao Xiao noticed you." Li Qiubai said in a very flat tone.
"After learning about you, she is very optimistic about you and thinks that you may become the future monk of the human race."
"Since she is so optimistic about you, and I just happened to meet you again, I can give you a little trick or two, and that's all."
I see……
After all, it was because there was someone behind him.
It was only then that Lu Qingshan realized that in terms of background and backing alone, few of the human race seemed to be able to match him.
After all, his master is Xia Daoyun, that top female swordsman with eyebrows like distant mountains.
"Senior, which one is stronger, the sword intent or the sword move?" Lu Qingshan couldn't help but wonder again.
This was a question that players had been arguing about in the previous life, but unfortunately, there was no definite answer to this question before he came to this world.
Lu Qingshan originally thought that this Chang'an Sword Immortal, who is the most powerful swordsman in the contemporary era, would give him an affirmative answer with the strongest swordsmanship.
But the truth is different from what he thought.
"If I am willing to use the sword style, then the sword style is the strongest. If I want to kill with the sword will, I will naturally be the only sword will." Li Qiubai raised his eyes and said indifferently.
……mad!
"So senior should prefer sword intent." After getting an unexpected but reasonable answer, Lu Qingshan had no choice but to answer the question, and asked another nonsense.
Li Qiubai is the most powerful swordsman in the world. Could it be that he prefers sword moves?
Who would have thought that the Sword Immortal shook his head unexpectedly at this time: "No, it's just that I have been practicing sword moves for the first half of my life, so later on, I thought about changing tricks, so I turned to the sword. .”
"There is no such thing as which one you prefer."
