Chapter 1 The Sword Sect in the Lu Qingshan Era

"I thought you would never come back in this life," Li Shiyi said mid-sentence, then waved his hand, "Ah, sit down first."

He motioned for the two of them to sit down, but Ji Chuan and Qiu Shiyin did not move.

"Sit down and talk." Lu Qingshan chuckled and took the initiative to end the situation.

Ji Chuan hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to remember something. Then he put away the gift and took his wife to sit down, but he was still cautious.

"The peach blossoms you planted back then are growing better and better now, and the wine you brew is getting more and more flavorful. I really like it."

Li Shiyi didn't seem to be at all curious about Ji Chuan's experience in the past twenty years. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of wine for each of them.

Ji Chuan smiled knowingly, and the memories of Haoran Peak suddenly came to mind.

He didn't refuse, raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Qiu Shiyin on the side followed Ji Chuan and raised the wine glass to take a cautious sip, and then his eyes shone slightly.

Obviously, what Li Shiyi said about "tasteful" is indeed true.

With a smile on his face, Li Shiyi looked at Qiu Shiyin, who was beside Ji Chuan and never dared to raise his head to look at him. After looking at it for a long time, he said softly: "It's pretty good."

Qiu Shiyin, who had been holding on to Li Shiyi's gaze, immediately relaxed a lot after hearing these words.

"It's so far away, isn't it easy to come back?" Li Shiyi asked again leisurely.

Lu Qingshan was actually also curious about this issue.

Returning from two different worlds is not an easy thing even for him.

This is under the premise that he possesses the two treasures of Longque and Huangquan Kantu.

So how did Ji Chuan do it?

Here Ji Chuan already smiled bitterly and replied: "Yes, it is not easy, otherwise it would not have been delayed for a whole five hundred years, and even failed to catch up with the Battle of Zhongling."

Ji Chuan gave a brief introduction to Dahuang's life-cultivation system and Qiu Shiyin's destiny. "If it weren't for good luck for Shiyin to awaken the destiny of tracing her origins, I'm afraid that if I want to come back, five hundred years may not be enough."

"Five hundred years of changes, the Sword Sect has changed a lot. The young junior brother who just joined the Sect back then is already in charge of the Sword Sect in the blink of an eye." Speaking of this, Ji Chuan sighed with emotion, "In another five hundred years, things will change. I don’t dare to think what it will be like.”

However, he found that the two people present were looking at him with strange eyes.

It is normal for the time flow rate to differ between worlds.

Especially since the sky and the wilderness are still so far apart.

It's just that after Ji Chuan returned to Cang Qiong Tian, ​​because he suddenly heard the news of the great changes in the Jian Sect, he was anxious and didn't pay special attention to Cang Qiong Tian's era name.

Moreover, in his opinion, Lu Qingshan has grown from the junior junior to the current master of the Sword Sect. Even if there is a difference in the speed of time between the two worlds, no matter what, hundreds of years should have passed in the sky.

This is Ji Chuan's conclusion based on common sense, and a wrong conclusion based on Lu Qingshan's ridiculous growth rate.

"Five hundred years." Li Shiyi calculated in his mind and said, "It seems that the time flow rate in the wilderness is about twenty times that of ours."

"No wonder your aura has become so strong after not seeing you for so many years. Your entry speed is as fast as that of the sect master."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Chuan felt as if he was struck by lightning. He realized the meaning of Li Shiyi's words and immediately asked in disbelief: "What is the current reign name."

"In the twenty-seventh year of Tianyuan," Lu Qingshan also poured a glass of wine for Ji Chuan, then raised the glass and said to Ji Chuan: "Welcome back."

"The twenty-seventh year of Tianyuan." Ji Chuan subconsciously raised his wine glass in reply to Lu Qingshan, still murmuring in his heart.

In the twenty-seventh year of Tianyuan, many things happened at Yumen Pass.

In fact, at this point in time, in a place like Yumen Pass, if something happens, it's not a big deal, but if nothing happens, it's a big deal.

But among so many big and small things, there is one thing that cannot be ignored.

In the battle of Zhongling, the Sword Sect lost its three main peak masters, and a new peak master emerged.

Desolate Sword Peak—Jichuan!

For many Yumenguan monks, this is a very unfamiliar name, but this does not matter.

Importantly, this means that even after the Zhongling Battle and the loss of Qingyun Sword Immortal, the Sword Sect will not fall and is recovering.

For the Eastern Region and Yumen Pass, the Sword Sect is a flag. As long as this flag does not fall, their faith will remain firm.

The status of the master of the main peak is very important in the Sword Sect, and it is extremely special, not just a title.

You know, even Xie Qingyun has always been the main peak master of Jianzong.

And Lu Qingshan, although he is now the master of the Sword Sect, he is not the master of the main peak.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have this ability, but normally, Lu Qingshan's "promotion" route should be to be the master of the peak first and then the master of the Sword Sect.

But due to the sudden battle of Zhongling and the death of Xie Qingyun, Lu Qingshan was promoted to the position of the sect leader when he was only in the seventh realm - and except for the special case of Li Shiyi, the main peak master of the Sword Sect has always had to cross It belongs to the cultivator of the Tribulation Realm.

The master of the main peak of the Sword Sect shoulders the important responsibility of preaching. In theory, all the monks of the Sword Sect come from the major peaks.

The main peak rises, the sword sect rises, it's nothing more than this.

Due to the small number of people in the Sword Sect, the overall structure is also different from other Taoist sects.

In the Sword Sect, there is no so-called elder, the sect leader is the absolute person in charge.

Apart from the sect leader, the master of the main peak has the most authority. All major decisions within the sect are made through discussions between the sect master and the masters of the main peak.

Under this premise, the position of the main peak leader becomes extremely important and cannot be given without permission.

The reason why Ji Chuan is qualified to ascend to this position is that he has the strength.

After five hundred years of practice in the wilderness, Ji Chuan already possesses the strength of the main peak master, but even Lu Qingshan cannot give a definite estimate of the specific combat strength at the moment.

Because the path Ji Chuan is taking now is an unprecedented new system.

Wild sword flow.

The root of the Wild Sword Style is the life-cultivation system of the Great Wilderness, so the measurement of cultivation is completely different from the human cultivation system.

Ji Chuan's current level of cultivation is called - Infinite in the wilderness.

The immeasurable realm is roughly equivalent to the monk's realm of transcending tribulations, but it is not as detailed as the realm of transcending tribulations, which is divided into one to nine tribulations. There is only one big realm division of immeasurable.

——This is also in line with Dahuang’s rough temperament.

This is also the second reason why Ji Chuan can become the master of the main peak of the Sword Sect.

He developed a new swordsmanship system just like his master Li Shiyi developed Haoran Swordsmanship.

And the existence of the Desolate Sword Sect also proves that this practice system is no accident, but a complete system that can be called inheritance.

Based on these two points, Ji Chuan's position as the master of the main peak is natural.

Even though the current situation is tense, the Sword Sect's new main peak master still receives enough attention.

As long as there is a sect in the Eastern Territory that feels that it is of high quality, there will be no one who does not congratulate and send gifts.

Even in the other six regions, Dao Sect and some top sects also sent their personnel to send congratulatory gifts from thousands of miles away.

Qingshan Palace.

Logically speaking, the ceremony of conferring the title of Peak Master should be done in the Sword Sect, but the situation is different now. In addition, sword cultivators are not restricted by complicated etiquette, so they choose to do the ceremony on the spot and keep everything simple.

Lu Qingshan sat on the main seat, wearing the sect leader's uniform.

Except for Xia Daoyun, the peak master of Jianlai Peak, the remaining three peak masters, Haoran Peak Master Li Shiyi, Canghai Peak Master Yu Canghai, and Wu Sheath Peak Master Xue Wushao, are sitting on both sides of Lu Qingshan.

In addition, there were dozens of sword cultivators from the Sword Sect standing on both sides.

Ji Chuan stood in the center, looking at Lu Qingshan, who was wearing a black robe with a dark golden dragon embroidered on the main seat, and for some reason, his eyes began to become trance-like.

His once vague memories became clear in a daze.

He remembered some memories that were five hundred years ago for him, and recalled the days of sword fighting on Qingya Peak.

Those brothers and sisters who had just entered the swordsmanship were communicating together on Qingyaping, and this scene continued for thousands of years.

That was the most beautiful period in Ji Chuan's heart.

Nowadays, the Sword Sect seems to be a little depressed because of the Zhongling War, its popularity has lost a lot, and the lively scene of the past is no longer seen.

Many of the peak masters and masters and uncles he was familiar with will never be seen again. For example, less than half of the seven main peak masters have gone now, and even the old sect master he respected extremely has been buried. In a foreign land.

but

Ji Chuan recovered his thoughts, focused his eyes, and once again fell on his former junior brother, the current master of the Sword Sect, Lu Qingshan.

The stars change, the sun and the moon change, and the mountains and seas change. Isn’t the change of personnel also a common thing?

As long as Jian Zong is still there, everything will be fine.

Lu Qingshan looked around the audience and finally landed on Ji Chuan. He slowly spoke and said in a deep voice:

"Jichuan has been in the Sword Sect for more than five hundred years and practiced swordsmanship for more than five hundred years. By chance, he wandered to another world. After many twists and turns, he was able to return to the Sword Sect, which shows his loyalty to the Sect;

While living in another world, he created a new system of swordsmanship: the Wild Sword Style. Now his cultivation is immeasurable, which shows his profound attainments in swordsmanship. "

"For all the above, I want to promote Ji Chuan as the master of the main peak. The name of the peak is: Desolate Sword Peak. What do you think?"

How can anyone have any objections?

The proposal to promote Ji Chuan to the main peak was passed unanimously and naturally.

The number of peak masters of the Sword Sect's main peak finally experienced an increase after continuously decreasing by three.

Before the war comes.

Without actually taking a trip outside the Yumen Pass, it is difficult to appreciate the majestic artistic conception of the vast plains with stars hanging over the pass, and the surging moon and rivers outside the pass.

Only one day after becoming the peak master of Desolate Sword Peak, Ji Chuan quietly accompanied Lu Qingshan out of Yumen Pass.

The two of them were silent all the way until they reached deep into the plain, and Lu Qingshan stopped.

The land outside the pass is very barren. Even during the spring equinox, the ground is still covered with withered grass.

"The land outside the Pass is so vast, but it is very suitable for us sword cultivators to fight." Lu Qingshan said calmly as he surveyed the endless plains outside the Pass.

Fa Xiu is a natural expert in positional warfare, so he is very good at guarding the gates.

Sword cultivators are good at fighting in the wild. The more space they are given to maneuver vertically and horizontally, the greater the combat power they can exert.

Defending the city at Yumen Pass, it cannot be said that it is difficult to perform well. After all, the flying sword is equivalent to a long-range spell, but after all, it does not have the feeling of "all in one go".

To be precise, it should be that it is impossible to maximize the advantages of sword cultivation.

"Does the sect master want to open a new front outside the pass?" Ji Chuan immediately looked at Lu Qingshan and understood what Lu Qingshan meant.

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

"A very bold idea," Ji Chuan thought for a moment and then praised, "It's worthy of you."

When there was obviously a big gap in the overall strength between the human race and the demon race, what Lu Qingshan thought about was not how to occupy the favorable location and defend Yumen Pass, but to take the initiative to leave the pass and open a new front.

This idea was not just bold, it was downright crazy.

It seemed like hitting an egg against a stone, but Ji Chuan knew there was something feasible.

However, the risks are also very high, and making this decision requires the courage of the decision-maker.

One soldier is raging, and the general is raging in a nest.

The ability and character of the leader often determine the ability and style of an army.

The same is true for the sect.

The sword sect in Xie Qingyun's era was strict and disciplined.

What will happen to the Sword Sect in the Lu Qingshan era?

This is a master swordsman who has achieved more than his five hundred years of achievements in just twenty years.

Ji Chuan thought as he looked at Lu Qingshan in trance.

Here, Lu Qingshan said softly: "Being passively beaten will always be a dead end."

If we choose to hide all the Yumen Pass monks in Yumen Pass, there is no doubt that the location is advantageous, and it is indeed a good choice to use the city to defend against powerful enemies.

The problem is that this is tantamount to giving all the initiative on the battlefield to the demons.

Whether to fight or retreat, when to fight, how big the scale is, and how many days to fight. Everything can only be decided by the demons, and the humans can only passively fight.

If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. This is an eternal truth.

If you defend, you can at best be undefeated, but you can never win.

"Arrange manpower to lurk outside the pass. If the demons attack the city, the manpower lurking outside the pass will be able to create an arc, insert themselves directly into the back of the demons, and attack the city. They will capture the city but not defend it. All they want is to create chaos for them." Lu Qingshan already had a strategy in mind.

Facing the enemy with inferior troops, through long-distance raids and large transfers, the inferior side can gain a crushing combat power advantage over the enemy on the local battlefield, allowing the demons to worry about one thing at the expense of the other.

"Since then, we also have the initiative, although it is only a thin line."

But as long as a glimmer of initiative is created, there is a glimmer of chance of victory.

Lu Qingshan suddenly turned to look at Ji Chuan and asked: "If the three demons take action, with the help of Yumenguan's favorable location, how long are you confident that you can last under the three demons?"

Ji Chuan said without hesitation: "Five days, if necessary, it can be eight days."

If necessary, I can take my life.

"Five days." Lu Qingshan thought about it in his mind, and then said: "Okay, if that moment comes, you will need to take action."

Ji Chuan's eyes flashed with light, and he suddenly realized, "Sect Master, are you going to be the one who comes out of seclusion?"

Lu Qingshan smiled and said: "The stronger the people who leave seclusion are, the more comprehensive their abilities are, the better."

"Looking at it this way, the most suitable person is me."

Fighting behind enemy lines is equivalent to "special forces". The more versatile they are, the better they can deal with chaotic situations.

And among sword cultivators, who is more versatile than Lu Qingshan?

Hidden, long-range strike, group attack, extreme speed, tracking, destructive power

With the blessing of a body of skills and six natal swords, Lu Qingshan's abilities are so complex and comprehensive that no sword cultivator has ever had.
