Chapter 421 It Is Better to Take the Straight Path than to Seek the Crooked Path. The Current Situation of Sword Cultivators From the Prison Sword Sect

At the junction of the Nine Realms and the Ancient Realm.

Lu Chen looked at the corpse that suddenly appeared in the boundless void, and naturally understood that this was not an accident, but the result of someone deliberately doing it.

Especially when he sensed the terrifying sword intent contained in this corpse.

Lu Chen even vaguely understood the origin of this corpse.

If his guess is correct, this corpse is the only and last sword corpse in the Nine Realms.

By now, Lu Chen had already figured out the relationship between Gu Yi and Tiandao.

There is no sword in the nine realms. Is this because there is no great way to sword in the nine realms?

Not really.

And since there is a way to the sword, why is there no inheritance of sword cultivation in the Nine Realms?

When all impossibilities are removed, the remaining possibilities, no matter how shocking, no matter how unbelievable.

Those are the only truths.

The reason why there are no sword cultivators in the Nine Realms is not because there are no sword cultivators in the Nine Realms.

On the contrary, there are swords in the Nine Realms.

Because only when a certain ancient man occupies a certain avenue can the emergence of latecomers be prevented.

Therefore, the truth behind the Nine Realms' No Sword Cultivator is that the only sword cultivator in the Nine Realms does not obey the discipline of the Nine Realms' Heavenly Way.

He would rather bear the attack of the Nine Realms of Heaven, but also forcefully occupy this position, and prevent the Nine Realms of Heaven from swallowing up this avenue of swords.

Only in this way can we explain why there is still no orthodox sword cultivator among the three sects of the Nine Realms.

All can only take some similar side paths.

And the 'Corpse' that appeared in front of Lu Chen was undoubtedly the legendary last swordsman in the Nine Realms.

Although I don't know what happened to this person.

But looking at the other party's severed limbs and the body covered with chains.

Lu Chen understood that the other party must have paid a very heavy price in order to protect the purity of the Avenue of Swords.

On this small continent-like corpse, Lu Chen could clearly see many buildings, as well as a large number of mortals and monks.

There is no doubt that this swordman's sacrifice was not meaningless.

He used his body and true spirit at the cost of allowing the sword cultivation inheritance of the Nine Realms to be free from the pollution of the Heavenly Way of the Nine Realms, and it has been passed down to this day.

They are the real bones of the people of the past, paving the way for future generations.

Just as Lu Chen was thinking about the large amount of information revealed by this corpse.

A guiding light came from the corpse.

Look at the guiding light.

Lu Chen, who was standing on top of the strange bird He, directly controlled He to follow the direction of the spiritual light and move towards the corpse.

Prison sword gate, reception platform.

At this time, the reception platform was filled with monks from Prison Sword Sect.

Among them, fifteen of the thirty-six heavenly swords came, and a full two-thirds of the seventy-two earthly swords came.

It can be said to be a bustling crowd.

Just looking at their faces as if facing a formidable enemy, they were obviously very afraid of the sword cultivator who would appear on the reception platform next.

Although Tiankui's explanation was that the other party was not in too much danger.

But even so, they didn't dare to completely believe it.

After all, over the years, Prisoner Sword Sect has suffered a lot from the three sects of the Nine Realms.

Faced with the danger of extinction many times.

If they weren't careful enough.

None of them would have survived until now.

It has long been wiped out by the three sects of the Nine Realms.

Amid everyone's nervous expressions, a figure slowly walked out of the light pillar of the reception platform.

"Array up!"

After hearing Elder Tianmeng's words, the surrounding swordsmen immediately formed their sword formations and began to prepare.

But when they saw the figure walking out of the receiving light pillar, everyone was stunned.

Because that person's appearance was so normal.

It was so normal that they couldn't believe that this could be a person from the Nine Realms.

After all, there is an unwritten consensus among the Nine Realms.

That is, the higher the level of cultivation, the more like a ‘佡人’ in appearance.

If these words were placed in the world of cultivating immortals, they would naturally be good words.

But when placed in the Nine Realms, these words are a bit meaningful.

After all, the more resembling a monk is, the less human he is.

Even in the Black Lotus Sect, which is the most superficial among the three sects, the appearance of the senior practitioners in the sect is more or less different from ordinary people.

Not only did Lu Chen's appearance look normal, but his sword intent was extremely terrifying.

Almost as soon as he stepped out of the light beam, everyone around him felt a vast and majestic sword intent.

This sword intent was so strong that it even made the ‘佡剑’ in their hands tremble spontaneously.

It's not fear, it's excitement.

I was so excited that I wanted to have a pure sword collision with this monstrous sword intent.

Translated, those swordsmen were all eager to slash Lu Chen hard or be slashed by the opponent.

The emotions of the swords in their hands naturally affected their respective masters.

Therefore, the sword cultivators appearing on the reception platform now.

Except for a small number of Heavenly Swords who can fully control the Gang Sword, the remaining Earth Swords all have painful expressions.

Reason tells them that they must not take action easily now, especially when they are not sure whether the other party is a friend or an enemy.

But the strong fighting spirit of the sword in their hands drove them to draw the sword quickly.

This contradictory feeling makes them very painful.

When Lu Chen saw this scene, he immediately understood what happened.

This immediately made him reveal a rare and interesting smile.

They are really a bunch of pure guys...

Under the solemn eyes of everyone, Lu Chen pointed his right hands together and slowly raised them.

It was obvious that he had no sword in his hand, and there was no power fluctuation around his body.

But in the eyes of the sword cultivator from Prison Sword Sect, they seemed to see a huge sky-holding giant sword appearing above everyone's heads.

The sword was so big that everyone felt like they were looking at the mayfly in the sky, unable to resist at all.

As Lu Chen's fingers fell.

The sky-holding giant sword was also chopped down together.

The surrounding Prison Sword Sect monks didn't even have the ability to resist at all during this process.

However, when the sky-lifting sword struck everyone, no one felt any discomfort.

Gein's sky-lifting sword was an illusion created by Lu Chen's sword intent.

Intentional, intangible.

After reacting, everyone in the Prison Sword Sect, including more than a dozen Heavenly Swordsmen, found that they were already sweating profusely.

And the swords that were originally restless in their hands all calmed down.

After all, if your opponent is only slightly ahead of you, then you may still have the idea of ​​catching up or even competing with them.

But when your opponent is far ahead of you and you realize that there is no hope of catching up.

The only remaining emotion is admiration, and even... endless worship.

"Okay, okay, what a very strong and fierce sword. Fellow Taoist, this sword has won my heart, it has won my heart!"

"This is what sword cultivators like us should do. If we don't draw the sword, it will be fine. Once we draw it, we will be fierce and invincible, and we will move forward indomitably!"

Tianmeng, who was the first to wake up, recalled the sword shot to the sky just now.

As if I saw something in it, I couldn't help but feel crazy and happy.

However, his words did not receive recognition, but instead received many refutations.

"What a fierce sword? It's clearly an elegant sword. What can you, a vulgar guy, understand? It's a joke!"

"No, no, no, that should be the Sword of Change. Its sword looks ordinary, but it is unpredictable."

"No, that's obviously..."

"What you said is wrong, what I said is right."

Concerning what the sword intention contained in Lu Chen's sword actually represented, many prisoners of the Sword Sect Tianjian started arguing on the spot.

Look at how they argue and refuse to give in.

It seems that they are all convinced that the thoughts in their hearts are the real answers.

And since you can't convince the other party with words, there's nothing more to say, just draw your sword.

Sword cultivators prefer to use the sword in their hands instead of talking about Tao with words.

Fortunately, there are no irrational people among Heavenly Sword.

Looking at the few Heavenly Swordsmen next to them who seemed to be about to roll up their sleeves and fight with their fellow disciples around them.

Tian Kui immediately scolded: "What are you doing! Didn't you see any distinguished guests coming to the door? Please be patient!"

After hearing Tian Kui's words, several of the Prison Sword Sect Tianjian who had already drawn their swords and were preparing to take action reacted immediately.

Yes, is this the time to draw swords and talk about Tao?

It’s better to receive the distinguished guests in front of you first.

As for whether Lu Chen is an enemy or a friend.

There is no longer any doubt in the hearts of the Heavenly Swordsmen.

Because those guys from the three sects of the Nine Realms cannot cultivate such pure sword intent.

It can be said that Lu Chen showed off his sword intention.

Better than any words.

"Fellow Taoist, I made you laugh."

"Don't get me wrong, they are not like this usually. It's just that they have been suppressed here for the past hundred years, so they are a little reckless. Please forgive me."

Looking at Tian Kui who was humble and polite, Lu Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I think this scene is very interesting."

"After all, I have rarely seen so many pure seekers of the Tao during my journey here."

"I think your life in these nine realms should not be easy."

"After all, the world is turbid, and the remaining sane people are undoubtedly variables and aliens, aren't they?"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Tian Kui smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the old man Sword Ancestor who died with his sword, we might have become like those guys outside, turning into human beings and ghosts. ”

"Fellow Taoist, please come with me. I know you have many doubts in your heart, and I also have many confusions in my heart that I want to seek answers from."

"This is not the place to talk right now. It would be better for us to change to a private room."

Lu Chen nodded and agreed to Tiankui's request.

Under the leadership of the other party, Lu Chen quickly penetrated deep into the prison sword gate.

Along the way, Lu Chen also observed the layout of the entire 'Corpse Continent'.

Although this place is under the jurisdiction of Prisoner Sword Sect, the most people here are not sword cultivators like the Heavenly Sword and Earth Sword in front of them.

On the contrary, they are ordinary people.

It can even be said that the sword cultivators of the Prison Sword Sect only occupy a very small part of the entire 'Corpse Continent'.

After all, according to Lu Chen's perception, the number of sword cultivators in Prison Sword Sect was surprisingly small.

Thirty-six Yuan Ying stage sword cultivators, seventy-two Golden Core stage sword cultivators, and more than a hundred Foundation Establishment stage sword cultivators.

These are all the disciples in Prison Sword Sect.

Although there are also sporadic sword cultivators among the mortals outside Prison Sword Sect.

But those sword cultivators generally only have the Qi training period.

Not to mention comprehending the meaning of the sword.

Their understanding of swords may still be at the most superficial level.

But Lu Chen also noticed something interesting.

That is the sword cultivators in Prison Sword Sect. Generally speaking, their sword intent is one level higher than that of sword cultivators at the same level.

For example, one-fifth of the more than one hundred sword cultivators in the foundation-building period have understood the existence of the sword intention of entering the Tao.

And each of the seventy-two golden elixir stage sword cultivators has understood the sword intention of the Hedao realm.

Of the remaining thirty-six Nascent Soul stage sword cultivators, five have comprehended the sword intention of the Transformation Dao stage.

Tian Kui, who led the way for Lu Chen, was one of the five sword cultivators who had understood the sword intention of the Dao Transformation Realm.

Such a proportion is undoubtedly very amazing.

This shows that the sword cultivators of Prison Sword Sect have amazing talents.

Either they are too focused on their thoughts and not on their cultivation.

Or maybe it's both.

Although Tiankui was blind, he still seemed to be able to detect some changes in Lu Chen.

Then he said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, don't be surprised. All the sword cultivators in our Prison Sword Sect major in Heart Sword."

"Therefore, the sword intention is generally much higher than that of the sword cultivator at the same time. After all, if this were not the case, we would not be able to resist the assimilation from heaven, and we would have become zombie-like sword slaves long ago."

"Becoming a sword slave..."

Tiankui's words reminded Lu Chen of a relatively distant memory.

When he was still in the Qi training stage, he once encountered a heretic sword slave in the copy of Hidden Sword Peak.

At that time, his cultivation was still shallow and he did not know the nature of these sword slaves.

He only thought that it was the Hidden Sword Peak Spirit Sword that had given birth to spiritual wisdom under the influence of the years, thus polluting the original Hidden Sword Peak sword cultivator's corpse.

But now it seems that things are not that simple.

The reason why those disciples of Qingyun Sect's Hidden Sword Peak became sword slaves.

Perhaps it is mainly related to the distortion of heaven in the Nine Realms.

Tian Kui, who was walking in front, also noticed Lu Chen's thinking look, so he asked curiously: "Fellow Taoist, have you ever met a sword slave outside?"

After Lu Chen thought for a moment, he replied: "I did encounter some similar existences."

Tian Kui looked surprised, and then said: "That fellow Taoist has indeed rich experience. After all, I have never encountered a sword slave except in this Prison Sword Sect."

"After all, if you want to become a sword slave, you must at least have the sword intention to enter the Tao."

"Although the Sword Ancestor's physical body is dead, his true spirit has always been sealed in the Prison Sword Gate, occupying the nine worlds of swordsmanship."

"Without the permission of the Sword Ancestor, no one in the Nine Realms can enter the Tao with the sword, and naturally they will not be able to become a sword slave."

"It seems that you, fellow Taoist, are not from the Nine Realms."

Regarding Tian Kui's temptation, Lu Chen had no intention of hiding it.

After all, at his current state, he has nothing to be afraid of except existences at the level of Ji Ren.

So he nodded and admitted directly: "Well, my feet are indeed not in the Nine Realms."

Tiankui suddenly said: "No wonder fellow Taoist can cultivate such sword intent. It seems that the way of heaven in the place where fellow daoist is located has not been corrupted by karma. It is really enviable..."

Lu Chen keenly grasped some key information from these words and asked: "Could the karma corruption mentioned by fellow Taoist be the source of the changes in the nine realms?"

Tiankui nodded and led him to the peak at the core of Prison Sword Gate.

And this mountain peak was not what Lu Chen saw from the junction at that time, it was the hilt of the huge sword inserted into the corpse.

However, the middle area of ​​the sword hilt was artificially hollowed out by everyone in the Prison Sword Sect to create a special cave.

And this cave is called... Suo Jian Yuan.

"Alright fellow Taoist, we're here."

"This Sword Abyss is the most critical place for me to imprison the Sword Sect."

"The answers you want are all here."
