Chapter 595: The Name of a Person and the Shadow of a Tree (Two Chapters in One, Thank You Everyone)

Xiandu World.

"The White Jade Capital in the sky, five floors and twelve cities. The closest scene to this poem that came from nowhere is the Baocheng Sect Cave Heaven." A ethereal and lofty Tianjun sighed as he looked at the magnificent and magnificent city that seemed to be in the nine layers of Gangqi.

It seemed to be made of Gengjin, Taiyi Zhenjin, Western Jinjing and other materials, flashing with sharp cold light, but surrounded by pale white clouds, it added a lot of fairyland, plus the towering buildings, pavilions, halls, palaces, etc. inside, it really has a sense of five floors and twelve cities.

The second-tribulation Yang God disciple of the Heavenly Lord was also fascinated: "And this is only the part that is exposed to the outside. In fact, only after entering the city gate can you see the cave heaven of its own world, which is a million miles in radius. Master, I heard that the welcoming ceremony of the Baocheng Sect is unique, which is both solemn and respectful, and also demonstrates its own strength."

"Haha, Master, I heard about it from Master Ye, and I will be able to see it with my own eyes later." Master Daoming smiled slightly. He came to visit his friend, the first-tribulation Heavenly Lord Ye Piaoling of the Baocheng Sect.

As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the huge city gate. The sharp sword energy was surging in the air, but it miraculously did not hurt the flesh and soul.

Several Yin God Venerables and Golden Pill Grandmasters stood in the tall and large doorway, with two rows of disciples behind them, extending to the blue sky and white clouds outside the doorway that was hundreds of feet long. They all wore plain white Taoist robes, their backs were straight, and each held a ritual flying sword made of Gengjin in their hands.

A tall and majestic Yin God came forward and asked respectfully, "Liang Liuyu from Baocheng Sect greets the True Lord. May I know your name and what brings you here?"

"I am Daoming, invited by the True Lord Ye Piaoling of your sect to be your guest." True Lord Daoming replied gently.

Liang Liuyu was silent for a moment, and after confirming that everything was correct, he smiled and said, "Master Daoming, please follow me into the city."

Master Daoming brought several of his own disciples and walked into the doorway under the guidance of Liang Liuyu. At this time, Liang Liuyu shouted, "Welcome Master Daoming!"

Hundreds of disciples on both sides raised the Gengjin Ritual Flying Sword with one hand and shouted, "Welcome Master Daoming!"

Obviously, except for the better materials, it was just an ordinary ritual flying sword, but at this moment, these hundreds of flying swords simultaneously released dazzling sword light, and the sword energy in the air seemed to be stimulated, clanging, and the sword intent suddenly surged, and it was actually connected with the sharp avenue true meaning in the Three Tribulations Heavenly Lord's cave!

In front of Daoming Zhenjun, there seemed to be a scene of thousands of swords standing on both sides, emitting a solemn and cold light. It was the most solemn ceremony of the sword cultivation sect handed down from ancient times to welcome guests, the "Ten Thousand Swords Welcoming Ceremony". It was extremely respectful, but different from the ordinary "Ten Thousand Swords Welcoming Ceremony" because it stimulated the sharpness of the cave heaven, making Daoming Zhenjun's mind seem to be ravaged by sword energy. Although it did not hurt his heart, it was extremely shocking, making people intuitively feel the powerful strength of Baocheng Sect.

Facing the pressure of the true meaning of the cave heaven of Sanjie Tianjun without any malice, Daoming Zhenjun could not directly create an illusory avenue, so he could only operate his soul, calm his mind, quietly protect several disciples who were somewhat shaken, and calmly followed Liang Liuyu through the long city gate and entered Baocheng Sect.

When they left far away, hundreds of disciples from the two sects put down the ritual flying swords and laughed and talked.

"See? Even a person of the Heavenly Lord level has to change his face when facing the 'Ten Thousand Swords Welcoming Ceremony' of our Baocheng Sect." Fu Yuanxiao said with a smile to his junior brother Zhou Yong and junior sister Luo Yun, who were participating in the gatekeeping mission for the first time. He could not hide the pride, arrogance, confidence and sharpness in his expression. This was due to his identity as a disciple of a super-large sect and a kind of illusory strength.

Luo Yun nodded excitedly: "The faces of those Yangshen Zhenren just now turned pale." Seeing that the people who were usually high and mighty and enjoyed immortality behaved like this under the strength of their own sect, a little bit of the arrogance and confidence of the disciples of the super-large sect grew and grew in his heart.

Although Zhou Yong did not speak, judging from his expression, what he thought in his heart was probably the same as Luo Yun.

…………

After a while, another team of disciples came to replace them.

"Brother Fu, where are we going?" The charming Luo Yun wanted to make friends with the powerful senior brother in front of him, so she deliberately asked, and Zhou Yong nodded in agreement.

Fu Yuanxiao looked at them in surprise: "Don't you know? Today is the once-in-a-century sermon of Xuan Zushi. I finally managed to spare some time. If I hadn't achieved the Golden Elixir, I might only be able to hear it once or twice in my life!"

"Really?! We just came out of seclusion and didn't know about this!" Zhou Yong and Luo Yun were shocked.

Fu Yuanxiao said with a smile: "Such a big thing, can it be a lie? Didn't you see that the faces of the fellow disciples who came to replace us just now were as if their parents had died? Okay, come with me."

The three of them went together and soon arrived at the Chongxiao Tower where the preaching hall was located. There were already crowds of people inside, and it was hard to count how many disciples there were. Fortunately, the Chongxiao Tower was several hundred feet in radius, very wide, and not crowded, so the three of them could find a place to sit and wait.

Not long after, the sound of swords rang out, and all the disciples stood up: "Welcome to Master Xuan to preach."

A blue-robed monk came out. He looked only about twenty years old, but his eyes were clear and deep, like an innocent child and a wise old man. It was Xuan Jingfeng, the First Tribulation Heavenly Monarch of Baocheng Sect. He nodded to signal his disciples to sit down, then sat cross-legged on the Taoist platform. Without a long-winded opening speech, he directly talked about Taoism, swordsmanship, etc.

Fu Yuanxiao and others listened in a daze, unaware that time was passing. Suddenly, they heard Xuan Jingfeng say calmly: "This is the end of today's sermon." They were immediately disappointed.

However, Xuan Jingfeng added: "Although our Baocheng Sect's swordsmanship is powerful, there are countless magical and mysterious skills in the heavens and all the worlds and trillions of worlds. There are also many supreme swordsmanships. We must not be arrogant. As everyone knows, it is very possible that a monk whose level is lower than yours and whose background is not as good as yours can defeat you with his sword skills."

Fu Yuanxiao, Luo Yun and other disciples looked at each other, and they all saw in each other's eyes the meaning of "how is it possible", "completely unbelievable", etc. Their background and level were not as good as their own, so it would be nothing to say that they could win with treasures. , but based on swordsmanship alone, what kind of joke is the founder kidding? !

Seeing the disciples whispering to each other, there was a little commotion and disbelief, Xuan Jingfeng said with a smile but not a smile: "Many of the disciples here must have heard of it before. When you were in Yu Yutian hundreds of years ago, you, Patriarch Shen, was taught by a The Heavenly Lord, who is not as good as her and whose realm is not as good as hers, defeated her with his sword skills.”

"Shi Xuan." Voices sounded one after another, containing a bit of fear. Over the past few hundred years, the sect has kept telling this matter over and over again. Those with a little more seniority all started from the master, the ancestor, and even many who have now The deceased seniors had heard about it and remembered it vividly, which can be said to be passed down from generation to generation.

In the sect, Patriarch Shen, whose strength is second only to Patriarch Ren, who is famous for his challenges beyond the ranks, and whose swordsmanship is unparalleled, was actually defeated by an ordinary heavenly king with swordsmanship who was not as good as her in terms of realm and background. How terrifying his strength must be, and how powerful his swordsmanship must be. If he survives one or two calamities, wouldn't he be able to come directly to the door and destroy the Baocheng Sect?

At the beginning, most of the disciples were just amazed at Shi Xuan's strength. However, as the sect continued to remind them for hundreds of years, and as generations of disciples exaggerated and exaggerated, they gradually developed a feeling for Shi Xuan. The fear in my heart, every time I hear this name, the pride and arrogance in my heart will weaken a bit.

Xuan Jingfeng slowly stood up and said with a smile: "So, we sword cultivators must not be afraid, but must have the will and energy to cut through all difficulties, and we must not be arrogant, complacent, or full of arrogance. In other words, people You can’t be arrogant, but you can’t be arrogant. I hope you will remember what I said today.”

"Disciple, I obey." All the disciples stood up and greeted Xuan Jingfeng respectfully.

…………

In the main hall not far away, Ye Piaoling and Daoming Zhenjun, who were dressed in white, slender and casual, were chatting and listening to Xuan Jingfeng's sermon.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I'm a little confused. Why do you keep mentioning Shi Xuan's defeat of Shen Zhenjun? Did he really defeat Shen Zhenjun?" Zhenjun Dao Ming asked with some confusion and surprise.

Ye Piaoling smiled and said: "It has just been a hundred thousand years since our sect was established, and it has flourished more than ten thousand years after Patriarch Ren survived the second decline of heaven and man. Therefore, compared with those sects whose inheritance can last for millions of years, although They are both super sects, but their disciple training is very different. In addition, their own characteristics of sword cultivation make them all feel arrogant and think that the Baocheng sect is invincible in the world and that their own sect is superior to others. The cohesion of the sect is strong, but this kind of mentality is really unacceptable and is a big obstacle to my own practice. "

After listening to Ye Piaoling's words, True Lord Daoming nodded slightly, remembering the emotional changes of the Baocheng Sect disciples when they passed through the door just now.

"Eight hundred years ago, Yimo was indeed defeated by Shi Xuan in Yu Yutian, but there were many factors, such as being injured before, his strength being suppressed, Shi Xuan carrying a calamity of spiritual treasures and flying swords, etc., but overall Generally speaking, this son's swordsmanship is very powerful, which makes Yi Mo admire him a lot," Ye Piaoling continued.

After confirming this news, Daoming Zhenjun and the disciples behind him were extremely horrified. Shen Yimo's reputation in the world of Xiandu was only lower than that of Ren Yunzong, the founder of the Three Tribulations of Baocheng Sect. Especially in the past five or six thousand years, She was unparalleled in the limelight and a symbol of invincibility, but she was defeated by a heavenly king whose strength was lower than hers, relying on swordsmanship. Even if there were many other reasons, it was really hard to believe.

Ye Piaoling himself was a little disbelieving at the time, so he could understand Dao Mingzhenjun's mood, and said directly: "This matter is too typical. After thinking about it, we felt that it met our needs, so we consulted Yimo for his opinion. It has been widely publicized in the sect, hoping to make the disciples sober and dispel their unreasonable arrogance. It seems that the effect is good. "

"The noble sect is really very considerate in cultivating disciples, which I admire very much." Zhenjun Dao Ming praised sincerely, "However, it seems that there are also some bad effects, such as Shi Xuan's unconscious, The fear hidden in my heart usually does not hinder my practice, but once I encounter Shi Xuan, it becomes the source of inner demons."

Ye Piaoling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "An overcorrection must be too much. We let it go, and word of mouth passed down for generations, which made this matter a lot of exaggeration, making the disciples fearful. However, the mental barriers in this area are still broken. It's easy, as long as Shi Xuan survives the first decline of heavenly beings and stabilizes his cultivation, Yi Mo will come to challenge him and defeat him with the same level of cultivation. At that time, the fear will naturally disappear. "

He paused and said, "If Yimo has passed the second decline of the heavenly man during this period, I will go to see the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Technique". Haha, in fact, if I am not at a higher level than him now, I would have gone to compete with him." There was a strong confidence in his laughter. Although he and Xuan Jingfeng were slightly inferior to Shen Yimo, who had made a breakthrough in swordsmanship, they were quite sure to defeat Shi Xuan. Of course, they would not be stupid enough to wait for Shi Xuan to reach the peak of the first catastrophe before challenging him.

"If there is such a day, I would like to observe it." Dao Ming Zhenjun was looking forward to it.

…………

"Brother Fu, is Shi Xuan really that scary?" Luo Yun asked curiously, but she couldn't help but whisper the word Shi Xuan. Many of her ancestors were from Baocheng Sect. She grew up listening to various legends of Baocheng Sect, but the things about Shi Xuan were too exaggerated and unbelievable. They could be used to scare children to stop them from crying at night, so she wanted to hear the real story.

Fu Yuanxiao seemed not to care much and said, "The sect said openly that he defeated Patriarch Shen with the strength of an ordinary Heavenly Lord by relying on his swordsmanship and a flying sword of a calamity spirit treasure. The process was just a few words." But there was also an undetectable fear in his tone.

"How powerful is Patriarch Shen, she was actually defeated by a Heavenly Lord whose realm was lower than hers." Zhou Yong remembered that at the 100,000th anniversary celebration of the sect not long ago, which was congratulated by all the sects, Patriarch Shen relied on a flying sword to discuss swords with 38 sword cultivators of the same level and 17 Taoist immortals with peerless swordsmanship. In less than a cup of tea, she defeated them one by one.

With Zhou Yong's low strength, he only felt that the advantage was huge, which made Patriarch Shen the object of yearning and admiration in the hearts of many disciples. They all felt her strength. "Then what kind of person is Shi Xuan who can defeat her?" Unconsciously, Zhou Yong said the last sentence in his mind, and his arrogance dissipated a lot.

Luo Yun smiled softly and said, "Some say he has a green face and fangs, some say he has three heads and six arms, each holding a flying sword, slashing down everywhere, some say he likes to eat human brains and has cultivated a foul sword energy..." These are the stories she heard when she was frightened by her elders in her childhood.

"In fact, I heard from my master that Shi Xuan practiced the peerless sword technique "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Technique" which can be ranked in the top ten in the heavens and myriad worlds, which is better than our "Tai Yi Guang An Dong Zhen Sword Technique." Fu Yuanxiao showed off his knowledge and envied Shi Xuan in his heart. If his family could also get this level of sword technique, wouldn't they be able to challenge the level above with the spirit treasure flying sword? !

Huh, Luo Yun and Zhou Yong took a breath of cold air, so that's it, but after understanding why Shi Xuan was so powerful, they became more afraid. The fear of the top ten in the heavens and myriad worlds, even Fu Yuanxiao himself felt the same way when he heard it at that time.

"Okay, we have to guard the city gate in a few days, you should go back and rest early." Fu Yuanxiao said happily when he saw his junior brothers and sisters were shocked.

Luo Yun and Zhou Yong thought that they would have another chance to see the fear of those high-ranking figures, so they hurriedly agreed, hoping to meet a few Yangshen Zhenren, and it would be best if there were Tianjun!

…………

A few days later, at the huge city gate of Baocheng Sect.

Hundreds of disciples held the ritual flying swords in their hands and waited quietly, but those who came to visit from time to time were all cultivators below the Yuanshen level, so they did not need to perform grand ceremonies, and even some low-level cultivators did not even need to perform ceremonies.

"Today is so boring." Seeing that it was past noon, Luo Yun said to Yuanxiao in a low voice without interest.

Fu Yuanxiao shook his head and chuckled, "Junior Sister Luo, where can you see so many True Lords and True Men? They are all mysterious characters. Unless you don't practice, don't go out to travel, and stay here all the time, you can only see them once in a year or two."

"If I had known this, I would have applied to go out." Zhou Yong also said with some disappointment.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Luo, Junior Brother Zhou, seeing your disappointed look, I think you miss that feeling very much, so this task of guarding the city gate is so difficult to apply for." Fu Yuanxiao said quite proudly.

Before Luo Yun and Zhou Yong replied, Liang Liuyu in front of the door directly said with his spiritual sense: "Everyone be quiet, a True Lord is here." The True Lord did not hide it, so Liang Liuyu was the first to discover his illusory aura within the range covered by the power of the cave.

Hearing this, Fu Yuanxiao, Zhou Yong, Luo Yun, and even most of the disciples were refreshed, their backs straightened again, and their expectations were beyond words.

…………

Shi Xuan looked at the magnificent city in the white clouds, feeling dizzy. If it weren't for its simple shape, its metallic texture alone would make him feel as if he saw a future city in a science fiction movie.

The light of escape was not slow, and Shi Xuan soon flew to the gate of the huge city. He saw hundreds of disciples waiting in front of the gate, as well as several Yinshen venerables and Jindan masters. He couldn't help but admire the number of disciples of the super-large sect.

Seeing a young Tianjun in a white Taoist robe pressing the light of escape, Fu Yuanxiao and others suppressed their excitement and waited quietly. They wanted to raise the ritual flying sword in their hands immediately. Liang Liuyu walked forward and saluted Shi Xuan respectfully, saying: "Liang Liuyu of Baocheng Sect greets the True Lord. I don't know your name and why you are here?"

Shi Xuan said frankly: "Penglai Shi Xuan, I want to see the True Lord Shen Yimo of your sect. Please pass on the message."

The sharp sword energy in the city gate was interfering, and the distance was far. Unless they spoke loudly, the hundreds of disciples behind could not hear the conversation in front. Although they were all looking forward to it and wanted to know which ancestor this Zhenjun came to visit, they could only hear the echoing sound of sword energy and had to continue waiting.

"Penglai Shixuan? Yu Yutian Penglai Sect Shixuan Shi Zhenjun?!" Liang Liuyu was terrified when he heard this name, and almost sent the signal of the enemy attack to the Zhenjun sitting in the center of the cave. Fortunately, he was very strong-willed and tempered by the firm path. He held back his fear and opened his mouth to confirm.

Shixuan felt Liang Liuyu's fear and felt very strange. In the past few hundred years, he only learned a lot about the news of Baocheng Sect's three-tribulation Tianjun Ren Yunzong, one-tribulation Tianjun Shen Yimo, Xuan Jingfeng, Ye Piaoling, and ordinary Tianjun Zhao Hengcheng, and also learned about some outstanding Zhenren, but he didn't know much about the cultivators below the Yuanshen level. He could only roughly infer that it was because he injured Shen Yimo.

"They Baocheng Sect hold grudges so much? It's been hundreds of years, and even a Yinshen Venerable behaves like this?" Shi Xuan became alert. Of course, he answered Liang Liuyu's question directly: "It is Shi Xuan from Yu Yutian Penglai Sect. Please pass it on to Shen Zhenjun."

He almost gasped, and his mind was full of complicated thoughts, fear, speculation, and doubt. He didn't know why Shi Xuan came to his house, but Liang Liuyu couldn't make the decision on such matters. He quickly activated the contact talisman, but he was panicked for a while and didn't ask Shen Yimo for instructions. Instead, he directly asked Ren Yunzong, the Three Tribulations Heavenly Lord of Baocheng Sect.

Ren Yunzong didn't expect Shi Xuan to come to his house at this time. It seemed that Tianji was also deceived. He pondered for a while and sighed: "Let him in, tell him Yimo is in a short retreat, and then take him to the sword test road."

Sword test road? Liang Liuyu was shocked. That was a road prepared by Baocheng Sect for opponents who had some grudges but not a mortal feud. It didn't involve life and death. Once the person who blocked the road was successfully defeated, he would be the VIP and the most respected guest of Baocheng Sect. Is the sect going to make peace with Shi Xuan?

However, he did not dare to question Ren Yunzong's order, and said to Shi Xuan respectfully: "Master Shi, please come in with me. Grandmaster Shen is in a short retreat. Please go to the sword-testing pavilion and wait."

Shi Xuan knew about the sword-testing pavilion and expected it, so he nodded slightly: "Please."

Liang Liuyu turned around and led the way, and shouted loudly: "Welcome Master Shi Xuan of Penglai Sect!"

Shi Xuan followed behind, along the two neat rows of disciples, through the doorway, saw many disciples coming and going in the cave, and felt the sharp true meaning.

Fu Yuanxiao, Zhou Yong, Luo Yun and hundreds of others who had been looking forward to it, waved and raised the ritual swords in their hands, stimulating the connection contained in them, both to highlight the solemnity and respect, and to show the visiting Tianjun the strength of Baocheng Sect, and to appreciate his performance.

The sword light surged, the sharp aura rang and manifested, and a solemn realm of ten thousand swords was about to manifest. At the same time, they shouted loudly: "Welcome to Penglai Sect Shi Xuanshi..."

The voices stopped at the same time, and hundreds of ritual swords fell to the ground with a series of crisp sounds. Almost at the same time, the disciples who were riding flying swords in the cave near the doorway were also stunned, and turned their heads in horror to look over, like a still picture.

Shi Xuan didn't expect to encounter such a welcoming scene. Looking at the two rows of disciples, only a few people could maintain true fear, while the faces of the others were either forced to remain calm but emotionally unstable, or directly showed fear. Looking at the seemingly solidified scene of the nearby cave, he suddenly felt like a super villain.
