Chapter 740

Five years later.

Barren Cloud Heavenly Palace.

In the main hall, Palace Master Huangyun was discussing matters with the six peak masters.

"The battle on the front line is tight, and the equipment is seriously worn out. The gods request us to build a batch of weapons and armor as soon as possible." Palace Master Barren Cloud said.

"Leave this to us at Canghe Peak." A peak master said.

Canghe Peak is specialized in the six arts, and this peak is responsible for the refining of weapons.

Palace Master Huangyun nodded and said: "That's good. In addition, we have received information that the ancient world has recently sent a group of ghost soul demons. In order to prevent them from sneaking into our position, our music cultivators will go to the battle to supervise the battle."

Everyone looked at a girl together.

The girl sat cross-legged on a chair, holding a green jade flute in her hand.

She is the Lord of Miaoyin Peak, Luo Bingli.

When the newcomers joined the sect, she was the female cultivator who stood on the top of the mountain and played the flute to break the demons.

Luo Bingli smiled and said, "No problem, leave this matter to me."

Palace Master Huangyun asked: "How many people are you going to bring with you?"

Luo Bingli murmured: "Bringing five people is almost enough."

Palace Master Huangyun shook his head and said: "The number of music practitioners is rare, and it is rare to train one, so don't bring too many people there."

Luo Bingli said: "Then I will only take two people."

Palace Master Huangyun nodded,

He looked at a monk beside him, and said: "Peak Master Qiyun, you personally take a group of people with Peak Master Miaoyin to protect their safety."

The monk grinned: "Palace master, please rest assured, I will bring a group of the strongest swordsmen and swordsmen, and select some outstanding spearmen."

Palace Master Huangyun asked: "How many people are you going to bring?"

"Two hundred people." Qi Yunfeng said.

"Well, two hundred people are enough, we must protect them."

"As ordered."

Palace Master Huangyun stood up and said to the other peak masters: "Okay, if there is nothing else, today's discussion will come to an end."

Several peak masters stood up and looked at each other.

Master Bishuifeng said: "Palace Master, there is one more thing."

"Oh? Tell me." Palace Master Barren Cloud said.

"It's like this. It's been five years since the last batch of newcomers started. We have organized four big competitions. This year is the end of the year and we are going to organize the fifth big competition." Bishuifeng said.

"Isn't this an annual practice?" Palace Master Barren Cloud asked.

"The main reason is that the peaks have some bad comments about the main peak recently." Bishuifeng said.

There are seven peaks on the river, six of which surround the main peak.

The main peak is the mountain where Palace Lord Barren Cloud is located.

All the important classics, inherited treasures, and the road to the sky of all sects are all set on this peak.

"About the main peak?" Palace Master Huangyun frowned gradually, and said solemnly: "Tell me specifically, what exactly is it?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that everyone thinks that the disciples accepted by the suzerain haven't participated in any competitions for four consecutive years since they started, and they have never participated in any activities, so there are many discussions." Master Bishuifeng said.

Peak Master Gu Xia added: "The group of boys on our peak are always clamoring to compete with the disciples of the suzerain—not to mention winning or losing, Palace Master, you still have to bring your disciples out to show up when you have time, so as to set the record straight. "

Palace Master Huangyun's expression eased.

It turned out to be this thing.

He asked: "This year's competition, Gu Qingshan still hasn't signed up?"

Master Bishuifeng said: "That's exactly the case, so those monks of the same generation are a little muttering, thinking why the head disciple has been hiding all the time and never shows up."

Master Gu Xiafeng said: "Palace Master, just ask Gu Qingshan to fight once, so that those boys don't talk about it, but they have opinions about the main peak in their hearts."

Palace Master Huangyun said: "I'll ask him, but I can't guarantee the result."

He suddenly laughed and said: "As for those comments, alas, they are still a group of children and will not have any impact on the main peak, so you don't have to take it to heart."

After finishing speaking, Palace Master Huangyun waved his sleeves and disappeared from the main hall.

Several peak masters looked at each other.

"Palace Master can't let that kid come out for a fight?" Lingying Peak Master asked curiously.

Peak Master Gu Xia shook his head and said: "According to me, the Palace Master dotes on him too much as a disciple. In fact, he should come out and get in touch with his peers more, and exchange feelings through competitions, so that everyone will recognize that kid's status."

The other peak masters nodded in sympathy.

"Do you think it never happened?" Luo Bingli, the master of Miaoyin Peak, said, "I am responsible for monitoring the situation of the sect. I have seen Gu Qingshan go in and out of Canghe Peak several times. At that time, quite a few disciples chased after him, wanting to learn from him , were all rejected.”

All the peak masters were taken aback.

He refused!

In the contest between disciples, unless there is too much difference in cultivation, no one will refuse.

Once someone refuses to compete, it will be considered cowardly.

Besides, this kind of battle is also the moment when the strong become famous.

Continuing to think about it, the peak masters couldn't help frowning.

That boy was the first disciple accepted by the suzerain, and his identity was naturally the eldest disciple of the sect.

Regardless of his strength or character, as long as that kid is in this position, he represents all the disciples of the sect.

With such an identity, even if his cultivation is not good, he should come out early to follow the palace lord and participate in handling various affairs in order to hone his talent and ability and accumulate fame.

But since he got started, that kid basically didn't show up much.

As we all know, the boy showed up several times, and the kid went directly to the classics room of Canghe Peak and stayed for a long time.

According to the records in the classics room, he did borrow a lot of ancient books and jade slips such as spiritual food and magic circle.

He was holding the suzerain's jade plate, and no one could stop him.

——But as a disciple who has just entered the sect, is it really okay to not practice swordsmanship well and be distracted by doing other things like this?

The Palace Mistress pampered him too much.

Lingying Peak Master pondered and said: "It seems that we still have to find an opportunity to persuade the Palace Master. After all, his first disciple represents the face of the sect, and also represents the sect's attitude towards disciples."

"right."

"As it should."

"Next time, let's talk to the Palace Master."

Several other peak masters agreed.

...

The main peak of the barren cloud.

Xie Guhong, the owner of Huangyun Palace, has returned.

He walked on the stone path leading to the top of the mountain.

This will make him feel relaxed.

——He likes to take a short walk like this after every discussion.

Suddenly he stopped and looked up at the sky.

Snowflakes were falling down one after another.

It's the end of the year again.

However, it has not been an easy year.

On the front line, there are more and more ancient monsters, and they are getting stronger and stronger, and there are even almost invincible existences.

Even the gods are a little afraid of that monster.

——Although this cannot be said publicly, Xie Guhong believes that those few top monks have already noticed something.

That battle was brutal.

Nearly ten great monks were killed in a row, and the human race almost fought hard in a life-threatening way, and finally killed the monster.

That's right, the human race is getting stronger and stronger.

But the crisis is also expanding silently.

Xie Guhong sighed.

The battle on the front line, the urging of the gods, and various affairs of the sect, all of them require him to concentrate on facing them.

He reached out and took a snowflake.

When will he die on the front line?

Suddenly, he remembered the incident mentioned by the peak masters during today's discussion.

"Aoyama..."

Xie Guhong murmured and disappeared from the spot.

In the depths of the main peak of the barren cloud.

Jian Yuan.

All the sword tomes collected by the entire sect are gathered here.

A young man was sitting among the piles of jade slips like mountains and seas, holding a jade slip in his forehand, quietly comprehending the mystery in it.

Gu Qingshan.

He seemed to have entered a state of ecstasy.

In the void opposite him, Xie Guhong showed his figure.

Xie Guhong first waited for a while, seeing that Gu Qingshan hadn't moved at all, he coughed helplessly.

Gu Qingshan felt it immediately.

He opened his eyes.

"Master is here." He stood up and clasped his fists.

"Well, how is your practice recently?" Xie Guhong asked.

"Everything is fine." Gu Qingshan said.

Xie Guhong tentatively said: "Master, I suddenly remembered something—you have been in the sect for five years, and it seems that you have never competed with others?"

"Yes." Gu Qingshan nodded.

Xie Guhong asked: "Why don't you fight against others?"

Gu Qingshan was puzzled, and replied: "Those seniors whose cultivation base is too high, I can't beat them at all with my current strength."

Xie Guhong said: "Teacher refers to peers."

Gu Qingshan said: "That's too boring. After all, Tiandao didn't say anything, which proves that I'm still number one, so fighting them is just a waste of time."

Xie Guhong was speechless.

This kid once made an oath of heaven, once he is not the first swordsman, he will immediately abolish his cultivation and quit the sect.

He stayed here perfectly.

Even Tiandao is proving his strength.

Xie Guhong coughed lightly, and said, "That... this year's competition, do you consider participating?"

Gu Qingshan hesitated: "Master, if I go up, will it hurt people too much?"

Xie Guhong frowned.

This kid...

Xie Guhong stood still, but there were seven long swords floating in the air behind him.

Xie Guhong took a sword from behind.

"Come on, let me see how far you have come as the number one swordsman among the disciples of this generation."

"Okay, Master please advise."

Gu Qingshan also took out a sword.

He didn't salute, and rushed forward in a flash.

——Gu Qingshan couldn't wait to get the personal guidance of the sword cultivator who surpassed the gods.

To shoot is to kill!

The long sword was divided into two parts, and then into six parts. In an instant, it turned into thirty-six swords, splitting into shadows and turning into lights, and cut Xie Guhong straight!

——Gu Qingshan integrated the superb swordsmanship he had learned in the past five years with the secret sword he knew, plus all his fighting experience, and stabbed out this sword with all his strength.

Xie Guhong's eyes lit up.

"Only five years..." he murmured.

Long sword swung.

Jingle ding ding ding!

He swung the long sword lightly, and all the sword lights were knocked away.

"die!"

Gu Qingshan suddenly appeared in front of him, the long sword in his hand disappeared even half of his body.

This sword is so fast that the edge can hardly be seen!

when!

There was a loud bang.

Gu Qingshan was knocked flying with his sword.

He somersaulted a few times in the air and stood still ten feet away.

"okay."

Xie Guhong let go of the sword in his hand.

Gu Qingshan had no choice but to withdraw his sword resentfully.

He still wants to fight.

But the master has already withdrawn the sword, so there is no need to fight.

Gu Qingshan looked at the seven swords behind Xie Guhong, and asked seriously: "Master, have you surpassed the realm of sword fairy?"

Xie Guhong nodded.

Gu Qingshan wondered: "But why do you only have seven flying swords? It is said that with your strength and the control of swords with your heart, hundreds of swords are not a problem."

Xie Guhong said: "In the past when I became a Sword Immortal, I carried 1,954 flying swords with me, but after I surpassed the realm of Sword Immortal, until now, I only use seven flying swords."

"how so?"

"Because when you can completely unleash the power of the flying sword, you have to start thinking about how to restrain its power."

"Restrain?" Gu Qingshan murmured.

He suddenly remembered that in the world of the sea survivors, Ilia seemed to have said similar words when he was discussing with him.

Xie Guhong said: "Yes, it is more difficult to contain than to let go. When you can gather all your strength and transform it into a sword, it will be the time for your swordsmanship."

"So master took away the Seven Swords?"

"No, I used to make one sword, but now I have reached another level, so it is seven swords."

What Gu Qingshan heard was both admiration and fascination.

Seeing the expression on his face, Xie Guhong smiled and said: "Okay, your advancement is already amazing, don't envy me."

"Yes, Master."

"Continue to practice, and go out first as a teacher."

"it is good."

Xie Guhong retracted the seven swords behind him, and walked out slowly.

He walked halfway, seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and told Gu Qingshan: "Don't go out to attack people within three years. After three years, I will give you a job. You go to Qiyun Peak to teach people how to use swords."

"...Follow orders, Master."
