Chapter 627: Lawless and unrestrained land, Which is more important?
Shu Sect was one of the best sword-cultivating sacred lands in the Jianxuan Great World. The Sword Immortals in the world originated from Shu Sect. It was not without reason that this saying had spread in the thirteen states.
In the restricted area of Shu Sect’s back mountain, there was a sword-casting pool covering thousands of miles. Rumor had it that it was built by the first master of the Shu Sect. It was taken from a meteorite from outside the sky, and forged in more than 100,000 ways before it was condensed. It had more than 300,000 divine swords.
Whenever the full moon or the sun scorched the sky, there would be the sound of thousands of swords screaming together, enabling one to interpret many mysterious sword intent.
Countless sword shadows hovered between the sky and the earth with the sword energy intertwined. Many disciples and elders of the Shu Sect had come here to comprehend the way of the sword, to proceed in their levels quickly.
This was one of the forbidden places of the Shu Sect. At the same time, in the Sword Pavilion standing on the top of the cloud, there were different kinds of swordsmanship as well as divine powers collected by the elders and disciples of the Shu Sect. These were extremely powerful and had the ability to subdue G.o.ds and demons.
Sword-casting Pond and Sword Pavilion were the two forbidden places of the Shu Sect. They were specially guarded by elders at the ninth level, and even flies could not fly into them on normal days.
But at this moment, Tuoba Xiaoyao, who was a visitor from outside the sky, had stepped into the gate of the Sword Pavillion in a grand manner. With a calm expression, he walked into the pavilion on foot.
He was wearing the clothes of the disciples of the Shu sect, and there was a faint sense of sword aura. Even the lame elder who was in charge of guarding the gate of the temple showed his appreciation for him.
With the pure aura of a disciple of the Shu Sect, he could comprehend a powerful sword intent at such an age. Within a few years, he would definitely be the pillar of the Shu Sect.
“Things are different… I can’t see anything of what it used to be.”
The elder at the gate of Sword Pavillion naturally didn’t know what Tuoba Xiaoyao was thinking at the moment.
He looked at the neatly arranged bookshelves in the Sword Pavillion, looking for those familiar jade slips, his eyes gradually turning dazed.
Once upon a time, like other disciples, he read various cla.s.sics and techniques from here, but now he couldn’t see a single familiar person. Even the lame elder at the door was an extremely unfamiliar face.
Ever since he observed the fall of his Ancestor while crossing the catastrophe, too many things had happened in Shu Sect, and even many cla.s.sics in this Sword Pavilion were lost.
“I hope a solution can be found, my sister’s life is still in the hands of Gu Changge.”
When he came back to his senses, Tuoba Xiaoyao’s figure gradually disappeared among the many jade slips as he began to read them continuously, from the first floor to the eighth floor.
During this period, he met many Shu Sect’s disciples who cast strange eyes on him, but he turned a blind eye to them.
Tuoba Xiaoyao understood that sooner or later Shu Sect would come into Gu Changge’s field of vision, and the secret that he was a disciple of the Shu Sect might be revealed at that time.
As a result, no matter whether it was the Upper Realm or the Jianxuan Great World, there would be no place for him. Therefore, he had to find a way to save his sister from Gu Changge before the troops from the Upper Realm who entered this realm noticed Shu Sect.
Because of the existence of the Heavenly Sword Embryo, Gu Changge would not do anything to him in a short time, but when the Heavenly Sword fell into Gu Changge’s hands, everything would be unclear.
Thus, during this period, he must do everything possible to improve his strength and find the means and confidence to counter Gu Changge.
“Buzz…”
At the same time, in Shu Sect’s Sword Casting Pool, there were hundreds of millions of swords trembling. The many divine swords located among the cliffs, stones, and valleys seemed to be cheering, just like worshiping the emperor of swords.
A slender figure sat cross-legged in the depths of the Sword Casting Pond, his breath was calm, his eyes closed, surrounded by many sword shadows, undulating like a king.
At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the sword shadows of the heavens were reflected in the depths of his eyes, which seemed to be able to split the long river of time and endless void.
“Such a serious problem is not only the enemy of our Shu Sect but also the enemy of the Jianxuan Great World.”
This figure was naturally Lin En, the Young Ancestor of the Shu Sect.
Different from the incarnation from the Ancient Mulberry City, the one in the front was the true body, and his strength had already reached the level of the Sword Immortal.
Even the old Sword Immortal who once taught him was defeated by his sword a few years ago. To put it bluntly, in the current Jianxuan Great World, he should be the strongest person!
Lin En’s figure stepped out of the Sword-Casting Pool, and the many divine swords around him also slowly turned silent, showing their devout worship of him.
He looked in the direction of Ancient Mulberry City, frowning tightly. The connection between the avatar and the body was quite deep, so he was very aware of what happened in Ancient Mulberry City. The fall of the four Sword Immortals was really shocking.
Until now, the entire thirteen states of the Jianxuan Great World were still in a panic.
The terrifying strength displayed by Gu Changge brought a deep sense of powerlessness and despair to everyone. It was absolutely invincible and crushing, there was no second possibility at all.
Even if he tried all means with his true body, he would not be Gu Changge’s opponent. But now, this terrifying enemy was planning to attack Shu Sect and the old Sword Immortal. After all, the Sword Immortal Order was issued by the old Sword Immortal.
“Master is far from being the opponent of Gu Changge. Even if the patriarch who crossed the catastrophe from back then was here, he probably wouldn’t be able to resist. This is the disaster of my Shu Sect. It seems that Boundless Valley is the only way to proceed. Otherwise, the Jianxuan world would not be destroyed first, but my Shu Sect will be razed to the ground ahead of it.”
Lin En sighed softly, and took a step forward, the void blurred, and his figure quickly disappeared.
The Boundless Valley he mentioned was a mysterious place in the Jianxuan Great World.
There was no law, no sky, no ground, no restraints, the sky was spherical and the place seemed to be boundless. If a cultivator stepped into it, there was no other possibility except being trapped to death.
Even he once only stopped at the outermost part of the Boundless Valley, sensing the great danger in it, and did not continue to step in. But fortune and misfortune had been intertwined since ancient times. A divination and swordsmanship that Lin En accidentally practiced told him that there would be a glimmer of life there.
So he decided to enter the Boundless Valley first before Gu Changge attacked Shu Sect.
“The one surnamed Gu will never let my Shu Sect unscathed. For the current plan, we can only find a chance of survival by joining forces with the Sword Sect, Mount Kong, and other forces. Snow Sword Immortal has already betrayed the Sword Sect, and she still doesn’t understand that the surname Gu had no good intentions…”
At this moment, in the hall of the Shu Sect Master, many elders gathered together. The current Shu Sect Master including old Sword Immortal and others were also impressively included within the line up.
The person who spoke was none other than the old Sword Immortal. He stroked his beard, and his eyes were heavy with a bit of anger. It was obvious that he hated Snow Sword Immortal.
In his opinion, Gu Changge’s strength was enough to sweep the Jianxuan World, how could he come here for no reason, and inform them of the method to fight against the extraterritorial demons?
This in itself was unreasonable, but Snow Sword Immortal chose to believe in Gu Changge, which made him extremely angry. However, as the words of the old Sword Immortal fell, the hall fell into silence.
Many elders, including Yi Jianxian, the Sect
The matter of the old Sword Immortal issuing the Sword Immortal Order without authorization had actually violated the rules of the Shu Sect, but with his seniority and strength, no one dared to say anything more.
Yet now he still couldn’t see the situation clearly. Gu Changge had no intention to take action against Shu Sect. But after this incident, the Shu Sect had become his enemy.
They could still see clearly which side was more important.
