As one of the eight major sects in the world, Guiyuan Jianzhuang is located in Yongzhou in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty. It is located on an open plain and is very close to the local county and city, only two hundred miles away.
Guiyuan Jianzhuang is also very large. It is said to be Jianzhuang, but in fact, its development over the years has become comparable to a county government. It covers an area of about dozens of miles and has a population of one million people living there.
certainly.
Most of these millions of people are just ordinary people.
Only a very small number of talented people who are still standing are lucky enough to be able to worship at Guiyuan Sword Manor and then sit up as disciples of the outer sect, and most of them are lost to the public.
Right in the center of Guiyuan Jianzhuang, there is a mountain peak. The peak is not high, only a thousand meters, but the terrain is extremely steep, almost straight up and down, making it impossible to climb.
On this mountain peak, you can see many broken swords, rusted swords and even broken swords.
This is the place where the swords of Guiyuan Sword Village are buried.
No matter where the disciples of the inner sect of Guiyuan Sword Village died, Guiyuan Sword Village would retrieve the swords they used during their lifetimes, whether broken or not, and send them to Hidden Sword Peak.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the Sword Hidden Peak of Guiyuan Sword Village has been filled with countless swords. Some of them even have strong sword intent remaining, which has lasted for hundreds of years.
And right at the top of Hidden Sword Peak.
On the raised rocks.
A man sat cross-legged, with a silver-white sword placed across his knees. The whole man was suspended in the air, as if he had merged with the heaven and earth, and was inseparable from the heaven and earth.
The master of Guiyuan Sword Village and the ninth Martial Saint of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Deng Cang!
Directly in front of Deng Cang, there was a sword stuck vertically. The sword was half-broken and was a broken sword, but there was still a sense of sword intent left on the broken sword, as if it was an obsession that would not dissipate.
This broken sword comes from the first generation owner of Guiyuan Sword Village. He is also the third Martial Saint of Dayuan. He is the first person to break through the first level with swordsmanship and achieve the realm of Martial Saint.
Before death.
I once tried to break the sky with a sword!
I want to break open the sky and see what else is outside.
But in the end he failed, and only a broken sword fell from the sky and was inserted into the top of Hidden Sword Peak.
"Barrier between heaven and man..."
Deng Cang didn't know when he opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, and murmured.
What he recalled in his heart was what he saw here and Chen Mu three years ago when he visited the realm of a first-class Martial Saint and invited guests from all over to watch the ceremony.
That was the second time he and Chen Mu met. The first time was in Kyoto. When Chen Mu killed the demon king as a second-grade heavenly master, it was Chen Mu's sword that inspired him and asked him to sit down.
After three years in Guan, I was finally able to break through the first level and reach the realm of Martial Saint with the way of swordsmanship.
After reaching the realm of the Martial Saint, he also had a sword.
therefore.
Three years ago, he was here to ask Chen Mu for advice on how to use a sword.
But he didn't take action or even pull out his sword. He just looked at Chen Mu. From Chen Mu's deep eyes, he saw the reflected world and saw something that cannot be described in words.
The vast sword light engulfed him in an instant.
That is definitely not the realm of a second-grade magician.
This was the only thought in his mind at that time.
Afterwards, Chen Mu told him that martial arts is not complete, and the first level is not the end. Beyond that is the barrier between heaven and man. Only by breaking that barrier can one truly cut off the shackles and get rid of the mundane world.
So in the past three years, he has never taken a step out of Hidden Sword Peak. He has always been sitting on the top of the peak, sitting in front of the broken sword of the first owner of Guiyuan Sword Manor, trying to understand the so-called barrier between heaven and man.
But he couldn't touch it.
Just like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
No.
It wasn't even a mirror, because he couldn't even see the barrier, let alone try to touch it.
I studied swordsmanship for three years and gained nothing.
But he did not doubt the authenticity of what Chen Mu said, because he clearly felt the difference between Chen Mu and him. He had already been defeated without drawing a sword.
If his current state is that the body is in harmony with heaven and earth, and heaven and man are one, then Chen Mu seems to have transcended heaven and earth and become a being above the worldly world.
This realm is real.
Then what Chen Mu said is naturally true.
Deng Cang once asked Chen Mu if he could break the shackles of the sky by breaking that barrier, climb to the highest point in the sky, and see the world outside the sky.
Chen Mu's answer is no, but if you continue walking and go further, you can.
"There is a level of magician, but there is no path in martial arts... But even if there is no path, I will still find a way to open up a new path for future generations of swordsmen."
If the front is the end, then that's it, but the front is not the end. Even if there is no way, he will devote his whole life to breaking a path with a three-foot sword in hand.
The first owner of the village once climbed to the sky and broke through the sky barriers with his sword, wanting to see the world outside the sky, and he wanted to see the scenery above the Martial Saint.
Deng Cang's eyes fell on the broken sword in front of him.
Showing a little nostalgia.
Then he converged his gaze, closed his eyes again, and prepared to continue practicing.
but.
Just at this time.
Suddenly there was a sound coming from far away.
The voice was very light, as if coming from an extremely far away direction, but it was extremely clear. It resounded in the sky, resounded throughout Guiyuan Jianzhuang, and rang in everyone's ears.
"Is the Martial Saint here?"
"Li Feisheng, the Lingtian Sect of the Wuhua Domain, came to pay a visit."
The entire Guiyuan sword village fell into silence.
Everyone almost stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound in surprise.
soon.
I saw a beam of red light breaking through the sky in the sky to the west, and accompanied by a pressure that seemed to burn the sky, it descended over Guiyuan Jianzhuang in a mighty manner.
One moment the sky was blue, and the next moment it turned red, and even the white clouds turned into red fire clouds, as if the entire sky was on fire.
"What is Wuhua Domain...?"
Some people looked at the scene in the sky with confused expressions.
In the Great Yuan Jiuzhou, I have never heard of a place called Huayu. As for the Lingtian Sect, I have never heard of it, and the name Li Feisheng is extremely unfamiliar.
What is shocking is that the red color that fills the sky is not an illusion created by martial intent, but a real vision of heaven and earth, and that terrifying pressure seems to be even more terrifying than a martial arts master!
It must be at least the second level of martial arts!
When did such a strange second-level martial artist appear in the world?
Everyone was puzzled for a moment.
But countless eyes were also focused on Guiyuan Jianzhuang in the center at this moment.
Since Deng Cang ascended the throne of the Martial Saint, this is the first time that someone has come to visit him in this way. It is a visit, but it is better to say it is a challenge. He wants to question Deng Cang, the current Martial Saint!
"There's a show to watch."
"Let's go, let's go."
For a while, countless people showed excitement.
After Deng Cang became a Martial Saint, he never fired a sword in the past three years. Everyone in the world wanted to see Deng Cang's sword after becoming a Martial Saint, even the disciples and elders of Guiyuan Sword Manor.
I just haven’t had the chance to see it until now, but today I finally have the chance!
After all, although the person who came here was very strange, as if he had appeared out of nowhere, his pressure was at least the second level of martial arts. Today, he would probably have a chance to see Deng Cang's sword.
Swish! Swish!
For a while, many people started to move.
They all rushed to Guiyuan Jianzhuang.
At the same time, a beam of crimson escaping light had already reached the sky above Guiyuan Jianzhuang, and an invisible heat radiated from the sky, causing the temperature of the entire Jianzhuang to begin to rise.
"presumptuous!"
A cold shout came.
I saw a beam of cold sword light rising from the sky in Guiyuan Sword Manor.
It's not Deng Cang, but Qu Ming, the deputy owner of Guiyuan Sword Village, a second-level martial arts grandmaster, not counting the two supreme beings Chen Mu and Deng Cang, ranked sixth in the world today!
"No matter where you come from, if you want to visit Senior Brother Deng, you must pay attention to etiquette."
Qu Ming held a sword in his hand, stepped up to the sky, and spoke coldly. His sword intent surged and dissipated a lot of the spreading heat. At the same time, he stared at the figure bathed in red light on the sky and frowned.
Li Feisheng?
This guy came out of nowhere?
This coercion was very strange. Although it did not have the feeling of unity between heaven and man like that of a Martial Saint, it was much more terrifying than any second-level martial artist he had ever seen!
How could such an unknown person appear suddenly, and the so-called Wuhuayu and Lingtian Sect are also unheard of and have never been heard of.
However.
Just the next moment.
The figure bathed in red light suddenly took action.
"You are not worthy of discussing etiquette with me."
Li Feisheng spoke calmly, then raised his right hand and slapped Qu Ming.
boom!
Immediately, a beam of red flames was seen surging up, as if the sun was coming, and the terrifying heat seemed to evaporate everything within a few miles.
Many disciples of Guiyuan Jianzhuang were directly affected by this terrifying blazing heat and turned into charcoal without even being able to scream.
Qu Ming was immediately frightened and angry, never expecting that the other party would dare to act so wantonly, but then he ignored the fright and anger because the terrifying flames that erupted were directly attacking him.
endless burning heat,
It made him feel as if he was facing the bright sun in the sky!
Even the Chiyun True Yuan cultivated by the leader of the Chiyun Sect cannot have such terrifying power. It seems to be beyond the capabilities of the second-level martial arts!
"break!"
Qu Ming was frightened and suddenly slashed with his sword. Although it was just a swing, he had already mobilized all his true energy to create a blue sword light, trying to break through the covering flame.
But when the green sword light he swung came into contact with the flame, it failed to break it. Instead, it only stayed in a stalemate for a moment and was quickly swallowed up by it!
The terrifying flames shot down like an overwhelming force.
He will be burned directly to ashes!
But just then.
A beam of white sword light suddenly shot through the sky, dimming the world and the world, as if day turned into night, and pierced directly into the ball of light.
The flames suddenly stopped in the void, and then disappeared inch by inch.
"...Senior Brother Deng!"
Qu Ming watched the flames being chopped off and disappeared by the sword light, and a chill ran down his spine. He felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell, and was horrified by the power of this blow.
Of course, the only one who could withstand the flames and destroy them was Deng Cang, the living martial saint who entered the Tao with a sword!
On the sky.
Li Feisheng, who had an indifferent expression, finally moved his eyes, turned his head to look behind Qu Ming, and said:
"Well, even though it is a false doctrine, it does have merit."
Qu Ming also looked back and saw Deng Cang's figure appearing there at some point, standing quietly in the void.
He glanced below and saw a dozen disciples of Guiyuan Jianzhuang who had been burnt to charcoal by the aftermath. He then narrowed his gaze and looked at Li Feisheng again.
The eyes are calm.
It's so calm that it's heart-stopping.
Qu Ming, who was standing next to him, looked at Deng Cang's appearance and couldn't help but take a breath. He knew that Deng Cang was already angry. This was the first time that Deng Cang became angry after ascending to the position of Martial Saint!
"If you take my sword, you will live. If you cannot take it, you will die."
Deng Cang's indifferent voice echoed in the sky.
Li Feisheng smiled.
He didn't speak or answer, he just stood there and looked at Deng Cang.
next moment.
Deng Cang drew his sword.
This should be regarded as the first time he actually used the sword since he ascended to the Martial Saint. It was supposed to be the first time when he faced Chen Mu, but he was defeated before he could use the sword.
The sword that had just rescued Qu Ming had not been unsheathed.
At this moment, this sword is the sword that he uses to enter the Tao and ascend to the first level of Martial Saint. The sword with all his strength is also the first sword after becoming a Martial Saint!
The sword light is vast!
It was like a beam of light that created the world and penetrated the heaven and the earth. Even hundreds of miles away, one could still see the sword light that eclipsed the sky and the earth.
Whether it was the common people of Guiyuan Sword Village or the warriors, they all focused on the majestic sword light, feeling the sword intent of the Nine Heavens that seemed to break through the sky and ascend to the sky.
"This is... Deng Wusheng's sword..."
Whether they were the disciples of Guiyuan Sword Village or some warriors from other places who came to Guiyuan Sword Village to learn swordsmanship, they all showed admiration and looked up at the sky.
This sword is the direction they pursue throughout their lives.
I do not know how long it has been.
As if it was only a moment, or as if an eternity had passed, the sword light gradually dimmed, and finally turned into a strand of silk thread, disappearing between heaven and earth.
Everyone focused on the center of the sword light.
"Just die..."
Qu Ming murmured with a low look.
Deng Cang was already angry, and he did not hold back with this sword. Even the second-grade Heavenly Master and the Peerless Demon King might not be able to escape unscathed by this sword, let alone others.
That Li Feisheng has probably been wiped out.
It's just that when did such a person suddenly appear in Dayuan, where was the Wuhua Domain in his mouth, and what kind of sect was the Lingtian Sect, all of a sudden became unsolvable mysteries...
Qu Ming's thoughts suddenly solidified at this point.
His eyes were frozen.
There was a hint of surprise, and then gradually turned into disbelief. Looking ahead, he saw the figure of a person gradually revealed in the center where the sword light disappeared, and it was none other than Li Feisheng!
There was a red light bead floating above the person's head, emitting a little red light. The whole person was still standing intact in the sky, with only a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Under Qu Ming's unbelievable gaze.
Then he saw Li Feisheng raise his right hand and gently wipe the corner of his mouth.
"The way of sword is indeed the way of killing. It can hurt my fire source spirit body through the Fire Yuan Pearl... It's a pity that the false way stops here."
He spoke calmly.
Deng Cang looked at this scene with a little surprise.
how come?
If the other party is also a Martial Saint, or a second-grade Heavenly Master, it would be fine, but the other party does not have the realm of unity between heaven and man, which means that he has not reached this level yet.
"Next, it's my turn."
Li Feisheng looked at Deng Cang and spoke in a calm voice.
…
That day.
Red flames burn the sky and consume all things.
Everything within a radius of ten miles was turned into a sea of fire, and Guiyuan Jianzhuang was burned into ruins in the sea of fire.
Deng Cang breaks the sword.
Return to Yuan and cry blood.
The Great Yuan Dynasty, which had been peaceful for five years after the demons invaded the earth, was completely turned upside down from that day on, ushering in what later generations would call the 'Millennium Change'!
