On the vast and deep sea, the blue sea stretches to the sky and the waves are turbulent.
A figure cut across the sky and then stood on the sea.
Even if the sea water surges, it will be difficult to wet this man's clothes.
"My wooden sword must have been lost here."
Ren Xiaoyao stood on the sea, looking around with an eager look on his face.
At this moment, he really wanted to find the wooden sword he had discarded back then.
There must be a secret on that wooden sword that I have ignored.
Especially after meeting Ye Qingyun in Shuiyue Sect today, this feeling is particularly strong.
But the vast sea is vast, so it's not easy to find a wooden sword?
not to mention.
He discarded the wooden sword more than 80,000 years ago.
It is not certain whether that wooden sword will survive as time goes by.
It can be said that Ren Xiaoyao has almost no hope of recovering the wooden sword.
Ren Xiaoyao himself understood this, but he still came.
Just for that faint glimmer of hope.
next moment.
Ren Xiaoyao escaped into the sea.
Use your magical power to see everything under the sea.
There are many ferocious beasts in the sea.
The deeper you go, the ferocious beasts are not only powerful and ferocious, but even terrifying.
For ordinary monks, going deep into the sea is undoubtedly a risky act.
Countless monks have been buried under the giant sea throughout the ages.
But for a strong person like Ren Xiaoyao, there is no danger under the huge sea.
A moment after the sword energy was released, the ferocious beasts under the huge sea retreated one after another.
The weaker ones were torn to pieces on the spot by the sword energy around Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao ignored those ferocious beasts and kept searching under the deep sea.
He found a lot of things.
But he couldn't find the wooden sword he had discarded back then.
"Is it really true that he's not here anymore?"
Ren Xiaoyao's heart was filled with disappointment and regret.
Back then, I wanted to climb the Infinite Sword Mountain so much that I gave up the past and sealed my memory so that I could focus on climbing the Infinite Sword Mountain with a new attitude.
There are gains and there are losses.
He successfully climbed to the top of Wuliang Sword Mountain, but he also gave up the wooden sword that had been with him for a long time.
It's tantamount to giving up on one's original intention.
It's hard to get it back now.
Ren Xiaoyao refused to give up and continued deep into the seabed.
A huge creature suddenly rushed out from the darkness at the bottom of the sea and swallowed Ren Xiaoyao in one gulp.
Ren Xiaoyao raised his hand and pointed.
As the sword energy raged, the huge beast instantly turned into a pile of minced meat.
Blood is soaked in the sea water.
Ren Xiaoyao glanced around, but there was still no sign of the wooden sword.
"It seems that he is really gone."
Ren Xiaoyao felt bitter and finally gave up.
He turned around and was about to fly towards the sea.
But suddenly.
Ren Xiaoyao glanced out of the corner of his eye and seemed to see something.
"Could it be..."
Ren Xiaoyao dodged and instantly arrived at the body of the sea beast that had been reduced to pieces.
One of the corpse fragments had something vaguely inserted into it.
Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel excited.
He immediately reached out and grabbed the piece of minced meat, and pulled out the thing stuck in the minced meat.
"Wooden sword!"
Ren Xiaoyao was extremely pleasantly surprised.
This is exactly the wooden sword that he discarded in Xingxiu Sea.
This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort at all to get there.
I thought that the wooden sword no longer existed, but I didn't expect that it was actually inside the body of this sea beast.
If this sea beast had not appeared by itself, or if I had not killed it, then this wooden sword would never be recovered.
Perhaps it was destined that if I left it here, I would find it here.
"After so many years, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all."
Looking at the wooden sword in his hand, Ren Xiaoyao's expression became very complicated, with memories, nostalgia, and a bit of sadness in his eyes.
The wooden sword is still a wooden sword, but am I still the same person I was before?
"Huh? This is..."
Ren Xiaoyao looked at the wooden sword, but saw a line of words on the wooden sword that he had never seen before.
"Your name is Xiaoyao, so you should be free from restraints. I hope this sword can make you free in the world."
"Remember your original intention."
Ren Xiaoyao stared blankly at this line of words, and tears flowed down silently.
This wooden sword has been with him for so many years, and this line has never appeared.
Until I threw it away for so many years, and now I found it again, and this line of text appeared.
What does this mean? How could Ren Xiaoyao not understand?
The wooden sword is my original intention!
Back then, in order to climb to the top of Wuliang Sword Mountain, I gave up my wooden sword and put down my original intention. Although I managed to reach the top, I was like a caged bird, restrained by the Five Villages.
He was even restrained by Ren Xiaoyao himself.
Ren Xiaoyao asked himself, although his strength has improved in Wuzhuang over the years, he still has the feeling that he can't see everything at a glance.
The more I practice in Wuzhuang, the more I feel my own insignificance.
It seems that no matter how much I practice or how much my strength improves, I can't feel at ease inside.
No matter how strong you become, there will still be someone stronger than you.
What are you chasing?
When you first picked up a wooden sword and became a swordsman, what was your purpose?
Don't you just want to be free and live more freely with a sword in your hand?
Ren Xiaoyao held the wooden sword in his hand and suddenly flew out of the sea.
He stood in mid-air, stroking the wooden sword in his hand affectionately, his eyes full of guilt.
"That Patriarch Tiezhu turned out to be the mysterious master who gave me the wooden sword back then."
"It was he who made me embark on the path of sword cultivation, and this wooden sword has always inspired and spurred me on."
"But I threw it away, how ridiculous it was for me to let it go!"
Ren Xiaoyao looked up to the sky and sighed, his sword energy rising straight into the sky.
"All the swordsmanship and magical powers I have cultivated in Wuzhuang, today I will let Xiaoyao throw them away and go back to the path of the past!"
Buzz!!!
The sword energy collapsed.
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Ren Xiaoyao's mouth and dripped into the sea.
He himself abolished many of his magical powers of swordsmanship.
These are all magical powers that he has cultivated in Wuzhuang over the years, but now he has given up on them all.
Such a move would undoubtedly greatly damage Ren Xiaoyao's strength.
But giving up these things made Ren Xiaoyao feel suddenly relaxed.
It's as if the whole person has been reborn.
The world becomes wider and the heart is no longer restricted.
Ren Xiaoyao showed a smile and looked back in the direction of Wuzhuang.
"Farewell, cage."
At this moment.
The wooden sword in Ren Xiaoyao's hand suddenly glowed with a light golden light.
"Um?"
Ren Xiaoyao was startled, with a look of astonishment on his face.
This was the first time he saw such a change on the wooden sword.
This has never happened before.
The light golden brilliance gradually becomes richer.
And like running water, it gradually spread into Ren Xiaoyao's palm.
Before Ren Xiaoyao could react, his body became like a wooden sword.
Brilliant!
In a moment.
Ren Xiaoyao has turned into a ball of pale golden light.
The wooden sword also gradually integrated into Ren Xiaoyao's body with the light.
Almost at the same time, the swords of countless sword cultivators in Qiuzhou Qihai, regardless of their rank, were all inspired by the secret.
They all headed in the direction of Ren Xiaoyao.
Even Ren Xiaoyao and Gu Chen who were in Shuiyue Sect, their swords were trembling slightly.
The two stood on the sky of Shuiyue Sect and looked at each other, quite surprised.
"This sword intent... belongs to Ren Xiaoyao!"
Xiao Fengtian couldn't help but exclaimed.
Gu Chen stared in the direction of Xingxiu Sea, his eyes filled with excitement.
"It seems that Senior Ren has some understanding and has reached a different realm from us."
Xiao Fengtian nodded. As the top swordsman in the world, he felt the same as Gu Chen.
the other side.
The distant Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain.
Immortal Lushan stood outside the Heaven and Earth Hall, feeling the surprised sounds of many sword cultivators in the Five Villages, without much expression on his face.
He just frowned slightly.
Buzz buzz.
At this moment, the short jade sword that Lushan Immortal was playing with was buzzing in the direction of Ren Xiaoyao.
"Noisy."
Lushan Immortal spoke calmly and immediately calmed down the short jade sword.
"Has Ren Xiaoyao made a breakthrough? But this doesn't sound like a breakthrough."
Lushan Immortal murmured to himself.
"It seems that I have realized a unique realm of swordsmanship."
"But...why did he go to the direction of Xingxiu Sea? Why not in Qiandao Prefecture? Did something happen to Junior Brother and the others?"
...
Ren Xiaoyao stood alone above the sea and sky, and the brilliance around him gradually became restrained.
His eyes slowly opened, and a flash of sword light passed through his eyes.
The next moment, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly turned around.
Looking in the direction of Shuiyue Sect.
With gratitude and sincerity on his face, he bowed deeply.
"The gift of the sword in the past, the gift of enlightenment today, Ren Xiaoyao will always remember it in his heart!"
"Thank you for your great kindness, senior!"
The three consecutive bows showed Ren Xiaoyao's gratitude.
When Ren Xiaoyao stood up, there was already a look of determination in his eyes.
"Senior is so kind, Ren Xiaoyao knows how to repay his kindness."
"Zhen Yuanzi left four peerless swords in Wuzhuang to suppress all directions."
"Today, I, Ren Xiaoyao, will fetch these four peerless swords for my seniors and do my best for my seniors!"
