Chapter 41 The whereabouts of the sword holder and divine general Zhao Xuantan
As soon as Lu Daoxuan said this.
Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue were both silent for a long time.
Finally, Xu Taiping’s whisper broke the dead silence——
"Could it be said that Emperor Zhenwu is willing to accept the remnants of Taixuan Sect precisely because he has already known about the Taixu Calamity?"
Fairy Lingyue recalled the conversation between Lian Tong and Xu Taiping at that time and murmured:
"At the beginning, Lian Tong said that the Black Tiger Altar Divine General Zhao Xuantan, one of the four divine generals under Zhenwu, ultimately failed to ascend due to a disaster that started in Xumi, and instead fell to this world."
"Now it seems that he probably died in this catastrophe, right?"
As she spoke, Fairy Lingyue looked at Lu Daoxuan through the bronze door on the side.
Lu Daoxuan said "Oh?" when he heard this, and said with some surprise:
"I didn't expect that you actually know this secret about the divine general Zhao Xuantan."
Lu Daoxuan continued:
"Yes, judging from the notes left by the Five Elders, Zhao Xuantan's death is indeed closely related to the Taixu Calamity."
"But it is not accurate to say that he is dead, because even the five elders only know that Zhao Xuantan disappeared because of the robbery. As for his life and death, there is no way to know."
"And judging from the notes left by the Five Elders, after knowing the existence of Taixu Liangjie, God General Zhao Xuantan fought against it alone for at least tens of thousands of years."
"It was only after ten thousand years that its aura completely disappeared."
"It is said that at that time, he even sent a message to the five elders, hoping to completely erase the traces of the Taixu Calamity in Shangqing by cutting off the long river of time."
"But now it seems that he has clearly failed."
"However, it is precisely because of his tens of thousands of years of struggle that the time when the Taixu Calamity completely broke out in the Shangqing was delayed by at least 10,000 years."
"It's all thanks to him that you and I can still sit here and talk."
After listening to Lu Daoxuan's account of Zhao Xuantan's experience, Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue both felt that
Very sad.
However, Xu Taiping noticed that it was not difficult to tell from Lu Daoxuan's narration just now that Zhao Xuantan had come to Qingxuan Sect to look for the Five Elders before breaking the tribulation.
So he immediately asked Lu Daoxuan:
"Master, Zhao Xuantan came to Qingxuan Sect to look for the Five Elders, right?"
Lu Daoxuan, who was behind the bronze door, nodded immediately and said:
"That's right."
"Zhao Xuantan is one of the very few people in the Shangqing Realm who knows the origins of the Five Elders and the Qingxuan Sect."
Lu Daoxuan pondered briefly, and then continued:
"At that time, although he discovered the existence of Taixu Calamity and knew its terrible harm, he had no idea how to deal with it."
"At that time, the Five Elders had been secretly observing the Taixu calamity in Shangqing for many years, and had even devised several countermeasures. However, they were unable to escape from the Youxuan Devil's Cave and could not find the person who went to break the calamity.
The man of the sword.”
"So when he heard that Zhao Xuantan was willing to give up the opportunity to ascend just to break the Taixu Calamity, he hit it off immediately and combined these observations of the Taixu Calamity with Zhao Xuantan's own cultivation and combat power.
, and formulated a very detailed set of countermeasures.”
"For this reason, I, one of the five elders of Qingxuan, did not hesitate to burn out my own true energy and blood to forge all six fairy swords in the sixteen pictures of divine weapons for Zhao Xuantan."
Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue said with a look of astonishment:
"Mr. Lu, what are you talking about? They made all the swords in the magic weapon picture?"
You know, among the sixteen pictures of divine weapons, there are only six fairy swords in total.
Xu Taiping also reacted at this time, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After hearing this, Lu Daoxuan, who was behind the bronze door, nodded solemnly.
road:
"To be able to forge these six peerless immortal weapons, the sacrifices of two of the five elders and Zhao Xuantan's lifelong financial resources are indispensable."
"Today, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to bring these six swords back to earth."
"According to the description in the soul imprint left by the Five Elders, although these six swords are borrowed from the six laws of heaven, when the six swords were born, they were extremely powerful."
"The Zhenwu Heaven at that time lasted for ten consecutive days, with day and night."
"The dazzling light of the six fairy swords, no matter what kind of magical power you use, no matter where you hide it, there is no way to cover it up." ??
"If Zhao Xuantan's hands and eyes hadn't been able to suppress the movement of these six immortal swords in the end, I'm afraid all the monks in the Upper Pure Realm would have been attracted to it."
When he said this, Lu Daoxuan sighed helplessly and said:
"But even so, Zhao Xuantan and Wulao's plan still failed."
"But it was also this failure."
Lu Daoxuan on the other side of the bronze door suddenly said in a more serious tone:
"Let the remaining three elders decide that if they want to break the Taixu calamity, they can only use the sword-making method of Taixuan Sect's Folding Sword Hall to forge an immortal sword."
"There are only the laws of the great avenue besides the sixteen laws of heaven."
"Only in this way can we resist the great catastrophe."
As he spoke, Lu Daoxuan looked at Xu Taiping through the thick bronze door, his eyes full of excitement and he said:
"It is precisely because of this that I would say that the appearance of you, Taiping, and the secret copper of Shou Mountain is Qingxuan's good fortune and Zhenwu's good fortune."
After Xu Taiping listened to Lu Daoxuan's story, most of his confusion was finally eliminated.
So Xu Taiping tried to express his views on the matter through what Lu Daoxuan had just said:
"So Master, you want me to use this piece of copper from Shoushan to forge a handle that can handle
The immortal sword of Tai Xuan Liang Jie, and then...then become the current sword holder, right?"
Lu Daoxuan did not answer, but asked:
"Would you like that?"
Xu Taiping replied almost without any hesitation:
"certainly!"
Fairy Lingyue on the side hesitated to speak, but finally chose to remain silent.
"Very good!" Lu Daoxuan said with a hearty smile:
"Taiping, my master had already planned to die in this mysterious cave. It was your appearance that made me feel that I can still compete with this heavenly way and this Taixu calamity!"
Xu Taiping said with firm eyes:
"Master, this disciple is looking forward to the day when I can wield the sword side by side with you."
Even if Lu Daoxuan didn't say anything, Xu Taiping himself knew very well that after choosing to become the sword bearer of Taixu Liangjie, the future path of cultivation will be ten times more difficult and dangerous than before.
But to use the sword to protect his fellow disciples, to use the sword to protect Qingxuan, to use the sword to protect Zhenwu, is the original intention of his Taoist practice.
Therefore, even if he was about to be counterattacked by heaven, he would not be able to refuse the sword holder.
Fairy Lingyue on the side did not stop Xu Taiping precisely because she knew this.
After feeling Xu Taiping's determination, Lu Daoxuan's fighting spirit also increased a bit.
Even the Mo Lin Sword leaning to the side kept making joyful sword cries, thinking that Lu Daoxuan was taking it to the depths of the Demonic Abyss to kill again.
However, he still tried hard to calm down his emotions, and then calmly said to Xu Taiping outside the bronze door:
"Taiping, don't worry about dealing with the calamity of Taixu. Our master and disciple still have a long way to go."
"If the Five Elders' calculations are correct, the next outbreak of this Taixu Calamity will take at least five hundred years. We have enough time to prepare."
