The gray mist in the Tiandu Mountains was gradually dispersed by the brilliance of the morning sun.
Birds and beasts accustomed to the morning sun took over the leave of the night walkers and began to bloom with the beautiful brilliance of life.
The Tiandu Mountains in Xizhou stretch for hundreds of miles.
There are three peaks in the mountain.
One peak is more than a thousand feet high, and its body is as straight as a sword. It is blown by the strong wind all the year round, and it is as sharp as a sword. It is called: Tiandu Mountain Sword Peak.
One peak is rugged and steep, with difficult mountain roads, overgrown weeds, and aggressive beasts. It is extremely unyielding and domineering, so it is called Tiandu Mountain Dao Peak.
There is also a peak with inexhaustible weeds growing at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain road is steep and dangerous. There are many trees. Once you reach the mountainside, the mountain climbing road is no longer rugged. The mountain road becomes wider and flatter, and the scenery is beautiful. The land is fertile, the birds and animals are plump, and the waves are sparkling.
You can see many fish in the clear lake water. Further up the mountain, there is a flat peak that looks like it has been shaved by a sword. Whenever the sun rises, there is a faint golden light shining here.
This peak is the famous Tiandu Shenfeng in the Tiandu Mountains.
Whether it is Daofeng or Jianfeng, they are actually branch peaks extending from Tiandu Peak. The climbing method only exists on the mountainside of Tiandu Shenfeng.
This is where the Sword Sect, one of the thirty-six sects, is located.
The entire Tiandu Mountains are the dojo of the Sword Sect.
The training methods of Tianjian Sect are different from those of other sects.
Before officially becoming an inner sect disciple, whether an outer sect disciple or a handyman disciple, etc., they can only live at the top of the Tiandu Divine Peak since they join the Sword Sect.
Otherwise, he will be expelled from the sect, or in severe cases, he will be punished by punishment.
After being promoted from the outer sect to the inner sect, before entering the door, they can only be regarded as ordinary inner sect disciples. They live in the mountain forest on the mountainside behind the divine peak of Tiandu Mountain - the mountain forest goes deeper and leads to the mountain roads leading to Dao Peak and Sword Peak respectively.
Only those inner disciples who have undergone strict training, screening, and review can choose to join the Sword Clan or the Sword Clan. After that, they will live in one of the Sword Peak or the Sword Peak based on their choice of entry.
The front mountainside of Tiandu Shenfeng, which is the only mountainside leading up to the mountain, is where the Sword Sect's facade is located: the sect's main hall, the elder's courtyard, the master's courtyard, guest rooms, and a series of residences for high-level people and foreign guests.
They all gather here.
On the rugged mountain road from the midway of the front mountain to the foot of the mountain, the founder of the sword sect used his great supernatural powers to imitate the "Sword Asking Road" of Wanjian Tower and created the "Sword, Light, Sword, Shadow and Heart" created by the founder of the sword sect.
It is an important place that must be cultivated after reaching Yunling Realm.
Only by holding the corresponding door command can the various visions on this mountain road be activated: either the sword energy tempers the body, or the sword energy cleanses the heart. As the cultivation level gradually increases, the corresponding illusions will be more powerful.
Experience - this is where Sword Sect disciples hone their martial arts and spirit, and it is also the best place to gain insights into their own martial arts.
Just like in the past.
When the morning sun rose, dozens of Sword Sect disciples came down from the mountain.
The cultivation levels of these people are generally at the sixth level of Yunling Realm, and there are also several monks who have reached the Life Realm and Soul Condensing Realm.
"The Light of the Sword, the Shadow of the Sword, and the Questioning of the Mind" can be regarded as a good training ground for monks who have not yet broken through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, especially for monks in the Life Realm, its value is the greatest. For monks in the Soul Condensing Realm,
In other words, the value is much smaller, leaving only the usefulness of insights and heart seals; as for Yunling realm monks, it allows them to adapt to the various visions of this mountain road in advance and lay the foundation for future achievements.
But today, although the disciples of the Sword Sect began to spontaneously come to the foot of the mountain as usual, preparing to go through the "Swords, Lights, Swords and Shadows", they were not as calm as before. Instead, most of them had doubts and confusion on their faces.
look.
"Senior brother, has something happened recently?"
Finally, someone couldn't help it and asked the only senior brother in the Soul Condensing Realm.
"Yes, I seem to have seen the elders look ugly yesterday, and the leader also had a solemn look on his face."
The Soul Condensing Realm monk glanced at the expressions of the many junior brothers and sisters, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Something happened to the team that went to participate in the Tianyuan Trial."
"What?" someone exclaimed.
"Keep your voice down!" The Soul Condensing Realm monk hurriedly shouted, "The sect has not disclosed this matter yet. I also heard it from my senior brother. Just listen to it. Don't tell it.
Otherwise, it may implicate senior brother."
Upon hearing the name "Elder Senior Brother", these Sword Sect disciples nodded cautiously.
For the disciples of the Sword and Sword Sect, their senior brother is not only outstanding in talent, but also courteous, gentle, and caring to his junior brothers and sisters. Almost no one in the Sword and Sword Sect dislikes this senior brother.
So if this matter would involve the senior brother, then they would naturally have to be much more cautious.
"The team that went to Tianyuan for the trial this time was led by Junior Brother Yang Qi. How could something happen?" Someone expressed their doubts.
"Is it another trouble caused by the descendants of Taiyi Valley?" Someone answered.
Others were immediately filled with indignation.
The Soul Condensing Realm monk looked at these junior brothers and sisters and couldn't help but sigh.
Different from these people, although he is not a core disciple of the sect or a direct disciple, but because the senior brother is kind and willing to share some information that is not a secret of the sect with others, he can naturally get in touch with more people due to his cultivation.
Much message content.
Among them, it also includes the truth about this Tianyuan trial.
During this Tianyuan trial, the theory of the cave is no longer a rumor, but news that can be confirmed. Even the sects with a little bit of ability have found out more news about the cave in the secret territory of Tianyuan, such as their
The Sword Sect has mastered the locations of several possible ruins within the Tianyuan Secret Area at a great cost, so the entire sect has great hopes for this.
Wanshilou probably also knew the practices of these sects, so it temporarily changed the rules of the trial and randomly arranged the destination.
Originally everything should have been going very smoothly.
But no one expected that things would actually deteriorate like this - it was only at this moment that the Sword Sect finally realized what the divination "yin covers yang, yang creates yin" in the divination results meant: the danger would be far greater.
It is difficult to gain anything, and if it is not handled well, there may even be no gain at all.
It's a pity that the Sword Sect has realized this now, and it's too late.
They just thought that if it was not handled properly, great danger would probably occur.
However, in accordance with the principle of coexistence of danger and opportunity, the Sword Sect will arrange for Yang Qi, a stable player who prioritizes the sect's interests in everything, to lead the team.
But in the end, it was precisely because Yang Qi cared too much about the sect's gains and was unwilling to share the gains with others that he caused the trouble later.
It's just that these things involve some secrets and arrangements of the sect, so he can't speak too clearly.
The eldest brother is gentle and gentle, and treats others with humility. How can the person who can become their eldest brother be a fool?
Naturally, every word has a profound meaning.
He couldn't figure out the true meaning of the senior brother, but at least he knew that the reason why the senior brother told them this was to let them publicize and build momentum to other junior brothers and sisters, so that they could prepare for any emergencies that might arise in the Sword Sect in the future.
Psychological preparation - or to put it more bluntly, it is to shift the blame and put all the responsibilities on the dead Junior Brother Yang Qi.
"...How come these scourges in Taiyi Valley haven't died out yet and are still causing harm to the Xuan Realm!"
The Soul Condensing Realm monk didn't know what the junior brothers and sisters below were discussing, but when he suddenly heard these words, he woke up instantly.
"That's right!" Someone else shouted, "Every time a descendant of Taiyi Valley goes to Tianyuan Secret Realm, nothing good has ever happened. A hundred years ago, all the people in the secret realm died, and only the descendants of Taiyi Valley left alive. Later, Wanshilou said
It was an accident. Do you believe it when encountering a catastrophic event in the Tianyuan Secret Realm?"
"Of course I don't believe it!"
"That's right! How can there be such a coincidence! And everyone is dead, only the descendant of Taiyi Valley is not dead."
"Okay, okay, about this matter..." The Soul Condensing Realm monk spoke slowly, and was about to stop the discussion between the junior brothers and sisters, but a cold air suddenly hit him, "Who is it?"
Turning around suddenly, he saw a beautiful and tall young woman walking slowly.
The moment they saw this woman, almost all the Sword Sect disciples couldn't help but have a word pop up in their minds.
Banish immortals.
They could not use any words to describe the woman in front of them, because subconsciously it seemed that all the words and words had become extremely pale.
"Who are you?" The Soul Condensing Realm monk asked again, but his voice was much softer subconsciously.
Although monks from outside are not allowed to enter the Tiandu Mountains where the Sword Sect is located, and even ordinary villagers occasionally go into the mountains to hunt and pick wild vegetables, without the guidance of Sword Sect disciples, it is absolutely impossible to find the location of their mountain gate. After all, their Sword Sect's
The mountain-protecting formation contains an illusion formation, which is enough to distort the perception of monks below the Earthly Fairyland, making it impossible for them to approach the Sword Sect's mountain gate.
However, this is not absolute.
Occasionally, there will still be some people who get lost within the influence of the phantom array and end up at the mountain gate of the Sword Sect after wandering around. This is also the reason why there are rumors that there are gods in the Tiandu Mountains.
That’s why this Soul Condensing Realm monk asked this question.
"Me?" The stunning woman smiled sweetly, "I am the person you just discussed."
"Just discussed..."
Everyone looked confused.
But soon, they reacted.
The only topic they discussed just now was the matter of Taiyi Valley, and the only person they really mentioned was the descendant of Taiyi Valley who entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm a hundred years ago, but she was the only one to leave alive!
"You are..." The Soul Condensing Realm monk was horrified, "How could you have come in! The mountain protection formation..."
"I've been talking about it for three days."
"What?" Everyone was puzzled.
The woman did not say anything, but smiled slightly: "Excuse me, Song Nana from Taiyi Valley has come to visit the Sword Sect on behalf of Taiyi Valley."
Hearing a woman announce her name was a matter of etiquette in the occult world, but no one present dared to move.
It was as if the woman standing in front of them was some kind of wild beast.
The young woman tilted her head and looked at the Sword Sect disciples in front of her with confusion: "Why don't you go and report it?...Then I will climb the mountain by myself."
After saying that, ignoring what these people thought, Song Nana turned around and started walking towards the mountain road of Sword Sect.
"Wait a minute!" The Soul Condensing Realm monk was shocked and subconsciously wanted to intercept Song Nana.
"Be careful." Song Nana chuckled.
This Soul Condensing Realm monk was confused and couldn't understand why Song Nana was suddenly on the mountain climbing road. And because he wanted to stop Song Nana, he inevitably set foot on the mountain road. Then he heard Song Nana's voice.
He chuckled and asked subconsciously: "What?"
"Your seal is dark, and I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble today. You may not die, but a serious illness is inevitable."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The Soul Condensing Realm monk was furious, and then subconsciously took another step.
Song Nana once again had a smile on her face, bending down and jumping back lightly, showing her naughty innocence, romantic nature.
The soul-condensing monk's face turned red and he felt that he had been severely humiliated, so he wanted to pursue him again.
"Senior brother!" But at this moment, the exclamations of junior brothers and sisters came from behind, "Your order!"
The Soul Condensing Realm monk subconsciously looked down, but was shocked to find that he had actually activated the command "Sword, Light, Sword, Shadow to Ask the Mind" without knowing when.
Gate order, mountain road.
Great calamity, serious illness.
A series of nouns suddenly jumped out of the monk's mind.
At this moment, the monk's face suddenly turned pale.
Then, the disciples of the Sword Sect saw that their senior brother had fallen into the phantom experience of "the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword asking the mind."
They know very well that if they want to hone themselves through this spiritual path, they must keep their minds calm, otherwise they will easily breed inner demons.
And their senior brother...
Seeing him trembling violently like an epilepsy at this moment, and even starting to foam at the mouth, everyone looked at Song Nana again, their eyes filled with fear.
"I reminded him, it's none of my business." Song Nana looked innocent.
"The Demon Queen of Taiyi Valley is herself, so why bother to embarrass this junior?"
A vast and unpredictable sound came from the divine peak.
Song Nana curled her lips, with a look of grievance on her face: "Senior, what you are saying is that I am only in the Soul Condensing Realm, how can he be a junior?"
"Your Excellency Enchantress is joking." The voice sounded again, "Everyone in the mysterious world knows that Wanshilou's comment asserts that the cultivation level of Your Excellency Enchantress cannot be judged as a normal level, and it is natural to take a few high glances."
"Alas." Song Nana sighed softly.
There are people in Wanshilou who are good friends with Taiyigu, such as Inuyasha, He Qi, Bai Wen and others.
Naturally, there are also people who are sincere in their praise of Taiyigu, such as Cui Cheng, Gu Buhui, etc.
Ye Yan, the blind Taoist, is the true neutral faction of Wanshilou, impartial and unbiased.
Song Nana's assertion was written by Ye Yan.
"This child's talent in magic is unheard of in ancient and modern times. He is almost like a demon. A great opportunity has come to him, but there are many causes and effects involved, so it cannot be achieved in an ordinary way."
After a soft sigh, the surrounding scenery changed, and Song Nana had arrived in front of the mountain gate of Sword Sect.
Here, stood a dozen monks with an aura as powerful as mountains and abyss.
The first one was wearing a green shirt and long robe, carrying a sword on his shoulder, with a Chinese character face, a beard, and an air of calmness and authority.
The contemporary head of the Sword Sect and sword wielder. Guo Yu.
There are rumors that he is the younger brother of Cui Cheng, the Heavenly Sword and Earth Sword of Wanshilou. However, it is said that the previous head of the Sword Sect did not pass the position of master to Cui Cheng, which caused a rift between Cui Cheng and Guo Yu, so Cui Cheng later left the sword.
Zong, went to Wanshilou.
But regardless of whether the facts are true or not, Song Nana knows very well that Guo Yu's strength is by no means inferior to Cui Cheng.
"Small world has changed, your sword sect's mountain protection formation is really fully functional." Song Nana chuckled, "But it's a pity that it can only be used once."
"It turns out it's the golden rule of a witch like you!" An old man standing behind Guo Yu shouted angrily, "I wonder why the mountain guarding formation suddenly failed last night, causing the illusory formation to lose its effect. It turns out it was
You are coming today."
"Your mountain protection formation has been in disrepair for a long time, and you have problems yourself. How can you blame me?" Song Nana looked innocent, "If I were really that powerful, wouldn't it be even worse if I just said that your Sword Sect was going to be exterminated?
good?"
"presumptuous!"
More than a dozen angry shouts sounded out one after another.
Agitated by this momentum, for a while, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder was rolling.
"Do you want to attack me here?" Song Nana blinked and looked at these Daoji realm experts with an innocent face, "Aren't you afraid that so many seniors would bully me, a junior in the Soul Condensation realm?
Will spreading the word harm the reputation of your Sword Sect?"
"If I can kill you, the witch, the whole world of Xuan will be happy!" Someone yelled angrily.
But the speaker was unintentional, while the listener was intentional, and many people around him clearly showed signs of being ready to move.
"Jingxin!" Guo Yu finally spoke, "Do you want to destroy the mountain gate?"
Just a simple sentence, but it made other people present suddenly shocked and became calm.
Just the aura erupted by so many of their Daoji realm powerhouses has already changed the color of the world. If anyone really dares to take action at this moment, he is afraid that if he is aroused by this aura, a thunder disaster will occur in an instant.
By then, the Sword Sect will probably suffer heavy casualties.
Wanting to understand this, many of these powerful monks began to examine themselves as to why they were so easily stimulated and their moods were affected.
After understanding the situation, many of them showed signs of horror, and looked at Song Nana with particularly serious eyes.
"Alas." Seeing this scene, Song Nana sighed softly.
"We Ming people don't tell secret words. Others don't know. Don't we still know Miss Song's golden rules?" Guo Yu said in a deep voice, "Every golden rule needs to be based on your own longevity."
The price, regardless of success or failure. When facing people with stronger cultivation levels, the effect of your golden rules will be weaker. After all, this is just using words to leverage a trace of cause and effect, rather than truly turning the imaginary into reality... it involves
The more causes and effects, the weaker the effect of your Golden Rule, but the greater the longevity you need to pay."
"How do you know it's not true?" Song Nana chuckled.
"Because the core of our Sword Sect is also the way of virtuality and reality."
Hearing this, Song Nana, who had an innocent smile on her face, began to calm down.
Although the impression is still like the return of the banished immortal.
But contrary to the sentimental feeling she gave people before, Song Nana now looks like a heartless person embarking on the road of ruthlessness.
"Indeed." Song Nana nodded slightly, "But do you really think that just by relying on the Golden Rule, I will come alone?"
Guo Yu frowned slightly.
He knew that Song Nana had the Jade Rule, and he found it out at a great cost. This was also the news that he immediately ordered to inquire after the incident in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. It was only the outside world's understanding of the Jade Rule.
There are really too few. In addition, Song Nana's whereabouts are unpredictable and she is rarely exposed in the Xuan Realm. Therefore, naturally no one knows any useful information about this disciple of Taiyi Valley.
Even the Wanshi Tower is poorly understood.
But as the leader of a sect, Guo Yu naturally cannot expose his lack of knowledge about Song Nana at this time.
"Of course I knew more, so I didn't take action to arrest him." Guo Yu said, "I didn't want to offend Valley Master Huang. After all, four hundred years ago, he tried his sword to test the true essence, and it is still a legend in the mysterious world...
…This time, it is indeed our Sword Sect that has a problem, so we are willing to give you Taiyi Valley appropriate compensation."
Having said this, Guo Yu pondered for a moment, and then slowly said as if he had made a decision: "As long as the request is not too excessive, we can agree to it."
"metropolitan!"
"Head!"
Hearing Guo Yu's words, the elders were shocked.
Why did you suddenly give up the initiative?
This is different from the result they discussed before.
Looking at the faces of these people, Song Nana sneered: "Do you really think we in Taiyi Valley care about your vulgar things?"
"Then what do you want?"
"The mountain has been closed for ten years." Song Nana said calmly.
"Arrogant!"
"Ignorant child!"
"court death!"
A series of shouts and curses came and went.
Even Guo Yu looked extremely ugly: "Don't you think this request is too much?"
"Too much?" Song Nana smiled, and in an instant, there was a feeling of snow melting away and spring returning to the earth. "If my senior sister hadn't asked you to close the mountain, I could have sneaked into your Sword Sect, and your Sword Sect would have been there in less than ten years.
"It's up to me." Song Nana looked calm and simply stated.
Guo Yu's expression became colder and his aura became more solemn.
Unlike other senior elders, as the head of the Sword Sect, he was completely confident that he could completely restrain his energy and take action without triggering a thunderstorm.
only……
"Sword Sect's mountain gate plaque..."
"How dare you!" Guo Yu looked angry, finally no longer hesitating, and approached Song Nana with a single step.
He did not draw his sword, but raised his right palm, and all his momentum was contained in his palm.
With his current level of cultivation, he could only deal with Song Nana, who was only in the Soul Condensation Realm. He didn't need to use magic weapons at all. She could just beat her to death with her palm strength.
But……
Guo Yu's palm, which could split mountains and rivers, passed straight through Song Nana's body as if it was hitting the void.
"Turning reality into fiction..." Guo Yu's face showed a look of astonishment, "It's so close to the end of the world!"
Song Nana didn't even look at the palm that passed through her body. She still looked ahead and said slowly: "...It's time to change it."
The next moment, Song Nana's face suddenly turned pale, and her left eye was instantly bloodshot, and blood flowed out of her eye socket like tears of blood. Blood also slowly flowed out of her nose, corners of her mouth, and left ear. Five of the seven holes were bleeding!
Immediately afterwards, everyone only heard a soft "click" sound.
The next moment, the "Sword Sect" mountain gate plaque written by the founder of the Sword Sect was shattered on the spot!
"you!"
Song Nana slowly turned her head, like a god above the nine heavens, looking at Guo Yu coldly and without the slightest emotion: "Either the mountain is closed for ten years, or I am here today to reverse the cause and effect and destroy the future fortune and foundation of your Sword Sect.
, all of them broke out within these ten years, and ten years later... there will be no Sword Sect in the Xuan Realm!"
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Guo Yu roared angrily, "If the cause and effect is reversed, you will never be able to enter reincarnation again, and your soul will be lost from now on! Is it worth it?"
"You don't understand." Song Nana suddenly smiled. Even though her face was covered in blood, it didn't make people feel ferocious or terrifying. Instead, it had a kind of sadness that made people reluctant to leave. "Taiyi Valley has never been worth it.
I can only think about it... I dare to say that I will have no regrets in this life and enter Taiyi. What about you? Do you dare to say that I will have no regrets in this life and enter the Sword Sect? I am willing to become a Taoist with my own body and achieve the Tao of Taiyi, not my Tao. What about you?
Do you dare to achieve the Tao of the Sword Sect instead of your own Tao and your own name?"
"Why?"
Why?
Song Nana's thoughts were a little vague.
…
On the wild land, a beautiful shadow blocked the galloping beasts.
Her black hair is flying and her posture is straight.
Behind this figure that seemed to stand tall on the sky was a young child.
"Senior sister, why?"
"Because you are the last survivor of our village, the inheritance of fire. If you live, our tribe will always be there."
"But I...can't learn martial arts."
"The inheritance of the tribe is not just... martial arts."
"Senior sister..."
"I am your senior sister, and I will protect you. I will have no regrets in this life."
…
In the dark cave, someone accidentally touched the trap, and dense arrows were fired.
The girl was pushed away by the gentle wind of the palm, and could only watch helplessly as a beautiful figure was shot through by countless arrows in an instant.
Blood dyed the white clothes red.
"Sister!"
"Stay alive and get out."
"Senior sister! It shouldn't be yours, I don't know sword skills, I..."
"Call me Senior Sister, and I will protect you."
"Senior sister..."
"Senior sister protects junior sister. It is only natural and right. I will have no regrets in this life."
…
"Sister, I'm so stupid, I can't learn anything."
"It doesn't matter, we in Taiyi Valley have everything. We don't know how to do alchemy, but also forging, formations, and beast control. If these don't work, there are also swordsmanship, fists, and other weapons. Even our relationship with Buddhism and Confucianism is not the same.
not bad."
"But what if I can't learn these things?"
"What's the matter? The senior sisters will feed you. Look at Master's salted fish, we've raised it so fat that you won't be hungry."
"Sister, why are you so nice to me? I obviously don't know anything..."
"Because you are my junior sister and a descendant of Taiyi Valley."
"But...but people outside say that I am a waste, that..."
"Who said you are useless? Just tell me and I will ask the second and third sons to go talk to each other."
"Senior Sister..."
"Senior sister protects junior sister, it is only natural and right."
…
That day, a man dressed in white fell from the sky with traces of blood.
"Give."
A lot of books and slips were thrown away carelessly.
"Master?"
"If you can't learn swordsmanship, martial arts, Buddhism, or Confucianism, then become a mage."
"Mage?"
"Taoist magic training. Yin and yang, five elements, divination, Shinto, there is always something suitable for you."
There was a roar in the sky.
There seemed to be countless people cursing.
"Didn't those lunatics from Wandao Palace just go to their library and borrow some books, and they're still chasing after them?"
"Master, you...robbed the library of Wandao Palace?"
"Why is it robbery? I said that I would return it to my disciples after they finish reading and learn how to do it. This is borrowing! They are still unwilling to forgive me, but they only hurt me a few times, so they really think that I am too easy to bully?
...You move the books back first, and wait for me to kill them, or beat them away... Wait for me to have a good communication with them, and then I will come back to teach you."
"Master..."
"Hey, what are you crying about? If there wasn't something wrong with my system, I wouldn't want to go to the Wandao Palace. There's nothing I can do about it. As a master, you can't think that you can't do anything, right?... A master teaches his disciples as a matter of course.
matter."
…
"Why?" Song Nana glanced sideways at Guo Yu and smiled, "Because I am a descendant of Taiyi Valley."
"Are you willing to waste five hundred years of your life for Taiyi Valley?"
"Didn't I say it? I will never regret entering Taiyi in this life."
Enter Taiyi without any regrets in this life.
It is only natural for a senior sister to protect her junior brother.
…
On this day, the Sword Sect closed the mountain for ten years.
