Five years later.
Huangyun Tiangong.
In the main hall, Palace Master Huangyun was discussing matters with the six peak masters.
"The fighting on the frontline is intense and the equipment is severely damaged. The gods require us to build a batch of weapons and armor as soon as possible." The master of Huangyun Palace said.
"Leave this to us at Canghe Peak." A peak leader said.
Canghe Peak specializes in the six arts, and is responsible for all weapon refining matters.
Palace Master Huangyun nodded and said: "That's good. In addition, we have received information that the ancient world has recently sent a group of ghost soul demons. In order to prevent them from sneaking into our position, our music monks will go into battle to supervise the battle."
Everyone looked at a girl.
The girl was sitting cross-legged on a chair, holding a green jade flute in her hand.
She is none other than the master of Miaoyin Peak, Luo Binli.
When new people entered the sect, she was the female cultivator who stood on the top of the mountain and played the flute to break the demons.
Luo Binli smiled and said: "No problem, leave this matter to me."
Palace Master Huangyun asked: "How many people are you planning to bring?"
Luo Bingli muttered: "It's almost enough to bring five people with us."
Palace Master Huang Yun shook his head and said: "The number of music monks is rare and it is rare to cultivate one. Don't bring too many people with you."
Luo Binli said: "Then I will only take two people with me."
Palace Master Huangyun nodded,
He then looked at a monk beside him and warned: "Master Qiyun Peak, you personally bring a group of people with Master Miaoyin Peak to be responsible for protecting their safety."
The monk grinned: "Don't worry, Palace Master, I will bring a group of the strongest sword cultivators and swordsmen, and also select some experts with outstanding spears and spears."
Palace Master Huangyun asked: "How many people are you planning to bring?"
"Two hundred people." Qiyun Peak Master said.
"Well, two hundred people are enough. We must protect them."
"As commanded."
Palace Master Huangyun stood up and said to all the peak masters: "Okay, if there is nothing else, today's discussion will end here."
Several peak masters stood up and looked at each other.
The Master of Bishui Peak said: "Palace Master, there is one more thing."
"Oh? Tell me." Palace Master Huangyun said.
"It's like this. It's been five years since the last batch of newcomers started. We have organized four competitions. The end of this year has come, and we are preparing to organize the fifth competition." Bishui Peak said.
"Isn't this an annual practice?" Palace Master Huangyun asked.
"The main reason is that there have been some bad discussions about the main peak from various peaks recently." said the leader of Bishui Peak.
There are seven peaks on the river, six of which surround the main peak.
The main peak is the peak where the Lord of Huangyun Palace is located.
All the sect’s important classics, inherited treasures, and roads to heaven are all located on this peak.
"Discussing the main peak?" Palace Master Huangyun gradually frowned and said solemnly: "Please tell me specifically what it is about."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that everyone feels that the disciple that the sect leader has accepted has not participated in any competitions for four consecutive years since he started, and he has never participated in any activities, so there is a lot of discussion." The master of Bishui Peak said.
Peak Master Gu Xia added: "The boys on our peak are always clamoring to compete with the disciples of the sect leader - regardless of winning or losing, Palace Master, you still have to bring your disciples to show up when you have time to set the record straight. "
Palace Master Huangyun's expression softened.
It turned out to be this.
He asked: "Gu Qingshan still hasn't signed up for this year's competition?"
The Master of Bishui Peak said: "That's exactly what happened, so the monks of the same generation were all murmuring, wondering why the head disciple always hides and never shows up."
Guxia Peak Master said: "Palace Master, please let Gu Qingshan come and fight once, lest those guys don't say anything but have opinions about the main peak in their hearts."
Palace Master Huangyun said: "I'll ask him, but I can't guarantee the outcome."
He suddenly laughed and said: "As for those discussions, alas, they are still a group of children and will not have any impact on the main peak. You don't need to take it to heart."
After saying that, the Lord of Huangyun Palace waved his sleeves and disappeared from the main hall.
Several peak masters looked at each other.
"The palace master can't even let that kid come out for a fight?" Master Lingying asked curiously.
Peak Master Gu Xia shook his head and said: "According to me, the Palace Master dotes on his disciple too much. In fact, he should come out to have more contact with his peers and exchange feelings through competitions, so that everyone will recognize that boy's status."
Several other peak masters nodded in sympathy.
"Do you think it hasn't happened?" Luo Bingli, the master of Miaoyin Peak, said, "I am responsible for monitoring the situation of the sect. I have seen Gu Qingshan enter and leave Canghe Peak several times. At that time, many disciples chased him and wanted to learn from him. , were all rejected.”
All the peak masters were stunned.
He refused!
In a competition between disciples, no one would refuse unless their cultivation levels were too far apart.
Once someone refuses to compete, it will be considered cowardly.
Besides, this kind of battle is also the moment when the strong become famous.
As they continued to think about it, the peak masters couldn't help but frown.
That boy was the first disciple accepted by the sect leader, and his identity was naturally the eldest disciple of the sect.
Regardless of his strength and character, as long as that boy is in this position, he represents all the disciples of the sect.
With such a status, even if one is not good at cultivation, he should come out early to follow the palace master and participate in handling various affairs in order to hone his talents and abilities and accumulate fame.
But since he started, the boy has rarely shown up.
The few times that we all know he appeared, the boy went directly to Canghe Peak's classics room and stayed for a long time.
According to the records in the classics room, he indeed borrowed a lot of jade slips from classics such as spiritual food and magic circles.
He was holding the jade plate of the sect master, and no one could stop him.
——But as a disciple who has just joined the sect, is it really okay to not practice swordsmanship properly and be distracted by doing other things?
The palace master indulges him too much.
Peak Master Lingying said in deep thought: "It seems that we still have to find an opportunity to persuade the Palace Master. After all, his eldest disciple represents the face of the sect and also represents the sect's attitude towards cultivating its disciples."
"right."
"That's how it should be."
"We'll talk to the palace master next time."
Several other peak masters agreed.
…
The main peak of Huangyun.
Huangyun Palace Master Xie Guhong has returned.
He walked on the stone path leading to the top of the mountain.
This will make him feel relaxed.
——Every time after discussing something, he likes to walk like this for a short while.
Suddenly he stopped and looked up at the sky.
Snowflakes fell one after another.
It’s the end of another year.
It hasn't been an easy year, however.
On the front line, there are more and more weird monsters, and they are getting stronger and stronger, and there are even existences that are almost invincible.
Even the gods were a little afraid of that monster.
——Although this cannot be said publicly, Xie Guhong believes that the top monks have already noticed it.
That battle was brutal.
Nearly ten great monks were killed in one battle, and the human race fought hard almost at the cost of their lives before finally killing the monster.
Yes, the human race is getting stronger and stronger.
But the crisis is also expanding silently.
Xie Guhong sighed.
The war on the front line, the urging of the gods, and the various affairs of the sect all required him to concentrate on facing them.
He stretched out his hand and caught a snowflake.
When will he die on the front line?
Suddenly, he remembered the incident mentioned by the peak leaders during today's discussion.
"Qingshan..."
Xie Guhong murmured and disappeared from the place.
Deep in the main peak of Huangyun.
Jian Yuan.
All the sword canons collected by the entire sect are gathered here.
A young man is sitting among the mountains and seas of jade slips, holding a jade slip in his hand, quietly comprehending its mystery.
Gu Qingshan.
His whole body seemed to have entered a state of selflessness.
In the void opposite him, Xie Guhong appeared.
Xie Guhong waited for a while, and then coughed helplessly when he saw that Gu Qingshan didn't move at all.
Gu Qingshan felt it immediately.
He opened his eyes.
"Master is here." He stood up and said with clasped fists.
"Well, how is your practice recently?" Xie Guhong asked.
"Everything is fine." Gu Qingshan said.
Xie Guhong said tentatively: "Master, I suddenly remembered something - you have been in the sect for five years, and it seems that you have never sparred with anyone?"
"Yes." Gu Qingshan nodded.
Xie Guhong asked: "Why don't you fight with others?"
Gu Qingshan was puzzled and replied: "Those seniors who have too high cultivation levels cannot be defeated by my current strength."
Xie Guhong said: "To be a teacher refers to one's peers."
Gu Qingshan said: "That's too boring. After all, Tiandao didn't say anything. This proves that I am still number one, so fighting them is just a waste of time."
Xie Guhong was speechless.
This kid once made a heavenly oath. Once he is no longer the number one sword cultivator, he will immediately abolish his cultivation and quit the sect.
He stayed here well.
Even Tiandao is proving his strength.
Xie Guhong coughed lightly and said, "Well... would you consider participating in this year's competition?"
Gu Qingshan hesitated and said: "Master, if I go up, won't it be too shocking?"
Xie Guhong raised his eyebrows.
This kid...
Xie Guhong stood still, but there were seven long swords floating in the air behind him.
Xie Guhong took a sword from behind.
"Come, let me see how far you have reached as the number one sword cultivator among the disciples of this generation."
"Okay, please give me some advice, Master."
Gu Qingshan also took out a sword.
He didn't even salute, and rushed forward in a flash.
——Gu Qingshan can’t wait to receive personal guidance from a sword cultivator who transcends the gods.
The first move is to kill!
The long sword was divided into two, and then divided into six. In an instant, it turned into thirty-six swords, which split into shadows and turned into light, slashing Xie Guhong directly!
——Gu Qingshan integrated the superb swordsmanship he had learned in the past five years with his own secret sword, coupled with all his fighting experience, he went all out to thrust out this sword.
Xie Guhong's eyes lit up.
"Only five years..." he murmured.
The long sword waved.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!
He waved the sword lightly, and all the sword light was knocked away.
"die!"
Gu Qingshan suddenly appeared in front of him, and the long sword in his hand disappeared along with half of his body.
This sword is so fast that the edge is almost invisible!
when!
There was a loud noise.
Gu Qingshan was knocked away with his sword.
He did a few somersaults in the air and stood ten feet away.
"okay."
Xie Guhong let go of his sword.
Gu Qingshan could only sheath his sword angrily.
He still wants to fight.
But the master has sheathed his sword, that means he won’t fight anymore.
Gu Qingshan looked at the seven swords behind Xie Guhong and asked seriously: "Master, have you surpassed the realm of sword immortal?"
Xie Guhong nodded.
Gu Qingshan asked in confusion: "But why do you only have seven flying swords? Ordinarily, with your strength and mind-controlled swords, you can handle hundreds of swords."
Xie Guhong said: "In the past, when I became a Sword Immortal, I carried one thousand nine hundred and fifty-four flying swords. But after I surpassed the Sword Immortal realm, until now, I only use seven flying swords."
"how so?"
"Because when you can completely unleash the power of the flying sword, you have to start thinking about how to restrain its power."
"Restrain?" Gu Qingshan murmured.
He suddenly remembered that Ilia seemed to have said similar words to him when they were discussing with him in the world of the undersea survivors.
Xie Guhong said: "Yes, it is more difficult to close than to let go. When you can gather all the power and turn it into a sword and explode it, that will be the time for your swordsmanship to reach its peak."
"So Master made the Seven Swords?"
"No, I once used it as one sword, but now I have reached another level, so it is seven swords."
Gu Qingshan listened with admiration and fascination.
Seeing the expression on his face, Xie Guhong laughed and said, "Okay, your progress is already amazing, don't envy me."
"Yes, Master."
"Continue practicing, I'm going out first."
"good."
Xie Guhong put away the seven swords behind him and walked slowly outside.
Halfway through, he seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped.
He turned to Gu Qingshan and warned: "Don't go out to attack people within three years. After three years, I will give you a position. You go to Qiyun Peak to teach people how to use the sword."
"...I obey, Master."
