Three months later, nine thousand miles outside Jianqi City.
A man in black robes stood on a mountain peak and looked into the distance, his eyes gradually becoming focused.
In his pupils, there was a ray of light coming at a very fast speed.
This man in black is none other than Nanning, the lord of Jianqi City.
The air in all directions suddenly stopped, as if it was frozen. At this moment, a hand came out of the light and easily snatched away the sword from the waist of the Nanning City Lord.
A hand protruded from the light and reached towards the Nanning City Lord, aiming at the sword on his waist.
The Nanning City Lord's expression changed, his body moved, and he retreated a hundred meters away. However, even though he was immediately shocked, the handle hanging on his waist was still taken away.
This was the city lord of Jianqi City and the strongest swordsman in Jianqi City. However, even such a master of swordsmanship had his sword taken away easily.
The Nanning City Lord looked at the sword in his hand. He did not feel frightened. There was only helplessness in his eyes, and then he let out a long sigh. Facing that light, he clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.
"Disciple Nanning, pay homage to Master!"
As he finished speaking, the sword paused in mid-air, and then the light dissipated and returned to the waist of Nanning City Lord.
A white-haired old man slowly stepped out of the light. This old man was dressed simply, but the aura exuding from his body was as deep as the ocean.
This is Nanning City Lord’s master, Qiuye Begonia and Qiuye Sword Immortal! Not only is he a famous swordsman in the holy realm, but he is also the person he admires the most.
When he was at his most romantic, he once picked up begonia flowers with a sword, causing the flowers that originally fell on the twelfth day to last until November, just for the beauty to smile and become mandarin ducks, which became a legend in the world.
Even after tens of millions of years, this legend is still circulating in this world. It was also that sword that allowed Qiuye Sword Immortal to embark on his own way of swordsmanship and become a sword immortal for the rest of his life.
I am afraid that the monks in the city would not have thought that a real sword immortal would come to Sword Qi City.
Qiuye Haitang nodded slightly, her eyes fell on the disciple in front of her, and her face gradually softened.
"Ning'er, it has been seven hundred years since you came to this wilderness. In these seven hundred years, you have been able to advance from the middle stage of the Mahayana realm to the early stage of the Tribulation Realm. This makes me happy. However, I wonder if the swordsmanship has declined?"
For sword fanatics like them, their cultivation level can be reduced, but their swordsmanship is absolutely impossible! Only by being dedicated to the Tao, uniting the sword and man as soon as possible, and mastering the ten sword patterns, can the swordsmanship soar and become a sword immortal!
For them, cultivation is not very important. Even if you have Qi gathering cultivation, if you can reach the realm of the unity of man and sword and activate the Great Dao, you can immediately become an immortal. But this is just a theory. After all, swordsmanship still needs to be improved through cultivation.
"It has reached the state of transcendence and condensed nine sword patterns." The Lord of Nanning City said matter-of-factly.
"Hahaha, not bad! You are worthy of being my disciple of Qiuye Begonia." The old man said with a huge smile on his face, "Good disciple, I will give you a big gift! Go on!"
The Nanning City Lord was startled, and the next moment he saw three black shadows flying towards him.
"This is………"
After the Nanning City Lord saw what was coming clearly, his eyes and pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly retreated backwards. The three black shadows happened to fall at his feet.
These are actually three heads!
"Seven Swords City. The outer building...three elders." When the Nanning City Lord saw these three heads, his eyes suddenly shrank.
In the past three months, the ninth-level demon that caused a lot of uproar in Jianqi City was killed.
The matter was the work of these three people.
The monks in the early stage of transcending the tribulation can be regarded as top experts no matter which branch they are placed in the outer building. However, their heads are rolling in front of themselves.
The Nanning City Lord looked up at the old man in front of him, and then looked down at the three heads.
Each head and face is black, the pupils have dilated, and they still retain the fear of life.
I'm afraid they never thought they would die at the hands of the Sword Immortal!
"Why...is it so fragrant. Just like..." Nanning City Lord frowned.
"Just like...the roasted pig's trotters your wife used to make?" Qiuye Qiuhaitang paused and said with a smile.
"Yes... very similar. I even have the urge to eat these three heads. If I didn't know that I am definitely not this kind of monster, I would have doubted myself long ago." The Lord of Nanning shook his head and said: "It turns out that the legend This is the origin of the demons. No wonder it has fascinated many people. These three elders of the outer building went to the South Valley to kill the ninth-level monsters, trying to hide the truth about the demons. Instead, they were seen through by their master's wisdom. .”
"Haha, they wanted to conceal themselves, but they couldn't resist the temptation of flesh and blood, and massacred several small cities ten thousand miles away. If not, the master would not have noticed and killed the three of them."
"Then...over there in the outer building?"
After all, Haowailou is a first-class force in the Sword Domain, and even the Holy Domain lets it go its own way.
"The origin of the devil is the prohibition issued by the Sword Master." Qiuye Haitang shook his head and sneered, saying: "No one can touch that unwritten rule except the Sword Immortal. A mere humane monk dares to contaminate it without fear of being exposed. The source of invasion is really seeking death. Those sword immortals in the outer building didn't dare to say anything."
"What is this origin..." Nanning City Lord asked curiously.
"At the same time, it is possible to fall into the abyss. Once contaminated by this thing, humane monks cannot live without it." Qiuye Haitang lowered his head slightly and said: "As long as it is contaminated, if it is not replenished later, it will become inhumane Not ghosts, just like them."
"So... what about the great swordsman like Master?" The Nanning City Lord's eyes narrowed slightly. This extraterrestrial evil was no secret. Even the Sword Ancestor disappeared for many years and was rumored to be fighting outside the territory. But as for the origin of the demon, there are only rumors.
"Like me? It can be suppressed for the time being. In the past, in order to extend the life of your master against the will of heaven, I went to the outside world to find a chance of life, and finally forcibly extended my life for 330,000 years."
"..." Nanning City Lord was startled again.
In the past, the sword fairy Qiuye left a legend in the world with his sword Qiu Begonia, winning the heart of a beautiful woman and flying together with the woman in the story.
"Your master wife was originally just a mortal. Even if she changed her destiny for her as a master, she would only end up at the peak of tribulation. However, she did not want to grow old, and did not want to enter the world of mortals and become an old person. , even if she dies, she still wants to appear by my side with the most beautiful face." Qiuye Begonia's eyes were slightly sad, and she sighed: "Immortals and mortals are separated from each other after all. In order to continue her appearance, in order to continue her vitality, I have to go alone. That’s outside the territory.”
"…….."
The Lord of Nanning City was shocked. The beautiful and gentle lady was not an immortal!
That anecdote is so old that it has been rumored for hundreds of thousands of years, but Master has not mentioned it in detail. Even a monk who enters the mortal world and forcibly extends his life may not live for 300,000 years.
"Is this the origin of evil??? What is there outside the territory? It can actually turn decay into magic. This is really far better than any magical pill
Wonderful medicine. "The Nanning City Lord asked for the second time, which subverted his own understanding.
"It's vast there. It's also... dangerous everywhere. If possible, I don't want to go there again." Qiuye Haitang raised his head, with deep fear in his eyes, as if he had remembered something bad.
After a long time, Qiuye Begonia put her hand on her forehead and gently closed her eyes. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and his originally dark pupils turned gray.
"They are different from us. They not only exist because of their unique environment, nor do they only exist because they possess certain special powers. There is also a more important reason, that is... alive The body is very important to them." Qiuye Haitang looked at his disciple and said sincerely.
"Master...what do you mean by these words?" Nanning City Lord saw his master's gray eyes, his scalp suddenly became numb, and he took a step back. This is a cold and ruthless look, containing greed. It seems that if you don't pay attention for a moment, you will be swallowed up by it.
"Your talent for swordsmanship is far stronger than that of a teacher. You are destined to go outside the territory from now on. If you encounter such a person outside the territory in the future, please run away quickly!"
"The matter from outside the territory, Sword Ancestor once mentioned, they are the most powerful existences in the world. It is speculated that the origin of this demon is the spiritual wisdom bred in the world. Even the enlightenment of all things in the world is also Born here.”
"How is this possible!" Nanning City Lord was shocked again.
Since evil spirits are thirsty for blood and cannot bear the temptation of flesh and blood, how can they have the wisdom of heaven and earth?
"Why is it impossible?" Qiuye Haitang smiled and said: "The creation of heaven and earth means that life is immortal and immortal. Although human beings also possess vitality that is unimaginable by ordinary people, they cannot compete with spiritual wisdom. In comparison. They are the transformed form of all things, and the creation of heaven and earth is the ultimate form of all things."
As long as it is life, it cannot compete with heaven and earth.
"The creation of heaven and earth is naturally invincible. How can humans have a chance to compete with it? But..." Qiuye Haitang said: "There are also powerful people who speculate that they are not really transformed by spiritual intelligence, but just It was born for a special reason."
"Master, you...you mean..." Nanning City Lord held his breath.
"They are conceived by heaven and earth, but they are not transformed by real spiritual wisdom. These are all a kind of "instinct", or... these are some kind of twisted will. The origin of this demon is caused by that The distorted will gives consciousness, and then the intelligence arises, and then you have your own way of thinking, action, and even emotions, which are all found in high-level demons."
"Once that origin comes to the human world, it will definitely be a catastrophe. The only way is for a powerful person in the Xuan Realm who can control its own rules to go there and destroy it with the power of his own light and sun."
"So...we and other powerful people in the Xuan Realm have chosen to merge with this source! This power can make ourselves stronger and stronger, and one day will last for a thousand years."
"However, you may also pay a huge price. If there is only the last trace of spiritual wisdom left in the end. This origin will come back and give the origin a new life. From now on, I will no longer be me. Soon... your master wife... will also no longer be It’s your master’s wife. I will return her to the sea of stars.” Qiuye Begonia said bitterly, as if there was only twilight left in her body.
"Seize the house?" Nanning City Lord was shocked.
"Seize the body? You can also say..." Qiuye Begonia raised her head slightly, and the gray in her pupils gradually disappeared.
"At that time... I am afraid that my master will also be unable to hold on at that moment."
