"Let nature take its course. As long as I can live in peace, I will be satisfied." Before Gongsun Wuliang solved the problem of not being able to practice for him, Lu Yunyou could think that his biggest wish in life was to get rid of the reputation of trash and live openly and honestly. This desire to live seems to have never changed. As for other things, he really doesn't have many ideas.
"Okay," received Lu Yunyou's response again. Ling Yun couldn't explain how he felt, because most of the people he knew had the desire to become strong. Lu Yunyou seemed to be very different from them, but everyone had their own ambitions. He could set goals for himself, but he couldn't set goals for Lu Yunyou. After thinking about the difference between the two of them, he looked at the three characters "Jian Feixian" again.
At the same time, Lu Yunyou also looked at the three big characters again. The traces of erosion over time were too obvious. Out of curiosity, he asked Ling Yun again: "When did Sword Emperor Cliff appear?"
"About a thousand years ago."
"Thousands of years ago?" Lu Yunyou exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face. When he looked at those majestic fonts, he felt even more extraordinary.
"Let's go." After answering Lu Yunyou's question, Ling Yun directly looked away from the cliff, then turned around and reminded Lu Yunyou: "It's getting late, let's go find a place nearby to rest for the night."
"Well," seeing that Ling Yun was planning to leave, Lu Yunyou, who didn't have much idea after taking another look at Sword Emperor Cliff, left directly with Ling Yun.
On the way forward, the two of them looked back from time to time to look at the peaks of different heights, which were like walls surrounding the mountains. Among those peaks, Sword Emperor Cliff was undoubtedly the tallest.
After a while, an endless stretch of woods appeared in front of them. As far as the eye could see, it was green and green without any sign of depression.
Moving forward, the terrain gradually became gentle, and there was no longer the tired feeling of climbing over mountains and ridges. Compared with before, the two of them walked much more briskly.
Although they had taken a lot of detours in order to distance themselves from the convoy, relatively speaking, after leaving the mountain, the two of them were not far behind the convoy. If they walked faster, they would most likely arrive at Dilong City before the convoy.
"Ling Yun, how powerful is that Sword Emperor?" On the way, Lu Yunyou kept thinking about the question Ling Yun asked him before. After repeated pondering, he finally understood that Ling Yun was asking him if he wanted to make a breakthrough in the future. as.
"I heard Uncle Hong say before that the Sword Emperor is a martial arts wizard who is rare to see in ten thousand years. Although he was born in a humble family, he is extremely talented. At the age of ten, he already had the strength of the fifth level of the martial arts realm. His realm is far higher than that of martial arts of the same age. build."
"Later, before he reached the age of weak crown, he had already cultivated to the seventh level, and his swordsmanship reached its peak. There were even rumors that when he was still at the sixth level, he could fight three seventh-level martial arts cultivators at the same time without being defeated. No one can compare with it!”
"After Lord Sword Emperor became famous all over the world, it coincided with the period of great unification in the Central Territory. At that time, the situation in various places was extremely chaotic. War was raging and mourning was everywhere. For countless people in Central Territory who were living in suffering, Lord Sword Emperor was Like a red sun rising at the end of the night, it brings them warmth and hope."
"Sir Sword Emperor was originally from a small border country in the north without any background. However, after he chose to join the army, he showed his ability to lead troops far beyond ordinary people. He fought in the south and the north. In a few years, he attracted countless celebrities to join him. As the number of people under his command increased, he directly transformed from a legendary martial artist with no background to the overlord of a party."
"After taking power, the Sword Emperor, who cared about the world, recruited troops and expanded his territory in order to completely end the war in the whole region. Several armies under his command unified all the territories in the north in just three years. After that, he He led troops to conquer the southern countries and was victorious all the way. In more than ten years, the number of troops under his command has grown to millions of people, most of whom are elite soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. When he was thirty years old, he was named after his surname. The Sword Dynasty was officially established."
"After the establishment of the Sword Dynasty, the entire Central Region has become divided into three parts of the world. All the places north of the Shigu Mountains, including one-third of the territory in the south, have become the territory of the Sword Dynasty. At that time, the Sword Dynasty was famous and popular. It has been suppressing the only other two principalities."
"This Sword Emperor Cliff was left behind by Lord Sword Emperor when he went to the southern border," Ling Yun said in one breath, with deep reverence in his eyes.
"Is the Sword Dynasty still there today?" After listening for a long time, Lu Yunyou, who was fully focused, finally had the opportunity to ask.
"The existence of the Sword Dynasty in history was very short, only three years in total." Speaking of the short-lived Sword Dynasty, Ling Yun's expression became much lower in an instant, as if he did not want the Sword Dynasty to perish.
"Did the Sword Dynasty be destroyed later?" He didn't question Ling Yun's answer, but Lu Yunyou didn't understand how a country as big as the Sword Dynasty could exist for such a short period of time.
"Indeed, it's a long story about the reasons for the demise of the Sword Dynasty. I'll talk to you about it after we find a place to rest." The red sun was setting in the west and it was getting late. Ling Yun wanted to find a suitable place for them with Lu Yunyou first. A place to rest.
Lu Yunyou naturally had no objection to this. After a while, the two of them found a location with a better view in the forest in front, then gathered some dry firewood and lit a fire, and ate some dry food just like at noon.
After finishing the meal, Lu Yunyou couldn't wait to ask the question that had been stuck in his mind: "How did the Sword Dynasty end?"
On the way to find a resting place just now, Lu Yunyou had already thought over and over again that the original Sword Dynasty indeed no longer existed, otherwise it would be impossible for such a big country to have no reputation at all.
"Yunyou, do you know where the five major domains are?" Without answering Lu Yunyou's question first, Ling Yun wanted to test Lu Yunyou first.
"Of course I know." After nodding with certainty, Lu Yunyou quickly replied: "The five major regions are the Eastern Region, the Western Region, the Southern Region, the Northern Region, and the Central Region."
"Yes, we live in the Central Region. Among the five major regions, we are the only one that has not yet completed its unification. According to the regulations of the four empires, some countries in the Central Region must pay tribute to the Central Empire every ten years. .”
"In the first year after the establishment of the Sword Dynasty, the Central Empire issued an edict requiring the Sword Emperor Jian Feixian to pay homage to the Central Empire in person. However, the Sword Emperor at that time was arrogant and did not act in accordance with the requirements of the Central Empire. He was still busy Fighting everywhere."
"As long as he fights for three more years, the Sword Emperor will be able to defeat the last two principalities and unify the entire Central Region. At that time, he can legitimately establish an empire in the Central Region, and from then on he will be on an equal footing with the kings of the other four major regions. There is no need to be inferior to others and go to the Central Empire to worship," his tone was full of disappointment, Ling Yun did not want the Sword Dynasty to perish at all.
Then after calming down, he continued: "Because the Sword Emperor refused to pay tribute, the Central Empire issued edicts for three consecutive years, asking him to go there as soon as possible to plead guilty, but every time the Sword Emperor refused the Central Empire's request."
"In addition, in those three years, the Sword Emperor not only stabilized the new regime, but also annexed another principality. As long as the army rests for a period of time, he can capture the last Daqi principality in one fell swoop."
"But later, when the Sword Emperor was on his own expedition, he was attacked by a group of unknown forces. Unfortunately, the Sword Emperor died. As soon as he died, the huge Sword Emperor fell apart in an instant and ceased to exist in only half a year. "
"How could Lord Sword Emperor be killed? Could it be someone from the Central Empire did it?" Based on what Ling Yun said before about Jian Feixian not paying tribute, Lu Yunyou suddenly had a guess.
"It's been too long since that incident. No one can explain it clearly. I only know that at that time, the Sword Emperor already had the strength of a saint. His swordsmanship was at its peak, and he could even fight against a Heavenly Master-level martial artist alone."
"Then what weapon did the person who killed him use?"
"sword."
"Is that person's swordsmanship better than the Sword Emperor?" With the same sword, Lu Yunyou didn't understand why Jian Feixian, who was famous for his swordsmanship, lost to a man who also used a sword.
"It's not about the level of swordsmanship, it's about the higher level of his opponent. You should know that the higher the level of martial arts, the greater the power."
"Then what is the strength of his opponent?"
"It is rumored that he was a peak expert who had reached the level of Heavenly Lord. At that time, Lord Sword Emperor fought with him for a whole day and night, and finally died from serious injuries."
"That's it," even though Ling Yun was not sure what he said, Lu Yunyou still understood the general idea.
By now, the origin of Sword Emperor Cliff was completely clear. What surprised him was that the huge Sword Dynasty fell apart immediately after Jian Feixian died. No wonder he had not seen detailed records about the Sword Dynasty in history books before. It was obviously because The existence of Sword Dynasty was too short, and it failed to attract his attention at that time.
