The sky and the earth are vast, and the sea of clouds is vast.
On Jade Sword Peak, a tall old man in a green robe with white lining stands alone on the top of the mountain. He has a pale face and gray hair, a long beard that follows the wind, and his clothes are hunting. His eyes were bright, like lonely stars in the dark night.
The first of all peaks is Wang Xuanling.
There has been a saying about the Five Peaks of Swordsmanship on Mount Shu since ancient times. Among the thirty-six peaks of Mount Shu in the early years, five peaks named after swords gathered the sword cultivators. They were the most courageous and enterprising ones. They always advocated pioneering and enterprising, and they were called the Eagles of Mount Shu. group. In the years when the Shushan Sect was the leader in the world's righteous path, the Five Peaks of Sword Dao were also the vanguard of slaying demons and monsters. They were always at the forefront, fearless and glorious.
Since the decline of Shushan, its strength has gradually become inferior to others. The five peaks of swordsmanship that were brave and vigorous gradually declined, and the other conservative peaks gradually became the mainstream of Shushan. Five hundred years have passed since then, and the toughness of the five peaks of swordsmanship has been forgotten by most people.
On the one hand, the situation forced them to become more conservative; on the other hand, those militant masters gradually withered away.
For example, the Golden Sword Peak and the Silver Sword Peak both had their inheritances cut off and their veins were extinct. Even if the inheritance is restored now, it will not continue the pure will of the Five Peaks.
But since Wang Xuanling became the leader of the peaks, the powerful five peaks of swordsmanship seemed to have stood on the stage again. Internally and externally, the old man who was the leader was full of toughness.
So much so that when many evil demons mention Shu Mountain, the first thing they think of is not the headmaster, but the leader of the peaks with thunderous means.
Wang Xuanling, this name is like a big flag.
And it’s a battle flag.
For the next generation, he also adheres to the old-school Shushan education method, recruiting disciples and fierce competition. The Jade Sword Peak he is in charge of has over a hundred disciples, making it the best in Shu Mountain. All the disciples have grown up competing for their own resources.
But this competition gradually became weak a few years ago, because the Gu King had appeared.
A long while.
The mist in the sea of clouds began to boil, and suddenly it seemed to be boiling. Rolling thunder resounded through the mountains, and a sword energy soaring into the sky suddenly broke through the clouds.
laugh--
The sword energy was like a dragon and fell to the ground in a moment. A tall and heroic young figure emerged, with a figure as rich as jade, eyebrows like swords, and full of determination.
"Disciple pays homage to the master!" As soon as the young man landed, he immediately raised his hands on one knee and saluted Wang Xuanling.
"Get up." Wang Xuanling turned to the young man and asked softly: "Is it done?"
"Well, I lived up to Master's expectations." The young man stood up and replied calmly.
"Haha, good." Wang Xuanling smiled and praised, "You are indeed my most promising disciple. At the same age, I am not as good as you."
This young man is none other than his most beloved disciple, Xu Ziyang.
Wang Xuanling beamed with joy, but Xu Ziyang remained indifferent and said: "It all depends on the teachings of the master. How dare you talk about surpassing the master?"
"Disciples don't have to be inferior to masters..." Wang Xuanling shook his head and said, "If you can't even surpass me, how can you surpass the talented seniors of the Shushan Sect in the past generations, and how can you complete the great cause that none of them have completed?"
"Disciple knows!" Xu Ziyang paused again.
"I have two long-cherished wishes in my life. One is that the Shushan Sect can regain the Demon Suppression Tower and return to the top of the Immortal Sects. The other is that it can find the great road and reach the state of controlling Tianyuan... or even knowing the true mystery." Wang Xuanling said. He lamented, "I only regret that my talent is limited and I am too dull to carry it out. Such a vision may be placed on you in the future."
When Xu Ziyang heard this, his lips moved, as if he was about to speak but stopped.
Seeing him like this, Wang Xuanling said, "Just say whatever you want."
Xu Ziyang no longer hesitated and said directly: "Disciple wants to say that there is no need to find the Demon Suppression Tower, Shushan can also return to the top of all immortal sects!"
"Oh?" Wang Xuanling turned to him.
"This disciple will surpass the Demon Suppression Tower!" Xu Ziyang said in a sonorous voice.
His meaning is very obvious. If you reach the realm of Tongxuan and become a strong person in the ninth realm, you can surpass all the artifacts in the world.
Wang Xuanling looked at Xu Ziyang who looked like a sharp sword unsheathed, and felt a sense of trance. A hundred years ago, he was also facing this sea of clouds and his master. It seemed that he had also made this arrogance when he was young.
From generation to generation, the Jade Sword Peak has been passed down for thousands of years. All magical powers and techniques are secondary. The most important thing to inherit is the sword-like will, isn't it?
"Hahaha, okay." Wang Xuanling nodded lightly, "The geniuses in the world all have ambitions to be higher than the sky. I hope you can always maintain this vigor, be brave and diligent throughout your life, and leave no trace of evil!"
"Disciple, remember this!" Xu Ziyang paused again.
Wang Xuanling flicked his sleeves and turned around slightly, "You happen to be out of seclusion today, and there is something I want to tell you."
Xu Ziyang raised his eyes and listened.
Wang Xuanling said: "A few days ago, there was news that the demon god was about to return. And just yesterday, the purple and green swords came out of the mountain."
"Purple and green swords?" Xu Ziyang frowned.
The purple and green swords, ranked seventeenth on the Wanbaolu, have been the most powerful mountain-suppressing treasure on Shushan Mountain since the Demon Suppressing Tower was lost.
But unlike ordinary magic weapons, the purple and green swords have sword spirits and are extremely autonomous. For thousands of years, when the Shushan Sect was in peace, they hid in an exclusive Sword Box Peak all day long. Only when the Shushan Sect is about to encounter a great crisis will they sense it and be born together.
The purple and green swords coming out of the mountain indicate trouble in Shushan.
And coupled with the news of the return of the demon god at the same time, it is almost not difficult to guess what big event will happen.
"When the purple and green swords come out of the mountain, young disciples of the Shushan sect have always been chosen to claim their masters, and this time is no exception." Wang Xuanling added: "The master has decided to have the two most outstanding disciples claim their masters at the Shushan Mountain Summit in the near future. Purple and green swords."
Xu Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he probably understood what his master meant.
"Disciple will do his best!" His tone was full of confidence.
"Now that you have succeeded in breaking through, there is no problem." Wang Xuanling also smiled lightly, "The outstanding disciples of this generation of Shushan Sect are nothing more than you and Jiang Yuebai of Biluo Peak. These purple and green swords belong to you two."
Xu Ziyang didn't express anything about this. Confidence is self-confidence, but declaring victory in advance is not what he is used to.
Wang Xuanling said: "You will give your best in this meeting at Shushan Mountain. Once you win the title of chief disciple, and then recognize the Master of the Ziqing Dual Swords, I can propose marriage to Biluo Peak on your behalf."
"Huh?" Xu Ziyang's face tightened, "Why did Master say this?"
"With your talent and character, you are worthy of the most beautiful woman in this world. On the Shu Mountain, you two are the perfect match. Who else would you look for if not her?" Wang Xuanling said matter-of-factly: "You have reached your age, it is time to find someone. Wife-in-law."
The leader of the peaks, who is famous for his thunderous methods, also has a clear and sharp mind when dealing with emotional matters.
It's time for you to get a wife.
I think you two are suitable.
Then I'll help you propose marriage later.
A set of logic was flowing smoothly, Xu Ziyang was stunned for a moment, and said quickly: "This disciple is dedicated to revitalizing Shushan and pursuing the great road, and has no intention of having an affair between a man and a woman."
"Huh, isn't that true for being a teacher?" Wang Xuanling snorted coldly and said: "My whole life has been to revitalize Shushan and pursue the great road. I have no intention of having an affair with my children. Now that I am old...do you know how much I regret it?"
"..." Xu Ziyang was silent for a moment.
He has indeed always followed his master as an example, so he has such ambitions. Now that his master says this, he can't help but be shaken.
"Moreover, the reason why I tell you this is not just for the sake of my children's personal relationship." Wang Xuanling changed the subject and added: "Actually, the purple and green swords have not appeared in the world for many years, and there is a small secret that has been hidden from outsiders. Know."
"That's because the sword spirits of the legendary purple and green swords were originally a pair of lovers, so the sword masters they always choose are always lovers. If it is used by two people who do not love each other, the power of the two swords will be greater Discount. If two people love each other enough, then the two swords combined will be comparable to top-notch artifacts."
He stared at Xu Ziyang, "So, my teacher wants to propose marriage for you because of Shushan! If so, you... still resist?"
"This..." Xu Ziyang's expression was complicated, he paused, and then he could only lower his head and said: "It is my duty as a disciple to restore the glory of Shushan!"
