The gathering of the three heroes of Shushan in the previous generation could be said to have ended on bad terms.
Chu Liang originally wanted to organize everyone to have a meal together and reminisce about old times, thinking that we were all close classmates in the past, so there was nothing we could not talk about.
As a result, before ordering, Taoist Yan's brows were already furrowed.
The Immortal Riding the Whale even said: "I'm leaving first. Being seen by others will inevitably cause trouble. Ah Feng, Yan Zi... we will see each other again."
He disappeared in a flash, and Taoist Yan looked at the direction in which he disappeared, with a look of loss in his eyes.
Some people are like this. When they are in front of you, it is always difficult for you to talk to them calmly. But when he left, he suddenly realized that he was deeply lovesick.
Not long after, a laughing voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Congratulations to Shushan for adding another Tianyuan strongman."
"Please come in." Taoist Yan responded.
What came in was a thin old man with a goatee and a gentle appearance. He looked unremarkable and seemed to be no different from the old men who fished by the lake at the entrance of the village all day long. If there's anything special about him, it's probably that his smiling face makes people feel like they're in peace, making him look particularly approachable.
"The dean actually came here to congratulate me, I'm really scared." Taoist Yan stood up and said.
Although he said kind words, his face was full of bad mood, which made the old man opposite him a little confused.
After a pause, he smiled again and said: "It is a major event for all immortal sects to have one more yuan in nine heavens and ten places. I expected that those who congratulated you would go to Shushan, so I played a trick and came here first to get familiar with it."
After hearing Taoist Yan's correct answer, Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai also recognized this person's identity.
The dean of Shenglong Academy, Gong Yangqi.
He was a very influential Tianyuan strongman in the Yu Dynasty and the leader of Confucianism at that time. As the leader of one of the three religions, one can imagine his status. Even if he is ordered to supervise the country, he must be treated with three points of respect.
"The dean is too polite. I should go and pay a visit to the seniors." Taoist Yan said, but his face was full of annoyance.
She was not targeting the old man in front of her. After all, Taoist Yan was not the emperor's daughter. No matter how cold and cold she was, she still had the most basic courtesy and qualities. When people came to congratulate her, she would not give them a cold face.
However, the Whale Riding Immortal left early and the rush of waiting for many years made it difficult for her to keep a good look.
"I haven't prepared any big gifts, just some small gifts. Please don't dislike it." Gong Yangqi handed over another scroll.
Taoist Yan held it with both hands and unfolded it gently. What he saw was a free and elegant calligraphy, with the four characters "Sword Heart Holding Upright" written on it.
Although it was only a few words, it conveyed a fresh air of righteousness, which made people awe-inspiring.
Taoist Yan looked at him with awe and immediately understood what the old man meant.
The dean of Shenglong Academy would not give away calligraphy easily. Even if the headmaster of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths takes office, he may not give it as a gift.
Today she succeeded in her fight, but she also exposed her bloodline from the demon clan. Gong Yangqi's gift of these four words clearly reminded her to uphold the right path and not to let the sword's heart become dusty.
At the same time, more importantly, it also represents Gongyang Qi’s affirmation.
Since he presented the calligraphy treasure as a gift, the Confucian and Taoist cultivators would never cause trouble to Taoist Yan again. Confucian practitioners who attach the most importance to the so-called "righteousness" have no objection. Presumably other immortal sects will no longer express their ideas even if they have them.
If the demon descendants fight for the right, they will inevitably arouse the criticism of the world.
The word "old man" was like building a wall in front of her.
This is the real gift.
Taoist Yan looked at Gong Yangqi, solemnly saluted as a junior, and said: "Thank you very much."
…
When Chu Liang sent Jiang Yuebai away, he saw the whale-riding immortal again.
The old man was sitting at the wave-watching place outside Xuanjian City at this time, watching the waves hitting the rocks in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Yuebai stepped forward and suddenly asked, "You already knew that, right?"
"What?" The Whale Riding Immortal looked at her.
"You should have discovered something was wrong that day, but you didn't say anything. What they did in Jianlu... Since you notified Uncle Feng to rescue us, you shouldn't have known about it." Jiang Yuebai said: "You deliberately let them do what they did just to make my master enlighten, right?"
So this is still happening?
Chu Liang's eyes widened at the side and he looked at his father-in-law curiously. He didn't expect this to happen.
In this case, Taoist Yan is also grateful to his contribution this time. But just now he was targeted by Uncle Yan for a long time without even mentioning a single word.
"That's not to say..." The Whale Riding Immortal looked a little embarrassed.
At this time, another voice came out, "Okay, why are you so kind to save me? It turns out you have a guilty conscience."
Immediately, a light blue shadow emerged from the sleeves of the Whale Riding Immortal. His soul was as condensed as a solid body, and he looked like an old farmer with a honest face.
Who is it if it’s not the Sword Emperor of the West Sea?
Seeing this figure, Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai were also a little surprised.
Didn't he disappear into thin air in front of everyone, so why is there still such a complete soul here?
The Immortal Riding the Whale sneered twice, then shrugged and said, "Then it's Yinghuo who plots against you, so I can just ignore you. Isn't it interesting enough that I've also prepared a magic weapon that nourishes the soul in advance for you to hide?"
Seeing this, Chu Liang asked, "Are you two old acquaintances?"
"When we traveled to the West Sea, we had some interactions." Although the West Sea Sword King was a divine soul, he still straightened his robes before speaking to the junior.
"I beat him up." The whale-riding immortal said concisely.
"Ahem, it's not like we don't know each other without fighting." Xihai Sword Emperor tried his best to make amends.
Chu Liang finally saw clearly that there were probably few people of the same generation as the Three Masters of Shushan who had not been beaten by them. Master opened the way for martial arts, Jiang Tiankuo checked for deficiencies and made up for them, and Master Yan remained calm and determined to educate a generation.
"In short, I did notice what happened to Yinghuo in advance, but I didn't fully know their plan." The Whale Riding Immortal said calmly, "And if Yan Zi fights with you, she will definitely die if she loses, and if you lose, there will be Chances are good, so I did this. If you think I did something wrong, you can rebuke me."
Although she may not necessarily die if she fails to fight for the road, Yan Taoist has a strong character and will definitely risk his life in a fight without leaving any way for himself. This is why the Whale Riding Immortal and the Emperor's Daughter Feng are worried about her.
"Put down the bottle in your hand first..." The Sword Emperor of the West Sea said speechlessly.
When the Whale Riding Immortal was talking, he was holding a white jade pure vase in his hand, which looked like it would fall and break at any time. This pure bottle is an excellent treasure for holding the soul. Even the soul of the eighth realm will inevitably become weak after being in the outside world for a long time. Like Lao Fei next to Chu Liang, he could only maintain his vitality through spiritual plant supplementation or long-term dormancy.
But with this jade bottle, the Xihai Sword Emperor can maintain a complete soul state, so it is very important.
When the Whale Riding Immortal spoke with this thing, he naturally didn't dare to refute.
"Ying Huo harmed me, most likely because he has collusion with the Demon Sect of the West Sea." The Sword Emperor of the West Sea then said seriously: "Of course I will not anger Taoist Yan. If you save me, you are saving me. You have no grudges with me but no enmity. I still recognize these things. Clear."
"That's fine if you think so." The Whale Riding Immortal nodded.
Do people dare to think otherwise... Chu Liang secretly cursed.
Then the Whale Riding Immortal said again: "In that case, I can go to the Sword Realm Heavenly Palace with you."
…
"Sword Domain Heavenly Palace?"
This name made both Jiang Yuebai and Chu Liang a little confused, and they didn't know where it was.
But the Xihai Sword Emperor was shocked, "Have you found the location of the Sword Domain Celestial Palace?"
"Maybe." The whale-riding immortal smiled slightly.
After he explained a little bit, Chu Liang knew what kind of place it was.
There are three paths of swordsmanship in the world, each with its own origin.
Among them, the Zhanxu Avenue was opened by Li Sheng and was the first sacred road in the world; the Tai'a Avenue was learned from the ancient sword cultivators who observed the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth. Although no one has used it to reach the ninth realm, it is extremely powerful; the Jue Avenue is extremely powerful. Yun Dao came from a mysterious place in the Divine Ruins.
It is said that when an ancient sword cultivator was practicing in the ruins of the gods, he accidentally entered a palace located in the clouds in the sky. There were misty clouds and a forest of flying swords. In the center of the sword forest stood a divine sword holding the sky. He wanted to take the divine sword away, but he couldn't find a way to do it, and in the end he could only return home alone.
But just contemplating the divine sword had already allowed him to comprehend the Jueyun Dao, becoming the first generation of Tianyuan to master this Dao in the world.
"Back then, Afeng and Yan Zi, I and I went out for training and found the Xiaoyun Ancient Sword in an ancient sword cultivator's tomb. There were also some records about the Sword Domain Celestial Palace..." said the Whale Riding Immortal.
Chu Liang suddenly understood: "Senior, are you going to get that divine sword?"
He had thought about this before.
If the Shenxu Temple could wipe out the Jiang family, which had experts in the Tianyuan realm, overnight, it would definitely have the power of the eighth realm or above. But if it is the ninth realm, it can directly dominate the world, and all living creatures in the world will know it.
Therefore, what they most likely have is the power of the eighth and a half level to control the artifact. It may be stronger, but it will not reach the ninth level.
If the Whale Riding Immortal wants to go to the Shenxu Temple like this, it will most likely be for free. The safest way is actually to find a way to get an artifact, but this is almost impossible.
The only one with artifacts in the world is the Eight Heavenly Immortal Sect. No one could lend him the Zongzong artifact to take him to a place where life and death were unknown. No matter how high the price he paid, no one would risk the future of the sect.
As for finding ways to seize the artifact, it's even more difficult. Xihai Demon Sect owns half of the shares of Jingtian Bagua, and they can only get a small chance after all their efforts. He wanted to get a magical weapon on a whim, but that was just out of his mind.
If there is a wild artifact, it is naturally the best choice. But whether this artifact can be obtained is still a question of doubt.
"It's okay to tell you..." The Whale Riding Immortal glanced at him and said, "After all, the key to the Sword Domain Celestial Palace may be with you."
