The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo climbed to the second floor of the No. 1 Building in the World, and they were no longer attacked by sword intent.

There was nothing on the second floor except for a painting of a Taoist priest in purple robe with a half-smile on his face.

He was the first Grand Master of the Imperial Observatory, a legendary figure who set up the Tianmen Chain Array and helped Bei Li break the Western Chu Iron Attack Array. The "Wuji Stick" in Xiao Se's hand was once the weapon of the Grand Master.

Wang Gang discovered that when he and Sikong Qianluo entered the second floor, they fell into a formation. The people around them disappeared, and faces appeared in front of them.

Those people are He Yushui from the Siheyuan world, Sophie from the All Is Well world, Zheng Juan from the human world, and so on.

These people are the most important people in Wang Gang’s life in every world, and they are the memories that he will never forget deep in his memory.

"It's time for me to let you go completely." Wang Gang sighed, and all the people in front of him disappeared, leaving only a painting hanging in the middle of the second floor.

The second floor of the No. 1 Building in the World is a test of one’s inner demons. Only those who have defeated their inner demons are qualified to go to the third floor. Qi Tianchen failed on this floor.

Wang Gang has a firm mind and has experienced the baptism of Meng Po soup, so this magic circle of the heart is not worth mentioning.

But Sikong Qianluo’s condition was not good.

After she fell into the illusion, she immediately realized that Wang Gang was not there and she was completely panicked.

"Lu Jun, where are you? Answer me now."

Sikong Qianluo stood there and screamed. Wang Gang was clearly right next to her, but she ignored him and was still looking for her husband.

"Qianluo, I'm here." Wang Gang sent a stream of true energy over, trying to wake up Sikong Qianluo, but found that it was useless.

"Lu Jun, don't die. Don't leave me alone, okay?" Sikong Qianluo knelt down, not even noticing the spear falling to the ground, looking distraught.

Sikong Qianluo’s inner demon is Wang Gang, and she cannot accept the fact that Wang Gang is about to leave.

Wang Gang placed his hand on Sikong Qianluo's head and used the Buddhist magic to subdue demons.

"Wake up." Wang Gang shouted loudly, and the invisible sound waves combined with the Buddhist mantras destroyed the surrounding illusions.

Sikong Qianluo shuddered all over, and his five senses returned again. The moment he saw Wang Gang, he was so excited that he hugged him.

"You are not dead, you are really not dead." Sikong Qianluo burst into tears.

Wang Gang gently patted Sikong Qianluo on the back and comforted him: "That was just an illusion. I'm here, don't worry."

Sikong Qianluo slowly came back to his senses and calmed down.

"I'm sorry, did I delay you?" Sikong Qianluo said apologetically.

Wang Gang gently wiped away his wife's tears and said, "Didn't you say that we are one as husband and wife and will face everything together? What are you talking about delaying or not?"

Sikong Qianluo cheered up and drew his spear in advance.

"Let's continue climbing the stairs." Sikongjianguan Qianluo cheered up.

Wang Gang smiled slightly and climbed to the third floor with his wife. Mo Yi also stopped at this floor that year.

Unlike the first two floors, the third floor was filled with countless famous swords. From the moment Wang Gang stepped into the third floor, the long swords began to hum softly, as if welcoming Wang Gang's arrival.

Countless sword intentions rose into the sky and surged on the third floor. Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo seemed to see thousands of troops attacking them.

Wang Gang stepped on the ground with his right foot and the Baji Sword Gate formation rose. Eight sword energies formed a protective shield, blocking thousands of troops outside and protecting Sikong Qianluo.

Ping ping ping ping!

Countless flying swords were bounced away by Wang Gang and flew back, as if there was no end. Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo fell into the sea of ​​swords in an instant.

Wang Gang discovered that there was another person deep in the third floor. His face was covered by a black robe, but his aura was very similar to Mo Yi's.

"Don't worry about me, go to the third level first." Sikong Qianluo pushed Wang Gang away. Not wanting to implicate her husband, she used her gun to lead away most of the flying swords.

Wang Gang saw that Sikong Qianluo could still hold out for a while, so he immediately flew towards the man in black. He put his fingers together to form a sword, and eight sword energies gathered at one point, piercing the man in black's face.

The man in black waved his black robe, spread out his five fingers, and used his palm to block Wang Gang's attack.

"Stop all the flying swords." Eight-colored sword lights burst out from Wang Gang's body again, forcing the man in black to take a step back.

"All the swords here are tests. Only when you make all the swords submit, will you be qualified to go to the fourth floor, 'Heavenly Sword Pavilion.'" The voice of the man in black was hoarse and low, not very pleasant.

"Who are you?" Wang Gang found that he was unable to suppress the man in black, even though he had reached the peak of the Divine Wandering Realm.

"I am the sword keeper." The man in black suddenly burst out with strength and forced Wang Gang back.

Sikong Qianluo was surrounded by thousands of sword lights and protected himself with a spear. He already had two wounds on his body.

Wang Gang no longer hesitated, flew back to Sikong Qianluo and slapped the ground with his palm.

The Baji Sword Formation exploded with its strongest power, completely covering the entire No. 1 Building in the World. Countless swords were fixed in mid-air, emitting sword energy, but unable to move forward.

The Sword Keeper then said: "I have guarded the Heavenly Sword Pavilion for hundreds of years and have seen many talented people, but no one can compare to you."

Veins popped out on Wang Gang's forehead. The pressure from the Baji Sword Formation became three times stronger. All the thousands of flying swords were pressed to the ground, and soon there was no movement.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Gang withdrew the Baji Sword Formation, and all the swords flew up again, but this time they no longer attacked Wang Gang and Sikong Qianluo, but slowly flew around the two of them, as if to express submission.

"Go back." Wang Gang pointed his sword together, and all the swords returned to their respective places, arranged together in an orderly manner, no longer agitated.

The sword keeper clapped his hands and praised: "You are the second person in hundreds of years who can make thousands of swords surrender."

Wang Gang took a breath and asked, "Who is the first person? Could it be Mo Yi?"

The sword keeper thought for a while before saying, "The young man who walked onto the third floor last time was indeed named Mo Yi. Unfortunately, he also stopped at the third floor. However, I seem to have given him a touch of immortal energy."

Wang Gang felt the same aura from the sword keeper as Mo Yi.

"Senior, have you really lived for hundreds of years?" Sikong Qianluo was still concerned about Wang Gang's lifespan.

The sword keeper glanced at Wang Gang and said, "Although you have reached the Mysterious Realm, your life span is running out. Are you coming to the First Floor to find a way to prolong your life?"

"Please tell me, senior." Sikong Qianluo said anxiously.

The Sword Keeper shook his head and said, "I do have a way to save him, but why should I tell you?"

Sikong Qianluo's breathing stagnated, and when he wanted to beg, Wang Gang raised his hand to stop him.

"Senior, your method will not turn you into a half-human, half-ghost like you!"

As soon as Wang Gang finished speaking, the air on the entire third floor froze and all the swords began to tremble.

Endless evil energy emanated from the sword keeper, and the evil energy like black mist filled the entire building. Even Xiao Se and Qi Tianchen outside the building were affected.

"Your Majesty, Lu Jun should have reached the third floor and met the sword keeper. There may be a big battle next. Your Majesty, please return to the palace." Qi Tianchen bowed and said to Xiao Se.

"Who is this sword keeper?" Xiao Se asked.

Qi Tianchen hesitated, but when he saw the dragon robe on Xiao Se, he said, "The sword keeper is the one who guards the Heaven Slashing Sword. He is Xie Zhize, one of the five pillars who followed Taizu to conquer the world hundreds of years ago. Thank you, sir!"

Xiao Se was surprised and asked, "Taizu has been dead for hundreds of years, so why is Xie Zhize still alive?"

Qi Tianchen shook his head and said, "Sword Guardian is not strictly speaking alive."

Xiao Se was puzzled and said, "To be alive is to be alive, what do you mean by not counting?"

"Life span is predetermined by heaven. Even masters of the Mysterious Realm cannot avoid birth, aging, sickness and death. People like us who practice Taoism mainly cultivate our primordial spirits. In addition to hoping to ascend to the upper realms, we also want to rely on the power of our primordial spirits to avoid the suffering of reincarnation and hope to cultivate again in the next life." Qi Tianchen explained:
"The sword keeper's body has long been dead, and he relies on his soul to turn the sword into a prison, forcing himself to stay in the world of the living. He is no different from a ghost or god, and perhaps he can be called a ghost immortal." (End of this chapter)
