Shading the sky: starting from the ruthless emperor

"Keng!"

In the Qinling Mountains of Zhongzhou, amidst the endless dragon energy emanating from the hundreds of thousands of mountains, the sound of a sword resounded through the sky.

At this moment, no matter where they were, almost all those who wielded swords raised their heads and looked towards Qinling.

"Kengkengkengkeng..."

The next moment, the sound of swords rang out in all the five regions of Beidou.

Those were shadows of flying swords, rising uncontrollably into the sky from the cultivators' wheel seas, Taoist palaces, and immortal platforms.

Bowing far away towards the endless mountains of Qinling Mountains in Zhongzhou.

It was as if a sword emperor appeared among the hundreds of thousands of mountains of the Qinling Mountains, with a supreme sword of the emperor.

"what happened?"

"This sword's roar actually caused unrest in the world?"

"Could it be possible that a fairy treasure has appeared in the Qinling Mountains?"

"Hiss... Could it be that the Immortal Transformation Pool has appeared again?"

"No! The Qinling Mountains have endless dragon veins. Perhaps they have given birth to an unparalleled sword treasure!"

At this moment, countless cultivators from all over the world headed towards the Qinling Mountains in Zhongzhou.

The Qinling Mountains in Zhongzhou are so vast that they are known as the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains. They have endless dragon veins and are a place of unspeakable treasures.

Even the Immortal Pond that is said to appear every tens of thousands of years is hidden in the 100,000 Sacred Mountains of the Qinling Mountains.

It is a place full of endless good fortune.

According to legend, in ancient times, those celestial beings and supreme beings had visited this place to take a glimpse of its creation.

There are even some powerful supreme beings and ancient emperors who left their legacy in the Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of people exploring, and some people have even soared to the sky and become powerful and kings.

It can be said that the Ten Thousand Sacred Mountains of the Qinling Mountains are almost as famous as those forbidden areas.

Some monks who are nearing the end of their lives and are familiar with those ancient legends all want to bury themselves in the Qinling Mountains, hoping to live out their next life in the good fortune of the Qinling Mountains' 100,000 sacred mountains.

It’s a pity that although the Qinling Hundred Thousand Sacred Mountains are mysterious and have endless creations, no one has yet been able to explore them to their full potential.

Among the 100,000 Sacred Mountains of the Qinling Mountains, the sound of a sword shocked the world, which naturally attracted countless cultivators to come again.

In just a few years, countless Taoists appeared throughout the Qinling Mountains.

Even on the edge of the fairyland in the Qinling Mountains, there were corpses of the dead.

Nanling, a sacred mountain hidden in the void.

Li Qingyue, who had been sitting cross-legged for decades without waking up, suddenly opened her eyes at this moment. Fairy light flowed in her eyes, and she looked straight at Qinling.

"He is back?"

Li Qingyue looked a little excited, but then she calmed down very quickly, looking a little melancholy.

"It's not him after all!"

"But we still have to meet!"

Amidst the low murmurs, Li Qingyue's figure disappeared like a rain of light.

When she appeared again, she had already arrived at the top of the Qinling Mountains.

She raised her head slightly and looked into the endless void. Perhaps it wouldn't take many years before the Immortal Pond would reappear in the world.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the green lotus in the Immortal Transformation Pond.

"He's going to be born soon, right?"

With a soft sigh, Li Qingyue's expression became calmer, but in that calmness there was a hint of vicissitudes that could not be concealed.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100,000 years passed.

The years pass silently, leaving behind only regrets that can never be made up for.

What if we meet again?
Li Qingyue looked towards the nameless valley in the sacred mountain.

There was a big tomb there, which was built by her herself, and buried there was a magic sword belonging to him.

"With the state of non-contention as the root, forge a sharp edge!"

"Kill the Holy Spirit, fight the Heavenly Pride, drink the blood of the Emperor!"

"Although the sword is broken, its sharpness is still there!"

"It can still break the sky!"

Thinking of that person, Li Qingyue didn't know what kind of mood to use to face him.

Different from Yan Wushuang's directness and domineering attitude.

From the day we met, he was pure and natural, like a son of nature.

A song of non-contention can soothe the sorrow of one life and heal the regrets of all souls.

Let people see the best tomorrow and be full of hope for the future.

He also explained to her all the ways of cultivation in his voice as gentle as water.

Dao Scriptures, Dao Patterns, Sea of ​​Bitterness, Dao Palace...

It was also from then on that she truly opened the door to spiritual practice.

By destroying his body and severing his meridians, he broke the iron rule that had existed for thousands of years, successfully opened up the sea of ​​suffering, and officially embarked on the path of cultivation.

If it weren't for him, if she wanted to start practicing, she would probably have to waste a long time and take all the detours before she could succeed.

Even though her understanding was blessed by the Hedao Flower, it had unparalleled and extraordinary power.

It is also necessary to take detours to see the truth.

This is the way of practice.

No one dares to say that they can walk on the right path of practice from the beginning.

"Don't remember me in this life!"

Li Qingyue walked down the valley, slowly came to the grave, and murmured softly.

Brother, Yan Wushuang, Yang Wuzheng, Son of Tianquan, Saintess of Tianxuan, Son of Yaoguang, Ji Changkong, Ji Changling, Dongfang Wudi...

Thinking of those names, Li Qingyue felt more and more melancholy.

Along the way, almost everyone who knew me has passed away.

No good ending or lifelong regret?

Knowing yourself is not a good thing!
"Om..."

Li Qingyue sat cross-legged on the bluestone. She moved her hands slightly, and a guqin appeared on her knees.

Yang Wuzheng’s teachings back then seem to still be ringing in my ears.

Use non-competitive music to calm your mind, control your power, and everything will come naturally and smoothly.

This ancient zither was also given to her by Yang Wuzheng back then.

It’s a pity that although the piano was good, it followed a person who didn’t understand the piano, and since then it has never seen the light of day again.

"Ding……"

The lively sound of the piano slowly sounded.

An aura of inaction and purity emanated from Li Qingyue.

The jade-like slender fingertips danced on the strings, and a faint vitality also spread around with the dancing of the fingers.

There was no wind in the valley, but at this moment, all the flowers, plants and trees began to dance.

Everything is flourishing and dancing in the spring.

Even the long sword buried in the tomb became quiet at this moment.

A leisurely smile appeared on Li Qingyue's face, as if at this moment, she returned to the days when she knew nothing and only knew how to eat.

It seemed that he saw a tall young man in a moon-white robe standing quietly in front of him, looking at him gently and smiling calmly and naturally.

"Clap clap clap..."

Just as the song was coming to an end, bursts of applause suddenly rang out at the entrance of the valley.

“Good song, good intentions!”

"In this world of strife and conflict, I never thought there would be such a peaceful and tranquil sound of immortals!"

A warm yet heavy voice sounded slowly.

Li Qingyue turned her head and saw a young man standing at the entrance of the valley.

He has a slender figure and stands straight, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

He was dressed in a moon-white gown, which was very decent. His eyes were lively and had an unconcealable sharpness.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know this was the fairy's retreat, I apologize for disturbing you!"

After seeing the girl's face, the young man was obviously stunned and looked a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted his posture and bowed and spoke without being rude.

Li Qingyue did not cover up her appearance. When meeting old friends, she should not cover up her appearance.

It's just that at this moment, old friends meet each other, but they no longer recognize each other.

She looked at the young man quietly, without saying a word for a long time.

This scene made the young man, who was already feeling a little uneasy, even a little nervous.

Deep in the Qinling Mountains, there are endless dangerous places.

He actually saw a fairy who was not from this human world in this nameless valley.

A fairy who seemed to be interested in me, her eyes had been fixed on my face for a long time without moving away.

Although he was confident in his appearance, he couldn't believe that such a beautiful fairy would fall in love with him at first sight.

"Is it a hallucination?"

He concentrated his attention, but found that the fairy's breath was extremely ethereal. If he had not seen it with his naked eyes, he would not be able to sense the slightest breath of the fairy.

"The biggest crisis here?"

After concentrating again and again, the young man became more nervous. There was nothing in front of his eyes, except for an indescribable sharpness in the big tomb in front of the fairy.

"It seems so. Countless cultivators entered Qinling Mountains, and those who died were all careless people!"

"This place contains my opportunity, but it must also contain unspeakable dangers!"

As the young man's thoughts raced through his mind, his sharp edge gradually grew, as if he could strike out with a peerless sword at any time.

He was not even in the mood to admire the fairy with a stunning face who was staring at him in a daze.

Although the fairy is beautiful, he doesn't want to die!
"Buzz!"

Li Qingyue raised her hand, a light flashed before her eyes, and a stone table appeared silently.

There is a teapot on it.

There was no flames at all, but there was still a gurgling sound of boiling water.

Seeing this scene, the boy's heart skipped a beat.

He couldn't feel the breath of the fairy, but judging from her ability, her strength was definitely not weak. Could she be a thousand-year-old goblin?
"That is?"

At this moment, the boy's eyes were suddenly attracted by the tea leaves in the fairy's hand.

The tea leaves emitted a flowing fairy light and a fragrant aroma. Even though they were dozens of meters apart, he could feel his mind become clear and it seemed as if endless spiritual light was rising in his mind.

"Enlightenment Tea!"

“The legendary enlightenment tea!”

The young man was shocked and looked at the fairy in front of him in disbelief.

At this moment, he was absolutely sure that the fairy in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.

They even have the legendary enlightenment tea, which is even more terrifying than those old monsters that have lived for thousands of years.

What frightened the young man even more was that from the moment he set foot in the valley, it was as if he had stepped into another world.

In particular, he remembered that when he entered the valley, there were still many strong men approaching from outside.

Among them there are many who are half-step powerful, and even peerless powerful.

Even the strong men from the Shenzhou Dynasty, Jiuli Dynasty, Guhua Dynasty, as well as the Yaochi, Ji Family, Jiang Family, Tianxuan, Yaoguang... and other holy places have appeared.

But now those people are gone, and I can’t sense any presence at all.

It seemed that since the moment he set foot in the valley, he was completely isolated from the world.

Even the entrance to the valley was no longer visible.

But from beginning to end, he didn't feel anything unusual.

The teapot in front of the fairy kept gurgling, and the fragrance of the enlightenment tea became more and more intense.

If he could see through the fairy in front of him, he would really want to draw his sword and snatch it.

"sit!"

Suddenly, a clear and cold voice accompanied by a soft fairy sound was heard. Until this moment, the young man realized that the fairy could actually speak.

But before he could react, he realized that he had found himself sitting at the tea table in front of the fairy without knowing when.

He was totally unaware.

It seems that the fairy's voice is the law, the way.

Once he opened his mouth, everything changed.

At this moment, the boy was so shocked that he could hardly utter a word.

But when he thought of the fairy in front of him, he calmed down instantly.

The fairy in front of him was unfathomable and he couldn't resist her at all.

If they wanted to kill him, it would only take a thought. Why would he resist?
"They come, the security!"

With this state of mind, the young man quickly adjusted his mentality, cupped his hands and said, "You still don't know the fairy's name?"

But as soon as the words came out, the boy regretted it instantly.

When did I become so reckless? Or did I just give up? Asking for the fairy's name as soon as I met her?

Just when the young man was extremely nervous, he suddenly noticed the fairy in front of him. She looked up at him and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Such a scene made the young man confused for a moment.

Before he could react, he heard the cold yet gentle voice of the fairy in front of him again: "When asking for someone's name, shouldn't you tell your own name first?"

"I am...I am Li Erxuan!"

The boy responded quickly, a hint of embarrassment unconsciously appearing on his face.

Fortunately, the fairy didn't care about it, otherwise, with his small body, he would have died long ago.

"Li Erxuan?"

Li Qingyue's brows twitched slightly, showing some unspeakable surprise.

In this life, his surname is actually Li, and the name Erxuan is also strange, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Erxuan... Erxuan means that I am second, and no one in the world dares to claim to be first!"

Li Erxuan hurriedly opened his mouth to force an explanation. He also felt that the name was strange, but it was his father who gave him the name.

But as soon as he finished explaining, Li Erxuan felt embarrassed again.

Saying such words in front of the fairy in front of you is a bit ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

"Not bad!"

Li Qingyue nodded slightly with a hint of praise, which instantly made the young man in front of her stunned again.

When others heard his name and his explanation, they all laughed at him for his shamelessness.

Some people even said that he was not even the 22nd in the world, let alone the second.

Because there are so many special physiques in this world, how can those with ordinary physiques resist them?

"Gululu..."

The tea was still boiling, and the fragrance of tea was everywhere, making the valley seem to be filled with inexplicable Taoist aura.

The young man's heart also calmed down for a rare time.

Who has not been young and frivolous, wanting to compete with the sky, and having the ambition to claim to be second to none.

The fairy in front of him was the only one who did not laugh at his name. She was worthy of being a close friend, and this should be made clear.

However, if I did that, I would just be making a fool of myself in front of the fairy.

Li Qingyue stretched out her slender jade fingers, picked up the teapot, poured out a cup of tea, and placed it in front of Li Erxuan.

"Drink tea!"

"Don't underestimate yourself. You... can do it!"

Li Qingyue spoke, her voice seemed to have hidden meanings, and there was a hint of confidence that even Li Erxuan had never had.

"Thank you, fairy, for the tea!"

Li Erxuan's heart was pounding. He automatically ignored those words and stared at the teacup in front of him.

What is in front of you is the Enlightenment Tea, something that even some old monsters who have lived for thousands of years cannot touch.

"Gulu!"

Li Erxuan picked up the teacup and gestured slightly, then couldn't wait to drink it all.

Before he put down the teacup, the fairy actually picked up the teapot again and filled it for him personally.

At this moment, Li Erxuan was slightly dazed.

How could I have deserved such a beautiful fairy to pour tea for me?

"Drink tea!"

Li Qingyue continued to speak, and a smile seemed to flash across her eyes.

"it is good!"

Li Erxuan was a little dazed and drank his tea subconsciously.

But as soon as I finished the second cup, the third cup was ordered again.

After nine cups in a row, just when Li Erxuan thought that the fairy in front of him might have other intentions, he suddenly found that the fairy in front of him seemed to blur in that instant.

There are endless avenues and endless laws, which are as vast as the heaven, earth and universe, flowing above the fairy's vague figure.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he even heard the fairy's faint murmur: "You have preached to me, and I have preached to you!"

"It's not impossible to be the best in the world!"

"This is?"

At this moment, Li Erxuan's eyes suddenly widened.

With the blessing of the Enlightenment Tea, he was actually immersed in it in an instant and saw the indescribable world of the Tao.

It was as if I had fallen into the ocean of laws in an instant.

It’s so vast.

Like a big universe.

Perhaps only the immortals in the legend have such vast laws and principles?
But before he could think too much, he felt his consciousness becoming a small boat in the vast road, enduring the endless beating of the laws of the road.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Erxuan suddenly woke up.

"Keng..."

A ray of sharp divine power instantly burst out from his forehead and rushed straight towards Douniu.

"this?"

Li Erxuan was dazed, feeling the changes in himself as if in a dream.

At this moment, he actually felt as if he could tear the sky and the earth apart without any effort at all.

This was an illusion that he had realized something.

After all, it is just a pig. If it drinks the enlightenment tea and immerses itself in the ocean of laws and principles, it will also be transformed.

"Oh!"

At this moment, the big tomb nearby suddenly exploded, and a crystal sword floated directly in front of him.

"This sword is for you!"

Li Qingyue's voice sounded again, still sitting in front of the stone table, as if she had not moved at all from beginning to end.

Looking at the long sword in front of him that looked like a peerless divine weapon and feeling his own changes, Li Erxuan still couldn't come back to his senses.

Everything before my eyes was too dreamy.

An opportunity that others couldn't even get after falling off a cliff and escaping death was easily obtained by him?
Not even a little bit of a test?
This was simply beyond his understanding.

"Why?"

Li Erxuan asked, still seeming unable to believe it.

"This sword is meant for you, don't let it down!"

Li Qingyue responded, looking at the magic sword, seeming a little sad.

This is Yang Wuzheng's sword, which was once broken, but was then reconnected by her. She used it to wash the blood of all races and purified it with the essence of all races' lives.

She once condensed his mark, and even used the art of reincarnation for it.

Afterwards, she buried the sword in the dragon vein of the Qinling Mountains, using the dragon vein's energy to nourish the sword and wash away the evil intent on the sword.

This was his sword, so naturally she didn't want it to become a magic sword.

The nourishment of the dragon veins for tens of thousands of years has made this sword extremely extraordinary. After all, it is the sword of a congenital Taoist fetus.

Li Erxuan looked at the magic sword in front of him and fell in love with it at first sight.

The Taoist essence of "if you don't make a sound, you'll be nothing; if you do, you'll shock the world and dare to compete with the heavens" is extremely profound.

It was as if this sword was forged for him, and even the spirituality in it was in line with his divine will.

"What is the name of this sword?"

Li Erxuan opened his mouth, stretched out his hand to grasp the magic sword, his face serious.

The beautiful woman gave him a sword and used the enlightenment tea to strengthen his foundation and help him understand his own path.

It is comparable to practicing for a thousand years.

Naturally, he would not underestimate such an opportunity. He even wanted to wield this sword and truly become the best in the world.

"Your sword... you can name it!"

Li Qingyue turned her head and stopped looking at the magic sword, and her tone trembled indescribably.

Li Erxuan looked down at the immortal sword and stroked it with his fingers. He seemed to be able to feel the spirituality in it echoing with him from afar.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke solemnly.

"Just call me Tai Huang, the King of Swords!"

"The Great Emperor Sword will surely be known throughout the world in the future!"

It seems like a promise, but also like a kind of silent confidence.

Since you want to be the best in the world, then fight to the end, make your name known through the ages, and live up to this sword and this man.

"The Emperor?"

Li Qingyue murmured and said no more.

She turned around and looked at Li Erxuan again, and her body instantly turned into rain of light, drifting towards the sky.

Seeing this scene, Li Erxuan hurriedly shouted: "Fairy, you haven't told me your name yet!"

This kindness, this love, and this sword are enough to change his life.

Why wouldn't he want to know the fairy's name?
He wanted to remember the fairy's name and appearance, and repay her kindness after he became successful in the future.

"Li...Qingyue!"

A vague voice from the sky dropped down and floated into Li Erxuan's mind.

"Li Qingyue...I seem to have heard of it somewhere before?"

“It seems I haven’t heard of it!”

"Could it be... an ancestor of my Li family?"

Li Erxuan looked at the place where the fairy was floating and whispered, with a confused look on his face.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but just after he whispered, a sigh seemed to be heard faintly from above the sky.

A sigh filled with unspeakable emotion.

It seems like a regret that will never be healed!

"When old friends meet, they still don't recognize each other!"
