No taboos in the world

Chapter 469: Conference Invitation, The Long River of Sword Dao

"Peach Conference?"

Hong Chen held a golden-red invitation in his hand.

The green fairy smiled and said, "Yes, the Peach Festival only takes place once every three thousand years. You have come at a good time."

"Then the True Lord can be invited?"

"Of course not." The green fairy shook her head. "There are at least 800 True Lords in Heaven. If all of them were eligible to participate, the peaches in the Peach Garden would be too numerous to share!"

"Don't talk nonsense." The red fairy pulled the green fairy behind her, then smiled at Hong Chen and said, "Please forgive me, Master."

The green fairy curled her lips in indignation: "I didn't say anything wrong."

"You still said that!"

The red fairy turned around and glared at the green fairy, who dared not say anything more. She could only lower her head and move her lips silently.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. The peaches are rare and precious, so it's not surprising that you can't be invited. So, it should be because of the Xianghuo Lin Palace?"

The red-robed fairy nodded: "True Lord is wise. The marriage of the three realms of the Xianghuolin Palace Master is an indispensable part of the Heavenly Court. Now that Yue Lao is not in the palace, True Lord should attend on his behalf."

Hong Chen understood and nodded in agreement: "Okay. Thank you seven fairies for sending the invitation. I will definitely attend the meeting on time."

Hongxi Palace is the core of the entire Xianghuolin Palace. Other places were previously the residence of Yue Lao or places for growing flowers and plants.

Yue Lao is the benevolent corpse of the master. Now that Hong Chen has taken over the Hongxi Palace and is taking over the duties, Yue Lao has naturally been taken back by the master.

Yue Lao has taken away all his belongings, so Hong Chen no longer has to live on the third floor of the original Hongxian Palace and can move directly into the big house.

However, due to Yue Lao's identity and symbolic significance, Xianghuo Lin Palace will not be renamed.

"Please do as you please, Master. We sisters will leave first."

"Okay, I'll take you all there."

Following the seven fairies to the outside of the palace, the green-clothed fairy came to Hong Chen again before leaving and reminded him: "We are going to pick peaches now. You'd better not practice in seclusion anymore, so as not to miss the time. Also, you have never been to Yaochi before, so you can't just barge in. Either find a maid to lead the way, or follow other fairies. I won't have time to take you when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Hong Chen said with a smile.

After the Seven Fairies left, Hong Chen turned around and went into seclusion.

But he knew that the Peach Banquet would never take place.

In other words, the Peach Banquet was originally just a scene in the play, allowing Wukong to step in and cause trouble.

Those dragon livers and phoenix marrows, precious liquids and nectars are all priceless "props".

Although he now holds the invitation to the Peach Banquet, it is reasonable for him to follow Wukong and go to Yao Chi to clean up the mess.

But he had just established a karmic relationship with Buddhism, so it was time for him to settle down so as not to be remembered by others.

If he really wanted to taste the eight delicacies and peaches in Heaven, he might as well wait until the Peaceful Heaven Conference. Then he could go there with the help of Yue Lao's honorable position.

Then again, the Jade Emperor probably doesn’t know yet that Nuwa has accepted him as her disciple.

Otherwise, even just for the sake of Saint Nuwa, he would continue to be promoted.

After all, he was taught by a saint himself, so naturally his status is extraordinary.

Hong Chen packed up his things from the third floor of Hongxi Palace and moved into the palace where Yue Lao used to live. The room suddenly became much more spacious.

The black ice white jade bed in the hall was still there, obviously left for him by Yue Lao on purpose.

Practicing on this white jade bed can give you peace of mind, without fear of attacks from inner demons, and help you attain enlightenment much faster. It is truly a great treasure.

Hong Chen sat cross-legged and took out the blazing white Hongchen Sword.

At this time, all the vicious and evil energy in the sword has been absorbed by the sword body and transformed into sword sharpness during the refining of the Qiankun Ding.

"Are you still angry?"

"No." The Red Dust Sword Spirit responded softly.

Hong Chen raised his eyebrows: "Your tone also sounds much calmer and more peaceful, is it because of the fierce and evil spirit?"

"Part of it."

"What about the other part?"

"The Qiankun Ding also has a spirit."

"This is normal. If it has no spirit, what kind of spiritual treasure is it?"

"It told me to be calmer and more obedient, and it's best not to make any noises often, and I must not move around. Otherwise, I will be wiped out by my master sooner or later. Anyway, as long as the spiritual treasure itself is not damaged, it will soon be able to breed a new spirit. Finally, it said that it is already the third spirit of Qiankun Ding."

Hong Chen blinked and was speechless for a moment.

What the sword spirit said is actually true.

There are indeed people who will deliberately erase the spirit of a spiritual treasure, and then suppress the growth of the spirit after the new spirit is born, so that the spirituality of the spiritual treasure remains at a relatively low level.

But those who do this are often those who do not have the ability to fully refine the spiritual treasure.

Once a spiritual treasure has been completely refined, no matter how smart the spirit is, it will never betray it.

"You think too much. The three spirits of Qiankun Ding are related to its past experiences. After a magic weapon changes its owner, it is not uncommon to erase the original spirit, because the spirit also has feelings and will miss the old master and hate the new master, thus affecting the magic weapon's ritual, and even betraying and backlash. However, if you really go to that day, I will definitely be dead, so you can't blame me, right?"

The sword spirit did not respond and did not move, but Hong Chen could feel its sadness and resentment.

After thinking seriously for a moment, Hong Chen took the initiative to comfort him.

"Don't worry. It's hard for me to die now even if I want to. You also know who my master is. As long as you are still in my hands, what reason do I have to wipe you out? Moreover, I haven't forgotten that you chose to go with me in the Huanyue Cave of Qingyun Sect. How can I be ungrateful to you? Finally, I really like to communicate with you, so that we can cooperate more tacitly. You understand my intentions and I understand your needs. Isn't that good?"

For a while.

"You... you really think so?" "Of course." Hong Chen laughed, "To me, you and other magic weapons have different meanings. If one day I can achieve enlightenment, then you must be my treasure for achieving enlightenment. Do you think I have ever talked to other magic weapons?"

"...It seems so. Then can I still talk in the future?"

"Of course, you can say whatever you want."

"You don't think I'm annoying?"

"Of course not. I just think you are lively and cheerful."

"Can I move on my own then?"

"I love it when you move on your own."

"Hehe, okay! Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. I just can't help shaking or shining sometimes, but I won't take the initiative or give up attacking anyone against your will. Besides, you have already completely sacrificed me, right?"

"Of course, even if the ritual is not complete, I still believe in you!"

The blazing white sword trembled slightly and made a clear sword humming sound, it was obvious that it was happy now.

"Then can we go and slay demons? Or go to some places with strong negative auras such as fierceness, hostility, evil spirit, murderous aura, etc."

The Red Dust Sword can refine, transform, and assimilate those auras into the sharpness of the sword body, thereby making itself more and more powerful.

Now that two more innate restrictions have been added, the Red Dust Sword's ability to absorb and transform will definitely be enhanced.

"Not yet..." Hong Chen paused, then turned his eyes and said, "It seems that it is not impossible. You can go by yourself."

"Ok?"

As for negative aura, there should be very few in Heaven, and even if there is, it is not something that Hong Chen can find.

But there is no shortage of it in the human world, and there is no shortage of it in the underworld.

There are too many masters in the underworld, it is not suitable.

So, I can only go to the human world.

However, if a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is allowed to go out on its own, even a Daluo Jinxian would not be able to feel at ease.

After all, there are many powerful beings hidden in the ancient world, and no one can guarantee that they will not choose to be the sixth after seeing the top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

If the Red Dust Sword was taken away, Hong Chen would have no place to cry.

"It's too early to talk about this now. I'll make the arrangements after the recent events are over."

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Putting away the sword, Hong Chen took out the Zhuxian Sword and began to refine it.

As he started, he suddenly found that the progress was much slower than before.

When the immortal consciousness probed into the spiritual treasure, it heard an extremely arrogant snort.

Hong Chen's expression suddenly became serious.

He quietly sealed off his true soul and temporarily isolated the Red Dust Sword's perception, and by the way, he also sealed up other spiritual treasures.

"You know, you are the most powerful and unique in the world..."

What is the greatest invention of mankind?
It's the fucking language!

After finishing all the magic weapons one after another, Hong Chen's refining speed was several times faster than before.

He could even devote his mind to enlightenment during the ritual.

With the Red Dust Sword and the Zhuxian Sword in hand, his comprehension of the sword principles can be said to be rapid.

At the same time, because he had absorbed a large amount of sword essence from various worlds for a long time in the past, he summed up his own insights very smoothly.

A few days later, the sword principles that resonated with the true spirit directly expressed the desire for his exclusive insights.

Without hesitation, he immediately pushed his own understanding towards the great way of sword through the bridge built by his true spirit.

The realm of Xuanxian will come naturally.

In an instant, he came to a place above a long river that had no origin and no end, and the banks were not visible.

In the surging river of swordsmanship, different swords rise and fall, some long, some short, some big, some small.

Some are cast from metal, and some are carved from wood.

Some are going upstream, while others are going downstream.

The higher it goes, the more brilliant and even dazzling the light is; the lower it goes, the more tattered and dim it appears.

Each sword represents a unique law.

They are the insights of countless sword practitioners on the laws of swordsmanship from all over the heavens and worlds.

Hong Chen felt that he was falling. When he fell completely into the river, his perspective suddenly rose and a blazing white sword appeared in the river.

Obviously, it is not the most gorgeous and powerful.

In the endless river of swordsmanship, its brilliance can be considered middle to lower level at best.

So much so that when he looked upstream, he could not find where the brightest sword in the river was.

Originally, he wanted to see whether the sword was the Qingping Sword.

The light of these swords can be directly regarded as the strength or potential of the corresponding sword cultivator.

He may not be the worst, but he is still far from the best.

Hong Chen: Excuse me, what’s the difference between this and asking me to defeat Master Tongtian?
