Mortal Bones

"Don't worry, this time our master and apprentice will no longer be prey, but hunters!"

Hearing that there were still four to five hundred years of preparation time, Xu Taiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just because he's not afraid of taking risks doesn't mean he wants to lose.

Now that they have five hundred years to prepare, the chance of winning in this "sword question" between their master and disciple and the Taixuan Calamity is naturally much greater.

After thinking carefully, Xu Taiping suddenly asked Lu Daoxuan:

"Master, should I refine the copper from Shoushan now?"

Even if he had the furnace body, it would take a lot of time and energy to refine a magical object like the Copper of the First Mountain, so he wanted to complete this matter first before entering the Long Scroll of Time experience.

Unexpectedly, Lu Daoxuan rejected it and said:

"It's too early to refine the copper that protects the mountain."

Xu Taiping said in confusion:

"Why?"

Lu Daoxuan explained:

"Because if we follow the forging method of Taixuan Sect Zhejian Hall, if we want to perfectly refine a piece of Shou Mountain's copper with the Taoist body, our cultivation level must be above the shocking realm."

"And the sword we need, every step during forging must be flawless."

Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said:

"To put it this way, the disciple was indeed a little too hasty."

Lu Daoxuan smiled heartily when he heard this, and then continued:

"But you can go to the coffin today to see if you can refine a copy of the First Yuan before entering the Scroll of Time."

"In this case, even if you encounter unexpected events in the long scroll of time, you can still be reborn with this avatar of the original source."

"It can save an extra life."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping glanced at Fairy Lingyue.

Fairy Lingyue also nodded and said:

"You can try it."

Fairy Lingyue added:

"As long as I'm here, don't worry. Once the Shiyuan clone appears abnormal, I will definitely kill him on the spot."

Although Fairy Lingyue's words were filled with murderous intent, to Xu Taiping's ears, they sounded very suspicious.

So he nodded towards the bronze door and said:

"Disciple, go try it now."

Xu Taiping also wanted to see if this Shiyuan clone was really as magical as his master Lu Daoxuan said.

…

"Bang!"

After a while.

After repeatedly confirming with Lu Daoxuan and Fairy Lingyue the precautions required to refine the Shiyuan clone, Xu Taiping finally lay down in the copper coffin and closed the lid.

And the next moment when the lid of the bronze coffin was closed, Fairy Lingyue suddenly looked at the bronze door with an extremely cold look and said: "Mr. Lu, can you and I hear our words in the coffin?"

Lu Daoxuan seemed to have expected Fairy Lingyue to ask such a question, and replied in a very calm tone:

"Don't worry, he won't hear anything."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Lingyue immediately said in a deep voice:

"Why drag Taiping into the vortex of Taixu Calamity?"

Fairy Lingyue continued to say sharply:

"He could have stayed out of it!"

After Lu Daoxuan heard Fairy Lingyue's stern question, instead of getting angry, he smiled and said in a very gentle tone:

"I can see that Fairy, you really care about Taiping."

Fairy Lingyue frowned and asked:

"Mr. Lu, don't change the subject!"

Lu Daoxuan behind the door smiled, raised his head and took a sip of wine into his mouth, and then asked:

"Fairy, a bird with wings, how long do you think we have to keep him in a cage before he forgets the thought of flying into the sky?"

Fairy Lingyue was silent.

Lu Daoxuan asked himself and answered:

"Never."

Lu Daoxuan added:

"They will never forget, unless you lock him up until he dies."

After speaking, Lu Daoxuan gently knocked on the bronze door with the wine gourd in his hand, clinked glasses with Fairy Lingyue from a distance, and then drank the wine in the wine gourd in Fairy Lingyue's silence.

Then, as if he was reminiscing, he leaned against the bronze door and continued:

"When I first saw him killing a wolf in Qingzhu Residence, I had already secretly designated him as the sword holder of Qingxuan Sect."

"I have a good eye."

"In three years, he won the Seventh Peak election and became an official disciple of the Seventh Peak."

"So I secretly sent the most important skill for a sword wielder, the Shangqing Xuanyuan Clone Technique, into the Qingxuan Sect's Wanjuan Tower."

"After that, he went down the mountain to practice, seize the opportunity, and finally sounded the sword for the first time at Yuhu Peak."

"Every step of the way confirms my vision."

"I am also more and more convinced that he is my successor, the seventh sword holder of Qingxuan Sect."

"But there was one thing that shook me."

"That was the dead end that Zhou Tong and Su Chan teamed up to prepare for Dugu Qingxiao in Thousand Buddha Kingdom."

"He was only in the Tongxuan realm at the time, but after learning that this was a fatal situation, he still threw himself into the situation without hesitation and went to rescue Dugu Qingxiao."

"I was shaken for the first time when I saw him guarding the entrance of the Lotus Temple, fighting all the monks from Zhenwu Tian alone for a day."

"I shouldn't push such a good boy into the dead end of being a sword holder."

"Later at the Golden Scale Society, I even saw the aura of ascending to the sky from him, so I couldn't bear to let him take my dead end."

"And after the Seven Peaks Competition, which was a matter of Qingxuan's life and death."

"After I used the sword hidden in Xu Taiping's body, I completely made up my mind to let him walk the immortal road alone from now on, and no longer be involved in Qingxuan's cause and effect."

"The Forget Worry Wind of Emperor Xuanhuang was supposed to be the best time for him to completely get rid of Qingxuan and Zhenwu's ties, but this kid went all the way to the Old Dragon Court to hunt down the arsonist."

"In order to break the disaster of the Ten Abysses, he once again joined the game, regardless of life and death."

"And then to this Sword Leader Meeting."

"Every time he faced a choice, he did not stay out of it, but chose to fight without hesitation."

"In the Thousand Buddhas Country, he dared to fight for his second brother Dugu Qingxiao's life, in the Golden Scale Club, he dared to fight for Zhenwu Qingxuan's martial arts luck, and in the Golden Court Mansion, he dared to fight for a chance of life for this world."

When he said this, Lu Daoxuan paused and punched the bronze door heavily.

Immediately, he murmured as if he was talking to himself:

"This kid is like a mirror, constantly letting me see my youthful self, humiliating me again and again."

Then, he asked Fairy Lingyue again:

"So, Fairy, what do you think Taiping will choose if he knows the secret of the Taixu Calamity in the future? Will he fight for it, or not?"

After listening to Lu Daoxuan's story, Fairy Lingyue was silent for a while, and then sighed deeply.

She picked up the wine pot in front of her, took a few gulps, and then said:

"He should still fight for it."

After so many years of getting along, Fairy Lingyue knew Xu Taiping's character very well.

Lv Daoxuan laughed heartily upon hearing this, and then said with a resolute tone:

"So, after this sword master meeting, I made a decision."

Fairy Lingyue frowned and asked:

"What decision?"

Lv Daoxuan smiled:

"Either Taiping will end, and the Taixu calamity will come. Instead of letting him go alone, it is better to let me and Qingxuan accompany him to fight!"

"If he loses, Qingxuan will be doomed!"

"If he wins, Qingxuan will ascend to heaven!"

Hearing the words "ascend to heaven", Fairy Lingyue's pupils suddenly dilated, and then she said with an unbelievable look:

"This cause and effect is so big that Qingxuan will ascend to heaven?!"
