The Art of the Great Sword

Chapter 225 Failed to open? The Eternal Star belongs to someone else!

If it were normal times, Liu Mu, as a member of the branch, would definitely not be qualified to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks in the main branch of the Liu clan.

She even didn't have the qualifications to stand shoulder to shoulder with these elders.

In a large family, identity and bloodline are so strictly hierarchical. If you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't. It even has to be ranked before strength.

But now it's different. Liu Mu found the Eternal Star in the deduction for the Liu clan, and it just so happens that the bloodline of the Eternal Star can open the ancient ruins. Liu Mu and Jiang Ding, the couple, have a high status in the Liu clan.

They are no less than ordinary elders!

So, when Liu Mu said this, the elders did not refute it. In their opinion, this is indeed a more important matter at the moment.

"Okay, then go open the ancient ruins first."

An elder said in a deep voice, "Since this matter is of great importance, I must report it to the clan leader."

Liu Mu nodded, she was still looking forward to it.

Once Lu Ningwei's blood essence is used as the secret key to open the ancient ruins, the status of the three of them will be further improved, and Lu Ningwei will be trained by the Liu clan with all her strength, and eventually become a generation of genius in Dongzhou.

No, Dongzhou is not the end!

"You will rest in the clan for the time being. Once there is news from the clan leader, I will be the first to inform you."

The elder temporarily settled Liu Mu, Jiang Ding, and Lu Ningwei in a palace of the family. This palace is indescribably luxurious, and it is many times more glorious than the Tianhuo Sect.

After all, the Liu clan is the largest family in Dongzhou, the first family, the first force...even the Huo family is difficult to compare. This kind of foundation accumulated over the years is obviously not covered.

"Master, who is the strongest person in the Liu clan, and to what extent?"

Lu Ningwei looked at everything around her, her ambition continued to expand. The more she saw, the different her mood became.

She wanted to gradually become stronger, leaving behind everyone she could see, to be unique, to become a super strong person in everyone's mind.

"Of course it's a saint."

Liu Mu said, "There are two saints in the entire Liu clan, namely the current clan leader Liu Wuqing, and a supreme elder. The supreme elder has been in seclusion for more than a thousand years, but in these thousand years, as long as the Liu clan is in crisis, he will appear."

"Two saints?"

Lu Ningwei murmured, it seems that the transition from the king of the divine destiny realm to the holy realm is a hurdle, a threshold that is difficult to cross, and not everyone has the talent to rush into the holy realm.

Also, the importance of the luck of becoming a saint!

No wonder the Liu clan attaches so much importance to the coming great struggle.

Once the luck of becoming a saint flows out, each family will fight for it. With the foundation of the Liu family, if they grab one, they will have one more saint-level strongman, and if they grab two, they will have two more saint-level strongmen.

They have many elders in the king realm, and there are even some kings in the divine destiny realm. Everything is ready, except luck!

"Yes, it is not so easy to cross the stage from the Divine Fate Realm Prince to the Saint. Otherwise, there would not be only two Saints in the Liu Clan in the past thousand years."

Liu Mu explained, "However, I am more optimistic about my husband. His talent and the speed of his rise are faster than any Divine Fate Realm Prince of the Liu Clan. Maybe he will become a Saint faster than the Divine Fate Realm Elders of the Liu Clan!"

"Saint is definitely a dividing line. Once you become a Saint, you will find that all your past thoughts are so ridiculous. All those below the Saint are ants. This sentence is not just talk, but the experience summed up by countless people with hard work."

When Jiang Ding talked about Saints, brilliant fire burned in his eyes. He took a few deep breaths in succession and tried to suppress his overly exposed ambition.

Everyone wants to become a Saint, but how many people can really grasp the opportunity?

Soon, an elder of the Liu clan came over, "I have reported this to the clan leader, but the clan leader is at a critical moment of cultivation and cannot get away. Several of us elders will go with you."

"Okay."

Liu Mu nodded, she was faintly excited.

She knew that the Liu clan was also waiting. Once Lu Ningwei could really open the ancient ruins, the status of the three people would rise instantly.

Jiang Ding was a prince of the Divine Fate Realm. Even in the Liu clan, he was second only to the saint. After opening the ancient ruins, Jiang Ding's importance would soar, and he could definitely reserve a place for the Liu clan to become a saint in advance.

Everyone knows how important the ancient ruins are, which can enable the Liu clan to gradually develop from the hegemon of Dongzhou to Zhongzhou.

"Let's go."

The elder took the initiative to lead the way.

Halfway through, Liu Mu counted and found that there were a total of five elders following, and three of the five elders were princes of the Divine Fate Realm.

After all, it is the Liu clan, with a deep foundation!

Under the leadership of this elder, everyone passed through corridors and finally entered the back mountain of the Liu clan. This was a forbidden area strictly prohibited by the Liu clan, and outsiders were not allowed to enter at will.

In the back mountain, several princes were guarding, and they were allowed to enter after negotiations between the two parties.

"This ancient relic is very large, larger than you can imagine. Legend has it that this was left by a real dragon... Of course, legends are just legends, and no one knows the truth."

The elder explained to the others, "Why have we started to speed up the preparations for this ancient ruins recently? Because we found that this ancient ruins is extremely large. The entrance we found... is likely to be just one of them. We can control the entrance, and other forces may also control it. We must speed up to get the treasures inside before others."

"Are there many entrances?"

Lu Ningwei frowned, "But, other entrances cannot be entered without my blood essence as the secret key, right? Even if there is an entrance, it will be futile if there is no way to enter it."

"That's what you said, but you have to know that the way to enter may not only be blood essence as the secret key. It is also possible that the way to enter each entrance is different."

The elder shook his head, "We can only do what we can do, and leave the rest to God. I won't say more. We are about to enter the entrance."

He pinched several complicated spiritual patterns in succession to open the formation in front.

The formation was divided into two, forming a road large enough for people to pass through. As everyone stepped into it, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

It was dark at first, and when the light appeared again, everyone found that they had entered a cave. In front of them was a huge gate covered with patterns, at least tens of meters high, like a mountain that suppressed everything, which made people feel horrified.

"It is this door. We lack the secret key made of blood essence."

An elder stepped forward, stretched out his old hand and rubbed it, looking worried, "For so many years, we have tried everything but couldn't open this door. Later, after deduction, we learned that it needed a blood secret key to open it, and the blood secret key was on the body of the eternal rising star of the Tianhuo Sect!"

Everyone turned their eyes to Lu Ningwei, and everyone's eyes were full of expectation. The eternal rising star deduced by the Liu clan was her.

Next, she will open the door with the blood secret key!

All the treasures in the ancient ruins will be monopolized by the Liu clan.

When they thought of this, they were excited.

"Ningwei, it's your turn to make a move."

Liu Mu cleared his throat, "Once you do this well, you will be held in the palm of the Liu clan like a star and the moon, and you can enjoy all the cultivation resources. When that time comes... what does Fang Qingyang count as?"

"I have never taken Fang Qingyang seriously, never."

Lu Ningwei had a blank expression on her face. Her expression was the same as always, cold and beautiful with a mixture of sharpness and arrogance. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, she stepped forward and came to the gate.

Looking at the tall giant gate, Lu Ningwei murmured, "I feel a force emerging from the giant gate, faintly resonating with the spiritual energy in my body, it... it is calling for my power!"

Many elders were overjoyed. They had not made a move, but they had already sensed the resonance. As expected, she was worthy of being the eternal rising star. She was the hope that the Liu clan was looking for.

"Quick, get out of the way!"

The elder couldn't wait to yell, asking everyone to get out of the way and not to affect Lu Ningwei's performance.

Lu Ningwei stood in front of the giant gate. With the brilliant light emitted by the spiritual pattern on the giant gate, she closed her eyes slightly, and her whole body was bathed in the brilliant light, as if she was the only goddess in the world.

Everyone looked at her back, holding their breath. The place was extremely quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was full of hope, and they couldn't help but clench their fists.

Finally, Lu Ningwei raised her hand, and a drop of bright red blood condensed on her fingertips. As the blood appeared, her face became a little pale, and it was obvious that she had consumed a lot.

This was the essence and blood condensed by Lu Ningwei!

"One drop, not enough."

Lu Ningwei murmured to herself, she exerted her strength again, condensed more blood into shape, and then tried to shape it into the shape of a secret key.

"Look, the hole of the secret key is on the giant gate. After the essence and blood condense into shape, you just put the secret key on it."

The elder was excited, as if he had seen the giant gate being opened in advance.

Jiang Ding even raised his breath. Whether Lu Ningwei can open this huge door is of great significance to him. Whether he can ascend to heaven in one step depends on her.

Lu Ningwei finally molded her blood essence into the shape of a secret key. Her body slowly floated up, parallel to the gap. Then she stretched out her white arm and slowly pushed the secret key in, tightly fitting.

A terrifying force burst out from the huge door, and all the elders roared excitedly, as if they could no longer conceal their emotions.

After so many years, is the Liu clan finally seeing hope of making a breakthrough?

In Dongzhou, it has never been the goal of the Liu clan to dominate a small place in a corner. They want to enter Dongzhou for development and become more and more powerful.

This ancient relic is definitely a ladder to heaven!

"Do you feel it? Look at this terrifying aura. The huge door is definitely about to be opened."

"How many years have I waited for this moment for so many years!"

"God bless my Liu clan!"

The elders roared, venting their excitement, and some even burst into tears.

Liu Mu smiled brightly. She felt that her decision to go to the Skyfire Sect was the right one. Otherwise, how could she have achieved the success today?

Under the gaze of all eyes, the terrifying power that overflowed suddenly dissipated after a round of explosions, as if it had never appeared.

The complicated spiritual patterns on the giant door only flashed twice and then completely disappeared, as if there had never been any movement.

As for Lu Ningwei, she looked at her palm in astonishment.

The secret key condensed by the blood essence had completely dissipated.

All the energy and breath disappeared at this moment.

"No... no?"

Lu Ningwei thought she had sensed it wrongly, and a gleam of unbelievable light flashed in her beautiful eyes, "Why is this happening?"

She condensed blood again, and waves of weakness came over her. All this reminded her that it was not a dream before. She did condense a huge amount of blood essence, but it was completely consumed.

Behind her, the people with ecstasy on their faces also showed confusion at this moment. Why... there was no movement for a long time?

It has been so long, why hasn't the secret key condensed by the blood essence opened this huge giant door? Why is it so?

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone's face was puzzled.

"Ningwei, how is the situation, is the giant door opened?"

Liu Mu asked first.

The previous movement was so huge that they were all shocked. When everything is calm, there should be some progress, right?

Lu Ningwei didn't say anything. She clenched her teeth tightly and trembled.

She didn't know why this happened. She said she was an eternal rising star and her blood could open the ancient ruins. But she tried and it didn't work. Was fate playing a joke on her?

Jiang Ding seemed to have a premonition of something. He was the first to step forward. He scanned her eyes and understood something in an instant.

"Her realm is too low. She is only at the ninth level of the supernatural realm. With her current blood power, it may be difficult to open this giant door, but... you also saw it before. The giant door had already shown signs of opening under the stimulation of her blood, but it failed in the end. In the final analysis, it was all because of the realm!"

Jiang Ding said to everyone.

He was helping Lu Ningwei out.

"Failed?"

Everyone found it difficult to accept the reality. The ancient ruins they had been looking forward to for so long could not be opened. It seemed that they had to return home in disappointment.

On the way back, an elder raised a question, "Is it really because of the low realm that you can't open this ancient ruins?"

"Of course, do you think anyone who comes here can resonate with this ancient ruins?"

Jiang Ding sneered, "Lu Ningwei is a rising star of the ages, and the only way to open the ancient ruins. There is no doubt about this. This time it didn't work, which means that her realm is too low. The Liu clan should provide her with more cultivation resources and strive to let her advance to the king realm as soon as possible!"

Many elders thought about these words carefully and felt that there was some truth in them.

There is no other way at the moment, so we can only work hard to help her improve.

"Okay, then you follow me to get the cultivation resources. Don't worry, we in the Liu clan still value her very much."

One of the elders said.

Soon, Jiang Ding returned from the Liu clan's treasure house with a full load. He took many king realm pills, spiritual weapons, spiritual medicines, and spiritual patterns to help Lu Ningwei improve.

After Lu Ningwei thanked him, she began to retreat with the cultivation resources.

Liu Mu sighed, "It seems that we are too anxious. With her realm of supernatural power, she still cannot open the ancient ruins. I wonder if entering the realm of kings and princes will be better."

"Do you really think it is a problem of realm?"

Jiang Ding looked calm, "Could it be that it is fundamentally wrong?"

"Wrong?"

Liu Mu was shocked. She quickly raised her hand to condense a barrier to prevent the conversation between the two from being heard by outsiders. After doing all this, she lowered her voice and asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying that the Liu clan's original deduction and prophecy were wrong?"

"No, the deduction is correct, but you may be wrong."

Jiang Ding clenched his palms slightly, and said with a low look, "At the beginning, the deduction said that the eternal new star was in the Tianhuo Sect, so you think it is Lu Ningwei, right?"

"Yes, the Tianhuo Sect is just a small sect in a corner. Apart from Lu Ningwei, there is no other genius worth noting. If there is really an eternal new star emerging from it, it must be Lu Ningwei!"

Liu Mu's voice is firm.

"Why, not Fang Qingyang?"

Jiang Ding's eyes became deep at this moment, and he asked softly, "Have you ever thought about why it was Lu Ningwei instead of Fang Qingyang?"

Liu Mu was stunned for a moment.

She really hadn't thought of such a possibility.

"You can see from the duel at the Longmen Conference this time that even though Lu Ningwei is the prodigy you cultivated, you should admit that her strength is not as good as Fang Qingyang!"

"It was Fang Qingyang who amazed the whole audience this time, not Lu Ningwei! He is a three-practice practitioner of physical skills, magic and swordsmanship, and he has tested out ten thousand stars in the way of magic, which is brilliant and dazzling. Even the Taoist prodigy can't compare with him!"

Jiang Ding growled, "In terms of swordsmanship, he can be compared with Su Luochuan. In terms of physical strength, he can suppress Tuoba Feng. In terms of magic, even Situ Qing and Tianri, the two Taoist prodigies, are not his opponents. These are just single-player discussions. If all the strengths are added together, how terrifying would it be? I ask you!"

Jiang Ding had no scruples in these words and asked Liu Mu directly.

Liu Mu took a deep breath and murmured, "I... I never thought of this possibility, because Fang Qingyang was expelled from the sect early on, and I didn't even have the opportunity to approach him or get to know him alone..."

"Because of this, you have always thought that Lu Ningwei is the eternal new star that the Liu Clan is looking for. You have never considered other possibilities. But this time, you have also seen the consequences of using blood essence as the secret key to open the formation. It was a complete failure. !”

A vein appeared on Jiang Ding's forehead, "Believe it or not, if Fang Qingyang was standing here and he condensed his essence and blood into a secret key to open that giant door, he would definitely succeed!"

Liu Mu felt dizzy for a while. She stretched out her hand to support her forehead. Her face was pale and bloodless, "Husband, is this really like this? I, I am a little unwilling. Our future is bound to Lu Ningwei. If she can't Obtaining a transcendent status within the Liu clan will also affect our futures!"

Jiang Ding gritted his teeth, "Whatever realm is not enough, those are all lies I made up on the spur of the moment. I have to find a way out for Lu Ningwei. I can't let the Liu clan doubt this, but this can be concealed for a while, and it can be concealed for a while. If Lu Ningwei reaches the princely realm and still cannot open the ancient ruins, everything will be revealed. "

"Then what do we do?"

Liu Mu panicked. Her dream had always been to return to the main line and have a transcendent status. Seeing that this was about to happen, she was told that everything was false.

It was hard for her heart to bear all this.

Jiang Ding's eyes were fierce, "Sooner or later, this matter will be exposed. The Liu people are not fools. Now there is only one solution, and that is in the next era of great strife, I will get the luck of sainthood and become a saint! Only in this way, Liu Only then will the clan look at me with admiration and accept you and Lu Ningwei!"

"right."

Liu Mu had always been arbitrary in small matters, but in front of Jiang Ding, she seemed to have no brains and relied on him for everything.

"Also, regarding the Yaochi Holy Land, I need you to borrow resources from the family. You must not delay it any longer. I need more evil spirit inside!"

Jiang Ding roared, "Without further delay, you immediately go to ask for more resources from the Liu Clan and come to help me!"

"Okay, I'll go now."

Liu Mu nodded and walked out of the barrier without saying a word.

Jiang Ding frowned. He looked at Liu Mu's back and murmured, "She can even pick the wrong person. She is really a... stupid woman. If she could have accepted Fang Qingyang as a disciple, she would have All problems will be solved!"

But it's too late to say anything now. Fortunately, Lu Ningwei's talent is equally terrifying. Although not as good as Fang Qingyang, she is much better than other geniuses of the Liu clan.

If this continues, even if the Liu Clan finds out that she is not the person they are looking for in the future, they will still hold her up based on the talent she has fulfilled.

It doesn't matter, the most important thing is how much you can earn from this game.

Jiang Ding is a selfish person. In order to become a saint, he wants to use everything around him. Everyone around him is his pawn and controlled by him.

The Sword Dynasty is the same, the Yaochi Holy Land is the same, and even Liu Mu is the same!

Soon, Liu Mu came back. She looked a little happy, "I borrowed a holy realm spiritual weapon. They said that you can borrow it for three months, but you must return it after three months!"

Jiang Ding was suddenly overjoyed, his eyes flashed with excitement, "Is it that cloak?"

The Liu Clan has always had a Holy Realm Spirit Weapon, which is also their clan treasure, called the Yin Yang Cloak. When worn on the body, it can reverse the Yin and Yang, and can withstand no matter how terrifying the attack is.

The most important thing is that this cloak can block the evil spirit and evil spirit, making it invulnerable to all poisons.

Jiang Ding has been coveting the Yin-Yang Heaven Cloak for a long time, but he has never had the chance. He has been instilling this idea in Liu Mu on weekdays, telling her that the Yin-Yang Heaven Cloak is very important to him. Unexpectedly, Liu Muchen borrowed this treasure from the Liu clan.

"right!"

Liu Mu was very happy, "Husband, I know that the Yin Yang Heaven Cloak is of great significance to you. Only this sacred object can help you offset the evil spirit in the cracks in the Yaochi Holy Land!"

"Mu'er, you are truly my husband's treasure!"

A joyful smile appeared on Jiang Ding's handsome face. He held Liu Mu in his arms, his eyes flashing with brilliant golden light.

Lend yourself three months?

Should it be returned after three months?

hehe.

Now that the treasure is in his own hands, how can there be any reason to return it?
