Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 90: Cold Immortal Bamboo, Lonely Peak by the Abyss

Dongxuan Territory, Taiqing Territory.

Jiutian Taiqing Palace.

The morning mist makes this fairyland, which is already fairy-like and like a paradise, even more ethereal. In the bamboo forest, the morning breeze sways the bamboo shadows and makes rustling sounds. Not only is there no noise, but it adds a bit of elegance and tranquility.

In the swaying bamboo shadows, a clear shadow was dancing with the bamboo forest. The clear and graceful long sword in his hand, when waved, could actually cause the surrounding mist to surge.

The rolling mist condensed into a figure holding a sword in front of the cold woman. As the sword was swung, the phantom sword in the mist shadow's hand also danced along with it.

One man and one shadow, one real and one illusion, the two swords sometimes overlap and sometimes cross each other.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a chill emanated from the cold woman, and the mist in front of her was instantly dispersed, turning into mist and merging into the bamboo forest.

The woman stood with her sword put away. Her face without the veil was so stunning. Even though she was wearing a plain dress, she still had a kind of otherworldly beauty.

Ling Qingzhu turned her head to look at the sky, and soon, the figure of a beautiful woman quickly appeared, and finally landed in front of Ling Qingzhu.

Looking at the cold and aloof person so close to him, the Palace Master of Jiutian Taiqing Palace couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and a hint of heartache subconsciously emerged in his eyes, which made Ling Qingzhu's expression soften a little.

"Master!"

Ling Qingzhu clasped her fists and bowed to the Palace Master of Jiutian Taiqing Palace and spoke softly. Upon hearing this, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace quickly suppressed some of the emotions in her heart, nodded to Ling Qingzhu with a somewhat relieved smile.

"Qingzhu, how is your practice lately?"

After returning from the Great Yan Dynasty, Ling Qingzhu, who had always been very diligent in his practice, moved directly to the bamboo forest in the back mountain and practiced hard.

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace naturally understood that Ling Qingzhu was working so hard because she was defeated by Lin Xuan and suffered a blow. She was unwilling to fall behind.

After all, Ling Qingzhu has been personally guided in her practice by the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace since she was very young, and she has also been trained with the resources of Jiutian Taiqing Palace. Compared with Lin Xuan, who only relies on the Lin clan, this treatment is completely different.

You can tell something from the treasures. The sword in Ling Qingzhu's hand is a pure treasure with the soul mark of the Palace Master of Jiutian Taiqing Palace on it. Outsiders dare not rob it. She also got the secret treasure that has been preserved in Jiutian Taiqing Palace - it is said to be a divine object passed down from ancient times, the Ancient Green Sky Lotus!
There is no need to mention the other treasures and the martial arts learned.

Compared to Ling Qingzhu's treasures, Lin Xuan undoubtedly looked much more shabby, just like a poor country boy. The only thing he had on his body that could be considered a good opportunity was the sword, and he didn't have any other treasures.

The huge difference in treatment does not seem to be reflected in strength. Although they are both in the realm of creation, the combat effectiveness of the two people is also very different, but this time it is the other way around.

Lin Xuan, who came from a poor family, was able to rely on his natural talent and understanding to easily defeat Ling Qingzhu. What hit Ling Qingzhu even harder was the battle between Lin Xuan, who had just entered the Nirvana realm, and the primordial spirit.

In that battle, Lin Xuan exerted his full strength, with the strength of a One Yuan Nirvana Realm and a One Seal Heavenly Talisman Master, he unexpectedly burst out with the might of a Five Yuan Nirvana Realm.

Obviously, when fighting with her before, Lin Xuan showed mercy because of her identity!

Thinking back to Lin Xuan's previous comment about herself, 'The girl's strength is not inferior to mine', Ling Qingzhu only felt a sense of irony!
As a fellow genius, Ling Qingzhu was naturally proud. She was unwilling and did not want to fall behind others, especially since the other party had far fewer resources than hers.

Under this kind of hard training, Ling Qingzhu's strength has also improved significantly. Not only has his cultivation reached the peak of the Five Elements Nirvana Realm, but he has also made a breakthrough in his comprehension of the Supreme Induction Art.

Especially her breakthrough in the Supreme Sensing Technique, even her master was full of praise, believing that she would be the person with the greatest hope of comprehending the Supreme power since ancient times, and thus truly inheriting the tradition of Taiqing Palace.

"Master, let's do it again. Qingzhu is confident that he will never lose to others!"

Facing the master's questions, Ling Qingzhu, who had always been cold and indifferent, exuded a rare spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat.

If it were in the past, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace would naturally be happy. She had always said before that although Ling Qingzhu had amazing talent and was the most talented disciple since the founding of Jiutian Taiqing Palace, Ling Qingzhu's temperament was too indifferent and cold, which was not conducive to her cultivation.

Although Jiutian Taiqing Palace has always forbidden the descendants of the palace master to break the ban, it is because the practice of Tai Shang Sensing Jue is special. The founder of the sect once said that the power of Tai Shang can sense the heaven and earth, and only when the body is intact can one realize the perfection of the heaven and earth.

But not being able to lose one's virginity does not mean being indifferent and heartless. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are sometimes a form of spiritual practice, a practice and tempering of one's mind.

After being defeated by Lin Xuan, Ling Qingzhu was obviously more lively and emotional. Therefore, her practice during this period was very smooth. Whether it was her cultivation or the Supreme Sensing Technique, she made rapid progress.

But today, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace looked at his disciple's confident and determined face, sighed slightly in his heart, and finally chose not to hide it.

"Qingzhu, yesterday, a disciple came to report that he had met that person in Dahuang County of the Great Yan Dynasty."

As soon as the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace finished speaking, a gaze fell from the side and stared at her closely. Although she did not say anything, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace understood what Ling Qingzhu meant.

"That deacon saw it with his own eyes. That person displayed the power of the Supreme!"

As long as one can exert a little bit of the power of the Supreme, one has successfully entered the door. It can be said that one has truly inherited the Taiqing Palace. However, among the successors of the Jiutian Taiqing Palace, no one has successfully entered the door before this!
Yes, no Palace Master has ever been able to master the Supreme Sensing Technique and thus grasp even a trace of the Supreme power!

Even the founder of Jiutian Taiqing Palace was blocked from entering the sect because his Yuanyin body was broken, which is why there is the palace rule mentioned later.

Hearing the words of the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace, Ling Qingzhu did not say anything, but her pupils shrank slightly, and the jade hand holding the sword involuntarily exerted force, even too hard, causing the knuckles of her fingers to turn white.

The slightly rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and Ling Qingzhu's originally confident face suddenly became cold and indifferent, as if telling strangers not to approach her.

The power of the Supreme!

The most core inheritance of Jiutian Taiqing Palace, even for Ling Qingzhu herself, whose comprehension of the Tai Shang Ganying Jue has greatly increased recently, she is expected to become the first successor of Jiutian Taiqing Palace to successfully practice, but it is only a hope.

"Master, I want to go to Linyuan Peak for retreat!"

Linyuan Peak!
The pupils of the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace shrank, and he looked at the determination on his disciple's face in disbelief.

Linyuan Peak is not a good place. It is extremely cold and there is a soul-corrosive wind that lingers all year round. Even a strong person in the realm of life and death will suffer damage to his soul if he stays there for too long. If he cannot recover in time, the origin of his soul will be directly damaged.

Therefore, Linyuan Peak has always been a forbidden area of ​​Jiutian Taiqing Palace, a place used to detain prisoners and those who have committed heinous crimes.

Of course, if Linyuan Peak was just like this, it would only be a place of imprisonment, and it would not be called a forbidden place. The reason why it could really become a forbidden place and prohibit disciples from going there was because it was the place where Jiutian Taiqing Palace originated. In the past, the founder of Jiutian Taiqing Palace was hunted down and fled to Linyuan Peak, where he eventually inherited the Jiutian Taiqing Palace and thus created the Jiutian Taiqing Palace lineage.

It is also the place where the founder of Jiutian Taiqing Palace passed away. After his death, the founder left a will prohibiting other disciples from going there without permission.

In the past, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace would naturally not agree to Ling Qingzhu's request, but now, looking at the determination on his disciple's face, the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace knew in his heart that if he did not agree, with Ling Qingzhu's strong and stubborn character, she would go to Linyuan Peak to retreat on her own.

"Well, but you can only practice for a month at most each time. Otherwise, I will have to ground you!"

One month was almost reaching Ling Qingzhu's limit. If it lasted any longer, it would easily cause some hidden injuries.

"Yes, thank you Master!"

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace stood where he was, looking at the figure floating away, shook his head slightly, and sighed softly.

"Fool, why do you have to fight for victory or defeat? Cultivation is your own business. If you are so competitive, you will only suffer in the end!"

The Palace Master of Taiqing Palace knew his disciple's temperament too well. He was too arrogant and would not tolerate losing to others. Indeed, Ling Qingzhu's talent was rare in the world. He was the most talented person since the establishment of Jiutian Taiqing Palace.

But that person's talent is enough to rival the Eight Ancient Lords, and he can even catch up with the legendary Master Fu Zu, and he is expected to reach the ancestral realm above the Samsara realm.

What's more, according to the report of the deacon, Lin Xuan is very likely to possess such a divine object as the Ancestral Talisman. By then, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger.

But the Palace Master of Taiqing Palace was unable to persuade Ling Qingzhu. As she herself said, cultivation is one's own business, and this kind of thing ultimately requires Ling Qingzhu to let go of it herself.

……

Great Yan Dynasty, Yancheng.

In the forest, Lin Xuan stood aside, looking at Lin Qingtan who was practicing some other martial arts. There was a special light flowing in his eyes. Chen Kui beside him saw this and asked with a smile.

"What do you think of my junior sister's talent, Sword Saint?"

"She is extremely talented. Her understanding of this martial art has improved rapidly. Every time she practices, she can learn from the previous experience and become more perfect."

In response to Chen Kui's question, Lin Xuan nodded slightly and said that Lin Qingtan's talent was indeed very good, especially her exquisite use of the extremely yin energy.

"Her use of the extremely yin energy is far superior to Lin Xuan's."

The smile on Chen Kui's face froze slightly. He turned around and glanced at the person next to him. He seemed to always have a serious look on his face, and his expression became strange.

"Ok?"

Lin Xuan, who was watching Lin Qingtan practicing, suddenly turned his head and quickly locked his eyes on a space where there was a very faint dark force.

Bo Xuan appeared, nodded to Lin Xuan, then turned his gaze to Lin Qingtan who was practicing, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Bo Xuan didn't expect that Lin Qingtan, who was deeply hurt by love yesterday, was not affected at all, and was even more focused on practicing.

Subconsciously, Bo Xuan looked at Lin Xuan beside him. He knew his stupid disciple well and knew it couldn't be related to him, so the most likely person was Lin Xuan beside him.

Facing Bo Xuan's gaze, Lin Xuan shook his head gently. Seeing that Bo Xuan didn't believe him, he couldn't help but explain softly.

"It has nothing to do with me, I just saw her once last night when we were drinking."

Bo Xuan absolutely believed the latter sentence, but he only half believed the former sentence. Perhaps Lin Xuan felt that it had nothing to do with him. After all, this guy really didn't seem to understand feelings very well.

But as the saying goes, if you understand one thing, you will understand everything. For some things, an unintentional word may be able to enlighten others.

"Is the matter resolved?"

Bo Xuan's eyes made Lin Xuan feel inexplicably awkward, so he took the initiative to speak. Bo Xuan nodded slightly when he heard it, but did not elaborate. This kind of thing can be understood intuitively, and it is not something that Chen Kui and the others can know now.

"Are you Hui today?"

"I drank at someone else's wedding, so I came here to deliver the wedding invitations. Now that the wedding invitations have been delivered, it's time for me to go back to seclusion!"

That battle gave Lin Xuan a great insight. There is great terror between life and death, as well as great wisdom and great opportunity!
For Lin Xuan, that battle was a journey between life and death. After his life burned out, he was between life and death and was able to realize the true meaning of Nirvana.

Now, Lin Xuan has only broken through the Six-Element Nirvana Realm because he has not had time to start condensing his soul. Therefore, next, Lin Xuan needs to go into seclusion quietly and condense his soul while breaking through the Seven-Element Nirvana Realm.

Hearing this, Bo Xuan couldn't help but look at Lin Xuan strangely. As a strong man in the Wheel-Turning Realm, how could Bo Xuan not sense the aura of the Nirvana Fire and the power of wind and thunder that had not yet completely dissipated from Lin Xuan's body.

In other words, this fellow, not long after having achieved a breakthrough once, was able to break through again in seclusion, as if there was no bottleneck in his practice.

However, with this guy's talent, it seems that he really doesn't have any bottleneck, unlike him, who has been trapped in the reincarnation realm for so many years!

After calming himself down, Bo Xuan raised his hand, and a dark force covered the two of them. Then he took out a broken arm from his Qiankun bag, handed it to Lin Xuan and said.

"Then help me deal with this thing!"

"What is this? The arm of the Ninth Palace?"

Lin Xuan sensed the familiar demonic aura on his arm, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he nodded gently, thinking that Bo Xuan wanted him to help refine it into a spiritual sword, and responded softly.

"During the clan meeting, you can ask Lin Qingtan to come and get it!"
