Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 640: Feast of Inquiry
In the Jingtian Sect, Canghai Gujian and Tai Kuangsheng, who had just returned from the Red Tower Sword Pavilion, asked their disciples to leave as soon as they came back, saying that they had something private to discuss.

After the disciples left, Tai Kuangsheng could not help but shout angrily, "Shame, this is a huge shame. I thought participating in the Red Tower Sword Competition would allow the Jingtian Sect to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains, but I didn't expect it would lead to a complete loss of face."

As he spoke, Tai Kuangsheng could no longer suppress his anger and vented it on the stone pillars in the hall, leaving several deep sword marks on them.

"Grand Master, Murong Yanyu and Ren Jianshui humiliated us like this, are we just going to just endure it?" The narrow-minded Tai Kuangsheng attributed the failure of this sword fight entirely to Murong Yanyu and Ren Jianshui, and wanted to take revenge on them.

Canghai Gujian replied: "The Jingtian Sect will naturally not forcefully swallow this grudge."

Canghai Gujian appears to be modest, friendly and kind, but in fact he is a complete hypocrite. With his cold and deep personality, he will certainly not let Murong Yanyu and Ren Jianshui go.

Tai Kuangsheng confused right and wrong and said, "I was embarrassed to lose the sword duel this time. Murong Yanyu even harbored evil intentions. She said something to provoke me in order to get me out of the game. She defeated me in an almost humiliating way and broke up my marriage with the Grand Palace Master. If I don't get revenge for this, Tai Kuangsheng will not be a human being."

Canghai Gujian said: "Since Murong Yanyu is old and doesn't want to spend his old age in peace, let him die early."

Tai Kuangsheng asked: "The Great Master wanted to seek help from Baili Huangquan before, what was the result?"

"Speaking of this, I was just about to tell my junior brother that I was heading to Zimoxuan. Unexpectedly, the place was already deserted, and there was no trace of Baili Huangquan."

Tai Kuangsheng immediately cursed: "What an ungrateful person who doesn't care about the kindness at all."

Canghai Gujian said his plan, "What did the East Sea Sword Sect say some time ago? What do you think?"

"The Grand Master is saying that the Sword Sect invited us to join the World of Consciousness."

"That's right. What do you think about this, Junior Brother?"

Tai Kuangsheng said, "During this sword duel, you also saw the attitude of Jian Wuji and Murong Shengxue, the two special envoys of Ziyao Tianchao, towards Jingtian Sect, Great Sect Leader."

"Besides, if we want to deal with Murong Yanyu and promote the reputation of Jingtian Sect, we will inevitably face Murong Shengxue and the Ziyao Dynasty behind him. The Ziyao Dynasty's ban on military action and a series of recent reforms have already infringed on the interests of many people. Although the World of Wisdom has suffered a great defeat recently, there are still many people who oppose the Dynasty and have joined the World of Wisdom one after another."

"Master, in my opinion, it is better for us to accept the invitation of the Sword Sect and join the World of Consciousness. We can look after each other and use the power of the World of Consciousness to deal with Murong Yanyu and Ren Jianshui. If the World of Consciousness succeeds, we can also gain considerable benefits."

Canghai Gujian agreed with what Tai Kuangsheng said, "Junior brother, what you said coincides with what I think. Since we can't stay in the Central Plains, we should go to the World of Consciousness. I will reply to the Sword Sect right away that the Jingtian Sect is willing to go to the World of Consciousness. Junior brother, go down and prepare."

"kindness."

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
The Red Mansion Sword Pavilion Questioning Banquet began. The four Sword Pavilion Palace Masters, Zhao Yunshang, Lou Wuhen, Fei Yuyuanji, and Feiying, gathered in the hall to ask about their sword hearts.

Two special envoys from the Celestial Empire, Jian Wuji and Murong Shengxue, stood by as witnesses.

The first person to enter was Ren Piaomiao, who said that the sword in his heart "does not cling to form, does not attach to appearance", and is an invisible and formless sword. Piaomiao's sword technique is just an explanation of the state of each stage of oneself, not a sword technique.

Zhao Yunshang exclaimed at his unique insights into the way of the sword as being wonderful.

The second person to enter is Yagyu Kenkage, who believes that the sword in his heart is "unreachable, unheard of, and unspeakable". The sword is in his heart, without the form and meaning of moves. The Ten Thousand Gods Tribulation is the ultimate tangible, the journey to the Tao, not the result. The ultimate meaning of the Tao is the manifestation of the intangible.

This discussion on swordsmanship left Zhao Yunshang with a deep impression.

The third person entered the Ren Jian Shui competition and believed that the sword should be used to "advance but not retreat, attack but not defend, the strong should advance, the weak should retreat, and the enemy should be defeated by force."

This made Zhao Yunshang feel that Ren Jianshui's swordsmanship was superb.

The last person to enter was Murong Yanyu, the one Zhao Yunshang cared about the most, who entered the realm of no sword moves.

Zhao Yunshang asked the same question as she did to the three people before: "What is the sword in your mind?"

Murong Yanyu replied: "When the moves are made, there are no moves; when the sword arrives, there is no sword."

As he spoke, Murong Yanyu showed the Xieyang wooden sword, "This sword is called Xieyang, and it is the symbol of the Murong Mansion."

Zhao Yunshang asked: "Since there is no sword, where does the weapon come from?" "Since there is no sword, why bother with the things in your hand."

Zhao Yunshang further asked: "Sir, do you have a sword in your heart?"

"If there is no sword in my heart, everything within my reach is my sword; everything within my sight is also my sword."

"Sir, you are truly worthy of being called the Sword God." Zhao Yunshang continued to ask, "Have you ever been defeated?"

Murong Yanyu admitted: "I was defeated eighty years ago."

Zhao Yunshang asked curiously, "Who on earth can defeat you, sir?"

"The Lord of the Southern Jin Sword Pavilion, Liu Bai."

'How good is this man's swordsmanship?

"The strongest man in the world, no one can match him in the swordsmanship."

"Even the gentleman who has comprehended the realm of sword without moves is not his opponent?"

Murong Yanyu said, "In the past eighty years, I have made progress, but it does not mean that I will stand still. 'Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns.' These seventeen words are Liu Bai's sword."

Zhao Yunshang couldn't believe that such a person existed. "Is Liu Bai really that powerful?"

"If you have met Liu Bai, you will understand that he is the most worthy person in the world to be called the 'Sword Saint'. Once his sword comes out, there will only be that one sword left in the world."

"Thank you Mr. Murong for clearing up my doubts." Zhao Yunshang invited Murong Yanyu down.

Feiying asked impatiently: "Sister, who have you decided to choose?"

"This." Zhao Yunshang was reluctant to say it out loud because there was a special envoy from the Heavenly Dynasty nearby.

Jian Wuji immediately said to Zhao Yunshang, "Grand Palace Master, there is no need to worry about the two of us. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said before that the two of us are only witnesses and will not interfere in the affairs of the Sword Pavilion."

Murong Shengxue also said: "Next, it is the private affairs of several palace masters. It is inconvenient for us to stay here, so we will go down and rest.

"Well, thank you two special envoys for your understanding. Lao Jian." Zhao Yunshang called over Yu Wen Lao Jian and ordered, "Send the two special envoys back to rest."

"please."

After Jian Wuji and Murong Shengxue left, Feiying said, "I originally thought that the people sent by the Heavenly Kingdom would interfere in the affairs of the Sword Pavilion, or even spy on the secret manuals stored in the Sword Pavilion, or at least win over the swordsmen who came to participate. We were all prepared to turn a blind eye, but we didn't expect them to be so honest. Since they came to the Sword Pavilion, they really just served as witnesses."

Fei Yu Yuan Ji has always lived outside Honglou Jiange, and has the clearest understanding of the outside world. "There is a reason why Ziyao Tianchao can establish a long-term rule in the Central Plains. Besides, Honglou Jiange is just a powerful organization in the eyes of Tianchao. How can Tianchao do something that damages its prestige for such a small profit?"

Zhao Yunshang said: "In this case, we are judging others by our own standards."

Afterwards, the four palace masters of Jiange began the theme of today's banquet.

Zhao Yunshang chose her own sword type, "I choose Liu Sheng Jianying."

Feiying looked as if she knew it, "I knew it. This is great."

Lou Wuhen also made a choice, "I choose..."
