Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 657: The Emperor's Sword, the Voice of the Great Dao

In this unknown ancient land.

As soon as the wind blows, the several-meter-high thatch surges forward like waves, one after another, looking extremely spectacular.

But at this time.

Feng Qingyan stared at Tianyu closely.

His gaze seemed to penetrate countless worlds, and he saw the small sword growing larger and larger, sinking worlds one after another...

It brings destruction with it and comes with unstoppable force.

Unstoppable!
This made Feng Qingyan feel horrified. What kind of sword was this?

Why is it so scary?
Can it destroy worlds?

When I first saw it, it was just an ordinary little iron sword and did not contain any power.

but.

After that plain voice finished speaking.

This ordinary little iron sword, without anyone noticing, possessed a mysterious power. It fell into a world, slowly sinking from the earth, as if absorbing the essence of the world...

Is it the essence of the world that nourishes it?
Is it so terrifying?
Feng Qingyan frowned and thought.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was unlikely, after all, it directly penetrated the first world. And the essence of the first world should not be enough to nourish such a terrifying little sword.

So……

He remembered that sentence.

"It can level the sky with one sword and kill all enemies in the world..."

It seems that it is because of this sentence that the small sword possesses such terrifying power.

And, it is indeed flat.

It's not just about leveling the sky, it's about destroying it outright.

It was the first time that Feng Qingyan discovered that there was such a terrifying existence in the world. This was beyond his imagination.

The sword didn't come out, it just fell, and layer upon layer of the world sank.

How terrifying is this?
at this time.

The little sword was still falling, sinking layer after layer of unknown world...

The little sword was getting closer.

Eventually he will fall into the ancient world where he is.

Who is speaking?
Who is the owner of the small sword?

At this moment, the word "Emperor" suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be the Emperor?
He came to the ancient world from Tianfen Mountain. Perhaps everything he saw, thought and felt was related to Tianfen.

And Tianfen is naturally the book of the Emperor.

and so.

Is this the Emperor's Sword?

It is understandable that the Emperor's sword kills all enemies in the world, but why does he want to flatten the world with one sword?
Logically speaking, the emperor represents the sky. If he flattens the sky with one sword, isn't that just flattening himself with one sword? Even if this "sky" does not refer to himself, why does he want to flatten the sky?

What has God done wrong?
Why did the emperor want to pacify the world?
Feng Qingyan thought of the Seven Killings Heaven-Suppressing Stele hidden in the Book City. The owner of the stele, the Thirteenth Heavenly Emperor, also wanted to kill the sky.

The Thirteenth Heavenly Emperor wants to kill Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven also wants to pacify Heaven.

This is worth considering.

It seems that this "Heaven" is indeed extremely evil.

Maybe he really deserves to die!
In a few breaths, or in a few days, or in a few years.

The small sword was finally about to fall into the ancient world, and the earth began to shake gradually.

As the small sword got closer, the ground shook more violently, as if it was about to break. It seemed that even the heavy ancient earth could not withstand the power of the small sword...

Feng Qingyan was frowning at this moment.

I don’t know whether the ancient world will be destroyed like other worlds.

And will he die?

Rumbling--

Before the small sword arrived, the ground began to crack.

Feng Qingyan immediately appeared in the air and watched the flat ground begin to collapse, with some places bulging up and some places collapsing.

It only took a few dozen breaths.

The flat land was no longer flat, and mountains and deep gullies appeared...

boom!
The heaven and earth shook violently.

Feng Qingyan saw the small sword and finally fell into the ancient world.

However, the small sword could no longer be called a small sword, but an incomparably huge iron sword, like a towering mountain.

Huhu——

The power bursting out from the small sword was like a strong wind.

The thatch that was several feet high turned into ashes in an instant.

Sand and rocks were flying between heaven and earth.

Rumbling--

The earth cracked and the sky shattered.

The ancient world was about to be shattered, which horrified Feng Qingyan, and he retreated frantically.

The power unleashed by the small sword was so great that even he could not withstand it and it could destroy him in an instant.

Fortunately.

He was very far away from the small sword, at least tens of thousands of miles away.

However, I still feel the terror of the small sword.

It is destroying the ancient world.

Is this the Emperor's Sword?

Feng Qingyan retreated frantically, looking at the iron sword in horror.

The iron sword was pitch black and extremely huge. From a distance, it looked like a long mountain falling. At this moment, he saw a section of the iron sword sinking into the earth, as if it had penetrated the earth and was about to fall into the world behind the ancient world.

but.

Feng Qingyan suddenly saw the iron sword slowly stop sinking, it seemed to have exhausted its power.

This is?

Feng Qingyan was very surprised.

Could it be that the ancient world could bear the weight of the small sword?

After all, the ancient world is extremely profound and does not seem to be comparable to other worlds, so it is also what Feng Qingyan expects.

At this moment, the expectation came true.

This breath...

Feng Qingyan frowned and looked at it, and suddenly found that the aura emanating from the small sword was vaguely familiar.

The smell was very faint, but very terrifying.

It was this faint breath that destroyed the world and allowed the small sword to sink worlds one after another.

What is this breath?
Feng Qingyan tried hard to recall.

He felt that he should have felt...

In the ancient land.

The small sword sank into the earth and pierced into the sky.

It seems to run through three worlds, and the ancient world is right in the middle.

As time passed, the aura of destruction carried by the small sword was gradually dissipated by the ancient world.

The ancient world gradually stabilized.

Stop crushing.

At this moment Feng Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The ancient world should not collapse again after bearing the weight of the small sword...

However, the ancient land at this time is no longer flat as far as the eye can see, but has turned into mountains, plateaus, plains and other terrains.

Shortly after.

Feng Qingyan found that the iron sword gradually became ordinary.

He was a little surprised.

Could it be that the small sword has lost its power and is just an ordinary iron sword?

He felt that the terrifying sword aura between heaven and earth was gradually receding, so he tentatively moved forward a little and found that the iron sword had really lost its power.

Why did the small sword lose its power?

Feng Qingyan was a little curious.

now.

He walked towards the small sword and watched carefully.

From a distance, the small sword looked like a huge stone peak that reached the sky, with no end in sight. It seemed that the tip of the sword had penetrated into another world, breaking out from the ground and becoming an ordinary stone mountain...

etc--

Feng Qingyan suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He stopped and watched, frowning. It seemed that there was nothing different. However, the feeling of something wrong in his heart was getting stronger and stronger...

I always feel like there is something wrong with the huge stone peak in front of me.

What's wrong?
Feng Qingyan walked towards the stone peak while thinking. This huge stone peak seemed to have experienced endless years, with traces of wind and rain on it, and some of the stone skin had been weathered.

in a blink.

A year has passed.

Feng Qingyan had not yet reached the stone peak.

The thatch under his feet grew again to several feet high, like a sea of thatch.

I don’t know when.

Feng Qingyan finally reached the foot of the stone peak.

The stone peak was so high that it reached the sky, towering and majestic, as if it was inserted into the sky. At this moment, he stood under the stone peak, feeling as small as an ant, which made him sigh with infinite admiration.

And at this time.

He finally realized what was wrong.

He thought about it carefully and found that the small sword turned into a stone peak in an instant...

So, the thing that was wrong was that it was clearly a small sword, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a stone peak.

But when he saw Shi Feng, he felt that Shi Feng had already existed.

It seems that it is not transformed from the small sword.

It is a true pinnacle!
"The Emperor's sword turned into a stone peak?"

Feng Qingyan squinted his eyes and looked at it in surprise, but did not find anything different about the stone peak in front of him.

Now it doesn't look like a sword from the outside.

It really seemed to be just a rocky mountain.

However, he couldn't understand why the small sword turned into a stone peak. Even if the small sword lost its power, it was still the Emperor's sword and still had the power of a sword.

Although he is now at the foot of the stone peak, he is still nearly a thousand miles away from the stone peak.

He continued to walk closer to the stone peak.

a few days later.

He finally arrived at the foot of the stone peak.

Feng Qingyan looked at the moss, weeds, trees, etc. on the stone surface and couldn't tell it was a sword at all.

He reached out and peeled off a piece of stone skin, but found no smell of metal in it.

It's just weathered stone skin.

After a while.

He placed his hand on the stone peak and carefully felt the breath of the stone peak.

"The sky is clear with One, the earth is peaceful with One, the immortals are spiritual with One, the valleys are full with One, and all things are alive with One. Tao cannot return to heaven, and it cannot sustain people forever. It is a pity that in a moment, a flash of light will pass, and a hundred years will eventually be submerged in floating clouds and flowing water..."

And at this time.

A vague voice seemed to fall from the sea of clouds, echoing between heaven and earth.

This sound is like the sound of the Tao, exuding all kinds of mysterious charm, making people feel extremely comfortable physically and mentally.

It seems that the soul is also resonating.

Feng Qingyan listened quietly and did not explore at this moment.

Unconsciously, the blood in his body began to boil, as if it was burning.

A faint halo appeared on him, light red, as if a red flame was burning on his body.

zizi——

There was a sizzling sensation in his body.

Then, wisps of black smoke came out of his body, as if something was burning.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan was a little surprised. He felt that the strange black fog that had been hidden in his body was actually burned by the boiling blood.

"…They regard life as worthless, and life as dust. All wise and holy people believe that if people do not nurture their lives, they will eventually die. If people do not cultivate their qi, they will find it difficult to escape from the cage. If they focus their qi, all spirits will gather together, and they can cut the sky with their bodies. In nature, everything is my life, my strength, and my spirit…"

Rumbling--

The blood in the body roared like thunder.

The blood vessels seemed to have turned into long boiling rivers, and the blood was like magma, emitting hot waves.

The blood is burning the body.

Layers of black mist emerged from his body and were then burned by the flames that emerged from his body.

As the strange black mist in his body burned more and more, Feng Qingyan became more and more curious. What on earth was that sound?
Under the influence of sound.

The blood in his body was boiling and churning, generating a terrifying temperature.

The strange black fog that was hidden in the body and could not be dispelled even by the literary energy was actually burned by the sound.

This really shocked him.

He closed his eyes and continued listening.

The voice was ethereal, like the sound of the Tao, exuding all kinds of mysterious charm, and the whole person seemed to be floating in the air.

It seems like it is about to ascend.

His body slowly floated up, like a light feather.

However, after he floated up, his hand left the stone peak, and the ethereal voice suddenly disappeared.

He fell suddenly.

Do I need to touch the stone peak?
Feng Qingyan thought in surprise, then he touched the stone peak again and listened to the ethereal voice again.

Soon after, his body once again burned with intense flames, burning away the strange black mist hidden in his body. However, his body was an emperor's body, and the strange black mist hidden in it was endless, like an ocean hidden in his body.

The main thing is that the blood cannot burn to the heart.

As long as the strange black fog in the emperor's heart is not completely expelled, it will eventually pollute the emperor's body.

So no matter how many times the strange black fog in the emperor's body was cleared.

It will still be contaminated by the emperor's heart.

After he figured it out, he couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, he closed his eyes and looked inward, and saw the boiling blood gradually cooling down after returning to his heart.

However, despite this, he still touched the stone peak, causing the ethereal sound to reappear, causing the blood in his body to boil for the third time.

He didn't let go again.

Huhu——

Flames several feet high burned on his body.

Layers of strange black fog emerged, and then were burned by the flames...

As time went by, he felt that the strange black fog in his body gradually became less.

A year later, half of the strange black fog in his body was finally expelled, but it would probably take nearly another year to completely expel it.

He continued to burn.

He didn't know what it felt like without the strange black fog in his body, so he really wanted to know.

Although he will eventually be contaminated by the emperor's heart, he thinks it is worth it.

Another year has passed.

The strange black fog in his body was never completely burned out.

Because the Emperor's heart is constantly polluted, it is impossible to completely eliminate it, unless the strange black fog in the Emperor's heart is completely eliminated.

Otherwise, everything will be in vain.

He gave up after he figured it out.

"It's a pity that I still don't know what a clean body feels like." Feng Qingyan shook his head and withdrew his hand, and the ethereal voice disappeared again.

and.

He listened for two years.

My ears are a little numb, the light is no longer there, but rather a little irritating.

Whose voice comes from?
He became curious.

Since he came to the ancient world, three voices have appeared, each voice is different. However, it is also possible that the three voices all come from the same person...

"Could it be the Emperor?"

As he was thinking, he walked up the stone peak step by step, to see if he could follow the stone peak to another world? After he walked up the stone peak, he gradually felt a faint mysterious atmosphere in the stone peak.

It was that familiar smell again.

He felt it as he walked, and became more curious about the breath.

Unconsciously, he walked along the stone peak to the sea of clouds, but did not stop and continued to walk upwards.

The sky has no end, and the stone peaks have no end.

as time goes by.

His pace gradually slowed down, and his steps became heavier, until he could barely move forward.

Although he could still go up at this moment, he felt that it was unnecessary.

I'm afraid the sky of this ancient land will never end.

He found a place to sit down.

Don't move, don't look, don't think, just sit quietly and clear your mind of all distracting thoughts.

The breath gradually became stronger.
