From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 222: Descendants of the Emperor [Seeking monthly votes!!]

The Sixth Patriarch once said, "It is not the wind that moves, nor the flag that moves, but the heart of the benevolent that moves."

The ground was littered with copies of the Pure and Tranquil Sutra, but the people who copied the scriptures did not have pure hearts.

Qi Qiansu had a very sharp eye. He could tell from Li Yang's handwriting that something was not right with him.

Qi Qiansu waved his Taoist robe, and the pages of books scattered in the pavilion gathered into a pile, and then placed them steadily on the table.

Li Yang smiled, put his pen on the pen holder, and stopped writing:
"What stage has the compilation of the textbook reached?"

"The Taoist Alliance has sorted out most of the Seventeen Qi Training Methods, and has also completed the excerpt of the Sun and Moon Meditation Method you provided."

Li Yang nodded: "In that case, fellow Taoist, please accompany me to take a walk in the Jade Emperor Pavilion."

"my pleasure."

Li Yang stood up and walked towards the stone steps on the northwest side of the hall, followed by Qi Qiansu.

The main hall has a double-eaved hip roof, and the entire hall is built on a stone base of several dozen meters. Going down the stone steps, there is a hollow archway and various ancient buildings and pavilions arranged in an orderly manner.

Stepping on the bluestone steps, the heavy and cool texture makes people feel calm. Li Yang's brows are sometimes relaxed and sometimes frowned.

Walking side by side, Qi Qiansu said nothing, looking up at the ancient scenery of the mountains.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, how much do you know about the Xifeng Yuanjun Temple across the street?"

Li Yang spoke with a complicated tone.

"Isn't it that Daoist Fellow what you want to ask about the reserve sword master training base in Yuanjun Temple?"

Li Yang nodded.

Qi Qianshu thought for a moment and said, "This plan to train a Sword Master was already in the works before the Blood Demon incident. During the Blood Demon incident, the previous Sword Master Wang Shuhuan almost defected, which prompted the higher-ups to launch this training program."

"If I remember correctly, we found a total of 16 potential sword masters who met the requirements of holding a sword in several provinces in the north. Then, they were formally trained in Yuanjun Temple around the beginning of last year."

"Sixteen? And only in a few northern provinces?" Li Yang raised his eyebrows. If he searched the entire China, the number of potential reserve sword masters would probably be more than fifty.

Qi Qiansu shook his head: "Sixteen is actually very few. You have to know that the population of the northern provinces is hundreds of millions. If you convert it this way, there will only be one person among tens of millions of people."

"How are these potential sword masters selected?"

"I don't know the screening process, but..." Qi Qiansu paused: "I know there is a search direction that has never been mentioned publicly."

"Oh, what is it?"

"Emperor's Queen."

Qi Qiansu's voice was vague, and Li Yang paused.

"The Queen?" Li Yang pondered for a moment and quickly understood why it was not mentioned openly.

What kind of society is this? Almost everyone is cultivating immortality, but the government is still trying hard to stick to the policy of equality between humans and immortals. It is indeed a bit feudal and superstitious to create an emperor at this time.

Qi Qiansu nodded cautiously.

"Your sister Ke He's biological mother's surname is Li, and she is a descendant of the Li Tang Dynasty."

"Among the sixteen potential sword masters, there is the Shao clan, which is an ancient clan that originated from the Ji clan and is a descendant of Emperor Huangdi Ji Xuanyuan. There is also Xia Jiajie, who is actually a lost branch of the clan whose main branch is in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas and who claims to be a descendant of Xia Yu. There are also Zhu, Liu, and Zhao potential sword masters, who are descendants of the Ming, Han, and Song dynasties respectively."

Qi Qiansu smiled and said, "Although no one admits it, there is this tendency."

"Is it possible that this is just a coincidence?" Li Yang asked curiously. After all, too many dynasties were born on the land of China, and with thousands of years of intertwined and intertwined cultures, if you look through history, many people can find a relationship with an emperor.

Qi Qiansu shook his head: "Sixteen people, almost all of them are descendants of the Great Unified Dynasty. The probability of coincidence is not high. And then there is the origin of the sword."

Qi Qiansu smiled strangely: "That sword was carved out by the engineering team from the Fengshan Terrace on Mount Tai..."

Although the sword is now uniformly called "Sword", when it was first unearthed, many experts named it with the prefix "Emperor". It was finally refuted by the experts and the prefix "Emperor" was removed.

This was the first time Li Yang knew about the origin of the sword.
"Fengshan Terrace, descendants of emperors..." Li Yang murmured to himself. This really didn't seem like a coincidence.

Li Yang gradually began to understand.

"Are these prospective sword masters the reason that has troubled you for days?" Qi Qiansu asked curiously when he saw Li Yang walking on the stone steps with a lighter pace.

“Yes, and no…”

This has already wasted Qi Qiansu's time. As the leader of the Taoist Alliance, Qi Qiansu had countless things to deal with even during the period of compiling textbooks.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, I will think about the rest by myself."

"Okay." Qi Qiansu no longer insisted and turned back to the main hall.

After parting with Qi Qiansu, Li Yang walked through the empty and ancient buildings with his hands behind his back.

pat, pat.

Footsteps stepped on the bluestone slabs.

Immersed in his own mental battle, his eyes followed the bluestone slabs.

Li Yang frowned and looked into the distance. There seemed to be thousands of sword lights on the West Peak reflected in his pupils.

"Although my last name is Li, I don't seem to be a descendant of an emperor..."
-
West Peak, Yuanjun Temple, and Martial Arts Hall.

After the morning's assessment and scoring of the three categories of scriptures, swordsmanship, and cultivation, the fifteen prospective sword masters are drawing lots to prepare for a practical competition and assessment.

Ke He's cultivation level was not high, but as a top student, her scripture scores were among the best, ranking first among the fifteen prospective sword masters, so her test score in the morning was actually one place ahead of Xia Jiajie.

Seeing Ke He's joy, Zhu Yixuan, who was also in the rest area, showed a mocking look on his face: "Idiot, the higher your score, the stronger the players you will meet. Your Qi-inducing skills are ranked at the front. If you can't even last a round, you will be eliminated!"

Zhu Yixuan was very angry because her mother was teased by Xia Jiajie in the morning. But when she talked about how Ke He would be eliminated in one round, her face was full of joy and smile.

"Hey, do you want to make a bet? What if Ke He wins a game and advances smoothly?"

Xia Jiajie showed indignation on her face and immediately retorted.

"What a wild idea! Didn't the instructor teach you the difference between Yin Qi and Qi Ling? How did she advance?"

Zhu Yixuan showed disdain on his face and spoke with great certainty.

As the object of contempt, Ke He remained calm: "You have to believe that there are geniuses in this world."

"Genius, are you talking about your Ten Thousand Years Attraction?" Zhu Yixuanpu chuckled, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world.

"What if I advance?"

Ke He spoke in a flat tone, his eyes fixed on the laughing Zhu Yixuan.
