Chapter 8: The White Cloud Sword Master Who Created Peace with One Sword

"It's right to die with your eyes open."

Ning Xunqiu was happy.

The warriors and masters of Jin State had no martial ethics. Not only did they use their numbers to bully the weak, they also liked to launch sneak attacks and plot against others. He failed twice in the book.

Obviously, the sword demon who was able to shoot the sword in the knee with one arrow while cultivating the "Xiao Yao You" realm in "Bai Yun Kong You You" should have used the methods of an immortal cultivator.

Ning Xunqiu secretly warned himself not to waste time, and then silently labeled the people of Jin in his heart. If he met them in real life... No, he must not say a word to the people of Jin.

You can't even show your true self for fear of being ambushed.

The people of Jin are too despicable.

"Golden talisman? Cool jade? Jin State really got a treasure for cultivating immortals, but I don't know if there are any immortal cultivators here. Can a random talisman suppress a congenital warrior like me? How can I be so powerful?"

"The numbers of the immortal cultivators are really a bit exaggerated. Are the warriors in the Qingxu Realm so shameless?"

Ning Xunqiu sighed helplessly and continued to read "Tian Yan Ce" to see how he should deal with it.

[I did not assassinate Emperor Jin Jiang Hong, but chose to test Emperor Jin Jiang Hong. ]

[I placed Wei Xin's head on his dragon chariot without anyone noticing. Emperor Jiang Hong of Jin closed his eyes to rest and was totally unaware. He was really just a warrior at the third level.]

[Jin Emperor Jiang Hong smelled the blood, opened his eyes, and saw Wei Xin's head beside him. He was shocked and thought of the ghosts and gods spread in Yu Country. He also thought of Ning Xunqiu who broke through to the Grandmaster level at the age of 30. His face was uncertain.]

[He knew it was a warning, so he chose to leave as if nothing had happened.]

[Three days later, Wei Xin, a famous general of Jin, became ill due to overwork and his hidden injuries broke out. He died on the road and was given the title of Loyal and Martial Marquis.]

[I took the golden talisman and jade and returned to Qingshan. After some study, I activated the jade with my internal energy and drove the golden talisman. A huge golden light emerged. I cut off the thousand-foot golden light with my mind, just like cutting tofu.]

【…】

[This power... I held the dimmed golden talisman and looked at the collapsing golden roof. A deafening silence came into my mind.]

[One only needs to reach the third realm of martial arts to use internal energy to touch the jade to perform such a magical power? The golden talisman was only dim and close to breaking, and it seemed that it could be activated once more.]

[Is this the strength of an immortal cultivator? ]

[I was devastated and began to study like a demon.]

[When I activated the golden talisman, the cool air in the jade was not consumed much. Is it just a ignition procedure? I named the cool air "spiritual energy."]

[I tried to draw a wisp of "spiritual energy" into my body, but after many attempts, my body was unable to store it. However, after many draws, my junior sister's body was able to retain a little "spiritual energy".]

【Constitution? Spiritual roots?】

[I realized this and woke up from my trance. I gave this jade stone to Junior Sister Gao Feixue to use. I recorded her cultivation experience every day.]

[Junior sister Gao Feixue refined the "spiritual energy", and the quality of the energy in her body was greatly enhanced. In just three months, she was able to match the strength of a congenital warrior like me.

Also, how can "human energy" be compared with "energy of heaven and earth"? 】

[If Junior Sister can't cultivate immortality, she will leave me sooner or later. Junior Sister has the talent to cultivate immortality, and I am happy in my heart. ]

【The good times didn’t last long.】

[A year later, the jade stone lost its luster and turned into gray stone and cracked. Junior Sister Gao Feixue's progress stopped. I asked her to continue practicing, but the "spiritual energy" in her body began to dissipate.]

[I don't know the reason, but I can guess that this place may be the "Land without Spirits". Immortals are like big fish, and the tides of heaven and earth rise and fall. The Seven Kingdoms do not have the water source that big fish need, so they naturally cannot survive.]

[Junior sister Gao Feixue was so happy when she found out that she couldn't cultivate immortality that she said she only needed to break through to the innate state so that we could accompany each other for the rest of our lives. I was deeply moved and spent some time with Junior sister.]

[Afterwards, we stayed at Zixia Peak, brewing tea and discussing martial arts, not caring about worldly affairs, and we were like immortals.]

[I am forty years old. I have made no progress in the past ten years. I still have nothing to gain from “above the innate”. It seems that there is a barrier between heaven and earth, which makes it impossible for me to take that step.]

[Junior sister Gao Feixue said that it would be better to travel around the mountains and rivers, maybe there would be an opportunity, I was too quiet to think about it. At this time, only junior sister Ah Qing, daughter Ning Yu, and eldest son Ning Yun were left in Qingshan.]

[In the early years, Zhao Ping mastered the "Wind Sword" of the "Seven Swords" and Zhang Han mastered the "Thunder Sword" of the "Seven Swords". One night, they suddenly left a letter and went down the mountain.]

[Under the guidance of my husband and I, Ning Yu and Ning Yun broke through the internal energy realm early, practiced "White Clouds and Sky-Longing" to a small degree, and each practiced "Vertical and Horizontal Sword", and can now stand alone. With two swords together, the master is invincible. ] [Furthermore, my junior sister A Qing has the highest comprehension. She practiced "Vertical and Horizontal Seven Swords·Spiritual Sword" to a great degree, and has reached the master level herself. She occupies the dangerous Qingshan Mountain. Except for my junior sister and I, there is no rival in the world. ]

[My junior sister and I gave our children some instructions, then we went down the mountain hand in hand. I met my younger sister in Baiyun City. I saw that she was married and had children, and was living a happy life. Then I began to travel around the world.]

[After leaving Baiyun City, I could see starving victims everywhere along the way, houses buried in the yellow sand, and everything was in ruins. It seemed that although the Jin Kingdom had unified the country and there was no war, the people had not become better off.]

[I was a little puzzled, and then I learned the reason from a gangster.

Emperor Jiang Hong of Jin was a man of great talent and strategy, and he had unified the country at the age of fifty-eight. He was sixty-eight this year, which was considered long-lived in an era when the average age was twenty, but he was unwilling to give up and was obsessed with immortality.

When he was touring the world, he went to the "vast sea" to build a large ship called "Dengxianlou" to search for the fairy island overseas and ask the immortals to grant him the elixir of immortality.

【30 million laborers from the six nations were recruited, and the project was finally completed and put to sea three years ago. However, countless laborers died from exhaustion. It is said that on the vast sea, with the ebb and flow of the tide, one can see countless bones, like hell on earth.】

[This year, there was drought and locusts in the old lands of Yu, Qi, and Nanguo, and the crops failed to produce a single grain. Jin turned a blind eye and did not reduce taxation, so countless people starved to death.]

[Junior sister Gao Feixue couldn’t bear it, so she asked me to cure the disease and save the patient.

We traveled to six countries and our reputation gradually spread. We left behind hybrid seeds and taught people how to eliminate locust infestations, find water sources, dig deep wells to deal with droughts, and so on. We taught people how to fish and saved countless lives.

Because one is blue and the other is white, one is female and the other is male, the blue one kills evil and persuades good, while the white one cures illness and saves lives. 】

[People call us "Blue Sky, White Cloud, Great Mercy, Great Compassion, and Great Savior of the World". ]

[But the more places Junior Sister Gao Feixue went to, the more people she saved, the more people starved to death. Twelve rebel kings in various parts of Jin State were very powerful and started fighting again. They were defeated one by one by the strong army led by the son of Li Ji of Jin State, and 300,000 heads were beheaded and a Jingguan was built.

Thanks to this achievement, three generations of the Li family were all granted titles of nobility, and the story of three nobility in one family became a legend.

[Junior sister turned back and passed by the village she had rescued before. At this time, the village was dilapidated, with weeds growing taller than people. There were no children playing and smoke rising from cooking fires anymore.]

[Bone bones are exposed in the wild, and no roosters crow for thousands of miles.]

[Junior sister Gao Feixue finally despairs of this world. ]

[My junior sister asked me: What is the meaning of this world? ]

【Very simple. 】

[I drew out the "White Cloud Sword" that had been hanging from my waist for a long time, and led her all the way to the Chang'an Palace of the Jin State. My junior sister and I have already reached the Xiantian realm, so how can a mere three thousand soldiers stop us?]

[“There is a White Jade Palace in the sky, with twelve towers and five cities. The immortal touches my head and I am granted eternal life.” I am dressed in white, walking in the air, chanting softly.

At this time, Emperor Jiang Hong of Jin had white hair, loose skin, age spots all over his face, and all his teeth had fallen out. Seeing that I still looked young after decades, he asked me if I had become an immortal.
He begged me to prolong his life.

I walked towards him step by step in mid-air.

"Alas, how could an emperor be so great as this?"

As I spoke, I reached out my hand to touch the top of his head, then took the opportunity to behead him with a sword, quickly stepped forward to touch the corpse, and took out a golden talisman and a palm-sized jade bead from the dragon robe.

Then he took its head, walked into the air, and in full view of everyone, he used all his strength to perform the "Seven Swords" to cut a huge sword beam towards the "Chang'an Palace", splitting the Chang'an Palace in two, like a natural moat. 】

【Everyone was stunned.】

[“If the future emperors of Jin State continue to do evil things, just like this palace, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” After leaving these words, I pulled my stunned junior sister and left decisively. ]

Soon, Emperor Ren Jiangyou ascended the throne, promulgated new laws and benevolent policies, issued a general amnesty, stopped unnecessary labor in various places, and sent ministers to provide disaster relief. The people of the world did not understand why, but they cried with joy and cheered loudly. 】

[Although Jin tried its best to suppress the news, it could not hide it from those who were interested. ]

[But the Jin royal family has been slow to bring the immortal's treasure and came to Qingshan to cause trouble for me. They must have thought that I was an immortal, or an immortal's disciple?

Holding a long sword, I sat alone on the peak of Qingshan Mountain with white clouds, and saw a ray of morning light breaking through the long darkness.

One man can conquer a country, and one sword can bring peace.

People all over the world respectfully call me the White Cloud Sword Saint.
