Embers of Sword

Chapter 153: New Master of Xuanshui
"today."

"I invite everyone in the world to see the Xuanshui Cave Heaven Lotus!"

Xie Xuanyi's voice echoed in the cave, waves rolled up in the Lotus River, and leaves fell in the peach forest.

Duan Zhao and Xu Nianning stood silently behind Xie Zhen.

The two looked at each other, both with confusion in their eyes.

In this peach blossom forest, there is only sword intent but no roads. Where is the rumored second level of Xuanshui Cave Heaven?
Xie Xuanyi walked forward.

The two followed closely behind.

Every fallen leaf flying out of the peach blossom forest contained a sharp sword intent. A small piece of Duan Zhao's clothes was cut off, and a strand of Xu Nianning's long hair was also chopped off by the sword intent. The two walked very slowly, taking every step carefully.

But Xie Xuanyi is different.

Xie Xuanyi walked very fast.

Holding a dead branch, he walked casually into the peach blossom forest, used it to push aside the branches blocking his way, and smashed the falling leaves and flying flowers.

These layers and dense sword intent were all shattered by Xie Xuanyi.

The sword intent that landed in front of Duan Zhao and Xu Nian Ning was only one tenth of what it was... Even so, the two of them still had a hard time walking.

"This peach blossom forest has more sword intent than the Lotus River."

After walking nearly a hundred steps, Xu Nianning was shocked.

Her sleeves were cut into more than a dozen pieces.

Xie Zhen, who was walking in the front, was still in an "unharmed" state. Under his leadership, in less than a hundred breaths, the three of them reached the end of the peach blossom forest very smoothly.

There is a hazy sacred glow before my eyes.

The peach blossoms have all fallen, the branches in the forest have all disappeared, and the world before my eyes suddenly becomes bright.

Xu Nianning and Duan Zhao stood there in a daze, staring blankly at the world at the end of the peach forest.

At the end of the peach blossom forest.

It is a blue sea with thousands of golden lotus flowers blooming.

Each lotus contains a hint of "Taoism". These lotuses grow in the Xuanshui Cave, just like life, with a cycle of sixty years.

This is the reason why the Sword Palace rules and will never open this cave in advance.

Open early.

The lotus will not mature.

At this moment, the lotus floating above the blue sea has full buds and emits dazzling golden light, which is a symbol of the maturity of the "Tao".

Pick a lotus flower.

You will get a chance of good fortune.

Xu Nianning and Duan Zhao were stunned, staring blankly at the brilliant spectacle reflecting the sky.

If there really is a place where immortals live in seclusion in the world.

So...that's about it.

After a long time.

Xu Nianning came to her senses. She did not covet the great fortune of this lotus sea. Instead, she stood beside Xie Zhen and asked seriously, "Are you sure... you want the whole world to see this scene?"

Xie Xuanyi chuckled.

The scene of the sea of lotus is indeed beautiful.

Even he was momentarily distracted.

Xie Xuanyi certainly understood what Xu Nianning meant... The Dasui Sword Palace certainly did not refuse to display the vision of the second level of the cave because it was unable to arrange the formation pattern.

Let everyone see the Lotus River in the first level of the cave.

This is already a "generous gift".

This lotus blue sea is the "blessing of fortune" left by the Dashui Sword Palace specifically for the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven.

If it were someone else, such as Xie Sheng, he would never make such a bold statement as "Invite people all over the world to see the lotus."

Imagine that if Prince Jiangning wins the fight today, he will keep his mouth shut when he leaves Xuanshui Cave Heaven, and no one will want to know what kind of fortune is in this second level of the cave heaven.

"Every sincere swordsman in the world deserves a lotus."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled softly and said, "It happens once every sixty years. Da Chu has waited for this day for too long."

These words made Xu Nianning's heart tremble.

She looked at the young man in front of her with a complicated expression. Although they had only met a few times...

But Xie Zhen has a convincing power.

She always felt.

The case files of the Qingzhou Rebellion were just a false, fabricated image. The real Xie Zhen was completely different from what people saw and guessed.

To be able to say that every sincere swordsman in the world deserves a lotus -

Xie Zhen's mind and courage surpassed anyone Xu Nianning had ever met in his life.

Xu Nianning turned around, looking at the dense forest of dead trees, and asked in a deep voice: "The peach forest is blocking the formation pattern of Xuanshui Cave Heaven... How are you going to let those people outside see it?"

"This is simple."

Xie Xuanyi smiled.

He took out a token from his pocket.

In the past few days, because of this token... there has been quite a dispute among the various peaks of Dasui Sword Palace.

Many people hope to take this token away from him.

It’s a pity that these people all failed.

The moment Xu Nianning saw the token, he understood Xie Zhen's thoughts.

Before stepping into the Xuanshui Cave Heaven, Xie Zhen had already obtained the "Lotus Jade Token". This token could transmit messages, thoughts, and images at will within the Dasui Sword Palace.

"Uncle Siqi."

Xie Xuanyi used the Lotus Jade Token together with Si Qi's communication token.

He said softly: "Please transfer my soul to the array pattern sky curtain..."

this matter.

Xie Xuanyi did not bother Qi Lie or Huang Su.

"Xie Shixi, are you sure you want to do this?"

Even so, Si Qi, who was guarding the gate of Lotus Peak, still cautiously asked through voice transmission: "Is this not good?"

"Uncle Si Qi..."

Xie Xuanyi asked softly: "Am I now considered the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven?"

This question.

Si Qi was speechless and responded helplessly: "Of course it is."

Prince Jiangning was completely defeated.

The sword strike just now made the disciples from all the peaks of the Sword Palace excited!

Now that Xie Zhen has become the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven, it is what everyone wants, and there is no suspense about this matter anymore!

"Inviting people all over the world to see the lotus is my master's obsession."

Xie Xuanyi sent a voice message: "Uncle Si Qi, please lend a hand and help."

"Your Master..."

Si Qi was stunned, and a hint of imperceptible sadness flashed across his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice, "I see. I understand."

The sword energy array pattern on the sky curtain of Dashui Sword Palace, which was connected to the first layer of Xuanshui Cave Heaven, suddenly changed.

The two lotus jade tokens completed the connection between the soul and spirit.

now.

Xie Xuanyi loosened his hand, and the lotus jade token fluttered in the wind like a kite, and hung high above the peach wood, reflecting the endless golden lotus and the once-in-a-decade grand spectacle.

The Dasui Sword Palace is dozens of miles inside and outside.

Thousands of swordsmen and tens of thousands of monks.

Everyone looked up.

They stared at the sky filled with golden lotus flowers and blue water. This moment of splendor later became a unique memory for many people in their lives.

The back mountain of Jinao Peak is surrounded by clouds and mist.

Countless sword energies were densely hanging high in the sky, with the sword tips pointed at the depths of the clouds. Tongtian Palm Law, who controlled countless flying swords with his own strength, looked up at the lotus scroll that covered the ceiling of the Dasui Sword Palace. His stern and cold face was slightly moved, as if he was a little relieved, and a little mournful... But these emotions only appeared for a moment, and then all disappeared.

Yuping Peak, the mountain waterfall, the chill that penetrates into your bones.

Jiang Miaoyin, wearing a veil hat and a snow-white cloak, stood silently on the top of the mountain, looking at the beautiful painting unfolding.

Although I didn't go to watch the sword energy ceremony in person.

But she was always paying attention to this competition.

this moment.

She knew that the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven... had been decided.

Xie Zhen inherited Xie Xuanyi's mantle and became the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven.

The [Chronic Disease] in the Sword Washing Pool trembled for no apparent reason.

Jiang Miaoyin took out the silk, covered her lips, and coughed heavily. The snow-white silk was soon stained red.

The woman smiled, her laughter half happy and half sad.

"Xuan Yi."

She murmured softly: "This cave didn't wait for you..."

Under the gaze of countless people.

The divine consciousness within the Lotus Jade Order filled the entire ceiling of the Dasui Sword Palace.

Today's Xuanshui Cave and the blue sea of lotus will be remembered by countless people.

But all this is not over yet.

Xie Xuanyi's voice echoed in the wind among the peaks of Dasui Sword Palace.

"The 'Great Dao Golden Lotus' in Xuanshui Cave Heaven matures once every sixty years."

He stood in front of the sea of lotus and said calmly, "Pick the golden lotus and you can listen to the sound of the great way. Since you have been invited to see the lotus, I will naturally invite you to listen to the great way of the Great Sui Sword Palace."

Say it.

Xie Xuanyi took a step forward.

He stood on the blue sea of lotus, with countless tides surging in and golden lotuses moving towards him.

These lotus flowers.

Each flower contains profound Taoist meaning.

If a cultivator in the Cave Heaven Realm wants to cultivate and become a Yin God, he needs to think about his own "Tao intention" while condensing the Cave Heaven.

When the cave is settled, the Tao fruit will grow and mature.

now.

The lotus buds of these golden lotuses contain unripe fruits of the Tao.

Xie Xuanyi put his fingertips together, turned them into sword energy, and gently wiped them.

With a "hiss" sound!
A golden lotus bud was cut off by Xie Xuanyi. The sword energy seemed sharp, but it did not actually harm the root of the golden lotus. It just took away the Taoist fruit.

Xie Xuanyi threw the flower bud high into the sky.

Sword energy burst out in the air——

The golden flower bud welcomed the outburst of the great Dao spirit, which spread out at this moment.

Xie Xuanyi manipulated his divine consciousness and condensed the majestic sword intent that emanated from this Dao Fruit.

last night.

In the main hall of Jin'ao Peak, he explained the mystery of "Sword Qi Ringing the Bell" to countless people.

And today.

He used the Golden Lotus of the Xuanshui Cave Heaven as a demonstration.

"Boom" sound!
The sword intent of the Great Dao spread out, and under Xie Xuanyi's control, it took on a physical form. It turned into an ancient bell, and then rang right above the Dasui Sword Palace.

Countless people who looked up heard the deep and majestic sound of the ancient bell.

This is the sound of creation of Xuanshui Dongtian.

It is also a generous gift from the new master of the cave.

This is the real sword energy ringing the bell!
When the first bell rang, the entire Dasui Mountain Gate fell into extreme silence.

Countless people felt the sound of the sword energy of the Great Dao.

Immerse yourself in the blessings brought by the fruits of the Tao.

Then the second bell rang.

Xie Xuanyi picked the second golden lotus and rang the ancient bell of the avenue for the second time.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

There were a total of ten golden lotuses, and the fullest buds in the entire sea of lotuses were picked by Xie Xuanyi and given away.

The sword energy struck the ancient bell ten times.

Every visitor who comes to Dasui Sword Palace to participate in the Sword Qi Ceremony.

They all felt the "Sound of Tao" descending from the sky.

Every sincere swordsman in the world deserves a lotus.

At this moment, no matter they were the nobles from aristocratic families, disciples from sects, or wandering cultivators in the mountains and wilds, they were all immersed in the sound of Tao and forgot themselves.

Until the last bell.

Xie Xuanyi's sword intent pulled them out of their "enlightenment".

The ten bell sounds may seem short, but every time the great way is spread, people can gain some understanding.

This short yet long meditation came to a perfect end here.

The entire Dasui Sword Palace was still immersed in silence.

The long-lasting bell sound echoed in the wind singing all over the mountains.

Suddenly, a wandering cultivator burst into tears, banged his head on the ground, and shouted hoarsely, "Thank you so much for the gift, brother! I am honored to witness the birth of the new master of Xuanshui Cave Heaven!"

He was grateful for it all.

This voice broke the silence in the Dasui Sword Palace.

Then came one shout after another.

"Thank you so much for the gift, brother!"

"Thank you for opening the Sword Palace!"

There are countless people who come from far away.

They traveled through mountains and rivers, just wanting to see the scenery of Xuanshui Cave from afar.

If it weren't for Xie Zhen...

They don't have this opportunity.

Not long ago, the Xie family of Jiangning issued a reward in Fangyuanfang. If anyone could assist the prince, they would have a chance to watch the lotus together. Countless people were vying for this opportunity, but in the end, all of them were ruthlessly kicked out by the Xie family.

But now.

Xie Zhen gave the opportunity to "watch the lotus" to everyone free of charge.

The sounds of wind, swords, and bells all came together in the mountains.

Unprecedented shouts rang out in front of Lotus Peak.

The Sword Palace has been closed for ten years and has been silent for ten years.

This day.

Someone invited people all over the world to see the lotus.

This day.

People all over the world witnessed that Xuanshui Cave Heaven welcomed its new master.
