I rely on length to cultivate immortality

Who says that a straightforward swordsman doesn’t understand the ways of the world?

Li Xiuchang and Fu Yuan came to the Sword-Wen Sect together and received an unprecedented grand welcome.

Their reputations and strengths are really terrifying!

Both of them are top-notch Golden Immortals. Li Xiuchang is very likely the strongest person in the Xianyin Realm, and Fu Yuan is the founder of the sword art.

The identity of "Sword Ancestor" alone is enough to make the sword practitioners of the Sword Sect bow down in worship.

"The presence of two distinguished guests brings honor to our humble Sword Sect. Please take your seats!"

Several great elders of the Golden Immortal level from the Wenjian Sect came to greet them personally. They were extremely respectful along the way and kept probing them with words, trying to find topics that would interest Li Xiuchang and Fu Yuan so as to keep the atmosphere from becoming dull.

Li Xiuchang looked left and right at these Sword-Asking Sect's supreme elders, but could not see any trace of straightforward sword cultivators in them. He could no longer find the arrogance that belonged to straightforward sword cultivators on their faces.

Li Xiuchang suddenly realized, yes, he has already become a Golden Immortal, how can there be any straightforward sword cultivator!

There are countless branches in Kendo, and straightforward sword practice is just one of the mainstream branches.

It is not possible to cultivate to become a Daluo Jinxian by relying on only one branch. Sword immortals who can cultivate to this level have all comprehended most of the way of the sword.

The great sword can bend and stretch.

You can be unyielding, or you can fail again and again.

There are soft swords among swords, let alone people.

"Senior Sword Ancestor has come to the Sword Sect to teach us how to practice the sword?" asked a supreme elder of the Sword Sect.

Generally speaking, everyone is a Golden Immortal with the same level of cultivation, and they will not regard themselves as juniors.

However, Fu Yuan was too old, and the Sword-Asking Sect's Grand Elder was also humble enough to call him "senior", so it was reasonable for him to be called that.

Fu Yuan shook his head and smiled, "I don't deserve your advice. We are all sword cultivators, so we can learn from each other in swordsmanship. However, I came here mainly to ask for the Sword of the Heart."

"Sword of the Heart?"

"That's right. This Sword of Questioning the Heart was the sword worn by the Taoist Master of Questioning the Heart back then. It was later given to me. It has a deep connection with me."

“This…” The Sword-Questioning Sect’s Grand Elder’s heart skipped a beat, but he still said, “Then follow me. The Heart-Questioning Sword has always been enshrined on the Divine Sword Peak.”

The Sword of Questioning the Heart is of great significance to the Sword-Questioning Sect; it is more than just a sword.

In the hearts of many disciples of the Sword-Asking Sect, the Sword of Questioning the Heart is the symbol of the Sword-Asking Sect and a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Sword-Asking Sect.

Moreover, the current development of the Sword-Wen Sect is also closely related to the Sword of Questioning the Heart. Without the Sword of Questioning the Heart, the Sword of Questioning the Heart, the Sword-Wen Sect would not have been able to cultivate so many outstanding and straightforward sword practitioners.

Therefore, from what Fu Yuan said, it seemed that he wanted to take the Sword of Questioning Heart away, and the leaders of the Sword Questioning Sect were extremely reluctant to let him go.

But they did not dare to stop him. After all, Fu Yuan would not talk nonsense. It was reasonable for the previous owner of the Sword of Questioning the Heart to come and take the sword. If they really did not give it to him, even the Taoist Master of Questioning the Heart would have to step in later.

After all, the first owner of the Sword of Questioning the Heart was the Taoist Master of Questioning the Heart.

This was Li Xiuchang's second visit to Divine Sword Peak. He and Fu Yuan followed the Supreme Elder of the Sword-Asking Sect to the top of Divine Sword Peak and saw a pavilion from afar.

Before he got close, Fu Yuan asked half-jokingly, "I heard that the founder of the Sword-asking Sect passed down a precept that as long as one draws the Sword of the Heart, one can command the Sword-asking Sect?"

The Supreme Elder of the Sword Sect nodded: "That's true."

Fu Yuan laughed: "Then I will give it a try today."

Several people walked quickly forward and entered the pavilion.

The smile on Fu Yuan's face suddenly froze, and he turned his head to glance at Li Xiuchang - Why didn't you tell me that the sword was inserted upside down?

Li Xiuchang looked back: Does it make any difference to you?

"Well, then there really shouldn't be any...right?" Fu Yuan was in a dilemma. He had to try it no matter whether it would work or not.

The Sword of Questioning the Heart is not an ordinary sword. In terms of grade, it is just a top-grade immortal weapon, but it cannot be treated as an ordinary top-grade immortal weapon.

As the sword of the Taoist Ancestor, it has followed the Taoist Ancestor Wenxin for many years and has been contaminated with a trace of the Taoist Ancestor's sword intent. Even the Golden Immortal of Daluo dare not underestimate it.

The sword was stuck upside down in a huge rock, with only four or five inches of the tip showing.

Fu Yuan took a deep breath, walked to the boulder, stretched out a hand, and held it in the air for a long time without moving.

It seemed to be brewing, and also seemed to be trying to communicate with the Sword of Questioning the Heart.

Li Xiuchang was very considerate and took the initiative to ask, "Brother Scar, if you can't do it, let me try?"

The Sword of Conscience, which used to be so sharp in Li Xiuchang's eyes, now doesn't seem so scary.

Fu Yuan blushed and said sternly, "Are you kidding? How could it not be possible? This is the sword I used to use! I just remembered many past events when I saw it."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, avoided the sword blade with two fingers, carefully clamped the sword body, and pulled it upwards with force.

I pulled for a while, but it didn't move at all.

The great elders of the Sword Sect breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

"Dead sword! Why don't you give me face at the critical moment?" Fu Yuan cursed in his heart, not caring about anything else, and directly grasped the tip of the sword with one hand.

whoosh!

Or rather, the connection between him and the Sword of Questioning the Heart had long been erased by time.

Of course, the more important thing is that the true owner of this sword is actually Wenxin Daozu.

If he wanted to pull it out forcibly, it was not impossible, but he would have to use his own swordsmanship level to suppress the sword intent within the sword, which would cause quite a bit of noise.

Even if he succeeds, it won't show his class, and if he fails, he will lose all face.

Of course, it would not fail, after all, it was just an ownerless sword. However, it was equivalent to fighting with a sword, and the damage would not be small. Half of the Sword-Asking Sect might be destroyed in the sword energy.

Li Xiuchang took the initiative to say: "Brother Scar, let me give it a try."

"Okay, come on."

Fu Yuan stepped aside and Li Xiuchang took over, which was equivalent to giving him a way out.

But he also didn't think that Li Xiuchang could pull it out easily.

In terms of actual combat, Li Xiuchang may be better than Fu Yuan, but he knows nothing about swordsmanship, and it is even more difficult for him to gain recognition from the Sword of Questioning the Heart.

Li Xiuchang walked forward, thinking that Scar Brother was still unreliable and he had to take action himself.

He imitated Scar Brother and gently twisted the sword with two fingers. He immediately felt an unyielding sword intent reviving in the Sword of Questioning, which seemed to be about to penetrate the sword.

It was like a bow with an arrow on it and the string fully drawn. As long as Li Xiuchang made any further move, he would attack immediately.

Li Xiuchang stopped for a moment, causing the Sword of Questioning to be immobilized, and the sword attack that was ready to be launched could only be held back in his stomach.

He stretched out his hand and weighed the tip of the sword, and found that the Sword of Questioning the Heart seemed to be connected to the stone below, and the huge stone was connected to the Divine Sword Peak below, and the Divine Sword Peak was connected to the earth...

This powerful pull will directly shake the entire mountain and pull out the earth veins.

It's not difficult, with Li Xiuchang's physical strength he can do it with a little effort, but it will still cause too much damage and noise.

They came to subdue the Sword-Asking Sect, not to destroy it.

Li Xiuchang stared at the crack in the stone that accommodated the sword body, and with an idea in his mind, he widened the crack by one inch.

As if there was some irresistible force that instantly weakened the connection between the Sword of Questioning and the boulder below.

Li Xiuchang exerted a little force and easily pulled out the Sword of Conscience.

So easy?

Fu Yuan behind Li Xiuchang and other great elders of the Sword-Asking Sect were all dumbfounded. The process of Li Xiuchang drawing the sword was too easy.

But Li Xiuchang could feel that the sword in his hand was still unwilling to give in.

It's just that he was restricted by the effect of time stop and couldn't resist.

Once the time stop effect is lifted, the Taoist sword intent hidden in the sword will definitely rush out to attack him.

But Li Xiuchang didn't care. His goal was to pull out the Sword of Inquiry, not to subdue it, so he casually threw the Sword of Inquiry to Scar Brother and said:

"If you hadn't used up 50% of the sword's strength before, I wouldn't have been able to pull it out so easily."

Fu Yuan was very pleased to hear this, and praised Li Xiuchang in his heart for being a good person, and for making up for the face he had lost before.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He smiled and waved the sword in his hand, and said softly: "After all, this sword has been with me for a long time. The sword is not a heartless thing, and there is still some tacit understanding between us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiuchang released the time stop.

Instantly, the Sword of Questioning Heart emitted a clear sword sound, and the Daozu sword intent within it suddenly burst out.

Fu Yuan's expression changed, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. In a blink of an eye, he passed over the Sword-Wen Sect's protective formation and flew high into the sky.

The sword cultivators below all looked up, their eyes penetrating the clouds. They saw sword energy crisscrossing in the sky, and the origin of swordsmanship could be vaguely seen emerging.

The sharp sword energy and unparalleled sword intent seemed to cut the sky into countless pieces.

"Senior Fu has great swordsmanship!" All the sword practitioners from the Sword Questioning Sect praised him.

After a while, Fu Yuan successfully subdued the Sword of Questioning the Heart and landed back on the Divine Sword Peak with a rather ugly look on his face.

The sword was fine when it was in Li Xiuchang's hand, but it went crazy once it was in his hand, which made him feel embarrassed.

"Congratulations, senior, for conquering the divine sword!"

The Supreme Elder of the Sword Sect came forward to congratulate.

But this congratulation is somewhat not so sincere.

The Sword of Questioning the Heart is their sect's most precious treasure!

I really can’t bear to let go!

Fu Yuan looked around and chuckled, "This Sword of Questioning the Heart has been kept in your Sword Sect for countless years and has long been part of your Sword Sect's heritage. I, Fu Yuan, am not a person who would take away what others want. I just want to ask if the ancestral precepts left by your Sword Sect's founder still count?"

Several great elders of the Sword-Asking Sect looked at each other, and they all understood what Fu Yuan meant.

Is this an order for them to ask the Sword Sect?

As for ancestral precepts, when no one can meet the requirements, they will of course say that they are willing to abide by them.

But even if someone really did it, it would be unrealistic for such a big sect like them to surrender directly.

Logically speaking, our ancestor has been dead for many years, who still cares about the ancestral teachings?

Listen to what is beneficial to you, and pretend that what is not beneficial to you does not exist.

After all, if an enemy or an evil cultivator draws out the Sword of Self-Examination, do they have to obey him?

But judging from the current situation, it seems that following the ancestral teachings also has its benefits...

The one who pulled out the Sword of Questioning the Heart was Li Xiuchang, and Li Xiuchang's talent, strength and potential were the undisputed number one in the Xianyin Realm!

The Xianchen Sect had a disciple named Li Xiuchang, which made the other three major immortal sects envious. Now they wanted to ask the Sword Sect for a chance to become deeply bound with Li Xiuchang.

As for following Li Xiuchang's instructions, it doesn't really matter.

After all, even in the Xianchen Sect, Li Xiuchang can basically have the final say with his current weight.

It will definitely be more beneficial than harmful for Wenjian Sect to follow Li Xiuchang. Even if they don't seek to surpass Xianchen Sect, they will definitely surpass Dengxian Pavilion and Yintian Sect in the future and become the second largest sect in Xianyin Realm!

After all, Li Xiuchang, who is now in his thirties and has already achieved the Golden Immortal, is recognized as having the potential to become a Taoist ancestor, and it is almost inevitable that he will become a Taoist ancestor in the future!

This gamble was a very profitable one for the Sword-Wen Sect.

Therefore, they quickly exchanged opinions and asked the Sword Sect's leaders to make a quick decision:

"The order of the ancestor cannot be disobeyed! We sword cultivators must keep our word. Since fellow Daoist Li has drawn the Sword of Inquiry, we of the Sword Sect will swear to follow him until death!"

Li Xiuchang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the sword cultivators from the Sword Sect, who were known for their willingness to break rather than bend, could actually slide to their knees so smoothly.

Who said that these sword cultivators were rigid? These sword cultivators were so flexible!

He also found that he was over-complicating some things.

When he first climbed the Divine Sword Peak, with the help of the length plug-in, he might have been able to draw out the Sword of Questioning the Heart.

But if he had drawn out the Sword of Questioning at that time, it would have been impossible for the Sword of Questioning Sect to submit to him, and it might even have brought him trouble.

But now with his strength, he doesn't have to think too much about many things. He doesn't have to think about asking Fu Yuan, the disciple of Taoism and the founder of swordsmanship, to draw his sword in order to make the Sword Sect surrender.

He could even skip the step of "drawing the sword". Drawing the sword was just an excuse. The fact was that his strength and potential made the Sword-Wen Sect want to join him.

Just like now, if he expresses his desire to conquer Dengxian Pavilion and Yintian Sect, these two major sects will most likely agree in the end.

Of course, this kind of submission and surrender was not completely unconditional. If Li Xiuchang had issued some orders that were extremely unfavorable to the Wenjian Sect right from the start, the Wenjian Sect might have turned around and defected.

However, Li Xiuchang had no intention of conquering the Sword-Asking Sect at the beginning. He just wanted to find a group of talented sword practitioners to inject sword-wielding insights into his Equality Dao.

Therefore, he gave the order: "Go find some disciples below the Hedao stage, those with high talent in swordsmanship, to follow me in training in the future."

"I will arrange it immediately!"

The status of the Supreme Elder of the Wenjian Sect changed very quickly, and he respectfully accepted the order.

Soon, one sword genius after another was recommended. After being screened by the Supreme Elder of the Sword Sect, twenty people were finally selected and sent to Li Xiuchang.

"These twenty disciples have all passed the divine sword soul-searching exercise and awakened their sword hearts. They are also extremely talented in comprehension and are all top-notch sword cultivation talents!"

Li Xiuchang glanced at these people. Each of them had an upright posture and outstanding temperament, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

He nodded in satisfaction and said, "From now on, you will practice with me."

These normally calm sword-cultivating geniuses could hardly conceal their excitement at this moment.

Li Xiuchang, in their hearts, is an incomparable legend. Being able to practice with such a legendary figure will be the greatest opportunity in their lives.

“Master!”

Twenty people knelt down in salute.

Li Xiuchang raised his hand and helped them all up: "I don't accept disciples, and I don't know the way of the sword. From now on, I won't be the one teaching you."

He turned to look at Fu Yuan: "Brother Scar, I'll trouble you to teach these people more in the future."

"Leave it to me." Fu Yuan agreed immediately. He knew that helping Li Xiuchang integrate the Way of Equality into the Way of the Sword was also to help him become the world administrator as soon as possible and help him save the world.

This is also the task given to him by his master, Guantian Daozu.

Li Xiuchang waved his hand, and the twenty sword geniuses, including Fu Yuan, disappeared. They had been collected by him into the second Dantian world. (End of this chapter)
