After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

Pushing open the door of the library, snowflakes fell softly. The library, nestled deep within the Cangshan Mountain beside the Tang Dynasty palace, rarely saw a single person for a month.

The Tang Dynasty imperial family had more than just this one library. Deep within the palace, there was an even more magnificent library, displaying various martial arts manuals, which was the place that people from all over the world flocked to.

This is a place that has been forgotten.

"Qin Ming greets you, sir!"

"Qin Ge greets you, sir!"

Two people, one older and one younger, helped each other bow down to the young man on the steps of the library.

They wandered and stumbled their way to the capital, only to find that everything had changed and the capital was completely different from what they remembered.

In the vast capital of the Tang Dynasty, there was nowhere for them to settle down.

This place... might be where hope lies.

On the steps, Lin Fan, dressed in white, held a book and quietly watched them. The ancient pavilion and the falling snow made the whole world seem to become his silhouette.

"They're here."

Lin Fan said, a smile appearing on his face.

"You can read, right?"

Two sheets of paper floated from Lin Fan's hand and landed in the hands of the two people. They took the papers, stroked the ink that was still wet, and were slightly stunned.

Thunder Sword Path!

"Qin Dao"!

The words caught their eye, and they were immediately captivated.

"Boom—"

A thunderclap seemed to echo in Qin Ming's mind, shaking him to his core. In a daze, he seemed to see a bolt of lightning cleaving through the sky, splitting the world in two.

Each character seemed to transform into sword intent, making it almost impossible for him to hold the page.

Qin Ge, standing next to her, was the same, her small cheeks slightly flushed.

An invisible zither melody resounded in my ears. This single page seemed to contain the power of the myriad aspects of the zither, naturally giving rise to countless worlds of the zither.

"this……"

The two looked up at Lin Fan again, their faces filled with shock.

At that moment, they felt as heavy as Mount Tai on the paper in their hands; this was an unparalleled inheritance!

"Can you understand it?"

Lin Fan's voice rang in their ears, and the two quickly nodded, but then shook their heads.

"As long as you can recognize the characters, that's fine."

As Lin Fan spoke, a branch fell into his hand, and Lin Fan looked at Qin Ming.

"Watch this sword strike closely. If one day your sword can reach the level of this sword, then you will be considered the number one sword in this world."

Using a tree branch as a sword, he slashed out, causing the heavy snowfall to stop abruptly, and a bolt of lightning tore through the sky, shaking the entire Tang Dynasty.

One powerful figure after another emerged, but no one knew the origin of this strange phenomenon.

"It seems someone in the capital has broken through. I wonder if it's the patriarch of one of the four great clans or someone from the imperial palace. The Path of Thunder... there aren't many who cultivate this path..."

"However, this is also a good thing for the Tang Dynasty today."

"The vast Tang Dynasty only has one Dao-Slaying Realm expert, the Tang Emperor. If there were another Dao-Slaying Realm expert, our Tang Dynasty would not be in such dire straits."

"But this doesn't seem like the phenomenon of breaking through to the Dao."

……

With a single sword strike, the capital city was thrown into shock!

In front of the library, Qin Ming stared blankly at the sky, his eyes glazed over.

"That's a bit too high-profile."

Lin Fan clicked his tongue slightly at the sight. He had only used his sword casually, but he hadn't expected it to cause such a big commotion. It seemed he would have to be more restrained next time.

Qin Ming withdrew his gaze from the sky, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Then he looked at Lin Fan and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Just how strong is he?

Is it a single sword strike that cleaves the heavens, or just a casual strike?

"Got it? From now on, practice this sword technique. But once you're out, remember not to say that I taught you this technique."

"It's because you have exceptional talent and figured it out on your own."

Lin Fan said.

Qin Ming looked stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Should I practice according to this sword technique?

How do you practice like this?

Lin Fan then looked at Qin Ge. The little girl stared blankly at Lin Fan, her face full of surprise.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and gently tapped the little girl.

"You've changed your mind? You want to learn swordsmanship now?"

The little girl opened her eyes wide, as if waking from a dream. She was slightly taken aback by Lin Fan's words, and then shook her head.

"I want to learn the piano."

She spoke, her eyes filled with an unspeakable stubbornness. Qin Ming, standing beside her, watched this scene, hesitant to speak, and finally fell silent.

"Alright, then listen to me play a piece and see how much you can learn from it."

Beneath the nearly dead banyan tree, a zither had appeared out of nowhere. Its antique strings were covered in snow. Lin Fan gently brushed away the snow and sat down in front of it.

The two people, one big and one small, also came to Lin Fan's side.

Watching Lin Fan tend to the strings of the instrument, then sit quietly and composed.

"The Way of the Qin is different from the Way of Slaughter, but that doesn't mean it lacks the power of slaughter. However, I prefer the power of creation derived from the Way of the Qin."

Lin Fan said, gently plucking the strings, and the whole world fell silent.

"Clang!"

The clear, crisp sound of the piano seemed to soothe all the noise and clamor of the world.

At this moment, the entire world was left with only Lin Fan, his zither, and the withered old banyan tree. Two figures, one large and one small, stared blankly at this scene.

"Life goes on and on, all things are reborn!"

Lin Fan said softly.

As the music played, the old banyan tree behind him slowly revived, with new buds sprouting from its withered branches, followed by the growth of leaves.

miracle!

The two were stunned.

"There are countless ways to play the zither. My understanding of the way to play the zither is creation, endless life, and the power of life. However, this is only my way of playing the zither."

"You can try other ideas if you have them."

As the music ended, Lin Fan looked at Qin Ge and said...

Qin Ge stared blankly at Lin Fan, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. After a while, he shook his head with a serious expression.

"That's exactly what I want to learn."

Lin Fan smiled upon hearing this.

"Okay, then let's learn this."

In fact, from the first moment he saw the two of them, he knew what kind of path they were suited to take: Qin Ming's path of wielding a sword and killing, and Qin Ge's path of playing the zither and creating.

"This zither is for you. It's an old antique from the library, not worth much. Go back and practice more. Diligence can make up for lack of talent. Come once a month from now on."

"As for Qin Ming, there are no swords in the library, so you should go out and find one to practice with."

"Also, you must all remember not to mention me to anyone. You are all exceptionally talented, and you have all figured it out on your own."

Lin Fan said that it was a casual act, and he did not expect it to bear fruit. He only hoped to provide some help to the Tang Dynasty and the human race.

As for anything else, Lin Fan didn't ask for much; this was enough.

The two were slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and then returned to the library.

Qin Ming and Qin Ge stood in the courtyard for a long time. Then Qin Ming picked up the branch that Lin Fan had used and carefully tucked it into his waistband.

This is his sword.

The two walked out of the library courtyard, then looked back.

"The reason why the master is unwilling to recognize us is because we are not capable enough, but one day he will recognize us. We cannot let him down."

Qin Ming said, and Qin Ge nodded in agreement.
