Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

The water flows on and on; in reality, Xu Qing remains seated cross-legged.

This situation did not last long.

When he opened his eyes, his gaze immediately fell upon the sword-forging furnace beside him.

His arm rose, and the yin and yang energies condensed and then entered the sword-forging furnace. In an instant, the furnace fire was ignited.

boom!!

As the raging flames grew, the spirit-gathering array was activated. All the arrays that Xu Qing had set up around the furnace, as well as the runes inscribed on the sword-forging furnace, lit up. In an instant, all the surrounding spiritual energy converged towards this place.

Even though Xiaoyaozi couldn't see what was happening here, he could still sense the unusual movements of heaven and earth within the bamboo forest.

"Just like the time of Louguan..."

Xiaoyaozi's gaze sharpened, and he immediately thought of the Louguan incident once again.

After Xiaoyaozi sensed this, soon after, all the elders and disciples within the Human Sect also sensed the changes in the world and felt the primordial energy converging towards a certain place.

Xiaoyaozi knew about Xu Qing's visit to the Taoist sect, and the other elders naturally knew as well.

It was Mu Xuzi who personally invited Xu Qing to come.

Upon first hearing this, some elders harbored resentment towards Mu Xuzi. However, as time went on, Xu Qing traveled with Xiaoyaozi through the Human Sect and did not show any inclination to harm the sect, so they gradually let go of their dissatisfaction.

No matter what, there are always tall people to hold up the sky when it falls.

Since the sect leader has taken over the task of entertaining Xu Qing, it's not their place to point fingers.

until this moment-

"This feeling..."

"An unusual movement of vital energy?"

"Is it that person?"

Xiaoyaozi did not hide Xu Qing's plan to forge the sword from the elders of the Human Sect. After all, the Human Sect was not a place where Xiaoyaozi could make decisions on his own, and the elders also had the right to make decisions and the right to know.

Although they didn't stay in the bamboo grove near the stream like Xiaoyaozi, they weren't completely indifferent to Xu Qing's situation either.

"With such a commotion, does he always make such a grand show every time he forges a sword?"

Several elders had personally experienced the battle at Louguan.

At that time, both the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect had formed formations to fight against Xu Qing, but they all failed.

Afterwards, a review was naturally conducted.

The reason why Xu Qing's sword-forging caused such a stir, attracting experts from both the Heavenly and Human Sects and even the appearance of Master Beiming, was ultimately because Xu Qing's sword-forging was so massive that it could be sensed by any expert with some cultivation throughout the entire Taiyi Mountain region.

"It's normal that we can't understand the actions of extraordinary people!"

Mu Xuzi responded to the elder who had spoken earlier, his words filled with indifference.

Upon hearing this, the other elders couldn't help but smile wryly.

They were high and mighty elders when facing ordinary disciples, but when facing Xu Qing, they were utterly insignificant.

They couldn't refute Mu Xuzi's words.

However, some elders remembered other things.

"Did the sect leader anticipate this? This time, the sword-forging site is within the territory of our Human Sect. It seems that even the ordinary disciples have sensed something unusual this time..."

"Will the people of the Heavenly Sect be able to sense it?"

Upon hearing this, the other elders also began to ponder deeply.

"They've probably already sensed it!"

After the question was raised, one of the elders standing at the very edge spoke up.

This is because disciples of the Heavenly Sect have already appeared in their field of vision.

The Celestial and Human Sects reside on the same mountain, yet they are not as distinct as the Jing and Wei Rivers. Aside from their differing philosophies, the Celestial and Human Sects do not usually prohibit their disciples from communicating with each other.

As long as it doesn't involve each other's core traditions, or even being friends with each other, it's acceptable.

When Mu Xuzi noticed the Tianzong disciples who had come here, he thought of the Tianzong's domineering nature.

The Human Sect has lost to the Mysterious Platform Sword Viewing three times in a row. The impact of this is not just that the Human Sect leader is inferior to the Heavenly Sect. It can be said that from top to bottom, the Heavenly Sect has completely surpassed the Human Sect. The people of the Heavenly Sect pursue the Heavenly Dao, are indifferent to worldly affairs, and have an arrogant personality. In recent years, the Heavenly Sect has transcended the world, and the disciples of the Human Sect are in the same mountain as them, which is actually a very awkward situation.

Now, Xu Qing's sword-making has caused such a big commotion.

Will a conflict erupt after the people of the Heavenly Sect learn of this matter?

Some elders go to great lengths to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings.

Mu Xuzi, however, saw an opportunity in this.

"This might be a good thing for me!"

The conflict between the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect is not a matter of a day or two.

Mu Xuzi was unable to resolve these conflicts, but if he could demonstrate his sincerity to Xu Qing through this incident, he might be able to regain Xu Qing's favor and then have her speak well of him in Qin.

Within the Heavenly Sect.

When some disciples noticed something amiss at the Human Sect and rushed over,

Bei Mingzi, who had been in seclusion, suddenly appeared before Chi Songzi.

"The unusual activity of the Human Sect is negligible!"

"Let all those disciples come back!"

The few words reached Chishongzi's ears, causing him to pause in surprise.

"Master?"

He didn't understand what his master meant.

"This matter is related to that old friend from Louguan..."

Bei Mingzi explained softly.

Chisongzi immediately thought of the battle at Louguan.

If Xiaoyaozi improved his skills by constantly reviewing that battle, then for Chisongzi, who had always won and never lost, that battle was an extremely heavy blow, and it was already showing signs of evolving into a mental demon.

Thinking of the outcome of that battle, his expression immediately turned somewhat grim.

We can't win, we simply can't win!

He had never met such a person before, and the feeling he evoked was far more profound than when he faced his master.

No matter how many times he reviewed that battle, he found that he had no chance of winning.

He had certainly sensed some clues about the Human Sect's affairs, but Chishongzi did not take them to heart.

He had no interest in where this strange change came from; he only wanted to focus on cultivation and gain greater power so that he wouldn't be completely desperate when facing that person.

Unexpectedly, I heard news about that person from my master.

The other party actually came to the Human Sect. Is the commotion in the Human Sect related to that person?

With this in mind, Chisongzi ultimately obeyed his master's arrangement.

"Yes!"

Within the Human Sect, many elders were prepared for a conflict with the Heavenly Sect.

The commotion Xu Qing caused was so great that all the spiritual energy in the mountains converged towards where Xu Qing was.

It should be noted that Mount Taiyi is not the Mount Taiyi of the Human Sect, but is shared by the Celestial and Human Sects. Since it involves the common property of the two sects, it is not surprising that the Celestial Sect has taken action.

As a result, just as the Heavenly Sect arrived in a menacing manner...

Many elders and elite disciples of the Heavenly Sect arrived suddenly and summoned back the disciples who had come from the vicinity.

The entire Heavenly Sect adopted an attitude of tacit approval of what was happening here.

This, however, puzzled the elders of the sect.

Beside the stream.

Xu Qing tempered the forged sword blank here.

"All aspects of the mortal world, the seven emotions and six desires, love, hate, and grudges, are hidden in the sword!"

"The sword is complete!"

As Xu Qing swung the hammer, it seemed as if he had poured everything in the mortal world into the sword.

In this Taoist realm, far removed from the world and transcendent, Xu Qing is determined to forge a sword that transcends the mundane.

Chapter 313 A Dream of the Mortal World

Unlike the Longevity Sword, the Dust Sword was not accompanied by many unusual phenomena when it was completed.

In fact, the key to dealing with these unusual phenomena is whether Xu Qing is willing to intervene. If he wants to intervene, he can minimize the impact as much as possible.

That is the case right now.

Once the Spirit Gathering Array is activated, it will instantly draw in the surrounding power of heaven and earth, thereby imbuing the sword with its spirit. Xu Qing cannot interfere too much with this, since the strength of the spiritual energy directly affects the sword's grade.

However, when the sword is completed, he can use the swordsmith's skills and his own abilities as a top swordsman to suppress the sword's spirit, keeping it hidden within the blade and preventing it from being unleashed immediately.

Just like the "Flame Demon Sword" forged in the Yin-Yang School that day, that sword was a collection of many ominous things, extremely violent, but as long as Xu Qing was willing, he could suppress its violence in an instant and make it obediently submit to his palm.

Looking at the sword in his hand.

Xu Qing then extinguished the fire in the furnace and put away the sword-forging furnace and other tools.

Next, they collected the jade talismans that had been buried in various places.

In a short while, the storm subsided.

Xu Qing then looked towards the bamboo forest. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried far enough to reach Xiaoyaozi, who had been waiting there, "You can come over now!"

Since Xu Qing began forging the sword, Xiaoyaozi has been guarding the bamboo forest.

With such a grand display of power, he once thought that a conflict would break out between him and the Heavenly Sect.

Unexpectedly, all talk and no action came in the end; the disciples of the Heavenly Sect, under the constraints of the sect's higher-ups, did not actually come here.
