The Young Swordsman: The Taoist Priest of Qingcheng Has Descended the Mountain

The Heavenly Sword Pavilion and the Number One Building Under Heaven are located next to the Imperial Observatory.

The Imperial Advisor, of course, has the authority to open it.

"I want to understand some things and clarify some doubts."

As far as I know, more than two hundred years ago, immortals from beyond the four directions would often descend from there.

Why is there no sound more than two hundred years later?

There may not be many people like me in the world, but "like my junior brother"... that's not quite right either.

"Geniuses like yourself must have appeared many times in the past two hundred years. Why is it that only your junior brother Mo Yi and that person from the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven have achieved the status of Earth Immortal?"

Qi Tianchen frowned: "You know Mo Yi is my junior brother? That's right, with your abilities, it's not surprising that you know."

It's just a pity about my junior brother...

But you said there's a celestial being living inside the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven?

Zhou was genuinely surprised: "Uncle-Master doesn't know?"

Qi Tianchen slowly shook his head: "Everyone's experience and hearing when entering the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven is different."

That first building under heaven was originally the site of the Qin Dynasty, and it was full of all sorts of wonders.

The No. 1 Building Under Heaven will reflect different scenes according to your mood.

Although I've been inside, I truly didn't know there were earth immortals guarding it.

Zhou didn't really dwell on this issue; it wasn't that important to him anyway.

Whether Qi Tianchen knows it or not, I will always find him.

"Alright, let's put that aside for now. Aside from the fact that very few people become immortals, why are there so many people in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, but so few who enter the Divine Travel Mystic Realm?"

This realm is indeed difficult to enter, but how many geniuses are there in the entire Northern Li, Southern Jue, and the four realms of East, West, South and North? Why are there so few people who break through to this realm?

As far as I know, when one enters a divine realm, one must guard the four borders to prevent immortals from descending to the mortal world.

The invincible Mr. Li from the academy back then went to guard the northern border, and your junior brother went to the eastern border.

If the immortals are truly determined to descend, can one, two, or even three or four divine beings really stop them?

Why have there been no new spiritual journeys in recent years, nor have any immortals been seen?

Is it because the immortals from beyond the realm have suddenly lost interest in this world?

Qi Tianchen almost pulled his beard off: "It seems you do know a lot."

Zhou Zhen softened his tone and sighed, "I'd rather not know some things."

Qi Tianchen remained silent for a long time before nodding.

"I'll take you to the No. 1 restaurant in the world."

Don't you want to go to the Heavenly Sword Pavilion?

I see you don't even have a sword with you.

Zhou Zhenhuan stood up and stretched: "What use is a sword? At my level, everything in heaven and earth can be a sword."

Qi Tianchen flicked his whisk, turned and left: "Never mind what I said."

The world's number one building, though only four stories high, soars into the clouds.

It is said that the Ascension Pavilion in Snowmoon City was built in imitation of this, but it is merely a copy.

Zhou Zhenhuan stood at the entrance of the No. 1 Restaurant under Heaven, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

"Oh? I see you don't welcome me? Well then, I'll go in and take a look."

Chapter 59 The Strange Qingcheng Mountain

Red King Xiao Yu felt like he had been a monkey lately, being led around all over the mountain.

Upon learning that the carefree immortal had left the Western Regions, he hurried to Qingcheng.

Just as they were about to reach Qingcheng Mountain, they received news that the person had arrived in Tianqi.

Xiao Yu's mood was as gloomy and frightening as the weather.

Occasionally, a few crows would caw loudly, and they would be shot through with arrows, falling to the ground with a thud, clearly beyond saving.

"Your Highness, something seems amiss at Mount Qingcheng lately."

Just as Xiao Yu was struggling with whether to continue to Qingcheng or return to Tianqi, another message arrived.

A message that seems quite inexplicable.

"Oh? What's wrong with Qingcheng Mountain?"

"Recently, many martial arts practitioners have come down from Qingcheng Mountain. It is said that there is a supreme sword stele at the entrance of Qingcheng Mountain. Some people have entered the realm of carefree living after studying the sword stele."

According to the news from Qingcheng Mountain, the sword stele was erected by that carefree immortal.

Therefore, people flocked to Qingcheng in search of swords.

If that's all, that's it.

Qingcheng seems to have created a new method of cultivation.

Those who seek the sword can hang themselves upside down at a high place, which greatly accelerates their cultivation.

This has already been confirmed by the Qingcheng Sect members.

Every day, people are clamoring to use cheat codes; it's quite a spectacle.

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Yu was completely bewildered and dumbfounded.

Hanging yourself upside down to cultivate faster? I've been cultivating for so long, and I've never heard of such a method before.

"Wait a minute, repeat what you just said."

"Yes, Your Highness, about Qingcheng..."

After listening to it again, Xiao Yu was still confused.

However, he didn't press the matter further: "Continue."

"Yes! There is a large bamboo forest at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain."

Legend has it that the carefree immortal gathered bamboo to make a sword in that bamboo forest, and comprehended a sword intent that is both strong and gentle.

Therefore, bamboo is now extremely scarce in that bamboo forest, and many people fight each other to find a suitable bamboo to hang themselves on.

Even more prestigious families are willing to spend lavishly just to secure a spot on their signboard.

Xiao Yu remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

The idea of ​​hanging oneself up to cultivate is simply absurd.

"Qingcheng Mountain is ignored?"

"Well... speaking of which, this trend was started by the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain."

"Furthermore, a few days ago, the Furious Sword Immortal seemed to have gained some insight in front of the sword monument, and his sword aura soared into the sky. He claimed that this sword should be the Immortal Sword."

The Wine Immortal also appeared before the Sword Stele. The elusive Academy Chancellor—the Confucian Sword Immortal—even inscribed a sword intent scroll before that stele. Upon completion, the scroll drew forth a sky full of stars, its effects lingering for a long time.

Xiao Yu was shocked. Although he had already learned from his adoptive father Luo Qingyang that the carefree immortal in Qingcheng was a true immortal of this era.

Unexpectedly, leaving behind only a sword monument has caused such a stir.

"The plan remains unchanged. We'll continue to Qingcheng Mountain. I want to see what kind of trouble Qingcheng Mountain is up to."

On Mount Qingcheng, a young Taoist boy ran swiftly to the front of the Ancestral Hall, which was under construction, and found Yin Changsong, who looked several years younger.

"Grandmaster, people from Tianqi have arrived. It's a large group of people, carrying not only gold and silver rewards, but also a large number of craftsmen."

They said they had received a decree from the Immortal of Freedom to help rebuild the Ancestral Hall.

Upon hearing this, Yin Changsong smiled so broadly that all the wrinkles on his face disappeared.

"Oh? Really? That wretch... cough cough, he did do a good thing after all."

"Quickly, come with me down the mountain to greet them."

"But now there's a problem?"

"You brat, just say it all at once, what's wrong with that?"

"Well, the Apocalypse's forces are being blocked outside by those who came seeking the sword; some can't get in."

Yin Changsong's face darkened; this was outrageous.

"Go, let that bastard Li Fansong handle it."

Although Qingcheng Mountain is not stingy, there have been just too many people lately.

We need to establish a rule: if you want to comprehend it, you must first ask the sword in Li Fansong's hand.

Furthermore, all the disciples from the Free and Easy Realm have been sent out. Just cultivating isn't enough; they also need to fight and get some experience.

"Ah? Grandmaster, this is probably a bit difficult. Recently, because of that stele, many senior uncles, senior brothers and fellow disciples have broken through to new heights."

"If we send out all the people from the Free Realm of Qingcheng now, it would be too many."

"Senior Brother Changsong, hahaha, Senior Brother Changsong, I, I've broken through! I never expected to break through to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm at such an advanced age."

Look, once I entered the realm of carefree living, my beard turned black, and look at my skin, isn't it firm?

"Senior Brother Changsong? Why do you look so pale? Shouldn't you be happy for your junior brother right now?"

Yin Changsong's face darkened: "Get out!"

Looking back, he saw the young Taoist was still there, and he became even angrier: "What are you still standing there for? Let that brat Li Fansong handle it."

The young Taoist priest quickly bowed and ran away in a flash.

Yin Changsong's feelings were incredibly complicated.

Qingcheng has indeed prospered.

Perhaps, a mountain full of sword immortals is not an unattainable dream.

Thinking of Li Fansong and Feixuan, the two little guys, I felt both angry and gratified.

These two were the first to hang themselves up and cultivate, and ridiculously, their progress was incredibly fast.

Just a few months ago, Li Fansong had only just entered the Freedom realm, but now he has already reached the Half-Step Freedom realm.

Tianqi City, the White King's Mansion.

Xiao Chong was somewhat surprised to see Zang Ming return alone.

"What? Did the senior think you were too uncouth and send you back?"

To keep the news of his restored sight a secret, Xiao Chong mostly stayed indoors except when he went to see the emperor.

Zang Ming scratched his head: "That's not it. Senior Zhou said he's going to pay a visit today, and it's not very convenient for him to bring me along."

"A personal visit? Who in this world is qualified to receive a personal visit from a senior?"

Zang Ming scratched his head again: "Your Highness, perhaps the senior just thinks it's fun to visit others."

Xiao Chong nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes some sense. But let's not talk about that for now; Senior naturally has his own plans."

Read me the news from recently.

Although Xiao Chong's eyesight has been restored, he still retains some of his old habits.

Zang Minggong responded respectfully.

"Your Highness, the Crimson King has been staying in the Western Regions for several months, and it seems that he has been in contact with the Southern Jue."

However, many spies were lost, and no concrete evidence was obtained.

Xiao Chong nodded, a meaningful look flashing across his face.

"The Red King has been operating in the Western Regions for a long time. It's not easy to find any fault with him."

"The Red King has returned from the Western Regions and is currently on his way to Mount Qingcheng."

Zang Ming's heart skipped a beat: "Your Highness, could it be that the Crimson King is also after Senior Zhou?"

"That's natural. That Lone Sword Immortal will surely tell him something, so it's not surprising."
