The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 114 Jinyang Mountain

Chun Jun refers to the Chun Jun sword, also known as Chun Gou or Chun Jun, which is a noble and unparalleled treasured sword.

It was cast by Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and belonged to King Goujian of Yue.

It is one of the ten most famous swords, alongside other renowned swords such as Zhanlu, Shengxie, Yuchang, and Juque.

He is also one of the Five Swords of Vietnam!

King Yunchang of Yue ordered Ou Yezi to forge five precious swords. Ou Yezi, inspired by the spirit of heaven and possessing all his skills, created three major swords and two minor swords: Zhanlu, Chun Jun, Shengxie, Yuchang, and Juque.

They were collectively known as the Five Swords of Yue.

The legend about this sword dates back to when Goujian consulted Xue Zhu, the greatest sword appraiser in the land at the time.

The King of Yue asked, "Someone wants to exchange a thousand fine horses, three wealthy villages, and two large cities for this precious sword. What do you think?"

Xue Zhu quickly said, "We can't change it."

Some say that Goujian took him to his tomb and buried him with him.

Zhang Tianlu came for the mission, and after death, everything is empty; the status and position he had in life no longer exist.

However, it was later confirmed that the sword was not the Chun Jun sword.

The pommel is rolled outward into a circular shape, with 11 concentric circles spaced only 0.2 millimeters apart cast inside. The blade is covered with regular black diamond-shaped patterns.

The presence of this sword in this tomb suggests that this may very well be the true tomb of King Goujian of Yue.

At that time, they only found one sword that was equally beautiful and perfectly sharp, the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue.

The sword of King Goujian of Yue from the Spring and Autumn Period that was unearthed at that time was 55.7 cm long, with a handle length of 8.4 cm, a sword width of 4.6 cm, and weighed 875 grams.

Goujian asked, "Why? Explain your reasoning."

Xue Zhu excitedly exclaimed, “Because this sword is a masterpiece forged by both heaven and man. To forge this sword, the thousand-year-old Chijin Mountain broke open to reveal tin, and the ten-thousand-year-old Ruoye River dried up to reveal copper. During the forging, the Thunder God struck the iron, the Rain Goddess poured water, the dragon held the furnace, and the Heavenly Emperor added charcoal. The master swordsmith Ou Yezi, by divine mandate, devoted himself to forging and polishing this sword with the gods for ten years before it was completed. After the sword was completed, the gods returned to heaven, Chijin Mountain closed up as before, the Ruoye River surged again, and Ou Yezi died from exhaustion. This sword has become a legend, what are mere horses and cities worth…”

A corpse is a corpse, and Zhang Tianlu will not stop him from working just because the corpse puppet was of noble status in life.

When the sword was unearthed, even though it had been buried underground for thousands of years, its blade was still incredibly sharp and could easily cut through several layers of paper.

Goujian nodded in satisfaction: "That makes sense. Since it is a priceless treasure, I will cherish it forever."

No one knew where the legendary Chun Jun sword of the King of Yue had gone. At this moment, Zhang Tianlu looked at the sword in his hand.

However, after the tomb was later excavated, the sword was not found among the burial objects of various sizes within the tomb.

The Sword of Goujian, King of Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period, embodies the highest level of short weapon manufacturing at that time and is hailed as the "Number One Sword Under Heaven," a treasure among bronze weapons.

In other words, the corpse of the drought demon he subdued might be the legendary King of Yue.

This story comes from the "Yue Jue Shu".

At that time, many archaeologists believed that the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, was the legendary Chun Jun Sword.

Near the hilt on the front is an inscription in bird-script that reads "made by King Goujian of Yue." The hilt is inlaid with blue glass on the front and turquoise on the back.

Of course, who he is has nothing to do with Zhang Tianlu.

After Goujian, there was no further news of Chun Jun in the world.

Since you've already become a drought demon, you might as well do your job well.

He also put away the Chun Jun sword.

The spirituality of this sword is no less than that of the Celestial Master Sword that Zhang Tianlu currently holds.

Moreover, in terms of quality, it is no worse than the Thunder God Sword he currently wields.

After receiving the Chun Jun Sword, Zhang Tianlu finally heard the system notification.

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! You have defeated the zombies and obtained the Chun Jun Sword. Rewards include: [Restore 10% of your cultivation], [Restore 10% of your lightning magic], [Myriad Swords Divine Guidance], and 1000 million points!"

As the system notification sounded, Zhang Tianlu felt his cultivation level indeed return. His lightning magic and cultivation level recovered by 10%.

In addition, it had already recovered 20%.

In other words, Zhang Tianlu's cultivation level has now recovered to 30%.

Although he hasn't reached even half of his peak cultivation level in life, it's already incredibly terrifying.

Even with only a fraction of his former cultivation, he could still be invincible among mortals!
Having received all the rewards, Zhang Tianlu left the place.

As for the graves here, villagers will discover them after Zhang Tianlu leaves, and then report them to the authorities for development.

Those were outside his scope of consideration.

After leaving Wanhai City, Zhang Tianlu went to Longhu Mountain.

I just sent Master Xuanzhen back to Longhu Mountain to prepare, because the matter of Yuan Ling, the traitor of the Taoist sect, can't be left like this, there are still people behind him.

A whole nest of rats is harmed.

Jin Yangshan is a family tradition, and since the son is collaborating with Sakura the Imp, the father is also implicated.

Since you have betrayed the Taoist sect, you should be prepared to be expelled from the sect by the Taoist ancestral home, Longhu Mountain.

After returning to Longhu Mountain, Xuanzhen Celestial Master offered incense to his ancestor and the Three Pure Ones and told them about the matter.

Three claps of thunder sounded on Longhu Mountain.

The patriarch is aware of this.

This matter is entirely entrusted to them to handle.

After Xuanzhen Celestial Master made preparations, Zhang Tianlu arrived above Longhu Mountain.

Then came the matter of cleaning house.

Jinyang Mountain is located in Ziyuan City, north of Longhu Mountain.
Xuanzhen Celestial Master led his men straight to Ziyuan City.

At this moment, the Taoist temple on Jinyang Mountain is completely deserted.

All the Taoist priests were dismissed, and the Taoist temple was in disrepair, looking like it hadn't been repaired for several years.

Even the most important statues of the Three Pure Ones in a Taoist temple are covered in dust and no one cleans them.

An old Taoist priest with a hooked nose walked to the gate of the Taoist temple carrying his luggage.

Before leaving, he looked back at the Taoist temple where he had lived for decades.

An indescribable complexity in his eyes.

This Jinyang Mountain Taoist temple is their family's ancestral temple. He has lived here since he was a child, for decades.

He began reading Taoist scriptures and entered the Taoist path at a very young age.

My childhood dream was to revitalize Taoism and their Jinyang Mountain lineage.

Then I later learned that life is hard, and for one generation to revitalize a mountain sect is simply a pipe dream.

The decline of the Jin Yang Mountain Taoist sect was inevitable; a comeback was virtually impossible.

Taoist priests are already poor; if they have no money, how can they afford to repair their temples?
The golden Arhat statues outside sit high in the main hall of the temple, located in the heart of the city, naturally attracting a constant stream of tourists who come to pay their respects.

Then look at their Jinyang Mountain Taoist temple, which is built on a mountain that rises high into the clouds.

Without the fame of Longhu Mountain, why would tourists come here?
The Taoist temple itself was not functioning properly, and their lives were already difficult.

How can we live like this?
Ten years ago, the abbot of Jinyang Mountain Taoist Temple went on a trip and returned to find that his temple and residence had been bulldozed by capitalists.

The authorities thought the Taoist temple was deserted and were planning to demolish it in order to develop tourism in Jinyang Mountain.

How could the abbot of Jinyang Mountain Taoist Temple not break down mentally?
