Chapter 415 Taiyi Jade Pavilion

"In fact, what we need to focus on when the Wutai Sect gets the Meteor Sword is not the sharpness of the Wutai Flying Sword in the future."

When Shao Siming spoke, Feifei and the others immediately stopped talking and listened attentively.

"Before the Wutai Sect joined the Xuan Sect, it was already famous for its exquisite sword-making techniques. Among them, the side sects include the Bailing Immortal Slaying Sword, the Qinglong Sea-Raging Sword, and the Five Poison Immortal Swords. The demon sects include the corresponding Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Sword, the Blood Sea Divine Infant Sword, the Buddha Demon Sect's Five Elements Wonderful Light Sword, the Lord Demon Sect's Poison Taki Evil Mist Sword, and the Xuan Sect's Xuandu Zifu Sword, the Taiyi Five Spirits Sword, and the Hunyuan Liangyi Sword."

Shao Siming first described the most famous swords of the Wutai Sect, and then sneered: "But none of these ten flying swords are simply known for their sharpness. Most of them are integrated with their materials, or through special magic prohibitions, to extend many changes. The three swords of the side door are occupied by the word "odd", the four swords of the magic are occupied by the word "weird", and the three swords of the mysterious door..."

After a pause, Shao Siming chose his words carefully and said, "According to his sword-refining ideas, the finished product is a standard Xuanmen superior flying sword, but it is mixed with a little bit of the concept of refining demons and defending the way, which makes it a little unique. However, my Jinhua Sect has been passed down for many years, and there are more than a dozen similar flying swords. There are also two flying sword methods of refining demons and transforming into the way, so it is not particularly powerful."

"The real uniqueness of Wutai Sect lies in its cultivation system that integrates both immortals and demons. This system is the core of its inheritance. Therefore, the sharpness brought by the Meteor Sword is not that great. What I am really worried about is that if Wutai Taoist integrates the sword-making concept of the former Wu Kingdom into his own system, that will be the most troublesome part. This kind of improvement is not a simple external blessing, but an internal, essential change..."

When Wu Chaoxi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

"Wu and Yue have been two major sword-refining holy places in the Central Plains since ancient times. The two countries of Wu and Yue in the East today also inherited the sword-refining methods of the two places and were established, but they have taken different paths. If Taoist Wutai really comprehends the essence of Wu Sword, then the Wutai Sect will not only improve the sharpness of flying swords, but also improve sword refining, Qi refining, and even sword techniques."

Shao Siming nodded, looked towards the Central Plains, and recalled the nearest branch of Taiyi Xianmen.

"It's too early to talk about this now. Let's go to Yulou Pavilion and check the situation. According to the information from the Daomen Sect, many people from the Wutai Sect have also come."

Let’s talk. Shao Siming was the first to descend on the cloud light and headed towards Yulou Pavilion, a branch of Taiyi Xianmen.

The Yulou Pavilion is also a big anomaly in the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and is a rare sword immortal sect.

Moreover, the inheritance of this lineage is somewhat special. It is said that when Taiyi Zhenjun was preaching the Great Heaven, he was explaining the Shangqing Dharma on the cliff where the Yulou Pavilion is located. Someone asked whether the Shangqing lineage was famous for swordsmanship.

Zhenjun Taiyi refuted, saying that although the sword immortal's method is the wonderful method of Shangqing, its essence is still to save people and change. Whether it is the secret Tiangang Thirty-six Methods of Shangqing Taoism or the Seventy-two Disha Methods, they are all methods that can reach heaven and earth.

Even though Jade Calendar Master is famous for his swordsmanship, the basis of his practice is the secret method of Shangqing Dao, "The Five Tribulations Sutra of the Era". The fruit of his practice is called the Five Tribulations Fruit of Taiyuan, not the Fruit of the Sword Immortal.

"The so-called sword path is nothing more than the external manifestation of our immortal method. Its effectiveness lies more in protecting the way and subduing demons. There are very few people who can truly achieve the immortal way with this method."

After Master Taiyi finished speaking, he also demonstrated a sword light that reached the sky, which turned seventy-two times in the air, just like a mysterious sound from the sky, indicating that this sword light was created by evolving the Shangqing sword art with his own Taoism.

Because, at that time, the lingering sound of Taiyi Zhenjun's sword light echoed all around, and the cultivators who heard his preaching built the Jade Tower, using the method of sheathing the sword to preserve the sword's intent, and established the Immortal Gate's Jade Tower.

Similarly, because there was the sword intent left by Master Taiyi in the Jade Tower, when the two worlds collided a hundred years ago, the remaining sword light here instantly became spiritual and transformed into a sword weapon that tried to kill the cultivators here, gather their sword hearts and sword intent, and achieve its own success.

But before the sword could make any move, it disappeared under a ray of sword light from the sky.

That sword light not only cut off the sword, but also cut off the sword intent and sword heart of the 374 sword immortals of Yulou Pavilion.

Today, Yulou Pavilion has become a third-rate sect.

"It's hard for Wutai Sect to find it. But to attack such a sect, Wutai Sect is really a bit..."

Shao Siming shook his head and warned Feifei, Guo Shan and Wu Chaoxi along the way.

"After the changes in Yulou Pavilion a hundred years ago, only one in ten cultivators are left now, and the highest rank is only the sixth rank. Most of the cultivators sent by Wutai Sect are also sixth rank. If there are fifth rank cultivators, I will stop them, but you will need to deal with the sixth rank."

As soon as Wu Chaoxi heard this, he knew that Shao Siming was planning to train him and others, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

They rode on the cloud light and arrived in front of the Jade Tower. The tower that was once legendary for being carved out of jade was now only half left. On the empty sword-practicing platform, only a few young children were brandishing swords.

A pale-faced young man was standing next to them, guiding them. Unfortunately, the boy was obviously in poor health and was out of breath after just a few simple movements.

Wu Chaoxi frowned slightly when he saw this: "It's a bit strange. This young swordsman has obviously achieved the sixth rank, but why is he so sickly?"

"Who?"

Wu Chaoxi's words startled the young man. He turned to look at the gate of Wu Dynasty and saw Shao Siming and his party. He was surprised and then stepped forward, looked at Shao Siming and said respectfully: "Greetings, senior."

Shao Siming could feel the boy's tense spirit, and there was a trace of sword intent hidden deep in his body, but the sword intent itself was also tormenting the boy. He said softly, "I am from the Jinhua Sect of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. I am here to visit the Yulou Pavilion today. Please inform me."

"Jinhua Sect?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then reacted and hurriedly invited Shao Siming and others in, and at the same time asked someone to invite the head master to come out.

Looking at the young Taoist priest who also had a pale face walking out of the Jade Tower.

After a simple greeting and confirming the identities of both parties, Shao Siming frowned slightly and said, "May I ask Daoist Minghua, there is a problem with the inheritance of Yulou Pavilion. Why is it that you and this Daoist, who have achieved the sixth level, have both injured their lung meridians?"

Shao Siming said this and looked at the young man next to him. The young man named Minghua smiled bitterly when he heard it.

"Although I don't know how your sect avoids the influence of foreign laws and principles, the situation of my Jade Tower is special. A hundred years ago, a sword light destroyed the sect's inheritance. Once disciples like me practice the method, when they achieve the sixth level, they will inevitably see a ray of sword light falling. At the least, the sword will become stronger and pierce the lung meridian. At the worst, they will be unable to withstand it and their cultivation will drop."

Taoist Minghua said with a bitter smile: "After achieving the sixth rank, I often feel the sword light from the sky pointing at me from afar. I need to constantly hone my sword will, forge the edge, and fight against the broken swords in the Jade Pavilion. Only by wearing each other down can I get a chance to breathe."

Feifei's eyes widened when he heard that. He really wanted to ask, why do you still want to practice when it is so dangerous.

The young man beside Taoist Minghua seemed to see his doubts and explained: "Although practicing this method is painful, the achievement is not low. I am only 32 years old this year, but I have achieved the sixth level, and my combat power is far better than that of an ordinary sixth-level cultivator." "But your lifespan is far less than that of an ordinary sixth-level cultivator."

Shao Siming pointed out the young man's problem, stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the void, and a little spiritual light descended.

"No!"

Taoist Minghua and the young man spoke at the same time, but the spiritual light had already descended, surrounding the young man and Taoist Minghua, cleansing their bodies, repairing their injuries, and trying to restore their lung meridians.

The next moment, Shao Siming felt a sharp edge emerging from the two of them, and their aura was the same power as that in the Sun and Moon Eternal Lamps.

'Jade Calendar Master?'

Shao Siming was startled and hurriedly summoned a wisp of mist from Chu Tai, wrapped it around the purple bamboo branch, and shook it gently, hiding himself in the void. The sharp edge fell, broke through the mist, and was caught by the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring, twisted up and down, and crushed into specks of spiritual light.

Everything happened very suddenly, and with the sharpness emerging from the young man and Minghua, Guo Shan, Feifei and Wu Chaoxi stood up one after another, staring at the two of them with wary expressions.

After making a sharp cry, the cat turned into a ten-foot long creature and circled around Shao Siming, staring at Minghua and the young man with a somewhat ferocious look on its face.

"Get out!"

Shao Siming suddenly spoke. Guo Shan and Feifei wanted to speak but were stopped by Wu Chaoxi and stepped aside. Mao'er meowed twice to express her dissatisfaction, and then under Shao Siming's comfort, she changed back to her original size, jumped into Shao Siming's arms, and blocked some of her vital parts.

Shao Siming bowed to Minghua and the other man, apologized for his previous rash treatment of them, and then asked them if they had always been like this.

"Most of us who have just entered the sixth rank will have this problem. For the seniors who are still alive, these problems are less severe, but they still have to endure the pain of having their sword will and sword heart cut off by a similar sharp edge."

Hearing this, Shao Siming had some guesses in her mind. She thought about it for a while and made a somewhat excessive request.

"Can you let me see the sect's inheritance?"

"This?" Taoist Minghua was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to start. Then another voice came from inside the house.

"Since the other party wants it, then give it to him... hm?"

An old man half the height of a man walked out. He was short, with white hair and beard, and slightly cloudy eyes. But when he stared at Shao Siming, he revealed a hint of murderous intent.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be from the Jinhua Sect? But the boy next to you has the air of a descendant of the Yinjing Sect."

Upon seeing this, Shao Siming flew out the Taiyi Two-Phase Ring, crisscrossing up and down, dropping wisps of Taiyi Xuanhui Miaodao Zhenqi. At the same time, Chu Tai's voice was heard.

"Shao Siming is my incarnation. I am currently staying in Jinhua Cave Heaven and it is not easy for me to go out. I hope you can forgive me."

"Interesting. Your true Qi doesn't look like the Taiyi Jinhua Sect's Taiyi Yujing Danque Jinhua Miaoqi, but I can feel some of its mysteries, just like the true Qi in this kid, which also has traces of the Yinjing Sect, but it is not the inheritance of the Yinjing Sect. Is this the method that your two sects came up with to solve the law of the foreign land?"

As the old man spoke, he looked at Guo Shan beside him.

Seeing this, Shao Siming explained, "Although there are some reasons, it is not simply this way. Both I and Guo Shan have walked our own paths based on the sect's inheritance and our own characteristics."

"They have walked their own paths, and it seems they have been quite successful. The Jinhua Sect and the Yinjing Sect are lucky to have produced two talents at a time like this to continue their tradition... cough cough cough..."

As he was talking, the old man started coughing continuously. Shao Siming waved the purple bamboo branch in his hand, dropping dots of emerald green light.

"It's useless. My body is not... um... weird. What kind of magical power do you have that can actually drive away the shadow of that True Lord..."

The old man looked at Shao Siming with shock. He felt that most of the wounds in his body were repaired by the emerald green light. Although about 60% of the healed wounds were torn apart by the sword intent surging in his body, they were indeed much better than before.

The old man was very surprised and inadvertently revealed something.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the problem with our sect's inheritance?"

The old man nodded when he heard this: "I know. Of course I don't know. After that sword light cut off the sword hearts and sword intentions of me and 373 fellow disciples, I knew the origin of that sword light."

"The sword light in the Jade Tower originated from the imitation of Shangqing Sword Dao by the Taiyi Patriarch in the past. Therefore, the inheritance of our lineage also has some traces of Shangqing Sword Dao. Who else but that True Lord could have affected our foundations from a distance and cut off the laws and principles of the foreign Dao brought by the Taiyi Patriarch? At the same time, that True Lord seemed to have left his sword intent on us and our skills in order to suppress the spread of the laws and principles of the foreign Dao..."

"Since you know this, why do you still want to teach others the technique?"

Feifei was already a little confused, and now he was even more confused. He originally thought that almost all the cultivators in Yulou Pavilion were dead, and it was for the sake of inheritance.

But now the old man is obviously in better physical condition, so why does he still let Minghua and the young man learn such skills?

"Because that True Lord is a cultivator of the Shangqing Dao, his core mission is to save people."

The old man spoke slowly, "The only problem is that the True Lord's method of saving people is rather cruel. If the children want to learn his method, they need to pay a certain price. As a reward, they will have the opportunity to comprehend the True Lord's sword intent. They are much better than the useless people like us who are constantly receiving sword intent to suppress the possible emergence of foreign laws and principles in our bodies. They are also the ones who are most likely to pass on the sect."

Upon hearing this, Feifei looked at Minghua and the young man beside her. From the looks of their faces, it was obvious that they had known all this for a long time and had made their own choices.

After a moment of silence, Shao Siming tried to repair the old man's body. However, no matter the emerald green light brought by "Shao Siming", the mist derived from "Yun Zhongjun", or the long river phantom of "He Bo", they could only repair, obscure and guide part of the sword intent in the old man's body. The sword intent entangled in the origin of the old man's mind was not affected by the three forces at all.
