The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 120 Lu Xueqi's Attention! (This chapter is hard to divide, 5k)

That night
The moonlight is like water, the silent starlight is spreading, and above the sea of ​​clouds, the fluorescent light is shining, but it is a different scenery.

In the dead of night, Chu Hong walked on the Rainbow Bridge, holding a cup of tea, and silently watched this strange scenery.

Many people have seen the sea of ​​clouds during the day, but few have noticed the Rainbow Bridge at night.

Little Gray, who is always naughty, is still so naughty even in the middle of the night. He jumps around and occasionally even joins hands with Big Yellow to bring some food.

Chu Hong looked at all this and just smiled gently, without any excessive criticism.

The sea of ​​clouds without people made his heart extremely peaceful.

In the past few days, the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition was held with great fanfare, and some competitions ended early, leaving only the top four.

Chu Hong, Lu Xueqi, Zhang Xiaofan, Zeng Shushu.

Well... as expected, Chu Hong and Lu Xueqi will compete for a spot in the finals.

Chu Hong is basically sure to get first place in the test. Even if Lu Xueqi uses the magic sword to control thunder, it is unlikely that she can hit him.

Shrinking the distance into an inch, some subtle uses are really huge.

Chu Hong doesn’t feel much pressure, he just likes the peaceful starry sky.

He likes both lively and quiet places.

I like the atmosphere of being surrounded by people, but I also like to be alone and have time without having to think too much and be carefree.

Suddenly, Chu Hong's eyes jumped slightly and he looked towards the side of Hongqiao.

A white figure suddenly appeared in front of him, standing by the bridge, slender and beautiful, standing in the wind, her clothes fluttering slowly. Her snow-white skin even looked a little pale under the moonlight, and even more elegant under the faint starlight in the sky.

Chu Hong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled gently, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Under the clear light, Lu Xueqi stood silently. Her figure under the starlight did not contain any worldly air. She stared at the indifferent man silently. The sword that attracted divine thunder and the earth-shaking momentum seemed to flash before her eyes.

She tightly grasped the sword in her hand with five fingers, a trace of unwillingness flashed through her heart.

After taking a deep look, she seemed to have made up her mind and walked away slowly.

Looking at the white-clothed man slowly walking away, Chu Hong looked at the moon and stars again, and suddenly felt that the moonlight seemed a little dimmer and no longer so bright.

Is this night and this moonlight so beautiful and bright just because of one person?
……

The rising sun shines warmly, and mist is hazy above the sea of ​​clouds.

Just in terms of the number of people, the number of people on the [Qian] platform is almost two or three times that of the [Kun] platform.

[Kun] stage, Zeng Shushu has never been serious, there are not many famous scenes. The match where Zhang Xiaofan advanced from the quarterfinals to the semi-finals was a fluke, there was not even a competition, luck played a big role.

Compared with the not-so-serious Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan who relied more on luck, this scene at the [Qian] stage was really worth watching.

There is no need to say much about Lu Xueqi. She is the most beautiful woman in Xiaozhu Peak in the past 500 years. She has always been cold and aloof, and is one of the favorites to win the championship.

Chu Hong has always been full of gimmicks. The battle between him and Qi Hao made him a god among the younger generation of disciples. Although no one talked about his identity as the number one disciple of the younger generation, most people had already tacitly accepted it.

That battle was the first time that the vast majority of Qingyun's younger generation of disciples saw such divine arts that shook the heavens and the earth, such peerless grace under the endless light, and such invincible posture that caused drastic changes in the heavens and the earth.

In that battle, Qi Hao, who was once hailed as having the potential to win the championship, seemed so powerless and like an ant before that move.

Such power of heaven and earth makes people yearn for it and feel awe, without any jealousy at all.

Above the sea of ​​clouds, the seven sects of disciples gathered spontaneously to talk, and the sound of discussion continued. The praise, awe, and respect emanating from them were all visible.

Even Qi Hao, who was stopped at sixteenth place, was full of praise and genuine praise in his words.

That day, no one knew the feeling of insignificance better than Qi Hao.

From then on, he no longer had any resentment in his heart, and everything turned into admiration.

At the referee's table, Sect Leader Daoxuan, heads of various peaks, and elders gathered one by one. They could hear each other talking faintly, and their eyes were filled with satisfaction when they glanced at Chu Hong inadvertently.

Even Cangsong, who had once quarreled with Tian Buyi, no longer felt any dissatisfaction when looking at the young figure.

The first place in the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition had been in suspense since the moment Chu Hong was able to use the divine sword to control thunder.

Almost everyone thought so, except... Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi stood quietly on the stage, expressionless and cold as ice, looking at the gentle young man. She tightly grasped the magic weapon that had never been unsheathed - Tianya!

She, who had always been aloof, understood for the first time what it meant to be looked down upon.

The debate among the seven sects' disciples, the encouragement from their sisters, and the discussion among their masters seemed heated, but in fact they all revealed a hint of disbelief, a lack of belief that they could defeat the young man who controlled the power of heaven and earth.

Most of them talked about beauty, but no one talked about strength.

This was almost the first time in her life that she had such an experience. However, there was a slight change in her eyes, which had never been shaken, and there was a hint of surprise.

"when!"

The sound of bells and tripods was melodious, and the surroundings immediately became quiet.

Lu Xueqi straightened up and took a deep breath. As long as...she could defeat this person, she could realize her dream and meet the expectations of her mentor.

Tianya emitted a faint light, and the blue light gradually brightened, as if reflecting the owner's thoughts.

"Lu Xueqi, a disciple from Xiaozhu Peak, please teach me."

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to ask for guidance since the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition.

Resolute and decisive!
Chu Hong also put away his smile. He could see that Lu Xueqi didn't want to lose. It was precisely because she was not favored that she insisted on winning.

unfortunately
"Dazhu Peak Chu Hong, please teach me!"

Before she finished her words, Lu Xueqi gave a light shout, and the Tianya Sword emitted a blue light. A blue sword light flashed, and the blue light in the sky dissipated and converged back, as if a giant dragon sucking water and being sucked onto the sword blade that was as clear as autumn water.

The legendary Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, Tianya, which has been sealed for a thousand years, is unsheathed!
Almost at the same time, a murderous aura rose into the sky, frost appeared, and streaks of ice crystals condensed and fell like frost.

The two of them flashed at almost the same time, the light grey light almost illuminated the sky, and the blue light converged.

"despair!"

Mo Xue and Tian Ya fight each other.

Chu Hong took half a step back, and Lu Xueqi took three steps back, with a hint of tenacity in her cold expressions.

Another fierce sword strike, Chu Hong took a step back, and Lu Xueqi flew backwards.

Without waiting for the beautiful person to react, the man in green flashed and made a few more sword moves. Lu Xueqi's sword moves were exactly the same, but the true energy contained in the young man's sword moves made it difficult for her to resist, and she had to retreat again and again.

"Oh!"

With a strike of the sword, Lu Xueqi, who was blocking with Tianya, flew out, and the two of them put some distance between each other.

It can be seen that she is not very good at fighting.

There is a big gap between the two in terms of true energy.

Want to win!

We can't keep fighting like this!
Lu Xueqi glanced at Chu Hong, who seemed to be under no pressure at all. She gritted her teeth, her face turned pale, and her clothes fluttered in the wind.

After a moment, she looked up at the sky.

The wind suddenly stopped and froze in mid-air.

The world suddenly became quiet and stopped at this moment.

"Boom!"

A low and surging roar came from the sky, echoing between heaven and earth.

Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as frost. She held the sword in her hand and stepped on the seven-star position while suspended in mid-air. She took seven steps in the air and pierced the sky with her long sword. Her jade-like face was instantly bloodless and she chanted a spell:

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Blade, transformed into divine thunder. The magnificent power of heaven, guided by the sword!"

The clear blue sky turned dark. Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky and rolled continuously. Lightning flashed continuously and galloped across the sky and earth. There was a solemn and murderous atmosphere and strong winds.

"The Secret of Divine Sword Controlling Thunder!"

Taoist Master Daoxuan was shocked that two disciples of the younger generation had learned this supreme Taoist art.

The heads and elders of all the peaks were all looking at the scene, while the disciples who were watching were stepping back one after another.

That kind of magical power that draws on the power of heaven and earth is truly astonishing.

Master Shuiyue's expression was filled with worry, and he had no intention of explaining.

Chu Hong stopped attacking and waited quietly for the sword that contained the power of heaven and earth.

Draw the thunder of heaven and earth and transform it into great magical power.

At this stage, the Divine Sword's Lightning Control Technique had the greatest flaws, so he had no intention of going forward to attack.

He could see that it was quite difficult for Lu Xueqi to attract lightning. With her cultivation level of the eighth level of Yuqing, even with the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, it was not enough for her to use the magic sword to control lightning.

The secret of controlling thunder with the divine sword is the supreme magic in Taoist magic, which can trigger the might of heaven and earth with the body of a mortal.

If she were to fight, she would have Tianya in her hand, and she would even have a chance to fight against some elders of Qingyun Sect who were not good at fighting. However, if she were to attract lightning, the cultivation of true qi was crucial, but she could not reach that level. Of course, if Lu Xueqi could really attract lightning, he could also avoid it.

To attract lightning is one thing, and to hit someone with it is another.

When Lu Xueqi forced herself to use this move, she was doomed to lose.

A huge, dark, bottomless vortex hung upside down in the sky, like a demon from the underworld opening its terrifying mouth to devour everything in the world. The wind was fierce, sweeping away the remaining clouds, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed.

In the dark clouds in the sky, it was as if a raging wave was washing over Lu Xueqi's body. Although it seemed that there was no change, the blood in her body was churning and her meridians were shaking violently. She was almost broken by the power of heaven and earth.

The wind was whistling, thunder and lightning roared, she stood in the air, and in a trance she almost thought she was like a powerless grass in the wind.

"boom!"

There was a loud thunderclap, lightning and thunder raged, the sky and the earth changed color, and everyone on the top of Tongtian Peak changed their faces.

The light of the "Tianya" sword became brighter and brighter. At the moment when this incredible and peerless magic was about to be performed, Lu Xueqi's body suddenly shook. Her originally snow-white face instantly turned red. With a "wow" sound, she spurted out a large mouthful of blood, which almost turned into a blood mist in front of her.

The head of the sect, Daoxuan, was suddenly very upset. He thought that this girl's cultivation was not good enough and she might not be able to withstand the shock of the great power of heaven and earth.

The heads and elders of each sect also quickly signaled their disciples to move back. Lu Xueqi's eighth level of Yuqing cultivation was not enough to support her in completing this kind of great power of heaven and earth technique.

The light of the "Tianya" sword was shaking, showing signs of instability. Lu Xueqi gritted her teeth and held on with great effort.

In a moment, countless lightning bolts gathered into one, faintly facing the Tianya Sword in Lu Xueqi's hand.

However, Lu Xueqi felt a sense of despair in her heart.

Her true energy is empty!
Is that it?
Is this the end of it all?
Lu Xueqi stood in the wind, her clothes fluttering and her black hair blowing. She felt a little desperate, yet inexplicably calm, in her heart.

She looked at the young man, the young man who had once mastered the art of controlling lightning with the divine sword.

The young man's eyes were very gentle, and even at this point he did not show any sign of panic or avoidance.

That glance...

It makes people feel inexplicably at ease.

Unfortunately, the young man seemed to be using some magic spell to end the fight.

What mantra is he reciting?
I can't hear clearly and I don't want to listen.

Do you want to take advantage of someone's misfortune?

A green light nearly ten feet long flashed by, and Lu Xueqi was filled with despair and relief, and closed her eyes slightly.

Suddenly, she found that the tremendous pressure disappeared and everything became extremely easy.

She turned slightly, and saw a dragon of true energy blocking the vortex and her. The dragon's mouth continuously absorbed the lightning in the vortex, just enough to withstand the divine thunder.

She saw that the reassuring young man was practicing magic spells, his clothes were blowing up without wind, and the power of the divine thunder from heaven and earth blew off his hair crown, leaving his hair messy, but his calm eyes made people feel at ease.

At that moment, the young man made his choice.

It was just a moment, and yet it seemed like a very long time.

"The Nine Heavens Blue Dragon, swallowing the sky and the earth, the divine sword leads to eternity and immortality!"

She heard it, heard it clearly!
"Ow!"

The blue dragon roared, howling at the sky, fighting against the sky with the body of a mortal...

I don’t know how much time had passed, but it seemed like not much had passed.

The vortex between heaven and earth slowly disappeared. The young man smiled gently and leaned over to pick up the hair crown.

Lu Xueqi raised her head without saying a word, staring at the dark clouds gradually dissipating in the sky, stunned and speechless.

……

Tongtian Peak, outside Yuqing Palace.

Chu Hong and Zeng Shushu were chatting with smiles on their faces, with Xiao Hui smiling tenderly from time to time. Xiao Hui was holding a fruit and slowly nibbling on it on the steps. After he finished biting one, it squeaked once or twice. Chu Hong leaned over at the right time and handed him another one.

Lu Xueqi had an indifferent expression on her face, and occasionally she would inadvertently glance at the smiling Chu Hong. An unknown emotion seemed to flash across the depths of her cold eyes, but it was only a fleeting moment.

At this time, the Taoist boy came out from the main hall and said, "The headmaster and the uncles invite the three brothers and sisters to come into the hall for a talk."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Hong and Zeng Shushu looked at each other, then nodded to Lu Xueqi and strode into the hall.

In that semi-final, Lu Xueqi gave up and admitted defeat. Zhang Xiaofan and Zeng Shushu also knew each other, but the fight was not exaggerated, and Zeng Shushu won.

Chu Hong and Zeng Shushu had a battle. Zeng Shushu fought a few moves, but after feeling the pressure from the current number one young man in Qingyun, he gave up and surrendered.

As a result, Chu Hong naturally became the first in the Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition.

However, the fact that there was something wrong with Zhang Xiaofan's magic weapon could not be hidden from the top management of Qingyun.

Now that the situation has come to this, of course I have finished asking questions.

As soon as they walked in, they saw Zhang Xiaofan, who was sweating profusely.

Chu Hong walked up to him and patted his shoulder, smiling gently but not saying much.

Daoxuan looked at the people who came in, focused his gaze on Chu Hong, and nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately after some praise, Daoxuan started talking about Kongsang Mountain.

After explaining the events of the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats one by one, Daoxuan said solemnly: "This is a serious matter, and Luoxia Peak's Tianyun Zhenren and Luoyun Zhenren will join us in defeating demons and defending the Way.

However, this is a training for you youngsters, so you should go ahead. Tianyun Zhenren and Luoyun Zhenren will meet you at Kongsang Mountain. The demons of the Demon Cult are treacherous and vicious, so you should all be careful. "

True Man Tianyun, um... the weakest of the Seven Sect Leaders, but he is also a top-notch expert in the world. True Man Luoyun is Tianyun’s junior brother, who is also in the Upper Purity Realm.

The four of them responded in unison, all displaying the demeanor of the younger generation of Qingyun.

Taoist Master Daoxuan took a close look at the four younger disciples, and his satisfied gaze fell on Chu Hong. He waved and said, "Chu Hong, come here."

Chu Hong was well prepared and stepped forward immediately. His every move was dignified, yet steady.

Taoist Master Daoxuan nodded slightly, turned to look at Tian Buyi, and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Tian, ​​Dazhu Peak has a successor!"

Speaking of this, Tian Buyi was not tired at all. In this Seven Clans Martial Arts Competition, Dazhu Peak occupied two positions in the top four, and he was in the limelight, venting all the grievances he had felt over the years.

Tian Buyi couldn't hide the joy on his face at all, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother!"

Taoist Master Daoxuan nodded and smiled slightly, then took out a small mirror from his arms and handed it to Chu Hong, "Take it."

Chu Hong took it with a smile and bowed slightly, "Thank you, Master."

Taoist Master Daoxuan smiled and said, "No need to be polite."

Chu Hong took a close look at the quadrangle mirror. It was of an ancient shape with a bronze rim, a dragon engraved on the top and a tiger engraved on the bottom. However, the lens in the middle was not an ordinary bronze mirror. It was yellowish and could not be seen clearly.

Well... there is no aura of awesome treasures, only the simplicity of time.

Daoxuan looked at the few people, including the heads of the various peaks, and said, "All of you, get out!
When Chu Hong learned the secret, Lu Xueqi and the other two came out, and Tian Buyi was also waiting.

Chu Hong knew that his master had something to tell him, so he stepped forward immediately.

Tian Buyi looked at his proud disciple and smiled generously, "Seventh Brother, you have always been smart, but I have nothing to say. However, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood to burn."

The implication is, of course, that saving your life is the most important thing.

"Do you understand?"

"understood!"

Chu Hong nodded repeatedly, feeling somewhat relieved.

Tian Buyi smiled with satisfaction, patted Chu Hong on the shoulder, and flew away on his sword.

When Tian Buyi left, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Hong, even Lu Xueqi.

When Chu Hong asked about the situation of several people, he immediately knew that they all had instructions from their teacher, but they had some doubts about where to go.

Zhang Xiaofan had never thought about leaving so early, so he didn't prepare any greetings.

"Xiao Fan, it's okay. My eldest brother is the Lord of Heyang City. You can just ask him for whatever you need when the time comes."

"Let's go to Heyang!"

Chu Hong immediately made the final decision.

As he spoke, Chu Hong rolled up his robe, put Xiao Hui on his shoulders, and strode forward.

Zhang Xiaofan and Zeng Shushu stepped forward immediately without any objection.

Lu Xueqi didn't say anything, just followed quietly.

The Yuqing Palace is on the top of the mountain, and only the chief of the seven sects is allowed to fly with a sword.

When they reached the sea of ​​clouds, they flew on their swords and headed straight for Heyang.
