A life of clearness

Chapter 412 The Hardest to Find
The female cultivator in white walked on the mountain path, her steps were calm, like a noble lady on a spring outing. As she walked step by step, the end of the mountain path was also quietly changing. However, no matter how the end of the mountain path changed, she always got to the right path before it changed. So... she was getting closer and closer to her goal.

This made Chang Yue, who was in charge of the sect's important area, very confused.

"I didn't arrange that monument." He whispered to himself.

He instantly detected the abnormal situation. It was not the sword monument calling out to Yu Rong, but Yu Rong forcing his way towards the sword monument.

But Yu Rong managed to succeed, very smoothly and without any effort.

"It seems like you have some secret experiences." Chang Yue then chuckled, "Yes, to be able to jump from the mother realm to become a direct descendant of a top sect, how could it be possible without some experiences before."

And now, this situation is somewhat related to the sword monument.

Chang Yue focused most of his attention on Rong Qing. He wanted to see what Yu Rong would do when he arrived in front of the sword monument and what kind of fortune he would get.

……

"Return to the sister's position, take three steps in a row."

"Wuwangwei, take ten steps in a row."

With the world's best voice navigation in her ears, Rong Qing just had to follow the navigation.

As I walked, I marveled at the complicated location of this sword monument.

It was common to take a few steps forward and then a few steps back. Sometimes, he would walk straight out of the mountain path and fall into the fog, but with just a few instructions from Tianxia No.1, Rong Qing would find another path and walk out easily.

"…We've reached the summit." Rong Qing exhaled, and a cloud of white mist quickly appeared.

"Here we are," he sighed.

This mountain looks inconspicuous from the outside, but it is actually extremely huge. Even though Rong Qing climbed to the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain was as open as a huge square, and the terrain was surprisingly flat, without even any rugged rocks.

The ground was extremely flat, with no grass growing on it. Then there was something that stood out.

The female cultivator in white could cover nearly a hundred feet in one step, and in just a few breaths she had reached a tombstone.

Yes, tombstone.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Xueyu rests here forever... Do not disturb her if you are heartless."

This font is very ancient, but what is even more surprising is the words left on the tombstone.

She thought: This senior who left a message is really interesting. I wonder what his relationship is with Xueyu? Or is this senior who left a message exactly Xueyu?
"He can say that."

The tone of No. 1 in the World was full of nostalgia.

"Is this the old friend that Master mentioned?"

Since he was an old friend of the master, Rong Qing stepped forward and knelt respectfully. After all, the number one in the world could not show up now.

"Well... when I was still in the Spiritualization Stage, he was already a famous monk who dominated Luotian. I received his guidance and later became good friends with him."

"...In fact, his original Taoist name was not Xueyu. The name Xueyu belonged to a woman, a woman he loved."

Huh? Rong Qing realized that she had been wrong all along. She had thought that Senior Xueyu was a powerful female cultivator. She even lost her mind for a moment and thought about the past between her master and Senior Xueyu.

As it turned out, she had completely missed the point.

"This senior Xueyu must have loved that woman very much, so he changed his Taoist name to that woman's name."

But Rong Qing still felt it was strange. How could someone steal someone else's name and use it as his own Taoist name? As if he understood Rong Qing's thoughts, Number One Under Heaven explained calmly, "Because that woman died a long time ago. My old friend tried many ways but failed to revive his beloved. After that, I saw that he had some time to be a Taoist... Sure enough, not long after, he changed his Taoist name to Xueyu. This change either erased or changed all traces of his past. From then on, no one in this world knew what his original Taoist name was. They only knew that he was Xueyu."

Rong Qing sighed, "How romantic." She didn't expect the number one in the world to understand what romance meant, but instead asked, "Master, do you still remember his original Taoist name?"

Who would have thought that the number one in the world would say, "I don't remember."

"How is this possible?!" Rong Qing didn't believe it: "Aren't you two close friends regardless of age difference? Master, you even know this secret, so it's okay for those who came later, but how could you not remember it?"

"Why would I be able to remember it?" Number One Under Heaven asked Rong Qing, "Do you know how much he paid to change his Taoist name? He succeeded despite paying such a huge price - so successful that even a good friend like me can't remember what his Taoist name was in the past."

"You don't have a Taoist name yet. I remind you that you must think of one carefully! Your Taoist name is the name you announce to the heavens and earth. If you want to change it, it's almost the same as self-destruction."

Tianxia No.1's warning was very serious. In fact, ever since he came to this tombstone, he had lost all his usual nonchalance.

Rong Qing was silent, seemingly trying to digest the warning from the number one in the world.

She suddenly asked, "What on earth prompted him to change his Taoist name?"

Is it just for commemoration?

“I’m not a worm in his stomach, how would I know!” Number One Under Heaven said faintly, “I heard from people that after he changed his Taoist name, he became half crazy, and then… he died. This is the tombstone he built for himself. There should be more than one tombstone in Donglin Sect, so you can see it here as well.”

"Donglin Sect?" Rong Qing keenly caught the unfamiliar words in his words.

"It is an ancient and huge sect that has existed much longer than mine. There are countless geniuses among its disciples. Look at all the sword monuments here, and Xueyu is just one of them. You can tell how many powerful cultivators Donglin Sect has produced!"

"What is the relationship between Donglin Sword Sect and Donglin Sect?" Rong Qing was slightly stunned: "Could it be that Donglin Sword Sect is a branch of Donglin Sect placed in Qinghang Realm?"

"That should be the case." Number One Under Heaven said slowly, "I originally thought it was a coincidence, but when I saw the Luan Heng Sword Monument, I knew it was not a coincidence. Although I have never seen Luan Heng in person, I have heard of him during the Realm War. He is from the Donglin Sect. So the Donglin Sword Sect must have the support of the Donglin Sect for having his sword monument."

"So, Senior Xueyu is also from the Donglin Sect?"

"Always."

This also explains why the number one in the world would, contrary to his usual behavior, stretch out his spiritual sense.

In order to find the existence of this old friend, even if it is just the sword monument.

What Rong Qing didn't know was that it took almost all of Tian Xia's strength for him to do this without anyone noticing while the mountain was under complete control.

Fortunately, he found it.

"Okay, I've seen it all." The determination of the world's number one was so strong that his sadness was only for a moment. "Come and take a good look, is it possible to comprehend a little bit of the origin of the Tao?"

Although it is in the form of a tombstone, it is still a sword monument. The most difficult sword monument to find in this mountain.

Rong Qing was already accustomed to the ever-changing appearances of the Dao Monument, so she didn't find it surprising.

"What origin of Tao is hidden here?"

Too unfamiliar.

It's normal to feel unfamiliar with it. There are so many virtual origins and real origins that Rong Qing can't have seen them all.

"The origin of space." Number One Under Heaven whispered.
