Chapter 291 Yang Huai Returns the Sword
When Taoist Zhou Tian heard this, he immediately knew that he might not be able to escape today.

He couldn't tell whether Yang Huai wanted to take personal revenge or Dao Ningzi, his old rival, was interfering.

However, he knew that once he left, no one would be able to stop the Nine Heavens Righteousness from sweeping across the Divine Land Righteousness.

He glanced at Yang Huai and spoke after a moment.

"Well, in that case, I am willing to surrender myself to the reincarnation world and settle the past feud with Brother Yang!"

Yang Huai had an indifferent expression and ignored it.

After saying this, he turned his gaze towards the many disciples and spoke softly.

"This is the grudge between me and Emperor Taibai in the past. After I am freed from the battlefield, the cause and effect are gone. Disciples must not bear it in mind and continue to entangle with it, or cause trouble. Those who violate this will be expelled from the sect and are not allowed to call themselves my disciples anymore!"

After saying that, he handed a jade box in his hand directly to Chi Zhenzi. The soul that was almost a golden immortal flew out from his head, but was caught by Yang Huai in an instant. Deep in his palm, the divine light of life and death cycle emerged, which instantly transformed all his Taoist knowledge, and his soul drifted into the underworld.

"What are you doing? Are you not trustworthy?"

Seeing this sudden scene, the other Taoists reacted. Their faces were furious and magic weapons appeared around them, but they only saw a vast nine-colored fairy light breaking through the air, suppressing dozens of figures one after another. The vast and magnificent aura broke through the air, and dozens of people seemed to fall into the deep origin of the great Dao of heaven and earth. Their Taoism, magic power, and even their souls and consciousness were a little sluggish and unable to move.

Yang Huai looked at everyone.

"You think that this will resolve the cause and effect!"

The body of the Venerable Zi Yang was emitting pure yang light, and there was a hint of fierceness in the depths of his eyes.

"Emperor Taibai, what else do you want? Are you going to go back on your word?"

The other Taoists also had their eyes bloodshot, with some shock and anger in the depths of their eyes.

Yang Huai glanced at everyone and then said.

"Who promised you what? Yes, the grudge between me and Master Zhou Tian is indeed a personal one, but the matter with you is related to the overall situation of the Nine Heavens Righteousness for a thousand years!"

Yang Huai looked calm, then said.

"Considering that we are all from the righteous path of the Nine Heavens, and that you have no blood debts on your hands, you should choose a day to ascend to heaven!"

After saying this, Yang Huai ignored everyone's expressions, raised his hand and swept the sword in his hand, cutting off most of the lotus flowers in the pond in Baolian Palace, leaving only three. Without waiting for the other Taoists to express their opinions, he spoke again.

"Don't blame me for not remembering our friendship. There are still three lotus flowers left in the pond. As for the others, I'll give you ten years. If you exceed the time limit, don't blame me for being cruel!"

After saying this, Yang Huai ignored the changing expressions of the many Taoists from the Wulian Tianxin Sect in the field. He stepped on the fallen flags on the ground with the breeze and the colorful banners and slowly went down the Wulian Peak.

The immortals watched the master and disciple walk down the stairs, each with an expression of extreme anger and helplessness on their faces.

Finally, someone couldn't help but feel aggrieved and shouted angrily.

“Emperor Taibai, do you really think that without our Wulian Tianxin Sect, your Chunyuan Sect can cover the sky with one hand? You will not succeed. The yin and yang of heaven and earth are constantly rotating. Your Chunyuan Sect will eventually decline. The separation and reunion of heaven and earth is the right path!”

In the hazy mist, two figures, one in blue and one in white, disappeared into the distance. Only the unwilling voice remained in the mist.

On the way, Taoist Qingfeng looked at Yang Huai and asked.

“Master, I feel that what Taoist Wan Lei said is not entirely unreasonable. The world is in a state of division and reunion. Master, you do not need to bear such consequences for the sect. If you force them to ascend today, they will ascend to the heavens in the future. The ancestors behind these sects will probably make trouble for you!”

Hearing this, Yang Huai smiled, patted his shoulder gently and said with a smile.

"You don't understand. What I did today was indeed for the sect, but also for myself!"

Qingfeng was a little confused. He could understand that it was for the sake of the sect. After all, after suppressing the Wulian Tianxin Sect, the Chunyuan Sect had removed one more obstacle in its quest to unify the righteous ways of China, and it also avoided the risk of being taken advantage of by others. But what good would it do for his master?
Yang Huai looked forward and said softly.

"This is probably the few things I can do for the sentient beings of Shenzhou. I was nurtured by Qingfu Shenzhou, and I have nothing else to repay Shenzhou. The only thing I can do is to eliminate all the demons, restrain the practitioners of heaven and earth from committing less killing, and let the sentient beings of heaven and earth have a hundred years to recuperate. As for the criticism from the ancestors behind them, I will bear it all by myself. At most, we can decide who is better with the sword in my hand!"

Of course, he intended to take this opportunity to sever some of the karmic consequences of his origin.

After all, the realm after Taiyi is Daluo. If one wants to transcend the world, one must naturally resolve the cause and effect in one's life.

Qingfeng didn't understand all this, but he knew he couldn't persuade Yang Huai, so he just sighed slightly.

After leaving Wulian Tianxin Sect, Yang Huai did not visit other large sects of Jiutian Zhengdao one by one as many immortals wished. Instead, he came to many hidden Taoist sects and visited them one by one.

Many immortals gradually guessed that everything Emperor Taibai did was probably for the sake of unifying the righteousness of Shenzhou with the Jiutian Sect, and that he dealt with the Wulian Tianxin Sect only because it posed the greatest threat to the Chunyuan Sect.

With such speculation, many of the Nine Heavens Righteous Sects immediately breathed a sigh of relief. This was a very good thing for many masters of the Nine Heavens Righteous Sect.

It was not until several years later that he returned to Tianjin Cave on Taibai Peak.

But the next ten years suddenly became the peak period for many scattered immortals and hidden masters in Qingfu Shenzhou to ascend to heaven. The number of immortals who ascended to heaven in Qingfu Shenzhou in thousands of years had not been as large as in the past ten years. Regardless of whether they were living Golden Immortals or Yangshen Heavenly Immortals who had already achieved perfection in Taoism, the inferior ones would also ascend to heaven through corpse transformation.

This couldn't help but make many monks from different sects sigh.

Many sects are angry about this but dare not speak out.

All eyes in the world seemed to fall on Chunyuan Sect.

In the Longmen Mountain Immortal Palace, the elders were also discussing. One of the Taoists glanced at the people at the head and spoke.

"Master, the Emperor's sweep of Qingfu Shenzhou is certainly a good thing, but it also has a significant impact on our Chunyuan Sect. Now our Chunyuan Sect has almost become the target of public criticism. If we can't let our disciples seize this opportunity, there may be twists and turns in the future!"

The one who spoke was Taoist Ku from Baiku Cave.

There was a hint of worry on his face, and behind him were several disciples. The disciple headed by Yan Yingye had already cultivated his primordial spirit and his Taoism skills were not bad.

Fang Ge, who was standing beside Master Jiufang, said with a smile.

"Uncle Ku is right. However, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. In recent years, many talented people have emerged in the sect. On the top is Emperor Taibai, who is rare in thousands of years. Below are Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Yue, Senior Sister Cheng, Junior Brother Qingfeng, Junior Brother Yun, and the five little sword immortals. With so many stars gathered together, our Chunyuan Sect will surely prosper for ten thousand years!"

Master Jiufang was dressed in a white cloud robe and just drank tea. In recent years, she has rarely participated in the sect's mundane affairs. She has delivered what Baiyun Mountain could deliver to Fang Ge and other direct disciples, and has made preparations for her ascension.

On the other side, Cheng Muxian smiled slightly.

“Junior Brother Fang, don’t forget about yourself. Your name as the Chonghua Sword Immortal is already well-known throughout China, no less than that of Uncle Zhao back then!” She was referring to Zhao Zhenwu, who had been in seclusion in recent years, also preparing to comprehend the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

Seeing that these youngsters were more arrogant than each other, Taoist Ku shook his head secretly and did not say much.

He no longer understands this world.

These young people are growing up too fast.

Li Yingmei formally sat on the main seat. At this time, he had a lotus Taoist temple on his head and was wearing a red and blue robe. His face could not hide his sharpness. He smiled when he heard the words.

"My fellow uncles, sisters, and brothers, the topic we are discussing today is how to deal with the major sects of Zixiao Zhengdao!"

Hearing his words, all the Taoists stopped talking and looked at Li Yingmei. Li Yingmei said naturally.

"The world's fate now depends on my Nine Heavens Righteous Dao. All the sects have either closed their gates or refused visitors. The remaining people are also in a panic. This opportunity cannot be missed!"

"My uncles and I have suggested that we should have a good talk with some of the Purple Sky Orthodox Sects to determine the general trend of development for the next thousand years!"

Hearing this, the Taoists nodded slightly.

We should seize the opportunity to get this done while Emperor Taibai is sweeping away all the evil in the world.

Only in this way can we live up to Emperor Taibai's mission of sweeping the world!
If we wait until this storm passes, everything may become complicated again.

There will never be such an opportunity again.

After all, now all the well-known demons in China, including some unorthodox ones who committed murderous acts, have been almost wiped out.

Everyone can be sure that the evil way, or many unorthodox ways, may have been wiped out by a generation.

Fang Ge's eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he volunteered.

"Brother Li, I will do this for you. I think my cultivation aptitude may not be as good as that of you brothers and sisters, but I still have some eloquence, so I should be able to accomplish this great task for you!"

If he could subdue the Zixiao righteous path and unify the righteous path of Shenzhou, this would also be a huge external achievement, and Fang Ge naturally would not want to miss it.

Afterwards, Cheng Muxian, Yue Hanxian, and several other younger Taoists also volunteered.

In the back, many elders couldn't help but nod secretly as they watched this scene.

The next generation of elders in Chunyuan Sect have become established and are gradually able to take charge of their own affairs.

They may not be as good as the junior apprentice brother Yang of Emperor Taibai, but they are also good enough to become the face of the Taoist school.

……

Taibai Peak, Tianjin Cave.

Yang Huai looked at the Jun Ting ancient sword in his hand, with a hint of sigh in the depths of his eyes.

It can be said that this Jun Ting has been with him since he entered Chunyuan Sect. It has experienced many battles, big and small, defeated many powerful monsters, and helped him overcome many difficulties.

Now it is time to return this item to its original owner.

Yang Huaineng calculated that the Liyang Sword Immortal had reincarnated and returned, and had entered the Chunyuan Sect to embark on the path of cultivation.

Buzzing, as if the ancient sword had sensed Yang Huai’s thoughts, it made a clear sound, as if it was reluctant to let go!

Yang Huai's eyes moved slightly, and he gently stroked the blade of the ancient sword with his eyes, and smiled.

"Our fate has ended. Now that your old master has returned, you should follow him again and help him get back on track. Only in this way can you have a complete beginning and an end!"

He raised his hand and let go of the Junting ancient sword.

I saw the ancient sword floating in the air, unwilling to leave.

Yang Huai raised his hand and threw it into the depths of the void, where it disappeared.

Looking at this scene, Yang Huai's expression remained unchanged.

Jiang Rongyue had said back then that he hoped he would take over the sword and carry on the old master's ambition to wipe out all evil and cleanse the universe. Today, he has fulfilled the cause and effect. In addition, the Liyang Sword Immortal has reincarnated and returned, so Yang Huai cannot continue to occupy this ancient sword.

Of course, there is another reason.

As his Taoism grew, Jun Ting could no longer help him, and he needed to forge a divine sword that belonged to him.

"It's a pity that the ancient sword that matches my destiny has never been found, otherwise it wouldn't be so troublesome..."

Yang Huai pondered in his heart.

He broke through several times, and each time he showed the vision of ten thousand swords returning to their origin, that magic sword was extremely powerful.

However, since he had decided to refine a magical sword of his own, he no longer cared about it.

And in the back mountain of Taibai Peak.

At this time, a handsome young man in green clothes was swinging an axe and chopping wood in the mountains.

The boy was about eleven or twelve years old, wearing coarse linen clothes, and it was obvious that he was from a farming family.

He is a Taoist boy who just joined Taibai Taoist Temple this year.

Every Taoist boy who goes into the mountains to practice Taoism must first strengthen his muscles and bones and build a foundation for a hundred days, so they will have many chores to do, such as chopping wood and fetching water, or quarrying stones and carving, in order to sharpen their muscles and bones and remove the impetuous spirit deep in their hearts.

This handsome disciple in green was assigned to chop wood and fetch water. He was still mumbling something at this time, as if he was not full. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he saw a big tree fall down and split the stump. In the middle of the stump, a cyan-gold ancient sword with a sheath appeared, which looked quite magical.

He took a step forward and took out the ancient sword as if possessed by a spirit. He touched it lightly and felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart. He couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
