Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 166 Let's have a swordsmanship contest where I either want to kill you all or be killed by you all.

"Alright, how about I get you a sword from the Famous Sword Manor too?" Wang Yixing said somewhat helplessly.

"Swords are divided into four grades. The first grade is High Mountain, which means standing tall in the world and being admired by all. It is a high mountain that ordinary swords cannot reach. The second grade is Vast Ocean, which means boundless and endless, with all rivers flowing into the sea. It takes to forge one hundred High Mountain swords to obtain one Vast Ocean sword."

"The third grade, Cloud Heaven, means that above the vast sea and mulberry fields, there are also nine heavens soaring into the clouds. It is a place that looks down on all things and is one in ten thousand."

"The fourth-grade Immortal Palace is the true sword from beyond the heavens, hidden in the Immortal Palace above the Nine Heavens."

“The Nine-Nine Profound Sun was originally a fourth-grade immortal palace sword. After being reforged, it fell from the heavens. If you want a sword as a birthday gift, I will risk my life to get you an immortal palace sword.”

The young Taoist priest in the green robe shook his head and said:

"Senior brother, you've gone too far. You know I don't like swords, yet you still say that. Are you sure I won't accept this kind of birthday gift?"

Wang Yihang smiled and said:

"It's clearly you, the junior brother, who can't bear to see me, the senior brother, risk my life for an inanimate object."

“Indeed, though I am young, I can understand your difficulties, senior brother.” The young Taoist in the green robe smiled slightly.

"How about this, the point of giving a birthday gift is to make the person celebrating their birthday genuinely happy. As long as you, Senior Brother, stay silent when you arrive at Famous Sword Manor and give me some peace and quiet, that will be enough to give me a birthday gift that suits my taste."

"Is it really that simple?" Wang Yihang asked suspiciously.

"I swear in the name of the Three Pure Ones, it's that simple, but I don't know if you can do it, Senior Brother." Zhuang Buran seemed skeptical.

"I'm not a chatterbox, senior brother," Wang Yihang said confidently.
"Let the Three Pure Ones keep a close eye on things. It's just a matter of being mute; what's so difficult about that?"

The young Taoist priest in the green robe said unhurriedly:
"If you fail to do so, you don't need to prepare any birthday gifts for me in the future. From now on, you can call me senior brother and I will call you junior brother. I will prepare your birthday gifts."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yihang had a bad feeling.

Zhuang Buran squinted and said:

"Senior brother, the Three Pure Ones are watching now. You wouldn't be thinking of going back on your word, would you?"

Wang Yihang felt increasingly uneasy, but still forced himself to speak:

"Regret what? I've never learned how to write the word 'regret' in my entire life."

"good!"

The young Taoist priest in the green robe clapped his hands.

The next day.

As the two approached the Famous Sword Manor, they saw that the road was becoming increasingly lively, with people from all walks of life, such as lone swordsmen and noble young masters, as well as people from various martial arts sects.

"Senior brother, we're almost at Famous Sword Manor. Here are two talismans for you." Zhuang Buran took out two folded talismans from his robes.

“Really, junior brother, I am your own senior brother.”

Looking at the two triangular talismans in the hands of the young Taoist priest in the green robe, Wang Yihang couldn't help but speak with a hint of trepidation.

"Place these two talismans in a place where you don't feel they'll get in the way, and you'll understand."

Wang Yixing, suspiciously, took the talisman, stuck it inside his Taoist robe, and suddenly spoke:
"Junior brother, is that you?"

He suddenly looked at Zhuang Buran:

"A talisman that can transmit sound over a thousand miles, a talisman that can see people from a thousand miles away—you really did realize the Taoist magic you had conceived before, thanks to Junior Brother Yuzhen!"

"I can only say one thing: you truly are a reincarnated immortal," Zhuang Buran said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yihang reacted as if he had discovered a novel toy. He kept using the Mind-Illuminating Talisman to chat with Zhao Yuzhen, who was far away in Wangcheng Mountain, and even asked about the Radiant Talisman on his body, asking how far away he could see around him.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Wang Yihang, engrossed in his conversation with Zhao Yuzhen, heard a voice with a hint of amusement:
"Senior brother, we've arrived. Remember to keep quiet, or I'll become Lü Suzhen's top disciple."

Immediately, Wang Yixing looked up and saw a mountain of swords stuck in the ground. He explained a few words to Zhao Yuzhen and then fell completely silent.

At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe with the words "Poison You" written in large characters on the back explained to a dashing, unrestrained, and carefree young man beside him, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist:

"Sixty years ago, Mingjian Villa also produced a sword immortal named Wei Changshu, who roamed the world and was hard to beat."

"Before he died at the hands of the Kunlun Sword Immortal's twin swords of cold and warmth, he always granted the requests of those who came to him to ask for swordsmanship advice, without harming their lives, only asking them to leave behind their swords."

"Over the course of more than ten years, the swords left behind by those who sought the sword filled half of the mountain. After Wei Changshu died, to mourn this sword immortal, swordsmen would often travel thousands of miles to place their swords on the mountain as if they were incense sticks, thus transforming into the sword mountain you see today."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhuang Buran looked over and saw the two people clearly. Using his ability to sense destiny and his ability to read minds, he knew that the newcomers were the chosen one of this era and his uncle.

The former is the only grandson of Marquis Baili Luochen of Zhenxi, the young master of the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion, and the future Grand Master of Snow Moon City, the Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun.

The latter is Wenhu Wine, whose mastery of poisons is considered the greatest genius in the Wen family in three hundred years, and who is known as the "Poison Bodhisattva".

Since Zhuang Buran descended upon this world, he has foreseen the course of fate. The story begins with Baili Dongjun, who was unruly from a young age, disliked poetry and books, military strategy, and martial arts, but had a particular fondness for brewing wine, all because of a promise he made with his childhood friend Ye Yun to become a wine immortal.

However, there are two methods to reach the Vajra Mortal Realm: martial arts cultivation and medicine cultivation. Martial arts cultivation involves building a Vajra physique layer by layer through martial arts practice.

Medicine cultivators, on the other hand, cultivate their realm through elixirs, and this method is commonly used by disciples of powerful families and clans in the martial arts world.

When Zhenxi Hou Baili Luochen conquered Xichu, he saved the famous Confucian immortal Gu Chen. By a twist of fate, Baili Dongjun became his apprentice and learned the art of brewing wine. Later, without his knowledge, he drank medicinal wine for many years and ascended to the Vajra Mortal Realm.

Before truly mastering it, and only when unconscious and drunk, can one reveal the strength of the Vajra Mortal Realm.

It was during this incident at the Famous Sword Manor that the news that their master was still alive was unexpectedly revealed.

Which of the Northern Li people doesn't covet the martial arts and medicine-making skills of the Confucian immortal Gu Chen?

The so-called "medicine man technique" is to make people tireless, feel no pain after being injured, and only attack more brutally, thus enabling them to fight against a hundred people on the battlefield.

During the war between the Northern Li and Western Chu states, he used the art of medicine to hold off an army of 300,000 for three months.

Once the news was exposed, it naturally shocked the Northern Li court and the martial arts world, and also brought about a deadly disaster.

As a result, Baili Dongjun grew up and went to Tianqi City to become a disciple of Li Changsheng, the number one martial artist in the world, and began to truly learn martial arts.

Later, he recognized Ye Yun, who had changed his name to Ye Dingzhi. At that time, the remnants of the Northern Que of Tianwaitian were still determined to restore their country.

Beique was originally a small border country that loved martial arts. The current emperor, Yue Fengcheng, inherited the unparalleled martial arts of the Yue royal family and became the most skilled emperor in Beique in the past hundred years.

Because of his lofty ambitions and his unwillingness to be the emperor of a small border state, he secretly allied with Western Chu and launched a war against Northern Li.

The result was the destruction of his country and his retreat to the far north. Undeterred, he attempted to cultivate his martial arts in seclusion until he achieved mastery, thus gaining the opportunity to restore his kingdom.

However, due to his seclusion for many years and the uncertainty of his fate, many of his subordinates and his daughter could no longer wait.

In addition, Yuefeng City set up a restriction mechanism to prevent anyone from disturbing his seclusion. Only those who cultivate the "Virtual Thought Technique" like him can open the restriction mechanism.

However, to cultivate the "Virtual Mind Technique," one must possess an innate martial vein.
The people of Tianwaitian wanted to find a person with a natural martial vein, open the restriction mechanism, and force Yuefeng City to leave seclusion. They discovered that Baili Dongjun had a natural martial vein, but unfortunately, because of his illustrious family background and his apprenticeship under the world's number one master, Li Changsheng, they were unable to take him to Tianwaitian.

It just so happens that Ye Dingzhi is also born with a martial vein. Through a series of means, he eventually makes Ye Dingzhi, who originally had a grudge against the Beili royal family, want to destroy Beili.

Finally, relying on their own strength, they transformed the thirty-six sects of Tianwaitian into demonic cults in the eyes of the world and launched a war to punish Beili.

Baili Dongjun led a group of heroes from all over the world to resist, aiming to save the common people and his friend.

As a result, Ye Dingzhi, unwilling to implicate Baili Dongjun and not wanting him to be disgraced and condemned by everyone for saving him, the great demon, committed suicide.

Getting back to the main point, Sword Mountain wasn't particularly high. After taking out their visiting cards, they walked for only half an hour before entering the Famous Sword Manor with the young Taoist priest in green robes.

The large courtyard was already filled with tables of wine, where people were drinking and chatting in small groups. In the center stood a high platform, clearly a place for swordsmen to duel.

Based on the reputation of Wangcheng Mountain, the two, led by a sword attendant, sat at a table on the second floor, where they could better enjoy the view from the high platform.

Wen Hujiu, without relying on the Wen family's reputation, relied solely on his own name as the "Poison Bodhisattva" to sit at the top table on the second floor with his nephew, Baili Dongjun, despite the daunting looks from others.

Zhuang Buran and Wang Yihang were at the next table when they heard Wenhu say:
"The sword wine from Mingjian Manor is sharp and incomparably piercing, just like a sword. Its taste is no less than yours, but it is exceptionally fierce. You will get drunk if you drink too much of it."

Immediately, a gentle, melodious, and moving zither melody began, signaling the start of the sword-testing tournament.

First, a group of swordsmen competed for thirty famous swords of high quality from the mountains. In the sword duels that ended with a point, the thirty famous swords were given sword masters.

At this moment, Wang Yixing drank the sword wine with a restless mind, feeling that his junior brother sitting next to him was up to no good.

Once the ten Canghai Swords had their masters, the competition for the three Yuntian Swords began. When a woman in red planted a fiery red sword on the stage, it instantly warmed the hearts of everyone around.

"The second sword of the Cloud Rank, the Fire God Sword, please come and claim it!" After saying this, the woman in red leaped down from the stage.

Even though the sword once carried by the Kunlun Sword Immortal has fallen from the Immortal Palace to the Cloud Rank, it is still a sword that countless swordsmen yearn for.

Immediately, three swordsmen who were quite confident in their abilities leaped into the air.

“Senior brother, it’s your turn to make your appearance,” Zhuang Buran said with a smile, glancing sideways.

As Wang Yixing steadied himself and rose, a youthful voice echoed throughout the courtyard.

“My senior brother is Wang Yixing, the eldest disciple of Lü Suzhen, the head of Wangcheng Mountain. He has come here to retrieve the sword.”

"The king is the king among swordsmen, the first is the best in the world, and the action is the action that I can do and you can't."

"Everyone, besides wanting to obtain the Fire God Sword today, my senior brother also wants to spar with top experts."

"Let's have a swordsmanship contest where either I want to kill you all, or be killed by you all."

Immediately, Wang Yixing, who had landed on the high platform, staggered and almost fell to the ground.
