The world of martial arts, the immortal swordsman in the mortal realm.

Chapter 217, page 232: The True Form of the Immortal Execution Sword! Let's establish a sect!

I wonder if he has refined too much of the killing energy.

In a certain instant, Lu Chen, who was still cultivating, suddenly found his consciousness inexplicably transported to the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness, before the "Sword Intent of Immortal Slaughter" that resembled a blazing sun.

Subsequently.

The sword intent of Zhuxian trembled slightly, and a dazzling sword light flew out, giving people the ultimate sense of killing and the most complete sense of ending. It carried Lu Chen's consciousness and continued to climb higher.

It was a mysterious feeling that was hard to describe, as if one's consciousness was "ascending".

As his consciousness rose higher and higher, it first floated out of his body and "saw" himself sitting cross-legged on the imperial couch, and Wanwan sleeping soundly curled up beside him.

Then, he floated out of the top of Feishuang Palace and saw Li Xiuning practicing with Dugu Feng in the rain outside the palace.

Under the influence of the sword light, the consciousness and vision were not even obstructed by the buildings. They could see Shi Feixuan meditating and comprehending the sword spirit imprint in another room of the Flying Frost Palace, as well as Lian Rou doing various difficult yoga poses to improve her flexibility.

As consciousness continued to rise, the entire Lishan Palace gradually came into full view.

The palace was not deserted; many palace maids still lived there.

Some palace maids were mending their clothes, some were cleaning and tidying their rooms, some were having a late-night snack, some were drinking and chatting, and some were playing chess, pitch-pot, or playing cards.

The palace now belongs to Lu Chen, so the rules are no longer as strict as those in the royal palace. Besides, even in the royal palace, when not on duty, the palace maids can rest and relax in their own small living spaces, let alone here.

Several palace maids of varying ages were practicing martial arts in their respective rooms, their skills rudimentary but they appeared to be practicing very seriously.

Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but ponder.

Although these palace maids were nominally still under the personal jurisdiction of the palace, and even their monthly wages were paid by the Tang emperor's court, they were essentially his subordinates.

Since he's one of his subordinates and likes martial arts, perhaps it's worth training him? After all, such a large palace always needs some security personnel.

Having martial arts skills can make routine maintenance and cleaning work more efficient.

Tomorrow, I'll have Li Xiuning do a survey. Those who are willing to learn martial arts will be taught some basic skills first. If their character and perseverance are up to par, they will be formally trained.

While pondering.

Awareness and vision continue to expand.

Gradually, even Chang'an City came into view.

The ascent accelerated, and just when Lu Chen thought he was about to see the entire Central Plains and even the whole of East Asia, his vision suddenly flashed, as if he had jumped into a strange dimension, and all sorts of bizarre and wonderful scenes appeared in his field of vision.

What attracted his attention most was a palace that floated in the illusion, yet was extremely real.

The palace was magnificent and enormous, as if it had been built for giants. Beside it was a large lake, which was full of strange and wonderful creatures, including a monster with green hair that looked exactly like the legendary dragon prince "Baxia".

Upon seeing the monster, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of the "Temple of the God of War".

The guardian beast of the Temple of War seems to be a demonic dragon that looks very much like Baxia.

That magnificent palace, drifting in the illusion following a certain predetermined trajectory, could it be the Temple of the God of War?
Unfortunately, it was only a fleeting glimpse before the palace, which resembled the Temple of the God of War, vanished amidst a series of bizarre and fantastical illusions.

This brief glimpse was not enough for Lu Chen to discern its drifting trajectory, calculate the time and location of its next appearance in the mortal world, let alone allow him to see the "War God's Record" inside the War God Temple.

But Lu Chen felt that this should be a sign.

Now that he's seen it, we might meet again someday.

The sword light, carrying consciousness, continued to "ascend" amidst a variety of bizarre and fantastical illusions.

Lu Chen saw a giant golden crow forging a sun.

I saw an enormous tortoise, wandering in the void, its shell revealing a world with mountains, seas, and continents.

They also saw giants sleeping soundly deep within the galaxy, their dreams giving rise to a vibrant world indistinguishable from reality.

They discovered a planet teeming with life, their technology having advanced to the point of exploring planets within their own system. Little did they know that the planet beneath their feet was teeming with a terrifying behemoth.

I saw a colossal shadow, wandering through the universe, stretching out its pitch-black tentacles, constantly capturing stars to fill its eternally insatiable abyssal maw...

The bizarre and wonderful sights left Lu Chen speechless with amazement. He was deeply awestruck by the grandeur of the universe and felt both awe and longing for those mysterious scenes.

Perhaps one day in the future, I will be able to visit the golden crow that forged the sun, carrying the giant tortoise of the world, the giant god who evolved the world.

Perhaps one day in the future, I will also become a part of these fantastical scenes, or even something higher.

Just as I was lost in thought.

All the illusions suddenly vanished.

A sword appeared in Lu Chen's field of vision.

A divine sword that seemed to represent the ultimate killing, the final destruction, and the most complete end.

and.

It is not an illusory sword intent.

But...

It really exists!
……

In the Twin Dragons World, within the Frost Palace.

Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes, and deep in his pupils, there seemed to be a lingering, brilliant sword light that could end all things, yet was eternally indestructible.

Just a glance.

Lu Chen felt a sense of disillusionment, as if his body and soul had been annihilated.

It was as if a single glance would utterly destroy him, reducing him to nothingness.

He was certain that it was not a hallucination.

If his consciousness hadn't been protected by the sword light emitted by the "Sword Intent of Immortal Slaughter," that fleeting glimpse would have completely shattered his consciousness, and even his physical body would have been reduced to ashes.

Just like in my previous life when I was taken away by the "Sword Intent of Immortal Slaughter".

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Lu Chen's forehead.

a long time.

He finally let out a long breath, muttering to himself with lingering fear:
"The real... Immortal Execution Sword?"

Having survived a massive calamity and harvested a huge amount of calamity energy, the Immortal Execution Sword, seeing my excellent performance, took me to see the real Immortal Execution Sword as a reward.

Not only that, it seems they also know the location of the "Immortal Execution Sword".

As for where the Zhuxian Sword itself is located...

After pondering for a while, Lu Chen's expression turned strange.

"That's it, no wonder..."

A subtle emotion welled up in Lu Chen's heart: after the mystery was solved, he felt both enlightened and "should have thought of it sooner."

"If you don't have the ability, you can't get it even if you find it."

The Zhuxian Sword is of too high a rank.

Even with the protection of the Immortal Execution Sword Intent, he now only has the right to glance at it from afar.

They couldn't even get close, let alone reach out and touch it.

But now that we know where the Immortal Execution Sword is...

"Sooner or later, that day will come..." Lu Chen reminisced about the bizarre and wonderful things he saw when his consciousness ascended, as well as the divine sword that could end all things. In his mind, the "heart sword" formed by lightning became even more brilliant and resilient.

……

early morning.

Wanwan woke up beautifully, sat up and stretched comfortably, when she suddenly felt something was wrong with her body.

Looking down, all she was wearing was a strapless top covering her chest; the rest of her body was exposed.

Only then did she recall her experience from last night, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

She slowly bent her long, slender, snow-white legs, wrapped her arms around her knees, and clung to the sheets with her feet. Looking at Lu Chen, who was smiling at her, she blinked and whispered:

"Excuse me, could you please pass me my clothes?"

Lu Chen reached out and took the clothes that were placed beside the couch, and handed them to her.

"Thank you."

Wanwan whispered as she took the clothes and sat down to put them on.

She quickly dressed, then blushed and looked at Lu Chen, saying shyly:
"I'll come again tonight."

Lu Chen was somewhat surprised. Looking at Wanwan's shy appearance, he thought she had exhausted the courage she had shown last night, but he didn't expect her to still dare to do so.

Seeing his surprised expression, Wanwan pouted and tried to defend herself:

"I'm not a weakling. Last night, well, it was just because I was too excited about breaking through to the eighteenth level of the Heavenly Demon Art that I didn't perform well... Anyway, as the Yin Gui Demoness, I should be very powerful."

"Yeah, that's great."

Lu Chen gave a perfunctory reply.

Wanwan puffed out her rosy cheeks, looking defiant:
"You don't believe me? Just wait and see tonight! You kissed me last night, so tonight I'll return the favor and kiss you back!"

As soon as she uttered those bold words, her cheeks flushed red to her earlobes, and even her fair neck was tinged with a blush.

Lu Chen chuckled and said:

"That's amazing? Anyway, it's still early. Why don't we try it now instead of waiting until tonight?"

Wanwan was startled. Thinking of Lu Chen's kiss last night, which had left her weak and in tears, she couldn't help but feel a surge of heat rising in her lower abdomen.

"Forget about it now, I need to consolidate my cultivation first. We'll talk about it tonight!"

Wanwan spoke in a panic, then jumped off the imperial bed like lightning and fled like a frightened little rabbit.

It must be said that Wan Yaonu's mental cultivation is quite powerful.

At breakfast, she acted as if nothing had happened. Even when facing Lu Chen, she greeted him with a smile, as if she hadn't slept in Lu Chen's bed the night before and this was their first meeting this morning.

Lu Chen didn't expose her, responding to her greeting normally, and then said to Li Xiuning:
"There's something I need you to arrange, Xiuning."

Li Xiuning said with a smile:
"Brother Lu, please give your instructions."

"There are many palace maids in the palace, but no guards. So I would like to ask Xiuning to take a count of which palace maids are willing to learn martial arts. Those who are willing to learn martial arts can be taught some basic skills. If their character and perseverance are up to par, they can be formally trained. This way, we can have more helpers in the future, and we won't have to do everything ourselves."

Li Xiuning nodded and said:

"Okay. I'll go make it after breakfast."

Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she asked with great interest:
Do you want to form a sect?

Lu Chen shook his head:
"No. It's just for convenience, and to give ambitious people a chance."

"Since they are teaching martial arts, then they must belong to a sect."

Wanwan said with a grin:
"Then we need to come up with a catchy name. Hmm, how about Divine Sword Sect? Or Heavenly Sword Clan? Lishan Palace can also be renamed Divine Sword Manor or Heavenly Sword Manor in the future."

"Great idea!" Dugu Feng nodded repeatedly, indicating that the demoness's idea was excellent.

Lian Rou also said with great enthusiasm:

"That's a great idea! With our uncle, the greatest swordsman in the world, in charge, and with our five top experts, our Divine Sword Sect will be the number one sect in the world from the day it was founded!"

Li Xiuning also became interested:

"First, set a date for establishing the sect, then send out invitations to heroes from all over the world to attend the ceremony. Since it is Brother Lu who is establishing the sect, even Song Que of the Heavenly Blade might be tempted to leave Lingnan Mountain City."

Wanwan then looked at Shi Feixuan:

"Sister Feixuan, what do you say?"

Dugu Feng, Li Xiuning, and Lian Rou also stared intently at her.

What could Shi Feixuan say?
Of course, I can only agree.

Lu Chen was speechless:
"I haven't even spoken yet, and you've already made a decision on my own?"

Wanwan patted her chest and declared with great confidence:
"You don't need to worry about this, we'll take care of it for you!"

Lu Chen shook his head:
"This isn't a matter of whether we'll take care of it or not. To put it bluntly, with my current reputation, if I were to actually establish a sect and issue invitations to all heroes, the impact would be too great. Countless people would come to become my disciples and learn from me, making it impossible for us to have any peace and quiet... Do you really want to see that kind of scene?"

His daily training schedule was packed, leaving him little time to relax. Arranging for palace maids to learn martial arts was merely for convenience; he had no energy to establish a sect.
When Dugu Feng, Shi Feixuan, Li Xiuning, and Lian Rou heard Lu Chen say this, they also felt that it was a bit inappropriate. If people really came to learn from him every day, the quiet and secluded Lishan Palace would probably become as noisy as a street market.

Even Wanwan, who was most interested in the establishment of a sect, hesitated for a moment.

"Of course, Wanwan, if you really want to play, I have another idea."

Lu Chendao:
"First, we will secretly recruit disciples and train them in secrecy. Once we have developed to a certain extent and have a few capable disciples, we will announce it to the world and establish our sect. In this way, the disciples we train first can help us handle all kinds of trivial matters and chores, so we don't have to worry about them ourselves."

Wanwan's eyes lit up:
“That’s feasible! Recruiting and secretly training disciples is the Holy Sect’s specialty.”

Shi Feixuan reminded:
“Senior Sister Wan, Brother Lu is a renowned hero, and the sect he founded is a legitimate martial arts sect. Even if we need to secretly train disciples in the early stages, we cannot use the methods of the Yin Gui Sect.”

Wanwan waved her hand:
"I know, I know, I won't use the Yin Gui School's methods."

Lu Chen then said:

“Recruiting disciples should not be limited to children who do not know martial arts, and there is no need to pay too much attention to age, physical constitution, or whether they have martial arts skills. As long as their character is up to standard, that is fine.”

Anyway, he has the "Old Man's Fist," and the He Shi Bi can be used to change the acupoints and meridians of two people at the same time every six months of charging, making it a treasure to protect the sect.

In that case, one need not concern oneself with the disciple's age or physical condition.

He also possesses the "Heart Sword" to perceive emotions, and he can recruit those who come to him with skills. In any case, those with ulterior motives cannot be hidden from him and will only become his prey.

"Let's establish some rules first."

Dugu Feng proposed:
"Even if we need to develop in secret in the early stages, we must first establish the rules of the sect. This way, when disciples make mistakes in the future, there will be rules to follow when they are punished."

Shi Feixuan nodded and said:

"That's right, the rules of the sect must be established first."

The girls then started discussing the rules and regulations.

Seeing their enthusiastic expressions, Lu Chen wondered if he should bring Rong'er over.

When a sect is established, it is always appropriate for the sect leader's wife to be present.
