Borrowing a sword

Chapter 108 Nine Realms Inheritance, Domain of Reincarnation

See you, Gaotangmingjing has white hair in sorrow, and the morning is like blue silk and snow in the evening.

Inside the stone gate, the frozen lake is as smooth as a mirror.

Chu Huaixu's back slammed heavily onto the ice, but Han Shuangjiang in his arms was unharmed.

She pressed down on him, and both of them felt a little dizzy.

The two of them now looked like two old men.

Falling suddenly from such a height would definitely make you dizzy and disoriented.

The fact that they didn't faint on the spot shows they had a strong will.

The large ice block was somewhat limp, pressing against Chu Huaixu's chest.

But what happened at this moment was not erotic at all.

Because she is no longer a woman who still retains her charm.

Her hair was gray and her face was covered with wrinkles.

She has a very good temperament, and her eyebrows, eyes and bone structure are very pleasing. After seeing her, one can't help but guess that this old lady must have been a very beautiful person when she was young.

Chu Huaixu, whose back was aching, suddenly felt a darkness engulf his vision.

To his surprise, despite the bizarre nature of this secret realm, which had even stripped him of many of his advantages in body tempering, his abnormally high pain threshold remained intact.
The Sword Refining Technique is terrifying!
"It feels like I have several broken bones." He closed his eyes, sensing his current physical condition.

But he soon discovered that both the broken bones and the lumps on his back from the impact were healing rapidly!
Sure, the Daoist Canon is just as good!

Within this mysterious secret realm, the characteristics of these two techniques still remain.

At this moment, Han Shuangjiang struggled to her feet and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's not a big problem," Chu Huaixu said.

The two looked at each other, then at the white-haired man.

Chu Huaixu's long, flowing black hair had all turned silver.

His face was also covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were even more cloudy.

He looked thinner than before.

"Am I very old now?" Han Shuangjiang asked.

She was almost afraid to look at herself.

Chu Huaixu smiled indifferently: "Aren't I the same?"

He knew he had a handsome bone structure and was very confident in himself. Even when he got old, he would still be a hot commodity among the older men in the square dancing area.

The two stood on the ice, looking around.

The fourth level of this Ancient Rings Secret Realm is naturally [Winter].

The place is freezing cold, bringing a bone-chilling cold.

Chu Huaixu's black and gold robes seemed to have lost their effectiveness; both of them felt extremely cold and instinctively moved closer together.

They are now in the very middle of the frozen lake.

The lake is surrounded by trees.

These trees were all bare and lifeless, like dead wood.

The ice is quite thick, so there's no need to worry about falling into the lake.

"I just wonder what this test will be about?" Chu Huaixu frowned slightly.

He knew nothing about the secret realm of tree rings.

This means that either it has not been found by the player, or it has already been obtained by Han Shuangjiang.

He personally prefers the latter.

Han Shuangjiang looked around, gripping the Partridge Sky cup tightly in her hand, her face full of vigilance.

She quickly spotted something and pointed, "Chu Huaixu, look over there."

There, on a certain spot by the lake, stood a stone tablet with the lake's name written on it.

——【Wudao Lake】.

These three large characters are vigorous and powerful, with a stroke that gives people a strange sense of sharpness.

"Enlightenment Lake?" Chu Huaixu frowned slightly, having made a guess in his mind.

The next moment, he had his answer.

A powerful aura began to emanate from the heavens, giving people an immense sense of oppression.

A translucent ripple spread outwards from the center of the frozen lake.

Immediately afterwards, even though this was clearly a secret world, snowflakes began to fall from above!
The snow started lightly, then it fell heavier and heavier.

The two of them seemed to be in a very strange space.

This inexplicable and mysterious feeling made Chu Huaixu feel both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

Han Shuangjiang looked up at Piaoxue: "What's wrong?"

She suddenly felt a deep, unseen sense, as if she had grasped something, yet she couldn't quite grasp it.

Chu Huaixu looked at her and gradually realized something.

His expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"This is the [Sword Domain]!"

At this very moment, within the inner sect of the Daoist sect, atop the Asking Peak.

All the powerful cultivators of the Daoist sect, those at the seventh realm or above, looked in the direction of Medicine Mountain, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Is this a domain?"

The outer sect's medicinal mountain actually exudes the aura of a [Domain]!

Sect Master Xiang Yan immediately transmitted his voice to the elders: "Everyone, please come with me to the Maple Leaf Forest of Medicine Mountain at once."

Everyone moved extremely fast, and except for Shen Man in the Purple Bamboo Forest, everyone flew to the Maple Forest immediately.

Chu Yinyin, whose cultivation level was the lowest, arrived late. After landing, she saw that all the senior brothers and sisters had excited and thrilled expressions on their faces.

Of everyone present, only she, at the sixth realm, had not yet mastered her own [Sword Domain].

She asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Why are you here in this maple forest?"

Chu Yinyin didn't even sense the aura of the domain!

Deep down, everyone hoped that she would be more ambitious and break through to the next level as soon as possible.

Therefore, they naturally wouldn't let this opportunity to mock them pass by.

With narrowed eyes, Zhao Shuqi immediately said, "Junior Sister, did the Sect Master send you a telepathic message? Actually, you're only at the sixth realm; you don't need to come and oversee things."

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Li Chunsong immediately replied with a smile.

"Huh? What do you mean!" Anger immediately flashed across the old woman's face: "You're pulling this trick on me again!"

Are those below the seventh realm not human?
Nangong Yue smiled gently, not intentionally teasing her, and said to the approachable, beautiful woman:

"Junior Sister, you may not know this, but a wisp of sword domain aura is emanating from here. Moreover, its level is very high, and it is very likely left by a senior in the ninth realm."

"Sword Domain?" Chu Yinyin was startled and immediately used her divine sense to investigate.

Hmm, nothing was detected.

She wanted to ask, but felt embarrassed, so she just listened.

As a result, Xiang Yan's next sentence completely shocked her.

“I suspect this is what is recorded in our temple’s scriptures—the Samsara Sword Domain!” he said in a hoarse voice.

Startled, Chu Yinyin immediately chimed in, "The Samsara Sword Domain? Then isn't this the legacy left behind by our second-generation [Abbot]!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately changed.

The inner gate of the Taoist sect houses the "Junzi Temple," which is the core of the sect and can only be entered by true disciples.

Within the Gentleman's Temple, the strongest person is the current abbot.

In Taoism, the sect leader holds supreme power, overseeing all affairs within the sect.

The abbot, on the other hand, was almost completely detached from worldly affairs, not concerning himself with any matters within the sect, focusing solely on cultivation, yet he held a highly respected position.

The reason why everyone listens to the storyteller from the foot of the mountain is partly because he is their junior uncle, and has a high seniority.

On the other hand, it is because, in a sense, he is actually the contemporary master of the gentleman's view!
However, he himself was unwilling to take the position, so the position remained vacant for many years.

However, in reality, the junior master of the Taoist sect was not given the title of abbot, but he was in fact the abbot.

A thousand years ago, as the Taoist sect gradually grew stronger, the Taoist patriarch passed on the position of sect leader to his eldest disciple, who only held the title of abbot and became a hands-off manager.

After the passing of the Daoist Ancestor, the second abbot of the Junzi Temple was his third disciple.

A female abbess!
Her name is somewhat peculiar.

Her surname is Yan, and her given name is Shen, the same as the mirage in the Chinese word for mirage.

He was a rare ninth-realm cultivator in this era! He was the leader of the Four Divine Swords of that generation, and he overpowered the Sword Master of the Sword Sect of that generation!

Although the Dao Ancestor has passed away, the number one swordsman of our time is still in the Daoist sect!
Her sword domain is called Reincarnation.

At this moment, Elder Lu Pan, a cultivator at the eighth level of cultivation, agreed with the sect leader's point of view.

"Judging from the feeling this sword domain gives me, I also feel that it is the Samsara Sword Domain."

"I never imagined that the second abbot would leave behind a secret realm for inheritance, and that it would be located in the outer sect's Medicine Mountain?"

"It seems that she hopes someone will follow the path she walked."

"Perhaps this is the original intention of leaving the secret realm outside the sect," Lu Pan remarked.

Chu Yinyin immediately perked up and asked, "Who's inside? Who's so lucky to have received the Abbot's inheritance!"

She began to feel incredibly envious.

From a phased perspective, sword cultivators must first comprehend the sword intent, then develop a sword heart, and finally reach the sword domain.

Chu Yinyin, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Sixth Realm, was already standing at the threshold of the Sword Domain.

As Xiang Yan said before, among the true disciples of the Daoist sect in this generation, the junior sister actually has the highest talent.

Once she enters the seventh realm, it's only a matter of time before she develops a sword domain.

However, since her sword intent and sword heart had already taken shape, she naturally could not replicate the Samsara Sword Domain.

However, we can learn from the experiences of others to improve ourselves.

Even if it cannot generate a Reincarnation Sword Domain, it can still absorb a portion of it.

The legacy left by such a top-tier cultivator of the ninth realm is of great benefit even to Xiang Yan and others!

Therefore, it is not surprising that Chu Yinyin felt envious.

What Lu Pan just said was actually a speculation about the original intention of the second abbot.

If the inheritance secret realm were located within the inner sect, many outstanding sword cultivators would likely have already developed sword intent, or even reached the threshold.

Therefore, it would be difficult to perfectly accept the complete version of the inheritance.

However, setting up the secret realm at the outer gate, where everyone's cultivation is still shallow, makes it extremely difficult for them to comprehend the Dao!
Regardless of the circumstances, being able to personally experience even a fraction of the supreme power left behind by a ninth-level cultivator would be an invaluable benefit for life!
When Chu Yinyin asked who was inside the secret realm, everyone smiled and looked at her.

"We would like to offer our congratulations to our junior sister in advance," everyone said with a smile.

"Huh? Congratulations for what?" She was completely confused. "I didn't even enter the secret realm."

Even if her senior brothers and sisters wanted to give her special treatment and let her, whose sword domain was still in its infancy, enter and gain some insights, it wouldn't work.

With the unparalleled power of a cultivator at the ninth level, even if everyone combined, they probably wouldn't be able to get in!

Before his fall from grace, the former junior uncle could single-handedly defeat everyone present.

As a result, the next thing everyone said immediately made the little elder beam with joy, and she understood why they were congratulating her.

"Your future precious disciple is right here in this secret realm of inheritance!"
