8 Yongzhen(1/2)
There is a mountain in Yunzhou called Dahuang, and there is a sword in the barren mountain called Xinghe.
It was the end of the Great Xia Dynasty, Kowloon was seizing the legitimate son, demons were in chaos, ghosts were rampant, people were like pigs and dogs, and there were countless casualties.
At this time of the rise and fall of the human race, a sword came out of the wilderness, the sword energy rushed into the night, like a star river falling to the ground, and the sky and the earth were darkened.
It took another thirteen years to slay all the demons in the northwest.
When the Daxuan Kingdom was established, Taizu climbed a mountain to observe swords. He talked with Xinghe Patriarch about mysteries and Taoism for seven days, and returned laughing.
From then on, the Xinghe Sword Sect was established in Huangshan, and Taizu gave it the title: Yongzhen Yunzhou.

…
The barren mountain is a mountain, thousands of feet high, with a black color, no vegetation, no birds and beasts, only countless sharp thorns growing upside down, as if full of sharp swords, also known as: Yunjian Mountain.
To put it bluntly, this is a large mine with extremely high purity. Every rock in it is a rare pure metal. It is also a holy land for sword cultivation.
However, the barren mountain is not just a mountain, but a large barren mountain range that stretches thousands of miles from east to west, with thousands of peaks, some are magnificent, some are steep, some are handsome, some are towering, just to name a few.
The barren mountain is surrounded by seven peaks, which are the Seven Palaces of the Galaxy. They are passed down from the seven disciples of the ancestor of the Galaxy. Each of them has profound cultivation and monstrous fighting power.
At this moment, the main peak is inside the Galaxy Hall.
It is rumored that the ancestor of Xinghe asked the masters of the Qi Sect to build this hall in 7749 years using countless precious materials. There are thousands of white clouds on the ground, which can reflect the stars in the sky.
Walking in it is like walking on the Milky Way. It has a broad mind and a broad vision, which is most conducive to understanding the swordsmanship of the Milky Way.
And high up in the Galaxy Hall, among the white clouds, there is a futon, which is the seat of the ancestor of Galaxy.
But now, no one has appeared there for a long time.
Under the futon, there are seven colorful clouds, representing the Lord of the Seventh Palace and the actual controller of the entire Galaxy Sword Sect.
Of course, under normal circumstances, only one palace master appears on duty to handle various matters.
However, today, here are seven palace masters standing on the white clouds, looking down at the center of the hall, listening carefully to the visitors' narration.
In the center of the palace, the female swordsman who appeared in Sifang City stood with her head bowed.
Even when she got here, she still wore a veil, but kept talking, describing some information that cost an unknown number of lives.
After a moment, she finished speaking, bowed slightly, and took a step back.
The hall fell into silence, as everyone seemed to be digesting the shocking news.
It was not until a long time later that someone came forward and said, "Okay, Ruoli, you have made great achievements this time, and the rewards you deserve will definitely not be less. Now, go down and rest first."
"Yes!" The female swordsman named Ruoli responded, stepped back to the entrance of the hall, and then turned around and left.
It wasn't until she was far away that the whole hall suddenly became lively, and someone said: "So, is Tiger Lu Wu really dead?"
Someone else replied: "The secret message is like this, we should believe it."
The person who spoke first smiled: "Look, look, I'm not the only one who has doubts. Are everyone murmuring in their hearts?"
The third person spoke, and a gentle female voice echoed in the hall: "I understand everyone's concerns. After all, that is a great demon that has lived for thousands of years and is an undefeated demon king who dominates the world.
It is indeed unbelievable that he died so silently and was stabbed in the back by his son.
But I feel that just because of this, it is more believable.”
The person who spoke first asked, "How can I trust you?"
Gentle female voice: "The Tiger has a tacit understanding with us. There may be small fights on the border, but now I don't think he will launch this kind of all-out war easily.
This is not good for his rule and will break the existing balance. He has no reason or motive to do this.
But if he died and died at the hands of his son, it would make sense.
This is because the successor tiger needs to eliminate dissidents, arrange for his own people to take over, and more importantly, establish his own prestige and right to speak.
And none of these are more convenient than a foreign war."
The voice of the fourth person who spoke was slightly older: "That makes some sense, but these are still guesses.
Besides, Thousand-Year Tiger, I always feel that it’s not that simple here.”
The gentle female voice spoke again: "Actually, we have all forgotten one thing. The Thousand-Year Tiger, he has lived for a thousand years, even if he has become a demon, the end of the thousand years has come.
I believe that a young tiger can be undefeated, but what about an old tiger?"
This is a taboo topic, and when it is brought up, the whole hall seems to be quiet.
Everyone thought of something and their expressions turned ugly.
At this time, the person located in the center of the seven white clouds, directly under the highest futon, finally spoke. It was a majestic bass, with undoubted power.
"The tiger is old, but the tiger is still a tiger. He will not die easily. But if he still dies, then there is something we must think deeply about."
"His death will never be simple. I seem to see a huge shadow behind it.
And this battle between humans and monsters will not be easy.
Because this is also a temptation for us, those beings in the shadow have begun to doubt, and we need to respond correctly and effectively."
A gentle female voice spoke: "Brother, head master, what do you think we should do?"
"We will do what we should do normally, and we will not do anything we shouldn't do. Otherwise, it will only make them more suspicious." The majestic male voice said:
"In that case, let's fight!"
"war!"
"I will reconsider."
"I will also reconsider. My only request is that I want to go this time."
"I want to go too. It's been a long time since I killed someone happily."
So, in just a moment, the Lord of the Seventh Palace came to a unified opinion, and when everyone had reached an agreement and retreated, the bell outside the Galaxy Palace was already ringing.
Boom boom boom boom!
The bell rang nine times, and the sound shook hundreds of miles. The previously calm mountain peaks seemed to be boiling, and countless sword lights came from all directions.
This is the decree summoned by the Galaxy Sword Sect!
Of course, this kind of summoning still takes time. The barren mountains are too big and the sword cultivators are scattered too widely. Even if they gather here after hearing the bell, it will still take a long time.
During this period, the bell will still ring at the frequency of nine times every hour, from dusk to dawn, and from dawn to dusk, until the sword cultivators gather.
This is also almost the highest level of war mobilization.
All disciples of the Sword Sect who hear the bell, except those who are in retreat, must come, and there must be no delay.
On the Four Seasons Peak.
As the bell rang, the female swordsman Xiu Ruoli walked out of her room, stepped onto the road leading to the mountain hall, crossed many restrictions, and walked into the depths of the hall.
Here she met the person she wanted to see, the master of the Palace of the Four Seasons and her master, the Sword Master of the Four Seasons Shen Jinxiu.
"Ruoli, you don't want to go to this battle, stay and recuperate, and also accumulate what you gained from this battle.
Your four-season swordsmanship has reached the point where frost has fallen on the winter solstice. If you can go one step further and complete the rotation of the four seasons, then the way forward has been opened, and your cultivation can make further progress. It will be a different world. "
The female sword cultivator spoke lightly, but her words still revealed her concern for her disciple: "I have prepared all the elixirs that should be prepared for you, and I have also applied for the necessary auxiliary equipment for you.
After I leave, you can use the Four Seasons Cave as you wish.
Finally, I have only one message for you, master. When building a hundred-foot-tall building rises from the ground, don’t be greedy for merit.”
Ruoli was moved, but her expression under the veil remained dull. She just bowed slightly and said sincerely: "Thank you, Master. I will follow Master's teachings."
After finishing speaking, she straightened up, but did not leave, but showed hesitation on her face.
"Huh? You still have something to do? It's not your character to be hesitant."
Ruoli did not hide anything: "Master, do you think it is possible to activate spells without using true energy or mana, and to be able to perfect the spells and become a peak creature?"
Shen Jinxiu tilted her head slightly and glanced over with some doubts: "It is not impossible to use the true magic power, but the price is very high and it is extremely harmful to the body.
And the magic technique is perfect, the peak creature.
Well, how long has he been practicing?"
Ruoli didn't know how to answer: "It should be the first time?"
"First time?" Shen Jinxiu's eyes changed. She looked at her proud apprentice and didn't speak again, but the meaning in her eyes was already clear.
Are you kidding me?
Ruoli was also anxious. She no longer covered it up, but recounted everything exactly as it was.
Including the results of her subsequent inspections more than once, everything was clearly stated.
"is that so?"
Shen Jinxiu was obviously interested, her eyes flickered several times, and she suddenly said: "Ruoli, you don't have to go to this battle, so go to Sifang City again and bring this person over.
I want to see him, he is a natural manipulator of spiritual intelligence, I have never seen such a physique in ancient books!"
"yes!"
