Chapter 1 A Sword Scar of Ten Thousand Miles

A sword scar stretching ten thousand miles had torn open a chasm a hundred zhang deep.

Seen from the void, it looked like a shocking scar.

Before, it was a contest of sword intent, but this was Lu Changsheng's true strength.

The crowd was surprised, but not particularly shocked, because Lu Changsheng was already a Tribulation Transcension expert. Slicing out a ten-thousand-mile-long sword scar wasn't that amazing.

It was only because everyone had only seen sword intent in the duel, not the real sword qi, that they were so surprised.

"Transmit my sacred decree! Lu Changsheng of the Great Luo Holy Land has contributed to repairing my Holy Land's sword manual. After unanimous decision by the elders, a sacred statue will be erected for Lu Changsheng, to be the Holy Teacher of all disciples of the Purple Azure Holy Land!"

The Purple Azure Holy Lord spoke slowly.

The disciples were somewhat surprised, but compared to what had happened before, it inexplicably didn't seem that shocking.

"We obey!"

The disciples replied.

"Holy Teacher Changsheng, would you be willing to gather in the main hall?"

The Purple Azure Holy Lord's voice rang out.

Inviting Lu Changsheng to the Purple Azure Main Hall.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng took a step and appeared directly inside the hall.

At this moment, only the Purple Azure Holy Lord was in the hall.

"Thank you, Nephew Changsheng!"

As soon as Lu Changsheng entered the hall, the Purple Azure Holy Lord cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng did not dodge this bow.

He accepted this kindness.

This was an enormous favor, and Lu Changsheng deserved this bow.

After the bow.

The Purple Azure Holy Lord looked at Lu Changsheng, then slowly said, "Nephew Changsheng, in terms of treasures, the Purple Azure Holy Land doesn't have any treasures that can compare to the Sword Mountain of the Shu Sect Holy Land. In terms of elixirs, I don't think they would be of much use to Nephew Changsheng. So, before I ascend, Nephew Changsheng can make three requests of me. As long as these three requests don't touch the interests of the Purple Azure Holy Land, I will do whatever it takes."

The Purple Azure Holy Lord said with utmost sincerity.

To thank Lu Changsheng, he was willing to help Lu Changsheng complete three things.

"Holy Lord, you are too kind."

Lu Changsheng shook his head; he didn't need such a reward.

But the Purple Azure Holy Lord also shook his head and said, "Nephew Changsheng, the Purple Azure Holy Land can never repay this kindness. The Purple Azure Ancestor and the Qingcheng Ancestor deduced a sword technique for ten thousand years, but it was ultimately incomplete. Today, with Nephew Changsheng's perfected sword technique, the Purple Azure Holy Land will surely soar to the heavens."

"So, just three things are not enough to repay the kindness. After I ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future, I am willing to do three more things for Nephew Changsheng."

The Purple Azure Holy Lord was a very loyal and reasonable person.

Insisting on this promise.

Lu Changsheng originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he really had helped the Purple Azure Holy Land with a great favor. Any normal person would feel embarrassed.

But three promises were okay. If he encountered some ignorant guy causing trouble in the future, he could directly ask the Purple Azure Holy Lord to help solve it.

How much face would that give him?

Others hired assassins to kill people.

He hired a Holy Lord to kill people.

Hiss!

So fierce!

"But, Nephew Changsheng, are there any other insights or experiences?"

The Purple Azure Holy Lord asked curiously.

"The sword manual I deduced at the Sword Comprehension Cliff today is basically the same as I imagined, so there shouldn't be any major errors. Holy Lord, please rest assured. Since Changsheng promised to repair the sword manual, he won't hold back."

Lu Changsheng said this, causing the Purple Azure Holy Lord to smile awkwardly, "No, no, how could I think that way! Well, Nephew Changsheng, great kindness needs no thanks. The Purple Azure Holy Land, from top to bottom, will remember this kindness in our hearts."

Lu Changsheng didn't say anything, just cupped his hands in reply.

Afterward, there were no more trivial matters, and Lu Changsheng took his leave.

Returning to his residence.

Lu Changsheng began to carefully practice the Number One Sword Art Under Heaven he had learned today.

In fact, Lu Changsheng had indeed held back a little.

But to be precise, it couldn't be called holding back.

Among the Number One Sword Art Under Heaven, the last two moves were the most crucial, especially the "No Form is Superior to Form," which was the main core.

It required strong sword intent to support it. If the sword intent was not strong, and you encountered an enemy and used "No Form is Superior to Form," you were guaranteed to die miserably.

But Lu Changsheng didn't say it; all of this depended on one's own comprehension.

Even if he said it, they might not understand.

Of course, the most important thing was that Lu Changsheng was not a saint. He was, after all, a disciple of the Great Luo Holy Land, not a disciple of the Purple Azure Holy Land.

Repairing the sword manual was already a great kindness.

If he went all out to teach them, and one day the Purple Azure Holy Land surpassed the Great Luo Holy Land, wouldn't that be meddling in other people's business?

The Purple Azure Holy Lord would definitely not cause trouble for the Great Luo Holy Land.

But what about the next Purple Azure Holy Lord? The one after that? The one after that?

The resources of heaven and earth were limited. Why were there only ten Holy Lands in Zhongzhou?

Why not twelve Holy Lands? Sixteen Holy Lands? Thirty-two Holy Lands?

Why just ten Holy Lands?

It was because of the division of resources. In fact, a long time ago, there were only four Holy Lands in Zhongzhou. However, it was because of these four Holy Lands that countless sects fought each other, and internal strife was extremely bad.

In the end, after tens of thousands of years, and countless deaths, the foundation for the ten Holy Lands was laid.

And the reason for the balance was not only to stop the killing, but also because of the balance of power and the balance of resources.

But if one day, a certain Holy Land suddenly became dominant, with ten experts like Qingyun Daoist appearing.

At that time, naturally some Holy Lands would definitely monopolize some resources.

Might makes right.

Strength is truth.

Lu Changsheng could help the Purple Azure Holy Land, but he wouldn't help unconditionally, nor would he help wholeheartedly. He would help where he should, and he wouldn't be a pushover where he shouldn't.

Holding back a little was a sign of respect for the Great Luo Holy Land.

With such logical issues, Lu Changsheng quickly stopped thinking, otherwise the style would really change abruptly.

Traditional fighting and killing would be eliminated, not to mention that Lu Changsheng didn't like fighting in the first place.

Just imagine, a person as handsome as him, fighting all day long?

Constantly raising his fists and saying "I am invincible," was that interesting?

Of course, the most important thing was that Lu Changsheng was afraid of pain.

In life, you will always encounter a few formidable enemies, right?

What if you really fought, even if you won, would it be interesting to be injured?

The current state was pretty good. He could occasionally write poetry, attend banquets, and listen to others' praises. Wasn't that great?

Therefore, after becoming familiar with the sword technique, Lu Changsheng began to consider what to do next.

The next step was to go to the Exquisite Holy Land to celebrate the Exquisite Holy Lord's birthday.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Since it was a birthday celebration.

He had to bring something, right?

The things that the Great Luo Holy Land had prepared for him were obviously not good enough for the other party.

The things from the Langya Secret Realm were not easy to take out.

Taking them out would reveal his secrets.

Lu Changsheng thought seriously.

What kind of gift would make a six-thousand-year-old woman happy?

At the same time.

Behind the Sword Comprehension Cliff.

Some of the true disciples of the Purple Azure Holy Land came to the crack.

They came to see the power of Lu Changsheng's sword qi.

But when they arrived at the crack, everyone was shocked again.
