Black Night Filled the Sky
Chapter 131 The Number One Sword Art Under Heaven
Inside the Wan Chu Great Hall.
The Wan Chu Holy Master seemed extremely mysterious.
This made Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel curious.
Why are there some people who always like to keep people in suspense?
They clearly could finish speaking, but insist on making a show of mystery?
Is it fun? Is it interesting?
Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought, carefully considering, after a little pondering.
Hey, you know what, it's actually quite interesting.
However, this kind of suspenseful thing is only fun when you do it yourself; it's very uncomfortable when others do it.
Lu Changsheng looked at the Wan Chu Holy Master.
The latter pretended to be mysterious for a while, then opened his mouth and said.
"The Purple Green Sacred Ground's sword manual only has half."
The Wan Chu Holy Master said this.
"Only half?"
Lu Changsheng was completely shocked.
Relying solely on half of a sword manual, they were able to create an immortal sacred ground?
That's too exaggerated, right?
Although Lu Changsheng didn't understand the other sacred grounds, according to the standards of the Da Luo Sacred Ground, he could still know the horror of a sacred ground.
The Ten Great Sacred Grounds of Central Continent don't have rankings, but everyone knows that the Da Luo Sacred Ground is actually vaguely aiming for first place. Although the Purple Green Sacred Ground isn't in the top three, it's not at the bottom either, belonging to around sixth or seventh place.
Yet, this is still only half a sword manual?
This is too terrifying.
It's like if the Da Luo Sacred Ground's core mental cultivation method was missing half, the Da Luo Sacred Ground would probably have to change its name to the Da Luo Sect.
"Senior, half a sword manual, to be able to let the Purple Green Sect be ranked as a sacred ground, what kind of sword manual is it?"
Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ask.
"The Number One Sword Art in the World."
The Wan Chu Holy Master said this.
Six words, sonorous and powerful.
"The Number One Sword Art in the World?"
This name is truly domineering enough. No wonder half a sword manual could allow the Purple Green Sacred Ground to become one of the Ten Great Sacred Grounds.
"What is the Number One Sword Art in the World?"
Lu Changsheng continued to ask.
"The sword transforms into myriad phenomena, myriad phenomena transform into the sword, the sword transforms into all things, all things are the sword."
The Wan Chu Holy Master spouted a bunch of words that Lu Changsheng couldn't understand, and perhaps even he himself didn't understand.
But this kind of rhetoric is the most attractive. Everyone in the entire hall listened attentively to what the Wan Chu Holy Master said.
"Back then, the Shu Sect Sacred Ground's older generation of cultivators' swordplay philosophy was, 'The Dao of the Sword has three thousand paths, each with its own merits, leading to the same destination.'"
"However, the Purple Green Twins believed that 'the Dao of the Sword is infinite, evolving into myriad phenomena, different paths leading to the same destination,' so the two had a huge conflict of ideas."
"It was also because of this conflict of ideas that the Purple Green Twins relinquished their positions as holy sons. The two left the Purple Green Sacred Ground and then wandered the world, experiencing the myriad states of mortal life, visiting famous swordplay masters across the land. In the end, the two, through countless sparring and exchanges, evolved the Myriad Phenomena Sword Art, which is the Number One Sword Art in the World."
"Then, they created the Purple Green Sacred Ground. It only took ten thousand years for the Purple Green Sacred Ground to firmly establish its foundation in Central Continent. And after the Purple Green Sacred Ground established its foundation, the two Purple Green seniors continued to devote themselves to deducing this Number One Sword Art in the World."
"However, when the two Purple Green Twin seniors were about to succeed, one of them became possessed by a demon. In order to save the other, the two went to the Great Barren Mountain to find a kind of divine medicine, but once they left, they never returned. Some people say that the two have already become immortals."
"Others say that Senior Qing Cheng died because she was possessed by a demon, and Senior Zi Zhen also accompanied her in leaving the world. But what the final result was, no one knows. The only thing that can be known is that they disappeared just like that, leaving half a sword manual to the Purple Green Sacred Ground."
The Wan Chu Holy Master said this.
This story is very attractive. Lu Changsheng was indeed attracted to it.
Two people in love, obsessed with the sword, living for the sword. Because of different ideas in their hearts, they angrily relinquished the name of holy son, and then, bearing enormous pressure, they wandered the world, visiting famous masters, comprehending the Dao of the Sword, and finally creating the Purple Green Sacred Ground, only to prove that the path they were taking was right.
Then, because of being possessed by a demon, they went to the Great Barren Mountain, and ultimately disappeared, leaving behind endless legends and stories.
But it must be said that the Purple Green Sacred Ground's half sword manual is truly terrifyingly powerful.
Although Lu Changsheng is a peerless sword immortal, his sword intent is unparalleled, but he doesn't have any sword art techniques, and this is a shortcoming.
It's equivalent to a chef who has an extremely talented aptitude for cooking, but has no ingredients, no salt, and no chili peppers.
"And I think, this time, the Purple Green Holy Master will probably discuss something with you."
The Wan Chu Holy Master opened his mouth and said this.
"Discuss something? What matter?"
Lu Changsheng was a little curious.
"Cannot say, not good to say, you will know when you go to the Purple Green Sacred Ground."
The Wan Chu Holy Master didn't continue speaking and started keeping people in suspense again. He didn't know where he learned it from.
Although his heart was a little itchy, Lu Changsheng didn't ask any further.
Since he wouldn't say it, there was naturally a reason for not saying it. Perhaps some things can only be understood implicitly, not asked in words.
However, the Wan Chu Holy Master couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Why hasn't he asked me yet?"
He had been waiting for Lu Changsheng to inquire.
However, Lu Changsheng didn't ask any further, making the Wan Chu Holy Master feel a little uncomfortable.
Ask quickly, ask me, ask me and I'll tell you.
It's just a pity that Lu Changsheng misunderstood his meaning, and really thought that he couldn't ask any further, so he didn't continue to ask.
Causing the Wan Chu Holy Master to feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
It's like you know a secret, knowing that the other party must be very curious, but the other party insists on not asking. This is very uncomfortable.
Especially for someone like him who keeps his mouth shut, it's even more torturous.
Just at this moment, Zheng Haoran's voice suddenly rang out.
"Senior Brother Lu, will Senior Brother Lu participate in this Heavenly Pride Assembly?"
He opened his mouth to inquire, mentioning the Heavenly Pride Assembly.
This was the second time Lu Changsheng had heard of the Heavenly Pride Assembly.
Although he didn't understand it very well, he roughly knew what kind of gathering the so-called Heavenly Pride Assembly was.
"Uh, should... not go!"
Lu Changsheng wasn't planning to go, but well, he always felt that if he firmly said he wouldn't go, he would definitely end up going. If he said he probably wouldn't go, then he probably really wouldn't go.
"Not go? That's a gathering that only happens once every few years. Those who can go are all contemporary heavenly prides. Senior Brother Lu should participate. Otherwise, some ignorant people who haven't seen Senior Brother Lu will probably be noisy all day long. Especially those few people from the Eastern Land. A few days ago, they even publicly humiliated Senior Brother. Shouldn't Senior Brother go and teach them a lesson?"
Zheng Haoran was a little surprised.
He wasn't going to the Heavenly Pride Assembly? You're not going to such a good opportunity to show off? Look at me, I want to go but I don't dare to, for fear of being a foil.
"All fame is nothing more than passing clouds. Only one's own strength is the unchanging eternity."
Lu Changsheng calmly found an excuse for himself.
"Good!"
"As expected of Nephew Changsheng. At such a young age, he has already achieved great enlightenment, good!"
"Nephew Changsheng is truly extraordinary. At such a young age, he has already thought of this profound state. I am ashamed. I have cultivated for three thousand years before seeing through everything in this world, barely reaching the state of supreme good being like water. Compared to them, although it is several times better, compared to Nephew Changsheng, it is still not good."
"Alas, if I were the same age as Nephew Changsheng, I think I would probably only be one-tenth as good."
Everyone praised Lu Changsheng, and by the way, praised themselves.
And the Wan Chu Holy Master was also deeply touched: "Nephew Changsheng, as expected of a Qilin son, whether it is his state of mind or his cultivation, he surpasses his peers by a hundredfold."
After saying this, the Wan Chu Holy Master looked at Zheng Haoran again, his eyes full of fierceness.
"Look at your virtue. You don't cultivate properly all day long. You've been messing around for so many years, and you can't even become a holy son. You're still thinking about participating in this assembly and that assembly. After Nephew Changsheng leaves, you go and cultivate. When will you break through to the Transformation God realm, then you can go out again."
The Wan Chu Holy Master said angrily.
Zheng Haoran: "???"
What's it got to do with me?
Why are you scolding me for no reason?
Whether I become a holy son or not isn't up to you?
Just like that, along with the laughter and cheers that followed, the feast lasted until the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) before it ended.
Lu Changsheng went back to rest.
Afterwards, he had been discussing formations with Elder Chen Ling all these days.
A full twenty days passed before Lu Changsheng had to leave.
Mainly because the time was delayed for too long.
If he stayed at the Purple Green Sacred Ground for a few more days, then he couldn't not attend the Linglong Birthday Banquet, right?
And so, under strong urging, Lu Changsheng left the Wan Chu Sacred Ground, which was considered a satisfactory end to his check-in.
He flew towards the Purple Green Sacred Ground.
Because it wasn't very far away, there was no need to use a teleportation formation.
At the same time.
The Wan Chu Holy Master and Zheng Haoran watched Lu Changsheng leave.
After a while, Zheng Haoran scratched his head and asked, "Master, do you think Senior Brother Lu can help the Purple Green Sacred Ground repair the sword manual?"
He asked this, appearing very curious.
"He will."
The Wan Chu Holy Master answered directly, without any hesitation.
"Why is Master so certain?"
Zheng Haoran asked curiously.
And the Wan Chu Holy Master exhaled.
Immediately afterwards, he appeared Daoist-like and immortal, slowly opening his mouth and saying.
"Because Changsheng is as handsome as I was when I was young."
Zheng Haoran: "......"
