Chapter 1 The Beginning

Ziqing Holy Land.

Deep in the night, during Yin Hour (3-5 AM).

The Ziqing Holy Master slowly spoke.

"Since the disappearance of the two founding masters tens of thousands of years ago, although the Ziqing Holy Land has continued to this day, it has become outwardly strong but inwardly weak, each generation worse than the last. Now, it has come to this: I am about to ascend. If I succeed, it will still leave a bit of lingering influence. If I fail, the Ziqing Holy Land will encounter a great disaster."

"Over the years, many sects have been eyeing the Holy Land covetously. The Ziqing Holy Land also has unspeakable connections with the Shumen Holy Son. I am really worried that after I ascend, the Ziqing Holy Land will disappear completely."

"Therefore, even if I have to be shameless, I implore Changsheng, my junior nephew, to save my Ziqing Holy Land."

The Ziqing Holy Master said this, and at the end, he bowed to Lu Changsheng, performing a great ceremony.

"Absolutely not!"

Lu Changsheng immediately helped the Ziqing Holy Master up. Although he usually fooled around and played pranks, the other party was the Ziqing Holy Master, after all. He couldn't accept such a bow.

"Holy Master, please tell me how Changsheng can help the Ziqing Holy Land."

At the same time, Lu Changsheng had already guessed what the Ziqing Holy Master was going to do.

But he didn't say it directly, but let the Ziqing Holy Master speak.

"This matter is extremely difficult for me, but if it is for Changsheng, my junior nephew, perhaps it should not be a big deal. Changsheng, my junior nephew, should have heard that my Ziqing Holy Land has a fragmented sword manual, right?"

The Ziqing Holy Master said this.

"Yes," Lu Changsheng nodded.

The latter continued to speak: "The sword manual was jointly created by the two founding masters. The two founding masters of the Ziqing Holy Land were famous swordplay experts in the world. The Ziqing Holy Land has deduced it generation after generation, but still cannot deduce the remaining half. Now, Changsheng, my junior nephew, has entered the realm of supreme sword dao. I hope Changsheng, my junior nephew, can lend a helping hand and save my Holy Land from fire and water. If Changsheng, my junior nephew, agrees, from now on, the Ziqing Holy Land will sculpt statues of Changsheng, my junior nephew, and worship them."

The Ziqing Holy Master spoke, even saying these words, wanting to sculpt a statue for Lu Changsheng.

This was no small matter. Since ancient times, sculpting statues in the Holy Land has never been a small matter. Apart from the Holy Master, other disciples could not have statues erected. Even the Holy Master could not have a statue if he didn't have any great achievements.

If they really sculpted a statue for Lu Changsheng, then Lu Changsheng's position in the Ziqing Holy Land would probably not be worse than the Holy Master's.

However, Lu Changsheng had also guessed the Ziqing Holy Master's request.

But an embarrassing thing came.

Deducing sword techniques?

Although he had attained the supreme sword dao, this sword dao was obtained by acting tough. Apart from being proficient in sword intent, he couldn't deduce sword techniques.

"Holy Master, it's not that this junior is unwilling to help, but the sword manual deduced by two peerless swordsmen throughout their lives, I am afraid I cannot bear this important task."

Lu Changsheng said seriously.

He understood a principle very well. Some tough acts could be put on, but some could not.

"Alas!" The Ziqing Holy Master sighed, his eyes full of helplessness, and said: "I understand, you are still a disciple of Da Luo. It was I who was being presumptuous."

The Ziqing Holy Master sighed like this, and then slowly opened his mouth, making Lu Changsheng feel a little embarrassed.

However, Lu Changsheng could also understand. His attainment of sword dao could be said to make him the number one sword dao talent in the world, and he was so handsome. How could he not be able to deduce a sword manual?

Alas!

Sighing, Lu Changsheng could only bite the bullet and say: "However, trying it out is not impossible, but Holy Master, if Changsheng really cannot deduce it, I hope Holy Master will not blame me."

Lu Changsheng said this.

"No, no, no, I will never blame you, never blame you, thank you, Changsheng, my junior nephew, thank you, Changsheng, my junior nephew, thank you, Changsheng, my junior nephew!"

After hearing Lu Changsheng agree, the Ziqing Holy Master was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

"In that case, I will not disturb Changsheng, my junior nephew, from comprehending the sword manual."

The other party said this, and then was about to leave.

"Holy Master, wait a moment," Lu Changsheng said, and the latter was a little curious.

"You haven't given me the sword manual yet."

Lu Changsheng kindly reminded him.

"Oh! Hahaha, I forgot, I forgot." The Ziqing Holy Master couldn't help but look very embarrassed, because he was too excited, he forgot to give Lu Changsheng the sword manual. Soon, the Ziqing Holy Master raised his hand, and a very ancient book appeared in his hand and said, "This sword manual is the original version. Everything will be troubling Changsheng, my junior nephew. If you can really deduce the latter half, even if you only deduce a small part of the latter half, the Ziqing Holy Land will erect a holy statue for Changsheng, my junior nephew."

The Ziqing Holy Master said extremely seriously.

"Changsheng will do his best."

Lu Changsheng also said very solemnly. He didn't think he could repair the sword manual.

So he said this.

"Thank you!"

After the Ziqing Holy Master thanked him, he left this place.

Soon, the night was quiet, and Lu Changsheng studied the book by lamplight.

The sword manual was very old, and some places were even yellowed. This was something from tens of thousands of years ago, and it was already good that it could be preserved to this day.

Opening the first page of the sword manual, four words soon came into view.

【Tian Di Wan Xiang】(Heaven and Earth Myriad Forms)

The words were vigorous like pine trees, and the strokes were like dragons and snakes, and even more sharp. Each word was like a peerless sword, which was amazing.

Lu Changsheng carefully watched the sword manual.

Although this was to help the Ziqing Holy Land repair the sword manual.

But in the same way, he could also get a boost.

The night was quiet, and Lu Changsheng carefully looked at the sword manual. He read every word carefully, and he carefully pondered every word.

It had to be said that this sword technique was indeed extraordinary. The stronger the sword intent, the more one could feel the extraordinary nature of it.

Just like that, until dawn.

Lu Changsheng was unable to recover for a long time. He had already read the sword manual, but he was immersed in the sword manual.

Senior Zizhen was indeed extraordinary in sword intent, and his sword dao attainments made Lu Changsheng have to admire him.

And Senior Qingcheng was also extremely extraordinary. The two of them became Dao partners and jointly composed sword techniques, leaving behind a good story.

However, what truly made Lu Changsheng admire was that this set of sword techniques was indeed terrifying.

It was called the number one sword art in the world, and it was definitely not an exaggeration.

The general idea of this sword technique was that the swords of the world all lead to the same destination by different paths, and the end point of any sword technique is the same, and each type of sword technique is actually related.

Senior Zizhen wanted to create an unparalleled sword technique that could evolve all the sword techniques in the heavens. Not only would it evolve the sword techniques of the heavens, but it would also be stronger than the opponent's sword techniques.

This was the terrifying thing about the sword manual.

It could evolve all the sword techniques in the heavens, and it would also be stronger than yours.

The five elements generate and overcome each other, and sword techniques also generate and overcome each other. For example, fast swords are afraid of hard swords, and hard swords are afraid of soft swords.

A person can certainly practice several sword techniques, but a person's energy is limited. To put it bluntly, most sword cultivators cannot even learn one sword technique well, so how can they learn several more?

But with this number one sword art in the world, you only need to learn one sword to evolve all the swords in the heavens.

That was how terrifying it was, but the most terrifying thing was not this.
