Woo--

All the heavens are sad.

Not only the Holy Spirit Continent, but also the Apricot Realm, the God’s Relics, the Void Island, the Holy Emperor Secret Realm, etc. are not in this plane, but they have intersections with the Holy Spirit Continent and connected worlds, and they all have such perceptions.

The death of the ancestor god is known to all the worlds, but they are unable to intervene and can only watch.

The blooming brilliance feeds back to heaven and earth from Lingyu Mountain, and flowing lights pour into all parts of the Holy Spirit Continent.

Some fall on barren land and nourish the abundant spiritual lake, some fall on deserted land and nurture the masterless holy power...

The plants and trees return to spring, and the dead branches spit green.

Everyone felt nourished by a little spiritual energy, and their energy improved a lot.

But they all felt sad at the same time, and tears inexplicably filled their eyes, as if Beihuai had arrived again.

"Ancestor Hua, die..."

As the first cultivator to be named a god and a ancestor in the spiritual refining era, he should have been passed down through the ages, leaving behind countless achievements, and ranked 11th ancestor.

Unexpectedly, glory is fleeting.

The eight masters returned to zero in one step, ending the upcoming prosperous era of the ancestors.

Is this the end?

No!

A discerning person can see that this is not the end, and the reaction should be just the beginning of the battle for hegemony by the ancestor gods.

After all, after Hua Zu, there are still several ancestors eyeing each one, and everyone is waiting for the arrival of this critical turning point.

But that's a story later.

On the distant mountains of Lingyu Mountain, a young man stood alone on the snow-stained peak, his eyes full of sadness.

“Master…”

Hualong lamp screen and candlestick ground for thirty years.

It has been only more than ten years since Xi held the sword, was seen, and learned from Hua Changlan.

During this period, I learned swords intermittently, and sometimes I couldn't go to the screen once a month, and could not see my master.

However, every time I meet, I benefit a lot.

Even though Master Hua Changdeng had never recognized him, he had never looked here until his death, when the Holy Spirit Temple still existed, only a few people such as the Taoist Palace Master knew his identity.

Xi, I am still grateful.

He knew that before he grew up, "not recognizing each other" was the greatest protection.

When the master was appointed as the Holy Emperor, the day before he left the screen, Xi went over and met for the last time.

After that teaching, Xi vaguely felt parting and couldn't help but ask the deepest questions that Xi Jian had left in his heart for more than ten years:

"Master, why did you choose me back then?"

There are many swordsman geniuses in the Yunshan Emperor Realm, and Beibei has grown up there since childhood, with far superior qualifications than himself.

Looking at the young ancient sword cultivators of the Five Realms, he was not a man, and no one cared about him when he first started out.

However, because the Taoist Palace Master created a prototype of the "Sword Division", he began to secretly select talents.

Xi was pretty good, and was chosen to be a "seed".

There are many other seeds.

Xi could only be included in the top ten, and was incomparable to those with the surname Yue, Hua, Rao, and the nobles on the Holy Mountain.

"You have no name or surname, but your qualifications are acceptable."

This is the master’s answer. It seems that from the beginning, he did not intend to pick people from the Holy Emperor Secret Realm and the top leaders of the Holy Mountain?

"But over the years, you didn't have the idea of ​​'accepting disciples' at the beginning. It seems that so far... well, neither, why did you choose me at that time?"

"Because of inheritance."

Xi vaguely remembered that when Master said this, his eyes were filled with regret.

Of course he asked after asking, but the master did not give a positive answer.

Inheritance?

The inheritance of ancient swordsmanship?

The master's soul method turned from ghost sword technique in the middle of the process is to make up for the regret that he did not insist on ghost sword technique?

Or...

Generally speaking, "one lineage and single pass" seems to be the old guy who premonitions that the deadline is approaching, so he chooses to accept a disciple, right?

So far, this is still Xi’s confusion.

At that time, the last thing was the last, and Xi also took the initiative and asked questions that every ancient sword cultivator was concerned about:

"Will there be another battle between Master and the Eighth Sword Immortal?"

"Yes!" The answer I got was determined.

"Master, how sure are you?"

“…”

But the master was silent.

Xi's first reaction was that his master had long stopped taking Bazun An seriously and he had no such person in his eyes.

Looking at his expression, he felt something was wrong.

It is guessed that it is probably "Five Five Opens". If the Eighth Sword Immortal has the means to deal with the sword ghost, he will not be idle for more than 30 years.

Now it seems...

The Master’s silence at that time seemed to contain more information?

The master did not answer positively, but instead took the initiative to mention another thing he was curious about but never dared to ask about:

"Do you know why I turned from the ancient swordsmanship in the past, from the ghost swordsmanship to the soul?"

Xi shook his head, he really didn't know about this.

“Because of this thing.”

The master took out a pitch-black wooden box, which was bigger than a head, and what was inside it was curious.

He opened the box and a rich soul power surged out. When he saw it clearly, he realized that it was a huge word "ghost".

"The Origin True Stele."

Before he could ask questions, the master took the initiative to explain, but he seemed a little sloppy: "I don't know what the specific function is, I only have a few guesses."

Xi was stunned, but he could only take the box with the opportunity and stare at the ancient font, and his thoughts continued.

The master said to himself: "Eight masters are familiar with the power of heaven. Just talking about ghost swordsmanship, he is not as good as me. If he talks about ancient swordsmanship, I am not as good as him."

"But few people know that I was able to become the only 'Lord of Fengdu' because when I got this Origin True Stele, I got the Shenting Yin Cao and borrowed three points of extra power."

Xi was silent and did not agree.

Who has never used external forces to practice Taoism?

Origin, resources, opportunities, and luck can all be understood as external forces, regardless of good or bad, and good or bad are dependent on each other - he was born in poverty and can also borrow the external forces of screens.

Although the Eighth Sword Immortal is extraordinary, how can the sword art you practice be created out of nothing? It depends entirely on your own understanding?

In fact, it was also stepping on the shoulders of the sword ancestor!

The experience of burying the sword tomb and getting to know Youtu is also partly related!

They all took advantage of the Tao. The Eighth Sword Immortal did not say any other opportunities, but the Master revealed more to him.

"I hesitated." The master pondered for a long time before he could speak out:

"What I hesitated is that I saw the upper limit of ghost swordsmanship. Even if the sword is mysterious, its height will be limited to that of the sword ancestor."

"Maybe I can transcend again, but the possibility of my progress is very small, and I can't go much."

"At most, I have to be on par with the eight masters who were found in the ancestor god, if he could do it."

After a pause, the master said it firmly: "If he could be the ancestor, he would definitely be able to understand my 'in-one progress'."

Xi, it was not until then that I understood.

The talent of the Eighth Sword Immortal actually gave the master who was born as the Holy Emperor of Yunshan and defeated him once, and was extremely heavy pressure.

He forced everyone in that era to make progress just a little bit, and had to take one big step forward, without seeing the upper limit.

Only by walking can you feel at ease.

It seems that only in this way can we avoid being left behind by the Eight Zun An.

"So the master also cultivates the way of souls. After the sword and soul are combined, the upper limit will be higher." Xi Ruoyou suddenly realized.
To be continued...
