Chapter 1202: Chapter 52: Sword Roar and Western Winds (Part 2)
But a secret appointment and an official announcement like this are completely different matters, each carrying its own symbolic significance.
In an instant, countless Divine Senses and gazes from High Realm cultivators gathered outside Qingyun Palace.
The chaotic Divine Senses, enough to drive one to insanity, pressed together overwhelmingly towards Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan remained as calm as ever, walking step by step without disturbance, allowing the multitude of gazes and Divine Senses to gather upon him.
From today, he truly becomes the Young Sect Leader of the Sword Sect.
.....
The north city wall of Dragon City Pass faced a towering mountain ridge, named Envy Heaven Ridge.
The heavens have nine layers: First Heaven is Central Heaven, Second Heaven is Envy Heaven, Third Heaven is Follow Heaven, Fourth Heaven is Beyond Heaven, Fifth Heaven is Awaken Heaven, Sixth Heaven is Expansive Heaven, Seventh Heaven is Reduce Heaven, Eighth Heaven is Sinking Heaven, Ninth Heaven is Complete Heaven.
Envy Heaven Ridge is actually Second Heaven.
Second Heaven, towering ten thousand meters, with turbulent airflows and chaotic Spiritual Energy, increasing Mana consumption.
Thus, Envy Heaven Ridge stands like a natural barrier here.
Beyond Envy Heaven Ridge, the vast landscape of Central Spirit Domain unfolds before the eyes.
Today, the weather at Envy Heaven Ridge is exceptionally good, with clear skies stretching for miles.
A gentle breeze blew through, with the chirping of insects and the rustling of the pine forest in the mountain ridge.
Outside Envy Heaven Ridge lies a small town built upon the mountain, named Heavenly Ridge City.
Rely on the mountain for sustenance, rely on the sea for sustenance.
As usual, many small cultivators or loose cultivators, taking advantage of the favorable season, leave Heavenly Ridge City to head towards Envy Heaven Ridge, attempting to pick some Spiritual Medicine for cultivation resources.
Zhang Tie was one of them.
However, he felt today’s Envy Heaven Ridge seemed extremely eerie.
Where is the eeriness?
He couldn’t say for a moment.
If he couldn’t figure it out, he chose not to dwell on it.
A small person’s thoughts are simple.
Thus, he continued to climb the mountain.
Envy Heaven Ridge is very high, and his cultivation is insufficient to reach the summit.
However, the base of the mountain has long been dug deeply by nearby cultivators, making it difficult to find even a passable Spiritual Medicine.
Therefore, he had to reach the halfway point.
Which is nearly five thousand meters high, not a simple task for him, but fortunately, he practiced a good escape technique.
——Without this escape technique, he wouldn’t be able to make a living.
Just after finding a good spot and preparing to start his work, Zhang Tie suddenly felt his vision blur, and the forest bathed in sunlight was suddenly enveloped in shadow.
He instinctively raised his head.
In the mottled early sunlight, Zhang Tie saw countless figures, endless and unbounded.
Those figures were actually not humans.
They looked diverse, extremely fierce and sinister, with rushing Demonic Qi all over them, swarming in like locusts.
Not a locust plague, a demon plague.
At this moment, Zhang Tie finally realized where the eeriness lay.
Too quiet.
The past chorus of demon beast roars in Envy Heaven Ridge had not been heard even once today.
The Demon Race and demonic cultivators, like a tide, were flying towards Central Spirit Domain.
As for Zhang Tie, he had no chance to resist and was engulfed, turning into a burst of blood mist.
Central Spirit Domain is on the verge of destruction.
It seems no one or nothing can stop this from happening.
........
At this moment, Lu Qingshan had returned alone to the Sword Sect.
On the vast snowy plain, the majestic Inverted Mountain range lay as if an Azure Dragon sprawling grandly.
Seven giant mountains like sword bones on the dragon’s back pierce the sky.
Lu Qingshan was unaware of what was happening within the Sword Sect, but Xie Qingyun had entrusted this matter to him, so he returned.
Now that he is back, the matter should settle.
Qing Peak is Lu Qingshan’s peak.
However, his familiarity with Qing Peak was even lesser than his master Xia Daoyun’s Sword Coming Peak.
Because it had been a very short, insignificant time since he ascended to Void Refining and established the peak.
The Sword Sect is seen as the most united sect, with almost no internal disputes.
This is because disputes often stem from conflicts of interest.
However, Sword Cultivators of the Sword Sect only focus on swords.
The strength of the Sword Sect ensures that its Sword Cultivators never lack resources.
Hence, there’s no contention.
The Sword Sect’s Sword Cultivators are the strongest sword cultivators in the world.
Strong sword cultivators often share similarities in certain aspects.
Those of different paths do not collaborate; those of the same path find mutual joy.
Thus, they complement each other.
Given this, what is the different voice arising within the Sword Sect now?
Lu Qingshan does not know yet.
But he will soon find out.
He boldly entered Qing Peak, announcing his return to the Sword Sect’s Sword Cultivators.
In Qing Peak.
His two young disciples, Lin Chuyi and Lin Shiwu, were practicing swords.
Their faces flushed red, exceptionally focused, so they did not notice their master’s arrival.
Lu Qingshan did not disturb them verbally, he simply hovered in waiting, seemingly waiting for something.
He knows better than anyone the terror of the Demon Race, so he has been endlessly growing.
He thought he had more time, but unexpectedly, the battle of Central Spirit Domain broke out so suddenly, a mountain-like pressure landed early upon his shoulders.
Swish swish swish!
Sword Light from all over the Sword Sect soared into the sky, converging towards Qing Peak.
Reflected in nearly a foggy-white atmosphere, the sword light dispersed seven-colored mist, exceptionally beautiful.
Like thousands of rainbows converging at a single point.
