Silently following behind the old man, walking on the stone steps that he had walked on many times, Jian Lingtian's thoughts became heavier and heavier.

Finally, the stone staircase road came to an end.

Jian Ling Tian followed the old man to the top of this sword peak, and the sky was within reach, and the sea of clouds spread for many miles in his field of vision.

"Ling Tian, why did you want to become a swordsman?" the old man suddenly turned around and asked.

Jian Ling Tian was slightly stunned.

Why become a swordsman ......?

Since he was a child, he has been tested for extremely high martial arts cultivation talent, and everyone is expecting him to become a professional and create the glory of an era again.

The father is looking forward to it, and the mother is looking forward to it...... Even the old man in front of him, his grandfather, the Starry Sky Sword God Sword Star God was looking forward to it.

"I ...... I don't know ......" Jian Ling Tian was surprised to find that he had never thought about why he had become a swordsman.

Yes, it seems that my life so far has been planned, how to practice, how to fight, how to train...... Even the concept of honor and disgrace and the outlook on life were established under the influence of his grandfather's sword star god......

Is this kind of self really yourself?

"Your light and dark constitution is the most suitable constitution to accept my inheritance. The Sword Star God whispered, "It is difficult for a dual-attribute physique to appear, but rare does not necessarily mean good, your physique is light and darkness that are opposed to each other, as long as you start to practice, the true qi with opposite attributes of the two attributes will make you explode and die." So I asked someone to use a secret method to fuse the [Qiankun Sword] into your body, and under the effect of the Qiankun Sword, you can embark on the path of cultivation. ”

"My physique ......," Jian Ling Tian muttered to himself.

"Ling Tian, although your talent is strong, you have overlooked a problem, which is also the reason why you have been unable to complete the [Advanced] for a long time. ”

"You don't have a goal, so your sword is weak. Sword Star God said lightly.

“...... No, I have a goal, I want to be a sword god like you, I ......" Jian Ling Tian shook his head vigorously.

"No, Ling Tian, that's the goal we gave you, not what you wanted. After you embark on the path of cultivation, every step is planned by us for you, you have completed it perfectly, but it is too perfect, if you continue like this, you will only become another [Starry Sky Sword God], Ling Tian, what do you really want?"

“......”

Jian Ling Tian was silent, his eyes full of confusion.

"Ling Tian, you have to go your own way, you have to know exactly what you are holding the sword for. ”

Looking at Jian Ling Tian, who was gradually falling into contemplation, the old but still upright figure of the Sword Star God walked towards the only bamboo building above the Sword Peak.

There was nothing in the bamboo building except a chair, and the old man slowly sat down on the chair, but took out a square metal block from his arms.

There was a slight halo of light on the surface of the metal block, and then a clear light appeared, and the figure of a man appeared in the light and shadow.

"Seniors. The man in the projection of light bowed slightly.

"Wan Qianyu is here with me, you don't have to worry, at least in Sword Mountain, she won't cause any disaster. Sword Star God said lightly.

"The seniors have made a guarantee, and the younger generations are naturally relieved. The man's light and shadow bowed slightly.

A little confused, he walked down to the top of the Sword Peak, and Jian Ling Tian quickly found the Sword Spirit Heart and Wan Qianyu who had been waiting for a long time in the [Cloud Cliff] halfway up the mountain.

"Brother, your hand is ......" Jian Lingxin hurriedly leaned over.

"Out of the way. Jian Ling Tian put away his thoughts slightly, and then showed a smile.

Jian Lingxin grabbed Jian Lingtian's only left hand a little helplessly, and complained in a low voice, "You know that you are strong." ”

"Brother Ling Tian should take good care of his body. Wan Qianyu also trotted in front of him at this time.

Looking at the two girls in front of him, Jian Lingtian smiled silently.

"By the way, Lingxin, why did you become a swordsman?" Jian Ling Tian suddenly asked.

"......" Jian Lingxin was also stunned for a moment, and then said without hesitation, "Because brother, you are a swordsman." ”

The reason for this......

Jian Ling Tian helplessly touched the little head of Jian Lingxin.

Am I saying the same thing?

Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa...... They are all professionals of the swordsman line...... That's why I became a swordsman, and I want to be a ...... Swordsman?

Wrong.

That's not true.

"Brother, why are you asking this?" Jian Lingxin asked with curiosity.

Jian Lingtian was silent for a while, the bright and gentle smile of the girl in front of him was so beautiful, it would be nice if it could go on like this......

What ...... do I want?

Yes, what I want is not the peace of the world, I am not the saint who saves the world, what I want is actually very simple.

Well, I see.

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in the depths of Jian Lingtian's eyes.

"Lingxin, I want to hold the sword for you, that's why I became a swordsman!" said Jian Ling Tian with a smile.

Sword Lingxin's little face turned red in an instant.

It's so strange, brother, why are you suddenly saying this...... Qian Yu is still listening...... So shy...... Good...... Said happily.

Palace.

This is the palace located in the center of Xingzhu City, and hundreds of people have gathered in the golden and glorious sacred hall.

These people are the only powerful people in the Star Bamboo Empire today.

Today is a rare [court].

The management mechanism of the Xingzhu Empire is actually very loose, most of the things are handled by officials at all levels, and only when something big happens, the [Imperial Hall] will be held in the imperial palace, which is a meeting between the emperor and his most trusted ministers.

But today's [Imperial Hall] is very special, in the past, only ministers located in the Imperial Palace would participate...... And this time, the governor of the three realms of the east, west, and south, the general of the four major armies of the east, west, south, and north, and the patriarch of the four major families of Moye Wanli...... Almost all of them were big shots on the Megatron side, and the leaders of the entire Xingzhu Empire gathered in this palace.

The light and shadow in front of the young emperor dissipated slightly, and he slowly got up, his majestic gaze sweeping over the ministers below.

"The Starry Sky Sword God has made a guarantee, we don't have to worry about the situation of the [End] rampage for the time being, and next, let's get to the point. The young emperor's steady but powerful voice echoed clearly in the empty hall.

Many ministers were stunned, most of them thought that this gathering was to discuss how to retrieve the [End] from Sword Mountain, but they didn't expect that this was just a trivial matter before the matter that was about to be discussed.

"The [Necromantic Tribulation] that invaded the southern border of our country has faded half a month ago, and the [Shelter Plan] set up by General Zhao in the face of danger has been a great success, and ten shelters have survived until the rescue arrives, General Zhao, you have done a very good job this time, and the special bounty is one million. ”

General Zhao hurriedly half-knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty." ”

"The Necromantic Tribulation has brought a terrible disaster, the King of the Southern Realm, you should appease the people well, but the Necromantic Tribulation has not completely faded, you go back and organize the survivors to migrate to the East, West and North Realms, and at the same time, in order to prevent the undead from rioting again, build a better defense line with Frostleaf City as the center. ”

The King of the Southern Realm, that is, the Governor of the Southern Realm, a middle-aged man dressed in a gorgeous costume bowed slightly, "Obey." ”

"King of the West, King of the East, you ......" The young emperor methodically announced one decision after another, however, most of the ministers had a shocked and incredulous look on their faces, and it grew stronger and stronger as the emperor's orders continued to be announced.
