In the early hours of the morning, in the Wanxiang Garden above Liantian City, the bright moonlight was cast down, reflecting the silver light everywhere.

Wang Jiu walked out of the room, stepping on the silver frost on the ground, and looking at the bright moon overhead.

This round of bright moon, which is quite different from the Kyushu era, used to seem so strange, but now it is also cordial.

In the blink of an eye, it's been a year.

A year ago, a crisp and energetic girl's voice woke him up from his 10,000-year slumber and brought him a new world of life.

Now he has gradually adapted to life in Xiangzhou, and he has also adapted to a world without demons and without the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

According to an old friend, the original life goals have been achieved, and it is time to think about new goals.

For example, someone suggested that he find a girlfriend and study the reproductive behavior between the sword and the human......

Of course, Wang Jiu was not prepared to take the suggestion from an old friend, as a perfect thing without the concept of gender, it would undoubtedly be a blasphemy to impose the reproductive behavior of a defective creature like a human being.

Of course, Wang Jiu had no interest in self-desecration, so the kindness of his old friend could only be appreciated, if she was really persistent, Wang Jiu would consider refining her into a sword as well, so that she could also experience the beauty of a perfect superior creature firsthand. At that time, I believe that she will no longer be obsessed with low-level interests.

But that's all for later, for now......

Lowering his head and looking at the quiet scenery in the Wanxiang Garden, Wang Jiu once again had a slight sense of subtlety. As one of the holy places of human civilization, there is always a faint smell of demons here.

This connection was very weak, and it was obviously from the influence of the original sect master, and it would not pose an actual threat, so Wang Jiu didn't plan to make a big deal about it, but as an absolute expert in slaying demons and demons, he was still a little uncomfortable in such an environment.

However, if he inherits the position of the sect master and becomes the master of the Holy Sect and even the world, this Wanxiang Garden will become his territory, and every grass and tree will be at his mercy, and Wang Jiu has already planned to transform this place into a Ten Thousand Swords Amusement Park.

This is a treatment that Wang Jiu has never enjoyed.

During the human period, he grew up in a sword sect with strict rules, starting from a small boy and growing all the way to the chief disciple, and then left the sect to enter the broader world...... But from beginning to end, in the strict rules, he has never really belonged to his own side of the world.

The only sword that belongs to him is the sword in his hand - no, strictly speaking, even the sword in his hand is the sect, and the only thing that belongs to him is the sword in his heart, the invisible sword given by the unique sword pool between heaven and earth. Later, he became a master of swordsmanship, broke away from the sect and became his own faction, and he was also home from all over the world.

It's a strange concept to belong to your own home. And this Wanxiang Garden, even from the perspective of the Kyushu era, can be called exquisite and beautiful.

This is where the Holy Sect's headquarters is located, a transparent garden that quietly hovers over Liantian City, the area is not large, and the number of people that can accommodate it is quite limited, including the regular reserved hospitality land, this sky garden can only accommodate a few hundred people.

For so many years, the Holy Sect had never considered expanding the Wanxiang Garden, even if the technology and resources had already been spared, the Holy Sect would rather limit his number than expand the Wanxiang Garden at all. This kind of restraint and self-restraint originated from the ancestors of the saints, and it is also one of the reasons why the prestige of the Holy Sect has not declined for 2,000 years.

But this is clearly only a superficial reason.

The Holy Sect's Wanxiang Garden was built 2,000 years ago, and it is a miracle that transcends the times that the two sect masters of the Holy Sect can only create by taking the relics of the flood wilderness. At that time, Wanxiangyuan was also vast enough for the Holy Sect - the entire Holy Sect numbered less than fifteen people, and these people were enough to manage the newly formed Xiangzhou civilization.

However, with the rapid development of Xiangzhou, the seven great families left Liantian City separately and went to different regions to pioneer and establish new civilization bases, and the Holy Sect's manpower was overstretched.

When everyone was in Heavenly City, the sect master could contact whoever he wanted to contact and shout loudly so that the other party could hear it, but when Qingyun City, Tiangong City and other border cities were built one after another, and a large number of people began to migrate, the Holy Sect wanted to contact those masters of the family, so he could only use expensive letters or send messengers to go.

The world is so big, with the strength of more than 100 people from the Holy Sect, it is impossible to properly manage it anymore.

Therefore, the Holy Sect has basically only complicated the control of the overall strategy of Xiangzhou over the years, and the detailed implementation is basically the autonomy of the seven major families, and the three courts are responsible for handling it.

Therefore, some people say that it is not the high-ranking Holy Sect that really controls Xiangzhou, but the Three Courts.

Now what the Holy Sect Sect Master has asked him to deal with is also the issue of the Three Courts.

The inheritance of the Qinglian Sword Academy was unexpectedly severed, and it was necessary to find someone to reverse deduce the Qinglian Sword Code as soon as possible to ensure the balance of power between the three academies - although they were under the leadership of the Holy Sect, the competition and contradictions between the three academies had never stopped, and for two thousand years, they had relied on the efforts of many parties to maintain the balance of power between the three academies to ensure the peace and stability of the entire continent. Now that the Qinglian Sword Academy is obviously at a low ebb, the Holy Sect naturally has to spare no effort to support it.

As for the deduction of the Qinglian Sword Codex, Wang Jiu has not seen detailed information yet, but from the overview, it is not a particularly difficult thing to restore, its core system is built from the heritage of the flood era, and that is exactly what Wang Jiu is best at, as long as he gets the sword atlas derived from the Qinglian Sword Codex, Wang Jiu is confident that he will deduce a perfect set of original sword books within three days - it may be different from the original Qinglian Sword Codex, but the effect must be on a higher level.

Just as he was thinking of this, Wang Jiu suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from behind him.

Shen Qingming's unique pace and rhythm, Wang Jiu will definitely not be mistaken.

"Good evening, light tea."

"Ah Jiu, good evening." There was a thick tiredness in the girl's voice, it was just five words, and she couldn't help but yawn when she said it.

Shen Qingming rubbed her eyes and asked, "You don't rest so late...... Thinking about the suzerain? ”

"Hmm." Wang Jiu nodded in acknowledgement.

Shen Qingming's face immediately became heavy.

Things really went badly.

——

Two days ago, Wang Jiu and the others returned from the Golden Cloud Peak Ruins, and then the Holy Sect Master treated them as guests and placed them in the Wanxiang Garden for a temporary stay.

For this reason, it has also caused a lot of discussion. The fact that an outsider is staying in the Wanxiang Garden, the headquarters of the Holy Sect, as a guest is enough news to be included in the annual memorabilia. Because of the tight demand of Wanxiangyuan, people all over the mainland know it. Even those famous heads of the Seven Great Families may not be destined to live in Wanxiang Garden when they come to Heavenly City. And among the three people in this line, only Zhao Shenlu seems to be barely qualified, and the other two look strange.

Of course, the Holy Sect Sect Master naturally doesn't need to explain anything to others, but strange things are strange after all, the Sect Master always has a reason to do things, and at this time, an incredible news circulated.

The Holy Sect Sect Master intended to pass on the position to Wang Jiu.

Although it was only a completely unverifiable gossip, the spread of the news caused a great commotion. As we all know, the lineage of the Holy Sect Master does not require any complicated procedures, as long as the Sect Master himself recognizes and imparts his true blood, the succession is completed. And the sect master's assessment of the successor is also completely subjective, there is no hard standard, to put it to the extreme, if the sect master looks at it well, no one can stop him from passing the position to a dog.

It's just that in the past two thousand years, the successive sect masters of the Holy Sect have never made such a ridiculous move, on the contrary, they have chosen their heirs more carefully than anyone else, so that the Holy Sect often encounters the risk of breaking the dynasty. And the heirs who were finally selected were all convincing to the hearts of the world.

But this time the situation is very special, Wang Jiu's true identity is still a secret to most people, in the eyes of the world, this is a well-known family guest in Qingyun City, how can He De take over as the Holy Sect Master?

Similar problems actually plagued Shen Qingming.

Holy Sect Master? Just with that so-called extraterrestrial divine sword that can kill people's hearts? Is the end of Xiangzhou coming?

And the more important question is: if he really takes over as the sect master, next, will he return to Qingyun City and continue to be the guest secretary of the Li family?

will also return to Shen Yuan to be Shen Qingming's ...... The host?

——

"Of course not."

Regarding the girl's tangled questions, Wang Jiu gave a categorical answer.

Then facing the pale Shen Qingming, Wang Jiu patiently explained.

"The Holy Sect Sect Master is a very important job, related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of people in Xiangzhou, and it requires me to invest a lot of energy. So I'm definitely going to sit in Liantian City to ensure that I'm productive. If you live far away in Qingyun City, you will inevitably delay the opportunity when you encounter urgent work. Moreover, even the Heavenly City is connected to the entrance of the most desolate ruins, so settling here is also more convenient for me to use my spare time to find clues to the Nine Immortals. ”

This explanation was reasonable, and Shen Qingming couldn't object, so he said, "That...... I'll stay in Liantian City with you. ”

Wang Jiu suddenly said in surprise: "You want to stay in Liantian City?" Why? ”

"For the sake of ...... Learn about Liantian City's advanced immortal cultivation culture up close? ”

"Okay, then you stay."

"Wait, did you accept this setting so easily?!"

Wang Jiu said strangely: "Isn't it? So what did you stay for? ”

"It's for ......" Shen Qingming suddenly blushed a little, hating himself for being too talkative, what's wrong with that setting just now?!

With a bit of girlish shyness, Shen Qingming said: "It's to take care of you, a stupid sword outside the world who doesn't understand the world, although you have superior intelligence, but you are not suitable for human society, you need someone to take care of you so that you don't make jokes." ”

Wang Jiu said: "This problem is indeed very serious, so I have asked a professional to help, and the sect master promised me that I will be equipped with a professional female secretary before I officially take office......

"That professional female secretary can't be surnamed Zhao, right!?"
