There are 36 islands in the East China Sea, in addition to the most prestigious Biyou Island, there is also an island of sword mounds, on which more than 100,000 swords are buried, and in the middle of it is an active volcano, which is rarely uninhabited all year round.

This is the retreat place of Shangguan Xianchen, the sect master of the Sword Sect, since the battle of East Kunlun, Shangguan Xianchen, who had reversed the qi in his body, returned to retreat here, combed the qi in his body, and recovered his injuries at the same time.

Today, after nearly a year, the world's first person has finally re-emerged.

After experiencing this ordeal, Shangguan Xianchen is different from before, if the previous Shangguan Xianchen is a sword that rushes straight into the nine skies, and it is full of grandeur, then the current Shangguan Xianchen is more like being put into the sheath and returning to the basics.

Closed and cultivated, maybe this great sword immortal is not far from that immortal realm.

From the pass of the active volcano, there is a cliff extending outward in the belly of the mountain, and under the cliff is the rolling magma and fire, and at this time there are two people sitting opposite each other under the cliff, it is Shangguan Xianchen and Gongsun Zhongmou, the master and apprentice.

Shangguan Xianchen was still in a cold posture with white hair and a shawl, and the Zhu Xian, who was stained with the blood of several free immortals, was on his lap, and slowly asked, "I heard that Bo Fu went?" Gongsun Zhongmou, who was wearing a black and white wide-sleeved robe, bowed his head slightly, and replied in a low voice: "My brother went on the night of the third day of the lunar month, he was already weak and sickly, and he had been working hard in the case all these years, which was caused by exhaustion, and the disciple had already finished taking care of his brother's funeral. ”

Everyone in the world knows Gongsun Zhongmou, the first disciple of the Sword Sect, but few people know that Gongsun Zhongmou also has a brother-in-law named Gongsun Bofu.

When Shangguan Xianchen killed Xu Lin and first ascended to the position of the sect leader of the Sword Sect, people's hearts were unstable, so he intended to accept a descendant of the Zhang family and the Gongsun family as apprentices in exchange for the support of the two families. Needless to say, the head of the family has only one daughter, Zhang Xueyao, who is naturally indisputable, but there are two people on the Gongsun family's side, who are the two brothers Gongsun Bofu and Gongsun Zhongmou, who are compatriots in the same mother.

For Shangguan Xianchen, he actually prefers the open-minded Gongsun Bofu rather than the slightly gloomy Gongsun Zhongmou, but Gongsun Bofu voluntarily withdrew and gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to his brother. It is precisely because of this incident that even Gongsun Zhongmou's yin temperament is also moved, and the relationship between the two brothers, who were originally slightly estranged, is getting better, which also makes the old head of the Gongsun family, who has always been worried about the two brothers causing trouble to Xiao Wall, feel very gratified.

Since five years ago, the head of the Gongsun family, that is, the father of the two brothers died, Gongsun Bofu officially took over the position of the head of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Zhongmou put all his energy into the sect, and did not care much about the affairs of the family, and even did not return to the home located in Weiguo for several years, until the bad news came, Gongsun Zhongmou hurried back to the ancestral house of the Gongsun family, but at that time Gongsun Bofu was already lying in the coffin, and he could only stand in the mourning hall.

I don't know if it's providence to make people, Gongsun Bofu left too suddenly, it was in response to the sentence "Xiaolai Qingjing added snow, went to bed and said goodbye to shoes", Gongsun Bofu never woke up from this sleep, and the two brothers didn't see the last face.

Shangguan Xianchen had a slight look of rare regret, sighed softly, and didn't say anything.

Gongsun Zhongmou asked softly: "Master, since you have already glimpsed the mysteries of the Immortal Realm, but there is still a short time to go, why don't you wait a few more years and wait until you really set foot in the Immortal Realm, who in this world can compete with the Master?"

Shangguan Xianchen shook his head and said: "The general trend is like this, I can wait, Xiao Yu and Lu Qian can't wait, if I blindly retreat, when I leave the customs, the overall situation of the world has been decided, what is the use of me even if I am in the realm of immortality? ”

Gongsun Zhongmou then asked: "Can't my Sword Sect transcend the world, and I have to set foot in the muddy waters of the Central Plains?" Fu Chen is a scheming person, conspiring with him is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger, I am afraid that our Sword Sect will eventually make a wedding dress for others. ”

Shangguan Xianchen said calmly: "Other sects may have the possibility of watching from the wall, but our Sword Sect is absolutely impossible, since the ancestor of my sect broke with the Dao Sect a thousand years ago, the two sects of the Sword Dao are an endless situation, if the millennium plan is the first major event for the Dao Sect, then destroying the Sword Sect is second only to the millennium plan." If we watch from the wall this time, Fu Chen and the others will definitely be defeated, and at that time, the Dao Sect will take advantage of the general trend of the world to destroy my Sword Sect, even if the teacher can protect the sect for a while, but the immortal realm cannot stay in the world for a long time after all, after the death of the teacher, how can you resist the menacing Dao Sect?"

Shangguan Xianchen said softly: "My Sword Sect has always been the sect master, that is, half of the Sword Sect, you have now set foot in the realm of heaven and man, for your age, it is already commendable, but now the situation in the world is changing rapidly, a realm of heaven and man is far from enough, even the ordinary realm of freedom is not enough, you still have a long way to go, if you put this huge sword sect on your body as a teacher, can you hold it up?"

Gongsun Zhongmou was speechless, and could only shake his head silently.

Shangguan Xianchen said calmly: "So I must go to this battle, and I must win, because for our Sword Sect, this battle is not a battle for the general trend of the world, but a battle of life and death, for the division to use this battle to lay the twenty years of peace in my Sword Sect, and wait until you can set foot in the realm of freedom, can inherit the immortal in the hands of the master, can pick up the burden of the Sword Sect, and can ensure that the incense of the Sword Sect continues." ”

Gongsun Zhongmou was a little depressed and muttered, "Yes." ”

Shangguan Xianchen, who was originally sitting cross-legged, stood up, and Zhu Xian, who was like a living creature, followed upright.

As Shangguan Xianchen got up, the thousands of burial swords on the entire Sword Mound Island trembled in unison, and countless wisps of cyan sword qi rushed up from all directions, cutting the white clouds on the canopy to pieces, and then rendering the entire sky into a cyan.

Shangguan Xianchen dusted off the dust on his white robe and said softly, "It's time, it's time for me to go." ”

Gongsun Zhongmou also got up, gathered his sleeves solemnly, touched the ground, and said solemnly word by word: "Disciple Gongsun Zhongmou, send off the master!"

The next moment, Shangguan Xianchen's figure swayed up, like a flying sword flashing away, passing through the entire active volcano and standing above the sky of the East China Sea.

This time, he didn't step on ten thousand swords to go to sea, but he walked alone in the air, but he alone was worth more than ten million swords!

Qinghong came from the East China Sea, but this time, there was no purple qi coming from the west.

Then in this world, who can stop this first person in the world?!
