Chapter 1: Legends
Three thousand years ago, the top of Kunlun.
The white-haired sword god stood in the cold wind, his sideburns and eyebrows were covered with wind and frost, and his eyes were blurred by the snow, but he could not disturb the cold long sword in his hand.
White-clothed hunter, tall and thin, but like a towering mountain, standing tall.
Behind him was a vast sea of people.
In the extreme cold of the extreme west of this continent, it was originally a place that was rarely visited by people, but today too many people want to come here to see what it is like to only exist in the legend of the feather ascending immortal?
In front of him is a ladder that goes straight up to the clouds, flickering and flickering, not really enough, like a mirage in the desert.
Who knows how high the ladder is and how many steps there are?
Because since ancient times, those who stepped on the ladder of heaven have died, and the dry bones of those who died are now placed on the first step of the ladder of heaven.
According to the perception of this world, it is true that no one who has climbed the ladder has ever climbed the second step, but has died on the first step.
Each step of the staircase was so wide that it was at least ten zhang long just by looking at it, but even so, the bones of the dead were almost all over the first step.
It has been a thousand years since the last person who climbed the ladder, and no one dared to climb the ladder again for thousands of years, until today, the sword god has ascended to the sky.
Those who climb the ladder of heaven can become immortals, this is a legend that has been circulating since I don't know when, although it is only a legend, but the world believes in it, the reason is not complicated, it is just because they prefer to believe that it is true.
The world needs a hope, a slim hope to get rid of the suffering of birth, old age, sickness and death.
And this hope is pinned on the old sword god by everyone today.
The sword qi gradually dispersed, and the sword god's body was steaming up, and the wind and frost on the corners of his temples and eyebrows were melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wind and snow in the sky could no longer stay on him.
Wind and snow do not add to the body
The sword god who had been standing for a long time finally moved, he raised his head, and his gaze went up the ladder of heaven, as if he could pass through the heavy green clouds and reach the ninefold heaven.
Just when everyone behind him was amazed by the miracle of the sword god, the sword god said something for no reason, as if he was responding to everyone's expectations, but it was like telling the heavenly immortals
"Immortals, true immortals? I wanted to try it out for myself. ”
With that, he moved, his white clothes trembled, and his figure disappeared from the eyes of the crowd, and after two more breaths, his figure suddenly appeared in front of the ladder.
Everyone behind him exclaimed, although the sword god had not yet climbed the ladder, but just before he showed the miracle of wind and snow without adding to his body, and now his ghostly body like changing shapes and shadows, in the eyes of the world, this is no different from an immortal.
The Sword God did not step directly on the ladder, because he felt an invisible barrier blocking his way, and it was precisely because of this barrier that from a distance, the ladder seemed to flicker.
He slowly raised his left hand, and his fingertips tapped the barrier, causing ripples, and the sword qi scattered, hitting the barrier again and again, and it didn't take long to tear the barrier apart.
"Bang!"
The barrier broke, and he slammed his foot on the first step, and an invisible pressure suddenly hit him, as if it was about to squash him directly.
Now he knew why those who ascended to the sky would die on the first step, if it was easy to break the barrier, but under such pressure, even the most powerful martial arts master in the world would still be directly crushed into pulp.
However, he is not among them, as a sword god, he is known as a god who uses swords, and he is not the same as a secular master, otherwise, how can he be the word sword god.
Swing your sword with your right hand and slash lightly
"Bang!"
A dull sound of breaking barriers sounded, and the heavy pressure on the steps dissipated in an instant.
With just one sword, the rules were changed, and this was his realm at this time, the realm of gods.
The gods who are beyond the understanding of the world, who walk in the mortal world, have been the only ones who have achieved this realm throughout the ages.
In the eyes of the world, the realm of the sword god may be rival to the immortals and demons.
Therefore, the world's expectations for the Sword God are far higher than those dry bones on the first steps, too much.
"Bang!"
The sword god's other foot also stepped on the steps, and at this time he was firmly on the steps, and in the distance behind him, the sea of people was boiling, and the exclamations shook the sky.
But instead of quickly preparing to ascend the second step, he sat down cross-legged and fell into meditation.
The sea of people gradually subsided, and the sound of wind and snow filled the sky and the earth again......
For a whole day, the sword god sat cross-legged on the first step of the stairs, motionless.
By the time he stood up again, it was already the early morning of the second day, and he had been gathering momentum for a whole day, his spirit and spirit had reached his peak state, the long sword in his hand had risen again, and the sword qi on his body was more outgoing and stronger than yesterday
"Huh!"
I saw him shout, the long sword pointed at the green clouds, bursting out with immeasurable might, the long sword pointed at, the green clouds scattered, and the momentum soared straight into the nine skies, shaking the heavens.
"Wow!"
The long sword slashed down with momentum, and the sword light extended towards the second layer of steps, and the barrier in front of the second layer of steps was easily cut off by the sword light like an ordinary screen! A huge hole was opened, and the sword light continued to extend upward
"Bang!"
The dull sound of breaking the barrier came again, and the heavy pressure space on the second step was cut through by the sword light, and what was even more terrifying was that the sword light was not affected in the slightest, and continued to extend towards the top of the ladder
"Wow!" "Bang! ”
The third staircase was broken by the light of the sword
"Wow!" "Bang! ”
The fourth staircase was broken
"Wow!" "Bang! ”
This is followed by the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors.......
The sword light extended upwards to countless steps, until it was submerged in the green clouds, and everyone could still faintly hear the sound of breaking the barrier.
A sword broke the ladder, and the legend of the sword god began to circulate today.
The sword god no longer lingered, and a dodge disappeared on the first step of the stairs, and when he reappeared, he was already standing on top of hundreds of steps, and then he disappeared again, this time crossing hundreds of steps.
disappeared and reappeared dozens of times in a row, and the figure of the sword god finally disappeared in the eyes of the world, and disappeared into the clouds.
In the distance, the sea of people boiled again, and many sentient beings knelt down to the ladder of heaven, pilgrimage, and the mountain shouted the sword god.
Until seven days later, the beings did not disperse for a long time, admiring this miracle that had never been seen for thousands of years.
But on this day, there was a miracle above the green clouds, and a majestic voice came down from the nine heavens
"Mortal, you are here to become an immortal?"
Immediately after, the voice of the old sword god also came faintly
"I'm confused. Dare to ask, will the immortals die? ”
The heavenly court was furious, there was lightning and thunder above the green clouds, and the human world received the last words passed down by the sword god and a book of kendo cheats.
"From today on, my sword god will establish a sword pavilion in the world, and I am willing to open a sect for my disciples, and spread it for eternity!"
……
After a long, long time, silence returned to the outside of the sky, and there was only wind and snow left in the world, and no one knew what the result of the sword god's ascension to the sky was, whether he was dead? Or have you become an immortal?
It's just that from today onwards, there is a powerful sect in the world, the Sword Pavilion.
………………
Eight hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the wheel of history has remained on this day, leaving a rutted mark similar to that of 800 years ago.
On the bank of the Chijiang River, Liu Yidao, who had been sitting here for thirty years, finally opened his eyes slowly on this day.
The red robe is as bright as the water of the Chijiang River, and the long beard on his face reminds him of how many spring and autumn have passed in the world.
Since thirty years ago, when he was only ten years old, he repelled the Sword Pavilion Contemporary Sword Sect with one sword, and he was called invincible in the world.
But he knew that he would die eventually, and a dead person would have no meaning to be invincible.
The ladder to the far west of the continent was there, and everyone had been waiting for him since he was ten years old, waiting for him to go up and kill him, just like the one eight hundred years ago.
He didn't do that, he wanted to come to the south, to the bank of the Chijiang River, where the portal of the legendary Demon Sect was located.
He tried many ways to open the door of the Demon Sect, but there was no response.
So, he retreated on the bank of the Chijiang River and sat there for thirty years.
On this day, he finally broke the pass and decided to detain it again.
The wind was strong by the river, and his face was a little deformed.
I saw him stand up slowly, and his left hand swiped lightly towards the void, but it seemed that an invisible long knife appeared, cutting towards the Chijiang River, the original turbulent Chijiang River was strangely calm, and then, something terrible happened, the Chijiang River was actually divided into two by his knife, and there was a big open space in the middle of the Chijiang River, and the river on both sides was directly cut by the invisible long knife.
A knife cut off the flow of water, the first time he shot in thirty years, it was far better than back then, if thirty years ago, the Sword Sect of the Sword Pavilion was facing this sword, I am afraid that the bones would be directly gone.
At this moment, the mutation was abrupt, and the Chijiang River, which had been cut apart, reunited in an instant, as if nothing had happened, Liu Yidao's expression changed, his eyebrows were full of fighting spirit, and his right hand waved back, "Peng!" With a sound, a long knife broke out of the ground not far behind him, flew into his hand, and the right hand that took the long knife did not make any stops, and swung it directly forward, the knife intent spread, and the long knife was like a huge hammer smashed directly into the river, as if to smash the entire Chijiang River.
"Boom!"
Splashing monstrous waves, stirring up the entire Chijiang River, Liu Yidao still did not stop, he withdrew the long knife, but then another knife smashed forward
"Boom!"
There was a bigger splash, and then another knife, another knife, and another knife, and he seemed to have to crush the entire Chijiang River.
"Boom!"
I don't know how many knives later, Chijiang seems to have really been smashed by Liu's knife, the heart of the river gradually recessed, and the water flow gradually disappeared, revealing an old stone door.
Liu stepped out step by step, stepped on the river with both feet, only to see him walking on the river as if he were walking on the ground, slowly walking towards the stone gate step by step, walking to the stone gate, he swung the knife again, and the door was blasted open with a knife, and he jumped into the door without stopping............
More than a month later, a young man passed by the Chijiang River and picked up a book of knives and a letter.
The epistle reads:
My knife god willow a knife, now break the door of the demon sect and enter, leave the knife spectrum in the world, there is a fate to get my knife spectrum, you can rely on this to open the mountain, set up the knife door, and pass it on to future generations.
A few years later, a new sect arose on the rivers and lakes, called Daomen.
………………
Time flies, and another 300 years later
Today is a big day for Jiajiazhuang.
Old lady Jia got up early, rinsed her mouth, took the sweat towel handed by the maid on the side, and carefully wiped her face in the bronze mirror.
The little maid serving beside him smiled softly and quipped
"Old lady, if you wash so carefully every day, we will be able to avoid a lot of scolding from the owner."
Old lady Jia was still carefully wiping his face, and his eyes were still reluctant to leave the bronze mirror, but when he heard this, he scolded with a smile
"Okay, you little peach, you really haven't opened the house for three days, even I dare to joke...... But old lady, I'm in a good mood today, so I don't care about you little girl. ”
When Little Peach heard this, the smile on her lips became even stronger
"Yes, yes, you, you are the old lady of Jiajiazhuang, how can you worry about my little maid all day long, but if you don't leave, you won't be able to see the little master."
The old lady was startled and hurriedly threw down the sweat towel on her hand
"Oops! Then don't hurry up and change my clothes for the old lady! What if I missed seeing my eldest grandson? ”
There is an empty school field in Jiajiazhuang, which is usually used for the children in the village to practice martial arts.
Mrs. Jia hurriedly rushed to the outside of the school with the little peach, but at this time, the school was surrounded by women, children, children and subordinates in the village.
"The old lady is here."
Little Peach shouted softly, and the people around her took the initiative to get out of the way.
The old lady walked forward anxiously, asking the person who gave way as she went
"How's it going, is my grandson still there?"
A subordinate whispered back
"The little master is still here."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and her pace slowed down slightly.
Finally walked to the edge of the school field, the old lady no longer walked inside, and the surrounding onlookers did not enter the school field.
This is what the owner ordered, only onlookers are allowed, and no one is allowed to disturb the little master.
It is said that last night Mrs. cried all night, and the owner's face was also very haggard, but the old lady was very excited.
In the middle of the school field sat a shirtless young man, who had been sitting here all night, and the old lady looked at the young man, his face was full of kindness, and from time to time he said proudly to the onlookers
"Look, that's my eldest grandson!"
The servants greeted him with flattering words, which made the old lady even happier.
At this time, the sky had just dawned, and there was still a little night in the sky, but in the east, where heaven and earth intersected, the warm light had already shown its head from there.
The boy opened his eyes and stretched the muscles and bones of his upper body, and his bronzed skin became deeper at this moment of light and dark.
He stood up, looked at the warm light of the eastern sky, and then looked at the edge of the school yard and straightened his neck, and then looked away from the old lady, waved at him, and smiled.
The old lady waved his hand excitedly at him, but at this time, between the corners of the old lady's eyes, crystal tears flowed down inadvertently.
The young man froze, took a deep breath, and let out a soft snort
"Hah!"
Seeing that his bronzed skin gradually emitted a faint red light, he slowly raised his right hand, put his palms together into a fist, and smashed forward, violently and domineeringly
"Boom!"
In an instant, the ground shook and the mountains shook, not only Jiajiazhuang, but also hundreds of miles away from Jiajiazhuang, all felt different degrees of shaking.
In the mountains and forests, birds and beasts are running, streams are flowing backwards, and in the villages, chickens and dogs are restless, and the crowd is panicking.
On the school field, under a punch, heaven and earth resonated, the space shook, and then "click!" A cracking sound came from the void, and the young man actually blasted a big hole in the void!
The young man looked back, took one last look at the world, and then stepped into the big hole he punched without looking back......
In later legends, Jia Wu, the young master of the Jia family, was the third ascended person in the world, breaking through the void.
……………………
Chang An gently closed the book,
Close your eyes and read the three legends recorded in the book
"Sword God, Liu Yidao, Jia Wu."
Gradually, I fell into deep thought......
After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at his sleeping sister beside him gently, gently stroked his sister's sweaty forehead, and whispered
"Three taels, no matter what, my brother will find an immortal method for you."
