Chapter 50: Deep in the Back Mountain

"Great Elder, you must succeed."

"As long as you can survive the tribulation, our Sword Sect will have hope of re-rising."

"Whether the Sword Sect continues to decline or regain its glory depends on today's results."

……

Unlike the disciples of the Doubtful Land Sect, the other high-ranking members of the Sword Sect all had solemn expressions, and almost at the same time looked at the mountain behind the sect.

In the past two or three years, the sect and the frost moon sect have continued to fight, causing huge losses to the Sword Sect, and in order to solve the current predicament, the Sword Sect must have its own immortal cultivation powerhouse.

Only immortal cultivators who have entered the Yuan Infant Realm can be called a real powerhouse in Nanjun.

The reason why the Sword Sect declined before was because for hundreds of years, the existence of the Yuan Infant Realm was no longer born. Now, the Great Elder who had stayed in the back mountain for a long time and cultivated hard had finally taken the last step, as long as he survived today's thunder tribulation, then the Sword Sect would have hope of re-emerging.

Deep in the mountain behind the Sword Sect, an old man with white hair slowly got up.

His seemingly thin and old figure gradually became stronger with the thunder in the sky, and even his hair became black and shiny.

The old man's eyes were bright, he looked at the sky covered by dark clouds, and laughed loudly: "After a hundred years of hard work, I finally waited for today." ”

"I, Gu Changming, will definitely survive the thunder tribulation and go straight to the Great Dao of Eternal Life today!"

As soon as the words fell, the old man stepped on his sword and soared into the air, and an unprecedented momentum erupted from his body.

It seemed that he sensed the aura emitted by the old man, which provoked the Heavenly Dao in the underworld, and a dazzling and brilliant thunder light ruthlessly thundered down from above the nine heavens!

"I'm going!"

Seeing this, the old man's face changed slightly, but he still raised his sword and tried his best to fight it.

The terrifying aura of destruction permeated the entire Sword Sect, and everyone felt a strong aura of danger at this moment.

……

"Sure enough, someone is doing the robbery."

"Such a terrible thunderstorm, if you want to survive it smoothly, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Zhao Ping'an's soul strength far exceeded that of ordinary immortal cultivators, and his divine sense was comparable to the existence of the foundation building period, so even if he was separated from a long distance, he still sensed a certain situation.

Immortal cultivators go against the sky, and the thunder tribulation is the test of the heavenly way.

Almost ninety out of ten immortal cultivators are difficult to support in the thunder tribulation.

I don't know if the Sword Sect, the existence that caused the Thunder Tribulation, can survive the difficulties smoothly.

The sound of thunder lasted for a whole day, and the terrifying movement made the disciples of the entire Sword Sect tremble.

As for the miscellaneous disciples of the Medicine Garden, they were all even more uneasy and frightened.

It wasn't until the dark clouds cleared the next day that the sect returned to peace.

Although Zhao Ping'an was very curious about the fate of the traverser, he was only a sweeping miscellaneous disciple, and he was not qualified to contact the high-level of the sect at all.

He still maintained his original strength, and after cleaning the medicine garden during the day, he returned to the wooden house to make talismans and cultivate.

Zhao Ping'an didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, he only did his duty and silently cultivated and improved.

……

"Peace."

"Yesterday there were dark clouds in the sky, and the sky was strange, do you know what happened?"

Zhao Ping'an was originally cleaning and working, but Da Niu suddenly came over and said in a low voice.

"I don't know."

"Oh, what gossip have you heard again?"

Zhao Ping'an smiled slightly and asked tentatively.

Since Da Niu recovered his good mentality, except for cleaning the medicine garden, he has almost always fooled around with many miscellaneous disciples, so relatively speaking, he can obtain a lot of information inside and outside the sect.

Whether it is gossip or rumors, Da Niu will talk about it to Zhao Ping'an.

"I heard that yesterday, the Great Elder in the sect crossed the Thunder Tribulation and wanted to break through to the Yuanying Great Monk realm."

"But at the last step I failed."

Da Niu said nervously.

"The Great Elder Tribulation? Failed? ”

When Zhao Ping'an heard this, he felt a little surprised, but also felt that it was expected.

The predecessor's memory of the great elder of the sect is still relatively rare, and he only knows that the great elder has stayed in the mountain behind the sect for many years to retreat and cultivate, and he is a figure who sees the beginning and the end of the dragon.

"yes, that's a shame."

"If that Great Elder succeeds in crossing the tribulation, our Sword Sect will have a Great Cultivator of the Yuan Infant Realm."

"When the time comes, the Frost Moon Sect will not dare to continue bullying our Sword Sect at all."

Da Niu sighed lightly and said.

"I also heard that the sword master took almost all the high-level people to the back mountain today, and I don't know what the situation of the great elder is?"

Da Niu told Zhao Ping'an all the news he knew.

The movement of this matter is very big, even if the high-level people in the sect want to hide it, they can't hide it at all.

With the failure of the Great Elder Gu Changming's tribulation, the entire sect spread the word.

"If you fail, you won't live long."

Zhao Ping'an shook his head and whispered to himself.

How terrifying the thunder tribulation was, the reason why he was able to become a sword master in the Yuan Infant Realm in his first life was thanks to the huge resources of the sect and his own talent.

But even if it was like that, when the first life crossed the Thunder Tribulation, he almost died tragically, and in the end, he was able to barely take the last step with the help of two talismans.

"Ping'an, you said such a big thing, can the sect still be stable?"

"Now many people are saying that if the Frost Moon Sect takes advantage of this time to attack, our Sword Sect is afraid that it will be in danger of extinction."

Da Niu continued worriedly.

He has now broken an arm, the path of the Immortal Dao has been cut off, if the Frost Moon Gate really hits, he doesn't want to die here.

This is not only the idea of Da Niu, but also the idea of many disciples in the sect.

"There shouldn't be any worries."

"The Sword Sect has a deep heritage, even if the Frost Moon Gate comes over, there will still be tall people on top of it when the sky falls."

Zhao Ping'an patted Da Niu on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

Although he said this on the surface, Zhao Ping'an also had a trace of uneasiness in his heart, if the Sword Sect fell as a strong person, then the comprehensive strength of the sect would inevitably be greatly reduced, and the danger it would face at that time would be ten times more terrifying than it was now.

In this way, he must have planned for it earlier.

While the two were talking, the depths of the mountain behind the Sword Sect were already filled with the high-level members of the sect.

However, all the elder-level figures in the sect were all present under the leadership of the sword master and gathered in front of a cave mansion.

"Old man, I can't die for the time being."

"The sword master stays, and the rest of the people should go back."

Inside the cave, an old voice came from the cave, signaling the high-level members of the Sword Sect to disperse.

"Yes."

Although they hesitated, the elders bowed respectfully, and then left the place, leaving only the sword master alone.

"Sword Master, come in."

Hearing this voice, the sword master hesitated for a moment, but still strode in.

With the help of the dim candlelight, the sword master saw an old man sitting cross-legged on the ground.

His thin face was a little pale, and the aura on his body was also fluctuating, and he looked unusually weak.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

The sword master took two steps forward, a look of concern on his face.

"It's a pity, I was just one kick away, and I still failed."

"In the future, the sect will all depend on you."

Gu Changming opened his eyes and said slowly.

There was a hint of desolation in his tone.

"There are also many healing pills and spiritual herbs in the sect, which will definitely help the senior brother heal his injuries."

Hearing this, the sword master was a little uneasy, and hurriedly said.

"That's it, I'm a dying man, and no matter how much treasure I spend, it's in vain."

"The sect is worried about internal and external troubles, and you have relied on your support alone all these years."

"Before I die, I will help you deal with the old things in the Frost Moon Gate, and even if you fall, you will have to pull a few cushions."

Gu Changming's face showed a resolute expression, and he said in a deep voice.

He is about to run out of oil, but for the sect to be immortal, he must contribute his last strength.

……

Half an hour later, the sword master walked out of the cave with a heavy face.

He took one last look at the cave and sighed softly before turning to leave.
