In fact, in the history of the Central Continent for thousands of years, cultivators have been like carp crossing the river, but there is no one who can really reach the so-called immortal realm, let alone the ascension that only exists in myths and legends.

Although the Yuan Spirit entering the body can indeed increase longevity, cultivators can indeed prolong their lives compared to ordinary people, but that is also a limit, two hundred years old cultivators are already considered to be old, the contemporary Tianqing Division cabinet leader Li Chunhao, as recognized as the first person to cultivate in the court, one of the five peers in the world, is only two hundred and twenty-seven years old, and has already begun to arrange the things after his death, and train the next generation of Tianqing Division's successors.

The longest-lived cultivator in history is the last national teacher of the previous dynasty, Qianyuan Daoren, who was three hundred and forty years old when he was attacked and killed by Taizu and the head of the first Tianqing Division, almost the same age as Guozuo.

At this point, the various alien beasts on the Central Continent have a great advantage over humans, such as the dragon and the alien tiger that are still suppressed in Daze Mountain so far, have at least a thousand years of lifespan, and have witnessed the rise and fall of the three dynasties.

Since monks can't live forever, what is the purpose of cultivation?

Nature is a force that ordinary people can't reach!

At this time, Cao Xiyun reacted to the extreme the contrast between the power of cultivators and the world!

On the street outside the gate of Yanlou, Cao Xiyun casually waved the patch that was not worthy of being called a sword at all, and walked through the army formation of hundreds of people as if he were in a no-man's land! The four people of the Panlong Academy and the three dogs of Faber followed closely behind.

These sergeants are all elite defenders stationed in Luobei City by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were used privately by the He family's public weapons to block the road and arrest people, and there are many monks who are in the agreeable period mixed in, but no matter who he faces, Cao Xiyun is cut down with a sword, and there is never an enemy under the sword!

Zhao Xifeng silently observed Cao Xiyun's shot all the way, and found that there were subtle differences between each sword, among the soldiers who rushed up one after another, the part of the people who were not ruthless just to hurt the enemy and capture alive, after taking one of his swords, often just broke their weapons, vomited blood and retreated, but the few people who really had murderous intentions towards Cao Xiyun and did not spare their hands were cut in two after one room, whether they were cultivators or ordinary sergeants, without exception!

It was in this situation that Cao Xiyun obviously still had spare strength, and while raising his sword to meet the enemy, he said to Zhao Xifeng with a smile: "When a swordsman comes out of a sword, he never removes his moves, let alone re-cultivates to the realm, but must have his own sword, this sword is humanitarian, and it is the principle and bottom line that my generation of swordsmen need to adhere to when walking in the world, if you know why you make a sword." ”

At this time, Zhao Xifeng could not understand this, just blindly staring at the dashing sword light on Cao Xiyun's vertical and horizontal Luo, memorizing every move and every style, his heart was shaking, and he couldn't help himself.

Cao Xiyun continued: "The sword in his hand is straight, so the truth in the swordsman's heart should also be straight, and the reason is natural and strong, when we can't convince people with reason, at least we can repay our grievances with straightness." ”

As Cao Xiyun spoke, he slashed out a magnificent sword in his hand, shocking the life and death of the two military monks who joined forces to sneak attack!

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer soldiers and servants who dared to step forward, and everyone centered on Cao Xiyun and his party, forming a circle separated by three zhang, and kept moving with the footsteps of several people.

In an alley not far from Cao Xiyun and his party, two old men squatted by the wall, silently paying attention to the changes in the situation between the fields, and the old man closer to the alley was dressed in ordinary green cloth clothes, like an ordinary old man in the market, and although the person next to him was squatting, his unique aura of a cultivator could not be erased.

The old man of the cultivator smiled bitterly at the old man in cloth and said: "Old He, the third young master mentioned the iron plate this time, according to the news that Si Li just received a few days ago, the Panlong Academy and the Furong swordsman Cao Xiyun are crossing the Huailuo Plain from Mengshan, and they may pass through Luobei in the next few days, it seems that it should be them." ”

It turned out that the old man in cloth in front of him was He Luming, the contemporary head of the He family, and the one next to him was another member of the He family who worshipped Shen Wen.

He Luming pondered for a long time, and said with a sneer: "Hey, I originally wanted to use that unsuccessful third child to fish out of the city for the small shrimp that was not good for my He family, but who would have thought that it would attract a shark!"

"It's also my negligence to blame for this," Shen Wen said helplessly, "Si Li strictly ordered that the whereabouts of the people of the Panlong Academy should not be investigated in the past few days, so as not to startle the snake, so I ordered all the spies to dive temporarily, which overheard the information that the Furong swordsman had entered the city." ”

"It's come to this, don't say these words anymore," He Luming stood up and waved his hand, looking at the sword light that lit up from time to time in the distance and asked, "He just wants to know, if you join forces with Mr. Wang, plus the one in the Xicheng army, can you suppress this person?"

Shen Wen shook his head without hesitation and said: "There is no way, it is no longer ordinary to cross Zhiwei, not to mention the three of us, a few days ago, there were more than a dozen masters in the inner courtyard of the division, and they did not dare to act rashly in the face of this sword, and they were ashamed to say it, and the old man even felt that even if the three of us joined forces, we would not be much different from those ordinary sergeants who had seen this sword." ”

In case of injustice, a sword will be even.

This is the true and coercive power of the Hibiscus swordsman.

He Luming was silent for a long time, and then continued to ask, "Then what if you add the city protection array?"

In the territory of the Great Zhou, the important state capitals have a protective array, which is the real confidence of the Great Zhou Dynasty to resist the White Sea barbarians for many years, and even some radical officials above the court have released their words, even if the Miyun Pass misses and the barbarians enter the customs, as long as the state capitals have no problems with the city protection array, they can still completely annihilate the enemy and the territory.

However, the activation of such a national important weapon can be decided by He Luming's words, which shows how terrifying the He family's power in Luobei City is!

But hearing this, Shen Wen looked shocked, and hurriedly said: "Old He, this is absolutely unacceptable! Not to mention how unwise it is to use the talisman array in front of the next head of the Cao family, just look at the protective array of our Luobei City, it was the Cao family back then! I am worried that once the big array is opened, it will become another sharp sword hanging above our heads in the other party's hand!"

The two old men looked at each other in the alley, and sighed at the same time, exhausted their moves, helpless.

"In that case, what else can I do?" He Luming snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves hard, "I had to open the city gate and send this big swordsman out of the city, hehe, but although he didn't have much to do, if he thought that he could go all the way to the capital like this, it would be too naïve, and on the road behind, there were people waiting to clean him up!"

Shen Wen looked at the crowd that was gradually leaving in the distance, sighed, and for the first time had the idea of returning to old age.

"That's not right!" Suddenly, Shen Wen stood up in shock as he watched the crowd go, "Old He, the direction he's going is not going out of the city, but... It's Hefu!"

He Luming's face changed greatly, and he stumbled and fell.
