This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 654 - 5 Xiuchun_3

Chapter 654: Chapter 5 Xiuchun_3

How could merely the life of Yuan Cang quell Lu Qingshan’s anger with such losses?

If you want me dead, then I will surely not let you live.

It’s in the bones of Sword Cultivators to repay an eye for an eye.

On this day, Lu Qingshan silently left Qing Peak, departed from the Sword Sect, and through the Teleportation Array, delved headfirst into the boundless frontier of the Central Heavenly Realm.

…

In the Sha State of the Central Heavenly Realm.

Zhizhou Tower

In a small hall deep within, a young woman sat opposite a middle-aged Cultivator.

“….Ever since the Tianyuan Year, the Netherworld began to stir, and accordingly, across the Seven Mountains and the Heavenly River, the Demon Race also started to show signs of unrest….

After twenty thousand years of preparation, the time for the Demon Race to initiate a second genocidal war is drawing near, this is undoubtedly correct.

It is also because of this dire situation that, starting with your cohort, Great Xia has decided to cultivate talents without regard to resource depletion.”

….Three years in the Immortal Transformation Pond, the realm of origin opened, sixty years in the Mystery Realm, but no matter how hastening growth, it amounts to only six years in the outside world, during which you advanced from Golden Core to Void Refining.

Dantai Qingrun, amongst the Zhizhou Tower sequence, you certainly rank as the most outstanding one over the past decades,” said the middle-aged Cultivator with a calm as a still well.

The young woman opposite the Cultivator had sharp brows and glints of sword light in her eyes.

It was precisely because of the sequence spot that Dantai Qingrun came to the headquarters of Zhizhou Tower for cultivation!

“Cultivation training is concluded upon reaching Void Refining,” the middle-aged Cultivator slowly said.

Void Refining represents the pinnacle of human achievement.

Just as college students can be educated with an emphasis on resources, masters and Ph.D.s depend not only on resources but also on personal ability. Without aptitude, even the best resources cannot produce a Ph.D.

Thus, “compulsory education” stops at Void Refining.

“With the Netherworld running rampant, we need more than ever to slay demons and purify evil to maintain peace in the world. Next, you may choose a domain to be responsible for. What are your thoughts?” the middle-aged man asked again.

“The Southern Territory,” Dantai Qingrun answered coolly.

It was only natural for her to come from the Southern Territory and devote herself to it in the end.

“Good,” the middle-aged man across nodded and slid a token over.

The token was elliptical, crafted from black iron and mysterious jade, with two characters inscribed upon it:

“Xiuchun.”

“Mobilizing a thousand Cultivators, with imperial permission,” the middle-aged Cultivator cautioned in the end, “do not abuse your power.”

“Qingrun understands,” affirmed the woman, her voice resonant and firm.

….

Dantai Qingrun left the Zhizhou Tower with a heavy heart.

With great chaos on the horizon, no one aware could remain indifferent.

Twenty thousand years ago, Ancestral Daoist Xia had stabilized the world.

Twenty thousand years later, is there anyone who can stand up to put an end to this turmoil?

Her emotions were mixed.

Dantai Qingrun shook her head, deciding not to contemplate these thoughts.

You radiate as much light as the fire within you.

This was all she could do.

And for now, her duty was to unearth the demons and traitors hiding among the Human Race and to eradicate them.

To address external threats, one must first secure internal stability.

Without eliminating internal trouble, how could one confront the Demon Race with full strength?

However, this was yet another herculean task, and at the moment, she lacked any substantial leads.

Dantai Qingrun, frowning in contemplation, suddenly paused in her steps.

For not far ahead stood a man, with black hair cascading over his shoulders and a gentle smile as he watched her.

“Why is it you?” Dantai Qingrun’s heart stirred.

“Beiming True Venerable told me you were graduating today, so I came to welcome you and celebrate your achievement,” Lu Qingshan said with a light laugh, looking at Dantai Qingrun whom he hadn’t seen in six or seven years.

After six years, Dantai Qingrun no longer dressed in pure white, but rather in a heroic black brocade robe.

The robe, somewhat like a dress, had a pleated skirt-like design on the lower half, with symmetrical pleats on either side.

Emblazoned upon the robe were patterns of four-clawed flying fish – “Green-Gold Jewel Flower Flying Fish Over-the-Shoulder Luo,” “Green-Gold Flower Flying Fish Silk,” “Bright Red Jewel Flower Flying Fish Brocade,” “Bright Red Woven Gold Flying Fish Brocade”…

A flying fish, “with the appearance of a pig and marked in red, which could not be struck by lightning and could ward off soldiers,” was a powerful Spirit Beast.

Just as the bear pelt conferred by Gui Yuan True Venerable, the brocade robe was a garb bestowed by Great Xia.

However, it was of an extremely high grade and had a specific name.

Flying Fish Robe.

Moreover, this Flying Fish Robe could only be worn by certain individuals.

“Xiuchun.”

The Zhizhou Tower sequence, the most transcendent wielders of power within Zhizhou Tower, tasked with eliminating demons and purging the Netherworld. If high-ranking officials of Great Xia were found collaborating with the Netherworld, they could be executed first and reported later, without accountability.

This is Great Xia’s most murderous sword.

Why does such a blood-stained sword bear a delicate name like “Xiuchun”?

Because…

Xiuchun, Xiuchun, it is meant to embroider a picturesque landscape of rivers and mountains.

The purpose of Xiuchun’s existence was never to kill, but to “embroider spring.”

But…

Only by killing could one protect the beautiful rivers and mountains.
