This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 959 - 20 The Importance of the Taoist Artifact_3

"Especially the transition from the strongest Fourth Realm to the strongest Fifth Realm, you actually took less than a year."

"During this period, countless cultivators marveled at your achievements and discussed fervently, and at this very moment, this news has spread."

"The claim of possessing a Taoist Artifact is undoubtedly the most reasonable explanation for your astounding performance, so it quickly gained recognition from most cultivators and spread rapidly." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

A Taoist Artifact, being an Artifact of the Great Dao, can help Lu Qingshan grow rapidly and grant him combat power far exceeding his own realm, which indeed sounds very reasonable.

It can only be said that the person behind this move truly understands human nature.

The Jing Hu Pavilion Master furrowed his brows slightly and said in a deep voice, "Additionally, it’s worth noting that the time interval from the appearance of this news to its spread is really too short, and they seem to deliberately avoid our Heavenly Secret Pavillion, which caught me off guard.

This news first erupted simultaneously in the other six domains, but only in the Central Heavenly Realm there was no push behind it, so I couldn’t detect it in time and nip it in the bud."

He said to Lu Qingshan, "Now, judging by the speed at which this news is spreading in the other six domains, it won’t be long before the matter of you wielding a Taoist Artifact spreads throughout the Central Heavenly Realm."

This puts Lu Qingshan at the forefront, and the immense pressure he must endure is imaginable.

"To spread this news across the Human Realm in a short time and make it credible, the power behind the move is enormous," Lu Qingshan was silent for a while and said slowly.

"The one with this power and deliberately targeting me is most likely the Underworld Cultivator side taking action personally.

Please, Shui Yue Pavilion Master, help me find the origin of this news; maybe we can trace it back to the source and catch a big fish." Lu Qingshan respectfully asked Shui Yue Pavilion Master.

"The focus of the investigation can be placed in the Central Spirit Domain," he judged.

"Don’t worry, I will immediately start to investigate this matter," Shui Yue Pavilion Master neither confirmed nor denied but just worriedly asked, "But on your side...what do you plan to do?"

"Do you need me to use Spirit Art to help you change your appearance and hide your identity? Or do you want to return to the Sword Sect to close your doors for a while and wait for the situation to pass?"

"If necessary, I can also assist Young Master Lu, as my innate Secret Technique is just suitable for this kind of situation," Lin Yao couldn’t help but interject.

She was referring to the flawless disguise ability constructed by her Shifting Stars Spirit Art and Phantom Body Divine Vein.

"Hmm?" Shui Yue Pavilion Master hadn’t said anything yet, but Jing Hu Pavilion Master was already snorting and glaring, looking quite displeased.

— Shifting Stars is a forbidden Spirit Art, and every time it is performed, it causes significant harm to the caster themselves.

He could not bear to see Lin Yao use the Shifting Stars Spirit Art for an outsider.

However, Lu Qingshan was very calm, shook his head, and said, "No need for such troubles."

"A Sword Cultivator has no reason to shut himself away; if soldiers come, I’ll use generals to defend, if guests come with swords, I’ll return them with swords."

"Come one, I kill one; come two, I kill a pair, just right for honing my Sword Technique."

"My Secret Sword Technique needs a chance to be understood, and fighting has always been the best way to practice swordsmanship; this may not be an opportunity."

The path of the strong is always paved with blood and bones.

Sword Cultivators even more so.

Lu Qingshan grinned, his teeth gleaming white but also chillingly cold, "You know, normally, not so many people rush to their deaths..."

"You are ultimately just in the Fifth Realm; there are always cultivators you can’t handle."

"Then I’ll run," Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, saying calmly, "If a great cultivator really comes to intercept me, running away is not a disgrace."

With Xia Daoyun’s Sword Token and that blood-stained warship from the Ao Ren Demon Venerable, as long as an Eighth Realm Cultivator doesn’t act, no one can kill him.

Eighth Realm Cultivators are scarce in the Human Realm, most being on the outer domain battlefields.

"Moreover, I believe that the cultivators who make me have to run will only become fewer," Lu Qingshan said softly, his eyelids slightly drooping.

The three Heavenly Secret Pavilion Cultivators present, regardless of their cultivation levels, were all moved by Lu Qingshan’s words.

They felt Lu Qingshan’s unyielding determination, as if they were seeing Lu Qingshan’s fangs and sharp edge.

Once a famous sword is unsheathed, there’s no reason to hide its sharpness!

Shui Yue Pavilion Master understood the great risk in Lu Qingshan’s choice, but she did not try to dissuade him.

This is the Sword Cultivator’s path.

To decide causality with a sword, relying only on the sword in hand, to slash out the heavenly path.

Without this conviction, one cannot become a Sword Immortal.

"Be careful yourself; I don’t wish to hear news of your untimely death," Shui Yue Pavilion Master finally said.

........

At this moment, in a hidden abyss far from the Central Heavenly Realm.

"Reporting to Supreme, the news of Lu Qingshan’s Life-bound Sword being a Taoist Artifact has spread throughout the Human Realm, and now many cultivators are restless." A cultivator bowed and reported to the six-eyed evil beast.

"Lu Qingshan, oh Lu Qingshan, we indeed have scruples, it is inconvenient for us to directly kill you," the six-eyed evil beast was immensely pleased, his eyes filled with madness and distortion.

"However, why should we act personally?"

"The knife of your kin will soon be at your throat!"

"You’re finished."

The six-eyed evil beast couldn’t help but let out waves of frenzied laughter.

To have the cultivators of the Human Race personally execute a genius Sword Cultivator of the Human Race.

This brought him a perverse pleasure.

Let it all perish!

....

On Lu Qingshan’s side, after briefing Shui Yue Pavilion Master about what he saw and heard in the Abyss and sharing some information gathered about the Demon Race, this conversation also came to a temporary end.

He bid farewell and left.

Lin Yao’s eyes glimmered, and she quickly greeted Shui Yue Pavilion Master before following Lu Qingshan away together.

"The damage of Shifting Stars Spirit Art is so great, yet Yao’er used it once for him, an outsider, and still wants to use it a second time." Jing Hu Pavilion Master said displeasedly, watching Lin Yao and Lu Qingshan leave side by side.

"I’m afraid Yao’er might be fancying this lad, aren’t you going to do something?" Jing Hu Pavilion Master grumbled resentfully, "This lad does have a presentable appearance; if this continues, I’m afraid Yao’er will be completely enamored by this boy!"

Lin Yao is the Heavenly Secret Pavilion disciple they hold in high regard, someone who practices the Heavenly Secret Spirit Art, and has a high possibility of being the next Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master; how could she put in so much for a man, be so enamored with him?

Especially since this man is an outsider.

Jing Hu Pavilion Master was very unhappy.

But Shui Yue Pavilion Master rolled her eyes uncontrollably at Jing Hu Pavilion Master’s words.

"Why, did I say anything wrong?" Seeing Shui Yue Pavilion Master’s response, Jing Hu Pavilion Master asked angrily.

"This lad has a good appearance, stunning Sword Technique, exceptional talent, not to mention his courage, and is full of spirit and free-spiritedness."

The nun, who was beautiful and radiant, said matter-of-factly, "Such an astonishing Sword Cultivator, if I was born a thousand years later, I might have fallen for him too; what’s wrong with a young girl fancying him? Isn’t this very normal?"

"If she doesn’t fancy him, should she fancy you, an old man?" Shui Yue Pavilion Master snorted coldly, her figure disappeared, leaving the somewhat embarrassed Jing Hu Pavilion Master standing still.

A moment later.

"What’s wrong with being a bit old, it’s not like you’ve been feeding me," Jing Hu Pavilion Master muttered discontentedly, "Besides, I am of the same generation as you, and I wasn’t lacking when I was young, so why didn’t you fancy me?"

After grumbling in dissatisfaction and grievance, Jing Hu Pavilion Master’s figure disappeared as well, leaving only the mountain wind stirring by the cliffside.

Wailing, wailing it blew.
