Chapter 311 Tianxing Sword Gate
Tiandu Mountain stretches for tens of thousands of miles.
The further you go, the higher the mountains and denser the forests. There are no roads in many places. If you want to go to your destination, you must take a flying boat. If you go alone, you can only fly along the treetops, but it is easy to get lost.
The magnetic field in the mountain is very special.
In some places, the direction changes from time to time.
Whether it is using a compass or judging the direction based on the position of the sun or the characteristics of plant growth, it cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof.
Often a slight mistake can lead to a thousand miles of error.
Why is this so?
According to legend, Tiandu Mountain was formed after a god fell, and Tianjian Mountain, the highest peak of Tiandu Mountain, is the sword held by that god.
What is the name of the god?
There are many different opinions.
However, there is a generally accepted statement.
That is, this god is the White Emperor of the West, who belongs to the metal element in the five elements. He adheres to the way of killing and conquering, and unified the heaven and the world before the Red Emperor.
The first of the Five Emperors is the Yellow Emperor, the master of the center, and the fate of the earth.
Next is the Black Emperor, who belongs to the water element and comes from the Lord of the Four Seas. The Dragon Court appeared when the Black Emperor ruled the world. It has a longer history than the four major clans. The heyday of the four major clans was during the current Qing Emperor period, but the years of activity were during the Red Emperor period.
As for the White Emperor.
This supreme god between the Black Emperor and the Red Emperor had the shortest time to rule the heaven and the earth. From replacing the Black Emperor to being replaced by the Red Emperor, there was only 10,000 years in between.
This period of time seemed to be wiped out by an invisible hand.
Everyone only knows that the White Emperor exists, but does not know his specific deeds.
They only know that He is the God of Killing, holding a magic sword, and He is the only one in the world.
Whether it is the Yellow Emperor, the Black Emperor, or the later Red Emperor, they all ended up missing. I don’t know if they survived the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.
This is not the case with the White Emperor.
Everyone knows that He did not fall because of the Five Decays of Heaven and Earth, but fell in a fierce battle with a foreign god during his heyday.
There is no evidence, but everyone thinks so.
Tiandu Mountain is the body of the White Emperor. Because of its attributes, the magnetic field is very chaotic, different from outside the mountain.
Becoming a Dharma Real Lord can avoid the influence of the magnetic field and will not lose the sense of direction.
However, with the strength of the Dharma Real Lord, he cannot fly with a sword. He can only fly a short distance. After flying for a few miles, his divine thoughts will be exhausted and he has to land. It takes most of the day to recover.
The cost performance is not high!
Therefore, except for the Sword Saint, swordsmen mostly rely on flying boats to enter and exit Tiandu Mountain.
At this time, Nie Wushuang, Su Yujin, Jian Yibai, Tao Xuanyi and others were riding in a flying boat.
The flying boat is different from the flying ships belonging to those super clans.
Not only is there a huge difference in size, but also in essence.
The flying ships of those sects are strategic weapons.
Second only to the Purple Mansion.
If facing the disaster of extermination or the catastrophe of heaven and earth, without the protection of the Purple Mansion, large flying ships can come in handy.
Most of the sect's elites and classic resources were moved onto the flying ship to escape.
In addition, the flying ship is a powerful war machine.
When the magic array is activated, it strikes like a blow from the heyday of the Heavenly Venerable. If a general Dharma-Appearance True Lord were to take this blow, he would not be able to withstand it and would be turned into dust.
In Jiange, there are no flying ships, only flying boats.
At close range, you can fly with a sword, and at long distances, you rely on flying boats.
If the sect's flying ship is a behemoth like an aircraft carrier, the flying boat is a fishing boat airship equipped with a power device.
This is a unique thing in Jiange.
In the battlefield of Liangjie Mountain, in the battle with the demon army, it was deeply feared by the demons.
Dozens of flying boats flew out, and each flying boat had more than ten swordsmen on board. At the same time, the swordsmen popped out of the flying boat and flew with swords.
It became a strange soldier that came and went as fast as lightning.
It can often cause a sudden attack on the demon army.
It is very difficult to guard against.
Nie Wushuang and others were riding on such a flying boat.
The space of the flying boat is not big, just like a shabby room.
The maximum passenger capacity is ten people.
If there are ten people, they can barely sit cross-legged next to each other, or stand like a pine tree. If you want to lie down and rest, don't expect it.
This flying boat comes from Tianxing Sword Sect.
It is a special vehicle for Qixia Sword Sect to receive disciples who have cultivated sword hearts. It is driven by a Tiangang Zhenren who has cultivated his own flying sword.
Once every ten years.
Basically, the disciples received cannot fill this small flying boat. In some years, it even flies out of Tiandu Mountain empty and flies back empty.
It is not easy to cultivate swords!
It is even more difficult to cultivate sword hearts!
This time, there are only four passengers, the black and white swords, Nie Wushuang, and Su Yujin.
The real disciples are Nie Wushuang and Tao Xuanyi, and Su Yujin and Jian Yibai go as their Taoist companions.
They can also practice in Tianxing Sword Sect.
However, they are not eligible to enjoy the cultivation resources.
If they succeed in cultivation, the merit points will be counted under the name of the original sword sect, not the sword sect in the mountain.
Of course, this situation is rare.
The most successful cultivators as Taoist companions are Dharma-Appearance True Lords, and those who can become sword saints and ascend to the sword pavilion have never appeared in the classics.
Although swordsmen cultivate themselves, they also need resources.
The Qixia Sword Sect has consumed a lot of resources with the power of the sect to create Su Yujin's natal flying sword.
To a certain extent, the most consumed resources are no longer needed.
However, this road is still not easy to walk. Tianxing Sword Sect will not be so selfless as to allow a disciple from Qixia Sword Sect to become a sword saint. If they find any signs, they will definitely suppress it vigorously. Many things are difficult to bring to the table.
The flying boat, which was originally limited to ten people, now has only five people, so it seems less crowded.
At first, when he knew that two disciples with clear sword hearts appeared, Master Park Shin-de was quite happy in his heart, which meant that he could at least accept a disciple.
Arranging him to drive the flying boat to accept disciples also means that he can accept disciples first.
This is the unwritten rule of Tianxing Sword Sect. Therefore, those who usually drive the flying boat to the outside of the mountain are those Tiangang Zhenren whose realm in their lifetime ends here. This kind of people, let alone ascending the sword pavilion to become a sword saint, even the Dharma Real Lord has no chance with them.
Without a future, they can only accept disciples.
Treat the apprentice as a legacy. If the apprentice is successful in cultivation, he may also rise to the top. Even if his realm is always at Tiangang Zhenren, his words are more effective than those of ordinary Dharma Zhenjun in the sect.
Take the master of Tianxing Sword Saint for example.
Although that person has fallen for many years, when he was alive, his words were even more effective than those of the master of Tianxing Sword Sect.
For a swordsman like Park Shin-deok who has lost his future, the only luxury left is to accept a good apprentice.
However, becoming a Tiangang Zhenren will also have a long life.
Every ten years, you have to wait in line to accept a disciple.
Park Shin-deok thought he was lucky and won the competition with a fellow disciple for the qualification to go outside the mountain.
Now, he just wants time to go back.
He would rather give the opportunity to the other party.
A half-way monk in his fifties and a half-way monk in his twenties, how to choose?
It's like putting poison wine and a dagger in front of you, asking you to choose one to commit suicide.
How to choose?
