Chapter 9: The Seven Great Swords of Qingyun, Part 7, Bird in a Cage
[Lu Qingxue, the eighth generation disciple of Xiaozhu Peak of Qingyun Immortal Sect, the eldest senior sister.]
[On the surface, he appears to be cool, elegant, and not good at speaking, but in his heart he is pure and kind, and is easy to trust others, especially those who are very good-looking. ]
[Back then, he was brought to the mountain by Lingyue Zhenren and wanted to become a disciple of Qingyi, the head master of Qiongming Peak, but she cruelly rejected him.]
[So deep down in my heart, there has always been an obsession, and that is to prove myself. ]
[As Shi Qingyi's eldest disciple, Ning Changge naturally became her first target for sword-testing.]
Ning Changge read the description of Lu Qingxue in the book, and his mind was filled with black lines.
I just want to know why someone would challenge me for no reason?
It turns out that it was all caused by that drunkard Shi Qingyi.
I'm so angry!
"Why did Senior Sister Lu challenge Senior Brother Ning?"
"Yes, yes, is there any big shot who can give me an answer?"
Some disciples who had just started to learn the martial art asked curiously.
"It's a long story. Back then, Senior Sister Lu... (I won't say any more. If I continue, I'll probably get scolded.)"
The junior sister from Xiaozhu Peak who knew the situation patiently explained it.
"I see. But Senior Sister Lu, don't you know Senior Brother Ning's true level of cultivation? How dare you challenge him?"
Many Qingyun disciples were very puzzled.
Although most of them had just met Ning Changge for the first time, they could still trust the authenticity of the Tianji Monthly Report to a certain extent.
The exclusive report on Ning Changge above is a long and densely packed text.
To sum it up simply, in one sentence, Senior Brother Ning’s strength is unfathomable!
"Well, Senior Sister Lu will come over to challenge me as soon as she comes out of seclusion."
The junior sister who knew about it earlier continued to explain.
"Ah, this... looks like a duel without any suspense."
Hearing the girl's answer, everyone shook their heads with great regret.
They didn't look down on Lu Qingxue.
Being in the late Jindan stage in his twenties is indeed amazing, but compared with Senior Brother Ning, there is simply a world of difference.
Three years, Nascent Soul!
What is this concept? !
It's so terrifying!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ning Changge with envy.
That was a figure they would never be able to catch up with in their entire lives.
The sound of everyone's discussion naturally reached the ears of the person involved.
After hearing this, Ning Changge resisted the urge to curse.
The most urgent task is how to get out of the current predicament, rather than engaging in verbal battles with these "Seven Walnuts" disciples who are drunk.
"Brother Ning, please teach me!"
Lu Qingxue said again with a serious expression.
Of course, she heard all these discussions clearly, but she didn't believe them.
In other words, she only believed in the three-foot magic sword in her hand.
Whether you win or lose, you have to try your sword!
This is the obsession from the sword cultivator!
"..."
Hey, sister, you want to embarrass me, right?
The person who rejected you was Shi Qingyi. You should go to her, not me.
Of course, Ning Changge would not say these words in his heart.
But after seeing the sword in Lu Qingxue's hand, Ning Changge suddenly thought of a good idea.
After thinking for a moment, he said calmly:
"Junior Sister Lu, it's not that I don't want to compete with you."
"But I just came back from the Myriad Beasts Mountains, and my sword has long been damaged. I can't possibly fight you empty-handed."
"Even if you agree, I can't agree. It's disrespectful to the sword and you."
After saying that, Ning Changge put his hands behind his back and pretended to mean "I don't want to take advantage of you!!"
But in fact, he was already sweating profusely!!
But it was obvious that he underestimated the power of his imagination, or he underestimated the importance of Master Qingyi in Qingyun Immortal Sect.
As soon as he said this, it was like a huge rock falling into a river, instantly causing a thousand waves.
Everyone was moved.
"Woo~ Senior Brother Ning actually killed the demon and even cut the sword in half!"
"Really, I cried my ass off!"
After hearing this, Lu Qingxue also showed an unspeakable expression on her face, "Senior Brother Ning...you..."
She didn't expect that Senior Brother Ning was not only very handsome, but also so considerate and careful, and could think so much.
I hold the magic sword, but Senior Brother Ning is unarmed.
Comparing the two, it really shouldn't have been right for me to go and block him for a duel.
"Brother Ning, Qingxue is very touched that you can think so much about her."
As if she had made up her mind, Lu Qingxue gritted her teeth and said, "But Qingxue really wants to compete with you. I will put away this immortal sword Caged Bird for the time being."
"This competition is not about swordsmanship, but about sword intent."
As soon as she finished speaking, the seemingly ordinary flying sword in her hand instantly turned into a stream of light and flew into the Purple Palace.
Most of the cultivators' natal magic weapons are placed in the Purple Palace, firstly to keep them warm at all times, and secondly to be available whenever needed.
This caged bird is obviously Lu Qingxue's natal flying sword.
"It's actually a caged bird. This is one of the seven swords that protect the Qingyun Immortal Sect."
"She has become Senior Sister Lu's natal flying sword. Unbelievable!"
Some disciples who had entered the sect a long time ago cried out in shock.
"Senior Sister Lu can make a caged bird recognize its master, what do you think Senior Brother Ning's natal flying sword will be?"
"Brother Ning said that his sword was damaged, so he should not have his own flying sword."
"How is it possible? Senior Brother Ning is the reincarnation of an immortal, how could there be none?"
For a moment, voices of surprise and confusion were heard one after another.
Return my natal flying sword. I have been on the top of Qiongming Peak for three years and I haven’t even seen a scabbard.
Shi Qingyi, that irresponsible drunkard, not only gave him a copy of "Sword Heart Sutra", but also said it was some supreme sword scripture, the true sword scripture created by Taixu Immortal Emperor from the upper realm.
As for the rest,...haha, I won’t say anything.
Ning Changge looked at the bird in the cage and felt so envious.
In the original novel, the Bird in the Cage is the third of the seven swords protecting the Qingyun Immortal Sect.
Its effect is even more amazing, just like its name.
In this world, everyone is a bird in a cage.
Create a small space and pull the enemy in to fight.
Then I will be the knife and others will be the meat.
Of course, to reach the legendary small world, one’s realm of cultivation must be extremely high.
Lu Qingxue, who is in the late Jindan stage, is not enough.
However, Ning Changge said that it would definitely be possible to beat him!
The disciples watching had no idea of Ning Changge's mental activity. When they saw Lu Qingxue put the bird away in the cage, they held their breath and stared with their eyes wide open.
Everyone knew that the real sword-testing battle was about to begin.
Moreover, it is an extremely rare sword competition.
The sword intent cannot be compared with sword skills and sword techniques that exist in secret books.
If sword skills can be mastered through diligent practice, the same cannot be said for sword spirit.
It is a mysterious existence.
The heart is the way.
Only by understanding one's own path to the sword and thus concentrating the heart of the sword can one comprehend the true meaning of the sword.
Although it is difficult, people who practice swordsmanship are eager to do it.
This is because even the most ordinary sword moves, with the support of sword intent, can unleash incredibly amazing combat power.
At this moment, the field was silent until a clear and ethereal sound was heard.
"Brother Ning, this is my sword intent. Please give me your guidance."
As soon as he finished speaking, strands of sword energy suddenly surged out from Lu Qingxue's body.
The sword energy was dense and chaotic, but it all gathered together in the end and turned into a long river of sword energy flowing around her.
The sword intent was everywhere. At the foot of Qiongming Peak, the disciples watching could clearly feel the cold and murderous sword intent.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were burning with anticipation for what terrifying sword intent Ning Changge would unleash.
Could it be that the legend of their Qingyun Immortal Sect states that only the founder of the sect can wield the Zhuxian sword?
After all, Senior Brother Ning is the reincarnation of an immortal!
However......
