The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

In the autumn of the 11th year of Yuanwu in the Qin Dynasty, Changling.

Wearing a gray shirt, Jing Mo Sect drove the carriage silently while recalling the conflict that changed the situation in Changling City last night. He slowly walked along the straight road towards Beijiang Mountain outside the city. Drive away.

The terrain of Changling is distributed in a ladder shape from southeast to northwest. The south of the city is crisscrossed by tributaries of the Weihe River and Jinghe River. It is all plains, with occasionally a few hills less than 100 meters tall.

The middle part of Changling is a slightly higher ridge area, many of which are depressions left after the older river beds dried up.

The northern part of Changling is a plateau and hilly area, with a total of thirteen mountains. The highest ones are Shimen Mountain and Lingxu Mountain, and the lowest ones are Beijiang Mountain and Lanma Mountain.

In the eyes of the Jing Mo Sect, Ding Ning, the young man from the liquor store who is currently sitting in the car behind him, will definitely have an extraordinary future. The Baiyang Cave, a spiritual sect where he will be admitted without taking an exam this time, is located in the Baiyang Gorge of Beijiang Mountain.

……

After half a day of turbulence along the gradually climbing mountain road, the carriage Ding Ning was in finally entered Baiyang Gorge, driven by the gray-shirted swordsman Jing Mozong.

Because the terrain of the entire mountain range is not high, the canyon will not be very deep. However, for some unknown reason, water vapor is always locked in the canyon, and there are always several white clouds covering most parts of the canyon, and the white clouds are floating. Among them, occasionally a large palace is revealed, which makes it look particularly spiritual and fairy-like.

Looking at this place of practice, the gray-shirted swordsman driving the car couldn't help but show some envy in his eyes.

Since the destruction of the three great dynasties of Han, Zhao and Wei, the Great Qin Dynasty has ushered in an unprecedented prosperous age, with powerful practitioners emerging one after another, and everyone is proud to be a Qin citizen.

As the capital of the Qin Dynasty, Changling is also the place where the largest number of sword sects and sword sects gather in the Qin Dynasty. Within a hundred miles of the surrounding area, there are hundreds of large and small training places, including the Bashan Sword Field and the Zhaojian Furnace, which are recognized as the most popular in the world after the destruction of the Bashan Sword Field and Zhao Jianlu. Strong sword-cultivating sects: Minshan Sword Sect and Lingxu Sword Sect.

This has nothing to do with the density of the population. It’s just that Changling is the center of the entire Qin Dynasty, the center where power and resources gather. Families from all over the world want to occupy a place in Changling, and practitioners from all over the world also flow into Changling like thousands of streams flowing into the sea. .

In the early Yuanwu years of the Great Qin Dynasty, most of the places of practice were not close to Changling. These scattered practice sects and the territories of some nobles and nobles outside Changling naturally formed the army of the Great Qin Dynasty. Fortresses outside.

With the increasing scale of Changling, most of the sects are now located directly within Changling. Although these sects still have privileges, Great Qin's control over these sects has become stronger invisibly.

From the perspective of many practicing sects with a history even older than the current Great Qin Dynasty, the only advantage is that it is more convenient to obtain some practicing resources and it increases some opportunities to learn from other sects.

However, although it has a long history, Baiyangdong can only be regarded as a second-rate cultivation sect, and because it offended the queen, it is about to usher in the gloomiest ending, being merged into Qingyang Cave, which is only separated by a mountain. Tengjianyuan.

However, even so, such a place of practice is still not accessible to people like the gray-robed swordsman Jing Mo Zong.

After all, only those with talent, luck, and unique physique can step into the ranks of practitioners.

Compared with the low-level practitioners who were born in the world, there is another level of gap between them and any official disciple or student of any sect sword sect.

The word "cultivation" itself is an unattainable existence for ordinary people. Those who can cultivate beyond the six realms are destined to leave a strong mark in the history books of future generations.

And the conflict last night that caused the two-storeyed Jinlin Tang to be destroyed and profoundly changed the structure of several Jianghu gangs in Changling was actually a great sixth-level practitioner from Baiyangdong who personally took action, using only one move. The sword determines the final outcome of the battle.

Thinking of this, the Jing Mo Sect, whose cultivation was no more than the middle level of the Second Realm, began to feel a little worried.

Worried about the Wutongluo boy in the car behind him.

It's not that he is worried about whether he can enter this sect, but he is worried about his situation after entering this sect.

……

There is no mountain gate archway at Baiyangxiakou, only a white stone tablet.

There are four simple words engraved on the stone tablet: forbidden land.

The first two characters represent the Qin Dynasty's reward for the sect's achievements, and the last two characters represent the sect's privileges.

It was noon, which should have been the time for normal people to eat. Near the stone tablet representing the entrance to the mountain gate, Baiyang Cave would not be able to have many people welcoming the sect. However, when the carriage came not far from the stone tablet, Stopping on the mountain road, the gray-robed swordsman couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

Behind the stone monument, on the mountain path sloping downward, dozens of young students stood quietly.

These students, who were wearing linen robes with Aries marks on their sleeves, were wrapped in a strange atmosphere and looked at the stopped carriage in silence.

"Maybe you didn't come here specifically to welcome me into Baiyang Cave." A low voice sounded from behind Jing Mo Sect. The implication was that these people were actually here to deal with Ding Ning, who was able to enter without taking the exam and broke past rules. Protest.

Jing Mo Sect was slightly startled. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that Ding Ning had calmly gotten off the carriage and walked towards the stone monument. Then, he suddenly stopped, with a somewhat surprised look on his face.

It was not because one of the students came forward and deliberately stood at the same level as the stone tablet representing the mountain gate, so that Ding Ning could not formally enter the Baiyang Cave for the time being, or for other reasons, but because he saw Behind the group of students, a young girl appeared like a glimpse of light.

This woman was wearing a light green robe. She was probably a year or two older than Ding Ning. She was wearing a dark unsheathed long sword. She glanced at everyone present calmly, and then followed a breeze blowing from the cliff. , unexpectedly took one step forward and flew towards the highest point of Baiyang Gorge.

Feeling the ethereal aura of the other party, the fleeting movements, and the biting coldness surrounding the ink sword, Ding Ning, whose identity was far from being as simple as the young man from the well on the surface, couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

Looking at the rising back of the other party, Ding Ning stretched out his hand to caress the cool mountain breeze, but he seemed to see an eternal snow peak covered with black ice, and thought of a character who had parted ways with him in the past and who is now One of the strongest people in the world is the leader of the Minshan Sword Sect, Baili Suxue.

With Ding Ning's knowledge, he can naturally tell that the black ink sword worn by the girl is actually condensed from pure ice-cold energy. Apart from Changsun Qianxue's Nine Nether Sword Technique, there is no other sword in the world that has the most profound knowledge. The cold skills should be some of the sword techniques of the Minshan Sword Sect.

And the reason why he managed to use the power of the two-story Wang Taixu to join Baiyang Cave, an inconspicuous small sect, was precisely because Baiyang Cave had expanded in scale after merging with Qingteng Sword Academy, and there were already people participating in Min. The qualifications to enter the Shanjian Sect.

As a person with excessive yang and premature aging of the five qi, Ding Ning might die of old age at a very young age after he started practicing if he could not practice the Minshan Sword Sect's secret "Continuing Heaven Art".

Therefore, after planning a lot for this, when he saw this young girl who was suspected to be related to the Minshan Sword Sect, he couldn't help but think a lot and made a reasonable guess about it:

This may be the next generation sect master of Minshan, Jing Liuli, who is considered to be the strongest genius of the younger generation in Da Qin.

As we all know, from the early years of Yuanwu to the present, Jing Liuli and An Baoshi of Lingxu Sword Sect have always been considered by everyone to be the strongest practitioners in the future of the Great Qin Dynasty after Emperor Yuanwu.

Judging from the methods displayed by the girl, the opponent's progress in cultivation has at least reached the same level as most of the sects and Zhenshan elders of most small sects, and has reached the "original realm", which is the third level. The level of the Six Realms is even higher.

You know, at the same age of fifteen or sixteen, the students like Baiyangdong who gathered together to protest were only entering the second realm for the first time.

If she is not the legendary monster from the Minshan Sword Sect, who is she?

In Ding Ning's opinion, this young girl in green clothes who he couldn't see clearly and who seemed to be Jing Liuli was definitely more than one level better than Yuan Wu, who was only an average level among the group of people at the Bashan Sword Field back then. She was undoubtedly expected to be in the Eighth Realm, or even A glimpse of the peerless genius in the Nine Realms.

If he could have met such an opponent in the past and competed with each other, he might have officially crossed the threshold of the seventh to eighth realms before that betrayal. Under the shock of the supreme force, the ambitions of Yuan Wu and Zheng Xiu There is no way to talk about it.

……

There are white clouds in Baiyang Gorge.

Baiyang Cave is not big, and the small Taoist temple with the highest terrain, which looks like an isolated island under the white clouds, is only less than a hundred feet high.

From the platform of the Taoist temple, you can clearly see what is happening in front of the mountain gate at this moment.

On the platform, two people stood.

One of them was a slender old man wearing a linen cotton robe, with snow-white hair and a very rosy complexion. There were not many wrinkles. He was the Sixth Realm practitioner who changed the fate of Jinlin Tanghe and the two floors with a sword last night, Du Qingjiao. .

His identity in Baiyang Cave is that he is the senior brother of the cave master of Baiyang Cave.

"Brother, what happened last night, including today's incident, you were too impulsive." At this moment, next to him was an old Taoist priest, with a face like white jade, a white brocade robe with yellow edges, and a symbolic The small white jade sword that bears the identity of the cave master of Baiyang Cave is naturally Xue Wangxu, the cave master of Baiyang Cave.

"You also understand that it is precisely because the Queen is dissatisfied with us that this change occurred. You took action last night and so many people died. I am worried that she will find some excuses to deal with you again."

Seeing that the senior brother next to him was silent for a moment, Xue Wangxu couldn't help but sigh worriedly.

"It is precisely because I am the queen that I took action last night." The white-haired Du Qingjiao heard his sigh, turned around, smiled slightly, and said.

Xue Wangxu became even more worried: "Brother, why do you need to vent your anger?"

"Where is Qi?" Du Qingjiao shook his head: "Junior brother, your cultivation and knowledge are above mine, and your character of not caring about false reputations is also above mine, but your understanding of the queen is not as good as mine."

Xue Wangxu was startled.

Du Qingjiao said calmly: "Although the Queen acts decisively and ruthlessly, she is more measured than the two Xiangs, and she must be cautious. Since the Holy One has made a decree, she will not let me have any problems in my return to old age. An accident happened."

"The relationship between her and the Holy One must be intimate, even if it is a trivial matter. In this way, she and the Holy One will be the strongest, and our Great Qin Dynasty will be the strongest."

"Although I am an old man, I still have some friends in Changling over the years. It doesn't matter if I take over Baiyang Cave. If something unexpected happens to me when I return to old age, then everyone will always have some ideas."

"It's just some good things and old feelings between the two floors. I didn't stand up for them last night. It was because I knew that Jin Lintang had some relationship with the Queen's family, so I did it on purpose. She didn't want me to be happy, and I was When leaving Changling, I didn’t want her to be too happy.”

Xue Wangxu was speechless for a while.

Isn’t this just a matter of anger?

"Everyone takes a step back, the sky is brighter. Since I have said nothing and am content to grow old, she will also take a step back." Du Qingjiao added lightly.

Xue Wangxu took a deep breath, let out a long sigh, and frowned tightly the next moment.

This was naturally because he noticed the young girl who jumped up from the mountain gate and floated directly towards the Taoist temple here.

What is unbelievable is that despite the huge gap in cultivation level, when it comes to noticing the woman's movements, Xue Wangxu was more than a beat slower than Ding Ning, who seemed to have not yet practiced, and then remained silent for several breaths. , said self-deprecatingly:

"Everyone take a step back? But it seems that the Queen and her family don't want to give us this opportunity?"

At the same time that Xue Wangxu spoke, Du Qingjiao also took a step forward, an unusually calm aura came out between his palms, and he quickly condensed a white sword in his hand.

The blade of this sword is thick and short, and when held in the hand, it looks like a thick white sheep horn. Being able to fuse with the true essence flowing in his meridians, it is naturally the natal object that Du Qingjiao refined in the sixth realm, the unique "natal sword".

Obviously, unlike Ding Ning's speculation that the young girl was Jing Liuli, Du Qingjiao was more inclined to the other possibility mentioned by his junior brother. He felt that the other party was most likely a "family member" of the Queen of Qin Zheng Xiu, and immediately took precautions. attitude.

……

Everyone in the Qin Dynasty knew clearly that although Queen Zheng Xiu was from Zheng, the reason why she was able to become the queen was firstly because of her cultivation, beauty and wisdom, and the other most critical reason was because of her natal family. The Zheng family has amazing power in Jiaodong County.

In fact, before Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne, the entire Jiaodong County area was nominally the territory of the Qin Dynasty, but in fact it was almost equivalent to an independent dynasty under the jurisdiction of the Zheng family.

Before Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne, the Zheng family even had some shady alliances with the Daqi Dynasty.

Emperor Yuanwu's ascension to the throne largely came from the support of the Zheng family.

But other than that, Zheng Xiu's "family", the Zheng family that once trained practitioners like Zheng Xiu, has almost no idea what kind of practitioners there are in it.

Even when he besieged Wang Jingmeng and annihilated the Bashan sword field, Zheng Xiu mobilized countless forces from Jiaodong County, but no practitioners from the Zheng family clan officially showed up and took action. Only people with foreign surnames like Xu Fenqin Only the master is known to the world.

Since the old powerful families in Changling were all destroyed by the Bashan sword field led by "that man", Jiaodong County is now a powerful force in the Qin Dynasty. If you want to show your "independent will", you can completely ignore it. The attitude of the emperor and empress in dealing with its perceived enemies.

From the perspective of Xue Wangxu and Du Qingjiao, who had explored a lot of secret information out of sympathy for "that person", the talented young girl they saw in front of them might have been the one who came out of Jiaodong more than ten years ago and took advantage of the opportunity to grow up. The mausoleum of Zheng Xiu is happening again today.

Thinking of this, Xue Wangxu, the cave master of Baiyang Cave, did not care to observe Ding Ning, the new student recruited by his senior brother who was exempted from the test. Instead, he held the small white jade sword hanging on his waist in his hand and stepped towards the empty space on the edge of the cliff ahead. out.

His figure dropped slightly.

The next moment, a surge of heaven and earth energy surged from the front, and it was like there was an invisible ladder between heaven and earth, holding Xue Wangxu up steadily, allowing him to go higher.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound in the sky above, which was the sound of huge mountains moving in the sky.

This sound is the symbol of the Seven Realms Moving Mountain Realm. It is the echo produced by the massive energy of heaven and earth walking and gathering in the high air, colliding and falling.

In an instant, the sky seemed to suddenly collapse, and countless vitality of heaven and earth gathered towards the small white jade sword in Xue Wangxu's hand, and were forcibly compressed and integrated into every tiny drop of true energy in the sword.

Under the force of this sword, the white clouds and water vapor in the entire Baiyang Gorge were almost completely gone, and actually became much clearer.

Although there are different majors, practitioners all over the world are divided into nine realms according to their level of strength. The first realm is Tongxuan, the second realm is Qi refining, the third realm is true essence, the fourth realm is fusion essence, the fifth realm is spiritual thoughts, the sixth realm is natal life, and the seventh realm is moving. Mountain, eight realms of Qitian, and nine realms of immortality, each realm is divided into three levels.

The Eight Realms and Nine Realms have been legendary realms since ancient times. In the world of practitioners, those who can truly cultivate to the Seventh Realm and can use a huge amount of heaven and earth energy for their own use in an instant like moving a giant mountain will be He is already a true grand master.

The vast majority of practitioners in the world are often stuck between the third and fifth realms throughout their lives. They then find it difficult to make any further progress and age and die.

Almost no one would have imagined that the incompetent sect leader of a small sect who was the most mediocre and inconspicuous in the eyes of the outside world, and had even been forgotten by most people in Changling, would actually be a level higher than his senior brother. The great master of moving mountains?

……

However, this secret that was revealed for the first time was actually news that she already knew for Zhao Qing, who was misunderstood as an enemy by Xue Wangxu and regarded as a successor of the Minshan Sword Sect by Ding Ning.

Feeling the majestic aura pouring down from a mountain dozens of feet away, not long after entering this world, Zhao Qing, who secretly followed the protagonist Ding Ning of "Sword Dynasty" up the mountain, had no intention of retreating. On the contrary, There was a vague feeling of excitement.

Xue Wangxu is a benchmark figure who has first entered the "Seven Realms and Moving Mountains" in this world. If we can learn from him, we will naturally have a better understanding of the power division and realm characteristics of this world's cultivation system. Mingxiao knows roughly what his current position of strength is here.

Of course, before the official start of the fight, any misunderstandings that arise out of nowhere must be resolved first, so as not to cause any major conflicts.

In fact, the purpose of Zhao Qing's visit to Baiyang Cave is to cooperate with Xue Wangxu and other characters who have proven their character in the original work, to learn some detailed information, and to try to use Baiyang Cave as a foundation to expand. Develop your own power.

In her estimation, since she lost all the original equipment after entering the dream, her peak combat power must have dropped a bit, and it should be close to the bottom level of the "Lower Six Qi" realm. If converted to this world, it would probably be It will fall within the large scope of the Seven Realms.

Looking at the stronger ones, at the peak of the Seventh Realm, Wang Jingmeng killed Jing Huyue with a flying sword, the founder of Zhao Jianlu burned away the sulfur pond water with a single sword, and the aftermath of Baili Suxue's battle could shake Minshan out for as long as The crack, which is several miles long, looks quite powerful, and Zhao Qing thinks he can't do it yet.

Among the eight realms, the most unqualified Emperor Yuanwu flattened the mountains with one sword. In the past, the war launched by the unparalleled wind and rain sword of the eight realms of Tianliang Kingdom forcibly destroyed the Tianliang ancestral land with a population of millions. It turned into a basin and formed a ring of broken craters, which was truly earth-shattering.

From the above achievements, it can be seen that the practice in this world must have merits, and because most of the masters major in swordsmanship and study the law of vitality, they must be able to bring her a lot of gains.

In addition, the reincarnation of Ding Ning, the former "Sword Leader in the World" Wang Jingmeng, actually only took more than two years to cultivate back to a state that was slightly higher than when he and the founder of Zhao Jianlu were tied for the first place in the world. , which proves the theoretical quick success of this practice system.

It is very different from the Qin State and the Qin Dynasty in the previous history. In this world, it was the so-called "Dayou Dynasty" that unified the world for the first time. It was for the rise of new recruits in the Israeli army and the creation of the "Nine Death Silkworms" magic power to enter the Eighth Route Army. The most powerful person in history, Emperor You, was established at the pinnacle of the realm.

Such a powerful being who is suspected to be only half a step away from the Nine Realms of immortality. After his mysterious death, a considerable part of the inheritance left behind is said to have fallen on Wang Jingmeng. If you want to know the contents, you can You should have a good relationship with Ding Ning.

While estimating the potential resources in this world, Zhao Qing did not forget Shi Yiguang and the induction stone that should theoretically enter the "same dream" with her, and strangely discovered that these two obviously did not fall in the area around her. , requiring an extensive search.
