Summary: Start With Azure Cloud Gate

Chapter 28 The True Secret to Killing Ghosts and Gods

The mountain behind Heaven-Connecting Peak is the ancestor’s ancestral hall.

The soft sunlight illuminates the majestic hall, making it look solemn and mysterious, but the ancestral hall is still a little dark. The dim light of the ever-burning lights and incense candles seems to be honoring the heroic spirits of Azure Cloud Gate's countless ancestors.

In the open space in front of the ancestral hall, a mysterious old man wearing a gray robe and a wrinkled face was still holding the broken broom and carefully sweeping the fallen leaves and dust on the ground.

At this moment, from the cliff in the distance, there was a sudden burst of excited shouting:

"Senior, senior..."

"I am coming!"

The old man turned around and saw a young man in green running towards here happily.

Seeing the young man's excited expression, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

But soon, as if he thought of something, the old man couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Isn't that what I used to be like?

I didn't expect that I would end up like this...

"senior……"

While the old man was reminiscing, the nimble figure of the young man had already arrived in front of him, looking at him with excitement.

The old man came back to his senses and said calmly: "What? Didn't you go to participate in the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition? How was the competition?"

Zhang Ruofeng smiled excitedly: "Senior, how did you know that I won the championship?"

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, but seeing the young man's happy expression, it still did not dampen his self-confidence. He nodded and said, "It turns out that I won the championship. No wonder I am so happy. Nagato's lineage won two consecutive Seventh Lineage Tournament. Wu's champion, if nothing else happens, can continue to be glorious for another hundred years. Yes, let's keep up our efforts and strive to break through to the top as soon as possible."

"Thank you, senior, I will definitely work hard!"

Zhang Ruofeng nodded solemnly, and then said expectantly: "Senior, do you have anything else to say to me?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What else do you want to say?"

"No... Senior, didn't my master tell you?" Zhang Ruofeng was anxious.

The old man said calmly: "Master You is the leader of a sect. He is busy with affairs on weekdays. How can he have time to talk to me, an old man?"

Zhang Ruofeng said anxiously: "Well...my master is really busy at ordinary times, but if you feel lonely, I will definitely come to see you often in the future. If that doesn't work, how about I find you a wife, so that you won't be lonely anymore." .”

The old man's face twitched, he picked up the broom and pretended to hit him. He glared and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Hehe..." Zhang Ruofeng smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I don't care, anyway, the master has said that let me learn some skills from the seniors. If you don't teach me, I will go back and tell the master."

"I'm afraid your master won't be able to control me."

The old man said calmly.

However, looking at Zhang Ruofeng's rogue appearance, he still shook his head and laughed, and then sighed: "Well, since your master said so, then I will give him face."

"But you have a solid foundation and have learned some basic techniques of Azure Cloud Gate. I have nothing to teach you."

"I only use one sword. How much you can understand depends on your own ability."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the Canglong Sword in Zhang Ruofeng's hand suddenly trembled violently.

The next second!

"Changlang——"

The sharp sword sound sounded, and the dark light was as terrifying as the bottomless abyss next to it, making people tremble.

The old man stretched out his withered and thin palm, which had experienced many years of wind and frost, and slowly grasped the Canglong Sword.

At this moment, Zhang Ruofeng's expression suddenly changed. He felt that he had lost control of the Canglong Sword. The feeling of connection between heart and blood had disappeared, as if the sword no longer belonged to him.

‘Is this the strength of the Shangqing Realm? ! ’ Zhang Ruofeng was shocked.

Suddenly, the sword screamed again, the blue dragon sword whistled endlessly, and there were faint dragon roars coming from the sword, which was breathtaking and went straight to the nine heavens.

The old man stood up straight, and his whole appearance seemed to have changed. He was no longer as old and ordinary as before. An invisible aura surged from him, as if he was the legendary ancient sword god!

"Look carefully, my sword is called - Killing Ghosts and Gods!" The old man said calmly while standing in the surging dim light.

Just as he finished speaking, the dark light suddenly surged on the Canglong Sword, followed by a dragon roar that shook the nine heavens!

I saw the endless light flickering, gathering quickly, and soon turned into a ball of scorching flames that tightly wrapped the old man, like countless suns bursting out in an instant, shining brightly, as if they wanted to drive away all the darkness in the world.

laugh!

The next moment, the figure of the old man suddenly appeared, as if shocking the gods of the Nine Heavens!

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and the heaven and earth were in a state of death.

The pale old figure was holding the Canglong Divine Weapon, and the dark light and flames emanated from his body, seemingly endless; and his eyes were shining brightly, like the Unity of Man and Sword, and the whole person had turned into a huge pillar of light, like a giant sword that opened the sky. , righteous and awe-inspiring, majestic, blasting upward towards the endless blue sky.

"Rumble..."

Amidst the thousands of dim lights and blazing flames, the Canglong Sword roared with great momentum. Although it was in mid-air, the sword energy rushed straight into the sky, instantly sweeping away all the sea of ​​clouds above the blue sky, within a radius of several hundred feet. There was nothing, revealing the blue sky, as if in an instant the heaven and earth had lost all other colors due to such terrifying sword power.

The wind roared, and the flames were like waves.

That figure stood out of thin air, like a god from the Nine Heavens, which was awe-inspiring and revered.

There was silence.

The old man held the sword in the air and looked at the blue sky. Then he lowered his head to look at the Canglong Sword in his hand, gently caressing the sword body, with a look of deep nostalgia and reminiscence in his eyes...

After a while, an excited voice suddenly sounded:

"Senior, you still said you don't know how to practice?!"

Zhang Ruofeng walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the old figure in the air with excitement. The blood all over his body was already boiling uncontrollably.

Kill the ghosts and gods, kill the ghosts and gods!

The sword used by Wan Jianyi seemed to be able to kill ghosts and gods!

The terrifying power unleashed by this sword caused the heaven and earth to eclipse it, and made all living things mute.

Even the spiritual power in his own body seemed to be attracted by this sword, and he had the urge to leave his body.

In comparison, during the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Showdown, the Sword-Inducing Canglong True Technique and Lu Xueqi's Divine Sword-Controlling Thunder True Technique he performed were just like children playing house.

Although they are all the four true techniques of Azure Cloud Gate, what they used is not at the same level as Wan Jianyi's sword.

Perhaps the main reason for this is that Wan Jianyi's cultivation strength is far superior to theirs, but it is also undeniable that the power of this 'true secret to slaying ghosts and gods' is undeniable.

Zhang Ruofeng's heart was full of fire, and he was already eagerly looking forward to practicing this sword.

The old man came back to his senses, looked down, sighed, and let go of the right hand holding the sword. The Canglong Sword fell on its own and flew back to the scabbard in Zhang Ruofeng's hand.

Then the old man moved slightly and fell back to the ground. He looked at Zhang Ruofeng who looked excited and asked, "How much have you understood?"

"Uh..." Zhang Ruofeng also came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I didn't see clearly. Senior, how about you use another sword?"

The old man was speechless, glared at him, and said: "No way, it's your ability to understand, and it's your incompetence if you can't understand. Anyway, I have already taught you what you need to teach."

After that, he ignored the resentment on Zhang Ruofeng's face and passed on all the exercise routes and formulas of the 'True Secret of Killing Ghosts and Gods' to him.

Zhang Ruofeng didn't dare to be amused anymore, and quickly gathered his mind and wrote down everything the old man said with a serious face.

Seeing this, the old man's expression softened a lot. He smiled slightly and said, "What do you think we practice for?"

Zhang Ruofeng pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "In order to become an immortal, live forever, to make yourself stronger?"

The old man neither shook his head nor nodded, and continued to ask: "Then why do you think we become immortals and become stronger?"

Zhang Ruofeng pondered again.

This time, he was silent for a long time.

The old man didn't rush him, just looked at him quietly.

Finally, Zhang Ruofeng raised his head and said firmly: "Becoming stronger is for protection."

The old man smiled with satisfaction.

Then, he nodded and said, "You are right. The ultimate goal of cultivators like us is to protect."

"Protect yourself, protect the people you want to protect, and protect the justice in this world!"

"And the core of this 'True Secret to Killing Ghosts and Gods' does not lie in how high your realm is or how strong your spiritual power is, but in the awe-inspiring righteousness in your heart."

"The stronger the righteousness you hold on to in your heart, the greater the power of this sword. On the contrary, it will be difficult to exert even one-tenth of the power of this sword."

"I hope you will keep this in mind."

Zhang Ruofeng nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, this junior must remember it."

After saying that, he knelt down directly, looked at the old man, and said solemnly: "The kindness of the elders in preaching will never be forgotten by the younger generation. However, the younger generation already has a teacher, so he can no longer worship the older generation as his teacher. Please accept the courtesy of half a teacher from the younger generation. From now on, The juniors will definitely treat their seniors as their mentors, remember the teachings of their seniors, take it as their own responsibility to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, and carry forward my Qingyun sect!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ruofeng immediately kowtowed, and kowtowed heavily towards the old man.

The old man's face suddenly showed deep relief, and he did not stop him. He accepted Zhang Ruofeng's half-master gift, which was equivalent to recognizing this half-disciple.

"Okay, get up."

After Zhang Ruofeng finished his salute, the old man reached out to help him up. He even lowered his head and patted the dust off his knees. He looked at him and whispered:

"When you come down the mountain this time, I have something to tell you."

"Everyone in the world knows that demons from demon cults are insidious and vicious, but you need to remember that sometimes what is more terrifying than demons is the human heart. You must not trust others at will."

Zhang Ruofeng clasped his hands solemnly: "Yes, this junior will remember it."

The old man smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "Go, Canglong is destined not to dive into the abyss all his life. It is your destiny to soar to the sky. I will be here in the ancestral hall, waiting for the day when you will ascend to the sky. "

"Junior will not let you down."

Zhang Ruofeng nodded, then decisively turned around, raised the Canglong Sword, and flew away through the air.

The old man watched quietly until his figure completely disappeared, then turned around and looked deep into the woods next to him.

In the woods, an old man with a crane-like appearance walked out.

The two old men looked at each other with a look of relief on their faces.

"Your efforts over the years have not been in vain." The old man sweeping the floor said softly.

"You too." Daoxuan Perfect Being responded with a chuckle.
