Yinshan Record

Chapter 586 A Chance Encounter Amidst the Golden Autumn Breeze and Jade Dew (Part 1
Sword cultivation is based on the spiritual essence among the nine methods of heaven and man, but that does not mean that no other methods are cultivated. For example, sword cultivators must also cultivate morality. The spiritual essence is the blade, and morality is the sheath. Only when they are in harmony can one be a true sword cultivator.

For the Xuanmen (mystical sects), this world is a blank canvas for drawing, requiring the harmonious application of the Nine Laws to slowly begin. For sword cultivators, however, it is a series of shackles, which can only be broken through with the sword to achieve liberation.

From this perspective, Xuanmen is adding, while Jiangong is subtracting.

However, someone in the East Sea Sword Palace came up with a unique approach, creating a new method that viewed other laws not as constraints, but as providing a space for transformation. However, according to Kong Kong'er, this lineage doesn't seem to be very popular in the East Sea today.

“We sword cultivators are all straightforward and can’t stand those who are all convoluted.”

Kongkong'er said, "But upon closer examination, their methods have their merits. After all, no matter which path a sword cultivator chooses, they all seek perfection and purity. But even with the purest sword intent, can one truly achieve liberation? Even with the Palace Master's abilities, it cannot be said that everything one desires can be obtained."

"I say... you're not one of the sword cultivators from this lineage, are you? I knew sword cultivators were all upright gentlemen, how come a bunch of you money-grubbing bastards have appeared out here..."

"Senior, you're practically insulting us. We're a legitimate cultivator of the Pure Land path, and at most we've been influenced by them, often discussing Dao with them. Sword cultivators are bound by the laws of morality, and our pursuit of wealth is also within the bounds of morality."

Kongkong'er said, "Actually, if you all trust me, why don't you let me teach this Su boy and see if we can help him condense his core as soon as possible using our lineage's methods? After all, this child is a disciple of a sword cultivator. Since we're already running a general store, we might as well sell more things."

"I think I should go find a Void-Stepping Ghost Cultivator."

The Ghost Ancestor of Beiman shook his head and said, "It's best to be cautious about matters that involve one's future path..."

As Ghost Ancestor spoke, he glanced at Yin Yang Dharma King, his unspoken message being nothing more than blaming this senior brother for getting things mixed up.

"Actually... I'd like to give it a try."

Su Che suddenly spoke, startling the three people around him.

"you?"

Ghost Ancestor looked at Su Che, wondering what this kid was up to.

"This seed of Ruomu from you was sent by Lord Zhongyuan, which means he clearly agreed to it."

Su Che slowly said, "Therefore, I also feel that everything right now might be a path that person has planned for me."

"Even if we take a step back, with my family's ancestor in charge, there will always be a solution, no matter what."

Su Che, on the other hand, had a good attitude.

Now that the die is cast, the seed of Ruomu has not only connected with its own Yinshan Cave Netherworld Treasure Record, but has also taken root and sprouted, and is now connected with the Dao Foundation.

Even if it's a case of "what's the use of trying anything," it's not necessarily a bad thing to try Kongkong's method.

As for what to do next... there's always a powerful figure like Huang Tiandao behind him to back him up. If there's any problem in the world that he can't solve, then no one else can.

Su Che was willing to try Kong Kong'er's method, after all, what Kong Kong said was right, his cultivation level had long since become a general store.

The "Secret Manual of the Yin Heaven of Zhou" and the "True Formula of the Six Dragons Returning to the Sun" passed down from Huang Tiandao's side...

The fundamental lineage of the ancient Azure Emperor, the "Taiyi Donghua Jade Book"...

And the true meaning of the Buddhist scripture "Future Star Constellation Calamity Sutra"...

There are also many Black Emperor techniques learned from the Yin-Yang Dharma King, the "Taiyu Abi Sword" learned from the Northern Mang Ghost Ancestor, and the "Five Weapons Sword Gu" and "Returning Wind and Withered Snow Sword Qi" from Yuyang Mountain...

All things considered, if Young Master Su were to recruit disciples from various backgrounds, it would be enough to train a medium-sized sect. Too many lice won't bite, too much debt won't worry you.

Su San Gongzi wouldn't care if there were other methods.

As a wise man once said, we should adopt the principle of "borrowing what is useful" and not be too prejudiced.

Yin Yang Dharma King and Bei Mang Ghost Ancestor were speechless for a moment, while Kong Kong'er was overjoyed.

"I knew we were kindred spirits. Come, let me see just how good your sword intent really is..."

"Don't rush."

Bei Mang Ghost Ancestor hurriedly said, "This matter still needs to be discussed. There are many eyes and ears in Jiankang City now, so we must act with a legitimate reason..."

After some discussion, they finally came up with a plan and arranged everything properly.

Su Che then bid farewell to the two immortal cultivators and returned to his residence.

The appearance of the Blood River Realm shook the entire cultivation world, a fact that Young Master Su could not witness, but the Liang Dynasty was quickly shaken.

First, they sent people to remove the people from the void rift and send them to Cizhou, which had just suffered from war, to prevent these people from being caught in the crossfire.

This is not to prevent the Blood River Realm from truly connecting with this world.

When that time comes, it will be a true catastrophe for heaven and earth. Even if we move to Cizhou, or even to the East China Sea, we may not be able to escape it.

This relocation method resulted in two consequences: firstly, a significant loss of population in Cizhou, and secondly, it served to guard against potential conflicts among heroes and powerful figures from all walks of life along the way.

By then, not only will people be seeking the Elixir of Immortality, but many will also be seeking the Void Stepping Realm.

The destruction caused by these guys probably came even earlier than those ethereal celestial demons.

A large number of people have already moved to Suzhou, the capital of Cizhou.

Indeed, the place was originally called Cizhou City, but after a certain Marquis of Changxin, who wished to remain anonymous, rose to prominence there, the newly appointed governor petitioned the court to change the name of the prefecture to Suzhou, meaning "to revive one's hometown".

As for why it's not called Fuzhou, Sangzhou, or Zizhou... if you ask so many questions, I'm afraid a secret policeman will come to invite you for tea right away, asking if you have any opinions about the current peaceful and prosperous Liang Dynasty.

In addition to relocating the population, the Liang Dynasty also dispatched many Imperial Censors and Jingye Division personnel to act as spies, hoping to find out the current situation in the cultivation world. Meanwhile, Wei Huaiwen personally led a large army north to re-establish control over Yongzhou and other places.

Old Su and Yuwen Rui had a gentleman's agreement, but such agreements are meant to be broken.

No one knows if something goes wrong in the heart of the Great Liang, or if the Grand Tutor in the north will be willing to bear the infamy and lead his troops south again in order to promote the unification of the country and quell the war.

They were all cunning foxes, and Wei Shuai was confident that if anything happened in Luoyang, he would at least squeeze some fat off Yuwen Rui, if not destroy the Northern Dynasty.

As for the East Sea, the announcement from Xuandu Palace caused an uproar, with all sorts of people eager to make their moves, and heroes and patriots feeling that they had finally found a stage to rise above their circumstances.

Meanwhile, Young Master Su quietly arrived at the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Pavilion when the time came.

Yes, it's that ordinary-looking building.
