I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

When the news spread quickly, everyone seemed to be immersed in the charm of that sword and could not extricate themselves for a long time.

"The Sword of the Sea, the Sword of the Sea, it really lives up to its reputation!"

"He killed eleven Tianyuan realm warriors with just one sword. How powerful is that!"

"It is said that many years ago, Senior Xu went up the mountain to challenge Dao Zun and was defeated by a single sword strike. I didn't expect that his sword heart would not be broken, but he would reach a higher level. He is truly a role model for our generation!"

After hearing about this, people were full of praise, and their words were filled with respect for Xu Zhiqing.

"Why is it this old bastard again?!"

"My dream of being the first has been shattered!"

Helian Cheng slammed Jianghu Zhi on the table, wailed, and his face was full of despair.

He thought he had every chance of becoming the first person in the Yuan Dynasty besides Yuan Ge to enter the Tiangang Realm, but he didn't expect a dark horse to show up halfway.

This Xu Zhiqing caused a huge sensation when he stepped into the Tianyuan Realm. Unexpectedly, now he is the first to step into the Tiangang Realm.

Nowadays, everyone in the martial arts world is discussing the matter of Xu Zhiqing, the Sword Master of the Sea, which has shocked countless sects. Some of the sect's top disciples even regard Xu Zhiqing as their target to catch up with.

For a time, the name of Guanhai Zangjian Xu Zhiqing became well-known and he was in the limelight.

Just as his legend was spreading in the world, the protagonist Xu Zhiqing once again revisited the old place.

Xu Zhiqing still looked the same as he did back then, with untidy beard and eyes as sharp as swords. His originally mixed black and white hair had turned completely silver and was casually tied up with straw.

Just by standing there, a sharp sword intent rose up from his whole body, shattering the sky. With every step he took, the sound of rushing waves could be faintly heard.

When he reached the mountain gate of Fuzhen Temple, some warriors could even clearly sense that the sword in Xu Zhiqing's hand had been brewing sword intent like a raging storm, and once it came out of the body, it would ruthlessly destroy everything in front of it.

"Could it be that Xu Zhiqing wants to ask about the time when he was defeated by Dao Zun with a sword?"

The warriors who had witnessed what happened back then were secretly guessing in their hearts.

Back then, Xu Zhiqing challenged Dao Zun, but was defeated by the latter with one sword.

Now that so many years have passed, Xu Zhiqing has entered the Tiangang realm, and his cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is many times stronger than before.

"Tsk, who is the Dao Zun? An immortal. No matter how powerful Xu Zhiqing is, can he beat an immortal?"

Some people also scoffed at the view that Xu Zhiqing wanted revenge.

For a moment, countless people gathered in front of the gate of Fuzhen Temple, all wanting to see what Xu Zhiqing was up to.

Xu Zhiqing was seen standing in front of the mountain gate for a long time, and then he encouraged his cultivation. His voice was as loud as a huge bell, and spread throughout the Dayuan Mountain.

"Junior Xu Zhiqing, begging to see the Dao Master!"

"Xu Zhiqing, I would like to see the Taoist..."

"Seeking to see the Dao Zun..."

The lingering sound lingered in Fuzhen Temple for a long time.

Xu Zhiqing just knelt on the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, Yan Xiu's voice came faintly from the highest point of Dayuan Mountain.

"You are now in the Tiangang realm, and you killed eleven Tianyuan realms with one sword. You are also the leader in the Great Yuan martial arts world. Why do you come to my Fuzhen Temple?"

Xu Zhiqing didn't expect to get a response and was very excited.

He raised his head and said with a sincere face: "Dao Zun, you are too kind. My sword was just a poor imitation of yours. If Dao Zun had not advised me to travel, I would probably still be wandering in Tianyuan Realm now."

"I came here this time hoping to worship under the Taoist Master and follow in your footsteps to continue to glimpse the higher realms of martial arts."

Xu Zhiqing knew that he broke through the Tiangang realm not by relying on his own aptitude, but more because of the mark left in his heart by Yan Xiu's sword.

Even Xu Zhiqing today probably wouldn't dare to say that he would be 100% able to block that sword if faced with it.

There was silence for a long time, and when everyone thought that Xu Zhiqing would return empty-handed, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred.

I saw a thousand-foot-long rosy glow appearing in the sky, and a colorful ladder descended from the sky to Xu Zhiqing.

Xu Zhiqing looked ecstatic. He stood up and walked down the stairs step by step towards the clouds, finally disappearing from everyone's sight.

When Xu Zhiqing arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he carefully tidied his appearance and then gently knocked on the door.

After getting permission, he gently pushed the door open and walked in.

When he saw Yan Xiu's face, he seemed a little dazed.

After so many years, Dao Zun's appearance has not changed even a little bit, as if time could not leave the slightest trace on him.

"Junior Xu Zhiqing greets Dao Zun."

Xu Zhiqing bowed very respectfully, without any airs of a Tiangang realm master.

After all, the Taoist master in front of him was revered as an immortal by countless people in the world, and his small Tiangang realm was nothing in front of him.

Yan Xiu nodded slightly as a response.

"This junior has used such despicable means to seek an audience with the Dao Master. I hope the Dao Master will forgive me."

Xu Zhiqing thought that his coming to Fuzhen Temple to meet Daozun in a high-profile manner as soon as he broke through the Tiangang realm was a big deal in the eyes of the martial artists. However, Xu Zhiqing was afraid that his action would leave a bad impression on Daozun, so he hurried to explain.

After all, it is extremely difficult to meet the Taoist Master. If I hadn't broken through the Tiangang realm, I would probably not have had the chance to see him.

"It doesn't matter."

Yan Xiu waved his hand and didn't care.

"You are now at the Tiangang realm, and you are qualified to found a sect and become a great master in the Great Yuan martial arts world. Why do you have to worship at my Fuzhen Temple?"

Now that Xu Zhiqing is the second Tiangang realm master in the Yuan Dynasty, as long as he is willing to establish his own school, I am afraid that countless warriors will come to him to become his disciple and learn skills.

With his current influence and strength, it is very likely that he will become a rising star in the world by catching up from behind.

Xu Zhiqing shook his head and said, "I know my own limit. It was just luck that I was able to break through the Tiangang realm."

As for establishing a new school of thought, he had also thought about it.

However, compared with the desire to explore martial arts and become a master, he still feels that the former is more attractive.

After all, with Dao Zun as a guiding light ahead, he only needs to follow in Yan Xiu's footsteps.

Maybe it would be possible to break through the Hunyuan realm in the future, or even reach an unknown realm beyond the Hunyuan realm.

"I am willing to serve under the Taoist Master, and I hope the Taoist Master will grant my wish!"

If Xu Zhiqing would take him as his master, it would undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for Fuzhen Temple.

However, Yan Xiu always attached great importance to the word "fate" when accepting disciples, and finally rejected Xu Zhiqing.

Xu Zhiqing looked dejected when he heard this and smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he still could not catch the Taoist's eye.

"Since this junior has no chance to meet the Dao Master, I can only say that I am unlucky."

"I ask the Daozun to lead me into Fuzhen Temple. I am willing to start as a disciple and have no complaints."

Xu Zhiqing knew that there was no hope, and he had some subtle thoughts in his mind.
