I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

no……

They really just gave it to me like that?

This is a sword gifted by the Sword Sect!!!

When they watched as Gu Xiuzhen took the black longsword, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Immediately following was a feeling of utter disbelief.

"When the Sword Sect bestows a sword, it is not like an ordinary person giving away a treasure. In the Tianyuan Sword Sect, the bestowal of a sword has only two meanings. One is that the Sword Sect is giving away its own inheritance and regards the sword as its successor!"

"What about the second one?"

"Entrusting the child! The person who gave the sword was already prepared to die, even ready to face death. By giving away the sword, he was essentially passing on the karma, hoping that the recipient would treat his descendants well after receiving it!"

"Then... what are Senior Jiang's plans this time?"

"It must be to take on a disciple. Five hundred years ago, Gu Xiu almost became a disciple of the Tianyuan Sword Sect. Back then, the Sword Saint intended for his disciple to take Gu Xiu as a disciple, but Gu Xiu refused. However, five hundred years later, the Sword Sect still thinks highly of Gu Xiu!"

"..."

A burst of discussion erupted at this moment. No one expected that Jiang Jiansi would suddenly send out this sword at this time. The expectations that had risen in the heart of the monk Jingyan were completely shattered at this moment.

Gu Xiu, however, didn't take it seriously at all. He was holding the black longsword and examining it carefully. This black longsword was indeed unique. At first glance, it looked like charcoal, frail and weak. You could even see fine cracks on the blade. But within this charcoal color, there were golden marks constantly moving around, making it seem as if your mind could be drawn in with just one glance.

Gu Xiu, clad in black robes, casually swung his longsword, unleashing a terrifying sword aura that sent shivers down the spines of many onlookers.

"What a fine piece of stuff! What's the name of this sword?" Gu Xiu, dressed in black, turned and asked, quite pleased with himself.

But Jiang Jiansi remained silent on this question.

Just as Gu Xiu in black robes thought he didn't know, he heard Jiang Jiansi say softly:

"So much hatred, in last night's dream."

"It's just like the old days when we strolled through the imperial garden, with carriages flowing like water and horses like dragons."

"Flowers bloom, the moon shines, and the spring breeze blows."

Gu Xiu, dressed in black, frowned.

What the hell?

Jiang Jiansi then added:

"This sword is called..."

"Holding onto falsehoods!"

Attachment to falsehood?

Upon hearing these two words, Gu Xiu's pupils suddenly contracted, and even the chains binding the "heart demon" within the Sealed Heart Realm seemed to waver at that moment.

“Stubbornly clinging to delusion…” Gu Xiu murmured inside the room.

However, at this moment, the voice that had been interfering with Gu Xiu appeared again, repeating the same sentence over and over.

"You're so disappointing..."

Upon hearing these words, the wavering in Gu Xiu's eyes outside the black robes stabilized once more. He casually tossed the Zhiwang Sword, nodded with a grin to Jiang Jian Si, and then looked at the monk Jingyan over there:

“Little bald monk, this broken wooden fish has been struck for so long, it seems it is rightfully mine.”

talking.

He simply and openly accepted the wooden fish into his possession.

Jingyan's face turned pale and then red, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, he couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal and could only watch helplessly as Gu Xiu accepted the merit wooden fish.

"It's dawn!" someone shouted.

Looking up, I saw that on the eastern horizon, the dark blue sky, which was originally so thick that it seemed impossible to see through, was now piercing through with streaks of light from the corners of the sky. These streaks of light turned into flames, igniting the clouds and bringing in rays of morning sun that swept across the mountains and fields like a tide, dispelling the chill of the night.

Dawn breaks.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiansi calmly said, "Now that it's dawn, let's officially begin the sword-worshiping ceremony..."

"Wait!" Jingyan hurriedly said.

But before he could finish speaking, Lu Dongshan started cursing: "Bald monk, are you done yet? This is the Tianyuan Sword Sect, is this a place where you can run wild?"

“Benefactor Jiang, this matter is of utmost importance, we…”

"What do you mean, 'you'? You Buddhists have nothing better to do than cause trouble. You've failed twice already. What, you still won't admit defeat? Have some shame!"

"This is a very serious matter..."

"You bunch of bald monks from the Western Desert are the most untrustworthy, yet you love to put on a show of righteousness. Do you really think we don't know about this? Are you planning to keep making trouble for us?"

"I...I..." Even Jingyan, who was known for his silver tongue, was furious after being rebuked by Lü Dongshan. He stammered "I...I..." for a long time, but couldn't utter a single complete sentence. Helpless, he could only grit his teeth, take out a bronze bowl, and throw it towards the sky.

In an instant, the bronze bowl enlarged and covered everyone, completely blocking out the light brought by the dawn.

After doing all this, Monk Jingyan bowed to Jiang Jiansi and said, "Benefactor Jiang, this matter is of great importance, please give this humble monk another chance!"

"Bald donkey, you..."

Seeing that Lü Dongshan was about to interrupt again, Monk Jingyan dared not listen any longer and immediately said, "This matter involves an immortal descending to earth, and an immortal capable of destroying the world. If there is the slightest mistake, the entire universe will be in complete chaos. I beg Benefactor Jiang to listen to me again!"

“You have broken your promise,” Jiang Jiansi replied.

Jingyan's heart skipped a beat.

Just when he was filled with despair, Gu Xiu in black robes spoke up, saying, "Tell me how you plan to continue slandering me. By the way, this bronze bowl of yours looks very powerful."

Upon hearing this, Jingyan's eyelids twitched violently.

He's got his eye on it!

After taking away his own robe for salvation and the wooden fish for merit, he set his sights on his own bronze alms bowl!

Fortunately.

Seeing that Gu Xiu himself had said so, Jiang Jiansi did not continue to make things difficult for Monk Jingyan. He nodded and said, "I can give you another half an incense stick's time."

Say it.

Sword energy surged forth, and the bronze bowl that had been covering everyone's heads suddenly made a loud noise before quickly disappearing and returning to the hands of the monk Jingyan.

Monk Jingyan dared not delay any longer and immediately said:

"Although I don't know why things that my Buddhist sect is certain of keep going wrong, this last piece of evidence is absolutely certain that it won't be wrong again!"

"Our Buddhist community never lies!"

"Pfft!" Lu Dongshan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You bald monk, haven't you told enough lies? How come you can say such things without blushing or skipping a beat? Could it be that the first thing you learn when you join your Buddhist sect is to lie through your teeth?"

This remark immediately drew bursts of laughter.

obviously.

After the two previous failures, the reputation of Buddhism had plummeted in the eyes of the people, and they would be completely distrustful and prejudiced against what Monk Jingyan said.

Jingyan certainly knew this principle.

But even as the crowd continued to laugh at him, he ignored all the mockery and continued speaking earnestly, as if to himself:

“The descent of immortals has never been a rare occurrence since ancient times, nor is it a big secret. However, Gu Xiu is no ordinary immortal descent. He is the young master of an immortal sect, or at least someone with an immortal venerable standing behind him. It is even possible that he himself is the reincarnation of an immortal venerable from the immortal realm!”

"What this means, I believe that those of you present who are familiar with it will understand the reason."

"He is no ordinary immortal."

"Instead, he is an immortal who has severed all ties of love and is no longer entangled in karmic relationships!"

"he……"

"They are the culprits that will destroy the world!!!"

Upon hearing this, the group, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, suddenly seemed to have their throats gripped. Even the relaxed demeanor that Lü Dongshan had been deliberately displaying turned serious.

Things related to immortals have been rare throughout history.

but……

If we're talking about a young master of a celestial sect, or even a reincarnation of a celestial venerable...

This is truly rare.

more importantly……

"When an ordinary immortal descends to earth, that's all there is to it. But the law of cause and effect in the world is the most unpredictable thing. Even the immortals in heaven fear such power. And the more powerful the immortal, the more they fear the entanglements of unrelated causes and effects."

"Therefore, when an immortal of extraordinary status descends to earth, he will sever all emotional ties in advance, cutting off any possibility of forming a karmic entanglement with the people of this world."

"Only in this way can they truly eradicate all karmic ties of this world when they leave. This is what they must do before leaving this world, and the way to eradicate karmic ties is to slaughter all those related to them and sever all karmic ties of this world!"

"So whether Gu Xiu lights all the candles in the human world or extinguishes them all, it means that Gu Xiu has endless karma with this world."

"His identity as the young master of the immortal sect will ultimately determine his choice."

"Point your butcher's knife at the living beings of the vast universe!"

"He only has this one option."

"Kill everyone, sever all ties!"

"He is the Immortal Who Destroys the World!!!"
