Number One Sword Art in the World

Myriad Beginnings Great Hall.

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord appears to be very mysterious.

This aroused Lu Changsheng's curiosity.

Why do some people always like to keep others in suspense?

Why do you have to be deliberately mysterious when you could have just said it all?

Is it fun? Is it interesting?

Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought, and after careful consideration, pondered for a moment.

Hey, you know what, it's actually quite interesting.

However, it's only fun to do things that pique people's interest when you're the only one doing them; it's unpleasant when others do them.

Lu Changsheng looked at the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord.

The latter pretended to be mysterious for a while before speaking.

"The sword manual of the Purple Azure Holy Land is only half complete."

This is what the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord said.

"Only half?"

Lu Changsheng was completely shocked.

Can an immortal holy land be created with only half of a sword manual?

This is way too exaggerated!

Although Lu Changsheng did not understand other holy lands, he could still tell how terrifying a holy land was by the standards of the Great Luo Holy Land.

The Ten Great Holy Lands of Central Province are not ranked, but everyone knows that the Great Luo Holy Land is actually aiming for the top spot, while the Purple Azure Holy Land, although not in the top three, is not at the bottom either, ranking only sixth or seventh.

However, this is only half of the sword manual.

This is terrifying.

Just like the Great Luo Holy Land, if half of its core cultivation method were missing, the Great Luo Holy Land would probably have to be renamed the Great Luo Sect.

"Senior, what kind of sword manual is it that can be recognized as a holy land by the Ziqing Sect with only half a sword manual?"

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ask.

"The Number One Sword in the World".

This is what the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord said.

The six words were powerful and resounding.

"The Number One Sword in the World Technique?"

This name is truly imposing; no wonder half a sword manual was enough to make the Purple Azure Holy Land one of the Ten Great Holy Lands.

What is the Number One Sword in the World?

Lu Changsheng continued to ask.

"The sword transforms into all things, all things transform into the sword, the sword transforms into all things, and all things become the sword."

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord rambled on about things that Lu Changsheng couldn't understand, and perhaps even he himself couldn't understand them.

But these kinds of remarks were the most captivating, and everyone in the entire hall listened attentively to what the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord had to say.

"Back then, in the Shu Gate Holy Land, the older generation of Swordsmanship believed that there are three thousand ways of the sword, each with its own merits, but all leading to the same destination."

"However, the Purple Azure Twins believed that the way of the sword is infinite, evolving into all forms, and ultimately leading to the same goal, so the two had a huge ideological conflict."

"It was precisely because of this ideological conflict that the Purple Azure Twins relinquished their positions as Holy Son. The two left the Purple Azure Holy Land and wandered the world, experiencing all aspects of life and visiting renowned sword masters. Ultimately, through countless exchanges and sparring, they evolved the Myriad Manifestations Sword Art, which is the Number One Sword Art in the World."

"Then the Purple Azure Holy Land was established. In just ten thousand years, the Purple Azure Holy Land has firmly established itself in the Central Province Plains. After the Purple Azure Holy Land has established itself, the two seniors, Purple and Green, continued to devote themselves to deducing the Number One Sword Art in the World."

"However, when the two seniors, Purple Azure Twins, were about to succeed, one of them went into a Qi Deviation. In order to save the other, the two went to the Great Wilderness Mountain to find a divine medicine, but they never returned. Some people say that the two of them have become immortals."

"Some say that because Senior Qing Cheng died from Qi Deviation, Senior Zi Zhen also left this world with her. But no one knows what the final outcome was. The only thing we know is that they just disappeared, leaving half of the sword manual for the Purple Azure Holy Land."

This is what the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord said.

This story is very captivating, and Lu Changsheng was indeed drawn in.

Two lovers, obsessed with swords and born for swords, angrily relinquished their title of Holy Son due to differing ideals. They then wandered the world under immense pressure, seeking out renowned masters and comprehending the way of the sword. Ultimately, they founded the Purple Azure Holy Land, solely to prove that the path they had chosen was the right one.

Later, he went astray in his Qi Deviation and went to the Great Wilderness Mountain, where he eventually disappeared without a trace, leaving behind endless legends and stories.

However, it must be said that the half of the sword manual from the Purple Azure Holy Land is truly terrifying.

Although Lu Changsheng is Peerless Sword Immortal with unmatched sword intent, he has no sword techniques whatsoever, which is his weakness.

It's like having a chef with exceptional cooking talent but no ingredients, no salt, and no chili peppers.

"And I think that the Purple Azure Holy Lord will probably discuss something with you this time."

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord spoke, saying these words.

"Discuss business? What is it?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat curious.

"I can't say, it's hard to say. You'll know when you get to the Purple Azure Holy Land."

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord didn't speak further, and started to whet people's appetites again. I don't know where he learned that skill.

Although he felt a little itchy, Lu Changsheng didn't ask any more questions.

Since they don't say it, there must be a reason. Perhaps some things can only be understood implicitly and cannot be asked.

However, the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Why hasn't he asked me yet?"

He had been waiting for Lu Changsheng to ask him questions.

However, Lu Changsheng did not ask any more questions, which made Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord feel a little uncomfortable.

Ask me quickly! Ask me and I'll tell you.

Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng misunderstood his meaning and genuinely thought that he shouldn't ask any more questions, so he didn't continue asking.

This caused the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord to feel inexplicably unwell.

It's like knowing a secret that the other person is sure to be curious about, but they just won't ask—that's really frustrating.

This is especially agonizing for someone like me who keeps quiet.

Just then, Zheng Haoran's voice suddenly rang out.

"Senior Brother Lu, will you be participating in this Heaven's Pride Assembly?"

He asked about the Heaven's Pride Assembly.

This was the second time Lu Changsheng had heard of the Heaven's Pride Assembly.

Although I don't know much about it, I roughly know what kind of gathering the so-called "Heaven's Pride Assembly" is.

"Uh, I probably shouldn't go!"

Lu Changsheng didn't plan to go, but he had a feeling that if he firmly said he wouldn't go, he would eventually go; if he said he probably wouldn't go, he probably really wouldn't go.

"Not going? That's a gathering that only happens once every few years. Those who can go are all the most outstanding talents of our time. Senior Brother Lu should attend. Otherwise, some petty people who have never met Senior Brother Lu will probably keep making noise all day long, especially those few people from the Eastern Land. A few days ago, they even openly humiliated Senior Brother. Shouldn't Senior Brother Lu go and teach them a lesson?"

Zheng Haoran was somewhat surprised.

You're not going to the Heaven's Pride Assembly? Such a great opportunity to show off, and you're not going? Look at me, I want to go but I don't dare to, afraid of being relegated to a supporting role.

"All fame is but fleeting smoke; only personal strength is eternal."

Lu Changsheng calmly gave himself an excuse.

"Good!"

"As expected of my Changsheng, Martial Nephew, you have already achieved great enlightenment at such a young age. Well done!"

"Changsheng, Martial Nephew Changsheng is truly extraordinary. At such a young age, he has already reached this level. I am ashamed. I have cultivated for three thousand years before I could see through everything in this world and barely reached the state of 'the highest good is like water.' Compared to them, I am several times better, but compared to Changsheng, Martial Nephew, I am still not good enough."

"Alas, if I were the same age as my Changsheng, Martial Nephew, I think I would only be one-tenth the age."

Everyone praised Lu Changsheng, and then took the opportunity to praise themselves as well.

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord was also deeply moved. "Changsheng, Martial Nephew, you truly deserve to be called the Qilin Child. Whether it is your State of Mind or your cultivation, you are a hundred times more outstanding than other geniuses of your age."

After saying this, the Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord looked at Zheng Haoran with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Look at your behavior. You don't cultivate properly all day long. After all these years, you can't even become a Holy Son. You still want to participate in this conference and that conference. After your Changsheng, Martial Nephew leaves, you get back to cultivation. You can only go out when you break through to the Spirit Transformation stage."

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord said angrily.

Zheng Haoran: "???"

What does this have to do with me?

Why are you scolding me?

Whether I become Holy Son or not is up to you to decide.

And so, amidst the laughter and cheers that followed, the feast continued until the hour of Chou (1-3 AM).

Lu Changsheng went back to rest.

After that, he spent the rest of his days discussing formations with Elder Chen Ling.

Twenty days passed, and Lu Changsheng had no choice but to leave.

The main problem is that it took too long.

If we stay in the Purple Azure Holy Land for a few more days, we can't possibly miss the Exquisite Longevity Feast, can we?

Thus, under strong pressure, Lu Changsheng left the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land, marking the successful completion of his visit.

They flew towards the Purple Azure Holy Land.

Since they are not far apart, there is no need to use a teleportation array.

Meanwhile.

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord and Zheng Haoran watched Lu Changsheng leave.

After a while, Zheng Haoran scratched his head and asked, "Master, do you think Senior Brother Lu can help the Purple Azure Holy Land repair the sword manual?"

He asked this question with great curiosity.

"Meeting."

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord answered directly, without any hesitation.

"Why is Master so certain?"

Zheng Haoran asked curiously.

The Myriad Beginnings Holy Lord let out a breath.

Then, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, he slowly spoke.

"Because Changsheng was just as handsome as I was when I was young."

Zheng Haoran: ""
