The majestic words were settled, and the lingering echoes carried an undeniable pressure.
Zhou Qi's face froze instantly, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and his heart was full of annoyance and regret.
He raised his hand and gave himself a gentle slap on the cheek, cursing secretly. "What a mean person! If you insist on rounding up some round numbers, you're totally screwed now!"
Annoyed, he didn't dare to delay at all.
Fu Linyuan summons, any delay would be disrespectful.
Zhou Qi jumped up, Air-Breaking Slash stood up, stepped on the clouds and passed over the high mountains, and quickly rushed towards the small courtyard on the top of Heavenly Sword Peak.
In a moment, he had arrived at the courtyard on the top of the mountain.
The breeze blows slowly in the courtyard, falling stars are flying in the air, and it is quiet and quiet.
Fu Linyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his back facing the direction of the courtyard door. His white clothes were tall and straight, and there was no breath coming out of his body, making it impossible to understand his emotions at the moment.
Zhou Qi couldn't clearly see Master's expression, and felt increasingly uneasy. He didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he stepped forward quickly, bowed his head, and gave the most respectful disciple salute:
"Disciple Zhou Qi, pay homage to Master!"
There was silence in the courtyard, and you could hear a needle drop.
Fu Linyuan did not turn around or reply. The whole courtyard was quiet and a bit depressing.
Just when Zhou Qi was tense and secretly speculating, Fu Linyuan slowly raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the Stone Sword that was deeply embedded in the bluestone plate in the courtyard.
Zhou Qi's eyes narrowed and his mind suddenly lifted.
He knows this sword!
Previously, when the great elder Black Crane went up the mountain to plead guilty, during the confrontation, Fu Linyuan pulled out this sword, and its power shook the entire Heavenly Sword Peak.
This is Fu Linyuan's natal sword!
The next moment, a rough and thick friction sound slowly sounded, chila--
The simple Stone Sword rises out of the hard stone plate little by little.
As the sword body completely separated from the stone plate, the last trace of friction sound disappeared, and the entire mottled Stone Sword was completely exposed in the air.
Buzz--
But the expected shocking sword power did not explode.
On the contrary, at the moment when the sword body appeared, the thousands of kendo auras and majestic sword intent that lingered over the entire Sword Intent Courtyard instantly returned to zero and dissipated.
One second it was a holy land of spiritual practice, and the next second it was completely dull, no different from an ordinary mountain with plenty of Spiritual Qi.
Zhou Qi My heart suddenly shrank, and a strong panic arose in my heart for no reason.
He instantly remembered the look in Fu Linyuan's eyes when he asked him to leave last time, the doubt, inquiry and strong curiosity that could not be hidden in his eyes.
It was clear that he had the idea to thoroughly investigate his background, and even cut him into slices for detailed study!
At this moment, Zhou Qi's muscles were all tense, and his back was straight, but he still bowed his head, his posture was extremely respectful, and he did not dare to relax in the slightest.
He seems to be docile and calm, but his eyes are locked on every tiny movement of Fu Linyuan, always vigilant and not daring to relax at all.
The dead silence lasted for a moment, and Fu Linyuan finally turned around slowly.
His eyes did not fall on Zhou Qi, but lowered his eyes and stared at the simple Stone Sword in the palm of his hand. His long fingertips gently brushed the dense cracks on the sword body, and his eyes were full of reminiscence and sadness:
"This sword is the natal sword that I personally forged for me after I entered Body Integration Realm, traveled through the entire Profound Spirit Realm, and finally went to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Primordial Dao Sect."
"It has been fighting with me for two hundred years and has shed countless blood. In these two hundred years, it has been on the verge of being completely scrapped three times. Each time, Xuanye Peak has tried its best to repair it, so that it can preserve the sword body and stay with me to this day."
Fu Linyuan speaks softly, and every word is the accumulation of past years.
Zhou Qi still bowed his head, stood there respectfully, and remained silent.
For a long time, Fu Linyuan retracted his gaze from Stone Sword, and finally raised his eyes to look at the disciple in front of him, with a calm expression. "You don't have to be so nervous. Fast practice is your talent and your opportunity."
"I, Fu Linyuan, have fought all the way to the Body Integration Realm and have only a few apprentices. Since I have decided to accept you as my apprentice, I will protect you to the end. I will never be unreasonably suspicious, let alone jealous of your opportunities."
After hearing this, Zhou Qi felt the tense boulder in his heart suddenly fall to the ground, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face, and the tense muscles all over his body finally relaxed slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Linyuan continued to speak slowly, "I know you know what you have in mind, and I can also see that since I told you last time, you have been deliberately suppressing your own cultivation and deliberately honing it. It was only by accident today that you made a breakthrough. It is really unusual."
"I warned you before that a sudden increase in realm can easily lead to a weak foundation. But as I observe your practice, your Spiritual Power purity, Dantian heritage, and Sea of Consciousness foundation are all polished to a level far above those of the same level, without any flaws or hidden dangers."
He changed his topic slightly and said seriously, "But true cultivation is never as simple as a solid foundation and Spiritual Power. Combat power, experience in facing enemies, and State of Mind experience that perfectly match the realm and foundation are also a crucial part of the foundation of cultivation."
"Your realm is rising rapidly now, but the hard work of actual combat and the experience of the world are far behind the progress of your realm."
Zhou Qi nodded slightly when he heard the words, accepted the teachings with an open mind, and listened quietly to the master's teachings.
"So, I specially found a sect mission for you." Fu Linyuan's eyes were firm and his tone was unquestionable. "You will go down the mountain to find Chen Kun later. He will make full arrangements and be responsible for your training for this mission."
Zhou Qi frowned slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise his head and speak softly, "Master, this disciple has quite a feud with Elder Chen Kun, I'm afraid..."
Fu Linyuan directly raised his hand to interrupt his words, smiled faintly, and said confidently, "I am naturally aware of the conflicts between you. But no matter how narrow-minded Chen Kun is, he will never dare to secretly make things difficult for my disciples."
"With your current strength and foundation, I believe that some peer pressure is nothing more than a whetstone for you."
Zhou Qi nodded silently.
He was at ease with this, and he was very clear about his own strength.
Seven-Blade Combo is enough to crush Nascent Soul, a fourth- and fifth-level monk. He is nearly invincible within the same level, and ordinary peers cannot pose a threat to him at all.
Just when Zhou Qi thought that the matter was settled and all he had to do was go down the mountain to find Chen Kun, Fu Linyuan's eyes darkened slightly and he threw out a huge gift.
"Not to mention...!"
Fu Linyuan touched the mottled Stone Sword in his hand. As the light flashed in his hand, Stone Sword quickly became smaller, until it became as big as a thumb and then stopped changing.
He threw the small sword towards Zhou Qi, and said in a calm but heavy tone, "This sword, Stone Sword, which has been with me for two hundred years, I will give it to you for now."
"The journey of this journey is long and unpredictable. If there is a strong Spirit Transformation or even a powerful Body Integration Realm secretly attacking you with the intention of hurting your life, this sword can kill me, Fu Linyuan, with all my strength on your behalf!"
Boom!
These words were like thunder, exploding in Zhou Qi's mind!
Zhou Qi's pupils shrank suddenly, his face was full of disbelief, and he exclaimed, "A full blow?!"
Fu Linyuan looked indifferent, nodded slightly, and was noncommittal.
Zhou Qi's mind was completely shaken, huge waves arose in his heart, and his whole body froze in place.
He knows very well how terrifying Fu Linyuan's strength is!
Previously, Enforcement Hall, the great elders of the sect Song Taiming, Nascent Soul Eighth Layer! Fu Linyuan, were crushed and seriously injured with just a random palm, and they were unable to recover even after months of rest.
And those Myriad Dao Peak, Liu Yanzheng, Nascent Soul Ninth Layer! They were also slapped away with a random slap.
Such a casual strike is so terrifying. What kind of power would it be if Fu Linyuan struck with all his strength?
Not to mention an ordinary Spirit Transformation monk, even an ordinary Body Integration Realm powerful one will definitely not be able to escape death if faced head-on!
Holding this Stone Sword is equivalent to holding an absolutely life-saving trump card. It is equivalent to carrying the ultimate killing method of a top powerhouse in the mainland with you!
Huge shock and warmth swept through his whole body, and Zhou Qi was stunned for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses.
He glanced at the small sword in his hand, and then at the Master who looked calm and aloof, with mixed feelings in his heart:
"Zhou Qi, thank you Master for giving me the sword!"
