Chapter 53 - 52: Sword Immortal Taia, The Council of Elders Appears! _1

The fourth matter was concerning the outside world.

Three months ago, a young ’Sword Immortal’ claiming to be in the world to temper his heart, came from the northern direction of the Tianshui region.

With the ’Taia’ Sword in hand and full of heavenly sword intent, came from north to south, challenging all the way down.

So far, the cultivators who had fallen to his hands were no less than dozens.

Among them even included several great cultivators who had reached the fifth realm, terrifyingly strong.

The fifth matter was left aside for now, as Chen Chang’an sensed someone approaching.

There was a flash of rainbow light, and then, an old man appeared outside the scripture repository.

This was an old man with short and stubby goat beard, a pair of brown eyes deep-set in their sockets.

The old man had a headful of messy gray hair, a slightly hunched back, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, full of vitality.

"Old Ox, aren’t you staying well in your Origin Mountain, why are you running over here?"

Chen Chang’an came out and asked.

The one who came was none other than the old Daoist ’Old Ox’ who Mao Ruxue mentioned a month ago would come looking for him.

Old Ox wasn’t actually surnamed ’Ox’, but Liu, full name Liu Qingshan, bearing the Daoist title Qingyuan Daoist.

It was just that his character was sometimes stubborn and an eight-ox carriage couldn’t even pull him back, hence he was also referred to as Old Ox.

Old Ox was the current Mountain lord of the ’Origin Mountain’, one of Tianshui Sect’s 108 peaks.

Origin Mountain and Daozang Mountain shared similar situations, they were both mountains without many disciples.

However, in what differed from Daozang Mountain.

Daozang Mountain had no disciples because its lineage was broken and declined, while Origin Mountain had no disciples due to their lineage’s reasons.

Of course, these were not important anymore.

Over the years, within the Tianshui Sect, if there was someone Chen Chang’an could exchange a few words with, it would only be this Old Ox standing before him.

"Chen lad, something big happened, what are you still doing here?" Liu Qingshan rushed in and said anxiously.

"? An emergency? What emergency? Old Liu, can you clarify?" Chen Chang’an grimaced upon hearing his words and asked.

"Damn, you old thing, did you go looking for Elder Li of Hundred Flower Pavilion again?"

Chen Chang’an suddenly thought of something and asked.

Elder Li of the Hundred Flower Pavilion was a female elder of Baihua Immortal Sect, greatly charming and extraordinary.

More than a hundred Hundred Flower Pavilions in and out of Tianshui City were all managed by her.

And Liu Qingshan had once gone down the mountain to visit the brothel, where he happened to take a liking to her.

And so, that was that.

"Chen, lad, I’m not joking with you this time, something big seems to have really happened."

Shaking his head, Liu Qingshan managed to calm his emotions down a bit before saying so.

"Do you know about the Taia Sword Immortal who has been making a ruckus lately?"

"Taia Sword Immortal? Who’s that?"

Chen Chang’an paused, this name didn’t leave much of an impression on him.

Could it be that there’s another monster has emerged from the Sword Gate?

"You don’t know?"

After hearing Chen Chang’an answer, Liu Qingshan suddenly looked at him as if he were a stranger.

Such a big incident, how could he possibly not know?

Liu Qingshan told him,"It’s the inborn bone of sword that has recently made headlines."

"The one who came from the north to challenge?" Chen Chang’an finally reacted.

If it is this person, then he does indeed know about it.

It appears he is from an A-class sect under the Sword Pavilion, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, with innate sword bone, who condensed his sword heart at the age of one, and comprehended sword intent at the age of three!

At five, he joined the Sword Mountain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, obtained the ’Taia’ Sword, and branded the sword Dao.

At ten, he comprehended the innate swordsman intent and was named the ’Sword Child’ of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

Afterwards, he alerted the Sword Ancestor of the Sword Pavilion, who personally came out from seclusion, and appointed him one of the ten direct disciples of the Sword Pavilion.

And bestowed upon him the Taia Sword Intent!

Later, at the age of thirteen, from the Taia Sword Intent, he comprehended the Great River Sword Intent, forming a river with his swords.

His sword illumination chilled nineteen provinces!

Ever since then, this person was hidden away by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

A concealment that lasted for more than ten years.

Now, upon his grand appearance, with a clear Sword Heart and complete Sword Bone, he wished to challenge the geniuses of the world with his sword.

Upon uttering a word, half of the Sword Realm ensued!

Exceptionally strong.

In addition to this, Chen Chang’an knew that great factions like Buddhism, Martial Pavilion, and Taiyi Sect had all produced outstanding individuals known as Buddha Child, Martial Child, and Dao Child.

Causing sensational collisions in the Wuxiang realm.

This was not surprising.

When the great era fell, each sect, if wishing to maintain their influence in the next era.

Would dispatch their disciples to represent them in the world, this was a matter of course!

"I do know who that is, but Old Ox, how does this relate to us?" Chen Chang’an asked with a frown.

In fact, it had nothing to do with them.

Even if that Sword Immortal came to challenge the Tianshui Sect, his target would be the sect master Li Daoran, or a genius like the elder Bai Yunzi of the Hall of Merit.

It had nothing to do with local street mountain lords like them.

Having said so, Chen Chang’an invited Liu Qingshan into the scripture repository and brewed a pot of tea, serving a cup to each person present.

"Huh, Ah~!"

Liu Qingshan picked up his cup and took a gulp. It was so hot that the inside of his mouth split open.

But he still complimented with a face full of enjoyment.

"Your tea still has the best taste, one sip and I feel like I’m ascended."

"Come on, pour me another."

"Never mind, I’ll do it myself."

Liu Qingshan spoke as he picked up the teapot and refilled his tea cup himself, before gulping the tea down.

Chen Chang’an watched this with a twitch at the corner of his mouth. The tea was made from Bodhi tree roots leaves that he had obtained from Buddhism.

Seeing Liu Qingshan actually treating it like water, and finishing two cups in one go, drove him mad.

But, Chen Chang’an didn’t mind.

At his cultivation level, even Enlightenment teas no longer held any benefits for him.

As for the rest of the Bodhi tree teas, they were even less worth mentioning.

If it weren’t for the decent flavor, he would have discarded them ages ago.

So, let it be wasted.

After all, it was just a sip.

Afterward, Liu Qingshan began to speak again, looking straight ahead, he said in a serious tone:

"Chen my lad, you’re right. This matter was originally unrelated to us."

"However, do you know, because of this,"

"The stubborn old guys from the Council of Elders have been stirred."

"Old Liu, are you saying that the group of stubborn guys from the Council of Elders have made a move?"

Hearing Liu Qingshan’s words, Chen Chang’an fell silent.

The Council of Elders, another powerful faction within the Tianshui Sect.

An individual Elder might not possess much power, but if more than half of the Council of Elders formed an alliance, their collective power would not be underestimated.

This was a force capable of influencing the development of the Tianshui Sect!

What confused Chen Chang’an was that since his arrival at the sect, the Council of Elders had not been involved in anything for decades.

What did they intend to do by making a move this time?

With this thought, Chen Chang’an’s brows furrowed.

He knew very well that the old guys were notoriously stubborn.

"Yes, they have come out."

After a long sigh, Liu Qingshan mentioned:

"Just a moment ago, with one swing of the Tai’a Sword, it opened heaven and earth and entered the grand hall of Tongtian Peak."

"Bai Yunzi was defeated in the first battle."

"Then Wang Xuandao fought him, and Wang Xuandao lost!"

Hearing this, Chen Chang’an’s eyebrows furrowed even more.

Wang Xuandao was not a simple character.

The Peak Master of Tongtian Peak, the third largest peak of the Tianshui Sect.

That was a true fifth-realm cultivator.

The fact that the Tai’a Sword Immortal could defeat him illustrated just how extraordinary he was.

You must know, that Tai’a Sword was not even at the fifth realm yet.

Even the reason why he was challenging all the way to the south was to attain the fifth realm!
