Chapter 68 -68: Purple Green Double Swords_1

Vast is heaven and earth, with the cloud sea stretching into the distance.

Atop Jade Sword Peak, a tall old man clad in green robes and white innerwear stood alone at the summit. His face was weathered, his hair silver, and his beard whipped by the wind, his clothes fluttering. His eyes shone bright, like solitary stars in the dark night.

He is none other than Wang Xuanling, the chief of all the peaks.

Since ancient times, the Shu Mountain Sect has spoken of the Five Swordman Peaks. Among the ancient Thirty-Six Peaks of Shu Mountain, five peaks named after swords house the sect’s sword cultivators, they are the most courageous and ambitious, advocating open-minded progress. They were at the vanguard of the Shu Mountain Sect’s heyday, responsible for slaying Evil Demons and could be considered the hawks of Shu Mountain. During the years when Shu Mountain Sect held the Righteous Path, the Five Swordman Peaks were in an incomparable position.

Since the decline of Shu Mountain, its power has gradually weakened. The ambitious Five Swordman Peaks also gradually faded, with the other more conservative peaks becoming mainstream within Shu Mountain. To this day, five hundred years later, the firmness of the Five Swordman Peaks has almost been completely forgotten.

On one hand, changes in the situation have gradually forced a conservative approach, and on the other hand, the brave masters have gradually dwindled.

For example, both Golden Sword Peak and Silver Sword Peak have once severed their lineages, facing extinction. Even if they have now restored their lineages, they no longer carry on the original intention of the Five Peaks.

But since Wang Xuanling became the chief of the peaks, that powerful Five Swordman Peaks as if returned to the stage again. Both internally and externally, this chief elder is overflowing with firmness.

So much so that when many mischievous Evil Demons mention Shu Mountain, the first one they think of is not the Sect Leader, but the chief elder with thunderous methods.

Wang Xuanling, this name is like a huge flag.

A battle flag, to be precise.

As for the next generation, he also follows the old-fashioned Shu Mountain way of education similar to nurturing insects, accepting a wide range of disciples, and promoting fierce competition. He has over a hundred disciples under his command at Jade Sword Peak, which can be considered the highest number in Shu Mountain. All the disciples have grown up in competition since childhood, fighting for resources that belong to them.

But this competition has gradually weakened in recent years, for the king of the insects has already appeared.

After a moment.

The mist in the cloud sea began to boil, rumbling with thunder that echoed through the mountains, a Chong Xiao Sword Qi suddenly breaks through the clouds.

Shh——

That Sword Qi was like a dragon, landing in an instant. It transformed into a tall and straight young man, handsome as jade, with sword-like eyes and brows, full of sharpness.

“Disciple greets Master!” As soon as the young man landed, he immediately knelt on one knee to salute Wang Xuanling.

“Get up.” Wang Xuanling’s eyes moved to the young man, and he asked gently,” Have you succeeded?”

“Yes, I didn’t let you down, master.” The young man got up and replied calmly.

“Haha, good lad.” Wang Xuanling laughed and praised,” You really are my most promising disciple. At your age, I was nowhere near as accomplished as you.”

This young man was no other than his favored disciple, Xu Ziyang.

Wang Xuanling was full of joy, while Xu Ziyang remained calm, saying,” All thanks to your teaching, master. I dare not talk about surpassing you.”

“A disciple doesn’t have to be inferior to his master…” Wang Xuanling shook his head and said,” If you can’t even surpass me, how can you talk about surpassing the formidable predecessors of the Shu Mountain Sect? How can you accomplish the great tasks that they haven’t been able to achieve?”

“Disciple understands!” Xu Ziyang saluted again heavily.

“I have two great wishes in my life. The first is for the Shu Mountain Sect to reclaim the Demon Suppression Tower and regain its place as the top Immortal Sect. The second is to find the great Dao, to reach the realm of controlling Tianyuan… or even the understanding of truth and mystery.” Wang Xuanling sighed,” I’m afraid my talent and comprehension are limited, and these ambitions it may fall to you to realize.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziyang seemed to be moved, his lips twitched as if he had something to say but hesitated.

Seeing this, Wang Xuanling said,” If you have something to say, just say it.”

Without any further hesitation, Xu Ziyang said straight out,” Disciple thinks that even without retrieving the Demon Suppression Tower, Shu Mountain can still regain its place as the head of all Immortal Sects!”

“Oh?” Wang Xuanling looked at him.

“Disciple will surpass the Demon Suppression Tower!” Xu Ziyang declared resolutely.

His meaning was clear: by reaching the Tongxuan Realm and becoming a Ninth Realm cultivator, he can surpass all Divine Artifacts in the world.

Looking at Xu Ziyang, who seemed as sharp as a drawn sword, Wang Xuanling felt momentarily dazed. A century ago, before the same sea of clouds, standing before his own master, it seemed the younger version of him had also once made such audacious claims.

Through generations, Jade Sword Peak has carried on for a millennium. Any divine skills or spells are secondary; isn’t the most important thing to inherit this sword-like will?

“Hahaha, excellent,” Wang Xuanling nodded lightly. “Every ambitious young man in the world aspires to reach higher than the heavens. I hope you can always maintain this vigorous spirit, be brave throughout your life, and eradicate the demonic influences!”

“Disciple will bear this in mind!” Xu Ziyang bowed deeply once again.

Wang Xuanling brushed his sleeve and turned, “Since you’ve come out today, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

Xu Ziyang looked up to listen.

Wang Xuanling continued, “A few days ago, there were rumors that the Demon God would return. And just yesterday, the Purple Green Double Swords left the mountain.”

“Purple Green Double Swords?” Xu Ziyang’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed.

The Purple Green Double Swords, ranked seventeenth in the Ten Thousand Treasures Record and the strongest treasure in the Demon Suppression Tower, had always been missing on Shu Mountain. It’s a unique magic artifact, with a sword spirit that possesses a strong sense of autonomy. Throughout the many peaceful years in Shu Mountain Sect, they hid within a dedicated Sword Sheath Peak. Only sensing impending dangers to the sect will they emerge.

The departure of the Purple Green Double Swords implies impending danger in Shu Mountain.

Alongside the recent news of the Demon God’s return, it’s not hard to guess that something significant is about to happen.

“The Purple Green Double Swords usually choose the young disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect as their wielders; this time will be no exception.” Wang Xuanling continued, “The Sect Leader has decided to let the two most outstanding disciples claim the Purple Green Double Swords during the upcoming Shu Mountain Peak Conference.”

Xu Ziyang’s eyes brightened, roughly understanding his master’s intentions.

“Disciple will give his all!” His voice was filled with confidence.

“Now that you’ve successfully broken through, of course there’s no problem.” Wang Xuanling said with a faint smile, “Among this generation’s disciples in the Shu Mountain Sect, only you and Jiang Yuebai of Biluo Peak standout. The Purple Green Double Swords should belong to you two.”

Xu Ziyang did not show any signs of acknowledgement, he may be confident, but prematurely declaring victory is not his style.

Wang Xuanling added, “Perform your best in the upcoming Shu Mountain Peak Conference, once you claim the Chief Disciple position and recognize the Purple Green Double Swords as your own, I can help you propose marriage to Biluo Peak.”

“What?” Xu Ziyang’s expression tightened, “Master, why would you say that?”

“Given your talent and character, you are worthy of any matchless beauty in this world. Who else is better suited for you on top of Shu Mountain besides her?” Wang Xuanling stated matter-of-factly, “You’re at an age where you should be getting married.”

This Peak Lord, infamous for his thunderous actions, was making quick and decisive decisions in matters of love as well.

You should get married.

I think you two match well.

I’ll help you propose then.

The progressive logic left Xu Ziyang dumbfounded, “Disciple is fully committed to revitalizing Shu Mountain and pursuing the great Dao, there’s no room for romance!”

“Humph, wasn’t I the same?” Wang Xuanling snorted coldly, “I spent my life committed to revitalizing Shu Mountain and pursuing the great Dao, refraining from romantic affections…do you know how much I regret it now that I’m old?”

“…” Xu Ziyang remained silent.

He always considered his master as a role model, that’s why he had such ambitions. But now, hearing his master talk like this, he couldn’t help but waver.

“Moreover, I didn’t bring up this matter just for the sake of romance.” Wang Xuanling changed his tone and continued, “In fact, there’s a slight secret about the Purple Green Double Swords that has been unknown to outsiders for many years.”

“The legend says that the sword spirits of the Purple Green Double Swords were once a pair of lovers, so the swordmasters they choose have always been couples. If two people who don’t love each other wield them, the power of their harmonization greatly diminishes. But if two people deeply love each other, their harmonization can rival the top-tier divine artifacts.”

He stared at Xu Ziyang, “So, I want to arrange this marriage for you for the sake of Shu Mountain. Keeping that in mind, do you still resist?”

“This…” Xu Ziyang was taken aback, paused, and reluctantly said, “Reviving the glory of Shu Mountain is a duty that I cannot refuse!”
