“So that’s how it is!”
Lan Cai'er exclaimed, and gradually understood: "So, when the two of you appeared, especially Qi Zixiao, you actually broke through the First Sword Tower and were recognized and given a sword by the ancestor of the Sword Palace, so the Sword Master no longer hesitated!"
"The old man has finally found the person he was waiting for. Although you are not yet a Daluo, with your talent, you will definitely become a Daluo in time!"
"So, he no longer hesitated, and immediately transformed himself into the 'sun and moon', guiding countless sword cultivators on their way forward and reshaping their heroic spirit and character..."
“Not only that!”
Ji Chutong also understood.
She looked dejected: "I'm afraid that the Sword Master has been waiting for this day for a long time, waiting for the appearance of a peerless swordsman like Qi Zixiao."
“In fact, he made a lot of preparations.”
"Borrow the sword from the heavens, let the nine heavenly palaces hang the Taixuan sword, and let the nine heavenly palaces be sealed for a thousand years..."
"Who would believe that such a method was suddenly created?"
"Obviously, the Sword Master has been preparing for a long time, and he is almost ready. He is just waiting for an opportunity!"
"The nine great palaces have been sealed for a thousand years. It seems to have given Qi Zixiao time to grow, but in fact, there is a deeper intention."
"Um."
Qi Zifan nodded: "I never understood this before. Is it just for the sake of sword cultivation's pride and character that the Sword Master has to do this?"
"But now, I understand."
"I have already comprehended the meaning of borrowing the sword from the heavens for many years, just for this moment."
"The purpose is to seal off the nine heavenly palaces for a thousand years. We don't want them to come into contact with the underworld, and we don't want them to ask for peace!"
"This is actually the Sword Master's back-up plan."
"Firstly, if a genius appears, he can pave the way for him."
“Secondly, if a war breaks out and the boundary gate is lost, he can seal off the nine heavenly palaces, inspire the sword cultivation spirit, and then use the sword cultivation lineage as the main force to fight a bloody battle in the underworld!”
"Of course, the sword cultivation lineage is not enough."
"But what the Sword Master wants is not only for the sword cultivators to be able to 'awaken', but also to use the blood and bones of the sword cultivators to awaken the heavens and myriad worlds..."
"The Sword Master is a war advocate."
"And he has already thought of the same thing as me."
“Perhaps he doesn’t know about the catastrophe, but he knows that this battle must involve all the heavens and myriad worlds in order to have a glimmer of hope.”
"We must wake everyone up and fight for this battle at all costs!"
"So, in the eyes of the Sword Master, he can sacrifice himself, and his entire sword cultivation lineage can also sacrifice. Even if it seems like they are just "fighting internally", in fact, it has a very profound meaning!"
"It's death as well."
"May I ask you all."
Qi Zifan was just communicating with Ji Chutong and Lan Caier at the beginning, but at this moment, he changed the subject and looked at the seven people, his eyes were like lightning and his expression was firm: "Like the old man like the sword master, who raised the sword against his own people and then died."
"To us in the Yang Realm, he is a sinner? He is useless? He even wasted the power of a powerful Great Luo?"
"Or in other words, compared to you guys defending the border to the death, or even dying in battle, who can be more useful?"
“···”
silence.
Dead silence!
At this moment, the seven were as silent as death.
"You mean... withdraw?"
Ji Chutong and Lan Caier did not remain silent.
After they learned about all this, the shock and emotion in their hearts were no less than those of others. However, they had been with Qi Zifan all the way and knew what the Sword Master had done, so it was obviously easier for them to understand.
So at this moment, they all looked at Qi Zifan, wanting to know Qi Zifan's answer.
"withdraw!"
Qi Zifan nodded without hesitation: "But not now, but a thousand years later..."
"Why?"
This time, the old woman took the initiative to speak.
She was a woman, often calling herself an old woman, but she was more direct and angry, and maintained her disdain for the Nine Heavenly Palaces.
I had no other thoughts before and just wanted to defend the border gate to the death because there was no other way and I wanted to guard this place.
But now, Qi Zifan's words made her suddenly enlightened, and the anger in her heart reached its peak.
She even wanted to return to the heavens and myriad worlds immediately to 'fire' at the nine heavenly palaces!
"The sword's power surged to the sky, and even the people in the boundary could sense it clearly. I knew it was the sword master who made the move."
"Now listening to what you said, I was really pedantic before!"
"Why do we have to wait here for thousands of years?"
"Nine hundred and ninety-eight years and two months, to be exact."
Qi Zifan did not hide anything and quietly told his thoughts: "The Sword Master has sealed the Nine Heavenly Palaces for a thousand years. They cannot get out during this thousand years!"
"If a war breaks out during this period, and you haven't died in the battle, and they can't get out, you can just take this opportunity to not contribute."
"Even afterwards, we can push everything onto the Sword Master and let him take the blame!"
"Although the Sword Master doesn't care about these things, we can't act this way."
"So, wait a thousand years."
"Unseal the Nine Heavenly Palaces. When they are all able to come out, retreat to the rear and let them face the underworld directly. Let them..."
"Come and take this hot potato!"
"Whether they choose to seek peace or pretend to fight, we already have a countermeasure. When the time comes, we will just act according to the situation!"
"Excellent!" Ji Chutong and Lan Caier applauded.
At the same time, they knew that the reason they had to put everything off until a thousand years later was because they needed time!
Now they can fight against Golden Immortals.
Qi Zixiao was invincible under the Daluo, but facing the Daluo, he still had no power to protect himself.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop in a wretched manner!
And a thousand years...
That's enough!
Even if you cannot become a strong one among Daluo, but at least, you will not be so powerless when facing Daluo, and you will always have the strength to fight.
Only in this way can you have some confidence...
"in this way?"
The old woman also understood and nodded gently: "That's indeed how it should be."
"But, over there..."
She looked in the direction of the Science and Technology City and sighed, "We have to notify them, and their styles and ideas are very different from ours, so they may not agree."
"They...care more about 'human rights' and human lives."
"Even the life of an ordinary person is extremely important."
"I'll go and tell them."
Qi Zifan chuckled.
Care more about human rights and life
This is inevitable.
For the technological side to develop, various rules and laws are indispensable.
Perhaps some planets and worlds may be more brutal, but if we want to prosper together, iron laws must exist.
human rights···
I have learned more, watched more movies and TV shows, and communicated more...
Can we not care about human rights
This may be a little difficult to understand for people in the heavens and all realms, but for Lin Fan, an "ancient man", it is easy to solve.
only···
The guy scratched his head.
Ancient people
That's ridiculous!
Obviously it should be said that it is modern, but for the heavens and the worlds, the Earth era is indeed ancient~~~
He scratched his head, which made others feel that he was also having a headache about this.
The old woman comforted him, "If that's the case, then you can give it a try."
"If it can be done, that would be great. If it can't be done..."
"We can't care about so many things anymore. The first thing to do is to protect the heavens and myriad worlds!"
"Um."
Qi Zifan nodded, and then looked at the other six people: "Six seniors, what do you think?"
“How dare they disagree!”
Upon hearing this, the old woman spoke first, sneering: "If you dare to disagree, I will blow up the border gate!"
"You have been conservative all your life. Now, the longest-lived among us is only two or three million years old. Do you still want to be conservative?"
"We must always do something for the heavens and the worlds, and for countless future generations."
"Instead of just impressing yourself, staying here for the rest of your life and fighting to the death!"
"Fight, then let's fight."
"But after dying in battle, nothing can be changed. What's the meaning of fighting to the death? Is it really just to impress myself?"
Her words made the six Golden Immortals blush.
After hearing this, Qi Zifan could hardly help but give a thumbs up.
That’s so wonderfully said!
Move yourself
Isn’t it
Why do you hold on? For this, for that, for blah blah...
It’s a long list to talk about, all kinds of tragedy, all kinds of helplessness, all kinds of passion.
But in the final analysis, I only moved myself.
It’s not that he didn’t contribute. At least he fought a great battle with the Underworld and killed some strong men from the Underworld. But he couldn’t change the overall situation!
It would have been fine if you didn’t understand all this before, but now that you understand it, do you still have to stay here
Isn't it just so pedantic that it moved me
If you do that, you will only move yourself and disgust others.
The old man rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "In your eyes, am I such a hopelessly pedantic person?"
"hey-hey."
The voiceless boy laughed hoarsely: "After a thousand years, I will never hesitate again. I will leave as soon as I say so. Why should I care so much?"
"The only pity is that I didn't get to fight those bastards from the underworld."
"Don't say that." The scholar cursed, "No matter how you say that, it doesn't end well for you."
"Great idea!" Qi Zifan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Isn’t that a brilliant idea
Just like in those movies, when a big battle is about to start, a "family letter" is taken out and the protagonist is asked to give it to his old mother...
It will probably cool down in the next minute.
“···”
This time, the Silent Boy was truly silent.
The remaining three people spoke very little, but at this moment they looked at each other, and after a moment, they nodded and said, "We really shouldn't be so pedantic anymore."
"It's no use trying to move myself like this."
"What the nine heavenly palaces have done is really... Let's wait and see, after a thousand years, what choice they will make!"
"So, what about those seniors?"
"Their lifespans have come to an end, and they have sealed themselves off. They will only awaken when the situation is most critical and the boundary is about to be breached, just for the final battle."
"It would be inappropriate to wake them up."
"But if I don't wake him up..."
This is also a problem.
Wake it up, otherwise it will be cold before you even start fighting, and it will be a waste of energy.
Not waking up
Everyone else retreated, leaving behind only those self-proclaimed strong men of the older generation. Once the underworld came to attack, they would still be doomed.
“···”
Qi Zifan thought for a moment and said, "When we evacuate, we'll take the Boundary Pass with us!"
"This magnificent ancient city contains terrifying power. Even a great battle between the Golden Immortals would find it difficult to destroy it. It is also very good as a fortress."
"If I take it with me, it should be possible, right?"
"this···"
The old woman guessed, "It should be feasible, but I don't know if the 'conditions' for unblocking set by the old seniors include 'shifting'."
"If not, there shouldn't be any problems."
"I'll just have to try again when the time comes."
Qi Zifan nodded and said, "Without further delay, we will go to the Science and Technology City to have a look. If everything goes well, that would be the best."
"If things don't go well..."
"The seven of you, please remember what you just said and don't be so pedantic."
"You still say that?!"
The scholar immediately laughed and scolded: "You stinky girl, you are just a fairy, a yellow-haired girl, and you keep scolding me and others for being pedantic. Do you really think that we old guys have good tempers and won't get angry?"
"That's right!" The old man also laughed and cursed.
“Ahem.”
Ji Chutong and Lan Caier coughed repeatedly.
Qi Zifan didn't care, he smiled and said: "In this case, I am relieved, then, I will take my leave now."
"If there are no major accidents, we will meet again in a thousand years!"
"good!"
Both sides nodded, clasped their fists, and said goodbye.
However, when Qi Zifan went out, the seven people in the room spoke one after another.
"Guangxiu."
The old woman's voice came out faintly.
"Ying Song!" This is the old man.
"Hengze Jin." This is the scholar.
"Bai Luoti." This is a middle-aged woman, and there is always a trace of sadness between her brows.
"Fenghe." This is the burly man who speaks the least.
"The Netherworld Madman." This is the old man who is old but has a crazy look.
"Aji." This is the boy.
(PS: Hehe, Huanyan loved Kuiba when she was a student, so I would like to pay tribute to him here.)
Names were heard one by one, without any extra words.
Qi Zifan smiled.
He didn't turn around, but walked away with big strides. However, along with the sound of his footsteps, he also muttered to himself: "Qi Zixiao."
"Ji Chutong."
"Lan Cai'er."
The two women also spoke one after another.
Afterwards, both parties stopped talking, and Qi Zi, Fan and the other two floated away.
It seems like a simple exchange of names.
But in reality, it is recognition.
Recognition of 'comrades-in-arms'!
Although Qi Zi, Fan and the other two had only been there for less than half a day and had not participated in any major battles, they still scolded them many times.
But, they recognized these three comrades!
This is especially true for Qi Zi, Fan and the other two.
Although Qi Zifan kept scolding them for being old-fashioned, were these seven people, including those self-proclaimed seniors, wrong
Maybe.
However, that was not a fault of Qi Zifan and the other two, but, for themselves...
Their mistake is that they should not be morally kidnapped or calculated against.
However, they were also "kidnapped" and had to fight for countless lives in the heavens and myriad worlds. What had they done wrong
After leaving Jieguan, the three of them were in low spirits.
Qi Zifan knew the most, so naturally he also bore the most, and it was really difficult for him to relax.
Ji Chutong and Lan Caier knew relatively little, but what they saw and heard today, as well as the secrets they learned, made them feel as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their shoulders, and they were a little slow in their steps.
Flying for a long time.
Ji Chutong suddenly asked: "What happens after this?"
"What are your plans after visiting Tech City?"
"Stay here and practice quietly?"
"Or... return to the heavens and myriad worlds?"
Lan Cai'er also looked over. She also wanted to know Qi Zifan's answer.
In fact, both women were a little confused at this moment.
I am really confused.
The heavens and the nine heavenly palaces...
There is a chess game behind this!
They could feel that this chess game was huge and astonishing.
The many Golden Immortals within the boundary are all chess pieces on the chessboard. The most amazing thing is that they roughly know that they are chess pieces, but they still voluntarily stay on this "chessboard"...
The means of the chess player can be seen from this.
Although they now know the future plans of the chess player, can they really break the deadlock by knowing how the game will develop next
Is a thousand years really enough
Can one break through to Daluo just by practicing in seclusion? Or will one have the power to fight against Daluo
How can we be sure that no accidents will occur during this thousand years, allowing us to develop rapidly
Not sure!
Nothing is certain, there are too many uncertainties.
The only thing that is certain is that after a thousand years, the chess game will change...
Therefore, they really wanted to know, urgently wanted to know what Qi Zifan's plan was.
“This one?”
Qi Zifan smiled and said, "As for me, I want to go to Kunlun to have a look."
"Um?!"
The two girls were shocked: "You... aren't you walking into a trap?"
"Kunlun is the most powerful of the nine heavenly palaces. There are three Daluo Jinxian in it. Considering the self-proclaimed seniors in Jieguan, I'm afraid there are also strong ones who are sealing themselves to their last breath."
"There is another suspected immortal!" Qi Zifan took over the conversation: "But that's why I want to go."
"Kunlun is strong enough and has existed for a long time, so he must know a lot!"
"That being said, but..." Lan Caier frowned, then suddenly realized: "I see, you want the avatar to go?"
"Then, you return to the world of cultivation."
"With your merits in the world of immortal cultivation and the power of the Heavenly Dao in the world of immortal cultivation today, it should be possible to protect your karma and prevent you from being completely killed."
Is that so
The worry on Ji Chutong's face did not fade away. She looked at Qi Zifan without saying a word.
"If anyone is going, it will be me who will go."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to see the person I want to see."
Qi Zifan sighed softly: "Only by meeting that person, perhaps, can I understand more?"
"Of course, as you said, I have to keep a backup plan. My incarnation has to go to the immortal world and use the power of heaven to protect cause and effect, so as not to be completely killed."
"The Mirror of the Heaven, Yuantu, Avici, and other objects must also be left behind."
"Even so, it's still too dangerous." Ji Chutong advised: "No risk, no gain."
“Some risks must be taken.”
"If that old immortal really exists, I want to ask him in person why he wants peace!"
