The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

"Since I entered Tiandu, it took me a hundred years to build my foundation, another hundred years to overcome five tribulations, and another hundred years to overcome seven tribulations..."

The figure of the second senior brother gradually dimmed, and his voice gradually became weaker, but in Li Muchen's consciousness he could hear it very clearly, as if the Sword Soul of Light that had merged into his body was speaking.

Although Li Muchen had heard about his second senior brother's glorious past a long time ago, he was still shocked when he heard it now.

He didn't know if it was unprecedented to have gone through seven tribulations in three hundred years, but he was definitely a genius among geniuses.

"After seven tribulations, I gave up all the skills I had practiced before and became obsessed with swordsmanship. From then on, the way of heaven no longer cared about me, and the tribulations of heaven no longer came. But when did I care about the way of heaven and earth?"

"The highest level of swordsmanship is a sword, passed down by a saint, called 'Regret'. According to legend, the saint saw the suffering of all living beings and regretted creating the world, so he created this sword. Once it is used, the sky will be destroyed and the earth will be destroyed, and all things will cease to exist."

"I was inspired by this and created a sword of light, but it is still far from the profound meaning of the saint. I also heard that the saint left the sword in the wilderness, and it was guarded by an ancient dragon. I went to the southern border thousands of miles away to look for the dragon's traces, but I couldn't find it..."

"One day you can go to the wilderness and search for the secret place. If you are lucky enough to find it, it will be considered as fulfilling my life's wish..."

Having said this, the voice finally died away.

The figure of the second senior brother also completely disappeared in the darkness.

"Second brother is dead, wuwuwu..." Xiang Wanqing was heartbroken.

"Second Senior Brother is not dead." Li Muchen said, "At Second Senior Brother's level, his fate is already in his own hands. Even if he dies, he can still reincarnate and cultivate again."

"You mean, Second Senior Brother passed away?"

"No, if he chooses to pass away, he will no longer be the Second Senior Brother."

"Then, where did Second Brother go?" Xiang Wanqing was puzzled.

"Second Senior Brother chose to go against the Void and merge with the Dao. He has merged into the Dao. We cannot see him now because the Dao of Heaven has separated us from the Dao. One day you will also merge with the True Dao, and you will be able to meet him again."

Xiang Wanqing knew that Li Muchen was trying to comfort her, and she sighed, "How many people in ancient times could achieve unity? We all thought that Second Senior Brother would be the first among us to enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Formation and become the Eternal Sword Immortal. But we didn't expect that he would abandon us and become the Great Dao alone."

Li Muchen said: "Since the day Second Senior Brother chose to enter the underworld, I'm afraid he has already made the decision. But I still don't understand how he did it. Maybe if we move forward, we can find the answer."

"Go forward?"

Xiang Wanqing frowned as he looked at the endless darkness and the star-like ghosts in the darkness. Is there still a way forward? After all, this is a place that even the second brother has not walked out of!

Li Muchen formed a sword with two fingers and pointed forward. A ray of sword light flew out from between his fingers.

The sword light was not dazzling, but gentle, yet it shone very far, illuminating a patch of light in the inky darkness surrounding it.

"Second Brother left the Sword Spirit here. He must have some last wish that we need to help him fulfill."

"Last wish? Didn't Second Senior Brother stay here to pass on the Han Guang Sword to you?" Xiang Wanqing asked.

"It was just an accident." Li Muchen said.

At this time, the sword light was slowly moving forward.

Li Muchen and Xiang Wanqing also followed.

As the sword light moved, a huge hole seemed to be burned in the darkness, and the two seemed to be walking in a cave, with no idea how deep it was.

"Mu Chen, look!" Xiang Wanqing suddenly pointed ahead and said.

Li Muchen had already seen a figure appear at the edge of the sword light, sitting on the ground.

The sword light continued to move forward, and the man's figure gradually became clear. It moved above the man and then stopped.

It was a woman, sitting there with her head down, and a person was lying on her legs.

When Xiang Wanqing saw the man lying on the woman's legs, she screamed, "Second Brother!"

The woman was startled by her scream and looked up at them as if waking from a dream.

Li Muchen saw her face and recognized her as Fatima, the goddess of Nanyang.

He sighed: "Fatima, you finally found him."

Fatima stared at him for a few seconds and said, "It's you, Li Muchen."

Xiang Wanqing was greatly surprised: "You...you know each other?"

Li Muchen then told her the story of Fatima and his second senior brother using his divine consciousness.

Xiang Wanqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Lying on Fatima's legs was the body of the second senior brother Lie Chengfeng. Of course, he had no breath of life at this time. If it weren't for Fatima's protection with the power of the jungle, in a place like the City of the Dead, where evil gathers, the corpse would have rotted into ashes long ago.

"I killed him..." Fatima leaned down and hugged Lie Chengfeng's head tightly.

"What is going on?" Xiang Wanqing asked.

"He didn't have to die. The City of the Dead couldn't hold him back. But I couldn't get out..." Fatima held back her tears and shook her head. "He didn't want to leave me here alone. In order to save me, he decided to destroy the City of the Dead and eliminate all the wronged souls..."

Li Muchen frowned and said, "This is impossible. Even if Second Senior Brother's swordsmanship is very high, he can't do it."

"You're right. He said so too. He said that this is where the eternal grievances of the heavenly way gather. To eliminate the grievances, we can only borrow the power of heaven."

"Borrow the power of heaven?" Li Muchen nodded suddenly, "I understand!"

Xiang Wanqing asked in confusion: "What did you understand?"

Li Muchen said, "Sister, do you still remember the warning given to us by Higanbana? In the City of Wrongful Death, it is very easy to trigger the heavenly tribulation of the two worlds. The heavenly tribulation penetrates the Yin and Yang worlds and is extremely powerful, so no one dares to enter the City of Wrongful Death. Second Senior Brother wants to deliberately trigger the heavenly tribulation, and then use it to eliminate the grievances here."

"You mean, Second Brother died due to a heavenly calamity?"

"Alas!" Fatima sighed, "If it was just a heavenly tribulation, why would he be afraid? He has experienced seven tribulations in three hundred years, and the eighth tribulation should have come a long time ago. But he deviated from the way of heaven and created his own sword technique that defied the heavens, so the heavenly tribulation naturally stayed away from him. And the accumulation of heavenly tribulations has already exceeded the eighth level."

"He was trying to eliminate the wronged souls in the City of the Dead and bring about a heavenly calamity, but what he brought about was the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder!"

"Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder?!" Xiang Wanqing was shocked when she heard it, because Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder meant the end of cultivation.

No one knows what the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder looks like.

In Tiandu, once one has passed the eight levels of heavenly tribulation, one must enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Formation and become one of the eternal sword immortals within.

Just like the stars in the sky, fixed there and never moving again.

Of course, the previous masters were exceptions. A master could avoid entering the formation after eight tribulations, but he would definitely enter before the ninth tribulation.

In a very mysterious book called "The Book of Heaven" in the ancient Tiandu books, there is a sentence about the Nine Tribulations Heavenly Thunder: Heaven is jealous of the Nine Tribulations.

Everyone thought it was a typo and that "渎" should be "渡", but the master said that there were no typos in the Heavenly Book.

Xiang Wanqing had never thought about these things before, but when she thought about them carefully now, she felt a creepy feeling.
