Ascension failed, the system took me away

Just when Ning Caichen was thinking about life.

Yan Chixia's magical power surged, and his upright and majestic aura broke through the pervasive evil spirit.

"Please sit down for a moment while I kill this evildoer."

Then he slapped the sword case, and a precious sword flew out, which looked like gold and copper, with luxurious golden light flowing and the sound of dragon roaring resounding.

The sword had the sun, moon, and stars carved on one side, and mountains, rivers, and plants on the other.

One side of the hilt is inscribed with the techniques of farming and animal husbandry, while the other side is imprinted with the strategy of unifying the world.

It fully displays the breath of humanity and civilization, and gives a sense of supreme dignity.

Yan Chixia flew up on his sword, turned into a stream of light, crossed the gate of Lanruo Temple, and disappeared into the boundless darkness.

Bai Qin imprinted the shape of the sword in his sea of ​​consciousness at a glance and analyzed the information contained therein.

"Is this the Xuanyuan Sword? It is truly extraordinary."

This sword is not just a weapon, but also a symbol.

In the history of Xia civilization, there are three artifacts of high status.

One of them is the imperial seal.

It comes from the first emperor in history, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng.

The imperial seal reads: Mandated by Heaven, may you live long and prosper.

It is the standard for the common ruler of all people and symbolizes the emperor's legitimate status.

With the imperial seal in hand, your position as emperor is destined by heaven.

It's just that this treasure has long been lost in the turmoil of history.

The second one is the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu.

Legend has it that after Dayu successfully controlled the flood, he divided the world into nine provinces and cast nine tripods, one tripod symbolizing one province.

These nine large tripods were gathered in the dynasty's capital, representing the unification of the Kyushu land.

The number of tripods was also used to divide people's status: princes used seven tripods, officials used five tripods, and officials used three tripods.

The emperor used nine tripods, which symbolized supreme power.

However, the whereabouts of these nine large tripods disappeared during the Zhou and Qin dynasties. It is rumored that they may be in the tomb of the First Emperor.

The third is the most ancient Xuanyuan Sword.

Legend has it that Xuanyuan Sword was the weapon used by Huangdi to defeat Chiyou.

This ancestor of mankind unified the Chinese tribes, established the first political power, and laid the foundation for the development of civilization in later generations.

This sword symbolizes the beginning of Chinese civilization and is a symbol of the rise of the human race.

Like the other two items, the Xuan-Yuan Sword was lost over time, with only legendary records remaining.

……

The imperial seal, the Nine Cauldrons of King Yu, and the Xuanyuan Sword.

These three objects represent heaven, earth and man.

The imperial seal is ordained by heaven and represents the favor of heaven.

The Nine Cauldrons of King Yu suppressed the land of Kyushu and represented the mountains, rivers and land veins.

Xuan-Yuan Sword is the beginning of humanity, the first civilization, and represents mankind.

Now that God's will has been lost and the earth is divided, the imperial seal and King Yu's Nine Cauldrons are probably of no use.

If God’s will is gone, how can we accept God’s orders?

The world is torn apart so thoroughly, which means that even the Nine Cauldrons cannot suppress it.

Only the Xuan-Yuan Sword was born at this time of crisis for the human race.

"Relying on heaven or earth is unreliable. People can only rely on themselves."

Ning Caichen was stunned when he heard Bai Yin's meaningful words.

The confusion and hesitation in his heart faded away at this moment, his eyes sparkled with brilliance and his spirits were high.

"Yes, this world is full of evil spirits, and gods and Buddhas are not visible. It is useless to pray to gods and Buddhas. People can only rely on themselves."

"I want to change the world, but I don't know how to do it. Can Mr. Bai teach me?"

Ning Caichen's eyes were bright and full of hope.

Bai Xin looked at him and asked with a smile: "With your ability, you can live a carefree life without paying attention to what's happening outside. The evil methods can make you live a life worse than death. Do you really want to get involved in this mess?"

"Really? Some things have to be done by someone. I am a scholar, and I have received the teachings of the saints. If I only take care of myself, what about the people who have never been educated?"

"I am just one of the millions of people in this world. I have just read a few more books and have some talent. I should do my duty."

Ning Caichen looked resolute, and his voice was not loud, but it was decisive.

At this time, outside Lanruo Temple, the golden sword light illuminated the sky and tore through the darkness.

All that was heard was a scream that sounded neither male nor female, and the evil spirit that filled the surroundings disappeared like morning mist in the sunlight.

The tree demon who came with great force and wanted to exchange Yan Chixia's life for the reward from the national teacher was beheaded.

Bai Xin could sense that it was completely dead, even the roots of its underground body had been pulled out.

The roots of the evil are gone, and the soul is scattered. There is no way to escape death.

Without the presence of the great demon, the environment in this area is not as gloomy as before.

The mottled sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, bringing a little vitality to the forest and eliminating the oppressive darkness.

With a flash of light, Yan Chixia flew back on his sword.

Apart from his clothes being a little torn and his magic power being a little weaker, he was unharmed.

"Hero Yan is amazing. He killed the monster in less than a quarter of an hour."

Ning Caichen exclaimed in admiration. He was extremely envious of this method of flying with a sword.

When he read fantasy novels in the past, he was very envious of the Taoist magic of those who practiced Taoism.

Unfortunately, it is hard to find the chance to become an immortal. When going to the famous mountains where the Taoist tradition is passed down, one can only wander around in the mountains and cannot find the way at all.

I can only lament that I have no chance to become an immortal, but I have made some achievements in martial arts.

Hearing Ning Caichen's praise, Yan Chixia put the sword back into the sword case and waved his hand: "It's just relying on the power of Xuanyuan Sword. It's like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken."

Then he stroked the sword box and sighed, "This divine weapon chose a rough man like me. I don't know if it can be regarded as a treasure covered in dust."

Yan Chixia's eyes were deep and his thoughts were somewhat complicated.

He obtained the Xuan-Yuan Sword when he fled to an unnamed mountain while being hunted by the imperial master.

With the power of this sword, he directly killed all the evil spirits that were chasing him.

As a cultivator, he knew more or less the significance of the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

Holding the sword in hand means taking on the responsibility of saving the people of this world.

But this responsibility was too great, so great that he simply could not bear it.

Save the people, cleanse the world, and create a peaceful and prosperous era.

Yan Chixia really couldn't fulfill this huge responsibility.

……

You are all problem children. Never mind. Let me give you a BUFF.

Bai Xin thought to himself.

"More than five hundred years ago, Zhang Zai said four famous sentences that shook the world. You are scholars, so you should all know them."

The two were stunned when they heard this, but Ning Caichen reacted immediately and said, "Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity!"

In just four short sentences, he spoke with such emotion that his blood boiled.

Because this is the original dream of all readers.

But there are very few people who can persist in pursuing this dream.

Most of them have forgotten their original intentions in the intrigues of officialdom.

Bai Yin guided them to recite the four sentences of Hengqu, but he was not like other time travelers who just talked about it on paper just to show off.

He is a man who wants to get things done.

As he raised his hand, the sword case opened automatically, and the Xuanyuan Sword flew out and landed in Bai Yin's hand.

Yan Chixia was stunned by this scene.

Because this magical weapon is not something that anyone can touch.

Being able to pick it up means being recognized by the Xuan-Yuan Sword.

Bai Xin stroked the sword gently and said slowly: "Establish a mind for heaven and earth. Now that heaven has lost its way, sword bearer, you should inherit the aspirations of our ancestors, gather the hearts of the people, replace the will of heaven with the will of the people, establish the will of heaven with the will of the people, and forge an order that belongs to mankind."

Then he turned to look at Ning Caichen, his eyes far and deep, and continued: "To establish a life for the people, now the people are hungry and cold, scholars, you should follow the wisdom of the sages, guide the people to move forward, get rid of ignorance, and know how to settle down and establish a life."

The two listened in fascination, and for the first time felt the heaviness of Hengqu's four sentences.

They opened their mouths, but found that they could no longer speak as easily as before.

When I talked about it in the past, I just felt excited and full of energy.

At this moment, I feel that every word is a huge responsibility and cannot be spoken lightly.

“Remember, you are one of the many peoples, a guide, a pioneer, not a savior.”

“People don’t need a savior. As long as the spark of struggle never dies, there will always be hope.”

Bai Xin's words of persuasion were like enlightenment to the two of them. They instantly realized their true intentions and were no longer confused.

A faint flame ignited at the fingertips.

Two sparks also jumped out from the two men's bodies and sank into the flames.

They touched their bodies but found nothing, and asked in confusion: "Mr. Bai, where did this fire come from?"

"Suiren drilled wood to make fire, lighting up the way forward for mankind. This was the original fire of civilization, the fire of hope."

“Perhaps the First Flame has disappeared, but hope lives on in the human spirit.”
