The Chief of the Heavenly Pillar, a Practitioner of the Sword! A golden chariot and phoe

"The fate of the Sword Court is entirely contained within it."

"Which hall's true disciple, which position, has managed to devour destiny, manipulate celestial phenomena, and become the 'chosen one'?"

"Although our ancestral temple of the sword has a sword master who rules the world, in the modern era, there is a lack of successors. Counting all the disciples of this generation, there is only one disciple who can barely be counted in the top ten of the Young Dragon Stele, and the other true disciples are even more mediocre."

"If this year's 'White Jade Capital' youth tournament is only a backdrop for our Sword Court disciples, and we cannot stand out as champions and enjoy the same brilliance as previous generations, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to our reputation."

"But fortunately, things have taken a turn for the better!"

Numerous gazes, including those from those who had their accounts banned, began to fall on the source.

At that time, the ancestral temple of swordsmanship was still at its peak during the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Seven Palaces and Five Academy are filled with those who aspire to be granted titles, including many powerful figures. Some have even taken several steps forward and are almost ready to reach the pinnacle and open the gates of heaven!
These industry giants, after much discussion and a convergence of ideas, finally settled on one name—

Royal power never fades!

"Yes, it seems there's only this one."

"The innate Dao embryo, favored by the heavens, no matter which one is selected individually, before Zhou Chongyang, the master of the sword, represented the sword court, succeeded as the chief, and traveled the world, was a character who could compete with him!"

"While it is indeed a bit too fast to be in one body right now, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this generation's 'ancestral home of the sword' will be established."

"This young man should be the leader."

"With such talent, there is no reason not to devote all resources to him and nurture him with all our might."

The palace masters discussed among themselves, their minds now as clear as mirrors.

The previous "Sword Court Grand Competition" for the promotion of the lower academy's disciples was merely the Sword Master's way of letting this sword prodigy from the royal family make his debut in the entire Heavenly Pillar.

This would allow his disciples and followers to see that this 'little grandmaster' possessed extraordinary potential, thus gaining their respect.

But in essence, it's still just a small-scale operation.

After all, there are neither too many nor too few true disciples of the Sword Court who hold official positions in the Seven Palaces and travel the world.

They may rise to prominence, take the top spot, and receive the crown of "Walking the Way".
There is only one in a generation.

After Zhou Chongyang brought Wang Quan Wumu back, many of the titled leaders of the Sword Court had sharp eyes.

They could all see that if this child could overcome his own premature death, he would surely become unstoppable from then on.

But none of them expected it.
This child gathered the five internal organs and five spirits, repaired his physical body, and filled in his own defects at such a fast speed!

That's truly admirable.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Just now, the sword master Zhou Chongyang was alarmed. When he comes out again, he will probably announce a message that will shake the sword court, the entire 'White Mountain and Black Water' region, and even the vast Great Xuan.

just
This Wang Quan Wu Mu has only recently entered the sect, and has not yet mastered the twelve orthodox heavenly skills, nor the unique skills of the various lineages. According to custom and law.
Each generation of "Walking of the Sword Court, Daoist of the Heavenly Pillar" would ride in a golden chariot, traveling through the three states, so that their "honored name" would awe the lands of the White Mountains and Black Waters, causing their subjects to submit!

Although the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River region is located in the harsh northern area, the local people are martial and many are hidden talents.

Among the nine surnames are the Qishan Jiang clan, the Yuhuan Xie clan, and others. Not only are their current direct descendants no less than the true disciples of Daoting, but they have also inherited the innate talent of human immortals, showing great potential.

Counting down, among the forces at the half-step peak level, there's the Divine Weapon Altar, whose trade routes traverse the north and south and whose connections span the four seas and the universe; and Wang Quan Zhenyue of the Wang Quan family, who, despite failing to break through the Heavenly Gate three times, still clings to life.
Although these forces are not as powerful as the Ancestral Court of the Sword Dao, they can only respect the Ancestral Court of the Sword Dao to suppress the White Mountains and Black Waters, and be the supreme ruler of the Northern Territory!
However, the chief disciple of the ancestral court of swordsmanship is weak and insignificant.
These wolves, tigers, and leopards surrounding them would never miss such a good opportunity to make a name for themselves!

After all, in a battle between disciples, if one's skills are inferior, even a supreme grandmaster like Zhou Chongyang wouldn't have the face to fight for face.

For the sake of the sect's future, even though their own disciples aspire to this high position, the gap between them is simply too great, almost visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, Zhou Chongyang was in his prime, and many powerful figures had long since given up on such thoughts of 'competing for fame and fortune'.

Their only concern was that the position of Chief Daoist would be bestowed upon him when his destiny was revealed and he enjoyed a period of great power and influence.
Is it possible that this is a case of forcing growth, causing the company to become a target of criticism before it has even established a firm foothold?
Many of the powerful figures in the Sword Court hesitated slightly.

but----

As a magnificent and vast voice resounded...
Just like a final verdict, it set the tone for this matter:
"Seven hundred and twenty-three years of the Sword Court."

"Wang Quan Wu Mu established his own lineage, which made the Ancestral Temple manifest and evolved into the eighth Ancestral Master statue."

"It is inscribed with the four limits of martial arts, the 'Royal Power Body,' the secret martial art, the 'Great Five Decays Heavenly Blade,' and continues the titled ultimate skill and the martial saint's ultimate art, the 'Three Tribulations of Reincarnation,' forming a complete system that has contributed to the Sword Court and the nation!"

"Because of his merits, he received the infusion of the ancestral power of the Dao of the Sword, his destiny was unleashed, and he was made manifest from the hidden. He was blessed by two celestial phenomena and became the 'Child of Destiny'."

"Judging their potential and observing their achievements, I, Zhou Chongyang, the Lord of the Sword Court, hereby issue this decree—"

"The king's power is eternal; he shall be the chief of the contemporary Sword Court, the Dao Child!"

"Master of the Transmission Hall."

At this very moment, the celestial phenomena were intensifying, like a raging fire, while Zhou Chongyang remained unseen, still inside the Ancestral Temple.

But the sound had already broken through, echoing through heaven and earth, without any concealment, and entered the ears of every disciple and apprentice who remained at the Sword Court along with the howling wind and snow, clearly audible.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changlu, the Hall Master of the Transmission Hall who was considered one of the most outstanding among the powerful figures, immediately became serious, yet remained composed:

"Please give your instructions, Master."

Zhou Chongyang spoke calmly:
"I want you to enter the palace immediately, retrieve the 'Crimson Book and Golden Register' from the Sword Court, and record the name of Wang Quan Wu Mu as the Daoist Master, changing his name and making it available for future generations to see."

“Then record his name, in accordance with the rites, and send him to the Jade Capital, where he will be recorded in the Great Mystery Register, ranking him alongside the direct descendants of the Nine Clans, and placing him in a position similar to that of princes and nobles.”

"Draft another edict to proclaim to the people that in a few days, the Daoist will make a grand tour of the White Mountains and Black Waters, so that the ten sects and nine branches, and the living lands of the three states, may all admire the majesty of our lineage."

Chen Changlu had anticipated this:
"I accept the order."

"Lord of the Hall of Guardians of the Rules."

Another leader of the Sword Court, a middle-aged swordsman who appeared somewhat refined and magnanimous, emerged from beneath the frost-covered canopy of the palace, looking up at the celestial phenomenon of the Heavenly Ancestor's manifestation, and bowing his head to obey orders.

"I want you to prepare the complete text within a month, ensuring that all the formalities and etiquette for the chief Daoist are meticulously followed. You must adhere to the three rites and establish the nine systems, carrying on the legacy of our ancestors and forging ahead into the future."

"We must send out notices far and wide, even to the nine surnames and ten pillars, the four rivers and three mountains, the heavenly beings and the heretics, and send a letter to each of them, inviting them to attend the ceremony, so as to demonstrate the prosperity of our Sword Court in its spring and autumn."

After he finished speaking, the majestic voice of the heavens had not yet faded away, and he turned his gaze back to the solemn and murderous Hidden Knife Hall:

"The chief Daoist, traveling the world, should display his majesty and should have the authority to 'establish his own government and business and set up his own branch'."

“When the ‘Daozi Hall’ is opened, a true disciple will be appointed to the left and right, to assist him, and another guardian deity will be added to ensure its safety.”

"Further investigate the branches of the various academies, gather three hundred elite soldiers, and appoint them as the bravest warriors of the palace. Whenever they go out, they will sweep the long streets and clear the way ahead!"

Three temple masters accepted the order in succession.

This series of honors was bestowed upon him.
That newly promoted 'Chief Daoist' surpasses even the ordinary titles of the Dao Court in terms of sheer majesty!

Let's not even talk about the turbulent external situation or how to think about it.

At this very moment, inside the Ancestral Temple, several young disciples who had entered in the same batch as Ji Xiu and had painstakingly climbed their way up from the lower courtyard were already dumbfounded.

The Chief Walker, the Supreme Daoist, proclaims this to the Heavenly Pillar!

What an honor!
But even if there are strange feelings in one's heart.
When they saw the 'Eighth Patriarch's Image' imprinted and manifested by Ji Xiu, along with the recorded system of mantles and the return of the Mandate of Heaven, all signs appeared.
Even with his proud spirit, he had to admit that the gap between the two was as vast as the ocean.

Among them, Ye Nankai and Li Wangji, who were once the most outstanding in the Lower Academy and, with a few more years of growth, could have become pillars of the Sword Court, were on par with Chen Danding. They were now enrolled in the Seven Halls as true disciples and were respectively accepted into the Halls of Skill Transmission and Discipline Guardianship.
He even received a summons from the Palace Master, who wanted to recruit him into the Hall of the Daoist Master to serve as the right-hand disciple of the newly appointed Chief Ji Xiu, so as to fulfill his mission!
The two exchanged a glance and, seeing this extraordinary sight, were immediately convinced of its power. Their last shred of defiance was shattered by the series of tremendous events that had occurred today.

"If I could serve under such a person..."

"In this lifetime, I might even be able to reach their level and see half of the pinnacle of martial arts!"

"Not bad at all!"

Thoughts flashed through Ye Nankai and Li Wangji's minds as they looked at the young man's figure and pondered to themselves.

It is evident that, in the years to come, as long as the banner of "the monarchy never fades" remains in place...
Even if the Sword Court collapses and is shattered into pieces, as long as the two of them still have a breath left, they will probably follow his lead when they think of this day and the present!
"Alright, you have all received the true teachings, so you may leave for now."

Other true teachings are simply learned from ancestors. Once the teachings are imprinted into one's soul, the process is considered complete. Therefore, the true teachings were bestowed early on, and most of them were absorbed. The rest was to go back and slowly consolidate and comprehend them.

However, Ji Xiu, whose 'path' was completely different from that of the other true disciples, was still immersed in the practice of the 'Three Tribulations of Reincarnation'.

With the mandate of heaven bestowed upon him, he absorbed the destiny and spiritual energy of the entire snow mountain, causing his physical body to undergo a transformation and advance by leaps and bounds!
Even the 'Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Suppressing Prison Mystic Art' that he was practicing was making progress!

Even in the dream of wealth and glory, one can still cultivate oneself!
If it can increase
You will then be able to see the true deity!

If it weren't for the years of Wang Quan Wu Mu, it wouldn't even be as weighty as the original body's four flawless transformations.
Ji Xiu even felt that the infusion of the seven ancestral sword energies into that double celestial phenomenon was enough to make him break through the fifth limit of ordinary people and instantly reach the sixth level of transformation or even higher.

Even without it, it was already as easy for him to break through the bottleneck of no leaks as eating and drinking.

In a short period of time, he achieved the same level of cultivation as the four stages of transformation in the present world!

As the handle of the scabbard flashed with purple lightning, it absorbed Ji Xiu's sword intent and insights into his ultimate techniques.
It seems that it can also absorb the essence of it, constantly improve, and transform itself!
【Three Tribulations of Reincarnation (1001/3000)!】

[Current Status: The Thunder Pivot Blade is now fully completed!]

[Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Prison Suppression Technique: (467/900)!]

[Without the power of the Four Symbols, one can move a thousand pounds!]

Sensing the feedback from the Primordial Dao Talisman, Ji Xiu opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and even a fine sweat appeared on his palms.

Beside him, Zhou Chongyang, whom he had not seen for a long time, was waiting quietly, seemingly waiting for him to fully comprehend the matter, showing great patience.

This moment.

Compared to when he failed to enter the Yellow Millet Dream realm last time, Ji Xiu has already taken a significant leap forward, and his vision is much broader than before.

At the same time, looking at Zhou Chongyang, one can better perceive the slight aura emanating from his body, as if, with all his might, he could cut off rivers and seas and collapse the void!

This is the kind of character who stands at the pinnacle of the Great Xuanwu Dao.
His words, spoken with imperial authority, proclaimed to the entire Heavenly Pillar that he was 'Chief of the Sword Court, and a Daoist Attendant'.

Fortunately, it was a 'dream'. If it were in reality, Ji Xiu wouldn't even dare to imagine it. In the entire Cangdu, where would anyone dare to take advantage of him?

A golden carriage travels, with soldiers clearing the way;
The true disciples on both sides, protectors of the Way!

Such a spectacle.

I'm afraid those powerful warlords of Cangdu would be terrified just to see them, let alone fight them.
It's a pity that two hundred years later, the ancestral court of the sword path had completely collapsed, so there was no way to put the blame on those three clans.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu felt a little depressed, but as soon as he gripped the hilt of the knife, that little bit of annoyance vanished.

No matter how
He had only just entered the dream this time when he had already mastered the Thunder Blade and begun to practice the remaining Wind and Fire Tribulations, without even needing to fully understand and comprehend the complete 'Three Tribulations of Reincarnation'.
Now that he has returned, he is absolutely confident that even if all the noble families and orthodox geniuses in Cangdu are of the highest caliber, he can defeat them one by one!

Since you've already become a Daoist, and are determined to walk the path of 'invincibility,' what's wrong with conquering a state of higher rank?

Didn't you see he's about to embark on a hunting expedition through the Changbai Mountains and the Heilongjiang River region?
I recall the King of Yan riding in his royal carriage, with water sprinkled before and after him to clean the streets, and armored soldiers paving the way—what an imposing spectacle!

Ji Xiu, who had recently exclaimed that "a true man should be like this," never expected that such an honor would come true for him so soon.
But I have to say, this feeling is truly comfortable!
Even just a glimpse into the 'yellow millet dream' is enough to captivate people. No wonder everyone's lifelong pursuit is nothing more than the two words 'power and fist'!

"Senior brother."

"If I were to bear this title of Daozi, what would I need to do to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the Daoting?"

Ji Xiu composed himself and didn't say anything humble or pointless. What's done is done, and saying such things would only be a show, and in this ancestral court of swordsmanship, it might even make people dislike him for no reason.

Therefore, Ji Xiu readily accepted it, his eyes shining brightly.

Zhou Chongyang, however, wore a smile:
"That's how it should be, that's how it should be."

"The 'Chief Walker' among the Heavenly Pillars, the Venerable One of the Dao.' Looking across the world, who wouldn't want that position? Who wouldn't want to be it?"

Even if it makes one a target of public criticism, one would still accept it willingly.

"Now that I'm in your arms, I'm yours. Do whatever you want with me. Even if the sky falls, the Blade Court will protect you!"

"And all you have to do is 'promote cultivation, spread your fame, strengthen the lineage, and dominate the generation'—that is, just these sixteen characters."

"This is what you will be doing when you tour the White Mountains and Black Waters!"

"No matter what you did or what you did."

"After returning to the Great Snow Mountain in a month or so, I will be able to participate in the promotion ceremony and see the 'Nine Surnames and Ten Pillars, and other heretics' who have come to witness the ceremony!"

These words stirred Ji Xiu's heart.

In the past, I always went with the flow, forced to grit my teeth and move forward. Where have I ever fought such a grand battle? I'm practically a 'protagonist of the times' made in heaven, a born trendsetter!
Hunting in the White Mountains and Black Waters
When Ji Xiu thought of this, the first person he thought of was Jiang Shu.

Thinking of the help that the Jiang clan leader had given him in reality, and recalling his actions towards her before he knew her, Ji Xiu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

At this time, Jiang Shu was unaware of everything.

But if one does nothing, it would be too much of a "discarding the millstone after it has served its purpose" situation.

Since I have become the Daoist of the Dao Court, even if I do not form a marriage alliance with her, I should at least protect her as the Jiang family of later generations did, and grant her a lifetime of happiness and contentment while I am in power!
There are also memories from my childhood, of how the Wang family treated me like a chore, and the shameless act of later generations trying to seize the Wang Quan sword.
Ji Xiu was quite displeased with this.

What will happen two hundred years from now?

Two hundred years ago, I taught your ancestors a lesson to vent my anger!
Then, I'll make a side trip to Beicang and see if I can plant some seeds of karma that might influence reality two hundred years from now.
Fortunately, with the true disciples on both sides and protectors, even if the sky were torn open, the Lord of the Blade Court, Zhou Chongyang, the 'Number One Under Heaven' at the height of his power, would be there to protect him.
In this vast land of white mountains and black waters, who would dare to breathe on me?
They will all become mere stepping stones for honing my swordsmanship!

And so.
After a day or so, the turmoil subsided.

The next day!

The golden carriage, representing the standard travel attire of the 'Nine Surnames and Ten Pillars' and bearing the mark of the ancestral court of swordsmanship, went straight out of the Great Snow Mountain!

This journey...
Throughout the lands of Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang River, the name of 'Walking in the Court of Swords, Unfading Royal Power' will be known! (End of Chapter)
