The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 041

Chapter 041 Reunion Conversation
Elder Liu brought Li Qing and Liu Ke’er to his residence.

The courtyard was still simple and elegant. There was an old willow tree beside the pond. Under the tree, there were a few stone chairs. They sat down.

Elder Liu asked, “Where have all of you been in the past year? Why couldn’t I find you no matter how hard I tried?”

“We are trapped in a valley” Li Qing recounted their experiences.

There weren’t many things to do, and they were quickly finished. However, the process was extremely winding and bizarre. After Elder Liu heard this, he couldn’t help but be amazed, “Hundred Flowers Valley! Immortal Confusion Illusion Formation! I didn’t expect that there would actually be such a place in the Lianyun Mountain Range.”

The Lianyun Mountain Range was simply too large, stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers, occupying an area that exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. Back then, Li Qing had walked for three years before he reached the center of the Lianyun Mountain Range.

Within such a vast mountain range, the Eight Desolate Mountains only occupied a central area. The rest of the area was a desolate ancient land filled with unknown secrets. It was unknown how many experts and hermits lived in seclusion. Therefore, it wasn’t unusual for Li Qing and Liu Ke’er to encounter an expert’s hiding place in the mountain range.

“Back then, I couldn’t find you. I thought I was already killed by that white snake. I didn’t expect that I would jump down the valley and survive the catastrophe.” Elder Liu smiled and said, “Unfortunately, that white snake was cunning. It escaped and was unable to kill it.”

“Although it didn’t kill him, it’s not far away. It almost killed him. Fortunately, the cliff was a pond, so he managed to survive by luck.” Li Qing recalled it and still felt a lingering fear in his heart. “However, we have also obtained the inheritance of an expert. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. Speaking of which, what is the origin of that Hundred Flowers Valley Master and what cultivation realm has she reached? Even though she has died for many years, her methods are still unparalleled. She is truly powerful.”

Elder Liu pondered for a moment before replying, “To be able to set up the Mysterious Immortal Illusion Formation, and even leave behind an unfathomable divine sword, passing down a profound and peerless inheritance, I guess that person’s strength has already reached the Xiantian realm. He is very likely an expert at the Void Realm! As for his origin, that’s hard to say.”

“A Void Realm expert!” Although Li Qing and Liu Ke’er already had some guesses in their hearts, they were still very shocked to receive confirmation from Elder Liu.

Above the Innate Realm was the Void Realm. To an ordinary person, such an expert could already be considered a first-rate land deity.

Legend has it that Void Realm experts can fly to the heavens and escape the earth, move mountains and fill the sea, be omnipotent, and live for 500 years. Compared to a true immortal, such a figure was probably not much inferior. I didn’t expect that they would actually encounter one.

“It’s just a guess. I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, and I’m not sure.” Elder Liu added. After all, Void Realm experts were too rare, so he wasn’t sure.

“Oh, right.” Liu Ke’er suddenly said, “I also got a divine sword. I wonder what grade it is. Grandpa, help me take a look.” As he spoke, he took out a shiny sword from his interspatial ring. The air instantly became cold and filled with coldness.

‘”Eh, this sword” Elder Liu was very knowledgeable. He immediately sensed the extraordinary aspect of this sword and stared at it. He was shocked and said, “How is that possible!”

He directly stood up, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and arrived in front of the divine sword. He carefully sized it up, but did not touch it with his hand. After observing for a long time, he finally took a long breath and sat down silently.

“What’s wrong, Master?” Li Qing couldn’t help but ask when he saw that his expression was different.

“I’m afraid this sword is beyond your imagination.” Elder Liu sighed and continued, “I don’t dare to draw a conclusion. I wonder if I saw anything wrong.”

“So powerful?” The two of them were shocked. Elder Liu was a top Xiantian expert, knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Even he said so, it was obvious that this sword was definitely very powerful.

“That’s right, very powerful.” Elder Liu nodded and said, “I have seen spirit artifacts before. Although they are precious, they aren’t too rare and won’t surprise me too much. However, this sword doesn’t seem to be a spirit artifact. It contains the charm of the Grand Dao. It is unparalleled in its beauty. It is more like a Dao artifact.”

“Dao Artifact!” It was like a thunderclap on the flat ground, scaring Li Qing and Liu Ke’er to death.

Dao Artifact … What kind of concept was that? That was almost an immortal artifact! A weapon used by an immortal! Weapons of this level possessed the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth. They were usually used as treasures of the world’s first-rate sects to establish their foundations and suppress their foundation.

How could this sword in front of him be a Dao Artifact? It was as if they were in a dream.

“Really? Is it really a Dao Artifact? Isn’t this too big of a background?” The two of them found it hard to believe and their hearts couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Elder Liu pondered for a long time and then changed his tone, “Actually, I’m not too sure. After all, I have never seen a Dao Artifact before. However, this sword is at least a high-grade spirit artifact, or even higher.”

“If I can find out the name of this sword, I might be able to guess its origin.” He said. There were only a limited number of Dao Artifacts in the world, and every one of them was famous, so it was impossible to create one out of thin air.

“This sword should be called the Lunar God Sword.” Li Qing thought for a moment and replied.

Elder Liu was stunned and asked, “Lunar Sword? How did you know?”

“Because the owner of the sword left behind a poem on the wall of the stone room. There is a line written on the poem, ‘The Lunar Sword slashes all the heroes in the world like a rainbow. So I think it might be the Lunar God Sword.'”

‘”Lunar Sword” Elder Liu repeated a few times. He recalled something in his mind and then said, “Could it be that Lunar Sword? If that’s the case, then it would be troublesome.”

“Which one?”

Elder Liu said in a deep voice, “One of the Seven God Swords of the Sword Sect is called the Lunar God Sword!”

“Sword Sect?” Li Qing had never heard of this sect.

“The Sword Sect is located in the Eastern Region. It is a super sect in the Eastern Region. The Sword Dao Sacred Land is 108,000 kilometers away from us. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.” Elder Liu explained. They were located in the Southern Domain, while the Sword Sect was located in the Eastern Domain. The distance between the two domains was indeed extremely far.

“Eastern Region!” Li Qing took a deep breath. How far should it be? “Why would a sect so far away have their sect’s divine sword appear here?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps something has happened within the Sword Sect.” Elder Liu shook his head. He was too far away to know what was happening there.

In his early years, he had also traveled to various places, but he didn’t go too far and never left the Southern Domain. Even for a Xiantian expert like him, such a place in the Eastern Region was too far away.

Even if something were to happen in such a distant place, they wouldn’t be able to find out. It would probably take an extremely long time for the news from that side to reach this place. Unless someone was specially sent to inquire about it, they would not be able to know immediately.

“Could it really be that lunar divine sword?” Elder Liu felt a headache. His name was the same, and he also contained the charm of the Grand Dao. He felt that it was probably that one.

“If it really is that Lunar God Sword, then it will be really troublesome. Ke’er, you must guarantee that you can’t take out this sword in a crowded place, or else you will definitely cause a great calamity.” He instructed with a solemn expression.

“Alright, I will definitely pay attention.” Liu Ke’er said seriously. Elder Liu’s expression was too serious, scaring her, as if a great disaster was about to befall her.

“Obtaining this sword is your good fortune, but it may also bring great calamity.” Elder Liu sighed, “If only this was just a spirit artifact.”

If it was just a spirit artifact, with their strength, they would still be able to keep it, and they could openly take it out and use it. However, obtaining a Dao Artifact was a double-edged sword. He didn’t dare to use it even if he got it. Moreover, with their strength, it was impossible for them to unleash the full might of Dao Artifacts, and they were not much inferior to spirit artifacts.

However, there was nothing he could do now. Since he had already obtained it, at least it wouldn’t be a bad thing. If the heavens refused to take it, they would be blamed instead, so it was impossible for them to throw it out.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Elder Liu’s expression relaxed. “You guys have just returned today, so you should be happy. Don’t talk about this anymore.”

Then, they started chatting happily. Throughout this process, Liu Ke’er had been gesturing at Li Qing Shi.

The two of them had a mutual understanding, so Li Qing naturally knew what she meant. After a while, he finally said hesitantly, “Master, I have something I want to tell you.”

“Oh? What is it?” Elder Liu said casually.

Li Qing gathered up his courage and said seriously, “It’s me and Ke’er. We are in a good mood and have been engaged to each other for our entire lives. Therefore, if we want to propose marriage now, I hope that Master will fulfill our wish.”

“The two of you …” Elder Liu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, “I should have thought of it a long time ago. This is a good thing. Since you two are happy with each other, why don’t I agree?” With a casual sentence, he agreed to the marriage between the two of them.

Li Qing was overjoyed, “Thank you, Master.” Things were going so smoothly that he felt as if he was in a dream.

Elder Liu looked at Liu Ke’er and asked, “Ke’er, do you agree?”

A red cloud fluttered across Liu Ke’er’s face. She lowered her head and nodded shyly, saying, “I am willing.”

“Good, very good!” Elder Liu was very happy. Then, he remembered something and asked, “Speaking of which, the two of you have lived in Hundred Flowers Valley for more than a year. You two met each other day and night. Wouldn’t it be long ago… Hehe?”

Afterwards, he revealed a very vulgar smile, and his painting style changed drastically.

Li Qing and Liu Ke’er were dumbfounded. They didn’t expect that the old man in front of them, who had always been respected and immortal, would actually reveal such a vulgar smile. They’re kind of uncomfortable.

“Grandfather!” Liu Ke’er angrily blushed and turned her head away, not answering.

Li Qing said honestly, “Ke’er and I are innocent. Nothing like that happened.”

Elder Liu was a little shocked and said, “Really? For more than a year, you guys were able to control a lone man, a widow, and firewood. Are you lying to me? Don’t worry, I’m very open-minded and won’t blame you.”

The more he spoke, the more bare his bones became, completely inconsistent with his image as an expert. The three of them were discussing this kind of thing here, and the scene seemed a little strange. Liu Ke’er was already ashamed to death, so she turned around and didn’t dare to look at them.

Li Qing replied, “That’s not the case. It’s mainly because of the inheritance of that sect. In order to cultivate the Lunar True Sense, we must maintain our virginity and not have sex with men. In order to break through the Mysterious Immortal Illusion Formation, we must cultivate the Lunar True Sense. Therefore, we have no choice but to do so.”

He was afraid that Elder Liu would say something strange, so he quickly added, “Of course, it’s limited to the Houtian realm. Once you reach the Xiantian realm, you don’t need to remain a virgin.”

“That’s why.” Elder Liu suddenly understood. He nodded and said, “Then aren’t you going to get married so quickly? You have to wait until Ke’er reaches the Xiantian realm? That will take a long time.”

“That’s right. Actually, we’re not in such a hurry. We can afford to wait.” Li Qing said. A martial artist’s lifespan was long, so it wasn’t uncommon for them to marry late.

“How about this?” A trace of worry flashed through his eyes, but he quickly hid it from Li Qing and Liu Ke’er.

“Then let’s get engaged first. Let’s settle the marriage first so as to avoid a long night’s sleep.” Elder Liu said, “But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be done.”

“What is it?” Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat. There shouldn’t be any changes, right?
