More than ten years later, in a valley outside Xiangyang City.

A thin and lonely man in black was sitting on a boulder, stroking the wooden sword in his hand and muttering to himself.

"I have traveled across the rivers and lakes for more than thirty years, killing all enemies and traitors, and defeating all heroes. Now I seek an opponent but can't get one. I feel so lonely and embarrassed... Eh."

The man in black frowned and fired the wooden sword in his hand at a huge boulder not far away.

"Clang", golden light flashed, and the wooden sword was bounced and stuck upside down on the ground.

A thin old man wearing a Taoist robe and a purple crown appeared out of thin air from the boulder.

"Hey, Dugu Qiufei, I didn't expect that you, a mere martial arts cultivator, could actually practice swordsmanship to the point where the human sword can be moved with one mind at will. It is really rare. Would you like to join my wooden sword sect and become a sword cultivator in the hidden world of immortals?

”.

The thin old man wearing a Taoist robe and a purple crown asked with a smile.

"I want to come to your wooden sword gate? Hahahaha... what qualifications do you have?"

Dugu Qiubai jumped off the boulder and reached out to grab it. The wooden sword stuck upside down on the ground flew back into his hand with a "whoosh".

"Huh? Controlling the sword in the air has returned after nine turns. It seems that the method of entering the Tao through martial arts is not completely ineffective. You can't attract the power of heaven and earth, but you have cultivated your own energy and blood power and innate true energy to the extreme."

This little old man was a little surprised.

"Stop talking nonsense and take my sword."

Dugu Qiubai waved his sword and the flowers filled his Dantian with energy, and he quickly stepped forward and stabbed fiercely.

"Hey, there is a sword as if there is no sword, there is no move as if there is a move, the sword energy is restrained and the Tao method is natural, and the cultivation has reached the Nirvana stage of ancient cultivation. Yes, it is really good."

Not only did the little old man not dodge, he even commented again with a smile.

Dugu Qiubai ignored the little old man and continued to stab the little old man in the chest without changing his moves.

but.

Just when this wooden sword, which seemed indifferent but contained great power, was only one foot away from the little old man's chest.

A golden light flashed in front of the little old man, and a faint golden light shield suddenly appeared, and a three-foot sword light protruded from the light shield, blocking the wooden sword with a "dang".

"Gang Qi protects the body and gathers Qi into a sword. You actually cultivated the innate Gang Qi?".

Dugu Qiubai was surprised.

"No, I am a cultivator of immortality. I don't know any innate Qi. This is the Hunyuan Sword and Shield."

"A person who cultivates immortality? Hunyuan Sword and Shield?".

Dugu Qiubai was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.

"Dugu Qiubai, did you know that in this world besides the martial arts world, there are also immortal cultivators in the hidden world? What you martial cultivators cultivate in the secular world is only the power of your own blood and innate true energy."

"What I, the immortal cultivator, cultivate in the hidden world is the Qi of the Five Elements between heaven and earth. The power of the two is vastly different, and the martial arts cultivator and the immortal cultivator are even more incomparable."

The little old man was very proud.

"The energy of the five elements between heaven and earth? Immortal cultivation?".

The more Dugu Qiubai heard, the more confused he became, or he couldn't believe it.

"That's right, what we immortal cultivators cultivate is the energy of the five elements between heaven and earth, also called the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Once we cultivate it to the extreme, hehe, we can achieve immortality and immortality."

"To achieve immortality through Tao Shengxian? Humph! Where did you come from, lunatic? I will make you immortal right now."

Dugu Qiubai didn't believe it at all, he hit the wooden sword with a wave of his hand and "swish" was struck again.

Dugu Qiubei's sword move was still mediocre, but before the wooden sword struck, a huge and terrifying invisible sword energy penetrated the wooden sword and struck first with a slight wave of void.

"Hey, the sword energy actually reaches three feet? It's a pity that it can't be realized, otherwise this sword would be comparable to the middle stage of foundation building."

The little old man commented again, then calmly raised his right hand and "swish" a black shadow came towards the wooden sword.

"Click"

Dugu Qiubai's wooden sword was broken into two pieces, and a black iron sword appeared in the little old man's hand.

"The sword is contained in the body? How can you combine the human sword with the sword? This, how is this possible?".

Dugu Qiu was confused. He spent his whole life practicing swordsmanship, and what he wanted was to be able to combine the sword with the body and the body, but he could never achieve it.

"Dugu Qiufei, I told you that I am not a mortal but an immortal cultivator and a sword cultivator. I am here to take you back to the mountain under the order of the sect. If you agree, you can become a sword cultivator."

build".

"Immortal cultivator? Sword cultivator? This..., there are really immortal cultivators in this world?".

Dugu Qiubai was completely confused and didn't even listen to what the little old man said.

"Dugu Qiubai, people in the world practice martial arts, but they don't know where martial arts come from, let alone cultivating immortals after practicing martial arts. However, since ancient times, the method of martial arts and Taoism has failed, and I, the immortal cultivator, has secluded himself from the world and rarely appears in the world. Of course you don't know."

"The method of entering the Tao through martial arts has failed? Then, why did you come?"

Dugu Qiubai asked something that he didn't hear clearly just now.

"I'm here because there are always exceptions in everything. Your power of blood and innate true energy have been cultivated to the extreme. You can't draw the power of heaven and earth, but you can turn around nine times and control the sword in the air."

"The Dugu Nine Swords that you created yourself are also based on the Taoist Law of Nature, and your cultivation has reached the Nirvana stage of ancient cultivation. However, although your spiritual roots are bound, they cannot be unsealed. I am here...".

The little old man thought for a while after saying this.

"Dugu Qiubai, you are a sword-based person, and you are destined to be a sword cultivator with me. If you are willing to join this sect and stay away from the secular world, we will help you unblock it."

"Senior, you are here to accept me as a disciple? Then, may I ask what sect you belong to?"

Dugu Qiubai finally came to his senses.

As the saying goes, a connoisseur will know if he is good as soon as he makes a move. This little old man is much more powerful than him. He changed his name to "senior".

"I am the elder of Mujianmen, the only swordsmanship sect in the hidden world of my little spiritual cultivator, Chen Changfeng, the Green-Gang Divine Sword."

"Wooden Sword Sect? Then I dare to ask Senior Chen, what is sword cultivation? How is it different from other immortal cultivators?"

Not only did Dugu Qiufei believe it, but he also became curious.

"Well, sword cultivation is based on the sword, and you can practice both the human sword and the sword. Once you form the mana golden elixir, you can put the accompanying sword into your body and turn it into a natal magic weapon that can improve together with your own cultivation."

"Although other immortal cultivators have their own magic weapons, their power is fixed and cannot be improved. Therefore, my sword cultivator has always been slightly stronger than the cultivators of the same level, and I can even kill enemies beyond the level."

"Ah, a sword cultivator is slightly stronger than a monk of the same level? Can he still kill enemies across levels?".

Dugu Qiubai was surprised again.

"Yes, immortal cultivators have always valued magic over martial arts. However, our sword cultivator is based on martial arts and respects the sword. If we only talk about swordsmanship and martial arts, let alone other cultivators of the same level, even if they are one level higher than other cultivators, they may not be my swordsmen.

Fix your opponent”.

"Of course, although other immortal cultivators do not attach great importance to martial arts, they can draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use. They also have many spiritual talismans and magic weapons and Xuanmen techniques at their disposal. If they really want to face the enemy in battle, it needs to be different from person to person."

.

"I see, then what if I really want to join your sect?".

Dugu Qiubai was excited. Since there is immortality on top of martial arts, and swordsmanship is slightly stronger than other monks, why are you still hesitating? Isn't this what he has been pursuing?

"If you really want to worship at my Wooden Sword Sect and cultivate immortality, you just need to stay away from the world of mortals and follow me."

"Okay! I can't get a rival in the world today, and I am so honest and embarrassing. There are only Xiu Xianxian above the martial arts. What are the love of red dust in this area?

Then, then
