The Long and Hard Road Is Like Iron

Chapter 993: The Long Road Ahead

The sword of Taiqing Realm has reached the realm of swordsmanship, which is different from the previous thirty-two levels of swordsmanship.

The previous thirty-two levels of swordsmanship have not yet gotten rid of the pattern of entry-level moves, while the Taiqing Realm Sword has entered the realm of swordsmanship, which is somewhat similar to the realm of supreme spiritual consciousness, so it is called the sword domain.

However, the realm of swordsmanship is still different from the realm of supreme spiritual consciousness.

The realm of supreme spiritual consciousness focuses more on the influence of spiritual consciousness on external objects. When entering the realm of spiritual consciousness, everything gradually becomes still. This is the ultimate of visualization.

The Kaihuang sword domain focuses more on attack and is the ultimate of sword.

The sword of the Taiqing realm was already difficult for Qin Mu to understand and comprehend, but above this realm, there was another realm that made Qin Mu's scalp tingle.

Finally, the 34th Heavenly Sword Domain of Kaihuang was brought into play. That was the Shangqing Realm Sword Domain. When this sword came out, the entire Kaihuang Heavenly Court was almost boiling.

The old ministers of the Kaihuang era had tears in their eyes and their voices turned into a torrent as they all called out Qin Ye's name. That kind of enthusiasm was like a flood that swept across the world, and even the new generation of gods and demons in Wuyou Township were swept up involuntarily and fell into the worship of Kaihuang.

Their calls sounded like the Creator in ancient times worshipping the Great Emperor, so fanatical, so crazy, and so irrational.

Qin Hanzhen and his wife frowned slightly, looking at the crowd around them that had lost their minds. This kind of fanaticism was something they had never experienced before, and it made them feel a little uneasy.

Yan Yunxi also frowned. This situation made her very uneasy.

She had never seen Kaihuang use the Shangqing Realm Sword Domain. It should be the sword technique that Kaihuang created after he took over Wuyou Township. However, this is not the key point.

The key point is that Kaihuang's old ministers and the new generation of gods and demons now regard Kaihuang as an omnipotent god. When Kaihuang fought with Qin Mu, both of them used the Thirty-Three Heavens Sword Art. The old ministers were awakened by the spirit contained in the sword art, and it seemed that they had returned to the glorious days of the past.

However, the situation was much more complicated than she expected.

Qin Ye was not the Emperor Kaihuang from the beginning. He gradually became the leader of that era through battles and life-and-death struggles with the enemies.

There are so many legendary stories about him that unknowingly he has become a symbol of an era and the backbone of that era.

At the end of the Kaihuang era, even the old ministers regarded Kaihuang as an invincible, omnipotent, and the most wise and intelligent being. They dared not and would not question any of his decisions.

This was also the reason why the old ministers suddenly lost their energy and spirit after arriving in Wuyou Township, and it was also the root cause of the failure of the Kaihuang Reform.

They established a god in their hearts, and Kaihuang was this god, and it became their belief.

When the image of Kaihuang collapsed, their faith collapsed, and they fell into decadence for 20,000 years.

Now, the Thirty-Three Heavens Sword Art seems to have brought them back to the era of blindly worshipping Kaihuang.

Yan Yunxi was in a state of confusion. It was definitely not a good thing to re-establish Kaihuang as the god in the hearts of everyone in Wuyou Township!

Qin Mu used Kaihuang's Thirty-Three Heavens Sword Art to awaken the dusty and withered Taoist heart of the old minister of Wuyou Township. This was a good thing. Yan Yunxi even gave up the idea of ​​letting Qin Mu give Kaihuang a good beating.

However, the charm of Kaihuang is too strong. To attach the spirit of an era to one person will only lead to a repeat of the same mistakes!

"Kaihuang must lose—"

Veins popped out on her forehead and she clenched her teeth. Now she missed the woodcutter Wen Tiange a little. She thought to herself, "If Wen Tiange were here, he would definitely find a way to prevent this from happening! Unfortunately, this bastard swore not to enter Wuyou Township..."

The Kaihuang era was not an era of one person, and the Kaihuang Reforms were not the reforms of Kaihuang alone.

And now, history is repeating itself, and she is powerless to stop it.

The Shangqing Realm Sword Domain displayed amazing combat power in front of everyone, almost invincible combat power. Qin Mu resisted with all his might, but he seemed vulnerable in front of this sword domain!

In the blink of an eye, he was covered with bruises.

He recognized this sword realm. In the Creator City in Taixu Land, Huo Tianzun left his own mark of the Dao. At that time, he was facing Kaihuang.

Kaihuang's sword domain exploded, forcing Huo Tianzun to improve his cultivation strength to the peak. However, Huo Tianzun was still injured by Shangqingjing's sword domain!

Facing Kaihuang's sword domain, he tried his best, displaying all kinds of sword techniques, even using his own sword of robbery, but in the end, Kaihuang still pierced through with one sword!

At this time, the cheers of the people of Wuyou Township also reached a peak, and the fanatical voices rushed into the sky, shaking the entire Wuyou Township!

Kaihuang held the Wuyou Sword, his expression remained the same as before, calm and unperturbed, and nothing could shake his determination to follow the Tao.

However, at this moment, there was a hint of sadness and sorrow in his eyes.

At this moment, suddenly rolling yellow sand swept in, covering the sky in an instant, and the wind was howling, as if an invisible giant spread out the yellow sand desert, forming the illusion of a thousand-mile desert in the sky.

Kaihuang stood in the yellow sand desert, holding a sword and looking ahead.

Toot--

Above the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace, an extremely loud horn sounded, as if it was the eve of a war, and a giant was summoning his energy and blowing the war horn. The soul-stirring sound brought waves of murderous aura.

Ahead, strong winds swept up the yellow sand like a sandstorm, burying the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace in the yellow sand.

Qin Mu's figure walked out of the dust storm, with countless stars shining in the sky. Behind him, a tree took root, sprouted, and grew branches. It grew into a towering tree at a terrifying speed, as tall as the sun and the moon, and even higher than the sky.

Kaihuang looked up and saw Tiangong, and looked down and saw Tubo.

Around him, palaces emerged from the yellow desert, and rolling sand and dust flowed out of the palaces and poured down, while the evil palace floated in the sky, and some sank into the ground.

Ancient gods sit in various heavenly palaces, and above this vast heavenly court. Countless ancient gods and demons with tall and ferocious bodies are the most ancient rulers of this world, controlling the fate of all living beings.

As Qin Mu walked over, the entire world moved with him, pressing towards Kaihuang with supreme pressure.

Under the shining starlight, the runes of the ancient gods' avenues sparkled with bright colors, shining on his body. The Xuandu of the God of Heaven, the Youdu of Tubo, the Yuandu of the Earth Mother, the Guixu of the Emperor and Empress' sisters, the Tianyin Realm of the Goddess Tianyin, the Sijitian of the Four Emperors of the Ancient Gods, and all the ancient gods reflected their avenues on him and blessed him.

He is like the ancient god who is high above everyone else, possessing unparalleled power and controlling the life and death of everyone!

And in Kaihuang, in the Kaihuang era, all the living beings in Kaihuang were ants that could be crushed to death at any time!

He possesses the most powerful power in the world!

Kaihuang took a swift step and ran wildly, stabbing forward with the Wuyou sword in his hand. One sword reached the thirty-three heavens, like an unparalleled warrior drawing his sword towards the sky.

Boom boom boom!

One South Gate of Heaven after another rose up in front of him. He walked through them with his sword in hand. Every time he passed through a South Gate of Heaven, it felt like his body was pressing down on a palace in heaven. He passed through fourteen South Gates of Heaven in a row and leaped up, but what came towards him was Qin Mu's fist.

The huge fist contained a power that made people feel despair. It smashed down his thirty-three levels of sword skills and hit him, knocking him down into the yellow sand.

This scene brought the cheers in the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace to an abrupt end. Both the old ministers of Kaihuang and the new generation of gods and demons stared at this scene in a daze, watching the invincible leader in their hearts being defeated by a single punch.

Suddenly, Kaihuang soared into the air, and the Wuyou Sword flew around him, reflecting countless teleportation runes, turning his figure into a sword light teleportation stream, flying rapidly around the vast sky, shuttling around the majestic Qin Mu, looking for flaws.

Cheers rang out again, one huge wave after another. It was the people in Kaihuang Heaven cheering for Kaihuang and encouraging him.

Kaihuang drew his sword again, and the Shangqing Realm sword domain erupted, but what came towards him was a huge palm, which slapped him hard to the ground as if it was slapping a fly!

The cheers stopped again.

Kaihuang stood up shakily, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and looked up at the tall figure in the heaven.

He roared, rushed forward with his sword again, and fought hard.

boom!

He was knocked to the ground again, this time harder than the last time, making his limbs sore and weak. He struggled to get up, but fell to the ground again.

Finally, he got up again, looked at the fist coming towards him, and barely raised the Worry-Free Sword in his hand.

Boom!

He was smashed deep into the yellow desert, his body tumbling like a broken sack, raising waves of sand.

Qin Mu struck out one punch after another, and the people of Kaihuang Heavenly Palace below looked at this scene in a daze. Qin Mu's punches did not seem to be hitting Kaihuang, but seemed to be hitting them, shattering their worship and their pride.

"You want to change the law?"

The voice that came out of Qin Mu's mouth was like a god from the Ninth Heaven, high above, extremely indifferent: "You want to change this world?"

"Just you?"

"Just you alone?"

"joke!"

boom!

He raised his big foot and stepped hard on Kaihuang, laughing loudly: "The so-called Kaihuang era has never existed. You are the only one who has insisted on it! Who do you rely on? What Taoist friends do you have? You only have a group of slaves who are crying for food! They are not your Taoist friends, but slaves who worship you!"

"Why don't you go along with the corrupt? Why don't you be like Qin Tianzun who smiles and is kind to everyone? Why do you still hold your head up?"

Qin Mu stepped on him again and shouted angrily, "Why do you still want to get up?"

Kaihuang held up his feet with both hands, half-knelt on the ground, staggered, and tried hard to stand up.

"Don't get up!"

A young god-demon cried out, "Your Majesty, don't get up! Just admit defeat!"

Qin Mu exerted force with his thighs and stepped heavily on Kaihuang in the dust, his face ferocious and ferocious: "You don't owe anyone, you haven't let anyone down! As long as you kneel down, you are still Qin Tianzun! Not the traitor Qin Ye, not the Kaihuang who was worshipped as a god in Wuyou Township! Kneel down! Be Qin Tianzun!"

He lifted up his feet, and Kaihuang lay in his footprints.

Qin Mu stretched out two fingers and pinched him up as if he was pinching a tiny ant.

He looked down upon the common people and laughed heartily: "These people are your fellow Taoists? These people are the main force of your Kaihuang Reform? They are just a bunch of pathetic creatures!"

"Qin Ye, surrender. These people are not worth your life! Take off your clothes, come to the Heavenly Palace, kneel down before the Ten Heavenly Lords, and beg for forgiveness. You are still Qin Tianzun, still high above, and countless people still admire you and worship you."

At this moment, Qin Mu suddenly felt endless anger.

In the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace below, an old minister tore off his clothes, raised two hammers, and struck the war drum hanging in front of the South Gate of Kaihuang Heavenly Palace. The drum sounded, and the hoarse and vicissitudes of life voice turned into a heavy war song: "The west wind is strong——"

Fang Youji tore off his clothes, took off his hat, let his shawl fall down, and stood his coffin upright. He patted the coffin and sang: "The west wind is strong! The geese are calling in the sky, and the frosty morning moon is shining!"

Yan Yunxi drew his sword, and the long swords clashed with each other, with a clear sound: "Frosty morning moon! The sound of horses' hooves is broken, and the sound of trumpets is choked. The long road to the pass is as hard as iron!"

From each of Kaihuang's old ministers, waves of spirit belonging to that troubled era burst out, as strong as a rainbow. Their voices were no longer calls of worship, and their Taoist aspirations were no longer the twisted ones that placed all their hopes on Kaihuang alone.

Their voices are low but full of penetrating power, showing the suffering and hope of that glorious era to the new generation of Wuyou Township, which is shocking.

“The long road ahead is as hard as iron, but now we can start over again!”

"Now let's start from the beginning again--start from the beginning again!"
