#1039 - Guardian, please take your seat!

All the Qingyun elders stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at Jun Wuxie, unable to utter a word for a long time.

This time, they were not just shocked, but terrified.

Even for someone at the Holy King Minor Celestial Realm, to be able to kill over twenty Half-step Great Saints like that was already far beyond their cognitive limits, an unimaginable abnormality.

Saint Realm Supreme Celestial Late Stage?

Before this, even if they had let their imaginations run wild, they wouldn't have dared to imagine something so exaggerated.

It took them a long time to recover slightly.

At this moment, True Person Chengyuan swallowed his saliva and said, "Then… what exactly is your talent growth domain?"

"Myth."

The moment Jun Wuxie uttered those two words, everyone present was shaken to their core.

They had actually guessed it in their hearts, but hearing him admit it personally still filled them with unparalleled shock.

What is a Myth?

That is someone truly like a myth!

Only such a person can step into the Myth domain.

And Wuxie is only at the Saint Realm Supreme Celestial Stage. He is so young, his path of cultivation is still long, and he will have many opportunities to continue strengthening his bloodline and physique, and stimulate his own potential.

A Myth in the Saint Realm! Even in those ancient legends, they had never heard of such a thing in those great places!

"Half a year ago, we received a secret wanted order from the Great Qian Dynasty, and the imperial family of the Wu'an Dynasty, the second dynasty of Qing Province, also issued the same secret wanted order. The person wanted…"

The Qingyun elders finally asked the secret hidden in their hearts for a long time. At this moment, combining his performance, speculating on his origin, and thinking of that wanted order…

"It's best not to mention this matter again," Jun Wuxie did not deny, reminding them, "What you received was only the Great Qian Dynasty's secret wanted order, while the Great Qian Dynasty received a wanted order from an even higher power. The power behind this matter is strong enough to destroy the entire Qing Province in a single day."

The Qingyun elders were covered in cold sweat. They had naturally guessed that there was a stronger force behind the scenes, but they had not expected it to be so strong.

At the same time, they also realized that this young man had a great background, and the force behind him was probably not simple either. He had only come to Qing Province to escape the wanted order.

This seemed to explain why he joined Qingyun.

Because Qing Province was far enough away from the great power that issued the wanted order, its direct sphere of influence could hardly reach Qing Province. It could only rely on layers of transmission to have the forces of Qing Province carry out the secret wanted order.

And the forces of Qing Province did not understand the target of the wanted order, and could only obtain limited information from the wanted order issued from above.

Seeing the deep worry between everyone's brows, Jun Wuxie said with a smile, "You don't need to worry about this. My identity will not be exposed for the time being. By the time I am exposed, I will no longer be in Qing Province. At that time, Qingyun will not be affected. As long as I am not in Qing Province, the people of that force will not extend their hands to Qing Province."

Upon hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the case.

If his identity were exposed now, Qingyun would definitely be implicated and destroyed; if his identity were not exposed now, but exposed after leaving Qing Province, then that force's attention would not be on Qing Province.

After all, a place like Qing Province is too inconspicuous for such a force, and they probably don't even have the desire to pay attention to it.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things. That's not what you need to pay attention to. Paying attention is useless and meaningless," Jun Wuxie stood up, looked at everyone present, and said, "Earlier, at the entrance of the main hall, I said I had something to say to you. Are you curious about the swordsmanship I used to kill the three sect experts?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's interest was piqued, and excitement appeared on their faces.

Qingmu said, "That should be swordsmanship from the True Martial Sword Manual, right? After all, the True Martial Sword Intent cannot be wrong, but we never knew that True Martial Peak had this kind of swordsmanship inheritance! What's going on?"

"That is the inheritance of our True Martial Peak, left by the founding ancestor of my True Martial Peak," True Person Chengyuan answered for Jun Wuxie, "Wuxie passed the test of the Road of Legends, entered the True Martial Ancient Hall, and obtained the inheritance method left by the ancestor. This is the complete True Martial Method, while what we used to cultivate was only an incomplete method."

"So that's how it is…"

Whether it was the foundation experts like Qingmu, or the sect leader and the chief of each branch, all revealed shocked expressions.

Judging from the three sword techniques that Wuxie used, their power was extremely strong, far exceeding their imagination.

The complete method left by the True Martial Ancestor was much stronger than the incomplete method that True Martial Peak had always cultivated.

Compared to the methods of their several branches, it was unknown how much stronger!

"If Qingyun wants to truly become strong in the future, in addition to me, the strength of others must also be improved. After all, I will eventually leave Qing Province, unless you want to forever be content with staying in a corner. That way, you may be able to enjoy peace for a period of time, but if the world is turbulent in the future, the weak Qingyun will be difficult to withstand."

Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie looked at True Person Chengyuan, "Master, if I let each branch cultivate the True Martial Sword Manual together, I wonder if Master would agree?"

"This…"

True Person Chengyuan was stunned. He did not expect Wuxie to make such a decision.

At this time, all the foundation experts, the sect leader, and the chief of each branch looked at him with expectant eyes, waiting for his response.

True Person Chengyuan looked at their fiery gazes, pondered slightly, and finally nodded, saying, "I'll listen to you. Since you think it's better this way, then let's do it this way."

Jun Wuxie could still feel that his master, True Person Chengyuan, was somewhat unwilling from his tone.

After all, this was the unique inheritance of True Martial Peak, and the other branches had not been very good to True Martial Peak over the years.

But if Qingyun wants to grow stronger, it must do this.

Jun Wuxie had his own considerations. Although he planned to let each branch cultivate the True Martial Sword Manual together, he did not intend to share the complete True Martial Sword Manual with each branch.

He only intended to give each branch the elementary chapter.

Although it was the elementary chapter, it was the complete version of the elementary chapter, which was many times stronger than the elementary chapter that True Martial Peak had cultivated before. It was not the same concept at all.

This was the initial chapter of an Emperor-level cultivation technique.

Just this elementary chapter was enough for each branch to study for a lifetime.

"Now, I will share the True Martial Sword Manual with you, as well as my insights and experiences on the True Martial Path."

Jun Wuxie's brow glowed with the light of his soul, and in the way of divine sense transmission, he shared a large amount of information into the sea of consciousness of everyone.

The expressions of the Qingyun elders became more and more shocked as they accepted this information, and then they revealed a look of intoxication.

They were completely immersed in the profoundness and artistic conception of the True Martial Sword Manual.

"Master, you don't have to feel down. What I shared with them was only the elementary chapter. When we return to True Martial Peak, I will share the complete chapter with you and my senior brothers and sisters,"

Jun Wuxie saw that True Person Chengyuan's emotions were not very right, and could not help but transmit his voice.

True Person Chengyuan was stunned, and the depression in his heart was immediately swept away, and his mood suddenly improved.

Jun Wuxie observed his emotional changes, and could not help but find it funny in his heart.

This master of his, at such an old age, actually has the temperament of a child sometimes.

"Everyone, the True Martial Sword Manual, you should still find time to carefully study it later."

Jun Wuxie's voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating, pulling them out of that profound artistic conception.

The elders were all shocked, and suddenly opened their eyes. While their hearts were excited, they could not help but reveal a trace of embarrassment to him.

"The True Martial Sword Manual is no small matter, so it cannot be taught to the disciples for the time being," Jun Wuxie said with a solemn expression, "Our Qingyun actually doesn't need so many people. The disciples of each branch are of mixed quality, and it is time to clean them up."

The chief of each branch could not help but be shocked, and said, "Wuxie, are you saying that we should dismiss our disciples?"

"That's right, but it's not a random dismissal, nor is it based on talent to choose who stays and who leaves. I will make a magic formation and have the disciples take the assessment in batches. Those who fail the assessment will all be dismissed!"

"This… what are the main assessments?"

The foundation experts, the sect leader, and the chief of each branch all looked at him.

"Only test the mind, all exquisite egoists, those who do not know gratitude, those with too low a bottom line, and those without principles, will all be dismissed. Only after completing this step can the True Martial Sword Manual be taught. In the future, when recruiting disciples, the mind assessment should be an indispensable and important part. That way, the number of people in our Qingyun may be reduced by a large margin, but the overall cohesion will be improved by several levels, and the comprehensive potential will only be stronger, so that we can go higher and farther in the future!"

"Wuxie is right. Simply pursuing the number and talent of disciples, lacking the screening of the mind, can only make the sect seem huge, but in reality, it is bloated. For example, Qin Yi, his talent is very high. How much resources and energy have we spent over the years to cultivate him, but what is the result? For his own benefit, he betrayed the sect. What is the use of recruiting such a person? Not only is it a waste of resources and energy, but he also frequently violates the rules of the sect, leads others astray, sets a negative example, and in the end, he relies on King Ning, and may even become our enemy in the future!"

The chief of Falling Cloud Peak said with a sullen face. When she mentioned Qin Yi, her stomach was full of fire.

Sect Leader Qingxuan True Person was somewhat embarrassed. Qin Yi was his disciple, but now he has done something that betrays the sect, which is a disgrace to him.

Fortunately, he used to think of the relationship between master and disciple, but now when he thinks about it, his stomach is also full of anger.

At this time, Qingmu True Person and the other foundation experts were secretly communicating.

Soon, he spoke, saying, "We agree with Wuxie's suggestion on this matter. The number of disciples lies in quality rather than quantity, so that the sect can be united as one in times of crisis. On weekdays, the environment of the sect will also become better, and the disciples will be friendly to each other, so that they can establish a deep relationship between fellow disciples and treat each other as their own."

Speaking of which, Aoki Makoto paused, and then continued: "The elders have just secretly discussed and reached a consensus, deciding to make Wuxie the guardian of our Qingyun, inheriting the position of the True Martial Ancestor!"

As soon as these words came out, Chengyuan Zhenren looked excited, and his lips trembled.

What kind of glory and status is this?

The guardian is the absolute pinnacle of power in the sect, and one person can veto the entire group of elders and deny the decision of the sect master.

The founding ancestor of their True Martial Peak was so powerful that he obtained such power and glory, becoming the only guardian in the history of Qingyun.

After the disappearance of the founding True Martial Ancestor, Qingyun never had a guardian again.

Because everyone after him was not outstanding enough in strength, they were not qualified to inherit the position of guardian.

The peak masters of each branch looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.

They knew very well that the position of guardian was actually meaningless to Wuxie, because with his strength and status in the hearts of the elders, he already had the power to decide Qingyun's choices.

On the contrary, for Qingyun, it would be beneficial to make him a guardian.

In this way, it is equivalent to putting the responsibility of the entire Qingyun on his shoulders, so that he will guard and develop Qingyun more carefully.

"This is not good."

Jun Wuxie knew what they were thinking, they were worried that he would forget Qingyun after leaving Qingzhou in the future.

Although the position of guardian has the highest power in Qingyun, he has no interest in it.

"Wuxie, don't decline. Only the founding True Martial Ancestor has held the position of guardian. In the long years that followed, no one else was qualified. Now, you have this qualification, you should inherit the guardian position of the founding True Martial Ancestor."

Sect Master Qingxuan Zhenren persuaded him like this. This young man has unlimited prospects in the future, and he must not miss the opportunity to deepen his relationship with Qingyun.

Jun Wuxie was about to speak, but Qingxuan Zhenren walked down from the high seat.

He came to Jun Wuxie, bowed slightly and saluted, saying: "Please, Guardian, take your seat!"

Suddenly, all the high-level officials of Qingyun stepped forward to salute and said in unison: "Please, Guardian, take your seat!"

Jun Wuxie stroked his forehead, feeling a headache.

"You don't have to be like this, even if I don't become a guardian, I won't forget Qingyun after leaving Qingzhou in the future, you..."

"Please, Guardian, take your seat!"

They didn't listen at all, standing in front of him with a slight bow, repeating this sentence.

Jun Wuxie opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, only let out a helpless sigh.

Even his master, Chengyuan Zhenren, was bowing and standing in front of him. If he didn't accept, they would probably argue with him based on their appearance.

There was no way, he had to walk to the high seat and sit down.

Seeing that he finally accepted, everyone showed a knowing smile.

Now, their mood is unprecedentedly relaxed, and they have expectations for the future that they never dared to imagine before.

What threat from King Ning, what threat from the emperor.

They are no longer worried about these.

With such a mythical guardian from a great place who cultivates weapons, martial arts, and runes, they believe that with his ability, he will definitely be able to deal with King Ning and the emperor!

"Are you satisfied now?"

He looked at the high-level officials unhappily.

Everyone showed an embarrassed smile, does this need to be said, of course they are extremely satisfied.

"By the way, we need to accumulate funds now. I have some mid-grade high-level holy swords here. You go to the Qingyun City Chamber of Commerce to sell them, and then buy some second-grade mid-level and high-level holy materials back."

Jun Wuxie waved his hand, and fifty or sixty cold rainbow lights flew out, suspended in the air, which were the mid-grade high-level holy swords he had refined.

"Remember to hide your identity. Although the Chamber of Commerce will keep it secret, you still have to be careful and don't let them know that it is our Qingyun who is selling these things. In a few days, there will be another batch of holy swords of this grade. As long as you buy back the materials, we will have a continuous supply of mid-grade high-level and top-level holy swords for sale. When enough holy spirit pills have been accumulated, you can buy third-grade holy materials, and then I will forge some high-grade holy swords."

"Okay, we'll go now!"

Two guardians stood up with excitement on their faces.

The guardian is a weapon refiner, and a very heaven-defying weapon refiner.

In this case, how can Qingyun not accumulate the funds to supply future development?

With funds, what can't be bought except for a few rare treasures?

"Let's go, let's go and see the sect's sword formation now."

Jun Wuxie got up and walked outside the Holy Hall. The two elders who sold the swords left in a hurry, and the rest followed him, pointing out the location of the sword formation.

Jun Wuxie entered the sword formation area, and the runes under his feet bloomed and sank into the earth. He opened his runic eyes and carefully observed.

The sword runes of the sword formation are not very profound. From the perspective of runes, they are quite crude, but the level of the sword runes is very high.

This is from the hands of the ancestors of each branch.

Looking at the level of these sword runes and the sword laws contained within, it seems that the ancestors of each branch were all powerful experts in the Great Sacred Realm.

It's just that I don't know why, Qingyun declined later, and was no longer as prosperous as it was at the beginning of its establishment, and no one has ever stepped into the Great Sacred Realm again.

He carefully looked at the sword formations of the five branches all the way.

Using runic methods, he cannot enhance the power of the sword formation.

After all, he is only at the peak of the Holy Rune Master realm now.

However, he found that he could increase the power of the sword formation by nurturing swords in the formation eyes.

It just needs high-grade top-level holy swords to integrate with the formation eyes of the sword formation, which can greatly increase its power.

"I wonder what the success rate of refining high-grade top-level holy weapons is with my current weapon refiner realm..."

He can't try it now, mainly because the third-grade holy materials are expensive, and they can only be bought at the Chamber of Commerce in the imperial city.

Qingyun's financial resources simply cannot support it.

At present, we still have to accumulate funds first.

After watching the sword formations of several branches, he told everyone that the identity of the guardian must be kept secret for the time being to avoid arousing suspicion from King Ning and the emperor, causing trouble, and it cannot be made public in the sect.

Then he returned to True Martial Peak with Chengyuan Zhenren.

Before reaching the courtyard of True Martial Peak, he saw from afar that Senior Brother Nan Jin, Second Senior Sister Yun Shu, Third Senior Sister Yi Ling, and Fourth Senior Brother Han Ye were all guarding the door, looking forward to it, as if they already knew that he had returned to the sect.

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother is back!"

Han Ye pushed Nan Jin, and Yi Ling pushed Yun Shu to greet him.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister."

Jun Wuxie stepped forward and stretched out his right hand. Nan Jin, Yun Shu, Yi Ling, and Han Yi smiled and successively reached out to touch the palm of his hand.

"Junior Brother, you are finally back. We thought that you and Ancestor Qingmu were taken away by the emperor after you left for several months..."

Yi Ling said here, her eyes were slightly red.

During these days, they were indeed worried. Since they learned about this matter after leaving the retreat, they have been worried all day long, unable to sleep at night. They even lost their appetite for the delicious food made by Han Ye, and had no intention of cultivating.

"I made Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters worry."

Jun Wuxie looked at them, feeling warm in his heart.

He found that Nan Jin and Yun Shu's complexions were not very good, slightly pale, and he couldn't help but squat down, grabbing their hands with both hands, and said: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, your physical condition doesn't seem to be very good, what's going on?"

Yun Shu smiled and patted his hand, and said: "Don't worry, Senior Sister and your Senior Brother are fine. They were just injured when they broke through the Holy King realm and transcended the tribulation some time ago. They have not fully recovered yet, and they will recover completely in a few days."

"So that's the case, then congratulations to Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister."

Jun Wuxie relaxed and showed a smile.

Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister finally broke through to the Holy King realm, which should be a strong spiritual encouragement for them who are physically disabled.

Their incomplete bodies can still break through the bottleneck of the great realm, which shows that their hearts are full of fighting spirit, and they are no longer as self-deprecating as they used to be.

"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters are all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, Junior Brother, we would have to do our best just to live. How could we have such achievements today."

Senior Brother Nan Jin was very emotional. Although he was physically disabled, his heart was full of hope for the future, as if he had returned to the era of high spirits, and he was still the young man with bright clothes and angry horse.

"I will help Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters regenerate their broken limbs, it shouldn't take too long."

Jun Wuxie thought, as long as there are enough holy spirit pills, he can buy the heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed at that time, and it should be possible to regenerate the broken limbs.

Even if he really encounters difficulties, he can bring them back to the lower realm and ask Xiao Xiao for help, so there will definitely be no problem.

Nan Jin and Yun Shu smiled, they didn't have much hope for this.

The rare treasures needed for the regeneration of broken limbs are of immeasurable value, and it is difficult to obtain even with the power of Qingyun, let alone easily.

However, Senior Brother is very happy and moved to have such a heart.

"Junior Brother, we have all heard about your legendary deeds in Guancheng."

Yun Shu said with a gentle smile: "It is said that you killed all the trial disciples of the three sects? You also broke the curse that no one could climb to the seventh floor of the Trial Tower, and climbed to the ninth floor in one fell swoop. In the end, you conquered the Trial Tower, making it take the initiative to recognize you as its master. Having a junior brother like you is the most proud thing in my life."

"I'm just lucky..."

Jun Wuxie was humble.

Yi Ling listened and couldn't help but tease: "Hehe, I wonder when I, Third Senior Sister, will have such good luck."

Everyone smiled suddenly.

...

Jun Wuxie spent a long time chatting with his senior brothers and senior sisters, and gave each of them a mid-grade top-level holy weapon, all of which were heavy swords, which shocked and surprised them.

They couldn't imagine where their little junior brother had obtained so many top-grade middle-rank Saint Weapons. What was even more astonishing was that they were all heavy swords perfectly suited for them, as if custom-made.

Finally, he shared the complete True Martial Swordplay manual, along with his complete comprehension of the Sword Dao and cultivation insights, with them.

While they were immersed in the artistic conception of the True Martial Sword Dao, he left the front courtyard and returned to his own small courtyard in the inner courtyard.

The small courtyard was very quiet and empty.

It was summer, and the flowers in the courtyard were blooming vibrantly, but the fallen petals scattered all over the ground, along with the rotting pears that had fallen under the pear tree, indicated that it had been a long time since anyone had cleaned it.

Apart from Aunt Jing, hardly anyone ever came here.

His senior brothers would definitely not set foot here without a reason, and as for his senior sisters, they were usually in cultivation, so they probably hadn't been here in a long time either.

But what about Aunt Jing?

With her personality, how could she ignore the fallen flowers and rotten pears all over the ground?

Aunt Jing's figure was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard or the hall.

He had been back at True Martial Peak for so long, chatting with his senior brothers and sisters in the front courtyard, how could Aunt Jing not know?

He released his divine sense and quickly sensed her aura in her boudoir.

He felt that something was wrong. Aunt Jing knew he was back, and normally she would have appeared before him at the first possible moment, but instead, she had locked herself in her room and refused to come out.
