Though Jing Tian had always worked diligently, on this day he failed to report for roll call and spent the entire day outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he returned at night, Zhao Wenchang launched into a furious tirade against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jing Tian, do you want to die? Where did you run off to today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing “do you want to die,” Jing Tian’s heart turned to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment Chong Lou drew the Demon Sword, an earthquake struck Chongqing City. By chance, Jing Tian collapsed onto a girl in red robes—Tang Xuejian, a member of the Tang Clan, who carried Tang Clan poison darts called iron caltrops. Jing Tian was poisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he overslept in the morning, was scolded by the clerk with “do you want to die,” went to the Tang Clan to find Tang Xuejian and was scolded again with “do you want to die,” returned to Yong’an Pawnshop and was scolded once more by Zhao Wenchang with “do you want to die.” Jing Tian felt heaven was sending him a sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he might truly die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main hall of Yong’an Pawnshop trembled as a cold wind blew in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian and Zhao Wenchang turned to see a red-haired man, tall and imposing, holding a sword as tall as himself, its purple blade inscribed with mysterious runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pawn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer slammed the sword into the floor and barked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wenchang, trembling at the sight of the great sword, forced Jing Tian forward to ask: “How much?” Jing Tian, meanwhile, was estimating the sword’s value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One copper coin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man spoke briefly and plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One copper coin? Not enough to fix the gate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the man’s aura was overwhelming; Zhao Wenchang dared not haggle. He immediately ordered Jing Tian to prepare the pawn ticket, complete the transaction, and hand it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired man took the ticket, looked at Jing Tian, and sighed: “You’ve sunk so low…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, mysteriously, he turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quickly, clean up that thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wenchang, seeing the sword pawned for one copper coin, deemed it worthless and dismissed it carelessly, though still trembling slightly as he rose and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another one of these days…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian stepped forward to repair the gate, but another couple entered, carrying a small infant. The man looked refined and handsome; the woman dressed like someone from the southern barbarian lands. Upon entering, the man’s gaze fixed on Jing Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The shop is closing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re Jing Tian, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian nodded. “Jing as in scenery, Tian as in sky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man smiled again. “Your ancestor was Jing Huan, Minister of Rites. Correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this reference to his ancestor, Jing Tian stood up solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Jing Huan fell gravely ill, a female martial artist named Han Lingsha lent money to Jing Yang. At the time, Jing Yang said that among his descendants would be a great wealthy man in Shu who would repay this debt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing’s face bore a bitter expression. “Times have changed. Han Lingsha’s kin are now blind and penniless. After much searching, they remembered that old promise—and sent me to ask you for help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A great wealthy man in Shu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian pointed at his own face and cried out: “Me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the five endings of Sword and Fairy III, the official ending is the perfect one: Zi Xuan sacrificed herself to seal the Demon Prison Tower. Chong Lou took Jing Tian to the New Immortal Realm for a duel. Though equal in realm, Jing Tian defeated Chong Lou. Using his raw power, Chong Lou split Long Kui into Red Kui and Blue Kui, and Jing Tian married Tang Xuejian, becoming a great wealthy man in Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, Jing Tian has not yet completed the game. As a lowly clerk, hearing his ancestor’s debt suddenly land on him, he was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether you’re a great wealthy man or not, Han Lingsha’s kin are blind. You must give them something,” Gu Qing said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was indeed true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian nodded, pondering how to raise money. Though a lowly clerk, he had skill in appraising and restoring antiques—he could find ways to earn funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to ponder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing halted Jing Tian’s thoughts. “Give me the sword. I’ll handle the rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian looked toward the sword pawned for one copper coin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Sword trembled, then flew out and hovered before Jing Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, none understood the past of Yun Tianhe, Han Lingsha, Liu Mengli, and Murong Ziying better than Long Kui. Once, Long Kui sacrificed herself to forge the sword; the Demon Sword was filled with malevolent energy and turned against its master. Murong Ziying retrieved it, dispelled its malice, and helped Long Kui gradually master it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as Gu Qing spoke of those old events, Long Kui listened closely. When she heard they meant to take her away, she could no longer hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Sword spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Kui had just reunited with her brother—she would not be separated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing gave a sly smile, flicked his hand, and the Xihe Sword appeared in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson glow of the sword stirred memories of her past confrontation with Xuan Xiao. She cried out in shock. The Demon Sword whirled, casting countless afterimages that swept down upon Gu Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a flash of swordlight—Gu Qing now held the purple great sword in his hand, within which red and blue lights flickered faintly, as if deeply unwilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of anger rose in Jing Tian’s heart—he felt injustice toward the sword. He stepped forward, reaching to snatch it. “Your identities are unknown, and this sword—I won’t give it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing twisted his sword, striking the hilt against Jing Tian’s body. Jing Tian bent over in pain, crying out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing studied Jing Tian. Every divine being possessed immense power. Just now, when he struck Jing Tian, he sought traces of divine energy within him—but found none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine general like Fei Peng, who wielded the Zhao Dan Sword, should not have been so easily abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing loosened his grip on the great sword. The Demon Sword flipped, positioning itself before Jing Tian, guarding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough joking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing crouched before Jing Tian, flicked his hand, and Jing Tian felt the swelling pain in his body ease. From within the Demon Sword, Long Kui’s figure emerged, clad in a flowing, wide-sleeved immortal robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian stared in astonishment at the sword spirit appearing within the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long Kui.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing spoke her name directly. “Do you wish to face the master of the Xihe Sword again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Kui had been about to ask whether Gu Qing was friend or foe—but his question silenced her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s been cast to the bottom of the Eastern Sea, bound by divine restraints. Why face him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Kui asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For gods and demons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qing seized the Demon Sword again, grabbed Jing Tian beside him, and before Chong Lou’s eyes at the street corner, soared upward toward the Eastern Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-20T17:04:28.193Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","38d57a23fe0d23a8062fbe54ffaf050ed2c5935823658751673448f5830bcdd6","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-413","living-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-chapter-411",449,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fliving-among-all-heavens-achieving-immortality-t-cover.jpg"]
