Chapter 945: Sword Saint of Qin

After leaving the Great Qin, Gai Nie traveled to many perilous places in the Southern Victory Divine Continent to temper his sword Dao, especially after visiting several other continents, where he encountered many from the Demon Race.

In the Southern Victory Divine Continent, the Demon Race was relatively docile; although they often went to human towns to devour humans, at least most mortals lived reasonably well.

After going to other continents, the humans there were living in absolute misery.

Especially in the Western Cattle-Herding Continent, in the first few years after he arrived, he could hardly imagine that the mortals here were even kept in captivity by many Demon Race creatures, and the Demon Race even used humans as currency in their transactions.

At first, he was also filled with rage, and in just a few years, he slaughtered hundreds or thousands of demon beasts, all of whom were Demon Race members at the Earth Immortal realm or above.

For this, he even provoked a Golden Immortal-level Demon King, who pursued and hunted him.

If it hadn't been for his sword Dao cultivation being quite good, allowing him to escape by relying on his sword-escape technique, he would likely have already become a meal on that Demon King's plate.

However, even so, he suffered very heavy injuries at the time and spent a full fifty years healing before he recovered.

Afterward, he kept a much lower profile.

But even so, in the days that followed, he continued to slay demons and eliminate devils in the Western Cattle-Herding Continent, spending most of his time slaughtering the Demon Race and rescuing humans.

Of course, he also understood that his actions were merely a drop in the bucket for the humans of the entire Western Cattle-Herding Continent.

Yet he still did not give up; after all, he could save one person at a time. Holding onto this thought, for a full hundred years, he remained in the Western Cattle-Herding Continent, constantly fighting against the Demon Race.

Just like that, his sword Dao became increasingly powerful, and finally, one day, he fought alone against nine Great Demons at the peak of the True Immortal realm, and then he broke through.

He became a Golden Immortal.

From this point on, he leaped over the dragon gate, becoming a Golden Immortal, and his strength underwent a earth-shattering change.

Facing the nine Great Demons at the peak of the True Immortal realm, he wiped them all out with just a single sword strike.

Afterward, he went directly to find the Golden Immortal Demon King who had hunted him down years ago, fought with the opponent many times, and finally killed the opponent.

And his sword Dao, in this constant tempering through battle, became increasingly extraordinary, reaching the current state of returning to simplicity.

Now, when he does not draw his sword, no one can perceive that he is a swordsman or a Sword Immortal.

Compared to the past, he has mastered the sharpness of his sword Dao to a certain degree, reaching a state of following his heart's desire.

After his cultivation broke through to the Golden Immortal realm and he had saved many more people, his reputation in the Western Cattle-Herding Continent became quite significant.

He attracted a portion of human Daoist cultivators, and later, as everyone gathered together, it formed a considerable momentum.

Regarding this, Gai Nie did not object; after all, although those Daoist cultivators were using his reputation, they were at least protecting the mortals under their rule.

After staying there for more than a decade, Gai Nie left.

Because with him, a Golden Immortal-level Sword Immortal, several hundred human immortals had gathered there, forming a force sufficient to protect the mortals within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Gai Nie also found a time to return, and coincidentally, in this Small Southern Domain, he encountered a demonic head.

In the Western Cattle-Herding Continent, he had also encountered many demonic paths, and especially demonic cultivators, who were even more terrifying than the Demon Race.

He had also slaughtered several of them.

At this moment, seeing the Rakshasa demonic head, he didn't even think about it, directly unleashing his sword Dao and killing it with one strike.

After the kill, he saw that he had actually run into an old friend here.

Zhang Liang, this Confucian disciple, had just left the Ghost Valley back then, and at that time, the Six States had not yet been destroyed by the Great Qin.

Zhang Liang was born into the nobility of the Han State and had a good relationship with his junior brother; through his junior brother's introduction, they came to know each other.

Because of several exchanges, their relationship became even closer.

Gai Nie was also a bit excited; it had been two hundred years since he left the Jiuzhou.

For mortals, two hundred years is almost several generations, but for them, these Daoist cultivators, two hundred years is not long.

However, he, Gai Nie, has only lived for less than five hundred years now.

Seeing his old friend again, Gai Nie was very happy, though he himself was not a person skilled in words.

"Come, come, come!"

"Brother Gai Nie, let me introduce you to a remarkable person; this remarkable person is no simple individual."

Zhang Liang rambled on, introducing Su Fan to Gai Nie.

"You haven't returned to the Jiuzhou for a long time now, so you aren't aware of the changes in the Jiuzhou today."

Zhang Liang kept talking about the changes in the Jiuzhou, especially among the common people, and the farming techniques and so on that Su Fan had brought out.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Gai Nie's gaze toward Su Fan changed.

Gai Nie was not some sword fanatic who only focused on practicing sword Dao; he came from the Ghost Valley, and although he was not skilled in military strategy and planning, that did not mean he understood nothing.

In terms of military strategy and planning, he was just a bit inferior to those people before, and on top of that, his sword Dao talent was too strong.

That was why he focused on sword Dao, but he also saw the world very clearly; the simplest reason Great Qin could win was the method of farming and war.

Relying on farming and war, Great Qin's military strength and food were far stronger than the Six States, and only in this way could it unify the world.

And the guarantee of food was the greatest confidence of the Great Qin army.

Now that Great Qin has unified the world, food has become even more important; after all, Great Qin has unified the world, the population has become larger, and if one wants to win the hearts of the world, then food is the most important thing.

He has traveled the world so much, and the common people at the bottom can be said to not care at all who the ruler is; whoever can guarantee they are fed and clothed and won't freeze to death, they are willing to follow.

Those who truly like to resist are actually those nobles and powerful clans.

If Great Qin can solve the food problem, Gai Nie does not think highly of those remnants of the Six States that Zhang Liang mentioned at all.

After all, he knows clearly that Great Qin's strength was able to destroy the Six States back then, so how much power do the remaining remnants of the Six States have now?

The only thing that makes him worry is the Heavenly Court.

When he was guarding the King of Qin, he already had some understanding of it at that time, so he was not surprised at all by Great Qin facing the Heavenly Court.

After all, the ambition of the King of Qin was greater than that of any previous King of Qin.

And after leaving the Jiuzhou and heading to the outside world, Gai Nie's horizons expanded even more, and he also understood that the Heavenly Court is truly not to be trifled with.

In the Western Cattle-Herding Continent, he had also encountered many people from the Heavenly Court; after all, the Heavenly Court is the master of the Three Realms and often descends to the lower realm to capture those demons and devils who violate the Heavenly Court.

When he was slaying demons and eliminating devils, he had also joined forces with the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Heavenly Court to fight against enemies.

After he broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, there were even immortals from the Heavenly Court who descended to the mortal realm to recruit him.

It's just that he didn't have much interest in the recruitment of the Heavenly Court, even though he knew that going to the Heavenly Court would certainly have many benefits for his future development.

However, he is human, and he always remembers that.
