Chapter 112: Ascending the Stage, Appearing

By dusk, the whole city was boiling.

Because everyone clearly saw that on the east side of Kong Que City, a city like a mountain was slowly flying over.

Twelve buildings and five cities, the twelve buildings are still in front of the five cities, so it naturally cannot be a small building.

Just talking about this Huanzhu Building, it is five hundred feet high and two hundred miles in circumference. It is not as big as Kong Que City, but it is much higher. The whole building is integrated, and the people inside are smaller than ants. Looking up, the shock is even greater than Kong Que City.

When the Huanzhu Building was close, dazzling magic array spiritual light erupted from the two huge buildings, but the mountain-protecting arrays of each flashed and disappeared, and the Huanzhu Building slowly stuck to Kong Que City.

People on Kong Que City looked up and couldn't see the top of the Huanzhu Building.

A figure flew out from the center of Kong Que City. The man was wearing a high crown and gorgeous clothes. Where he stood, auspicious colors and clouds emerged in the void. Only heard the man say,

"Brother Brother Shanshou! Finally, I have been looking forward to you!"

"Haha, Brother Qian Boya, I was also anxious. When I left, Brother Rusou pulled me and wouldn't let me go. It was hard to get rid of him. When I landed from the East Sea, I met a group of Xuan swallows returning north, so I had to let them pass. That's why I arrived late."

Accompanied by hearty laughter, a man in white flew out of the Huanzhu Building.

The man's face was like jade, his long beard was fluttering, he was handsome and extraordinary, and he was carrying a long sword diagonally on his back.

The man in gorgeous clothes laughed and scolded upon hearing this, "Xuan swallows are the masters of the Third Heaven, it is right to let them pass. But why did that Li Rusou pull you? After a few days, I will definitely go to the East Sea to find trouble with his Zhen Tao Building!"

The two laughed loudly.

"Everyone!"

The man in fine clothing said loudly, his voice spreading throughout the city and the building, "Fellow Daoists who have come to Kong Que City, fellow Daoists of the Huanzhu Building, after the hour of Hai tonight, the fireworks in Kong Que City will not stop, and all wine and food will be free!"

A wave of cheers like a mountain and a sea erupted from the city and building.

"Everyone!"

The man in white also raised his voice, "I am Li Brother Shanshou of this building. Tonight, I will borrow the precious land of Kong Que City to hold a sword-fighting meeting, inviting little friends of the first and second realms to enter, and other friends who like swords can all watch!"

As soon as this was said, the wave of cheers lasted for a long time.

Through the mouths of others, the few from Mount Sanqing also knew the identities of the two. The man in gorgeous clothes who came out first was the City Lord of Kong Que City, Qian Qian Boya, a high cultivator in the Loose Immortal Realm. The man in white carrying a sword who came out later was the Master of the Huanzhu Building, Li Brother Shanshou, a sword immortal in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

And just after the sword immortal Li Brother Shanshou said he would hold a sword-fighting meeting, the news spread, and cultivators from all directions came to the Third Heaven from the lower world, pouring into Kong Que City and the Huanzhu Building. By the time it was close to the Hai hour, even the roofs and eaves of every building were full of people, which could be called a grand occasion.

Just in the expectation of everyone, the sun set and the moon rose, and the Hai hour had arrived.

"Bang!"

A huge golden chrysanthemum firework blooming in the Third Heaven—Yao Tai Yu Feng, ignited everyone's emotions.

And this was just the beginning. Everywhere in Kong Que City, streams of light shot from the city into the sky, like meteors flying backward, and then bloomed into gorgeous flowers in the air, illuminating the sky above the giant city as bright as day.

In the curtain of fireworks, Li Brother Shanshou stood at the top of the Huanzhu Building, with the round jade plate bright moon behind him, illuminating the outline of the sword immortal and the top of the Huanzhu Building. Only saw him wave his sleeves, and two things flew out of his sleeves, both growing with the wind, instantly turning into behemoths.

One turned into a hundred-step high platform carved with railings and jade, and the other turned into a giant mirror almost as high as the Huanzhu Building.

The high platform and the giant mirror were both suspended in the void outside Kong Que City and the Huanzhu Building. The high platform was almost invisible next to the giant mirror, but the picture in the giant mirror was exactly what was on the high platform. At this moment, the many cultivators in the city and building, as long as they raised their heads slightly, could see the patterns on the jade bricks of the high platform clearly through the giant mirror.

One can imagine that if someone stood on the stage, it would definitely be clear in every detail.

Sword cultivators with a little knowledge should know that these two are the beloved immortal artifacts of the Master of the Huanzhu Building. One is called the Jade Yao Platform, and the other is called the Moon Mirror.

This is another reason why the Huanzhu Sword-Fighting Meeting is very famous.

Imagine you are fighting with a sword on the Jade Yao Platform, and your figure is magnified ten thousand times by the Moon Mirror for the world to see. Who can be calm?

"This sword-fighting meeting starts with body swords. Those who practice body sword techniques can ascend the steps to the stage."

The Master of the Huanzhu Building said loudly.

Unexpectedly, but within expectations, only a few hundred streams of light flew out from the city and building, like fireflies flying toward the Jade Yao Platform.

It is the norm that there are many flying swords in the world today, followed by magic swords, and body swords are the fewest.

In the Sea Market Restaurant, the few from Mount Sanqing looked at Cheng Cheng Xinzhan.

Cheng Cheng Xinzhan patted the "Autumn Water" at his waist and laughed loudly, "I'm going!"

The young Daoist rode the clouds and flew away, also turning into a grain of firefly.

When they arrived under the Jade Yao Platform, the sword guests carrying swords discovered that the high platform only looked small from a distance and next to the Moon Mirror, but in fact it was a hundred feet high, and the steps from the bottom to the top were about a hundred levels.

And the few hundred sword guests stood in a row under the stage, still looking sparse, and it was thousands of steps in circumference.

In the distance, the Master of the Huanzhu Building flicked his finger, and a grain of light fell onto the Jade Yao Platform, suddenly changing.

The bright moonlight fell on the Jade Yao Platform. Everyone says moonlight is like water, but at this moment, the moonlight really turned into water. The moonlight water accumulated on the stage, and the moonlight water fell along the steps like a waterfall. In the process of falling, the water momentum became more and more surging. After falling a hundred levels, it was like a great river.

But whether it was a flying waterfall or a great river, it was the image from a distance. If you look closely, it is clearly densely packed people holding swords rushing down, with an unstoppable momentum, but these people disappeared after rushing out of the bottom level of the steps.

Cheng Cheng Xinzhan was not the first to arrive, but the people who arrived before were all waiting under the steps without stepping up, seemingly observing.

However, he believed that the sword has no constant momentum, and there is no need to wait and watch, so he stepped forward directly. After stepping on the steps, he saw a sword cutting horizontally toward his waist and abdomen, with an unstoppable momentum, and the speed was extremely fast.

His speed of drawing the "Autumn Water" was even faster. After the sword was drawn, his wrist turned, his arm lifted, he held the sword and drew a semicircle, then accumulated momentum and retracted, his hand passed in front of his chest, then drew a circle, lowered, and the strength was transmitted from the soles of his feet to his waist and then to his arm. He swung it hard, and the tip of the sword swept past his ankles and flicked forward.

Like sweeping away the dust on the ground, the long sword turned into an arc of light, cutting off the sword that was cutting horizontally.

He stepped up again.

The second sword stabbed toward his throat. He used the remaining momentum of his arm lifting, his shoulders sank suddenly, and he pulled the sword from top to bottom, slashing obliquely on the second sword.

Step up again.

The third sword was a heavy slash from the sky.

He retracted the sword and stabbed it out suddenly. At this moment, his first step, second step, and third step had already connected into a momentum. Under the addition of the step momentum, this sword stabbed so fast that the sword hadn't fallen yet, but he had already stabbed the phantom holding the sword, so he stepped up again.

Every step did not stop, but became faster and faster.

The picture in the Moon Mirror fell into everyone's eyes. They saw the group of sword guests climbing the steps, like water waves against the current, but there were too many people, and the sword light was chaotic, so they naturally looked at the one walking in the front.

There was one person who was walking in the front from beginning to end. "Cheng Xinzhan really has two tricks!"

In the viewing corridor of the Sea Market Restaurant, He He Jiyuan stared at the Moon Mirror without blinking, watching Cheng Cheng Xinzhan who hadn't stopped for a step, stood up and clapped his hands.

"Is that just two tricks!"

Wang Wang Miaoyuan also watched the Moon Mirror without blinking, not delaying to retort a sentence in his mouth.

Feng Daoist Jihu watched seriously, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, thinking that he climbed the steps so fast, he wanted to throw himself, who led him into the sect, behind him before long.

On the top floor of the restaurant, Xiao Shiniang also sat on the viewing corridor holding a lion cat, looking at the back in the Moon Mirror.

Qingyu naturally waited on the side, and she said, "I only know that Daoist Cheng is good at drawing talismans, but I didn't expect his sword skills to be so powerful!"

Xiao Shiniang scolded, "That is a high disciple of Mount Sanqing, you think it's those people in our White Jade Capital."

Qingyu was obviously favored on weekdays, and at this time she smiled and topped a sentence, "That's not it, master, look, seven high disciples of Mount Sanqing came, but only Daoist Cheng wants to fight with swords."

Xiao Shiniang's eyes were brighter than the moonlight tonight, "Then he is naturally different."

Qingyu smiled and didn't speak again.

At the top of the Huanzhu Building, Kong Que City Lord Qian Qian Boya suddenly appeared. He brought two pots of wine and handed one to Li Brother Shanshou, saying with a smile,

"Brother Shanshou, your sword-fighting platform is out, and no one watches the fireworks in my city."

Li Brother Shanshou couldn't stand him getting the cheap and selling well, and teased: "Then I'll take the sword-fighting platform and go to Jingwei City. Do you think Yuan Yuan Xiuyong didn't invite me?"

Qian Qian Boya hurriedly accompanied him with a smile, "That can't be done, come, drink, drink."

Li Brother Shanshou smiled and took a sip of the wine pot, looking intoxicated, "Among the five cities, I like the wine of your Kong Que City the most, and the wine of the Golden Carving City. One is soft, the other is fierce, hehe, both are good, both are good."

Qian Qian Boya smiled proudly, and then pointed to the Moon Mirror, saying, "Nowadays, body sword techniques are indeed becoming more and more declining, and there are fewer people year by year."

Li Brother Shanshou shook his head, "Essence, Qi, and Spirit are one body. Body sword is in essence, magic sword is in Qi, flying sword is in spirit. It shouldn't have been divided so clearly. I have always disagreed. It's just that the general trend is like this, and I can't do anything about it. Even within the Sword Sect, it has already been divided into such factions."

"I heard that now the Hengshan who practices body swords, the Lushan who practices magic swords, and the Sword Pavilion who practices flying swords, the leading great sects among these three sword sects, the contradictions between them are becoming heavier and heavier. They often agree to fight with swords. They are really merciless when they compare, and there are often deaths and injuries. It shouldn't be like this."

However, even a sword immortal of a generation cannot fight against the general trend. There are too few people who practice all three techniques now, so he can only pinch his nose and endure his anger, fighting separately, otherwise he is afraid that he won't even be able to gather people.

And he would definitely not let people who practice all three techniques fight with swords, otherwise no matter which technique wins, it would not be good to pass it out from him.

Qian Qian Boya pointed to the one walking in the front and said, "That young man is not bad. He doesn't look old, but the timing of his shots is just right."

Li Brother Shanshou nodded, but teased him, "Why, do you want to catch a son-in-law under the stage?"

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Li Brother Shanshou said this because at the last sword-fighting meeting, it was in Haiqing City in the northeast, and an elder of the Xiao family took a fancy to a young man who performed brilliantly on the sword-fighting platform, and actually recruited him as a son-in-law after he stepped down.

Qian Qian Boya shook his head. When they reached their realm, if they didn't give birth to children when they were young, it was even more extravagant to give birth to children now.

The five great cities are all like this. Those who can become the head of the family are those who have been devoted to cultivation when they were young, and they would not break their original yang at all. After their cultivation was profound, it was naturally difficult to conceive children. So the city lords of the five great cities have never inherited the father's business. Every new city lord is promoted by the old city lord from the side branches of the clan, and the only requirement is the surname.

Perhaps this is the reason why the five great cities have been able to continue.

"Recruiting a son-in-law is not possible, but recruiting an offering or hiring a guest is still possible."

Qian Qian Boya said with a smile.

Li Brother Shanshou also nodded with a smile, but since Qian Qian Boya specifically mentioned this young man.

He waved his sleeves, and the picture in the Moon Mirror changed accordingly. The previous picture was the back of everyone climbing the steps, but now the picture suddenly enlarged, pulling close to the person in the front, looking at his front, and being able to see his face and every movement of his sword.

He held the sword-fighting meeting originally to attract young people to practice sword techniques and to make a name for young people.

People in the city and building also cheered. This is it, they want to see young talents.

In the Sea Market Restaurant, the six from Mount Sanqing, as well as the master and maid, were naturally all happy.

————

In a huge private room in the northwest area of Kong Que City, where you can see the Moon Mirror when you open the window, there are seven or eight beautiful women singing and dancing, but a young man and a middle-aged man are looking at the Moon Mirror, and only the remaining middle-aged man is watching the singing and dancing.

"It's the benefactor!"

The handsome young man suddenly stood up and pointed at the Moon Mirror and shouted.

The middle-aged man beside him was also surprised and looked at the Moon Mirror.

"Dad! Look!"

The young man saw his father still watching the singing and dancing, and couldn't help but be anxious.

The man finally reacted and looked at the Moon Mirror, with a look of surprise on his face,

"Ah! Isn't this the one from Mount Sanqing!"

————

In the southwest area of Kong Que City, on the roof of a restaurant, five young people and a big man with a beard were sitting on the eaves, looking at the Moon Mirror.

They belonged to those who rushed over temporarily after receiving the news that the Master of the Huanzhu Building was holding a sword-fighting meeting in Kong Que City. There were no seats in the restaurant, so they had to sit on the eaves.

"It's him!"

This group of young people, three women and two men, two of the women suddenly stood up and exclaimed, and the big man with a beard was also a bit surprised.

The other companions saw the two women react so strongly and were a bit surprised. One of the men asked,

"Zhou Qingyun, Li Yingqiong, why, do you know this person?"

Li Li Yingqiong didn't answer, but looked at the woman beside her and asked,

"Does Senior Sister Zhou also know this evil thief?"

And Zhou Zhou Qingyun just stared at the Moon Mirror, and didn't hear the questions of the woman beside her and her companions.
