Chapter 36: The Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The entire Yuhua Sect was discussing whether Wu Shaobai was still alive.

Was he still in the Yuhua Sect?

Was the sword that split the heavens and the earth apart unleashed by him?

Everyone was debating this.

Everyone was excited.

The disciples of the Heavenly Path Sect were completely annihilated.

Elder Tian Qingzi, whom the Heavenly Path Sect had high hopes for, was instantly killed by the sword.

The Heavenly Path Sect spy, who was hiding among the members of the Yuhua Sect, immediately sent out this news.

In the outside world, this sword of the Yuhua Sect was stirring up storms of discussion.

Yet, the originator of this sword, Li Qingshan, was casually and comfortably bringing back dozens of books to Repentance Cliff.

No matter how the others speculated, they would never imagine that it was him.

Even if someone suspected that he could still cultivate, they definitely would not have imagined that his cultivation had reached such a stage in just a few short years.

Before his cultivation was crippled, Li Qingshan was merely at the Ascension

Plane.

Hence, no one suspected him.

He could continue cultivating peacefully and in secret on Repentance Cliff.

No matter what storm was stirred up in the outside world, he was naturally unperturbed.

As long as nothing happened to the Yuhua Sect, Repentance Cliff would be fine.

When Li Qingshan returned to Repentance Cliff, Little Fox immediately came running over. She asked, “Where did you go?”

She was somewhat angry. He had actually gone to the outside world without bringing her along.

“I went to bring some books back. Do you want to take a look at them?” asked Li Qingshan as he offered the dozens of books in his arms to Little Fox for her to peruse.

Little Fox left his side immediately without showing any expression.

She had inherited her mother’s memory. So why would she spend time reading books?

Li Qingshan smiled. After spending a few years with Little Fox, he had a good grasp on her temper.

Upon returning to the bamboo hut, he made himself a pot of tea and lit some incense to relax.

Then, he lay down in his rocking chair, took up a book, and silently opened it.

The entire Library had millions of books and manuscripts. There were books on astronomy, geography, cultivation methods, historical figures, unofficial biographies, and countless other genres.

However, there were very few records of the war 3,000 years ago.

Li Qingshan searched through the entire Library and only managed to find a few dozen books about the war.

The book he was currently reading was written by an elder of the Yuhua Sect 3,000 years ago.

This elder was one of the survivors of the Yuhua Sect from back then.

Unfortunately, he became a lunatic even though he had survived.

Therefore, many people sneered in disdain when his book was first published. Could the words of a crazy elder be trusted?

Li Qingshan carefully studied the book.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The contents of this book were all over the place and unclear. Most of the time, it was as though they were mere ramblings or off-topic statements.

If he were not seeking the truth about the events back then, he would not have continued reading past the first page.

He forced himself to finish reading the book.

After he finished reading, his first reaction was that what people said was true.

The elder who wrote this book had indeed gone insane.

His speech was disorganized and devoid of logic. He jumped from one topic to another abruptly and went on and on without a clear focus. Then, somehow, he ended up talking about the war again.

The most memorable part of the book for Li Qingshan was the last few lines written by the elder:

“To satisfy his personal gain, a selfish person put into action a plan to deceive others and stirred up a great war. His actions affected the entire cultivation world.

“Such a person should be chopped to death.

“All the cultivators in the future will suffer because of his actions.

“He has also inflicted great pain on this generation!”

Li Qingshan convinced himself to overlook the fact that the contents of this book were mainly disorganized and illogical. He believed that those were all unimportant parts. He saw hope in these last few lines.

After putting down the book, he took up another one.

This book contained writings on how the world order was reestablished after the war.

After he finished reading it carefully, he had a clear understanding of the current status quo.

Back then, the top righteous sect, the Yuhua Sect, suffered heavy losses. They no longer had the ability to maintain their top status. Hence, they sealed themselves away in the mountains for 80 years. They did not interact much with the outside world as they worked hard to cultivate the talents of their sect.

It was within these 80 years that the Heavenly Path Sect rapidly rose up, surpassing all other sects. They immediately declared their dominance with a show of force, seizing the title of the top righteous sect.

With the sect leader and countless elders tragically dead, the power of the Yuhua Sect dropped drastically. As a result, they could not compete for the title of top righteous sect against the Heavenly Path Sect. Hence, they chose to lie dormant.

However, the Heavenly Path Sect gained more and more influence. Their authority grew greater.

The Yuhua Sect never had a chance to overtake them.

According to this book, the Heavenly Path Sect was just newly established 3,000 years ago. Therefore, they were not worth mentioning.

Li Qingshan mumbled, “Back then, the Yuhua Sect was strong and was the leader of the righteous sects. During the war, they led the way and needed to protect their title. Their sect leader, elders, and exceptional disciples swarmed out, and eventually, they suffered great losses in the war. The disciples lost their lives one by one. Even the original manuscript of the Immortality Method was torn apart, leaving behind remnants.”

With a book in one hand and a teacup in the other, he sipped tea while pondering the contents of the books.

There was little valuable content in each book. Most of the time, the writers were babbling about unimportant matters.

Li Qingshan read the remaining few dozen books.

He acquired more and more information about the war.

He mumbled as he summarized, “The war 3,000 years ago began suddenly without prior notice. As the leader of the righteous sects, the Yuhua Sect was the hope of many people, and they went all out in the war.

“The result of that war was tragic.

“Not only did the righteous sects suffer a significant loss, but even the top masters from the Demonic sects who joined the battle perished.

“Nevertheless, there were countless geniuses who rose to the spotlight during the war 3,000 years ago. The most outstanding genius was the cultivator who was called the Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar.

After reading so many books, Li Qingshan had only gathered this much information.

His brow furrowed.

“Why do I feel like someone has purposely erased the consequences brought forth by the war?” Li Qingshan muttered dubiously.

No matter how terrible the past was, other sects would still keep some records of its history.

However, he only managed to find these few dozen books after combing through the Yuhua Sect’s Library.

Moreover, most of the content in these books was insignificant. There were only a few lines worth pondering.

He could not help but suspect that, after the war, someone had quietly destroyed the books and various manuscripts that recorded the events of the war.

Otherwise, with the Yuhua Sect claiming that their chain of inheritance was unbroken, there should have been detailed records of the war 3,000 years ago.

Presently, scraps of information had to be sought out from different manuscripts.

“After flipping through all these books, I have only come across one clear name.”

“The Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar!”

Li Qingshan wanted to find out who this person was. What had this person achieved?

Unfortunately, he came up empty-handed.

“I have been flipping through manuscripts for so long. I should go out and relax a bit,” said Li Qingshan as he looked up at the world outside. The moon was already high in the sky. He had been reading the whole day. Finally, feeling tired, he put down the book he was reading and walked out of the bamboo hut and into the Stele Forest.

He wanted to go clean the steles and comprehend techniques.

This was his way of relaxing.

He could improve himself as well as purge himself of all stray thoughts.

He walked deep into the Stele Forest. After a long walk, he saw new steles he had never seen before.

He chose a stele, sat before it, and used his hands to clean it.

Li Qingshan saw a shadowy figure on the stele. The figure was slender and charismatic. He looked up at the sky with his hands behind him.

Of course, the outline of the figure looked somewhat blurry after the stele had been weathered by sun and rain for so many years. However, Li Qingshan could still vaguely make out that a majestic figure had been carved onto this stele in the past.

“What is stored in this stele?” he wondered. He sat cross-legged in front of it immediately. He comprehended the stele seriously.

[You cleaned the stele diligently and activated your maxed-level comprehension skill. You have now comprehended Heaven Slicing Sword Technique of the Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar.]

Li Qingshan opened his eyes in surprise.

He had just read about the Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar.

Immediately after, he found the stele of the Sword God in the Stele Forest.

Fate and destiny worked in miraculous ways..
