This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 540: Chapter 41: Then I Must Win Against Him_3

Lu Qingshan nodded.

“The master of Sword Coming Peak is not only a person of Great Xia, but also the direct descendant of Great Xia with the Ancestral Taoist Bloodline, the only offspring of Xia Xuanji.” The Daoist of Kong Shan unveiled the answer, his words heavy as rocks, stirring up a thousand waves.

“Didn’t the master just say that Xia Xuanji did not father any offspring until the time of his death?” Lu Qingshan frowned.

“That’s what Xia Xuanji believed, but in fact, a year before his death, his Dao Companion was already pregnant,” the Daoist of Kong Shan spread out his hands.

“That doesn’t make sense, with the transcendent cultivation of the Ninth Realm of the Great Xia king, how could he not have noticed his Dao Companion’s pregnancy?” Lu Qingshan shook his head.

“This is the issue of your master’s physical constitution,”

“Physical constitution?”

“Your master has the Ancestral Taoist Bloodline, which is that legendary Donghua Immortal Body talked about in the rumors,”

“Donghua initiates the five glories, divine light revitalizes the seven spirits. Shades the three Sifei candles, freely roaming from Qi to Ming,” the Daoist of Kong Shan explained, “A person with this immortal body, at the stage of being a fetus, starts as a clump of spirit blood.

Only after absorbing enough Innate Purple Qi to initiate the five glories and revitalize the seven spirits, does it then develop life force.

At the time, who could expect a mere clump of spirit blood, which was the master of Sword Coming Peak, to be a life? So neither the Great Xia king nor anyone else thought of it.”

As it turns out, Xia Daoyun’s second Legendary Talent, aside from “One Sword Frost Cold,” was the “Donghua Immortal Body.”

Lu Qingshan seemed to be deep in thought.

“Here lies the problem, if the master of Sword Coming Peak were born, then who would the throne of Great Xia king fall to in time? This is something no one can reconcile.”

“At that time, the three collateral lines were scheming to snatch the throne from Xia Zhao’s hands while plotting to eliminate the master of Sword Coming Peak, who still was a fetus, to erase the threat.”

Lu Qingshan remained silent.

Is it cruel? It’s very cruel, but that is the reality.

Even for the sake of a piece of bread, people can turn against each other; what’s so extraordinary about persecuting an unborn fetus for the throne of Great Xia?

“With the three collateral lines taking action together, the queen of Great Xia could hardly defend against them.

In the end, her life essence was depleted, nearly a death that would take two lives,” spoke the Daoist of Kong Shan leisurely, “Fortunately, Xia Zhao had gratitude for the Great Xia king’s kindness and, despite her own difficult situation, she reached out to help, invoking the name of Ancestral Daoist Xia, which finally deterred those bloodthirsty cultivators from the three lines.

After all, Ancestral Daoist Xia was only in secluded cultivation, not dead; who knows, he might emerge any day, and if he found out they had persecuted his own blood, who could bear the responsibility?”

“Though the persecution stopped, the life essence of the queen of Great Xia was irretrievably depleted, and in that state, the birth of the master of Sword Coming Peak was highly likely to result in a death of both mother and child.

Therefore, Xia Zhao, together with the Heavenly Secret Pavillion, sealed the life force of the fetus inside the queen of Great Xia, and sent her into the Sky-Mending Spirit Formation for a thousand years to heal her injuries.”

“A thousand years later, the queen of Great Xia whose life essence had recovered, gave birth to the only offspring of the Great Xia king, your master,” the Daoist of Kong Shan looked at Lu Qingshan, “Xia Daoyun.”

“As the sole offspring of the Great Xia king, the master of Sword Coming Peak is the most legitimate successor to the throne.

Once Xia Zhao steps down, it would be righteous and proper for your master to take the position,” the Daoist of Kong Shan said with a hint of mockery, “the three collateral lines have long considered the throne of Great Xia as theirs for the taking.

They have no way to deal with Xia Zhao and can only wait for her to die before they fight over the throne of Great Xia.

The existence of your master is the biggest obstacle for them.”

“That is why the three collateral lines see your master as a thorn in their side, trying every means to suppress the master of Sword Coming Peak.”

“In such an environment, your master had endless trouble.

To avoid misfortune, and also because of your master’s world-shocking talent in the Sword Dao, the queen of Great Xia sent your master to the Sword Sect to learn swordsmanship from the old Sect Master.”

“As for the mastermind behind Marquis Luotang, it is the legitimate daughter of the secondary branch’s Family Head, Xia Daojing,”

The cultivator Kong Shan said, “With your master’s talents, having already entered the Eighth Realm, a great momentum has been established.

If Xia Zhao abdicates, the ascension of the Peak Master of Sword Coming Peak is virtually a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, the three offshoot branches are currently trying by all means to suppress your master’s reputation and influence.”

Lu Qingshan is fully aware of everything.

….

After inquiring about his master’s situation, Lu Qingshan leapt back to the peak.

Sword Coming Peak was as tranquil as ever.

While he was still immersed in the origins of Xia Daoyun, pondering deeply, suddenly, a resonant female voice reached his ears.

“Since you have ended your seclusion, come visit me in my building.”

It was Xia Daoyun.

Lu Qingshan’s mind steadied, and he hurriedly made his way into his master’s bamboo building, although his thoughts had taken countless turns in that brief period.

The bamboo building was secluded and tranquil, with a gentle breeze carrying a subtle fragrance slowly wafting through.

As Lu Qingshan entered the building and saw Xia Daoyun seated in the place of honor, he quickly greeted her, “Master.”

Xia Daoyun was silent for a moment before she spoke to Lu Qingshan, “I will accompany you on this trip to the Central Heavenly Realm.”

After a pause, Xia Daoyun softly added, “It just so happens I also have matters to attend to in the Central Heavenly Realm.”

Lu Qingshan was a bit surprised but immediately responded, “Thank you, Master.”

Whether it was along the way or a special trip, Xia Daoyun’s intention was clear, which was to ensure that no one would dare to bully him when he was on someone else’s territory by personally accompanying him, to stand in his corner.

“Then it’s settled,” Xia Daoyun said.

“Master, then I shall take my leave,” said Lu Qingshan, who was keen to take leave respectfully.

Xia Daoyun gave a slight nod of her head.

Lu Qingshan turned to leave, and after just a couple of steps, he heard Xia Daoyun’s voice coming from behind, “With the Sword Sect behind us, it was entirely possible to ignore Marquis Luotang’s unreasonable demands. Why would you still agree to such an absurd invitation?”

The request put forward by Marquis Luotang was obviously unreasonable.

And with the Sword Sect behind Lu Qingshan, he had the full confidence to refuse Marquis Luotang’s proposal.

“Since Marquis Luotang provoked and displeased you on behalf of Xia Daojing,” Lu Qingshan turned around, looked at Xia Daoyun with a smile, and said, “then I’ll properly teach him a lesson on your behalf, Master, so that you can feel a bit happier.”

Xia Daoyun raised her eyebrows in surprise and then gave Lu Qingshan a sidelong glance, her eyes tranquil as autumn waters.

“Luo Yi has a much higher cultivation than you, are you confident?” she paused and then asked unperturbedly.

“Does Master wish for me to win?” Lu Qingshan asked in return.

“…Of course,” Xia Daoyun rested her right hand on her cheek, gazing intently at Lu Qingshan, and blinked.

“Then I…” Lu Qingshan gazed straight into Xia Daoyun’s phoenix eyes and said softly.

“Will surely win against him.”
