This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1607 - 57: The 69 Heavenly Tribulation

In the history of the Human Race, the Ninth Tribulation Realm has never been reached by any cultivator.

First, because it's too difficult, and second, because it's unnecessary.

It's like being able to attend Tsinghua or Peking University with a score of 700, and then going on to study more profound knowledge; no one would choose to repeat a year just to reach an elusive score of 750.

Throughout the cultivator system, only the sword cultivators, who need to forge their own path, have gone the farthest in the Tribulation Crossing realm and are most likely to touch upon the Ninth Tribulation Realm.

But it's important to note that even with the talent of someone like Li Qiubai, he only stopped at the Eight Tribulation Realm, ascending to the Sword Immortal Realm.

It's such a "priceless yet unattainable" Ninth Tribulation Realm, yet the message conveyed in Chu Mu's myth is that Lu Qingshan will definitely reach it, completing this unprecedented achievement.

Chu Mu's confidence source is simple — without cultivating to the Ninth Tribulation Realm, how can one fight against the heavens?

Lu Qingshan didn't feign humility, he simply agreed straightforwardly.

The two of them share a mutual confidence in this matter.

......

Cang Xiu gazes down at the vast land below.

This was originally a vast and expansive snowfield, vast in territory but sparsely populated, with signs of desolation.

However, on this extremely cold snowfield, there exists such a clear and beautiful place, with mountain ranges stretching continuously, ancient trees towering, and spiritual energy extraordinarily abundant, like a paradise beyond the world.

Such contrast makes this place appear even more magnificent and spirited.

On the main peak at the center of the mountains, there is a silver waterfall; even though it is located in an extremely cold place, it doesn't freeze and falls straight into the cold pond below, cold air spreading, making the area full of mist. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Cold water, one of the most indispensable raw materials for artifact refiners.

His gaze shifts again, and he can see a more magnificent mountain range nearby, like a sleeping dragon lying on the snowfield, always shrouded in clouds and mist, indistinct.

"That is the Inverted Mountains of the Sword Sect," Lu Qingshan, alongside Zang Xiaojian, who was also blinking large eyes filled with curiosity as he gazed at the Inverted Mountains, introduced.

"Patriarch Zang, from now on, this mountain range will belong to you," Lu Qingshan said to Cang Xiu, pointing to the mountains below.

This mountain range is part of the Flying Peak system, adjacent to the Sword Sect's Inverted Mountains, long regarded as the Sword Sect's private reserve, undeveloped, a treasured land.

Cang Xiu took a deep breath, nodding slightly.

Compared to Lingye Island, the spiritual energy that seemed so abundant to others in the Flying Peak system still appeared thin, and the resources were not rich enough.

Yet he was not disappointed at all, maintaining a peaceful mindset.

Because Lu Qingshan gave him a Cloud-patterned Primordial Stone.

With the Cloud-patterned Primordial Stone and skilled swordsmiths, they would eventually develop the Flying Peak, even surpassing the prosperity and abundance of Lingye Island.

Cang Xiu, who had been laid-back for many years, suddenly felt a sense of starting from scratch, with a feeling of drive and determination in his heart.

He wanted to elevate the Zang family similarly in the Sky Dome Heaven, becoming the foremost place for human sword cultivation, a place all sword cultivators aspire to.

Behind Cang Xiu were thousands of Lingye Island cultivators and numerous demon beasts that were once raised on Lingye Island.

This time, the Lingye Island cultivators took with them everything they could, leaving only an empty Lingye Island to the Demon Race.

"This will be the new foothold for our Lingye Island lineage," Cang Xiu declared loudly, "Let's work together to transform this place, organize pastures and medicinal gardens; I will go and select the location for the Cloud-patterned mineral vein."

Being uprooted, the Lingye Island cultivators felt somewhat sad, so Cang Xiu shared the news about the Cloud-patterned Primordial Stone with all the swordsmith families on the island to boost morale.

Under Cang Xiu's instructions, streams of spiritual light flew out, busying themselves within the Flying Peak system.

Ming Yu, with a smile on her lips, followed along, directing the cultivators in the arrangement.

But this was the Zang family's matter, and Lu Qingshan, being sensible, did not plan to get involved, intending to bid farewell and return to Yumen Pass.

An expected stay of one month, or half a month, in Heavenly River City was extended to half a year due to these unexpected matters.

Given his current status and position as the Sword Sect's Sect Master and Yumen Pass's ruler, it was not appropriate for him to stay away from Yumen Pass for too long — just like an emperor in the mundane world whose prolonged absence from the Imperial Palace would certainly have undesirable effects.

Fortunately, the three masters' challenge resulted in defeats at the hands of Yu Canghai, Xue Wujian, and Xia Daoyun, with severe injuries needing time to recover, preventing short-term conflict; otherwise, Lu Qingshan wouldn't dare be so "indulgent."

"Sect Master Lu, once the matters here are settled, I'll personally lead people to Yumen Pass," Cang Xiu solemnly promised Lu Qingshan.

Guarding Yumen Pass is the shared responsibility of all cultivator sects and families in the Eastern Domain.

Since the Zang family chose to settle on Lingye Island, they naturally had to undertake the corresponding responsibility.

Zang Xiaojian's eyes, however, revolved quickly, clearly having some idea.

Sure enough.

"Dad, our Zang family received such significant care from the Sword Sect upon arriving in the Eastern Domain; it stands to reason that we should head to Yumen Pass as soon as possible instead of just focusing on development here," Zang Xiaojian said with a smile. "I also know that a lofty building starts from the ground. If things aren't arranged properly during initial construction, it might take a hundredfold effort to remedy later. Dad must oversee things here for peace of mind.

However, since I can't be of much help staying here, how about I 'serve in place of my father' and head to Yumen Pass first on your behalf?"
