Chapter 154 Kunlun: I Need a Sword

　　While Wei Yuan,豪迈不羁, drew his axe and chopped at Ji Xuanyuan's head,

　　In the northwest corner of the Great Wilderness, Shi Yi was diligently working on repairing the formation, personally taking up the spiritual materials and meticulously picking up a piece, his right hand gently stroking the crystal's curve to ensure every bit of spiritual energy and material was flawless.

　　Not a bit too much, not a bit too little.

　　It had to be perfect.

　　Only then would he place it safely in the broken area of the formation.

　　He planned to fix this formation and then lie in wait for that white-haired fellow every day.

　　He'd capture that guy and put him inside the formation to see if those two bloody lights would still appear.

　　The heavenly god sat cross-legged, meticulously and earnestly repairing the formation.

　　And at the foot of Wangmu Mountain, next to Xuanyuan Terrace,

　　Was the land of the renowned Three Green Birds.

　　These Three Green Birds, like the three Five-Colored Birds of the Great Wilderness, were messenger gods of the two major divine systems, and close attendants of the Heavenly Emperor Dijun and the Kunlun Queen Mother. Their strength aside, their status and position were extraordinary, and to some extent, they could almost represent Dijun and the Queen Mother of the West.

　　So even though Kunlun and the Great Wilderness didn't get along very well,

　　The Three Green Birds who remained on the western side of the Great Wilderness were safe and sound, and no one dared to commit such a heinous act in this place.

　　On the other hand, the Three Green Birds, who were comparable to the Phoenix Bird, the Royal Bird, and the Luan Bird to some extent,

　　Their strength was not to be underestimated.

　　Right now, at the foot of Xuanyuan Terrace, the Three Green Birds had transformed into three young girls in green robes, their wide sleeves fluttering, stubbornly pursing their lips, and saying, "No, this is something the Queen Mother of the West instructed. We must be satisfied with the trial-taker before we can hand it over."

　　The white-clothed girl in front of them didn't look much older than them, and her small face was also tense.

　　She reached out her hand and, under the Three Green Birds' nervous gazes, gently placed it on the head of one of the Green Birds and gently rubbed it. The expression on the girl's face slowly softened, and her tightly stretched face became like a soft dough bun.

　　"Wooheehee..."

　　The leading Green Bird looked nervous, as if facing a formidable enemy, and stammered:

　　"Shao Li, be careful... we must..."

　　She turned her head, and her voice stopped abruptly.

　　There was no one behind her.

　　The white-clothed girl in front of her stretched out her palm, her fair little hand facing upwards. One of the little Green Birds had already obediently placed her chin on the palm of her hand, her little face turning flat as she rubbed against the palm. Seeing that her two companions had fallen in an instant, the last Green Bird with a single ponytail looked nervous.

　　"Cunning, too cunning!"

　　In the entire Kunlun and the world of the *Shan Hai Jing* (Classic of Mountains and Seas), the comforting effect of warmth and maternal radiance ranked at least in the top three. Even a simple head pat possessed an unparalleled sense of security. Damn it...

　　Resist! Me!

　　This is Kunlun's last dignity!

　　It's the Queen Mother of the West and Lord Kaiming's commission. I must not fall...

　　While the little Green Bird was struggling, the white-clothed girl seemed to be lost in thought. She thought for a moment, then sat on a stone and patted her knee, still looking expressionlessly at the struggling little Green Bird, and then patted it again.

　　The little girl with the single ponytail gritted her teeth.

　　Damn it...

　　She's actually using Lord [REDACTED]'s lap pillow to lure me.

　　Too cunning...

　　While thinking this, the gaze in her eyes shifted, and the little girl lay down on the bluestone, putting her head on the girl's lap, curling up into a ball and rubbing against it.

　　Wuwuwu... Queen Mother of the West, I'm sorry, but the other party is just too cunning...

　　So reassuring that it made the bird lower its guard.

　　In the end, the three little Green Birds snuggled in the white-clothed girl's arms, receiving a rare sense of security that they hadn't felt in over a thousand years. The girl reached out her hand and gently pressed it on the girl's hair, in her hand appeared a white jade-like waist tag, inside it was the appearance of three green birds flying, in addition to this, and Wei Yuan got at Lu Wu's place the same shape of token.

　　This represented the proof of passing the third level.

　　And on the back, it was empty, as if a name could be written on it.

　　The white-clothed girl thought for a moment, kept her expression blank, and casually wrote the potter's name on it.

　　………………

　　Moments before, Wei Yuan's Xingtian Axe in his palm struck down with all its might, and Ji Xuanyuan, who had been smiling calmly, with a distant and powerful bearing, was chopped in half at the waist. The momentum of the battle axe did not diminish, and it directly smashed onto the stone tablet, the brute force causing a crack in the stone tablet.

　　Bai Ze's scalp went numb and said, "Wei Yuan, what are you doing?!"

　　Wei Yuan let out a breath of stale air and said, "I'm verifying his identity..."

　　He pointed his finger at the stone tablet in front of him and said:

　　"Look, it's obviously fake."

　　"Personally passed down by Da Yu."

　　"Remarkable effect!"

　　Bai Ze was dumbfounded.

　　"But, but what if you guessed wrong?"

　　Wei Yuan pondered and said, "Look, if it were the real Xuanyuan Huangdi, then my axe definitely wouldn't be able to do anything to him, but if he can't even withstand my axe, then he definitely can't be Emperor Xuanyuan. The logic is reasonable, and most importantly, Bai Ze, think carefully, is Xuanyuan Huangdi this kind of person?!"

　　"As far as I know, he, King Yu, they all have the same personality."

　　"So Xuanyuan Di had the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and Feng Hou by his side, and Yu had Qi by his side."

　　"These two people absolutely hate mystifying charlatans the most."

　　Wei Yuan paused and said faintly, "A macho man who habitually carries the Xuanyuan Sword and the Huang Yue (ceremonial axe) to chop people himself, a man who hates charlatans the most in his life, suddenly puts on an act of standing with his hands behind his back, unfathomable, in front of you, is that possible?"

　　If you want to make an analogy, it's like Yu suddenly being like Qi one day.

　　With a lazy and peaceful look, he raised his head to look at the stars, saying something like the stars are in my control.

　　Extending his fingers to divine.

　　Wei Yuan just felt goosebumps all over his body just thinking about it.

　　He couldn't wait to bury Yu on the spot to calm himself down.

　　Of course, there was another reason. In that unbearable special training in the dream, although it was said to be Xingtian's battle memory, it was also an extremely vivid and real phantom. Therefore, Wei Yuan knew Xuanyuan and Chi You's temperament very well.

　　The Xuanyuan inside was an unparalleled macho man who could stand on the chariot when he was having a good time fighting, directly throw the Xuanyuan Sword, carry the long-handled axe called Huang Yue, and chop at Wei Yuan's little head while laughing heartily.

　　Thinking about Xuanyuan in front, Xingtian behind, and Chi You next to him.

　　A real ancient Three-Axe Formation.

　　The upgraded version of the Three Sheep Bring Bliss Formation.

　　The Three Axes Chop Yuan Formation.

　　Wei was not sure how many times he had drunk his hatred.

　　Now he finally did what he wanted to do but had never been able to do.

　　He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

　　So comfortable...

　　The real Xuanyuan can't fight, and he doesn't dare to fight, but can't he beat the fake one?!

　　I'm beating you.

　　Bai Ze had previously ignored these things in a fit of anxiety because he was too concerned about Xuanyuan's identity. Now, how could he not figure it out? That valiant young man who often laughed heartily would not put on airs even when he was the Emperor of humanity.

　　As the king of humans, he shared joy with the people, laughed heartily when he should laugh, stood at the front when there was danger, and lived and died as a human being in an extremely distinct way. He could not be like those gods, standing with his hands behind his back and pretending to be profound.

　　If he really did that, he would admit his bad luck even if he was beaten black and blue.

　　Not Xuanyuan, so is this the guy who put Nüba into this forbidden place?

　　A fierce glint appeared in Bai Ze's eyes.

　　The 'Ji Xuanyuan' who had been chopped in half by Wei Yuan reappeared, his eyes fixed on Wei Yuan, and said, "...Consider yourself smart... However, I really have something to cooperate with you. You who were once brought up the mountain by the Kunlun Gods, why bother for these lofty gods..."

　　Before the voice could fall, the second axe directly smashed down.

　　Amidst the roaring sound, cracks reappeared on the stone tablet. Wei Yuan said, "You're just a sneaky guy."

　　"How dare you talk nonsense here?"

　　Wei Yuan's Xingtian Axe relentlessly chopped down repeatedly. He had experienced so many lifetimes, and no matter how innocent his personality was, he knew that at this time, not even a punctuation mark of what the enemy said could be believed.

　　That figure's face changed slightly, and he merged with the stone tablet, angrily saying:

　　"If you don't retreat, you will regret it!"

　　Wei Yuan's last axe slashed out violently, and what erupted was no longer the heavy and deep sound of the battle axe, but an unparalleled sharpness and vigor, heavily slashing down. The stone tablet was directly cut off, the dust settled, and Wei Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air: "...Nüba and Yinglong helped the human race fight fiercely. If I listened to you and let Nüba suffer,"

　　"That would be called regret."

　　"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring."

　　Wei Yuan put away the battle axe.

　　Bai Ze was dumbfounded. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "What is this that you're doing?"

　　"Strictly speaking, it's a self-created swordsmanship."

　　"What are you holding?"

　　"The Xingtian Axe."

　　Bai Ze was speechless: "You're using the Xingtian Axe to perform swordsmanship?"

　　Wei Yuan pondered and said solemnly:

　　"The sword, is it such an inconvenient thing?"

　　Bai Ze: "............"

　　You're holding the Xingtian Axe, you're right.

　　"However, isn't your technique a little too skilled? This is the Hetu Luoshu..."

　　Wei Yuan jokingly replied, "This Hetu Luoshu, I was a little worried at first, but after you chop it a few times, it becomes easy. Now that the formation has been broken, let's go see how Nüba is doing..."

　　Before his voice could fall, the original Nine Heavens Gate mark on the back of Wei Yuan's right hand slowly lit up. The third level had been completed. He only needed to return to the human world and obtain the approval of the Queen Mother of the West to achieve the position of the Lord of Kunlun Mountain in the human world.

　　Bai Ze was dumbfounded: "This, you got it so quickly?"

　　Wei Yuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

　　He was still a little worried about the price that the Hetu Luoshu had mentioned.

　　After completing the trial and leaving the Great Wilderness, what was there to fear?

　　The museum owner was greatly relieved.

　　………………

　　At this moment, at the Southern Abyss of Kunlun.

　　The Kaiming Beast, who was chatting with Zhu Jiuyin, suddenly paused slightly and raised his eyes slightly, a hint of incredulity in his eyes.

　　Zhu Jiuyin felt the strangeness in the next moment, raised his head, and saw the Kunlun Jade Tablet emitting a great light, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

　　He was just habitually betting against the Kaiming Beast, and he had always disliked this heavenly god who pretended to be profound.

　　He didn't have much expectation that Wei Yuan could pass the level.

　　But he didn't expect that Wei Yuan would actually pass the level?

　　Kua Fu couldn't help but be happy for Wei Yuan and laughed, praising, "Your Majesty Zhu Jiuyin, was this also within your expectations?"

　　The gray-clothed man's eyes concealed his surprise, and when he heard this, his expression did not change. His eyes were ancient, and he said calmly:

　　"Acceptable."

　　His temperament was perfectly grasped.

　　The Kaiming Beast's face was surprised, but then it did not change its color, and it sighed with a smile: "It seems that I miscalculated this time. Well, well, I will keep my promise and see what will be displayed on this jade tablet. Is it Yuan, or Wei Yuan, or Tushan Yuan?"

　　He flicked his sleeve, and the Kunlun Jade Tablet emerged.

　　At the same time, in the human world, Kunlun Mountain.

　　The Kunlun of the Western Mountain Realm.

　　The Kunlun Mountains of the overseas realms.

　　Even the gods of the Great Wilderness who were paying attention to this matter turned their attention to the jade tablet.

　　The Great Wilderness was considering whether to maintain a good relationship with this new Lord of Kunlun Mountain in the human world, curious as to who this person was, while the Kunlun gods were quite happy. After all, in any case, this meant that they had one more powerful companion. All the gods were paying attention to the new master of Kunlun in the human world.

　　On the jade tablet, the name of the third level slowly emerged.

　　But just as the two characters for 'human' appeared, for some unknown reason, that line of names suddenly turned into a blur, invisible to the eye, unseen by sight, and forgotten in an instant, as if the existence writing this name directly interfered with the display of the jade tablet.

　　Then, while everyone was surprised, the jade tablet, which had only been displaying names, suddenly emitted a great light, and then a series of pictures emerged. Lu Yi was stunned, and the Kaiming Beast was also surprised in his heart, and he looked down.

　　In the picture, you could vaguely see the back of a white-haired man in a green shirt, standing with his hands behind his back, and in front of him was Kunlun.

　　The gods had some thoughts in their hearts. Was this the new Lord of Kunlun Mountain in the human world?

　　This picture is... the future? A picture of becoming a god of Kunlun?

　　Then, a cold voice came from the picture.

　　"I need a sword."
