Xu Fengnian, Jian Jiuhuang, and the others could sense the immense pain Li Chungang had endured back then, a pain that seemed to tear their hearts and lungs apart, simply from this aura.
This made them even more curious about the woman's identity.
On that platform made of white jade.
Su Chen took a sip of tea, ignoring whether the surrounding chatter had ended, and spoke directly:
"That woman's name is Green Robe."
"She was Fengdu Green Robe, one of the four grandmasters of Liyang Martial Arts, and also the number one villain in the martial arts world."
"But no one knows that the original Green Robe was actually just an innocent and carefree little girl."
"Like other girls, she was captivated by Li Chungang's charm and became one of his many admirers."
"But at that time, Li Chungang had lofty ambitions and was single-mindedly focused on climbing to the top of swordsmanship. He never paid any attention to the women who were infatuated with him."
"In order to attract Li Chungang's attention, she, who had no martial arts background, began to cultivate and even joined the Demonic Sect, which had the fastest cultivation speed."
"Unexpectedly, with her exceptional talent, she became the number one master of the Demonic Sect and the number one demon in the martial arts world, known as the Green Robe of Fengdu."
"When Li Yang first appeared on the list of the Four Grandmasters of Martial Arts, she was ranked alongside Li Chungang."
"This renowned master of the demonic sect finally caught Li Chungang's attention, and he agreed to accept her challenge."
"But what Li Chungang didn't expect was that Green Robe deliberately held back during the fight, allowing him to pierce his heart with a single sword strike."
"At that moment, Green Robe finally fell into Li Chungang's arms as he had wished."
"She finally had the chance to reveal the secret she had kept hidden in her heart."
"She had admired Li Chungang for many years. From the moment Li Chungang flew across the river on his sword, her heart was captured by him."
"But she also hated Li Chungang for many years, ever since she learned that Li Chungang was the one who killed her father."
"It was this hatred that drove her to desperately become stronger."
"But when she actually faced Li Chungang, she realized that her love for him far outweighed her hatred."
"She would rather die in Li Chungang's arms than kill him."
"At this moment, Li Chungang, who had only ever loved swords in his life, was moved. He fell in love with the green-robed girl, the woman whose heart he had pierced with his sword."
"So Li Chungang carried the severely injured and dying Green Robe on his back and came all the way to Longhu Mountain to seek a life-saving elixir."
"Everyone knows what happened next."
"Although Qi Xuanzhen defeated Li Chungang, he still gave him the Golden Core."
"But by then, Green Robe had already passed away, and the Golden Elixir ultimately failed to revive her."
"On that very day, Li Chungang lost both his beloved woman and his invincible reputation, and his cultivation level plummeted."
"When he reached the foot of the mountain, his strength was less than one-tenth of what it was at its peak."
“Sui Xiegu saw this, which is why he was eager to fight Li Chungang.”
"Because he knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would never see Li Chungang, who was above the Earth Immortal realm, again."
"The facts are just as Sui Xiegu predicted."
"After each of them lost an arm, Li Chungang's cultivation level dropped directly from the Land Immortal Realm."
"From this day forward, Li Chungang will never exist again."
"Disheartened, Li Chungang took Green Robe's body to Fengdu, Green Robe's hometown."
"He built a grave for Green Robe there and became the grave keeper, only wanting to spend the rest of his life in the desolate Fengdu Mountain."
"As time went by, Fengdu Mountain was renamed Qingliang Mountain."
"After Xu Xiaoma conquered the world, he was enfeoffed as the King of Beiliang, and the capital of his fiefdom was located in Qingliang Mountain."
"So Xu Xiao invited the one-armed old swordsman Li Chungang to come down the mountain and stay at Tingchao Pavilion."
"He imprisoned himself in Tingchao Pavilion and stayed there for twenty years."
As Su Chen finished speaking, the hall erupted in excitement once again.
The heroes of Liyang were naturally very familiar with this name.
Over the past century, only a handful of women have been able to occupy a top position in the martial arts world, and Green Robe is one of them.
The Green Robe of Fengdu was once a terrifying figure. He appeared with the cultivation level of the Divine Realm, swept across the martial world, and directly ascended to the throne of the number one demon in the martial world.
In the stories circulating in the martial arts world, Green Robe has always been an extremely fierce and ruthless villain.
But only now do they realize that beneath the green robe lies a tender and gentle side.
She was originally just an ordinary girl.
She entered the martial arts world because she loved Li Chungang, completely broke down after her father's death, and ultimately perished because of her love for Li Chungang.
It's hard to associate such a deeply affectionate woman with the Green Robe of Fengdu.
What shocked the martial arts world the most was that Su Chen's words revealed Li Chungang's whereabouts.
Li Chungang, who single-handedly ventured into Liyang sixty years ago, creating a golden age of swordsmanship and was hailed as a swordsmanship prodigy unseen for five hundred years, is now hiding in the Beiliang Prince's Mansion!
This news was truly earth-shattering.
Given Li Chungang's influence in the Liyang Dynasty, once the news spreads, countless swordsmen will surely come to pay their respects.
At the same time, many masters who want to make a name for themselves will come to challenge them.
The Li Chungang of today is not the same person he was back then.
He used to be invincible, but now that he has fallen out of the realm of a terrestrial immortal, he may not be unable to defeat him.
Thinking of this, many heroes of the martial arts world couldn't help but feel a burning fire in their eyes.
If we could defeat Li Chungang head-on, our prestige would be immense.
In the second private room on the south side of the fourteenth floor.
After hearing these words, Xu Fengnian had no more doubts and immediately stood up and bowed, saying:
"This humble one, Xu Fengnian, pays his respects to the old Sword God. I have offended you in the past, and I beg you to be magnanimous."
Chapter 55 The Realms of Immortality
Li Chungang picked up a peanut and chewed on it, then said with a smile, "It's alright. I promised Xu Xiao I'd protect your life, and I'll keep my word."
Ning Emei frowned and said, "Now that the news of the old sword god has spread, many people are watching our private room. After all, many people saw the old sword god come in just now."
"Let them see. The name Li Chungang is not as simple as they think."
Li Chungang said confidently.
Sensing Li Chungang's mental state, Jian Jiuhuang couldn't help but exclaim with delight, "The old sword god's sword heart has been restored. I look forward to the day when the old sword god returns to his peak."
Xu Fengnian also showed a joyful expression.
Li Chungang reached the Land Celestial Realm in just twenty years; if he were to return to his peak, his speed would only be even faster.
If Li Chungang can reach the Land Celestial Realm again, it will be of great significance to him and the entire Beiliang, even more important than a million-strong army!
Su Chen gently waved his folding fan, and waited until everyone had finished discussing before slowly speaking:
"Next, let's talk about the next sword immortal."
"Thirteenth on the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking, Desolate Sword Swallow Flying."
"This person comes from the Jianghu of the Sui Dynasty, but I'm afraid even the heroes of the Sui Dynasty don't know him very well."
"That's normal, because he and Li Changsheng of Beili are both immortals who cultivate immortality through cultivation methods."
"He has lived for more than two hundred years now, and retired from the martial arts world a hundred years ago."
"Unlike Li Changsheng,"
"He did not obtain immortal secrets and then create his own method of cultivation."
"Instead, through a series of coincidences, he obtained the true teachings of an ancient immortal cultivation sect."
"A thousand years ago, there was a cultivation sect in the Great Sui Dynasty called the Immortal Sword Sect, which was powerful for a time."
"But later, due to a major upheaval, the Immortal Sword Sect was destroyed."
"One of the two great inheritances, the cultivation method called 'Golden Elixir Technique,' was sealed within a pill tribulation."
"Another top-level sword technique, the Immortal Sword Manual, is hidden in three strange jade pendants, which are called the 'Heaven,' 'Earth,' and 'Heart' pendants respectively."
"Over the course of a thousand years, many people have obtained these treasures, but none have been able to decipher their mysteries."
"Until two hundred years ago, Yan Fei had a series of good fortunes. First, he successfully dealt with the Pill Tribulation and completed the most crucial 100-day Foundation Building for cultivators. Then, he collected the three jade pendants: Heaven, Earth, and Heart."
"And so, the two most treasured artifacts of the Immortal Sword Sect from a thousand years ago fell into Yan Fei's hands."
"Although he went through many hardships in the process, his achievements show that he was very lucky, almost like a child of destiny."
"In terms of talent and ability alone, Yan Fei is no match for Lang Fanyun and Dugu Qiubai."
"But he relied on the cultivation manual 'Golden Elixir Manual' and cultivated diligently for two hundred years. Now he is a top expert among the terrestrial immortals."
"There is also the Immortal Gate Sword Manual. This top-level sword technique was created based on the scene of the sword opening the Heavenly Gate. The power of the final move, 'Great Three Combinations,' is in no way inferior to Li Chungang's 'One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate.'"
Although Yan Fei had not yet reached that profound level, he could barely use the "Minor Three Harmonies" sword technique with the help of the three jade pendants, and its power was astonishing.
Therefore, Yan Fei's ranking is higher than that of Dugu Qiubai and Lang Fanyun.
Furthermore, the transition from a terrestrial immortal to a half-step terrestrial celestial being is an extremely difficult hurdle to overcome.
Therefore, many sword immortals are now stuck at the peak of the terrestrial immortal realm.
Although Yan Fei is only ranked thirteenth, his strength is almost the same as that of Li Changsheng, who is ranked tenth, with very little difference.
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, a chorus of exclamations erupted in the hall.
Another immortal!
Moreover, he is an immortal cultivator who attained immortality through cultivation methods!
All the martial arts practitioners involuntarily widened their eyes, their gazes filled with envy and longing.
It now seems that cultivating immortality is the best way to achieve longevity, and one can truly gain great freedom and ease.
