Chapter 556 Qingping Sword
Yunxiao walked along the familiar path toward the location of the Tongtian Sect Leader. Along the way, the surrounding spiritual plants seemed to sense her arrival, gently swaying their branches and leaves as if to welcome her.
Arriving before a magnificent palace, this was the Biyou Palace.
At that moment, the gate slowly opened, revealing a dimly lit interior that exuded an air of majesty.
The Tongtian Sect Leader sat high in the hall, and Yunxiao slowly walked in.
Upon seeing the Tongtian Sect Leader, Yunxiao felt a pang of bitterness.
Back then, our master was so full of vigor and looked like a young man!
Tongtian is now middle-aged.
It was mainly his own change that led to his decline; he became decadent.
The three Pure Ones appear as old, middle-aged, and young people, respectively.
They looked like old, middle-aged, and young people!

"Master!"
Yunxiao bowed respectfully.
When the Tongtian Sect Leader saw Yunxiao arrive, he smiled and said, "My disciple Yunxiao, do you resent me for not rescuing you?"
Yunxiao was imprisoned for over a thousand years, and he didn't go to rescue her; that was truly unethical of him.
Yunxiao raised his head, looking firmly at Tongtian Jiaozhu, and said, "Master, what resentment do I have? If it weren't for your taking me in, I wouldn't even have had the chance to embark on this path of immortality. This tribulation is simply a trial that I was destined to experience."
The Tongtian Sect Leader was slightly moved and sighed, saying, "I also had many helpless situations at the time, as the Investiture of the Gods involved a wide range of issues."
He was indeed trying to save the Three Immortals, but he was blocked by the Two Sages of the West halfway there.
By the time they came to their senses, the Three Immortals were gone.
So it's impossible that he wasn't angry.
Yunxiao stepped forward and said softly, "Disciple understands. Moreover, disciple has not damaged his foundation. On the contrary, he has comprehended some principles that he had not understood before."
The Grand Master of Heaven showed a pleased expression and asked, "Oh? My disciple has actually made some progress?"
Yunxiao nodded in agreement and continued, "Although I suffered greatly in that place of suppression, I was able to sense the subtle flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and gained new insights into my own cultivation techniques."
Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed loudly: "As expected of my disciple, Tongtian, you can still make progress even in such adversity."
Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader slowly rose from his throne. He was imposing and dignified, each step seemingly carrying boundless majesty and power. A moment later, he walked to the side of the Cloud Fairy.
The Tongtian Sect Leader extended his right hand and gently waved it. A flash of azure light appeared, and a mysterious and ancient sword materialized in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the renowned Qingping Sword!
The Qingping Sword is about three feet six and a half inches long, with a slender and sharp blade that gleams with a chilling light.
What's even more peculiar is that both the blade and scabbard are a deep, dark black, like black jade in the night, exuding an air of mystery.
On the blade of the sword, there are exquisite blue lotus flowers, so lifelike that they seem to be in full bloom.
These lotus flowers emitted a faint bluish light, which contrasted with the black of the sword, making the entire Qingping Sword appear even more magnificent and noble.
Fairy Yunxiao stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, her face filled with astonishment, and for a moment she was at a loss for what to do.
She stammered, "Sword Master Qingping... Master... what is this?"
The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled slightly, his eyes revealing affection for Fairy Yunxiao, and said slowly, "I bestow this Qingping Sword upon you today. Your journey outside is the last hope of my Jie Sect. If those people see this sword, they will naturally know that you are the one I, Tongtian, value most, and they will not dare to act rashly towards you."
After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Leader gently handed the Qingping Sword to Fairy Yunxiao.
With trembling hands, Fairy Yunxiao carefully took the Qingping Sword.
The moment she gripped the sword hilt, a powerful force instantly coursed through her body, filling her with a surge of emotion.
She understood deeply what the Qingping Sword meant to her.
It is not only a powerful and unparalleled magic weapon, but also a precious token representing the deep affection between her and her master.
You should know that this Qingping Sword is something that her master never leaves behind!
Moreover, the Qingping Sword also holds a very special symbolic meaning. Together with the Taiyi Whisk and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, it is regarded as a symbol of the unity and common origin of the Taiyi, Yu, and Shangqing schools of thought, and the Chan, Jie, and Ren schools of Buddhism!
It is no exaggeration to say that seeing the Qingping Sword is like seeing the Tongtian Sect Leader himself!
Back then, even a highly respected figure like Senior Brother Duobao failed to obtain the Qingping Sword, yet now it had been bestowed upon her by the Tongtian Sect Leader. This honor truly made Fairy Yunxiao feel overwhelmed with gratitude.
She was just one of the four outer disciples.
Tongtian has four inner gates and four outer gates.
The inner sect consists of Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Guiling, and Holy Mother Wudang.
Of these four people, Duobao Daoren was the eldest disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, followed by Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and Wudang Shengmu.
They were all personally taught by the Tongtian Sect Leader, which means they received the essence of Tongtian's teachings, and the Tongtian Sect Leader had great trust in them.
Then there are the four outer sects.
The four outer sect leaders are Zhao Gongming, and the three sisters Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao.
