After watching for a moment, Gu Qiuyue released Lu Yuan’s chin and said slowly, “1 naturally have my reasons for choosing you.”
“I thought you were simple before. When Song Zheng passed me the Photographic Stone about you, I could tell that your Dharma Idol shouldn’t be as simple as just fusing with Daoist Rhythm.”
“You should… have more than one Dharma Idol, right?”
Lu Yuan was still calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
This was the first time someone could see through the authenticity of his Dharma Idol.
At first, he thought that he had disguised it well.
However, it seemed that the cultivators in this world, especially those who had reached the Ethereal Stage, were beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan made a decision.
A fiery red immortal sword appeared behind him.
This immortal sword seemed to be made of flames. The orange flames lit up the entire main hall.
Looking at the Dharma Sword, Gu Qiuyue’s face revealed an intoxicated expression.
“As expected, when I saw that video, 1 had an inexplicable premonition that you were very important to me.”
“This has nothing to do with divine ability, but with my own special talent.”
“Two swords of Daoist Rhythm. Your talent is even more stunning than I imagined. All right, put them away.”
After Lu Yuan put away the Dharma Idol, Gu Qiuyue waved her right hand gently, and the surrounding space became illusory.
From the looks of it, she must have something to say to him and did not want others to hear it.
“Lu Yuan, I’ve already seen your experience.”
“You come from a small world called the Moongazer Serpent Realm and your sect is the Qingyun Sect.”
“In the 100th year, you clearly could enter the Upper Realm, but you chose to continue staying in the Lower Realm. In less than 200 years, you reached the Nascent Soul Stage.”
“Presumably, you had already discovered that your Dharma Idol was extraordinary, so out of caution, you did not rashly enter the Upper Realm.”
“Your choice is very smart. With the uniqueness of your Dharma Idol, if you rashly enter the Upper Realm and are targeted by someone with ill intentions, they will likely kill you and take your sword. I had that thought just now too.”
As she spoke, Gu Qiuyue even looked at Lu Yuan with a playful look. She discovered that Lu Yuan did not have the slightest bit of fear at this moment.
Gu Qiuyue could not understand his expression.
“Aren’t you afraid that I will do this?”
“I’m not afraid.”
“Why not?”
“I’m just not afraid.”
“Interesting.”
Gu Qiuyue was half-lying on the phoenix chair, smiling as she said, “Tell me, I’m curious why you’re not afraid.”
“Whether you are afraid or not, it doesn’t affect the outcome.”
Lu Yuan’s implied meaning was that if she really wanted to kill him and take his sword, then he couldn’t do anything.
At such times, there was no difference whether he was afraid or not.
Since that was the case, what was the point of being afraid?
Other than that, Lu Yuan’s words were actually secretly bootlicking Gu Qiuyue, hinting that her Majesty’s strength was outstanding and that he could not afford to offend her.
This kind of secretly bootlicking was much more brilliant than ordinary open bootlicking, it didn’t leave a trace.
Coupled with Lu Yuan’s expressionless face, the flattering effect of these words was even more powerful.
Didn’t he see the smile on Gu Qiuyue’s face become even brighter?
“That makes sense.”
After this simple probing, Gu Qiuyue also revealed the true reason why she chose Lu Yuan.
“All right, I won’t beat around the bush with you. 1’11 be straightforward with you. I didn’t choose you to be the direct disciple of the Speed Star Sword Domain but for you to be the consort of my Phoenix Empire.”
Lu Yuan was speechless.
Lu Yuan, who was still calm before, suddenly lost his composure.
He had never expected that he would be chosen for such a reason.
Why did he seem to have seen this script somewhere before!
Seeing Lu Yuan’s stunned expression, Gu Qiuyue said, “You may be wondering why 1 did this, but that’s because you still don’t know your own potential and the situation of our Spirit Sword Sect.”
“Although our Spirit Sword Sect has thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domains and seventy-two Disha Sword Cities, we have our own difficulties.”
“Let’s not talk about the 72 Disha Sword Cities for now. Let’s talk about the thirty-six Big Dipper Sword Domains. Do you know the origin of it?”
Lu Yuan shook his head. Although Xu Wan’er was a direct disciple of Spirit Sword Mountain, she hadn’t entered the Sect for a long time, so she didn’t know some of the secrets of Spirit Sword Sect.
“The so-called Big Dipper Sword Domain means that this Sword Domain contains a dense way of the heavens sword intent.”
“There are only three ways for an ordinary person to comprehend the sword intent of the way of the heavens.”
“The first is to comprehend it by yourself, but the difficulty is so high that not to mention ordinary people, there might not even be many people in the huge Upper Realm who can do it.”
“Legend has it that the innate godfiends of ancient times had an outstanding sensing of the way of the heavens. Comprehending the way of the heavens was like eating and drinking for them, but cultivators like us can’t.”
“To us, sensing the way of the heavens is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Therefore, it is difficult to go through the first way unless one is superbly a talented person.”
“The second method is to comprehend the way of the heavens sword intent left behind by the predecessors. This is also the most common method.”
“By comprehending the sword intent of our predecessors, we can condense our sword intent faster, thus speeding up our perception of the way of the heavens sword intent. But even so, there are still not many people who can gain anything from the sword intent of our predecessors.”
“In every Big Dipper Sword Domain, there is the sword intent of the way of the heavens left behind by the predecessors. This is also the true foundation of our Spirit Sword Sect.”
“As for the last way to comprehend the way of the heavens is to directly absorb the way of the heavens sword intent of the predecessors. However, this method is very dangerous. Once the mind is lost, likely, it will never be able to advance.”
“Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, very few people will choose this last method.”
“Actually, for most cultivators, they might not be able to come into contact with the way of the heavens in their entire lives. Most of them comprehended the Minor way of the heavens.”
“However, a Minor way of the heavens is still minor. With a Minor way of the heavens as the foundation, one is destined to be unable to transcend the tribulation crossing stage and become immortal.”
“The reason why I chose you to be the consort of my Phoenix Empire is because my Empire is currently facing a problem.”
“The problem is that my Phoenix Empire’s way of the heavens sword intent is about to be exhausted.”
Lu Yuan was stunned, and then subconsciously asked, “But what does this have to do with me becoming your Majesty’s consort?”
Gu Qiuyue seemed to be waiting for Lu Yuan to say this, so she smiled and said, “Of course it’s related.”
“To repair the way of the Speed Star Sword Doman way of the heavens, 1 either have to find a similar sword intent to fill it up, or someone has this sword intent and then supplemented it with their own sword intent.”
“The sword intent of the way of the heavens in the Speed Star Sword Domain is rather special. It is a rare dual cultivation way that cannot be filled by one person.”
“After all, phoenixes don’t represent individuals, but one male and one female.”
“What 1 have mastered is the female Phoenix Sword Intent and I need someone to master the male Phoenix Sword Intent.”
“Therefore, I must find a male cultivator with outstanding talent to inherit this sword intent, and the other party must be able to reach the Ethereal Stage or above cultivation within three thousand years.”
“After all, those who haven’t reached the Ethereal Stage can’t leave behind a sword intent.”
“As for you, you possess the Daoist Rhythm Dharma Idol at the Nascent Soul stage. You’re destined to become an Apotheosis stage cultivator and you fulfill all of my conditions.”
“Not to mention, your appearance also suits my preferences very well, so I’m very satisfied with you.”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan finally understood. So, he was just a tool to pass on the sword intent.
“Don’t worry. As long as you become my consort, you can go anywhere within the Speed Star Sword Domain. 1 will also do my best to help you cultivate and strive to help you reach the Ethereal Stage within three thousand years.”
“How is it? Are you moved?”
Lu Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
The main reason was that the conditions that Gu Qiuyue gave were too generous.
With the full support of a Sword Master and a wife at the Ethereal Stage, no wonder some people said that a wife 3 years older than the husband ensures a richer life, and a wife 3,000 years older is immortal.
Although there wasn’t a gap of 3,000 years between him and Gu Qiuyue, there should still be a few hundred years between them.
“She wants me to take a shortcut!” Lu Yuan thought.
“But… Why didn’t I feel conflicted at all? Instead, 1 felt a little excited. Damn it!”
“I clearly want to rely on my own strength in this!”
“Your Majesty, 1 don’t want to work hard anymore!”
