"legend……"
"And the source of all these legends comes from a widely circulated saying—"
"With perseverance and determination, three thousand Yue soldiers can conquer Wu!"
"The origin of this saying is probably well known to everyone."
"The ancient Yue Kingdom was too weak and was attacked by the neighboring Wu Kingdom. Even King Goujian of Yue was captured."
"But Goujian did not yield; instead, he endured humiliation and hardship for a full ten years."
"During these ten years, the Yue Kingdom secretly trained three thousand swordsmen, each of whom was capable of taking on a hundred men."
"In the end, with these three thousand swordsmen, they defeated the three hundred thousand elite troops of the Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop, shocking the world and successfully restoring the country."
"People only know that the three thousand Yue soldiers are powerful, but they don't know who trained them."
"At this point, you should have already guessed it."
"The person who trained three thousand Yue soldiers and created the legend of 'three thousand Yue soldiers can conquer Wu' was Yue Maiden Sword A Qing."
"She is now over two hundred years old."
The Dengtian Pavilion was completely silent.
No one expected that the sixth-ranked sword immortal was a female sword immortal who had lived for over two hundred years.
Following Li Changsheng, Yan Fei, and Jian Yue, another immortal has appeared on the Sword Immortal Ranking, and his cultivation has reached the terrifying Land Celestial Realm.
What shocked everyone even more was that A Qing came from the ancient Yue Kingdom and was the one who trained three thousand Yue soldiers.
This is of great significance.
Knowing that the Heavenly Secrets Monthly Appraisal Meeting would announce the Nine Provinces Sword Immortal Ranking, swordsmen from various dynasties gathered at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.
In the hearts of these swordsmen, the ancient Yue Kingdom held an extremely high position, even considered sacred and inviolable.
The swordsmanship of the Yue Kingdom is unparalleled in the world!
Throughout history, only the ancient Yue Kingdom dared to claim unparalleled swordsmanship in the name of its nation.
In this world, swordsmanship is prevalent, and countless dynasties are renowned for their swordsmen.
However, the ancient Yue Kingdom was the only country that established itself on the sword, regarded the sword as its national spirit, had its entire population practice swordsmanship, and revered swordsmanship.
In the ancient Yue Kingdom, no other weapons could be seen among the common people; there was only one weapon—the sword.
In the ancient Yue Kingdom's martial arts world, there were no other sects, only the Sword Dao sect.
This kind of kendo atmosphere is unprecedented.
This is why, although the ancient Yue Kingdom was not a powerful dynasty, it gathered the most outstanding swordsmen, swordsmiths and sword appraisers of the time, and all kinds of peerless sword techniques and famous swords emerged one after another.
But the original ancient Yue Kingdom was not like this.
It was only after three thousand Yue soldiers defeated three hundred thousand elite Wu soldiers and rebuilt the ancient Yue Kingdom that the sword became a symbol of the ancient Yue Kingdom.
Later, as the soldiers of Yue Kingdom retired one by one, they brought their swordsmanship to the martial arts world and the common people, which made sword practice a national activity.
Chapter 64 I can’t believe it
It can be said that these three thousand Yue soldiers created the glorious period of swordsmanship in the ancient Yue Kingdom.
Two hundred years have passed in a flash, but the legendary story of three thousand Yue soldiers conquering Wu has been passed down from generation to generation and is known to all.
Many people have wondered how the Yue Kingdom managed to train so many elite swordsmen.
It should be noted that even the mighty Qin Golden Fire Cavalry and the Beiliang Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, who were feared throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, could not claim to be able to withstand an army of 300,000.
Not to mention, the three thousand Yue soldiers defeated Wu's most formidable 300,000 elite troops, not a rabble.
Now, the truth has finally come to light.
The reason why the three thousand Yue soldiers were so powerful and had such amazing achievements was because they had a super powerful master.
Her name is Yue Nu Jian A Qing.
The swordsmanship of the Yue Kingdom was unparalleled, and all the swordsmanship of the Yue Kingdom originated from these three thousand Yue soldiers, whose swordsmanship was in turn created by A Qing.
Yue Nu Jian A Qing was the founder of swordsmanship in the ancient Yue Kingdom!
Once they understood this, everyone wore expressions of disbelief.
How much talent must one person possess to create a golden age of swordsmanship in a country with just their swordsmanship, leading the entire nation to learn swordsmanship and giving birth to countless unparalleled sword techniques and famous swords?
Many people have questioned this before.
Even Li Chungang, the sword god of Liyang, was only at the terrestrial celestial realm at his peak.
How could there be so many terrestrial celestial sword immortals in the world whose talents could rival his?
But after hearing Su Chen's words, they were completely convinced.
At least in their eyes, Yue Nu Jian A Qing's talent and skill were absolutely no less than those of the sword god Li Chun Gang.
Immediately, murmurs arose in the hall:
"Just as I expected, all six sword immortals on the Sword Immortal Ranking have broken through to the Land Celestial Realm."
"That's terrifying! No wonder Jun Mo can only be ranked seventh; the sword immortals ahead of him are just too powerful."
"There are countless top sword immortals in the world. Even if Li Chungang recovers to his peak condition, he can probably only rank in the top three."
"Ah Qing, the Yue Maiden Swordswoman? I never imagined that the one who trained three thousand Yue soldiers was actually a female swordswoman."
"What a remarkable Yue swordswoman, A Qing! Her feat of training three thousand Yue soldiers and establishing a great nation of swordsmanship is enough to make her name go down in history."
"As expected, those who can enter the top ten of the Sword Immortal Ranking are no ordinary people. I wonder what kind of immortality technique Yue Nu Sword A Qing has used to live to this day."
"Haha, our Great Qin Jianghu is also full of talents. A female sword immortal at the Land Celestial Realm, when this news gets back, the whole Great Qin will be in an uproar."
In the first private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Han's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Just as Your Highness said, this female sword immortal of Qin has already reached the terrestrial celestial realm."
Fusu nodded and exhaled a long breath with a calm expression.
Fortunately, his worst fears did not come true.
Ever since he heard that there was a female sword immortal in the Great Qin Dynasty who might have reached the terrestrial celestial realm, he had been restless.
When the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, its iron cavalry shattered countless families wherever it went, and the blood debts it committed still evoke resentment among the people of the six kingdoms.
Fusu's biggest fear was that Aqing came from one of the six kingdoms.
Because if that were the case, the imperial court would have one more potential enemy at the terrestrial celestial realm.
Now he can rest assured.
Aqing's hometown, the ancient Yue Kingdom, disappeared two hundred years ago and had no connection with the Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, considering that the name A Qing has never been heard of in the past two hundred years, this female swordswoman with superb swordsmanship is likely a recluse who rarely cares about worldly affairs.
Nevertheless, Fusu kept his eyes fixed on Baiyutai, wanting to hear more about Aqing's secrets.
Su Chen took a sip of tea, and before everyone could finish their discussion, he continued:
"Back then, King Goujian of Yue endured humiliation and hardship for ten years in order to restore his country."
"But this does not mean that it took Ah Qing ten years to train three thousand Yue soldiers."
"In fact, Aqing only stayed in the military camp for two months."
"After that, three thousand Yue soldiers, each capable of fighting a hundred men, appeared."
"It all started with Aqing's childhood."
"She was originally just an ordinary shepherdess in the countryside of Yue, whose daily job was to herd sheep."
"Until one day while herding sheep, she encountered a white ape carrying a bamboo stick."
"This white ape was very intelligent and quickly became good friends with Aqing."
“From that day on, when Aqing was not herding sheep, he would often play with the white ape with the bamboo stick he used for herding sheep, just as a game.”
"But what she didn't know was that this white ape was a rare spiritual beast in the world, well-versed in the profound principles of immortality, and had a lifespan of a thousand years."
"It seems to be playing with Aqing, but it is actually imparting to her the principles of immortality that it knows."
"Aqing was originally a rare swordsmanship prodigy. As she sparred with the white ape, she naturally mastered the method of cultivating immortality. She absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with every breath, and her immortal foundation quietly formed, but she was completely unaware of it."
"As the days went by, Aqing grew up and her understanding of the Dao of Immortality deepened. Her swordsmanship also reached a transcendent level."
"From being no match for the white ape at the beginning, to being able to fight it to a draw, and finally even defeating the white ape."
"But at that time she didn't know that she had become very powerful."
"Until one day, Aqing was herding his sheep through the market when he was provoked by a swordsman from the Wu Kingdom."
"The Wu swordsman, in order to show off his superb swordsmanship, casually cleaved A Qing's sheep from head to tail, separating the flesh from the bone."
"Aqing was heartbroken and, in a fit of rage, struck out, knocking the longswords out of the hands of all eight Wu swordsmen with a single blow."
"At that time, the Wu Kingdom was powerful, and Fan Li, a minister of the Yue Kingdom, was in charge of training three thousand Yue soldiers, but he could not find a suitable method."
"Having heard that A Qing was a master swordsman, Fan Li personally went to invite her to teach him swordsmanship."
"But at this time, Aqing had no idea that she had reached the highest level of swordsmanship and had no idea where to start teaching her."
"Left with no other choice, she could only imitate the white ape's method and compete with three thousand Yue soldiers every day."
"Two months passed like this, and she didn't teach them any sword techniques."
"But the three thousand Yue soldiers' understanding of swordsmanship improved rapidly, and each of them created their own sword techniques."
"It's just that their talent is far inferior to Aqing's, and what they have grasped is only the basics."
"But it was this very skin that made the three thousand Yue soldiers invincible."
"Everyone knows that three thousand Yue soldiers defeated the Wu army of three hundred thousand, making the surrounding countries tremble with fear."
"But almost no one knows that the three thousand Yue soldiers also suffered a major defeat."
"That failure was also due to Yue Nu Jian A Qing."
"That was after the reconstruction of the Yue Kingdom. The swordsmanship of the three thousand Yue soldiers became even more exquisite, and they all reached the level of the Free Realm or above."
