Chapter 2123: A Blade of Grass Carries a Mountain | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on May 2, 2025
Many disciples of the Sword Pavilion and people from the Blood River Sect have private friendships.
For example, Sikong Jingxiao and Yu Xiaochen are very good friends, and he is an even older friend of Blood River Sect Elder Zhang Jian. Initially, when he chose Chi Fu as his sword, it was Zhang Jian who gave him a set of core sword canons from the former Liang Emperor, helping him subdue the sword. If not for the Heartless Sword Master Tu Li blocking it, not allowing the seniority to be messed up, this old and young duo almost became sworn brothers.
Ning Shuangrong also has several acquaintances in the Blood River Sect, especially having traveled together with Blood River Sect Elder You Jingzhong’s daughter, forming a deep friendship. She has always highly respected the Blood River Sect, privately believing it to be the great sect most capable of shouldering the responsibility of the extraordinary world.
The two sects are both in the east of the Southern Domain and were originally neighbors. They also both supported Liang Country, jointly managed the poisonous water, previously resisted pressure from Xia Country together, and now resist pressure from Qi Country together… there are too many reasons for them to become friends.
It’s not an exaggeration to say they are branches connected by the same breath.
The outstanding individuals of the two great sects also began to establish friendships early under the tacit permission of the elders.
And the death of the world’s former sword overlord, Sword Pavilion Official Chang Qing, actually originated from a conspiracy within the Blood River Sect!
This makes Ning Shuangrong feel a sense of pain from being betrayed by those close to her.
Behind the “family friendship” between the Sword Pavilion and the Blood River Sect over the years, how many ugly things were hidden?
“Kou Xuejiao is dead, Peng Chongjian is being pursued.” Ning Shuangrong asked, “What about Zhang Jian and You Jingzhong?”
Among the three great elders of the Blood River Sect from before, Zhang Jian was free and easy, You Jingzhong was refined, and Xu Mingsong was profound. They are all contemporary True Persons, and their sect rankings do not distinguish between high and low. Of course, now only two remain.
Si Yu’an said, “I didn’t pay attention, but with Wu Zongshi there, none of them can escape.”
The entire upper echelon of the Blood River Sect was caught in a net like this. A great sect that once dominated an area was instantly battered by wind and rain.
It truly makes people sigh.
Jiang Wang had a deep impression of ‘moving mountain first’ and couldn’t help but ask, “Where did Peng Chongjian escape to? Is this shocking change in the poisonous water due to problems with the entire Blood River Sect?”
“How many people in the Blood River Sect have problems, let Wu Zongshi answer you later. He has the most accurate answer.” Si Yu’an said casually, “As for Peng Chongjian, he has nowhere to go in the current world, so he has already escaped into the depths of the poisonous water—”
He looked at Jiang Wang: “Want to go see?”
“Can I?” Jiang Wang’s eyes were full of expectation.
“Thinking too much!” Si Yu’an coldly snorted, and with a flash of sword light, encircled everyone: “How can the struggle for the Derived Dao be a playground for you? The little ones should withdraw from this place first, the old man is about to go on a killing spree.”
With a circle of sword light, fleeting shadows flew past.
Jiang Wang was already used to Si Yu’an’s speed, but he was still not used to Si Yu’an’s bad taste and abruptness.
“Wait, Si Ge Lord! Don’t be too hasty!” In the wind and speeding electricity, Jiang Zhenren said anxiously, “Isn’t it inappropriate to leave Dou Zhao there alone?”
He was very willing to guard outside the farmland small world, waiting to see Dou Zhao with a grey face and then laugh heartily. But to truly throw Dou Zhao into the poisonous water full of hidden dangers and lock the door, that would be very unsuitable.
“The danger in that place has already been neutralized, he won’t have any problems staying there by himself.” Si Yu’an said casually, “But if someone wants to swallow this bait, that’s even better!”
Jiang Wang said very seriously, “If he is to be used as bait, shouldn’t he be informed in advance? Just like informing Champion Hou… I am not questioning the meaning of the various great masters. It’s just that as a contemporary True Person, Dou Zhao should have some degree of true freedom, shouldn’t he? Moreover, the world is a game, human power has flaws, and mistakes are inevitable when playing chess. For the chess piece, however, it is a moment of life and death. Behind Dou Zhao are the three thousand years of world families of Great Chu, Si Ge Lord cannot not consider this.”
Si Yu’an glanced at him, then suddenly burst out laughing: “Look at how serious you are, just take good care of yourself.”
He added another sentence: “Song Botuo has already arrived!”
Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.
Is Dou Zhao’s arrival in the poisonous water also not pure?
Combining the fact that so many people have come to the poisonous water this time, all arranged by the elders, am I and Senior Brother Zhu the only ones who truly came to cultivate?
“Don’t think too much.” Si Yu’an said, “Whether you come or not to the poisonous water is not the important matter, the Blood River Sect has already reached the time when it must move. But since you came, it is also your opportunity. Whether Shuangrong and the others come or not to the poisonous water only affects the timing of our actions, it does not affect the overall situation. As for Dou Zhao—after the Blood River Sect era of the poisonous water, it is impossible to bypass Chu Country. With Dou Zhao here, naturally Song Botuo would come over.”
Such an important place as the poisonous water, of course, cannot be entirely managed by the Blood River Sect. Leaving aside whether the Blood River Sect has the ability to independently govern the poisonous water, the mere possibility of it holding onto the poisonous water and becoming self-important is not something the various strong powers in the world would allow.
The Blood River Sect was built at the gateway to the red dust world, and in the eyes of the world’s people, it was almost the sole representative governing the poisonous water, but in fact, it may not be so.
Compared to the initial Jing Country and Tianjing City guarding the Wan Yao Gate, it is completely different.
Throughout the ages, this Blood River has been governed by the Blood River Sect, guarded by the Three Punishments Palace, and the Sword Pavilion and Evening Drum Academy have also shared the responsibility of checking for leaks and filling gaps.
And as the mainstream of the current world, the actions of the state system regarding the poisonous water, in addition to the “Zhan Evil Gold” jointly allocated by the six great overlords, there are also major countries specifically responsible for the poisonous water.
Now it is Qi Country, before that it was Xia Country, and before that it was Yan Country…
Although Liang Country is small, it has always had a responsibility of knocking and striking throughout the ages.
Chu Country mainly guards the Fallen Immortal Forest, but it also frequently patrols the poisonous water.
Surrounding the poisonous water is such a complex prevention system.
Great sects, great countries, and prominent schools of the world all keep an eye on this.
Since ancient times, how to govern, how to dredge, how to prevent changes in the poisonous water, how to cope with evil calamities… each country and each sect has its own counts and various plans.
After all, “when the poisonous water tips, the world is turbid.” No one dares to take this ancient and dangerous place lightly.
And now the Blood River Sect has undergone such a sudden change overnight, it is indeed attracting attention from all sides!
Zuo Qingru sighed and said, “When I was in the Five Virtues World, I was thinking, what should we do when the Blood River Sect suddenly undergoes this change? Disaster arises from within the door, how to deal with the common people of the world? Now I can’t help but think… How could the Blood River Sect dare?”
Si Yu’an’s sentence “after the Blood River Sect era” has basically confirmed the Blood River Sect’s ending.
But… the Blood River Sect, which has shouldered world responsibility and suppressed the poisonous water for fifty-four thousand years, how could it have come to this step today?
Si Yu’an looked at Chong Xuan Zun and said, “This fellow indeed hid very well. For so many years, even when the family master Official Chang Qing was lost, he could always wipe away the traces and clear the suspicion. But the bad thing is that he hid too well, he really thought he had never done those dirty things, he really thought the Blood River Sect was infinitely bright and cast no shadow.”
“He actually dared to intervene in the first Qi-Xia war, and even dared to use the poisonous water as a foot-washing basin! As a result, Qi Country got hold of his weakness.”
“Which overlord in the world eats people without spitting out bones? Once under their control, you can never escape in your lifetime. Being kneaded and flattened in Qi Country’s palm, Huo Shi Ji couldn’t keep any secrets.”
“He had to arrange a fake death two years ago to seek escape. But this move was even more stupid, Ruan Qu, Chen Pu, Wu Bing Yi, which one is easy to deceive? Not to mention that this Pavilion was also present.”
Si someone clearly lifted himself a bit and then continued: “Huo Shi Ji guarded the poisonous water with his body, performing very heroically, and dying very realistically, but it caused all of us to be suspicious. For the two years after that, we were always investigating the Blood River Sect, and the more we investigated, the more shocking it was! A proper human race, master of ten thousand worlds. Actually raised such a poisonous tumor at the gate of the poisonous water, and it has already grown to this extent!”
He flicked his sleeve: “The old secrets have all been revealed, and the Blood River Sect of course is also aware of this. The abnormal movement today is that they have to move. Because they will die if they fight, and they will die if they don’t fight, it’s better to fight, rather seek a quick death.”
Jiang Wang personally witnessed the process of Huo Shi Ji heroically filling the sea.
He also knew about the cooperation between Huo Shi Ji and Emperor Xia Xiang during the first Qi-Xia war.
He couldn’t help but sigh for a moment.
Wind rises from the tip of green duckweed, and the sea tsunami comes from the time of tiny waves.
Who could have imagined? The collapse of the great sect Blood River Sect actually began with a planned failure thirty-five years ago!
But tracing its root, it is still the Blood River Sect’s early planting of evil and creation of sins.
A ten-thousand-zhang high building, once tilted, is not destroyed by the wind.
Chong Xuan Zun coughed: “Huo Shi Ji and that Si Yuan intended to lead the poisonous water to irrigate the human world, how can the magnificent East Country sit idly by? My Great Qi is vast and spans ten thousand li, and also bears responsibility for the world, of course, we must strictly supervise him. Later, when he was driven to desperation, it was also his own doing. Today, Qi Country joins hands with various great masters to remove this evil, cutting poison for the human race, truly a fortune for the world!”
After all, he is the Great Qi Champion Hou, and the country’s face must still be maintained.
What eating people without spitting out bones, Si Yu’an’s words are too unpleasant. Great Qi’s righteous army is clearly maintaining the public reason of the world!
“Yes, ah.” Jiang Zhenren said objectively, “Thanks to the Great Qi Emperor for seeing clearly and discovering Huo Shi Ji’s wolf ambition thirty-five years ago. Otherwise, who knows how long he would have continued to do evil—that, well, since Huo Shi Ji faked his death and escaped, where is he now?”
After all, Si Yu’an is not a very objective person and was too lazy to care about their objective speeches. He didn’t answer any of the questions, just flicked his sleeve, and the sword light already wrapped everyone, descending into the clear water domain.
This ten-thousand-li water domain surrounds the red dust gate, like a jade belt wrapped around the waist. So it is also called the “Jade Belt Sea”.
On both sides of the “Jade Belt”, one side is endless turbid flow, and the other side is surging blood river.
You can also see many cultivators fighting with evil views, or slowly cleansing the turbid flow of the poisonous water.
The things happening on the side of the red dust gate, and the shocking changes within the lotus seed world, have not yet spread here.
The ignorant are fearless, but they are also not qualified to control their fate.
Jiang Wang couldn’t help but think—what role did that Xu Ximing play in this matter?
Si Yu’an used one sword to roll several young people to a safe area, then prepared to leave here to participate in the great war: “Okay, you—”
His sword brow suddenly lifted, and he pushed back with his palm, pushing everyone several thousand zhang back: “You just stand here and watch!”
The next moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
A majestic giant mountain with a main peak reaching eight thousand zhang high and a body stretching several thousand li, covered the originally dim sky.
Tai Yi Mountain, ranked third among the ‘Brocade Mansion Thirteen Peaks’ below, descended from the sky!
The surface of the Jade Belt Sea dropped three feet!
Peng Chongjian, who should have already escaped into the depths of the poisonous water, actually returned again, with a Tai Yi Mountain clearing the way for him.
That terrifying power that covered the sky and filled the sea caused cultivators to scatter in all directions, and they were all rolled open by a sword light, all falling behind Jiang Wang and the others.
Jiang Wang’s heart moved. Si Ge Lord is really cold on the outside but warm on the inside, ah. On one hand, he tells me not to think too much, and on the other hand, he brings us to watch the war. On one hand, he is cool and silent, and on the other hand, he lifts his sword to save people.
Great cultivators truly have great bearing!
With such role models among the seniors, he also opened the true source fire realm, sheltering the several thousand cultivators of different origins rolled over by Si Yu’an’s sword in this world.
Everyone only saw—
That Tai Yi Mountain boomed against the sky and ground the sea, its power pressing down on ten thousand li, but it suddenly stopped in mid-air, unable to descend another foot.
Because there was one straw, horizontally placed under this mountain.
Si Yu’an used one grass to support a mountain!
Peng Chongjian, who looked refined but had a barbaric aura, leaped down from the top of the mountain: “Si Yu’an, the two sects have been friends for ten thousand years, you and I have no grudges or enmity. Let me pass, and leave a line!”
His blood-colored sect master robe flapped and rustled in the strong wind, instantly turning from a hundred to a thousand, from a thousand to ten thousand, ten thousand figures, simultaneously rushing forward. He actually directly gave up the Tai Yi Mountain he had refined for years, determined to escape. It was clear that the pursuers were very urgent.
Si Yu’an said one “Good,” and took out another straw, leisurely placing it horizontally in front—
“Then I will leave you this one line!”
With this one sword, the sky and sea were all opened, suddenly dividing the clear and turbid.
Ten thousand figures in blood robes simultaneously shattered the void and the sea, wanting to forcefully rush through the Jade Belt water domain, but were all blocked back by one sword!
Although the sword’s power was so carefree, Si Yu’an’s heart was already scolding, that Chen Pu and Ruan Qu were actually doing what, chasing and killing a newly promoted True Monarch Peng Chongjian, yet letting him run back and forth, and even run back to the Jade Belt Sea. It almost made him, the old man, lose face.
Of course, he couldn’t really scold out loud, damaging the image of a high person. Thus, with anger as sword intent, he went straight for Peng Chongjian: “Moving mountain boy! Why haven’t you left?”
“Old man, just block here, don’t interfere anymore!” Peng Chongjian had infinite divine power, and he rushed forward, smashing with his fists.
Ten thousand qing waves were gone, the heaven and earth yuan power disappeared.
Even space, was completely blocked and wiped away, showing the rootless emptiness of the world.
Everything between him and Si Yu’an was smashed into emptiness by one fist!
Facing such a terrifying fist, Si Yu’an still held the straw and casually struck diagonally.
A simple sword light met Peng Chongjian’s fist.
Yet it swallowed Peng Chongjian, person and power, into it!
One sword light is one realm. A wisp of sword qi derives one life.
Si Yu’an whistled and sang in a long voice: “Chop to get one line dividing two realms, if not, the body dies and the dao disappears… cannot cross!”
Peng Chongjian had also gone through several life and death situations and used quite a few trump cards, just finding an opportunity to kill his way back, yet he was blocked just right, both angry and hateful. He shook his body, confused the dao principles, raised his hand, and the sword light world was pushed open.
Then he pointed at Si Yu’an—
Groups of mountains pressed down!
Seventeen giant mountains descended from the air, as if to fill the poisonous water.
But no matter whether this mountain came or that mountain came, Si Yu’an only used one sword. Waving the straw, he chopped everything apart!
Seventeen world-famous mountains disappeared from this point on.
“Good, Si Yu’an!”
Suddenly, star light filled the sky and flew.
The dim void instantly became a star dome, brilliant and illusory like a dream.
The excessively young Ruan Qu, wearing a star chart dao robe, stepped through the void and came, standing on the star light, loudly praising: “I didn’t even calculate this backhanded move of his, but you calculated it and came to block in advance.”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Si Yu’an coldly snorted, an appearance of disdaining false fame: “A mere Peng Chongjian, what is he? This is not my work, quickly come and take over!”
Ruan Qu had already rushed over, and Chen Pu of course was not far behind.
Unlike Ruan Qu who suppressed Peng Chongjian at close range, he first appeared in Jiang Wang’s true source fire realm.
The corners of his clothes fluttered lightly, like a spring breeze brushing over, the entire fire realm was full of vitality.
This time, Jiang Wang was pacifying a group of cultivators who participated in the cleansing of the poisonous water, using the shortest words to tell them what happened and what to do now… Easily calming their hearts.
Several thousand cultivators, from different origins, with different personalities and different cultivations, yet no one panicked. Although they were in such shocking changes, they all felt safe in the environment they were in.
Chen Pu suddenly realized that this young True Person already enjoyed extremely high prestige among the human race. Or perhaps he had always heard about it, and only now did he have a specific understanding—the so-called “bowing their heads in worship,” “losing courage at the sound of his name,” wasn’t it all just a word “name”?
He glanced at Ji Li, who was well protected and still calculating incessantly on paper, and sighed: “Foolish child!”
This sound was so warm, Ji Li’s body instantly glowed with jade light, the fatigue between her eyebrows was swept away, and her eyes became even brighter. The Snow Explorer Flower curled in her embrace was even more happily asleep.
“Dean Chen! Work!” Si Yu’an’s dissatisfied voice rang out again.
Chen Pu shook his head and casually left a seed, which landed and grew into a green pine.
The green pine shook its leaves, becoming the only green color within this magnificent fire realm. It sheltered Ji Li with its shade, supported the fire realm, and protected everyone within this world.
Then he took another step out of the fire realm, and with another step, he was already face to face with Peng Chongjian, who was moving mountains and fixing the sea.
“Stop here!”
He reached out a hand, and no one knew how, but he actually seized the new mountain Peng Chongjian had moved, gripping this majestic giant mountain into the size of a small inkstone, and just like that, smashed it on Peng Chongjian’s forehead!
It was like a god striking a heavenly drum.
The former moving mountain first True Person, now Blood River True Monarch Peng Chongjian, raised his head and then fell!
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone, happy not just on Valentine’s Day!
