A thousand years passed in a flash.
This was Oliver's longest time in a script.
But spending every day with the beautiful Jingliu, time also flew by quickly.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
On the Sunflare-XI planet.
Abominations of Abundance were entrenched here, enslaving the natives.
The Yaoqing Xianzhou dispatched pilots and Cloud Knights to suppress them.
"I heard from Yi Linqi Si Wu Jiu Shi IX Ba that those two Reach Heaven Agents were invited this time. Is that true?"
"That's true, I just saw them both."
"That's great! The General really splurged. With the Reach Heaven Agents helping out, it's sure to be a great victory!"
The Yaoqing pilots chatted on their communicators, relieving pre-battle stress.
A Fox-person Maiden with light purple fur became interested and joined the group chat.
"Are they the legendary Azure City Reach Heaven Agents? Those two are very powerful, I've heard their stories since I was little."
"Of course, in the battles of the past thousand years, the Reach Heaven Agents have never been defeated, always achieving great victories."
"Especially that Moonlight Sword Immortal, she looks so cool every time she appears! She just looks invincible!"
"Yeah, I feel like the Sword Champion of the Luofu can't beat the Sword Immortal."
"Her Master, the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, is quite low-key. I've seen him a few times; he's handsome, I want to marry him! Unfortunately, the master and apprentice are too well-matched, I'm not worthy."
"I wonder if the Reach Heaven Agents are still recruiting teammates, I want to cling to their coattails."
The Foxian pilots chattered on.
Talking about the Reach Heaven Agents, who always achieved great victories, their tension significantly decreased, as if this time was a guaranteed win.
A man and a woman stood on a mountaintop, overlooking the local scenery.
Jingliu: "Master, how much do we get from participating in this Yaoqing punitive expedition?"
Oliver: "The scale isn't large. We'll take thirty percent. For a regular customer discount, twenty percent is enough."
Jingliu: "Alright, then how should I make my entrance this time to be more impactful?"
Oliver: "Of course, you wear a black eye patch, walk down from here with ice forming under your feet, then take off the eye patch, and directly have breakfast and dinner."
Jingliu: "It's 'illuminating all rivers,' Master, don't ruin my image."
Oliver: "What image can you have in front of me?"
Jingliu: "Just you wait, one day I will catch your sword without kneeling an inch."
When she said this, her eyes were very resolute.
It was as if catching Oliver's sword was an obsession, and if she couldn't do it, she wouldn't rest in peace.
Oliver didn't understand why she was so determined to catch the Immortal's Kneel, so he just smiled and said nothing.
To withstand a conceptual ability, even ten thousand years wouldn't be enough for you.
A thousand years had passed, and Oliver and Jingliu had long since become inseparable.
Of course, there was still a wall blocking the distance of depth and length.
Oliver felt that this was already very good.
Unlike a certain Jing in the original plot, who was Jingliu's apprentice for several hundred years and still couldn't get any closer.
The Jingliu in front of Oliver had a peaceful homeland, and her entire childhood was accompanied by Oliver, so her mindset was naturally better. Besides her parents being killed by Abundance,
it was just that in certain emotions, she had her own ideas.
She was intimate with Oliver, but she never broke through that paper-thin wall.
Oliver didn't force it and let nature take its course.
Whatever Jingliu wanted to do, he supported her.
If she wanted to refine her swordsmanship and advance further, Oliver would accompany her to battlefields everywhere.
He even called himself a Reach Heaven Agent, participating in all Xianzhou battles, as long as there was a share of the spoils after the war.
It had been like this for a thousand years.
Therefore, she did not go to the Luofu to participate in the martial arts ceremony.
So Jingliu was not the Sword Champion of the Luofu now. Instead, Oliver gave her the title Moonlight Sword Immortal, and her prestige was earned through battle after battle.
For example, right now, the two of them were helping the Yaoqing Xianzhou suppress the Abominations of Abundance on the Sunflare planet.
It was just that the Evil Creatures had hidden themselves and were still deploying troops.
Oliver got bored waiting, pulled out a sofa from his system space, sat down directly, and waited patiently.
Jingliu also walked over and sat beside him.
What Oliver saw was a beautiful immortal in half-armor. (As shown in the picture)
This beauty, having watched her grow up, he still never tired of seeing her.
Compared to the gentle and delicate maiden she once was, the current Jingliu, refined by the battlefield, now possessed ample heroism.
Her temperament was extraordinary, like a pure white moon.
Oliver subconsciously reached out, wanting to pluck this beautiful moon.
His hand actually felt a warm touch.
Coming back to his senses, he saw Jingliu leaning her body, tilting her head, and placing the top of her head into Oliver's palm, asking with a gentle smile: "I'm already a thousand years old, do you still treat me like a child?"
Oliver gently rubbed her head, then withdrew his hand and chuckled: "No, I just wanted to feel if you're bald yet."
"No." Jingliu curved her lips, sat up straight, looked into the distance, and changed the subject from baldness:
"Master, do you still remember that clever little boy who solved the Puppet Octopus two hundred years ago?"
Hearing "Puppet Octopus," Oliver remembered that white-haired youth: "I remember, his name is Jing Yuan." (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Jingliu: "I feel he might become the General of the Luofu in the future. Why don't you take him as your apprentice, Master?"
Oliver shook his head: "No, he and I have no master-apprentice fate."
Are you kidding? If he can be Jing Yuan's grand-apprentice, why should he raise his seniority?
Jingliu: "A thousand years, and you haven't taken on any other apprentice. Were all those people truly without fate?"
Oliver: "Of course. My apprentice is only you."
Hearing this, Jingliu smiled subtly, but did not continue speaking.
The two sat silently side-by-side on the mountain, watching the scenery.
Reminded by Jingliu, Oliver's thoughts drifted back to March two hundred years ago.
The Reach Heaven Agent had received a commission from the Luofu.
It was to take some new recruits out to gain experience and hone their skills.
The Celestial Barge transporting the troops made an emergency landing on an ocean planet.
This place was deeply infected by Evil Creatures. A nascent long-life species called the Puppet Octopi hijacked the Cloud Knights' minds, infiltrating the fleet and nearly succeeding in turning the warship into their own nest.
The Cloud Knight soldiers whose minds were controlled would pretend to be normal, making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.
The situation was somewhat out of control, and they began to suspect and guard against one another.
Just as Oliver saw that this group of greenhorn recruits was about to be wiped out and was preparing to act, a white-haired recruit stepped forward.
"Listen to me, everyone! I am Cloud Knight trooper Jing Yuan, and I have not been hijacked!"
"The Puppet Octopi invade through the back of the neck, manipulating the nervous system, thereby hijacking our reason and bodies. As long as we protect the back of our necks, they pose no threat."
Jing Yuan's expression was serious, his eyes revealing confidence, looking as if victory was assured.
"Now, check everyone's neck. If there is any foreign object, it is definitely a Puppet Octopus. Removing it will restore their minds."
As soon as he said this, the normal people naturally cooperated.
But how could those who were already controlled docilely allow themselves to be checked?
Immediately, more than half of the Cloud Knights were about to riot.
Oliver raised his sword and casually swung it, his movement ethereal and unrestrained.
Everyone collectively knelt before him, hands clasped, unable to move.
This conceptual move had a wide target range and allowed for free target selection; a single thought was enough to affect a crowd.
"Kid, you are excellent. You are destined for greatness."
That day, Jing Yuan saw for the first time: One sword strike, ten thousand knelt!
What Sword Champion of the Luofu? Compared to him, she was completely overshadowed!
