On the Stellar Peak of Spirit Sword Mountain in Blue River Region, the Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect, Feng Yin Daoist Master, and his disciple, Zhu Shiyao, sat opposite each other in the bamboo room. Two cups of tea were placed between the two of them. The water vapor in the cup slowly rose, which set off the tranquil and comfortable atmosphere in the bamboo room — if one did not consider the row of Heavenly Sword Hall Elders who were standing in the bamboo room.
After a long time, Feng Yin, who was somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by his Junior Brother and Sister, finally opened his mouth to break the silence. "Tell us in detail about your experiential learning in the Southern Heaven Region."
"Okay."
Zhu Shiyao, who has never been good at talking, calmly agreed. Then the woman suddenly stood up and made a sword move. Her movement was as smooth as flowing water. The bamboo room suddenly lit up with starry light. Countless sharp sword qi stabbed toward the Sect Leader. The sharp sword intent seemed like it wanted to cut him into pieces.
However, how could a Deity Stage cultivator be easily hurt by it? The starry sword qi hit the Sect Leader's body, bursting out dazzling sparks. However, it couldn't even hurt the Sect Leader's clothes and skin. The Sect Leader's expression remained unchanged. He picked up the teacup and slightly nodded.
"Mm, so that's how it is. It's indeed an unexpected result."
With that, Feng Yin fell into contemplation. As for Zhu Shiyao, she took a deep breath and then calmly sat back, picked up the teacup and gently sipped the tea.
The bamboo room was restored to its tranquility. After a long time...
"What the hell, you two can speak human language!"
Standing on the side, the Fifth Elder finally could not bear it anymore. She took a few steps forward and slapped the wooden table. "Are you showing off your foreign language skills!?"
Feng Yin Daoist Master was startled, and then apologetically said, "I forgot that you don't understand sword language."
For Feng Yin and Zhu Shiyao, the most convenient way to communicate was with the sword. There were thousands of words in the heart, but they didn't need to resort to the mouth. When the sword was swung, all the thoughts were poured into it. It could be said that it was convenient and fast. Moreover, it was also in line with the identity of a sword cultivator.
However, to be able to communicate through the sword intent, one must have a sharp enough sword sense, which meant that one's talent in the way of the sword must be at the peak. And among the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders, not everyone could meet this condition.
"In that case, let me briefly explain Yao 'er's experience and my own analysis." Feng Yin Daoist Master put down the teacup and pondered for a moment. "Yao 'er's experience was very simple. While the others entered the Sword Catacomb through the main entrance and fought their way through, Yao' er found a small path and directly entered the treasure room to retrieve the ancient sword. Then, she swaggered off."
"… What kind of godly development is this?" The Fifth Elder was simply inexplicably shocked. "After going through the war, separation, parents making things difficult for you, and other hardships, you finally got married to your childhood sweetheart of twenty years, only to find out that she was pregnant with someone else's child when you entered the bridal chamber?"
"If you must use this kind of vulgar explanation, then it's like this …" Feng Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He then shook his head and said, "Therefore, the Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Kunlun Sect allied forces that went through untold hardships to break into the treasure room tried to intercept Yao 'er in a flustered and exasperated manner. Unfortunately, Yao' er had just finished refining the ancient sword, and her sword momentum was at its peak. Although they had a large number of people, they were already exhausted after passing through three levels. Moreover, the fire in their heart was too exuberant, so they lost their calm state of mind. Under Yao 'er's sword, they were full of flaws."
"Not being able to catch the adulterer, they were beaten instead, really inhumane." The Fifth Elder gloated.
The youngest among them, Hua Yun, asked, "Will there be any trouble? After all, they have suffered a big loss. "
Feng Yin said, "The exploration of the Sword Catacomb depends on one's own chance. Yao 'er didn't use any despicable tricks, it can only be said that everyone has their own chance. The Sword Catacomb in the Southern Heaven Region is the tomb of inheritance from ancient times. This time, it came into being because it sensed the change in the world's providence and Resuscitation from the void to find a suitable successor. This kind of inheritance tomb usually has two kinds of methods, similar to our Immortal Cultivation Sect's disciple recruitment. The first kind is to meet the rigid standards, age, plasticity, cultivation philosophy... that is, to pass through many tests. As long as one can pass the test, they can take the corresponding treasure. The second kind is to have a predestined relationship with the treasure in the tomb and get the direct recognition of the treasure. This way, they can skip all the tests and directly take the treasure. The first kind is actually a necessary supplement to the second kind. If the Sword Catacomb can't find a particularly suitable object that can directly pass the inheritance, the regular test will be opened and the participants will pass through the test. "
Fang He said, "Is this the difference between the Immortal Gathering and the Elders' legacy?"
Wang Wu said with a smile, "That is to say, if you can't find a suitable person in free love, then you have to obediently go on a blind date?"
"In short, the reason why Yao 'er can go straight in, avoid all the tests and directly take the ancient sword, is because the ancient sword spirit thinks that Yao' er is a predestined person, so it opened the back door of the Sword Catacomb for her. Otherwise, no matter how good Yao 'er's Stellar Sword Scripture is, it is impossible to violate the rules of the Sword Catacomb. "
Liu Xian was quite pleased and nodded to Zhu Shiyao, "So that's how it is. I really congratulate Yao 'er for obtaining this immortal fate."
Lu Li frowned, "Senior Brother, there is a problem here. If Yao 'er and the ancient sword are predestined, then why did the Sword Catacomb open the normal test procedure and let other cultivators enter the tomb?"
The other elders were taken aback.
Feng Yin's face also sank and said seriously, "This is the problem I want to talk about next. The size of the Sword Catacomb is much larger than expected. This is an unprecedented ancient ruin, which is probably left by a True Immortal before the Age of Chaos. The ancient sword that Yao 'er took is only the outer treasure, which is not worth mentioning compared to the core treasure in the deeper part. So even if Yao 'er takes the ancient sword, it will not affect the normal operation of the Sword Catacomb. "
The Heavenly Sword Hall Elders were extremely shocked.
Liu Xian's voice trembled as he said in disbelief, "The inheritance of a True Immortal!? In this era, there is still the inheritance of a True Immortal? Don't tell me the Age of Chaos didn't make them all disappear? This is a big academic discovery! "
The Fifth Elder scolded, "Academic my ass! This is money! "
Lu Li also rarely nodded in agreement with the Fifth Sister's point of view. "Yes, if the top rank spiritual treasure is only the outer treasure, then most likely it is the inheritance of a True Immortal … There must be an immortal weapon inside, most likely a True Immortal weapon. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's priceless — moreover, it's in Shengjing Immortal City. The value of such a Sword Catacomb is comparable to that of one of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League. But Senior Brother, is this news true? "
Feng Yin said, "When Yao 'er communicated with the ancient sword spirit, at least the deeper existence has been confirmed. Unfortunately, the sword spirit has been sleeping for nearly ten thousand years, so she has lost too much of her memory. Moreover, she was sealed not long after she was born, so she knows very little. Otherwise, with the ancient sword in Yao 'er's hand, our Lingjian School has an incomparable advantage. "
Wang Wu sneered. "But other people may not know this. I'm afraid at this time, Kunlun Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect are gnashing their teeth in envy and jealousy."
Feng Yin disagreed. "This kind of Sword Catacomb, even Shengjing Sect alone can't handle it. Several sects cooperating is inevitable. Moreover, once we gain something from the Sword Catacomb, our information advantage will be wiped out. Therefore, there's no need to have such a strong hostility. I estimate that it won't be long before the documents from Ten Thousand Arts Sect and Kunlun Immortal Sect arrive. At that time, we need to take it seriously. "
The several Elders had their own ideas, but this kind of big matter was naturally decided by the Sect Leader.
"Senior Brother, what are you going to do?"
Feng Yin said, "There are two sets of plans. The first is to use the entire sect to develop the Sword Catacomb. The rule of the Sword Catacomb is to find young, malleable cultivators to inherit the legacy. In ancient times, the surrounding spiritual energy is rich, so the hard standard is much higher than now. In Lingjian School, I'm afraid only Yao 'er, Wang Lu, and Liu Li, these few people are qualified to participate. Therefore, the three of them naturally have to take action. Other suitable candidates can also participate. At the same time, us old guys can't just sit around. Although the Sword Catacomb won't let us in, we can support Yao 'er and the others from outside the Sword Catacomb in all aspects. As a last resort, we can even break the Sword Catacomb. The advantage of this plan is that the risk is relatively small. Regardless of the rules of the Sword Catacomb, it is, after all, a dead thing from ten thousand years ago. With the cooperation of the three sects' Elders, the risk is always lower than letting Yao 'er and the other disciples explore on their own. However, the problem is, once the Elders make their move, this matter will inevitably shock the world, and there will no longer be any possibility of keeping it a secret. When the time comes, once the Shengjing Sect is alarmed … hehe, I believe the other two sects don't want to see Shengjing Sect being the only one. Therefore, the development of the matter is more likely to be the second plan … "
Feng Yin paused, swept his eyes around, and then said with a sinking voice, "Fully trust our Successor Disciples and let them act alone. We, the old guys, will never participate. At the same time, we will also not allow any other old guys from the other sects to intervene. As long as our three sects insist that this is the cultivation of the younger generation disciples, even Shengjing Sect would not be able to intervene. In this way, no matter how much the harvest is, it will be divided equally among the three sects. I believe Kunlun Immortal Sect and Ten Thousand Arts Sect would also be inclined to this plan."
Hua Yun was somewhat worried. "Wouldn't it be too risky if it's just the few of them? After all, this is the Sword Catacomb from ten thousand years ago, and it has also experienced the Age of Chaos. Even if the intention of the predecessors is to select the successor, they won't kill them. However, in case there's a change in the array inside, their cultivation base is, after all, too low! "
Feng Yin said, "Therefore, we can also have the third plan: we can pretend that this thing never happened."
Hua Yun was suddenly at a loss for words.
Among the present Elders, only Hua Yun hasn't really experienced the tragedy of a hundred years ago. Therefore, she was also the soft-hearted one. No matter what the other Elders thought, they never thought of giving up this opportunity. Even if behind this opportunity was a huge crisis.
If it was other disciples, then it would be fine. However, since they were the Successor Disciples, carrying the legacy and future of the Lingjian School, and even shouldering the mission of being the mainstay of the great era, they were doomed to not grow up in the gentle breeze and drizzle.
The Ancient Sword Catacomb was indeed full of crises, but compared to the growth process of the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders, what were these tribulations? Not to mention that the sword catacomb was full of opportunities, not to mention...
The Lingjian School had Wang Lu, this big killer weapon.
