The Grand Roc that followed behind the Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder abruptly flapped its wings that were like clouds that covered the sky.
Whoosh!
Instantly, the Grand Roc passed by the former and whistled as it descended, and everywhere it passed, the sound of air exploding rose and fell.
Duan Lingtian was able to see that the Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder was swept by the strong wind caused by the Grand Roc's wings, and he was in an extremely sorry state in midair …
"Elder Peng wouldn't have done it on purpose, right?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at the Grand Roc beneath his feet as he thought in his heart.
The Grand Roc sent Duan Lingtian's group to an open space, then it nodded to Linghu Jin Hong before spreading its wings and flying high into the sky, vanishing behind the clouds and mist.
Whoosh!
Meanwhile, the Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder had finally descended, and he descended not far away from Duan Lingtian's group.
Although he was made a fool of by the Grand Roc, the Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder dared be furious but didn't dare speak out, and he slightly respectfully welcomed Linghu Jin Hong and the others into a gorge. Within the gorge …
"This is the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's inner gorge, it's similar to our Seven Star Sword Sect's main peak, Dubhe Peak. It's the location of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Spirit Point, and the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's higher-ups and inner court disciples usually cultivate here."
Zheng Fan introduced the inner gorge to Duan Lingtian and the other young people.
They walked all the way into the inner gorge.
Duan Lingtian's eyes suddenly opened up, and he was able to see some buildings standing here and there, and he was even able to see many Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciples flowing endlessly within …
Some Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciples that noticed them couldn't help but stop and look over.
"They're from the Seven Star Sword Sect?"
"They should be. Those four young people are wearing the Seven Star Sword Sect's inner court disciple attire … Eh, that young man looks to be only 21 or 22 years old. He wouldn't have come to participate in the Martial Competition of the five great sects this time, right? "
"It's impossible, right … Being able to become a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple at such an age can already be considered to have extraordinary natural talent, but if he wants to participate in the Martial Competition of the five great sects, then he's still too young."
"Indeed. So long as you're a disciple of the five great sects below the age of 30, you can participate in the Martial Competition of the five great sects, and there's no lack of existences at the fourth or fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage like our Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Senior Brother Long Yun who's ranked at the fifth of the five great young masters. Presently, his cultivation is only a step away from breaking through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage! "
"This Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple probably followed his seniors over to watch the show."
…
Under the lead of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect elders, Duan Lingtian's group walked all the way into the inner valley. Everywhere they passed, they could clearly hear the whispers of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciples.
Saber Young Master, Long Yun.
He still hasn't broken through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage?
A light flashed through Duan Lingtian's eyes.
The gaze of the Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder that led the way descended onto Duan Lingtian many times, and he was rather surprised that Duan Lingtian was able to become a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple at such an age.
"Sect Leader Linghu, looks like another young genius has appeared in your esteemed sect this time."
The Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder spoke to Linghu Jin Hong, but his words were indifferent.
As far as he was concerned, even though becoming a Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple at such an age could be considered to be not bad.
But in terms of natural talent, it wasn't worth mentioning when compared to their Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Saber Young Master, Long Yun, who was ranked as one of the five great young masters of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
After all, their Demonic Lotusblade Sect's Saber Young Master, Long Yun, had stepped into the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage at the age of 20 and became an inner court disciple.
As far as he was concerned.
This young man was at most an existence at the seventh or eighth level of the Origin Core Stage.
"Elder's judgment isn't bad."
Linghu Jin Hong replied indifferently.
The Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder felt disdain in his heart when he heard Linghu Jin Hong, but he didn't show it on the surface.
In next to no time, the Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder brought Duan Lingtian's group to arrive at the center of the buildings in the inner valley. The Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciples here were comparatively scarce.
"You, come here."
The Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder stopped a Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciple that passed by and instructed indifferently. "You bring these four young geniuses of the Seven Star Sword Sect to the Martial Competition Courtyard."
As he spoke, he looked at Duan Lingtian, Zheng Song, Huang Ji, and Meng Qiu.
"Yes."
The Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciple hurriedly replied respectfully.
Duan Lingtian's group of four didn't leave, and they all looked at the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong.
"The four of you, including our Demonic Lotusblade Sect, the young geniuses of the four great sects are already waiting at the Martial Competition Courtyard. All of you can go over and rest first … Later, the higher-ups of the five great sects will head over together and announce the start of the Martial Competition."
The Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder lightly smiled as he spoke to Duan Lingtian's group of four, then he looked at Linghu Jin Hong and made a hand gesture. "Sect Leader Linghu, Peak Masters, our Sect Leader has already been waiting respectfully for a long time, please."
"Go on."
Linghu Jin Hong nodded to Duan Lingtian's group of four, and then he left with Zheng Fan and Ke Zhen to follow the Demonic Lotusblade Sect elder.
After obtaining Linghu Jin Hong's permission, Duan Lingtian's group of four followed behind the Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciple and headed towards another direction.
On the way, Duan Lingtian found out from Zheng Song.
Not only did the Demonic Lotusblade Sect have a Martial Competition Courtyard within the inner gorge, even their Seven Star Sword Sect's main peak, Dubhe Peak, had a Martial Competition Courtyard.
The Martial Competition Courtyard was a place specially prepared for the Martial Competition of the five great sects.
The Martial Competition of the five great sects was held once every three years, and it was held by the five great sects in rotation. Every sect would hold a Martial Competition every 18 years …
This time, it was precisely the Demonic Lotusblade Sect's turn.
Through Zheng Song's introduction, Duan Lingtian had a certain level of understanding towards the other three great sects of the five great sects of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
The other three great sects were respectively.
The Origin Convergence Sect, the Mountain Split Sect, and the Snow Moon Sect.
In next to no time, the Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciple brought Duan Lingtian's group into a spacious courtyard.
After entering the courtyard, what entered his eyes was a spacious and flat ground, and numerous pergolas stood in the surroundings of the flat ground …
Presently, there were people sitting within four pergolas.
The people sitting within were all young people, and the oldest amongst them wasn't over 30 years old.
"These people are the disciples of the other four great sects that are participating in the Martial Competition of the five great sects?"
Duan Lingtian casually swept these people with his gaze as he thought to himself.
"Senior Brothers, all of you casually find a pergola to rest for a moment. The Martial Competition will begin when the Sect Leader and the others arrive."
After the Demonic Lotusblade Sect disciple bid his farewells to Duan Lingtian's group of four, he directly left.
Duan Lingtian's group of four walked towards a nearby pergola.
"The Seven Star Sword Sect has arrived!"
In next to no time, some people with sharp gazes noticed Duan Lingtian's group of four.
"Looks like the Seven Star Sword Sect has really declined. Four positions were actually occupied by a little kid that looks to be a little over 20."
Someone couldn't help but sigh.
Duan Lingtian's group of four sat down in the pergola, and many snacks and tea had been prepared in the pergola beforehand.
Duan Lingtian's gaze flashed past the other four pergolas one by one.
Only now did he notice that within every pergola sat four young people that wore similar clothes.
There was also a pergola that actually had a young woman sitting there.
Most shocking of it all was that the three young men by the young woman's side seemed to be slightly reverent when facing the young woman.
This caused Duan Lingtian to be unable to help but be stunned.
"That's the Snow Moon Sect's genius disciple, Liu Yue, and a figure in the younger generation of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom with a natural talent in the Martial Dao that's only inferior to the five great young masters … Although she's a woman, if she were to fight, she wouldn't be the slightest bit inferior to a man, and she's an extremely dangerous figure."
Zheng Song noticed where Duan Lingtian's gaze was and explained in a low voice.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
This Liu Yue was around 27 or 28 years old, and although her appearance was ordinary, her strength was shocking.
Sixth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!
"She's only a woman, yet she's actually even stronger than the personal disciple of my Seven Star Sword Sect's Leader, Huang Ji …."
Now, Duan Lingtian was able to understand the feelings of the Sect Leader, Linghu Jin Hong.
If the Seven Star Sword Sect continued like this, it would sooner or later be destroyed at the hands of this generation of young people.
"That's the Saber Young Master, Long Yun."
Along with Zheng Song speaking, Duan Lingtian's gaze shot towards the distance.
In a distant pergola, a young man around the age of 26 that held a sheathed broad saber silently sat there with his eyes closed, and he turned a deaf ear to everything in his surroundings.
The other three young men by his side didn't dare breathe loudly, as they were deeply afraid of disturbing the former.
"Saber Young Master, Long Yun?"
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Relying on his acute Spiritual Force and the experience of Samsara Emperor Wu, he was able to detect the exact cultivation of this Saber Young Master …
"He's only half a step away from breaking through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage! This Saber Young Master seems to have encountered a bottleneck that's difficult to break through. "
With just a glance, Duan Lingtian discerned the depth of the Saber Young Master's cultivation.
"In the Martial Competition of the five great sects this time, the Saber Young Master, Long Yun, and Liu Yue's strengths are the strongest."
Zheng Song continued.
Strongest?
Duan Lingtian asked curiously. "Didn't they say that there was another person amongst the five great young masters that came from one of the five great sects? That person didn't come? "
Zheng Song smiled. "Junior Brother Duan Lingtian, you don't know … .The person you're talking about is the person ranked fourth amongst the five great young masters, and he's called Sword Young Master. This Sword Young Master is a weirdo amongst weirdos. "
"What do you mean?"
Duan Lingtian's interest was piqued.
"Sword Young Master is from the Origin Convergence Sect, and he's fond of women … .Supposedly, after Sword Young Master left the Origin Convergence Sect two years ago, he spent his days in the largest dance hall in the Imperial City, and from then on, he was unable to recover from his setback and didn't pay attention to the affairs of the world anymore … .He's really living up to the saying, 'The home of women is the grave of heroes.'"
Zheng Song had a strange expression as he introduced Sword Young Master.
"This Sword Young Master has a true temperament."
Duan Lingtian smiled, as he was able to feel Sword Young Master's carefreeness. "Right, since he's from the Origin Convergence Sect, could it be that the members of the Origin Convergence Sect don't care about him?"
"The members of the Origin Convergence Sect are utterly unable to care about him."
Zheng Song shook his head and smiled. "At the beginning, a few elders of the Origin Convergence Sect wanted to capture him, but in the end, he directly said, 'If you dare touch this Young Master, then this Young Master will immediately announce to the world that I'll leave the Origin Convergence Sect from today onwards!'"
