Jiang Nianqiao and the others stood behind Shi Xuan with pride. Looking at the Luofu Sect's disciples saluting respectfully, they discussed the wonderful battle just now in whispers and excitement. Martial Uncle Shi had actually mastered the legendary Sword Light Division, which was really beyond everyone's expectations. He was even more powerful than the Sword Elder!
After the Luofu Sect's disciples saluted, a tall Leaving Aperture Stage cultivator stood up and said, "After seeing Senior Shi's peerless swordsmanship, disciple Wu Yun admires Penglai's swordsmanship. Therefore, I would like to ask Fellow Penglai for advice. I wonder which Fellow Daoist is willing to teach me?" When he spoke, he looked at Li Bingnan and the other male cultivators with hatred, as if he didn't want to argue with the woman. After all, the one who shouted the most fiercely just now was Jiang Nianqiao.
Ying Juexiao nodded and praised the disciples of his sect for being so courageous to challenge. However, Li Bingnan and the others felt a little weak. The seven of them practiced sword formations. If they fought alone, they didn't have a deep understanding of swordsmanship, so they couldn't compare with the fanatical disciples of the Luofu Sect.
But Li Bingnan had been in the sect for more than ten years, and his cultivation was much deeper than the others. Now that he was challenged, if he didn't accept, he would really lose face in front of his junior brothers and sisters. Therefore, he plucked up his courage and took a step forward. Then, he looked at Shi Xuan and waited for him to speak. At least he knew that this kind of thing should be discussed with the elders first.
Shi Xuan said lightly, "It's late now. Let's arrange a time to compete another day." Now Shi Xuan was very important in the hearts of the Luofu Sect's disciples. He was their first goal in swordsmanship cultivation. Therefore, after hearing his words, the disciples all agreed and said, "Senior Shi's words are reasonable. How about tomorrow at noon?"
At this time, Ying Juexiao interrupted, "I have an idea. How about we wait until the Golden Core Ceremony and let the disciples of each sect compete in front of everyone? It can also be considered as paving the way for the Boundless Spell Assembly 18 years later."
Gong Xujing glanced at Lou Yizhi and saw her nod slightly. So, she stepped forward and said, "Fellow Ying, this is a good idea. It can also urge the disciples of each sect to work hard, lest they become frogs at the bottom of a well and become arrogant. What do you think, Brother Shi? "
Shi Xuan didn't expect that the spar would change to the Golden Core Ceremony. At that time, there would be cultivators from various sects and many individual cultivators watching from the side. The pressure of the disciples on the field could be imagined, but at the same time, this was also a good opportunity for the disciples to temper themselves. So, he nodded and agreed, "I also think it's not bad. It's just that these Leaving Aperture Stage disciples haven't converted their zhenqi yet, so they usually lose their energy within a dozen or so moves, making it difficult for them to compete with each other. Furthermore, there are too many of them, so it's a waste of time to compete with them one by one. Why don't we have the Leaving Aperture Stage disciples compete together during the Golden Core Ceremony? Not only can we save time, but we can also see if our disciples can work together. "
Ying Juexiao pondered for a while. He was not a fool. Based on what Shi Xuan said, their Leaving Aperture Realm disciple must have practiced some kind of combination technique, secret technique, or formation. In short, their strength would be greatly increased if they fought together. However, the disciples of the Luofu Sect were sword cultivators, how could they retreat in the face of adversity? They should become stronger when facing a strong opponent and defeat the disciples of the Penglai Sect who displayed their full strength. Ying Juexiao said, "That's good, I quite agree." Besides, Luofu Sect also had formations and the like.
"I also agree," Gong Xujing agreed without hesitation. In the big sects, because the Leaving Aperture Stage disciples were not strong, they rarely acted alone. Therefore, the disciples who were familiar with each other often had a tacit understanding with each other. There were even three to five good friends who had practiced formations before, so it was in line with Gong Xujing's intention to have them fight together.
"Then, I will inform the other sects about this." As the master, Ying Juexiao naturally had to take responsibility for this kind of thing.
Shi Xuan looked at his disciples with a smile, but his stare made them shiver. They felt that their rest time tonight would be shortened again. However, even if Shi Xuan didn't request it, they would still do it. If they lost miserably in the Golden Core Ceremony under the eyes of countless people, it would be extremely embarrassing, and they wouldn't dare to step out of the sect for the next ten years.
"Alright, I will take my leave. Senior Lou, Fellow Ying, Fellow Gong, you don't need to send me off." Shi Xuan cupped his hands and said.
However, right when Shi Xuan was about to lead his disciples back to the Emerald Martial Palace, many sword lights of different colors came flying over from the sky. When they landed in the Misty Martial Palace, Shi Xuan saw a familiar face among the crowd – Hu Yunsong, who was wearing a silver robe. They looked at Shi Xuan and Ying Juexiao anxiously, and among them, Hu Yunsong blurted out, "Fellow Daoist Shi, Senior Martial Brother Ying, are you done with the sword competition?"
Ying Juexiao nodded with an admiring expression, "It has finished for a while. Fellow Shi's reputation is not for nothing. I am ashamed to be compared to you."
"Ah?!" The cultivators of the Luofu Sect all revealed disappointed expressions. They were disappointed that they couldn't see the battle between those who were at the peak of the Gold Core Realm. They had rushed here in a hurry, but it turned out to be a wasted trip. They were also disappointed that Ying Juexiao lost to Shi Xuan. Moreover, Ying Juexiao was a self-proclaimed sword cultivator. He was proud and arrogant when it came to swordsmanship. It was rare to see him show such an admiring expression to others. This could only mean that the gap between them was very big.
The cultivators of the Luofu Sect couldn't accept this conclusion. Others might not know the level of Ying Juexiao's swordsmanship, but how could they not know? There were even many people who thought that Ying Juexiao's swordsmanship should be at the limit of the Divine Soul Realm. Any higher would be the Gold Core Realm. But now, Shi Xuan had surpassed Ying Juexiao by a lot. They couldn't imagine what kind of extent it was. Therefore, a cultivator in a yellow robe asked in disbelief, "Senior Brother Ying, is Fellow Shi really so powerful?"
Ying Juexiao sighed with both satisfaction and shame. "Junior Brother Qi, Fellow Shi is really the number one swordsmanship master in the Divine Soul Realm since the Middle Ages. He has already mastered the Sword Light Differentiation. Ah, Sword Light Differentiation!"
These words were too flattering. Shi Xuan felt goosebumps rising all over his body. However, he couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it. On the other hand, Jiang Nianqiao, Ren Shuiyao, and the others were happier every time they heard someone praise Shi Xuan. It was as if they were the ones being praised.
"Sword Light Differentiation? Sword Light Differentiation! " Not only Junior Brother Qi, but all the other cultivators, including Hu Yunsong, were dumbfounded and repeated these four words. After a while, Hu Yunsong swallowed and asked, "Senior Brother Ying, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" It was not that he didn't believe Senior Brother Ying, but it was just too unbelievable.
Ying Juexiao looked slightly angry. "Could I have seen it wrong?" The Luofu Sect's disciples behind him also rushed to answer, "It's true. I saw it too!"
Now, the Luofu Sect's cultivators really believed it. They looked at Shi Xuan with strange and fanatical eyes. They felt strange because when they looked at Shi Xuan, it was as if they were looking at an incomprehensible monster, and fanatical because their desire to learn from each other was too strong.
Shi Xuan smiled and shook his head. Then, under the disappointed gazes of the group of cultivators, he led his disciples back to the Emerald Valley.
…
Outside the Emerald Valley, a beautiful female cultivator was asking, "Is Fellow Penglai Shi here? Xu Yu from the Medicine King Sect is here to visit." She had dark eyebrows, watery eyes, a fine nose, and pink lips. She seemed to be a bit better looking than before, but her cold arrogance was a bit heavier.
A Luofu Sect's odd-job worker walked out. When he saw Xu Yu, he was first intimidated by her beauty and was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly apologized and said, "Senior Xu, please know that Senior Shi went to the Valley of Light Smoke with Senior Ying from our sect."
Xu Yu was speechless. He had only returned to his resting place after watching Ying Juexiao win against Hu Yunsong. Not long after, because he heard that the person Penglai sent was Shi Xuan, he remembered his help back then, so he quickly went to pay his respects. Who knew that Ying Juexiao would come to challenge Shi Xuan without stopping. These guys from Luofu Sect seemed to have gone down the wrong path. "If that's the case, I'll take my leave first. When Fellow Shi comes back, please pass on my message."
"Yes, Senior." The odd-job worker didn't even dare to look at Xu Yu. He just lowered his head and answered.
"So it's Fellow Xu who came to visit. I almost missed the opportunity." A voice suddenly came from the sky. Then, eleven rays of light landed. The leader was Shi Xuan in a white robe.
Xu Yu smiled and said in a cold voice, "I didn't expect Fellow Shi to return so soon. Otherwise, I would have waited for a while. What was the result of the battle between Fellow Shi and Fellow Ying?"
"I won by luck." Shi Xuan answered simply. "Fellow Xu, please come in." Although Xu Yu had already achieved a superior-grade Gold Core, the two of them had a predestined relationship. It was still okay for him to call her Fellow Daoist. In the past ten years, there were a few superior-grade Gold Core cultivators in the cultivation world.
Xu Yu followed Shi Xuan inside without the slightest awkwardness. After they were seated, he said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shi, for your help in the past. I was busy informing my fellow sect members and forgot to thank you. I had to come today to make up for it. "
"Actually, I also benefited from Fellow Xu back then. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster if I had encountered Yang Fei by myself." Shi Xuan said modestly.
After Xu Yu thanked him, he felt that his wish had been fulfilled. Therefore, he did not dwell on it anymore. Moreover, the two of them were not familiar with each other. After exchanging some pleasantries and discussing Dharma for a while, they got up and left.
After that, the middle-grade Jindan Grandmaster of the Yingzhou Sect, Dong Yuanzi, also came to visit Shi Xuan. Originally, according to the relationship between the two sects and their cultivation, Shi Xuan had planned to visit him the next day. However, Dong Yuanzi heard that Shi Xuan had defeated Ying Juexiao with sword light division. Out of curiosity, he came first.
"I've always heard that Nephew Shi is a grandmaster in swordsmanship. Today, I finally know that it's true." Dong Yuanzi touched his white beard and said, "Haha, it's not a waste of time for Lao Dao to come here to witness such a rare event." It seemed that Dong Yuanzi also felt that coming to congratulate him was a waste of time, just like the Presidents and Elders in Penglai's sect.
Shi Xuan could not say anything about this. He could only say, "Senior, you flatter me."
After that, Shi Xuan asked about Daoquan Zi and was relieved to know that his black bear was doing well in the Yingzhou Sect.
Because of the Golden Core Ceremony, no one came to visit Shi Xuan the next day. They were all training their own sect members.
