All the disciples of the Sword Tomb were clear about one thing. The Sword Mountain had been refined by the masters of the Mana Realm for thousands of years. Regardless of whether it was the wind or the rain, or the erosion of the sea breeze, it could not be damaged in the slightest. Read on Baidu or search on Google.
Therefore, none of them could accept the fact that Xie Tian had used brute force to crush the mountain wall of Sword Mountain. Third Elder was also stunned for a while. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Xie Tian did not continue to damage the mountain wall except for the first two claw attacks.
He could not understand why Xie Tian had used so much strength in the first two claws. Only the Mad Old Man knew that Xie Tian was afraid of heights. Every time Xie Tian climbed down the cliff, he would be extremely nervous at the beginning.
The two frightening claws were caused by Xie Tian's fear of heights.
At the beginning of the climb, everyone was full of energy and climbed quickly. Only Xie Tian was calm and steady. When most of the people climbed more than a hundred feet, the disciples of the Sword Catacomb who were waiting at the foot of the mountain also became alert, ready to catch those who fell.
The Third Elder's sword was already out of its sheath, hovering in the air. If a disciple could not catch someone in time, his sword would be used to ensure that no one would fall to their death.
However, his attention was always on Xie Tian.
Ever since he was fooled by the Natal Inner Qi, the Third Elder discovered the strangeness of Xie Tian's body. He had lived for more than a hundred and fifty years and had seen many things, but he had never seen a warrior with a body as strong as Xie Tian's, who had reached the Inner Qi Realm Stage Three.
For a swordsman, a strong body was essential. When a swordsman stepped into the Mana Realm, what circulated in his meridians was not mana, but sword energy, which was even sharper than mana. This was also the fundamental reason why the combat power of a swordsman far exceeded that of a Daoist practitioner.
Therefore, his attitude towards Xie Tian gradually changed from contempt to respect. A strong body meant that once Xie Tian broke through to the Mana Realm, his body would be able to contain more sword energy than ordinary people. This kind of person was undoubtedly a genius swordsman.
"It's a pity for his spirit root!"
The Third Elder sighed in disappointment. A Ninth-Grade Spirit Root was the trashiest Spirit Root in the Cultivation World. It had a heterogeneous nature and almost couldn't be cultivated. Whether it was the Sword Tomb or the Dao Sect, they would never recruit such a trashiest Spirit Root to cultivate. Full text reading
"It can be considered your lucky chance."
The Third Elder sighed and smiled. The Sword Catacomb was expanding because the Taoism and the Sword Catacomb were about to become affiliated with the Holy Palace of the Central State, the number one holy land of cultivation in the Nine States.
In order to get more resources from the Holy Zhi Palace, the two factions came up with this idea after some discussion. Li Jian and Xie Yun were both at the Holy Zhi Palace at the moment, waiting for someone from the Holy Zhi Palace to come and take them to the Zhongzhou State.
Therefore, in his opinion, Xie Tian was only able to enter the cultivation world because of the two special Daoist Bodies. However, he did not know that Li Jian and Xie Yun were not taken away yet.
That was because an important figure from the Holy Zhi Palace was coming to pick them up personally.
However, the main purpose of the big shot's arrival was to bring his disciples to see the third person.
The second test of the Sword Catacomb was still going on. After two hundred feet, everyone's speed had obviously slowed down, and they would switch hands from time to time to rest.
For warriors in the Brute Force Realm, two hundred feet was a limit. If they could use their Inner Qi, they could climb up to six hundred feet. Therefore, the second test was not only a test of their physique, but also their willpower.
Mu Liang was the person who had climbed the highest out of everyone, and he had already reached a height of three hundred meters. Panting heavily, he didn't rest, but instead looked around as if he was looking for something. When he saw a lush green grass, his eyes immediately lit up, and with a spurt of energy, he moved a few meters horizontally before plucking the grass and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Tianyuan Grass, one of the main ingredients of the Supreme Yang Elixir. It can quickly recover one's strength."
Feeling his strength recovering quickly, Mu Liang smiled. Not being able to use Inner Qi and Tianyuan Grass to recover strength were what the disciple of the Sword Catacomb had told Mu Liang yesterday.
With these two points, Mu Liang was very confident that he could take first place in the second test again.
However, the disciple had also said that Tianyuan Grass only grew below eight hundred feet. If one wanted to climb up, they could only rely on their own strength to climb the last two hundred feet, and the last two hundred feet was extremely difficult.
"Climbing up is too difficult. Forget it. If I can climb eight hundred feet, I will be able to look down on everyone!"
He glanced at the pale faces of the people a hundred feet away and felt even more proud. He was not disappointed even if he could not climb up. In the past two hundred years, only one person had successfully climbed up the Sword Catacomb. It was Wanzhou's number one genius, Li Jian, who had just entered the sect not long ago.
Mu Liang did not expect to be as famous as Li Jian. As long as he could step on Xie Tian, he would be satisfied.
"Xie Tian, do your best! Haha!"
Glancing at Xie Tian, who was slowly climbing up, Mu Liang laughed loudly. He stretched out his hands and quickly climbed up the mountain.
"Hmph!"
The scene of Mu Liang swallowing the Tianyuan Grass was clearly seen by the Third Elder. He snorted and said, "If this happens again, you will go to the Sword Wind Cave and face the wall for a month!"
The disciple who leaked the news had a bitter expression. The Sword Wind Cave was the place where the Sword Catacomb punished disciples. The astral winds inside were endless. Once an outer sect disciple entered, he would definitely die. Even an Innate Realm inner sect disciple would not be able to last long by relying on Innate Inner Qi.
Xie Tian's movements did not change at all. He stretched out his left hand to lift his right leg, then his right hand to lift his left leg. He did not realize that he had already passed the six people. His blood-red eyes stared straight at the mountain wall as he focused on climbing up.
His breathing was still calm. To him, climbing a mountain was not difficult. The difficult part was how to overcome his fear of heights. The reason why he was so focused was because he did not dare to raise his head or lower his head.
But after climbing six hundred feet, he stopped and turned his neck a few times stiffly.
He was not willing to face his fear in this way.
"I can even kill Hei Shui. Why should I be afraid of heights?"
"I even swore to kill Buddha. Why should I be afraid of heights?"
That was why he lowered his head and looked at the height of six hundred feet, which was enough to make his whole body go soft.
It was only at this moment that his vision began to blur. His ten fingers that could crush the sword mountain began to go soft. His breathing accelerated, his face flushed, and the sudden impulse in his heart almost made him jump down!
The Third Elder immediately noticed Xie Tian's abnormality and immediately stood up from the praying mat. He did not understand why Xie Tian would have such a change. In his opinion, even if Xie Tian could not climb up, he could rely on his powerful body to climb eight hundred feet.
The disciples of the Sword Tomb also saw Xie Tian, who was on the verge of falling in the mountain wind. A few people immediately came to the bottom of Xie Tian to rescue him, but their eyes inevitably revealed a strong sense of ridicule.
"Hehe, he was so steady just now, but he is the first to fall."
"He was just pretending at the beginning. Tsk tsk, only six hundred feet!"
The six people who were overtaken by Xie Tian also noticed Xie Tian's abnormality. They immediately became very excited and overtook Xie Tian as if they had taken drugs. At the same time, all kinds of sarcastic remarks were directed at Xie Tian.
"Haha, what kind of bullshit monster is this?"
"Just a rice bucket. You can still be arrogant in the secular world, but when you reach the Sword Tomb, give up!"
"Fall down! Fall down!"
Xie Tian would not fall for the time being. He was already prepared. The Eighteen Element Brocade pulled his muscles and firmly grasped the mountain wall. But as the fear in his heart attacked, he, who was dizzy, finally lost control and fell down.
He had never fallen off a cliff before because he had never faced his fear of heights so directly.
As he fell, he saw the six people's ridiculing faces. He had been ridiculed by many people, but he did not care because he knew that he was not as weak and lowly as everyone ridiculed him. But this time, they were right.
He was indeed afraid of heights.
Those who ridiculed him were not afraid of heights.
They had the right to ridicule him.
Would he tolerate this kind of ridicule?
When he fell one hundred and fifty feet, Xie Tian's bloody red eyes shone brightly. There was no heaven or earth in his eyes, only himself.
When he fell one hundred and seventy feet, Third Elder's sword was less than five feet away from Xie Tian.
When he fell one hundred and ninety feet, the extremely disappointed Third Elder's sword-like eyes were indifferent. It was as if he was looking at Xie Tian for the first time. He looked at the first piece of trash to fall off the mountain with ridicule.
Bang!
Bang!
Two earth-shaking bear paws, with the belief of surpassing oneself, fiercely slammed on the mountain wall, causing rubble to fall.
An ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing against stone was emitted from between Xie Tian's palms and the mountain wall, playing a sword cry that had never been heard in the Sword Tomb.
Boom!
Xie Tian's fall suddenly stopped. The speed of his fall turned into an aura that shook away the eight hands that were reaching out towards him.
One inch was the distance between Third Elder's sword and Xie Tian's body.
It was also the distance between Xie Tian's feet and the ground.
