Looking at the outer court disciple's eyeballs that were about to fall out, Mu Liang and the others somehow felt that Xie Tian had done something that only wished for the world to be in chaos.
The Third Elder glanced at the frightened disciple with pity, suppressing his shock, and said lightly, "Nonsense, let's go."
So it was nonsense, then let's go. Everyone was relieved, and their expressions relaxed. They looked at Xie Tian with disdain and continued to move forward.
Xie Tian thought for a moment, shook his head, frowned, and led the pony away.
When everyone turned a corner, the sword in the outer sect disciple's hand fell to the ground, and the crisp sound was like the sound of his proud heart breaking.
The sword dance continued along the way, and Xie Tian did not use Evil Kill to peep at the tracks. It was not that he was still thinking about why the Third Elder said he was talking nonsense, but that the sword dance along the way was similar.
There was no need.
After walking for two hours, they finally reached the top of a mountain.
Compared to the Sword Mountain, this mountain was very short, but when they reached the peak, they realized that this mountain was much more terrifying.
Because this mountain peak was full of swords, some intact, some broken, some shining with cold light, and some rusty, as if all the swords in the world were here.
This was the Sword Tomb.
The Sword Tomb within the Sword Tomb.
Slowly moving forward on the Sword Mountain, what blew against their faces was not the wind, but the Sword Qi. The pony neighed and did not move forward. Xie Tian did not have time to say goodbye to the Third Elder, and hurriedly brought the frightened pony down the mountain, and soon returned, jogging all the way to catch up with the others.
Very strange.
Whether it was Xie Tian stopping or retreating down the mountain, he had failed the third test, but not only did the Third Elder not announce that Xie Tian had failed, his face twitched for the second time.
Xie Tian was not talking nonsense, the thirty-six movements he said were just enough to break two of the supreme rank sword skills.
This was the reason why Xie Tian was not eliminated for the first time.
Although the swords in the Sword Catacomb were useless, the sword will still existed. Under the simultaneous attack of ten thousand swords, the whole mountain top was filled with astonishing sword qi. Therefore, everyone could only move forward slowly. As for Xie Tian, he had to bear the attack of several times the sword qi as he jogged …
This was the reason why Xie Tian was not eliminated for the second time.
"That's why I said this is a rule for showing off!" The Third Elder, who was leading the way, secretly cursed. "If you meet someone more powerful, you'll become an idiot, right?"
Xie Tian also felt the attack of the Sword Qi. Compared to the astral wind, the Sword Qi was negligible to him. However, he discovered that the Sword Qi seemed to contain an inexplicable emotion, which made him somewhat surprised.
It would be understandable if there was a person wielding the sword, but why would a useless sword that was like an inanimate object exude such an untamed aura?
The group finally reached the end, which was the center of the peak of Sword Mountain.
There was a pool in the center. There was no water, only countless broken swords. Sword qi wreaked havoc in the pool, and there was the faint sound of metal clashing.
A man stood beside the Sword Pool. He had white hair and a black beard. He wore a tall crown on his head, and he had sword-like eyebrows, sword-like eyes, and sword-like nose … It was as if his whole body was made up of countless small swords.
"The man is the sword," Xie Tian thought as he closed his piercing eyes.
"Greetings, Sect Leader." The Third Elder bowed.
The geniuses of Chu State were shocked. They immediately lowered their heads to their knees and almost knelt down. They had no idea that this person was the supreme Sword Tomb Sage of the Sword Tomb. His cultivation was unparalleled, and no one in the cultivation world of Wanzhou State could rival him.
"Yes."
The Sword Tomb Sage nodded slightly. His bottomless sword-like eyes swept across the crowd in a flash and fell on Xie Tian.
He stopped for three seconds.
Puff!
Xie Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and staggered three steps forward before he could stand firm.
The Third Elder's expression changed, and he shouted, "Idiot! The Sect Leader was testing your aptitude out of goodwill. Why did you resist? Quickly admit your mistake! "
The Sword Tomb Sage was indifferent. He said lightly, "It's okay."
"Sect Leader, did you gain anything?" The Third Elder asked nervously.
"Let's talk about it after the assessment." The Sword Tomb Sage nodded, proving that he did gain something, but he didn't say it right away.
The Third Elder was happy. He pointed at the Sword Pool and said to Mu Liang, "Jump in. The longer you stay, the better."
Mu Liang bowed and jumped into the Sword Pool without hesitation. He stepped on the countless broken swords, and his face immediately became serious. Surrounded by sword qi, he operated all the Inner Qi in his body.
The Sword Tomb was the graveyard of swords. After the disciples' swords were broken, they would be buried in the Sword Tomb. After more than a thousand years, there were countless broken swords buried in the Sword Tomb. Although these swords were broken, the sword qi still existed.
The sword qi had two uses. The first was to sharpen the sword heart of the disciples. The longer they stayed, the higher the degree of sharpening, and the brighter the sword heart, the higher the achievement in the future.
The second was to plant the word "sword" in the hearts of the disciples.
The word "sword" was a must for all disciples of the Sword Tomb. With the word "sword", they would recognize the sword as their master for the rest of their lives and cultivate with the sword. After that, they would advance by leaps and bounds in their cultivation of swordsmanship.
All disciples, including the demon Li Jian, only had one chance to plant the word "sword" in the Sword Tomb. It was easy. As long as they didn't resist, they would succeed. What tested the disciples was the amount of time they stayed in the Sword Pool.
The longer they stayed, the brighter the sword heart, and the faster their cultivation speed would be. For example, Li Jian stayed in the Sword Pool for 20 hours. Although he almost lost consciousness when he came out, the clarity of his sword heart was infinitely close to the Mana Realm.
This meant that as long as Li Jian kept cultivating, breaking through to the Mana Realm would be a matter of time.
The Third Elder was looking forward to Xie Tian's performance. Although compared to Li Jian, Xie Tian was much worse. For example, the two Fruits of Way opportunities, the Connate Realm cultivation, the Spirit Root, the Spirit Body …
But in his opinion, Xie Tian's mind was slightly stronger than Li Jian's. Even if he couldn't stay for 20 hours, it wouldn't be too far off. At that time, the Sect Leader would definitely pay attention to him. With all kinds of cultivation resources, Xie Tian would definitely advance by leaps and bounds on the path of swordsmanship.
Poof!
An hour later, Mu Liang's face turned red in the Sword Pool and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, the Third Elder didn't dare to delay. He waved his right hand and took Mu Liang out of the Sword Pool.
"Not bad. An hour. This result is enough to look down on the outer sect."
Mu Liang was overjoyed. Although he was exhausted, he walked back to the crowd proudly. No one dared to look him in the eye.
Xie Tian frowned slightly. Although Mu Liang's astonishing aura was piercingly cold, he found this aura a little strange. It was like the feeling that the Sword Tomb disciple gave him before the Second Examination when he displayed his supreme sword skills in front of everyone.
The Third Elder knew that Mu Liang had been hit hard these two days. He comforted him lightly and then shouted, "Jump down one by one. Don't waste time."
The three exams proceeded very slowly. When the sun was setting, it was Xie Tian's turn, who was ranked last.
Seeing Xie Tian walk past him, the Third Elder didn't say anything. He believed that with Xie Tian's mind, he would definitely be able to surpass the 29 people, and even surpass 99% of the Nine Sword Tomb disciples. He would become the number one disciple of the Sword Tomb after Li Jian left.
The Sword Tomb Sage glanced at Xie Tian. His eyes flickered with anticipation.
Xie Tian didn't jump into the Sword Pool. He walked step by step to the center of the Sword Pool and looked around carefully. He found that the Sword Qi in the Sword Pool was several times stronger than outside. It was almost comparable to the astral wind. The arrogance and dominance contained in the Sword Qi were also quite strong.
Suddenly, Xie Tian looked at Mu Liang, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating. His bloody eyes flashed with suspicion.
"What are you doing!" Seeing Xie Tian's strange behavior, the Third Elder's heart skipped a beat. He was afraid that Xie Tian would do something unimaginable again. He quickly shouted, "Quickly calm down and circulate your Internal Qi!"
Xie Tian collected his thoughts and sat cross-legged in the center of the Sword Pool. However, he didn't circulate his Internal Qi and let the shuttling Sword Qi hit him.
The Sword Tomb Sage raised his eyebrows slightly. At this moment, the Third Elder's slightly embarrassed voice sounded in his ear, "This boy's behavior has always been strange. Sect Leader, please don't take it to heart."
"It's okay." The Sword Tomb Sage was still expressionless. He said indifferently, "As long as he is the disciple that my Sword Tomb needs, it doesn't matter if he's unrestrained or arrogant, let alone strange."
Thinking of Li Jian's character, the Third Elder nodded in agreement. He then said with a smile, "After Li Jian goes to the Central Prefecture, this boy will definitely be the pillar of our Sword Tomb."
"Elder Han has high hopes for this boy." The Sword Tomb Sage smiled faintly, "How long do you think he can stay in the Sword Pool?"
The Third Elder thought for a moment and said resolutely, "At least 16 hours."
16 hours later, a faint layer of black impurities appeared on Xie Tian's body. He still didn't circulate his Internal Qi. His expression was frighteningly calm.
This person was the Third Elder.
