"Hum …"
The drum sounded again in the quiet mountains. This time, the sound spread to all five peaks, and it sounded seven times in a row.
"It really sounded … Which peak is this disciple from?" Peak Leader Yu was pleasantly surprised. Such a disciple would definitely become a sword master in the future. If he could take him as a disciple, there would probably be a second sword master in Rising Sun Peak.
Not only him, but the other three peak leaders also had the same expression.
"Reporting to Sect Leader and Peak Leaders, the four sword masters are all cultivating in their own places. They did not go to the Sword Drum Formation," the elder who had gone to investigate earlier returned and reported.
"Haha …" Peak Leader Yu laughed, then turned around and cupped his hands, "Sect Leader, I think this disciple is destined to be a disciple of Rising Sun Peak. I am willing to take him as an unofficial disciple."
"Peak Leader Yu, you are wrong. I can see that this disciple has a strong power of fire in his Genuine Qi. He is destined to be a disciple of Yaori Peak." Peak Leader Yin also cupped his hands.
"Humph, our Heavy Sword Peak is also lacking such a talent."
The three peak leaders did not give in to each other and soon began to argue.
"Everyone, please look, this disciple has reached the eighth drum!"
As soon as he said this, the Heavenly Sword Peak fell into silence again. Everyone looked at the cliff and saw that the small figure had reached the eighth drum.
"It is not strange. Any disciple who can pass the seventh drum will try the eighth drum, but it is impossible to succeed." Peak Leader Yu smiled.
"The drum in the Sword Drum Formation was obtained by the founder from an ancient site. In the past five hundred years, only four people have been able to sound the eighth drum." Peak Leader Yin looked at Qing Yun and smiled.
"Among us, only the Sect Leader has successfully sounded the eighth drum. We all stopped at the seventh drum …"
The peak leaders all looked like they were reminiscing.
Qing Yun smiled and said nothing. He just looked at the cliff in the distance with a calm expression.
"It has begun!"
On the cliff, Zhou Yang had already swung his huge sword.
"Heavy sword … haha … It seems that he is a disciple of our Heavy Sword Peak." Peak Leader Yan said happily.
"Maybe he is just a disciple of Dragon Gate Gang who has just started cultivating the heavy sword. Whether he is really suitable for it remains to be seen." Peak Leader Yu said bluntly.
"Why don't we go ask him now and see which peak he wants to join?" After saying that, Peak Leader Yan was about to move. However, at this moment, the sound of a drum reverberated through the heavens and earth, instantly petrifying everyone.
"This … this …"
Peak Leader Yan stared at the distant cliff in shock. The eighth drum had sounded …
The Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect had been established for five hundred years, and there were only four people who could sound the eighth drum. The only one who was still alive was Qing Yun.
This was the fifth one.
"Impossible, how can it be eight tones?" On the Morning Sun Peak, Nangong Ying was also looking at the black dot on the stone cliff with a look of disbelief.
"Who exactly is this?" Halfway up the Heavenly Sword Peak, Zhou Aotian stood beside the Third Prince and frowned.
"No matter who it is, they must work for me. Hurry up and head to the Great Sword Drum Array." After saying that, the Third Prince rushed off.
"Sect Leader, this disciple uses a heavy sword. Why don't you let me train him?"
Outside the Golden Palace of the Heavenly Sword Peak, Peak Leader Yan looked at Qing Yun and said.
Qing Yun frowned. He was also very surprised. After all, the people who had sounded the eighth drum in the past five hundred years were either Sect Leaders like him or experts who had left the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect and set foot in the Chaotic Lands.
How could such a disciple be trained casually?
"Peak Leader, let my Morning Sun Peak train him. My Morning Sun Peak has a lot of cultivation resources …"
"My Yaori Peak also has an alchemy branch. Do you think you have more cultivation resources than us?"
"Why don't you let my Moonlight Peak make an exception and accept him as my disciple."
Faced with the request of the four peak leaders, Qing Yun only shook his head lightly. "I can understand your feelings, but this disciple's talent in the Sword Dao is extremely rare. We can't delay it because of our selfishness. I think it's better to let him choose himself, this way …"
Halfway through his words, Qing Yun suddenly looked into the distance. The other four peak leaders quickly reacted and turned around.
A powerful sword aura came from afar and instantly filled the entire Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect. Then, the sound of a drum rang out.
This time, the drum didn't sound like the previous eighth drum, but it carried the might of heaven and earth. After the ninth drum sounded, the sound of a secret sword rang out in the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect.
What was even more amazing was that as the sound of the sword rang out, rays of sword light shot into the sky. The spirit swords in everyone's hands involuntarily flew into the sky and shone with the sword light in the sky.
In the middle of the sword light was a golden sword of light that rose from the stone cliff. This sword of light was like the emperor of swords, emitting an unparalleled might of the Sword Dao.
The changes did not stop. As the light of the golden sword of light became more and more intense, five similar swords of light also floated out from the five great cultivation peaks. However, these five swords of light were not as bright as the one on the stone cliff.
"The Sword of the King. The rumors are true. The person who can sound the ninth drum must be a peerless genius of the Sword Dao who can comprehend the Sword of the King. The heavens really bless our Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect." Peak Leader Yan sighed.
"This can only be considered as the sword light of the King, not the true Sword of the King. However, it's only a matter of time for him to grasp the Sword of the King," Peak Leader Yu said.
"This sword of light is formed from the sword aura of the Sword Drum and the disciple's spirit. It can be called the Spirit Sword. If he can comprehend the five Sword Daos of the five great cultivation peaks within ninety days, he will become the true Sword of the King," Peak Leader Yin said with a hint of envy.
"Who is he?"
After a while, Peak Leader Yuehua finally asked the question that everyone was curious about.
"He's Zhou Yang."
As soon as Qing Yun finished speaking, Peak Leader Yu and Peak Leader Yuehua's faces turned pale.
Zhou Yang!
"Sect Leader, are you sure?" Peak Leader Yu said in shock.
Qing Yun smiled and flipped his hand. In the next moment, an azure longsword flew towards the stone cliff. After a while, the azure longsword carried Zhou Yang to the golden palace of the Heavenly Sword Peak.
In an instant, the entire golden palace turned golden. The Sword of the King above Zhou Yang's head was as dazzling as the sun.
"Zhou Yang, it's really you. It's really you. Haha …" Peak Leader Yan was overjoyed, while Peak Leader Yu and the others had gloomy expressions.
"Zhou Yang greets the Sect Leader." Zhou Yang cupped his hands.
Qing Yun nodded and smiled, "We were just discussing whether you should stay or leave."
"Did the discussion come to a conclusion?" Zhou Yang smiled. He admired Qing Yun's breadth of mind. He didn't hide anything.
"What do you think?" Qing Yun asked with a smile.
Zhou Yang's expression was indifferent. He said, "I can go, I can stay."
