Zhou Yang knew that Gai Yang had truly seen through the true profundities of the Mountain Sword and understood the true meaning of the position of sword owner.
In the eyes of Zhou Aotian and the other Sword Masters, this scene had become a mockery. The swords in their hands felt like they were being pricked by needles.
That unbridled laughter was enough to prove that this was not an act, but true disdain, disdain for the position of Sword Master that they were so proud of!
"Junior Brother Yan, congratulations on accepting two good disciples." Qing Yun's eyes were filled with admiration as he stood up and glanced at the Martial Dojo. "Back then, the Founding Master left behind the Seven Swords and set the Battle to Ascend to the Peak and the Grand Competition of the Five Peaks as the conditions for becoming the Swordmaster. This in itself is a test. Although becoming the Swordmaster will give you a high status, the most important thing is that you all have to work hard in your cultivation during this process. Today's battle was very exciting."
Qing Yun's words made the Martial Arts Hall fall into silence.
The position of Sword Master was so revered that even the princes of the royal family would try to obtain it. However, there were people who disdained it. Not everyone could reach such a realm. Qing Yun's words could only make people think deeply, but it couldn't dispel the yearning in everyone's hearts for the position of Sword Master.
Otherwise, the number of experts in this world would be as numerous as dogs.
"Sect Leader, now that I am no longer the Sword Master, I should be able to participate in the Battle of the Summit, right?" Zhou Yang said with a playful smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, Long Jue's face revealed his killing intent. This was a blatant provocation.
"Of course, but Third Highness, are you still going to let Ye Zhining start the battle to reach the top?" Qing Yun looked at Long Jue and asked.
Dragonart fell silent for a moment before a strange smile appeared on his face. "Even he disdains the position of Sword Sovereign, why would I care about it? Since that's the case, there's no need for me to be the Sword Sovereign. It's not like I don't have any other methods to help Zhining's Icy Phoenix Astral Soul evolve."
With that, Long Jue took the unwilling Ye Zhining and flew away.
"Good. Today's battle was truly spectacular. In order to celebrate, starting tomorrow, the Sword Catacomb will be open for ten days. All disciples who have obtained the title of Martial Scholar can enter." Qing Yun laughed and left.
Ten days after the Sword Catacomb was opened …
Everyone was overjoyed to hear this.
The Sword Tomb was one of the three great forbidden areas of the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect. Normally, no one was allowed to enter, and if one were to enter rashly, then one would only be minced to death by the boundless astral winds within it.
However, the ten days that Qing Yun mentioned were different.
During these ten days, not only could all martial examinees enter, but the astral winds would also not appear.
For a moment, all the disciples who had obtained the title of martial examiner were excited. They formed groups of three to five to prepare for the trip to the Sword Catacomb the next day.
The night was as quiet as water.
Zhou Yang and the Heavy Sword Peak gathered together happily. Many years of suppressed emotions were released in one night, especially Peak Leader Yan and Elder Lie, who did not close their mouths for the entire night.
Not having a sword master was a blow to them and the Heavy Sword Peak. However, Zhou Yang and Gai Yang's performance today had completely washed away the humiliation of the Heavy Sword Peak.
"Zhou Yang, who do you think is suitable to be the Sword Master in our Heavy Sword Peak?"
After three rounds of wine, Peak Leader Yan could not help but ask Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang was in a difficult position, he really didn't know how to answer. Zhang Kuo stood up and said, "Peak Leader, earlier I discussed with my senior brothers who was the most suitable to be the Sword Master, but in the end, we all agreed that the Heavy Sword Peak doesn't need to be the Sword Master."
"Haha …" Peak Leader Yan laughed loudly.
"That's right, Zhou Yang and Senior Brother Gai Yang are our role models. Peak Leader, why don't you insert the Juju Sword into the peak? Anyone who comprehends the Mountain Sword will be the Sword Master, but our Heavy Sword Peak will not have a Sword Master to outsiders," Boulder said loudly.
"Alright, since our Heavy Sword Peak has already won the Grand Competition of the Five Peaks, how we deal with the position of Sword Master is up to us. We'll leave the position empty and anger the Moonlight Peak to death, haha …" Peak Leader Yan was exceptionally happy.
Zhou Yang and Gai Yang looked at each other and smiled. Zhou Yang was especially happy.
Ever since his father's death and the Zhou Clan's collapse, he had become a loner, and the Heavy Sword Peak was like his first home. Whether it was the care of Peak Leader Yan and Elder Lie, or the sincere brotherly treatment, they had all given him a sense of belonging to the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect.
However, all good things must come to an end. Soon, he would leave the Heavy Sword Peak. Seeing such a scene in the Heavy Sword Peak made him feel less guilty.
At the very least, he had done some things.
"Zhou Yang, I know your heart is in the Royal Capital, and this is not a place for you to settle down. However, no matter what, the Heavy Sword Peak will always be your home," Gai Yang said in a low voice as he looked at Zhou Yang.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Zhou Yang nodded.
Gai Yang sighed, and a trace of sorrow could be seen in his eyes. "The path of martial arts is endless. Zhou Yang, I can only look up to your innate talent, and you will definitely become a powerhouse in the future. However, as your Senior Brother, I still want to remind you that the stronger you are, the more temptations and traps you will encounter. You must be extremely cautious with every step you take. You must not become a chess piece in the end …"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but be startled. Gai Yang's words caused him to feel a trace of coldness in this bustling hall, and it was as if a string in his mind had been pulled.
Chess piece …
He carefully recalled everything he had experienced, and he discovered that it was filled with strangeness and mystery.
What were infinite Astral Souls? Why did it appear on an ordinary person like him?
What was the Beast Fire Sutra? Why was he able to cultivate such a powerful sutra cultivation method? Even the royal family only cultivated the sutra level, and it was definitely not as powerful as the Beast Fire Sutra.
Was it only because of his mother? He didn't think it was that simple.
Also, the Magma Giant God Astral Soul had been placed under the Meteorite Tower for so long. Why was he the only one who saw it fuse?
What was the purpose of the Black Scale Cave's existence? That mysterious Lord seemed to know everything about the Black Scale Cave, but after the Black Scale Cave opened, it mysteriously disappeared.
And that mysterious black cat, why did it pay so much attention to him? Was it just because of the iron chain?
Almost everything that happened to him was not something he could understand. But in the end, he was at most the son of a general …
Greedy Soul once said that the black cat might want to plant a Dao Seed in him, but the purpose of the Dao Seed was to steal the Cultivation Fruit.
With the black cat's strength, it could find someone more talented, but why did it find him? Could it be that the black cat found something on him?
Was it the Qilin True Pattern?
He immediately denied it. The black cat definitely knew what the final inheritance of the Black Scale Cave was, because he was already there before the Black Scale Cave existed. With its ability, it could easily snatch the Qilin True Pattern after it escaped. Why would it go through so much trouble …
Now it seemed that the only explanation was infinite Astral Souls.
