The moonlight was like water. In the backyard of the Cheng family, Zhou Wen looked at the sky quietly. He knew that there would be a huge battle tomorrow.
Jian Wuhen's strength had always been a mystery to the outside world. In the Tiangang Sword Sect, he was second only to the Third Prince, and his status was higher than Zhou Aotian and Nangong Ying. However, if that was all, it was nothing to be afraid of.
It was just that it was rumored that Jian Wuhen had not been baptized in the Myriad Spirit Spring when he was in the Tiangang Sword Sect.
The Myriad Spirit Spring was a spring that could rapidly increase a martial artist's cultivation level. It was very rare, and only the Myriad Sword Mountain Villa had it in the entire royal city.
It was said that after being baptized, one's cultivation level would increase by at least three levels, and the highest one could reach nine. The higher the level, the better.
Jian Wuhen's cultivation level in the Tiangang Sword Sect was already at the peak of the Mercury State, below Zhou Aotian and the others. That was why he was so terrifying.
He had become the Sword Master at the Mercury State, which was much stronger than people like Zhou Aotian.
Now that he had definitely been baptized in the Myriad Spirit Spring, his cultivation level was probably much higher than before …
That was also why many people said that Jian Wuhen had surpassed the eight prodigies and could enter the top 90 of the Rising Star List!
The eight prodigies of the south had been Zhou Yang's goal in the past, but now it seemed a little ridiculous.
He had already defeated Zhou Aotian, but he had not become one of the eight prodigies of the south. The reason was actually very simple — he had no one to back him up. If he was also on the Third Prince's side, he would have become one of the eight prodigies long ago.
As he was thinking, the surrounding wind suddenly blew, and the temperature gradually dropped. A corner of the bright moon in the sky had disappeared, and it continued to be swallowed by the darkness …
"Moon Devouring!"
Zhou Yang frowned. This was the first time he had seen a moon devouring …
He had only seen it in books before, and it was just a kind of astronomical phenomenon.
But now that he was in it, he realized that this astronomical phenomenon was actually affecting the spiritual power of heaven and earth …
"The spiritual power has thinned, and the Yin Death Qi has rebounded. Why is this happening …"
The Yin Death Qi was the complete opposite of spiritual power. The former represented death, and the latter represented life. Once the world was filled with the power of privacy, there would be no life in the world …
"I understand, so that's how it is …"
After a while, Zhou Yang's expression suddenly froze. He finally had a trace of comprehension towards the Moon Sword Dao that he had been unable to comprehend.
Originally, he thought that the reason why the Moon Sword Dao could not be grasped was because the moon represented yin. Women were of the yin attribute, and men were of the yang attribute. Therefore, those who cultivated the Moon Sword were all women.
Now he realized he was wrong.
There was Yin and Yang in the world, but Yin and Yang were not the same as the sun and the moon. The blazing sun was the extreme Yang of the world, but the bright moon was not the extreme Yin of the world, because extreme Yin represented death. This was what he learned when he inquired about Xiao He's body. Xiao He had an extreme Yin body, so it represented death …
"The light of the moon comes from the blazing sun. It doesn't represent yin, but gentleness …"
After Zhou Yang thought it through, he smiled. This was the reason why there were so many women in the Moon Sword Path.
A ray of light appeared in the pitch-black night, and a corner of the bright moon finally appeared. At this moment, Zhou Yang slowly closed his eyes.
…
The next morning, the sun had just risen.
Royal City Central Martial Arts Field.
The huge stone platform was covered with colorful flowers, and the entire martial arts field was hung with red 'happiness' characters. Although it was not time yet, there was already a huge crowd.
The Royal City's City Lord's granddaughter had a marriage alliance with the greatest clan in the south, the 10,000 Swords Mountain Villa. This was undoubtedly a grand occasion that was hard to come by in a hundred years. From the royal family to the common folk, everyone would be gathered here.
The sun had just risen, and the various great clans appeared one after another. In such an occasion, ordinary clans would not even have a seat. Even some of the great clans in the regional cities might only have a seat for the clan head. Only the true experts and the big shots of the great clans would be qualified to sit on the two viewing platforms.
"Dong, dong, dong …"
The drums rang out, and from the east of the martial arts field, a large group of people walked over slowly. At the front were two elderly men, and behind them were awe-inspiring elders and valiant young men and women.
"It's Old Master Tang and the 10,000 Swords Mountain Villa's Old Villa Lord. I didn't expect the two of them to be here personally. They are Disha Realm experts!"
Everyone was instantly excited. Many of them were only Martian Realm or even Saturn Realm martial artists. If it wasn't for today's occasion, they would probably never see a Disha Realm expert in their lifetime.
"Look, that's the Sword Prison City's Second Young Master. I heard that he has been nominated as one of the new Eight Prodigies to replace Young Master Jian Wuhen …"
"Isn't that so. Young Master Jian Wuhen's ability has already surpassed the Eight Prodigies. He should have gone to the Imperial City long ago. If it wasn't for Young Mistress Tang Yuewu, he wouldn't have stayed here."
"Who are those people beside the Sword Prison City? Why haven't I seen them before?" A person looked at the few people beside the Sword Prison City and asked doubtfully.
"Ignorant. Those are Nangong Ying and Zhou Aotian of the Eight Prodigies. They are both Sword Masters of the Tiangang Sword Sect. They have left the Tiangang Sword Sect and are preparing to enter the Imperial City …"
"Look, it's the Imperial City's General Star student and the Confucian Institution's genius …"
Just as everyone was discussing the Tang Clan and the 10,000 Swords Mountain Villa, someone suddenly pointed to the other side and exclaimed.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a large group of young men and women striding over. On the left side, all of them wore golden battle robes, while on the right side, all of them wore white robes and folded fans …
"Which young mistress from the Confucian Institution is that? She's so beautiful …" someone shouted while looking at Wen Xiyu.
"That's the Wen Clan of the Imperial City. Do you know the Xu and Wen Clan of the Confucian Institution? How ignorant."
"Wen Zhihuan is an expert ranked 93rd on the Rising Star List of the Imperial City, and Xu Yechen is ranked 92nd. They are both powerful figures in the Imperial City."
"Apart from Young Master Jian Wuhen, their ability is absolutely unrivalled in the Imperial City. It's a pity that we won't be able to see them fight …"
Everyone was discussing fervently. Not long after, a few more waves of people arrived. It wasn't until all the important figures had sat down that people realized that there were still a few empty seats.
There were still important figures today …
"Zhao Wuhou of the Imperial City's Wu Hou Mansion has arrived …"
A loud shout was heard. Zhao Wuhou walked in from outside the crowd with a loud laugh. The Old Master of the 10,000 Swords Mountain Villa and Old Master Tang personally stood up.
But before the three of them could speak, another shout came from outside.
"Imperial City's Xu Clan's Second Master has arrived …"
The Xu Clan's Second Master?
Everyone was confused. They had only heard of the Xu Clan's Old Master in the Imperial City, but they had never heard of the Xu Clan's Second Master …
"So it's him …"
In the crowd, Ding Mei and the magpie girl frowned. The person who had arrived was the Xu Clan's Xu Zhentian.
At this moment, Xu Zhentian's face was full of smiles, and his withered body now looked very sturdy …
