The Moonless Sword Orb circled around the main hall a few times and shined with a bright light. With a clear shout, it returned to Liu Yanyi's side. (- <
> -dot)
She pointed with her slender finger, and the sword orb turned into a ball of light that was as cold as the moon. It floated three feet away from her without moving.
Then, she bowed to Qi Mengjiao in front of her and said in a serious tone, "Thanks to Senior Sister Qi's guidance these past few days, this little sister has really benefited a lot."
In the blink of an eye, eighteen days had passed. In another two days, it would be the Mystic Light Realm disciples' competition in the sect.
In these past few days, Liu Yanyi had been staying with Qi Mengjiao. This girl had been cultivating under Qi Yuntian's tutelage for a hundred years, and her knowledge and cultivation were far above Liu Yanyi's. Therefore, Liu Yanyi had benefited a lot from asking Qi Mengjiao for advice.
Qi Mengjiao sat on a praying mat and carefully looked at Liu Yanyi. A look of admiration appeared in her beautiful eyes as she said, "Junior Sister, it's really not easy for you to cultivate the flying sword to this level with just the Righteous Sword Scripture. I'm sure Martial Uncle Zhang is very happy to have such a good disciple. Among the people of the same generation in the sect, it's probably hard for you to find a match. As for those who are even more amazing, you'll have to wait until you reach a higher level before you can meet them."
Speaking of this topic, Liu Yanyi's interest was piqued. She also sat on a praying mat and sat across from Qi Mengjiao. She asked, "This little sister knows very little about this. I'd like to ask sister, which people in my Qincang School are famous for their swordsmanship?"
Qi Mengyan raised her eyebrows and thought for a while before saying, "In terms of the best swordsmanship in our sect, it should be Luo Qichen, Spiritual Master Luo. However, he has been in seclusion for nearly two hundred years and hasn't shown himself for a long time. I've never seen him either."
"Next is Xun Yihe, Spiritual Master Xun. Rumor has it that his swordsmanship is on par with Spiritual Master Luo's. Other than these two, there's Luo Yuanhua, who is known as the 'Sword Immortal'. This person is Spiritual Master Luo's son. He and Xiao Chuo, one of the top ten disciples of the sect, are disciples of Spiritual Master Han Zaiyang, but that's just a title. This person is extremely obsessed with the flying sword. He is very talented and has gone to the Shaoqing Sect many times to learn swordsmanship. If Martial Uncle Zhang shows himself in the competition, he will most likely come."
When Liu Yanyi heard this, she couldn't help but feel slightly worried in her heart, and she thought to herself, I didn't expect that the opponent Master has to face would actually be so formidable. I wonder if he can deal with it.
Although she was Zhang Yan's disciple, Zhang Yan had never fought with her, and he usually only gave her guidance verbally. With her own master's true strength, she didn't know much more than others, so it wasn't surprising for her to be worried.
At this moment, Qi Mengjiao seemed to have recalled something and said, "There's another person whose swordsmanship is profound as well. His name is Zhao Guangwu, and he's Luo Yuanhua's brother-in-law. He has also received guidance from Spiritual Master Luo on many occasions. The reason why he isn't well known in the sect is mostly because he has a gentle temperament and is overshadowed by his brother. Coupled with the fact that he has been in seclusion all these years, he has been gradually forgotten. However, my master once said that we must never underestimate this person, or we will suffer greatly."
Liu Yanyi nodded. As a disciple, she already wanted to go back and tell her master about what she heard here so that she could be prepared.
After thinking for a moment, she asked curiously, "Just Now, Senior Sister mentioned that Luo Yuanhua had once gone to the Shaoqing Sect to seek guidance. Junior Sister has also heard from my master that among all the sects, only the Shaoqing Sect's swordsmanship is the most brilliant. Senior Sister Qi has cultivated for a long time, I wonder how far my current swordsmanship is from the Shaoqing Sect's disciples of the same generation?"
Qi Mengjiao revealed a pondering expression, and she slowly said, "Master has also met many Shaoqing Sect disciples in the past. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I'm afraid Junior Sister is still far inferior."
Liu Yanyi was not surprised. She had not practiced swordsmanship for a long time, and she admitted that she was probably not a match for the Shaoqing Sect's disciples of the same generation. However, she did not expect Qi Mengjiao to say the words' far inferior '.
Qi Mengjiao smiled and went forward to hold her hand, comforting her, "Sister, there's no need to be depressed. The Shaoqing Sect only has over a thousand people, and they have the least number of people among the ten sects of Xuanmen. However, all of their disciples are proficient in swordsmanship. Just based on the Separation and Reunion Technique alone, any direct disciple of the Shaoqing Sect will be able to learn it. Therefore, any one of them can't be underestimated."
The ten major sects of Xuanmen did not refer to the number of people, but their inheritance and strength.
The reason why the Shaoqing Sect could remain as the number one sect of Xuanmen was because their disciples were the most powerful, and no one dared to stop.
Moreover, the competition within the sect was also the cruelest in Xuanmen.
There were only around a hundred direct disciples in the Shaoqing Sect. If they were to compete with each other every month and over the years, those who were not strong would immediately be defeated and fall into the dust, losing their identity as direct disciples. They might even lose their lives.
Liu Yanyi was also shocked after hearing Qi Mengjiao's words. She had always treated Yuan Yanhui as her greatest opponent and her target. However, after hearing about the Shaoqing Sect, it was as if a door had been opened, and she saw a wider world. In that instant, her slightly impetuous state of mind suddenly calmed down, as if a layer of obstruction had been removed. It was as if she had been cleansed by clear water, and her spirit was clear.
Qi Mengjiao also seemed to have sensed the changes in her body. She could not help but open her beautiful eyes and look over in surprise.
After Liu Yanyi sat quietly for a moment, a slight smile suddenly appeared on her delicate face. At that moment, she felt a strange feeling in the depths of her heart, as if she had some kind of resonance with the Moonless Sword Pill.
When the feeling became clearer, her body trembled slightly, and the sword pill also trembled, giving off a buzzing sound. Then, it suddenly leaped into the air, and instantly turned into two balls of sword light. The two balls of sword light spun in the air, then merged and separated, turning into four balls of light that swayed in the air.
At that moment, Liu Yanyi seemed to be unaware of it. Her expression was calm, and the light in her eyes was restrained. She seemed to have fallen into a strange realm, comprehending the mysterious spiritual sense that came from nowhere.
Qi Mengjiao never thought that Liu Yanyi would actually be enlightened under her eyes and comprehend the "Light Separation and Reunion Technique". Looking at this scene, her eyes were filled with splendor, and she was filled with emotions.
But she also knew that this was the most important moment for Liu Yanyi, and she could not be disturbed in the slightest. Thus, she lightly cast a technique and closed the door of the hall. She also held her breath and concentrated, not making a single sound.
The four balls of light flew in the air, sometimes slow, and sometimes slow. After circling dozens of times, they trembled at the same time, and each of them split into a ball of light.
At that moment, Liu Yanyi's eyelids trembled, and she retreated from that comprehension.
She raised her head and saw the eight sword pellets leaping around in the air. She couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the corner of her lips.
Qi Mengjiao shook her head. She could not help but sigh at Liu Yanyi's high aptitude and good luck. After listening to a speech, she actually comprehended something before the competition and broke through.
She thought to herself, "Light Separation and Reunion, eight swords in one breath. In Uncle-Master Zhang's sect, there are actually two sword cultivators. In the future, his rise will be unstoppable."
At this moment, in the Clear Nether Heavenly Lake, Zhang Yan, who was sitting on the jade couch, suddenly felt something and opened his eyes.
Just now, he could faintly feel that something had changed in the body of someone close to him, but he had no way of knowing what exactly it was.
He thought about it for a while. There were only two days left until the competition of the Xuan Light Realm cultivators, and his disciple Liu Yanyi was going to fight. As her master, he had to go and watch the ceremony and support her.
Thinking up to there, he stood up and stepped out of the formation door. He turned into a streak of smoke and flew toward the sect.
Who knew that before he could go far, a cluster of jade-green sword lights leaped up and blocked his way. Someone said, "Sir, please wait!"
Zhang Yan stopped and looked up with his hands behind his back. He saw a pale-faced young Daoist standing in front of him. He looked like a weak scholar.
However, that light just now was clearly a sword escape technique, so he couldn't help but be wary. He went through this person's appearance in his mind, but he still couldn't guess his identity. He said in a deep voice, "Who are you, and why are you blocking my path?"
This young Daoist didn't lack etiquette. He bowed to Zhang Yan and said, "Are you Senior Brother Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan?"
Zhang Yan raised his hand to return the bow and said, "Yes, it is me."
This young Daoist coughed and revealed a humble smile. He said, "This one is Zhao Guangwu, I have been waiting for Senior Brother Zhang for fifteen days."
Zhang Yan had never heard of this person's name. When he heard that this person had been waiting for him for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Daoist Zhao is looking for me, may I ask why?"
Zhao Guangwu cupped his hands in a seemingly gentle manner, and then his words contained a hint of sharpness. "I've been immersed in the Dao of the flying sword for many years. It's only because I heard that Senior Brother Zhang is also skilled in this Dao that I've come to challenge you. If I'm able to defeat Senior Brother by a stroke of luck, it would be able to strengthen my reputation."
Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes. He immediately noticed that this person's words weren't true.
Not to mention that the sword light just now had no sharpness, this person's aura, spirit, and will didn't have the slightest intention to fight. He said indifferently, "Senior Brother Zhao, you don't mean what you say."
Zhao Guangwu's body shook slightly, and he revealed an embarrassed expression of being exposed. He sighed in self-mockery and said, "I can't hide it from Senior Brother Zhang. Fine, I will tell the truth to Senior Brother Zhang. I have wasted a hundred years in the sect, and I don't have any desire to win. This time, I was asked by someone to stop Senior Brother Zhang here."
Zhang Yan nodded and asked, "Can you tell me this person's identity?"
Zhao Guangwu shook his head lightly.
Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said, "So, Daoist Zhao wants to fight me?"
Zhao Guangwu said with a serious expression, "Senior Brother Zhang, this person actually doesn't have any ill intentions towards you. He just doesn't want Senior Brother Zhang to make an appearance during the competition in the sect so as to avoid getting injured. Now that we've spoken up to this point, it's inconvenient for me to say anything more. If Senior Brother Zhang can turn back now and swear not to leave the sect until the competition ends, then I'll immediately turn around and return to the estate, and I can avoid a pointless fight between the two of us!"
Zhang Yan roared with laughter, and his voice was like a thunderclap as he said, "Daoist Brother's words are wrong. How could I be willing to miss an expert like you to test my sword before the competition!? If Daoist Brother Zhao sees that person in the future, then you must thank him on my behalf! "
Zhao Guangwu's expression changed, and he said, "Senior Brother Zhang, we're all from the same sect, so why fight over and over again? It's best if we can end it peacefully."
Zhang Yan's face flushed, and he said, "The path to the Grand Dao is one where you fight for it, so how can it tolerate the slightest bit of dodging and giving way? Now that you're blocking my path, you're my great enemy. There's no need to say anything else, let's see who's the real deal! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he urged his mind, and a sword light shot out from between his eyebrows, and it shot towards Zhao Guangwu like a flash of lightning!
