"Next."
Jian Ni said slowly as he looked up and swept his gaze across the crowd.
Seeing Jian Ni's gaze, many of them had the thought of evading his gaze. This assessment was too terrifying in their opinion. Two out of three sword cultivators had actually fallen.
Those who could reach the Celestial Realm had gone through countless life-and-death battles and obtained heaven-shaking opportunities to achieve their current strength. No one wanted to die.
However, there was no way out at this moment. Since they gave up on leaving, they had already given up on all of their paths of retreat.
"The inheritance assessment of the Supreme Sword Sect is truly terrifying."
Chu Fengmian couldn't help but murmur.
Three Immortal Generals had entered the assessment, and two of them had actually fallen. This was truly terrifying. In most of the Star Domains, there might not be an Immortal General expert falling even after tens of thousands of years.
Even in the Nine Domains, except for this bloody battle for the Supreme Sword Execution Token Chart, which had caused many Immortal Generals to fall, the fall of an Immortal General expert was already an earth-shattering event.
It was likely that more than half of the people present would die in this test.
"That's nothing. In the Upper Sword Sect's examination, there were many who died in the first round. This time, I'm afraid the Upper Sword Sect lowered the difficulty of the examination to let you all pass. Otherwise, with just you few Immortal Generals, none of you could pass."
Xing Xuan suddenly spoke in Chu Fengmian's mind.
"What? Even Immortal Generals couldn't pass the first assessment? Is that true? "
Chu Fengmian was incomparably shocked after hearing Xing Xuan's words.
"Of course it's true. Do you think that the inheritance of the Supreme Sword Sect is that easy to obtain? You should know that in that era, whoever obtained the inheritance of the Supreme Sword Sect would inherit the position of the Supreme Sword Sect's Sect Master and become the Lord of the Nine Domains. The assessment at that time was much more difficult than now."
Xing Xuan said coldly.
"The current Shang Sword Sect has been destroyed for tens of thousands of years. Although a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and the Shang Sword Sect has left behind a lot of backups, its current strength is less than one ten-thousandth of its peak."
"This assessment is also much simpler. In my opinion, I'm afraid that the Shang Sword Sect's trump cards are about to be used up. That's why they urgently chose a successor this time. After all, the Shang Sword Sect doesn't want to wait for the day when the Tianjiu Region appears and the swordsmanship will be obtained by the people of the Tianjiu Region."
"You don't want the people from the Tianjiu Region to get you and go to the Sword Sect. Do you have a grudge with the Tianjiu Region?"
Chu Fengmian was stunned by Xing Xuan's words. He had never heard of such an ancient secret.
His understanding of the Sword Sect came from the records in the ancient books. However, most of the records about the Sword Sect were only a few words. As for such ancient secrets, it was naturally impossible for them to be recorded.
"Of course, it's related. The Shang Sword Sect can be said to have been destroyed in the hands of the Tianjiu Region. For the Shang Sword Sect, some forces of the Tianjiu Region can be said to be their enemies. Do you think the Shang Sword Sect will be willing to hand over their inheritance to their enemies?"
Xing Xuan smiled coldly.
"Now that the Tianjiu Region is about to appear, the Shang Sword Sect doesn't dare to hide anymore. After all, if they continue to hide, they won't be able to hide anymore when the Tianjiu Region appears. Therefore, they can only choose a successor urgently. This time, they lowered the standard."
"Boy, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. If you want to create the world's best swordsmanship, you must obtain the inheritance of the Shang Sword Sect. Not only the Peerless Sword Book, but also the countless ancient swordsmanship in the Shang Sword Sect. It will be of great benefit to your Nine Regions Swordsmanship."
Xing Xuan was very familiar with Chu Fengmian's cultivation method and swordsmanship. After all, when Chu Fengmian was just reborn, he met Xing Xuan.
It could be said that Xing Xuan had seen Chu Fengmian's strength grow step by step. He knew Chu Fengmian's countless trump cards very well.
"This time, the Shang Sword Sect lowered the standard of the assessment. You have a great chance to obtain the inheritance."
"I know."
Chu Fengmian nodded in his heart. He was well aware of the importance of the Shang Sword Sect's inheritance to the Nine Regions Swordsmanship. Therefore, he came this time to compete for the inheritance of the Shang Sword Sect.
Chu Fengmian looked at Jian Ni, waiting for him to appear.
However, this time, Jian Ni's gaze did not stop on Chu Fengmian. Instead, it finally fell on Brilliant Void Sky Piercer, who was beside Chu Fengmian.
"You go this time."
Jian Ni pointed at the right passage and said.
Brilliant Void Sky Piercer did not hesitate. He stepped into the passage and his figure disappeared into the darkness.
"The right passage again. What's going on? What's the use of the left passage? "
Chu Fengmian suddenly noticed that four people, starting from Blood Shadow Sword Venerate, had entered the right passage.
There were a total of two passages, one on the left and one on the right. They were symmetrical and it seemed like they could be entered for the assessment.
However, the four sword cultivators had entered the right passage. As for the left passage, it seemed as though Jian Ni had forgotten about it.
"The left passage definitely wouldn't appear for no reason. However, I don't know who exactly can enter it. Could it be that only those chosen by Jian Ni are qualified to enter?"
Chu Fengmian suddenly thought of Jian Ni's existence.
If it was just an assessment, Jian Ni might not have needed to show up. After all, once the passage opened, everyone would definitely enter it.
However, when Jian Ni appeared, he would guide everyone into different passageways. Furthermore, when someone passed the test, Jian Ni's expression would reveal some satisfaction.
Coupled with Jian Ni's previous words, it was likely that the person who obtained the Shang Sword Sect's inheritance would be related to Jian Ni.
Hua Jianzun's death had overturned all the previous guesses.
Magnificent Flame Sword Venerate's strength and potential were extremely similar to Sword Qin's. However, Sword Qin passed while Magnificent Flame Sword Venerate died.
There seemed to be a layer of fog shrouding the passage, making it impossible for anyone to guess.
"Strange. This is too strange."
"What exactly is in this passage?"
Many of the sword cultivators present had gained confidence after seeing Sword Qin Enlightened Cultivator pass the test. But with the death of the Magnificent Flame Swordmaster, their confidence was shattered.
"The examinee is dead."
Jian Ni was expressionless. He did not care about the discussions of the crowd. He was like a cold machine.
It was as though the only thing that concerned him was hosting the assessment. The death of others had nothing to do with him.
