On top of the mountain peak, the 12th Sword stood proudly and his Qi swept across the sky.
This caused the 18 Peak Masters of the Sword Sect to smile, and their faces were filled with praise.
Not everyone has the courage to speak behind the Elder of Nine Swords. Based on this alone, the 12th Sword was extraordinary.
"Not bad."
The Elder of Nine Swords nodded with a smile and shifted his gaze to the elder beside him, the Supreme Headmaster of the Sword House, "He is your last apprentice, the strongest descendant of this generation?"
Hearing this, the Sword House Supreme Headmaster nodded softly, finding it hard to conceal his pride.
"Not bad. You live up to your name." The Elder of Nine Swords complimented.
"Senior, you are flattering me."
The Sword House Supreme Headmaster smiled. The 12th Sword did the same.
If this was anyone else, he would've calmly looked at them. After all, he's heard countless compliments. But this time was different.
The one complimenting him was the Elder of Nine Swords. This was without a doubt, heavy like a mountain.
"Speak nicely. So many people are watching."
The Elder of Nine Swords smiled warmly. Then, he flashed and landed beside Ling Xian.
"Fan Tian is in isolation, so she couldn't come. She asked me to thank you on her behalf."
"Preparing to break through to the eighth level?" Ling Xian grinned.
"That's right. You probably provoked her."
The Elder of Nine Swords looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "That's good. With a goal to chase, one grows faster."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled and continued to chat with the Elder of Nine Swords.
This scene fell into everyone's eyes. They were having a great time.
Therefore, everyone revealed a look of jealousy. The 12th Sword's expression darkened.
He looked at Ling Xian deeply before leaping into the air and began his lecture.
If the Elder of Nine Swords was talking about swords, then he was talking about swords. The two were not on the same level.
However, based on his age and cultivation level, he was extraordinary.
Therefore, some swordsmen nodded with a smile and appreciation.
"He truly is a Heaven's Favorite and a genius swordsman."
"If nothing goes wrong, the next Supreme Headmaster will be him."
"Yeah, whether it's his cultivation or his foundation, he is the best of his generation. In the future, at the very least, he will be able to rule over a region. He may even become a God!"
Many swordsmen complimented and led the way.
For a time, the whole world was filled with praises for the Twelfth Sword, praising him to the point that he was rare in the heavens and difficult to find on earth.
Although it was an exaggeration, the Twelfth Sword indeed had the bearing of a supreme being. He was one of the most powerful monsters in Sacred City.
"Well done."
Looking at the Twelfth Sword who was the center of attention, the Sword Faction's headmaster looked gratified, and then he looked around and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to talk about the sword?"
No one answered for a long time.
Seeing this, the Sword Faction's Sect Leader smiled faintly and said, "Since no one wants to talk about the sword, then let's begin the second round of the Sword Discussion Conference, the sword test."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. The Sword Testing Conference was the highlight of the Sword Discussion Conference, and it was only inferior to the final comprehension of the sword.
"I know about lectures, but what is a sword trial?" Ling Xian looked at the Elder of Nine Abandonments.
"The sword trial is a martial arts competition …"
The Nine Swords Old Man was about to explain when he was interrupted by an ice-cold voice.
"Do you dare to fight me?"
The Twelfth Sword spoke emotionlessly. His sword appeared and pointed at Ling Xian.
The sharpness of the sword shocked everyone. At the same time, they had high expectations.
The Twelfth Sword's capabilities were without a doubt. He had the ability to defeat those of the same level. Though Ling Xian's capabilities were unknown, the fact that he was able to enter the Anatta State meant that he was not an ordinary person.
The battle between these two was something everyone was looking forward to.
"Not again …"
Ling Xian said helplessly, "Back at the Tower of Sealing Swords, I already rejected you."
"Back then, you could've rejected me. But now, you can't." The Twelfth Sword's eyes were cold. He desperately wanted to defeat Ling Xian and prove himself.
"I can't reject?"
Ling Xian frowned slightly. It was his freedom to accept or not. Why can't he reject?
"You really can't reject."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments smiled, "This is the rule of the Sword Discussion Conference. No matter who issues the challenge, the other party cannot reject. Unless you turn around and leave and give up on the sword technique."
"There's such a rule?" Ling Xian frowned. He finally understood why the Twelfth Sword said he would wait for him at the Sword Discussion Conference.
It turns out that issuing a challenge at the Sword Discussion Conference cannot be rejected.
"This is a rule left behind by the ancestors of the House of Swords. Nobody has the right to change it." The Elder of Nine Abandonments chuckled.
"So if I want to stay and learn from the sword technique, then I have to accept his challenge."
Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really didn't want to fight against the Twelfth Sword. It wasn't that he was afraid, it was that he didn't want to fight pointless battles.
But now, it seemed like he had to accept.
The Sword Discussion Conference only happens once every hundred years. If he misses it, he will have to wait another hundred years to learn from the sword technique.
That was something Ling Xian could not tolerate. Therefore, he decided to accept the challenge.
"Yes, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. As long as you accept the challenge, you can stay."
"Accept it. The sword competition only determines who is stronger and who is weaker, not life and death. So you don't have to worry."
"Plus, there are so many people watching. If you reject, then it would be considered a coward."
The Elder of Nine Abandonments looked at Ling Xian with a smile. He really wanted to see Ling Xian's capabilities.
"I don't care what everyone thinks. But because of this rule, I have to make a move."
"Oh well, I will make a few moves with you so you won't bother me again."
Ling Xian was helpless. The first sentence was meant for the Elder of Nine Abandonments, the second sentence was meant for the Twelfth Sword.
"You finally accepted the challenge."
The Twelfth Sword coldly glared at Ling Xian, "I thought you were going to hide like a turtle."
"A turtle?"
Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. To everyone else, he was afraid of the Twelfth Sword. But if it was someone who was familiar with his battle record, they wouldn't think that way.
The Shadow of the Ning Clan, Yu Jue Chen, the Saint of Calligraphy, which one of them was weaker than the Twelfth Sword?
The Twelfth Sword had no right to make him afraid!
"Think what you want. The reason why I accepted the challenge is because of the sword technique." Ling Xian grinned.
"Unless your skin is as thick as a wall, you will never be able to learn from the technique."
The Twelfth Sword spoke coldly. His sword pointed at Ling Xian and its sharpness lit up the universe.
"You mean, I will lose to you and I won't have the face to stay?"
Ling Xian grinned, "The one who will be embarrassed might not be me. Just like what happened at the Tower of Sealing Swords."
"You!"
Being poked at, the Twelfth Sword was infuriated. His sword shone and his killer's intent shot through the cloud.
"Let's fight. I really want to see if you, who are eager to prove you are stronger than me, truly have the capability."
Ling Xian erased his smile and stood up.
Instantly, a vast amount of energy poured out of him. Like a ferocious beast awakening, it shook the earth and swallowed the universe.
"What a terrifying aura!"
"He really is not a simple character. To have this much energy, it's not hard to imagine how powerful he is!"
"At the very least, he is one of the best of his generation. He is no weaker than the Twelfth Sword!"
Everyone exclaimed in awe and their anticipation increased.
"I will prove that I am stronger than you and more outstanding than you!"
The Twelfth Sword shouted coldly. His sword howled and split the sky.
The sharpness of it caused the expressions of even the renowned figures of the Sword Dao of the older generation to change.
However, Ling Xian's expression was normal and he was at ease.
He condensed the wind into a sword that pierced through the sky and stopped this sword.
