(Fourth Update)
The leaves were like swords, swaying in the wind. They did not make a rustling sound, but rather the sound of metal clashing. It was as if tens of thousands of swords were fighting against each other. As the sound entered one's ears, there was an astonishing murderous aura that permeated every inch of the air.
This made Chen Zong very surprised. He had never seen such a place before.
No, this place was not very special. There was a small path ahead, and it was very ordinary. What was unusual was the bamboo on both sides. The leaves were like swords, and the sound of metal clashing came from the bamboo leaves.
No matter what words were used to describe the murderous aura of a sword master, no matter what method was used to cover it up, it could not change the fact that it was a sharp weapon for killing.
Chen Zong liked the aura here very much.
The sound of the bamboo leaves swaying in the wind was like the sound of killing.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a huge circular platform floating. Around the platform, there were many small sword pavilions floating.
There were people on each of the sword pavilions.
Some of the small sword pavilions were close to each other and surrounded each other. It was obvious that they were people from the same force or had a good relationship with each other. For example, the Heavenly Punishment Army, Fengling Sect, Yiyuan Sect, and so on were the three largest sword pavilions.
The people in the sword pavilions were the people who had broken through the Path of Sword Qi and entered the Dongting Sword Garden. There were already more than 100 people.
"Oh, someone else has come in."
"It seems that there are still some good people in the Yiyuan Sect."
Along the path, Chen Zong kept walking forward, carefully listening to the sound of the bamboo leaves and feeling the pure murderous aura of the sword.
The murderous aura entered Chen Zong's ears. Little by little, it seemed to enter Chen Zong's Spirit Sea and into his body, and some kind of indescribable change occurred.
It was just that this change was very subtle and difficult to feel.
Walking to the end of the path, Chen Zong saw the huge platform floating in the air and the small sword pavilions around it.
Soon after, as the sounds of killing grew louder and louder, they seemed to be closing in on Chen Zong. They were leaves that looked like swords. They danced in the wind and surrounded Chen Zong.
They were densely packed and connected with each other. In the end, they formed a small sword pavilion. It carried Chen Zong's body into the air and appeared beside the huge circular platform.
This was a little strange, but Chen Zong did not show any surprise.
Everyone's gazes swept over and landed on Chen Zong's face, as if they were trying to see through him.
In the face of so many curious or malicious gazes, Chen Zong appeared very calm and indifferent, as if he had not noticed anything.
"Is he Chen Zong?" In the sword pavilion of Yi Yuan Sect, there was a young man who looked somewhat similar to Mu Yu. However, he looked more mature. When he looked at Chen Zong, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. In the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be traces of lightning flashing.
"Senior Mu Lei, he is Chen Zong." Slanted Wind Sword replied.
"Very well." Mu Lei sneered and retracted his gaze.
Slanted Wind Sword shook his head. Senior Mu Lei was the brother of Drizzle Sword, Mu Yu. He was the last generation's true disciple of Sword Palace and had been training outside. Now that Dongting Sword Garden was open, he rushed back.
Among the last generation's true disciples, Mu Lei was ranked second. As for his current strength, he was even stronger than the current number one true disciple of Sword Palace, Sword of No Return.
Mu Yu was injured, especially mentally. She had doubts about her own path of swordsmanship. If she could not overcome it, it would affect her life and she would not be able to make any progress. She might not even be able to maintain her previous combat strength.
To any cultivator, it was no different than death.
Mu Lei would definitely take revenge for his brother's death.
Zhu Qing stared at Chen Zong and let out a creepy smile.
Not long after, someone else arrived. It was the man with three swords on his back. He was originally ranked tenth on the Secondary Divine Leaderboard in Second World Suppression City. Now, he was ranked eleventh, Sanjue Sword.
Sanjue Sword glanced around. When he saw Chen Zong, he let out a provocative smile.
Shortly after, Xiao Jianting flew up and landed beside Chen Zong.
After a while, another person stepped into the Sword Garden.
Chen Zong was slightly stunned. Soon after, he let out a smile.
Lin Weiyin!
It was Lin Weiyin.
Logically speaking, Lin Weiyin was talented and her swordsmanship was not bad. However, compared to the others, she was not good enough.
In fact, Lin Weiyin was not strong enough to pass the Path of Sword Qi. Under normal circumstances, she would stop at the third test, Sword Heart.
However, in the third test, Sword Heart, although Lin Weiyin was tempted by various powerful swordsmanship, she rejected them at the last moment.
This was because there was only one thought in her mind. Or rather, it was obsession.
"Chen Zong will definitely be able to enter the Sword Garden. I want to enter the Sword Garden too."
The power of obsession was sometimes very scary.
Under such obsession, Lin Weiyin instinctively rejected all the swordsmanship teachings and passed the third test, Sword Heart.
Although examples like Lin Weiyin were not unheard of, they were extremely rare.
It could be said that it was luck, but it was also a kind of ability.
Without extraordinary spiritual perception and obsession, Lin Weiyin would not be able to pass the Three Questions of Swordsmanship and enter the Dongting Sword Garden if she lacked either of them.
Looking around, Lin Weiyin saw Chen Zong and was instantly delighted.
Soon, Lin Weiyin's Xiao Jianting was close to Chen Zong. The two Xiao Jianting Pavilions were almost side by side. However, the Xiao Jianting Pavilions were independent and could not be merged into one. Otherwise, many people would have merged the Xiao Jianting Pavilions together.
Waiting. Everyone was waiting.
When everyone entered the Xiao Jianting Pavilions, they already knew that they could not attack the people in the other Xiao Jianting Pavilions.
Those who violated the rules would be expelled from the Dongting Sword Garden and lose this opportunity.
This was also the reason why Mu Lei did not attack even though he wanted to take revenge for his brother Mu Yu.
Although there were not many swordsmen left, there were still some who had yet to attempt the Path of Sword Qi.
After some time, the swordsmen around the Dongting Sword Garden had finally passed the Path of Sword Qi.
Two hundred people!
A total of two hundred people had entered the Dongting Sword Garden.
There were tens of thousands of swordsmen in several galaxies and three galactic forces. However, only two hundred people had passed the Path of Sword Qi and passed the Three Questions of Swordsmanship. This showed how difficult it was.
There were more than tens of thousands of swordsmen in several galaxies. There were more than a thousand of them. However, only these tens of thousands of swordsmen were able to make it. They were considered the more outstanding ones.
This meant that due to various factors such as distance, void currency, and so on, these were the only ones who could make it. They were considered the better ones. At least in the overall situation, they were above average. A few of them were even above average.
For example, a few from the Heavenly Punishment Army and the Fengling Sect.
Another example would be the top ten geniuses on the various Demigod rankings.
Therefore, the two hundred people in the Dongting Sword Garden could represent the top and even top Demigod swordsmen in several galaxies.
The Dongting Sword Garden was all about opportunity, or rather, fate.
If one of them appeared in the Yiyuan galaxy, that would be the fate of the swordsmen in the Yiyuan galaxy. If the swordsmen from other galaxies could make it here, that would also be their fate.
Those who couldn't make it here for various reasons could also be attributed to their lack of fate.
Fate was very important.
Even if the Dongting Sword Master's temperament was different from other experts and he had a wide range of disciples, there was still a limit.
The Dongting Sword Garden was only open for a limited time. Making it here and entering before the opening time was equivalent to obtaining the opportunity, or rather, the key to the opportunity.
On the other hand, if one couldn't make it here before the opening time, they would have lost the opportunity.
After a few more days, no one else made it here.
The gate of the Dongting Sword Garden began to close.
"Has it closed?"
"I wonder what's going on inside?"
The swordsmen who failed the Path of Sword Qi and those who couldn't because they weren't swordsmen watched from outside. They were very curious about what the Sword Conference in the Dongting Sword Garden was like.
The crowd outside the Sword Garden was very curious. The crowd inside the Sword Garden was also very curious.
Because the outside world's understanding of the Dongting Sword Garden was actually limited to the Three Questions of Sword Principle.
As for what the so-called Sword Conference was after entering the garden, no one knew.
Those who had entered the Sword Garden before didn't spread any news.
Perhaps there were some restrictions.
In the center of many sword pavilions, on a huge circular platform, a light shadow appeared.
The light shadow was white and misty. It seemed to be a human figure, but it also seemed to be a sword shadow. It couldn't be distinguished clearly and was very strange.
"There are a total of 200 people who have passed the Three Questions of Sword Principle and entered the garden. Congratulations." The misty white light shadow made a sound, overlapping, like the sound of metal clashing. It directly penetrated into everyone's ears. "But don't be happy too early. You've just stood out from a group of nonentities. You've just obtained the entrance ticket to the Opportunity."
Many people frowned when they were described as ants. Displeasure appeared on their faces.
But they didn't do anything. They just listened quietly.
"You've disappointed me. You've been called nonentities by me, but no one has drawn their swords. You're not brave at all. It's not fun at all." The misty white light shadow made a slightly disappointed and mocking remark.
It seemed that it did it on purpose.
"Since that's the case, you've all heard it. I'll only say it once."
"The rules of the Sword Garden's Sword Conference are that all of your powers will be temporarily sealed. All of your Magical Sword Techniques will also be ineffective."
Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they heard this.
Although it was temporary, if all of their powers were sealed and ineffective, wouldn't they become ordinary people?
From possessing great power to becoming an ordinary person, it was undoubtedly falling from heaven to hell.
Who could bear it?
Even if it was temporary, it didn't seem to include the Sword Intent. It still retained a part of its power.
"Including the Sword Principle and Dao Intent that you've mastered, it will also be sealed."
The white light shadow's words made everyone's expressions turn even uglier.
If even the Sword Principle and Dao Intent were sealed, then they would be completely reduced to ordinary people.
"Don't worry, you still have a good Basic Sword Technique," the white light shadow said with a smile. It seemed to have some mischief.
Basic Sword Technique!
Could it be that it intended to let everyone fight with the Basic Sword Technique and then eliminate some people and leave some people behind? Survival of the fittest?
It seemed to be possible.
