(What's wrong with having a low fever?)
A heated debate was going on in the Senior Statesman Hall.
"Nowadays, the Infernal Order and the Purgatory Sect are harming the universe and killing countless people. At this time, we should be wary of the Avici Purgatory and targeting our Taihao Mountain. How can we allow internal strife?" the tenth senior statesman snorted angrily.
"Internal strife?" Senior Statesman Nine sneered and asked, "Senior Statesman Ten, the Peak Ascension Battle is very important to our Taihao Mountain. How dare you call it internal strife? Are you trying to stop Tianguang Peak's ascension just because you're from Gulan Peak?"
"You …" the tenth senior statesman was furious. "You're being unreasonable. I'm just stating the facts."
"Yes, I'm stating the facts. What does the Peak Ascension Battle have to do with internal strife?" the ninth senior statesman asked with a sneer.
To be honest, the tenth senior statesman was indeed selfish. He was from Gulan Peak, so of course he would be biased toward Gulan Peak.
Even though he felt that Tianguang Peak couldn't win the Peak Ascension Battle, it would be best if the Peak Ascension Battle didn't happen. Otherwise, if Gulan Peak were to be defeated, it would be a heavy blow to their reputation.
However, the tenth senior statesman's intentions were exposed. He couldn't just stop the Peak Ascension Battle from happening. In this Senior Statesman Conference, no senior statesman had the right to make a decision. They could only offer their own opinions and so on.
In the end, if more than half of the senior statesmen agreed to the Peak Ascension Battle, it had to be held.
There were thirteen senior statesmen in the Senior Statesman Hall. In other words, as long as seven senior statesmen agreed, the Peak Ascension Battle could be held.
The Peak Ascension Battle was a rule of Taihao Mountain. Under normal circumstances, no one would deliberately stop it. In the end, out of the thirteen senior statesmen, the tenth senior statesman voted against the Peak Ascension Battle. Two senior statesmen gave up, and nine of the remaining ten senior statesmen voted for the Peak Ascension Battle.
This was nine to four. Without any objections, the Peak Ascension Battle could be held.
The time was set to be three months later.
Soon, Gulan Peak and Tianguang Peak also received the notice that the Peak Ascension Battle would be held three months later. Three months was the time to prepare.
…
"Tianguang Peak is really daring to participate in the Battle of Peak Ascension," a swordsman in the Great Emperor State on Gulan Peak said angrily.
"Of course they have guts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been against us all these years." Another Martial Monarch sneered.
"Since Tianguang Peak dares to propose the Battle of Peak Ascension, they must have some confidence in winning." The third swordsman in the Great Emperor State sneered, but he didn't seem worried at all.
After all, the Gu Lan Peak enjoyed better resources after becoming one of the eight peaks. Plus, the bloodline of the Lan Hai Sect was very powerful, so their strength had improved tremendously over the past ten thousand years. Therefore, even though Tianguang Peak proposed the Battle of Peak Ascension, they didn't fear it, but thought it would be troublesome.
"Since that's the case, we'll completely end their hopes this time around."
The swordsmen of the Gu Lan Peak in the State of the Great Emperor discussed among themselves what kind of formation they should form to resist the attack of Tianguang Peak and suppress Tianguang Peak completely, so that they wouldn't have the courage to fight against Gu Lan Peak in the future.
After all, they were not allowed to do so under normal circumstances. Otherwise, they would violate the rules of Taihao Mountain.
The Battle of Peak Ascension was obviously a good opportunity to do so.
The rules of the Battle of Peak Ascension were fixed. Therefore, within the rules, they had to form the best formation to resist the attack and win the Battle of Peak Ascension.
According to the rules of Taihao Mountain, after the Battle of Peak Ascension, no matter who won or lost, no one was allowed to propose the Battle of Peak Ascension within one thousand years. If other peaks wanted to propose the Battle of Peak Ascension, they couldn't choose these two peaks.
One thousand years was a buffer time.
…
On Tianguang Peak, Chen Zong received the notice that the Battle of Peak Ascension would begin in three months, and Chen Zong was selected as a member of the Fourth State.
"The Battle of Peak Ascension …" Chen Zong thought to himself, and his eyes grew brighter.
There were many books and records in the Library of Sword Scriptures. Chen Zong read them all the time to increase his knowledge. At the same time, he found a Sun Realm sword method to cultivate and comprehend. He wanted to master it before the Battle of Peak Ascension, so it would be best if he could unleash its power.
In addition, Chen Zong also browsed through the divine methods of Tianguang Peak.
However, there were not many divine methods on Tianguang Peak, and most of them were incomplete. The only complete method was the unique inheritance of Tianguang Peak, the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Method.
After further reading, Chen Zong found that the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Method was not as simple as it seemed. What he cultivated was only the most basic Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Method, and there was an advanced Sword-Drawing Method on top of that.
If the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Method that Chen Zong cultivated was at the level of an ordinary divine sword method, then the advanced Sword-Drawing Method would be an even more powerful divine sword method.
Unfortunately, with Chen Zong's current ability, he could not cultivate and master the advanced Sword-Drawing Method even if he knew about it. After all, the minimum requirement was to cultivate the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Method to the perfect state before he could cultivate the advanced Sword-Drawing Method. Otherwise, he would not be able to master the advanced Sword-Drawing Method.
When Chen Zong learned of this, he was also very surprised. The power of the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Technique was already very strong, but it was only at the basic stage of the Sword-Drawing Technique. The more this was the case, the more profound and powerful the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Technique was.
As for now, although Chen Zong's Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Method had broken through the surface and reached a higher state, there was still a huge gap between it and the perfect state. At least, Chen Zong could not cultivate the Heavenly Light Sword-Drawing Method to the perfect state in a short period of time. Not to mention the perfect state, he could not even achieve the perfect state. There was a limit to the state.
In three months, although his strength had reached the peak of the fourth state and could not be improved any further, there was still hope for him to further improve his swordsmanship and unique methods.
There was no limit to how strong one could be. No one would complain about being stronger.
Not long after, the candidates to participate in the Battle of Peak Ascension had all been selected. After all, Tianguang Peak had been preparing for the Battle of Peak Ascension for many years, so they already knew who to choose.
…
"This time, Chen Zong will be the leader of the fourth state duel in the Battle of Peak Ascension." The Tianguang Peak Lord's gaze swept over the crowd and finally fell on Chen Zong. "The ninety-nine of you must follow Chen Zong's orders and follow his lead. Assist him with all your might to win the fourth state duel."
"Yes," one by one, they responded immediately.
Including Chen Zong, there were a total of one hundred fourth state disciples. Of course, Tianguang Peak had more than one hundred fourth state disciples; there were many of them. However, due to the rules of the Battle of Peak Ascension, both Tianguang Peak and Gulan Peak could only send out one hundred fourth state disciples.
Of course, these one hundred were the most suitable candidates, and the strongest ones were usually chosen.
Chen Zong was the sword holding disciple. Except for Chen Zong, the other ninety-nine were all sword holding disciples, and they were the best among the sword holding disciples.
A sword holding elder of Tianguang Peak explained in detail to the one hundred fourth state disciples the things they needed to pay attention to in the Battle of Peak Ascension. Although the Battle of Peak Ascension was not a true battle of life and death, it had to be treated as such. Many methods could be used, such as magic pills that could increase one's strength in a short period of time.
All in all, the winner was king.
After the explanation, Chen Zong and the rest of the one hundred people were asked to familiarize themselves with each other. It would be best if they were familiar with each other and cooperate with each other, so that they could unleash their full strength.
"Big Brother Chen Zong, please give us some advice," Yuan Zong said with a smile. The sword-controlling disciple by the name of Yuan Call said this with a chuckle. Behind his simple request, there was a hint of unwillingness. It was because he was very powerful, at least in the fourth state of Tianguang Peak. If he claimed to be the second, nobody would dare claim to be the first. This was the reputation he had gained over the years.
Unfortunately, the Tianguang Peak Lord thought that Chen Zong was stronger, so Yuan Zong was unconvinced, even though he knew that Chen Zong's ranking on the Divine Master List was higher than his.
"That's right, Big Brother Chen Zong, please give us some advice. This way, we can cooperate better when the time comes," the other disciples said one after another.
Chen Zong could sense their thoughts, or rather, their intentions. They wanted nothing more than to see his strength. After all, he had been directly appointed as the leader of the fourth state disciples by the Tianguang Peak Lord, and the others had to follow his orders.
If he was a person who could not convince others, how could he make others truly obey his orders from the bottom of their hearts?
"If that's the case, which one of you will go first?" Chen Zong thought about it and smiled. "Or, do you want to go together?"
"I'll go first," Yuan Zong said directly. He took a step forward, and a powerful sword will gushed out from his body. "If Big Brother Chen Zong can defeat me, I believe the others will be convinced."
"Big Brother Yuan Zong is right. If Big Brother Chen Zong can defeat Big Brother Yuan Zong, we will naturally be convinced by you, Big Brother Chen Zong," the other disciples said one after another.
"Big Brother Yuan Zong, it's not that I look down on you," Chen Zong smiled, "but you are indeed no match for me. You should find a few more people to team up with."
Since he wanted to establish his authority, he had to do it thoroughly and show part of his strength to let them know how powerful he was. When the time came, the morale in the Battle of Peak Ascension would be even higher.
"No need." Yuan Huan felt as if he had been humiliated. Chen Zong actually wanted him to choose a few more people to join forces with. This made him extremely angry. Even though he admitted that Chen Zong's strength was probably above his own, he couldn't be that much stronger than him.
Since Yuan Zong had said so, Chen Zong did not say anything else.
"In that case, Big Brother, make your move," Chen Zong said with a smile, but his body did not move at all.
Yuan Zong's expression turned cold, and his sword will exploded to the extreme in an instant. Sword Qi gushed out from his body and shot out in all directions. In an instant, a sharp sword was unsheathed. It shot up into the sky like a strong ray of light, then suddenly shot down from the sky.
Chen Zong did not draw his sword. His body swayed slightly, but his feet did not move at all. He dodged the attack.
Sword, sword, sword!
Yuan Zong displayed the Great Path Sword Technique, one sword after another. Vaguely, there seemed to be the sound of rolling thunder, but the sword light was somewhat illusory. It was the combination of the Rushing Thunder Swordsmanship and the Phantom Light Swordsmanship. The power and mystery of the two Great Path Sword Techniques were integrated into it, and it was even more shocking.
Such swordsmanship was really superb. However, in Chen Zong's eyes, this swordsmanship was nothing because Chen Zong's Great Path Sword Technique was superior and superior. That was the difference in essence.
