The Lightning Sword Sect was one of the three strongest Heaven-class forces in the Myriad Sword Ancient Domain. This was because there was a Saint-class expert in the Sect. Or rather, the Lightning Sword Sect was established by a Saint-class expert.
"Unparalleled Jiandi Chen Zong, it's not impossible for you to view the sword techniques of our sect. However, there's a condition." The Lightning Sword Sect's Sect Leader was a Quasi-saint. His voice was vigorous like thunder, containing a monstrous might. His eyes flickered with light, as if there were strands of electric arcs jumping around. When he looked over, Chen Zong's skin faintly felt numb.
"Please speak, Sect Leader." Chen Zong's expression was calm as usual. He was just a Quasi-saint. No matter how strong the sword might was, it wouldn't be able to affect him.
"You need to join our sect and become an elder. At that time, you will be a member of our sect. You can view any sword techniques you want, including our sect's highest inheritance, the Lightning Hundred Crack Sword Technique. As long as you contribute to our sect or become an elder, you will be able to cultivate it after a hundred years." The Lightning Sword Sect's Sect Leader squinted his eyes, and the lightning in his eyes intensified.
So it turned out that he wanted Chen Zong to join the Lightning Sword Sect and become an elder of the sect. This plan was really well thought out.
It sounded like a good thing. After all, the Lightning Sword Sect was a Heaven-class force with a Saint-class expert in charge. It was only second to the four great saint grounds. The Lightning Hundred Crack Sword Technique was also very famous in the Myriad Sword Ancient Domain. However, that was only to others, such as those Quasi-saints who had no hope of advancing.
However, Chen Zong wasn't one of them. They all thought that Chen Zong was a Quasi-saint. However, they didn't know that Chen Zong's cultivation path was different from others. The strength of a Quasi-saint was unparalleled in the Sword Dao. It wouldn't be difficult for him to break through to the Saint-class in the future. His future was limitless, so he naturally wouldn't be trapped in one place.
If he agreed to the Lightning Sword Sect's Sect Leader's condition just to view some sword techniques, it wouldn't be any different from restricting himself.
How could Chen Zong agree to it?
"Sect Leader, please change your condition," Chen Zong said unhurriedly, implying that he was rejecting the offer.
"Then I'm sorry." The Lightning Sword Sect's Sect Master shook his head and did not speak ill of him. After all, the other party was a powerful secondary saint. It wasn't a wise choice to offend such a secondary saint, let alone infuriate him.
"Since that's the case, Chen Zong shall challenge the Grandmaster directly." Chen Zong's expression was solemn. A trace of Sword Will spread out and pointed at the Lightning Sword Sect Leader like an invisible sharp sword. He was going to battle with him.
................................................
. After hearing Chen Zong's words and sensing Chen Zong's sword intent, the Lightning Sword Sect Leader frowned. He waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry. I'm busy. You can leave now."
The Sect Leader wasn't willing to battle with Chen Zong. This battle wouldn't bring him any benefits. On the contrary, Chen Zong would take this opportunity to peek at the secrets of the Lightning Sword Sect's sword techniques. After all, Chen Zong was walking the path of the Sect Leader, which was known to be extremely difficult.
Although he admired Chen Zong's determination, he wasn't willing to let his sect's inherited sword techniques become Chen Zong's resource.
Why should he agree to it without any reason and without any benefits?
If he were to lose, he would be making Chen Zong famous.
Seeing how the Lightning Sword Sect Leader was behaving, Chen Zong felt a little helpless as well. He couldn't possibly be so unreasonable as to draw his sword. That didn't fit his character.
Since that was the case, he would change the method.
In an instant, Chen Zong retreated from the Lightning Sword Sect. Standing in the air, he released an extremely tyrannical sword intent.
As soon as the Sword Will was unleashed, it immediately shattered the Nine Heavens and turned into a shocking cloud vortex. With a single glance, it gave off an extremely shocking feeling, causing people to be extremely shocked. The tyrannical Sword Will covered the sky and covered the earth as it pressed down, directly attacking the entire Lightning Sword Sect.
The Lightning Sword Sect's Sect Protecting Formation was instantly activated. Streaks of lightning grew around the Lightning Sword Sect. Electric arcs jumped around continuously, like streaks of zigzagging sword light or like lightning dragons cruising in all directions, protecting the Lightning Sword Sect firmly.
The Lightning Sword Sect Leader and the elders all had a drastic change in expression.
What was going on?
How could the Sect Protection Formation be activated? With such tyrannical sword intent, could it be that a Saint-level expert had attacked the Lightning Sword Sect?
When the Lightning Sword Sect Leader saw the figure in the air that was emitting the sword intent, he was instantly stunned. He thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. Following which, his expression changed drastically and his face turned pale.
Unparalleled sword intent!
Unparalleled Sword Dao!
This person was actually a Saint-level expert, a Sword Dao Saint, and not a Quasi-saint like the rumors said. The ability that he had displayed earlier was probably due to him restraining himself.
And just now, he actually wanted him to become an elder of the Lightning Sword Sect and serve the Lightning Sword Sect. This was simply ridiculous.
Although the cultivation environment of the Ancient Mystic World was extremely good, and it wasn't difficult to break through to the Heaven level, and there was also a greater chance of breaking through to the Saint-level. However, there weren't many Saint-level experts, and they belonged to the super existence that stood at the peak of cultivation.
No matter where a Saint-level expert went, they would be highly valued. Even in the Four Great Saint Lands, they had a high status.
Although the Lightning Sword Sect wasn't bad and was one of the strongest Heaven-level forces after the Four Great Saint Lands, it still wasn't qualified to recruit a Sword Saint. They were overestimating themselves.
And just now, he actually rejected the request of a Sword Saint. This Sword Saint was probably angry now, which was why he released his unparalleled sword intent and activated the Sect Protection Formation.
Thinking of this, the Sect Leader's expression turned even uglier.
The Lightning Sword Sect wasn't weak, but that was only relatively speaking. Offending a Saint-level expert was definitely not a good thing.
A Sword Saint … Who knew that this person had hidden his strength so deeply?
"Which fellow daoist has graced my Lightning Sword Sect with your presence?" In an instant, a voice rang out. It was like a thunderous sound that rumbled across the sky. A shocking sword pressure swept across the sky, and the thunderbolts on the Sect Protection Formation instantly dimmed before disappearing.
The Sect Leader and the elders of the Lightning Sword Sect instantly revealed a look of joy.
This was the appearance of the founder of the Lightning Sword Sect, the Lightning Sword Saint.
Only a Saint-level expert could resist against a Saint-level expert.
A huge silver thunderbolt shot up into the sky, as if it was striking the sky and shattering the clouds. The mighty sword intent also spread out, enveloping the Lightning Sword Sect and resisting Chen Zong's unparalleled sword intent.
In the mighty thunderbolt, a figure also appeared. Endless sword Qi surrounded him, and each of the sword Qi was like a thunderbolt.
In the next moment, the figure took a step forward. As his foot landed on the void, a thunderbolt purgatory burst forth. A majestic figure appeared in the sky, and behind him, there was a thunderbolt that was ten feet thick. Countless thunderbolts flickered within it, as if it was a thunderbolt pillar that connected the heavens and the earth. Its power was boundless.
This was the Lightning Sword Saint, a Pristine Saint Realm sword expert.
As soon as the Lightning Sword Saint appeared, he blocked Chen Zong's sword intent and asked with a serious expression, "Fellow daoist, has my Lightning Sword Sect offended you?"
"I'm Chen Zong. I'm here to observe the sword techniques of your sect." Chen Zong smiled and withdrew his sword intent. After all, he had already achieved his goal.
Since the Sect Leader of the Lightning Sword Sect wasn't willing to fight with him, he would be more direct and provoke the Sword Saint of the Lightning Sword Sect to fight with him. He would then be able to see more of the mysteries of the sword techniques.
"I see." The Lightning Sword Saint was enlightened. He immediately revealed a smile and said, "It's an honor for my sect's sword techniques to be able to catch your eye. Please."
The Lightning Sword Saint's reaction was out of Chen Zong's expectations. Shouldn't he just draw his sword and fight?
Why did he do that?
However, since the Lightning Sword Saint wasn't willing to fight and was willing to let him observe the sword techniques of the Lightning Sword Sect, Chen Zong couldn't say anything more.
The Lightning Sword Sect was indeed one of the top Heaven-grade forces in the Myriad Sword Ancient Domain that was second only to the Four Great Saint Lands. The sword techniques that they collected were very rich, and there were almost a hundred of them. These sword techniques were also categorized. There were more than forty ordinary sword techniques, more than twenty better sword techniques, and the remaining dozen were better sword techniques. A few of these sword techniques could be passed down in a Heaven-grade force.
However, the true Lightning Split Sword Technique couldn't be seen. Chen Zong wasn't in a hurry. He first comprehended these sword techniques and absorbed the mysteries within. Of course, some of these sword techniques were similar to the sword techniques that Chen Zong had observed before.
Not long later, Chen Zong had observed all of these sword techniques and had indeed grasped the mysteries and essences within.
"Brother, can you let me take a look at your sect's Lightning Split Sword Technique?" Chen Zong made a request to the Lightning Sword Saint.
"Of course." The Lightning Sword Saint agreed without hesitation. Of course, it was only the sword technique. It was impossible for him to learn the martial arts and sword techniques within. Chen Zong only wanted the sword technique.
"Thank you." Chen Zong was still very grateful.
After all, the sword technique was the Lightning Sword Saint's life's work.
"Haha, sword techniques are meant to be observed, comprehended, and cultivated. This is the meaning of its creation and existence." The Lightning Sword Saint laughed and was very open-minded. "Brother, you're not an ordinary person. If you're willing to observe my sword technique, you'll be able to comprehend its mysteries and even point out its flaws. It'll be beneficial for perfecting the sword technique."
"Brother, you have a good temperament." Chen Zong couldn't help but praise.
Although there was a logic to it, it wasn't something that everyone could see through. When the sword technique was comprehended by others, one could use the comprehension of others to see the flaws within it. Then, one could perfect and improve the technique, using the strengths of others to make up for the weaknesses.
After all, once a sword technique was created, it was impossible not to use it. If it was used, it would be known by others, and its mysteries would be seen through.
However, only those who were truly open-minded could see through this point.
Chen Zong was full of admiration for the Lightning Sword Saint.
The Lightning Split Sword Technique was an extremely powerful sword technique. It was a sword technique that focused on attacking power. The power of each strike was extremely tyrannical. It was as if a thunderbolt had broken through the sky and exploded everything. It was very terrifying. Chen Zong was secretly amazed. The mysteries contained within it also made Chen Zong exclaim in admiration.
As expected, his talent in swordsmanship was indeed superb, and the Single Hearted Sword Technique was indeed extraordinary, but there were still many capable people in the world. Anyone who had become a Saint would have an extremely shocking foundation, and could not be judged by common sense.
