Sky Rainbow Mountain had seven peaks and three valleys, and the Unhindered Sword Sect was located on the largest and highest Sky Rainbow Peak.
At the top of the peak were the cave residences of the Unhindered Sword Hall and the Inner Sect Elders. Further down were the cave residences of the Core Disciples. Further down were the cave residences of the Deacons and Inner Sect Disciples. At the bottom were the cave residences of the Outer Sect Disciples.
As a Low-Rank Sect, the Unhindered Sword Sect had more than three thousand Outer Sect disciples and more than six hundred Inner Sect disciples, but very few Core Disciples.
A simple stone room with only a stone bed and a stone table was Chen Zong's temporary residence in the Outer Sect Disciple Area.
"Chen Zong, the Sect's investigation will take about a month. During this time, you will live here and cultivate well. I will also stay in the Sect for the time being. If you need anything, you can come to the Green Leaf Hall to find me." Li Qing Ye said and left.
Chen Zong walked out of the simple stone room and looked ahead. As far as his eyes could see, there were mountains and lush trees.
Taking a deep breath, the fresh air entered Chen Zong's lungs through his nose. He felt a wave of coolness, and it seemed to contain something indescribable that was beneficial to his body. Chen Zong was sure that living in such a place for a long time, even an ordinary person who did not practice martial arts would be able to strengthen their body and prolong their life.
"Ah Le, go find out the background of the person brought by Elder Qing Ye." A handsome young man's eyes flashed as he spoke to a shrewd-looking young man with small eyes.
"Okay, I'll go now." The small-eyed young man said and immediately walked out of the stone room to inquire about Chen Zong's identity.
There were more than three thousand outer sect disciples, and there was a competitive relationship between them. No one was willing to submit to another, and in order to compete for more resources, and also to be able to cultivate better, these disciples would form groups of three to five.
Of course, some of them were relatively strong and had gathered a group of subordinates.
Whenever a new disciple became an Outer Sect Disciple, if they were ordinary, they would naturally not attract attention, but Chen Zong, who was brought in by an Outer Sect Elder, would often become the focus of attention. After all, Outer Sect Elders were Pseudo Transcendent Realm masters and would not casually bring in new disciples.
The arrival of Chen Zong and his visit to the Zongjian Hall was not a secret, nor was the news deliberately blocked. Among the outer disciples, there were many people who had a good relationship with the elders. With careful inquiry, Chen Zong's origin and purpose were dug out.
"He actually wants to become the Sword Son of the Sect …"
After hearing the news, many outer sect disciples were stunned.
"Moreover, he's someone from a small dynasty, yet he wants to become the Sword Son of the Sect. Does he really think he's above everyone just because he's a genius from a small dynasty?"
"Too arrogant."
For a moment, many outer sect disciples felt as if they were being looked down upon and were annoyed. In fact, Chen Zong had not even said a word to them yet he was already being treated with hostility. If Chen Zong knew about it, he would probably be very helpless.
"Whether he's arrogant or not has nothing to do with us, but if he wants to become the Sect's Sword Son, he has to ask those two first." After the handsome young man finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, "Let's go, we'll meet this genius from a small dynasty and see what kind of person he is."
"Is it necessary?" The small-eyed young man muttered, but he still followed the handsome young man's footsteps.
…
"What can I do for you two?" Chen Zong looked at the two people in front of him and asked casually.
"Newcomer, you're too rude. This is Senior Brother Song Jingxiao, and you should call me Senior Brother Lin Changle." The small-eyed young man frowned and reprimanded him.
Chen Zong ignored him. He could see that the leader of these two was Song Jingxiao, not Lin Changle.
"That's enough, Le. It's just a formality. There's no need to fuss over it." Song Jingxiao smiled, but his eyes were sizing up Chen Zong. A sharpness flashed in the depths of his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Chen Zong.
"I'll call you Chen Zong and Chen Shidi." Song Jingxiao spoke again, "Chen Shidi, how much do you know about our outer sect?"
"Senior Brother Song, what's your purpose here? Just say it," Chen Zong said. He did not intend to play this kind of roundabout game with the other party.
Song Jingxiao's eyes flashed with a touch of displeasure. In any case, he was considered a figure among the outer sect disciples. It was too presumptuous to speak to him like this.
However, Song Jingxiao did not flare up on the spot.
"Our sect has more than 3,000 outer sect disciples. The most powerful ten are called the top ten outer sect disciples." Song Jingxiao smiled and said, "I'm not talented, but I'm ranked sixth."
Chen Zong was a little surprised.
Chen Zong already had a preliminary understanding of the martial arts standard of the Longtu Sect. To be able to become an outer sect disciple of a low-grade sect, one must have great talent. To be able to stand out among 3,000 outer sect disciples and become one of the top ten, it was indeed extraordinary. Moreover, he was ranked sixth.
I wonder if the other party's combat strength has reached the seven-star level?
I don't think so. When I came here, I asked Elder Li Qingye. There was no seven-star disciple among the 3,000 outer sect disciples.
After all, seven-star and six-star were two different levels. Most geniuses could not reach that level.
However, even if they did not have seven-star combat strength, they should have six-star combat strength.
After saying his ranking, Song Jingxiao stared into Chen Zong's eyes. However, he did not find any surprise. He was even more surprised. He did not know if this person was very confident or just deliberately mystifying things.
"Every one of the top ten outer sect disciples wants to be the Sword Son of the Sect." Song Jingxiao got to the point. There was an inexplicable light in his eyes. "However, there are two people who want to be the Sword Son of the Sect the most. They are ranked second and first. Their combat strength is similar. Every time they fight, they will win and lose. Therefore, they will take turns to take the first place."
"Anyone who wants to be the Sword Son of the Sect will be seen as a target by the two of them and will be eliminated." Song Jingxiao smiled and said.
"Got it." Chen Zong replied calmly.
Song Jingxiao felt like he was in a mess.
He had wasted so much time talking, but the other party's reaction was too dull. It felt like he had punched out and thought that he would be able to hit the center of the target, but his punch had missed. That feeling of emptiness was not a good feeling.
Lin Changle's expression was not good. With a clang, the sword light flashed through the air, leaving many residual shadows. It was cold and threatening. It was aimed at Chen Zong. It seemed that he wanted to teach Chen Zong a lesson.
"You want to fight with me?" Chen Zong stared at Lin Changle and said calmly.
"Le, put away your sword." For some reason, Song Jingxiao had a feeling that Lin Changle was not a match for the other party. Therefore, he scolded him.
Lin Changle glanced at Chen Zong angrily and put his sword back into the sheath. However, his eyes were still cold.
"Chen Shidi, I believe those two people will come to you soon." Song Jingxiao turned and left. He had no choice. His words did not seem to have any effect.
"First and second …" Chen Zong whispered and shook his head slightly. He was not interested in fighting with people who were not at the seven-star level. Even if they were at the early or middle stage of the seven-star level, they would not be a match for him.
Chen Zong did not take it to heart. He was immersed in the comprehension of the completion of Strength Refining.
He had reached the Earth Abyss. However, it was more difficult to reach the Heaven Top. Because the Heaven Top was more fragile than the Earth Abyss. If he was not careful, his head would explode. He also found that the way to reach the Heaven Top was not very effective.
Therefore, Chen Zong had to be more careful in his cultivation.
Both of his feet stepped on the ground. The connected Earth Abyss seemed to be continuously absorbing traces of weak and pure energy from the ground and condensing them into his Inner Strength. This caused his Inner Strength to change little by little and become increasingly pure. There was no need for Chen Zong to control this. It was equivalent to training at every moment and the effect was very good.
…
"Newcomer, you have to pay ten spirit shells every month to keep you safe."
In front of Chen Zong were three outer disciples. One of them said in a stiff tone.
"With your strength, how can you keep me safe?" Chen Zong raised his eyelids and asked.
"You're doubting our strength. Very well, then I'll let you see how powerful we are." As soon as he finished speaking, sword light flashed, like lightning streaking across the sky, instantly arriving to kill.
The sword was very fast in the eyes of the other two. However, in Chen Zong's eyes, it was very slow. The trajectory was clear. Chen Zong could even tell where the sword was going to stab.
Such sword skills might be able to dominate the Strength Refining stage in the Eastern Land. However, in Chen Zong's eyes, it was full of flaws.
Chen Zong did not even draw his sword. He just pointed his finger casually. The sword light was peerless and broke the sky.
With a clink, the long sword trembled violently. Waves of power surged through the trembling sword and passed to the opponent's arm. The opponent's Qi, blood, and internal force collapsed at the same time. His hand went numb and lost feeling. He could not hold the sword anymore.
When the power hit his body, his Qi, blood, and internal force were shaken. He stepped back and sat on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
"You can't even take one of my fingers. With such strength, how can you keep me safe?" Chen Zong acted as if he had never made a move. His face was calm, but his words were as sharp as a sword. The three people's faces changed and they were terrified.
The person who attacked just now was at the beginning of the four-star level. However, he could not even take one of Chen Zong's fingers. The gap between them was too big.
This person's combat strength was at least at the five-star level, or even higher.
Of course, they did not have the face to stay after being defeated by Chen Zong's finger. The two people helped the person on the ground up and picked up the long sword on the ground. They left without looking back.
"Things might not be peaceful from now on." Chen Zong withdrew his gaze from the three people who left in a hurry and said to himself.
The three people's arrival was definitely not unintentional. Someone had arranged it deliberately. It could be said that they were testing him.
He was testing his attitude and strength.
Now, the probing had probably failed. Perhaps there would be people with even higher battle prowess coming to test him a second time.
In Chen Zong's eyes, this kind of test was somewhat ridiculous and childish.
