The sky was lit up and the breeze was blowing.
It was only early in the morning, but Tianhong peak was bustling with activity.
After the morning class, the disciples were decorating the place, making Tianhong peak look like a rainbow.
At the foot of Tianhong peak, there were many people.
"Elephant Mountain Sect Leader, long time no see." A loud laughter was heard, startling the birds.
"Dark Valley Sect Leader, how have you been?" The tall and mighty Elephant Mountain Sect Leader replied with a smile.
In the Heavenly Rainbow Mountain, besides the Unhindered Sword Sect, which was a low-ranked sect, there were also several other unranked sects, such as the Elephant Mountain Sect, the Dark Valley Sect, the White Rainbow Sect, the Martial Sect, the Red Sword Sect, and so on.
These five sects were all unranked. The strongest in the sect was only at Extreme Level 1 or Extreme Level 2. They couldn't be compared to the Unhindered Sword Sect at all. Naturally, they had to rely on the Unhindered Sword Sect.
The Sect Master of the Elephant Mountain Sect had arrived with a group of core disciples, and so had the Dark Valley Sect.
At this moment, a group of people in white robes came from afar. Their figures were like white rainbows across the sky.
"White Rainbow Sect's people are here too." Elephant Mountain Sect Leader said.
"If that's the case, why don't we wait at the foot of the mountain? Let's go up together when everyone is gathered." Dark Valley Sect Leader smiled.
Normally, these five sects would compete with each other. After all, the Heavenly Rainbow Mountain was only so big. Most of the resources were occupied by the Unhindered Sword Sect, and the remaining small portion was naturally divided among the five sects. However, everyone wanted more resources to better develop their own sects.
At this moment, they needed to gather together. At least in terms of momentum, they wouldn't be suppressed so badly by the Unhindered Sword Sect.
Not long after, Righteous Martial Sect Leader brought a group of core disciples over. Lastly, the Red Sword Sect Leader and a group of core disciples carried a red longsword on their back.
The sect masters and core disciples of the five unranked sects of the Heavenly Rainbow Mountain officially gathered at the foot of the Heavenly Rainbow Peak.
"What do the four Sect Leaders know about the new Sword Son of the Unhindered Sword Sect?" White Rainbow Sect's Sect Leader was a middle-aged man with a pale face. He wore a white robe and looked elegant.
"I'm not sure yet. The Unhindered Sword Sect has kept a tight lid on the news." The sect master of the Dark Valley frowned.
"I do know a thing or two." The leader of the Red Sword Sect said slowly. Everyone's eyes fell on him. After a moment of silence, the leader of the Red Sword Sect continued, "It is said that this new Sword Son does not come from a high background. However, his talent is extraordinary.
Red Sect's Sect's Sect Leader, the Unhindered.
However, the other four Sect Masters were not to be underestimated. Their minds raced as they began making inferences based on Sect Master Red Sword's simple words.
"Let's go up the mountain," the Sect Master of the Righteous Martial Sect said in a deep voice.
The leaders of the five sects led a group of core disciples and began to climb the mountain.
...........................................
. The tall white jade gate seemed to be blooming with a magnificent halo. It looked grand and sacred.
The five Sect Leaders also noticed the expressions of the core disciples, but they didn't say anything. Their purpose in bringing them here was to broaden their horizons. Indeed, their sects couldn't be compared to Unhindered Sword Sect.
Six Unhindered Sword Sect's Inner Sect Disciples stood at the foot of the magnificent white jade gate. They all wore red and blue robes. Their attire was neat and uniform.
"Sixth Realm of the True Martial Realm!"
"That's not a small thing."
The five Sect Leaders sighed with emotion.
The six disciples guarding the gate were all in the Sixth Realm of the True Martial Realm. Their auras were very strong. They were even stronger than ordinary Sixth Realm True Martial Realm cultivators.
The five Sect Masters reported their identities one after another and the disciples guarding the mountain gate bowed respectfully; after all, the other party was a Sect Master and a Transcendent Realm master, so it was necessary to treat them with respect.
Walking up the white jade steps, the disciples of the five Sect Leaders looked around.
Every five steps, there would be a Unhindered Sword Sect disciple. They wore a red and blue robe with a long sword on their back. At first glance, they were so neat and orderly that it was shocking.
Everyone also found that after entering the gate, the disciples on both sides of the white jade steps were all in the True Martial Realm. They went up in order, from low to high, until they reached the huge square in front of Unhindered Sword Sect's main hall. It was also the square where the Ancient Sword Cauldron was placed.
"Unhindered Sword Sect's extravagance is really grand." A Dark Valley Sect disciple said in a low voice.
"I heard that the robes they wear are Sword Robes. They only wear them during the Sect's grand ceremony." A White Rainbow Sect disciple said with a little pride. It was as if knowing these things was amazing.
This was a kind of mentality. Their sect was not as good as Unhindered Sword Sect. They also felt that their talent couldn't be compared with Unhindered Sword Sect's disciples. Unconsciously, they felt that they were inferior. Knowing that they were superior would give them a sense of accomplishment.
Although the voice was low, the five Sect Leaders heard it. They felt a little helpless in their hearts.
They really felt helpless. Helpless that their sect was not as strong as Unhindered Sword Sect. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to rely on the Unhindered Sword Sect. They also wouldn't have to bring a lot of resources to Unhindered Sword Sect as a congratulatory gift.
The world of martial artists was like this. The weak were prey to the strong. However, this kind of law was not so direct under the constraints of some rules.
"Unhindered Sword Sect's new Sword Son? Hmph, I want to see how outstanding you are." Among the Red Sword Sect's core disciples, a disciple with a pair of long and narrow eyes said secretly. A sharp light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The Red Sword Sect wasn't the only one with the idea of challenging the Unhindered Sword Sect's Sword Son. The other four sects all had the same idea. In fact, they had all arranged it before coming here.
Although every challenge ended in defeat, no one would say anything if they lost. After all, their sects were not as good as Unhindered Sword Sect. Moreover, every generation's Sword Son was very outstanding. It was normal.
However, if they were lucky enough to win once, they didn't even need to win. A draw would suffice. Even if they were defeated, as long as they had a slight advantage in the battle, it would be the greatest encouragement for peace talks. Unknowingly, it would weaken Unhindered Unhindered Sword Sect's reputation.
Sect Leader Lin Zhonghan knew this very well. He also understood the little scheme of the five sects. Therefore, he gave the cultivation technique to Chen Zong first and instructed Chen Zong to cultivate it well.
"Elephant Mountain Sect Leader has arrived …"
"Dark Valley Sect Leader has arrived …"
"White Rainbow Sect Leader has arrived …"
"Righteous Martial Sect Leader has arrived …"
"Red Sword Sect Leader has arrived …"
The loud voice swept across like a gust of wind, entering everyone's ears.
"Five Sect Leaders have come personally. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling." The Fourth Elder greeted them. After all, they were all Transcendents and were sect leaders. It was reasonable for an Inner Sect Elder to greet them. However, it was impossible for Sect Leader Lin Zhonghan to greet them personally, unless they were also the leader of a Lower Sect.
The five Sect Leaders also bowed to the Fourth Elder. They had no choice. The Fourth Elder was a Second Layer Mortal Realm cultivator. He was stronger than them.
"Five Sect Leaders and your disciples, please take a seat. The Sword Son Ceremony is about to begin." The Fourth Elder led the five sects to their seats in the guest area.
The Sword Son Ceremony was held in this square because the Ancient Sword Cauldron was here.
The Ancient Sword Cauldron was left behind by the founder of the sect. It was said to be a treasure. Although no one had found the treasure for hundreds of years, it was still a symbol of the sect.
The five Sect Leaders led their core disciples to sit down and waited for the Sword Son Ceremony to begin.
They didn't have to wait for long. One by one, the disciples of the Unhindered Sword Sect dressed in red and blue robes walked up the white jade steps and lined up neatly around the square.
Each of them carried a long sword on their back. They stood tall and gave off an extraordinary aura. It created an invisible cohesive force. It was so shocking that it shocked the people of the five sects.
"Although I've seen it more than once, I'm still surprised every time." The Sect Leader of the Dark Valley said to the other Sect Leaders.
The other Sect Leaders nodded in agreement. The disciples of the five sects were even more shocked because it was their first time in the Unhindered Sword Sect. It was also their first time seeing such a scene.
Sect Leader Lin Zhonghan appeared in his robes. The Four Elders followed him. Suddenly, the atmosphere became solemn.
Then, the core disciples led by Lin Yuye also appeared in their robes.
"One of the Five Great Geniuses, Cold Rain Sword Lin Yuye."
"I wonder how strong he is."
Among the core disciples of the five sects, some who knew Lin Yuye whispered.
"And that … that's one of the Ten Rising Stars, Wang Xuanyang and Qiu Chongzi."
The Sword Master Ceremony was a big event in the Sect. As long as it wasn't something very important, everyone had to be present, except for the Founding Elder Yuan Lingzi.
As a Founding Elder, Yuan Lingzi was a retired figure. He naturally wouldn't appear in front of the public unless it was a life and death crisis in the Sect.
However, Yuan Lingzi didn't appear. He was secretly watching.
Chen Zong wore a red and blue robe with a gold and silver feather crown. He carried a ceremonial sword on his back and walked toward the Ancient Sword Cauldron. His face was solemn. His head was facing the sun, as if he was bathing in divine light.
This was the first time in his life that Chen Zong was dressed so formally. At first, Chen Zong wasn't used to it.
Sect Leader Lin Zhonghan lit a thumb-sized black rosin incense and handed it to Chen Zong with a solemn expression. Chen Zong took it with both hands with a solemn expression.
This was the incense for heaven.
Holding the incense with both hands, Chen Zong stood in front of the Ancient Sword Cauldron. Then, he gently inserted the black rosin incense into the Ancient Sword Cauldron. It was as straight as a sword, pointing toward the sky. Throughout the process, Chen Zong's movements seemed to have been practiced thousands of times. They were extremely precise and pleasing to the eye.
When Chen Zong used the incense to worship heaven, the First Elder also recited a profound sacrificial text. It was high and low and had a strange rhythm. It made people unconsciously focus.
The whole process wasn't long, but it gave people an unusually solemn feeling. It left a deep impression.
Chen Zong, the current Sword Son of the Reigning Sword Sect, had officially appeared and entered the eyes of the people. This name would be spread by the people of the five sects and be known by the people of Tianjiang Prefecture.
In the crowd, Li Qingye was very excited to see Chen Zong insert the black rosin incense into the Ancient Sword Cauldron.
