The answer that so many people wanted to know was revealed.
This answer didn't seem very surprising, but if one thought about it carefully, there were countless meanings hidden within.
The cliff fell into a long period of silence. People were speechless because of the shock.
In the end, it was the Peak Master of Qingrong who broke the silence, asking in a chilly voice.
"He has ascended. Who will you learn the sword from? The Thoughtless Sword has gone with him. What sword will you inherit? "
Some guests who came to watch the ceremony noticed that the Peak Master of Qingrong didn't use the honorific title when she mentioned the Immortal Jing Yang, and didn't call him Senior Master, but called him directly. For some reason, neither the Sect Master of the Green Mountain Sect nor Yuan Qijing said anything; it seemed that this was a normal thing for them.
Zhao Layue said, "According to the old rule of Aoyama, as long as I can climb to Shenmo Peak and obtain the Thoughtless Sword, I will inherit the sword successfully."
As long as she inherited the sword successfully, the inheritance of the ninth peak of Aoyama would be continuous. As for how to learn the sword, she didn't care.
The cold voice of Yuan Qijing sounded in the cliff.
"The Shenmo Peak is self-imposed, and the Great Formation of Aoyama can only open a new path for the sword. If you want to continue the path of the sword on Shenmo Peak, the Great Formation of Aoyama can't help you. The path to the peak is extremely dangerous. Even your Senior Masters in the State of Free Travel will have a slim chance of surviving, let alone a regular disciple like you in the State of Inherited Will. Why do you insist? "
Zhao Layue said, "Since I will inherit the sword of Senior Grandmaster, why would I be afraid of death?"
The name of the sword on Shenmo Peak was Thoughtless, and the sword style used was the Nine-Deaths Sword.
This was the meaning of not regretting even nine deaths.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Qijing said, "Good, good, good."
He said these three words emotionlessly. It was unclear whether he was praising Zhao Layue's courage or he had nothing to say.
"So … you are the disciple chosen by the Young Senior Master. You have such courage at such a young age. You are indeed the one chosen by the Young Senior Master. I will allow you. "
The voice of the Sect Master of Aoyama was full of sentimentality and reminiscence, and also a bit gratified.
Yuan Qijing's voice was still cold. "If you fail, but luckily survive, you cannot inherit the sword within three years, and can only cultivate by the stream. Do you understand?"
This punishment seemed normal, but it was actually quite severe.
Even though Zhao Layue was born with natural Dao quality, it would be very difficult for her to practice the sword if she couldn't get in touch with the truly mysterious sword instructions within three years, and without the guidance of a master, she would progress much slower than those of her colleagues who had inherited the swords successfully. As for the matter of Cultivation, if one step was slow, all the steps would be slow. Who would be willing to bear the consequences?
Many of the guests couldn't bear to see her like this, not to mention the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect. Many of them wanted to plead for her.
However, as the head of the Sword Justice at the Green Mountain Sect, what Yuan Qijing said was the most authoritative explanation of the sect rules, and even the Sect Master couldn't deny it easily.
Guo Nanshan walked to the edge of the cliff and bowed to the masters above, asking, "Can Young Sister Zhao join Liangwang Peak?"
. of. by. the of the of the Peak of the of. by many, the Master of. the Of the Of the Peak..
. "I think so," said the Peak Master of Qingrong.
Yuan Qijing remained silent.
The crowd felt more relaxed.
On Liangwang Peak, one could learn all the sword styles of other peaks.
As for what Yuan Qijing said about Zhao Layue not inheriting the sword … Gu Qing had already learned the Six-Dragon Sword style of Shiyue Peak in secret during the period of sword washing, so there was nothing to worry about.
Besides the Guocheng Temple, Shui Yue Nunnery, and the Platanus Sect, there were some special guests who came to Aoyama to attend the ceremony: two princes from Zhaoge City.
They were powerful figures in the mortal world, but they had to keep a low profile in a place like the Aoyama Sect, which was a place for Cultivation outside of the mortal world.
The two of them had remained silent since the beginning, with a reserved smile on their faces.
But for some reason, they suddenly stood up and praised the decision of the Aoyama Sect and the courage of Zhao Layue.
Nobody understood why the two princes did so.
Normally, they should feel that the Aoyama Sect was hypocritical in doing so. Even if they didn't point it out, they had no reason to praise it.
Zhao Layue walked back to the green rock from the stream and sat down.
She had been standing since the beginning of the Inherited Sword Competition, not sitting down once.
Her expression didn't show anything unusual, but Jing Jiu noticed that her temples were slightly wet, indicating that she was still in an excited mood.
"Do you want to climb that mountain so badly?" he asked.
Zhao Layue didn't say anything.
After Liangwang Peak took Gu Qing as their disciple, the rest of the disciples had their own places to go.
The Elder of Shiyue Peak in charge of the Inherited Sword Competition looked at Jing Jiu and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Many people now remembered that this youth in white who had shocked the whole crowd hadn't made his choice yet.
Zhao Layue's choice was so shocking that some people even forgot about it.
They didn't expect a new shock to follow.
"I've made up my mind," said Jing Jiu. "I also choose Shenmo Peak."
The cliffs fell silent again, and then there was an uproar.
Xue Yong 'e opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Young Sister Yushan looked at Jing Jiu with her hands cupping her face, as if she was intoxicated by him.
Zhao Layue was startled, looking at Jing Jiu's face, feeling more and more unable to understand this guy.
Jing Jiu also chose Shenmo Peak?
The crowd was shocked, wondering what was going on today.
…
…
In the twilight, Shenmo Peak was facing the setting sun. The clouds and fog were very thin, almost nonexistent. The forest and sceneries in the mountain were very clear, and everything looked normal. There were several mountain paths leading to the peak top. It looked dangerous to cross the cliffs, but it wasn't difficult for the Cultivation practitioners.
These were merely illusions.
After the ascension of the Immortal Jingyang, Shenmo Peak was sealed off. Unless the Great Formation of Aoyama opened a new sword source, there was no way to open it, let alone enter it.
Zhao Layue had almost no chance of succeeding in inheriting the sword at Shenmo Peak.
The elder of Shiyue Peak said, "As long as you can climb to the peak top and find the Thoughtless Sword, you will be recognized as the inheritor of the Immortal Jingyang."
Zhao Layue nodded.
Guo Nanshan said, "Young Sister, if you have any problems, just step back. Don't be reluctant."
"You don't have to be so stubborn. Just be careful," said Gu Han while looking at her.
Zhao Layue said to Guo Nanshan, "Thank you for what you said earlier, Big Brother. Even if I fail, I won't go to Liangwang Peak. I'm sorry."
What Guo Nanshan said just now was to leave a way out for her, and it was approved by the Sect Master. As for the danger … with the Sect Master and so many highly achieved swordsmen of the Aoyama Sect watching in person, Zhao Layue wouldn't die here, no matter how powerful the forbidding formation left by the Senior Grandmaster Jingyang was.
"In fact … you might die."
Jing Jiu said this sincerely, lifting his head to look at the quiet green peak in the twilight.
It was too quiet on Shenmo Peak, and the scenery was too clear. No sound could be heard on the strange cliffs or in the dense forest, as if they were all fake.
Such silence usually signified true danger.
"I have to go up there and have a look. But you …"
Zhao Layue glanced at him and said, "Since it's so dangerous, you don't have to follow me."
Jing Jiu said, "You think too much. I'm just curious about what's up there. It'll save me some energy if someone clears the way in front."
Zhao Layue wasn't in the mood to think whether he was telling the truth or not, so she said, "Then you have to follow me closely."
"Jing Jiu, be careful … be careful."
Elder Mo Chi said nervously, rubbing his hands.
Jing Jiu nodded and looked at the person beside him.
Liu Shisui stood there, worry written all over his small face. When Jing Jiu looked at him, Liu Shisui pulled a long face, which looked kind of cute.
Jing Jiu turned around and walked toward the peak with Zhao Layue.
