Gu Zheng didn't move, and neither did the immortal swords. They waited quietly for Gu Zheng to choose. Gu Zheng had opened his eyes and was standing there with a frown. He didn't choose any of the immortal swords in front of him.
"I think the purple immortal sword in the fifth vertical row in the sixteenth row on the left is not bad. I don't know if this senior will choose it!"
"I think the red immortal sword in the front is the best. Its position is very close to the senior. It's red, like a flame. I like it!"
"I think the purple one is not bad …"
"That orange one …"
The surrounding people were still whispering. Many people pointed to their favorite immortal swords and lamented in their hearts. Why didn't these immortal swords choose him? Now they all appeared.
Seeing so many First Grade Immortal Swords quietly waiting for others to make their choice, they all felt like going crazy.
Changmei was also shocked, but he was more happy after the shock.
He didn't expect Gu Zheng to have such great potential to trigger the Ten Thousand Swords to choose their master. In the entire history of Mount Shu, Gu Zheng was the fourth person to trigger such a situation. He believed that Gu Zheng's future would be even more brilliant.
With Gu Zheng's participation, Wanguu Peak would definitely get better and better.
But thinking of this, Changmei immediately frowned. Gu Zheng was too dazzling. No one could ignore him. It was very likely that the main peak would directly recruit Gu Zheng. In this way, Gu Zheng would be a member of the main peak and not belong to Wanguu Peak.
Cultivating in the main peak was definitely better than cultivating in the side peaks. The resources here were freely available, and the immortal power was more abundant. Moreover, the benefits were not limited to these. Cultivating in the main peak, one's future achievements would be higher, and one's status would be much better than the peak masters outside.
For example, on Earth, was it better to be an official in the capital city or a local official?
If the capital city had great power and completely controlled the local area, many people would want to go to the capital city instead of the local area. The main peak's control over the side peaks was stronger than that of the capital city on Earth. In Mount Shu, everyone wanted to cultivate in the main peak.
Not being able to keep Gu Zheng was tantamount to Wanguu Peak's loss.
But thinking back, Gu Zheng's future achievements would be better if he cultivated in the main peak. After all, he came from Emei Peak. There was no harm to them. What's more, he was willing to help Gu Zheng.
Thinking of this, Changmei relaxed his eyebrows and looked forward with a smile.
Gu Zheng hadn't chosen yet. At this moment, he was quarreling with the device spirit.
"A bunch of trash.........
The weapon spirit pouted and said angrily. In fact, these immortal swords were not bad, especially those purple and red immortal swords. They were almost at the level of a top immortal weapon. It was just that they did not have a weapon spirit.
He didn't know how these immortal swords had provoked the weapon spirit's young miss. She was so angry that she didn't let Gu Zheng choose.
. "Trash. If this is trash, then what is fine?"
Gu Zheng bitterly smiled. The Artifact Spirit's appearance made him feel as if it was jealous. It was both infuriating and funny, but he still had to coax it. Otherwise, if the Artifact Spirit were to cause trouble, it would be hard for him to choose.
Even if he chose, the immortal sword might be damaged by the device spirit. In that case, it was better not to choose.
"If I say trash is trash, then it is trash. Let them go. Don't be an eyesore here. Seeing them annoys me!"
The Artifact Spirit was still throwing a tantrum, so Gu Zheng could only coax it. However, he finally understood why there were so many Immortal Swords. It was not because of his talent, but because of his cultivation technique.
The immortal swords had no intelligence, but they had the instinct to choose their masters. They would choose masters with excellent potential. In addition to talent, the cultivation method was also very important. However, the cultivation methods of Mount Shu were mostly the same. Unless one's talent was very good, there would not be such a phenomenon of so many swords choosing their masters.
But it was different this time. Gu Zheng's talent was indeed average, but after a few transformations, it had become not bad. The most important thing was the cultivation method he practiced, Gokusen's Immortal Art.
This was a cultivation method created by a Sage. It was a cultivation method that could be directly cultivated into a Sage. Although it was only in theory, it was theoretically stronger than many other cultivation methods. These Immortal Swords had sensed Gu Zheng's potential in this aspect, which was why they rushed out in a hurry.
In the end, with so many of them running out together, it angered the device spirit. The device spirit threw a tantrum at Gu Zheng.
People kept running from outside. At first, it was the people nearby, but later, there were people from far away. They were all geniuses who were cultivating on the main peak. When they heard that the sword sea had triggered the selection of ten thousand swords, they all ran here.
The Golden Immortal Guardian of the Sword Sea finally ran to the top and sent the news over. At this moment, he was still a little depressed. Why was the main peak not allowed to fly? Otherwise, he would not have to run like this. He could have informed the Sect Leader and the others earlier.
Not long after, five figures flew over from the sky and quickly landed on the cliff of the sword sea.
Seeing the people flying over, many people bowed and saluted. Long Eyebrows looked at the five people enviously. Flying was not allowed on the main peak. There was an array formation that restricted flying. However, it only restricted people below the level of Daluo Jinxian. It did not restrict Daluo Jinxian.
Being able to fly on the main peak was actually a symbol of status. It proved that they were all Daluo Jinxian.
As for the Daluo Jinxian of Shushan, they were all elders. This time, the ones who flew over were the current sect leader, Sage Ziyun, and four other elders.
The five Daluo Jinxian flew over together. Many people felt the pressure, including Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng turned around and looked at them.
"Is this Gu Zheng?"
The sect leader asked softly with endless admiration in his eyes. Jin Xian, the guardian, hurriedly ran up and said with his head lowered, "Sect Leader, he is Gu Zheng. He is Long Eyebrows' original disciple in the Mortal World. Now he has become Jin Xian and returned to Shushan in Untainted Land!"
"Good, very good. Your Wangu Peak has done a good job this time. You will definitely be rewarded!"
An elder next to him laughed. Long Eyebrows understood when he heard this. The elders had taken a fancy to Gu Zheng. In the future, they would definitely take him to the main peak and let Gu Zheng cultivate there.
"Thank you, Elder Su!"
Long Eyebrows bowed and cupped his fists. He had already thought it through and did not care if Gu Zheng would leave Wangu Peak. Now it seemed that Gu Zheng's departure could bring benefits to Wangu Peak, which made Long Eyebrows very satisfied.
"Why hasn't he chosen?"
An elder said softly. It had been a long time since the ten thousand swords came out, but Gu Zheng had not made a choice.
"There are so many swords. How can it be so easy to choose? Who doesn't want to choose the best one?"
Another elder spoke up for Gu Zheng. The elder who spoke up earlier nodded. There were over ten thousand swords. Even if they were to examine them one by one, it would still take a very long time. With so many swords here, who wouldn't want to choose the most suitable and strongest weapon for themselves?
Judging others by their own standards, now they felt that it was normal for Gu Zheng to not choose for such a long time.
Unfortunately, they did not know that it was not that Gu Zheng did not want to choose, but that someone did not let him choose. The Device Spirit was still making trouble with him.
"How many weapons do you want to cultivate? You use a saber. Do you want to become a grandmaster in swordsmanship?"
The Device Spirit said angrily. Gu Zheng was stunned. The Device Spirit was right. He already had Tang Mo, and it was very convenient for him to use. Moreover, he also had many saber techniques. Even if he had a superior celestial sword, he would not have much time to cultivate it.
If that was the case, the celestial sword would only be a decoration.
"What you said makes sense. Don't bite off more than you can chew!"
Gu Zheng agreed with the Device Spirit's words. The Device Spirit immediately said, "I told you, so let them all go. Don't take any of them!"
"I can't not take any of them. The celestial sword is a symbol of Shushan. I have to choose one. Since that's the case, I won't delay those celestial swords. The celestial sword that came out first is fated with me. I'll take it!"
After Gu Zheng understood, he did not hesitate anymore. It was impossible for the Device Spirit to not let him choose the celestial sword. He had to choose one, but there was no need to choose a particularly good one. Even if he chose one, he would not use it.
After the celestial sword chose its master, it was not a simple weapon. After spending a long time with its master, the master would also nurture the celestial sword. It might even nurture a Device Spirit. This way, the celestial sword would be resurrected.
In Shushan, there were already dozens of celestial swords that had nurtured a Device Spirit. After Gu Zheng chose the celestial sword, he could not serve it every day. Moreover, he already had many top celestial weapons. This would only waste the development of the celestial sword.
Instead of delaying the celestial sword, it was better to choose one at random.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and slowly grabbed it.
Seeing Gu Zheng make his choice, the people outside did not speak. They all wanted to know which celestial sword Gu Zheng would choose. But soon, their eyes widened. They saw that Gu Zheng had stretched out his hand and grabbed a pitch-black celestial sword. Finally, he pulled the celestial sword back.
There were so many first-grade and second-grade celestial swords, but Gu Zheng actually chose the worst one. This made everyone's eyes almost fall out.
"How is this possible? Why did he choose this one?"
"I didn't see it wrong. Isn't this the worst one?"
"Tell me this is not true. He's wasting his opportunity. He's wasting his opportunity!"
Many people around were in an uproar. Even Sage Ziyun and the others were staring with their eyes wide open. No one had thought that Gu Zheng would choose such a celestial sword.
After Gu Zheng made his choice, the other celestial swords fell into the sea of swords one after another, waiting for their fated person.
Gu Zheng cut his finger with the celestial sword and dripped a drop of blood on it to complete the acknowledgement. After the acknowledgement, the celestial sword would always follow him unless he died or the celestial sword was completely damaged.
Even if it was damaged, Gu Zheng could not have a second celestial sword. There were disciples in Shushan whose celestial swords were destroyed. Most of them were recalled back to the sect and could never leave Shushan again.
"How, how is this possible?"
Gu Zheng came over. Chang Mei still could not believe it. He did not expect that Gu Zheng would choose such a celestial sword. When he first came, he only had one celestial sword, but it was purple. It was a celestial sword that he was very satisfied with.
He thought that Gu Zheng could choose a better one, but he did not expect that he would choose the worst one among the tens of thousands of celestial swords.
Among the tens of thousands of celestial swords, there were hundreds of purple and crimson swords. There were also many other colors. Only this one was black, and it was the first one to come out. No one knew how it came to be.
The celestial swords in the sea of swords were also divided into levels. The black one was the worst. So many celestial swords wanted to recognize Gu Zheng as their master. Of course, the worst celestial swords could not compete with the others and did not fly out.
"Gu Zheng, right? Why did you choose this sword?"
Sage Ziyun and the other four elders came over. Sage Ziyun asked first. Although Gu Zheng did not know him, he could feel his majesty.
"This is our Sect Master, Sage Ziyun!"
Chang Mei hurriedly introduced him in a low voice. Gu Zheng finally understood the identity of this person.
"Sect Master, I came from the Lower World. Before I came, I practiced saber techniques. Moreover, I have achieved a small success in saber techniques. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to make a breakthrough in sword techniques. Instead of wasting this celestial sword with a spirit, it is better to choose one at random!"
Gu Zheng answered honestly. This was also the truth.
After he finished speaking, Sage Ziyun and the others remembered that Gu Zheng came from the Lower World. Only the disciples of the Lower World who had reached the Jin Xian realm would choose celestial swords. Chang Mei briefly explained Gu Zheng's situation. In the Lower World, Gu Zheng was not a disciple of Mount Shu, but a branch of Mount Shu. Therefore, he did not practice sword techniques.
Sage Ziyun and the other elders felt that it was a pity that such a good seedling did not practice sword techniques.
However, there was nothing they could do about it. Who asked this person to come from the lower realms? They could not control him in the lower realms. There was also no rule stating that all disciples had to practice the sword. Gu Zheng cultivated the saber. From the looks of it, he had chosen a very ordinary immortal sword.
This was actually an act of caring for the celestial sword. At least, Sage Ziyun's view of Gu Zheng had somewhat changed.
"Very well. Since you have made a choice, you should treat it well!"
Sage Ziyun nodded. Sage Ziyun looked like he was in his forties. He had already reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian and was also a famous master in Untainted Land. Just as he was about to speak, an elder beside him suddenly spoke.
"Gu Zheng, there is no harm in practicing saber techniques. You are not the only one in Mount Shu who practices saber techniques. I also practice saber techniques. Why don't you become my disciple and practice with me?"
Chang Mei sighed in his heart. Sure enough, these elders were fond of talent and wanted to pull Gu Zheng into their sect. These elders were all Daluo Jinxian, and they all practiced on the main peak. If he became their disciple, he would naturally be able to stay on the main peak and practice.
Gu Zheng was just about to refuse when suddenly, two disciples rushed in from outside. They were both disciples with the strength of Jin Xian.
"Sect Master, something bad has happened!"
After the two ran in, they shouted. Sage Ziyun's face suddenly changed and he scolded, "Don't panic! Behave yourself!"
After the two disciples were reprimanded, they immediately became obedient. One of them stood firm and quickly said, "Sect Leader, only five of the disciples sent by Shu Mountain to the East Sea to subdue the demon returned. The rest were all killed. I don't know what method the demon of the East Sea used. When everyone found him, he actually broke through his cultivation and became a Golden Immortal. Moreover, his demonic skills are very powerful. He killed more than 90% of the nearly 10,000 disciples who went to subdue him. Our Shu Mountain disciples were originally at the front. In the end, only five of us were lucky enough to return!"
"What?"
Chang Mei was stunned. He hurried over and asked anxiously, "What did you say? Only five of the people from Mount Shu who went to the East Sea survived?"
"Junior Brother Chang Mei, that's right. We just got the news and came to report it. The five disciples were injured and haven't come back yet!"
This time, it was Myriad Valley Peak who went out to subdue the fiends. Additionally, they had lost more than half of their strength. Eight Gold Immortals and 500 ordinary disciples. And yet, only five of them returned. Even though all five of them were Gold Immortals, they had still lost three Gold Immortals and 500 disciples.
Chang Mei was very clear that it was impossible that all the disciples who died were ordinary disciples. The number of Jin Xian who died might be more.
"Sect Master, after that devil killed many people, he swaggered away. Before he left, he declared that no matter which sect it was that surrounded him, he would take revenge. He even mentioned that he would come to Shu Mountain!"
A demon with the strength of a Daluo Jinxian had great destructive power. Moreover, he said that he would come to Mount Shu. People who heard the news were whispering.
"Humph, it's better that he comes. Even if he doesn't come, we will find him. The blood of our disciples can't be shed in vain!"
An elder snorted. They were not worried that the demon would come to Mount Shu. After all, Mount Shu had been established for so many years. It was not that they had never offended a big demon. Some big demons had come to their door, but Mount Shu had won in the end.
They were not afraid of this demon at all.
Not to mention that there were many Daluo Jinxian in Mount Shu, the various sword formations of Mount Shu alone could kill him.
"Senior Brother Ge, who are the remaining five people of Wangu Peak?"
When the headmaster and the others stopped asking questions, Changmei stepped forward and asked anxiously. There were only five people left. He didn't know who the remaining five people were and who would never come back.
"Junior Brother Chang Mei, please restrain your grief. Among the remaining five people, only Junior Brother Gao is here. The rest are all disciples of Wangu Peak!"
Senior Brother Ge sighed and said in a low voice. Among the remaining five people, only one was a Jin Xian. This meant that this time, eight Jin Xian went to Mount Shu, and only one survived. The strength of Wangu Peak suddenly dropped by more than half.
Senior Brother Ge looked at Chang Mei's expression and shook his head secretly.
He did not tell Chang Mei that even Junior Brother Gao was seriously injured. Not only was his body disabled, but his foundation was also damaged. The damage to the foundation was more serious than any external injury. It would be difficult for him to make progress in the future. Du Wei was like this when he was on Earth.
"Senior Brother Chang Mei!"
Gu Zheng stepped forward and pulled Chang Mei. Chang Mei looked very gloomy and sad.
This was supposed to be a very easy task. Everyone thought that such a task could be completed easily and then came back to get the reward. Many people even envied them for having such a task. However, no one expected that when they came back, they would be struck by lightning.
"Gu Zheng, what do you think of my proposal?"
The Elder on the side wanted to take Gu Zheng as his disciple. He did not expect such a thing to happen suddenly. When everyone quieted down, he immediately asked again.
"Elder, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Wangu Peak has just suffered such a great disaster. At this time, I'm not in the mood to do anything else. Everything can wait until we settle down. What do you think?"
Gu Zheng originally wanted to refuse, but now he had a better reason. Even the Elder could not object to his reason. Wangu Peak had indeed suffered a great disaster. At this time, it was really unreasonable for their disciple to be apprenticed to a master.
"Well, you can deal with the affairs of Wangu Peak first. When you're done, you can come to the main peak to find me at any time!"
The elder sighed. Now that such a thing had happened to Wangu Peak, he could not force them to leave. Moreover, this time, it was not just a matter of Wangu Peak, but of the entire Shushan Mountain. That devil had mentioned that he would come to Shushan Mountain for revenge. Even if they were not afraid of this devil, they had to be prepared.
