The cultivators began to move.
The first to move were about a dozen cultivators standing in a corner.
They steered a large flying ship and led the selected fifty to sixty Martial Cultivators into it, settling them down.
The leading cultivator loudly announced: "Flowing Clouds Sect's Song Yang Zi has brought his disciples to the semester examination!"
He solemnly bowed towards the direction of the Sky Palace.
The airship slowly moved, taking the Flowing Clouds Sect's people to the palace in the sky.
Following that, an old man stood up and loudly announced: "Thousand Swords Sect's Huo Shan Fei has brought his disciples to the semester examination!"
This was the sect master of one of the biggest sects in the world, Thousand Swords Sect.
He also solemnly bowed towards the direction of the Sky Palace.
After that, a giant sword suddenly floated above the Thousand Swords Sect's cultivators. They all jumped on it, riding the giant sword towards the palace in the sky.
In just a few moments, the entire square became very lively.
The sects all took out their flying tools, taking the martial artists, qi training and Foundation Establishment realm loose cultivators who can't fly yet towards the Sky Palace.
"Dark Sea Sect's Li Yuan Xiu has brought his disciples to the semester examination"
"White Mountain Sect's Bai Jiang Hai has brought his disciples to the semester examination"
…
"Yao Guang Sect's Li Qing Yao has brought his disciples to the semester examination"
Gu Qing Shan turned to look, sure enough, she saw a familiar face among the Yao Guang Sect's people.
Leng Tian Xing nodded and smiled, sending his voice: "I'm the first trial's enforcer, let's talk more when we get up there"
Yao Guang Sect's disciples flew up to the Sky Palace in a blinding light.
"So there are so many strange flying tools in the cultivation world, how fun" Xiu Xiu watched as the sects flew up one by one, intrigued.
Gu Qing Shan smiled, saying: "Their flying tools all represent their sects' specialties"
Xiu Xiu seriously thought for a bit, then realized: "No wonder, Thousand Swords Sect's is a giant sword, Yao Guang Sect's is a light from the sea, and Spirit Beast Sect's is a ten thousand year old giant turtle"
"But, some sects still use flying ships. It's probably because they don't have the money or energy to invest in it," she said slowly.
"Not bad, Xiu Xiu is really smart," Gu Qing Shan praised, and said: "This is a good opportunity to show off your sect's charm, so that the disciples who are waiting to be selected can take a closer look, and also move the hearts of those genius disciples."
At this time, more and more sects were flying in the sky. There were all sorts of flying vehicles, causing even Gu Qing Shan to feel a little dizzy.
After a while, someone suddenly said, "Heaven's Limit Sect's Han Tian Ming has brought his disciples here for the semester examination."
Heaven's Limit Sect?
Gu Qing Shan looked over and saw Ning Yuechan immediately.
This wasn't the frontline, so she wasn't wearing armor or a mask today.
She was dressed in a rainbow-colored feather dress and stood out from the crowd like a white lotus emerging from the water.
As if sensing Gu Qing Shan's gaze, Ning Yuechan tilted her head and looked over with her limpid eyes.
— — -then focused on him.
Gu Qing Shan smiled.
Ning Yuechan also smiled.
"Why don't I see your second brother?" she squinted her eyes and sent her voice.
"… He's not feeling well"
"That's fine, then let's go up and talk"
"Alright" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Ning Yuechan's gaze finally fell on Gu Qing Shan's waist, lingering on the Earth Sword for a bit, then pouted in dissatisfaction.
Such a lively expression appearing on the cold and beautiful Heaven's Limit Saintess' face caused many male cultivators who were silently watching her to fall even deeper into the trap of love.
Gu Qing Shan, on the other hand, was soaked in cold sweat, silently regretting not hiding his sword.
"It's over, it's over, we won't even be able to run now"
Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice.
Heaven's Limit Sect was well-versed in formations, Divination, as well as powerful Elemental spells as their foundation. Because of that, their flying vessel was a giant 5-Elemental Bagua Yin Yang Wheel.
As the Bagua Yin Yang Wheel carried the people of Heaven's Limit Sect to the sky, Gu Qing Shan finally sighed in relief.
Following that, the other sects also took out their special vessels and flew towards the Heavenly Palace.
Gradually, there weren't many sects left.
Suddenly, a voice came.
"May I ask how I should address you, brother?"
As Gu Qing Shan looked back, she saw a young man about the same age as her, wearing a loose blue Daoist robe, standing behind her.
This man had a dignified appearance, his manners were flawless, his tone was gentle and polite, his attitude was humble and sincere, his cultivation seemed to be at Foundation Establishment late stage.
For Gu Qing Shan to be able to reach Foundation Establishment realm at the age of 18-19 was already quite impressive. This man was about the same age as her, but was two small realms higher, he was also a dragon among men.
When this man looked at Gu Qing Shan, it was as if he was looking at an ant, his eyes carried a kind of deep scrutiny.
Although he hid it very well, he couldn't hide it from a veteran like Gu Qing Shan.
Because of this pair of eyes, Gu Qing Shan didn't like this man.
If this man came up to talk to her, he must have some other purpose, and not just to make friends.
Sure enough, before Gu Qing Shan could say her name, the man in front of her spoke again.
"Heaven's Limit Saintess has always been paying attention to your sword, so I'm also a bit curious, but I wonder if I could take a look at it?"
These words were spoken with a very polite tone, but the content was extremely rude.
Not only did he spy on Ning Yuechan, but now he was openly asking to take a look at Gu Qing Shan's sword.
For a sword cultivator, the sword is their life, a companion that goes through thick and thin with them, their belief, how could they take it out for others to play with?
Not to mention, there are thousands of spells in the world, there are always a few that can look through a weapon to see the user's weakness.
Even more powerful ones can use a cultivator's weapon to cast filthy sorcery on them.
There are even some swords that already have their own spirit, forming a sword spirit, but were taken away by people with ulterior motives, used secret techniques to harm and destroy the sword spirit.
Personal weapons can't be borrowed, this is common knowledge among cultivators, something that any cultivator should know.
But this man was openly asking to take a look at her sword.
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "Sorry, I won't be lending it"
The man was stunned, then his expression became strange.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked.
"How would I know if you didn't tell me?" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The man shook his head and sighed: "You don't even have this much observation skills, and you still dare to come to the semester examination?"
"I'm already here" Gu Qing Shan told him the truth.
"I'll say it one last time, show me your sword"
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then replied: "It's not like I can't"
The man nodded, his expression became a bit better.
"Then show me your weapon, let me have a look at it, what do you think?" Gu Qing Shan sincerely asked.
The man's expression became grim, saying: "It's been a long time since someone dared to talk to me like that, you really won't lend it to me?"
Behind him, a few dozen cultivators wearing the same blue Daoist robes stepped forward, glaring at Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan ignored them and smiled: "I won't lend it to you"
The fact that she's asking for his sword again and again made his suppressed killing intent boil.
He looked around.
There are too many people here, if a fight breaks out, it won't be easy to protect Xiu Xiu.
Gu Qing Shan's hand was still on the sword, only pulling it back after a while.
The man also looked around, seeing that all the sect masters were looking at them, he stared at Gu Qing Shan and said: "You'll regret this"
Saying so, he left.
After he left, Xiu Xiu called out: "Senior brother"
Gu Qing Shan looked at her timid appearance, smiled and said: "It's fine"
"Can't I show a cultivator's weapon to others?" Xiu Xiu asked.
"Of course not, other than Shifu and your senior brother, no one else can" Gu Qing Shan answered very seriously.
Xiu Xiu nodded, not really understanding.
As the man returned to his sect, he suddenly shouted.
"Blue Cloud Temple, Lee Chang An, bringing my disciples to the semester examination"
All the voices went silent.
Even the sects that were about to fly up stopped, not daring to act rudely in front of this voice.
Blue Cloud Temple is one of the three Saints, Xuanyuan Tianzun's sect.
Lee Chang An is Xuanyuan Tianzun's direct disciple.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lee Chang An smiled at Gu Qing Shan.
He sent his voice through inner sight: "The sword, can you give it to me now?"
His expression was calm, his demeanor gentle, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he was waiting to see Gu Qing Shan's panicked expression.
But he was disappointed.
Gu Qing Shan only smiled at him, nodded at him, opened her mouth and silently mouthed something.
