Mysterious Sword Valley
As soon as Yun Changqing's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire space became heavy.
Xia Qingcheng stood to the side with a frown.
She had just entered the Myriad Swords Pavilion, so she didn't know much about the Heavenly Sword Gathering. When she heard about the conditions to participate in the Heavenly Sword Gathering, she wasn't worried about Chu Xingyun at all. She even thought that Chu Xingyun had a chance to win the bet.
But now, she couldn't be so optimistic.
Yun Changqing was right. With the grudge between Chu Xingyun and the Qi Clan, Qi Yuzhen wouldn't let Chu Xingyun go. Once they met, Qi Yuzhen would use his full strength without mercy.
One was at the 3rd layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, while the other was at the 7th layer of the Earth Spirit Realm. The difference in cultivation between the two was simply too great. Logically speaking, before the battle even began, everyone could already guess the final result.
Once Chu Xingyun lost, he would lose both bets. Not only would he have to release his authority as an outer court disciple, he would also have to apologize to the Qi Clan in public. This was a huge stain on his status. He would become the talk of the town, and even a laughingstock.
"No wonder Chang Chixiao suddenly mentioned the Heavenly Sword Gathering. It seems like they already had a plan," Xia Qingcheng's expression suddenly turned cold, and she said with some regret, "It seems like we've all fallen into their trap."
"Since they have a plan, even if I didn't say it, they would have other ways. The result is the same." Chu Xingyun curled his lips, but didn't dwell on this matter.
Tang Yunhuan looked at Chu Xingyun with worry, and said, "Luo Yun, this matter is extremely disadvantageous for you. Why don't you …"
"Don't worry."
Chu Xingyun knew what Tang Yunhuan wanted to say. After interrupting him, he smiled faintly and said, "I know what to do about the Heavenly Sword Gathering. If I go back on my words now, I will only fall into Chang Chixiao's trap."
"Moreover, these two bets are very important to me. I will not give up on them no matter what!"
The first bet was that as long as Chu Xingyun won the position of champion, he would have the final say in all matters of the Outer Sect. No one was allowed to interfere, not even Fan Wujie.
Only in this way would he be able to boldly and decisively reorganize the outer court completely and select geniuses in the Sword Dao that had been buried.
The second bet was about the Ten Thousand Elephant Gauntlet.
If Chu Xingyun won, the Ten Thousand Elephant Arm Gauntlet would be able to fuse with another component. Its power would be even stronger and more domineering.
These two points were especially important. Therefore, not only would Chu Xingyun not give up on the Heaven-Ascending Sword Meet, he would also try his best to seize the position of champion and win the bet!
Seeing that Chu Xingyun was so determined, the four Sword Masters did not say anything else. Yun Changqing's expression slightly recovered as he said to Chu Xingyun, "With your current cultivation, you are only one step away from stepping into the Eighth Sky of the Earth Spirit. Tomorrow, you can go to the Mysterious Sword Valley to cultivate. Perhaps it will be of some help to you."
"The Mysterious Sword Valley is open?" Xia Qingcheng's gaze froze.
Within the Wanjian Pavilion, there were many important cultivation grounds, and the Mysterious Sword Valley was one of them.
As for the Mysterious Sword Valley, the Wanjian Pavilion did not have much of an introduction. It only said that the valley was enveloped by an endless sword pressure all day long. With every step one took, the sword pressure would become stronger.
This sword pressure filled the entire heaven and earth, pressing down on a martial artist's body. Although it would cause the martial artist extreme pain, at the same time, it could also stimulate all of their potential, which was very helpful to their cultivation.
However, the Mysterious Sword Valley was only opened once a year, and only those who participated in the Heavenly Sword Assembly could enter. Otherwise, even if you were a high and mighty Sword Master, you would not have the right to enter.
Ten days later, it would be the Heavenly Sword Assembly, and the Mysterious Sword Valley would be opened at this time. The reason why Fan Wujie did this was very simple, it was to stimulate everyone's potential and break through the shackles of their cultivation in one fell swoop.
"Mysterious Sword Valley!" Chu Xingyun had naturally heard of the Mysterious Sword Valley before. He had long been interested in this valley, but he did not have the authority to enter. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he could go take a look and try to break through the shackles of his cultivation and enter the Eighth Sky of the Earth Spirit.
After explaining this matter, the four Sword Masters left the Sword Master Peak one after another.
As for Xia Qingcheng, she did not leave. She chose a courtyard on the mountainside and stayed there.
At this time, the night gradually darkened.
The noisy Wanjian Pavilion finally returned to its peaceful state.
After all the outer court disciples finished their day of bitter cultivation, they all fell into a deep sleep, preparing to conserve their energy and prepare to enter the Mysterious Sword Valley tomorrow.
The large outer court area was very quiet. Only the rustling sound of the night wind sweeping through the ancient trees could be heard.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a figure flashed past. Like an invisible ghost, it quickly ran through the night as it carefully scanned the surroundings. It appeared to be very cautious.
Finally, this figure arrived at the Martial Arts Practice Field.
This person walked to the center of the Martial Arts Practice Field with ease. He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind. He had actually directly entered a state of cultivation.
Not long after, a slight buzzing sound was heard, and a thick blue light burst out from the man's body. The light rushed into the sky and condensed into a bewitching fox beast in the night sky. Its body was light and graceful, and it moved like an elf.
The moment this fox beast appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth trembled, transforming into misty streams of light that poured into that person's body, causing the blue light to become even thicker, and the image of the blue fox to become even more condensed and agile.
"Today, I should be able to step into the fourth level of the Earth Spirit Stage!" Feeling the vast aura within the Spiritual Sea, that person's heart burned with passion. He calmed himself down and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy with all his might.
However, at the same time, a sigh slowly sounded out, "Why do you have to do this?"
This voice was not loud, but when it entered that person's ears, it was like a clap of thunder, causing his entire body to bounce up. Before he could even move, two pitch-black figures appeared in front of him.
These two figures, one old and one young, were both wearing the clothes of the outer court deacons. They were looking at that person with a helpless expression, and the old deacon was shaking his head with a pitiful expression.
"Every time night falls, no disciple is allowed to stay in the public training grounds, so as to not disturb the quiet cultivation of others. If there is a violation, you will be locked up for three days. You should be very clear about this."
The old deacon looked at the person in front of him and said earnestly, "From the moment you entered the sect until now, you have already violated it a total of five times. If news of what happened tonight were to spread, I'm afraid it would alarm the elders. At that time, the name Shui Qianyue will no longer exist in the outer court!"
Whoosh!
The moment his voice fell, a wild gust of night wind swept past, completely dispersing the dark clouds that enveloped the bright moon.
The bright moon reappeared, and the gentle moonlight once again fell, shining on that person's body.
In the dark night, an exquisite face with a slightly flustered expression gradually appeared.
This person was actually Shui Qianyue!
