Lou Xiaoyi chose to reserve the last spot. His current knowledge was still somewhat lacking, and he needed to constantly interact with people to slowly discover his own shortcomings. Only then would he be able to find a way to deal with them.
There were still ten years before he could obtain a new quota. It was still too early!
He also didn't ask when the competition between the inner and outer swords would begin. It seemed like this matter wasn't fixed in Xuanyuan either. For a cultivator, the most important thing was to have one's own rhythm. One couldn't sharpen one's spear at the last minute just because the competition was about to begin. This wasn't in line with the rules of cultivation.
Right now, he didn't have anywhere to go. The only people he was familiar with, Cigarette Box and Ashtray, had also gone out on a mission together. When he first left, they had even asked him about his intentions … Now, in such a large dome, there wasn't even a single person to talk to.
Three months later, a sword order came from the Ascension Hall, requesting him to gather. Lou Xiaoyi sighed. This was an involuntary cultivation!
When he arrived at the Ascension Hall, under the guidance of a senior brother, he walked to the highest point of the Thousand Virtues Peak. Sword Qi rushed to the Soaring Heaven Pavilion. This was the core of the outer swords, and all the affairs of the sect from the Yuanying and below were handled here. In the dome, there was another sect with the same function, the Chaotic Thunder Palace. Although the Thunder Palace was more powerful, in terms of the number of cultivators under their jurisdiction, the Soaring Heaven Pavilion was more than ten streets ahead of the Thunder Palace!
Foundation Establishment cultivators weren't directly managed by the Soaring Heaven Pavilion. Instead, they were assigned to a branch of the Ascension Hall. However, in this competition with the inner swords, the Ascension Hall didn't have the qualifications to interfere. Instead, it was directly arranged by the outer Swordsman of the Soaring Heaven Pavilion!
In terms of status, don't look at the position of the Ascension Hall's Palace Master. In reality, his position in the sect might not even be as high as that of the Soaring Heaven Pavilion's Deacon!
The reason was simple. The Ascension Hall only dealt with the various Foundation Establishment chores in the dome. Its Palace Master and Vice Palace Master were mostly old and incompetent people. What mattered was loyalty and ability. On the other hand, the cultivators of the Soaring Heaven Pavilion had to deal with the outside world all year round. In terms of ability, combat strength was often the most important.
They were not allowed to enter through the main entrance. This was what that senior martial brother had told them over and over again. Only cultivators of the Jin Dan realm and above were allowed to enter through the main entrance. This was not discrimination, but rather the fact that there were tens of thousands of cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment realm. If there were no rules, sooner or later, the threshold of the Soaring Heaven Pavilion would be ground down!
It was a side door behind the Sword Qi Rushing Heaven Pavilion's enormous building complex. On the door, there were two intersecting swords. The symbol was so clear that he was not afraid that he would not be able to find it.
The door was closed. Maybe it was because Lou Xiaoyi was the last to arrive, or maybe he was too slow, so he was the last to arrive?
Pushing open the door and entering was obviously impolite, and probing with Divine Sense was just asking for trouble in the Skyrising Tower that was filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. So, he obediently knocked on the door.
The door opened. There was no one in sight, only a faint voice.
"Sword Qi Soaring Heaven Pavilion is an important place, unauthorized people are not allowed to enter! Whose disciple are you? Which cave residence? What brings you here? "
Lou Xiaoyi was speechless! With his cultivation, age, time, and place, what else could he possibly be here for? He said he was here to look for Little Miss, could he?
"This disciple is Cigarette Butt. I was summoned by Meng Denglin Hall to gather here. I don't know the details."
A Divine Sense swept over him. "You're the first person to come to Thousand Elegance Peak's Skyrising Tower to use Daoist escape techniques instead of flying on swords! With the characteristics of your escape technique, you don't have the valiant bearing and imposing manner of a Swordsman, yet you still dare to participate in the internal and external sword competition? I'm afraid you're just someone who doesn't dare to leave the mountain and is relying on this to get by, right? "
Lou Xiaoyi thought, 'You're really smart.' He respectfully asked, "May I know which Martial Uncle senior is?"
In the Xuanyuan Sword Faction, Swordsman had to answer each other's questions out of courtesy, regardless of seniority. So, although the voice was somewhat unwilling, it still snorted.
"Gu Huang!"
Lou Xiaoyi immediately answered. "It's hard to explain why I'm here. It's not entirely voluntary. If Martial Uncle Gu Huang thinks I'm not qualified, I'll just go back …"
He turned around and was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by an inexplicable force!
"Stop! You want to push the blame to me? You want to go back and enjoy yourself? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and the bridges I've crossed are longer than the roads you've walked. You want to show off your cleverness here? Go in obediently. If you dare to have any thoughts, I'll beat you up! "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed dryly as he walked in. He thought, 'Couldn't you have made way earlier? Why did you talk so much nonsense, making it seem like I was being nosy! '
There weren't many twists and turns inside. There were two forks on the left and right, each leading to a side hall. He heard voices on the left, so he walked in. There were dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators standing solemnly inside. He hurriedly walked to the back and quietly stood there, his heart trembling!
Xuanyuan Sword Faction was truly filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers! He didn't even need to use his Divine Sense to feel that the cultivators around him had deep cultivations and surging magic power. None of them were inferior to him!
As expected! He had always mingled in the outer cultivator circle and had never come into contact with the local and old sects. Now, it seemed that they were truly formidable. They stood out one by one, full of energy and imposing manner. He really couldn't compare to them!
He immediately clamped his tail between his legs again! It seemed that his strategy was correct. When he went out seven years ago, he encountered a few soft persimmons, which was why he was able to kill four people in a row. If he encountered cultivators of this level, how could he kill four people in a row?
A Jin Dan above was calling out names according to the roster. He couldn't be blamed for using such a primitive method. There were simply too many external sword Foundation Establishment cultivators. There were tens of thousands of them, and it was impossible to recognize all of them. Moreover, Jin Dan didn't come into contact with them all the time in the Ascension Hall. Instead, he spent most of his time in the core Sword Aura Rushing to the Heavens Pavilion. How could he have the opportunity to come into contact with these low-level Foundation Establishment cultivators?
The roll call was quick and without hesitation until a voice shouted, "Cigarette butt!"
Two voices answered at the same time. They were Lou Xiaoyi and another female cultivator! Dozens of pairs of eyes immediately swept over. Lou Xiaoyi remained calm. Was this woman crazy? How could she joke in this kind of situation?
However, the female cultivator's face was filled with anger. Her phoenix-like eyes widened as she glared fiercely at the last person to come in and cause trouble!
She had a peerlessly beautiful face and a bit of an icy fairy. She was famous among the domed Foundation Establishment female Swordsman. Hailing from her hometown, the Azure Sky Great World, she usually had many suitors. However, she focused on cultivation and never paid any attention to them. Who knew that this guy would openly flirt in such a serious situation to show that he stood out from the crowd? He was courting death!
However, no one moved or even uttered a word. This was because Martial Uncle Jin Dan was here!
The host, Jin Dan, frowned. In truth, he wasn't too sure either. He was usually busy running around outside and had only returned for a few years. How could he know these little fellows?
Carefully examining the jade slip in his hand, he saw that it was clearly written on it: Smoker, female, entered the sect for thirty years. Hails from the Azure Sky Great World's northern region!
Thus, his eyes narrowed as he stared at the troublemaker.
"Who are you? Why are you here to cause trouble? If you don't tell me the truth, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the Rushing to the Heavens Pavilion today! "
