Ling Ruofeng led a group of junior brothers and sisters to a beginner's stage below Thousand Elegance Peak, sweating profusely!
Xuanyuan had twenty thousand external swords, but the majority of them were always at the beginner's stage!
If one were to look at those elite and outstanding disciples, it would seem that their cultivation realm was never a problem, nor was their swordsmanship a problem. As time passed, their cultivation realm increased, and their swordsmanship improved, as if it was a matter of course.
But if one were to look at the group as a whole, the cruelty of the cultivation world would truly show itself.
Not everyone could easily advance from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage, to the later stage, or even to the peak stage. Not everyone could complete the engraving and refining of a flying sword in a few years, or even dozens of years, and then begin the refining of the next flying sword!
For many cultivators, the middle stage was a hurdle, and the later stage was an even bigger hurdle. There were many who could not reach the Great Circle of Foundation Establishment. It was the same for swordsmanship. There were many disciples who could not even master a single flying sword after a few decades!
This was a common phenomenon in cultivation.
There were always people coming in, and there were always people leaving. When you were unable to raise your cultivation realm, and had no talent in swordsmanship, after a few decades of suffering, cultivators would inevitably seek another direction for themselves.
My heart is for the Dao, my heart is for the sword, and I will not regret it even in death. After all, such people were rare. Swordsman had always been a tradition with a very low success rate, and this had never changed!
Therefore, the beginner's stage was always the majority, and it was always overcrowded!
The Ice Lake Stage was one of the most famous beginner's stages. It had a wide view and beautiful scenery, attracting countless Swordsman. It was also the most popular place for beginner disciples to train their swordsmanship, and it was hard to find a single one!
A total of twenty battle arenas were lined up in a row. The winner would stay and the loser would leave. There were many cultivators. Often, after being defeated in a battle, they would have to line up for another two hours before they could get the chance to fight again.
Waiting was torturous, but there were also some who did not have to wait long. For example, there were two stages in the east, where ten Swordsman were gathered around. They were either fighting one on one, or in pairs, and were having a great time.
A cultivator said with dissatisfaction, "So the stage can be reserved? How come I didn't know there was such a rule? "
A cultivator beside him said with disdain, "There's no such thing as reserved! It's just that he has a powerful backer behind him that we can't afford to offend! "
The cultivator straightened his neck. "Thigh? We Swordsman compete to see whose sword is faster, whose sword is more vicious, and who has more tricks up their sleeves. I've never heard of a competition of thighs!
I also know a few martial brothers who have elders in high positions in Xuanyuan, but I don't see them being spoiled and arrogant.
How thick was this thigh? So crude that many people are afraid of it? "
A cultivator in the know laughed. "His legs aren't that thick! He's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator like us, but his legs are formidable because they're in the right place! There are over ten thousand disciples under the Thousand Elegance Peak. Regardless of whether it is missions, arrangements, rewards, punishments, or excursions, the Thousand Elegance Peak has a say in everything. From a certain perspective, the Thousand Elegance Peak is even more in control than the various halls. Tell me, if you offended such an existence while you were at the bottom of the Thousand Elegance Peak, would you accept it or not? "
Seeing that the cultivator was still in a daze, the person in the know sighed. "The Foundation Establishment Eldest Senior Brother of Thousandgrace Peak! He's ranked eleventh on the list of five-ringed Foundation Establishment cultivators. In the past several thousand years, he's the expert closest to the top ten of our Xuanyuan's external sword lineage. Tell me, who would dare ignore his legs? Who could ignore it?
You have to know that Eldest Senior Brother has only been in the sect for 30 years! He had already reached this stage. If he were to enter the sect for a hundred years, oh no, after a hundred years, he might not even be in the Foundation Establishment Realm anymore. In just another thirty years, he would definitely have a place in the top ten!
Do you think you can offend such a character just because you want to? "
This insider was a person who only believed in the rankings. He was proud of the glory of his family's External Sword, but he would not investigate how the rankings came about and whether it was justified or not. However, there were also those who were more serious, or perhaps those who were jealous, who immediately stood up to refute.
"Eleven is the ranking board's own words! Let's not talk about whether or not he has fought with the top ten experts. Even if he has fought with those after that, have any of you heard of his battle record?
I personally think that the 99% in the Upper Realm is still reliable, but to jump up a thousand ranks in just three years doesn't conform to the laws of cultivation! Right now, this ranking is ridiculous and has no basis at all!
I, Xuanyuan, raise my cultivation through battle and am not afraid of challenges. This is something that can be won with strength, so why would I use unorthodox methods? Does Xuanyuan lack such a ranking?
Thus, whether or not he is Eldest Senior Brother still needs time to prove! I don't think so. When his bubble in the sect is exposed, it will be the moment he loses face on the ranking board!
Right now, these people are so complacent that they think they are Eldest Senior Brother's fellow cultivators. It won't be long before they spit out all the advantages they have gained. The higher they stand, the harder they fall. They will become the laughingstock of Thousand Elegance Peak! "
Originally, it was about the distribution of the Sword Battle Arena, but in the end, it was about whether or not Eldest Senior Brother was justified. However, the latter question was obviously more attractive. Many cultivators who were waiting for the Sword Battle Arena to battle gathered around!
How could the person who knew the truth from before be willing to take this lying down?
"There's no use in talking about this. The ranking board has been able to establish its reputation in the Fifth Ring for tens of thousands of years. It has grown bigger and bigger because of its accuracy, not because of blind guesses!
Regardless of whether it was the previous nine, nine, or the current eleven, there is a reason behind it! Let me ask you one thing. If ten of you, Hai Huzi, were tied together, would you dare to say that you killed the nine elite cultivators of the Three Pure Ones until they didn't dare to show their faces?
Are you looking for evidence? You have to have the qualifications first! If you don't know, then it doesn't count? Say that again when you become a Nascent Soul or a Monarch! With your current conduct, is there anything in the Fifth Ring that requires you to nod your head to prove?
Unorthodox methods? What right do you have to say that? Just because you didn't see it with your own eyes? "
Feeling the urge to insult others, the insider began to shoot his mouth off.
"It's normal for people to have doubts. However, it's not our turn! Which of those Senior Brothers in front of us is willing to have someone ride on their heads? Why haven't they said anything in the past half a year? They didn't even challenge the Sword Battle Arena?
Or do they know that it's useless to try?
What do you mean by Xuanyuan lacks a ranking? Pei! Go and look at Xuanyuan's history!
Xuanyuan has many such honors! Because they have the Inner Sword! Do we have the Outer Sword?
If not for Eldest Senior Brother standing up for us this time, the Outer Sword wouldn't even be in the top 100! Yet you still want to vent your energy and weaken yourself here. The reason the Outer Sword is so weak is because there are too many people like you. Many people think that the Outer Sword is the Inner Sword's follower. When the Inner Sword has a strong opponent, they applaud and think that it's right and proper. When they have a strong opponent, they feel discouraged and pick on them in every possible way …
Don't be an Outer Sword. Just be a concubine! "
How could Hai Huzi stand this person's sarcasm? In an instant, they were in a mess. There were also countless people who used underhanded methods, black fists, and tripping. Fortunately, no one dared to use their Inner Sword …
