Under tens of thousands of expectant eyes, Burning Firewood's sleeves fluttered in the wind, and his movements were calm.
The way he approached the top of the cliff was beyond everyone's expectations. He didn't carry himself in, use a barrier to climb in, or use all kinds of strange methods.
He just walked in directly! The strange thing was that the Swordsman didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him.
Could it be that they knew each other?
Under everyone's gaze, the two of them sat cross-legged facing each other and took out their wine jugs.
Maybe they wanted to talk before the battle? And then fight?
At the top of the cliff, the two of them drank a cup. Burning Firewood asked, "How does it feel to sit here?"
Lou Xiaoyi shook his head. "Boring! I even have to hold it when I fart! "
Burning Firewood laughed and asked again, "What do you think of the ranking list?"
Lou Xiaoyi thought for a while. "Boring!"
Burning Firewood laughed. "But it can satisfy some people's spiritual needs! So even though it's not beneficial to the Great Dao, it still exists, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger!
In the end, the stage of Foundation Establishment is still too small. Cultivators need a reasonable place to release their spiritual power! "
The two of them drank another cup. This time, it was Lou Xiaoyi's turn to ask, "Is that gourd coming or not? I'm so anxious waiting!"
Burning Firewood found it funny. "Do you care so much about fighting with the so-called number one?"
Lou Xiaoyi played with the wine cup. "I might have cared when I first came, but I don't care now! I just don't want to wait for someone … "
Burning Firewood nodded. "As far as I know, the gourd seems to have hung back on the vine to seed. Wood-type spiritual monsters like them can't be measured by human time."
Lou Xiaoyi expressed his understanding. There was nothing to be happy about, but he wasn't disappointed either.
The two of them didn't talk anymore. They raised their cups and drank the third cup. Burning Firewood swayed in the air.
"See you in the martial world!"
This was how strong cultivators interacted with each other. Even if they couldn't become friends at first sight, they wouldn't become mortal enemies unless it was a matter of mutual benefit. When they interacted with each other, they would control themselves and not touch each other's bottom line. This was a sign that cultivators had matured. It also meant that their mental state had reached the next level!
Lou Xiaoyi did not want to prove anything by defeating him, and Burning Firewood did not want to prove himself by pulling down the swordsman. There was only one word to describe their mentality: boring!
On the path of cultivation, there was no need to prove anything to others! Cultivators only needed to prove themselves!
Among the top ten five-ring Foundation Establishment cultivators, Lou Xiaoyi had only met six of them. The tenth, Three Pure Ones, Yu Gu, was dead. The ninth, Yan Fa of the Zhiyuan Pavilion, the sixth, Shang Xin, the fifth, Zhen Danzi, the third, Shou Ru, the second, Burned Incense … There were still four who had not come. The reasons were different, but there was one basic reason — they did not care!
Not caring was also a state of mind! They didn't care about the loss of their personal reputation, the loss of their ranking, and perhaps the cowards behind their sect. In the Fifth Ring, no sect would forcefully send their cultivators to obtain a ranking. In terms of cultivation philosophy, this was a kind of regression!
However, the sect needed to maintain their reputation, so they would always be half-hidden. When an outstanding disciple refused, would the sect force him because he saw through the essence of honor?
When Burning Firewood left, the cultivators at the foot of the Fish Leap Cliff booed loudly. It was unknown whether they were booing Burning Firewood or Lou Xiaoyi!
However, the two of them didn't take this to heart. They had been waiting for a big show for almost ten years, but one of the main actors had run away. It was understandable that they were upset. Although they also had a premonition that there might not be another big show, since they had waited for so long, they should at least watch the curtain call before leaving, right?
At this time, everyone was looking forward to the number one treasured gourd, or the peerless Foundation Establishment cultivator of some hidden sect to appear out of nowhere, just like in the novels.
However, a biography was a biography, and reality was reality. The reality was that there were many people fanning the flames, but none of them went up. At this time, if they went up and were killed by a sword, not only would they lose their lives, but they would also embarrass themselves and their sect!
The most excited were the Swordsman. They were already discussing how to hold a grand and unique celebration ceremony!
Of course, the location was at the Flat Sky Plateau, right below the Fish Leap Cliff. This was the only place where the glory of the Sword Vein could be spread everywhere along with the rise of their leader!
All kinds of ideas and plans were brainstormed. Countless banners and banners were being made in a hurry. They were the only happy group on the Flat Sky Plateau, receiving the envious gazes of countless cultivators around them.
Yan Bo said, "Little Yi doesn't have an opponent now, so he can't show off the power of the Sword Vein. Why don't I go up and fight him now?
Fish Leap Cliff, two swords shining. That feeling … "
Guang Hua, the leader at the side, immediately rejected the idea. "Two swords competing for glory, that means they're evenly matched! If the difference is too great, it'll be a flying sword chopping meat target!
I say, Yan Bo, do you have any brains? What's the point of this fake fight? Do you think everyone is blind? Are you stupid? Then you'll expose the butt of my inner sword in front of all the people of the Fifth Ring?
If you want to go up the Fish Leap Cliff, my inner sword will go up there by itself! "
As time passed, the seven sword spirits on the Wave Bursting Cliff competed with each other! The most anxious one was the Sword Spirit of the navy. Seeing his brothers hitting the water in the dozens of stages while he was choking on the water in the most gentle shoal, this was intolerable for a Sword Spirit!
Lou Xiaoyi watched quietly. He liked the atmosphere of the sword spirits chasing each other. He was happy for their every success, and sighed for their every failure.
For the time being, he couldn't think of a better way to improve his swordsmanship, but that wasn't his focus now!
The closer it was to the ten-year deadline, the more boring he felt sitting here. The meaningful thing was the process, and the meaningless thing was the final honor. If Senior Brother Guang Bei could see this, would he agree to insert his broken sword here?
Was he, Lou Xiaoyi, fulfilling his wish? Or was he fulfilling Senior Brother Guang Bei's wish? Or was he using the name of Senior Brother Promise …
Looking at the sword in the middle of the cliff, he began to doubt himself!
In the past ten years, there had been people who had tried to pull out this sword, because pulling it out meant that the person who inserted the sword had failed, or at least had to start all over again!
But in front of Lou Xiaoyi, it was easier said than done to pull it out in the middle of a battle!
The Fish Leap Cliff's array was very magical. No matter what your cultivation was, as long as someone wanted to pull it out, they had to use all their strength. Under the threat of the flying sword, who would have the opportunity to use all their strength to pull out the sword?
Unless it was him!
But now, he had an impulse to pull it out!
Of course, the person who inserted the sword could also pull it out! This meant that the person who inserted the sword voluntarily gave up! But the Fifth Ring had its own ranking. For tens of thousands of years, there had been cultivators who died on the cliff, but there had never been a coward who knew that he couldn't beat them and gave up!
