"Although the Sword-cleansing Pool belongs to our sect in the Western Regions, your comparison is too biased towards the Sword-cleansing Pool. I can't stand it anymore." A sensible yellow-robed cultivator in the crowd said.
"The number of disciples in the Sword Sect is the least among the Seven Great Dao Sects. In addition, it is said that the total number of disciples in the Sword Sect who are at the Nascent Soul Realm is less than 300.
As the number one sword sect in the Western Regions, the Sword-cleansing Pool has hundreds of thousands of disciples, including nearly 10,000 disciples at the Nascent Soul Realm.
With such a large base, there is one more disciple on the list than the Sword Sect. Does it mean that the younger generation of the Sword Sect is not as good as the Sword-cleansing Pool?
Besides, don't you know who the first place of the Yellow Board is?
Haoran Sword Ji Chuan!
You have to understand that among the disciples on the list, the highest ranking disciple of the Sword-cleansing Pool is only ranked 37th. "
After being lectured by the yellow-robed cultivator, the grey-robed cultivator who spoke earlier also understood the gap between them. He lowered his head and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that the grey-robed cultivator didn't refute, the yellow-robed cultivator who won the debate became interested and continued, "The Sword Sect has always been known for its small number of disciples. Therefore, the number of Void Refinement Realm cultivators in the sect is more than that of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, which violates the unique phenomenon of the pyramid structure.
Although there are only two disciples from the Sword Sect on the Yellow Board, there are nine disciples from the Sword Sect on the Xuan Board, which is the most among all the sects in the world. "
Hearing the yellow-robed cultivator's words, the others also looked at the Xuan Board.
They counted and calculated in their hearts and found that it was true.
The Tai Qing Palace of the Dao Sect had the most disciples, but there were only seven disciples on the Xuan Board.
With this comparison, they knew the horror of the Sword Sect.
"Moreover, looking at the four boards, the Sword Sect actually occupies two of the first places. They are Ji Chuan, the first place of the Yellow Board, and Taibai Sword Master, the first place of the Heaven Board. Doesn't this mean something?"
At this time, the grey-robed cultivator was completely speechless.
In fact, he just suddenly found that the number of disciples from the Sword Sect on the Yellow Board was less than that of the Sword-cleansing Pool, so he didn't think much and blurted it out.
But the moment he said it, he had already noticed something wrong.
However, he didn't expect that he would bump into an elder brother who understood him. In the end, he was taught a lesson by him. It could be said that he was very depressed.
"Just the two first rankers aren't that impressive." The young woman in light yellow clothes actually took over the conversation at this moment, and said in a clear voice, "The most impressive thing about the Sword Sect is that they produced their strongest cultivator at the seventh level, Fairy Luo, Xia Daoyun."
When Xia Daoyun's name was mentioned, the cultivators immediately began to discuss amongst themselves.
Evidently, this name was very well-known.
This was indeed the case. One had to understand that Xia Daoyun was the first cultivator to be named the most powerful after so many years of the Heaven's Secrets Observatory's Four Rankings.
How could an unprecedented cultivator not be famous?
"It's said that this Luoshen Fairy has done something big recently." Seeing that everyone's attention was on her, the young girl decided to reveal some exclusive news about her family.
"What is it? Little girl, don't keep us in suspense. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it." A middle-aged male cultivator with sideburns had an impatient personality, and he urged her.
"What's the rush?" The young girl's nose was slightly raised. She was a bit dissatisfied with the middle-aged male cultivator's urging, but she still spoke in a tidy manner in the end. "It's said that some time ago, there was an eighth level Greater Demon King in the eastern region. I don't know what kind of gall he ate, but he actually dared to threaten the Sword Sect.
Later on, Luoshen Fairy directly charged into the Demon King's lair with a single sword strike, and killed him with a single strike. "
When the young girl mentioned her master's name, Lu Qingshan, who was also listening to the news, couldn't help but click his tongue.
This eighth level Greater Demon King who ate a bear's heart and a leopard's gall couldn't be the Origin Demon King, right?
Lu Qingshan guessed inwardly.
"A single strike? Was it really just a single strike? " When the cultivators present heard the young girl's narration, they immediately cried out in alarm. They found it hard to believe, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't Luoshen Fairy just reach the eighth level a few decades ago? How could she be so powerful and ferocious? "
"That's right, she only used a single strike! Otherwise, how could Luoshen Fairy be the strongest seventh level cultivator? Naturally, she's so powerful that she's boundless. " The young girl was beaming with joy, as if she had personally witnessed Xia Daoyun's heroic demonic bearing. Her voice was full of worship.
In response to the doubts of the bystanders, the young girl said with disdain, "Luoshen Fairy has an astonishing battle record of killing a cultivator of the eighth level with a cultivation of the seventh level.
Once she reaches the eighth level and discovers that a Demon King has come to provoke her, she will fly into a rage. So what if she kills a mere eighth level Demon King with a single strike? "
"Oh …" When Lu Qingshan heard this, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
Xia Daoyun was very powerful. There was nothing much to say about that.
However, with his master's temperament, how could she fly into a rage after killing an eighth level Demon King?
When she saw the shocked expressions of the surrounding cultivators, the young girl, who felt exceptionally satisfied, finally gathered herself. She shouted to her older brother, "Let's go, big brother. Let's go to Wind Ridge River to see the 'tide'!"
"See the tide at Wind Ridge River?" When Lu Qingshan heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
"What? Are you also going to join in on the fun?" The young girl's eyes and ears were extremely sharp. When she saw Lu Qingshan's reaction, she enthusiastically called out, "Do you want to go together?"
The reason why the young girl was so enthusiastic was because she was naive and naive, so she wasn't too wary of others. The second reason was that she had just exchanged a few words with Lu Qingshan. She felt that this person was considerate and easy to get along with.
Of course, the most important thing was that this fellow daoist was very good-looking. He looked like a good person!
"Ping 'er …" When he saw his younger sister call out to an unfamiliar cultivator, the young male cultivator was a bit dumbfounded. He called out weakly.
"Sure, that's exactly what I was thinking." On the other side, Lu Qingshan had already agreed with a chuckle.
The young male cultivator's words were immediately stuffed back down his throat.
Although he was more cautious than his younger sister, he was still a new cultivator who was thin-skinned.
His younger sister had just warmly invited Lu Qingshan, so he couldn't just turn around and push Lu Qingshan away.
Perhaps in a few decades, he would be able to do this without batting an eyelid, but right now, he could only secretly feel uncomfortable in his heart.
The young girl clearly didn't notice that her brother was sulking at the side. She cheerfully introduced herself, "We are from the White Horse Li Family. My name is Li Baoping, and this is my older brother, Li Zhanjin."
One water bottle, one wine cup. These two siblings' names were extremely cute. Their father must be a wonderful person.
"May I know this fellow daoist's name?" Although Li Zhanjin felt uncomfortable in his heart, he was still a person with a good upbringing. When he saw his younger sister introduce him, he couldn't give Lu Qingshan an angry look. He cupped his hands and politely asked.
"Lu Qingshan." Lu Qingshan laughed and didn't hide his name.
Li Baoping and Li Zhanjin naturally wouldn't associate a random cultivator they met on the road with the unreachable champion of the Seven Regions Dao Discussion just because of a name.
After all, Qingshan wasn't an uncommon name. There were countless people with this name in the world.
While chatting, the three of them had already left the White Horse City and were rushing towards the Great Wind Mountain River.
The girl sized up Lu Qingshan and suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't seem to be from our White Continent?"
"How do you know?" Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in surprise.
Li Baoping giggled and replied, "'From the west of the White Continent, everyone has deep eyes'. It refers to the people from the White Continent all the way to the west. Their eye sockets are more or less sunken, unlike you, whose eye sockets are full."
Lu Qingshan did not expect that such a muddle-headed young lady would be so meticulous. He immediately smiled and replied, "I am originally from the south. Later on, I joined a sect in the east. Due to some reasons, I ended up in this place."
The south he was talking about was the Southern Region, but in the eyes of the Li siblings, it naturally meant the southern provinces.
Knowing that Lu Qingshan came from another place, Li Baoping's eyes lit up. "This is the first time I've left home for a long journey, and it's only because of the 'tide' of the Windy Mountain River that my father let me out. If there's a chance, I'll definitely go to a place further away."
Lu Qingshan didn't comment.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan and her brother didn't pay much attention to her, the girl didn't get angry. She started to talk about her little thoughts again.
"One day, when I cultivate the Golden Elixir, I will definitely travel the world and meet those legendary people on the Yellow Board … If I can talk to them, that would be great …"
Li Baoping had the temperament of a young girl, and chattered along the way, "If … if one day I can make a name for myself, that would be even better. I have already thought of a name, 'One Sword Opens the Source', 'One Sword Opens the Source' Li Baoping …"
"One Sword Opens the Source," Lu Qingshan, who had been paying attention to Li Baoping, was interested and asked, "Fellow Daoist Baoping is also a sword cultivator?"
"Of course! Our Li family is a family of swordsmen. Otherwise, why would Big Brother and I be in such a hurry to watch the 'tide'? "Li Baoping said methodically. He turned to look at Li Zhanjin." Big Brother, am I right? "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Zhanjin glared at Li Baoping who was about to reveal all of his secrets and answered perfunctorily.
"You should also be a sword cultivator, or else why are you here?" Li Baoping asked Lu Qingshan in return.
"Of course, I heard about the name of the Fengling River and wanted to see it," Lu Qingshan nodded and then asked casually, "How far are we from the Fengling River now, and who is the person who started the tide this time?"
Li Baoping was very enthusiastic and said, "The Fengling River is near the White Horse City, so it's not far. With our speed, we should be there in a day or so. As for the person who started the tide this time, it is' Blue Wave Sword 'Qian Liu, who is ranked 98th on the Yellow Board."
At the mention of the Jade Wave Sword, Li Baoping's eyes immediately shone with a divine light. It was obvious that he was full of admiration for it. He was also very familiar with it, and spoke endlessly about it.
"Blue Wave Sword Qian Liu, Peak Nascent Soul Stage, cultivates the Peak Stage Water Sword Intent, and the Unity Stage Slaughter Sword Intent.
His Life Sword is a middle-grade Heaven Artifact, Flowing Snow, and is good at external attacks. He once killed an early fifth-grade Water Tiger Great Demon … "
"Blue Wave Sword …" Lu Qingshan repeated the name and nodded slightly, continuing to chat with the two.
.....
A day later, the three of them finally arrived at the Fengling River.
There were many tide-viewing pavilions on both sides of the river, and there were many people moving around. It was very lively.
If one looked carefully, they would be surprised to find that the people in the pavilions were all cultivators.
The so-called 'tide' was naturally not the tide of the Fengling River.
Although the tide of the Fengling River was indeed surging and had the reputation of being the best in the world, how could a mere natural scene attract cultivators?
The 'tide' that these cultivators wanted to see was actually a sword tide.
Among the sword cultivator sects in the world, the Eastern Sword Sect was the only Daoist Sect, and the second was the Western Sword Cleansing Pool.
But who in the second position would be willing to stay in this position?
The Sword Cleansing Pool wanted to become a Daoist Sect, or even replace the Sword Sect, for a long time.
For so many years, the Sword Cleansing Pool had been planning to raise their sect's reputation outside and their sect's strength inside.
And this Fengling River Sword Tide was a grand event that the Sword Cleansing Pool created to promote their sect's reputation.
Every ten years, when the tide of the Fengling River was at its peak, the Sword Cleansing Pool would send out their disciples to accept challenges from sword cultivators in the Fengling River.
They didn't hurt anyone, nor did they seek wealth. More importantly, it was to show that the sect's disciples were strong and invincible in the same realm, thus raising their sect's reputation.
It was called 'sword washing'.
Sword arts were a form of combat. Whether it was fighting against experts or watching experts exchange blows, it was beneficial for sword cultivators to improve their sword arts.
So every time the Sword Cleansing Pool's disciples washed their swords in the Fengling River, sword cultivators who wanted to challenge or watch would flood in.
So it was called 'tide watching' by busybodies.
Riverside area, Tide Viewing Tower.
The young girl, Li Baoping, had already booked a private room on the top floor, facing the Fengling River. The vast river was right in front of her.
Lu Qingshan could be considered to have benefited from the Li siblings. Otherwise, with such a lively scene, how could there be such a good spot for him to watch the tide?
Most likely, they would be waiting for him on a nearby hillside.
There were many dishes on the table, but the Li siblings were clearly not in the mood. They kept looking at the center of the Fengling River, as if waiting for something to come.
Lu Qingshan, on the other hand, was eating happily.
"It's here!" Li Baoping suddenly said excitedly.
At the same time, the densely packed crowd of spectators suddenly became restless.
Lu Qingshan followed Li Baoping's gaze.
He saw a blue-robed cultivator flying over on his sword, followed by more than ten sword cultivators of different cultivation levels.
More than ten streaks of sword light flew over at the same time, it was a spectacular sight.
The blue-robed cultivator's figure finally stopped above the center of the Fengling River.
"This time, the Fengling River Sword Cleansing Pond sent out a total of fourteen sword cultivators, ranging from early Golden Elixir to late Nascent Soul stage. There are a total of seven stages, and there are two guards for each stage. Fellow sword cultivators, if you are interested, you can come up and teach me." The blue-robed cultivator channeled his spiritual power into his voice, and his voice instantly spread across both sides of the river.
"As for the last person to hit the tide …" The blue-robed cultivator paused, then continued, "It will be me … I am 'Jade Wave Sword' Qian Liu, Peak Nascent Soul stage. I also welcome everyone to teach me."
"The rules are the same as before. Fellow sword cultivators can only challenge those of the same cultivation level or higher.
For those of the same cultivation level, Golden Elixir cultivators will receive two spirit crystals as a reward, Nascent Soul cultivators will receive five spirit crystals as a reward. If someone can beat me … I will give you ten spirit crystals as a reward! " Qian Liu waved his hand and twenty spirit crystals were thrown out. They floated high in the sky, shining with spiritual light. "If you beat those of a higher cultivation level, the reward will be doubled!"
As soon as Qian Liu finished speaking, the fourteen disciples of the Sword Cleansing Pond immediately spread out, each occupying a space above the Fengling River.
At the same time, the water in the Fengling River suddenly surged, and there was a faint sound of water surging.
The Fengling River was about to surge!
