Chapter 117

Chapter 117: “The Supreme Emperor Sword Sutra: Great Evolution Twenty-Three Swords”—The Depths of the Sect!

Although the panel always showed ‘Sea Cleaving Realm, First Level,’ it certainly cannot be true.

Thus, Meng Changqing was quite curious.

“You’ve been patient, asking me only now,” Yun Bujue laughed heartily, “However, this is a sect secret~ I can’t reveal it yet.

“Anyway, it’s stronger than the Dao Creation Realm.”

“I see.” Meng Changqing nodded slightly.

Stronger than the Dao Creation Realm—that must mean the Divine Attainment Realm, right?

Thinking of this, Meng Changqing’s hands tightened slightly.

The Divine Attainment Realm.

This was a level he never dared to imagine before.

It’s said that in this realm, the focus of cultivation shifts from the Dantian Sea to the Sea of Consciousness, uncovering spiritual secrets and divine abilities—another major qualitative leap!

But this was expected.

As a second-grade sect, it should indeed have such powerful experts!

And the Divine Attainment Realm should be the sect’s top combat force!

To think that such an expert would be in the Hidden Martial Pavilion, acting as a humble custodian elder.

Soon, the Iron Feather Eagle broke through the clouds and arrived at the peak of Spirit Peak.

The scene before him resembled a giant island.

It was much larger than his Spirit Peak.

There were numerous palaces and tall pavilions, with people coming and going, all showing considerable strength.

This was indeed the core of the sect.

“Our Spirit Peak has ten disciples participating this time, including you,” Yun Bujue said.

“So many?” Meng Changqing was slightly surprised.

After all, Tai Xuan Sect had seven branches.

On average, that would be about seven disciples per branch.

“The Sect Master’s Peak is quite special, with only one true disciple. Medicine King Peak, focused on alchemy, isn’t strong in combat, and the Formation Peak lags behind somewhat.

“So the remaining four branches have to contribute more people.

“Martial Arts Peak sent ten, Purple Nourishment Peak twelve, and Punishment Peak eleven.”

Yun Bujue explained.

“I see.” Meng Changqing nodded.

It made sense.

The Iron Feather Eagle landed on an open space.

Someone immediately came to guide it and greeted them respectfully.

“Greetings, Elder Yun.”

Clearly, they were well aware of Yun Bujue’s status.

Their gaze also fell on Meng Changqing, full of curiosity.

After all, Elder Yun was known for his reclusiveness, rarely seen with others, let alone a younger disciple.

“Mm.”

Yun Bujue nodded slightly and walked ahead.

Meng Changqing followed.

A few moments later, they arrived at a grand palace.

Its name was Spirit Hall.

Honestly, the name was quite imposing.

The hall doors were wide open.

A deep voice echoed from within.

It appeared that someone was giving a lecture.

“Inside is the Peak Master. He’s been painstakingly helping disciples understand the way of the sword in preparation for the Three Sect Martial Arts Tournament.

“If you have any questions, you can ask him.

“His comprehension of swordsmanship surpasses mine.”

Yun Bujue said.

“The Peak Master, huh.” Meng Changqing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

A Peak Master was on the same level as the Sect Leader!

According to the Elder, he was even stronger.

“Unknowingly, I’ve reached this place.” Meng Changqing looked at the plaque of Spirit Hall.

This place wasn’t accessible to just anyone.

Many disciples might spend a lifetime climbing from the bottom to reach here.

And he had arrived quite swiftly.

Withdrawing his gaze.

Meng Changqing followed Yun Bujue inside.

Almost as soon as they stepped in, the hall fell silent.

Numerous eyes turned towards them.

The most imposing presence was naturally the one on the hall’s throne.

He appeared slightly younger than Yun Bujue, but still old.

He hardly had any black hair left, nearly all white.

But his eyes were exceptionally clear, not a trace of murkiness.

Just sitting there, he gave off an aura like a towering mountain.

As if a majestic peak stood between heaven and earth, unapproachable and awe-inspiring!

This was the Peak Master of Spirit Peak!

Mo Shukuang!

“Junior Brother Mo, I’ve brought the person,” Yun Bujue spoke casually.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Yun.” Mo Shukuang nodded, looking at Meng Changqing with a slight smile, “I’ve wanted to meet you since you entered the inner sect, but due to some rules, it had to be delayed until now.

“Seeing you today, you’re indeed a talented individual.”

“Peak Master overpraises me.” Meng Changqing quickly bowed.

For a Peak Master to speak so highly was rare.

Some disciples below showed looks of astonishment.

They seldom saw the Peak Master smile.

“It’s not an exaggeration. To grasp sword qi at the Aperture Connecting Realm, apart from the founder of our Tai Xuan Sect, no one else has done it. You deserve this praise.” Mo Shukuang slowly stood up.

Meng Changqing took the opportunity to activate his Observation Eye.

To be a Peak Master, his panel must be extraordinary.

Basic Information:

【Name: Mo Shukuang】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: Divine Attainment Realm, First Level (Temporary)】

Attributes:

【Root Bone: First Grade】

【Comprehension: Excellent】

【Talent: Resolute Heart】

【Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills: “The Supreme Emperor Sword Sutra: Great Evolution Twenty-Three Swords” (Partial Mastery), “Great Five Elements Revolving Sword Technique” (Perfection)…】

Seeing this, Meng Changqing’s pupils contracted slightly.

What shocked him wasn’t the root bone or talent, nor the impressive cultivation techniques and martial skills.

But the cultivation realm section!

Another ‘temporary’!

A Peak Master couldn’t possibly have a fallen cultivation realm.

There were no damaged attributes on the panel.

There was only one explanation.

Like Elder Yun, he had deliberately sealed his cultivation, lowering his realm.

But why?

As a top-tier combat force of the sect, shouldn’t he showcase his strength? After all, the stronger the individual, the stronger the sect.

Why conceal their cultivation?

“Elder Yun is like this, and so is the Peak Master. The other Peak Masters are probably the same.”

Thinking this, Meng Changqing’s hands tightened.

He suddenly felt that the sect had unfathomable depths.

But to be certain, he needed to see the panels of the other Peak Masters and the Sect Leader.

Perhaps it was just these two.

Due to some reasons, they had to seal their cultivation.

“Even with their cultivation sealed, they’re still in the Divine Attainment Realm. Their full strength must be…” Meng Changqing couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
