Wei Hongye, in the True Immortal Eighth Layer, is against the Ancestor Dragon in the True Immortal Ninth Layer, and the outcome is uncertain.
Yue Xi then thought of Li Hao, the guy who joined the sect with her. Has he still not come out?
Her face changed slightly, gazing at Emperor Sword Mountain, her fingers clenched even tighter.
After a moment, two figures swiftly came out; it was Wei Hongye and Murong Qingwu.
The two almost came out together, seeing the three waiting here. Lu Wuchen and Ji Qingxuan were not around, which was expected, but they noticed one person was still missing.
"Hmm?"
The two were somewhat surprised.
Xu Jianming, seeing them return, showed regret and said, "Senior Sister, didnât you pass?"
"That Ancestor Dragon is indeed powerful. Initially, Xiao Wu and I planned to join forces, but the Elder Zhou Qingyun guarding said we have to challenge one by one, so we were both defeated."
Wei Hongye sighed.
Xu Jianming looked at Murong Qingwu, marveling, "Fifth Junior Sister indeed is the descended Sword Star, joined later than me, yet now is ahead of me."
"Who told you not to try hard."
Murong Qingwu smiled with pursed lips, then inquired about the situation of Yue Xi and Gu Yan.
Gu Yan didnât expect this lively-looking girl could reach the Seventh Layer, his expression slightly changed, recalling the previous sparring challenge, his eyes sharpened somewhat, he walked aside, sat cross-legged, and focused on comprehending the previous Spirit Light of Sword Dao.
"Thereâs one still not here... is it Lao Qi? Has he not come out yet?"
Wei Hongye asked in surprise.
Xu Jianming also looked puzzled and said, "He wouldnât have run into trouble inside, would he?"
"Didnât see him at the Seventh Layer, he must be below; maybe heâs in trouble."
Murong Qingwu didnât think much, she wasnât particularly impressed by Lao Qi, but had a deep impression of the Calamity Clan and that natural Sword Immortal body.
"Maybe."
Wei Hongye nodded and didnât think more, saying, "Donât idle around, just two years, letâs all put in more effort."
They stopped conversing much and each went on to cultivate.
At this time, Emperor Sword Mountain gradually returned to tranquility.
Although there were still disciples challenging each layer, the numbers were dwindling, and many disciples had already found their limits.
To reach the peak, there is no shortcut; even if they group and try to make it through together ahead, they still have to line up for individual challenges later.
On the mountain top, nine figures stood here.
"Master Brother."
Lu Wuchen climbed to the top, saw Ji Qingxuan, who was already drinking tea in front of the cottage, and went over to greet him.
Ji Qingxuan nodded slightly. At this time, the Abyss Master Yun Wumian was already quietly sitting at another cliff edge of the cottage; no one dared to disturb him recklessly, and they all gathered by the tea table in front of the cottage.
"Not bad, was it quite easy?"
Ji Qingxuan patted Lu Wuchenâs shoulder, chuckling.
Lu Wuchen, usually a man of few words, rarely showed a slightly embarrassed smile at this moment and said, "That Ancestor Dragon is somewhat tricky, its dragon body was too overbearing, my sword could barely break through."
"The Ancestor Dragon Clan is naturally born with the Ancestor Dragon body; such overbearing is normal, itâs second only to the ten Immortal bodies."
Ji Qingxuan nodded, glancing at Emperor Sword Mountain, "That natural Sword Immortal body little junior brother also made it to the Fourth Layer, his performance is quite good, I hope he pushes on, if he seizes the opportunity to obtain the Emperor Sword quota, it can greatly shorten our gap."
Lu Wuchen was slightly startled, his gaze swept outside the mountain, and upon seeing the black-clothed boy meditating on the hill, there was a trace of wistfulness in his eyes.
He actually felt the pressure of being constantly pushed.
Looking back at this Master Brother, he couldnât see a trace of jealousy on his face, which made Lu Wuchen feel even more respectful, and he said:
"Master Brother, howâs the situation at the border conflict?"
Ji Qingxuan shook his head slightly, his brows showed a bit of solemnity, "The Ancient Demon Clan is fierce. Over the years, all the sects have been researching cultivation techniques, mostly inclined towards Primordial Spirit types, which can resist them a bit, but we are still at a disadvantage when fighting at the same realm."
Lu Wuchen was silent, "When I reach the Immortal Lord Realm, I also want to try my hand."
Ji Qingxuan glanced at him, smiled, "Donât rush, for now, Iâll take these tasks. Our Human Race doesnât lack soldiers, but a truly top-notch strong one capable of leading the Human Race to rise."
Saying this, he looked towards Emperor Sword Mountain, "Perhaps, the hope lies among them."
Lu Wuchen was slightly startled, and suddenly felt this Master Brotherâs presence becoming immensely grand, he nodded silently, no longer speaking.
Time quietly flowed.
Days passed.
Xu Jianming, awakening from his cultivationâs comprehension, looked around but still didnât see Li Haoâs shadow, couldnât help but feel a twinge in his heart, then took out the sword token.
The sword tokens of fellow disciples can sense each other.
He used the sword token to search for Li Haoâs sword token.
Li Hao had previously given his sword token to Xiyan, for her to freely enter and exit places, but once she got acquainted everywhere, she had already returned the sword token to Li Hao.
At this moment, the place where the sword token sensed, was right in front of Emperor Sword Mountain, but what puzzled Xu Jianming was, the sword token only stayed at the First Layer of Emperor Sword Mountain.
Xu Jianming was somewhat stunned, this long time had passed, yet that little junior brother was still at the First Layer?
Half a month passed.
Yue Xi awoke from her comprehension, once again challenging Emperor Sword Mountain.
The other disciples also came to challenge gradually, after first entering and probing their limits, many disciples regarded Emperor Sword Mountain as their trial ground, using it to hone their sword skills.
After all, with elders timely assisting when encountering danger, such a training treasure land is very rare.
Moreover, Emperor Sword Mountain is rich in immortal power, making it also an excellent place for cultivation.
