Chapter 1157 - 579: True Swan_3

Tang Xian’er glanced at him,

"You even have the qualification to go to the Cloud Platform, truly a Mystic Sect person. But learning the sword is fine, if you intend to worship Xuantian Sword Ancestor as your master, I advise you to spare the thought."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Tang Xian’er said,

"I’m not bluffing you, I’ve actually visited Nine Yin Mountain as well. The Sword Sect’s Nine Luminaries Divine Sword is truly a true inheritance. For someone like me who is somewhat versed in Qi Gong, earnestly pondering the secret refinement of sword energy can be greatly beneficial, leading to significant power advancement, warranting a ceremony of gratitude to the Sword Ancestor for imparting the Dao.

But seeking the true inheritance of the Sword Sect is as difficult as climbing the heavens. Do you know the conditions for worshiping as a disciple of Beichen Sword Sect? It requires achieving first place in Cloud Platform Sword Fighting, breaking through the Nine Peaks Sword Formation, and traversing the Sword Pavilion! Only then can one be considered entry-level!

Therefore, those seeking to climb and peak, to enter the sect’s tutelage, often start by cultivating at Hidden Sword Manor at the foot of Nine Yin Mountain. The manor organizes an annual sword fighting trial, wherein the top seven in the sword battle can register as outer mountain disciples, and the first place has the qualification to enter the formation and pay respects. And this is just the first hurdle!

That Nine Peaks Sword Formation was personally arranged by the Sword Ancestor, fraught with lethal trials, extremely perilous, capable of disemboweling and destroying the Dao Foundation. Even their sect’s True Man struggles to break the formation, how can outsiders hope to pass?

If one truly possesses the ability to break through the Nine Peaks, they are already among the world’s top experts. Moreover, the Sword Scripture of the Nine Luminaries Divine Sword is a Divine Skill capable of reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm. Since true skills have been learned, what’s the need to enter the sect?

Therefore, throughout the years, too many have died in trials, there are indeed many outer mountain disciples, yet no one has been heard of being able to worship the Sword Ancestor. Consequently, nowadays fewer people seek the Dao at Nine Yin Mountain; most go for tourism and sightseeing."

"If you want to enter the mountain, it is better to choose another good mentor."

Chen Xuantian laughed,

"Doesn’t seem too difficult."

After all, the Kaiyang Sword Formation he learned in one go, he also finished the sword challenge at Cloud Platform, what’s there to worry about. Apart from the fact that at the Golden Core Stage the energy is still inadequate and unstable, but upon reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, the Nine Peaks can be easily traversed, no need to be overly modest.

Tang Xian’er snorted coldly,

"Humph, it’s good for young people to have ambition, but don’t be overly impulsive.

Life is rare, is it for the so-called Great Dao that one can recklessly risk their life?

Is there truly no one waiting for your return?"

Chen Xuantian shook his head, looking at the continuous green mountains, feeling wistful,

"That’s not what I meant, I don’t want to die, but being born human, just living isn’t enough, there must be pursuits.

Seeing a high mountain, don’t you want to climb to the top to see the breathtaking view of the Nine Peaks Peak?

Seeing a mountain beyond the mountain, don’t you want to go further to see what’s beyond, what kind of world lies there?

A stranded dragon in shallow water, what’s the difference from a salted fish? Mutual aid is better than forgotten in the Jianghu.

I want to go to the Peak of Jiuxiao to witness the vastness of the world, never to be trapped in this fish pond."

Tang Xian’er was taken aback,

"He used to say the same, and you claim he never taught you!"

"Uh, ah, is it time? Thanks for guiding me! I’m off!"

Chen Xuantian exclaimed in surprise, pointed to a cave in the mountain stream, pinched a tunneling skill, and tunneled underground!

Little did he know that Tang Xian’er, anticipating his Earth Escape escape, would tear away his face-covering leather jacket, open his cherry lips, and spray a beam of golden light, pinch the formula pointing, and the glitter enveloped, spinning and engulfing Tang Xian’er in the golden light, overtaking and blocking Chen Xuantian ahead underground!

"Don’t run! The mountain bottom is the Immortal Demon Battlefield, full of traps! Follow me, don’t stray off path!"

"Huh? Your sword escape is faster than my Earth Escape..."

Chen Xuantian was startled, greatly surprised,

"Wait! Where did you get the flying sword?"

Tang Xian’er was puzzled as well,

"What’s unlikely? I told you, I also sought the Dao at Nine Yin Mountain, learned the Sword Control Skill. By calculation, I’m also an outer mountain disciple of the Sword Sect, as for the flying sword, of course it’s issued by the Sword Sect."

Chen Xuantian focused intently, noticing in Tang Xian’er’s spider silk gloves wrapped fingertips, held a marble-like, golden-glowing, pearl-sized, inch-diameter round ball. Its texture was like gold and resembling iron, flawless and shimmering with a faint aura of essence.

Illuminating Tang Xian’er’s eyes to radiance, making Chen Xuantian’s eyes bulge.

This, this thing is!

"This sword is called Long Jian, crafted by the Sword Ancestor, the first trial version of the sword ball. Due to minor flaws, given for trial use to outer mountain disciples at Hidden Sword Manor. As long as one achieves first place in sword fighting, a piece can be distributed.

It’s a pity my natural talent is dull, Sword Control Skill hasn’t been perfected, sword energy hasn’t been nurtured. But you’re right, where there’s a will, there’s a way! With diligent learning and practice, one can eventually break through the formation, ascend the Nine Peaks! See the mountain beyond the mountain! Witness the authentic Sword Dao!"
