Chapter 1042: Chapter 368: Questioning Sword at the Heavenly Sword Sect!_3

“Not to be underestimated, the Heavenly Sword Sect indeed stands out.”

Lu Qingshan beheld the sight before him, disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect dressed in white sword robes, and couldn’t help but voice his admiration.

The Heavenly Sword Sect was unlike other sects.

All disciples were sword cultivators, practicing sword techniques.

It was fine when in groups of three or five or even more than ten.

But now, with hundreds of sword cultivators gathered, each with a sharp and pointed aura, the feeling was different.

“Brother, you can do it!”

Lu Qingzhu cheered for her own brother.

Although in the eyes of Tianyuan True Immortal, Lu Qingshan was extremely proud and looked down on others,

In Lu Qingzhu’s eyes, her own brother was the best in the world!

Even when she heard others say her brother was arrogant, she felt it was only natural for her brother to be so impressive. His progress in cultivation was lightning-fast, and he could master any sword technique or spell after a single practice – wasn’t a bit of arrogance to be expected?

“Ha ha ha, watch your brother’s performance.”

Lu Qingshan habitually ruffled his sister’s hair and grinned.

“Qingshan, remember the words your master told you.”

Tianyuan True Immortal instructed his disciple.

“Master, rest assured!”

Lu Qingshan knew his master was telling him not to kill with a single sword stroke right away, to give others some face.

He stood on the Sword Inquiry Platform, tall and noble, and bowed to the crowd below, “Jinyang Sect’s Lu Qingshan has come to inquire about swordsmanship at the Heavenly Sword Sect today, seeking guidance from all the daoists here.”

When he finished speaking, a golden magical sword appeared in his hand, his whole body enveloped in a soaring sword intent, as if he could tear the sky asunder, shifting the sun and the moon, an unstoppable force.

“Shh, what astonishing sword intent!”

“What kind of sword intent is this?”

“Jinyang Sect’s Lu Qingshan, I’ve heard of this man, he won first place in the sword trial of the Five Great Immortal Sects of Yue Country six years ago!”

“It’s him, the sword cultivator from the Purple Shadow Secret Realm!”

“Didn’t expect this person to actually come to our Heavenly Sword Sect to inquire about swordsmanship.”

The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect looked at Lu Qingshan on the Sword Inquiry Platform and immediately stirred up discussions.

“This young man has such an impressive sword intent!”

“To have nurtured such sword intent at a young age, his talent in the Sword Dao is truly extraordinary.”

Several true immortals from the Heavenly Sword Sect came to watch the duel, looking at Lu Qingshan on the platform and commenting.

They all understood why Yujian Zhenren had invited Lu Qingshan to come and inquire about swordsmanship.

“Wu Jiu, please enlighten Daoist Lu.”

Instantly, a figure about thirty years old leaped onto the platform and said coldly to Lu Qingshan.

“Didn’t expect Senior Brother Wu to take the stage so soon.”

“This Lu Qingshan managed to win first place in the grand competition of the Five Sects of Yue Country, quite extraordinary.”

“Indeed, if one didn’t have real ability and went up, it would only result in humiliation.”

Immediately, disciples spoke up, indicating that this Wu Jiu was quite formidable.

“Please.”

Lu Qingshan, dressed in the Jinyang Sect disciple’s attire, tall and straight, made a welcoming gesture.

Wu Jiu did not stand on ceremony and sacrificed a Sword Bead against Lu Qingshan.

This sword inquiry appeared informal, but with several Nascent Soul Immortals observing, there was no concern for unexpected events during the process.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

Facing the incoming Sword Bead, Lu Qingshan was calm and composed, his magical sword slashing out beams of sword light.

Sword light clashed with Sword Bead, sparks flying.

“Such a sharp sword qi!”

Wu Jiu felt his own Life-bound Sword Pellet tremble faintly after just exchanging blows and was shocked.

He didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately made a gesture incantation, attacking with all his might.

But Lu Qingshan still stood unshaken, waving his magical sword and casually neutralizing his opponent’s attack.

Moments later, Lu Qingshan unleashed a streak of sword light that slashed out like a meteor colliding with the sun, causing the Sword Bead to fly backward. Wu Jiu’s face instantly turned pale, and he staggered.

“Hisss, so strong!”

“Junior Brother Wu Jiu had just given his all, yet he failed to even shake him in the slightest.”

The disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect below were astonished.

“My gratitude.”

Lu Qingshan looked at Wu Jiu and slightly bowed with his hands clasped.

“I’ve lost.”

Wu Jiu took a deep breath, recognizing that his power was not on the same level as his opponent’s.

As he stepped down from the platform, a slender young man approached the Sword Inquiry Platform.

“Luo Yijian, please advise!”

“It’s Junior Brother Luo. Although he’s only at the Third Level of Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense is incredibly strong. The Myriad Sword Art he cultivated can manipulate thirty-six Flying Swords!”

“I heard that Senior Brother Luo once used those thirty-six Flying Swords to kill a Demon Cultivator at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment!”

Upon hearing these discussions, Lu Qingshan’s eyebrows rose slightly, his expression calm, as he made a welcoming gesture.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Luo Yijian didn’t stand on ceremony, slapping his Storage Bag, a row of three-inch Flying Swords poured out, exploding with seven-colored sword lights—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—hurtling towards Lu Qingshan.

Although most of the Flying Swords were only Magic Artifacts, their might was nevertheless astonishing.

“Nicely done.”

As Lu Qingshan watched this scene, the Magical Sword in his hand swung, creating layers of Sword Qi swirling all around him like a vortex-shaped shield, enveloping his body and constantly flowing, causing the sharp Sword Qi to undulate against each other.

“Clang clang clang

One after another, the Flying Swords struck at Lu Qingshan, clashing against his Sword Qi shield, creating a series of crisp sounds and sparks flying in all directions.

Then, threads of Sword Qi around Lu Qingshan, like small serpents, entwined and attacked the Flying Swords, causing constant metallic clangs, which gradually dimmed the Flying Swords in the process.

“I’ve lost.”

Luo Yijian, seeing this, knew that if his opponent had not been lenient, his Flying Swords would have likely been cut in two.

“What about Senior Brother Luo’s Sword Array, why didn’t I see him use it?”

“With this Lu Qingshan’s ability to manifest Sword Qi, under his Sword Qi, Junior Brother Luo’s Sword Array simply can’t take form.”

“Sword Energy Formation, wasn’t he just at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment?”

“Very well, Sword Energy Formation, interesting. I shall meet you!”

The Heavenly Sword Sect disciples in the arena were abuzz with discussion, and instantly another challenger took the stage.

“Hisss, it’s Senior Brother Zhao!”

“This should be stable now!”

“However, Lu Qingshan is only at the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment. Senior Brother Zhao has long broken through to the Middle Stage;

even if he wins, it wouldn’t be a respectful victory.”

“Since it’s a sword inquiry, Senior Brother Zhao will naturally suppress his mana to the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment.”

Watching the middle-aged man who stepped onto the platform, more voices rose from below.

This middle-aged man, unlike the previous two, wielded a Magical Sword with wide and forceful swings, aggressive and domineering.

But after a few evenly matched exchanges at the start, Lu Qingshan’s offense grew increasingly fierce, making it difficult for Senior Brother Zhao to fend off, forcing him to use his Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment power and admit defeat.

For a moment, the disciples of Heavenly Sword Sect also began to sense something amiss.

They realized that Lu Qingshan was intentionally engaging each person for a few exchanges before really making a move to defeat them.

Otherwise, with the capability to defeat Senior Brother Zhao like that, the earlier Wu Jiu and Luo Yijian probably couldn’t have withstood a few of Lu Qingshan’s strikes.

Faced with this situation, some were astonished at Lu Qingshan’s strength, while others felt slighted, as if they were looked down upon.

“It seems I have underestimated this young man.”

Yujian Zhenren watched Lu Qingshan on the Sword Inquiry Platform and suddenly understood why Tianyuan True Immortal had told his Heavenly Sword Sect not to hold back.

Because with Lu Qingshan’s level of ability, their ordinary disciples were truly not his match.

Immediately, he transmitted a message to a disciple, “Han Jing, suppress your cultivation level to the Initial Stage of Foundation Establishment and try with Lu Qingshan.”

He continued to transmit messages, ordering people to summon several Nascent Soul Seed disciples from the sect.
