Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 1 Sect Selection of Disciples
Early spring.

The snow continued to fall in Yuling Prefecture, with light snowflakes covering Wushan Mountain, creating a desolate and cold atmosphere.

Today is the day the Southern Star Sword Sect accepts disciples. At dawn, the quiet of the mountain was disturbed by the sound of people talking, and it became lively and bustling.

"Because of the sect's grand event of accepting disciples, the sect leader specially gave us a day off, so we can finally get some rest."

The girl who spoke was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was exceptionally tall and slender, with an oval face and a smile in her eyes.

Several young girls, dressed in flowing robes, reminisced about the past, their voices filled with nostalgia.

"Thinking back to when we first joined the sect, it was also a light snowfall like this. Time really flies!"

“Yuling Prefecture is located in the northern border. It snows in two of the four seasons. It’s only early spring now, so it’s perfectly normal for it to snow. The environment when we first joined the sect was even worse.”

A young girl chimed in: "It was raining at the time, and the mountain path was slippery and extremely difficult to climb. I almost fell down."

Even now, the girl still feels very lucky that day. There happened to be a green vine by her side. She grabbed the vine, her hands were rubbed raw and bleeding, but she didn't let go. Finally, she climbed to the top of the mountain within the allotted time.

What seemed extremely difficult to them back then, they can now laugh about with ease.

Trailing behind, a graceful young girl in white suddenly spoke up: "Since we have nothing better to do, why don't we go and see what's going on?"

“This morning, quite a few people have already come to watch the excitement, and the sect leader hasn’t said anything.” She smiled, her eyes crinkling. “Besides, when we first became disciples, quite a few senior brothers and sisters came to watch the excitement too.”

Several girls chuckled softly in unison. Suddenly, a light, airy voice broke the harmonious atmosphere. The round-faced girl pointed to a girl in the distance:
"Is that Ning Fusang?"

The girl in white narrowed her eyes, then smiled and said, "Xiaozhi, your eyesight is getting better and better. You can recognize Ning Fusang from this far away."

"We do have a bond from joining the sect at the same time, so let's invite her along."

Xiang Xiaozhi was simple-minded and didn't think much of it. She immediately turned her spiritual power and landed lightly in front of Ning Fusang like a swallow.

"Fusang, today is the day our sect is accepting disciples. Why don't you come with us and join the fun?"

The girl named Ning Fusang had slightly upturned eyes, like twinkling stars reflecting the cold autumn water. She smiled suddenly, her beauty extraordinary, breaking her aloof and cold demeanor.

Xiang Xiaozhi's heart skipped a beat, thinking that her persuasion had succeeded, and joy showed in her eyes.

She heard Ning Fusang say, "I won't go to the lively event, you guys go ahead."

As she spoke, Ning Fusang walked past her and, realizing what was happening, pressed Xiaozhi relentlessly, "Why don't you go? The sect leader gave us a day off, and the elders aren't giving any lessons today. Even if you wanted to audit, there's nowhere for you to go, isn't there?"

"Anyway, nothing's wrong—"

Ning Fusang stopped and stared intently at Xiang Xiaozhi's face, making her feel guilty and want to back out. At this moment, Ning Fusang spoke up: "I still have many swords to wash."

She spoke calmly, simply stating a fact.

"Oh." Xiang Xiaozhi didn't know what to say, so she just gave a blank reply and prepared to go back and explain the reason to He Jiaxiu.

But the girl in white and her group had already arrived. He Jiaxiu gently pressed Ning Fusang's shoulder, her smile gentle, but her tone carried a hint of firmness:
"Fusang, there are so many swords to be washed in the Sword Washing Pool every day, so it's fine to wash them tomorrow. Such a grand event as the sect's recruitment of disciples is rare, and it would be a real pity to miss it. Let me take you on my sword."

The Southern Star Sword Sect originally accepted disciples once every five years, but the sect was so eager for talent that the sect leader moved the time for accepting disciples forward by two years, changing it to once every three years.

Ning Fusang, He Jiaxiu, Xiang Xiaozhi, and others were among the group who joined the sect three years ago. Three years have passed in a flash, and it's time for the sect to accept new disciples again.

Without a word, He Jiaxiu pressed Ning Fusang onto her sword. The cold, sharp wind and snow felt like knives scraping across Ning Fusang's face.

Her face went numb, and she muttered under her breath, "Shameless."

He Jiaxiu smiled calmly and asked gently, "What did you just say?" Ning Fusang remained silent with a cold expression.

He Jiaxiu didn't care, but her sword speed was a little too fast. The wind and snow were like knives, cutting flesh with each blow. Ning Fusang's ears were sore and hot.

The girl riding the sword behind gradually fell behind He Jiaxiu's speed, and at the same time, she felt some worry and unease.

"Jiaxiu's sword-riding speed is too dangerous."

"Yes, what if something happens?"

“It doesn’t matter that Jiaxiu has profound cultivation, but Ning Fusang is only at the first level and can’t even control a sword. If she falls, she will probably be smashed to pieces.”

"What are you afraid of? Jiaxiu's sword control is the best among us, nothing will happen. As for you, concentrate on your sword control and don't get distracted."

“Even so, I’m still a little worried. After all, riding a sword to carry someone is no small matter.” A girl in pink frowned and looked at another girl with an oval face. “Qianyun, apart from Jiaxiu, your sword riding skills are the best. Why don’t you go after Jiaxiu and persuade her to be more careful?”

Min Qianyun's flying sword suddenly accelerated, and she transformed into a long rainbow, disappearing into the horizon.

The girl in pink breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry between her brows faded considerably.

If anything happens to Ning Fusang, they will all be punished, but Jiaxiu will be punished even more severely. She really shouldn't have acted so impulsively and kidnapped Ning Fusang.

the other side.

At the foot of the mountain, countless people gathered. Among them were farmers in coarse linen clothes, cooks with anxious expressions, richly dressed young ladies, swordsmen with their swords crossed over their chests, and children the size of radishes. People from all walks of life came together.

The Southern Star Sword Sect has a wide age range for accepting disciples; anyone under forty years old is eligible.

"Humans ascend to immortality, so if you wish to enter the gates of immortality, you only need to climb this peak behind me."

When He Jiaxiu brought Ning Fusang to the mountain gate, she happened to hear such a sentence. She looked up and saw that behind the elder in charge of this disciple-acceptance matter, the mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and were extremely dangerous.

"Why was Dudao Peak chosen?"

He Jiaxiu was slightly surprised. "Dudao Dudao" means "walking the only path on the road." As the name suggests, there is only one path to take, and the competition will be extremely fierce.

He Jiaxiu then chuckled softly.

Her features were exquisite, giving her a charming yet confident air. He Jiaxiu gently touched Ning Fusang's arm:
"This time, the sect has opened up Dudao Peak. It's going to be lively. So, do you think it was worth coming?"

“Ning Fusang, you should thank me.” She turned around, her tone smug. “I treated you to a good show.”

Ning Fusang rolled her eyes at her, her eyes curving slightly downwards, revealing a glimpse of a light green silk skirt.

Min Xianyun has arrived.

Sheathed her sword, greeted He Jiaxiu, and then stood to Ning Fusang's right.

He Jiaxiu asked her, "Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?"

Realm division: from the first to the ninth realm.

Following that are: the Realm of Knowledge, the Realm of Spirit, the Realm of Understanding, the Realm of Clarity, the Realm of Transformation, and the Realm of Divinity.

It's easier to remember "knowing the spirit," "understanding the truth," and "transforming into the divine" together.
