Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

With a flick of her wrist, she summoned the Dragon Bone Sword, which was half-refined. The sword was elegant and domineering, with an imposing aura.

"This sword is too domineering. If you want to possess it, you may not be able to preserve yourself. Instead, you may be killed by the sword."

Even if Ning Fusang didn't say anything, the sword spirit could sense it.

Its voice was ancient and weathered: "I am willing to give it a try."

As the sword spirit finished speaking, it flew into the sword. Its condition was terrible, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

The Dragon Bone Sword quickly faded into oblivion.

Did it fail?

Ning Fusang lifted her eyelids, reached out and grasped the sword, and was about to put it away when she suddenly sensed a faint, newly born sword spirit within it.

She slowly raised the corners of her lips.

The sword spirit, stripped of its consciousness, was reborn and is now the sword spirit of the Dragon Bone Sword.

The nascent sword spirit was as innocent as a child. The flying sword circled the girl once before being put into the sword-nurturing gourd.

People gradually walked out of the sword gate.

Wei Xueying felt like she was being scratched by a cat; she was extremely curious about what they had all obtained, but she couldn't bring herself to ask.

"Hou Qing, Yun Liang, take good care of them and send them back," Master Xingyi instructed.

Wei Xueying tugged at his sleeve: "What about me?"

She and her senior brother were the ones who picked up the guests, so why weren't they allowed to see them off?

Master Xingyi glanced at her: "Your father wants to see you."

Wei Xueying thought for a moment. She hadn't caused any trouble recently, so why did her father want to see her?
After watching everyone's figures disappear into the mountain path, Wei Xueying sighed deeply and left the Sword Gate on her sword.

……

After the Five Continents Conference concluded, the various immortal sects set off to return to their respective sects.

The outer sect competition within the Nanxing Sword Sect had already concluded, and the elders were giving lectures while the disciples were cultivating, all proceeding in an orderly manner.

The life lamps of ten personal disciples and thirty inner disciples have been lit, and the new identity jade pendants have also been made. However, the matter of going to the Hidden Sword Pavilion to select a spirit sword has been delayed because Shen Hongxue is not in the sect.

"The snow in Lingzhou has stopped for so long, shouldn't the sect leader and the others be back by now?"

"I wonder what kind of results this Five Continents Conference has achieved."

"It takes at least a month to travel from Zhongzhou to Lingzhou, but judging by the time, it should be soon."

The disciples practicing swordsmanship in the training ground chatted casually during their break.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out, shouting as they ran, "They're back! The Sect Leader and Senior Sister Jinzhen are back!"

"Huh? Senior Sister Jinzhen is back?! I'm going to go to the square to check on her!"

"I am coming too!"

The once tranquil Southern Star Sword Sect has been stirred up into a great upheaval.

The flying spirit boat slowly descended and landed on the white marble plaza. A group of disciples dressed in ethereal robes disembarked from the spirit boat and stretched their bodies.

"Finally home!"

"This journey has been so long. Looking at the familiar mountain gate, it feels like a lifetime ago!"

"Although Zhongzhou is very prosperous, I still prefer our Lingzhou."

Hearing the heartfelt sentiments of the accompanying disciples, Shen Hongxue smiled slightly and said, "Everyone must be tired from this trip to Zhongzhou. Now that we're back at the sect, take a good rest and relax. There's no need to be so tense."

Everyone bowed and said in unison, "Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader!"

Shen Hongxue first returned to Qingxiao Palace on Tianquan Peak to handle various matters that had occurred during his absence from the sect.

The three elders, Qi Wenling, Wu Yushi, and Zhou Yaoqi, who were in charge of the sect's affairs, were already waiting in the Qingxiao Hall.

"No need for formalities, please sit down."

As soon as Shen Hongxue entered the main hall, she waved her hand, indicating that the three of them did not need to get up.

In fact, in terms of seniority, Shen Hongxue was the junior. Qi Wenling nodded slightly, while Wu Yushi spoke first, asking, "In this Five Continents Tournament, is our Beiyu Lingzhou the champion?"

The Southern Star Sword Sect's communication methods were not lacking; the news had already been relayed back, it's just that the ordinary disciples were unaware of it.

However, elders like Wu Yushi and Qi Wenling would certainly be able to receive the news in advance.

He was also somewhat incredulous and wanted to hear the result from Shen Hongxue herself.

Zhou Yaoqi also looked at Shen Hongxue.

Shen Hongxue smiled and said, "The champions who are on par with Nan Chun and Hezhou are all full-court champions."

A smile also appeared in Qi Wenling's cool eyes.

Zhou Yaoqi clapped his hands and laughed: "Great! Great! This time, our Nanxing Sword Sect has truly made a name for itself."

After chatting for a while about the Five States Conference, Qi Wenling began to give his report.

Nothing major happened during this period; the main focus was on the outer sect competition.

After listening to the reports from the three elders, Shen Hongxue said gently, "Thank you all for your hard work during this time."

"Let's set the selection of the spirit sword for three days from now."

Shen Hongxue stood up, saw the elders out of Qingxiao Palace, and then summoned Li Jinzhen.

He sighed and asked, "After returning this time, are you still going to the Three Thousand Snow Mountains to look for that child, Wei Shaoqing?"

Li Jinzhen pursed her lips, and although she did not speak, her expression already revealed her answer.

"Do you know that the snowy region is vast and boundless? With his mortal body, it's impossible for him to survive?"

Li Jinzhen knew this outcome, and her master's wife had been trying to persuade her, but... could she be at peace with herself? She knew perfectly well that Wei Shaoqing had died because of her.

No one will target a mortal who cannot cultivate, but countless people will target Li Jinzhen's future husband.

She is the senior disciple of the Southern Star Sword Sect, and at this crucial juncture of the Five Continents Tournament, she must return to fight for her sect.

But now that the Five States Conference is over, she should go find that answer.

Seeing that Shen Hongxue seemed to have something else to say, Li Jinzhen asked, "Master, is there something you want to instruct me to do?"

"What if this matter affects your search for Wei Shaoqing?" Shen Hongxue asked her.

Without much thought, Li Jinzhen replied, "My master and mistress treat me like their own daughter. There is a saying in the mortal world that filial piety is the most important of all virtues, so I naturally take my master's words to heart."

"Moreover, the tasks Master assigns to his disciples are bound to be related to the sect. Seeking Brother Shaoqing is a matter of personal feelings, and I will not let personal matters interfere with public duty."

Shen Hongxue remained silent for a long time, then let out a long sigh. He had raised a very qualified successor.

With her hands behind her back, Shen Hongxue looked at the mountains outside Qingxiao Palace and said slowly, "I hope that you will become the acting sect leader of Nanxing Sword Sect from now on."

Li Jinzhen looked puzzled: "Why did Master hand over the Southern Star Sword Sect to his disciple so early?"

Shen Hongxue had no intention of hiding anything from her prized disciple: "My master sent word that they have found an entrance to the Outer Heavens."

A hint of surprise flashed across Li Jinzhen's eyes, but his expression quickly became serious: "This disciple will handle all matters within the sect."

the other side.

After completing the formalities, Ning Fusang returned to Tianxin Peak. She was going into seclusion, and after reporting to the sect, no one would disturb her for the time being.

All courses will be postponed.

The spiritual energy on Tianxin Peak is much richer than when she first moved here.

The thousand-year-old pear tree is as white as piled snow.

The silkworm spirit ran out and scouted various spots on Tianxin Peak. It stood on the stone table, looked up and sighed. It was a pity that the pear blossoms never faded and never bore fruit.

Otherwise, a pear tree with such abundant spiritual energy would surely produce one or two incredibly sweet pears.

Ning Fusang activated the barrier around Tianxin Peak and went into seclusion to cultivate her spiritual power.

She needs to fully restore her depleted spiritual power before she can attempt to break through to the ninth level.
