From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 143 The First Sword Cultivator of Qingxiao Sect

Pei Zhangzhi turned around and asked in surprise, "You've only been a disciple for a few months?"

The person who spoke to them was Bai Ning'er, who possessed the destiny of a "lucky one". Half a month ago, he applied to be transferred away from the spirit mine, and it was only yesterday that his application was approved.

Despite his mediocre talent, he had already reached the fourth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm while staying in the spirit mine. Such cultivation was considered top-notch within the Qingxiao Sect, so he wanted to participate in the Fighting Tournament to prove himself.

He didn't know why the sect leader valued him, but he wanted to show the sect leader his talent.

Seeing that Zhao Qi, Pei Zhangzhi, and others were not simple people, and that they had their eyes on Xiao Wudi, he pointed out Xiao Wudi's identity.

Li Qingqiu had taken the three Xiao brothers to the spirit mine before, which left a deep impression on Bai Ning'er. He was extremely envious of the three Xiao brothers and wanted to follow the sect leader like them.

In response to Pei Zhangzhi's question, Bai Ning'er smiled proudly and said, "That's right, isn't it amazing? After all, not just anyone can be favored by the sect leader. Our sect leader values ​​them highly and takes them with him wherever he goes."

After saying that, Bai Ning'er continued walking up the mountain.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qi immediately dared not pursue Xiao Wudi any further. However, he became interested in Bai Ning'er and quickly followed after her.

"Young man, what is your name, and who is your master?" Zhao Qi came to Bai Ning'er's side and asked with a smile, his expression gentle and without any of the majesty of a prince.

Bai Ning'er glanced at him and said, "My name is Bai Ning'er, and I don't have a master yet."

Are you going up the mountain?

"Okay, go sign up for the magic duel tournament."

"Could you tell me about the martial arts tournament of your Qingxiao Sect? I have a good relationship with your Hall Master Li Sifeng, and I have come up the mountain to visit your Hall Master Zhang Yuchun."

"You're so capable, do you really need me to explain it to you? When you meet Master Zhang, he will introduce you to him."

“I was discussing important matters with Master Zhang. He is extremely busy, and if I asked him about these things, wouldn’t that be a waste of his time?”

"Too."

Bai Ning'er thought that the martial arts tournament was not a secret, and the news had already spread, so he didn't need to hide it.

After thinking it over, Bai Ning'er began to introduce the martial arts competition to Zhao Qi.

Pei Zhangzhi was filled with curiosity about Bai Ning'er, and his intuition told him that this disciple was no ordinary person.

Having reached the fourth level of the Nourishing Essence Realm, Bai Ning'er's temperament had already undergone a transformation, making Pei Zhangzhi and his entourage feel that she was unfathomable.

Throughout March, Qingxiao Sect was in a lively atmosphere. Even before the martial arts tournament began, some busybodies started predicting who the top three in Qingxiao Sect's first martial arts tournament would be.

Xu Ning decisively secured first place.

She had already stepped down from her position as hall master, and being a disciple of the sect leader, she was very young. No one dared to say anything when she participated in the martial arts competition; in fact, they were looking forward to her performance, after all, she was a leading figure among the younger generation.

Xue Jin, Li Yang, Lu Qing, Huang Shan, Zheng Yunqiao, Zhao Zhen, and others are all strong contenders for second place.

Although Zhao Zhen's talent is recognized as the strongest, he is only ten years old, making it hard to believe that he could win second place.

Besides those established disciples, many others are eager to make their mark and shine.

The Qingxiao Sect currently has twenty-five disciples at the fourth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm. Most of them are not well-known, and they naturally aspire to be as famous as Xue Jin and Lu Qing within the sect.

After noon.

Ji Ya's five friends entered the Sword Sect compound, and Yang Lin was questioned by her four companions.

"You really signed up for the martial arts tournament? What's the point? You're only at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, you'll never stand out."

"It's not necessarily about achieving a high ranking. If you can demonstrate your abilities in front of those hall masters and elders, you might be accepted as their disciple."

"Now that you mention it, I'm tempted to go too."

"Among our Sword Sect, only Senior Brother Han Lang should be able to make it into the top 64 in June, right?"

They weren't the only ones talking about the martial arts tournament; other Sword Sect disciples who had arrived at the training ground early were also discussing it.

Han Lang, the most outstanding disciple of the Sword Sect, was standing alone, holding a wooden sword in his hand, seemingly lost in thought. At first glance, he looked exactly like Shen Yue, who was meditating on the sword on the roof.

Since the establishment of the martial arts competition, not only the disciples want to compete for glory, but also the various halls are preparing to go, hoping that disciples from some halls will achieve good results and bring honor to their halls.

Although Shen Yue was busy comprehending the sword, the disciples of the Sword Sect also wanted the Sword Sect to achieve good results, so the pressure naturally fell on Han Lang, the strongest among them.

If Han Lang can't even get into the top 64, then the Sword Sect will be too disgraced.

Of course, in Han Lang's view, only by breaking into the top ten can he truly bring glory to the Sword Sect.

Once all the disciples had gathered, Han Lang came to his senses. He turned to his junior brothers and sisters, preparing to invite them to practice swordsmanship together.

at this time.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

A loud laugh came from behind. Han Lang turned around and saw Shen Yue standing on the roof, laughing loudly.

The other Sword Sect disciples also looked over, and they were surprised to find a wooden sword floating in front of Shen Yue, a scene that looked exactly like the sect leader and his Rainbow Sword.

Is it...

"I'm done!"

Shen Yue burst into laughter. After saying that, he leaped up and flew towards Lingxiao Academy on the mountaintop, disappearing quickly into the layers of trees.

The disciples of the Sword Sect immediately became excited. They all knew why Shen Yue had comprehended the sword and could guess what he would do after successfully comprehending it.

Elder Shen must have gone to find the sect leader!
Han Lang gazed in the direction Shen Yue had left, his heart surging with emotion. Even Elder Shen was working hard to cultivate, how could he slack off?
As long as he practices swordsmanship diligently, his sword will eventually give him the results he desires.

He turned to look at the Sword Sect disciples and began urging them to form ranks and practice their swordsmanship.

They were practicing a sword formation created by Jiang Zhaoxia. This formation was used to defend against external enemies, and they had to master it. ...

Ziyang Peak is a mountain located east of Qingxiao Mountain. It is even higher than Qingxiao Mountain and stands like a sharp sword among the mountains.

This is also the second mountain peak that Qingxiaomen plans to build.

The lower half of Ziyang Peak is a majestic mountain connected to the mountain range, with an open terrain, while the upper half is a precipitous peak, shrouded in fog all year round.

On a cliff, Li Qingqiu was meditating and practicing magic. Yuan Li, Zhao Zhen, and Ji Ya sat side by side behind him, with a small sword shadow condensing in their palms.

Li Qingqiu, who possesses the destiny of being a "born sword fanatic," can also create sword techniques. This technique is called "Soul-Stealing Flying Sword," which Li Qingqiu created by combining the Supreme Sword Control Technique, the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle, and the Soul-Binding Curse.

The Soul-Stealing Flying Sword possesses the sharp sword energy of the Supreme Sword Control Technique, the penetrating power of the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle, and the soul-fixing effect of the Soul-Binding Curse.

If you are hit by the Soul-Stealing Flying Sword, your physical body will be damaged, and your soul will be impaled and separated from your body.

The "Born Sword Maniac" attribute gives Li Qingqiu a unique understanding of swordsmanship, while his understanding of the way of the soul stems from his "Human Beings and Gods" destiny.

When Li Qingqiu first unleashed the Soul-Snatching Flying Sword, it terrified Chu Jing, Nangong E, and Lin Chuan. They could feel that the Soul-Snatching Flying Sword was very restraining.

At the same time, Chu Jing realized that the magic Li Qingqiu possessed was likely self-created, which made him even more awe of Li Qingqiu, and he guessed that Li Qingqiu was not a dream message from an immortal, but an immortal reincarnation.

Just as Li Qingqiu was focused on instructing his apprentice, a prompt suddenly appeared before his eyes:
[Given that this is the first time a disciple of Qingxiao Sect has embarked on the path of swordsmanship and become a sword cultivator, adding more possibilities to the development of the sect, you have been granted a fortunate opportunity.]

Li Qingqiu was stunned.

Sword cultivator?

This reminded him of the ghost cultivator's prompt that Chu Jing had triggered before.

It turns out that simply learning sword-related spells doesn't make one a sword cultivator.

Li Qingqiu wondered which disciple had done it, but he suspected it was Jiang Zhaoxia.

His mood brightened, for good fortune represented resources for spiritual practice, something that disciples could not create themselves.

After today's instruction concludes, he will then begin the cycle of blessings.

Li Qingqiu began to look forward to good fortune. He hoped it would be another place full of spiritual energy so that he could cultivate more true disciples.

No matter how far apart they were, he was not afraid, because the Qingxiao Sect had become powerful, and sending five disciples at the fourth level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm was enough to guard the area.

As long as they don't encounter cultivators, no one in the Great Li Dynasty can cause trouble for the Qingxiao Sect.

After a while, a whooshing sound came from the air, startling Yuan Li, Zhao Zhen, and Ji Ya, who turned their heads to look.

Shen Yue flew over on a wooden sword and quickly landed behind the four of them.

After he landed, the wooden sword hovered behind him, which made Yuan Li and the other two stare wide-eyed.

Li Qingqiu was surprised, not expecting that it was Shen Yue, not Jiang Zhaoxia, who became a sword cultivator.

"Sect Master, my swordsmanship has reached the Dao. What do you think?" Shen Yue stared at Li Qingqiu and said, his tone full of pride.

Li Qingqiu looked at the wooden sword and discovered that there was a soul inside it.

Unlike Chu Jing, this soul is not a human soul. Its appearance is similar to Shen Yue's, and its aura is exactly the same.

Shen Yue actually created a sword spirit?

How can it be!

Even Li Qingqiu, who possesses the destiny of being a "born sword fanatic," cannot understand how he did it.

Li Qingqiu exclaimed in amazement, "What exquisite creation! You can be considered a true sword cultivator."

"Sword Cultivator? That's a good name, I like it," Shen Yue said, raising an eyebrow.

Zhao Zhen and Ji Ya were both surprised when they saw the wooden sword behind Shen Yue. Their cultivation was higher than Yuan Li's, so they felt it more deeply.

Shen Yue continued, "Sect Master, am I now qualified to challenge you again?"

Li Qingqiu turned to the side, looked at Shen Yue, and smiled, "Your achievements in sword cultivation are worthy of being commemorated with a monument, as long as you are willing to teach your disciples the method of entering the Dao and refining the soul."

“Of course I am willing. My current understanding comes from everything you and Qingxiao Sect have done, and I am willing to give it up.”

Shen Yue answered without hesitation, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Whether it was Li Qingqiu's imagination or not, he always felt that Shen Yue was just like Zhao Zhen, and loved to pretend.

Seemingly sensing the doubt in Li Qingqiu's gaze, Shen Yue straightened his expression and asked seriously, "Sect Leader, you have not yet answered me. May I challenge you again?"

The voice just fell.

call out--

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out, followed by Shen Yue's white hair and beard being pulled back. His pupils dilated, and a silver sword shadow hovered in front of him, its terrifying pressure enveloping him and rendering him unable to move.

This scene is exactly like that time and that moment.

This time, he was also caught off guard by Li Qingqiu's sword.

Looking at the Soul-Snatching Flying Sword before him, Shen Yue could feel the terrifying killing intent contained within its shadow, which terrified him.

“You’ve become stronger, but it’s not enough,” Li Qingqiu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Li and the other two looked at Li Qingqiu with admiration.
