From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 206 Sudden Enlightenment
After talking with Yuan Li for an hour, Yan Daozong was filled with emotion.

Tianxuan Mountain could never surpass Qingxiao Sect!

After hearing about Yuan Li's past, he admired Li Qingqiu even more.

Zhao Zhen was entrusted to Li Qingqiu by the former crown prince. At that time, Zhao Zhi was causing chaos in the world. He asked himself if Tianxuan Mountain dared to take over. In fact, after the crown prince died, neither Zhao Zhen's mother nor his junior brother Hua Daozang offered to raise Zhao Zhen. They only brought up the matter after Zhao Zhi died.

This is Li Qingqiu's sense of responsibility.

Yuan Li and his brother's parents were killed, and they were imprisoned and made servants by martial arts sects. It was Li Qingqiu who rescued them. At that time, there were not many people in the Qingxiao Sect. Yuan Li's talent shows that the heavens favored the Qingxiao Sect.

Tianxuan Mountain prides itself on being a sacred place, yet it has not descended the mountain to help those in distress for many years.

Yan Daozong had also wanted to leave the mountain, but his master forbade it, saying that he should focus more on martial arts and strengthen Tianxuan Mountain. But if he didn't leave the mountain, neither would the other disciples. It seems that the chivalrous spirit of Tianxuan Mountain has long been lost.

However, there were others who surprised the Yandao Sect.

Afterwards, Li Qingqiu brought Yun Cai to visit him again. Yun Cai was quite unhappy with him, feeling that after he defeated the Qingxiao Sect disciples, he spread the news to the martial arts world, which was an offense to the Qingxiao Sect.

When Yan Daozong learned of this, he frowned. There were no outsiders present when he defeated Li Yang and Yang Dong, which meant that the news must have been spread by someone from Tianxuan Mountain.

My junior brother said he was afraid that Qingxiao Sect would suppress them, but he secretly sent people to spread such news.

Yan Daozong frowned, feeling displeased at being deceived.

Li Qingqiu was secretly delighted, realizing that bringing Yun Cai along was indeed the right thing to do.

He had previously noticed that Yun Cai was somewhat stubborn, disliked telling lies, and found it difficult to keep her emotions to herself.

Before going up the mountain, she and Bo Zhao and the others remained silent, perhaps because they were afraid of hurting each other's feelings by speaking, so they chose to keep quiet.

"I was unaware of this matter. I apologize to you on behalf of Tianxuan Mountain," Yan Daozong said earnestly. As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Li Qingqiu and the other person.

He had just bent down when Li Qingqiu lifted his arm with her hand.

"If you're not as skilled as others, why are you afraid of being talked about? That's unreasonable. Yun Cai, you must not be disrespectful to the Dao Sect. From now on, we're all on the same side, so don't hold grudges."

Yan Daozong looked up and saw Li Qingqiu looking at the clouds and saying this.

Upon hearing this, Yun Cai immediately apologized to the Yandao Sect.

The Yandao Sect was certain that this was not a play orchestrated by Li Qingqiu, because he could sense Yun Cai's sharpness and Yun Cai's sincere respect for Li Qingqiu.

No, it's probably more than just respect.

"Senior Daozong, how about I have a friendly spar with you?" Yun Cai looked at Yan Daozong and said earnestly, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

The Yandao Sect has been challenged more than once. He himself enjoys martial arts competitions, but no one in Tianxuan Mountain dares to challenge him.

So he readily agreed, and the two began to spar in the courtyard.

He controlled his internal energy to the same level as the cloud's primordial energy. Although the two cannot be equated, this was the only way he could seek fairness.

After the exchange of blows, the Yandao Sect gradually realized that something was wrong.

Yun Cai seemed to know him very well, always able to dodge his moves and even predict his attack direction in advance, allowing her to deal with his faster moves at a slower speed.

and many more!

Could this woman also be a genius, one in a million?
Yan Daozong glanced at Li Qingqiu again, and seeing Li Qingqiu's smiling face, he felt malice for the first time, and an uncontrollable shock surged into his heart.

There are far too many unparalleled geniuses in the Qingxiao Sect, aren't there?

……

The news that the sect leader of Tianxuan Mountain had been defeated by the Sword God and had switched allegiance to Qingxiao Sect spread rapidly throughout the martial arts world.

When the Sword God sparred with the Yandao Sect, there were martial artists from other sects present. In addition, the Yandao Sect members had already arrived at the Qingxiao Sect, so the news could not be kept secret at all.

Now, the voices praising the Yandao Sect disappeared, replaced by curses. People felt that the Yandao Sect was unworthy of the name of Tianxuan Mountain.

The outside world's disturbances no longer affect the Yandao Sect.

The Tiangong Hall completed the Wuzong Pavilion and training ground in just one month. News about the Wuzong Sect had already spread, but the response was not great. At least on Qingxiao Mountain, not many disciples were willing to learn martial arts.

The news generated a great deal of discussion among the miscellaneous disciples, registered disciples, and outer disciples.

The Yandao Sect is capable of defeating Li Yang and Yang Dong. Even if its martial arts are not as good as the immortal path, it can still help people reach the level of the first four layers of the Nourishing Yuan Realm, which is very attractive to disciples with low aptitude.

……

After the turmoil caused by Tianxuan Mountain subsided temporarily, Li Qingqiu's life returned to normal.

He didn't go to the Yandao Sect every day; he still devoted most of his time to his own cultivation.

It is worth mentioning that the auspicious five-colored deer caused quite a stir within the Qingxiao Sect. Bai Ning'er released the five-colored deer on Qingxiao Mountain, attracting many disciples to come and observe it.

No one dared to steal the Five-Colored Deer, not only because there were many disciples on Qingxiao Mountain, but also because there were many disciples patrolling at the foot of Qingxiao Mountain.

Since the tree demon's clone attacked Qingxiao Sect, Li Qingqiu has increased the number of patrols.

Even during peaceful times, there are more than 500 disciples taking turns patrolling Qingxiao Mountain and Ziyang Peak. At first, many hall masters felt that the number was too large, but after seeing that most of the patrolling disciples were outer disciples, they had no objections.

Near Qingxiao Mountain, there's no need for too many strong disciples to patrol; all that's needed is someone to relay messages.

Therefore, Li Qingqiu formulated a formation of twenty people per team, with each team led by at least one disciple at the third level of the Nourishing Yuan Realm or higher.

When the Martial Sect was first established, it did not have many disciples. After all, the Qingxiao Sect had not been established for very long, and even those disciples who were interested in the Martial Sect had not yet given up their pursuit of immortality.

For them, the Wuzong Emperor was a way out, but not the path they should take now.

During his free time, Yan Daozong began to wander around Qingxiao Sect. The more he learned about Qingxiao Sect, the more impressed he became, and his loyalty to Li Qingqiu and Qingxiao Sect grew rapidly. On this day, Shen Yue invited Yan Daozong to visit the Sword Sect.

The Yandao Sect had a very good impression of Shen Yue, so they agreed.

Upon arriving at the Sword Sect, many eyes were immediately drawn to him; his appearance and demeanor were simply too captivating.

"Who is that person? He has white hair and is very handsome!"

"I know, he is the sect leader of Tianxuan Mountain, the Yandao Sect!"

"It's him? I heard he's even more powerful than the top ten disciples."

"I heard that Elder Shen's victory over him was not easy."

"Don't talk nonsense. If Elder Shen hears you, he will definitely increase your cultivation tasks."

The disciples of the Sword Sect whispered among themselves, all showing great interest in the Yandao Sect.

Yang Lin and the other four, who were close to Ji Ya, were also curious about how high the martial arts of the Yan Dao Sect were, even from a distance.

Yang Lin whispered to her four companions, "See? There are more and more experts in the sect. Stop bothering Ji Ya and let him cultivate properly, lest he be surpassed by more and more people and displease the sect leader."

One of the male disciples said aggrievedly, "It's not that we want to bother him. Besides, he came to us, so we can't just drive him away, can we?"

"It's because you guys have this or that difficulty and trouble that he can't rest easy," Yang Lin glared at him and said irritably.

at this time.

"Senior of Yandao Sect, I am Jian Du, and I would like to spar with you in swordsmanship. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, hundreds of Sword Sect disciples turned around to look, only to see fifteen-year-old Jian Du striding towards the Yandao Sect.

Jian Du was dressed in a black brocade robe for practicing swordsmanship. His black hair was tied high behind his head, with two long strands of hair fluttering in the wind by his ears. He had a sword at his waist.

He was very handsome, and his cold demeanor made him very popular with female disciples. Many of them tried to win his favor, but he rejected them all without hesitation.

Yan Daozong glanced over and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

At first glance, he felt that Jian Du was an unparalleled genius.

There is a kind of genius who, once he appears, no one will question him.

Jian Du is the kind of genius who shines with brilliance.

Shen Yue laughed and said, "If we only compete in sword techniques, be careful not to lose to him."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, the Yandao Sect decided to deal with Jian Du using only sword techniques.

"Alright, let the other disciples observe the swordplay together and see if they can gain any insights."

Yan Daozong responded and then walked towards Jian Du.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Sect disciples quickly made way for them, clearing a space for them to practice their swordsmanship.

"Senior, I'll make the first move!"

After Jian Du finished speaking, he drew his sword and quickly approached the Yandao Sect.

Yan Daozong did not underestimate his opponent because of his youth; he drew his sword and went to meet him.

The two quickly collided with each other, their swords clashing, and they gained a general understanding of each other's swordsmanship.

What Jian Du felt was unfathomable and unshakeable.

However, the Yandao Sect discovered that he was young but had already cultivated sword intent within his body, which was truly remarkable.

The two figures intertwined, rapidly exchanging sword techniques.

Jian Du's sword moves were very fast, but it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Yan Dao Sect was deliberately feeding him moves.

No one expected Jian Du to defeat Yan Dao Zong, and Jian Du himself did not think so either. He requested a sparring match with Yan Dao Zong simply because he wanted to experience their swordsmanship.

After a hundred moves.

The tip of Yan Daozong's sword was pressed against Jian Du's throat. Jian Du froze instantly. He looked at Yan Daozong, paused for a moment, then sheathed his sword and raised his hand to bow to Yan Daozong.

"Indeed, your swordsmanship talent is the strongest I have ever seen in my life, and you may very well surpass the Sword God." Yan Daozong praised, glancing at Shen Yue as he spoke.

Shen Yue wasn't angry; he simply stroked his beard and watched the scene unfold.

Yan Daozong withdrew his gaze. He had just sheathed his sword when he found it frozen in place.

Jian Du had already closed his eyes, and he began to savor the sword techniques of the Yandao Sect.

"I didn't expect him to be a sword fanatic."

Yan Daozong thought to himself with delight that such a swordsman would be qualified to be his opponent in the future.

He was just about to turn around and walk towards Shen Yue when he stopped, his eyes becoming serious as he locked onto Jian Du again.

Shen Yue appeared beside him as if by teleportation, staring intently at Jian Du, and whispered, "Good lad, you've already entered a state of enlightenment?"

The two could clearly feel that the sword intent within Jian Du's body was rapidly increasing.

The Yandao Sect found it absurd; how could such an incredible genius have emerged again?
Moreover, the unparalleled geniuses of Qingxiao Sect manifest themselves in different aspects, each with their own unique characteristics, which is absurd.
