Chapter 1036 - Rising to the Peak
"..."
"What is this sound?"
"What"s going on? Why is there suddenly such a strong sword intent being emitted? "
"It seems to be the time of the Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony. Could it be that something happened?"
"..."
Within the Hidden Sword Mountain, some of the cultivators who did not go to watch the Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony were so shocked by the sudden majestic sword intent that they jumped for a moment. Inside Yan Yang City, there were even more countless of cultivators who looked in the direction of the Hidden Sword Mountain.
The sword hums shook Heaven and Earth.
On the peak of the mountain, Tang Huan"s gaze had already pa.s.sed the opposite Hidden Sword Hall as he gazed at the distant Heavenly Sword Hall. The air above the palace started to fluctuate rapidly. However, if one looked closely, they would discover that the area where the fluctuations were coming from was actually a longsword that was several times larger than before.
From that fluctuation, Tang Huan could faintly sense a sense of joy and elation.
This emotion originated from the Mandate of Swords.
Indeed, it was as Tang Huan had expected. He continued to merge the sword intent of his "Absolute Sun Scarlet Scale Sword" into the source of the sword intent. The moment he stepped past the last step, he had activated the sword"s terrifying will.
It was just that Tang Huan did not expect that the sword will that was always asleep, would actually awaken due to his Divine Armament"s Sword Intent, and then create such a huge commotion.
However, Tang Huan"s objective had finally been achieved.
The moment the Sword Will was awakened, he felt an inexplicable connection between the sword he was hiding in the heart of the mountain and himself.
"I wonder what kind of sword that is?"
Tang Huan"s mind raced, he could feel that the sword had not given birth to a sword spirit, but it was definitely a sword spirit, otherwise it would not be able to possess its own will. If he continued to absorb the sword intent, producing a sword spirit would be a natural thing.
Once a Sword Spirit appeared, it would definitely be extremely powerful.
That sword existed in the Hidden Sword Mountain, it was a powerful protection for the "Pure Yang Sword Sect", and the "Pure Yang Sword Sect" cultivators had constantly provided it with countless weapons and intents over the countless years, allowing it to absorb them. It was also the key for it to grow to its current state.
"Sword Nurturing!"
Tang Huan"s mind stirred, and the words suddenly appeared in his mind. The person who had placed the sword here all those years ago, was most likely because of the purpose of raising the sword.
Since he was going to nurture the sword, would he come back in the future and take it away?
Tang Huan shook his head, he had to stop his random thoughts, and quickly walked to the front of the Hidden Sword Hall, leaped up, and threw a punch towards the huge ancient bell. The moment he waved his fist, Tang Huan immediately discovered that the surrounding sword intent"s source energy was all hovering above his fist.
"Thump ~ ~ ~"
In the blink of an eye, the deep and heavy bell had already rang out.
His voice reverberated unhurriedly between the heaven and earth, and was extremely penetrating. In an instant, it had already resounded throughout the entire Hidden Sword Mountain, and then, it had spread throughout the entire Yan Yang City. In the instant the bell rang out, the sword chime from the belly of the mountain quieted down. The sky above the Heavenly Sword Hall had returned to its previous calm state.
After a short period of peace, the Hidden Sword Mountain and the Yan Yang City erupted into an earth-shaking hubbub. Countless cultivators who were stunned by the sword chime were jolted awake by the sound of the bell.
"Listen! The bell rings! "
"Tang Huan! It"s Tang Huan who has reached the top! "
"Swordlord … Tang Huan was the Sword Sovereign! Haha, laozi has won the bet, quickly hand over the "Initial Spirit Heavenly Crystal"! "
"It"s really been less than a day. Never before has there been a person like him, never in the future!"
"..."
At the foot of the mountain, all sorts of sounds could be heard.
Tang Huan had now become the "Sword Sovereign" of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, and would become the sect master of the Pure Yang Sword Sect in the future. As friends that came here with Tang Huan from the Tiger Clan, they felt extremely proud to see Tang Huan reach such a state in just a few short years.
"It really is Tang Huan!" Beside the main road, Xi Yi took in a long breath, and a joyful smile unconsciously revealed on his face.
"Sect Leader, just now …"
Lu Manxin returned to her senses and couldn"t help but ask.
The gazes of Wei Xuan Pavilion, Meng Xingshu and the rest landed on Xi Yi as well, their eyes filled with a strange light. The moment Tang Huan had ascended to the top, the sound of swords rang out from the depths of the Hidden Sword Mountain, and now, Tang Huan had once again sounded the ancient bell … It was very obvious that the commotion just now had a great relations.h.i.+p with Tang Huan.
"No need to ask any further." Xi Yi knew what Lu Manxin wanted to ask, so before she could finish, he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, this matter shall come to an end."
"..."
Wei Xuan Pavilion and the others exchanged looks, but they could only suppress the doubts in their hearts.
At this moment, there were a large number of figures rolling down the stone steps, alarmed by the sword chime. Many people were still able to calm their hearts, but when they heard the bell chime, many of the cultivators were unable to control themselves and were no longer able to withstand the onslaught of the sword intent.
For a time, only a few dozen people remained on the originally densely packed stone steps.
"Tang Huan..."
Mei Yingluo"s delicate body slightly shook, but she soon regained her composure and helplessly shook her head.
After all, this "Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony" did not compete in terms of cultivation and strength, and after losing to Tang Huan in the compet.i.tion, he was ranked number 2 on the Heaven Ranking. He originally thought that he could turn the tables around at the ceremony, but unexpectedly, not even a day had pa.s.sed, and Tang Huan had already reached the summit, ringing the ancient bell.
Furthermore, the sword chime earlier was most likely caused by Tang Huan.
Although she did not know how Tang Huan had managed to do it, she could only imagine that Tang Huan"s connection with the sword intent had reached an unbelievable state. Right now, the results obtained by Tang Huan in this "Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony" was enough to make all the partic.i.p.ants feel despair, and was also enough to cause countless of future generations to feel despair.
In less than a day, he had already reached the summit bell. Other than Tang Huan, no one else was able to do it.
Only after a long while did Mei Yingluo regain her composure. There was no hope for her to become the Swordlord, but she could not miss the chance to be the Swordlord.
Compared to Mei Yingluo, who had adjusted herself very quickly, the other swordsmen were bitter.
This was especially true for the middle-aged man named He Ming.
As the first person to resonate with the sword intent, he was determined to win the battle for the position of Sword Sovereign. However, he did not expect Tang Huan to succeed so quickly. After that, he saw Tang Huan walking down the stairs, and was secretly happy, so he calmed his mind and captured the sword intent"s source intent.
However, when he was woken up once again, reality splashed him with cold water.
Tang Huan had already reached the top!
At this moment, He Ming had the urge to curse. He wasn"t the only one. The other cultivators that were flipped over were the same. To reach the peak of the grand ceremony so quickly, how could they possibly accept the favor of others? However, no matter what the crowd thought, the grand ceremony still had to continue.
