Chapter 51: Someone From the Thousand-Year Legacy Heavenly Sword Mountain Appeared!
On this day, a green-clothed woman arrived at the main gate of Qingyun Mountain.
The Qingyun Sect’s gate-keeping disciple looked over and saw that the woman’s face was calm, like a pure green lotus. She could only be seen from afar, but not touched. She was like a sharp sword, making it difficult to look directly at her.
The green-clothed woman slowly arrived. Even though she was far away, the gate-keeping disciple could still feel the cold and sharp sword aura.
It was very obvious that this woman was an expert who cultivated the way of the sword.
The green-clothed woman walked to the mountain’s entrance and stopped.
“I am from the Heavenly Sword Mountain and have something important to attend to. I would like to invite the sect master of the Qingyun Sect to speak with me!”
The woman’s voice was clear and melodious, and her words were crisp and clear.
Hearing the voice of the person who came, the gate-keeping disciple suddenly woke up. He did not dare to question her and hurriedly ran back to the mountain gate to report.
Not long after, Zhang Lingren and Victor took the lead and walked out, followed by many elders.
Victor looked curiously at the woman outside the gate.
Originally, he was a little angry. He was studying the way of the sword and as he finally gained some enlightenment, he was interrupted by someone.
However, when he heard that the people from the Heavenly Sword Mountain actually came to visit the Qingyun Sect, his anger turned into excitement.
One had to know that the Heavenly Sword Mountain had nearly a thousand years of heritage, and no one knew where their sect was.
Moreover, this sect was proficient in all kinds of sword techniques, and it was famous for its supreme sword techniques.
It just so happened that he had some problems with his sword techniques. Perhaps he could ask this disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain for advice. He might be able to gain something.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Sword Mountain was a sect that would only appear in the late stage of the World of Martial Arts. There were twelve major plots, and this sect appeared when it was close to the ninth plot.
Based on the current plot, the first plot was Zhang Lingren’s 300th birthday. There was still half a year before his 300th birthday, but a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain had appeared.
Could it be that something was about to happen that forced the Heavenly Sword Mountain to appear early?
That may be true. Ever since he transmigrated, the world had undergone many changes. The most obvious change was the sudden increase in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Before the 300th birthday, Zhang Lingren was already on the path to immortality.
After all, this world was not as old-fashioned as the game world. This was a real-world, so anything could happen.
Victor looked at the woman in green in front of him and had a series of thoughts.
When Zhang Lingren first heard that someone had come to visit, he thought that it was a family near the Qingyun Sect who had come in advance to celebrate their birthday.
That was because he had received some pigeon messages from them before.
After all, on the day of the birthday celebration, those who would come would all be important figures, and they would no longer have any sense of presence.
However, when he heard that the person who had come was actually a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain, even Zhang Lingren’s face was filled with shock, and he could not believe it for a moment.
After all, the Heavenly Sword Mountain did not care about the affairs of the world and had been in seclusion for many years.
Speaking of which, Zhang Lingren and the Heavenly Sword Mountain could be considered to have some relations. Perhaps it was because his talent in swordsmanship was decent. When he was young, he had received the guidance of an expert and could be considered as his first master.
Later on, Zhang Lingren read tens of thousands of books and traveled tens of thousands of miles. He also learned that the swordsmanship that he learned had a great relationship with the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
The Qingyun Sword technique was a set of basic sword techniques that Zhang Lingren created after receiving guidance from a senior.
Now that he thought about it, that person back then was very likely to be an outer disciple of the Heavenly Sword Mountain who had traveled the world.
It was rumored that the Heavenly Sword Mountain’s sect was located in a secret realm.
However, this woman actually came on behalf of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. Did this mean that the Heavenly Sword Mountain was in trouble?
“I am Zhang Lingren, the sect master of the Qingyun Sect. May I know why this lady has come to my Qingyun Sect?” Zhang Lingren stroked his beard and said with a smile.
“The world is about to change. The gate of the upper realm is about to open and close again. This time, the spiritual energy had recovered.
“On behalf of the outer sect of Heavenly Sword Mountain, I want to gather all the outstanding disciples of the major sects who are under the age of 20. I want to go to Heavenly Illusion City and hold a compet.i.tion. The winner will get a chance to enter the upper realm.”
The ring on the green-clothed woman’s finger flashed and a scroll appeared. Then, she opened the scroll and read.
As soon as the woman finished speaking, many disciples began to discuss among themselves.
“Enter the upper realm?”
“Isn’t this something that only happens in legends? Is this the legendary immortal gathering?”
“Can we go?”
“They only accept those who are under the age of 20. Look at your big beard. Is it possible?”
“I’m not 20 yet. I just look older!”
“Uh…”
Zhang Lingren nodded slightly as if he was thinking about something. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the woman in green summon a square stone tablet the size of a human head out of thin air.
“This is a testing stone tablet. After the recovery of the spiritual energy, those with outstanding talent will awaken their spiritual roots. After pa.s.sing the test on the stone tablet, they will be qualified to enter the Heavenly Sword Mountain.”
After saying that, the green-clothed woman casually summoned a purple longsword.
In the next second, the woman leaped up and stood on the sword. Then, she turned into a purple stream of light and disappeared into the clouds.
All that was left was the dumbfounded people of the Qingyun Sect, who were at a loss of words on the spot.
At this moment, Zhang Lingren’s eyes were shocked as he looked at the clouds that were drifting away with the wind. He muttered to himself, “Flying on a sword, immortal sword techniques!”
Meanwhile, Victor was staring at the stone tablet that looked like a black crystal at the door with a burning gaze.
Awakened spiritual root?
Testing tablet?
It was estimated that Zhang Lingren would be able to awaken it directly.
If he downloaded and absorbed a heavenly spirit root, then he would have the qualifications to enter the heavenly illusion city.
After all, everyone’s spirit root could only be awakened once. Compared to an unknown spirit root, no matter how good it was, it would never be better than a wood-type heavenly spirit root.
Victor’s eyes flashed. Since the world had already begun to change, the previews and trailer of his previous life might have been messed up or even rearranged.
However, Victor believed that as long as he maintained his current state, he would never be left behind.
At the same time.
100,000 meters away.
The mountain range that stretched for 10,000 meters was like a majestic dragon that stretched across the Northern region of the Central Plains.
At a cliff that was thousands of feet tall, from afar, the entire mountain peak was like a ten thousand feet long sharp sword that pierced straight into the sky!
This was the sword hut that was the training hall that was opened by Sword Demon Shi Tian, the Sword Sect that dominated the world!
At this moment, in front of the Great Hall at the peak of the mountain, there was a 100 feet wide limestone square.
The fourth-generation sword master of the sword hut was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at a sword shadow that was flowing in the distance with a solemn gaze.
And beside him stood a 16-year-old young man with a cold face and an extraordinary aura.
After a few breaths, he said in a deep voice, “If I’m not wrong, all the sects have received the invitation. Three months later, you will partic.i.p.ate in this grand compet.i.tion. With your talent and strength, your biggest opponent is the disciple named Victor that Zhang Lingren of the Qingyun Sect recently accepted.”
The young man was silent for a moment and said, “He is not my biggest opponent.”
“Huh? Who else could it be?”
“My biggest opponent is only myself!” The young man said with a determined look in his eyes.
For a time, the famous sects of the Central Plains, the South Wilderness, the Western Liang, and the Northern Desert began to select the most outstanding disciples among the sects.
At the same time, they waited for the world’s spiritual energy to recover and were ready to go to the Heavenly Sword Mountain.
