Beneath Sword Mountain!

All the monks in line were dumbfounded.

Failure is considered a failure; this is an age-old truth.

Why did it fail when it came to Lu Changsheng?

Is it just because he's handsome?

Not to mention them, even Lu Changsheng himself didn't expect it.

Is this considered passing the game?

With my level of kendo talent? I can actually pass?

What about the regulations?

What about the system?

What about the rules?

Lu Changsheng's worldview was completely shattered.

If I were to directly activate the Nine Sword Lights and cause a celestial phenomenon, then it would be reasonable for the other party to do so.

Not a single Sword-Ray was activated.

Can I still pass the game?

Lu Changsheng fell into deep thought.

Congratulations, Young Master Lu!

Chen Yinrou opened her mouth, but in reality, she didn't know what to say.

But the fact remains that Lu Changsheng did indeed pass.

The process is not important; the result is the most important.

Lu Changsheng didn't know what to say.

He didn't plan to participate in the Second Trial of the Shu Gate Holy Land, after all, he hadn't come here to become an apprentice.

Light is the first hurdle.

The assessment will last for a whole day.

The next day.

The assessment results are out. A total of 25,000 people passed the first stage, but the number of disciples who came to participate in the assessment was far more than 25 million.

In other words, the ratio is one in a thousand, which is truly as difficult as ascending to heaven.

And this isn't even the final hurdle.

Tomorrow will be the Second Trial: Sword Art Comprehension.

The following night.

Lu Changsheng did not participate in the assessment at Seven Elegances Court; he only heard the news from Chen Yinrou.

The Second Trial had 10,000 people pass.

This ratio is acceptable.

However, if you can pass the first level, the Second Trial level shouldn't be too difficult either.

That evening, Li Lingyun led four people to Lu Changsheng and knelt down to Lu Changsheng with gratitude.

He informed Lu Changsheng that he had passed the first test and was very grateful for Lu Changsheng's care over the past few days.

It must be said that although Li Lingyun and the others were a bit lacking in talent and not particularly handsome, they had a very Innocent Heart.

At least they know how to be grateful and won't forget their benefactors when they achieve success.

Even if such a person is a little slow or not very adaptable, they are still a million times better than those ungrateful wretches.

Several people bowed.

Lu Changsheng seemed a little embarrassed, so he took out several pieces of Spirit Jade from his Universe Ring. These were treasures from the Great Luo Holy Land, which he originally intended to give away as a favor.

Wearing these Spirit Jade can improve one's physical condition and accelerate cultivation. They are top-grade treasures, and even the Core Disciple of the Holy Land do not possess such items.

However, Lu Changsheng gave one to each person, and for him, this kind of thing didn't have much value.

The treasures within the Langya Immortal Treasury, even a single piece of the Spirit Communication Jade, are extremely precious. Yet, Lu Changsheng possesses a great many Spirit Communication Jade, enough to be weighed by the pound.

So this amount of jade is really nothing.

But for Li Lingyun and his companions, this was an invaluable treasure.

Lu Changsheng: "This is nothing to me, take it."

Li Lingyun: "Senior, we have been taken care of during this time, how could we dare to accept such a treasure? I don't want it!"

Lu Changsheng: "Don't say any more, take it."

Li Lingyun: "Senior, we really cannot accept this."

Lu Changsheng: "Alright then, I won't give it to you. You four, one piece each. Don't be like your senior brother, who I don't know where he learned such pedantry. Quickly accept it."

Since Li Lingyun doesn't want it, Lu Changsheng won't give it to her either.

The five people were taken aback.

Li Lingyun is somewhat dull.

The other four, having regained their senses, immediately accepted the precious jade one by one, and then remained silent.

However, it was clear that Li Lingyun did not want it. After a slight moment of hesitation, he quickly calmed down and said, "Senior, I will never forget this kindness. If I ever achieve something, I will definitely repay your kindness!"

Li Lingyun spoke earnestly, his words resolute.

Lu Changsheng nodded and didn't say anything more.

Although Li Lingyun is indeed of good character.

But sometimes we should only take good advice halfway; whether it will actually be implemented remains to be seen in the future.

Time will tell.

Meeting is fate, so don't force anything.

And so it went on for the third day.

The Third Trial of the Shu Gate Holy Land has begun.

Sword Mountain Recognition.

Countless cultivators had been waiting for this moment.

Even some eliminated cultivators can give it a try. If they can actually obtain the Sword Mountain Spirit Sword, they might have a glimmer of hope.

It was still dark.

The people of Shu Gate Holy City have all rushed to Sword Mountain.

Lu Changsheng went to Sword Mountain with Li Lingyun and others.

The Shu Gate Holy City is about 500 li away from Sword Mountain.

Chen Yinrou prepared a fine carriage, pulled by a mythical beast that could walk on air.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Then they arrived at Shu Gate Sword Mountain.

I had previously seen Sword Mountain in the Holy City; it resembled a peerless Peerless Divine Sword, soaring straight into the clouds.

However, he personally arrived at the Under Sword Mountain.

Lu Changsheng was indeed shocked by the Sword Mountain.

A colossal mountain, shaped like a sword, stands between heaven and earth. Looking up, its length is unknown, reaching straight into the clouds.

On the Sword Mountain, there were flying swords stuck in the middle, each of them exuding a terrifying sword intent.

At a glance, Lu Changsheng believed that there were not just tens of thousands of flying swords, but even hundreds of millions or millions.

This Sword Mountain is magnificent.

It's stunning.

Only in the world of immortals and heroes can such a magnificent sacred mountain appear.

It wasn't just Lu Changsheng who was shocked.

The cultivators who arrived here were all shocked.

"Even though I've been here before, standing at the Under Sword Mountain again still fills me with awe."

Li Lingyun spoke slowly, his emotions still unsettled.

"Is this the legendary Shu Gate Sword Mountain?"

"I really don't know if I can Sword Mountain Resonance and obtain my own exclusive spirit sword."

People were talking amongst themselves, and standing at the Under Sword Mountain, they all felt a sense of insignificance, like dust.

However, it wasn't until the hour of Mao (5-7 AM) that things changed.

In an instant, beams of sword light shot into the sky.

"Welcome, Holy Lord!"

As the sound rang out, the sky was instantly illuminated with dazzling light.

A phantom figure landed above the crowd, and then hundreds of Shu Sect disciples stood around, beaming with pride.

"We have met the Holy Lord!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and Lu Changsheng joined in, naturally calling him "Holy Lord".

"The Third Trial of the Shu Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony is about to begin. Other cultivators, if they are destined, can also Condensing Sword Intent around Sword Mountain. Those who resonate with the spiritual sword are all destined and can take the spiritual sword for themselves!"

The voice of the Shu Gate Holy Lord rang out, loud and clear, reaching everyone's ears.

"The Shu Sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony will be presided over by Xu Jian, the Shu Gate Holy Son!"

Then, another voice rang out.

In an instant, Xu Jian appeared.

He was still surrounded by hundreds of sword lights, powerful and invincible, like a sword god descending, standing in the void, calmly watching everyone.

Then, her gaze slowly fell on Lu Changsheng.

But soon, Xu Jian withdrew his gaze and slowly said, "The assessment begins! The time limit is one day. If you can resonate with the Sword Mountain Spirit Sword within one day, you will be considered to have passed! Other cultivators may also Condensing Sword Intent at the Sword Mountain for one day."

As his voice rang out, countless sword cultivators began to surge around Sword Mountain, Condensing Sword Intent.

The crowd surged.

Lu Changsheng, however, remained calm, simply looking at Sword Mountain in silence.

That's it.

Time passed little by little.

One hour!

Two hours!

Three hours!

Five hours!

Six hours!

Half a day passed, from day to night, and yet not a single person managed to Sword Mountain Resonance and obtain a spirit sword.

In the void.

Xu Jian and his disciples watched all of this unfold.

Someone spoke up, slowly saying, "The disciples of this year are not very talented; so far, no one has been able to activate their spirit sword."

"Yes, last time, it took three hours for someone to trigger the resonance of their spiritual sword. This time, it has taken six hours and no cultivator has triggered the resonance of their spiritual sword. It seems that at most only a few hundred people will pass this time."

"Several hundred people? I think it's probably even fewer."

"Sword Mountain is a supreme divine object. Every spiritual sword on Sword Mountain has its own consciousness. How can an ordinary person subdue it?"

The disciples exchanged these words.

Xu Jian remained silent.

And so time passed once more.

Seven hours!

Eight hours!

Nine hours!

Ten hours!

A full ten hours passed.

Countless people are in a state of utter distress, and many even seem to be on the verge of becoming possessed.

But the Sword Mountain remained completely still.

There was no resonance from any of the spiritual swords.

This not only plunged countless cultivators into despair, but even the disciples of the Shu Gate Holy Land were intrigued.

"It's been ten hours already, and not a single spirit sword has resonated yet?"

"Ten hours have passed, and not a single spiritual sword has resonated with its power. This is truly strange."

"Isn't this a bit too strange?"

"Could it be that this year's disciples are really that bad?"

"We should have told the Holy Lord long ago to cancel the once-every-ten-years test and make it once every twenty years. Fellow disciples, look at these disciples. Most of them came to be tested last time. If they're not good enough, they're not good enough!"

"It's a bit strange, but cultivating immortality is difficult, and so is the way of the sword. If it's not working, it's just not working. Sigh!"

They were talking amongst themselves in the void.

I also found it strange.

And so it went, into the eleventh hour.

Still, no one can make the Sword Mountain Spirit Sword resonate.

This left many monks in despair.

Many people chose to give up.

Someone burst into tears.

Some people remained silent.

Some people were filled with emotion.

A sense of sadness instantly permeated the area around Sword Mountain.

Lu Changsheng watched all of this quietly.

Even he was somewhat surprised.

Although I knew the Holy Land assessment was difficult, I didn't expect it to be this difficult.

Eleven hours have passed, and no one has managed to resonate with the spirit sword. It's really difficult.

"That's a bit strange. Although there aren't any exceptionally talented cultivators this year, it's not like not a single disciple has Sword Mountain Resonance in eleven hours, is it?"

Chen Yinrou spoke up from the side, feeling puzzled.

Lu Changsheng remained silent.

But at that moment, a wail rang out.

"Why?"

"Why?"

"I have practiced Swordsmanship diligently for fifteen years, training in Swordsmanship since childhood, enduring pain that ordinary people cannot bear, and suffering that others cannot taste! But why can't I still Sword Mountain Resonance? Am I really that worthless?"

This is a man who is thirty years old. Theoretically speaking, if he fails this time, he will not be able to take the test again.

His cries instantly brought grief to many people.

Some people cried along with the others, while others remained calm and steadfast.

Some even chose to give up.

A young man stood up and left quietly without saying a word.

This is the ruthlessness of cultivating immortality.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Lu Changsheng took everything in.

He remained silent.

Think about yourself again.

If he weren't handsome, he might be just like them.

Just like cultivation.

Despite all his hard work and cultivation, he has only reached the Golden Core Realm.

Cultivation is really difficult.

There is still one incense stick's time left in the twelfth hour.

Sword Mountain remained unmoved.

Everyone was in despair.

What are the possibilities for the last incense stick?

The disciples of the Shu Gate Holy Land were also quite surprised.

Knowing that Sword Mountain Resonance is difficult, yet there isn't a single one? This is truly strange; such a thing has never happened before.

"There's something strange going on; go and inform the Holy Lord."

Xu Jian spoke up, also feeling something was amiss, but for now, the only thing he could do was ask the Holy Lord to come and investigate the problem.

However, very soon.

The twelve hours have passed.

In an instant, a bell rang, signaling the end.

Many people woke up, but were unwilling to leave.

Many people shed tears, but were unwilling to give up.

Many people are unwilling to accept this, but are powerless to do anything about it.

Sigh!

Cultivating immortality is difficult!

Lu Changsheng never tried it from beginning to end, mainly because he was affected by the first test.

After all, they couldn't even pass the first level.

How could it possibly Sword Mountain Resonance?

However, at that moment...

Xu Jian's voice rang out again.

"By the grace of the Holy Lord, you may try for another day."

The sound rang out, and countless cultivators were instantly astonished.

Without saying much, the group returned to their original positions and continued to communicate their sword intent.

Chen Yinrou, standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up, "Young Master Lu, why don't you give it a try?"

I heard a sound.

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said, "If you can't even pass the first test, trying this would only be humiliating."

His words carried a slight self-deprecating tone.

However, Chen Yinrou shook her head and said, "The first test is nothing more than a test of sword aptitude. I have heard that whether one can pass the Sword Mountain test depends on willpower and willpower towards the sword. Young Master Young Master Lu could also say some encouraging words, which might be able to make the Sword Mountain resonate with them. In the previous session, there was a cultivator who said some extremely passionate words and received Sword Mountain Resonance. Young Master Lu could give it a try."

Chen Yinrou said this.

"Can this Sword Mountain understand human speech?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

He really didn't expect that Sword Mountain could understand human speech.

"The Shu Gate Sword Mountain is a divine object, and it is rumored that it does indeed possess sentience."

Chen Yinrou replied.

"Understood."

Lu Changsheng finally understood.

So it turns out that not only does it take Condensing Sword Intent, but talking trash also works?

In that case, we might as well give it a try.

Think about what to say.

Do I want this sky? It can no longer obscure my vision?

No, no, that's not appropriate for the occasion.

I am the Heavenly Emperor Lu, and I shall suppress all enemies in the world.

No, no, that's just asking for trouble.

Well

Oh!

Got it!

Lu Changsheng had an idea.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Then he slowly walked into the Sword Mountain.

In an instant, Xu Jian noticed this scene in the void.

In fact, he had been keeping an eye on Lu Changsheng.

After twelve hours, they noticed that Lu Changsheng hadn't moved an inch, which they found rather strange.

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng make a move.

I couldn't help but become curious.

It wasn't just him.

In fact, quite a few people are secretly paying attention to Lu Changsheng.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, Lu Changsheng is too handsome.

Like a crane standing among chickens.

It's impossible to avoid being noticed.

Soon.

Lu Changsheng arrived at the Under Sword Mountain.

Look up.

The Sword Mountain, piercing straight into the clouds, appears incredibly magnificent.

It was breathtaking.

In an instant.

Lu Changsheng put his left hand behind his back and pointed his right hand to the ground.

Then he slowly began to speak.
