Venerable Moon Sword, Sword Child Competition

This is a long-standing saying within the Tianjian Sect.

It means the Heavenly Sword Record only experiences tremors under three circumstances: the first is the death of a Spirit Transmutation expert, the second is a change in the Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect, and the third is the emergence of a new Sword Child in the Tianjian Sect.

"The several Spirit Transmutation Ancestors still have plenty of lifespan, and they haven't left recently, so it's impossible for them to suddenly die. As for the Sect Master's term, there are still over seven hundred years left, so it's not time for a change. That leaves only one possibility: a new Sword Child has emerged."

As the disciple who had been dozing off finished his analysis, his eyes seemed to sparkle with a light called envy.

They were able to guard the Ancestral Hall, and their status among the True Disciples was already extremely high.

But compared to a Sword Child?

It was still a world of difference!

Just then, another disciple was about to report the news.

Powerful auras suddenly appeared around them, their gazes intensely fixed on the Heavenly Sword Record floating in mid-air.

"Are these the Peak Lords of the Four Great Peaks? The Grand Elder of the sect and the Head of the Enforcement Hall are also here."

The two disciples trembled in fear as they watched the usually elusive and powerful figures one by one appear, unleashing terrifying auras.

These powerhouses were all at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

In terms of strength, they could be considered Nascent Soul Overlords.

Any one of them had the ability to destroy an external Nascent Soul-level force head-on.

"All of you, retract your auras. There are still disciples here! Don't scare these two little ones!"

A woman with a slight smile approached, her voice as gentle as the mountain breeze and as ethereal as the moon on the water.

"Understood, Sect Master. We were just a bit too excited," the Head of the Enforcement Hall said with a sheepish grin, being the first to restrain his aura.

The other sect leaders followed suit.

The two disciples' hearts, which had been suspended, finally began to beat again.

They looked at the smiling woman, their eyes filled with excitement.

This was the current Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect.

She hailed from Moon Sword Peak, was the previous generation's Sword Child, and the youngest Spirit Transmutation Venerable of the Tianjian Sect.

What was most impressive was her title as Venerable, Venerable Moon Sword.

After all, in the Tianjian Sect, there was only one condition to use the name of a Great Peak as one's title.

That was having sufficient strength.

As long as one proved that their strength was unmatched among all cultivators of the same realm, both currently and historically, within their respective Great Peaks, then it was acceptable.

Take Moon Sword Peak as an example.

This would allow one to be called Moon Sword True Person at the Golden Core stage and Moon Sword True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage.

And the Tianjian Sect Master's title was Venerable Moon Sword.

This indicated that the current strength of the Tianjian Sect Master was considered the strongest among the dozens of Spirit Transmutation Venerables in the history of Moon Sword Peak.

Even more terrifying was that the Tianjian Sect Master was still very young, less than 2,000 years old.

She hadn't even completed one-fifth of the lifespan of a Spirit Transmutation Venerable.

Who knew what heights she could reach in the future?

Currently, almost everyone in the entire sect regarded this Sect Master as someone akin to the next Seven Generations Ancestor.

"You two little ones have no business here. You can head down now," Venerable Moon Sword said with a gentle smile.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The two disciples immediately withdrew.

After they had gone far away, Venerable Moon Sword spoke with a half-smile.

"Why are you all here at the Ancestral Hall? Are you here to pay respects to the ancestors?"

"Sect Master, aren't you asking the obvious?" True Monarch Mingyang, the Peak Lord of Sun Sword Peak, spoke up.

He appeared to be a very refined young man, seemingly a bit frail, giving the impression that he was easily bullied.

However, anyone who had witnessed his battles would not think so.

His fighting style was violent and brutal. Tearing apart the physical bodies of fourth-tier Yao Beasts with his bare hands, biting demonic cultivators of the same realm to death with his mouth, and crushing the heads of female cultivators with his long legs were all trivial feats in his cultivation journey.

"Alright, then let's be direct. You're all here to find out the identity of this new Sword Child from the Heavenly Sword Record so you can rush to snatch them first, aren't you?"

"Heh heh!!"

Several individuals who were considered overlords among the Nascent Soul cultivators chuckled sheepishly. They indeed had this intention.

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

A Sword Child-level figure would, at the very least, become a powerhouse of comparable strength to them in the future, and there was a high possibility of breaking through to Spirit Transmutation.

If such a person came into their hands, it would bring glory to their respective factions for thousands of years.

"Then it's simple, I won't allow your disputes!"

Venerable Moon Sword's gaze swept around, and she continued.

"This Sword Child will belong to the faction they came from! Don't even think about him changing sects."

As soon as she said this, except for the sect leader, the peak master of Moon Sword Peak, and the head of the Law Enforcement Hall, who remained unperturbed, the other Nascent Soul True Lords became anxious.

"No, Sect Leader, what if this Sword Child appears in one of the three factions they belong to?"

"Yes, as Sect Leader, you must consider the balance of the sect!"

Currently, the two Sword Children of the Tianjian Sect came from Tianjian Peak and the Law Enforcement Hall.

As for Moon Sword Peak, it was the faction Venerable Moon Sword herself came from, so there was no need to even mention it.

"Balance? I don't think I need to consider it."

A hint of playfulness appeared on Venerable Moon Sword's beautiful face.

As the most powerful Spirit Transmutation cultivator in the current generation of the Tianjian Sect, her strength was enough to suppress all the factions within the sect.

The balance that any sect leader in history had to consider simply didn't exist for her.

Because even if you brought out the Spirit Transmutation Ancestor from your own faction.

Sorry, you'd still not be her match.

The Nascent Soul True Lords were also helpless.

What could they do with such a Sect Leader?

"Then let's agree beforehand, if this Sword Child is born on a minor peak, you can't stop us then," said True Monarch Mingyang, the peak master of Sun Sword Peak, helplessly.

"That's natural."

Venerable Moon Sword nodded with a smile.

If a Sword Child was born on a minor peak, it would be irresponsible to that Sword Child not to allow them to join a major peak or an important hall jointly established by the four major peaks.

Minor peaks found it difficult to provide the resources a Sword Child needed to grow.

"Sigh." The Nascent Soul True Lords sighed.

Even though she said that.

The probability of a Sword Child appearing on a minor peak was incredibly low.

In the history of the Tianjian Sect, out of over 100 Sword Children, only two came from minor peaks.

And those two were due to the sect's imperfect talent selection system at the time.

In the last nearly 100,000 years, no Sword Child had originated from a minor peak.

After dozens of breaths, the light on the Heavenly Sword Record gradually faded, and the text on it could finally be seen clearly.

Everyone released their divine senses, scanning the Sword Child column to see who had appeared.

[In the 176448th year of the Heavenly Sword Calendar, near the border of Scarlet and Azure Clouds in the Seven Clouds Mountain Range, a sword cultivator with talent, Su Yang, was born. He can be a True Disciple of the sect. The True Disciple Token has been issued.]

[In the 176464th year of the Heavenly Sword Calendar, the unregistered True Disciple Su Yang broke through to Perfect Foundation Establishment at the age of 16, meeting the standard for a Sword Child. He can be a Sword Child of the sect. The Sect Sword Child Token has been issued.]

[After entering the sect, it is recommended to join Sun Sword Peak.]

"Su Yang, so the new Sword Child's name is Su Yang. He broke through to Perfect Foundation Establishment at just 16 years old. What incredible talent!"

"Mingyang, your Sun Sword Peak will rise soon. Don't bully us too badly then."

"Yeah, Mingyang, when you eat meat, leave us some soup to drink!"

The Nascent Soul True Lords teased him.

But True Monarch Mingyang's mood wasn't so cheerful. Were these True Lords blind?

They couldn't even see clearly.

"Stop talking, what are you looking at? Look clearly before you speak."

Only then did the True Lords begin to observe carefully.

It turned out that when their divine senses swept over, they hadn't looked closely. Seeing the words "Sun Sword Peak," they thought he was a disciple of Sun Sword Peak.

Unexpectedly, it was a recommendation to join Sun Sword Peak.

It was still in the recommendation stage of the Heavenly Sword Record, meaning this disciple had not yet entered the sect, nor had he formally joined the Tianjian Sect.

A wild Sword Child who hadn't joined the sect.

This term sounded so strange.
