Sword Pavilion of Human Cultivators!

[Sword Dao Supreme: Born with unparalleled comprehension of the Sword Dao and a unique understanding of it. When paired with a Sword Dao Cultivation Method, it can achieve a hundredfold result with half the effort!]

[Having obtained Sword Dao Supreme, you immediately began cultivating the Great Void Sword Art without stopping for a moment!]

[One year later, you successfully cultivated the Great Void Sword Art from beginner level to minor accomplishment.]

[At the same time, you also cultivated Great Void Sword Intent!]

[When Ye Chuxue saw you emerge after one year of seclusion, your cultivation had grown even more profound, while streams of sword intent coiled around your body.]

[At this time, you also noticed Ye Chuxue. After you gave her a vast amount of resources, she broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm within a year.]

["You broke through? Do you know the truth now?"]

[Ye Chuxue looked at you with complicated eyes. She had never expected the truth of this world to be so dark.]

["What should we do next? The Azure Cloud Sect has already issued warrants for us throughout Green Prefecture!"]

[Ye Chuxue regarded you as her current pillar and began asking about your plans.]

[You told her to cultivate in Desolate Village for now. You would be leaving on a long journey, for as little as one or two years, or as long as three to five years.]

[Before leaving, you told her to break through to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection as much as possible before you returned. Then, you would take her to the Immortal Falling Secret Realm to break through.]

[Ye Chuxue naturally knew what kind of place the Immortal Falling Secret Realm was, so she nodded without any hesitation.]

[You left Ye Chuxue a large quantity of resources plundered from the Azure Cloud Sect, then headed toward You Prefecture.]

[This time, you planned to leave Green Prefecture and visit other prefectures to see the situation.]

[Based on the information about the Canglan Realm that you currently possessed, you had no idea what the true situation was.]

[Half a year later, you successfully arrived at the border of You Prefecture.]

[You had previously learned that the overall situation in You Prefecture was divided among four top forces: the Pill Sect, Sword Pavilion, Yin Yang Sect, and Feather Ascension Sect.]

[And You Prefecture's forbidden ground, just like Green Prefecture's, was the Immortal Falling Secret Realm within the Sky Abyss at the border between You Prefecture and Green Prefecture!]

[Your main purpose in coming to You Prefecture this time was to seize cultivation resources.]

[Green Prefecture was now filled with warrants for your arrest. It would be somewhat difficult for you to infiltrate the Myriad Devil Sect and Wind Thunder Sect again.]

[The first force you came to was the Sword Pavilion!]

[With the Sword Dao Supreme talent, you were naturally fond of the Sword Pavilion.]

[You concealed your cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, then went to the Sword Pavilion to register and join it.]

[However, when you arrived at Heaven Sword Mountain, the Sword Pavilion's grounds were packed shoulder to shoulder with people who had come to register.]

[At the same time, you heard all kinds of discussions about the Sword Pavilion around you.]

["This time, how many people do you think will successfully join the Sword Pavilion?"]

["That's hard to say. No one has successfully joined the Sword Pavilion in three years."]

["Sigh! The Sword Pavilion's requirements for accepting disciples are truly too high. But I heard that the benefits for every disciple who successfully joins are especially good. Their cultivation resources are several times those of other sects!"]

["Isn't that obvious? Take a look at how few disciples the Sword Pavilion has from top to bottom!"]

["Although the Sword Pavilion has few disciples, every one of them can fight ten opponents alone!"]

[Listening to the discussions around you, you gained a rough understanding of the Sword Pavilion's basic situation.]

[What surprised you was that although the Sword Pavilion accepted disciples every year, it had not successfully accepted a single disciple in thirty years.]

[You did not understand what the Sword Pavilion was thinking, for its standards for accepting disciples were actually this strict.]

[In your view, this did not fit the disciple-recruitment style of a major sect at all.]

[Although it had to be admitted that the Sword Pavilion's benefits were excellent, its excessively high threshold made people stop in their tracks.]

[Three hours later, it was finally your turn.]

[The person in charge of the assessment brought you before a stone stele and gave you half an incense stick's time to comprehend it yourself.]

[As for what you were supposed to comprehend, he did not say. He simply turned and left, abandoning you there alone.]

[You glanced at the assessor beside you and asked what the content of this assessment was.]

[The other party gave you an impatient look.]

["You're asking me what it is? I'd like to ask you what it is too!"]

["The Sword Pavilion's assessments have always been like this. Those who failed even believed that the Sword Pavilion was toying with them by using a broken stone to assess them."]

[Seeing this, you stopped asking and closed your eyes to sense the stone stele before you.]

[In the next instant, you sensed a faint strand of sword intent from the stone stele!]

[Very quickly, the stone stele began to tremble. The sword intent on it resonated with you.]

[The assessment disciple who had only just left instantly appeared at your side, staring at you in shock.]

[He had not expected that just as the assessment began, you would directly communicate with the sword intent on the stone stele. This was something the Sword Pavilion had never encountered since its founding.]

["Congratulations, you have passed the assessment! Come with me!"]

[The young man led you away from the assessment site beneath everyone's astonished gazes.]

[Not long afterward, you were brought into a great hall.]

[The young man spoke toward the empty hall.]

["Pavilion Master! This is the only disciple who passed the assessment this year, and moreover..."]

[At this point, the young man gave you a deep look before continuing.]

["Moreover, he passed the assessment extremely quickly. It only took a few breaths."]

[As soon as he finished speaking, you felt an intense sword intent rush toward your face. The Great Void Sword Intent within you could not help wanting to contend against it.]

[Fortunately, that sword intent came swiftly and vanished just as swiftly.]

[You successfully suppressed the Great Void Sword Intent within you before it erupted.]

[A white-haired old man appeared before you and looked you over several times.]

["A genius of the Sword Dao! Heaven truly blesses my Sword Pavilion!"]

["Lin Tian, you may leave first!"]

[After the Sword Pavilion Master sent Lin Tian, who had brought you here, away, he gave you a meaningful look.]

["You are not at the ninth level of Qi Refinement, are you?"]

[The moment those words were spoken, a stormy sea rose in your heart.]

[You had not expected your Concealment Technique to be as transparent as empty air before the white-haired old man.]

[Just as you prepared to use the Great Void Technique to flee, the white-haired old man's next words shocked you once more.]

["Don't worry! There are no Sinister Worms in the Sword Pavilion. We are all ordinary humans!"]
