Before counting breaths.

When Fang Xin finally defeated Sword Five and arrived at the Sword Six Sword Fighting Arena, she was instantly stunned.

At this moment, she finally understood why Li Li had been so surprised and astonished at this juncture.

"Jiang Pingping?!"

Fang Xin was shocked; she hadn't expected that Sword Six would be Jiang Pingping.

Jiang Ping didn't seem too surprised to see the person approaching. He slightly swerved to make way for the person leading up the mountain.

"Go up."

Upon seeing this, Fang Xin was even more stunned and stood frozen in place.

In fact, when she learned that Sword Six was Jiang Pingping, she had already prepared to give up.

She had personally witnessed how Shi Zhou, a genius capable of injuring her, met a tragic end at the hands of her opponent.

This level of strength is practically invincible during the Divine Travel stage.

However, she never expected that this person would let her go up the mountain, before they even fought.

If you linger any longer, I'll think you're going to fight me.

A gentle voice rang in Fang Xin's ears.

Her body trembled as if from the shock, she quickly bowed in gratitude, and then hurriedly headed towards the seventh level.

Jiang Ping watched the other person disappear, then returned to his original spot, quietly waiting for the next destined person.

"You're quite the smooth operator, always favoring your own people. That little girl with the umbrella was even cuter, yet you didn't go easy on her, and you even beat her up so badly."

The Turtle Shell perched on Jiang Ping's head, and said strangely.

Jiang Ping casually remarked, "Those True Saints have already taken all the best rewards. Letting the Qingling people pass a small test won't have much of an impact."

He safely weathered the most dangerous years under the protection of the Qingling Palace, and upon arriving on this Moon Star, he received further assistance from Venerable Qingling. In return, it is not inappropriate for the Qingling prodigy to receive more benefits.

The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it also requires understanding human relationships and social dynamics.

Aren't you afraid that Dao-Carrying Artifact will cause you trouble?

"That senior only instructed the juniors to guard the mountain, but didn't say anything about not being able to let water flow. What is not prohibited by law is permitted."

Buzz!

As the two chatted, a white light appeared indicating they had passed the seventh level.

"Look, even our Qingling elders went easy on us."

Jiang Ping looked up and met the eyes of the True Saint of the Seventh Pass. The other party nodded solemnly, with a knowing look in his eyes.

At the foot of the mountain, the seven gates shone with a dazzling white light, leaving everyone somewhat bewildered.

Who would have thought that after quickly passing the sixth level, Fang Xin would pass the seventh level in a very short time?

"They're really going easy on us! Sword Six and Sword Seven are definitely going easy on us!"

"This is blatant blatant abuse of power!"

The Five Thunder Hall prodigy roared angrily.

Is there any justice in this Heavenly Principle? The much stronger Li Li was beaten to a pulp by Sword Six, while the weaker Fang Xin passed the level so easily.

If there were no inside story, he'd eat this mountain up.

"Could it be that Sword Six and Sword Seven are Fang Xin, or are they from your Qingling Palace?"

A prodigy who Double Break Six stared at Xiao Ran with hostile intent.

The two Sword Disciples were clearly disrupting the rankings and affecting the interests of others by doing this.

"Senior, please appear and uphold justice!"

Some people immediately shouted angrily, wanting the legendary Dao-Carrying Artifact to step in and expel those two bad apples from the Sword Disciple's ranks.

"Senior brother, good luck to you."

Feeling the many unfriendly gazes, Xiao Ran couldn't stand it anymore and started climbing the mountain without waiting for Fang Xin to finish.

Buzz buzz buzz!

This person's strength is beyond doubt; he broke through five levels in a row and quickly arrived at the Sword Six.

When the familiar handsome face came into view, Xiao Ran was momentarily lost in thought.

Who would have thought that Sword Six, who brutally beat up strong men and ruthlessly destroyed women, was actually Jiang Pingping Tang Sheng once regarded as a roadside weed?

Jiang Ping finally revealed his surprise. After Fang Xin, there was actually another Qingling prodigy, and even Senior Brother Xiao Ran, who had helped him out of trouble under the Divine Tree.

He deftly swerved to make way for him. "Let's go up the mountain."

Xiao Ran raised an eyebrow. In a moment, he realized a lot of information. For example, Jiang Pingping's strength was actually able to surpass Li Li's, which meant that the other party had gained a lot under the Divine Tree and most likely had broken through to the sixth level of Order.

Jiang Pingping's remarkable progress in such a short time demonstrates that the other party is exceptionally talented.

"Let me go up the mountain?"

When he saw Jiang Pingping's actions, he was stunned. It turned out that Fang Xin really had passed the test in this way.

Xiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "You shouldn't have done that. Many talented people below have complaints, and if they find out what you did afterward, they might cause you trouble."

"Oh."

Jiang Ping responded softly, and seeing that the other party showed no sign of coming over, he frowned and said, "You don't necessarily want to fight Jiang, do you?"

Xiao Ran nodded solemnly. "That's only right. After me, if you encounter Qingling people, you don't need to hold back anymore."

"Not to mention..."

Before he finished speaking, he used the Lightning and Thunder Technique to press down on them.

As Upper True Disciple Qingling, why would he need anyone to help him pass the test?

He is a rare talent in the world, and he also has his own pride. He doesn't need his opponents to show mercy; he can still fight his way up based on his strength.

Jiang Ping focused his mind, calmly watching the lightning and sparks fly across the field. He remained unmoved, his right hand forming a sword with two fingers together, a grand sword sound emanating from his robes as they fluttered in the wind.

Sulfuric acid!

He pressed down on the thunder with two fingers and shattered the Thunder Fire with a single sword strike. The sharp Sword Light gradually magnified in Xiao Ran's eyes.

At that moment, the pupils of the True Disciple of Qingling shrank sharply, as if he had experienced a chilling instant.

With a bang, the unstoppable Sword Light flashed past Xiao Ran's ear, creating a deafening explosion behind him.

Xiao Ran stopped abruptly, frozen in place, a strand of her black hair slowly sliding to the ground.

His hands, which were forming hand seals, trembled slightly, and a violent storm was brewing in his mind.

"Is that okay?"

Across from him, Jiang Ping had already sheathed his sword, put his hands behind his back, and glanced at his opponent.

Xiao Ran was awakened by the voice. When he came to his senses, his eyes were filled with a complex mix of emotions.

"Kid, you've really set a trap. You beat up the previous opponents mercilessly. You need to tone it down. That senior is definitely watching. If you displease him, you might not get the reward."

The Turtle Shell made a sound at the right time, indicating that it was somewhat worried, fearing that it would return empty-handed.

Jiang Ping then said, "Anyway, it's impossible to make up for a missing piece of your body, and it won't make much of a difference."

The Turtle Shell retorted, "How can you be so careless? You weren't like this when we were repairing the Life-Death Sword."

Jiang Ping replied, "No need to rush. I may not be able to obtain the fragments from you, senior. If someone else gets them, we can trade them later. Besides, it won't be easy for you to complete them. Once I'm stronger, I will definitely travel thousands of miles to find all the fragments for you."

Turtle Shell's tone softened considerably as he said, "You'd better keep your word."

A ruler's word is his bond.

Not far away, Xiao Ran was still processing what had just happened. He looked at Jiang Pingping, who was chatting with the Supreme Artifact, and hesitated to speak.

Jiang Ping, ever the understanding one, immediately slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot, Senior Brother Xiao, let's hurry up the mountain."

Xiao Ran's face flushed red. Just now he was full of ambition, believing that he could pass the test with his own strength. But now he still had to do what Fang Xin and let the other party go easy on him.

Thank you!

Xiao Ran clasped his hands in a fist salute, then hurriedly climbed the mountain.

He was unwilling to give up this opportunity easily; although the ranking might be inflated, the rewards were real.
