Eldest Senior Brother Joins the Peak? Fellow Disciples Cross Swords

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised, and quickly replied:

"Senior Brother."

"Just say the word!"

Chen Changqing had a great deal of admiration for his senior brother, Jian Zhenzi.

He wondered if Jian Zhenzi had come to him because he needed something.

If that's the case, he'll definitely help out no matter what.

Jian Zhenzi didn't rush to speak, but stared straight at Chen Changqing.

After a moment of stunned silence, he took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, and finally spoke:

"Junior Brother."

"I've risen up now because... because I want to join your Evergreen Peak!"

As soon as Jian Zhenzi uttered those words, Chen Changqing froze, unable to stop himself from exclaiming in shock:

"What?"

At the same time, Liu Mu, Ran Hua, and the others present were also shocked by Jian Zhenzi's words.

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Jian Zhenzi stared intently at Chen Changqing and said:

"How?"

"Junior brother, are you not welcoming me, your senior brother, to join you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing quickly snapped out of his daze, pursed his lips, and said:

"Senior Brother, please don't misunderstand."

"I... I just didn't expect that!"

"If Senior Brother is willing to join Evergreen Peak, it would be my honor as Junior Brother, and I would certainly welcome him with open arms."

Not far away, Liu Mu and the others were deeply shocked upon hearing this.

It should be noted that before Jian Zhenzi, the Second Holy Son Luo Futian and the Tenth Holy Son Ji Changkong had already chosen to join Evergreen Peak.

If Jian Zhenzi were to join Evergreen Peak as well.

Including Chen Changqing, the main Holy Son, Evergreen Peak has a total of four Holy Sons.

Such a thing had never happened before.

Just as everyone was taking a surprise, Jian Zhenzi smiled slightly and said:

"Junior Brother."

"Thinking back to back then, your cultivation level was far inferior to mine."

"How long has it been? You've already reached the Late Spirit Transformation, while I, your senior brother, have only just entered the Spirit Transformation Early Stage!"

As he said this, Jian Zhenzi was filled with sighs and emotions.

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:

Why should Senior Brother care about such things?

"The path of the sword you've chosen is one of unwavering progress; don't let these trivial matters tarnish your sword spirit!"

After hearing what Chen Changqing said, Jian Zhenzi couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Ha ha!"

As he laughed, his gaze sharpened, and he looked at Chen Changqing with surging fighting spirit, saying:

"Junior Brother, before you join Evergreen Peak, I have a favor to ask."

"Then I'll have another sparring match with you, Junior Brother!"

"In the Holy Son Grand Competition, I was defeated by Luo Futian and was unable to fight you."

"Now, I want to experience for myself just how big the gap is between me and the current First Holy Son?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was slightly taken aback.

Upon seeing the genuine light of seeking the Dao in Jian Zhenzi's eyes, he immediately understood and nodded with satisfaction:

"Good."

"To be able to debate swordsmanship with my senior brother again is the greatest honor I could ask for!"

Before this, Chen Changqing had sparred with Jian Zhenzi.

However, at that time, Chen Changqing's cultivation was still very weak, and Jian Zhenzi suppressed his own cultivation to have a match with him.

In the end, he was no match for Chen Changqing.

Seeing that Chen Changqing had agreed, Jian Zhenzi was overjoyed. In a flash, he flew towards the void of Evergreen Peak.

Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing lightly touched the ground with his feet and immediately took to the air, confronting Jian Zhenzi in mid-air.

Seeing this, Liu Mu and the others stared intently, their eyes gleaming.

For them, seeing Jian Zhenzi spar with a prodigy like Chen Changqing was a good thing; perhaps they could learn something from it.

Meanwhile, the other disciples of Evergreen Peak also gathered around after seeing the two take off.

"That's... Senior Brother Jian Zhenzi?"

"How did he manage to stand in such a tense standoff with the Holy Son Changqing?"

"Looks like we're going to have a friendly sparring match!"

"Now we're in for a treat!"

"..."

The disciples of Evergreen Peak were discussing it.

It was obvious that the sparring between Chen Changqing and Jian Zhenzi was not a life-or-death struggle, after all, the two were fellow disciples.

Previously, during the Holy Son Grand Competition, Jian Zhenzi was defeated by Luo Futian. Chen Changqing then told Jian Zhenzi to rest assured that he would never allow the position of the First Holy Son to fall into Luo Futian's hands.

At the same time, Luo Futian also noticed this situation.

"Um?"

"Jian Zhenzi wants to compete against the Holy Son?"

"He can't even beat me, how could he possibly be a match for the Holy Son?"

Luo Futian muttered to himself.

He certainly didn't think highly of Jian Zhenzi.

After all, he had fought with Chen Changqing before and knew how formidable Chen Changqing was.

Not far from Luo Futian's residence, Ji Changkong slowly walked out of the house and looked up at Chen Changqing and Jian Zhenzi, who were floating in the void.

"That Jian Zhenzi is truly overestimating himself!"

"How could he possibly be a match for Chen Changqing?"

Ji Changkong said quietly.

Luo Futian genuinely became a disciple of Evergreen Peak, but Ji Changkong's situation was different.

Don't be fooled by how sincere he sounded to Chen Changqing earlier.

But in reality, his joining Evergreen Peak was for another purpose.

That was because he wanted to get close to Chen Changqing and figure out why Chen Changqing's cultivation level had improved so quickly even though he didn't cultivate all day.

In Ji Changkong's view, Chen Changqing must be hiding some secrets.

If he could do that, wouldn't his future cultivation advancement be twice as effective with half the effort?

Meanwhile, in the void above Evergreen Peak, Jian Zhenzi held his breath, staring intently at Chen Changqing.

"Zheng!"

The next moment, a clear and melodious sword cry resounded.

Upon closer inspection, Jian Zhenzi now held a longsword—none other than the Immortal Artifacts Ganjiang Moye and Mo Xie.

"Junior brother, draw your sword!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing smiled faintly, and with a thought, he directly summoned the Immortal Artifact Heavenly Thunder Sword!

"Senior Brother, to ensure fairness, I will suppress my strength to the Spirit Transformation Early Stage."

Chen Changqing held the Heavenly Thunder Sword horizontally in one hand and said this.

"Good."

Jian Zhenzi responded cheerfully; this scene gave him a sense of déjà vu.

However, at that time, it was he who was cultivating, not Chen Changqing.

Now, Chen Changqing's actions have settled things amicably with what happened before.

"Junior brother, take this!"

After exchanging glances, Jian Zhenzi didn't hesitate. He swung his Ganjiang Moye swords and launched an attack on Chen Changqing.

"Boom!"

"Call out!"

The sword was drawn, its Sword Light splitting and shifting like yin and yang, resembling a cascading galaxy, aimed directly at Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing saw this and remained calm, not using the Ten Forms of Sword Annihilation or the Immortal Execution Sword Technique, but instead using the Rainbow Sword Technique.

"Rainbow Piercing Sun!"

Suddenly, the Heavenly Thunder Sword in his hand shot out in a straight line.

"Boom..."

With a single sword strike, boundless Sword Qi surged forth, vast and mighty, like a long rainbow meeting the sword force attacking Jian Zhenzi!

"Bang!"

In no time, their sword energies collided in mid-air, instantly creating a dazzling display of colors.
