The Cultivators He Encountered Were All Worthy of No Mention
Shen Xiu'an on the cloud, his body surrounded by Sword Qi energy.
Its sharp aura pierced through the clouds, even transforming into a sword domain that enveloped the surrounding area for hundreds of feet.
At this moment, he looked down at Chen Lingxi, and a sword light flashed and landed in front of Chen Lingxi.
Chen Lingxi seemed to be deep in thought, but he also stood up and stepped onto the sword light. In the next instant, the sword light soared up, like a red light descending from the horizon, rising thousands of feet high and hovering in the Void behind Shen Xiu'an.
At this moment, the Divine Deer's radiance still shone upon Chen Lingxi.
Chen Lingxi a brocade robe given to him by Yuan Lingyu that shimmered with dazzling light, which, combined with his already handsome appearance, gave him an even more extraordinary air.
Cheng Shuangtian and Lian Sheng, standing behind the suspended tower, both looked at Chen Lingxi with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
"Who is this?" Cheng Shuangtian raised an eyebrow slightly. "I've never heard of such a person on Deer-Sleeping Peak. Is he Brother Shen's newly accepted disciple?"
Lian Sheng's eyes flickered as he also stared at Chen Lingxi, his arrogance growing even stronger.
This was because Chen Lingxi's body was filled with Dao Origin, indicating that he was at the Dao Foundation Early Stage cultivation.
Both being at the Dao Foundation Early Stage, Lian Sheng ascended to the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking and ranked among the top on the One-Mystic Ranking. Among the early-stage Dragon-Offering Sect Dao Foundation Early Stage, there were no more than a handful who could surpass him.
He was familiar with all these people, but the young man on Deer-Sleeping Peak was clearly not among them.
Just then, Shen Xiu'an looked up and said, "This is my junior brother Spirit Bearer, Non-Self disciple."
Cheng Shuangtian raised an eyebrow slightly, but he had not heard that True Person Xiang Shu had taken on a new disciple.
Lian Sheng's expression finally turned solemn as he realized that the young man before him was none other than the Golden Grotto True Person.
He dared not be impolite, suppressing all arrogance in his eyes, and respectfully bowed. "Greetings, Uncle-Master Spirit Bearer."
Chen Lingxi remained calm, nodded slightly to Lian Sheng, and then bowed to Cheng Shuangtian.
Cheng Shuangtian thought for a moment, then returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute, before looking at Shen Xiu'an and saying, "No wonder Brother Shen is interested in the projection fortuitous opportunity of the Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection."
"So Brother Shen has a junior brother who is at the Dao Foundation Early Stage."
He suddenly shook his head as he finished speaking, "However... in my Dragon-Offering Sect, strength has always been the priority."
The True Person Xiang Shu Spirit Bearer Brother Zhi Ling as his disciple suggests that Junior Brother Spirit Bearer must be exceptionally talented.
However, I observe that Spirit Bearer Brother Spirit Bearer's Dao Origin is not particularly profound, presumably because he is too young.
"In the path of spiritual cultivation, age is also an advantage."
Lian Sheng is already twenty-four years old. He has a profound foundation and his Dao Origin is condensed. He has already entered the Immortal Ranking and is even about to cultivate his second great Divine Ability. He will then plant his second Profound Root and step into the Dao Foundation Middle Stage!
Brother Shen... this Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection is of utmost importance to my disciple. I humbly request your understanding."
At this Cheng Shuangtian raised his hand to Shen Xiu'an, and then decayed.
Suddenly, a thick aura of Dao Origin flowed from the Void, followed by the appearance of an array plate.
"This array is called the [Star-Pond Formation Disk]! It is modeled after the Star Pool of the Ancient Immortal Capital."
Having this array plate and using it for cultivation will greatly benefit one's Divine Ability and Dao Origin.
"I am willing to exchange this array plate for your request, Brother Shen, not to go to the location of that Suspended-Qi Projection."
Cheng Shuangtian was very polite and spoke sincerely.
Chen Lingxi silent.
Shen Xiu'an glanced at the Star-Pond Formation Disk, shook his head, and said, "I've also heard of this Star-Pond Formation Disk, but it's only a fourth-grade item. How can it be compared to the Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection?"
Upon hearing Shen Xiu'an's words, Cheng Shuangtian frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, and the array plate disappeared.
"Brother Shen! Even in my Dragon-Offering Sect, a fourth-grade treasure is already extremely precious to someone in the Dao Foundation Early Stage."
Moreover, as I just said, Dragon-Offering Sect has always spoken with strength.
When I met Spirit Bearer today, I realized that my disciple's cultivation in Dao Origin surpassed Spirit Bearer's by more than one level.
"If that's the case, then shouldn't this Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection have been obtained by Lian Sheng?"
"Hmm?" Shen Xiu'an frowned as well, his previously calm gaze suddenly turning sharp.
He stared at Cheng Shuangtian, his Sword Qi subtly shifting, transforming into waves that cleaved through the surrounding clouds.
"Brother Cheng, since you mentioned that my Dragon-Offering Sect has always spoken with strength."
There's no need for such lengthy explanations... Ultimately, the Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection is a contest between you and me...
As Shen Xiu'an said this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips, "If that's the case, why did you come to my Deer Cry Peak?"
"Let us go to the place where the fortuitous opportunity lies, fight it out, and use our strength to seize the Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection!"
Cheng Shuangtian's breath hitched.
Lian Sheng, standing behind him, also showed a slight change in expression.
Everyone in the Dragon-Offering Sect knows the name Shen Xiu'an.
On the Dragon-Transformation Four-Mystic Immortal Ranking, Shen Xiu'an's name ranked second, even surpassing many powerful figures from the main sect. Even the so-called "Suppressing the Nine Palaces" True Person Yu Jun was inferior to him, ranking third.
The only one who can defeat Shen Xiu'an is Young Master Dragon-Offering.
Cheng Shuangtian possessed unparalleled combat prowess and Divine Ability abilities, earning him a renowned reputation in the Nine-Towers Land. However, he paled in comparison to Shen Xiu'an.
Both being at the Fourth Profound of cultivation, perhaps neither of the two Cheng Shuangtian could contend with Shen Xiu'an's spiritual sword!
Now that Shen Xiu'an it clear that he is unwilling to give up the fortuitous opportunity to Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection, the chances of Crane-Clumsy Peak obtaining the fortuitous opportunity have been greatly reduced.
At this moment... Shen Xiu'an uttered these words, and bursts of Sword Qi emanated from his body, containing various Divine Ability fluctuations, exuding a terrifying aura.
Lian Sheng Dao Foundation Early Stage cultivator like Lian Sheng, facing such Sword Qi energy, found his surrounding Dao Origin weakened considerably.
Chen Lingxi watched all of this with some surprise in her heart.
"My cheap senior brother... seems quite concerned about me."
They even wanted to retrieve the Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection for me."
He pondered in his heart.
Upon hearing Shen Xiu'an's impolite words, Cheng Shuangtian felt a surge of anger.
He flicked his sleeve slightly and snorted coldly, "Since Brother Shen is unwilling to make an exception, I will not force him."
However, Brother Shen... there are two things you still need to know."
"Firstly, I have already asked Brother Chu Zhuo of Sword-Illuminating Mystic Peak for his help."
Brother Chu Zhuo is ranked fourth on the Four Profound Rankings. Even if he were to compete with you, he might not necessarily be at a disadvantage."
Secondly, Deer-Sleeping Peak has suffered several misfortunes and its power has gradually weakened.
It is the weakest of the seven inner peaks.
Brother Shen is unwilling to do others a favor; if there is fortuitous opportunity to fight in the future, I Crane-Clumsy Peak, will not hold back either!
"Our Dragon-Offering Sect has always encouraged the various inner peaks to compete with each other and hone their skills."
At that time... I hope Brother Shen will not blame me for not showing any consideration for our sect's relationship!
Laugh!
In an instant!
A burst of Sword Qi erupted from Shen Xiu'an's body.
Shen Xiu'an, dressed in white, stood atop a cloud, his originally calm face now showing a hint of coldness.
A black and white millstone had appeared behind him without his noticing.
The millstone, suspended in mid-air, occupies a radius of hundreds of feet and is constantly rotating!
Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this black and white millstone is actually constructed entirely of individual swords.
These swords hang in the Void, their tips forming a black and white ink disc, with sword light swirling within, becoming a terrifying testament.
"There are probably tens of thousands of swords."
Upon witnessing Shen Xiu'an's imposing swordsmanship, Chen Lingxi couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"But what kind of Divine Ability is this? It has such might."
Such Divine Ability and profound power can perhaps only be compared to that of a cultivator at the Dao Foundation Perfection Stage who wields the Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light.
Chen Lingxi had already comprehended the Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light, which was truly wondrous.
However, in terms of Divine Ability powers and abilities, how can they be compared to someone like Shen Xiu'an, who has Dao Foundation Perfection Stage?
Chen Lingxi was merely an observer.
Cheng Shuangtian and Lian Sheng were now facing Shen Xiu'an's mysterious and terrifying sword Divine Ability.
In an instant, the Dao Origin on Lian Sheng's body flickered like a candle flame in the wind, almost going out.
The pagoda behind Cheng Shuangtian shone brightly, but it was still no match for Shen Xiu'an's sword aura, and was suppressed within a radius of ten zhang.
"Brother Cheng...you are a cultivator of the Fourth Profound, yet you have experienced countless grand events."
"Is there no one to teach you... If your cultivation is insufficient, then don't utter threatening words in front of a strong person."
Shen Xiu'an whispered, "If I were to sever one of your Profound Root here, I wonder if you would still be able to go to that place of fortuitous opportunity and compete with me for fortuitous opportunity Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection?"
Cheng Shuangtian's expression immediately changed.
At that very moment.
Within the radiance of the Divine Deer, another star shone brightly.
At the same time, someone could be heard laughing loudly among the stars.
"Shen Xiu'an, everyone in the Nine Palaces says you are the most tyrannical and unreasonable sword cultivator, and they are absolutely right."
The voice was extremely young, loud and clear, and exuded a strong sense of confidence.
at the same time.
Void, darkness descended upon the void, obscuring the light.
Chen Lingxi couldn't help but look up, and then... she saw an astonishing scene.
But all they saw was a sword hanging upside down in the sky!
Chen Lingxi was surprised because the sword was simply too huge.
From Chen Lingxi's perspective, looking up from below, one could see that this precious sword was probably a thousand feet long, and from a distance, it looked like a mountain peak.
Such a huge sword was not an illusion, nor did it manifest itself.
Chen Lingxi could sense the sharp aura of steel and the constantly flashing sword light on the sword.
"This is truly a magnificent sword, a thousand feet long."
Chen Lingxi a deep breath, marveling at the sight, and then looked at the sword hilt.
But on the hilt of the sword, a person stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Deer-Sleeping Peak!
He exuded the same imposing aura, his Sword Qi energy soaring, and his killing intent palpable.
"Is this Chu Zhuo from Sword-Illuminating Mystic Peak?" Chen Lingxi wondered to herself.
As expected.
Upon seeing this person, Cheng Shuangtian's face immediately broke into a smile, and he raised his hand in greeting. "Brother Chu."
Chu Zhuo nodded slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on Shen Xiu'an.
Shen Xiu'an glanced at Chu Zhuo's thousand-foot-long giant sword and shook his head slightly.
"Unexpectedly, Chu Zhuo, who has always been indifferent to human relationships and has no manners whatsoever, would actually seek fortuitous opportunity for others."
"That's not the case." Chu Zhuo shook his head. "The reason I agreed to go and retrieve the Suspended-Qi Fruit Projection for Cheng Shuangtian was not because of Cheng Shuangtian's favor, nor was it to help others."
As he finished speaking, a radiance suddenly appeared on the young man's face.
"Brother Shen... we are both famous for our swordsmanship, but on the Dragon-Transformation Four Profound Rankings, you are a step above me."
That's precisely why I want to take this opportunity to see just how much better Brother Shen's swordsmanship is than mine!
As Chu Zhuo finished speaking, the thousand-foot-long sword suddenly shone brightly, like a radiant mountain. The sword light pierced the Void, parting the clouds, and the rolling Sword Qi competed with the brilliance of the three suns!
Upon hearing Chu Zhuo's words, Shen Xiu'an slightly raised his head.
Instead of continuing to circulate Sword Qi and unleash Divine Ability, he lightly flicked his finger.
The myriad black and white sword lights behind him vanished without a trace.
He stood there, bathed in the radiance of the Divine Deer and the sharpness of the thousand-foot-long sword, his face radiating confidence.
"My sword light is the best in this Nine-Towers Land, below even the Golden Grotto."
Whether it's Chu Zhuo, Jiao Shenyue of the Southern Heaven Domain, or even Qiu Ji, the Qiu Ji of the Calamity Sea, none of them can rival me.
Brother Chu, since you wish to test the sharpness of my sword's Divine Ability, I will await you at the place where the fortuitous opportunity lies.
Shen Xiu'an spoke these words calmly, his voice not loud, but the confidence in his eyes was as sharp as the light of his sword.
Chu Zhuo nodded slightly. "In that case, I hope to learn from you soon, fellow Daoist."
As he said this, the thousand-foot-long sword behind him suddenly transformed into a streak of light, bringing with it a storm, tearing through the clouds, and then soaring away like a thousand-foot-long ship.
Cheng Shuangtian narrowed his eyes slightly, bowed to Chu Zhuo, and then prepared to leave.
At that moment, Lian Sheng, who had remained silent, suddenly took a deep breath, first Shen Xiu'an, and then looked at Chen Lingxi was suspended in the clouds behind Shen Xiu'an.
"Uncle -Spirit Bearer, we are both at the First Profound Realm... In our Dragon-Offering Sect, we have always encouraged those at the same realm to learn from each other and verify each other's Divine Ability!"
But I wonder... if my martial uncle could offer Lian Sheng some guidance.
Shen Xiu'an frowned immediately.
This was because Lian Sheng did not use Divine Sense to transmit his words; instead, his words were mixed with Dao Origin, which resounded throughout Deer-Sleeping Peak.
For a moment, many disciples of Deer Cry Peak looked up at the clouds.
Even within the six palaces of Deer-Sleeping Peak, many gazes were fixed on the high heavens.
The six elders and hall masters, who were all at the Four-Mystic Realm like Shen Xiu'an, looked at this place with inquiring eyes.
Cheng Shuangtian, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Chen Lingxi.
Chen Lingxi's gaze also fell on Lian Sheng at this moment, and she saw the arrogance hidden in Lian Sheng's eyes...
"The Dragon-Offering Sect is a behemoth in the Nine-Towers Land, with countless talented cultivators practicing here."
"To be among the top in such a place, it's understandable that Lian Sheng is a bit arrogant."
Chen Lingxi his head and thought for a moment, sensing that many eyes were looking at him.
And what he saw in the Life-Concealing Violet Radiance... In those past memories, he had never made a move since he came to Deer-Sleeping Peak.
"Although we don't know what the true purpose of that Golden Grotto True Person is... it's just that in such a vast Xuanmen, the greater one's talent, the more cultivation resources one can obtain, and the more precious the fortuitous opportunity can seize."
"Moreover... since I came to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, all the cultivators I have encountered are like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, not worth mentioning."
So... just how strong is Lian Sheng, who's ranked on the Dragon-Transformation Immortal Ranking List?
As he thought of this, a fierce fighting spirit instantly filled his heart!
"Senior brother, don't get angry with Lian Sheng Crane-Clumsy Peak..." Yuan Lingyu's Divine Sense flowed over.
Shen Xiu'an looked at Lian Sheng and shook his head slightly, about to say something as well.
Just then, Chen Lingxi suddenly nodded.
"Alright."
