As these big shots from the Clear Void Sword Sect appeared, everyone in the Subduing Dragon Mountain Range was stunned, hardly able to believe their eyes!
To them, the Clear Void Sword Sect's sect master and senior elders were lofty experts beyond the mortal world, people they would never be qualified to meet in their lifetimes!
Yet now they had all appeared together!
Terrifying fluctuations of cultivation spread from their bodies, blanketing the entire Subduing Dragon Mountain Range!
Never mind the young people here-even Su Lingyun and Tao Yaoyao, who came from a holy land, felt tremendous pressure!
"If I'm not mistaken, the Clear Void Sword Sect's master has reached at least the Body Integration Realm!"
Su Lingyun's expression was utterly grave.
He was the master of a sect, after all. How could he possibly be weak?
The Clear Void Sword Sect was also one of the stronger sects in the Falling Moon Region, so it was perfectly normal for its master to possess Body Integration Realm cultivation.
There were six senior figures like the Clear Void Sect Master!
In other words, the six people the Clear Void Sword Sect had sent were all at least in the Body Integration Realm!
"Things have really blown up now. That young man developed a supreme sword bone. Who knows whether he can hold on to it?"
Tao Yaoyao had also lost her earlier lively spirit, becoming much more cautious instead.
If she did not have her status as a disciple of the Falling Moon Holy Land and had to face so many powerful experts alone, he would not even know what to do!
"Perhaps he has his own way of dealing with it?"
Su Lingyun spoke softly.
Recalling how Ye Chen had vaporized a Nascent Soul Realm expert with a single glance earlier, she still felt lingering fear.
At that moment, that young man looked calm, as though he had yet to realize how serious the situation was!
The Clear Void Sect Master spotted Su Jian, whose entire body radiated powerful Sword Qi, at a glance. His eyes immediately lit up. He truly lived up to his supreme sword physique.
He had not even formally begun cultivating the sword, yet he was already as sharp as a treasured blade!
Wouldn't taking him in as a disciple be a tremendous windfall?
"Young man, I am the master of the Clear Void Sword Sect. Having learned of your extraordinary talent in the sword, I have come expressly to take you as my disciple. Come with your master!"
The Clear Void Sect Master spoke with a smile.
When he revealed his identity, everyone erupted in an uproar, their expressions changing!
It really was the Clear Void Sect Master!
Hearing him admit it with his own mouth delivered an entirely different impact.
Everyone stared wide-eyed. The Clear Void Sect Master! This was a supreme big shot they dreamed of taking as their master.
If such a big shot took a liking to them and accepted them as a disciple, their lives would be glorious enough!
Everyone looked at Su Jian with boundless envy, their burning gazes practically wishing they could kill him and take his place.
If it had been them, they would have accepted the Clear Void Sect Master's offer long ago!
Yet Su Jian appeared extremely calm, as though he had not heard the Clear Void Sect Master at all.
In fact, in his eyes, the Clear Void Sect Master's personal attempt to recruit him had become utterly laughable!
If I were still a one-star piece of trash, would a big shot like the Clear Void Sect Master come in person to take me as his disciple?
To put it plainly, didn't these people only set their sights on me because Master helped me awaken my supreme sword bone first?
Everyone was waiting for Su Jian's response.
The Clear Void Sword Sect had sent so many senior figures. Wasn't that sincere enough?
The Clear Void Sect Master also frowned in displeasure. Anyone faced with such a lineup would have been excited enough to faint.
After all, his personally leading a group here to recruit a disciple was an honor in itself for these young people!
Su Jian had no reason whatsoever to turn them down!
Just as the Clear Void Sect Master grew somewhat impatient and prepared to continue recruiting him, several powerful presences appeared on the other side of the sky.
When they drew close enough for everyone to make out their clothing, the crowd was stunned.
Weren't those the robes of the Vast Righteousness Pavilion?
"They're from the Vast Righteousness Pavilion! Could their leader be the pavilion master too? If a big shot like that is personally leading them as well, that's far too frightening!"
"They really are from the Vast Righteousness Pavilion. From the looks of it, they must be senior figures too! Otherwise, how could they compete with the Clear Void Sword Sect for him?"
"Damn, everyone showing up today is a big shot! At least we've had a feast for the eyes!"
Everyone discussed it in amazement, their eyes all fixed on the people from the Vast Righteousness Pavilion.
"Hmph! You people from the Vast Righteousness Pavilion, what are you doing here? Does this have anything to do with you?"
The Clear Void Sect Master sneered in displeasure.
A supreme sword bone should naturally belong to a sect specializing in sword cultivation. The Vast Righteousness Pavilion did not specialize in the sword.
Why were they joining in the commotion?
The Vast Righteousness Pavilion Master laughed heartily. "No one can turn down someone with a supreme sword bone. Besides, your Clear Void Sword Sect isn't the only place where people can cultivate the sword, is it?"
"Then let's each rely on our own abilities to win him over!" The Clear Void Sect Master could not be bothered to waste words with him.
However, the Vast Righteousness Pavilion was only one of the competitors.
Big shots from sects such as the Treasure-Gathering Heavenly Sect, the Return to Origin Sect, the Shadow Moon Sect, and the Heavenly Gang Dao Sect arrived afterward.
Dozens of figures radiating powerful presences hovered high in the sky, blanketing the entire Subduing Dragon Mountain Range.
The mere fluctuations of cultivation leaking from them were already enough to leave these low-realm youngsters struggling to breathe.
Even an expert in the Void Refinement Realm like Su Lingyun felt immense pressure.
After all, with dozens of Body Integration Realm experts hovering overhead, who could withstand it?
No one could believe that so many big shots had appeared at once just to fight over one person!
Everyone was practically dying of envy toward Su Jian. If they could receive such treatment, their lives would have been worth it!
Damn it, they really wished they were Su Jian. Being able to pick whichever of these sects they pleased was thrilling just to think about!
"Young man, our Treasure-Gathering Heavenly Sect will give you fifty thousand Spirit Stones a year. You won't need to worry about all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures either. Come to us. You won't lose out!"
The wealthy and extravagant Treasure-Gathering Heavenly Sect Master began his recruitment pitch.
To the Treasure-Gathering Heavenly Sect, there was nothing a pile of Spirit Stones could not solve. If there was, they would multiply it many times over!
"What the hell is the use of just having Spirit Stones? Come to our Return to Origin Sect. We can train you into an Immortal Emperor!"
The Return to Origin Sect's master also made a grandiose claim.
However, the people from the Heavenly Gang Dao Sect immediately burst out laughing. "Your Return to Origin Sect doesn't even have an Immortal Emperor, yet you claim you can train someone else into one? Do you believe that yourselves? Why not come to our Heavenly Gang Dao Sect instead? Our foundations are the deepest! The cultivation method we practice is even a fragment of an Emperor Grade method!"
Although they called it an Emperor Grade fragment, it was actually a relatively complete Emperor Grade cultivation method, with only some of the latter half missing.
Even an incomplete Emperor Grade cultivation method was a rare, supreme treasure!
The most profound cultivation methods of the other sects were only Immortal Grade. No matter what, they could not compare to an Emperor Grade fragment!
For a time, these sects all named their offers, hoping to tempt Su Jian.
The offers rose higher and higher, already reaching a level that would drive people mad!
Never mind the inexperienced youngsters here-even Su Lingyun, who came from the Falling Moon Holy Land, was tempted.
One had to admire them. They really were pouring in their lifeblood to recruit the supreme sword bone!
The various treasures they promised alone were enough to nurture a heaven's favored talent such as a holy land's Holy Son or Holy Maiden.
However, Su Jian had not spoken from beginning to end, because he had not had a chance to speak.
Finally, the Clear Void Sect Master gave a displeased snort and said, "Young man, I'll say just one thing. When it comes to nurturing sword cultivators, our Clear Void Sword Sect is the most professional. Now, tell us your choice!"
