The Western Peak Sword Debate Begins
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Chen followed the group from the Sword Dao Academy and flew towards the Summit of Western Peak.
A moment later, the group arrived at the Summit of Western Peak.
The peaks of Western Peak Mountain were filled with people, Sword Dao Academy was one of the Great Sage.
Naturally, it has its own place Summit of Western Peak.
The dean and others stood in an open space. There were no cultivators from other forces around, as if this place belonged to their Sword Dao Academy.
Not long after everyone landed, cultivators from the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, Sword Pool Ancient Temple, Blood Sword Sect, Nether Sword Sect, Supreme Purity Sword Sect, Emotionless Sword Sect, Great Yan Sword Sect, Ethereal Sword Sect, and Sword Imperial Dynasty also arrived one after another.
In an instant, the entire Summit of Western Peak became bustling with activity.
Young cultivators from Great Sage are usually high and mighty, especially those who can participate in the Western Peak Sword Debate. They are all the pride of their Great Sage, and they put on an arrogant attitude as soon as they land.
On the contrary, the bigwigs of the Great Sage greeted each other with smiles.
"Old Meng, besides Tang Xuan, what other powerful figures does your Sword Dao Academy have this time?"
An elderly man with a sage-like air stroked his beard and asked.
The dean of the Sword Dao Academy laughed, "Old Xuan Dao, don't even think about trying to find out the strength or weakness of my Sword Dao Academy. You should be more concerned about whether your Supreme Purity Sword Sect can snatch a spot from the nine Sword Masters to enter the Sword Emperor's Cliff's Cliff. I remember that in the last Sexagenary Battle, your Supreme Purity Sword Sect didn't have a single disciple enter the Sword Emperor's Cliff."
Xuandaozi, puffing out his beard and glaring, said, "You old man Meng, how dare you reopen my wounds! This time, my Supreme Purity Sword Sect will surely become famous throughout the Western Mountains, so that you Great Sage can witness the might of my Taiqing prodigies!"
"Yo."
Academy Head Meng continued sarcastically, "I thought your Supreme Purity Sword Sect was going to suppress Mysterious Heaven with your swords this time, but this is all?"
"Snort!"
Xuandaozi snorted coldly and didn't continue arguing with Academy Head Meng.
Elder Withered Sword and the others smirked as they watched this scene.
Xiao Chen didn't know what kind of grudge these two Saint had, but he wasn't curious and didn't ask any further questions.
The minor incident did not affect the progress of the Western Peak Sword Debate.
Noon.
An imposing old man, carrying a long sword on his back, flew into the sky.
The old man merely glanced around the Summit of Western Peak, and the once noisy mountain fell silent instantly. Even a powerful figure like Academy Head Meng felt a hint of apprehension in his eyes the instant he looked at the old man.
"Esteemed Tyrant Sword, according to the rules of the Western Peak Sword Debate, my Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect won first place last time, and this time, the Western Peak Sword Debate will once again be hosted by my Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect..."
As his name suggests, Tyrant Sword power. Although he did not deliberately release his aura, every word he uttered exuded an incomparable domineering aura.
A moment later, the Overlord Sword Dao, "I hereby declare the Western Peak Sword Debate to begin!!!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire Summit of Western Peak erupted in excitement.
The disciples of the various Half-Saint factions were all eager to try and ready to make their move at any moment.
For these prodigies from the Half-Saint factions, their participation in the Western Peak Sword Debate was not for entering the Sword Emperor's Cliff, but rather to showcase themselves so that they could be accepted into a sacred place.
Although there have been instances of disciples from Half-Saint factions breaking into the top ten in the Western Peak Sword Debate.
However, those events only occurred once every few years, or even once every ten thousand years.
The Western Peak Sword Debate is not only a stage for the most outstanding talents in the Great Sage talents.
Soon, sword cultivators from the Half-Saint faction began to appear.
The Western Peak Sword Debate did not have an arena; the cultivators who came to participate in the tournament fought each other in mid-air around the mountain peak.
The cultivators who can participate in the sword competition are at least Dao Integration cultivators, so even if they are knocked down from this height of ten thousand feet, they will not be harmed.
Xiao Chen watched quietly as the disciples of the various Half-Saint factions fought.
After several rounds of duels, Tang Xuan asked, "Senior Brother Xiao, among these disciples from the Half-Saint factions who have appeared, are there any who have caught your eye?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Their understanding of Sword Intent is acceptable, but in terms of temperament, they are far inferior to Aye. In my opinion, for a sword cultivator to succeed, they not only need extraordinary comprehension, but also a tenacious Jian Xin. Their Jian Xin are not worth mentioning in my opinion."
Tang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I have learned a great deal. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."
In the blink of an eye, the day's sword competition came to an end, with nearly a hundred cultivators from the Half-Saint faction appearing one after another to compete.
But in the end, only a handful of people were chosen as disciples by the important figures of the Holy Land.
The sword competition continued the following day, with disciples from the Half-Saint factions participating again. By evening, none of the Half-Saint factions had sent any more disciples to participate in the competition.
A thought involuntarily arose in the minds of all the cultivators present: the real show is about to begin.
At dawn, the first rays of the rising sun bathed the Summit of Western Peak in a golden glow, turning the entire mountaintop a golden hue.
At this moment, all the forces had already taken up positions on the mountaintops. Compared to the previous two days, the disciples of the Great Sage all had relaxed and carefree expressions on their faces.
Today, every disciple carried a chilling aura, their eyes filled with fighting spirit as they looked at the surrounding cultivators.
The Tyrant Sword reappeared, his gaze quickly landing on Xuandaozi: "Xuan Dao, according to the rules, your Supreme Purity Sword Sect disciples should challenge first."
"Um."
Xuandaozi responded with a very strange expression, while the disciples behind him looked eager to make their appearance.
Seeing this, Liu Yue'er couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior Brother Tang, isn't anyone allowed to go on stage for the Western Peak Sword Debate? Why is the Supreme Purity Sword Sect willing to be the first to appear?"
In a sword duel, whoever steps onto the stage first is at a disadvantage, unless one side has the ability to overpower the others.
Tang Xuan smiled and said, "That's because the Supreme Purity Sword Sect came in last in the last Sexagenary Battle, so we can only let them suffer some losses. I wonder which force the Supreme Purity Sword Sect will challenge?"
"Could it be our Sword Dao Academy?"
Liu Yue'er murmured unconsciously.
Tang Xuan said with a smile, "Our Sword Dao Academy ranks among the top three in the Sword Continent. No one in the Supreme Purity Sword Sect with a brain would dare to challenge us."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sword cultivator dressed in pristine white, resembling Banished Immortal, stepped out from the Supreme Purity Sword Sect and addressed the Sword Dao Academy: "I am Yuan Ke Taiqing. Tang Xuan of the Sword Dao Academy, do you dare to challenge me?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuan's smile vanished instantly. He never expected to be proven wrong so quickly.
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of!"
Tang Xuan snorted coldly, then took a step forward and stepped into the air.
Watching his departing figure, Liu Yue'er murmured, "Senior Brother Tang won't blame me, will he?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Tang will only vent his anger on that Yuan Ke."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yue'er was about to inquire about Yuan Ke's background when Elder Withered Sword stroked his beard and muttered, "Strange, why have I never heard of Yuan Ke?"
