Saber-Nurturing Technique
"Xu Fan?"
"Is it the one who defeated Chen Cuo, the seventh True Disciple?"
Xia Luanyin's gaze fell on the name shining on the stone tablet, indicating that she had not yet been defeated and withdrawn.
Having personally experienced the eleventh level, and being a powerful first-generation Weapon Lord, he was well aware of the difficulties involved.
Since entering the tenth floor, I have had to undergo State of Mind tests every moment, while also fighting against the illusory figure of the Weapon Lord.
So she only lasted a few breaths on the eleventh floor before being defeated and teleported out.
"Xu Fan actually became a disciple of the Saber-Nurturing Valley?"
Lu Yuanqing narrowed his eyes, feeling quite surprised.
As a direct descendant of the Lu Clan Immortal Clan, he was naturally well-informed and knew the backgrounds and achievements of most of the geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Xu Fan not only killed Han Tianling, who was a newly True Disciple, but also defeated Chen Cuo. Normally, he wouldn't choose to join the Saber-Nurturing Valley.
But they still came.
And without any attempt to conceal it.
"I remember, Xu Fan had tokens from several major Celestial Person Sects, didn't he?"
"Why bother coming to the Saber-Nurturing Valley?"
Wei Zhongliu was equally puzzled.
With those tokens, Xu Fan could directly become inner disciple, and unlike in the Saber-Nurturing Valley, he wouldn't be met with hostility.
Originally, the Hong Lineage could have obtained considerable resources by having three True Disciple: Fu Yuanwu, Chen Cuo, and Han Tianling.
Although Han Tianling may not be able to secure the position of True Disciple, he is a rare genius and well worth nurturing.
Now only Fu Yuanwu and Chen Cuo remain as True Disciple, which is not bad, but not as good as before.
It's better than the Huang Lineage.
Just as he was about to ask Xia Luanyin about the situation on the eleventh floor, his expression suddenly changed, his gaze fixed on the name on the stone tablet, and he exclaimed in shock.
"Twelve floors?!"
On the stone tablet.
Xu Fan's name suddenly disappeared from the eleventh floor.
Instead, glowing names appeared on the twelfth floor!
Throughout the millennia, only eleven exceptional geniuses from Saber-Nurturing Valley have ever reached the twelfth level, including Xu Fan today!
Each and every one of them is a renowned and powerful figure of their time!
One in a millennium!
Xu Fan's name appeared at this moment, following Shentu Yun, the first True Disciple and second on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Outside the Fallen Star Pagoda, the crowd gasped in surprise, staring intently at the names on the stone tablet.
Buzz!
The Fallen Star Pagoda trembled, emitting invisible vibrations that spread in all directions!
"The twelfth floor..."
Xia Luanyin's red lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes revealing a look of shock.
As a native of the Wei Kingdom, from a Aristocratic Clan in the state, he clearly understood what this meant.
The Shentu Household was once just a powerful clan in a county under the jurisdiction of Yun Province, but now they are at the height of their power and their status is far above that of the Xia Household.
All of this is because Shentu Yun has reached the twelfth floor and even ranked first among the True Disciple!
It is said that the Great Wilderness Demon-Slaying Saber trembled slightly in the forbidden Saber-Nurturing Valley because of this.
A once-in-a-millennium genius, a future Land Immortal immortal, a leader of his era!
"They actually made it to the twelfth floor..."
Lu Yuanqing clenched his fists tightly beneath his sleeves.
Born into the Lu Clan Immortal Clan of the immortals, he was exceptionally gifted from a young age and never lacked resources.
I thought that after joining the Saber-Nurturing Valley, ranking first would not be difficult, and becoming True Disciple Candidate would be a matter of course.
Who would have thought that not only Xia Luanyin appeared, but also Xu Fan, who had reached the twelfth floor.
Resentful, he could only helplessly let go, a bitter smile on his face.
How could this era have changed so drastically in just a few years?
Just as the elders of my family said, under the great trend of the past millennium, heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river.
"With the current surge of fortune, all sorts of extraordinary individuals are emerging."
Wei Zhongliu shook his head with a wry smile.
As a royal family, they have numerous channels of information and know that many extraordinary individuals have emerged in various countries.
A new successor to the Celestial Person lineage has already been identified.
Even the Weapon Lord " has been expanded to include two new members.
The Hidden Dragon Ranking will likely undergo a dramatic transformation soon.
It will likely become increasingly difficult to climb the Hidden Dragon Ranking now.
Inside the Fallen Star Pagoda.
As the illusory image of the eleventh-level Weapon Lord was shattered, it was once again tempered by pure starlight, resulting in not only an improvement in its cultivation level but also a further increase in its Divine Sense.
It seems that it has already surpassed the level of Qi Refinement cultivators, and its Divine Sense is even stronger than that of the True Person disciple encountered in Land of Wu.
As the environment changes again.
Upon arriving at a new space, a curtain of light appeared.
"It's actually Saber-Nurturing Technique?"
Xu Fan looked at the secret technique formed by starlight in front of him and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the twelfth floor, I obtained the secret Saber-Nurturing Technique, a closely guarded secret of the Sword Saber-Nurturing Valley?
He immediately sat down cross-legged, and the [Taiji Dao Evolution Diagram] appeared deep in his eyes, recording the Saber-Nurturing Technique.
"You need to master the Saber-Nurturing Technique and condense a 'divine sword' within fifteen minutes before the illusory image of the Weapon Lord will appear on this level?"
After Xu Fan came into contact with the Saber-Nurturing Technique, he felt a sense of connection.
"Coincidentally, Master Xu possesses extraordinary wisdom!"
The [Taiji Dao Evolution Diagram] makes any technique or Divine Ability extremely easy to understand and practice; you can master it simply by following the steps!
Therefore, after calming down for a short time, a "small knife" appeared faintly above the True Essence Pill.
With a single thought, his essence, energy, and spirit flowed into the "small knife," gradually solidifying it until it transformed into a "divine knife" emitting a faint glow.
This "divine blade" is formless and intangible, yet it exudes an extreme sense of killing power and sharpness. As time goes by, its power seems to be slowly increasing.
"No wonder he's said to have honed his sword for three hundred years, enough to slay even celestial beings."
Xu Fan exclaimed in admiration.
Even though this terrifying secret technique requires time to develop and the cost of activating it is extremely high, even requiring the sacrifice of one's entire lifespan, it is still necessary to unleash its full power.
It is still an extremely powerful trump card.
Of course, he doesn't plan to use it here in the Divine Continent of the Vast Land.
But in that desolate place of Land of Wu, he could completely accept exchanging his life for another.
Last time, the red-clad swordsman relied on his mastery of True Person arts to protect him, forcing him to self-destruct. It's unclear whether he was injured.
With the Saber-Nurturing Technique, the outcome might be different.
As the "divine blade" was condensed in the Dantian using the Saber-Nurturing Technique, the phantom of the Weapon Lord reappeared within the twelfth level of the Fallen Star Pagoda.
He was a handsome, simply dressed middle-aged man with an aura like a divine sword yet to be drawn, and deep, penetrating eyes.
"Another one?"
"In this world, my path will flourish."
The previous phantoms of the Weapon Lord Weapon Lord like NPCs, acting entirely according to a program.
On the tenth and eleventh floors, a newfound spirituality appeared in their eyes.
Compared to the twelfth floor, it's far inferior, and it can't even speak.
Xu Fan greets you, senior.
Xu Fan stood up and bowed in greeting.
This is the first Weapon Lord from ten thousand years ago, a phantom left behind by Celestial Person; we must show him respect.
"Unfortunately, I can sense that the Great Wilderness Demon-Slaying Saber has already recognized its master. You've arrived a bit too late."
The illusory figure of the Weapon Lord sighed softly.
"This junior has no interest in Celestial Person Divine Weapon."
Xu Fan's expression shifted, showing some surprise.
Who would have thought that the Great Wilderness Demon-Slaying Saber would recognize a master—it's True Disciple of the Saber-Nurturing Valley?
However, I don't feel it's a pity.
Even if he obtains Celestial Person Divine Weapon, he will only use it as a weapon and will not cultivate the Dao of the first generation of Weapon Lord.
