Chapter 113: The Sword Astonishes Qingxia (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)
On the battlefield, the disciples' conversation, these kings naturally all heard, but suddenly hearing that half-step spiritual cultivation, still scared these almost emotionless Supremes a big jump.
A twenty-year-old half-step Grandmaster, at this speed. Won't he become an Emperor before the age of fifty?! A fifty-year-old Emperor! What a heaven-defying existence that would be! Indeed, this child is worthy of being a great hero of the Qingxia Sect!
On the battlefield, sixty-four disciples of Qingxia Sect stood tall. Although they couldn't represent all the young disciples of Qingxia Sect, they could represent the strongest fighting force among the younger generation!
The grouping was quickly produced. Cang Ye was arranged to be the first to appear on stage. In fact, doing so was also what everyone wanted - to see his strength as soon as possible! After all, a 20-year-old peak Spiritual Master was rare throughout history!
The other disciples quickly left the place, and on the platform, only Cang Ye and his opponent were left - Tian Mang Yi's unparalleled genius in swordsmanship, Jian Wei Zhen!
"Junior Brother Cang, since I heard about your situation, I've been yearning for this battle. Although I clearly know that my current self has already fallen far behind you, yet I've never given up on the idea of a showdown! In order to shorten the distance between us, I haven't stopped training for even a moment over these four years. Finally, in the twenty-ninth year, I entered the Spirit Master realm... originally thinking that the gap between us had gradually narrowed, but today, upon seeing you..."
Listening to Jian Wudi's words on the stage, almost all the Qingxia disciples had a sense of sadness. Originally, his talent could suppress the current generation, and he was even considered a rare genius who appeared only once in a thousand years. Unfortunately, he encountered the strongest person since ancient times. When a thousand years met with eternity, everything became clear. Being in the same era as Cang Ye was the pride of all warriors, but also their sorrow.
"Today, I hope Brother Cang will take out his true strength and have a good fight! I know that perhaps the current me is not even worth you using your actual strength, but I still want to lose with dignity. Please give me this opportunity, Brother Cang, so I can have a satisfying battle!"
Without saying much more, Cang Ye lightly nodded his head. This was a sign of respect for a persistent martial artist.
"A thought stirs and clouds rise, half a lifetime of drunken sleep, today I wake from wine!"
Mournfully sighing, Xian's true form as a divine weapon appeared, and it was an unadorned sword blade.
A heavy sword has no edge, a sword has no blade. This is a person who dedicates his heart to the way of the sword!
With the appearance of the Wu Hua long sword, Cang Ye felt a special sharpness.
The sword, it's a feeling that only arises when facing the sword, slowly rising from the depths of Cang Ye's heart. It turns out that this senior brother in front of him had actually touched the realm of the sword! The sword is him, he has become one with the sword!
"The sword is coming..."
A faint sound, and the world changes greatly! Originally a clear sky with no clouds in sight, but now dark clouds gather. A massive gust of wind that seems capable of destroying a mountain range comes pouring down from the heavens. The cloud layer is blown away by this fierce gale, leaving countless people feeling an intense pressure emanating from the depths of their hearts, slowly beginning to surface.
Is this the current strength of Cang Ye?
Everyone was stunned by this scene. They really couldn't imagine that there would be such a spiritual master, who could stir up the wind and clouds with his momentum and suppress thousands of people!
Immediately afterwards, a scene that countless people dared not believe appeared on that empty battlefield!
Sword, endless sword!
In this world, suddenly, countless varieties of swords appeared out of nowhere! All sorts of them exist, beyond everyone's imagination. This world actually still has so many types of swords!
If the strongest state of Jian Wei Zhen gives people a simple and unadorned feeling, then at this time, Cang Ye gives people an extremely gorgeous and beautiful illusion!
"The Fifth Form of the Wheel Turning Sword Technique: The Sword of Non-Action!"
What is non-action? It means doing nothing and yet leaving nothing undone! All things are swords, all things turn into swords!
Four years of closed cultivation, it's not just the "Hong Meng Zhuan Lun Jing" that has made a breakthrough, but also the "Lun Hui Qing Jian Jue" has further reached the point where it can display the fifth sword!
However, Cang Ye also understood that before understanding the truth of cause and effect, no matter how great the progress in cultivation was, he would not be able to wield the sixth sword. The first five swords were swords with a path, while the last four swords were the true beginning of annihilation!
"One sword, Sword Master Brother, let's settle this with one sword!"
Looking at the sword that filled the sky, Jian Wuti trembled with fear. No one understood the true meaning of the sword better than him, and no one could feel the terror of this night more deeply. However, the more he felt the terror, the more he wanted to surpass it. As long as he could survive this sword strike today, he would definitely take another step forward! Moreover, would Cangye let him die? So, now Cang Shi Di was helping him temper his sword!
"Great kindness and virtue, unforgettable even in old age!"
There is no need for any nonsense between men, especially two swordsmen who have already grasped the true meaning of the way of the sword!
"Heavenly Sword, Boundless!" With a loud shout, Jian Wucheng, who had been suppressed to the extreme by Cang Ye's aura, suddenly seemed like a different person. At this moment, the heavenly trend that Cang Ye had manipulated turned into an endless source of sword power for him!
Tianjian, it's actually Tianjian! Known as the strongest sword path outside of the divine way, one sword can break through the sky! Cangye didn't expect that his own senior brother was cultivating one of the most powerful ancient sword paths passed down, the Supreme Heavenly Sword!
With heaven as sword, all things must submit, when the heavenly sword is unsheathed, apart from me and heaven, there will be no other objects!
This is the Heavenly Sword, this is the unrivaled sword path that rivals heaven and earth!
Looking at this condensed heaven and earth energy transformed into his own power in one sword, even the peak spiritual master Cang Ye slightly frowned.
This sword is very powerful!
"The Sword of Inaction."
The sound fell, and a part of the swords in the sky gathered in front of Cang Ye, transforming into a giant long sword! Not long after, this giant sword, which merged hundreds of various long swords, faced the heavenly sword transformed by Jian Wei Zhen!
In an instant, two divine swords that surpassed all swordsmen's imagination collided at the summit of Qingxia Mountain...
On this vast and empty battlefield, the collision of the two swords produced a ripple effect, like countless pebbles falling onto the water's surface, layer upon layer of ripples spreading out. Outside the battlefield, countless dust particles flew about in all directions, causing almost everyone to be covered in a layer of ash.
The white stone slab on the Void Battle Stage was completely destroyed, as the stage made of endless extremely cold stones was hit by countless sword auras and shockwaves generated from the collision, blasting out innumerable holes with diameters of several feet and depths of several meters on the ground. In some places, the ground was even directly penetrated!
A large amount of white mist rose, rendering the entire stage a vast expanse of whiteness. Only when the mist dispersed did everyone see the scene on the stage clearly. All the disciples below the stage had their mouths agape, while the other sixty-two disciples, although mostly calm and collected, also revealed shocked expressions.
At this moment, what appeared before their eyes was a nearly completely shattered Void War Platform! This war platform had always been used for young disciples to test each other, and no one had ever been able to destroy it like this! Looking at Sword Only Truth, who spat out fresh blood, disheveled and covered in wounds, yet with a grateful expression on his face. Everyone already knew the outcome.
When the dust had completely dissipated, and they saw the scene before them, almost all of the warriors were stunned. Under such a shocking collision, this demonic genius's junior brother hadn't suffered even the slightest injury!
That green shirt from four years ago still doesn't have a speck of dust on it, nor is it stained with any dirt.
This is the style of the first young generation!
Strong, really too strong! Jian Wei Zhen's one sword, almost all the disciples present, hardly anyone can confidently take it. But this young master, only in his early twenties, seems to be completely unbothered! Such strength, I'm afraid even among the 134th generation of disciples, he would still stand out as a small mountain among many!
After the initial shock, everyone was overjoyed. Before long, this junior brother would surely give those arrogant and condescending first- and second-generation senior brothers a good lesson!
"The first round, Cang Ye wins!"
A king who had never been seen before by Cang Ye announced lightly.
Upon hearing the result, Cang Ye didn't have a single proud expression, it wasn't that he was pretending, but rather his state of mind had reached a certain level.
Towards the direction of the sword, he slightly bowed his head.
"Brother Jian is a great talent, in the future, the Heavenly Sword will surely reappear in glory!"
These words are not just a perfunctory remark, nor were they spoken to comfort. This is an inner voice that comes from the depths of the night. The Heavenly Sword is indeed worthy of being the supreme sword second only to the Divine Path, with the power of the heavens as its blade, it's terrifying!
Having gained Cang Ye's recognition, Jian Wei Zhen finally couldn't hold on any longer and slowly fell to the ground. Only after their exchange did he come to realize that in this entire world, probably no one else besides his current junior brother could have such a profound understanding of the sword path! Not even those who had cultivated the sword path to its peak! Although it was just his feeling, Jian Wei Zhen firmly believed in this point. Therefore, even if his body couldn't hold on any longer, he still wanted to force himself to hold on! All for the sake of gaining recognition from this person who could be called a true master of the sword path!
At last, after hearing Cang Ye's words, his will relaxed and he fell deeply into a coma...
The master of the Tianmang lineage, Wang Zhe's high-level cultivation suddenly appeared on the stage, gently lifting up Jian Weizhen who was lying on the ground, and said to Cang Ye.
"This time I received more of your valuable teachings, young master. I think that after I truly awaken, I will be able to make even greater progress! This emotional debt, I have taken note of it for him!"
He slightly nodded his head, towards his elders, Cang Ye didn't dare to be even a bit arrogant.
Treading on thin air, step by step, he walked down onto that dilapidated and crumbling virtual battlefield.
Looking at the chaotic and fragmented battlefield behind Cang Ye, gazing up at the turbulent sky above, countless rays of sunlight scattered around Cang Ye's body. A feeling as if a deity had descended into the world, suddenly appeared in everyone's heart.
"Perhaps, Junior Brother Cang was a divine being reincarnated!"
It was unclear who softly spoke a sentence, but it seemed to have gained everyone's recognition. Such genius, such existence, shouldn't belong to this mortal world!
Under the gaze of countless people, Cang Ye calmly returned to his seat. Five years ago, when he first walked off the stage in front of everyone, what he got was endless boos and ridicule. But now, he walked off the glorious virtual battlefield with everyone's admiration and shock!
Strength, in this world, only strength can gain everyone's recognition and respect!
The following matches can be said to be calm and peaceful, almost all the disciples with high cultivation have smoothly entered the top 32.
However, there were a few exceptions, such as Lian Wu Wei and Feng Yan. As peak Tianling Masters, they managed to defeat their opponents who were one rank higher than them through arduous battles, and finally made it into the list of 32 people. However, making it into the list was just that - making it into the list. The subsequent matches would probably be impossible for them to participate in. In order to defeat their respective opponents, these two had also used up all their trump cards, and by the end, although they had defeated their opponents, they themselves were also injured to the point of being unable to continue participating in the following matches.
