Chapter 370: The Sword of True Wisdom

  After the commotion of the night, the remaining disciples who took to the stage seemed like different people altogether. Many life-saving and desperate moves continuously appeared on the arena.

  There are countless medicine masters in the sect, and in the back hall, there is also that master who can revive the dead and turn a living person into white bones. Even if they exhaust themselves to death, as long as they don't die on the spot, it won't take much time before they can continue fighting again.

  However, this is a bit bitter for the kings who are responsible for maintaining the stability of the entire virtual sky platform. Although it's a bit hard, being able to see that their juniors have such strength is also worth it. Only by exerting all one's strength can one surpass oneself time and again, reaching an even stronger level!

  So this time's hard work will only bring good and no harm.

  At this point, the kings' gaze towards Yue Xingyan was also filled with admiration.

  The master is indeed the master, I didn't expect to be able to anticipate such a thing happening earlier...

  Due to Cang Ye's unexpected performance and all the disciples' frantic actions, the competition that was originally expected to produce results in just half a day had not even completed one-fourth by sunset. This arrangement was made to avoid early clashes between the strongest contenders, according to the sect elder's thinking, those relatively ordinary disciples who encountered the strongest or near-strongest disciples should easily lose the match.

  But under the provocation of Cang Ye's battle intent, those people actually performed exceptionally. Even the situation where the strongest disciple was overturned appeared!

  It's just that the nine young generations who came to liven up the atmosphere, when it was their turn to compete, no longer had a casual attitude like at the beginning. Their unexpected strength also made the initial competition equivalent to the preliminary round full of various highlights...

  "Brother Cang, I didn't expect you to stir up such a commotion, it's made the whole competition much more lively!"

  Just as he was quietly watching the game under the dark night, a voice suddenly sounded from his ear. Turning back, it turned out to be his senior fellow apprentice Sun Hao who had disappeared for a long time!

  "Big Brother Master, how is it you!"

  Looking at Cang Ye's excited smile, Sun Hao smiled lightly. No matter how things change, Cang Ye is still that sentimental and righteous little junior brother!

  "The mountain has also stabilized in recent years, and I followed many senior brothers to a special place in the sect for training. I believe it won't be long before you, little junior brother, will go there too."

  Sun Hao is only over a hundred years old and belongs to the second generation of disciples. Among all the second-generation disciples, his cultivation as a mid-tier master is second only to those three people. After all, he was still a disciple cultivated by Xuan Mu Peak during its heyday. However, the higher one's cultivation, the more difficult it becomes for Master Sun to cultivate, and he doesn't have the potential to become a Saint King. As for his future achievements, it really depends on himself...

  If with the help of the sect's secret treasure, one can really pass the last trial and become the Supreme King, then according to this senior brother's talent, there is no higher goal to be expected!

  "Oh? What kind of place is that, where one has to cultivate to a very high level before being able to go there?" Cang Ye noticed that when Sun Hao mentioned the place, he used the term "fellow disciples" instead of "disciple brothers". This was quite intriguing. To be considered his fellow disciple, one would have to be at least a cultivator with over 150 years of experience. Such a warrior, who could stand alongside Sun Hao, would likely be at least a Sect Master in terms of cultivation."

  "There is an order from the sect, as for where it is, you'll have to wait for the seniors to tell you. However, your cultivation is already sufficient, brother disciple. It won't be long before we brothers can fight together there. But at that time, I'll still have to trouble you to take care of me a bit!"

  When it came to the last sentence, Sun Hao had a sigh of relief. The growth of Cang Ye was what he had been watching.

  That junior who had just entered the Mystic Realm back then, even the Earth Spiritual Master hadn't reached his level, in a short span of ten years, he has already become an existence that even I have to look up to! He's indeed the unparalleled genius who received the title of Sect Master from Tian Lingzong!

  "Master brother, you're laughing, and in the future, I'll still have to trouble Master brother to take care of me!" When it comes to acknowledging others, he can come up with a response without hesitation, even when facing those who are not directly related to him. However, when it comes to this master brother who is like an older brother or father to him, Cang Ye feels that he still remains a young boy who has never grown up.

  Hehe smiled and didn't say anything else, but sat down beside Cang Ye.

  "Senior brother, when is it your turn?"

  Almost all disciples of Qingxia Sect who had reached the Master Realm participated in this grand competition, and Sun Hao, who was already a mid-tier Spiritual Sect strongman, had no reason not to participate.

  "It'll be here soon. Master brother isn't like you, daring to confront all the disciples alone." Listening to Sun Hao's teasing, Cang Ye smiled shyly. Such a feat was just his impulsive behavior. In the previous battle, he had already clearly positioned his own strength, and since his strength was already sufficient, why should he still remain low-key?

  Sun Hao spoke very quickly, indeed extremely fast. He hadn't even finished a few sentences with Cang Ye when his name was already called out.

  "Senior brother must win!"

  At the moment when Sun Hao left, Cang Ye sent his blessings. In fact, all the matches were basically arranged long ago. In the match between 256 and 128, there were few collisions between disciples of similar strength. I guess the master who arranged Lei Yan Tian to collide with Cang Ye also didn't know Cang Ye's name!

  As expected, Sun Hao's opponent was also a Zong Shi, but only at the initial stage. The gap between the initial and middle stages, although not as obvious as that between the major stages, is still significant due to the level of cultivation, and cannot be easily bridged even for a Ling Shi realm cultivator.

  On the stage, the two men had been fighting for over a hundred rounds before Sun Hao finally used a decisive move to slowly bring down the curtain. Unlike previous matches, this trial was filled with quiet peace, although intense clashes did occur, but they were all within the range that everyone could control. If it were someone else, they might think that this was due to both sides holding back, but in Cang Ye's eyes, it was full of surprise.

  It's not surprising that the battle is calm, nor is it surprising that this initial master can withstand Sun Hao for so long. Cang Ye's surprise comes entirely from this senior brother!

  After being with him for so long, he only knew that Sun Hao's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Zong Shi, but the cultivation of a middle-stage Zong Shi didn't necessarily mean that his combat power was only at the middle stage! Just like Cang Ye, even if he didn't use those powerful buffs, he could still hold his own against high-stage Zong Shis, and even ordinary scattered cultivators at the peak of the Ling stage could put up a fight. And yet, Sun Hao's cultivation was only at the peak of the Ling main!

  In the previous match, others didn't notice it, but he did. It wasn't that the opponent wanted to lose so quietly, but Sun Hao's control was really terrifying!

  That's right, it's control! The whole game was under the control of this senior brother! The opponent had no power to resist under Sun Hao's rhythm, even if they wanted to fight desperately, they didn't have any chance. From this, we can see that Sun Hao's true strength is absolutely on the same level as Cang Ye, and it cannot be measured by cultivation alone!

  "Brother is indeed formidable!" Looking at Cang Ye's meaningful gaze, Sun Hao knew that nothing had been hidden from this talented junior brother. In fact, he hadn't planned to hide anything either. With a light smile, without saying anything, he sat down beside Cang Ye and watched the match below together.

  "Little brother, one of your main opponents is about to take the stage. You'd better pay close attention to them and ask your senior brother what he means."

  Hearing Sun Hao's words, Cang Ye was slightly stunned, main opponent?

  Upon reflection, I realized who he was talking about. The clash of momentum, combined with that icy pale sword that could freeze the world, among all 134 generations and 123 batches of disciples, only those four had the qualifications to be considered his opponents!

  Looking at the figure in the arena who rose into the air with the cheers of thousands, it was one of the four warriors with peak auras from back then. In an instant, Cang Ye knew who it was based on his memories of the four people's descriptions.

  Leng Yuefeng's second disciple, once a peerless warrior who shocked the world with one sword strike, the youngest One Sword Path Inner Disciple in Qingxia Sect history - Juexuanyuehen!

  Although his back was turned to him, Cang Ye could clearly feel a majestic sword intent rising into the sky, making himself tremble. However, the direction of the attack did not suppress his opponent, but instead suddenly rushed towards Cang Ye's location!

  Since ancient times, the sword has been the king's weapon, the saint's weapon, the emperor's weapon, and even the divine spirit's weapon! As for knives, they have always been relegated to second place, existing only after swords.

  At this moment, Yuehen represents the embodiment of the thousand knives! And Cangye is a symbol of the eternal sword's ultimate way. The two of them are destined to have a fateful duel even without the stage of a grand competition. This isn't because of grudges or reputation, it can only be said that it's fate! In this world, two warriors who symbolize the strongest existence of swords and knives were born, and their appearance, their encounter, and their confrontation will inevitably lead to a final showdown to determine which is stronger, leaving behind a glorious milestone for sword and knife warriors!

  Unconsciously, he had already stood up, with a vigorous sword intent piercing the clouds, entwining with that chaotic knife aura...

  Watching this scene, Cold Wind let out a soft sigh.

  He stroked the hilt of the Qingfeng long sword in his hand. A look of loss floated on his face, but it only lasted for a very short time. When he lifted his head again, that expression had disappeared...

  In the end, his arch-nemesis was never himself!

  The collision of the knife and sword. Originally, that sword had always thought it was its own. But it didn't think that he had long known, he was a knife, while itself wasn't a sword...

  No one noticed the smile of relief that fell onto the rooftop. That smile, as if it had been waiting for a long time...

  "Brother Moon, farewell!"

  With a slight nod, he released his own aura, and the opponent with the crescent moon mark had already filled the entire arena with his aura in just one breath. All that was left was to formally begin, and then give his always-supreme brother an unforgettable attack!

  That junior brother of the peak master can do it, although he can't keep up, but he can't fall too far behind!

  His fighting spirit is burning fiercely, his morale is high. He has never been like this before, with an unstoppable momentum against all opponents!

  "This junior brother of mine, I can feel your will to fight, but unfortunately, you are a sword, whereas I am a knife!"

  For the first time, Yue Hen formally stood up. Previously, he was always gentle and courteous, whether facing ordinary disciples or the other three existences, but this formal expression was clearly beyond everyone's expectations. As for what he said afterwards, it was actually overlooked by many people due to Yue Hen's current performance...

  Tsukihime's opponent was also somewhat unaccustomed to his current appearance, and even after the match began, he still hadn't come back to his senses. By the time he reacted, Tsukihime still hadn't launched an attack. Taking a light breath, he concentrated all his energy into the Divine Sword in his hand, unleashing the strongest blow of his entire history!

  He understood that, against this famous senior brother of his, he only had one chance to attack. The reason why he didn't send him out of the arena when he was stunned just now was probably also an opportunity given by this senior brother!
