Chapter 1264: Sword Peak
After Xiao Lin took Bai Xingge out of the valley, he sent Li Ke away. Of course, before he left, Xiao Lin not only gave him a lot of spirit stones, but also gave him several ownerless magic weapons and a superior cultivation technique.
Li Ke was naturally overjoyed and grateful. After thanking him profusely, he reluctantly left.
After Li Ke left, Xiao Lin took Bai Xingge and turned into a long rainbow, shot into the void, and after flashing a few times, disappeared between the clouds and the sky.
......
Xianjian Shenzong, Beitian Shattered Realm, one of the ten major sects of the human race, is also the controller of the sword domain, with extremely strong strength. The inner sect elder of Xianjian Shenzong is rumored to be a top-level cultivator at the peak of the tribulation realm, only one step away from the Mahayana period.
Moreover, there are as many as three cultivators in the tribulation period in the entire Xianjian Shenzong, which can be said to be the first major force of the human race.
The Immortal Sword Sect has millions of disciples, more than 80% of whom are outer disciples, and there are nearly one million inner disciples who have condensed the sword intent.
After hearing this number, Xiao Lin was also quite surprised. Condensing the sword intent is a sign of entry for a sword cultivator, but this step is very difficult and requires extremely high comprehension, and sometimes some opportunities to achieve it.
The Immortal Sword Sect, relying on the power of a sect, has gathered millions of sword cultivators, which is amazing.
This also shows that the Immortal Sword Sect must have its unique features.
The Immortal Sword Sect is located in the core of Jianyuan Mountain. More than a dozen Chongxiao Sword Peaks rise from the ground, covering at least ten thousand miles in radius. It is also ten thousand miles away from the nearest fairy city.
So it is difficult for ordinary people to come here.
Every three years, the Immortal Sword Sect will start the assessment of recruiting disciples at the Sword Holding Peak. As long as you pass the assessment, you can join the Immortal Sword Sect.
There are two types of assessments, namely the outer gate and the inner gate.
If you pass the outer sect assessment, you can join the outer sect and become an outer sect disciple of the Xianjian Divine Sect, and enter the outer sword nine peaks for cultivation. If you can pass the inner sect assessment, you can join the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple of the Xianjian Divine Sect, and then enter the inner sword nine peaks for cultivation.
The outer and inner seem to be only one word apart, but they are worlds apart in status.
The outer sect is like the Xianjian Divine Sect's talent pool, gathering a large number of outstanding human beings in the entire sword domain, and teaching the Xianjian Divine Sect's entry-level swordsmanship. As long as you can condense the sword intent within a limited time, you can participate in the sect's assessment, and pass it to join the inner sect and become an inner sect disciple.
The inner sect is the core of the Xianjian Divine Sect. Only by condensing the sword intent can you join the inner sect and be taught the Xianjian Divine Sect's main basic swordsmanship. Moreover, as the realm is improved, the sect will continue to grant subsequent skills to ensure that the inner sect disciples can continue to improve.
Xiao Lin had learned from Li Ke that many of the outer disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect would choose to enter the Twelve Sword Tombs to comprehend the sword intent. If they succeeded, they could successfully join the inner sect.
The purpose of Xiao Lin's trip was to join the Immortal Sword Sect with Bai Xingge.
The main reason why Xiao Lin wanted to join the Immortal Sword Sect was to find a way to enter the [Scripture Pavilion] within the sect and read the sword classics to achieve the goal of mastering them.
After practicing the Realm Killing Sword Art and realizing the Dao in the Shocking Waterfall and comprehending the Momentum Art, Xiao Lin gradually discovered that as his sword realm improved, he became more and more awed by the mysteries of the sword.
The avenue is vast and endless. The so-called three thousand avenues all lead to the immortal path, and each avenue is all-encompassing and vast.
Xiao Lin had no idea where the end would end, but he had a feeling that there seemed to be a more powerful force above the power of rules, and whether it was the sword or the body cultivation, the ultimate destination might be the supreme source of power.
With his understanding of the Realm Killing Sword Art, Xiao Lin felt more and more powerless. He had only cultivated to the fourth word of the Nine Realms of the Sword Art, and it was so difficult. How could he advance to the fifth, sixth, or even higher realms?
So after careful consideration, Xiao Lin made up his mind to join the Immortal Sword Divine Sect with Bai Xingge to seek higher principles of the sword.
Of course, Xiao Lin also understood that even if he joined the Immortal Sword Divine Sect, he would not be able to pass on the sect's sword art, but his purpose was not here. In terms of art, the Realm Killing Sword Art he practiced and the Nine Palaces Heavenly Mind Sword Art practiced by Bai Xingge would not be much worse than the Xiantian Zhen Gang Sword Art, the sect's art of the Immortal Sword Divine Sect.
What he wanted more was the all-encompassing sword experience in the [Scripture Pavilion], which included not only low-level cultivators, but also high-level and even top-level cultivators. These were what Xiao Lin wanted most.
In addition, Xiao Lin's other purpose was Bai Xingge. Although Bai Xingge had condensed the sword intent, he had lost his memory and practiced on his own, which still had many uncertainties. He wanted to stay with him for a while until he was sure that his practice was on the right track, and then let go.
Xiao Lin brought Bai Xingge and landed in a deep forest. It was about a hundred miles away from the assessment site for the inner disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect. And along the way, Xiao Lin had already found many low-level cultivators flying towards the front along the forest.
Obviously, these people are here to participate in the assessment of the inner disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect.
Most of these people are in the Qi Refining Stage, and a few are in the Foundation Building Stage. However, Xiao Lin also found that a few have advanced to the early stage of the Golden Core Stage, which surprised Xiao Lin. It seems that some cultivators are really very persistent in order to join the Immortal Sword Sect.
This made Xiao Lin recall that when he was on the path to immortality, he accidentally got a book of Dry Water Sutra given by Fu Feiran, who was playing in the human world, in the Qingshui Lake Mine. By chance, he embarked on the path to immortality.
These people are so similar to himself back then, all of them are looking for immortal fate and going further on the path to immortality.
Soon, Xiao Lin brought Bai Xingge to the destination of this trip, [Wenjian Peak].
Wenjian Peak is the gateway to the Immortal Sword Sect. At first glance from a distance, it is like two sharp swords, piercing the sky, guarding the entire inner and outer eighteen peaks.
On the mountainside of these two peaks, there is a floating bridge that is not only natural but also artificial. On one side of the floating bridge, the four characters [Xianjian Shenzong] are written in ancient seal script.
On the two sword-asking peaks, there is a couplet written.
The immortal sword is buried in the ancient spiritual mountain; the Shenzong spans the world.
Seeing this couplet and feeling the ambition expressed in it, Xiao Lin couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
The human race has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, but now it is living in a corner of the northern sky, struggling to survive, and even suffering from the oppression of the small tribes Tianmu tribe and Multi-arm tribe. It can be said to be extremely miserable.
The main reason is that the human race now does not even have a Mahayana cultivator, and several peak cultivators who have crossed the tribulation have not been able to go further.
If the human race wants to restore its former glory, it must give birth to a Mahayana cultivator to lead the tribe and gradually restore its former glory.
The man who wrote the couplet was obviously a powerful cultivator who cared about his people. But did he foresee the miserable situation of the human race now?
Xiao Lin used the magical space to suppress his own realm to the ninth level of Qi Refining. With his current realm of Bu Tian Jing, after using the magical space, Xiao Lin believed that no one could see his true realm as long as the three tribulation ancestors of Xianjian Shenzong did not personally check.
There was no need to worry about Bai Xingge on the side. He had lost his mana originally, and there was only the condensed Nine Palace Sword Intent in his sea of consciousness. In terms of cultivation, he was not even as good as Xiao Lin.
But it would be wrong to measure Bai Xingge by this. The sword intent was originally illusory, but once it was successfully condensed, it could be turned into a murderous weapon. A true sword master did not need mana to support killing. The sword intent said that the soul would fly away. This is the terrible thing about the true sword cultivator.
"Are these two brothers also here to participate in the inner sect assessment of the Xianjian Sect?"
There were more and more people on the road. At this time, a man and a woman came up and said to Xiao Lin.
This man and woman looked to be around 20 years old. The man had dark skin and a tall stature. He was half a head taller than Xiao Lin. He had a kind and honest face. It was obvious that he was not good at playing tricks.
The woman was wearing a yellow-green robe with delicate features. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she had a pure charm. Her hair was tied behind her, almost hanging down to her waist.
"Yes, you two are also here to participate in the inner sect assessment, right?" Xiao Lin saw at a glance that the dark-faced man was actually a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, while the woman was only at the state of great perfection of Qi refining.
The dark-faced man was embarrassed when he heard this. He shook his head and said with a smile, "I came here to accompany my sister. To be honest, I have been practicing for more than 20 years, but I still cannot condense the sword intent. On the contrary, my sister accidentally succeeded in condensing the sword intent, so I came to try my luck."
"I see." Xiao Lin responded with a smile. The man was also straightforward, which made Xiao Lin feel a little good about him.
The woman had a trace of sadness on her pretty face, and her eyes were also misty. She looked at the dark-faced man from time to time, looking reluctant.
"My name is Luffy, this is my sister Lu Caier, what are your names?"
"My name is Xiao Shi, this..."
"Bai Xingge." Before Xiao Lin introduced, Bai Xingge on the side gave his name by himself, and looked at Xiao Lin with some surprise. It was obviously a bit strange that Xiao Lin did not use his real name, but named Xiao Shi.
"It's Brother Xiao, Brother Bai." Luffy bowed.
Xiao Lin and Bai Xingge both bowed in return.
"Hey, you said that the Xianjian Sect is so powerful. Every time they start a trial and recruit inner disciples, they not only need to condense the sword spirit, but also need to examine the spiritual root qualifications and one of the seven arts of magic, weapon, body, witch, elixir, talisman, and poison. It's really difficult, but there is no way. The Xianjian Sect is too large, and even the inner disciples are divided into different levels. Anyone who can join the inner sect of the Xianjian Sect and become a core disciple is a dragon among men. As long as there is no accident, I heard that the probability of condensing the Nascent Soul in the future is as high as more than 90%."
The four of them went to the Sword Questioning Peak together. Luffy didn't stop talking all the way.
Lu Caier, who was beside him, looked at her brother reluctantly and rolled her eyes, obviously helpless about her brother's personality.
Xiao Lin also knew what Luffy said. Xianjian Sect was the first sect in the entire Sword Domain, and it was also the controller of the Sword Domain. Therefore, every time the sect recruited disciples, it would attract a large number of family cultivators and independent cultivators to participate.
You should know that the size of each of the four human domains is far greater than the ancient wilderness where Xiao Lin was in the past. Although the human race is weak, the number is still very amazing. There are many sects of all sizes.
As for the number of immortal cultivation families that have been passed down for ten thousand years or even longer, it is also countless, which gives Xianjian Shenzong a lot of room for choice.
Anyone who can worship Xianjian Shenzong is a genius of immortal cultivation selected from hundreds of thousands of millions.
And those who can enter the inner gate and become core disciples are even rarer.
From this, we can know that the quality of the disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect is absolutely first-class. It is no wonder that the Immortal Sword Sect has stood for countless thousands of years and has always dominated Jianyuan Mountain.
There are three trial items for the Immortal Sword Sect to select inner disciples. The first one focuses on the sword aptitude, that is, it is necessary to condense the sword intent, and the sword intent is divided into nine realms according to the quality: Bailian, Qiantiao, Huaxing, Zhenling, Qianhuan, Wanbian, Yunshen, Shenjian, and Guiyi.
These are the nine realms of sword intent divided by the Xiuxian world according to the strength and form of sword intent.
In fact, sword intent is only one realm in the sword realm. Of course, Xiao Lin’s so-called nine realms of sword are based on the realm division of sword in the Jiesha Sword Art, which are Shi, He, Qiu, Po, Qi, Annihilation, Domain, Realm, and Shang.
In the Mortal Realm, the realm of the sword is divided into eight realms, namely, Qi Sword, Spirit Sword, Will Sword, Evil Sword, Gang Evil, Power Sword, Unity, and Domain Sword; among them, the condensed sword intention corresponds to the realm of the sword intention.
For sword cultivators, the strength of the sword intention is directly related to how far they can go on the road of sword cultivation in the future, so sword cultivation divides the sword intention into nine small realms.
After practicing the Realm Killing Sword Art, Xiao Lin gradually realized through his understanding of the Nine-Character Art that the so-called Nine-Character Art of the Sword Art does not conflict with the eight realms of the sword art.
In the Mortal Realm, due to the limitations of the realm, the understanding of the sword art of sword cultivators is also limited.
The so-called eight realms of the sword art are not all created by the sword cultivators of the Mortal Realm, and they also integrate some realm divisions of the Spirit Realm. However, for the Realm Killing Sword Art, Xiao Lin has always suspected that it is not a sword art of the Mortal Realm or the Spirit Realm.
Xiao Lin has now cultivated to the breaking character formula, but his power is obviously comparable to the power sword in the eight realms of swordsmanship, which is the so-called extreme sword three realms, which is also the realm that Bai Xingge and Bai Chongzun reached in the past.
Once he comprehends the qi character formula, I am afraid that the power of swordsmanship will reach the unity realm among the eight realms. However, what is the connection between the nine characters in the realm killing sword formula and the eight realms of swordsmanship he knows, and what is the real division of swordsmanship? What is the ultimate realm of swordsmanship? This is one of the answers that Xiao Lin wants to seek when he wants to join the Immortal Sword Divine Sect.
