Chapter 175: Chapter 175 Sect Master Sword Intent

"Genius, at last, our Ten Thousand Sword Sect has produced a once-in-a-century genius in the Sword Dao!"

Elder Yang was watching over Sword Testing Forest from outside, and when he saw Shangguan Bei execute one after another of the Mysterious Sword Forms, his face flushed with excitement and his fists clenched tightly.

At this moment, in the forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, there is a sword-shaped rock jutting out diagonally from a cliff stretching ten thousand feet.

It resembles a giant stone sword protruding horizontally.

The closer one is to the tip of the sword, the narrower it becomes, much like a single-log bridge, causing anyone who wishes to stand on it to feel utterly terrified.

A slight misstep leading to a fall down the ten thousand foot cliff, or the rock itself breaking, would be enough to shatter one’s body into pieces.

This cliff is known as Sword Enlightenment Cliff, where the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect secludes himself for cultivation.

One could see a middle-aged man in hemp clothes, sitting sternly at the very tip of the sword-shaped rock, the narrowest and most fragile spot, immobile as an ancient statue, his hands forming a Sword technique.

This man is truly fearless.

Just at the moment Chu Feng obtained the Qiankun Sword Technique, the middle-aged man sitting on Sword Enlightenment Cliff abruptly opened his eyes.

His face was a mixture of shock and ecstasy.

"Haha, such profound and unfathomable Sword Intent fluctuations, coming from Sword Testing Forest. It is even more advanced than the Ten Thousand Sword Technique I have comprehended."

"If I, the Sect Master, am not mistaken, it seems someone has inherited the supreme Swordsmanship left by our first Sect Master inside the Sword Testing Forest. It’s been nearly a thousand years since anyone in our Ten Thousand Sword Sect has received this legacy!"

The man in hemp clothes is none other than Pu Li, the current Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

The Ten Thousand Sword Technique he practices is one of the supreme Sword techniques of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. However, it still cannot compare with the Qiankun Sword Technique left by the first Sect Master.

Over the years, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect has been on a decline, and additionally, external enemies are exceedingly powerful.

To say we are plagued both internally and externally, the situation is dire.

Sect Master Pu Li, having secluded himself at Sword Enlightenment Cliff for many years, aims to comprehend deeper realms of the Ten Thousand Sword Technique to enhance his own strength and revitalize the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

A tall tree catches the wind!

The Ten Thousand Sword Sect has been holding the position of the top sect in the Northern Territory for years, and this has already provoked discontent among other sects.

While they still dare not openly confront the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, undercurrents are already surging, and crises are emerging.

If the Ten Thousand Sword Sect cannot become stronger quickly, it is very likely to be pushed from the top position and might even be jointly annihilated by its enemies.

Following his ecstasy, Pu Li quickly calmed his spirit, muttering to himself, "Calculating the time, it should be the day our sect recruits new members. Moreover, those profound and extreme Sword Intent fluctuations emanated from Sword Testing Forest; our sect must have recruited an exceptional, extraordinary genius in the Sword Dao."

"I am at the crucial moment of my seclusion, inconvenient to leave. I can only issue a decree and have several Sect Elders handle it for me."

"Such a genius requires careful protection and priorities in cultivation. Once he matures, he is sure to revitalize our Ten Thousand Sword Sect and may even reestablish the unparalleled prestige that our sect once exclusively controlled Dan State."

Pu Li took a small sword from his sleeve, inscribed a few lines on it, and flicked it out.

Swish!

The small sword transformed into a streak of sword light and disappeared in the blink of an eye, flying out like a bird from the forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

The Flying Sword Technique executed by Pu Li, carried out effortlessly, was awe-inspiring. It also indicated that his cultivation had reached a terrifyingly formidable level.

...

Inside the Elder Hall of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, several figures in purple robes, who are Sect Elders, were meditating with their eyes closed.

To become a Sect Elder, one must possess the cultivation of a Sword Saint.

This is also the most top-notch power of the entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

Swoosh!

Thud!

A small sword flew in, piercing into the wall of the Elder Hall.

"The Sect Master’s Sword Intent!"

Several Elders looked towards the small sword at the same time, and one somewhat plump elder with white beard and eyebrows walked to the wall and took the small sword down.

"During the Sect Master’s secluded cultivation, he suddenly sensed a profound Sword Intent emitting from the Sword Testing Forest. There must be a supreme genius emerging among our sect, the Elders must pay close attention and prioritize their cultivation and protection."

The elder with white beard and eyebrows, known as Elder Shoumei.

After reading the Sect Master’s intent on the small sword, his expression became serious and solemn, with a touch of excitement.

"To capture such attention from the Sect Master, the supreme genius this time may have perceived a Sword Technique even more profound than the Ten Thousand Sword Technique!"

The other Elders also showed joyful expressions.

"The Ten Thousand Sword Technique is one of our Sect’s Sect Suppressing Sword Techniques, anything more advanced than it...could it be the mythical Qiankun Sword Technique?"

"If it is indeed so, the revitalization of our Ten Thousand Sword Sect is just around the corner!"

All Elders were exceptionally excited and appeared very pleased. They immediately flew out of the Elder Hall and headed to the Sword Testing Forest to investigate.

As soon as Elder Shoumei landed, he saw Elder Yang with a face full of joy.

He immediately flew over and said with a smile, "Elder Yang must have already discovered that supreme genius! Look, the Sect Master’s Sword Intent has just arrived!" Saying this, he showed the small sword to Elder Yang.

"Haha, just as I expected, Shangguan Bei is indeed a supreme genius," Elder Yang laughed heartily after looking at it.

He then said to the few Elders who had rushed over, "Look, not only has Shangguan Bei entered the Yin Yang Sword Area, he has also grasped a profound Sword Technique. This time, the supreme genius of our Ten Thousand Sword Sect must undoubtedly be him."

The other Elders, after deploying their Divine Thought to check, nodded in approval one after another.

"Good, good, for a new disciple to enter the Reverse Sword Zone is already considered excellent. As for that Yin Yang Sword Area, even long-time disciples of our sect would not dare to enter recklessly."

"This Shangguan Bei, already well-known in the Dan State North Territory, is said to possess Seven-star Sword Veins, making him the optimal sword body for cultivating the Seven Killings Sword Dao. He is simply born for battle. It is indeed a fortunate event that our Ten Thousand Sword Sect could recruit him into our sect this time!"

The several Elders chatted and laughed pleasantly, giving high attention to Shangguan Bei.

As for the real supreme genius, Chu Feng, who had inherited the Qiankun Sword Skill, he was treated as if he were air by them.

A person who couldn’t even make it into the Reverse Sword Zone, and even in the Sword Region only dared to hide under the rocks as a coward, was simply a specimen of a waste. No wonder the Elders all treated Chu Feng as air.

...

After nearly three days of elimination, the number of geniuses left in the Sword Testing Forest was not many anymore.

At most only about a hundred people remained.

The Second Prince, with his own considerable strength, together with numerous allies, successfully grabbed quite a few red flags.

The Yin Yang Sword Area was too terrifying to enter; the Second Prince had already led people to scour the Sword Region and Reverse Sword Zone thoroughly. He even robbed many geniuses, and his number of red flags had reached thirty-one.

With so many red flags, making it into the top ten was definitely not a problem.

"It’s also time to go slaughter that Chu surname kid! Otherwise, if he escapes the Sword Testing Forest, killing him later would require more effort!" The Second Prince quickly led a few subordinates towards the giant rock where Chu Feng was hiding and swept towards it.
