Chapter 172: Chapter 151: True Inheritor (Extra Chapter for monthly tickets!!)

"Choke!"

In hand, the Wind Snow Sword.

Fang Xing swung his sword, and immediately there was a thunderous boom in the void.

"Sword Qi and Thunder Sound, even more skilled now."

"If before it was just relying on Foundation Establishment cultivation to forcibly execute it, this time it’s a complete understanding...smooth and natural."

"Even though I’m a Qi Cultivator now, I can still use the technique of Sword Qi and Thunder Sound in actual combat. An ordinary early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator’s True Essence Shield simply cannot withstand the might of one of my swords!"

"No wonder these Heavenly Sword Sect disciples all like to climb mountains when they have nothing to do, tempering their own Sword Qi..."

Fang Xing let out a slight smile and took a step forward.

Boom!

He stood firmly on the two hundredth step, and within his Sea of Consciousness, it was as if a silhouette was dancing with a sword!

Sword Qi and Thunder Sound, as fierce as battling a bull!

"He...he’s an Outer Hall disciple, actually reaching two hundred steps!"

At the foot of the mountain, one of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples widened his eyes: "This...this is enough to enter the inner door!"

The previously kneeling mortal youth lifted his head, looking at Fang Xing’s retreating figure with full of envy.

"No...he...is still climbing!"

Many Heavenly Sword Sect disciples couldn’t help but stop what they were doing, gazing blankly at that young figure.

"We’re all disciples, if you can become a True Inheritor, then there’s no need to stay in the inner door..."

Fang Xing’s mouth held a smile, and he continued to climb, step by step.

"Although...the title of True Disciple...sounds quite unpleasant."

As he continued to ascend, he also felt the pressure.

Even though a top grade Metal Spirit Root’s talent was the perfect match for a sword cultivator, he was not a sword cultivator after all.

Now, it was completely due to great talent and high cultivation...brutally enduring!

Of course, withstanding it brought benefits.

As Fang Xing reached the three hundredth step, he suddenly felt a deeper understanding about the transformation of Sword Qi to Gang.

"To condense Sword Gang!"

"What a pity, I lack a good sword."

He looked at the Flying Sword in his hand, which actually let out a mournful cry.

...

Deep within Group Sword Peak, atop a towering and precipitous summit.

Kong Fengge, the Broken Sword True Person, had long, narrow eyes and lean cheeks, displaying a visage filled with distress.

According to mortal fortune tellers, he had the face of decline and misfortune, doomed to poverty and hardship, utterly mismatched with his reality as a Core Formation Late Stage cultivator, the overlord of Qi Country’s ruling sect.

Suddenly, inside the Sword Hall, a sword chant was heard.

A Flying Sword flew in from the window, landing in the hands of Broken Sword True Person, Kong Fengge.

"Oh? An Outer Hall disciple has climbed to two hundred steps of Sword Heart Peak?"

Broken Sword True Person was unfazed.

In his youth, he was a True Disciple, once unbeaten in a hundred duels, returning with his robe stained in red.

"And he is still climbing, already at three hundred and fifty steps?"

"Could it be that today, the Sect will have another True Inheritor?"

Broken Sword True Person frowned slightly: "Fang Xing...joined the Outer Hall just a few days ago?"

He flicked his finger, and a sword light flew out, transforming into a Flying Sword, and whistled away.

This was Heavenly Sword Sect’s ’Flying Sword Communication’.

Before long, Deacon Xue, carrying the Purple Jade Fishing Rod, entered the Sword Hall: "Greetings, Sect Master!"

"No need for formalities...today our Sect will gain another True Inheritor; you may observe the ceremony from the side."

Broken Sword True Person said with a slight smile.

"This individual has a clear background and has also passed the Heart Inquiry Talisman test...but to rise so quickly in just a few days, isn’t that a bit too high-profile?" Deacon Xue hesitated.

"Because it is high-profile, it’s not the work of hidden machinations."

Broken Sword True Person was unconcerned: "Moreover...with such qualifications and talent, no sect would want to hide him away as a secret piece, let’s take a step back, even if he was hidden, once he becomes a sword cultivator of our Sect, then so be it... If he can overcome my sword, what harm is there in letting him take over as Sect Master? Which other sect can offer him these terms?"

Deacon Xue fell silent at once.

Such was a Heavenly Sword Sect sword cultivator!

Domineering and confident!

...

Sword Heart Peak.

"There must be some Treasure at the top of the peak..."

Fang Xing reached the three hundred and ninety-ninth step, his steps somewhat shaky.

"Is this...Sword Intent? Although it’s just a sliver...a sword cultivator’s Sword Intent is indeed different from Martial Arts Will..."

Strictly speaking, a sword cultivator’s Sword Intent was already a Third Rank technique!

Even a trace was not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator could handle.

But Fang Xing was different!

His will was directly that of the true self.

Such a sliver of Sword Intent couldn’t blast him down from Sword Heart Peak.

"This step I take..."

Under the watchful eyes of many, Fang Xing let out a light laugh and stepped forward.

The four hundredth step lay beneath his feet!

"Disciple Gong Zhen pays respects to the True Disciple!"

At the foot of the mountain, that disciple immediately performed an ancient sword ritual.

Choke! Choke!

A chorus of sword cries rose, and at this moment, all the disciples on Sword Heart Peak released their sword chants, their sounds piercing through the skies: "Greet the True Disciple!"

’Sure enough...it still sounds awful.’

Fang Xing’s mouth twitched slightly as a purple aura came from the east and descended at the foot of the mountain, revealing Deacon Xue’s figure, "Alas... You really leave me at a loss for words..."

His expression was extraordinarily complex, and then he straightened out his clothes and formally performed a bow, "Elder pays respect to Sword Child!"

As a Fake Core Cultivator, his status was originally one level higher than that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

But in the Heavenly Sword Sect, the status of True Inheritor Sword Child was astonishing, almost equivalent to that of a True Core Elder.

Since Deacon Xue was merely an Outer Hall Fake Core Cultivator, he had to bow first.

"Deacon Xue, what is this?"

Fang Xing was somewhat puzzled.

"The Sect Master has decreed, inviting Sword Child to the Sword Hall!"

Deacon Xue said solemnly, "From now on, your ranking in the Sect’s hierarchy changes dramatically."

In his view, Fang Xing had obviously possessed the strength of a True Disciple all along, only joining the Outer Hall to obtain the identity of a Heavenly Sword Sect Disciple, all for the sake of challenging Sword Heart Peak!

In history, there were also True Inheritor Sword Children who didn’t wish to compete at the Sword Fighting Platform and instead took such an approach.

He maneuvered a wave of purple light, bringing Fang Xing in a flash, soaring above all peaks and arriving atop Heavenly Sword Peak.

"Greetings to the Sect Master!"

Seeing the Sect Master, who bore the visage of defeat, Fang Xing faintly understood the origin of his Daoist title and bowed once again.

"Zheng Country’s Fang Xing..."

Kong Fengge held a pen in one hand and the Sect Disciple registry in the other, his expression stern, "Today, I list you as a True Inheritor of our Sect, hoping you shall not fail the Sect, nor your Cultivation, may your Sword resound across the Nine Heavens!"

He meticulously recorded Fang Xing’s name among the True Disciples, thus concluding the initiation ceremony.

’Quite typical of Sword Cultivators, maddeningly straightforward...’

Fang Xing was taken aback and then asked, "May I inquire, Sect Master, what benefits do True Inheritors receive?"

"You can ask Deacon Xue about that; he will make the arrangements!"

Sect Master waved his hand with impatience, "As for your future travels, this Master will clarify now... if you are killed by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, whether it’s in a fair duel, by poisoning, or an ambush, the Sect will not intervene, blaming only your inadequate Sword Dao!"

"If you are bullied by a Core Formation Cultivator or anyone of higher Cultivation, the Sect will seek justice on your behalf to the end, even if it means calling upon the Supreme Elder to exterminate the offender’s entire clan!"

’That’s a powerful statement, I like it...’

Fang Xing nodded silently within, then suddenly asked, "What about... Fake Core Cultivators?"

"Fake Core doesn’t count as Core Formation!"

Sect Master spoke directly, showing no concern for Deacon Xue standing beside him.

Deacon Xue appeared nonchalant, almost defiantly accepting the insult.

’So if a True Inheritor of the Sect is killed by a Fake Core Cultivator, the Heavenly Sword Sect won’t intervene...’

’This really does put the pressure on...’

Fang Xing was momentarily speechless, then accepted a new token representative of a True Disciple, bowed, and walked out of the Sword Hall.

"Congratulations True Disciple... according to the customs of the Heavenly Sword Sect, each True Inheritor Sword Child gets a mountain peak to establish their Cave Mansion, attracting Third Rank Top Grade spiritual vein energy."

Upon exiting, Deacon Xue knew what Fang Xing was going to ask and spoke with a beaming smile, "As for the Cultivation Technique of a True Disciple, you can directly go to the Scripture Collection Pavilion."

"I see."

Fang Xing said no more and went directly to the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

The white-haired Sword Cultivator guarding the entrance saw him, his gaze lingering momentarily on the True Inheritor Sword Child’s token, and couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile, "I truly misjudged... congratulations Sword Child, morning in the Outer Hall, evening in the hall of True Inheritors!"

"Which floor may a True Disciple access?"

Fang Xing asked with interest.

"Below the seventh floor, there are no prohibitions."

The white-haired Sword Cultivator replied solemnly.

"Good!"

Fang Xing nodded and headed straight to the sixth floor of the Scripture Collection Pavilion.

The books here were fewer in number, with just one bookshelf laid out, and above the bookshelf, there was an Array light screen that required the True Disciple’s token to open.

"Golden Yuan Sword Manual, can be cultivated up to Nascent Soul Middle Stage... Indeed, my previous judgment wasn’t wrong."

Fang Xing scanned briefly and found several top-tier Sword Cultivation Techniques.

As a True Disciple, most of the Heavenly Sword Sect’s inheritance was open to him, for the taking.

"The Star Sword Scripture? Not bad..."

"The River Sword Scripture? I’ll take that too..."

Compared to these top-tier manuals, the "Golden Yuan Sword Manual" appeared somewhat ordinary.

Since True Disciples had no limit on the number of scriptures they could take, Fang Xing copied several Jade Scrolls before leisurely returning to his Quasi Third Rank spiritual energy Cave Mansion in the Outer Hall.

After all, his True Inheritor Peak hadn’t been settled upon, let alone built...

By this time, the entire Outer Hall was already buzzing with excitement about his great feat.

Fang Xing had anticipated this turn of events and promptly closed his doors to all visitors.

With his current status, no one in the Outer Hall could barge in, not even those few Outer Hall Elders who had achieved True Core!

"Eh?"

Fang Xing took a moment to rest, glanced at the Array and the Sound Transmission Talisman within, and found there was also a storage bag.

He waved his hand to dissolve the Prohibition, took the storage bag, and realized it was from Deacon Huang.

Not only had the other party returned all the Spirit Stones previously offered as a bribe, but it seemed he had added several times more...

"This Deacon Huang, too courteous..."

Fang Xing shook his head, re-activated the Array, and began to meditate cross-legged.

...

The night was deep.

Sword Heart Peak.

By day, many Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples had long departed.

Only a few mortal men remained kneeling in front of the peak, apparently determined to move the Immortal with their steadfast resolve.

At some point, a figure arrived at the base of Sword Heart Peak.

"Two hundred steps for Qi Cultivation, four hundred steps for Foundation Establishment to become a True Inheritor..."

"But I, seem to be just a mortal... Doesn’t this call for a critical reward?"

Fang Xing’s true self looked up at the summit of Sword Heart Peak, a trace of a smile on his lips.
