Chapter 126: Where the Sword Points
Ji You broke through the Sword Forest, preserving a sliver of face for Tianshu Academy. Naturally, they didn't need to leave in a hurry, nor did they have to worry about anyone coming to mock them.
So He Lingxiu decided to stay for another day, first for You Buyu's injuries, and second to wait for Ji You to descend the mountain.
During this time, everyone was silent.
Only Ru Long Immortal Emperor was seen gesticulating with his sword, embellishing the hearsay about the Sword Forest for everyone.
"Brother Ji's sword fell in all directions, then he swung his sword and cut it, shouting, 'How can a mere Sword Forest stop me!'"
"The Xuanjian Peak direct Disciple was right behind him, her beautiful eyes wide, as if she wanted to become his fiancée the next second, watching that white-robed youth raise his sword!"
"No, a mere Tong Xuan Realm cultivator cannot break my Lingjian Mountain sword array!" The Lingjian Mountain Elder still stubbornly insisted.
"At this moment, a cold laugh was heard, and Ji You spread his arm, seven swords, rising!"
"'Do you really think this is all my strength?!'"
"As the words fell, Yan Ye's plump backside trembled, and then the seven swords, like Dragons, broke through the Sword Forest!"
Ban Yangshu and Wen Zhengxin, among others, watched this scene, their lips twitching slightly, their toes already digging out a Cloud Top Heavenly Palace, thinking, "What in the world is he talking about? It's as if he was there himself."
If you have this ability, why cultivate immortality? Couldn't you make a living as a storyteller?
And Yan Ye is almost fifty years old; you even looked at her backside, didn't you?
However, although what he said was outrageous, it made more people fall silent, as if images were floating in their eyes.
You Buyu lay silently on the bed, listening to Bai Rulong's clamor, his eyes unfocused, his mind not on Ji You, but on the Tianjian Peak direct Disciple who had struck a sword at him.
That one sword lingered in his mind, making it difficult for his Dao Heart to settle.
He knew that his Dao Heart had been shattered by that sword.
Zhuang You.
Yes, it was him. You Buyu now remembered that he had seen this person six years ago at the Immortal Ascension Gathering.
This was also why he felt a sense of familiarity when he first saw Zhuang You on the arena.
At that time, Zhuang You was just an unremarkable Outer Sect Disciple of Lingjian Mountain, attending the gathering with his sect, and had a sparring match with an Outer Sect Disciple of Xuan Yuan Immortal Mansion, which ended with a light touch.
Neither his cultivation nor his Sword Dao was particularly remarkable.
And at that time, You Buyu had already touched the threshold of the Integration Dao Realm and was officially selected as a direct Disciple of Jixiang Hall.
So, although he watched that fight, You Buyu was not deeply impressed by him.
How could a direct Disciple of a Hall Master pay attention to an unremarkable Disciple from another immortal sect?
But who knew that in just six short years, he had grown so powerful, especially that last ferocious sword strike, which directly made him feel despair.
Is there truly such talent in the world? Or is the Spiritual Sword Mountain Sword Dao truly so powerful?
This made him Can't help it think of Ji You...
Entering the academy at Junior Third Realm Completion, a rogue cultivator from the countryside, he cultivated to the Tongxuan Middle Stage in half a year, and now, after he and He Lingxiu were defeated, he directly broke the opponent's Sword Forest.
You Buyu had investigated Ji You before, but he hadn't found out how long it took him to reach Junior Third Realm Completion.
But even breaking directly into the Tongxuan Middle Stage in half a year has to be called a heaven-sent genius.
And besides him, there was also Chu River in the Outer Courtyard; although he was slightly inferior to Ji You, he also reached the Tong Xuan Realm in less than half a year.
It should be known that in previous years, when Tianshu Academy selected new Disciples, it was almost always near the Inner Courtyard Autumn Tournament that someone would break through to the Tong Xuan Realm.
In fact, in some years, no one broke through to the Tong Xuan Realm until the Autumn Tournament began, and they still chose Tong Xuan Realm students from the previous year to enter the Inner Courtyard.
Otherwise, Tianshu Academy would not be able to accept only one person each year.
But what has happened to this world now? Ji You, Chu River, especially that Zhuang You—
At the last moment, he used his aunt's direct Dao technique, raising his combat power to the point of nearing the Integration Dao Realm Peak, yet he was still cut down by a single sword, which he found unbelievable.
Has the era of a hundred flowers blooming for the Human Race arrived, and am I the most mediocre one?
You Buyu couldn't help but grasp his chest, feeling a surge of Qi constantly crashing, his whole body beginning to heat up, making it difficult for him to control—
And behind the Sword Forest on Tianjian Peak, outside Qi Zhengyang's residence in the leisure courtyard, the rising Sword Intent continuously soared, blocking the Tianjian Peak Elder at the door.
They couldn't cross those Sword Intent, so they could only stop there, discussing animatedly.
"Was he really learning swordplay earlier?"
"He resisted with his Physical Body—"
"All seven swords were Xiao Chong Shan?"
Yan Shuyi stood gracefully beside them, her cold eyes looking towards the deep mansion. She had come because she was worried about Ji You's safety. When that "Si Wu Xie" rose, she had already brewed Sword Qi, ready to act when he couldn't hold on anymore.
She was a little afraid, afraid that this man she had only met three times would die.
However, the true strength Ji You displayed truly exceeded her expectations.
She didn't expect that the encircling swords, like Dragons, would really cut through, grinding away that "Si Wu Xie," with Sword Qi piercing directly through the Sword Forest and Sword Intent echoing throughout the mountains.
Now, hearing others exclaim in admiration about him, her eyes unconsciously narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of pride that was hard to detect.
However, she still had worries in her heart, wondering what Qi Zhengyang would do to him.
Yan Shuyi is in the Yingtian Realm, and with the spirit mirror, she can exert the Qi of the Upper Five Realms, so breaking Qi Zhengyang's sword is not a big problem.
But now, under the eyes of the public, everyone thought she came because the Sword Forest was broken by an outsider,
So she couldn't easily make a move.
Actually, this was mainly because the final Sword Qi tore Ji You's robe, leaving her stunned for a long time, otherwise she would have had a chance to keep him before Qi Elder took him away.
However, there is another strange thing.
That is, when the Sword Dao swept over, Ji You, who was flying, did not struggle at all, otherwise he would not have been swept away so easily.
Yan Shuyi's mind once again began to conjure up that full and bursting Physical Body, her eyes glazed over, her mind unable to think too much, and she couldn't help but purse her pink lips.
That unfamiliar man's body was seen by everyone on the mountain—
At this time, others also arrived one after another, and after bowing to her respectfully, she nodded in response.
"Master Jian seems to be in a good mood today?"
"Probably because Tianshu Academy challenged Lingjian Mountain and lost both battles."
"But the fact that a Tianshu Academy Disciple broke Qi Elder's Sword Forest is not a good thing—"
"I wonder if Qi Elder will choose him to inherit the Sword Dao mantle—."
"Impossible, he is a Tianshu Academy Disciple, Qi Elder has his limits."
"But a true enlightened Sword Heart, I'm afraid Qi Elder will be tempted after seeing it. His legitimate son died in the ruins, refined by Zheng Family Old Ancestor. He set up the Sword Forest again, isn't it to find a Disciple with excellent Aptitude? To prevent the Sword Dao from being cut off?"
"This—."
Meanwhile, in the vast mansion separated by Sword Qi.
A slender man was sitting on a futon, wiping a sword with deerskin, his movements precise and serious.
The wiped sword was bright and sharp, emitting a terrifying cold light, full of endless Killing Intent, like surging waves flying within the mansion.
But the face of the person wiping the sword showed no joy or sorrow, only a numb Battle Intent continuously brewing.
He is Qi Zhengyang, the Elder of Tianjian Peak, the chief of the Spiritual Sword Mountain Sword Dao, a Sword Cultivator at Upper Five Realms Perfection, who has spent most of his life meditating on the sword in the deep mountains, with a pure Sword Dao.
As an immortal cultivator with a different surname, to achieve such a status, there are only two possibilities in the Qingyun World.
One is to be born well, and the other is to be truly strong.
Half a month ago, Qi Zhengyang's legitimate son, born in his later years, died in the ruins.
Afterward, the Sword Forest was set up, filled with endless Killing Intent. Countless Lingjian Mountain Disciples who wanted to inherit his Sword Dao were severely injured and have not yet recovered.
There are many coincidences in this Qingyun World, as if someone wanted to learn the sword, and so there was a Sword Forest.
But some coincidences, in fact, inherently contain Karma in the dark.
The origin of all things still comes from the ruins.
And in his mansion, the strong man in women's clothing, swept in by the Sword Qi, was waiting at the side.
The blood flow from his right shoulder had stopped by now, and his majestic aura gradually receded. He stood in the hall and lightly exhaled, but there was no panic or confusion.
Qi Zhengyang's movements of wiping the long sword suddenly slowed, and he turned to stare at the man in women's clothing for a long time.
He felt a little strange.
Because this person showed no struggle when swept in by his Sword Qi, and even had an intention to cooperate, which greatly puzzled him.
Looking at his ill-fitting sword robe tightly clinging to his full chest, a hint of strangeness was revealed in his numb expression.
"You are not a Lingjian Mountain Disciple?"
"Junior Ji You of Tianshu Academy, greets Qi Elder."
Qi Zhengyang spoke indifferently, "I didn't expect there to truly be someone with such an enlightened Sword Heart as you in this world,
Yet not a Disciple of my Lingjian Mountain."
Ji You tugged at his ill-fitting clothes and said, "Junior merely used a trick, it's not really an enlightened Sword Heart,
At most, it's a bit of cleverness."
"The word 'trick' is not false, but what exactly is going on with your Physical Body?"
"It's been this hard since birth, I don't know why."
Qi Zhengyang withdrew his gaze and looked at the Sword Qi Heaven Map hanging in the hall, muttering, "Everyone has secrets, which is why they cannot learn the purest sword."
Ji You's eyelids trembled slightly, thinking that this was indeed true.
For example, he is not from this world, and his explosive Spirit Origin.
For example, he had gnawed on the small hooves of the Lingjian Mountain Master Jian, and had been seen naked by Yuan Caiwei, none of which could be spoken of.
As he was thinking, Qi Zhengyang's sword-wiping movements continued, and the rustling sound constantly echoed in his ears. Ji You came back to his senses and glanced at him: "Elder has been wiping his sword, is he going to kill someone?"
Qi Zhengyang raised the sword blade towards the sky, observing the sword body: "You stole my Lingjian Mountain sword without permission, why don't you think this sword is for killing you?"
"To kill me, a Tong Xuan Realm cultivator, such a powerful sword is not needed."
"Being able to break my "Si Wu Xie," you are no ordinary Tong Xuan Realm cultivator either. Perhaps a fast sword is indeed needed to kill you."
"But the Elder's Sword Intent is not directed at me; it seems to be on Tianjian Peak."
