Chapter 920: The Immortal's Aura (4000 words)
When everyone is confused and puzzled.
Some well-informed people had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"Rumor has it that not long ago, the Lingxiao Sword Sect's ancestor, Zhuge Yu, emerged from seclusion," someone whispered. "In order to vie for the title of the Central Region's most powerful swordsmanship, he battled the Tianhuan Sword Sect's ancestor. With just three strikes, he defeated him, solidifying the Lingxiao Sword Sect's dominance in the swordsmanship field."
"Afterwards, the Tianhuan Sword Sect's ancestor once said that Zhuge Yu had been promoted to Half-Step Sword Emperor and officially stepped into the realm of Half-Step Supreme..."
"Hiss~ If what you said is true, and if we add Lord Ziqian, who possesses the combat power of a Half-Step Supreme, how could a mere Eastern Territory family actually gain the friendship of two Half-Step Supremes?"
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became extremely tense.
Many monks couldn't help but show strong fear in their eyes.
In their eyes, the Cangwu Jiang family was like a fast-growing tree with lush branches and leaves that was about to cover the entire sky.
If this force is allowed to continue to grow, it will definitely shake the entire Central Region's structure!
"We can't delay it any longer!"
"We must eradicate it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a disaster for us in the future!"
Thinking of this, many cultivators in the Central Region had already felt a surge of murderous intent in their hearts.
This time, Cangwu Mountain is destined to become a river of blood!
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
After all, this family is too evil and develops too fast, even to the point of scaring them!
As long as they are not eliminated, they will not be able to rest in peace!
.............
Time passed quietly.
Soon after, many monks had already set foot on Cangwu Mountain and arrived at the venue that had been prepared long ago.
Here, stands a huge arena emitting a faint golden glow.
There are densely packed seats around the ring for guests to watch.
Soon, under the guidance of the Jiang family members present, these monks quickly took their seats.
At this time, the entire viewing area was cleverly divided into five major areas, representing the east, south, west, north and center.
And just as everyone was waiting patiently.
Somewhere in the void above.
Qingyue hid here, observing the surroundings secretly.
With the powerful perception of the quasi-emperor level, he soon noticed something unusual.
"Tsk tsk, these people are really dishonest." Qingyue muttered to himself, "They actually try to be clever, letting a stronger person take possession of their body in the form of a wisp of soul, and then using some special space magic weapon to lead the soul around the five-domain barrier..."
With just one glance, he saw through the tricks of this group of Central Region monks.
He could clearly sense that these people were only at the Soul Formation Realm.
But within his body, there is a powerful force that far exceeds his own realm and does not belong to him.
There are nearly a hundred people like this.
Eighty-five of them emitted saint-level spiritual fluctuations.
There are thirteen more people who exude the spiritual aura of the Saint King.
Nearly a hundred beings at the Saint level and above have descended here almost all in their spiritual bodies, which shows how much importance these families place on their masters.
"However," Qingyue smiled playfully and shook his head slightly, "No matter how much I value this, it's still far from enough to pass the master's test."
"Even those youngsters alone are enough to give you a hard time..."
He knew very well that almost all the geniuses in the clan were high-level saints, or even had the combat power of top saints.
Not to mention, there are also Saint King combat forces like Jiang Chen and Jiang Han.
There are only about a hundred soul clones, what is there to be afraid of?
Qingyue smiled lightly and didn't care anymore.
Instead of worrying about these people causing trouble on Cangwu Mountain.
It would be better to think about whether these people can walk down Cangwu Mountain alive.
...............
At this time, at the seat of the Liuhuo Sect in the Southern Region.
Ye Feng looked around and was secretly amazed.
He was not originally qualified to watch this competition.
But because his good brother Yuntian is the contemporary walker of Liuhuo Sect.
So, relying on this relationship, I successfully joined the team.
Ye Feng retracted his gaze and gently nudged Yun Tian next to him with his elbow: "See, our guess was correct. Only by leaving the Southern Region can we truly open our eyes and see the world."
"In the past, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to witness such a magnificent spectacle..."
Yuntian nodded, agreeing deeply.
"Yeah, we couldn't imagine this before."
“Only after we ventured out did we discover that this world is far more vast than we had imagined.”
Suddenly, Ye Feng seemed to have thought of something and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yun, do you think Jiang Yi will appear in this competition?"
Yun Tian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flickered. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although Jiang Yi's combat power is strong, his cultivation level revealed before is still below that of a celestial being. He meets the conditions for crossing the barrier of the five realms. Logically speaking, he should not be absent..."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but recall the scene at that time - Jiang Yi's eyes flashed with divine light, and he used his terrifying fighting power to kill the great devil Xu Gu who had been wreaking havoc in the Southern Region for a long time.
At that moment, it seemed as if the world had lost all its color.
It was because of that scene that they made up their minds to come to the Eastern Region.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Since leaving the Southern Territory, I have experienced many twists and turns.
He first accidentally broke into Wanquan City, then was imprisoned by Zhuge Zi's evil corpse, and was finally rescued by Jiang Beixuan.
And every time he was in a life-or-death situation, he seemed to be rescued by someone from the Jiang family. It was really too coincidental.
As the two were whispering, the Liuhuo Sect elder Su Yansheng in front of them said softly, "Be quiet, the competition is about to begin."
As soon as the words fell, the two men calmed down, sat up straight in silence, and looked back at the ring.
Om-!
As the last spectator took his seat, a melodious bell suddenly rang from above.
Everyone was startled, stopped talking, and looked up into the sky—
High in the sky, the sea of clouds was surging, the rays of light were like waterfalls, and myriad divine lights appeared, transforming into dragon shadows that fell down and surrounded the arena in the center.
Li Xingyao sat in the spectator seats, watching this scene, with a slight smile on his lips, revealing a hint of disdain.
"The family isn't big, so putting on these fancy things might be okay, but do you really think you can shock everyone? They're just for show."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people around him nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if this was a scene of a top force in the Central Region, it might not seem so abrupt.
But a mere family from the Eastern Region actually dared to be so ostentatious, which seemed to be a bit of a "bragging" attitude.
However, just as these voices of doubt began to rise, the space in the sky suddenly exploded!
Figures appeared from the sky.
Jiang Chen, Jiang Yan, Jiang Han, Jiang Ming, Jiang Hao, Jiang Yi, Jiang Zhiwei...
One by one, the Jiang family's geniuses appeared in front of the arena like stars falling to the ground.
Seeing this in the audience seats, Ye Feng's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Jiang Yi, he really came..."
Having said that, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Tsk tsk, it looks like this competition is going to be something to watch."
"I just wonder how he compares to the rumored Young Emperor."
Today, he wants to see how big the gap is between him and these Cangwu geniuses!
Only by recognizing the gap can we find the direction and catch up!
And in the seat of Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Chen Duanshui, who had originally looked calm, suddenly changed his expression the moment he saw Jiang Zhiwei.
It was because he sensed an extremely terrifying aura from the other party.
This aura is extremely sharp, as if it can penetrate everything, revealing an extreme edge!
"This woman can actually cultivate the sword to such a level..."
"It seems that she is Jiang Zhiwei."
He remembered that his master had mentioned it.
The Grand Elder Li Liang once asked the ancestor Zhuge Yu if he should accept Jiang Zhiwei into the sect because he valued her talent.
But Patriarch Zhuge Yu only replied briefly: "This girl is extremely talented, and her swordsmanship has already taken shape. If the sect accepts her, it will probably interrupt her path."
Afterwards, Patriarch Zhuge Yu bluntly stated, "In a thousand years at most, the title of Sword Master of the Five Realms will surely belong to Jiang Zhiwei."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Lingxiao Sword Sect was shocked.
Soon, many unconvinced disciples began to collect information about the other party through various channels.
However, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but once you look at it, everyone falls silent.
What? She reached Sword Saint status in her twenties? And she achieved this in that barren place in the Eastern Region?
What? She actually comprehended the even more powerful Weak Water Sword Intent from the Water Sword Intent?!
What? She...she was actually able to comprehend the highest level of Samsara Sword Intent?!
Every achievement made by any sword cultivator is enough to make them marvel and look up to him.
But now, all the achievements are concentrated in one person, especially that person is a woman.
This situation instantly left them speechless, their heads buzzing, and they felt ashamed of themselves.
Among them naturally included Chen Duanshui, a true disciple.
"The future Sword Master of the Five Realms..." he repeated softly, a complex wave of emotions welling up within him. "Seeing you today, I can see your reputation truly lives up to its reputation. It's beyond the reach of my generation."
When I first heard the rumors, I was still a little skeptical and thought they were a bit exaggerated.
But when he saw Jiang Zhiwei with his own eyes, he deeply realized that those rumors were not only not exaggerated, but even greatly underestimated this woman!
..........
at the same time.
Among the seats of Baisheng Academy.
Pei Xuejian's gaze suddenly fixed on a certain place.
That was not any of the Cangwu geniuses, but a child in the arms of a middle-aged man at the Jiang family seat.
This boy has fair, pink and round skin, and is very cute.
The most eye-catching thing is the faint golden mark between the eyebrows.
"This is……"
Pei Xuejian's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Because he could vaguely sense a strong aura of literature and Taoism from the golden mark!
But how is this possible?
He was just a child who couldn't even read or write. How could he have such profound attainments in literature and art?
"Could it be that this child is the reincarnation of a certain ancient literary saint?"
Pei Xuejian narrowed his eyes slightly, and the shock in his heart became increasingly difficult to contain.
But then he shook his head and thought to himself, "Since Baisheng Academy has some connection with the Cangwu Jiang family, after this competition, we can give it a try and see if we can recruit this boy as a disciple, let him practice the orthodox teachings of literature and Taoism from a young age, and concentrate on exploring his potential..."
Faced with such a gifted person who is naturally suitable for practicing literature and Taoism, Pei Xuejian certainly cannot miss it.
..........
At the seat of the Yongyang Zhao family.
Zhao Cheng's gaze was fixed on Jiang Chen who was in the front.
"Humph, with such a powerful aura, it's no wonder he was able to defeat the young clan leader..."
He snorted coldly, then scoffed, "It's a pity that in this world, talent alone is far from enough. Without sufficient strength, such a genius will only be a flash in the pan and will eventually die..."
Then, Zhao Cheng said to the being hidden within his body, "First Ancestor, you are indeed foresighted. You recognized the terrifying potential of the Cangwu Jiang family and prepared to lay a killing calamity."
"But, I don't know when we should take action?"
Soon, the voice of the Zhao family's ancestor rang out in his mind: "Don't worry, I've already calculated the optimal time, which will allow me to unleash my magical powers to the fullest. When the time comes, hmph! With the right time, place, and people, I want to see if the Cangwu Jiang family can survive this disaster!"
"As for Cangwu Mountain?" The First Ancestor sneered, "From today onwards, it will become a place of death that will terrify these Eastern Region barbarians!"
Zhao Cheng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "First Ancestor is wise! The revenge of the young patriarch must be paid with blood today!"
After the words fell, there was no response for a long time.
Zhao Cheng knew that Yi Zu had fallen into meditation again, preparing to accumulate strength and wait for the right time to act.
So, he said no more and just stared at the ring silently, with murderous intent surging in his heart.
"The number one family in the Eastern Region? Haha, today will surely become a thing of the past!"
............
As all the contestants came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
All the Jiang family members looked solemn, their eyes fixed on the figure that was about to arrive.
Seeing this, everyone around them suddenly understood - that person was finally going to show up...
"boom--!"
A deafening roar suddenly rang out!
Immediately afterwards, a figure in white slowly walked out from the crack in the void.
The white robe is like snow, the black hair is like a waterfall, the aura is strong, and the pressure is as great as a mountain collapsing!
His face is as handsome as a god, and his temperament is like an immortal, as if he is isolated from heaven and earth, pure and untainted, and transcending the mundane world!
As he slowly walked onto the stage, the Jiang family members' faces became solemn and their postures became like devout believers.
Their expressions were solemn, their eyes filled with reverence and worship, and they knelt in unison and said:
"Welcome to the Patriarch!!"
"Welcome to the Patriarch!!"
"Welcome to the Patriarch!!"
"..."
The sound was like a huge bell, deafening, and it gathered into a wave that shook the heavens and the earth, echoing in the sky!
The expressions of all the cultivators present, no matter they came from the four regions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, or the central region that prided itself on being superior, changed drastically at this moment, with turbulent waves in their hearts.
"The head of the Jiang family, the White-robed Sword Saint, the Holy Ancestor Cang Ling..."
"Jiang Daoxuan, with such a temperament, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a banished immortal."
"How could such a person appear in this insignificant Eastern Region?"
"You are right, fellow Daoist. How could the barbarian bloodline of the mere Eastern Region be qualified to produce such a cold and aloof figure with an immortal bearing?"
"Hmph! In my opinion, this Jiang clan leader must have been blessed with my Central Region bloodline, which is why he was able to achieve this kind of exiled immortal demeanor today!"
