Chapter 3122: What Are You Registering For?
This Sword Immortal Convention was organized on a whim by the numerous sword cultivator experts of the Immortal Realm, and moreover this is the first time it is being held.
However, don't be fooled by it being the first time; it is actually receiving great attention, and nearly all sword cultivators of the Immortal Realm are eagerly looking forward to it.
After all, the people who planned this Sword Immortal Convention can be said to have covered all the renowned sword cultivators of the entire Immortal Realm.
If one can gain fame at this maintenance conference, its value is still high.
And the venue for this first Sword Immortal Convention is the Dao One Immortal Sect, with full responsibility entrusted to Hong Zun's God Sword Hall.
This was also chosen by a vote of everyone, and worth mentioning is that the God Sword Hall was approved unanimously.
As for this, Hong Zun was not particularly delighted at the time; what schemes could those guys possibly be hatching in their hearts—how could he not know?
A bunch of bastards, just thinking of coming to the Dao One Immortal Sect to mooch food and drink.
They say with their mouths that the Dao One Immortal Sect is currently the leader of the orthodox path of the Human Race, so naturally this first Sword Immortal Convention should be held at the Dao One Immortal Sect.
But in reality, their hearts are all actually running toward Ye Zhangqing's food and dishes.
Not to mention those sword cultivator experts, even the other sword cultivators participating in the gathering are all extremely supportive of this.
Each and every one of them is thinking of taking this opportunity to come to the Dao One Immortal Sect to mooch meals.
However, Hong Zun, being one of the initiators of this Sword Immortal Convention, also found it hard to refuse; after asking Ye Zhangqing and receiving his assent, he also agreed.
Holding this Sword Immortal Convention at the Dao One Immortal Sect is, for the Dao One Immortal Sect, not without its benefits.
The foremost benefit is the increase in prestige, and this is beyond doubt.
Secondly, participation in this Sword Immortal Convention is not something you can just join; it requires a so-called registration fee, and the price is not low either.
And this registration fee goes directly into the Dao One Immortal Sect's coffers.
Simply put, that is, I take the money, but the rewards are pooled together by everyone; this is a genuine benefit.
In a few days, sword cultivators from all over will likely arrive at the Dao One Immortal Sect in succession, which is why Qi Xiong and Hong Zun have come specially to give a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing also smiled and nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Over the next few days, within the Dao One Immortal Sect, news of the Sword Immortal Convention spread in a bustling manner.
Many disciples of various sects, whether or not they belong to the God Sword Hall, all felt a sense of shared honor.
Even the likes of that clueless bunch from the Blood Blade Hall, seeing how much importance is attached to this Sword Immortal Convention, many disciples have been privately discussing whether their Blood Blade Hall should also hold a Blade Immortal Convention.
"Blade Immortal Convention? What's the point; we practice the blade not for these things—what use is an empty reputation? In the end, it's still about the blade in one's own hand; that's the real deal."
"Exactly; with that effort, it would be better to practice the blade technique two more times."
At first, some people objected, feeling it was a waste of time with no meaning at all.
But as one of the disciples, speaking mysteriously in a low voice, said:
"Esteemed senior brothers and sisters, although this empty reputation may have no meaning, the food in the canteen is genuinely something you actually eat."
"Huh? Food? What do you mean?"
"Look, lately because of the Sword Immortal Convention matter, Elder Ye has apparently agreed that during the Sword Immortal Convention, each participating sword cultivator will at least be able to have a meal, and the same goes for everyone in the God Sword Hall, regardless of cultivation or status, they can all have this meal."
"If our Blood Blade Hall also held a Blade Immortal Convention once, would we also be able to get a meal?"
"Huh???"
Upon hearing this, the many disciples who had originally been indifferent to it instantly had their eyes light up.
"Organizing such a grand event actually comes with a meal—now that's different."
"Whether they become Blade Immortals or not, they don't care; even if they become Blade Immortals, what good would it do? When they later encounter a powerful enemy, they'll still be cut down."
"The Blood Blade Hall, up and down, is pragmatic; they disdain this empty reputation, after all, in the end it's still the blade in one's hand that matters."
"If the blade isn't sharp, you're useless no matter what."
"But now that food is involved, those many disciples have become spirited."
"Empty reputation can be foregone, but this meal is definitely something we have to eat; immediately a senior brother spoke earnestly:"
"Junior brother, let's make a plan."
"Disciples who think like the Blood Blade Hall are actually not few; everyone is a sensible person."
"On the other side, the God Sword Hall has been busier than ever these past few days, to the point that even the elder who teaches Wang Tieshu swordsmanship has no time."
"Being idle and also very curious about the Sword Immortal Convention, Wang Tieshu made a bold decision."
"But upon hearing this decision, Hong Zun exploded in anger."
"What did you say?"
"Husband, I also want to register for the Sword Immortal Convention."
"What are you registering for?"
"Upon hearing this, Hong Zun's whole self felt unwell; this is the Sword Immortal Convention, not an artifact-forging competition—it's about swordsmanship."
"What are you going to do with that thing? You've only studied swordsmanship for a few days."
"Without even thinking, Hong Zun naturally firmly refused."
"Isn't this just messing around? Moreover, this Sword Immortal Convention is being hosted by their God Sword Hall—who would go up there just to embarrass themselves?"
"He disagreed with anything said, and didn't even bother to look at the results of Wang Tieshu's sword practice over these few days."
"What can a few days accomplish? Besides, Wang Tieshu doesn't seem like someone with talent either."
"Earlier, when I agreed to let her study the sword, it was just to get her out of the way; I never thought she would actually become proficient."
"But now she wants to participate in the Sword Immortal Convention, which is obviously impossible."
"Being ruthlessly refused by Hong Zun, Wang Tieshu grit her teeth in secret, feeling extremely displeased."
"However, she is certainly not the sort of obedient little woman; Wang Tieshu has her own judgment."
"Since it's the Sword Immortal Convention, if she can perform outstandingly at this convention, it could also bring honor to her husband."
"After all, she is now the mistress of the God Sword Hall, and also represents the God Sword Hall."
"Thinking this through, Wang Tieshu couldn't be bothered to waste more words with Hong Zun, and instead she herself found the place to register."
The registration site was naturally overseen by an elder of the Divine Sword Hall; seeing Wang Tieshu stride over like a small mountain, the two elders in charge of registration were both stunned.
What's this?
I want to register.
What?
They thought they had misheard—you're just a weapon refiner, why would you sign up for the Sword Immortal Assembly?
They were indeed left speechless by Wang Tieshu.
However, facing Wang Tieshu's oppressive gaze, the two elders still agreed after confirming several times.
Moreover, they didn't break any rules, paying the full registration fee without lacking a single cent.
After all, as a weapon refiner, Wang Tieshu wasn't short of money; this tiny registration fee was just a drop in the bucket.
Having successfully registered for the Sword Immortal Assembly, Wang Tieshu left satisfied, though Hong Zun still didn't know about this, feeling a bit smug in his heart.
By the time he gets on the stage, her husband will surely be surprised when he sees her.
Meanwhile, numerous sword cultivators arrived at the Dao One Immortal Sect one after another, and the sect instantly became bustling.
