Chapter 321: Sword Venerable Kutan and the Ten Thousand Swords Dragon Pool

The mass brawl incident involving Earth Ranking experts at the outer sect's "Wanchao Peak" and "Tongfeng Ridge" did not cause too much of a stir; only a small number of people knew about it.

But from the next day on, the voices clamoring to challenge Heng Xian for the first place on the Earth Ranking disappeared.

Even the voices discussing Heng Xian vanished, leaving a group of inner sect disciples and direct disciples who were prepared to watch the fun feeling a bit stifled.

But soon, everyone's attention was drawn to another matter—

The Lingjian Sect's Daoist Kutan, who enjoys the name of Sword Venerable in the Dongyu cultivation world, intends to borrow the Tianyuan Sect's "Ten Thousand Swords Dragon Pool" to test his sword in two months, and will invite the Da Luo Holy Sect, Donghuang Palace, Luoxia Valley, Qingshan Sect, and the most mysterious "Tongtian Pavilion" of the fourteen sects of Dongyu to appreciate the sword together!

"Daoist Kutan's attainments in swordsmanship can be called the pinnacle; in terms of the sword Dao, apart from some ancestors and imperial dynasty experts in the entire Dongyu cultivation world, very few people can surpass him!

Do you know why he wants to borrow our Ten Thousand Swords Dragon Pool to test his sword this time?"

In the Kuliu Palace, Nangong Liluo was rarely serious, summoning her disciples and grand-disciples together.

However, Ma Xiaohua put on the appearance of a retired emperor, lost in thought, as if considering major national affairs.

Eldest Senior Sister Ye Batian was daydreaming, not knowing what she was pondering.

Heng Xian was reading a letter repeatedly.

A letter from Ji Yaoyue.

It must be said that this girl's writing style is truly excellent; her choice of words and phrasing is just right, pointing out the beauty between lovers without being overly intimate and falling into vulgarity.

In short, Heng Xian was very moved and suddenly wanted to see her.

That day, after coming up from the Jianhai Guji, he left with his master Nangong Liluo; time was too hurried, and he didn't have time to say goodbye.

On the other side were the three third-generation disciples of Kuliu Peak. Nan Xian listened very seriously, but didn't understand; she hadn't reached that level yet.

Liuli and Su Kun were excitedly whispering about the cards.

Those guys on the Earth Ranking finally stopped challenging the Junior Martial Uncle, so we can finally stop throwing cards; the Second Martial Uncle was lying, it can't temper one's character at all.

"Did you not hear me speaking? Is your master so lacking in majesty?" Nangong Liluo's voice was a bit stiff.

"Ah?" The three of Heng Xian's senior sister and brother reacted.

Ma Xiaohua blinked: "What?"

Nangong Liluo was furious: "Your sect offerings and Tianbuguan dividends for this month have been advanced by me!"

Ma Xiaohua's face changed, and he became spirited: "Master, don't be like that, if you have something to say, just say it!"

Nangong Liluo smiled triumphantly: "Scared, aren't you? If you're scared, listen carefully!"

Ye Batian sighed: "Master, we are listening; to be honest, we are not interested!"

Nangong Liluo frowned slightly: "How can you not be interested? Daoist Kutan, the Sword Venerable, I heard he brought a few disciples, and there will be no shortage of sword Dao experts and young talents from the other five sects!

This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunity; two of you three use swords, and even if you don't use swords, you can still comprehend the Dao through the sword!

As your master, I naturally have to think for you!"

Ye Batian and Ma Xiaohua looked at each other and asked: "Alright! Why does Senior Daoist Kutan want to borrow our Ten Thousand Swords Dragon Pool? What kind of place is the Ten Thousand Swords Dragon Pool?"

Nangong Liluo showed a look of "children can be taught" on her face, crossed her arms and said: "This Ten Thousand Swords Dragon Pool, it's at Wuyang Peak, it's an ancient wonder; it is rumored that many years ago, ten thousand sword cultivators fought an evil dragon, and as a result, both perished, forming a water pool..."

Ma Xiaohua interrupted: "Master, this story cannot withstand scrutiny; it's as casual and illogical as 'once upon a time there was a mountain, and on the mountain there was a temple'!"

"Why do you care if it's logical or not?" Nangong Liluo was furious, "You just need to know that it can test a person's sword intent and the level of their swordsmanship; it is a top-tier sword Dao cultivation treasure land. In two months, Kutan and the sword cultivators of the other five sects will come, and as the host, the sword cultivators of the Tianyuan Sect will definitely have to follow along to appreciate the sword!

I want to secure a spot for you, so all of you go and watch the sword and comprehend the Dao for me!"

Ye Batian hesitated: "You... are so kind? I don't believe it!"

Nangong Liluo laughed: "Made a small bet with those two women, Liu Hanchun and Su Jianren; you don't need to worry about the specifics, hahaha..."

"Knew it!" Ma Xiaohua and Ye Batian sighed.

Nangong Liluo looked at Heng Xian, who had been reading the letter: "Little brat, stop thinking about girls there; Yuan Dan Realm has a long lifespan, playing with girls too early is not conducive to cultivation!"

Heng Xian put away the letter and changed his posture: "If I don't play with girls, what should I play with?"

Nangong Liluo was stunned and speechless for a while before saying: "Play with swords! In two months, I will secure a spot for you!"

"No time, boring, not going!"

Heng Xian got up and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.

"Junior Martial Uncle is so cool and domineering! I must find a Dao companion like Junior Martial Uncle in the future!" Liuli's eyes sparkled.

"Quite a personality!" Nangong Liluo also got up decisively, "Meeting adjourned, it's settled!"

"Xiu—"

Kuliu Peak's back peak, Kushui Pool.

Sword Qi whistled, rolling up hundred-foot giant waves; the spray tumbled, briefly forming a peculiar "Sword" character wave.

Then the sword sound was ear-piercing; the Chi Mei Sword streaked across the sky and inserted itself into a boulder with a "ceng" sound, the hilt vibrating and humming, and more than a dozen mountain bamboos on both sides of the boulder had dense sword marks on them.

Heng Xian sat cross-legged under the boulder, raised his right hand, and took out a dagger with his left hand to cut it, but it only left a white mark and did not cut through.

A hint of joy appeared in his eyes; the first layer of the Eight-Nine Profound Art body-refining scroll was completed, and ordinary blades and swords could not enter!

He had been back for more than two months, and the opportunities obtained from the Jianhai ruins were progressing well in all aspects.

The "Spirit Controlling Wonderful Dao" was being experimented on "Goudan," and the effect was good.

The "Benevolent Sword" and "Punishment Sword" in the "Nine Swords of Devouring Heaven" had been mastered, only missing the essence of that heaven-obtained swordsmanship!

Now the first layer of the Eight-Nine Profound Art body-refining scroll was also completed.

It's just... only the natal magic treasure was not working.

The "Ruyi God-Slaying Spear" had been modified beyond recognition, but that thick spear intent and killing intent still could not be completely erased.

Thinking of this, he took out the "Ruyi God-Slaying Spear".

The spear body trembled, the killing intent became heavier, and it permeated the surroundings.

The originally pitch-black spear handle had turned gray and had become short and thick; this was burned and melted using dozens of iron ores according to the plan given by the Heavenly Hexagram.

It's just that it took too much time, and it could only change the shape, but could not extinguish the intent on it. Now it was not even half modified; as for what the final shape would be, it depended on his mood!

Just as he was about to put it away, he saw a graceful figure flying over from the bamboo sea in the mountain stream between Kuliu Peak and "Yaotian Peak," like a fairy in the forest.

Lin Shuyu?

Heng Xian hadn't seen her since he returned from Jianhai.

What is she doing here at this time?

After thinking for a while, he immediately put away the "Ruyi God-Slaying Spear" and the Chi Mei Sword on the boulder above, flashed, and swept down.

Arriving in the bamboo forest in the mountain stream, what met his eyes was a clear mountain stream and patches of steaming hot springs.

Heng Xian was stunned for a moment, inexplicably thinking of four years ago, when he ran here because he had just changed his cultivation art, and when he sank to the bottom of the water, he saw that back.

It is no exaggeration to say that in his two lives combined, that was the first time he truly saw a girl's back.

That delicate and fair back, that look back, the light blue eyes, and the face that was not like a mortal's, had a great impact on him.

Now, Senior Sister Lin Shuyu, is she here to bathe again?

This...

Is it appropriate?
