Chapter 625: Stumbling for the Sword (Thanks to the leader of "Book Friend...29335")
The poisonous insects were flying around, and Heishuizi was sitting cross-legged in the depths of the sword garden, practicing quietly, looking for the opportunity to form his own elixir.
Yu Lie and others, on the other hand, moved step by step towards the brightest place in the Sword Garden.
Soon, he came to a distance of only a thousand feet away from the true bodies of the three sword masters.
As far as his eyes could see, there were densely packed swords, and some of the swords exuded an aura far beyond that of a Taoist alchemist, highly suspected to be an inheritance from the immortal level.
All the Taoists who rushed to the vicinity had eager looks in their eyes.
"The outside is just some scraps, and this is the essence of the Sword Garden."
“If I can obtain a legacy here, there will be hope for the path to enlightenment and immortality!”
Excited voices buzzed nearby.
There was also a gleam of light in Yu Lie's eyes, but he did not immediately move closer to the thousand-foot range.
Because in addition to the groups of Taoists gathering nearby, there were also terrifying sword intentions circling.
If outside the range of a thousand feet, the Taoist will only be immersed in the illusion when he touches the swords in the sword garden with his hands, then within the range of a thousand feet, there is a mixture of many sword intents, and as long as one steps into it, he will experience the tempering of various sword intents.
Suddenly, when Yu Lie was holding back and pondering the severity of the situation, a Taoist not far away couldn't help himself, mustered up his courage, and walked towards the thousand-foot range.
The opponent's actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone around, even the three sword masters of the Immortal Palace and the Danshu Immortal in the center.
But after he took a few steps, a look of fear appeared on his face, with alternating blue and white colors.
He stood there in a daze for dozens of breaths before he suddenly came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and walked forward again.
But when it passed by a sword, there was a clanging sound.
The sword trembled, and a sword energy flew out from the sword and landed on the Taoist.
A scream was heard.
The Taoist's clothes were torn into pieces. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then quickly retreated with a pale face.
This scene frightened the Taoists around a little.
"Didn't they say that the successor is chosen purely based on mental fortitude? How come that broken sword hurt someone?!"
Some people grumbled in anger, while others looked thoughtful:
"Could it be that if one wants to go deep into the sword garden and obtain the top inheritance, one will be tested by all the swords that one passes by on the way?"
At this moment, the Immortal-Exterminating Sword Master's chuckle could be heard from the sky above the center of the Sword Garden:
"Listen, disciples. The Sword Garden Trial mainly selects disciples based on their will, Dao heart, and sword heart. But if you want to practice sword well, you naturally need a strong body. Even if you are not good at the body, it cannot be too bad. Otherwise, if you can't even hold the sword steadily, how can you talk about practicing sword?"
After giving a warning with a smile, the Immortal-Destroying Sword Master sighed:
"In the past, sword cultivators valued the sword more than the body. There was also a method of combining the body with the sword that evolved from the weapon cultivators. Many sword cultivators often neglected themselves, so it was difficult for them to achieve immortality, or they were controlled by the sword. The reason why my Chaos Immortal Palace is called the Immortal Palace instead of the Sword Palace is that it has gotten rid of the shackles of the past. What we cultivate is the way of the immortal sword. The immortal is in front of the sword, and we seek immortality with the sword, not hindering immortality with the sword.
If you don't have a solid foundation, you should retreat first, lest you inherit a powerful sword technique, only to end up getting hurt by it and destroying your life."
These words, when heard by everyone, made everyone think deeply.
Yu Lie thought to himself:
"No wonder the world says that sword cultivators tend to have short lives. It turns out that it's not just that those who are too strong tend to break easily, but also because sword cultivators are easily destroyed by sword techniques and sword weapons. So, when selecting disciples, the Chaos Immortal Palace not only values their spirit, but also their body. This palace has considered the future of its disciples from the very beginning. Judging from this method of doing things, the Chaos Immortal Palace is indeed a good place."
Just as Yu Lie was thinking, another Taoist summoned up his courage, and the other party burst into laughter:
"To reply to your words, Your Excellency, you value the physical body, right? The physical body happens to be what I am good at."
The man stamped his feet violently, and the blood in his body surged up. Two huge horns grew on his head, and he growled, "It seems that someone is going to get some advantage."
With a bang, this person's figure flashed. Instead of walking step by step towards the center of the sword garden, he chose to jump suddenly and fall within a thousand feet range. Then he swung his arms and started running with big strides, intending to rush to the center in one breath.
But after running about a hundred steps, the clothes on the Taoist with ox horns were shredded by the sword energy all around him, revealing his muscular body.
A look of struggle appeared on his face, and he continued to roar loudly, as if there was a small mouse crawling under his skin. His body swelled inch by inch, as if he was about to reveal his demonic body.
However, the more intense sword energy lingered on his body, forcibly suppressing his energy and blood back into his body, making him feel extremely aggrieved. His face turned red, and he could no longer mobilize more magic power. His steps also stopped in mid-air.
With a loud bang, the Taoist priest with ox horns' strength was lost and his body was knocked over. He flew back dozens of steps, his breath weak and it was obvious that he had reached his limit just now.
However, he did not retreat from the thousand-foot range in shame like the previous man. Instead, he moved closer, found a sturdy sword, leaned against it, and wanted to inherit the swordsmanship.
When the people outside saw the second person's situation, some were happy and some were worried, with some showing admiration or contempt on their faces.
"I'll try too."
"Haha! This guy is so good at talking, but he can only go this far. Just wait and see!"
Whoosh, the other Taoists could no longer hold back and jumped into the sword garden a thousand feet deep, and walked towards the three sword masters' real bodies, either staggering or walking briskly.
Yu Lie was mixed in the crowd, and he also walked into the thousand-foot range at the same time.
But it's totally different from others.
Yu Lie walked in, and the blood and energy in his body moved slightly, and he repelled the sword intent and sword energy that were surging like a tide from all around him.
If other people seemed to be walking in raging waves, he at most seemed to be walking in shallow water less than knee-deep, feeling a little uncomfortable.
However, Yu Lie was not in a hurry to show his uniqueness. Instead, he took steady steps, staying in the middle and lower reaches of the crowd, and slowly walked towards the depths.
At this time, where the three sword masters' true bodies were, the three sword intentions, plus Dan Shuzi's immortal consciousness, were lurking and chatting with each other.
"Not bad, not bad. It is worthy of being a seed selected from a bloody battle that happens once every ten thousand years. It is spirited enough, murderous enough, and the quality of its body is also acceptable. In my opinion, this time in the sword garden, there will be several seeds with the potential to produce top-grade pills."
But there was another faint comment: "Not bad. With the nourishment of the vast amount of ancient spiritual energy in the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, if they don't even have this ability, the bloody battle would be in vain."
When Zhu Xian Sword Master heard these words, a look of displeasure appeared on the face of the young man he transformed into.
However, he was too lazy to get mad at the old man, the Immortal Slayer Sword Master. He just raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the Danshu Immortal who was watching on the side, and said with a smile:
"I'm afraid that the number of disciples who can join my Immortal Palace this time will be more than in the past. Fellow Daoist Danshu, if you return empty-handed, will you break your promise and refuse to leave?"
Upon hearing this, Danshu Immortal turned his head to look at the three sword masters with a look of surprise and embarrassment on his face, as if he was really worried that he couldn't bring even one person back and would not be able to explain himself.
But in fact, this beast sneered in his heart:
"I have already given the face that should be given to that Shen Linzi. Whether you take it back or not has nothing to do with me. It has only to do with you causing trouble in the Immortal Palace. Anyway, Shen Linzi will only remember you if he has a grudge."
Danshu Immortal lowered his eyes, looking at the sword garden that was constantly fluctuating below, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes:
"On the contrary, if you can help me see the real situation of this place later, then my mission will be overfulfilled."
Immediately, he secretly sent out a spiritual sense and flew towards a certain direction, hoping that the other party would cooperate actively.
Soon, when the Taoists in the Sword Garden were walking towards the center of the Sword Garden in an orderly manner, an old voice sounded again:
"Since he is the son of a thousand-year bloody battle, how can he be so calm as in previous years? Let's test him more!"
This voice was from the Immortal-Slaying Sword user. As soon as he finished speaking, the originally peaceful sword garden suddenly began to shake violently.
Yu Lie and others who were fighting against the sword intent in the garden fell to the ground one by one, and many of them bumped their heads against the swords on the left and right, causing bloody head injuries.
Only a few people like Yu Lie, whose foundations were extremely solid, had their feet firmly rooted and were not knocked to the ground by the shaking ground.
Yu Lie suddenly raised his head and looked towards the center of the sword garden. He immediately saw a deep crack that spread outward like a spider web.
The source of this power was a huge sword that was hundreds of feet tall. It was shaking and trembling, slowly pulling itself up from the ground, causing the earth to shake.
"伱!"
This movement surprised both the Immortal-Slaying Sword User and the Immortal-Destroying Sword User.
Even the Immortal-killing Sword Master couldn't help but say, "Luke the Immortal, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of disturbing the Sword Garden... and making a mistake?"
The old voice of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Master said calmly, "Don't worry. You are still young and have never experienced the last bloody battle of ten thousand years. You don't understand that true gold must be refined by fire. Besides, do you really think that I am just making things difficult for those little guys? Look!"
Upon hearing this, the Zhuxian Sword User and the Miexian Sword User calmed down a little and looked towards the ground of the sword garden again with suspicion. They immediately discovered sword lights leaking out from the cracks created by the other party.
The Taoists below screamed again under the blows of the sword energy that emerged from the ground.
But at the same time, the swords all over the ground also changed from a dormant state to an active state, and the sword light became brighter.
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Master's light shout spread throughout the Sword Garden:
"My friends, all the swords in the Sword Garden are now disturbed by me. I am responsible for a lot of the consequences. Hurry up and seize the opportunity to find the king of swords and enjoy a great chance!"
It said something to Yu Lie and the others, and then replied to the Immortal Executioner and the Immortal Destroyer in a light voice:
"There are many inheritances in the sword tomb that are dormant or buried underground. Unless disturbed by external forces, they will not appear on the surface."
As expected, as the sword energy poured out, swords that had been buried in the ground appeared in the cracks on the ground. Many swords even made clear sounds and flew directly into the air, dancing wildly.
This made the Sword Master Zhuxian and the Sword Master Miexian look at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what to say next.
Judging from the results, although Lu Xian's action had the risk of disturbing the Palace Master's retreat, it did awaken almost all the swords in the garden and help this group of disciples entering the palace.
So the two of them could only suppress their suspicion and watch from the sidelines.
What the two of them didn't know was that when the Sword Master of Immortal Slaying pulled his real body out from the center of the sword garden, the Danshu Immortal who seemed to be behaving well on the surface was actually secretly impatient and had spread his spiritual consciousness into the cracks in the sword garden, exploring frantically towards the ground.
The Danshu Immortal looked calm and composed, but he was overjoyed in his heart, and he kept shouting:
"Good job, Immortal Slayer! If you succeed this time, I will definitely reward you for your great achievement after returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm."
This beast really didn't expect that the Immortal-Slaying Sword Master would cooperate so well. He just sent a message, and the other party found a reason without hesitation, and the surface of the sword garden collapsed automatically, which made it easier for him to investigate the true and false place where the Immortal of Disaster was in seclusion.
The fear expressed by the Sword Master Zhuxian and the Sword Master Miexian just now was an allusion to the fact that they were worried that the action of Luxian would disturb the retreat of the Immortal.
The ground collapsed within a thousand feet.
Yu Lie looked at the swords flying everywhere, and he immediately realized that now was a good opportunity for him to choose the top sword-fighting inheritance here.
So he no longer restrained his strength, but instead seized the opportunity and rushed straight to the center.
There were also some Taoists around who were quite powerful and quick-witted, and they also set out one after another. But their movements were not as fast as Yu Lie's.
The Taoist, who was originally far ahead of Yu Lie, found himself overtaken by Yu Lie in a few breaths. He was immediately shocked and looked at Yu Lie in disbelief.
When Yu Lie crossed a distance of several hundred feet at great speed, he had already arrived under the true bodies of the three sword masters. He immediately attracted the attention of the three sword masters, which made them stunned.
"what!"
"This kid moves so quickly?"
"His spirit and body are so strong?"
But Yu Lie was in the center of the sword garden. He looked at the powerful sword lights flying around him, but he just glanced at them and then looked away.
The swords that vibrated left and right, each of them had an aura that was not at the level of a magic weapon, but rather revealed the aura of immortals and immortal weapons.
But these are not what Yu Lie wants most!
After he withdrew his gaze, he cast his eyes directly at the thick crack in the ground that was created after the Immortal-Slaying Sword was pulled out by the user.
Without hesitation, Yu Lie relied on the power of the ancient witch's body and jumped straight into the crack in the ground...
