“What kind of person am I?”
The man instantly stormed out, saying very angrily, “How dare you ask me what I am? Are we still the Three Swordsmen of Style? Lin Yue, I, Xun Hua Liu, really misjudged you in the past, I didn’t expect you to forget all about the brotherhood between Fatty Mu and I once you became famous.”
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards the man called Xun Hua Liu, secretly guessing that he was probably Lin Yue’s foxy friend, so he silently memorised his name.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I haven’t forgotten it, naturally I won’t forget it.”
Xun Hua Liu was even more furious, her eyes glowing red as she clenched her teeth and said, “If you haven’t forgotten, why did you come back for so long and didn’t come to the Devil Suppressing Academy to look for me? Could it be that you’ve already forgotten the days when we indulged in flirtation together?”
Zhang Ruochen’s heart immediately gave birth to a vicious chill, frowning tightly, he said, “Indulging in a fling with you”
It was really unexpected that Lin Yue actually had this kind of hobby.
Xun Hua Liu obviously also knew that he had spoken too quickly and had skewed his meaning, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, “Of course, it’s not me and you, but, rather, we, the Three Swordsman of Flavours, have indulged in a love affair with all of our senior sisters. Could it be that you have forgotten all about it?”
“Haven’t forgotten, of course I haven’t.”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm.
Xun Hua Liu once again slapped Zhang Ruochen’s shoulder, the skin of his mouth turned out, revealing his white teeth as he laughed cheaply and sinisterly, “I knew that you definitely wouldn’t forget, those enchanting nights in the beginning, how can you just say you’ve forgotten them. Now that all of our Flavour Three Swordsmen have become Sacred Transmission Disciples, the days ahead will only get better faster.”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and chimed in, “That’s natural. What did you mean just now when you said that there would be a dragon fight today?”
Xun Hua Liu’s expression immediately turned serious as she said, “Could it be that you really don’t know?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head.
“Three days ago, you gave Pang Long a good beating, and the matter quickly spread throughout the Two Yi Sect, naturally causing Pang Long to lose face. It is said that Pang Long begged for a Fish Dragon Pill from his great uncle, the A.D. Dragon Half-Saint, and his cultivation broke through to the Fish Dragon Realm in one fell swoop. Yesterday, he had already let slip that he would fight you in a life and death duel on the day of the coronation ceremony.”Xun Hua Liu said.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, “So that’s how it is.”
Seeing that “Lin Yue” did not look nervous in the slightest, Xun Hua Liu immediately reminded, saying, “Pang Long was able to enter the top 100 of the Heavenly Ranking when he was at the Heavenly Extremity Realm. Now that he has broken through to the Fish Dragon Realm in one fell swoop, his strength is even more extraordinary. Xiao Yue, if Pang Long wants to fight you in a life and death duel, you mustn’t answer the fight, we’ll just ignore him.”
Not to mention that Pang Long’s cultivation had only broken through to the Fish Dragon First Transformation, even if his cultivation reached the Fish Dragon Ninth Transformation, Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t be afraid in the slightest.
Right now, Zhang Ruochen was also just hoping that the coronation ceremony would end earlier, and then, he would be able to go back and continue his cultivation.
Not long after, Han Qiu arrived at the dojo of the Shangqing Palace.
Immediately, the outer disciples and inner disciples of the entire Shangqing Palace all boiled up, shouting the name “Han Chu”.
Even Xun Hua Liu’s eyes were glowing with excitement, pulling Zhang Ruochen’s sleeve and saying, “See, see, see, one of the Four Beauties of the Two Element Sect, Han Chu. Tsk, how come you’re not excited at all to see the girl of your dreams? Didn’t you say before that if you could have a one night fling with Senior Sister Han Chu, you would rather live twenty years less.”
Zhang Ruochen slightly raised his eyelids and glanced in Han Chu’s direction.
Compared to three days ago, today’s Han Chu appeared even more elegant.
Even though, she wore several layers of dao robes, one could still see the shapely curves that came through inside the dao robes, it was simply beautiful to the extreme.
In the distance, an icy roar, came over, “Lin Yue, I didn’t expect us to meet again, so soon, right?”
Pang Long’s entire body exuded a powerful aura as he walked into the wide dojo, heading straight to where Zhang Ruochen was, standing opposite Zhang Ruochen.
“Hm.”Zhang Ruochen said.
When Pang Long saw that Zhang Ruochen’s face actually did not have the slightest hint of fear, his eyes immediately surged out with two chilling lights and said, “After the coronation ceremony, do you dare to fight me in a life and death duel?”
The words “life and death duel” were so loud that they shook the entire Shangqing Palace.
At once, the disciples outside the dojo became even more boisterous.
“When Senior Brother Pang Long was in the Inner Sect, he had the strength to strike the number one position in the Inner Sect. Now that he has reached the Fish Dragon First Transformation in one fell swoop, I’m afraid that even a cultivator of the Fish Dragon Third Transformation may not be his opponent.”
“Three days ago, Lin Yue relied on his cultivation at the Fish Dragon Realm to defeat Senior Brother Pang Long. Now that they are at the same realm, Senior Brother Pang Long will definitely teach Lin Yue a hard lesson to regain the lost face.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at Pang Long and said, “Why would I want to fight you in a life and death duel? Not only is it a waste of strength, it’s also a waste of my time.”
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen directly turned around and left, ascending the stone steps and standing underneath a Heavenly Ceremony Bronze Furnace, getting ready.
Naturally, Pang Long didn’t dare to make a move against Zhang Ruochen during the coronation ceremony, so he could only hold back the anger in his heart, secretly deciding that when the ceremony was over, no matter what, he would use means to force Lin Yue to duel with him.
This month, there were a total of seventeen newly promoted Fish Dragon Realm disciples who participated in the coronation ceremony.
In addition to Zhang Ruochen, Han Qiu, Pang Long, and Xun Hua Liu, there were thirteen other young cultivators, all of whom were at the cultivation level of the First Transformation of the Fish Dragon, and all of whom were under the age of sixty.
The coronation ceremony was presided over by a Half-Saint, and in addition to sacrificing to the successive sages of the Two Elemental Sect, a sacrificial text was also recited.
Up above, that one Half-Saint Ancestor finished reciting the sacrificial text and then said, “The Two Element Sect is one of the three major branches of the Taiji Dao, and was founded on the sword, inheriting the sword Dao of the Taiji Dao.”
“The successive generations of ancestors of the Two Yi Sect, in order for the sect to keep prospering and flourishing in its lineage, they would leave a sword intent inside the inner part of the Heaven Sacrificing Copper Cauldron when they reached the Half-Saint realm, Saint realm, Saint King realm, and Great Saint realm.”
“For the seventeen of you to be able to reach the Fish Dragon Realm before the age of sixty means that all of you are outstandingly talented individuals.”
“Therefore, you all have the opportunity to enter the Heaven Sacrificing Copper Cauldron to cultivate once. You will each seize the opportunity, and as long as your qualifications are excellent enough, you will be able to receive benefits that will last a lifetime.”
The coronation ceremony was not just as simple as changing into a dao robe and putting on a dao crown.
Now, it was the real coronation ceremony.
“I’ll go first.”
With a confident look, Xun Hua Liu took the first step to mount the Heaven Sacrifice Bronze Cauldron and leapt in.
Xun Hua Liu was only at the age of fifty-six when he broke through to the Fish Dragon Realm… if he had broken through a few years later, he wouldn’t have been qualified to become a Sacred Transmission Disciple…
“Wow!”
In the copper cauldron, a white pillar of light rushed out, surging up tens of feet high.
At the centre of the pillar of light, a silhouette slowly flew up, it was none other than Xun Hua Liu who had just jumped inside the copper tripod.
Thousands of points of light rushed out from the tripod, from the bottom up, like a river of points of light, rushing to the top of the clouds.
Afterwards, the river of light points surged back down from above, returning to the Heaven Sacrifice Copper Cauldron.
Each point of light represented a sword intent of an ancestor of the Two Element Sect.
The stronger the sword intent, the brighter the light point would be.
The higher the cultivator’s talent in the Dao of the Sword, the more they would be able to obtain the favour of the Ancestor, and the more powerful the fused Sword Intent, the more powerful it would be.
From the beginning to the end, Xun Hua Liu did not fuse a single point of light, and walked out from inside the Heaven Sacrificing Bronze Cauldron with his head hanging down, looking quite lost.
Zhang Ruochen glanced towards him and comforted him, saying, “Can’t you cultivate the Sword Dao without obtaining the Ancestor’s Sword Intent? Cheer up a bit.”
Xun Hua Liu raised his head, revealing a smile that was worse than a cry, “Even the Ancestor’s Sword Intent didn’t choose me, which means that I have no talent above the Sword Dao at all, and my chances of becoming a sword cultivator are already slim.”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said no more as he continued to observe the altar bronze cauldron, pondering in his mind how he could have a greater chance of obtaining the Ancestor’s Sword Intent.
Obviously, the Ancestor’s Sword Intent was quite a remarkable chance, and if he was able to seize this chance, it might, perhaps, be able to skyrocket his Sword Dao.
Immediately after that, there was another newly promoted Sacred Transmission disciple who entered the Heaven Sacrificing Copper Cauldron.
After a long time, this person also ended in failure, failing to obtain the Ancestor’s Sword Intent.
Pang Long was the third to ascend the Heaven Sacrificing Copper Cauldron.
“I’ll give it a try.”
Pang Long was very clear about the importance of the Ancestor’s Sword Intent, and Granduncle Tai had already told him that as long as he was able to obtain a single Ancestor’s Sword Intent, he would be able to receive the clan’s key cultivation, and most likely, he would be able to become a true Sword Cultivator in the Fish Dragon Realm.
At this moment, his emotions were so excited that his entire body tensed up, then he leapt into the bronze cauldron.
The crowd present, all of whom had great expectations for Pang Long, stared wide-eyed and watched carefully.
After all, Pang Long’s sword dao talent was indeed quite high, and if even he was unable to obtain a single Ancestor’s Sword Intent, there was even less hope for others.
“Wow.”
A moment later.
Pang Long and the pillar of light, together, flew up and hovered in mid-air.
“He’s dancing with a sword.”
Zhang Ruochen clearly saw that Pang Long’s fingers, pinched into a sword technique, were rehearsing his swordplay.
Suddenly, a white point of light flew up from below and rushed into Pang Long’s brow, fusing with his body.
In the Shangqing Palace, the Yuanlong Half-Saint’s face was very rosy as he let out a loud laugh, “Pang Long fused with the sword intent left behind by the Nine Ease Sage during the Half-Saint period 30,000 years ago, great, with Pang Long’s natural talent, in the future, he will definitely be able to become a powerful sword cultivator.”
Pang Long was Yuan Long Half-Saint’s junior, and Yuan Long Half-Saint was naturally quite joyful to see him fusing sword intent.
At the same time, the Yuan Long Half-Saint also had a few intentions to show off, after all, Pang Long being able to obtain the sword intent of an ancient Saint proved that Pang Long’s talent in the Dao of the Sword was quite astonishing.
The sword intent inside the Heaven Sacrificing Copper Cauldron was also divided into different grades:
First grade, the sword intent left behind by a Half Saint.
Second grade, the sword intent left behind by a Saint.
Third grade, the sword intent left behind by Saint Kings
Fourth grade, the sword intent left behind by a Great Saint.
What Pang Long had fused was the second grade of Sword Intent, “Sword Intent Left by a Saint”, and right now, he had only obtained the Sword Intent left behind by the Nine Ease Saints during the Half-Saint period.
As long as he completely fused this sword intent, in the future, he would have a second chance to enter the Heaven Sacrificing Copper Cauldron to fuse the sword intent left behind by the Nine Eccentric Saints during the Saint period.
In short, in a word, just obtaining a single sword intent was equivalent to obtaining an ancestral master’s initiation, which would allow him to comprehend the true meaning of the sword dao more easily.
The Sacred Maiden of Talent was also at the Upper Qing Palace, sitting on an equal footing with all the Half-Saints present.
Seeing Panglong’s excellent performance, she was slightly moved and smiled, “Just a once a month coronation ceremony can give birth to a Heaven’s Pride with such amazing talent in the Dao of the Sword, this visit to the Two Elemental Sect is truly an eye-opening experience for me.”
Hearing this, the Yuanlong Half-Saint instantly became even more complacent, and his gaze couldn’t help but stare over towards the Violet Cloud Half-Saint, saying, “Violet Cloud Half-Saint, I heard that your Violet Cloud Spirit Mountain has also given birth to a young genius, who killed the Phantom Blue Star Envoy with only the cultivation of the First Change of the Fish Dragon. I also wonder, are the rumours true?”
No one would believe that a young cultivator of the Fish Dragon First Transformation would be able to kill the renowned Phantom Blue Star Envoy.
The reason why the Yuanlong Half-Saint had said this out loud was actually a deliberate attempt to satirise the Violet Cloud Half-Saint and that one young disciple under the seat of the Violet Cloud Spirit Mountain.
Why was there an extra shift?
Because, today, the Ancient God Emperor reached two million words, isn’t it worth celebrating?
In less than a year, two million words have been written, don’t you all think that Little Fish is really diligent? Okay! I’m actually here to ask for votes, all kinds of votes.
