Chapter 22: The Ancestor's Spirit Appears

  "What's up, little brother?"

  Fu Xuantian was shocked, "Xingjian Sheng, what did you just mean? When did Wang Xuanyang become your junior brother?"

  The other peaks' Zongzus also seemed to have heard something unbelievable and were shocked.

  Wang Xuanyang was perplexed, when did he become Xingjian Sheng's junior apprentice?

  This is a strong man comparable to the Symbolic level, and I have just entered the Symbolic Warrior, with a difference of several major levels from the Symbolic level!

  "Because of my teacher, preparing to accept Wang Xuanyang as a closed-door disciple!"

  Xing Jian was overjoyed and burst out laughing.

  "Xing Jian Sheng, don't talk nonsense! The master of Tianjian Peak is a dignified existence, how could he casually accept disciples? Moreover, Wang Xuan Yang has not even joined Tianjian Peak yet, so how could the master possibly take him as his disciple?"

  Fu Xuantian burst out laughing coldly.

  The nine main peaks of Bu Yanfeng are all extremely powerful existences, far beyond what ordinary symbols like them can compare to.

  Especially the master of Tiānjiàn Peak, can be said to be the first in combat power among the Unspoken Sect, even if it is not the master of Unspoken Peak, but the sect master of Unspoken Sect, has also said that the master of Tiānjiàn Peak has gone further than him.

  The fact that such a terrifying existence would accept an apprentice is simply shocking news.

  Although Wang Xuanyang was a stunning talent, this was only demonstrated in this test. Even during the recorded assessment, he only possessed extraordinary talent, which, although precious, was not enough to prompt a peak master to take him on as a disciple ahead of time.

  Still need to go through various tests before making a decision.

  The other cultivators nodded one after another, apparently thinking that Xingjian was talking nonsense again.

  "Haha, you think my teacher is as blind as you guys? He's a wise and discerning person who can spot precious gems! Younger brother, bring out the Tianwen seal that your teacher gave you!"

  Xing Jian was completely unbothered and smiled.

  "What is the Heavenly Question Ring?"

  Wang Xuanyang became more and more bewildered.

  When did he have the Qīng Tiān Huán (Heavenly Ring), and what is the Qīng Tiān Huán anyway?

  He only had one ring, which was an ordinary Su Mi Na ring. Although it was precious, it seemed that it was only significant to the Symbol Masters and Symbol Grandmasters who reached the Symbol Sect's first level, so he didn't think much of it.

  "Little Shidi, it's that Xumi Na ring that was awarded to you as the first prize in the merit assessment!"

  Xing Jian was born with a smile.

  "Could it be that the Susano'o no Mikoto is actually the Ame no Murakumo?"

  Wang Xuanyang was shocked.

  "Of course, the original first prize was just the entry symbol and tool, but that ring was given by the teacher, it's a proof of being accepted as a disciple. With this ring, even if other peak masters or sect masters, or those senior elders, won't rush to accept you as their disciple. Originally, the teacher planned to let me practice in the inner door for a while, but I didn't expect something like this would happen today, so I can only tell the truth."

  Xing Jian was laughing and said.

  Wang Xuanyang was completely stunned, never expecting that this Xumi Naren actually belonged to the teacher of Xing Jian's birth, no wonder there was an extra Xumi Naren!

  He hastily raised his head, and with a movement of his mind, the hidden Sudarshana Chakra on his finger appeared.

  Xingjian Sheng suddenly pointed with his finger, a beam of light shot in, and the Su Mi Na ring instantly emitted a brilliant light, thoroughly revealing its true appearance. It was no longer as ordinary as before, with countless strange patterns carved on it, and two twisted characters - "Ask Heaven".

  These two words "ask heaven" are filled with endless profound meaning!

  However, it only lasted for a moment, and Xingjian recovered his radiance. The Tianwen ring returned to normal and became ordinary again.

  Wang Xuanyang was stunned, he had not expected that this seemingly ordinary Xumi ring would have such a profound effect. Under the stimulation of the light just now, he could feel the internal changes in the Wen Tian ring, the space was greatly expanded, and faintly visible in the depths of space were many symbols flashing randomly.

  It seems that what he originally saw was only the surface of the Qiantianjie, and there are still many deeper secrets that have not been uncovered.

  "Could it really be the Tian Xun Seal?"

  Fu Xiantian of Buzhen Peak was completely stunned.

  He knew that Wang Xuanyang's joining of the Heavenly Sword Peak was now unstoppable.

  Nonsense! The disciple of the master of Tianjian Peak, who dares to snatch? Isn't this stirring up trouble on Ta Sui's head?

  The other peak's Zongzhu strongmen no longer had any thoughts.

  Thus, Wang Xuanyang formally became an inner disciple of Tianjian Peak.

  Wang Xuanyang had a thought flash through his mind, if he had chosen another peak earlier, he wondered if Xing Jian would have exposed the fact that Tianjian Peak's master had accepted him as a disciple.

  But he didn't ask.

  As the assessment came to an end and the allocation of disciples was completed, the people from each peak returned to their respective mountains with their own inner door disciples.

  This time among the inner disciples, Tiān Jiàn Fēng recruited a total of eight, including Wáng Xuányáng.

  The disciples of Tiānjiàn Peak are the least among all peaks, no wonder, the way of Tiānfú is originally the most difficult to enter, and it also incorporates the way of Rényǐn, so it's equivalent to combining two ways of symbols, making it even more difficult.

  Whoosh!

  A sword light shot up into the sky and quickly disappeared into the distance.

  In this sword light, there were eight newly promoted inner door disciples including Wang Xuanyang.

  The sword light pierced through the clouds, cutting through the wind and clouds, with a speed that seemed to split the air, and it was unknown how high it had reached in the sky. Soon, in the endless sea of clouds, there was a floating mountain peak, which rose like a sharp sword piercing the sky, and from afar, one could feel an overwhelming power that destroyed everything.

  And around the mountain peaks that are as sharp as swords, there is a boundless river of swords surrounding it, majestic and resplendent, shocking heaven and earth, simply indescribable.

  Wang Xuanyang never thought that the nine peaks of the inner gate would actually be floating in mid-air.

  Such a huge mountain peak, I don't know how many tons it weighs, can actually float in the air, it's really unimaginable, what kind of terrifying great magic power is needed to achieve this.

  No wonder a cultivator of the Dao can move mountains and seas, destroy heaven and earth once they reach a high level. The floating mountain peak in front of us explains everything.

  The sword light entered the river of swords, just like a drop of water merging into the ocean, without stirring up any ripples.

  If it is an invasion of external forces, this endless sword river will surely counterattack.

  When the sword light dissipated, Wang Xuanyang and others found themselves standing on top of a huge hall.

  On this hall, a huge statue of god stands tall, it is a white-clad young man, with a calm expression, as if looking up at something, on his waist, a long sword hangs prominently, overall, it looks like a scholar wearing a sword.

  However, from this statue, Wang Xuanyang felt a kind of emptiness and grandeur, with an unstoppable aura.

  "This is the ancestral hall of my Tianjian Peak, all inner disciples who join must first pay homage to their ancestors. Without our ancestors, there would be no Tianjian Peak. Alright, now kneel down in front of the ancestor's statue and kowtow three times!"

  Xing Jian said calmly.

  Wang Xuanyang and others did the same.

  After three loud knocks on the head, the statue suddenly emitted a brilliant light, and a faint shadowy figure emerged, which was a white-clad scholar.

  Xing Jian saw this scene and was also stunned.

  "It's actually the ancestor's spirit manifestation!"

  Xing Jian was muttering to himself.

  As the deity manifested its divine presence and radiated brilliant light, this light even emanated from the Ancestral Hall and enveloped the entire sky above it.

  The ancestor's spirit appeared, and this news spread throughout the entire Tianjian Peak in an instant.

  In an instant, many Tianjian Peak disciples rushed over, and even several figures flew in on their swords.

  To be able to reach the level of riding a sword, one must be a strong Symbol-level cultivator. Of course, Xingjian was an exception.

  "What, the Ancestor is manifesting his spirit? The last time the Ancestor manifested his spirit was over a hundred years ago, when Master had just joined our Tianjian Peak. Could it be that among this batch of newly joined inner disciples, there is another extraordinary talent? To think that even with Star Shidi's exceptional talent, he didn't manage to make the Ancestor manifest his spirit!"

  "Ancestor's spirit appears, I heard it is a sign to choose the next peak master, that means the next peak master must be born from this batch of new disciples, who exactly is it?"

  "Who would have thought that I'd be so lucky as to see our ancestor's spirit appear!"

  "The Ancestor's spirit has manifested, I didn't think it was real. It is said that when the Ancestor sat in meditation, he used his profound understanding of the Tao to condense a sword symbol seed, which belongs to the legendary Sword Tao principles. This was merged into the Ancestor's statue, and once the Ancestor's spirit manifests, the chosen one will receive the most powerful symbol inheritance from Tianjian Peak. This is a symbol inheritance that only the Peak Master can cultivate, and it is the most core and perfect one."

  Many of the Tianjian Peak disciples, even those few Yu Zong-level powerhouses, were discussing it, their shock at the appearance of the Ancestor's spirit evident.

  "Unexpectedly, the ancestor chose the younger brother?"

  Xing Jian was also slightly surprised.

  He naturally knew the intention of the ancestor's manifestation.

  At this time, the white-robed virtual shadow on the statue slowly walked out and came to Wang Xuan Yang's face, stretched out his hand to touch Wang Xuan Yang's head.

  Wang Xuanyang's body seemed to be locked up, and he couldn't move at all. He could only stare blankly as the illusory figure reached out to touch his head.

  In an instant, he felt a shock in his mind, and the 365 talismans began to rotate. It seemed as if endless mysteries were pouring into him from that palm.

  In the center of the vortex of symbols, a sword-like seed shadow gradually condensed out.

  At this moment, Wang Xuanyang's mind was transparent, and he had already understood that he was receiving the inheritance of his ancestors.

  The Xuanwu Sword is the legacy of the Tianjian Peak, and the core foundation symbol is the Xuanwu Sword.

  Only by mastering this sword symbol can one truly enter the gate.

  This inheritance of the transmission can obtain the true essence of the transmission, which is the most perfect and core symbol of the Tianjian Peak.

  Other disciples do not have this qualification.

  Rumble!

  It was unknown how long had passed when the white-robed figure suddenly dispersed, transforming into a ball of light that completely merged into Wang Xuan Yang's body.

  In Wang Xuan Yang's mind, a sword symbol condensed and became the central hub of all symbols, becoming the core of this vortex. However, what made Wang Xuan Yang curious was that although the sword symbol had condensed, there wasn't a single true innate sword symbol.

  The Tianjian Peak's Xuan Dao inheritance is that after the sword symbol species is condensed, a change will occur. With the sword symbol as the core and the 365 basic symbols as the auxiliary, a Benming Sword Symbol Species Seed will be condensed.

  The sword symbol has now condensed, but it hasn't condensed into a true sword symbol seed.

  How did it end up like this?

  "What's going on? The sword symbol seed left by the ancestors, how could it completely merge into Wang Xuan Yang's body?"

  Xing Jian was shocked.

  Some other insightful and powerful beings also saw the problem.

  Originally, the sword token seeds left by the ancestors were extremely powerful and could be passed down from generation to generation. Moreover, after each inheritance, they would automatically grow stronger, so there was no possibility of them disappearing. These sword token seeds represented the core heritage of Tianjian Peak, and if they were to disappear, it would mean that Tianjian Peak's heritage would become incomplete.

  Now, the sword symbol seeds left by the ancestors suddenly scattered and merged into Wang Xuan Yang's body.

  This is also unthinkable.

  At this time, a yellow-shirted figure appeared in the void of Tianjian Peak, looking down.

  "The ancestral master's sword symbol seed has completely merged into Wang Xuan Yang's body, could it be that the ancestral master's teachings are true, and only by fully merging his sword symbol seed can one obtain his true legacy."

  The young man in yellow muttered to himself.

  He has always been puzzled by this ancestral training, and so have the generations of Feng masters.

  Nobody knows what the true heritage of the ancestors is.

  Suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed, "What's going on? Wang Xuanyang has fully merged with the ancestral sword symbol seed, by all accounts, he should be able to condense his own innate sword symbol seed, why hasn't it succeeded yet? Is there something related to the true inheritance?"

  No one knew that as the sword symbol seeds left by the ancestors merged into Wang Xuan Yang's mind, the hidden Qitian ring on his fingers trembled slightly, and some kind of strange change occurred inside.

  This change was something even the young man in yellow couldn't sense.
