Chapter 23: First Foray into Sword Tower

  Wow!

  Wang Xuanyang opened his eyes, with an inexplicable sense of regret in his heart. Unfortunately, he had not borrowed the power of that sword symbol seed to condense his life symbol imprint in one go.

  However, he quickly recovered. This sword symbol was inherited and not personally condensed by him. It seems to lack some fire timing!

  The strange phenomenon in the great hall disappeared, and everyone came back to their senses.

  Those seven newly appointed inner disciples of Tiān Jiàn Peak were all staring at Wáng Xuányáng, they had seen the strange phenomenon earlier, although they didn't know what it represented, but judging from Xīng Jiàn's expression, it seemed to be a huge opportunity!

  They envied him, wondering why they couldn't encounter such good things themselves?

  "Alright, now that you've finished paying respects to your ancestors, from this day forward, you are officially disciples of the Heavenly Sword Peak."

  Xing Jian looked deeply at Wang Xuanyang and then spoke up.

  Everyone's attention was drawn over.

  "But don't think that just because you've become an inner disciple, you can rest easy. The competition within the inner circle is fierce, and if you can't keep up, there's still a possibility that you'll be eliminated."

  Xing Jian's tone turned serious.

  Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

  The cruelty of the inner gate, they had all heard about it long ago. Many disciples couldn't adapt and had to leave in dejection.

  "Later on, someone will take you to where you'll be staying."

  Xing Jian Sheng finished speaking and his body moved, transforming into a sword light that disappeared without a trace.

  Left behind were Wang Xuan Yang and eight others, all looking at each other in dismay.

  Before long, everyone's eyes lit up and they saw a red ball rolling in. At the same time, a thunder-like voice boomed: "Fatty, I'm here!"

  Everyone stared, and only then did they see clearly that the red ball was actually a person, who was so fat as to be unimaginable, with a height and width that were almost identical, small eyes, small nose, small ears, and small mouth, all of which were almost submerged in flesh.

  Bare-headed, wearing a big red robe with a festive atmosphere.

  It's really too distinctive.

  The most incredible thing is that this lucky fat man has a coarse and rough voice, like thunder.

  Wang Xuanyang and others were all stunned.

  This fat guy is actually an inner disciple of Tianjian Peak?

  This big fat man seemed to have anticipated the reaction of the crowd and didn't mind, with a smile on his face, his small eyes narrowed into a slit.

  "Which junior fellow was it just now who stirred up the ancestral master's spirit?"

  The fat man's eyes swept over several people.

  Whoosh!

  Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Xuanyang.

  "Haha, not bad, able to summon the ancestor's spirit, really extraordinary! By the way, I'm Yan Bao, you can call me Master Yan or Brother Bao, of course, I like it best when you call me Brother Bao."

  Dà Pàng Zǐ approached familiarly and patted Wang Xuanyang's shoulder.

  Everyone dared not to be slow, and they hastily addressed Yan as "Shixiong" (older brother).

  No one calls him Fatty Brother, who knows if this Fatty Brother is really so generous, being cautious never hurts.

  "Fat brother."

  Wang Xuanyang's heart moved slightly, but he didn't call out to Yan Shixiong.

  "Haha, this junior brother is indeed straightforward, I like it. Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to the Sword Tower first."

  Yan Bo burst out laughing and became more and more pleased with Wang Xuanyang.

  All the way, Fat Brother was very close to Wang Xuan Yang, explaining many things about Tian Jian Peak, which made others regretful. If they had known earlier, they would have called Fat Brother, and they could have gotten Fat Brother's favor!

  In this inner circle, if you can befriend an old man, it will definitely bring great benefits.

  After walking for half a moment, the group arrived in front of a huge treasure pagoda.

  This pagoda is extremely large, towering into the clouds, and from the outside it looks like a sharp sword thrusting straight up into the sky, emitting a dazzling treasure light. Moreover, the higher you go, the more intense the treasure light becomes, and faintly visible within this light are countless symbols being born and destroyed.

  "Everyone, we've arrived. This is the Sword Tower, a very important place for cultivation in our Tianjian Peak. Every new inner disciple must first pass through the Sword Tower."

  Fat master rubbed his hands together and smiled: "Hehe, this Sword Tower has a total of ninety-nine floors."

  "Fat Master Brother, what mysteries lie within these caves?"

  Wang Xuanyang's heart moved and he hastily asked.

  He didn't think that Fat Brother would say such things for no reason, and this sword tower was extraordinary at first glance, there must be some mystery.

  "Haha, Brother Xuan Yang, you've finally asked the crucial question."

  "Ah, brother," said the fat master with a sly smile. "In our cultivation, we emphasize the four essential elements: wealth, companionship, method, and location. Wealth refers to various resources for cultivation; companionship refers to the relationships between masters and disciples within the sect; method refers to the transmission of skills and techniques; and location refers to the place where one cultivates, which is also the foundation of the sect. These four elements are indispensable, and lacking any one of them will make the path of cultivation much more difficult. This Sword Tower has 99 levels, each filled with an invisible sword intent that allows people to constantly perceive the sword intent at all times, bringing immense benefits to those cultivating the sword symbol way. However, this invisible sword intent also exerts a tremendous pressure and intimidation on one's soul and spirit, which can cause harm if one cannot withstand it. Nevertheless, the intensity of the invisible sword intent varies from level to level in the Sword Tower, with each higher level having stronger sword intent, resulting in better effects for cultivating the sword symbol way."

  Everyone's eyes lit up, although they had not yet cultivated the way of sword symbols, but as inner door disciples, they would inevitably obtain the cultivation method of the way of sword symbols. If they entered the Sword Tower with sword intent, their cultivation of the way of sword symbols would definitely have great benefits.

  They were all elites who stood out from tens of thousands of registered outer sect disciples, with extremely high talent and naturally having a hundredfold confidence, thinking they had the ability to ascend the Sword Tower, the only question being which floor.

  Even Wang Xuan Yang is no exception.

  Fat Master looked at the eager expressions of the crowd, knowing their thoughts, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. Those who had the opportunity to enter the Sword Tower were likely only Wang Xuanyang, and it was possible that he would only reach the first floor. As for the second floor, it was almost impossible.

  As for others, the chances are slim.

  However, he didn't remind every newcomer that they might have the same thoughts as him, and even if he himself was the same, only after experiencing a setback would he truly understand his own position.

  At this time, many inner disciples also gathered outside the Sword Tower, and it was clear that they all knew that a new inner disciple had joined.

  Moreover, many people saw the manifestation of the ancestral master's spirit earlier.

  The new disciple who can evoke the spirit of the ancestors is among these nine people.

  So they all want to see how these new people perform.

  More and more people gathered outside the Sword Tower, at least hundreds of them, all of whom were inner disciples of the Heavenly Sword Peak. The number of inner disciples of the Heavenly Sword Peak was relatively small, if it were the Wan Jie, Jiu Xie, Sheng Xiang or Shen Niao Peaks, the number of inner disciples would be much larger, at least several times that of the Heavenly Sword Peak, even the Bu Yan and Bu Lao Peaks had more disciples than the Heavenly Sword Peak.

  Surrounded by so many elderly people, it is impossible for newcomers like Wang Xuanyang to say that they are not nervous. They all held their breath and wanted to make a good impression, standing firmly in the inner gate.
