Some of the originally seated, extremely high-ranking Shixiongs, including Huo Sheng Shixiong, the lazy fat youth, and the black-clothed female youth, all stood up one by one, each revealing a shocked expression as they stared at the beast-skin-clad youth standing on the stone pillar.
Bei Shan Xuan Tang's face turned pale in an instant on another stone pillar inside the grand formation.
"Me? I lost?"
"How could I lose? How is it possible for me to lose?"
Bei Shan's eyes were filled with incredulity.
What a proud man he is.
Even if it were Beishan Baimei, a direct descendant of the noble Beishan clan, he wouldn't have looked down on him. It was because he had absolute confidence in himself. But a junior apprentice who had just entered the door, and was also extremely close to Beishan Baimei... actually defeated him in his rather confident 'debate'.
"It was just that one sword, that one sword..."
Beishan Xuantang's mind still vividly remembered the previous terrifying sword, a terrifying slash that was simultaneously executed by thousands of flying swords... even Beishan Xuantang's Dao heart had been slashed with a crack.
"How terrifying is this one sword, only by truly facing this sword can you feel its terror. One sword, no regrets, unstoppable." Beishan Xuantang's heart was in a state of panic, unwilling to believe that he would fail, but as soon as he thought of that one sword, he felt powerless.
"Ji Ning, win!" The white-haired old man shouted loudly, and the Sealing Grand Array also began to dissipate.
"Xuan Tang Shixiong, Cheng Rang." Ji Ning said loudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire Lunding Hall.
Bei Shan Xuan Tang finally came to, suppressing his turbulent thoughts, and cupped his hands: "Junior brother is indeed formidable, I must admit my inferiority." After saying that, he dispelled the puppet's refinement, and with a flash of movement, he had already exited the arena, directly handing the two jade bottles to the white-haired elder, before quietly merging into the crowd of many senior brothers and sisters.
……
"What a powerful sword." The lazy fat boy muttered to himself.
……
"In a few decades, our Black and White Academy will produce another formidable figure." The Fire Saint's face had a hint of a smile as he looked at Ji Ning.
……
The entire Taoist temple, only those two immortals truly understood the sword that Ji Ning had just unleashed!
"Kenki is clear! What a clear Kenki!" The old dwarf's eyes lit up, staring at Ki Ning in the distance. "Such a strong Kenki, such a firm Kenki... My Kokushiro Academy has really gained a treasure this time."
"It's a treasure indeed." Dian Cai Xianren also stared at Ji Ning in the distance, his eyes burning with intensity "I don't know how my disciple managed to temper such a strong sword heart in just over a decade, despite having only those experiences, although there were life and death separations. But that sword heart is incredibly powerful, it's truly unimaginable."
"Haha, look at that, those guys will probably be here soon." The old dwarf chuckled to himself.
The talented and immortal person also smiled.
"They will definitely regret it, regret not coming to the Temple of Taoism to see it with their own eyes." The short old man smiled strangely.
……
Hei Bai Xue Gong's leader, Bi Hai Dao Ren, sat cross-legged on a jade bed, with the water mirror floating in front of him clearly displaying the scene of the discussion hall.
"That one sword!"
The handsome face of Bi Hai Dao's person showed a look of surprise "Could he have entered the Sword Immortal Sect?"
"Alas!" The person from the Azure Sea Road let out a sigh, on the water mirror, they could only see the scene, but couldn't feel some of the more mysterious things like aura, power, and the fluctuations in the heavens and earth.
"Go."
The person from Bihai Road didn't hesitate, waved his hand, and the water mirror directly dispersed. His body flickered and he disappeared in an instant.
……
The Hei Bai Academy was not short of Yuan Shen Taoists who watched the battle through the water mirror. Baidu Mang Huang Ji was first published, and when they saw that sword, they were all shocked. However, because they hadn't personally felt it in the Lun Dao Hall, their hearts didn't dare to confirm it. So one by one, they rushed to the Lun Dao Hall... even two immortals hurried over.
******
The three generations of disciples inside the Hall of Taoist didn't know what was happening outside, they were discussing, even Beishan Xuantang Shixiong lost? Who's next to go on stage?
In the realm of multiple paths, Beishan Xuantang Shixiong is one of the top ten or so.
"Ji Ning, junior brother, no need to be overly polite, it's just a set of flying swords." Xue Ying Shixiong was currently chatting with Ji Ning and presented him with the Heaven Defying Earth Destroying Sword Array.
Ji Ning also smiled: "Alright, then I'll keep it for now."
”
Ji Ning had a good impression of Xue Ying's brother, and when she accepted this set of flying sword formations, it was clear that Ji Ning also acknowledged him as a friend.
"Great." Blood Shadow nodded "Ji Ning, your talent is astonishing. However, on this path of cultivation, it's impossible to achieve success by just focusing on practice. You also need to travel the world and gain more experience. I reckon you'll have to venture out in a few years. I estimate you'll also want to join the Dragon Guards and such. For these matters, feel free to come find me, as I'm quite familiar with the internal workings of the Dragon Guards."
"When the time comes, my junior brother will definitely go to trouble my senior brother." Ji Ning smiled.
"Huh?" Blood Shadow suddenly turned his head to look over.
Ji Ning also turned her head to look over.
Only then did a figure emerge from the crowd of third-generation disciples.
"Is it her?" Ji Ning's pupils contracted, and the one who came out was a black-clothed girl. The black-clothed girl from just now was sitting there, surrounded by people. Even Master Jiu Lian was surrounding her. Obviously, her status was extremely high.
"Junior Brother Ji Ning." The black-clothed girl walked out, saying coldly "As a disciple of the Multiple Realms' Domain Boundary, I should be considered one of its strongest. If you win against me, then there will naturally be Senior Brothers Tian Sheng and the others coming to fight you."
After finishing speaking, the black-clothed girl directly walked towards a side hall to choose a puppet.
"You're done for." Blood Shadow Shixiong also took a sharp breath in.
"Who is she?" Ji Ning asked, although he had some guesses.
"Huo Hong Xianzi Yu Wei!" Blood Shadow Shixiong said in a low voice, "She's a reincarnated immortal, with a terrifying natural talent. Even when she first started practicing, I didn't have to use 'Lun Dao' to deal with her! Her cultivation speed is astonishing, and now that she's over 20 years old, her actual strength has become incredibly high."
Ji Ning was secretly shocked.
Reincarnated immortal?
The master had said that there were only three reincarnated immortals among the disciples of three generations. Two of them had cultivated for over eighty years, and one had cultivated for twenty years. The one who had cultivated for twenty years was probably that black-clothed girl 'Yu Wei'.
"No wonder he dares to say that he is the strongest in the realm of multiple paths." Ji Ning secretly exclaimed.
"Junior brother, I'm afraid senior brother can't help it." Blood Shadow Senior Brother immediately retreated.
"What about the Reincarnated Immortal? He's just ten years more cultivated than me, that's all." Ji Ning was cautious but not afraid in the slightest.
……
Just a moment later.
Within the grand formation, on top of a stone pillar, Ji Ning was shocked and amazed at what he saw before him.
He unleashed thousands of flying swords, combining them to execute the first move of "Three Chi Sword", with a power that was truly astonishing. However, that 'Fire Rainbow Fairy' Yu Wei surprisingly chose the same Thousand Swords Puppet, and released a thousand flying swords, all of which transformed into towering flames of sword light.
Fierce flames of sword light, sharp flames of sword light, unstoppable flames!
Hard against hard!
Strong meets strong!
Ji Ning's sword glow was very sharp and powerful, but the flames that swept everything were even more crazy, directly crushing Ji Ning's sword glow and piercing through Ji Ning's Thousand Swords Puppet's protective layer.
Yu Wei wins! The old man with white hair exclaimed loudly.
Winning is swift and decisive.
"I lost!" Ji Ning stood up and laughed "Sister is awesome, brother admits defeat with a smile."
"I was worse off than you at sixteen." Huo Hong Xianzi Yu Wei glanced at Ji Ning, "Right, don't forget to give me one hundred Black and White Pills and ten kilograms of Yuan Liquid."
Ji Ning's eyes widened suddenly, and she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
A grand reincarnated immortal such as myself needn't bother with trivial matters like a colorful headdress, would I?
……
At this time, a Yuan Shen Taoist also arrived at the Temple of Discussion. They narrowly saw the scene of Ji Ning and Huo Hong Xianzi Yu Wei fighting. Each of them nodded secretly: "Indeed, it's a Sword Immortal, and what a powerful sword heart! In a few hundred years, my Black and White Academy will probably produce another Sword Immortal comparable to Dian Cang Sheng Shi!"
The corner of the Hall of Tao.
Wow! Wow!
Two more immortals appeared beside Wutu Xianren and Diancai Xianren. A long-bearded old man wearing a high crown and a delicate child with an aura of endless coldness arrived, their presence unnoticed by the other Yuanshen Taoists and third-generation disciples in the hall.
"Master of the Sword!" The old man with a high crown and long whiskers nodded, "Indeed, he has already embarked on the path of the Master of the Sword. My Black and White Academy finally has another disciple who has begun to comprehend the great way of 'Swordsmanship'."
The way is divided into high and low.
Like rainwater and cold ice, some Tao are just one of many in the universe.
The sword path is a higher level of 'Tao'.
It's extremely difficult to even get started, yet a Zifu cultivator like the Rainwater Path can easily enter and comprehend a hint of the true meaning of rainwater, or even comprehend the 'Domain Boundary of the Rainwater Path', which is nothing remarkable.
But as one of the "great ways", the way of the sword is rarely seen and extremely difficult to enter.
"What a strong sword heart, such a sword heart, such talent, such enlightenment." The voice of the young child is tender, but when speaking, it's old and mature. "Indeed, it's a piece of jade that can be carved into a 'powerful sword immortal'."
"Hmm hmm hmm." The old dwarf shook his head, "Baidu's 'Wilderness Chronicle' has just been released. My Black and White Academy's Sword Immortal is now a junior brother to two people. A Sword Immortal, even if he failed in his tribulation and became a loose immortal, would still be an incredibly powerful loose immortal, tsk tsk."
The old man with a high crown and long whiskers frowned and shouted, "Wu Kuang, Shixiong, Diancai is now only a terrestrial immortal, and there's still a great possibility that he'll become a celestial immortal. You'd better not say such depressing words."
The dwarf elder looked at Dian Cai and said: "Dian Cai Shidi..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I have no regrets. That's enough." Dian Cai Xianren smiled calmly and said, "As Beihang Qianbei said, it's better to live a day with satisfaction than to live a hundred years in misery. I just need to move forward... whether or not I can become an immortal is secondary."
"Well said." The old dwarf nodded.
The young child looked at Dian Cai Xian Ren and said, "Dian Cai Shidi, Ji Ning is another sword immortal from my Hei Bai Academy. You must teach him well!"
"That's natural! He is my disciple!"
……
"Sister Master, one hundred black and white pellets, ten kilograms of yuan liquid, here." Ji Ning handed the two jade bottles to Huo Hong Xianzi Yu Wei.
The girl in black, Yu Wei, glanced at Ji Ning and immediately revealed a hint of a smile. She stretched out her hand and snatched it from Ji Ning's hand, then turned around and left.
