Volume 12 is missing Chapter 3: To see further, go to a higher level
This Sword Sect's grand review is probably the one with the smallest number of people in the Sword Sect's history.
Not to mention that the total number of people is only one thousand, there are only four masters of the main peak left, and one of them is the master of Haoran Peak who has lost all his cultivation and his three lifetimes of Haoran Qi has turned into nothing.
But all the Sword Sect practitioners were still filled with excitement.
Because they know better than anyone that the Sword Sect is in trouble right now and people are uneasy.
Xijianchi is adding insult to injury and the outside world is talking about it. Aren't they also worried about the thousand-year foundation of their Sword Sect?
Aren't we worried that the new leader won't be able to convince the people, not to mention their hearts, but even their lips?
So when Lu Qingshan sheathed 200,000 swords in the blink of an eye in the Sword Washing Pool, and unsheathed 200,000 swords at a shout at Yanlan Pass, defeating the White Frost Sword Master. So when Lu Qingshan raised his sword at Feilai Peak and thousands of swords came in a blink of an eye, all the Sword Sect disciples finally put their minds at ease.
They understood that Lu Qingshan already had the ability to lead the Sword Sect, and even if he was younger , he would be the rightful leader of the Dao Sect.
These Sword Sect disciples even began to imagine the realm that no previous Sword Sect Master had ever reached. As the youngest and most talented sword practitioner in history, is it possible for the young Sword Sect Master to achieve it?
If the significance of this grand review for the Sword Sect is to unite people's hearts, then for the outer sect monks who participated in this review, it has a deeper meaning.
In the past, they had only heard that the Sword Sect's sword cultivators were the most powerful among all human beings, but they had no idea exactly how powerful they were.
Naturally, they also heard that the new leader Lu Qingshan once swung his sword, leaving Xijianchi humiliated.
But if you haven't seen with your own eyes the magnificent spectacle of 200,000 swords appearing at the same time, you can only hear about it from others and it is impossible to truly understand its mighty power.
However, after the three peak masters of the Sword Sect fought against the three Soldiers and Demons last time, they had a certain understanding of how powerful the peak masters of the Sword Sect were.
But now, seeing with one's own eyes the thousands of flying swords maneuvering and floating in the sky, the sharp sword intent revealed in them, making one feel as if a mountain is pressing down on one's head and suffocating when one is there in person.
Especially when Fuyao appeared, the breath of heaven and earth seemed to stagnate.
Looking at the four peak masters standing behind Lu Qingshan, the rumor that the Sword Sect was in a period of transition was naturally refuted.
The Sword Sect's inheritance has never been cut off.
After a quarter of an hour of review, everyone sheathed their swords, and the "young swordsman" who was leading the group and wearing the sect master's Canglong robe also disappeared.
…
Yumen Pass, Qingshan Palace.
Lu Qingshan, who had just returned to the palace after the grand review, showed a hint of anticipation in his dark eyes.
On the dark blue panel that no one could see except him, a line of small firefly words was flashing.
"The fourth calamity realm advanced mission: [A hundred flowers bloom again], has been completed!"
On the third day after he left Yanlan Pass, the advanced task had already been completed.
Completing the mission means that Lu Qingshan is now able to overcome the forty-nine heavenly tribulations.
It was only because of the upcoming grand review that Lu Qingshan delayed the breakthrough immediately.
Now that the review is over, there is naturally no need to delay any further.
"You have consumed 3.08 billion experience points."
"You are about to break through and advance to the Fourth Tribulation Realm."
"Please be aware that you will begin to face disasters."
"The heavenly tribulation you will face this time is: the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation."
Ripples continued to spread out from Lu Qingshan's body. The pressure was so terrible that it even turned the space around him into a vacuum zone.
That was the fluctuation of the energy in his body.
It can be seen that his energy is in an extremely unstable state.
And this state is precisely the sign of breaking through the calamity.
With 3 billion experience points and his own efforts, Lu Qingshan's cultivation finally improved again after several days and he officially reached the Fourth Tribulation Realm.
Almost at the moment when Lu Qingshan's 3 billion experience points were flowing, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above Yumen Pass.
It was at this time that the four Sword Sect leaders who had just returned to Yumen Pass were all stunned and looked up at the same time.
The entire Yumen Pass shook violently at this moment.
Countless monks looked up and stared at the sky in horror.
As they watched, the sky twisted and shifted, with startling whirlpools appearing.
The vortex continued to expand, and lightning snakes began to move inside it.
There are countless high-level cultivators in Yumen Pass, so many people understand what this is.
Heavenly calamity!
Heavenly tribulations should not be considered rare things for them.
After all, many of them have been through it themselves.
The question is, when people want to transcend tribulation, don’t they all seek out a place where there are few people and where they can peacefully transcend tribulation without being disturbed by others?
Are you kidding me that I’m going to survive the tribulation at Yumen Pass?
All the monks at Yumen Pass couldn't help but wonder who this "audacious" person was.
However, they are not in a hurry because they know that they will get the answer soon.
Inside the vortex in the sky, lightning was wandering at this moment, and streaks of lightning were born along with heavenly fire, entwining with each other, like a precursor to the end of the world, with a deafening roar.
Soon, the huge Jieyun Machine swept across the eight directions with its mighty power.
In the calamity cloud, terrifying pressure spread.
"Forty-nine days of tribulation." Xia Daoyun said softly.
She recognized the level of this calamity.
"Who is it?" Yu Canghai beside her frowned.
In fact, he already had a vague answer in his heart, but he still couldn't believe it - if it was really that person, his progress in cultivation was too exaggerated, and he really couldn't understand it at all.
"Except Qingshan, who else would do such a 'ridiculous' thing as to survive the calamity at Yumen Pass?" Xia Daoyun smiled faintly, with an inexplicable sense of "pampering" in her tone.
So you also know that this is "ridiculous", then why do you look so proud?
Yu Canghai curled his lips and complained in his heart.
The appearance of the 49th Heavenly Tribulation at Yumen Pass sparked discussions among many people.
Only Lu Qingshan had left Qingshan Palace and was rising into the sky.
"It's Sect Master Lu!" The doubts of the monks from Yumen Pass were answered at this moment.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
After all, this young sect leader has done many "outrageous" things to show off his brilliance since his debut.
…
"My forty-nine heavenly tribulations!" Lu Qingshan murmured softly with a strong light in his eyes.
Just as his voice was heard, there was a loud thunder in the sky.
The sound was so loud, like the creation of the world.
Amidst the roar, the vortex suddenly expanded, and thunder and sky fire covered all directions.
The pressure of the robbery cloud, at this moment, was so strong that it reached a terrifying level.
"Why do I feel... Qingshan's forty-nine heavenly tribulations are much stronger than mine." Feeling the terrifying pressure coming from the vortex, Xia Daoyun couldn't help but frowned.
"Your feeling is correct. His 49 Heavenly Tribulations are indeed more powerful than ours," Li Shiyi, as an "authority" in the area of Heavenly Tribulations, said, "I have gone through 49 Heavenly Tribulations three times, and none of them was comparable to Sect Master Lu's."
"What's going on?" Xia Daoyun didn't understand.
The heavenly tribulation is a test from heaven to the cultivators.
There are differences in strength among cultivators in the fourth tribulation realm, but there is no difference in the intensity of the forty-nine heavenly tribulations.
Then why was Lu Qingshan’s 49th heavenly tribulation so particularly fierce?
Could it be that Lu Qingshan had offended the Heavenly Dao, and that Heavenly Dao was making things difficult for him?
How is that possible!
In fact, many times, the most unlikely answer is often the final truth.
Here, Lu Qingshan did not react much when faced with a heavenly tribulation that was far more powerful than the ordinary forty-nine heavenly tribulations.
First, this was his first time to go through the forty-nine heavenly tribulation. Before this, he had never seen anyone else go through the tribulation, so he did not know that the power of his forty-nine heavenly tribulation was abnormal.
Second, Lu Qingshan has full confidence in his own abilities.
His actions also fully demonstrated his self-confidence.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Lu Qingshan's body shook, and all his cultivation burst out. He did not even wait for the heavenly calamity to fall, but went against the trend and directly hit the vortex and calamity clouds in the sky.
Who can stop him on his path of cultivation? Who dares to stop him?
Lu Qingshan was as fast as lightning and faced his forty-nine heavenly tribulations!
boom!
The calamity cloud was enraged by Lu Qingshan's action, and a thousand-foot-long lightning suddenly descended, turning into a vast ocean of lightning.
This was a terrifying scene, with endless lightning, each of which could split a mountain into pieces, and now all of them were hitting Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he summoned his sword domain. Countless sword energies surrounded his body, destroying all the thunder and lightning.
The dragon bird flew across the sky, rushing straight through the ocean of lightning and heading straight for the calamity cloud.
Peach Blossom also rushed out from his sword domain, floating in the thunder, and tempering the sword body.
Few people dare to do this, because with the power and ferocity of the heavenly tribulation, no matter if the magic weapon enters the tribulation cloud or undergoes the baptism of powerful tribulation thunder, it will easily fall into an irretrievable situation.
Not to mention that the natal sword is the foundation of a sword practitioner, and any damage to it can be fatal.
But Lu Qingshan was not afraid at all.
As the source of Taoism, it goes without saying that the Dragon Bird is indestructible.
Even if it is peach blossom, it is of the quality of a pseudo-Taoist weapon. With the help of the baptism of thunder, it is just right to temper oneself and accumulate the foundation for the transformation into a Taoist weapon.
At this time, the dragon bird had already rushed to a height of thousands of feet and arrived at the place where the pressure was the strongest, which was the center of the vortex.
Sensing the arrival of the Dragon Bird, the calamity clouds squirmed more violently, and then, thick streaks of lightning surged out like a dragon and pounced on the Dragon Bird.
Thunder dragons dance wildly.
However, just when the Thunder Dragon was about to hit the Dragon Bird, a sword light that reached the sky suddenly burst out from the Dragon Bird.
The dragon bird's divine power was released without reservation.
At this moment, the sword light was brighter than the lightning.
The whole room was ablaze.
That was the fiery light of the sword, redder than flames.
The calamity cloud was like butter in front of a hot pan. It was baring its fangs and claws one moment, and was disturbed and disappeared the next.
The test that was extremely difficult for others seemed too easy for Lu Qingshan.
"You have survived the 49th Heavenly Tribulation!"
"Your cultivation has been improved: from the third calamity realm to the fourth calamity realm!"
"Your energy has been improved, and the upper limit of energy value has been increased by 40w!"
"Your soul has been upgraded, spiritual awareness +1000!"
"Issuing the Five Tribulations Realm Advanced Task: [To See More, Climb to a Higher Level]"
[If you want to see farther, climb to a higher level]: "If I can see farther than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants" - communicate with the most powerful swordsman in the world.
Note: The most powerful swordsman in the world is rated as Tianhe Sword Immortal - Chu Mushen.
…
Lu Qingshan exhaled a breath, his eyes shining brightly.
He is in a good mood.
He successfully passed the tribulation and finally entered the fourth tribulation realm. Not only did his strength increase again, but more importantly, the newly issued fifth tribulation realm advancement task was much simpler than he had imagined.
Even in his opinion, it was much simpler than the Fourth Tribulation Realm advancement mission [Another Stunning Hundred Flowers Blooming].
Of course, it cannot be said that the task is too easy.
Tianhe Sword Immortal Chu Mushen is not only the most powerful sword cultivator in the world, he can even be said to be the most powerful human cultivator in the world.
It is extremely difficult even for a cultivator in the Fourth Tribulation Realm to communicate with such a being.
If it were an ordinary "player", seeing this task would definitely give them a headache, and they would just call it a stupid planner and say they were out of luck.
But for Lu Qingshan, he is not only a sword cultivator in the fourth calamity realm, but also the leader of the Sword Sect.
The identity of the leader of Dao Sect made it extremely easy for Lu Qingshan to complete this task.
…
"Qingshan, do you want to fight?"
As soon as the calamity clouds dissipated and Lu Qingshan advanced to the fourth calamity realm, Xia Daoyun soared into the air, landed in front of Lu Qingshan, and spoke softly.
The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough to spread across half of Yumen Pass.
Then, this sentence caused a bigger commotion than the 49th heavenly calamity that appeared above Yumen Pass.
All the monks at Yumen Pass were shocked and looked up at the sky, looking at the master and disciple pair in the sky.
Xia Daoyun looked at Lu Qingshan with a smile, waiting for his reply.
Lu Qingshan was startled at first, but then he reacted, clasped his fists and saluted Xia Daoyun, and said straightforwardly: "Master, is it the sky or the sea?"
"On the sea!" Xia Daoyun's eyes were full of smiles, "If you win this battle, you will be officially a disciple. The relationship between master and disciple will still exist, but you don't have to call me master anymore."
Xia Daoyuan's initiative to declare war was partly because he wanted to show off his skills.
Think about it, since she started practicing swordsmanship, there is no contemporary swordsman who can compare with her. Which realm is not the best? Which realm is not invincible?
Now her disciple is rising with an even more astonishing momentum than her, even surpassing her in her youth, and her cultivation is now infinitely close to hers.
Among the master and disciple Xia Daoyun and Lu Qingshan, is Xia Daoyun the more talented, or is Lu Qingshan better?
This kind of discussion, like "Who is stronger, Emperor Huang Tian or Emperor Ye Tian", is the most classic and eye-catching one.
So although this discussion only emerged recently, it quickly spread and sparked widespread discussion.
Xia Daoyuan had also heard about this discussion, and she was also extremely curious.
In that case, let’s take a look at the answer.
The second reason is that Xia Daoyuan no longer wants to restrict Lu Qingshan by the "master-disciple" relationship.
Not only is she the leader of a peak of the Sword Sect, she is also Lu Qingshan's master.
Although Lu Qingshan certainly doesn't care, in the eyes of outsiders, Lu Qingshan as the sect leader does not seem to be important enough - in your Sword Sect, who is the most powerful, Xia Daoyun or Lu Qingshan?
In Xia Daoyun's opinion, Lu Qingshan must be sent out as the leader of this division.
But there are some rules to follow when it comes to how to do it.
Now is the best time.
That's why she declared war in front of the monks from Yumen Pass.
Lu Qingshan immediately understood Xia Daoyun's intention, so he accepted the challenge without hesitation.
…
Both of them had the same decisive and efficient character. The next moment, they flew away from Yumen Pass and headed straight for the sea in the Eastern Region.
At the same time, inside Yumen Pass, figures emerged from the air.
First, the high-level swordsmen from the Sword Sect came out.
Yu Canghai, Xue Wushao, Wuju Sword Master...
Even Li Shiyi was brought along by Yu Canghai to watch the battle.
The three great monks at the Venerable Realm in Houyumen Pass couldn't resist their curiosity and followed.
The battle between the two most talented sword masters of the contemporary era, who were master and disciple, had everyone aroused great interest.
Two sword masters who were once known to be invincible at the same level finally met in the Tribulation Realm. So who is the invincible one?
