Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 5: Seven Peaks of the Sword Sect
"We're here." While introducing the Sword Sect to the newcomers, Ji Chuan led them into a wide and flat mountain.
Here lies a complex of buildings full of ancient charm.
The first place they had to go was a large hall called Zefeng in the building complex.
I came to Zefeng Hall for only one thing, to receive the exclusive sword talisman for the disciples of the Sword Sect.
The sword talisman is the identity mark of the disciples of the Sword Sect, and contains each person's detailed information and the imprint of his or her soul.
There are countless prohibitions within the Sword Sect, and the sect's protective formation is as vast as the sky and earth. Without the sword talisman, it would be difficult to move forward.
Lu Qingshan and six others followed Ji Chuan into Zefeng Hall.
In the huge hall, countless sword symbols of various shapes were floating in the air.
But if you look closely, you can see that these sword symbols only have seven shapes in total.
An old dragon, a wild crane, a green raccoon, a dogwood, an ant, a red bird, and a wisp of willow catkins.
Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the six people, Ji Chuan said with a smile: "The seven shapes of sword symbols represent the seven main peaks of our Sword Sect. Our Sword Sect currently has thousands of sword peaks, but only cultivators who have reached a certain level of cultivation can open a main peak. Therefore, our Sword Sect currently has only seven main peaks. All new disciples will enter the main peaks to practice for a period of time. Whichever sword symbol you choose, you will eventually enter the main peak corresponding to the sword symbol."
“We choose freely? Instead of the sect arranging it for us?” Yu Cibei asked in surprise.
He had never heard of such a system.
Ji Chuan smiled slightly and answered patiently: "The path of sword cultivation has always been walked by yourself, rather than waiting for others to open a good path for you. Therefore, the Sword Sect never restricts or interferes with the cultivation path of sword cultivators in the sect. At most, it only provides you with some suggestions based on experience. Whether to accept or not is up to you. No one will blame you. Of course, the consequences can only be borne by you, and you can't blame the sect."
The newlyweds were slightly dazed when they heard this.
They really didn't expect that the Sword Sect would have such a laissez-faire style of doing things.
Ji Chuan further explained, “When your cultivation reaches the realm of refining emptiness, you can leave the main peak and find a peak among the vast sword peaks to open up as your own dojo.
In the Sword Sect, since everyone comes from the disciples of the masters of various peaks, their titles cannot be divided according to the seniority of their respective masters.
For cultivators above the level of Lianxu, if they are not in a master-disciple relationship, you can just call them by their honorific title.
The cultivators below the Lianxu realm are the youngest generation in the Sword Sect. The way we address each other is based on our realm first, so you can call me senior brother.
Of course, there are very few people in the Sword Sect, and all of them have extraordinary talents. Therefore, in fact, there are not many cultivators in the Sword Sect who are still below the Void Refining Realm, and the number is less than three hundred.
As for disciples at the foundation-building and Qi-refining levels, as far as I know, there are none at the moment.
Therefore, fellow disciples, you are now at the bottom of our Sword Sect's cultivation base and need to work hard."
The shock in Lu Qingshan's heart continued, but he managed to remain calm and silent.
This was his first time entering the Sword Sect.
He had only heard of the Sword Sect before, but had never truly understood it.
Now, the structure of the Sword Sect finally slowly unfolded to him.
It is indeed unique, but fascinating.
Ji Chuan was not surprised by the complicated emotions of his fellow disciples. When he first entered the Sword Sect, he actually behaved like everyone else.
Ji Chuan reached out and intercepted seven sword symbols of different styles, and introduced them to the six new disciples one by one: "The Old Dragon Sword Symbol represents Qingyun Peak.
The master of Qingyun Peak is the leader of our Sword Sect. However, after he entered the realm of Sword Immortal, he has stopped recruiting disciples, so you don’t have to consider the Old Dragon Sword Talisman.
The Wild Crane Sword Talisman is the symbol of Canghai Peak.
The master of Canghai Peak is good at the art of inner sword formation. Once the sword formation comes out, it is like the endless surging sea.
There are many sword cultivators practicing sword formations, so Canghai Peak is considered to be the peak with the most fellow disciples among the seven main peaks.
Junior Brother Cao, I heard from Master that you are good at sword formations, so you can consider Canghai Peak."
Cao Xiaoxin replied respectfully: "Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother. I will seriously consider it."
Ji Chuan went on to introduce: "The Qingli Sword Talisman represents the Wushao Peak among the seven peaks. The master of Wushao Peak only practices one move in his entire life, the sword-cultivation technique of the outer sword. However, his only sword-cultivation technique is already able to surpass 99% of the sword cultivators in the world. Therefore, the master of Wushao Peak is regarded by outsiders as the sword sheath of the sword sect."
"Well... Since there is only one sword-cultivating technique, it is not very applicable, so there are very few disciples at Wujiao Peak." Ji Chuan paused and looked at the skinny young man among the other three sword cultivators besides Lu Qingshan, Yu Cibei, and Cao Xiaoxin. "Brother Luo, although you have never practiced the sword-cultivating technique before, I heard from Master that you practiced a sword technique for decades and finally gained some enlightenment. Your temperament is actually in line with the sword-cultivating technique, so Wujiao Peak can also consider it."
The skinny swordsman who was called Brother Luo nodded and said , "Thank you, Brother."
Ji Chuan did not comment, and continued: "The ant sword symbol represents Hengqiu Peak. The whale has not yet swallowed the sea, but the sword energy is already Hengqiu. The master of Hengqiu Peak is famous for his sword energy, which is versatile and proficient in various secret swords. Anyone who studies sword energy or is interested in secret swords can consider Hengqiu Peak."
“The dogwood sword symbol is the symbol of Wangu Peak.
Life is fleeting within a hundred years, so we must enjoy the eternal love.
The master of Wangu Peak is also good at external swords, but he does not practice secret swords, but the sword skills that can kill people. The sword skills of the Wangu lineage are the most ferocious sword skills in the Sword Sect, and the disciples of Wangu Peak are also the lineage with the strongest murderous intent.
The Vermillion Bird Sword Talisman is the symbol of my Haoran Peak.
A little bit of noble spirit, a thousand miles of refreshing wind, the name of Haoran Peak comes from this.
The head of Haoran Peak is my master, Taibai Sword Master. He is famous for his inner and outer strengths, and he has been able to climb to the top of the Heavenly Ranking, which is very suitable for you, Junior Brother Lu."
When Ji Chuan said this, he fixed his eyes on Lu Qingshan and added, "But unfortunately, my master is the only one among the seven peak masters who has not comprehended the killing sword intent, which is rare in the entire Sword Sect. I know that Junior Brother Lu has a particularly deep understanding of the killing sword intent. If he really becomes my master's disciple, I'm afraid it would be a bit of a waste."
“In addition, my master is the only one among the seven peak masters whose cultivation is still at the seventh level, and he is often “bullied”.
That is why the troublesome matter of the Seven Realms Discussion was entrusted to my master. "Ji Chuan couldn't help but laugh.
"As for the last Willow Catkin Sword Talisman," Ji Chuan thought for a moment and introduced it this way: "It is the symbol of Jianlai Peak."
Jianlai Peak?
Everyone was suddenly startled.
Just by hearing the name, they could feel the aura of Master Jianlai Peak.
Among the seven peaks, this is the only main peak directly named after the sword.
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Ji Chuan guessed what they were thinking and said with a knowing smile: "This Jianlai Peak Master is really as powerful as you thought. Do you know why Jianlai Peak Master chose the sword symbol of this peak as willow catkins?"
What is the origin of this?
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
