Chapter 243 - Chapter 243 Twenty-seven Years Old, Elegant Sky Starry Sword
Chapter 243: Chapter 243 Twenty-seven Years Old, Elegant Sky Starry Sword.
“Huangquan Drake King again. That old drake is really treacherous!” Chongming Demon Monarch cursed loudly. Back then at the Tanhua Sect, it was the Huangquan Drake King who had sneaked on them.
After they left the Tanhua Sect, that hideous old drake even sent the Huangquan Twin Devils to go after them.
As a demon, Chongming Demon Monarch did not have much sense of belonging to the race.
He just wanted to live well.
Zhou Xuanji’s eyes looked cold.
Ever since Juedi Cliff, the Huangquan Drake King has had his eyes on him.
Since they were enemies, he had to think of a way to eliminate the Drake King.
However, the Drake King was ranked fifth in the world,so it would not be easy to deal with him.
“Beixiao, you help with the evaluation too. Save some time,” Zhou Xuanji instructed. He wanted to carry on the evaluation over the night and leave in the morning.
Having heard that, Beixiao Wangjian nodded and walked to Zhao Congjian’s side.
“That young man, get over here!” Beixiao Wangjian shouted with a fierce look.
Jiang Xue looked to Zhou Xuanji and asked, “If we encounter the Drake King, do you have a winning chance?”
“Before I encounter him, I will make myself confident,” Zhou Xuanji said with a smile.
His confidence was based on World Internalization!
Seeing his confidence, Jiang Xue smiled too.
That night, Zhou Xuanji’s identity was known all across the city.
No one was angry about this because Zhou Xuanji had saved them after all. He was their savior.
For three consecutive days, they did not find a singletalented person.
Until one day.
A young man showed them a Black Grade Intermediate Tier sword technique, which caught their attention.
The young man wore a blue shirt, and on his handsome face was a cynical smile.
“How? I’m quite talented, right? I want to be Sword God Zhou’s disciple!” He said proudly and straightaway neglected Xiao Jinghong and the others.
Such arrogance!
Beixiao Wangjian stared at him and said, “You are overthinking it. You think you are qualified? You are not even qualified to be our disciples!”
The blue-shirt young man was still smiling pridefully. “I, Xu Yang, am really powerful. I’m twenty-nine years old this year, and I’m already at Soul Fountain Level Nine!” He said.
With this, everyone in the queue cried out in amazement.
Apparently, they had never heard of Xu Yang before. But to have Soul Fountain Level Nine cultivation at twenty-nine years old was really quite something.
Zhou Xuanji did not look at Xu Yang but continued to cultivate.
“Spar with me without using spirit energy.”
Xiao Jinghong raised his sword and said, smiling. Xu Yang agreed instantly.
The two began to spar in the courtyard.
Within ten moves, Xu Yang was defeated.
“Young man, have a better view of yourself now?” Beixiao Wangjian mocked.
The little black snake came up to him and chuckled, “Beixiao, are you envious of his talent?”
Beixiao Wangjian raged and tried to stomp on him, but the snake dodged it.
Xu Yang picked up his sword, reluctant to admit defeat.
“Actually, we can keep him,” Daoya Old Man said to Zhou Xuanji telepathically. Having heard him, Zhou Xuanji looked at him doubtfully.
The old man had an eccentric smile on his face and said, “This man is not bad. Although his talent is not tip-top, his identity is rather special. His fate is complicated, and he should be the reincarnation of an ancient, powerful cultivator. If we can nurture him well, he would be a formidable force once he awakens.”
Reincarnation of an ancient, powerful cultivator?
Zhou Xuanji was shocked in his heart and instructed, “Okay, let’s keep him. Jinghong, you are in charge of teaching him from now on.”
Xiao Jinghong heard him and immediately cupped his fist. “Understood.”
Xu Yang was exhilarated immediately.
Before he could even speak, Xiao Jinghong threw him a stare and said, “Go and pack up. We are leaving in a few days.”
Xu Yang quickly walked to the back and chuckled, “I’m just a passerby and have nothing to pack up. Fortunately, you guys are here, or else I would have died here. That would be such a tragedy.”
This guy was apparently pretty talkative.
“Brat, come over here and chat with me.”
Chongming Demon Monarch, who was sitting on the ground, waved his hand and smiled. It was a sinister smile.
Xu Yang walked up to him, not wary of what was going to happen to him.
At the same time, recruitment continued.
Time passed quickly.
Seven days later, they recruited eight disciples, six men and two women. The oldest of them was over two hundred years old, while the youngest was only twenty-two.
Together with Xu Yang, there were nine disciples in total.
At last, thousands of soldiers sent them off as they departed from Stone Forest City.
Other than Xu Yang, the other eight were quite self-restrained. And so, Xu Yang became their leader.
This guy was bold and talkative. He even dared to talk back to Beixiao Wangjian and the little black snake.
Ever since he was defeated by Xiao Jinghong, he was quite respectful toward him. As for Zhou Xuanji, there was only reverence.
Because ever since the beginning, he had not conversed with Zhou Xuanji.
That sense of distance gave him fear.
“Begin practicing the sword.”
Zhou Xuanji, who was walking at the forefront, ordered, which stunned Xu Yang and the other disciples.
They stopped instinctively but realized that Zhou Xuanji and the others were still walking, so they quickly caught up with them.
Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Beixiao Wangjian, Huang Lianxin, and Ning Zifeng walked to the flank of the party and began practicing the sword.
They trained as they walked!
The nine new disciples were shocked.
“Catch up!” Chongming Demon Monarch stared at them and berated them. The frightened nine quickly drew their swords.
With the new disciples, the party grew to look even more impressive.
Jiang Xue and Huang Lianxin smiled ear to ear. Although it was just the beginning, they were already fantasizing about the scene of ten thousand people practicing the sword.
One day, the sect will flourish and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sanctums.
“Toward this direction, what is the nearest empire or other powerhouses?” Zhou Xuanji asked Daoya Old Man. He could only become more powerful if he encountered a powerful enemy.
The old man uttered, “It should be Dogyuan Monastery. After Xuanhe was suppressed, Dongyuan Monastery could still hold on for a while. There were many highly cultivated monks inside the monastery and even some immortals.”
Dongyuan Monastery!
Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes and began contemplating.
And so, the group strolled ahead.
Along the way, Xiao Jinghong taught the disciples the Thirty-six Paths Jade Xiao Sword, which was sufficient for them to train for a few years.
In the blink of an eye.
Months passed.
“Analyzed that the Sword Owner has reached twenty-seven years old. Gacha started!”
“Ding! Congratulations, the Sword Owner has obtained [Gold] Dusk Sword, [Amethyst] Elegant Sky Starry Sword, and Elemental Divine Staff.”
The Sword Spirit’s voice resounded in Zhou Xuanji’s mind.
At this moment, they were walking above a valley.
Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, and the others were still at the back training their sword techniques.
Information about the two legendary swords appeared before his eyes.
Sword Name: Dusk Sword
Grade: Gold
Description: The sword of a renowned hero, which can suppress items with a wicked charming effect.
…
Sword Name: Elegant Sky Starry Sword
Grade: Amethyst
Description: This sword contains the power of the light element. It can radiate light that is brighter than the sun.
…
So so.
Zhou Xuanji was not surprised. Instead, he took out the Elemental Divine Staff.
It was a jaded wooden staff that was 1.5 meters long. A piece of purple crystal was embedded at the tip, which made it look very charming.
He straightaway passed the Elemental Divine Staff to Jiang Xue and said, “Yours, birthday gift.”
Jiang Xue took over the staff and was pleasantly surprised.
“Be careful, there is a murderous aura ahead of us,” Ning Zifeng, who was walking at the forefront, said solemnly.
