Chapter 7 My Sword

(Top in July! Top in July! Top in July! You need your monthly tickets, and important things must be repeatedly emphasized)

Rainbow Mountain, with seven peaks and three valleys, is known as the eighteen turns of the peak circuit.

This mountain is the largest mountain range in Tianjiang Prefecture, and the Zongheng Jianzong, one of the four inferior sect-level forces, has settled here.

In addition to the vertical and horizontal sword sect, there are many other unqualified forces entrenched everywhere.

The mountain road is rugged and winding up, and a white jade arch stands on the ground, reaching a height of ten meters, with a majestic and sharp edge.

The letter is written in four large characters of Jianzong, with silver hook and iron painting, mysterious and incomprehensible.

With Chen Zong's current swordsmanship attainment, he can vaguely feel the extraordinaryness of it, but he can't comprehend anything, because the person who carved these four characters with his own hands has superb swordsmanship attainment.

This is the gate of the vertical and horizontal sword sect.

The mountain gate represents the facade of a power. If it is simple, it will damage the majesty of the sect. If it is too gorgeous, it will appear exaggerated. If it is done too well, it may provoke hostility from other sects.

What grade matches what level, this is the underlying truth, and no one will go beyond it.

The mountain gate made of white jade is not gorgeous, but it is not simple, and it looks simple and elegant.

On the left and right sides under the mountain gate, stood two straight young men, a white sword robe set off the figure, making the figure more and more straight, like a scabbard sword, releasing an invisible edge.

Sharp eyes swept through the air, swept across Chen Zong one after another, and then landed on Li Qingye's face.

"But Elder Li?" one of them asked.

"It's me." Li Qingye carried a long sword on his back, and a smile appeared on his simple face.

"I have seen Elder Li." The two disciples guarding the mountain gate hurriedly saluted.

"No ceremony." Li Qingye smiled. After speaking, he took Chen Zong across the mountain gate and walked up the mountain along the white jade steps.

The steps are winding, like a white python entrenched, looking up, you can vaguely see a white streak going up, as if there is no end.

"Senior, the two just now,

Are they all real martial arts? "Chen Zong asked casually as he followed Li Qingye up the white jade steps.

"Fourth level of true martial arts." Li Qingye said: "They are all inner disciples of the Zongheng Sword Sect."

"Looks very young." Chen Zong smiled.

"It should be twenty-seven or eight-year-old." Li Qingye also smiled.

Twenty-seven or eight-year-old Zhenwu is not uncommon in the Longtu Dynasty. They can only be regarded as a group of people with good talent, but if they are among the three major dynasties, they can already be considered geniuses, and in Donglu, I am afraid that Will be crowned with the word Tianjiao.

For example, Naba Wu Tianjiao broke through to the True Martial Realm in his twenties, but there is still a big gap between the first and fourth levels of the True Martial Realm.

But after all, I am not too young now, and I am gradually approaching the age of twenty-four. Of course, because of my pursuit of a more solid and perfect foundation, I have not hit the real martial arts for a long time, or it is estimated that I have already reached the true martial arts. environment level.

Thinking of the two inner disciples of the fourth realm of the real martial realm guarding the mountain gate, their combat power when they practiced the strength realm level would not be too high, and it was estimated that they were at the level of three or four stars.

Before coming, Li Qingye had already said some general information about the Sword Sect.

The composition of the entire vertical and horizontal sword sect is from top to bottom, including the elders, the sect masters, the inner sect elders, the outer sect elders, the deacons, the core disciples, the inner sect disciples, and the outer sect disciples.

Among them, the inner sect elders, the sect masters and the elders are all powerhouses in the transcendent realm, while the outer sect elders are all pseudo transcendent realms. good treatment.

As for the deacons, they are all in the real martial realm, often in the middle and late stages of the real martial realm.

The core disciples are those who are less than thirty years old in the late stage of True Martial Realm.

The inner disciples are those who are within the early and middle stages of the True Martial Realm within the age of 30.

Outer sect disciples are practicing the cultivation realm.

Among them, the status of the deacon is higher than that of the inner disciple and the outer disciple, and there is a gap with the core disciple. The status of the core disciple is quite high, even comparable to some outer sect elders.

Zongmen Jianzi is a very special existence, referring to a kind of honor, a kind of treatment that can be enjoyed.

The more the conclusion, the deeper Chen Zong's expectations for this vertical and horizontal sword sect.

The white jade steps are winding and long, but Chen Zong and Li Qingye's speed is not slow, and they leap continuously. After a while, Chen Zong followed Li Qingye to a white jade square.

The square is wide and has tens of thousands of square meters. In the center of the square stands an eight-legged bronze cauldron, which is extremely thick. There are sword patterns carved on it. If you identify it carefully, you can find that countless sword patterns are built into vertical and horizontal nourishment, running in all directions. , In the center of the big tripod, there was an ancient bronze sword several meters long and two palm-sized.

The sword is awe-inspiring!

"This is the ancient sword cauldron." Li Qingye said, with a solemn expression, as if a pilgrimage: "It was cast by the founder of our Zongheng Jianzong, and it is one of the symbols of Zongheng Jianzong."

Looking at the ancient sword cauldron, Chen Zong didn't know why, but he felt that his mood was affected, and he became solemn.

"It is rumored that the founder of Kaipai left a middle-grade Lingwu in this ancient sword cauldron, but no one has understood it so far." Li Qingye said.

"Lingwu?" Chen Zong was puzzled.

"Lingwu is a martial art practiced by the supernatural powerhouse." Li Qingye explained without saying much, but changed the subject: "Come with me, I will take you to see the sect master."

Recommending a sect swordsman is a big deal, and seeing the sect master is a must.

Go forward all the way, pass through the heavy hall gates, and stop in front of a magnificent hall.

It is not difficult to meet the Sect Master as Li Qingye's outer door elder.

This hall, named Zongheng Sword Hall, is the main hall of Zongheng Sword Sect, and it is also the place where the sect master usually meets with elders and disciples and receives important foreign guests.

The vertical and horizontal sword hall is 100 meters high, with large pillars supporting the sky, each pillar is engraved with sword shadows, criss-crossing, and the breath is extraordinary.

To Chen Zong's astonishment, the suzerain of the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Sect was a big man with a horned beard, a broad face and a square mouth, which was different from what he imagined.

Well, people don't look like people.

In addition to the sect master, there were also four inner sect elders gathered in the vertical and horizontal sword hall, each sitting in their seats. After their eyes crossed Li Qingye, they all fell on Chen Zong, and immediately, they were slightly surprised.

Chen Zong cultivated a flawless mixed body, and he was able to restrain his aura fluctuations, making it difficult for people to detect.

Under the gaze, Chen Zong felt the pressure from the eyes of the five people. It was the coercion of the supernatural powerhouse, not deliberately, but brought about by the gaze of the eyes.

Chen Zong's expression remained unchanged and calm, which made people secretly amazed.

It is indeed very rare for a person to practice strength to have the same complexion and body shape under the gaze of five supernatural powerhouses.

"Elder Qingye, are you sure you want to use the one-time recommendation qualification for this son?" The first elder said, as if with an accent, lingering in the hall, echoing in the ears of the two.

"Report to the Great Elder, yes." Li Qingye responded respectfully.

There are a total of four elders in the inner door. In order, they are the first elder, the second elder, the third elder, and the fourth elder. Among them, the first elder has the highest cultivation level and the strongest strength.

"This son looks good, and he does have the qualifications to compete for the sect's sword son, but what is the origin of this son, do you know?" The second elder also spoke, his voice slightly sharp.

Zongmen Jianzi will be tilted by Zongmen resources and get the best training. It is a major event and must be treated with caution. If the people who are trained are secret sons of other forces, it will not only bring losses to Zongmen, but also majesty. completely lost.

And if the person cultivated is not good or ungrateful, etc., it will be the loss of the sect in the end.

"Reporting to the second elder, this son's name is Chen Zong, and he came from the Yunlong Dynasty of the three dynasties on the other side of the Shenyu River." Li Qingye replied immediately.

"Oh, from the other side of the Shen Yu River." Several elders nodded, then turned to the Sect Master, waiting for the Sect Master's final decision.

"The sword of the sect is related to the rise and fall of the honor of the sect. It is a major event that cannot be lost." The sect master with a qiubeard said, his voice was like a bell, his eyes passed over Chen Zong and then fell on Li Qingye's face: "Let Chen Zong live here first. , temporarily listed as an outer sect disciple, after this sect confirms that there is no problem with Chen Zong's origin, we will arrange the sect swordsman assessment, Chen Zong, what do you think?"

Chen Zong was a little surprised that a supernatural powerhouse, who was still the head of a sect, asked his opinion like this.

"But according to the arrangement of the sect master." Chen Zong said.

As for the fact that the other party said he wanted to investigate his origins, Chen Zong was not dissatisfied at all. He was heart-to-heart. If he was the leader of a sect, he would not be able to cultivate talents for the enemy. It is necessary to investigate the origin.

Of course, this is also because Chen Zong never deceived Li Qingye, otherwise, those who have ghosts must be impatient.

"In this case, Elder Qingye, take Chen Zong to the outer disciple area and stay here for the time being," said Sect Master Lin Zhonghan.

"Yes, Sect Master." Li Qingye took Chen Zong out of the Zongheng Sword Hall.

As soon as he walked out of the Sword Palace, the oppressive atmosphere disappeared immediately, and Chen Zong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zongmen Jianzi is of great importance, and it is necessary to investigate the origin. I hope you don't have any grudges." Li Qingye said to Chen Zong.

"Senior, don't worry, I can understand." Chen Zong said.

"It couldn't be better." Li Qingye smiled, becoming more and more satisfied with Chen Zong.

Speaking of which, I originally thought that my disciple was very good, but compared with Chen Zongyi, it paled.

Whether it is talent, combat power or temperament, there are obvious gaps.

Thinking of his own disciple Yang Xuanying, Li Qingye frowned again. After losing the duel with Chen Zong that day, he left the sword hall and disappeared. He originally planned to bring him to the sword sect, even if he could not become a sect sword. However, with his talent, he can also rank among the top disciples of the outer sect and win better resources.

It's a pity that Yang Xuanying returned to the Yang family after leaving the sword hall one day, and then left without knowing where to go.

"Three elders, you are the fastest, so take the black and sinking wooden boat to cross the river and go to the Yunlong Dynasty to investigate the origin of Chen Zong's identity." Luo Zhonghan said.

"Yes." The slender third elder got up and left quickly.
