A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 474: Chapter 432: Take My Sword (Double Chapter)

Lu Qian’s response and the judge’s announcement sounded simultaneously.

”His name is Xiao Tianci.”

”The winner is Xiao Tianci!”

The next moment, the audience woke up as if from a dream, breaking into thunderous applause. Even the Golden Core cultivators present couldn’t suppress their excited discussions.

”So fast!”

Jiang Baitao, with a gleeful expression, was about to shout loudly for his Martial Nephew Tianci (though Tianci himself never said he wanted to join the Yunshan Four Heroes) when Jiang Qingfeng quickly pulled him over to cover his mouth.

Among those present, only the Foundation Establishment Feather Scholars could clearly see Xiao Tianci’s movements just now, and only Master Cangfeng, Yan Beixing, Lu Qian, Wang Yu, and Fang Hui truly grasped what had happened.

It wasn’t just simple speed, but rather, ”fierceness”!

In the instant the match began, Xiao Tianci drew his sword, unleashing a sharp Sword Qi that cracked the ground with shallow fissures.

Then, all the sharp Sword Qi compressed into a single point, bursting explosively with unmatched force, turbulent beneath the calm surface like the most violent currents.

Finally, the turbulent currents surged forth, transforming into the Extreme Fierce Sword!

Raging like the wind, invading like fire, tearing like thunder!

This is the Rahu Fierce Sword: Wind, Fire, and Thunder!

After receiving the teachings, Xiao Tianci managed to officially enter the sect and reach his current level within just over a year, which is truly astonishing.

This Four Excess Star Nether Illumination Divine Sword True Technique is a fourth-grade cultivation technique aiming directly at the Primordial Spirit, and it’s certainly not easy to cultivate. His current mastery indicates exceptional talent, and one section, the Rahu Fierce Sword, is indeed a perfect match for him.

Now his longsword unsheathed, the fierce sword crossed the sky. The dual protective magical artifacts of Ding Shu, who was also at Qi Cultivation Perfection, were only halfway deployed before they were effortlessly destroyed by a single slash.

Ding Shu chuckled wryly, ”Brother, your swordsmanship is impressive. I admit defeat wholeheartedly. I didn’t expect to be so far behind you.”

Xiao Tianci sheathed his sword and nodded to him, ”Don’t be discouraged. Among Qi Cultivators, you are already strong. I look forward to your Foundation Establishment.”

What did that mean? Ding Shu was at a loss for words, but having heard of Xiao Tianci’s character, he sighed and left the stage.

In the stands, Yan Beixing looked solemn. This sword stroke was truly incredible. He pondered which of his sect’s Qi Cultivation disciples could surpass Xiao Tianci, but every name he thought of had to be crossed out.

No, none of his Qi Cultivation disciples could execute such a sword strike!

After the initial excitement from the audience upon witnessing the sword strike, anxiety suddenly crept in.

What if they drew Xiao Tianci in the next round? What would they do then?

All they could do was pray for their patriarch’s blessing.

Master Cangfeng clapped his hands, ”Truly impressive, Lu Qian. Your Yunshan Sword Dao has reached such sublime heights. It’s a pity that I never had the chance to hear of it before, nor to spar with your revered sect’s patriarch.”

Lu Qian smiled, ”Zhenren, you’re too kind. The sword style passed down by our patriarch does have unique aspects, but it’s mostly complete for Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment; the rest is lost, incomparable to the long-standing Sword Dao of the Mingyu Sword Sect, which can reach the Transformation Realm.”

Master Cangfeng murmured, ”Already lost? That’s a real pity. However, more than the swordsmanship itself, I’m interested in this person, Xiao Tianci. Could I invite him over for a chat?”

Lu Qian was slightly startled but then personally went to bring Xiao Tianci over.

”Master Cangfeng wants to see me?” Xiao Tianci was quite puzzled, but the thought that this Golden Core Master was a famed Great Sword Cultivator excited him, perhaps offering a chance for guidance. His sword hummed softly in his embrace.

Lu Qian whispered, ”Don’t lose your manners. But if... he makes any request that troubles you and you’re unwilling to comply, just refuse it directly.”

Xiao Tianci nodded in surprise. He was well aware of the significance of a Golden Core Master and didn’t expect that even the Sect Leader could hold such authority in front of one, deepening his admiration.

Lu Qian had some guesses about Master Cangfeng’s intentions, but he was different from his past dealings with Master Fengfeng of the Upper Sect.

It’s not about taking advantage of Master Cangfeng’s gentle nature, but the relationship between the Yunshan Sect, Shuangye Alliance, and the Mingyu Sword Sect is nominally hierarchical, yet leans more towards cooperation.

Five years ago, before Lingsha City, Master Cangfeng agreed to five conditions from Lu Qian, establishing the cooperative tone between them. He even pledged to ”not command for twelve years, and after twelve years take command without giving orders.” This ensures that Master Cangfeng cannot demand Lu Qian to do anything in a commanding tone.

Even if Master Cangfeng wanted to execute a plan for Mingjian Mountain, he would need Lu Qian’s support to make it happen, and he was quite pleased with the outstanding performance of the Yunshan Sect and the Shuangye Alliance over the past five years.

So, Master Cangfeng would not have any excessive actions, and even if he did, Lu Qian had the confidence to refuse.

After bringing Xiao Tianci to Master Cangfeng and giving him a salute, Master Cangfeng smiled slightly.

”Xiao Tianci, you’re very impressive. Even when I was at Qi Cultivation Perfection, I couldn’t perform such a sword stroke.”

Such high praise left Yan Beixing in awe.

Xiao Tianci stared intently at Master Cangfeng and said in a deep voice, ”My sword says that you are an extraordinary Great Sword Cultivator. I hope one day I can seek your guidance.”

Yan Beixing looked at him incredulously, his face turning red with indignation, and was about to chastise his arrogance, but the Zhenren chuckled lightly, ”Good, if everything comes to fruition later, there will be ample opportunities in the future.”

Xiao Tianci hadn’t understood what ”fruition” meant when he heard Master Cangfeng turn to Lu Qian and say, ”Lu Qian, I am very fond of Tianci. I am willing to make an exception for him. If you agree, let Tianci transfer from the Yunshan Sect to my Mingyu Sword Sect. I will personally train and guide his cultivation.”
