Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1226: The Six Kings’ Duel Challenge

”Demon Sword King?”

The crowd exchanged puzzled glances; this title required no thought to know its owner.

It seems Wei Wuxian has ultimately ascended to become one of the Youth Kings!

As four names appeared first, the Talent Rankings did not dim, but instead ushered in two more names.

King of Taisu, Heavenly Eye King!

”Six Youth Kings!”

Upon seeing the six resplendent names on the Talent Rankings, the entire area around Spirit Mountain resonated with sounds of shock.

This generation of Youth Kings has reached six in total!

This is likely the era with the most number of Kings in all previous Nine Streams Conferences!

At this time, on the Summit of the Spiritual Mountain, the clouds had completely dispersed, revealing two more thrones rising beside the original four, making a total of six suspended thrones!

Wei Wuxian and Ling Yin both took a throne, each triggering celestial phenomena that connected heaven and earth.

All six sat upon the thrones; towering beams of light erupted from each, rising into the sky, transforming into six dragons that roamed above Spirit Mountain.

In an instant, six dragons vied for supremacy, dimming the skies, altering the winds and clouds.

”They’ve actually crowned six kings!”

A young genius looked stunned.

”You don’t understand. The number of Kings has never been fixed. It’s just that previous eras were too mediocre, while today’s era is one of great talent!” Another young genius remarked eagerly.

”It truly is a grand era...”

The initial young genius nodded, ”Even the King of Snowy Night and Holy Heart Queen, despite losing their thrones, are powerful. They simply faced opponents more exceptional than themselves; in past years, they wouldn’t have lost their thrones.”

Ling Chen sat upon the northern throne, feeling an intense surge of fortune with the instant publication of the Talent Rankings, greater than when he won the championship at the Heavenly Sword Conference.

This is the fortune belonging to the Youth Kings.

Of course, if they’re slain, this fortune can be seized.

”Congratulations to the six for becoming the new generation of Youth Kings!”

The White Robed Swordsman bowed slightly to them, ”I hope you six will lead by example and continue striving, being role models for the youth across the world.”

Ling Chen and the others nodded in agreement, bearing the fortune of Kings that would bring future benefits.

However, this fortune also carried significant risks.

And with that, the Nine Streams Conference was essentially concluded.

The young generation beneath Spirit Mountain began to retreat.

”Heavenly Eye King, in six months, I wish to challenge you again.”

At that moment, the King of Taisu suddenly turned to Ling Yin, eyes filled with a resolve for battle.

Drawing a tie with Ling Yin was a significant blow to the King of Taisu, especially considering she was merely a twenty-something young girl.

Even though Bewildering Heavenly Eye could harm him now, it might not be the same in six months.

”I’ll be there anytime.”

Ling Yin cast a calm glance at him, nodding lightly in agreement.

The King of Taisu nodded, ”Very well, the location for our duel will be at Mount Kunlun in Yongzhou, and I shall arrive on time to await Your Excellency!”

”Six months later, King of Taisu challenges Heavenly Eye King at the summit of Kunlun!”

As soon as Ling Yin agreed, the news spread like a whirlwind amongst the crowd, causing a huge sensation.

Dueling among Youth Kings is standard, but such high-level duels promise to be spectacular and unmissable.

”Wei Wuxian, since that’s the case, shall we also have a duel in six months to determine a victor?”

Then, the King of Golden Buddha turned to Wei Wuxian, issuing a challenge.

”Alright!”

Wei Wuxian accepted without a wasteful word; meanwhile, his gaze shifted towards Ling Chen who was not far away, saying, ”Ling Chen, our duel hasn’t happened yet; shall we set it for six months later?”

”No problem.”

Ling Chen nodded; Wei Wuxian was a Sword Demon’s Descendant, perhaps achieving a genuine Sword Devil in six months, facing him not as the Demon Sword King but battling the Sword Devil himself.

His gaze briefly landed on Xuannv opposite him, and he smiled slightly, ”Your Excellency Xuannv, will you be coming too?”

”If all of you are going, it feels inadequate not to go.”

Xuannv nodded ambiguously.

”What? The King of Golden Buddha and Demon Sword King are also set for a duel? Demon Sword King Wei Wuxian is to battle King of Ten Thousand Swords Ling Chen?”

”Even the Mysterious Female King is going!”

The youth generation boiled with excitement once more.

”That’s perfect. In six months, I will wash away today’s shame.”

The King of Snowy Night’s eyes flashed; losing to Ling Chen was a significant setback for him, although the throne now belonged to Ling Chen, he aimed to prove to the world that he held the prowess to reclaim it anytime.

”Haha, a battle among six kings, interesting.”

The White Robed Swordsman smiled, nodding; the gathering of six Youth Kings at the summit of Mount Kunlun, once spread, would attract not only the youth generation but likely draw veteran Saints as well.

After all, in today’s era of talent abundance, these six could sweep lower-level Saints and stand proud even among Saint Level warriors.

They are fully qualified to challenge the figures from their respective Domains.

With the profound Dharma of the King of Golden Buddha, the Sword Demon’s Descendant Wei Wuxian, the King of Ten Thousand Swords Ling Chen, and the unbeatable Heavenly Eyes of Ling Yin...

Counting the days, six months from today will be September 8th, a clear autumn day, a fitting time for battles and exchanging swords.

”Everyone, see you in six months!”

The King of Golden Buddha first saluted everyone, then stepped down from the throne and left the scene.

”Wei Wuxian, what are your plans?” Ling Chen looked towards Wei Wuxian who was not far away.

”Six months isn’t a long time; I’ll refine myself across the Nine Provinces Land without returning to Penglai temporarily.” Wei Wuxian replied.

”Alright then.”

Ling Chen nodded; making the round trip would indeed be quite bothersome.

”See you in six months, I hope you won’t let me down then.”

Wei Wuxian gazed deeply at Ling Chen, already seeing Ling Chen as his greatest rival in life, even over the King of Golden Buddha, whom he didn’t take seriously; only Ling Chen filled his eyes.

”Rest assured.”

Ling Chen smirked slightly; he’s always been the one surpassing others, never being surpassed, even against a Sword Way prodigy like Wei Wuxian.
