Volume 2, Chapter 1: A New Beginning: Sword Sect.
Time flies, the years pass by like a shuttle.
Above the three heavens, on the edge of the boundry sea, a city suddenly emerged in the originally barren land.
The city was built on a fertile plain, without any natural barriers, but it was covered by countless formations.
The tall buildings in the city stand tall, reaching the sky, stacked up layer upon layer, densely packed, so spectacular.
This city is said to be the number one city in the Three Heavens, and it is worthy of the name. However, everyone in the Three Heavens knows that this place is not a city, but a sect, and it is the number one sect in the Three Heavens, and its name is the Sword Sect.
Therefore, some people also call this place Sword Sect City.
It is also the land of the three heavens today, a place that all the geniuses of the three tribes yearn for.
Before he appeared, the edge of the sea was barren and uninhabited. After he appeared, it became the most prosperous place in the long river.
Today, within ten miles outside Jianzong City, several wide roads were crowded with people and cars.
A long rainbow shot out from the sky, and warships avoided the sun in the green fields.
Countless students came here. Among them were poor scholars with nothing, knights traveling in groups of two or three, and young men and beautiful women surrounded by a large crowd.
If you look closely, among these people, there are not only humans, but also demons and monsters.
They all came here from three different places, all for the purpose of participating in the Sword Sect's disciple selection held every ten years.
As mentioned before, the Sword Sect is the number one sect in the Three Heavens. It can be said that being able to enter the Sword Sect to practice is the lifelong dream of every person in the Three Heavens.
At this time, at the entrance to the city, the crowd was lined up in dozens of long queues in an orderly manner, heading towards the city.
On the top of the city wall, a group of Sword Sect disciples dressed in white and holding long swords stood on the city wall. The sunlight shone down, illuminating their sharp faces, making them look particularly majestic and solemn.
Under the city gate, a dozen monks who looked like scholars were holding pens and ink, recording the information of people coming and going. After the registration was completed, they would give a jade slip to the registered person, and only then could outsiders enter the city.
Although the Sword Sect's city is not high, there is a magnificent formation on top of the city wall. No one can enter without a jade token, so no matter who comes, it will be useless.
Even if you are an emperor at the peak of your powers, without an identity jade token, when you arrive at the city, you have to land obediently and register before you can enter.
It's so arrogant.
"Next one?"
"Okay, you can go in."
"Next?"
A young man hurried forward with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, sir."
The gentleman holding the pen never raised his head, but asked calmly, "Name, age, race, spiritual roots, realm, can you tell me all at once?"
"Jiang Feng, 20 years old, demon race, top-grade spiritual roots, first-grade immortal realm."
"Are you here for the selection?"
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Scholar began to register.
The Sword Sect's selection follows the same method as that of Broken Sword Mountain. There is no age limit or realm limit, and anyone who is willing can participate. However, there is one catch: you must pass the test, and each person only has one chance in their lifetime.
Anyone who passes the test can directly become an outer disciple of the Sword Sect and enjoy the Sword Sect’s internal skills, internal benefits, etc.
Any outer sect disciple who reaches the realm of Immortal King will be automatically promoted to become an inner sect disciple.
As for the inner disciples, they need to break through to the Immortal Emperor level before they can be ranked in the Sword Sect's Sword Hall.
Currently, there are 1,236 people in the Sword Sect's Sword Hall, so there are 1,236 Immortal Emperors in the Sword Sect, which is exactly 10 times the total number of Immortal Emperors in the human world back then. This shows how powerful they are.
As Mr. Shusheng finished writing, a jade slip was handed to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng took it with both hands and thanked him respectfully, "Thank you, sir."
"And take this. Once you enter this sect, you must abide by the rules of the Sword Sect. You must remember to read the laws here. If you violate the rules and order, you can't blame others."
"Yes, yes, I know. I know."
The Sword Sect has its own methods. When entering the Sword Sect city, everyone must have a manual on the basic methods of the Sword Sect.
There are many rules here. Unlike the outside world, the laws here are strict. Anyone who violates the laws of the Sword Sect will be severely punished by the Sword Sect's Law Enforcement Hall and will be killed if they say so.
Jiang Feng took a step back and waited for his fellow villager Jiang Su to come in together. They came out of the village together.
Taking advantage of this gap, he opened the manual in his hand. There was no law on the first page, but a paragraph of words.
Jiang Feng saw it and immediately felt his sea of consciousness roar and shake.
The existence of laws is the foundation of civilization, but what is civilization?
Explanation: It makes the weak not afraid, the strong not arrogant, the powerful not overbearing, makes the world fairer, makes the wicked afraid of doing evil, and allows the good to be at peace, so it is called civilization.
So he established this method to restrain the eight directions——Sword Ancestor Ye Tingmu.
Looking at the lines of text and the signature, Jiang Feng closed the book. He looked at the door behind him and saw the Sword Sect.
He murmured something, but I didn't know what he said.
He yearned for the Sword Sect, not because the Sword Sect’s training resources were so good, but because his idol, or the person he wanted to pursue all his life, was in the Sword Sect.
The person who said this is the founder of the Sword Sect, the strongest person in the world today, Sword Ancestor Ye Tingmu.
Jiang Feng had heard too many stories about him. To them, Ye Tingmu was a myth. His entire life was a myth, and there were countless stories about him that had been circulating for three days.
Of course, the most impressive story, and his favorite, is when the Sword Ancestor stepped on the sky.
Every time people tell the story of him slaying the Heavenly Punishment, they can't help but get their blood boiling. He came here today to join the Sword Sect, hoping to see the Sword Master's style in the future, and to be able to step on the sky like him.
While he was thinking, his fellow countrymen also finished registering.
"What are you doing now that you've left the front?"
"It's okay, just go in once you're done. I can't wait."
"Hahaha, I dream of coming to the Sword Sect."
"Do you think we can meet the Sword Ancestor?"
"For a man as important as him, it would probably be difficult."
"Okay, let's pass the test first."
"Don't worry, I believe you, you can do it."
The two chatted as they walked inside.
After passing a formation in the city, they officially entered the territory of the Sword Sect.
When you first enter this room, the first thing you see is people.
Next is a huge square that extends in all directions, with countless avenues leading to every corner of the city.
In the center of the square, there is a large pool, which is as big as ten football fields and is quite magnificent.
It was summer at the time, and the lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom. In the center of the pond, a fountain was gushing out.
A stone statue rises from the ground, more than twenty feet high, and is carved so lifelike that it seems to be alive.
Anyone who has just entered this place will be attracted by it and can't help but want to admire and worship it.
Jiang Feng's Adam's apple moved as he swallowed his saliva.
"Too real, is this the Sword Ancestor? Even a stone statue has such great power that makes people tremble, how can I be like this?"
