"Sword Tower?"
Gu Qingfeng was a little confused: "What is the sword tower?"
"The Sword Tower is the trial ground for the disciples of Jianmen. Inside are the projections of the geniuses of Jianmen Holy Land throughout the ages. When you enter it, you can fight and exchange ideas with the many geniuses who have existed in Jianmen over the past tens of thousands of years and improve your combat experience." Chief Lin explained.
Gu Qingfeng was even more confused: "Senior Sister Lin wants me to go and gain some experience?"
Chief Lin shook his head and said, "Listen to me. The Sword Tower has a ranking list. There is a list called the Tianjiao List. The Tianjiao List includes the names of the top fighters in each realm below the Heavenly Realm. The stronger the fighter in the same realm, the higher the ranking.
You are now at the level of Human Yuan Shen Dan, I hope you can make it into the top ten of the Human Yuan Shen Dan list! As long as you can make it into the top ten, I will teach you the Heaven Sealing Forbidden Technique. "
"Can I ask why?"
"Because I want you to make the Sword Formation lineage famous! Do you know how many of the top 100 in the major realm rankings are from my Sword Formation lineage?"
"How much?"
Master Lin stretched out a finger as white as jade.
Gu Qingfeng was surprised and asked, "Only 10%!?"
Chief Lin shook his head: "Not 10%, but one person."
"Ah? Just one person?"
This time, Gu Qingfeng was really surprised. Among the top 100 people in the rankings of various realms, there was only one person from the sword formation lineage?
This sword formation is too lame.
"Yes, just one person."
"Who is this person?"
"This seat's eldest disciple, the Saintess of Qingshuang Peak, Nangong Xue."
Nangong Xue?
This was the second time Gu Qingfeng heard this name. The last time the woman said this name, her mouth was swollen.
Gu Qingfeng subconsciously looked at Master Lin’s tender little mouth.
"Xue'er possesses a flawless divine body, which is why she was able to rank among the top 100 among all the geniuses of Jianmen. Otherwise, no one in the top 100 would be from the Jianmen lineage."
"Senior Sister Lin, is our sword formation lineage a little bit..."
"I know what you want to say. Do you think the sword formation lineage is weak?"
The corner of Gu Qingfeng's mouth twitched. In fact, he didn't want to say weak, but wanted to say rubbish.
This is too fucking spicy!
If it weren't for the Heaven-Sealing Forbidden Rule, I would never have chosen the Sword Formation lineage!
“In fact, the Sword Formation lineage is not weak. There are three reasons why it is not ranked high. First, the Sword Tower Prodigy List does not only record the current Sword Sect prodigies, but also the prodigies that have appeared in the Sword Sect over the past tens of thousands of years since ancient times. The Sword Formation lineage was only born five thousand years ago, so there are very few prodigies.
The second reason is that the sword tower tests the disciples' own strength rather than external objects, so no magical weapons can be used inside, and the sword in the hand can only be condensed from one's own divine power.
This rule greatly restricted the sword formation lineage. As we all know, the sword formation lineage relies on multiple swords to form a sword formation in order to exert its power. However, in the sword tower, one can only rely on one's own divine power to condense into a sword. However, this not only greatly consumes divine power, but the quality is definitely not as good as that of divine weapons, and the combat effectiveness is naturally reduced.
Third, the strongest point of the sword formation lineage has never been individual strength, but collective strength. If several people form a formation, they can still not be at a disadvantage even when facing an enemy who is one realm higher than them. However, the Sword Tower does not allow this method and only tests personal strength.
To sum up, that’s why the Sword Formation lineage ranks so low.” Chief Lin sighed.
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng understood. He himself also used sword formations and knew how abnormal the Gengjin Sword Formation composed of thousands of magical weapons was. It can be said that the sword formation lineage not only relies on the exquisiteness of the sword formation, but also on the quality of the sword.
It’s a money-burning industry.
No wonder it ranks so low.
"I see." Gu Qingfeng nodded.
"The traditional sword cultivation lineage often talks about the Sword Tower rankings, so I hope you can represent the Sword Formation lineage and get into the top ten! Fight for the Sword Formation lineage.
Although you have only cultivated to the third level of the human element now, you possess dual holy bodies, and your potential is rare in the world. As long as you concentrate on practicing and cultivate to the peak of the human element, and then challenge the Sword Tower, you will definitely be in the top ten!
During this period, I will send someone to teach you the way of sword formation to enhance your strength."
"What? I have to cultivate to the peak of the human element before I can challenge the Sword Tower? Then when can I get the Heaven Sealing Forbidden?"
Gu Qingfeng was unhappy, he couldn't wait.
“Junior Brother Gu, although you are extremely talented, you cannot be complacent.” Chief Lin frowned slightly.
“The Human Yuan Shen Dan Ranking that you are about to challenge contains the geniuses of the Sword Sect throughout the generations. Those who can enter the top 100 of the list are all at the peak of Human Yuan cultivation, not to mention the top 10. The top 10 are all peerless geniuses without exception. They later grew up and basically became powerful men who dominated the world at that time.
I have heard about your achievements in the Xuantian Secret Realm, and that you were able to defeat Tianyuan. However, you did not rely on your own strength, but on the Gengjin Sword Formation composed of thousands of magic swords. This method cannot be used in the Sword Tower.
I have a rough idea of your true strength. With the dual holy bodies, it should not be a problem for you to fight ordinary peak human beings at the third level of human beings. However, those peak human beings in the top 100 of the sword tower are not ordinary peak human beings. They all have the strength to challenge higher-level masters, so it is better for you to cultivate to the peak human beings before going."
Gu Qingfeng rolled his eyes when he heard this. Do you know my true strength?
You have several ders!
Although I have entered the Sword Sect and can be considered a sword cultivator, the sword is only my weakest means. I have always spoken with my fists.
Have you heard of the One Punch Sword Immortal?
I have fully unleashed my Prison-Suppressing Dragon-Elephant body, along with the Barbarian Totem. With one punch, even the immortals who haven’t transcended the tribulation will kneel down and call me daddy.
When Master Lin saw Gu Qingfeng's expression, he immediately knew that he was disdainful and thought that his dual holy bodies were invincible at the same level.
So he said, "It is settled now. You will first follow my eldest disciple and learn the art of sword formation for a while."
As Chief Lin said this, he sent a voice message, calling Nangong Xue to come over.
Gu Qingfeng was a little surprised: "Senior Sister Lin, why don't you teach me in person? I am also your uncle after all, is it appropriate for you to let a junior teach me?"
Master Lin shook his head and suddenly sighed: "Ah, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but I really don't have time. My inner demon calamity is coming, and I must prepare early."
Inner demon tribulation?
Gu Qingfeng's heart moved. He knew that the cultivation in the Heavenly Man Realm required going through the Five Heavenly Man Tribulations. After entering the Heavenly Man Realm, everything was fine at first, but as you gradually cultivated to perfection, if you wanted to improve again, you would encounter tribulations.
That is the so-called five calamities of heaven and man, namely, the calamity of Bifeng, the calamity of Yinhuo, the calamity of heavenly thunder, the calamity of the physical body, and the calamity of the inner demon.
Once the catastrophe begins, it will not stop unless the person who is trying to overcome it dies or everyone survives it. It will automatically come every five hundred years.
This Senior Sister Lin has to overcome the inner demon tribulation, which means that she is now a four-tribulation celestial being, at the same level as Meng Yan, the head of Ni Lin Peak.
I just don’t know if this inner demon can be considered a demon?
If that counts, then wouldn't it be... hehehe...
