In this world, no one knows better than Gu Qingxi how difficult it is to refine a fairy sword. She finds it hard to believe that the ancestor of the Xiao family has such ability.
Besides, if the Dingtian Sword is really a fairy sword, even if it has not recognized its master and only protects the Xiao family, the Xiao family would have surpassed the four great magic cultivation families and become one of the hidden families. How could it still be in such a position now?
"The Dingtian Sword is indeed a divine sword, not a fairy sword. It is only because of the special refining method of the ancestor that it has such a sword power. However, no one knows what is special about his sword refining method." Xiao Yutang has also seen the Jiuli Mingxu Sword. He guessed what Gu Qingxi was surprised about and explained again.
The more Gu Qingxi listened, the more surprised she was. She was really interested in the refining method of the Dingtian Sword, but Xiao Yutang saw her thoughts and gave this answer in advance, which was not an answer. Of course, she couldn't ask further.
"Then, what is the difference in the test of the Dingtian Sword?" After a pause, Gu Qingxi got back to the point.
Knowing that the Dingtian Sword could exert a sword power comparable to the peak of the fusion without relying on the sword master, she did not dare to be careless and her expression became serious.
"Other artifacts usually test strength or talent and understanding, but the Dingtian Sword tests luck." Xiao Yutang said.
"Luck?" Gu Qingxi was a little puzzled.
"Yes, it's luck." Xiao Yutang nodded and said solemnly, "Not long after the first patriarch passed away, people came to challenge the Xiao family.
Among them were demon cultivators and immortals. Most of them wanted to use the Xiao family as a stepping stone to gain fame and fortune, and some were instigated by other families and wanted to use this method to make our Xiao family restless.
In desperation, the second patriarch could only take out the Dingtian Sword and said that as long as you pass the test of the Dingtian Sword, you will be the most distinguished guest of our Xiao family.
In this way, those cultivators who wanted to step on the Xiao family to rise to power naturally had nothing to say, and those families with ulterior motives could not find a reason to object even if they were unwilling.
The test that year, of course, was not One person passed, and the Xiao family established its position second only to the four great demon cultivation families, and no one dared to challenge them easily.
However, the rule set by the head of the family was not abandoned. In the thousands of years since then, there have been occasional people who came to challenge them. Of course, these people had no ill intentions, they just wanted to see the legendary Dingtian Sword.
What's funny is that so many powerful people in the realm of transformation and even fusion failed to pass the test of the Dingtian Sword, but two Yuanying and one Jindan cultivators passed.
It was not until then that we realized that the Dingtian Sword test is not strength or talent, but luck. "
Speaking of it later, Xiao Yutang himself didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What happened to those cultivators who passed the test?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"Not very good. One Nascent Soul cultivator reached the middle stage of the Spiritualization and could no longer make any progress. Another Nascent Soul cultivator went crazy and exploded when he was breaking through the Spiritualization. The worst was the Golden Core cultivator. He went to Fuyang Mountain to find an opportunity to break through and was bitten to death by a monster. It is said that when several fellow disciples found him, only a bloody leg was left, which was covered with monster teeth marks." Xiao Yutang replied.
"You are talking about luck, not destiny, right?" Gu Qingxi said with a curled lip.
The so-called destiny refers to the fate and fortune that runs through a person's life.
If you have good luck, you will be happy from beginning to end, and you will always have unexpected surprises.
Take the two Nascent Souls and one Golden Core mentioned by Xiao Yutang. If they really have good luck, then not only can they pass the test of the Dingtian Sword, but their cultivation path will also be smooth sailing, and they can at least cultivate to the Great Perfection of the Spiritualization.
How could it be possible that he would only reach the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation and then stagnate, or that he would go crazy and explode in order to break through the Spiritual Transformation, or that he would be so unlucky that he would be eaten by a monster and only have one leg left.
As for luck, there is no need to explain it. Someone picked up a wallet on the road today, and was hit on the head by a flower pot when he went out tomorrow. That was all luck, good or bad is only temporary.
What Xiao Yutang said was obviously luck, and it had nothing to do with destiny.
"We are a family of cultivators. Isn't it better to say luck?" Xiao Yutang smiled awkwardly, and then said seriously, "In short, whether you can pass the test of Dingtian Sword depends on luck. If you are
lucky, you can pass it, but since the death of our ancestor, there have been thousands of cultivators who have participated in the test, and only three have passed it.
If you are unlucky, even a strong person in the fusion realm will be seriously injured and his cultivation will decline. If his cultivation is only at the transformation realm, his life may be in danger."
No wonder Xiao Yutang was so nervous, and the eyes of the younger generation such as Xiao Yuhua looked at him as if he were a dead person. So this is the reason. Gu Qingxi finally understood.
Although her luck has always been good, she herself doesn't think she is luckier than those three cultivators.
But she is a little skeptical. Did those three people pass the test really rely on luck? Is there any other reason that is unknown to the Xiao family?
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to take part in the test. It's just a few days anyway. Once the family competition is over, I will go to Dingtian City and personally invite you to my Xiao family as a guest." Seeing Gu Qingxi fall silent, Xiao Yujin spoke up.
He just wanted to give Xiao Yutang a warning and save his face, but he didn't want to offend Gu Qingxi, nor did he want to offend the Renxin League and the Zhendan League.
If Gu Qingxi was seriously injured or lost his life in the test, then he would have a big grudge against the Renxin League and the Zhendan League.
"Don't bother Mr. Xiao, I just happen to want to see this ancestral sword of the Xiao family, so let's give it a try." Gu Qingxi said lightly.
She was protective of her own shortcomings and always helped her relatives instead
of the others. Moreover, this time Xiao Yutang was in the right, so she certainly couldn't let Xiao Yujin's conspiracy succeed. More importantly, she was really curious about the Dingtian Sword and wanted to find out what this strange sword had to do with her in her previous life.
"Qingxi, the Dingtian Sword is very powerful, you must not be careless." Xiao Yutang was anxious when he heard this.
There was no other way. According to the records of the Xiao family's "Clan Chronicles", there were too many strong men who died or were disabled by the Dingtian Sword in the early years, including those who were at the peak of the fusion or even the great perfection of the fusion.
So even though he was Gu Qingxi's most loyal fan, he couldn't help but worry about her.
"Yes, Senior Sister Gu, although other aristocratic sects also use artifacts to test their disciples, our Xiao family's Dingtian Sword is really different. It can kill people." Xiao Yuhua followed and advised.
As long as you are a child of the Xiao family, who doesn't know how terrible the Dingtian Sword is? Among the younger generation of the Xiao family, he admired Xiao Yutang the most, and of course he didn't want to see his friend get into trouble.
