Having obtained the position of Outer Sect Elder and the Elder's token, Chen Zhou was now ready to accept the tasks assigned to him by the sect.
The greater the reward and the more prosperous the reputation, the greater the danger that lies within.
"The final reward is the Sword Cloud Body Refinement."
"Clang, clang..." A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
The legendary Sword Cloud Sect is famous for its Sword Cloud Body Refinement, and it is precisely because of the Sword Cloud Body Refinement that the Sword Cloud Sect has produced so many powerful swordsmen.
Sword Cloud Body Refinement is a unique body refinement technique of the Sword Cloud Sect. It is generally only used by elders and sect leaders. Those who can obtain the opportunity to refine their bodies through Sword Cloud are usually people who have made great contributions to the sect.
The winner of this sect competition will actually receive a Sword Cloud Body Refinement.
This shocked everyone present.
The rewards for the winners of the usual sect competitions are also generous and attractive, but none have ever attracted this much attention.
It seems that the Sword Cloud Sect has indeed gone all out for this sect competition.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the Grand Elder continued to announce the rewards for the next few people without changing his expression.
What others didn't know was that the Grand Elder was also feeling a pang of heartache.
The rewards for this sect competition were not determined by the seven elders. In previous years, they had always set the rewards for the sect competition. However, the sect leader, who had been in seclusion, suddenly sent a message a few days ago, saying that he had already decided on the rewards for this sect competition.
No matter how powerful the seven elders are, they cannot surpass the power of the sect leader alone.
Therefore, the rewards for this sect competition had to be arranged according to the sect leader's plan.
The letter also clearly stated that the Sword Cloud Body Refinement must be carried out by all seven elders simultaneously.
All of this demonstrates how much the sect leader values this sect competition.
Normally, when those who have made significant contributions to the sect undergo the Sword Cloud Body Refinement, it is presided over by the top five elders. This time, however, the sect leader actually requested that all seven elders participate.
Chen Zhou received his reward early and obediently returned to his seat. Since he had no storage space, he carried the Heavy Sword by hand.
Why is this thing so heavy?
Chen Zhou was puzzled. Shouldn't swords be light and agile? What's wrong with this sword?
Moreover, everyone else's swords were so imposing and dazzling. In contrast, Chen Zhou would have thought his so-called soul weapon sword was just a pile of scrap metal if no one had pointed it out to him.
The sword was sparsely covered with various holes, and the edge was uneven, giving it a jagged appearance.
The only thing that caught Chen Zhou's eye was the blue patterns on it. Since Chen Zhou had never handled a Soul Weapon before, he had no idea how to use it.
He thought that his master should be able to teach him.
Soon after, all the awards were presented, and the ceremony officially ended. Chen Zhou was taken away by the seven elders, and all the audience members left one after another.
Jiang Ying was no exception.
She was also leaving.
Her departure was not simply leaving the Sword Cloud Sect's mountain, but leaving the Sword Cloud Sect altogether.
Chen Zhou followed behind her master, the Third Elder, stepping onto the Wooden Yin Sword. This was her first time experiencing sword flight.
As Chen Zhou flew above the white clouds, he could clearly see the clouds passing by him, and looking down, he could see the familiar peaks of the Sword Cloud Sect.
Flying over one mountain after another, Chen Zhou and the five elders ventured deep into the mountains.
Chen Zhou had never been to this mountain range before, and he didn't even know that there was such a mountain range behind the Jianyun Sect's mountains.
This really surprised Chen Zhou.
He had lived in the Sword Cloud Sect for over a decade and had no idea these mountain ranges existed.
Logically speaking, it's impossible.
"Chen Zhou, have you ever seen this mountain range?" The Third Elder, standing at the front of the Wooden Yin Sword, suddenly asked.
"Master, I have never seen him before," Chen Zhou said honestly.
"That's right if you haven't seen it before. This mountain range is called Yunshan, which is the place where the successive sect leaders of Jianyun Sect have lived in seclusion and cultivated. It has long been hidden by the sect leaders using secret agents. Ordinary people can't see it at all."
Hearing the Third Elder's explanation, Chen Zhou nodded.
How strong is the sect leader of the Sword Cloud Sect? How was he able to hide an entire mountain range? This was the first time Chen Zhou had ever seen such a secret technique.
Faced with such a magical secret technique and all the amazing things happening before his eyes, Chen Zhou looked forward to his future life even more.
Chen Zhou didn't even know the exact strength of the seven elders, let alone the strength of the Sword Cloud Sect Master.
As they were talking, Chen Zhou and his group arrived at the center of Yunshan Mountain and finally landed on a mountain peak surrounded by clouds and mist.
The decorations on the cloud-shrouded mountain caught Chen Zhou's eye; a huge bronze archway stood before him.
Above the massive archway were six bronze swords, five of which Chen Zhou had seen before—the five divine swords belonging to the five elders.
Standing in the center of the five divine swords was a sword that Chen Zhou had never seen before. It had gorgeous golden stripes on it and its blade was extremely thick, twice the size of the other five swords.
What's baffling is that behind the archway is a huge bronze iron door, tightly locked.
The seven elders knelt down with a "thud," immediately cupped their hands, and said in unison, "Sect Master!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Zhou immediately adopted the same posture as the seven elders, but before he could speak...
The bronze gate slowly opened, and the greatsword on the bronze archway suddenly lit up, its golden stripes radiating a magnificent light.
The door slowly opened, and Chen Zhou could clearly feel the true energy surging out from within!
