Chapter 72 A Sword's Frost Chills Across Fourteen Provinces (5)
All the disciples gathered at the entrance of the Sword Pavilion, and the peak masters also had serious expressions, as they too were to enter the Sword Pavilion from the Questioning Platform.
At this moment, many disciples gathered at the exit of the Sword Pavilion. Who wouldn't be curious about which peerless sword someone had taken out? The elders of the outer sect were also waiting here, just like the parents of students taking the college entrance examination, anxiously waiting.
Tantai Mingshu appeared at the Questioning Platform at this moment, accompanied by a young girl. The girl wore a half-mask, covering her eyebrows and eyes, revealing only a hint of her cherry lips, which made people even more curious.
The other elders from the peaks also arrived, and they were quite curious about the girl in front of them. She was a disciple of the Sword Master Po Yue! When they were young, they had also dreamed of becoming disciples of the Sword Master Po Yue, but unfortunately, he didn't take a liking to them.
Po Yue Sword Master can be considered a powerful figure in the Juque Sword Sect. He is a Tribulation Transcending stage expert, just one step away from ascension, with a cultivation level of half a step Golden Immortal. This is the source of the Juque Sword Sect's confidence when it ventures out into the world.
The fact that this powerful being who has transcended tribulation has chosen such a young girl as his disciple means that this girl may surpass all the geniuses in the future and become the brightest star of this generation.
Just like the Sword Master of Broken Peak who annihilated the soul with a single sword strike back then, and just like every master of Broken Peak.
These peak masters have lived for over a hundred years, yet they are now merely Luo Shu's senior brothers. There's nothing they can do; Po Yue Sword Venerable is of a high seniority, and everyone knows his reputation as the number one person in the world. These senior brothers of such an age can only reluctantly accept Luo Shu as their junior sister.
Among them, Lei Yun Dao Ren had the most complicated feelings. His disciple had now become his junior sister, and he felt a mix of emotions that were difficult to discern.
But now was not the time for reminiscing. Luo Shu greeted them one by one, and the group entered the Questioning Platform. Passing the Questioning Platform was naturally no challenge for Luo Shu. She cultivated the supreme Dao and was a future Dao Lord, so how could she be stumped by this?
The peak masters watched as Luo Shu showed no sign of being distracted, and secretly admired her. As expected of Po Yue Peak, the successor's Dao heart was extremely firm.
When the group arrived at the entrance of the Sword Pavilion, the disciples were already waiting in formation, their expressions solemn as they had been waiting there for a long time.
Luo Shu stood out among the group of peak masters. The disciples of the Giant Sword Sect could guess a thing or two, but the outer sects naturally didn't know. Miao Qiqi and Zhang Zhaonan were very surprised when they saw Luo Shu; they recognized her.
The image of Luo Shu destroying her sword bone had been a nightmare for the two of them for a long time, so it's no wonder they could recognize her at a glance. In the past year, Luo Shu's figure hadn't changed much, but her demeanor and bearing had become even more graceful, making her look quite extraordinary.
Miao Qiqi even cried out "Senior Sister Luo" in a low voice, but naturally did not receive any glances from Luo Shu. However, Zhang Zhaonan next to her seemed to be awakened. No matter what Luo Shu's identity was at this moment, she was definitely not someone they could approach.
He patted Miao Qiqi on the shoulder. This was not a good time to talk. The two exchanged glances and decided to leave it at that for the time being.
Sect Master Tantai Mingshu spoke in a dignified and resonant voice: "Disciples, today we choose swords. May you all return with a full load and have your wishes fulfilled. Remember, your own safety comes first. All disciples, listen to my command and enter the Sword Pavilion."
"Your disciple will keep in mind the Patriarch's teachings."
A unified voice resounded through the sky as the disciples eagerly entered the Sword Pavilion. Luo Shu was the last to enter; by then, there were no disciples left outside.
The moment Luo Shu stepped into the Sword Pavilion, her first feeling was one of solemnity. This was another cemetery, where the past, glory, and blood of famous swords were buried, sleeping together until they were awakened again.
Various famous swords are inserted diagonally into the spirit stones, which is also a way to maintain the famous swords. Only a sect like Juque would have such a grand gesture of piling up spirit stones here.
Luo Shu comprehended the Great Dao, and her Dao is suitable for any sword. She is like an emperor, and famous swords are like generals under her command. Who would not want to assist a wise emperor in conquering battlefields and leaving a lasting legacy?
Wherever Luo Shu passed, all the precious swords trembled slightly, wanting to fly towards her, but they were suppressed by other, more powerful swords. It is true that famous swords choose their masters, but the one in front of her is the future Dao Lord, so even famous swords have to compete for the position!
Luo Shu walked to the very center, where many disciples had already chosen their favorite swords and were working hard to acquire them.
Several top disciples of the Giant Sword Sect were also in the center of the Sword Pavilion. They were more talented and ambitious than ordinary people. Disciples from other sects would also gather here, none of them willing to be inferior to others.
Miao Qiqi was also here. She had a good relationship with these prodigies, so when she said she wanted to broaden her horizons, they brought her here. It was kind of those disciples to spare a thought to protect her while they were subduing the famous sword.
At this moment, Miao Qiqi saw Luo Shu coming this way, and she murmured with her pearly white teeth biting her lip, "Senior Sister Luo Shu".
Luo Shu walked forward with a calm expression. These swords were all good, but none of them were what she wanted, until she saw the most famous sword in the sword hut—Chixiao.
This is the sword of one of the sect leaders of the Giant Sword Sect. After its master ascended to immortality, the sword was left in the Sword Pavilion. It is said that a wisp of divine thought of the ascended great power is still attached to it. Well, this sword is like having latched onto a powerful patron. Who wouldn't be envious?
However, Luo Shu ignored Chi Xiao and chose the unremarkable, gray, and unsharpened longsword next to her. This sword was so inconspicuous that others might not even give it a second glance. At this moment, Luo Shu held this sword in her hand.
The peak masters of the other peaks were also secretly observing Luo Shu. When they saw that Luo Shu had chosen this sword, they were also somewhat puzzled, as they did not know the origin of this sword.
Some of the swords in the Sword Pavilion belonged to fallen disciples. Following a wisp of aura from the disciples' soul lamps, they returned to the Sword Pavilion. Not everyone would recognize these swords.
Could it be that the disciple of the Broken Mountain Sword Master actually chose such a sword?
Only Tantai Mingshu stared wide-eyed in shock. The others didn't recognize the sword, so how could he not?
This is a treasure that the Giant Sword Sect has guarded for generations. The only owner of this sword can be Dao Jun.
For tens of thousands of years, no cultivator has ever mastered the true essence of the Great Dao. There is only one owner of this sword, and that is the Dao Lord.
Has a Dao Lord appeared in their Giant Sword Sect?
Then Luo Shu grasped the longsword and released her sword intent. The longsword vibrated and hummed, and the rust on the sword body faded away. This sword seemed to be heavier than ordinary swords, with a kind of ancient and grand feeling. It was still unsharpened, and two large characters were written on it: "Jun Tian".
The moment Luo Shu released her sword intent, all the swords present trembled and flew into the air, seemingly wanting to fly to Luo Shu's side. This is what it means for ten thousand swords to pay homage to the source.
This incredible scene stunned everyone.
What kind of sword intent is this? It's enough to attract so many precious swords.
Then, the longsword in Luo Shu's hand emitted a sword cry, a clear and melodious sound that instantly suppressed all the other swords. The other swords were suppressed and became listless, and were reinserted into the spirit stones. Only the few famous swords in the very center seemed to want to make a final effort, and quietly tried to get closer to Luo Shu, but were then swung away by the Juntian Sword.
At this moment, no one dared to touch Luo Shu's sword anymore. Didn't you see that the sword even suppressed the Crimson Sky Sword?
What's even more intriguing is Luo Shu's sword intent. What kind of suggestion could trigger the extraordinary phenomenon of ten thousand swords converging on the same path?
All the peak masters also clearly saw the two large characters on the sword: Juntian.
Their expressions were also complex, ranging from initial surprise to disbelief, and then to ecstatic joy.
Living to their age, how could they not have heard of Juntian?
This is the sword of a Dao Lord. Whoever obtains it will become the future Dao Lord. However, it has not appeared in the world for a thousand years. No one knows that it is sleeping in the small sword hut of the Juque Sword Sect, waiting for the new Dao Lord to awaken it.
Does this mean that the new Dao Lord comes from their Giant Sword Sect?
This is truly wonderful! Heaven has bestowed upon the magnificent palace! Heaven has bestowed upon the magnificent palace!
