Tianhong Mountain has seven peaks and three valleys, and is known as a circuit of peaks with eighteen turns. The terrain is dangerous and the peaks rise one after another, making it extremely beautiful.
This mountain is the largest mountain range in Tianjiang Prefecture, and the Zongheng Sword Sect, one of the four lower-level sect-level forces, has settled here.
In addition to the Zongheng Sword Sect, there are many other unworthy forces entrenched everywhere.
The mountain road is rugged and winding, and a white jade arch stands on the ground, ten meters high, and majestic with an edge that points to the sky.
The four characters of Zongheng Jianzong are written in a letter with silver hooks and iron paintings, which is mysterious and flawless.
With Chen Zong's current swordsmanship attainments, he could vaguely feel the extraordinaryness of it, but he could not understand anything because the person who carved these four characters with his own hands had extremely high swordsmanship attainments.
This is the mountain gate of the Zongheng Sword Sect.
The mountain gate represents the facade of a force. If it is simple, it will damage the majesty of the sect. If it is too gorgeous, it will appear exaggerated. If it is done too well, it may arouse the hostility of other sects.
What grade goes with what level? This is the underlying truth, and no one will go beyond it.
The mountain gate made of white jade cannot be called gorgeous, but it is not simple either. It looks simple and elegant, and is shaped like a hollow giant sword. It is perfect for being the mountain gate of the Zongheng Sword Sect.
On the left and right sides of the mountain gate, there are two young men with upright figures standing. Their white sword robes make their figures even more upright. They are like unsheathed swords, releasing an invisible edge.
His sharp eyes passed through the air, scanning Chen Zong one after another, and then landed on Li Qingye's face.
"But Elder Li?" one of them asked.
"It's me." Li Qingye carried a long sword on his back, a smile on his simple face.
"I've met Elder Li." The two disciples guarding the mountain gate saluted quickly.
"No courtesy." Li Qingye said with a smile, and after saying that, he led Chen Zong across the mountain gate and walked up the mountain along the white jade steps.
The steps are winding, like a white python entangled. Looking up, you can vaguely see a wisp of white going up, as if there is no end.
"Senior, are those two just now at the True Martial Realm?" Chen Zong asked casually as he quickly climbed up the white jade steps with Li Qingye.
"Fourth level of the True Martial Realm." Li Qingye said: "They are all inner disciples of the Zongheng Sword Sect."
"They all look young." Chen Zong said with a smile.
"She should be around 27 or 28 years old." Li Qingye also smiled.
People in the Zhenwu realm who are twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old are not uncommon in the Longtu Dynasty. They can only be regarded as a group of people with good talents. However, among the three major dynasties, they can already be regarded as geniuses, but in the Eastern Continent, I am afraid that
He will be dubbed "Tianjiao".
For example, the Dominating Martial Talent broke through to the True Martial Realm in his twenties, but there was still a big gap between the first and fourth levels of the True Martial Realm.
But all in all, I am not too young now, and I am gradually approaching the age of twenty-four. Of course, because I am pursuing a more solid and perfect foundation, I have not yet reached the True Martial Realm. Otherwise, I would have already reached the True Martial Realm.
environment level.
Thinking about it, the combat power of the two inner disciples of the fourth level of the True Martial Realm guarding the mountain gate when they were practicing at the Jin Realm level was not that high. They were probably at the three-star or four-star level.
Before coming, Li Qingye had already given some general information about the Zongheng Sword Sect.
The composition of the entire Zongheng Sword Sect from top to bottom is the elders, sect leaders, inner sect elders, outer sect elders, deacons, core disciples, inner sect disciples and outer sect disciples.
Among them, the inner sect elders, sect masters and elders are all powerful in the extraordinary realm, while the outer sect elders are all pseudo-extraordinary. If they break through to the extraordinary realm, they can become the inner sect elders and enjoy higher status and rights as well as more
Good treatment.
As for the deacons, they are all in the True Martial Realm, usually in the middle or late stages of the True Martial Realm.
The core disciples are those who are within thirty years old and have reached the late stage of the True Martial Realm.
Inner disciples are those within thirty years of age who have reached the early to mid-term cultivation of Zhenwu Realm.
The outer disciples are practicing in the realm of strength.
Among them, the status of deacons is higher than that of inner disciples and outer disciples, and there is some gap between them and core disciples. The status of core disciples is quite high, even comparable to that of some outer disciples.
Zongmen Jianzi is a very special existence, which refers to a kind of honor and a kind of treatment that can be enjoyed.
The more it was settled, the deeper Chen Zong's expectations for the Zongheng Sword Sect became.
The white jade steps were winding and long, but Chen Zong and Li Qingye were not slow at all, leaping continuously. After a while, Chen Zong followed Li Qingye onto a white jade square.
The square is wide, covering tens of thousands of square meters. In the center of the square stands an eight-legged bronze cauldron, which is extremely thick and thick. There are sword patterns carved on it. If you look carefully, you can find countless sword patterns forming vertical and horizontal nourishment, running in all directions.
, in the center of the cauldron, there is an ancient bronze sword that is several meters long and about the size of two palms.
The sword is awe-inspiring!
"This is the ancient sword tripod." Li Qingye said, with a solemn expression, as if on a pilgrimage: "It was made by the founder of our Zongheng Sword Sect. It is one of the symbols of the Zongheng Sword Sect."
Looking at the ancient sword cauldron, Chen Zong didn't know why, but felt that his mood was affected and he became solemn.
"It is rumored that the founder of the sect left a middle-grade spiritual weapon in this ancient sword cauldron, but no one has understood it yet." Li Qingye said.
"Lingwu?" Chen Zong was puzzled.
"Lingwu is a martial art practiced by strong people in the extraordinary realm." Li Qingye explained, without saying much, but changed the subject: "Come with me, I will take you to see the sect leader."
Recommending a sect sword is a big deal, and meeting the sect leader is a must.
Walking forward, passing through numerous palace doors, we stopped in front of a magnificent hall.
It is not difficult for Li Qingye to meet the sect leader as an elder of the outer sect.
This hall, called the Zongheng Sword Hall, is the main hall of the Zongheng Sword Sect. It is also the place where the sect leader usually meets with elders and disciples and receives important foreign guests.
The Zongheng Sword Hall is a hundred meters high, with large pillars supporting the sky. Each pillar is engraved with the shadow of a sword, criss-crossing it, and has an extraordinary aura. Behind the sect leader's seat, countless sword blades are gathered together to form a thick sword wall, which seems to be indestructible.
What shocked Chen Zong was that the leader of the Zongheng Sword Sect was a tall man with a beard, a broad face and a square mouth, which was different from what he imagined.
Well, people should not be judged by their appearance.
In addition to the sect leader, there were four inner sect elders gathered in the Zongheng Sword Hall, each sitting on their seats. After passing Li Qingye, their eyes fell on Chen Zong, and they were immediately slightly surprised.
Chen Zong cultivates a leak-free Hunyuan body, which can suppress the fluctuations of his aura, making it difficult for people to detect. Even a strong person in the extraordinary realm cannot easily detect it.
Under the gaze, Chen Zong felt the pressure from the gazes of the five people. It was the pressure of a strong person in the extraordinary realm. It was not intentional, it was just caused by the gaze.
Chen Zong's expression remained unchanged and calm, which made people secretly amazed.
It is indeed very rare for a person who is in the strength training realm to be able to maintain his expression unchanged and his body shape without shaking under the gaze of five powerful men in the extraordinary realm.
"Elder Qingye, are you sure you want to use your only one recommendation qualification on this child?" The great elder spoke, as if with an accent, lingering in the hall, echoing in the ears of the two people.
"Reporting to the Great Elder, yes." Li Qingye responded respectfully.
There are four elders in the inner sect in total. In order, they are the Great Elder, the Second Elder, the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder. Among them, the Great Elder has the highest cultivation level and is the strongest.
"This boy looks good. He is indeed qualified to compete for the sect's sword master. But do you know his origin?" The second elder also spoke, his voice slightly sharp.
The swordsman of the sect will be favored by the sect's resources and get the best training. This is a major matter and must be treated with caution. If the person trained is a secret son of other forces, it will not only bring losses to the sect, but also cause dignity.
Lost everything.
And if the people you cultivate have bad character or are ungrateful, etc., it will ultimately be a loss for the sect.
"Reporting to the Second Elder, this son's name is Chen Zong, and he comes from the Yunlong Dynasty of the three dynasties on the other side of the Shen Yu River." Li Qingye replied immediately.
"Oh, from the other side of the Shen Yu River." Several elders nodded and immediately looked at the sect leader, waiting for the sect leader's final decision.
"The sword of the sect is related to the rise and fall of the sect's honor. It is a major matter and cannot be lost." The Qiu-bearded sect leader spoke with a voice as loud as a bell. His eyes passed over Chen Zong and then landed on Li Qingye's face: "Let Chen Zong stay here first.
, is temporarily listed as an outer disciple. After our sect confirms that there is no problem with Chen Zong’s origin, we will arrange the sect’s sword test. Chen Zong, what do you think?”
Chen Zong was a little surprised that a powerful man in the extraordinary realm and the leader of a sect asked him for his opinion like this.
"But it depends on the arrangement of the sect leader." Chen Zongdao.
As for the other party saying that he wanted to investigate his origins, Chen Zong was not dissatisfied at all. He felt that if he were the leader of a sect, he would not be able to cultivate talents for the enemy. It was very necessary to investigate his origins.
Of course, this is because Chen Zong has never deceived Li Qingye, otherwise someone with evil intentions would be extremely anxious.
"In that case, Elder Qingye, take Chen Zong to the outer disciple area and stay temporarily." Lin Zhonghan, the sect leader, said.
"Yes, Sect Master." Li Qingye led Chen Zong out of the Zongheng Sword Hall.
As soon as he walked out of the sword palace, the oppressive atmosphere disappeared immediately. Chen Zong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, being stared at by five powerful men in the extraordinary realm, it was impossible not to be stressed.
"The sword of the sect is of great importance, and it is necessary to investigate the origin. I hope you don't have any grudges." Li Qingye said to Chen Zong.
"Senior, don't worry, I understand." Chen Zongdao.
"It couldn't be better." Li Qingye smiled, becoming more and more satisfied with Chen Zong.
Speaking of which, I originally thought that my disciple was very good, but compared with Chen Zongyi, he pales in comparison.
Whether it's talent, combat prowess or character, there is an obvious gap.
Thinking of his disciple Yang Xuanying, Li Qingye frowned again. After losing the duel with Chen Zong that day, he left the sword hall and disappeared. He originally planned to bring him to the Sword Sect, even if he could not become a sect sword.
Although he is a disciple, with his talent, he can also be at the forefront among the outer disciples and obtain better resources.
Unfortunately, Yang Xuanying returned to the Yang family after leaving the sword hall that day, and then left again without knowing his whereabouts.
"Third Elder, you are the fastest, so you take the black wooden boat across the river and go to the Yunlong Dynasty to investigate the identity of Chen Zong." Sect leader Luo Zhonghan said.
"Yes." The thin third elder stood up and left quickly.
