Filial piety: the supreme emperor

The next day, at the Qiankun Sect’s martial arts training ground.

The disciples from the six sects sat cross-legged on cushions, discussing their respective ways of cultivation, including skills, magical powers, and techniques for refining elixirs and weapons.

There were several viewing platforms on the martial arts training ground, and the elders from the six sects were watching the scene below with great interest.

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "I am a sword practitioner, what is the ultimate realm of sword?"

"With one swing of the sword, I can move mountains and fill the sea, and pick the stars and the moon!

Use grass as a sword to cut down the sun, moon and stars..."

Disciples from various sects spoke freely.

Suddenly, a weak voice came from Zixia Sect: "Senior Brother said that there are two ultimate realms of sword."

"One is internal, the other is external, and the two complement each other!"

The one who spoke was a shy and well-behaved junior sister named Su Rou. Lu Ran had some impression of her. She was also a sword practitioner. When he was preaching for the sect, he had personally guided her.

A disciple of Qianye Sect was a little confused: "What is inner and what is outer?"

Su Rou glanced at Lu Ran next to her, and mustered up her courage to say, "Inner, use your heart as a sword, and one sword can break all laws."

"Externally, the aura is the sword. Wherever the sword points, no one can defeat it!"

After these words were spoken, many sword practitioners fell into deep thought and seemed to have gained some understanding.

"Heart" refers to the heart of the sword. As long as the heart of the sword is thorough, one can find the flaws in all things and break them with one sword.

"Momentum" refers to the power of the sword. As long as you can gather an unstoppable momentum, you will have the courage to swing the sword at anyone.

“I have a different view.”

Just when everyone was lost in thought, a man in white with a fierce aura spoke from the Xueyi Sect.

"The ultimate realm of sword should be - the sword is me, I am the sword!"

"You said that no one can stop the sword."

"Then do you dare to take this sword?"

As he spoke, the sword flashed, and an extremely sharp sword intent gushed out, slashing straight towards Su Rou's right hand.

Wherever the sword passed, strong winds blew and everyone felt a stinging pain on their skin, and they all circulated their true energy to resist.

Facing this sword, Su Rou felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, and her little face turned pale with fear.

She has only been in the industry for a little over a year, and although she has good talent, she has little practical experience.

Thinking of what her senior brother had said, Su Rou gritted her teeth and, regardless of everything, drew her sword to face the fierce sword intent.

However, no matter how she mobilized her true energy, she could not cut it down.

In response, the man in white had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "You haven't even comprehended the sword's meaning, and you are qualified to talk about the ultimate realm of sword?"

As soon as the words fell, Su Rou's eyes suddenly widened, and the sword actually moved.

"whisper!"

The sword in her hand made a sharp sound, and an even more powerful and sharp sword intent burst out, instantly annihilating all the attacking sword intent and slashing towards the man in white.

"Pfft!"

The next moment, an arm was cut off by the sword, and blood splattered.

The man in white had an extremely hideous expression on his face. He fell to the ground in pain, twitching continuously!

"Senior Brother Lu?"

At this moment, Su Rou finally reacted and looked at the person next to her with surprise.

Lu Ran smiled at her, then looked at the man in white on the ground and said coldly, "You have only grasped a little bit of the sword's meaning, and you are qualified to talk about the ultimate realm of sword?"

He had never had a good impression of the Xueyi Sect in the first place, and now they were acting arrogantly in front of him and attacking the disciples of the Zixia Sect. Did they really think he had no temper?

"Brother, isn't this a bit too cruel?"

"It's just a discussion, why do you have to cut off Junior Brother Lin's arm?"

Another man in green from the Xueyi Sect stepped forward, first feeding his junior brother a pill to relieve his injuries, then stared at Lu Ran coldly.

Lu Ran asked back, "It's just a discussion, so why did he attack Junior Sister Su?"

It was obvious that the other party wanted to break Su Rou's arm just now, and he was just using his own method to retaliate!

The man in green confronted Lu Ran: "Junior Brother Lin will know his limits. That trace of sword intent will not hurt her."

"Even if Junior Brother Lin is too late, I will erase this trace of sword intent."

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold: "So you mean, I shouldn't help?"

The man in blue nodded and said as a matter of course: "That's right!"

"Of course, now that Junior Brother Lin's arm is broken, you need to keep one arm as well."

Lu Ran didn't say anything, but raised his hand and another sword intent shot out.

"You are courting death!"

The green-clothed man's face turned ugly in an instant, and he also burst out with an unparalleled sword intent and rushed forward.

Unfortunately, Lu Ran's sword intent disappeared mysteriously.

"what……"

Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard, and the man in white on the ground had his only remaining left hand cut off, and he fainted on the spot.

"Now that I have broken both of his arms, are you going to break both of mine too?"

Lu Ran did not answer, but asked a question in return.

He is a very reasonable person, provided that the other party is also reasonable.

It was obvious that the man in blue in front of him was deliberately looking for trouble, so he would make things bigger.

"you……"

Hearing this, the man in green became furious, and his murderous intent solidified into reality.

"stop!"

At this time, a voice sounded, and the law enforcement elder of Qiankun Sect appeared.

He looked at Lu Ran and the man in blue and asked coldly, "What happened?"

Lu Ran replied softly: "He wanted to cut off one of my junior sister's arms, so I cut off both of his arms."

The man in green looked at his unconscious junior brother on the ground, his face full of anger: "That's nonsense, Junior Brother Lin's sword can't hurt your junior sister at all."

"I don't care what grudges you have. If something like this happens again during the discussion, it will be handled according to the rules of the Qiankun Sect."

The law enforcement elder of the Qiankun Sect didn't say much. He retracted his gaze, gave a warning, and left the training ground.

The grudge between Zixia Sect and Xueyi Sect is known to all disciples of the other four sects.

The elders from both sides were on the viewing platform but did not show up, so why should he intervene?

After the law enforcement elder left, the anger on the green-clothed man's face faded, and he became calm: "In the official duel, I will take your life."

"Remember my name, Tang Feng!"

Lu Ran smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to come and get it!"

He had heard it before.

After the death of its leader, the Xueyi Sect became a subsidiary sect of the second-rate Haoyue Sword Sect.

The Haoyue Sword Sect has always been eyeing the Yinwu River spiritual vein, but has lacked the opportunity.

Now that the Xueyi Sect has become their affiliated sect, they naturally have to get involved.

This martial arts competition among the six sects is a good opportunity.

As long as you can get first place in this martial arts competition, you can occupy the upper reaches of the Hidden Mist River and obtain more abundant spiritual resources.

After that, the other five sects will be annexed one by one, and the entire Yinwu River will be equivalent to that of the Haoyue Sword Sect.

There is no doubt that Tang Feng and Junior Brother Lin are both disciples of the Haoyue Sword Sect.

Tang Feng's behavior just now was deliberately testing his strength.

Just with this one try, Junior Brother Lin lost both his arms...

An elder of the Chiba Sect in the stands said with emotion: "This Six Sects Martial Arts Competition looks like it will be a fierce competition!"

The elder of the Snow Wind Sect angrily cursed: "The Bright Moon Sword Sect is really shameless. They actually interfered in the six sects' martial arts competition."

A beautiful woman from the Huakai Sect looked at Xu Qing and jokingly asked, "Is this why the Zixia Sect made an exception and accepted male disciples?"

"Master Ning has hidden this disciple for so many years. He really put a lot of thought into it."

"Maybe." Xu Qing smiled slightly without explaining.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that the strength of this nephew was far more than what appeared on the surface.

What they saw was just the tip of the iceberg!

In the stands, only the elder of the Snow Robe Sect had a gloomy look on his face and said nothing.

They didn't expect that although Lin Heng had already comprehended half of the sword intent, he was still no match for the man from Zixia Sect.

But it doesn’t matter. Compared to Lin Heng, Tang Feng’s strength is truly terrifying.

In the martial arts arena, after the commotion just now, the disciples from other sects looked at the young man from Zixia Sect with a hint of fear.

Compared to the half-baked sword intent displayed by Junior Brother Lin just now, what the other party showed was the true and complete sword intent.

Before, they only heard that the overall strength of Zixia Sect increased rapidly after the cooperation with Lingbao Pavilion.

Unexpectedly, in addition to this, the other party also has such a talented disciple who has cultivated the sword intent.

Of course, in addition to the Zixia Sect, Tang Feng of the Xueyi Sect is also a strong enemy.

Because Tang Feng himself is a true disciple of the Haoyue Sword Sect, and he has also cultivated the sword intent in the way of swordsmanship.

The discussion continued, and a disciple asked, "How do you think we can improve the success rate of making pills?"

"It depends on the personality of the alchemist and his level of attainment in the way of plants and trees."

"As we all know, if we regard all things as plants, the changes of plants are the key to the success rate of the elixir..."

During the discussion, many disciples showed expressions of sudden enlightenment and kept in mind the key points of alchemy that they had learned.

You should know that no matter which one you practice, whether it is the way of alchemy, the way of swordsmanship, or the way of martial arts, it is taboo to work in isolation.

The discussions in the four days before the Six Sects Martial Arts Competition were for this purpose.

You can bring up anything you want to discuss.

You can question and verify what you have learned.

"Speaking of attainments in plants and trees, the Zixia Sect in the Hundred Flowers Valley should be more proficient, right?"

"How about we have a discussion about our knowledge of plants and trees?"

At this moment, a true disciple of the Xueyi Sect stood up and looked in the direction of the Zixia Sect.

Lu Ran had some impression of this true disciple of the Xueyi Sect who took the initiative to cause trouble.

Her name is Murong Yan, and she is the number one alchemy genius in the Xueyi Sect.

But in the field of alchemy, she is not good at it and can only watch the performance of many junior sisters.

Suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded, and Li Shishi, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, stood up and said coldly: "How do you want to discuss it?"

Compared to usual, she looked unusually cool and elegant at this moment.

Hearing this, Lu Ran looked strange.

What surprised him was not that Li Shishi played the role of a cold fairy, but that she stood up.

There are many disciples in Zixia Sect who can make pills, and there are also many junior sisters with great talents.

But Li Shishi is not among these junior sisters.

You know, Li Shishi has already half given up on the path of cultivation.

If he and the master hadn't played the good cop and the bad cop from time to time, how could she have reached the realm of supernatural powers so quickly?

In this case, why would Li Shishi spend time practicing alchemy?

Although he thought so, Lu Ran knew that if Li Shishi was not sure, she would never stand up.

As for where her confidence comes from, you have to ask her herself!

Murong Yan was a little surprised to see someone stand up.

What was surprising was that the cold and beautiful woman in front of him did not seem to be one of the disciples of Zixia Sect who were accomplished in alchemy.

Although a little surprised, Murong Yan still said: "It's very simple. We each hold two snow spirit flower seeds and use our plant attainments to catalyze them."

"Whoever produces the most spiritual flowers within the time of an incense stick will win. What do you think?"

Li Shishi perfectly interpreted what a cool fairy is, and said calmly: "Okay!"

For her, there is nothing she doesn't know about all kinds of spiritual flowers and herbs.

Of course, that was because Mu Wanzhi recovered her memory.

In Li Shishi's opinion, she needs to let her senior see more of her strengths, which will be beneficial for the next strategy.

"Let's get started!" Murong Yan said nothing more and handed her a snow spirit flower seed.

Then, the disciples from the two sects brought incense burners and each lit a stick of incense.

The next moment, Murong Yan and Li Shishi each circulated their true energy and used their knowledge of plants to begin catalysis.

Murong Yan closed her eyes, and a green light radiated from her body. She was full of vitality and continuously injected with spirit flower seeds.

In contrast, Li Shishi's whole body was filled with the color of red lotus, and an extremely unique fragrance filled the air.

Soon, there was movement from Murong Yan's side.

I saw the flower seeds growing rapidly under the green light. Soon they were more than a foot tall, and then a snow-white spiritual flower began to grow.

One!

Two!

Three...

In less than half a breath, there were already seven flowers, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Oh my god! Has Senior Sister Murong's attainment in plants and trees improved again?"

"Are you blind? Isn't this obvious?"

"Before, there were about six flowers, but now there are seven."

"With Senior Sister Murong's current attainments, no elder in the sect can compare to her!"

Looking at the scene before them, the faces of the disciples of the Snow Robe Sect were filled with joy, and even a little pride.

In the discussion about swordsmanship between the two sects just now, they indeed lost miserably.

But now, in terms of attainments in plants and trees, it is almost certain that the outcome will be no suspense!

If they win this discussion about plant attainments, they can turn the tables for the Xueyi Sect.

Seeing this scene, Murong Yan, whose face was somewhat pale, smiled.

Normally, six flowers was her limit, but she didn't expect to perform exceptionally well this time and produce one more.

Thinking of this, Murong Yan looked across with full confidence.

This sight immediately froze her smile.

On Li Shishi's side, the flower seed also began to grow rapidly. It was already more than two feet tall, and then spiritual flowers began to grow.

Two!

Four!

Eight...

In less than half a breath of time, twelve spiritual flowers grew.

The most important thing is that the snow spirit flower, which was supposed to be snow-white, turned into light blue.

The medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy it exudes are even stronger.

At this moment, all the people in the field who had knowledge of plants and trees widened their eyes, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

A cultivator from Huakai Sect asked in confusion, "Sister, why did her Snow Spirit Flower turn red?"

The latter took a deep breath, suppressed his inner shock, and slowly explained: "She not only pushed the Snow Spirit Flower Seed to its extreme, but also caused it to undergo a transformation..."
