I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Chu Tian was about the same age as Shen Ming, dressed in a black robe, with a tall and upright posture and handsome appearance.

Standing there, one can clearly feel the changes in the Sword Pool, like waves rising on the surface of a lake.

Chu Tian placed his hand on the black sword, and instantly, melodious sword sounds came from different directions.

Some of the swords began to shake violently, as if they were impatient.

A dazzling white light emanated from the tip of the black sword.

It's like a layer of black paint peeling off the surface.

However, the sword light only stopped halfway up and did not continue upwards.

"This position already puts him in the top ten of Wan Jianfeng's disciples."

As Xie Tianjian spoke, he put two fingers together and carved a mark on the black sword, writing the name 'Chu Tian'.

Chu Tian then noticed that the black sword had engravings of varying heights.

There are indeed no more than ten people above him.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Tianjian waved his sleeve, and a sword transformed into a rainbow, flying up in a beautiful arc before landing at Chu Tian's feet.

"This is the Rainbow Sword, a level-elemental spiritual weapon," Xie Tianjian said.

A level-eight spiritual weapon, even if left out in the open, would be enough to cause a bloodbath.

In the Xuantian Sect, it was directly used as the sword of the inner disciples.

Of course, judging from the envious reactions of Wan Jianfeng's disciples, not everyone can obtain a level-elemental spiritual weapon.

Chu Tian possessed an innate sword-like spirit, making him extraordinary.

After the sword selection was over, Xie Tianjian was about to leave with Chu Tian.

As a result, they both stopped in their tracks, their faces showing surprise.

Shen Ming approached the black sword.

The black sword returned to its original state, and the name on it had been removed.

"It seems your swordsmanship talent exceeds the limits of my Ten Thousand Swords Peak," Xie Tianjian said coldly.

These words were a sarcastic jab at Shen Ming for overestimating his own abilities.

If Shen Ming possessed the talent of a sword cultivator, he would definitely become a disciple of Ten Thousand Swords Peak.

Among the nine meridians of Xuan Tian, ​​sword cultivators only have this one choice.

Shen Ming is now acting all serious, which is really laughable.

A slight smile appeared on Chu Tian's lips. He was feeling a little smug because of his outstanding performance just now, and he was eager to see what Shen Ming could do.

"My talent surpasses the limit of Wan Jianfeng's disciples!"

Shen Ming's eyes lit up. He grasped the key point of the sentence and suddenly understood many things.

The Wuji Divine Skill is accompanied by the Wuji Sword Technique. Since this level of skill uses a sword, it must involve the Dao of Swords.

Kendo differs from other martial arts in that it demands exceptional talent.

When Shen Ming came to Wanjian Peak, he wondered why he wasn't a disciple of Wanjian Peak since he could practice swordsmanship.

It turns out that his kendo talent was far superior!

Ok?

At that very moment, Xie Tianjian keenly sensed a transformation in Shen Ming's temperament, like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath.

Just as he was wondering, Shen Ming had already placed his hand on the black sword.

Boom!

The sword pool trembled, the sword intent surged, and every sword shook violently.

The dazzling sword light intertwined in the sky, creating a magnificent spectacle that could be clearly seen from all nine peaks of Xuantian.

"A strange phenomenon in swordsmanship?! It seems that Ten Thousand Swords Peak has a monstrous genius in swordsmanship!" an elder exclaimed excitedly.

The sword light surging from the black sword immediately surpassed Chu Tian's height and showed no signs of stopping, directly engulfing the entire sword body.

A black sword, no, at this point it should be called a lightsaber!

"..."

Xie Tianjian, as the peak master, could not understand what was happening before his eyes.

Until one after another, earth-grade spirit swords flew down around Shen Ming, forming an arc.

"A Hundred Swords Pay Homage!"

Chu Tian was dumbfounded; this was a scene that only existed in legends.

At this moment, the giant lightsaber began to shrink!

"The Xuan Tian Sword will also be used by him?!"

Xie Tianjian was shocked. The Xuan Tian Sword was the soul of the Sword Pool!

However, once it shrinks to a certain size, the chains on the hilt immediately tighten.

"Everyone stand back!"

Xie Tianjian shouted.

Two extremely powerful forces are vying for dominance.

If the Xuan Tian Lock breaks, the resulting fragments will flatten this mountain.

If the Xuan Tian Sword were to break, that would be even more terrifying.

Shen Ming sensed the Xuan Tian Sword struggling recklessly, and fine lines even appeared on its surface.

"It's alright." Shen Ming didn't want to see that scene.

He placed his hand back on it, signaling the Xuan Tian Sword to calm down.

Under the tense gaze of Xie Tianjian and the others, the Xuan Tian Sword slowly returned to its original size, and the taut chains loosened.

As the sword light faded, it seemed as if everyone could hear a sigh.

Finally, Shen Ming chose a low-grade spiritual sword and named it the Mingxin Sword.

"Which peak are you a disciple from? What's your name?"

Xie Tianjian called out to Shen Ming, who was about to leave, completely lacking his usual composure.

"Peak Master, his name is Shen Ming, a disciple of Tongtian Peak, born with a spiritual body, a Supreme Dao Embryo, and cultivates the Wuji Divine Art."

Chu Tian answered first, his earlier arrogance completely gone.

"What the hell?!"

Xie Tianjian almost strained his back.

Even the Supreme Elders and the Nine Peak Masters of the Xuantian Sect know that the "Limitless Divine Skill" is a charlatan.

Xie Tianjian certainly knew, but Shen Ming's behavior in the sword pool just now was completely different.

How could such a sword genius arrange things this way? Could it be that Elder Xu orchestrated this? Is he trying to steal my position as peak master?

Elder Xu is the Elder who transmits skills.

The Transmission Elder holds a high position and wields great power in the Xuantian Sect, standing on equal footing with the nine peak masters.

However, he is not the peak master after all, and does not have his own peak.

Xie Tianjian thought about many things for a moment.

"Would you be willing to join my Ten Thousand Swords Peak?" he asked directly.

Shen Ming thought for a moment and said seriously, "Peak Master, I am different from you."

Chu Tian gasped upon hearing this.

Arrogant! Absolutely outrageous! But considering Xuan Tianjian's performance just now, he had to admit defeat.

Shen Ming was saying that his swordsmanship talent was indeed extraordinary, but his greatest talent was still his innate sacred body, which was different from that of a true swordsman.

If I joined Wanjian Peak and focused on practicing the "Invincible Divine Skill" every day, I would feel out of place with everyone else.

That's why he said he was different, but to others, it was interpreted as a provocation.

"Good good!"

Xie Tianjian was now certain that this was definitely Old Man Xu's arrangement, intended to shake his position as peak master!

He wouldn't stoop to the level of a junior, and gestured for Shen Ming to go.

After Shen Ming left, Xie Tianjian said, "Chu Tian, ​​you must practice your sword diligently and not let the outer peak disciples steal the limelight in swordsmanship."

"Ah I?"

Chu Tian paused for a moment, then pointed to himself, looking somewhat uncertain.

Chapter Four:

At Daqiong Peak, Elder Chuan Gong sneezed.

"Who's been badmouthing me behind my back?!"

Given the cultivation level of the Transmission Elder, this is the only possibility.

Just then, her daughter, Xu Lingyue, rushed in.

"Father! Is Shen Ming's talent really that mediocre?" Xu Lingyue asked.

"Didn't we just say that yesterday?" Elder Chuan Gong asked, puzzled.

"Just now at Ten Thousand Swords Peak..."

Xu Lingyue recounted what had happened at Wanjian Peak.

When she first heard it, she couldn't believe it either; how could a strange phenomenon in swordsmanship be related to Shen Ming?

After listening to what his daughter said, Elder Chuan Gong paused for a moment, then laughed heartily.

"I never expected someone like Xie Tianjian to cooperate with others. The Jiang family is quite capable," said the Transmission Elder.

"Father, do you mean that the Master of Ten Thousand Swords Peak is also a liar like you?" Xu Lingyue said.

The Master of Ten Thousand Swords Peak can be described as having an eccentric personality, not even giving face to the sect leader, so how could he possibly do such a thing?

“What is lying? This is a white lie.”

The Transmission Elder said, "Shen Ming only received the Wuji Sword Technique from me this morning and made it clear that he wanted to use a sword. It was less than half a day. If he had such sword talent, it would have been exposed long ago."

Xu Lingyue was skeptical, even suspecting that this was just an excuse for her father not to teach her the "Limitless Divine Skill".

However, after some rational consideration, Xu Lingyue still chose to believe her father.

A congenital sacred body, a supreme Dao embryo, plus a sword Dao phenomenon—how could one person possess so many talents at the same time?

Xu Lingyue couldn't help but wonder what Shen Ming was trying to do by making such a big commotion.

Could it be that he just wants to indulge in the fantasy of being a genius?!

Xu Lingyue decided to find out the truth.
