The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Chu Xiu was looking at Yan Bingyun and the others, and they were also looking at Chu Xiu.

only.

Even the monk Jingxin, a true disciple of Wanfo Temple who harbored hatred towards Chu Xiu, and the disciple Jiumokong, a true disciple of Wushang Micheng Temple, remained calm and showed no intention of making a move.

of course.

They didn't dare to act openly or fairly.

If they dare to openly attack Chu Xiu, they will be provoking the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Don't say that Wanfo Temple and Wushang Micheng Temple couldn't protect them.

Even Wanfo Temple and Wushangmicheng Temple will be implicated.

"Yan Bingyun of the Pudu Sword Sect greets Your Excellency."

Yan Bingyun bowed gracefully to Chu Xiu and spoke with a cool expression.

Chu Xiu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Myriad Swords Pavilion, which resembled a mirage.

He seemed not to have heard anything and completely ignored Yan Bingyun.

Yan Bingyun gave Chu Xiu a deep look, then remained silent.

Seeing Chu Xiu's attitude, Jiang Fengyun frowned, showing a slight dissatisfaction.

He seemed to be filled with anger that his favorite goddess was ignored by Chu Xiu.

If Chu Xiu weren't the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, or even the Marquis of Champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he probably would have already spoken out in anger.

Suddenly!

hum!

A buzzing sound came from the Myriad Swords Pavilion secret realm.

A golden portal appeared.

"The Myriad Swords Pavilion Secret Realm has opened!"

"Quickly, let's get into the Myriad Swords Pavilion Secret Realm as soon as possible, lest we miss it!"

"With my talent in swordsmanship, I am certain that I can obtain the true inheritance from the Myriad Swords Pavilion's secret realm!"

"..."

Upon seeing the golden gate appear, the group of geniuses and prodigies showed excitement on their faces. In a flash, they all rushed towards the golden gate and disappeared into it.

Chu Xiu took a step and entered the Myriad Swords Pavilion secret realm.

Yan Bingyun and the others also slipped inside.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

In a blink of an eye.

Chu Xiu and the others then appeared in a grand hall.

The entire hall was empty; there was nothing there.

"Congratulations on entering the secret realm of my Myriad Swords Pavilion!"

"Entering our Myriad Swords Pavilion Secret Realm means you have a connection with it."

"You may call me Old Sword Master."

An old man in white appeared out of thin air in front of Chu Xiu and the others, and said with a smile.

"Greetings, Elder Sword."

Chu Xiu and the others clasped their hands in a fist salute to Sword Elder and said.

Chu Xiu felt a chill run down his spine. He realized that he had no way of discerning Sword Elder's cultivation level.

It was as if Elder Jian was connected to the entire Myriad Swords Pavilion secret realm.

This was the second time he had been unable to discern someone else's cultivation level.

The first time was with Empress Murong Si.

The second one is Sword Elder.

Murong Si's cultivation level could not be seen because she possessed the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty's fortune.

So what about this Sword Elder?

Could this old swordsman be the legendary weapon spirit?

It's unclear whether he is the spirit of the entire Myriad Swords Pavilion Secret Realm, or the spirit of a particular immortal artifact within it.

It is said that above divine weapons, there are also legendary celestial artifacts!

This is what he saw in the files of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, immortal artifacts are extremely rare, even within the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

The number of forces possessing celestial artifacts is extremely small.

There must be celestial artifacts within the imperial treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty to suppress its fortune.

Even ordinary holy land-level forces do not possess immortal artifacts.

Only the most prestigious holy sites might possess celestial artifacts.

Take, for example, Wanfo Temple and Wushangmicheng Temple, two sacred Buddhist sites.

Chu Xiu didn't know whether the Pudu Sword Sect possessed any immortal artifacts.

"Now, I will tell you about the rules of our Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion."

"As long as you can pass the third test, you can become an outer disciple of our Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and inherit the Azure Cloud Sword Technique."

"By passing the fifth test, you can become an inner disciple of our Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and receive the inheritance of the Azure Sky Sword Manual."

"If you can pass the seventh test, you can become a true disciple of our Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion and inherit the Ten Thousand Swords Technique."

"You need to remember one thing: if you want to become a disciple of our Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, you must use swordsmanship when you pass the trials. Anyone who doesn't know swordsmanship can speak up now."

Sword Elder looked at Chu Xiu and the others with a kind expression and said.

"Senior, I don't know swordsmanship!"

"Senior, I don't know swordsmanship either..."

“Senior, although I do not know swordsmanship, I have exceptional comprehension and I can learn it.”

"..."

One by one, the geniuses hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Sword Elder.

Of the hundreds of geniuses, nearly a third of them do not know swordsmanship.

After all, not everyone knows swordsmanship; they may practice knife techniques, palm techniques, fist techniques, and so on.

Although they knew that the Wanjian Pavilion ruins were a sacred place for swordsmanship, they believed that they were exceptionally talented and insightful, and that even without swordsmanship skills, they could still inherit the legacy of the Wanjian Pavilion.

"Is there anyone who doesn't know swordsmanship?"

"Don't even think about hiding anything from me."

"If this problem is exposed during the challenge, the person will be executed immediately."

Sword Elder said with a kind smile.

"Senior, I don't know swordsmanship either, but I can learn it."

"Yes, senior, me too!"

"Yes, senior, could you make an exception?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of geniuses and prodigies changed drastically, and they all spoke up.

Nearly half of the geniuses and prodigies do not know swordsmanship.

Or perhaps they never practiced swordsmanship.

"Since none of you know swordsmanship, then I have no choice but to send you away."

Sword Elder sighed and waved his sleeve.

In an instant!

One by one, the figures disappeared into the main hall, leaving less than two hundred people.

"Aside from the requirement to use swordsmanship during the challenge, our Myriad Swords Pavilion Secret Realm has no other requirements."

"Whether you practice external martial arts or internal martial arts, it's the same."

"The only requirement is that you must use swordsmanship during the challenge to pass the level."

"You can't clear the level without using swordsmanship."

"I hope you all understand this."

After sending away all those who didn't know swordsmanship, Sword Elder looked at Chu Xiu and the others and said...

"Yes."

Chu Xiu and the others spoke with serious expressions.

"Then, I will now escort you into the Sword Inquiry Tower."

"The Sword Inquiry Tower is a training ground for the disciples of the Myriad Swords Pavilion, and also a place for them to improve their status."

Sword Elder nodded slightly and addressed Chu Xiu and the others.

The words just fell!

Chu Xiu and the others felt as if the world had turned upside down, and they found themselves in a void.

only.

In every void, there is only one person.

"Void?"

"Is this the Tower of Sword Inquiry?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow, showing great interest in the Sword Inquiry Tower of the Myriad Swords Pavilion.

Swish!

A man in black appeared in front of Chu Xiu.

only!

As soon as the man in black appeared, he drew his sword and attacked Chu Xiu with a single strike!

"You've reached the fourth level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, your cultivation level is the same as mine."

"But its strength is too weak."

"It seems that the assessment in the Sword Inquiry Tower is actually based on one's own cultivation level."

"Your cultivation level determines the cultivation level of your opponents."

Seeing the man in black make his move, Chu Xiu said with a look of sudden realization.

Chu Xiu clenched his left hand, and a long sword appeared in his palm. He then gripped the hilt with his right hand.

Having access to the system's storage space, he naturally couldn't be without weapons.

He placed five swords in the system's storage space, although these swords were not of very high grade.

In a moment.

The long sword in the black-clad man's hand had already reached Chu Xiu, moving with lightning speed!
