Talisman Emperor
Chapter 167 – Reply Respect
The Wandering Sword Sect opening the door to recruit disciples was an unprecedented major event. As Sect Master, Ling Kongzi had revealed an extremely great resolution by opening the door to the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect before the sect entrance test began. In addition to the main peak, Skypillar Peak, and the limited area in the back mountains, the entire Wanderingcloud Sword Sect had been opened to the public. Everyone who wanted to enroll to join the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect and become a disciple would enter the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect first to look at it respectfully and look around happily.
The flow of those people was like weaving silk, rubbing shoulders and bumping into each other.
At this time in the Wanderingcloud mountains, the young men and young women from various cities in the southern region had arrived at the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect long ago under the assistance of guards and their family members. Not just for the sake of witnessing the strength, resources, and reserves of the Wandering Sword Sect with their own two eyes; most importantly, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to engage with the elders and disciples of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect and become familiar with them. If they were able to suck up these people and obtain a friendly relationship, then wouldn't their sons and daughters be able to obtain extra care when going through the sect entrance test?
As family members or seniors, they all wished their son could become a dragon, their daughter a phoenix, they said, and who would not expect their children to join the number one sect in the southern region and appear in the world?
Of course, very few of the ordinary and poor people living at the bottom of the society in the southern region could arrive here.
Because along the way, they had to pass through innumerable mountain ranges, wilds, and deserts, and it was extremely dangerous. Not only were there bandits and thieves along the way, there were also ferocious beasts and demons. Without the formidable guards protecting them and without the excellent flying magic treasure for them to ascend, it was highly likely that they would lose their lives due to the various dangers on the way.
For example, if not for obtaining Chen Xi's help before they entered Dragon Lake City, Mu Yao and Mu Wenfei would probably have been killed by the three Starnet Palace disciples long ago.
"Look, this is the True Heart Peak, where the famous unrivalled genius Chen Xi in the entire southern region lived. Little boy, if you can achieve such a feat that Chen Xi has, then that elder who would dare to disagree to Father handed over the entire Clan to you? "
"Xuaner, did you see it? The person that Mother told you, Chen Xi, who exterminated the six Golden Hall Realm and one Golden Core Realm Su Clan cultivators, obtained first place in the Hidden Dragon Rank, and conquered the Immortal Artifacts, the, Buddha Pagoda, stay on top of this . After you enter the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect in the future, you should make it your target and cultivate it properly. The status of our mother and son in the Clan is entirely up to you. ”
“My son, you have always been arrogant and arrogant and treated others with disdain. Grandfather brought you here today to make you see that no matter how strong you are, there is always someone stronger. That Chen Xi was only a few years older than you, yet he was the sword brother of the Supreme Elder of the Wandering Sword Sect. What about you? All you know is running amok in a city the size of our palms. What makes you arrogant and content? "
Among the 100 plus peaks in the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect, True Heart Peak was undoubtedly the peak with the flow of the most people. Several young men and young women came to True Heart Peak under the mentoring of their seniors and guards to take a look. While the owner of this peak, Chen Xi, had instead become a model used by many family elders to teach their children a lesson or encourage them, and seemed to be very crowded with noise and excitement.
"Shut up! This is the True Heart Peak, a place developed by my Supreme Ancestor. If all of you still dare to make a sound, then we will definitely cancel your qualifications to participate in the sect entrance test! "Dong Fang scolded in a loud voice. He brought 35 male District Court disciples to stand guard outside the large hall on True Heart Peak, where he was, and they were all wearing dark blue clothes with the command token of their High Court disciples hung on their waists, causing them to look amazing.
These young men and young women as well as their family members and guards who had come to True Heart Peak to take a look directly did not speak a word, either, and they were completely silent as they looked at Dong Fang and the others with gazes that carried traces of respect and envy.
“My Highest Ancestor instructed that everyone had traveled far away from various major cities in the southern region and had experienced great difficulties along the way. So, he specifically ordered us to send some quality fruit and wine. Just a little sign of thanks, please. Beside him, the elegant and mature Wang Wan lightly smiled, and then the 35 female disciples sent out trays after trays of delicious food, tea, wine, and fruits. Their etiquette was satisfying and without the slightest hint of arrogance, making others feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
When they saw this scene, the crowd that had come to see the scene on True Heart Peak could not hold their breath emotionally in their hearts. Look, these are the resources and reserves of a large sect!
"Fellow Daoists, I wonder if we can pay our respects to Senior Chen Xi?" In the crowd, a gray-haired old man spoke. His face was filled with wrinkles, his appearance was old, and his age was enough to be Chen Xi's grandfather, yet he called Chen Xi as Senior and his expression was still so respectful and sincere, yet he summoned Chen Xi as Senior, causing others to be unable to refrain from having strange feelings.
But no one present felt that it was inappropriate. In the cultivation world, strength determines seniority. Not to mention that Chen Xi was the brother of the Supreme Elder of the Wandering Sword, Bei Heng, so calling him Senior was something to do.
"Sorry, my Ancestor is not at True Heart Peak right now. If everyone wants to pay your respects, then during the sect entrance test tomorrow, my Great Ancestor will be present as well. So, you can naturally meet her back then, ” Dong Fang said.
Everyone present could not help but be a little disappointed when they heard this, but they were also satisfied with being able to make the trip to True Heart Peak.
Chen Xi was indeed not at the True Heart Peak. Over these past few days, the number of people who had come to take a look at True Heart Peak had increased explosively. His cultivation place that was originally filled with silence and solitude was now no different from a bustling market, and was augmented by people who came because of his fame and wanted to pay their respects to him every time. It was fine when it was only once or twice, but when it became a lot, even a saint would be disturbed, let alone him.
So, he could only temporarily hide outside.
——
Outside the Wandering Sword Sect.
On the side of the waterfall and lake, Chen Xi was holding a blue scroll and was comprehending the Dao of the Amulet. This book was called the Detailed Narration of the 13 Zhou Formations, and he borrowed it from the Book Reserve Pavilion of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect. The dedication, refinement, and formation techniques of the 13 types of grand formations were recorded in them, and their compositions were original and coincided with the principles of the heavens.
He wanted to cultivate the Art of Deducing in it.
The Dao of the Talismans was as vast as the sea, containing the boundless secrets of heaven and fusing them with the geography of the land and sea, and it was extremely complicated. Everything in the universe contained the secrets of the heavens, and it was absolutely impossible for him to cultivate all the Amulets and Formations in the world. But as long as he comprehended the Deducing Arts, he would be able to obtain any formation, and he would even be able to obtain a completely new Talisman Formation.
As a result, the strength of the Talisman Formation Master's deduction ability was related to his level of ability. The stronger the deduction ability, the more secrets from heaven understood by the Talisman Formation Master, and the stronger those drawn by the Talisman and Talisman Formation formed by the Talisman Formation Master would form. It could be used to refine equipment, refine pills, slaughter enemies, trap enemies, condense spirit energy, transform monstrous Qi, heal wounds, remove clouds, produce rain, and so on, and that includes everything and being able to do anything.
Chen Xi's goal of cultivating the Art of Deduction was very simple: he wanted to combine the eight great sword moves of the Myriad Convergence Sword Scripture and spend an infinite variety within it.
Of course, the stronger his deduction abilities were, the deeper his knowledge and understanding of the Dao of Talismans would be, and it brought about a mutually beneficial effect and progress.
Suddenly, a sudden wave of horse hoof sounds rang out from the distant mountain path, and even the ground trembled as dust and ground fluttered in the air.
Before long, a group of about 50 strong riders in bright clothes rode on the Flamecloud Bloodmane Horses with expressions of carnage as they howled and quickly approached this area. In the middle of this rider is a beautiful train pulled by six Horned Panthers. The carriage was covered in a pattern of clouds and had precious stones hanging on it, and it was wrapped around with the light of a treasure. Their speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the side of the waterfall and pond.
"Stop!" A middle-aged man with an inconspicuous chin and fierce-looking eyes waved his hands behind him, and this group instantly stopped, causing them to appear well-trained and extremely capable.
"Hey, little boy, is the Sword Sect loitering ahead?" The middle-aged man watched Chen Xi, and he did not get off his horse before looking down as he asked while shouting.
"Yes nih . '' Chen Xi nodded, yet she sighed in her heart. I can't stay at True Heart Peak nor can I stay here, it seems like I have to find a quiet and secluded place before I can cultivate quietly.
During these past few days, countless numbers of people had gathered in the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect from everywhere. Most of the young men and young women had guards and servants accompanying them, and there were many people who were more arrogant and arrogant than this group. So Chen Xi did not feel anything from the sublime tone and arrogance this middle-aged man had towards him.
"Dong Que, we've already rushed day and night without stopping from Misty Sea City, and it's just right for us to rest here before going up the mountain for a bit. ”A handsome young man in an embroidered robe and wearing a jade steel hat walked down from the beautiful carriage.
"Good . "The middle-aged man with an inconspicuous chin and sharp-looking eyes called Dong Que agreed loudly before starting to order the others to build the tent in a practiced manner.
"Little boy, step aside, this pond has been occupied by our Misty Sea City Dong Clan. "Since the pond only covered an area of more than 30 meters and Chen Xi was sitting on the side of the pond, he instantly looked a little conspicuous. Dong Que walked up to stand in front of Chen Xi immediately, and then he looked down from above as he spoke in a tone that carried oppression and threats.
Chen Xi frowned.
"Forget it, Dong Que, don't force her to leave, I still have a lot of things to ask her later. “The handsome young man waved his hand and instantly arrived at the side of the pool. He used clear water to wash his face before sitting cross-legged and receiving a transparent wine cup filled with dark red wine, and then he drank a mouthful of his heart before licking his lips and saying. "Son, do you know Chen Xi?"
This young man around the age of 14 or 15 spoke in a tone that revealed a commanding and arrogant aura, and he acted haughty like an elder.
Chen Xi felt that it was a little funny, yet she still nodded.
"Oh, then tell me, is he really as tough as the rumors say?" The handsome young man's eyes lit up as he asked once more.
Chen Xi shook his head. "I don't know. ”
The handsome young man laughed. "You're really too stupid. I'm in Misty Sea City, but I've heard his name. As a person from Dragon Lake City, how could you have never heard of him? ”
Chen Xi asked. "Daoist Fellow, could it be that you are looking for something for Chen Xi?"
“There is no harm in telling you. Chen Xi was currently the sword brother of the Supreme Elder of the Wanderingcloud Sword Magic Wand, and he was both respected and had great authority. Supposedly, he would even attend the ceremony from the side when the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect recruited disciples this time around. I've already established a relationship with him, and I have 100% confidence to pass the sect entrance examination tomorrow. "The handsome young man laughed arrogantly as he spoke unhurriedly.
"Oh, I wonder how Daoist Fellow achieved this?" Chen Xi asked in shock. She was indeed surprised, as she did not know the little man in front of her at all.
"I can't say it, I can't say it. "The handsome young man smiled mysteriously, but was unwilling to reveal the truth, and he instead asked Chen Xi. "Right, you came for the sake of participating in the entrance test of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect as well?"
Chen Xi shook his head. "No . ”
The handsome young man sighed. "Right, there are 100,000 plus people who have registered this time the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect opened its doors to recruit disciples, whereas, there are only 100 positions. You are an isolated person with no money or support, and you cannot pass the exam even if you participate. You know your own limitations. ”
It's thundering!
Right at this moment, a loud sound from the drum-like hooves of a horse rang out once again from a distant mountain road, and that voice even surpassed this group of handsome youths.
After a while, a large group of strength and drive ran over here. 64 guards wearing scaled armor and red robe rode on Ink-Horn Beasts on both sides, whereas, the, the treasure carriage that seemed to be made of gemstones and ice crystals was in the middle. The treasure carriage had a beautiful curtain and was pulled by eight ferocious beasts, and it was extremely stylish.
There was even a thread after strand of translucent bells hanging on the treasure carriage, and along with the wind, the bells sounded clearly like water flowing in a clear, bright and thin spring, and it causes one's heart to be unable to help but to be at peace.
When viewed from afar, this group of people were like clear water, churning as they came, and not long after, they arrived beside the pond.
"Wang Clan's? Hmph! I know that all of you will definitely come too. "The handsome young man raised his eyes and swept with his gaze before coldly snorting, and he seemed to already know this group that had just appeared for a long time.
