Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Disciples from various immortal sects in Lingzhou crowded together, eager to try.

Although my skill level is not as high as my opponent's, fighting in the arena is just a friendly exchange, not a life-or-death battle. Being able to experience the swordsmanship of other states is enough to make the trip worthwhile.

A disciple of the Southern Star Sword Sect was about to pay his spirit stones and go up on the stage to challenge the sword when suddenly, a man carrying a large sword on his back landed on the stage with his clothes fluttering and shouted, "Zhao He, a rogue cultivator, challenges the swordsmanship of Yangchi Prefecture!"

With a flick of his wrist, the man sent a hundred spirit stones steadily falling into the spirit stone pool in Xiyang Chizhou.

The representative from Xiyang Chizhou was the Little Sword Sect. The sect's elders wore yellow robes embroidered with ancient flying swords in black silk thread, which made them look solemn and dignified, giving them an imposing presence.

The swordsman guarding the arena gave a sword salute.

The disciple who had been beaten to it widened his eyes and muttered, "So that's how it works? Oh well, I'll go next."

In Yuling Prefecture, the arena is presided over by True Person Ziwan. Anyone who wants to go up to fight must first obediently pay spirit stones.

Jiang Xin stood behind Master Ziwan, her gaze fixed on the arena.

The one fighting in the arena was a cultivator from the Central Plains. He was tall and elegant, with a graceful bearing. His long sword, washed clean, was like a mirror, reflecting his slender figure.

The young master drew his sword twice, and Ziwan had already discerned his background.

"The Flying Leaf Sect's Soaring Cloud Sword can be described as having a spirit that pierces the sky and soars above the heavens."

"Master, how does the Lingyun Sword compare to our Nanxing Sword?" Jiang Xin asked.

Since the Twin Heavens Spirit Realm, she has been taken in as a personal disciple by True Person Ziwan. For this Five Continents Conference, True Person Ziwan only brought Jiang Xin and her second disciple Yi Jiyu.

Yi Jiyu wandered around the other arenas, pondering which one he should challenge first.

Disciples of the immortal sect can obtain one hundred spirit stones from their sect to challenge the sword on the arena, but if they want to challenge the sword a second or third time, they will have to pay for it themselves.

As a direct disciple of the Southern Star Sword Sect, Yi Jiyu would not lack spirit stones. He planned to fight in all the arenas of the other four states.

After all, such a good opportunity to challenge someone is rare.

Master Ziwan looked at the arena and said calmly, "There are three thousand sword styles, each with its own strengths. It's hard to judge who is better or worse. You just need to remember that each swordsman's own sword is the best sword."

Jiang Xin seemed to be deep in thought.

Does Master mean that if she cultivates the Southern Star Sword, the Southern Star Sword will be superior to the Soaring Cloud Sword, and if she cultivates the Soaring Cloud Sword, then the Soaring Cloud Sword will be superior to the Southern Star Sword?

Sword cultivators are often arrogant. Even if they lose a sword duel, they will only admit that their skills are inferior to others, but they will never admit that their swordsmanship is inferior to that of others.

Jiang Xin lowered her eyes and said gently, "This disciple will follow Master's teachings."

Master Ziwan nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this disciple. "The Five Continents Gathering is lively, so there's no need to stay here. You can wander around. If you find the arena interesting, you can go up and challenge them. Although there's a difference in cultivation level, there's always something to gain from challenging others, win or lose. Losing isn't a big deal."

Jiang Xin is now at the fourth level of the cultivation realm. Among her classmates who entered the inner sect in the same batch, only Ning Fusang and Xu Qiu have a higher cultivation level than her.

However, Ning Fusang's cultivation speed was too fast, already reaching a level that Jiang Xin could not even dream of.

She only had a brief encounter with that group of new disciples. Ning Fusang is now considered to be of the same generation as Li Jinzhen, the senior sister of the Southern Star Sword Sect.

Perhaps in addition to the elegant title of "Twin Beauties of Swordsmanship," Yu Lingzhou will also have the title of "Twin Masters of Southern Stars."

Jiang Xin wandered aimlessly through the crowd. Over the years, she hadn't made many friends; her closest confidante was Li Huiran. However, Li Huiran had stayed at Yuzhi Peak to handle miscellaneous matters at this Five Continents Conference and hadn't accompanied her. Lost in thought, she suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Junior Sister Ning, between Chizhou and Mingzhou, who do you think I should challenge first?"

Jiang Xin looked up and saw two figures dressed in moon-white robes mingling in the crowd. The girl was tall and slender, with a cold and aloof demeanor. She said casually, "The sword cultivator from Chizhou is only at the early stage of the seventh level. It's a bit unfair for Senior Brother to challenge him on stage. If he's knocked out of the arena on the first day, where will the Qingyue Sect Master's face be?"

Although the Little Sword Sect is the representative of Chizhou, the situation is the same as that of the Southern Star Sword Sect, where quotas are also allocated to other sects.

Of course, not dividing them is also an option, provided that one can withstand the pressure from other sects.

After all, everyone knows that the Five Continents Tournament is the fastest way for an individual to make a name for themselves. Who wouldn't want to fight for such an opportunity for their sect's prodigy?
Taking the Autumn Frost Sword Sect as an example, would such a large sect not have any sword cultivators under the age of 100 who meet the requirements of the Knowledge Realm?

However, since the Autumn Frost Sword Sect lost to the Southern Star Sword Sect, there is only one spot left. Lu Zhuo will definitely give this opportunity to his daughter, Lu Ningxiang, so that she can become famous in one battle.

Although Lu Ningxiang is old enough to participate in the next Five States Conference, it's always better to make a name for herself as soon as possible.

All the major immortal sects tend to give opportunities to young people.

The so-called Five Continents Conference is not just a simple competition; it is also a huge arena for fame and fortune.

Otherwise, how could it have been held year after year?

People might do things without any profit, but if it reaches a point where everyone flocks to it, there must be something to gain.

Yang Ruo, seeing others challenge swords, felt an irresistible urge to do so. Without thinking too much, he scratched his ear and said, "Junior Sister Ning is right. We can't ruin Yangchi Prefecture's place. So, I'll challenge that person from Ming Prefecture first."

Squeezing through the crowd, Yang Ruo spotted Jiang Xin, her eyes brightening slightly as she greeted her, "Junior Sister Jiang, are you here to compete as well?"

The sword cultivators in Chizhou are the weakest, so the most rogue cultivators come here to compete. After all, if they win, they can get a reward of two thousand spirit stones, a full twenty times the original amount.

Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels who want to show off also come to Chizhou.

Jiang Xin called out, "Senior Brother Yang Ruo, Senior Sister Ning," before speaking slowly, "I'm just taking a look around. When I've made up my mind, I might go up to the arena to experience it."

Yang Ruo nodded: "It's good to see the opponent's strength on the first day. Observing other people's fights can also help you learn some practical combat skills."

Seeing that Jiang Xin was alone, he called her over to come along.

Although there were fewer people at the arena in Dongyao Mingzhou, it was still packed with people, making it impossible to squeeze in.

Moreover, every time Yang Ruo wanted to go onto the stage, someone would beat him to it.

A vibrant red ribbon slid over everyone's heads, encircling a pillar of the arena. A woman dressed in celestial robes, exuding an ethereal aura, landed on the arena, holding the red ribbon, and smiled sweetly: "Zhou Wu of Huanxi Heaven, I request to fight."

The woman had bright eyes and white teeth, and her beauty was so captivating that everyone who saw her was mesmerized.

"She is a female fairy from the Joyful Heaven of Beiyu Lingzhou!"

"Such a stunning beauty proves that the rumors in the world are true; the Joyful Heaven only accepts female cultivators with beautiful faces."

"It's a pity that the Huanxi Heaven Sect was established in a harsh and cold place like Yuling Prefecture. Only at the Five Prefectures Assembly can we have the honor of seeing the female immortals of Huanxi Heaven."
