The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 28: The Land of Demons
But the next moment, a scene that truly shocked them appeared.

Facing Ling Xue's strongest sword that was infused with the Half-Step Sword Intent, Gu Yuan was not afraid. He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were like two sword energies, tearing through the void.

"The sun is full!"

When Gu Yuan swung his sword, the sword energy that Ling Xue had just condensed instantly dissipated and then merged into his sword.

At this point, the Star Realm experts in the VIP seats could no longer remain calm and exclaimed in unison: "Sword Intention, this is the real Sword Intention."

Rumble!
As everyone exclaimed, a storm had already begun to rage on the platform.

The sun was filled with the true sword intent, and the sword energy was more than ten meters long. In front of Gu Yuan's true sword intent, Ling Xue's half-step sword intent was suppressed and she couldn't even raise her head. The black airflow and black sword energy were cut apart like tofu. Then, the sword marks were cracked on the surface of the platform with undiminished power and flashed past Ling Xue.

A moment later, a two-foot-deep red sword mark appeared on the rock wall in front of the VIP seats, and sparks flew everywhere.

A strand of black hair fell lightly, and Ling Xue stood motionless. Just now, she felt the threat of death. If the opponent had not shown mercy and deliberately deviated from the attack trajectory, this sword energy would definitely cut her in half, and then burn her to ashes, leaving no trace.

puff!
Suddenly, Ling Xue coughed up a mouthful of blood. It turned out that the sword energy did not hurt her, but the sword intent made her blood boil, and she couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

I felt much better actually.

"you win."

Ling Xue smiled bitterly. Perhaps this was the gap between her and the top genius. She had put in a lot of effort, studied diligently and practiced hard for many years, but she still hadn't truly comprehended the sword intent, while the other party had comprehended it after only four years of practice.

"Concession."

After the Scarlet Flame Sword was sheathed, Gu Yuan was not too proud and saluted with his fists clasped.

"Gu Yuansheng!"

The deacon who drew the lots was stunned for a moment and said loudly.

At the main VIP seat, Mo Tianxing, the leader of the Feitian Demon Sect, asked the Inner Sect's Great Elder meaningfully, "I remember that Li Daoxuan of the Wuqing Sect seemed to have realized the sword intent at the age of sixteen, and Yan Chihuo of the Fire Spirit Hall also realized the knife intent at the age of sixteen."

"Yes, Sect Master. Gu Yuan was able to comprehend the sword intent at the age of fourteen, which is enough to prove that his talent is even greater than these two. He has unlimited potential and can become one of the three pillars of our Feitian Demon Sect one day."

The Great Elder answered respectfully.

Mo Tianxing nodded, "Investigate him carefully. If there is no problem with his loyalty, teach him the Tongtian Magic Skill."

A genius like Gu Yuan would be valued no matter which sect he was placed in.

But when they heard that their own sect leader was going to teach them one of the two most important martial arts of the Ancient Source Feitian Demon Sect, the Tongtian Demon Art, the inner sect elders and the two core disciples of the Feitian Demon Sect who were sitting with them in the elders' seats were still surprised.

The person who could not accept Gu Yuan's practice of the all-powerful magic skills was definitely Mo Yan.

In the past, in Feitian Demon Sect, the reason why he was so outstanding among his peers was not only because of his outstanding talent, but also because of his reliance on the top-level earth-level martial arts, Tongtian Demonic Art. In addition, he also combined several high-level earth-level martial arts and a top-level earth-level finger technique, so that he could be on par with Yan Chihuo, Li Daoxuan and others.

If Gu Yuan, a genius who had comprehended the sword spirit at the age of fourteen, were allowed to learn the all-powerful magic skills, wouldn't his advantages be completely wiped out?

This was absolutely unacceptable to him.

Thinking of this, he immediately pretended to be concerned about the sect, "Sect Master, although Junior Brother Gu Yuan has outstanding talent, he has only been in the sect for a short time and his character is not yet determined. Isn't it too hasty to teach him the Tongtian Magic Skill?" The other inner sect elders also had concerns in this regard and tried to dissuade him, "Sect Master, in my opinion, it would not be too late to teach him the Tongtian Magic Skill after the Ghost Service Land is opened. I believe that by that time, he will have a sense of belonging to the sect, and by the way, let him use the Ghost Service Land to enter the Baoyuan Realm. It will not be too late to teach him the Tongtian Magic Skill then. In addition, the new Hidden Dragon Ranking will begin in two months. With Gu Yuan's strength, there is still great hope that he can get a place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking."

The Land of Ghost Service is one of the four ancient heritage sites in Nanzhuo Domain, and it is also the largest ancient heritage site in Nanzhuo Domain. It opens once every ten years and is jointly controlled by seven sixth-grade sects, dozens of top seventh-grade sects, and the royal families of three major countries.

Warriors entering the ancient land must not have a bone age over 25 years old.

Every time it opens, all the major sects will send their most promising disciples in.

Not only are there a variety of heavenly and earthly elixirs, but there are also many magical weapons and martial arts secrets. The foundation of the seven major sixth-grade sects is becoming more and more profound because they send a group of disciples to the ghost service land every ten years.

In addition, the center of the Guiyi Land, Guiyi Island, can also help warriors enter the Baoyuan Realm, and even further their cultivation in the Baoyuan Realm. It also produces top-level secret manuals.

For example, the Heavenly Demonic Art of the Feitian Demon Sect was obtained from the Ghost Island.

Of course, dangers and opportunities coexist.

It is an indisputable fact that the mortality rate is getting higher each time.

The other three ancient heritage sites, because they produce the highest level of high-level or even mid-level earth-level secret manuals, and because they are too far away from the three major countries, need to maintain a balance of power among all parties.

The sectarian forces and royal families within the three major countries did not fight for them, as they were all in the hands of other medium-sized and small countries.

For example, the Tianmeng Ancient Land is considered to be the last-ranked ancient heritage site in the Nanzhuo domain.

The Tianmeng Battle Hall inside can only help warriors in the Ningzhen realm to enter the Baoyuan realm, and it has little effect on improving the cultivation level of warriors in the Baoyuan realm.

Even the secret manuals produced are only mid-earth level at best.

Mo Tianxing took the elders' words to heart. Considering that there was only a little over a year left before the opening of the Ghost Service Land, minus the two months for the Hidden Dragon List, even if he let Gu Yuan switch to practicing the Tongtian Magic Skill, his strength would not improve much in a short period of time.

It might even affect one's entry into the land of ghost servants and into the Baoyuan realm.

So he agreed, "Okay, then I'll teach you after the ghost service is over."

Mo Yan was secretly delighted when he heard that Gu Yuan would learn the Tongtian Magic Skill more than a year later. This way, in the next Potential Dragon List, or even before he entered the Star Realm, the other party would basically not be able to pose much of a threat to his position.

Thinking of this, even though Mo Yan was calm, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Murong Qingcheng on the side noticed Mo Yan's reaction and frowned slightly. Her senior brother seemed calm and composed on the surface, but he was actually very arrogant and a little jealous of other people's talents. She had already felt this before.

Therefore, he has always been quite low-key in the Feitian Demon Sect and concealed his strength.

But she could never have imagined that the other party would one day target an inner disciple who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Such behavior is truly shameful.

However, the elders' concerns were not unreasonable. Besides, she was only a core disciple and had never met Gu Yuan before, so there was no need to say anything.
