The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 37 Nanlin Sword Head
Gu Yuan said: "In terms of cultivation, there has not been much progress, but I have just mastered the Ghost Shadow Phantom."

"You can't rush to improve your cultivation. When the opportunity comes, you will break through. Wait, what did you say? You have mastered the Ghost Shadow Mystery?" The Great Elder nodded slightly, then became a little stunned and looked at Gu Yuan in amazement.

Gu Yuan nodded. There was no need to hide such a thing. Moreover, it would be exposed sooner or later in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition.

Mo Yan was shocked. He mastered the Ghost Shadow in two months? What a joke! The Ghost Shadow was a high-level earth-level physical skill. Ordinary people might not be able to achieve it in three to five years. For him, it took him half a year to master the Ghost Shadow.

But compared with the other side, the difference is not just a little bit, but twice as much.

The Great Elder also didn't quite believe it. "After mastering the Ghost Shadow Phantom, one can turn oneself into a virtual being."

He hadn't finished his next words yet, because Gu Yuan, who had seemed so calm and composed just a moment ago, suddenly appeared and his figure became blurred, as if he had turned into a black airflow, bypassing Murong Qingcheng and Mo Yan and coming behind them.

Only these four of them have cultivation bases far superior to Gu Yuan. If it were another warrior at the peak of the late Condensation Realm, or even an ordinary warrior at the early Bao Yuan Realm, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to see the shadow of Gu Yuan.

"You have indeed mastered the Ghost Shadow Mystery Technique. Now, in terms of Qinggong alone, you are not much worse than the senior disciples of the major sixth-grade sects. What you lack is just cultivation. But you are still young, and the next few Hidden Dragon Ranking competitions will definitely be your home court."

Mo Tianxing nodded, feeling very pleased and happy that the Feitian Demon Sect had a genius like Gu Yuan.

At the same time, he secretly made a decision that no matter whether Gu Yuan achieved any results in this year's Hidden Dragon List, he would teach him the Tongtian Magic Skill.

Among the four, only Murong Qingcheng did not speak, but the surprise on her face was hard to conceal.

Soon, everyone set off.

"Qianlong Ancient Land is also called Zhenlong Ancient Land. It has existed since ancient times. It suppresses 72 dragon veins. Among them, the earth energy dragon vein under Qianlong Ancient City is the most respected. It controls the direction of the earth energy in Nanzhuo Region."

Along the way, the Great Elder was explaining the rumors about the Qianlong Ancient Land to Gu Yuan, Murong Qingcheng, and Mo Yan.

Gu Yuan listened and observed the Qianlong Ancient Land.

This land is boundless and vast, and the mountains are ancient and steep. At the beginning, Guyuan did not notice anything different, but as he went deeper, he found that there was an ancient breath emanating from this land, reversing yin and yang, confusing the mysteries of nature, and it was mysterious.

“No wonder, all the major sects in Nanzhuo Territory flock to it, the Qianlong Ancient Land is indeed extraordinary.”

Because of the presence of Mo Tianxing, a powerful being in the Spirit Sea Realm, Gu Yuan did not dare to release his soul power, but the spectacular sight of the Zhenlong Ancient Land still made Gu Yuan breathtaking.

Next, the Great Elder explained to them how the leader of the Jiuyou Sect had planned to seize the dragon vein energy of the ancient land of Zhenlong, but ended up suffering a backlash and being hunted down by the Dragon King and Queen.

After hearing this, Mo Yan and Murong Qingcheng were both very excited and yearning.

Only Gu Yuan did not have that feeling, because he had higher pursuits.

He knew that he just had to get stronger step by step.

When I reach that level in the future, the so-called Nine Nether Sect Leader will be nothing.

So he took out two low-grade spirit stones and simply sat cross-legged on the back of the flying monster to practice.

Seven days passed in a flash. Zhenlong Ancient Land is located in the center of the three major countries. It is larger than any single country. There are many mountain ranges that are connected together. There is no starting point and no end point.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or the timing was right.

The seven sixth-grade sects, including Fire Spirit Palace, Wuqing Sect, Feitian Demon Sect, Luoxia Sect, Tianyun Sect, Bingjue Sect, and Xuankong Mountain, arrived almost simultaneously two hours before Qianlong Ancient City opened.

At this time, no less than millions of warriors had gathered on the vast plain outside the south gate of Qianlong Ancient City. The crowds were huge, black and dense, covering the mountains and plains.

The sects that arrived early had already built simple arched buildings on the plain for people to live in. The lone warriors were not so particular and simply sat cross-legged on the ground, built a bonfire, and roasted food.

Seeing the arrival of the people from the seven sixth-grade sects and the Black Dragon Empire, they all exclaimed in surprise.

"Look, the people from the Black Dragon Empire's royal family and the sixth-grade sect Luoxia Sect have arrived."

"There are also the Tianyun Sect, the Wuqing Sect, and the Feitian Demon Sect."

"The Fire Spirit Hall, the Ice Absolute Sect, and the Hanging Mountain are behind."

"The ones following the seven sect masters should be the senior disciples of the major sixth-grade sects. Compared with the last Hidden Dragon Ranking competition, there seem to be a lot of new faces."

"Of course. Except for Sikong Sheng, the Great Prince of the Black Dragon Empire, and the Great Disciple of Luoxia Sect, the top ten of the last Hidden Dragon Ranking are all over 24 years old and can no longer participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition."

The area closest to the South Gate is a large open space, which is reserved for the seven sixth-grade sects and the royal families of the three empires. No one dares to go up and rob it, and no one chooses to get close.

After various powerful monsters landed, people from the seven major sects and the royal family of the Black Dragon Empire got off the monsters and chose their respective places.

The elders of the sect gathered together and discussed in low voices, while the younger generation stood in the front, very conspicuous.

Gu Yuan currently has no interest, nor does he have the strength to compete with the Black Dragon Empire's Crown Prince and Sikong Sheng and other seven senior disciples of the sixth-rank sects.

Therefore, after jumping off the monster's back, he found a place near the Flying Demon Sect disciples who were traveling with him and waited quietly for the opening of the three gates of Longmen.

But someone noticed him.

"Hey! Who was that person who was with Feitian Demon Sect's eldest disciple, Mo Yan, and second disciple Murong Qingcheng? He was able to ride on the same flying monster beast as the Sect Master of Feitian Demon Sect. He is so young, and he seems to be at the peak of the middle stage of the Condensation Realm. Could he also be here to participate in the Hidden Dragon Ranking competition?"

"It should be the Nanlin Sword Master Guyuan that was widely rumored in the Black Dragon Empire some time ago. It is said that he defeated Wu Liangyu in the Feitian Demon Sect's inner disciple ranking competition two months ago, and also comprehended the sword intent."

"He comprehended the sword intent and defeated Wu Liangyu. Hiss, what a terrifying talent. Wu Liangyu's strength should not be underestimated. Even if he had not yet entered the Bao Yuan realm, even a peak warrior in the early Bao Yuan realm might not be able to defeat him."

Listening to the discussions around him, Gu Yuan, who had originally planned to sit cross-legged on the ground to take out the spirit stone to practice, couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face.

Nanlin Sword Head, when did it happen?
Murong Qingcheng's voice rang out nearby, "Wu Liangyu is well-known in the Black Dragon Empire's martial arts world, and even in the entire Nanzhuo Region. Because you defeated him, and you are from Nanlin City, and you are the only swordsman in Nanlin City who has comprehended the sword's meaning, the disciples in the sect gradually gave you the title of Nanlin Sword Master. I guess this must have spread from the sect in the past two months."
