I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 366 Senior Sister is Dead (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Luo Qingsi shook Jiang Yi for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but Jiang Yi showed no signs of waking up.

Luo Qingsi froze there, her eyes twitching. Suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, she jumped up and sprinted towards the sword-testing platform at the mountain's summit.

"Junior Sister Yaoyao, Senior Sister is dead—"

The sound pierced through the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords Stele and reached the sky, causing the few people who had just arrived in the high sky to look down.

Today, in addition to the three Nascent Soul Sword Lords, Jueying, Feihua, and Chilun, they have also invited a Divine Transformation Sword Venerable from their sect, because no promising talents have emerged on the Sword Testing Peak for many years.

This time, three of them suddenly appeared, each studying the sword tablets left by the three sect founders.

If there's any success, it'll be a scene of fierce competition.

The rule that the disciples should choose which sect to join is a rule established when the three sect founders were still alive, and cannot be forced.

Therefore, the three sword masters were afraid that they were not qualified enough, so they asked the Nascent Soul Sword Master to come, just in case.

Imagine if a promising young talent who had grasped the sword intent of the ancestral master went to another sect; that would truly infuriate people.

The person that Jueying Sword Lord has invited today is the head of Guiyi Sword Pavilion, the top of the ten sword pavilions of Lingxu Sword Sect, and the Songtao Sword Venerable, who is in the late stage of Nascent Soul.

The pine tree stands firm on the cliff without breaking, and the sword becomes even sharper when it encounters a strong opponent.

This is the sword heart of Songtao Sword Lord. Although he himself is of average appearance, old-fashioned and sparing with words, the sword aura he exudes makes him stand out from the crowd wherever he goes.

As soon as the two arrived, Sword Master Jueying saw Jiang Yi still sleeping there. He sighed heavily and wanted to ask Sword Master Songtao to go and check on the situation at the Sword Testing Platform. However, Sword Master Songtao raised his hand and squinted at Jiang Yi to take a closer look.

"good."

After saying that, Sword Master Songtao took a step and went straight to the airspace above the Sword Testing Platform.

The Sword Master Jueying looked at Jiang Yi for a long time, but couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to follow her.

People from Qingwei Sword Sect and Taichu Sword Sect arrived, standing in pairs, nodding to each other without saying a word, only looking down.

"Junior Sister Yaoyao, Senior Sister is dead—"

Luo Qingsi ran up in a panic. Liu Taozhi was about to step forward to test the sword when she heard the noise and rushed to Luo Qingsi's side, listening to Luo Qingsi's animated description.

After hearing this, Liu Taozhi relaxed and whispered, "Senior Sister Qingsi, don't talk nonsense. Senior Sister is probably... trapped in the remnant spirit of the sword monument."

Liu Taozhi also encountered the same thing. Later, if that drop of water hadn't hit her forehead, she would have had a hard time getting out on her own.

The founder of the Qingwei Sword Sect must have been a very gentle female cultivator. Even though Liu Taozhi had not yet fully comprehended the Qingwei Sword Intent, she did not forcefully keep her there.

"Alright, Senior Sister Qingsi, let's test our swords first. Trust your senior sister."

Luo Qingsi nodded blankly. She could only tell her senior sister about the sword monument, not anyone else.

On the sword-testing platform, because Liu Taozhi had left, Lu Zhanqiu had no choice but to step forward first.

The dozen or so sword cultivators in front had already finished testing their swords, and only five of them had left a shallow sword mark on the opposite testing stone wall.

Anything that leaves a mark, and whose mark does not disappear within three breaths, will cause a sword light to appear on the sword-testing platform, leaving a sword-shaped red mark on the back of the sword-testing cultivator's hand.

This is the certificate of approval. You can then use this certificate to report to the three major sword sects.

As Lu Zhanqiu stepped onto the sword-testing platform, he suddenly felt a sense of danger looming over him. He immediately knew that a high-level cultivator was watching him from the shadows.

Far from being afraid, he felt a surge of fighting spirit.

This was the opportunity he had been waiting for—to prove himself in front of the seniors of the Primordial Sword Sect!

He took a deep breath, and all the sword energy from the early stage of the Golden Core realm burst forth without reservation, transforming into dazzling golden light that enveloped his body.

Within that pure and sharp golden sword energy, there was a faint, rumbling sound of wind and thunder, which was his initial understanding of the power of "thunder opening" in the "Primordial Sword Intent"!

Zheng!
Lu Zhanqiu drew his sword and swung it, a dazzling golden sword aura tearing through the sky, emitting a breathtaking shattering sound, carrying the resolute force to cleave through chaos, and slammed fiercely into the smooth, jade-like test stone wall.

boom!
The clanging sound of metal against stone, far more intense than any previous sword mark, reverberated through the valley.

Amidst the flying stone chips on the testing stone wall, a deep and clear sword mark, with even faint flashes of lightning along its edges, was deeply etched onto the surface of the stone wall.

"Hiss—such a deep sword wound!"

"That metal-attribute sword energy carries the power of thunder? That's terrifying!" "This person has actually merged his own sword intent with that of the Primordial Ancestor?"

A commotion erupted around them. The sword cultivators who had not yet left were all stunned by this domineering and fierce sword strike, and their gazes toward Lu Zhanqiu were filled with shock and awe.

Without a doubt, this is the most stunning sword mark to date.

High in the sky, the furrowed brows of the Crimson Wheel Sword Lord, which had been tightly knit for many days, finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

The imposing and domineering Nascent Soul Sword Master beside him nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with admiration. "At the early stage of Golden Core, his sword intent is already unstoppable. This boy is worthy of joining my Primordial Sword Sect."

Before the crowd's astonishment had subsided, Liu Taozhi, dressed in a lake-blue outfit, had already walked to the center of the sword-testing platform.

High in the sky, Fei Hua Sword Master of Qingwei Sword Sect looked on with anticipation as he quickly and quietly introduced Liu Taozhi's composed performance on the stone beam, as well as her speed in breaking through the Wu Hui Sword Valley and the four characters 'Frosty Sky and Cold Moon' that she had carved, to the elegant female cultivator beside him who had a cool temperament and wore a simple Daoist robe.

The Crimson Wheel Sword Lord initially wanted to subconsciously comment that Liu Tao's reserved and mild-mannered nature might hinder her from achieving great things, but remembering how Lu Zhanqiu had repeatedly embarrassed him, he forcibly swallowed his words and decided to remain silent and observe.

Immediately, the eyes of several high-level cultivators fell on Liu Taozhi.

Lu Zhanqiu stood to the side, arms crossed, scrutinizing Liu Taozhi with an arrogant expression.

Liu Taozhi felt the pressure of everyone's gaze and couldn't help but feel nervous.

She closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down.

The next moment, she suddenly drew her sword and swept it horizontally. A light of ice-blue sword light, which was not dazzling but rather clear and gentle like water ripples, silently disappeared into the wide stone wall of the sword-testing area opposite.

Silently, the surface of the stone wall remained smooth, without leaving any trace.

"Pfft!"

Lu Zhanqiu finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, just loud enough for anyone to hear.

"A solid foundation is certainly a good thing, but the path of swordsmanship ultimately requires a certain amount of comprehension, which is lacking..."

"Look! Look at the stone wall!"

Before Lu Zhanqiu could finish his sarcastic remark, an even louder exclamation suddenly erupted from the crowd.

On the smooth, mirror-like, and indestructible stone wall used for testing swords, one circle, two circles, three circles...

Like a lake surface tossed with a pebble, it quickly ripples with soft yet resilient patterns, spreading out layer upon layer from the inside, from deep to shallow, yet each line is clearly imprinted deep within the stone wall.

What's even more astonishing is that these seemingly gentle and slowly spreading water ripples and sword marks contain a power that can silently penetrate and disintegrate even the hardest objects.

At the center of the ripples, a faint, icy chill lingers, adding a touch of fierceness to the gentle waves.

Movement and stillness complement each other; softness contains strength!
This perfectly embodies the 'pure and subtle, nourishing without a sound' quality of Qingwei Sword Intent, which is perfectly integrated with Liu Tao's own Cold Moon Sword Qi.

"This……"

A breathtaking silence fell over the high sky, and the eyes of the three Nascent Soul Sword Masters simultaneously lit up with a sharp light.

Feihua Sword Master exclaimed excitedly, "It's definitely the sword intent of Ancestor Qingwei! Not only is her foundation solid and her temperament resolute, but her comprehension is also exceptional. In such a short time, she was able to perfectly combine the essence of Qingwei's sword intent with her own sword heart. It's truly remarkable!"

Beside Fei Hua Sword Master, the cold-faced Ting Lan Sword Venerable spoke decisively, his voice filled with unquestionable certainty.

"What this woman has comprehended is the true essence of our sect's lineage. She will surely join our Qingwei Sword Sect!"

As the Crimson Wheel Sword Lord watched this scene, he felt a mix of emotions, including relief that he hadn't spoken.

In fact, Lu Zhanqiu was already quite good, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time and ran into these oddballs.

but……

On the sword-testing platform, Liu Taozhi pulled Luo Qingsi up, and the Crimson Wheel Sword Lord immediately said to the Nascent Soul Sword Venerable of his sect beside him, "It is this woman who, together with Lu Zhanqiu, has been studying the Primordial Sword Stele of our sect."

As the Crimson Wheel Sword Lord spoke, he subconsciously used his divine sense to probe the Primordial Sword Stele, which was not far away. Caught off guard, he saw the broken pieces on the ground and was immediately struck as if by lightning.

On the sword-testing platform, Luo Qingsi suddenly trembled.
