Chapter 374 The Ten Great Sword Pavilions (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Besides Jiang Yunye's Flowing Cloud Pavilion, the other nine of the ten sword pavilions of the Lingxu Sword Sect are:
Lifeng Pavilion is a basic swordsmanship style that doesn't focus on fancy sword moves and formations. It refines sword techniques to the extreme, simplifying complexity and using a single sword to break through all techniques. It's a true single sword strike, which sounds a bit like Jiang Yixiu's Hidden Edge Sword.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator who was responsible for introducing Jiang Yi was named Luo Xingwen. He secretly said, "The people of Lifeng Pavilion are the most straightforward. If someone takes a hit from their sword and survives, they will turn around and run away because they don't have a second sword."

Thunderclap Pavilion, the Swift Thunder Sword School, whose swords strike like thunder, is unbreakable by speed. Its sword speed is unparalleled among the three sects. The pavilion master once cut down a torrential downpour with a single sword strike.

Luo Xingwen continued his commentary, "Ming Lei Pavilion is all about speed. Everything is fast: they win fast, lose fast, run away fast, and back down fast. If they run away, you don't need to chase them anymore; you basically can't catch them."

Qianyue Pavilion, the Sword Without Edge School, proves the Dao through strength. Its sword aura is as solid as a mountain. The disciples of the pavilion all carry heavy swords made of black iron, which can cleave rivers and divide mountains with a single strike.

"The sword cultivators of Qianyue Pavilion are strong, simple-minded, and easy to fool. They are quite useful as laborers."

Jiang Yi's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but interrupt the person in front of her, "Is it appropriate for you to be so 'sincere' on my first day in the sect?"

Luo Xingwen had an indifferent attitude. "Our sword cultivators are like the swords in our hands, straightforward and honest. We don't need to hide anything and we say what we mean. Although we fight to the death among the ten great sword pavilions within the sect, we are all united as one when we go out. You will get used to it after a while, Master."

Next is the 'Burning Heart Pavilion', the Karmic Fire Sword School. It uses emotions to temper the sword and burns the heart to seek the Dao. Its characteristic is that the sword is ignited by the fire of the heart. One must endure the pain of emotions without forgetting them in order to achieve great success. There are many fools in the pavilion.

When the Burning Heart Pavilion was mentioned, Luo Xingwen lowered his voice with a gossipy look on his face.

“Master, you should stay away from the people of Burning Heart Pavilion. They cultivate the Sword of Love, and ninety percent of their disciples are male. They are all quite emotional and like to flirt with the female cultivators of Qingwei Sword Sect. They are also often played with by the people of Hehuan Sect. Never mention Hehuan Sect in front of them.”

Jiang Yi interjected, "Then let me ask you this: is the Hehuan Sect considered a righteous sect or an evil sect?"

Besides the three major sword sects, there are several other large sects in Zhongzhou, including the Hehuan Sect, which seems to be quite close to the Lingxu Sword Sect.

Luo Xingwen gave him a look that said, "You don't even know this?"

"Of course, it's a righteous sect. The Joyful Union Sect doesn't force anyone. Their dual cultivation method is one of the orthodox paths. During cultivation, it's consensual. If feelings change after cultivation, that's perfectly normal. The cultivation journey is long. Who can guarantee they'll always love one person? We can't discriminate against them, right?"

"Okay, keep talking."

Opposite to the Burning Heart Pavilion is the Profound Ice Pavilion, which cultivates the ruthless sword path, severing all emotions and desires, and whose swords are as cold as ice.

Luo Xingwen thought of something funny and burst out laughing.

"The Xuanbing Pavilion is the second-to-last sword pavilion in our Lingxu Sword Sect, after the Liuyun Pavilion. There are quite a few disciples in the pavilion, half male and half female, but almost none of them have been able to truly master the Ruthless Sword Dao, including the current pavilion master, who is not far from breaking through his cultivation. Pfft~"

"Why is that?" Jiang Yi asked, her curiosity piqued.

Luo Xingwen looked around and covered his mouth with his hand, saying, "Because the Hehuan Sect people love to provoke those who cultivate the Ruthless Sword Dao, they find it particularly exciting. Therefore, the sword cultivators of the Xuanbing Pavilion are especially popular with the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect, while the sword cultivators of the Fenxin Pavilion hate them to the core. The two pavilions are like fire and water, and they fight whenever they meet."

"The current head of the Xuanbing Pavilion has been entangled with a Nascent Soul stage fairy from the Hehuan Sect for over three hundred years, I've been calculating... I heard that fairy is preparing to hold a marriage ceremony with someone else in a few days. The atmosphere in the Xuanbing Pavilion lately... tsk tsk tsk~"

Jiang Yi suddenly realized, this was the story of someone who had been pursuing someone for three hundred years, then stopped, married someone else, and now was being pursued so intensely that he was almost driven to the brink of despair. How exciting!

Jiang Yi thought that if Yao Yao were here, she might be able to write three volumes of storybooks and they would sell like hotcakes!
Xingyi Pavilion, the Heavenly Secrets Sword School, uses the sword as a chess piece to calculate the secrets of heaven. Its sword moves are in harmony with the stars. The most intelligent sword cultivators in the Lingxu Sword Sect are all from this pavilion, and the sect leader also came from this pavilion.

Luo Xingwen didn't say anything about the gossip surrounding this pavilion, perhaps because he was afraid to.

Blood Fiend Pavilion, a school of swordsmanship that uses battle to nurture its sword and killing to stop killing.

"The Blood Fiend Pavilion members are all lunatics. You should keep your distance when you see them. The notices outside the Internal Affairs Hall are for them to see. They've been punished so badly that they're in debt to the sect, but they still don't know how to restrain themselves. They'll start a fight if you say the wrong thing."

The Formless Pavilion, a school of chaotic swordsmanship, breaks through all forms and has no fixed shape. The pavilion only accepts geniuses who can create their own sword path.

"Wuxiang Pavilion often competes with Xingyi Pavilion for talent. The sword cultivators in the pavilions are also very intelligent. The difference is that the sword cultivators of Xingyi Pavilion are all-encompassing in their intelligence, while the sword cultivators of Wuxiang Pavilion are only focused on the sword path. In other aspects, they are sometimes so stupid that it is incomprehensible."

"Guiyi Sword Pavilion is the head of the ten sword pavilions, transcending worldly affairs, where all swords converge into one. The pavilion master is Songtao Sword Venerable. This pavilion does not accept disciples' applications; they all choose people from various sword pavilions themselves. In addition, only the champions of the Heavenly Rankings throughout the ages can join and are qualified to become the pavilion master of Guiyi Sword Pavilion."

“Sword Master Songtao has been the top of the Heavenly Ranking since the early stage of Golden Core. Now that he is in the Nascent Soul stage, his name is still at the top of the Heavenly Ranking. The second place is Sword Master Lieqiong of the Primordial Sword Sect. He was born at the wrong time and has always been second.”

"Alright, Master, I've finished introducing everything to you. In our Lingxu Sword Sect, any Master who is at the Golden Core stage must apply to join a Pavilion. Please see which Pavilion you are interested in, and I will explain the specific requirements and assessment criteria for joining."

Luo Xingwen was very enthusiastic. Jiang Yi scratched his forehead and said, "Have you forgotten about Liuyun Pavilion?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xingwen's eyes widened, he leaned back, and looked Jiang Yi up and down again.

His eyes seemed to say, "How could such a promising young Golden Core cultivator be ruined?"

"You...you really want to go to Liuyun Pavilion? That's..."

Lingxu Sword Sect is a gathering place for useless people!
Once you enter Liuyun Pavilion, you're basically ruined. Those lazybones spend all day on the mountain doing nothing, practicing swordsmanship only sporadically. When other sword pavilions provoke them, they just laugh it off.

Or they'll say, "Yes, yes, you're the strongest, you're the most powerful, I admit defeat," and then walk away with their hands in their pockets.

The worst part is that they use their swords to cut vegetables and grill meat. When they fight with others, their swords are still covered in vegetable leaves and smell strongly of garlic.

Luo Xingwen had no idea what the purpose of the Lingxu Sword Sect had in keeping this pavilion alive.

Jiang Yi slowly put her hands in her pockets, rested her elbows on the counter, and yawned sleepily after listening to Luo Xingwen talk for so long.

Luo Xingwen stared wide-eyed as Jiang Yi yawned, then suddenly changed her attitude and deftly took out a worn-out wooden sign and a storage bag from under the counter.

"Turn left from here. The place furthest from the mountain gate, with the most lush and messy trees, is where Liuyun Pavilion is located. If you smell barbecue, see someone fishing, or sleep under the trees, then you can't go wrong. The Pavilion Master of Liuyun Pavilion is too lazy to conduct an entrance examination, so just go there directly. Take care!"
