Chapter 51: Talent Division, Legacy Battle
Editor: Atlas Studios
“Fu Chenxue, this name…”
How should he put it?
Qi Ming looked at the other party and felt that this name was a little familiar. He recalled carefully and realized that Fu Chenxue had joined the Heaven Enlightenment Sect three years ago like him.
However, Fu Chenxue’s aptitude was extremely high, and he revealed powerful talent and aptitude. Then, he was taken in as a disciple by the legacy elder of the Hidden Sword Peak, Xie Duantian. It could be said that his status had skyrocketed overnight.
This left a deep impression on Qi Ming’s predecessor.
It was still fresh in his mind.
“I can only say that my predecessor’s aptitude is too poor.”
Qi Ming pondered for a moment. He carefully recalled the memories of his previous self and completely understood the exact differentiation of the five assessments of potential. He could not help but pout and think to himself, “My predecessor actually wanted to cultivate with such potential?”
Qi Ming’s predecessor could only become a servant disciple because of his insufficient aptitude in the five tests. If not for his predecessor’s tenacious personality and a little luck, he would probably not have even passed the five tests.
Of the five potentials.
Spirit Roots were divided into: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Single-attribute spirit root was the highest, and five-attributes mixed spirit root was the lowest.
From low to high.
Physique: Mortal Body, Spirit Body, Dao Body, Immortal Body, and Sacred Body.
Comprehension: Mortal, Outstanding, Genius, Peerless, Prodigy.
Foundation: Ordinary, Extraordinary, Crystal, Hidden Dragon, and True Dragon.
Providence: One Color, Two Colors, Three Colors, Four Colors, and Five Colors.
Each classification was divided into five grades.
As for Qi Ming’s five potentials.
His spirit root was a five-elemental mixed spirit root, the physique was a mortal body, the comprehension was mortal, and the foundation was ordinary. Only his providence was not bad and had reached the three colors.
This was also the lowest standard for the Heaven Enlightenment Sect to take in servant disciples.
Among the five aptitude tests, one could become a servant disciple if a category reached the third level. However, the prerequisite was that one had to pass the five tests and come to Heaven Enlightenment City.
The lowest criteria for outer sect disciples was that three categories had to reach the third level, with the spirit root being one of them.
The lowest criteria for legacy disciples was that all five of their aptitude had to reach the third level, and one had to reach the fourth level.
“Qi Ming!”
Clang!
Suddenly, Fu Chenxue’s gaze landed on Qi Ming and a sword cry sounded. In Fu Chenxue’s eyes, there was an extremely powerful sword intent.
“This is…”
Qi Ming’s expression did not change.
However, he felt a faint pressure.
Vaguely, there seemed to be an invisible pressure around him.
“It’s about to begin.”
“The legacy battle.”
“Although legacy disciples are not allowed to fight in the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly, every time the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly begins, the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks will undergo a battle. Moreover, this is not a battle of cultivation and combat strength, but a competition of Dao among legacy disciples.”
“Of course, this is also a benign competition, so the sect has never stopped it.”
“Fu Chenxue has indeed chosen a good opponent. The legacy disciple of the Green Cloud Peak, Qi Ming, has only been a legacy disciple for about a month, while Fu Chenxue only became a legacy disciple of the Hidden Sword Peak three years ago. The legacy disciples of the other ten peaks are even more different. They have been here for at least six years, or ten to twenty years at max.”
“Fu Chenxue wants to defeat Qi Ming and establish his prestige. He wants to use Qi Ming as a stepping stone!”
“Fu Chenxue’s thoughts and actions are already a sign of his lack of confidence.”
“…”
The elders of the twelve peaks discussed.
“Hidden Sword Peak.”
Lü Qingyan’s gaze turned cold. Her cold gaze landed on the ship of the Hidden Sword Peak. The inner sect elder in the lead of the Hidden Sword Peak was a white-haired elder holding a horsetail whisk. He was unmoved by Lü Qingyan’s gaze.
“Elder Lü.”
The inner sect elder of the Hidden Sword Peak, Bai Zhongjun, who was also the white-haired elder, was unmoved as he said, “A legacy battle is only an exchange between the younger generation. Why are you angry?”
“Hmph!” Lu Qingyan snorted coldly, “If not for the fact that he became a legacy disciple too late, the legacy disciples of your eleven peaks combined would not be enough to fight my junior brother.”
“Er…” Qi Ming’s expression changed slightly. He looked at Lü Qingyan suspiciously. ‘Senior Sister, Senior Sister, you can’t say that. Why do I feel that you’re drawing hatred for me?!’
What did she mean by saying that the legacy disciples of the eleven peaks combined were not enough to defeat him?
Listen to this!
What arrogant words were these?
‘I didn’t say that!’
‘It has nothing to do with me.’
‘Go find my senior sister!’
‘Find my senior sister!’
‘Did you hear that?’
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!!!
As soon as Lü Qingyan finished speaking, the other ten legacy disciples’ gazes involuntarily landed on Qi Ming, multiplying the pressure on him.
Qi Ming immediately became the center of attention.
So helpless…
Qi Ming felt so helpless.
“What arrogance.”
Fu Chenxue’s gaze darkened as he shouted, “Qi Ming, let me see your Dao.”
“Hidden Sword Scripture!”
As soon as he finished speaking…
Fu Chenxue circulated the Hidden Sword Scripture. A pitch-black Foundation Establishment Dharma Idol with a scabbard appeared behind him. It could be said to be a Foundation Establishment phenomenon or the manifestation of Fu Chenxue’s Dao.
Hidden Sword Scripture, the legacy cultivation method of the Hidden Sword Peak, was profound and deep. It was a form of manifestation of the Sword Dao. Cultivating the Hidden Sword Scripture required one to possess the foundation of a Hidden Dragon.
Coincidentally…
Fu Chenxue’s fourth level aptitude was the Hidden Dragon foundation, his Spirit Root had the three elements of Metal, Earth and Fire, his comprehension was Genius, his providence had three colors, and his physique was the Heavenly Sword Dao Body.
In addition, Fu Chenxue had cultivated in the Hidden Sword Peak for three years. His cultivation level had already reached the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
His Dao transformed into an invisible pressure that surged towards Qi Ming. This competition of Dao seemed invisible, but it could be traced.
Now, Qi Ming felt the deepest sensation.
It was because Qi Ming was currently enduring Fu Chenxue’s Dao. His Dao was the Sword Dao, and it was the Hidden Sword Dao. By hiding a magic sword, he could strike and kill his opponent in one move.
There was a saying: Ten years of sharpening a sword, a slash to slay the enemy.
“You dare to compete with me in the Sword Dao?”
Qi Ming took a deep breath and looked straight at Fu Chenxue. Since he was already standing at the peak of the storm, Qi Ming had nothing to be afraid of. Sword cultivators could not easily lower their heads. They could not easily lower their heads on the path of cultivation, “You’re trying to show off in front of an expert.”
“You’re overestimating yourself.”
Clang! Clang! Clang!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit energy around Qi Ming shook. The Chaos Green Lotus Dao Foundation in his body made a slight choice. The flower petal that represented the five elements sword intent trembled slightly.
Then, the five magic swords also let out sword cries.
“Five Elements Sword Dao.” Qi Ming shouted softly.
Five-colored (black, white, green, red, and yellow) sword lights directly rushed out from behind him. The power of the Five Elements Sword Dao was completely released.
Bang bang bang!!!
Qi Ming and Fu Chenxue’s eyes met. In the space between them, the sound of air exploding sounded, and then a bang.
Pew!!!
The Hidden Sword phenomenon behind Fu Chenxue disappeared. He spat out blood and staggered back. Disbelief appeared on his pale face.
“You…” Fu Chenxue was shocked.
“What!?”
“This is the Five Elements Sword Dao.”
“Fu Chenxue actually lost.”
“How is this possible?”
In the surroundings, all the elders present were shocked. They did not expect the development of the matter to completely exceed their expectations. Fu Chenxue, who had been a legacy disciple for three years, had actually lost to Qi Ming, who had only been a legacy disciple for a month.
If they did not see it with their own eyes, everyone present would not believe it.
“Junior Brother.” Lü Qingyan was surprised and delighted.
“What an amazing Five Elements Sword Dao.”
Boom!
Suddenly, another legacy disciple’s voice sounded. He was from the Nine Extreme Peak. He held the Nine Extreme Assembly Decree and shouted, “Nine Extreme Peak’s legacy disciple, Zhou Kangwen.”
“I have come to challenge Junior Brother Qi’s Five Elements Sword Dao!”
Buzz! Buzz!
The decree tore through the air and transformed into a Nine Extreme phenomenon that evolved into the Nine Heavens in midair.
Nine Extremes.
Nine Heavens!
Crack! Crack!
Zhou Kangwen directly displayed his Dao. His Dao was the Nine Heavens Dao. This was the derivation of the Dao of Space that formed the Nine Heavens.
