Below Heavenly Sword Peak, the ground was littered with scars, and the intangible sword intent wrapped around the mountain.
The mad wind howled,
Sword qi soared into the clouds,
The peak, hundreds of ters tall, had been cleaved in half, and between the two halves, one could vaguely see sword intent bursting forth. Disciples who ca to visit later could imagine the intensity of that battle.
......…
Sitting in ditation only three ters from Heavenly Sword Peak, Chu Yang circulated the cultivation techniques of Step Battle Immortal Jue, slowly harnessing the surrounding sword intent to temper himself.
Grasping the sword intent was difficult, and Chu Yang knew this well. However, through his recent enlightennt, he had vaguely touched upon so threshold.
Around Chu Yang, many other disciples also sat in ditation, either contemplating the sword intent or using it to refine themselves.
"Do you see that? That’s Brother Chu Yang,"
So disciples huddled together, pointing at Chu Yang’s silhouette and whispering among themselves.
"One day, I want to be soone like Brother Chu Yang,"
"Enough of that, he just got lucky and was taken as a personal disciple by the Sect Master. What’s so great about that?"
another disciple said, unable to hide his envy.
"Don’t be sour. He managed to defeat soone from the True Vein Realm while being in the Condensing Vein Realm. You’re still far from that level!"
......
The Heavenly Sword Sect had been bustling with activity lately, since the Sect had recruited a batch of new disciples this year.
With fresh blood pouring in, the Sect naturally brimd with vitality.
And this young man nad Chu Yang could be said to be the most talked-about person in Heavenly Sword Sect during this ti.
He passed the test in Beacon Fire City and then ca to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
As a newcor without any background, being suppressed by so of the older disciples upon arrival was common.
But this youngster nad Chu Yang didn’t choose to submit, unlike other new disciples who would swallow their pride and give their cultivation resources granted by the Sect to the older disciples.
He chose to staunchly resist to the end.
Just as everyone thought Chu Yang would succumb under the suppression of these older disciples, ultimately fall, and be forced to exit in disgrace,
after all, there had been other hard-headed newcors who had faced similar situations.
But probably no one expected this young man to rise teorically, shining bright like a cot or a brilliant firework.
When he joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, he was already at the level of Condensing Vein Realm.
Such cultivation in the outer gate, with only Spirit Vein Realm standards, was indeed extraordinary.
After he won the outer gate’s grand competition, it was only natural for him to enter the inner gate.
Many thought that after entering the inner gate, he would be disciplined, with the older disciples tempering the rookie’s edge.
Instead, he beca unbeatable within the inner gate.
Invincible among his peers, can you believe it?
His fellow Condensing Vein Realm inner gate disciples stood no chance against him; even those who were one or two minor levels above him couldn’t hold out for long.
Later on, due to his rising fa, he angered a core disciple.
And you must know, core disciples all possess True Vein Realm cultivation.
```
The core disciple challenged Chu Yang, and the two fought on the Sect Gate’s Combat Stage in front of thousands of disciples.
At the peak of the Condensing Vein Realm, he defeated the core disciple who was in the True Vein Realm.
This competition caused an uproar within the sect. It swept through the entire sect like a storm overnight, and the youth had truly made a na for himself.
In the end, even Yue Buli, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was alerted and declared that he would take him as his closed-door disciple.
......
The youth’s rise to fa also made him the object of worship in the hearts of many disciples.
Everyone was a new disciple with no background; if you can succeed, why can’t I?
There were many disciples with this mindset, as everyone had risen from the bottom and could empathize. Therefore, Chu Yang’s reputation was even greater among the lower-level disciples.
Of course, these disciples probably would never guess that the person they admired was soone who had a grandpa as a cheat.
...…
"Brother, the Sect Master is looking for you," at this mont, a disciple ca to Chu Yang’s side and woke up the still ditating youth.
"Understood," Chu Yang nodded.
After a long ti without seeing him, the youth had grown much taller, and his once immature face had gradually beco firm and mature.
The Wandering Dragon Sword hung on his back, and he wore a plain white robe. His long hair was sowhat ssy on top of his head due to not having been cut for a while.
"I’ve reached the peak of the Condensing Vein Realm. It won’t be long before I can advance to the True Vein Realm," Chu Yang stood up, thinking to himself.
Before leaving, Chu Yang took a deep look at the broken peak of Heavenly Sword Peak. Lately, the sword intent in his heart had beco clearer, as if he was only one step away from breaking through that barrier and comprehending the Sword Intent.
......
Chu Yang made his way to the mountain where Yue Buli resided. In the courtyard, Yue Buli, in a green robe, sat in a pavilion drinking tea.
"Master, you wanted to see ?" Chu Yang approached and asked.
"When you took as your master, I didn’t really have anything to give you," Yue Buli nodded, then took out a book and handed it to Chu Yang, saying, "Take it. It might be of so use to you."
Chu Yang received the book, which appeared to be a handwritten copy of a Cultivation Technique. The pages were very new, with four bold characters written on the plain white cover.
"Heavenly Gang Sword Canon!"
Seeing Chu Yang’s puzzled expression, Yue Buli explained with a smile, "This Sword Canon is left by the founder of our Heavenly Sword Sect. If you can comprehend it, you will be able to understand the Heavenly Gang Sword Intent."
"Thank you, Master," Chu Yang quickly took the Sword Canon and respectfully replied.
"To tell you the truth, in my lifeti I’ve seen many disciples with brilliant talents and extraordinary aptitudes, but what attracts most about you is that heart of Way of Inquiry," Yue Buli said with emotion, "A heart that is brave and never cowardly or hesitant."
"I will do my best," Chu Yang responded solemnly.
"I’m old now, and if nothing unexpected happens in this life, it’s very hard for to advance further. In the end, this era belongs to you young people," Yue Buli finished the tea in front of him and shook his head with a smile, "You know, our Heavenly Sword Sect is not very well-known in the Extre West Region.
Many disciples who want to join a sect first consider the True Martial Holy Sect, the Divine Sun Holy Sect, and other Immortal Gates like those.
And if not them, there are still so first-rate and second-rate sects.
The disciples who end up in our third-rate Heavenly Sword Sect are often those who have been eliminated, with aptitudes that are poor to a certain degree."
Chu Yang nodded and did not interrupt Yue Buli’s words. After all, large sects not only provide their disciples with a bigger world, but their strength also offers better protection.
"Your talent, even in those Immortal Gates of imperial rule, would certainly not sink into obscurity," Yue Buli said with a smile, "Actually, when I took you as my disciple, wasn’t it also sowhat for my own self-interest.
I wanted to tie you to the fate of our sect, hoping you won’t bla in your heart."
