In the city.
Several monks carrying long swords hurried towards the city.
Wang Yu stopped one of them and asked, "Why is this fellow Taoist walking in such a hurry?"
The sword cultivator in blue, named Qin Fei, looked at Wang Yu from top to bottom, "Are you new here?"
"Yeah." Wang Yu nodded, "I don't know much about the situation in the city."
Qin Fei said: "Kong Yuanze, the genius of swordsmanship, is coming to challenge the Sword Enlightenment Temple!"
"This time he wants to challenge the fifth floor!"
"We are all here to watch the battle!"
"If you go late, the competition may be over..."
"Is challenging the Sword Enlightenment Temple worthy of so many people's attention?" Wang Yu was slightly stunned.
It seems that Kong Yuanze still has some strength.
"Of course." Qin Fei nodded heavily, "The fifth level of the Sword Enlightenment Temple has been challenged by no one for many years..."
"This Kong Yuanze is the only one who has hope!"
"It seems... there haven't been any strong swordsmen in recent years..." Wang Yu sighed.
"What do you know?" Qin Fei had a look of displeasure in his eyes, "Don't think that just because you have some swordsmanship, you can walk away here!"
"In this Xuangu Sword Realm, no matter how powerful the genius is, he cannot easily pass the fifth level!"
The Temple of Sword Enlightenment is divided into ten floors.
With each level you improve, the speed of mastering sword skills becomes faster.
Only people within the realm of silence are eligible to challenge in the Temple of Sword Enlightenment.
Beyond this level, you are not qualified.
With this state, it is difficult to pass the fifth level.
Qin Fei glared at Wang Yu and left directly.
In his opinion, this is a person who knows nothing about heaven and earth.
Once you hit the wall in the Ancient Sword Temple, you will know how difficult this temple is to challenge.
Wang Yu followed behind and walked towards the temple.
He also wanted to see how strong Kong Yuanze was.
In the middle of the ancient city, there is a magnificent hall. There is a stone sculpture of a big sword inserted at the door, and wisps of sword energy rise up.
Many people gathered in the square outside the hall and looked into the gate.
At this time, the door was open, with a transparent light curtain above it.
There are two figures inside, facing each other in the air.
The crowd was buzzing.
"Kong Yuanze has stayed in the peak realm of Kongji for ten years and practiced swordsmanship hard. He should have the strength to defeat the guardian of the fifth floor, right?"
"It should be almost done!"
"Last time, Kong Yuanze was only a little bit close to defeating the fifth-level guardian... If I go back and practice swordsmanship for half a year, I'm sure I'll be successful!"
“It’s really exciting!”
The competition was held in the main hall, and through the transparent light curtain, you could see some of the competition.
In the main hall.
Kong Yuanze held the long sword provided in the temple and displayed sharp swordsmanship.
"Red Fire Sword Technique!"
A ray of fire enveloped the sword, and sharp sword flowers danced towards the guardian.
The fire was so strong that it illuminated the entire hall.
The spectators outside exclaimed in surprise after seeing this sword technique.
"Oh my god! Kong Yuanze has practiced the red fire sword technique to the level of perfection!"
"This set of swordsmanship is of the heavenly level. To be able to practice it to the level of perfection at this age is truly a genius!"
"This swordsmanship is too strong!"
"I haven't even reached the level of proficiency in earth-level swordsmanship..."
The higher the level of swordsmanship, the more difficult it is to practice.
Especially for heaven-level swordsmanship, it takes many years to practice to the level of proficiency.
In this Sword Enlightenment Temple, the highest challenging state is emptiness.
Many people cannot stay in this realm for too long before they break through to the next realm.
In the main hall.
The guardian used a powerful sword technique, but was still swallowed by the flames.
Kong Yuanze fought with the guardian for several more rounds, and defeated the opponent with a slight advantage.
The people nearby were all boiling.
"Awesome!"
"sharp!"
"Haha... someone finally passed the fifth floor! I will make Kong Yuanze my target from now on!"
"I really hope that one day I can pass the fifth floor!"
Over the years, many people have stayed at the fourth level and have never been able to break through the fifth level, which makes these people feel depressed and feel that the fifth level is an insurmountable threshold.
Now that someone has finally passed it, these people have a new goal in mind.
Wang Yu stood in the square and raised his eyebrows.
"The guardian of the fifth floor, is this powerful?"
There was a person next to him, it was the Qin Fei he met just now.
Qin Fei saw some displeasure on his face and said coldly: "What do you know, kid? If you have the ability, you can defeat the guardian of the fifth floor. Don't stand and talk without hurting your back!"
"I will go." Wang Yu nodded and walked towards the entrance of the hall.
"You can only tell big words!" Qin Fei felt that Wang Yu would not be able to pass such a difficult level.
The person in front of me is only in the Cave Mystic Realm. When he uses his sword technique, his power will be much different.
It is estimated that if you enter the temple challenge, you can pass the second level if you fight to the death.
Near the square, there is a ten-foot-tall stone tablet with several large characters engraved on the top.
'Temple Sword List! '
There are one hundred names engraved below, recording the strongest challengers in the past ten thousand years.
If you can create history, your name can stay on the list for tens of thousands of years and be admired by future generations.
Wang Yu stopped in front of the stone tablet and looked up.
'First place, Chen Yuanjian! Eight floors! The peak of emptiness! '
'Second place, Ma Yingcai! Seven floors! The peak of emptiness! '
'Third place, Song Mengyu! Seven floors! The peak of emptiness! '
'Fourth place, Wang Yijian! Seven floors! The peak of emptiness! '
'the fifth place...'
When he saw the fourth place, Wang Yu seemed to have discovered a new world.
"It's the Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Swords!"
The name of the Immortal Ancestor is Wang Yijian.
With his swordsmanship qualifications, he could pass the eighty-eighth level on the Ancient Sword Ranking. It would not be a big problem to reach the seventh level here.
Therefore, this Wang Yijian should be the Immortal Ancestor, not someone with the same name.
Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"With the swordsmanship qualifications of the Immortal Ancestor, he can only climb to the seventh level..."
"It seems that this Sword Enlightenment Temple is really not a simple place..."
The Temple Sword List records the names of all the people who have been on the list for thousands of years.
If it exceeds ten thousand years, the name will disappear and be replaced by descendants.
Wang Yu said with some emotion: "In ancient times, maybe someone could pass the ninth floor..."
"In the past ten thousand years, the highest one has only been eight floors..."
"In the past few decades, it has become rare to even pass through the fifth floor..."
"People with swordsmanship qualifications are really inferior to each other..."
As humans multiply, the power of blood in the body will become weaker and weaker, and the chance of top-level qualifications will be greatly reduced.
Kong Yuanze walked out of the temple.
Standing on the steps, holding his head high like a victor, enjoying the admiration of the crowd around him.
"My hard training over the past few years has indeed paid off!"
"Today, I finally passed the fifth floor!"
