Chapter 317: Untouchables in the Lower Realm
"I just didn't expect you to find this cliff very quickly."
The other party's words made Zhong Lingxi panic. She didn't expect that her identity would be exposed so soon, but what does her identity as an outsider have to do with this cliff?
"For hundreds of years, countless outstanding geniuses have gathered here, hoping to understand the art of swordsmanship from this magnificent sword energy." The man in the rich uniform continued, "It is a pity that in the past five hundred years, few people have been able to understand the true meaning of sword energy. There are very few of them. Even among the relegated lineage of the original Emperor of Heaven, only one person has cultivated the three-point artistic conception. You pariahs from the outside world also dare to dream of cultivating here. How ridiculous!"
The words of the man in fine clothes just answered Zhong Lingxi's doubts. This sword energy may really be left by senior Gu Ziyu, but the senior himself is probably not in this world.
The two magic weapons left by Gu Ziyu seemed to have thought of this step after hearing the news. Zhong Lingxi felt that there was a sad aura in the Nanfeng Sword, while the Xizhou Sword rose into the air on its own, flew over the cliff, and came to Yi Xifeng again.
Zhong Lingxi sensed that the sword energy here was generating huge fluctuations, and fierce winds came from Xizhou Jianjian. The gravel rolled around, the clouds billowed, and there was a faint sound of rolling thunder in his ears.
This incident shocked everyone present.
"This sword can actually mobilize the sword energy here?" The man in rich clothes looked at Xizhou Sword, his eyes widened. This was the first time since his appearance that he had lost his composure.
Nanfeng Jian sent a message to Zhong Lingxi: "Xizhou is channeling sword energy to help Yi Xifeng understand the way of swordsmanship."
"So you're comprehending the art of swordsmanship?" Zhong Lingxi murmured secretly.
Her voice was very low, and the wind on the cliff was so loud that ordinary people couldn't hear it even if they were standing next to her. But the man in rich clothes obviously heard her words clearly, and he sneered: "A mere pariah from the outside world also wants to learn the way of swordsmanship here?! However, the sword energy is active at this time, which is also a good time to learn the way of swordsmanship." He said to the people around him, "You protect me." Then he sat down cross-legged again and started practicing.
The sword energy on the cliff changed at this moment. But he saw the sword energy all over the sky gathering together and forming a giant sword. The sword wandered among the cliffs, flying up and down, evolving sword moves one after another.
"Look at that sword! Protect the young master!" The guard of the handsome man pointed at the sword energy on the cliff and shouted.
But after seeing clearly that it was a sword condensed with sword energy, they felt a little guilty and their legs were trembling faintly.
At the same time, nine more cultivators walked out between the rocks and vegetation on both sides of the cliff. They looked up at the sky full of sword energy, their faces full of doubts.
"I have been practicing here for more than ten years and have never seen such movement. Is this good or bad?" a middle-aged man asked the person on the other side of the cliff.
An old woman on the other side of the cliff, hunched over, said with a hoarse voice: "Not just you, I'm afraid all the fellow practitioners here don't know what happened. But looking at the sword energy flowing between the cliffs, it seems It’s a great opportunity.”
As soon as the old woman finished speaking, five extremely powerful auras flew up from the mountains. These breaths turned into streams of light and flew towards the cliff. Wherever they passed, the flowing clouds seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade. After they reached the cliff, a sound like rolling thunder followed them.
Zhong Lingxi knew that it was the sound that pierced the air when the speed reached its extreme.
"It's actually them!" Nanfeng Jian's voice contained a hint of shock and worry.
"Who are they?" Zhong Lingxi asked.
"These should all be Venerable Poxu who are practicing in the mountains!" Nanfeng Sword Spirit said, "I saw one of them when I was exploring the eastern mountains. When I flew by him, he had already sunk. Extremely deep meditation. Unexpectedly, the strange movement of the Cliff Sword Qi actually led him directly here."
Zhong Lingxi looked towards the five venerables in the sky and saw them looking at Manshan Sword Qi, their eyes full of surprise.
"Hahahaha!" One of the tall and bearded venerables laughed, "This is a once-in-a-century, once-in-a-thousand-year event! According to what I heard, the last time such a change occurred on this cliff, two strong swordsmen were born. "Fellow Taoists, we are gathered here today, so we must not let future generations down!"
"I, Duan, have been practicing hard here for more than eighty years, and I will take this opportunity today!" A middle-aged man with a clear face and sword-like eyebrows landed on the nearby mountain peak, facing the cliff-man sword. Qi sank into cultivation again.
"You guy! You're still so impatient!" Upon seeing this, the other five people looked around the mountain and prepared to practice.
At this time, the six guards and nine practitioners on the cliff finally determined the identities of the five people in the sky. They all raised their hands and saluted: "Greetings to all the venerables!"
The venerables glanced downwards and said nothing. One of the venerable men with a round figure stretched his neck forward when he saw the man in rich clothes sitting in the center, and said in surprise: "This young master actually came to the cliff!"
The other four people followed his gaze and were all stunned. A strong white-haired old man said: "I have always heard that this young master looks down on the cliff the most, claiming that practicing on the cliff is nothing more than living and drinking, and does not help one's personal strength. I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to see him on the cliff. He is a rare visitor."
A little man with half an eye covered noticed Yi Xifeng. He touched his chin and said, "What is the origin of this kid next to him? The sword in front of him looks quite extraordinary."
They finally noticed Yi Xifeng, and Zhong Lingxi's heart skipped a beat. There were five venerables and more than ten knights at the scene. Once they had malicious intentions, she and Yi Xifeng would not be able to leave here at all.
Zhong Lingxi held the Nanfeng Sword at her waist and walked to Yi Xifeng's side. Then she turned around, with her back to Yi Xifeng, and faced the more than twenty cultivators in the sky and the earth alone.
"Interesting." The round-figured venerable looked at Zhong Lingxi with his small eyes, directly revealing her identity. "On this cliff, someone from the outside actually came."
The other three venerables followed his gaze and looked at Zhong Lingxi. After seeing clearly, they all had arrogant looks on their faces. The venerable half-blinded man said with his hands behind his back: "The untouchables from the outside world want to come to my inner world to learn the supreme swordsmanship. It's good to have this intention, but I'm afraid they don't have the ability."
Zhong Lingxi looked at them calmly. Although he didn't say a word on his face, he was extremely concerned in his heart: Why do they always call outsiders "untouchables" in their mouths? Could it be that there are secrets in this secret realm that outsiders don’t know about?
