But it was said that after Su Qingqing entered the city, she first took Xiang Shen and the two to a remote place, changed into casual clothes, and then headed straight towards the sword tower.
The streets are bustling with activity, and monks can be seen setting up stalls everywhere, selling items related to sword cultivation.
"Elder brother should tell you."
Su Qingqing led the way and said: "The sword tower is a cave-like treasure that was refined by the founder specifically to teach his disciples.
Before the ancestor passed away, he built a city with this tower to attract sword cultivators from all over the world. For hundreds of thousands of years, our Sword Sect has experienced ups and downs, but Sword City has always maintained its prosperity.
Only if the spark of sword cultivation never goes out, can our Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect survive forever. "
Li Xiaoliu listened and immediately gave a thumbs up: "Master Patriarch, he is really brave!"
Xiang Shu also felt the same and nodded in agreement.
After a short conversation, the three of them came to a hexagonal square.
Xiang Shen raised his head and saw the sword tower standing in the center of the square from a distance, like a sharp sword thrust into the sky.
The bottom of the sword tower is several feet above the ground, so even from outside, you can still see that there are entrances on six sides of the sword tower. Transparent formation barriers extend from the front of the tower, dividing the square into six A distinct formation area.
The formation barriers were transparent and visible. Xiang Shu stood outside and saw that five of them were overcrowded, except for a few people in one area, and they were all wearing the uniforms of disciples of the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect. He couldn't help but frown.
The entrance to this area is obviously reserved for the disciples of the Sword Sect, but the number of people is so small. After entering, I don't know how many pairs of eyes will be watching secretly.
Thinking of this, she touched her casual clothes, and her brows suddenly relaxed.
It seemed that Fourth Senior Sister had expected this.
She waited for a moment and saw that Su Qingqing did not choose the Sword Sect disciple passage. Instead, she walked to a formation area full of monks and took out three low-grade spiritual stones and threw them into the grooves.
The next moment, the formation barrier rippled, manifesting three entrances.
"Come in quickly."
Su Qingqing called out, and Xiang Shen followed immediately. Li Xiaoliu also got into the formation without hesitation.
As soon as I entered, there was no noise as expected, but it was quite quiet.
Xiang Shen glanced briefly and immediately discovered that the space here was much wider than it actually was. Therefore, although there were many monks inside, it was not as crowded as it looked from the outside.
Li Xiaoliu also looked surprised.
"The square here is built based on the sword tower, and the method of cave heaven is also used."
Su Qingqing saw the astonishment of the two of them, and explained through a thoughtful voice: "The formation space is hundreds of times larger than the actual space, and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people practicing here at the same time."
"a few millions?"
Li Xiaoliu was speechless: "In the world of cultivation in the Patriarch's time, were there so many sword cultivators?"
"On the contrary, in the world of cultivation in ancient times, there were many popular schools, but sword cultivation was very rare."
Su Qingqing sighed softly, "But the vision of the Patriarch is not limited to the present. He built Sword City in order to carry forward the way of swordsmanship. Naturally, he hopes that there will be more and more swordsmen, so many that the sword tower cannot accommodate them. good."
Xiang Shen listened and praised softly: "The founder is selfless, has risen up for the lineage, and has left a legacy to all generations. It is indeed admirable."
In comparison, during this journey of cultivation, everything I think is for myself, so my level is lower.
But having said that, after all, she is just an ordinary person who accidentally stepped into the path of cultivation. It has been very difficult for her to practice step by step so far. How can she think about other things.
Thinking of this, he turned his thoughts away to Shu and continued walking in with Su Qingqing.
As soon as they moved around, many monks noticed their entry and looked at them one after another. But when they saw that Xiang Shu and the other two people looked familiar and were wearing ordinary casual cultivator clothes, they all looked away and stopped looking at them.
Xiang Shen sensed a few wisps of obscure spiritual consciousness surrounding him, so he didn't care and walked straight in.
Not long after, a very neat and long queue came into view.
Looking at Xiang Shu, he saw that the team was a thousand meters away, extending to the entrance of the sword tower.
On both sides of the team, there is an aisle on each side. There are many monks gathered at the end of the aisle, and there is a slight sound of talking. I don't know what they are watching.
Su Qingqing counted the time with her fingers and said: "The sword tower opens at noon every day. It's still a quarter of an hour away. Let's not rush in. Let's go and take a look at the front first."
Xiang Shen and Li Xiaoliu nodded immediately and followed Su Qingqing to the sword tower. Looking beyond the crowd, they saw a gold-lettered stone tablet standing beside the steps of the sword tower.
On the top of the stone tablet, a line of golden characters shines brightly, which is quite eye-catching.
"One sword means ten thousand lives, three hundred and fifty-three years old, fourth level and seventh level."
"This is... a ranking list?"
Xiang Shu was a little surprised and looked up at Su Qingqing.
"good."
Su Qingqing smiled slightly and said: "This is the list of the top 100 sword towers, which changes every day. Today the sword tower has not been opened yet. The man named 'One Sword of Ten Thousand Lives' should be the leader of yesterday's sword cultivation list, and he can get the sword." Tower reward."
Xiang Shen nodded slightly, and then asked: "What is the fourth and tenth level?"
"The fourth level is the sword tower difficulty, corresponding to the Nascent Soul stage."
Su Qingqing analyzed: "Being able to pass the fourth level and the seventh level means that this person can compete with the late Nascent Soul monks. To be able to practice to such a level at more than 300 years old, he should have good talent, and he is also a disciple of the sect, so he has no shortage of training resources. .”
"I see."
Li Xiaoliu looked surprised after hearing this, and then suddenly frowned: "Senior sister, isn't this person afraid of being targeted by the Pantheon?"
"Didn't you see the four words 'One sword, ten thousand lives'?"
Su Qingqing raised an eyebrow and said, "That's not your real name. There are many monks coming and going from the sword tower every day. As long as the monk himself doesn't reveal it, who knows who this person is?"
"Even so, if someone really observes carefully, they can definitely narrow down the scope."
Li Xiaoliu was reluctant and pointed to the eleventh stone tablet, "And senior sister, look, isn't there a real name below?"
"So what about his real name? With his grades, he can't even enter the pantheon."
Su Qingqing shook her head: "Even if he can wield a sword for thousands of lives, he is only on the threshold of genius, and is far from the level that would require the Pantheon to send people to kill him.
And did you know that in addition to the Pantheon of Gods here, there are also many sects recruiting elders who are specifically watching. If you can leave your name on the list, you might be able to join the sect.
There are many casual cultivators who have no way to find a way out, and this Sword City is a way out. What would you choose if it were your choice? "
Li Xiaoliu was speechless.
At this time, Xiang Shu suddenly asked: "Senior sister, as long as the results are sufficient, will this list be recorded on its own?"
"Of course not. This sword tower has a spirit. If the monk himself is not willing, the spirit of the sword tower will not force it."
"The sword tower has a spirit..."
Xiang Shu's expression condensed: "The Patriarch is gone a long time ago. This sword tower has always been ownerless?"
"It's natural."
Su Qingqing smiled proudly, "The spirit of the sword tower has accompanied the ancestor throughout his life and is loyal to him. How can he recognize anyone else as his master?"
When Su Qingqing said this, she suddenly saw a commotion in the crowd.
Xiang Shu turned his head and looked next door, and sure enough he saw everyone from the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect entering the room.
"I forgot, today is the time for Sword Sect disciples to come." Someone whispered.
"The uniforms of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Meridians Sword Sect are so uniform, it's hard to tell which one is more powerful."
"I do recognize a few people. The person walking in the front is named Liang Haoming. He is the true successor of Yuan Jianmai. I heard that his sword skills are quite powerful."
"And the one next to him is named Zhuang Teng. I heard he is the youngest true disciple of the Master Sword Lineage."
"So powerful? Then wouldn't it be hopeless to be the leader of today's sword ranking?"
"Don't worry, the true disciples of the Sword Sect usually only come here to practice. They have no shortage of training resources, and they have to be wary of the Pantheon's informants, so they rarely show up on the sword list. At most, we can compete with some ordinary disciples of the Sword Sect."
"That's good……"
When Xiang Shu heard this, the noon clock suddenly rang.
The two monks who were talking immediately stopped and leaned towards the sword tower.
She turned around and looked, and sure enough she saw that the gate of the sword tower had been opened, and the monks were filing in. The long queue suddenly shortened visibly to the naked eye.
"Senior sister, am I going in here?" Li Xiaoliu asked eagerly.
Su Qingqing was about to nod when she saw a shock in front of the sword tower door, and a young man in gray was blasted out, falling to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When the monks around him saw it, some of them suddenly looked mocking.
"Where did you come from, a bumpkin? You want to enter the sword tower without knowing the rules?"
"I'm curious about how poor this person's qualifications are, that he can be blasted out of the sword tower..."
The young man in gray clothes turned red with anger as he listened to the comments around him. He actually vomited blood again, then stood up, covered his face and left quickly.
Li Xiaoliu saw this scene and couldn't help but raise his head and ask: "Senior sister, that person just now has cultivated to the foundation building stage at a young age, so his qualifications are not bad, right?"
"It's not bad, but the sword tower is for sword cultivators after all."
Su Qingqing looked helpless: "If you don't have the talent to practice swordsmanship, no matter how qualified you are, you will be kicked out."
Li Xiaoliu suddenly said, "That's it."
"Okay, don't ask so many questions. It's your first time here, let's go in and give it a try. Especially you, little junior sister."
Su Qingqing's tone was slightly solemn, "You got this cultivation out of thin air. If you want to transform it into strength, you need to do it step by step. After entering, you will start to adapt from the first level difficulty. Do you understand?"
"clear."
Xiang Shen responded obediently.
Su Qingqing looked at Li Xiaoliu again: "I'm most at ease with my junior sister's stable temperament. But Xiaoliu, please don't choose the second level difficulty just to find a chance to break through. Although no one can die in the sword tower, if you are seriously injured If you come out, it will only delay more practice time."
Li Xiaoliu immediately laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I have my own sense of discretion."
"That's good."
Su Qingqing's expression softened slightly, "I won't explain much, you two can go ahead."
Xiang Shen and the others nodded immediately, turned around and went to line up.
The sword tower can accommodate a thousand people to break through the level at one time. Many new casual cultivators entered as quickly as they came out, and all of them were pale and seriously injured.
With such a rapid change, it soon became Xiang Shen's turn.
