”...”
”This time, 'Swordlord' and 'Little Lord' should be in the dozens of people in front of them.”
”That's not necessarily true. A lot of people only started using their strength later on!”
”...”
At the foot of the mountain, murmurs rose and fell. However, after the grand ceremony began, many Pure Yang Sword Sect cultivators subconsciously lowered their voices.
At this moment, the people standing to the left of the main road all revealed expressions of interest.
”Sovereign, who do you think will be the first to ring the ancient bell?”
Without waiting for Xi Yi's reply, he looked towards a figure on the stairs and said, ”In my opinion, it must be Tang Huan. This guy has always been able to create miracles, and his cultivation of the Essence Condensation Realm has already entered the” Heavenly Mystery Realm ”. For such a thing to happen to him, I presume that it wouldn't be a problem for him to seize the position of 'Sword Sovereign'. ”
Xi Yi could not help but burst into laughter. ”Elder Wei, you sure are confident in that kid!”
”I'm just afraid that the more confident you are, the more disappointed you will be.”
Meng Xingchun couldn't help but sneer, ”In this Hidden Sword Rite, one must rely on perception and potential. Furthermore, cultivators who use the sword as their weapon find it easier to comprehend the sword intent while Tang Huan uses his spear! This old man thinks that the one with the most hope this time should be that girl Yu Qingge. ”
”Yu Qingge? Why don't you say plum blossom? She also uses a sword, and her cultivation is even higher than Yu Qingge's! ” Wei Xuan Pavilion sneered.
”...”
Seeing the two of them bickering again, the other Great Elders turned a deaf ear and did not participate. They were already used to this kind of scene. The grudge between the two started from when they were still Pure Yang Sword Sect's disciples. Every time they didn't say a few words to each other, they would feel somewhat uncomfortable.
”Grand Elder Meng and Grand Elder Wei, don't be impatient. We'll take a look first.” Xi Yi hurriedly advised.
”Humph!”
Meng Xingchun and Wei Xuan Pavilion snorted coldly, and their gazes once again landed on the stone staircase.
Xi Yi rubbed his forehead helplessly as he turned to look in the blink of an eye as well.
He did mean for Tang Huan to obtain the position of Sword Sovereign and become the next Sect Leader, but all of this depended on Tang Huan's luck. If he could not link up with the sword intent and ancient bell, even he would not be able to force Tang Huan up. Selecting the Sword Sovereign this way was a lesson the Pure Yang Sword Sect had exchanged his blood for.
At the beginning, Pure Yang Sword Sect was always selected as the Sword Sovereign, but when the sect master met with an accident, the seven great clan elders all pushed it forward.
However, the Pure Yang Sword Sect suffered a disaster and was invaded by a large number of strong enemies. At that time, the sect master was unable to trigger the sword intent of the ”Heavenly Sword Hall”, which almost led to the sect's destruction. In the end, although Pure Yang Sword Sect had successfully survived the crisis, her losses were extremely heavy. The sect master had died, and four of the seven great elders had died.
From then on, the selection of ”Sword Sovereign” in such a manner became an iron law.
After all, if the Sect Master assigns someone to inherit the sword intent, if the successor still could not communicate with the sword intent, once disaster descends, the Pure Yang Sword Sect would be in danger of destruction. And, to trigger the sword intent of the Heavenly Sword Hall with the lives of several experts, such a price would be too heavy for the Pure Yang Sword Sect.
