Chapter 62 (1/2)

Zhou Xuanji raised his eyebrow and said, “You are already so powerful?”

He was clear about Huang Lianxin’s power. This lady had the heart for revenge, so she worked hard on her cultivation. She was already considered a mid or top tier Foundation Building Cultivator.

But she was a Sword Cultivator, after all, so she had a hard time dealing with Elemental Spells.

Of course, it could also be that she purposely gave Little Jiang Xue the advantage.

Little Jiang Xue was very proud of herself. Her chin was raised high up, her nose was almost touching the sky.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuanji almost wanted to beat her up.

This girl always liked to show off her height in front of him.

You wait!

At most, in 2 years, you will call me older brother!

Zhou Xuanji snorted coldly. He walked past her and began training on the bed.

In the next few days, Zhou Xuanji waited for the Sword Conference to start.

He heard that the construction of Sword Conference’s stage had already begun outside the Swordsman City. These few days, there were more and more people in Swordsman City. The streets outside were busy with human traffic.

He was itching to get on with the Sword Conference.

Northern Valiant Sword did not register for the Sword Conference, so he often took the time to gather information about Great Zhou’s Heaven Selection.

He heard that the Princes of each Empire would be participating in the Great Zhou’s Heaven Selection. The rare and grand occasion event could be considered an opportunity that only came around every 100 years or so.

Great Zhou’s Princes were no exceptions. They would be participating together with prodigies of each renowned sect in and out of Great Zhou.

The reason for having it at such a big scale was that Emperor Yan of Zhou had the intention to choose the Crown Prince.

Every new Emperor would bring his own favored officials along.

Great Zhou’s Heaven Selection gave each Prince an opportunity. How much they could rope in would depend on their own abilities.

All the talented participants in the Great Zhou’s Heaven Selection understood this principle.

But they were expectant rather than repugnant.

Instead of being a soldier or official Emperor Yan of Zhou, it would be better to help a certain Prince to take the throne, and be raised to power.

This day…

It was finally time to start the Sword Conference.

That morning, some Xie Sect disciples came to fetch Zhou Xuanji along with Zhou Chengxin.

The purpose of Zhou Chengxin participating in the Sword Conference was merely to find talents to nurture. If he were to join the Sword Conference, he would surely be terribly defeated. He was aware of that, so he did not find humiliation for himself.

Zhou Xuanji packed up and brought Little Jiang Xue, Northern Valiant Sword, and Huang Lianxin along.

Zhang Tianjian and his sons followed along too. This time, Zhang Tianjian was also going to participate in the Sword Conference. With his Inner Pellet cultivation, he was naturally ranked in the top 50.

After all, he was the top Sword Cultivator in the Southern Snow Kingdom.

Along the way, the streets were full of people, but the people made way for them when they saw the Xie Sect disciples.

The people pointed at Zhou Xuanji and commented on him. They were all curious.

Soon, some recognized Sword God Zhou.

“This is Sword God Zhou! Didn’t you see Northern Valiant Sword following behind him?”

“It’s really him, I saw him at the Sword Conference evaluation.”

“That is surely Sword God Zhou. In this Sword Conference, who else has a body like his?”

“It’s hard to imagine him standing up to Sword Cultivators like North Zhou Gale Sword.”

“I really want to see the awesomeness of Dual Sword Will.”

Zhou Xuanji felt rather gloomy as he heard these comments from all around him.

Sigh!

*　　I’m still too short!*

If not for the urgency of the situation, he really wanted to wait for another decade, and walk through the world with a handsome and elegant appearance.

After they left Zhang Clan’s residence, they walked for another 2 hours.

Xie Sect disciples walked slowly instead of flying straight out of the city. The purpose of this was to give exposure to the participants of the Sword Conference.

Fame and benefits were often inseparable.

Right after they walked out of the city gate, Little Jiang Xue cried out in surprise and shocked the people around her.

A vast crowd was in front of her. Countless heads of people almost covered the horizon. The scene was hugely exaggerated.

There were at least a million people.

And at the center of the crowd, there was a tall tower with 10 levels. The tower was built with only metal structures and was empty at its center, which made it rather easy for people to fall down.

The entire metal tower was more than 30 stories high.

The higher it went, the narrower it became.

And there was a vast stone stage that was hundreds of yards long and wide. No one could enter the stage except for Xie Sect disciples.
