C14 Sword tower
Hearing that, Lin Mo's heart sank, it seems like the Immortal Sword Body was really just a figment of the Xiao Yaozui, it was not enough for him to believe, with this, he could not help but suspect his own talent in sword training.
"Enough!" The Xiao Yaozui roared in anger and glared at the few of them. "You all don't believe the Immortal Sword Body's words because you are not Sect Leader and have not learnt our sect's unique audio-visual skills. In short, I am determined to take Lin Mo as my disciple! I am a member of the Sect Leader, don't tell me that you all want to strip me of my right to accept a disciple? "
"This …"
The group of elders looked at each other in dismay, at a loss for words.
After a long while, Second Elder Li Xiaoyou who had a similar aura to Xiao Yaozui stood out and said: "Sect Leader, I have always been against the right person. Since you insist on taking Lin Mo as your disciple, I have nothing to say. However, the disciples of the Sect Leader were the direct disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect. Since you are here to select a direct disciple, you should follow the rules of the Immortal Sword Sect. "
"You mean …" Xiao Yaozui was shocked.
Many Sect Leader s reacted and agreed:
"That's right, the state laws, the family rules, everything should be done according to the rules!"
"Sect Leader, it's not that we want to stop you, just let this child follow the rules. If he passes, he will be the direct disciple, and if he can't pass, sorry, we can only give up on him."
"You guys!" The Xiao Yaozui was angry and anxious.
Lin Mo was curious, he was not clear about the rules of the Immortal Sword Sect for the direct disciple selection.
"To the Sword Tower! "Challenge the Sword Pass!" Situ Jinghai said resolutely, "As long as he can pass the two trials in Sword Tower, he will have the qualifications to become a direct disciple."
Sword Tower?
Sword Pass?
Lin Mo was extremely suspicious.
"Nonsense!" Xiao Yaozui was furious when he heard that, "The Sword Pass is dangerous, disciples of the seventh stage of the Tempering Body cannot enter. Lin Mo is only at the fifth level of Tempering Body. What kind of heart do you have for him to go to such a dangerous place!? "
Situ Jinghai arrogantly said: "According to the rules, if one wants to become a direct disciple, they must pass through two trials in the Sword Tower. This is a rule that has been passed down for three thousand years in our Immortal Sword Sect! For the past three thousand years, all the direct disciples had come from the Sword Pass! Sect Leader wouldn't be thinking of violating the rules of Immortal Sword Sect for three thousand years, right? "
"You!"
Li Xiaoyou also advised: "Sect Leader, whether it is to the other disciples or to Lin Mo, this is the most fair rule."
The Xiao Yaozui became silent. He looked at the few clan elders and then looked at Lin Mo.
"I agree!" Lin Mo who had been silent this entire time spoke out shockingly.
"There's no shortage, you …" Xiao Yaozui was anxious.
Lin Mo straightened his chest, and was not afraid of the eyes of the masses. Raising his head high, he looked at them and said: "There is no rule, and it is not within a wide area. If I, Lin Mo, want to join the Immortal Sword Sect, I naturally cannot make things special. This Sword Tower, this sword gate, I have passed! "
The group of elders were all surprised. They did not expect that the young warrior at the fifth level of Tempering Body would be able to talk freely without fear in front of them, the Innate Rankers.
Just this bit of courage was worthy of praise!
"Good boy, this is what you said!" Situ Jinghai laughed loudly, "Then, in two days, you can go to Sword Tower and give it a try."
"Two days?" Xiao Yaozui's nose was crooked, "Situ Jinghai, don't go too far! Lin Mo has never even learned the sword before, and you want him to go to Rushing the Sword Tower in two days? "
Situ Jinghai laughed coldly: "Don't tell me that we have to wait until he reaches the seventh level of the Tempering Body to do so? Sect Leader, the Myriad Sects Assembly will be held in five years. We don't have the time or energy to nurture a guy at the fifth level of the Tempering Body to the seventh level of the Tempering Body! "
Seeing that the Xiao Yaozui was still full of anger, Li Xiaoyou hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "In a few years, we won't be able to wait. In a few months, we can still wait."
Situ Jinghai's eyes flashed, and he said: "To roam the Sword Tower, you must gather all of us elders as witnesses. Of the seven of us, there are many things we need to do and it's important to cultivate. I'll be free in half a month to come out and take a look, and then I'll have to cultivate in seclusion for the rest of the time. "
"Half a month?" The Xiao Yaozui sneered, "Since Elder Situ is busy cultivating, I think it's better this way. I'll request for the presence of too few elders and let them raise Elder Situ to the highest level so you can cultivate in peace."
Situ Jinghai's heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowed, "Sect Leader, are you forcing me to retreat?"
"One month!" Seeing that the two were about to get into an awkward situation, Lin Mo spoke again. Under everyone's astonished gaze, he remained calm and said, "In a month, I will go to Rushing the Sword Tower. What do you think, seniors?"
"One month?"
"Alright!" Seeing the Xiao Yaozui so anxious, Situ Jinghai clapped his hands, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. A hero comes out with a young man. We'll give you one month, that's settled! We will meet in Sword Tower in a month! Sect Leader, I still have things to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave. "
No matter how anxious the Xiao Yaozui was, it could not stop Situ Jinghai from leaving.
The other clan elders saw that the Sect Leader's expression was ugly and did not dare to stay any longer, so they also left. For a moment, only Lin Mo and Xiao Yaozui remained in the Great Assembly Hall of the Immortal Sword Sect.
Xiao Yaozui suppressed his anger, looked at Lin Mo and sighed: "You're not lacking, you're being reckless."
"What, does Sect Leader think I can't pass the trial?"
"This …." Xiao Yaozui laughed bitterly, "There's no lack of it, do you know what's going on with our Immortal Sword Sect's Sword Barrier?"
"I was just about to consult Sect Leader."
"Then I'll tell you in detail."
The Xiao Yaozui explained to Lin Mo in detail about the situation in the Sword Tower.
After that, the sword sect became more and more prosperous. In order to test and select even more outstanding disciples, the seniors of the sect, in order to gather a lot of power and to collect all kinds of mysterious things, established a pavilion in one of the secret grounds of the Immortal Sword Sect, and named it Sword Tower.
There were many obstacles set up in the Sword Tower to test the abilities of the disciples.
The Sword Tower has four levels, and each level has a sword gate. Disciples are respectively tested for their various abilities, such as Sword Qi, astral sword, or wisdom, as well as other abilities such as perception.
The Sword Tower was very mysterious. When anyone below the Reference Profound entered, they would be able to recognize them automatically, and at every checkpoint, there would be an obstruction that was slightly stronger than the disciples who passed the trial. Everyone could only enter once in a lifetime. Even if they had a high cultivation base in the future, they could only enter once in a lifetime.
Because of its mysteriousness, it has been used by the Immortal Sword Sect for the assessment and selection of its direct disciples for thousands of years.
"The first trial is a sword formation that consists of forty-nine longsword. The Sword Qi that it releases is slightly stronger than the ones who pass the trial. This was used to test whether the disciple's cultivation was profound or not. If they can pass it, it means that they are stronger than those of the same cultivation level, and can be trained as core disciples. "
"The second trial tests one's temperament. There are also some high-rank Profound Weapons that form. All sorts of scenes are unpredictable, sometimes illusory, sometimes real. They are difficult to distinguish, and can be said to be illusory formations. This test would test the will of those who passed this trial, and see whether or not their will in their Mandates was firm. As long as you can pass the second round, you can be trained as a direct disciple. "
"The third test will test a person's comprehension ability. This item is illusory and will be determined by the Sword Tower's mystical items. Once it approves of your high level of comprehension towards the Dao of the Sword, it will allow you to pass. In this trial, less than a thousand people have passed it in the past three thousand years. "
"As for the fourth stage, honestly speaking, even though I am a noble Immortal Sword Sect, I still do not know what exactly is in there. It was because I had once passed the third level, but as soon as I entered the fourth level, I was immediately ejected without the chance to see the powerful things within. In the past three thousand years, the number of people who have passed the fourth stage can be counted on one hand. "
"It can be counted on one hand?" Lin Mo was shocked.
Xiao Yaozui nodded his head: "No more than ten. These people are all extremely talented, and are all famous figures in our Immortal Sword Sect. However, in the past thousand years, no one had been able to pass the fourth trial. The last one is the person I told you about before, Senior Xiang Tian Ge who has a Immortal Sword Body. "
Lin Mo could not help but be fascinated!
