#261 Forest Law
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian reached an understanding. There might be a rivalry between the peak of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
The facts proved that Duan Ling Tian's guess was correct.
Lu Qiu slowly said, “In the Seven Star Sword Sect, the outer court disciples of the six sword peaks hold a Martial Competition every year! The outer court Martial Competition was divided into two phases…. The first phase was each peak deciding on the ten strongest people.
“Ten of these people will participate in the second phase of the outer plate Martial Competition! The second stage of the outer plate Martial Competition would be a competition between the six peaks, and the 60 most outstanding outer court disciples would compete against each other!”
As he spoke up to this point, the corner of Lu Qiu's mouth curved into a bitter smile.
It had been a very long time since the outer court disciple of Megrez Peak took first place….
“Defense Competition Outer Court?” The gazes of many people shone, but some shook their heads.
“We have just entered the Seven Star Sword Sect. After we participate in the outer court Martial Competition, we will only ask for a beating.”
“We might be able to show off ourselves at the outdoor field Martial Competition in a few years.”
…
The people shaking their heads whispered to each other.
“Hmph!” Lu Qiu gave a cold snort when he heard these people's words. “All of you, listen carefully, not every outer court disciple has the qualifications to participate in the outer court Martial Competition of the Seven Star Sword Sect …. Only outer court disciples who had been in the Seven Star Sword Sect for less than three years had the qualifications to participate in it!”
In the sect for less than three years?
The few outer court disciples who had just entered the Seven Star Sword Sect did not show any agreement or disapproval when they heard what Lu Qiu said. “Even then, there was no shortage of existences at the fifth or sixth level of the Origin Core Stage among the outer court's disciples.”
“To be exact, to us, facing an existence at the fifth or sixth level of the Origin Core Stage is no different from facing an existence at the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage.”
“However, in this way, for two more years to pass, we should be able to show off our skills.”
“You're right.”
…
Of course, there were also some outer court disciples who were looking forward to the future and imagining themselves in high spirits in the outer court Martial Competition.
“Older Lu, when is the next outer court Martial Competition?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Lu Qiu and asked curiously.
He was interested in the outer court Martial Competition. As the top sect in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, the Seven Star Sword Sect should not be stingy with rewards.
Lu Qiu's face was slightly grim, but when he heard Duan Ling Tian, his expression slightly eased, then he turned to look at Duan Ling Tian. “The next outer court Martial Competition will be held six months from now.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Lu Qiu withdrew his gaze and shook his head. He originally thought that the person who asked this question to him was a person who was confident enough to participate in the outer court Martial Competition six months from now.
When he saw Duan Ling Tian's age, he dispelled this thought.
As far as he was concerned, even if his natural talent was higher, a young man who was not even 20 years old should only be a first-rate Origin Core martial artist, after all, and that young man might not even be able to break through to the second level of the Origin Core Stage six months from now.
It was simply impossible for a person like this to get good results at the outer court Martial Competition, even to the point that it was impossible for him to obtain any of the top ten spots at Megrez Peak.
“It's good to be confident, but overconfident, it's arrogance.” Huo Xin could not help but be surprised when she heard Duan Ling Tian ask this question to Lu Qiu, and now that he had recovered from his shock, she was shocked, he could not help but mock.
Duan Ling Tian had a carefree expression; it was as if he had not heard what Huo Xin had said at all.
In half a year?
At that moment, he should be able to break through to the fifth level of the Origin Core Stage.
Finally, Duan Ling Tian followed behind Lu Qiu and arrived at the stone platform on the way to Dubhe Peak.
This stone platform was much narrower and smaller, and looked crowded as more than 20 people stood together.
Behind the stone platform was a chain bridge made of chains tied together. It led to the peak of the sword in the south.
“That's Megrez Peak?” Duan Ling Tian looked at the precipitous mountain rolled by the fog and clouds in the distance, and his gaze suddenly shone.
This mountain stood there as if it had turned into a sharp sword that pierced through the sky, giving off an incomparable fierce and fast feeling, captivating one's mind.
“Come!” Lu Qiu took the lead and brought with him a group of outer court disciples to climb the chain bridge.
The chain bridge began to sway once a group of people stood on it.
“So high!”
“Yes Gods! If we fall from here, then there is not the slightest bit of us left!”
“What a load of crap! That will happen for sure!”
…
Instantly, other than Duan Ling Tian, the remaining outer court disciples who had just entered the Seven Star Sword Sect exclaimed in shock, and a small number of people had terrifying pale expressions.
“There are people who fear heights in this world?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head, and his gaze descended to the other end of the chain bridge….
“This chain bridge is supposed to be connected by experts at the Void Prying Stage or above.” Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart, and the vision before his eyes swayed. It was as if he could see the time the Seven Star Sword Sect was established and figures flying through the sky carrying iron chains in their hands….
Sure enough, the predecessors planted trees, and their descendants enjoyed the shade.
Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh emotionally.
Lu Qiu stood to the side and his gaze quickly descended upon the purple-clothed youth, and it completely froze there.
Among the 20 new outer court disciples he had brought, this purple-clothed youth was the youngest, but now when on the chain bridge, the calmest was undoubtedly this young man.
If the purple-clothed young man was originally a disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect and could be calm while walking on the chain bridge, he would not feel strange.
But this purple-clothed young man had only first come here and stepped on the chain bridge like stepping on flat ground.
After all, under this chain bridge was a bottomless abyss!
Even when he had just entered the Seven Star Sword Sect many years ago to become the outer court disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect, his heart could not help trembling as he walked on this chain bridge.
Finally, Lu Qiu could not help but stare at Duan Ling Tian and ask, “What's your name?”
This young man caused him to feel a little unable to see right through him. He had been in the Seven Star Sword Sect for many years, but it was still the first time he had such feelings towards someone who had just entered the sect.
“Older Lu, did you ask me?” Duan Ling Tian was stunned, and seeing Lu Qiu nod at him, Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly. “I Duan Ling Tian!”
“Duan Ling Tian? Ling Tian's? Your name really dominates!” [1] Lu Qiu's face emitted a rare smile.
“Older Lu, you're too good.” Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled in a way that was neither humble nor arrogant.
“Hmph!” When Huo Xin saw Lu Qiu taking the initiative to talk to Duan Ling Tian, hatred due to jealousy flashed in his eyes. Even he, who was an outer court disciple who entered the Seven Star Sword Sect two years ago, Lu Qiu had never spoken to him so kindly.
“I saw you were daydreaming when you saw the chain bridge. What do you think?” Lu Qiu looked at Duan Ling Tian and touched his beard as he asked curiously.
Duan Ling Tian's gaze once again descended onto the chain bridge when he heard Lu Qiu's question, then he smiled lightly. “Actually, it's nothing….I just thought that this bridge was at least three or four hundred meters long and must have been personally built by a group of Void Prying Stage experts. Otherwise, it will be very impossible to complete it. such a large task.”
“Pfft!” Lu Qiu did not even say anything when Huo Xin could not help but mock. “Six chain bridges of our Seven Star Sword Sect are famous in the Azure Forest Kingdom …. Who doesn't know that the six chain bridges of our Seven Star Sword Sect were completed by Void Eradication Stage experts?”
The other person looked at Duan Ling Tian as well with a slightly off-putting look.
Duan Ling Tian did not notice this and simply shook his head and smiled.
Only Lu Qiu glanced at Duan Ling Tian deeply and then asked, “You didn't know about the chain bridge of our Seven Star Sword Sect in the past?”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “Older Lu, I am not from the Kingdom of the Azure Forest Kingdom, I am just someone who comes from a kingdom under the rule of the Azure Forest Kingdom Kingdom …. Before today, I had never heard of the incredible chain bridge of the Seven Star Sword Sect.”
“If it is like this, then your observation power is rather strong.” Lu Qiu nodded, but in his heart he was shocked to the point that the waves were crashing in his heart.
This purple-clothed youth who was not even 20 years old actually came from a kingdom under the rule of the Azure Forest Kingdom?
Since when could a small kingdom have such a genius martial artist?
“Hmph! So you just hick from a small place.” The corner of Huo Xin's mouth curled up into a slight smirk, and he even more insulted Duan Ling Tian in his heart.
As far as he was concerned, what abilities could one possess from a small kingdom?
Duan Ling Tian naturally noticed Huo Xin's look of disdain, but he still maintained his carefree expression as if he was unaware of it.
Huo Xin was even more uncontrollable when she saw this, because she thought that Duan Ling Tian was like this out of fear for her.
Meanwhile, a group of people had walked over the chain bridge to arrive at Megrez Peak.
After walking off the chain bridge, what entered their eyes was a vast stone platform, and a building stood on a stone platform.
After hearing Lu Qiu's explanation, Duan Ling Tian suddenly understood. So it turned out that this was the location where the disciples of Megrez Peak usually bought and exchanged medicinal pills and spirit weapons.
Here, one could spend gold and silver to purchase medicinal pills and spirit weapons, or they could use ingredients to exchange for medicinal pills and spirit weapons.
In the northern part of the Seven Star Sword Sect, there was a vast, boundless primeval forest, and within it there were endless array of medicinal ingredients and ore deposits….
Unless a disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect was born from a wealthy family, they would all enter the primeval forest in search of materials to exchange for medicinal materials and spirit weapons for cultivation and to increase their strength.
Of course, within this ancient forest were a large number of ferocious wild beasts.
Allegedly, there were even some demon beasts deep within this forest.
So this primeval forest had also become an ordinary location where many disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect gained experience and training.
“You can all use the Peak Megrez disciple command token to receive the outer court disciple clothes.. Once you receive your clothes, each of you can find your own cultivation place throughout the entire Megrez Peak. You can all seize a location already taken by someone else, but you must not kill another!” As he finished speaking, Lu Qiu's gaze became fierce.
“We can still seize another cultivation place?”
Many new outer court disciples were stunned.
“It looks like the Seven Star Sword Sect secretly approved of the competition between sect disciples ..” Duan Ling Tian could not help but sigh emotionally in his heart. The surroundings within the Seven Star Sword Sect were similar to the laws of survival in nature, the laws of the jungle!
