Chapter 1034: The Blood of the Qilin

At the same time, the cultivators from all sides who learned of the sword discussion list also had varying moods.Some breathed a sigh of relief, some gloated over misfortune, and some sighed with dim faces, lamenting that Taixu Gate had fallen on hard times, that the times were not favorable, and that the only opportunity could not be grasped.

Taixu Gate, Headmaster's room."Why is it specifically Shen Linshu—"The headmasters of the Three Mountains were gathered together, their expressions not very good.In the last two rounds, as long as luck was a little better and they avoided those powerful enemies, their chances of winning were still very high.But they didn't expect that their worst fears would come true.They had encountered the most troublesome opponent."The ancestors do not protect us ah—"Chongxu Headmaster sighed softly.Taia Headmaster pondered, "What do you all say, is there a possibility of winning?"Chongxu Headmaster glanced at him, "You are at least a headmaster, do you not know Shen Linshu's background?"Taia Headmaster's gaze flickered, and he remained silent.Chongxu Headmaster said in a low voice: "The four heavenly prides of Qianxue, in principle, were originally not on the same level as ordinary disciples.""Top-grade spiritual roots, top-grade cultivation methods, and the ultimate spiritual force great cycle.""The gap in cultivation talent, inheritance, and resources is truly too large.""These are already outstanding.""But the four heavenly prides of this session are actually more outrageous compared to the past—"Chongxu Headmaster's brows furrowed tightly, and he slowly said: "On their bodies—all flow, secret bloodlines—"When the word 'bloodlines' came out, the atmosphere became somewhat stifling.Chongxu Headmaster paused slightly, sighed, and continued:"Duomu family's colored phoenix pulse, Ao family's half-step industry dragon pulse, Xiao family's dust-free sword pulse, Shen family's Qilin pulse—.""In the past four heavenly prides, no, even in the entire Qianxue state boundary, for one heavenly pride disciple to awaken a talent bloodline was already considered remarkable.""But this session, there are fully four—in the past, this was an unthinkable thing.""This is also why the four great sects are so confident.""Bloodlines, this thing, the Dao Court is unwilling to show it, and the world families also have deep taboos, but it truly exists.""In this world, some people are simply born higher than others.""They are born, receiving the favor of the heavens, with bloodlines flowing within them that are different from ordinary ones, constantly awakening as their cultivation deepens—..""Even in some sense, these people may not even be considered 'people'.""These people carrying bloodlines, if they cultivate magic, then ten thousand laws break the sky; if they cultivate body techniques, then their flesh does not decay; if they cultivate sword law, then their sword heart goes through to immortality—..""These bloodline proud sons, their bodies and spiritual force, compared to ordinary cultivators, truly differ as clouds and mud, separated by a heavenly chasm.""More importantly.""On their bodies, without exception, is planted the life longevity symbol by their clan's Cave Void old ancestors.""The life longevity symbol ah, can that be an ordinary thing?""Even some great world families, direct lines of great sects, only get one such 'longevity symbol' quota every several hundred years.""To protect their lives and bless their longevity, showing cherish for these heaven-blessed talents.""Ordinary people watch the sword discussion, bustling and noisy, in the end just watching a lively scene, the inner doors and paths, fundamentally few can understand clearly.""They don't understand, how can we, as headmasters, not know?""Wanting to defeat this top heavenly pride, how easy is that?"The three headmasters were all silently speechless.The higher the status, the more secrets they knew, and the more they knew the weight of the words 'bloodlines'.But although the words were so, their hearts were still somewhat unwilling.Especially Taia Headmaster, he said:"This is an attack-defense war, Taixu Gate defends the city, Mo Hua, that child, uses array methods extremely well, perhaps—"Chongxu Headmaster shook his head, "Can only say there's a trace of possibility, but don't hold too much hope.""To say something realistic, even when you and I were building foundation, fighting against a heavenly pride like Shen Linshu, we might not have been able to win. Indeed, it's too difficult for these children—" Taixu Headmaster sighed, "Let these children do their best."Taia Headmaster also nodded, "Winning is naturally good, losing—then resign to fate—.""Ancestors don't protect, not disciples don't exert effort—"

Taixu Gate, disciples' residence.Mo Hua looked at the sword discussion list, and after pondering, also gently sighed:"Too unlucky—"In the Earth character sword discussion, he had fought against all four heavenly prides of Qianxue: Tianjian Sect's Xiao Wuchen, Longding Sect's Ao Zhan, and Wanxiao Sect's Duomu Qing. He hadn't won a single round.Now came Qianxue Sect's Shen Linshu again.This time, he had truly encountered all four heavenly prides of Qianxue.His luck was really not ordinarily bad.The sword discussion was originally not easy, and his difficulty could be called 'hell' level.It wouldn't be surprising to have this treatment in the Heaven character sword discussion.But in the Earth character sword discussion, for him to be 'assigned' these opponents was simply absurd."Could it be that the sword discussion heavenly instrument was tampered with by someone, specifically targeting me?"Mo Hua frowned and muttered.Of course, by now, considering these things was meaningless.The key was tomorrow's sword discussion.How to fight?Could he really defeat Shen Linshu?Mo Hua frowned, falling into thought.He had only met Shen Linshu once, and purely from intuition, he knew that his aptitude and cultivation were extraordinary.Fighting against Shen Linshu would certainly be extremely difficult.But this was still not the biggest problem.The biggest problem was, even if he defeated Shen Linshu, then what?After defeating Shen Linshu, he would then defeat one more, and then if his luck was good, one of the four great sects would continuously lose two rounds.Thus, Taixu Gate could barely enter the top four of the sword discussion.Then after that?What about the Heaven character sword discussion?Looking at the current promotion rate, there were few and far between disciples within Taixu Gate who could be promoted to the Heaven character bureau.The Heaven character bureau would completely become the home ground of the four great sects.Taixu Gate would inevitably struggle with every step.Every step, facing the siege of the heavenly prides of the four sects.Even if Mo Hua didn't lose a single round in the Heaven character bureau, it wouldn't help.In the Heaven character sword discussion, the weight of winning a round was too high.Taixu Gate's foundation was too different, and its top disciples were fundamentally unable to contend with the four great sects. The final ranking could not be very high.It seemed that Taixu Gate was little by little approaching the position of the 'four great sects', but the closer Taixu Gate was to the position of the 'four great sects', the further it was from Mo Hua's own goal of 'first in the sword discussion'.It was even so far that it made him feel some 'despair'.Mo Hua's brows were tightly furrowed.What he wanted was to be first in the sword discussion.Then his opponents would necessarily be all the most top heaven's proud sons in the entire Qianxue state boundary.Causal intuition told him that within this, there was still a slim chance—But looking now, the hope of entering the top four in the Earth character bureau was already quite slim.While the Heaven character bureau was even fundamentally a 'dead end'·———·Developing down in this situation, it was fundamentally impossible to have a true chance of winning.Mo Hua lay on his desk, his heart inevitably restless, even feeling a sense of helplessness.Clearly his strength was already not weak, and he had also learned quite a few good skills, but he still had a trace of the feeling of 'no way out'.Heaven's machine was obscure, causality was vague, and the future was hard to measure.A trace of bewilderment swept through Mo Hua's heart, then he took out a copper coin, placed it in his palm to rub, and murmured in his heart:"Master, how exactly can I save you———"But the copper coin was calm, without a trace of causal fluctuation.

The next day at noon, the sword discussion with Qianxue Sect began.Outside the Sword Discussion Mountain, there was still a sea of people.The number of cultivators watching the battle was so large compared to the previous sword discussion between Taixu Gate and Daluo Gate that it was 'not enough to clip'.The previous sword discussion between Taixu Gate and Daluo Gate decided whether Taixu Gate could sit firmly in the position of 'first among the eight great gates'.Today's sword discussion was related to Taixu Gate's slim possibility of being promoted to the four great sects.The significance of the two sword discussions was equally very important.The debate related to victory and defeat was also endless.Most people thought that Taixu Gate was bound to lose.A minority of cultivators thought that Taixu Gate still had a fight in them.The most core reason was that for Taixu Gate, this was a 'defend the city war'.Others' defend the city war was a disadvantage.But Taixu Gate's defend the city war was an advantage."Although Mo Hua, this boy, is annoying, but in a defend the city war, relying on his one body's array methods attainment, his role is no less than the top heavenly prides of the four great sects.""This point must be admitted.""Plus, he still has a hand in 'imperial sword'.""Got it, what does he call it 'imperial sword'?""No sword formula, no cultivation of sword qi, only imperial thing, it's a handle sword, this is also originally exploded...""What does this have to do with 'sword'?""This also qualifies as 'imperial sword'? Don't be ridiculous.""Even if it's not called 'imperial sword', but at least its power is not bad, right? That one from Daluo Gate, wasn't he killed by one sword?""That's right, that one was indeed killed by one sword.——·""Killed by one sword—·"Just because of one sword discussion, Daluo Gate's Ye Yuan, just went from being a famous Qianxue imperial sword heavenly pride to 'that one'.The crowd might not remember his name, but they clearly remembered his 'deeds'.Just being 'killed by one sword'."Therefore, in this sword discussion, Taixu Gate still has to fight.""Even if they finally lose, at least there will be a good show to watch."When the crowd heard this, they all nodded.Just in this expectation, the sword discussion began.Attack-defense war.Qianxue Sect attacked, Taixu Gate defended.The city array on the city wall had already been changed to a third-grade gold stone array by the elders of Sword Discussion Mountain, to prevent Mo Hua from blowing up the city wall again.It was also fortunate that the elders of Sword Discussion Mountain had foresight.Otherwise, Mo Hua would really have thought about blowing up the city wall again to the sky, burying Shen Linshu along with it.The only thing they didn't notice was to leave the birth gate position to the city lord statue.If the city lord statue was not destroyed, all the city walls exploded, all the people died, perishing together, then in the end, Taixu Gate would also win.Pity, the elders of Sword Discussion Mountain sealed this 'crooked way' possibility in advance.Mo Hua had no way but to come defend head-on.But very obviously, everyone, including Mo Hua himself, to a certain extent, underestimated the power of Shen Linshu, this heavenly pride son carrying the Qilin bloodline.Shen Linshu, at the peak of Building Foundation, his spiritual force was abundant like the sea, dressed in an embroidered gold and profound white dao robe, his hair pitch black, his face like jade, his eyes containing purple light, his sword vast, purple qi coming from the east, graceful like a heavenly person.Qianxue Sect's, purple qi gold scale sword formula.This was a door, a top superior sword formula that had been lost for a long time.Why was it lost, because cultivating this door's sword formula required the ancient Qilin bloodline."The Shen family, even the entire Qianxue Sect, hasn't had a heavenly pride carrying the Qilin bloodline appear for several hundred years.Therefore, this door's sword formula was also sealed for several hundred years.Until this generation of the Shen family, a Shen Linshu appeared.On the factory heaven painting shadow, all the watching cultivators also saw for the first time, the seriously making a move Shen Linshu, as well as his one body's purple qi gold scale sword law, which was 'completely different from ordinary' because of his special bloodline.Purple qi comes from the east, bloodline turns into sword.Auspicious like clouds, Qilin attaches to the body.A seemingly simple sword, purple gold sword qi surging turbulent, yet like a long rainbow piercing the sun, invincible.Ouyang Xuan was fundamentally not an opponent.Linghu Xiao's Chongxu sword qi was also unable to withstand it.Cheng Mo and Situ Jian dared not face its edge even more.The outer city gate was broken, and Taixu Gate retreated step by step, retreating to the inner city.The inner city wall was lofty, and above the city gate, supplemental spiritual force flowed, and array patterns flashed with deep supplemental level light.A full supplemental vice, supplemental row defense class, two-grade nineteen patterns supplemental level array."In the middle of the city wall, Mo Hua sat on the ground, his expression slightly solemn.In front of him, were placed a full three handles of Taia open mountain spiritual swords, used for divine sense imperial and remote sniping.One wall separated them, both sides confronting each other.One side was a top sect, a top bloodline heavenly pride, with gold scale bloodline sword law.The other side was an array dao leader, a two-grade supplemental level array, and a strange divine sense imperial sword.Everyone's hearts were all tight.They knew that this sword discussion only now truly began.Taixu Gate, for the position of the four great sects, would certainly spare no effort to fight to the death.The old grudges between Qianxue Sect and Taixu Gate would also be settled together.This was a sword discussion full of expectations.But the subsequent development was not too satisfactory.Qianxue Sect, or rather Shen Linshu, was truly too strong.In comparison, Taixu Gate just seemed 'fragile and unbearable'—"Taixu Gate's disciples were unable to withstand Shen Linshu.Mo Hua's array and 'imperial sword' were similarly difficult to achieve anything.His flying sword, controlled by divine sense, floated up from the front, and as Mo Hua pointed his finger, it broke through the air,Drawing out a dim light, it went straight for Shen Linshu's heart pulse.This style of flying sword was very fast, very accurate, and also very strong.But this was already not the first time Mo Hua had used imperial sword.His imperial sword process had already been recorded by people using mimic shadows and watched over and over again by people several times.Even some breakthrough usages were thoroughly studied by Dao Law elders and synchronously updated in the 《Against Mo Hua Rules · Imperial Sword Chapter》.Imperial sword this thing, emphasizes 'catching by surprise'.The more caught by surprise, not having time to guard, the stronger the flying sword's killing power.On the contrary, the more expectation there is, the more guard there is, the threat of long-distance 'snipe' imperial sword will be greatly reduced.Especially when facing a top heavenly pride like Shen Linshu.Mo Hua's flying sword flew halfway, and Shen Linshu detected it.Shen Linshu's expression was indifferent, he chopped out a purple gold sword qi with his long sword, intercepting Mo Hua's flying sword. The flying sword responded with a sound of explosion.But Mo Hua's flying sword, after all, was still too fast, and before it exploded, it approached within ten zhang of Shen Linshu.The flying sword exploded, the sword array self-destructed, urging the sword qi, together with the spiritual sword fragments, wrapped together, scattering towards the surroundings, swallowing Shen Linshu.After the smoke scattered, Shen Linshu was unharmed.Around him, there was spiritual force protecting his body.On his skin, there were still pale gold mysterious patterns, interwoven with each other, flashing over.Qilin bloodline body.The sword qi left after the imperial sword exploded was fundamentally unable to injure Shen Linshu in the slightest, not even breaking his body's gold scale patterns.Thereafter, Mo Hua's two times of imperial sword were similarly broken by Shen Linshu.Mo Hua's array was similarly unable to stop Shen Linshu.The two-grade nineteen patterns high-level array was indeed indestructible, but it was for Building Foundation cultivators, even general Building Foundation geniuses.Top geniuses were not on this list.Especially Shen Linshu's sword qi, under the bonus of his bloodline, actually already had power approaching 'Golden Core'.Powerful purple gold sword qi, one after another, chopped on the array Mo Hua had laid down.The array was shaking, the array patterns were dimming, and the city gate was also constantly shaking. "Shen Linshu's spiritual force was also like a vast ocean, continuous.Finally, all of Mo Hua's supplemental level arrays were all chopped rotten by Shen Linshu.The city gate responded with a sound, "break," cracking into fragments.Qianxue Sect attacked into the inner city, pointing directly at the city lord statue.Cheng Mo and the others gritted their teeth to block, but they were fundamentally not opponents of these heavenly prides of Qianxue Sect.Soon, Cheng Mo, Situ Jian, and Ouyang Xuan, then one by one, 'died'.Linghu Xiao had experienced a series of sword discussion slaughters and tempering, his sword law and mindset had already undergone transformation.Now relying on his own strength, he could already contend with Shen Linshu head-on for several swords.But even so, it was obviously still far from enough.Soon, Linghu Xiao was similarly exhausted and defeated, and was taken life by one style of purple qi gold scale sword move———·This one-sided sword discussion was very tragic.Up to here, Taixu Gate was again left with only Mo Hua.Shen Linshu, with a face like jade, slowly walked to Mo Hua's front.Mo Hua also looked at him with a calm gaze.The two finally met face to face for the first time in the sword discussion field.After experiencing successive battles, Shen Linshu was still abundant in spiritual force, with long breaths, his face had not changed even once, and his indifferent gaze contained a trace of pride overlooking everything.Until now in the sword discussion, he hadn't said a word.But at this time, facing Mo Hua alone, Shen Linshu's indifferent gaze finally couldn't bear it, and he slowly opened his mouth:"Is this your array?""Is this your imperial sword?""Is this you, Taixu Gate's inheritance?""Is this—your strength?""Just with these, you also come to the sword discussion?""Spending some small thoughts, using some side door left ways, winning some ordinary heavenly prides, makes you very happy?"Mo Hua was silent, not speaking.Shen Linshu's eyes revealed disappointment, "Forget it, playing lute to a cow—."His voice was flat, with a trace of sharpness, "Capacity not enough, is unable to stand on a high position.""The position of the four great sects is not something you, Taixu Gate, can covet.""The sword discussion assembly is also not where you should come, you should still, properly, go be your array dao leader, draw your arrays—.""Now———"Shen Linshu lifted his long sword, purple gold sword light lingered on the sword tip, pointing directly at Mo Hua's brow, "You yourself go die, or do you want to die under my sword?"Mo Hua thought for a moment, stretched out his finger, and pointed at the sword discussion jade on his forehead.In Shen Linshu's eyes, the color of disappointment was heavier."This is a very important round for you, Taixu Gate.""Your teammates are all dead.""You, to this step, are still unwilling to fight to the end? Merely to preserve a trace of face?""Are you really this afraid of death?""I truly overestimated you." In Shen Linshu's indifferent voice, there was already a trace of high and mighty contempt.Mo Hua's expression was calm, he silently suppressed the killing intent in his heart, restrained the sharpness in his eyes, lightly glanced at Shen Linshu, and after spiritual force operated, he shattered the sword discussion jade.As soon as the sword discussion jade shattered, Mo Hua was defeated and retreated from the field.Shen Linshu silently looked at the place where Mo Hua disappeared, his gaze cold and indifferent, "With a flick of his hand, he chopped the Taixu Gate's 'city lord statue', which would decide the victory or defeat, into pieces.The sword discussion bell rang, and the sword discussion ended.Taixu Gate lost.The Taixu Gate crowd watching the battle all had disappointed expressions.Zhang Lan and others also all shook their heads, some suppressing themselves.This result was actually not unexpected.Only, Taixu Gate truly losing, cutting off a trace of expectation, still made people feel bad.Among the ordinary audience, some people gloated and ridiculed Taixu Gate for being delusional and Mo Hua for being incompetent.More people, then sighed in their hearts:"This is a top heavenly pride ah—""Shen Linshu.""In the face of powerful strength, all means and tricks are meaningless. Taixu Gate losing is actually not wronged, after all, the strength gap is there.""To be honest, Taixu Gate is actually not weak, but suppressing, the opponent is too strong———·""This is the Qianxue state boundary, this is the sects' sword discussion ah—""One Shen Linshu, there are still Xiao suppressing scale, Duomu Qing, Ao Zhan——— Daluo Gate's Ye Qingfeng is actually also not bad.""Counting down, there are more geniuses———""This session's sword discussion is probably the one with the most heavenly prides in several hundred years, we are also considered to have caught up with a good time—.""Truly a great era, heavenly prides emerge ah."

The sword discussion ended.Taixu Gate's atmosphere was somewhat stifling.Losing the war with Qianxue Sect meant that they had already cut off the only possibility of being promoted to the four great sects.Even if the four great sects lost all the remaining sword discussion rounds in the next round.Taixu Gate would no longer have an opportunity.But there was nothing to complain about.Shen Linshu was too strong.Senior brother Mo Hua and the others had already done their best.In this kind of sword discussion round, whoever went up would be useless, they were basically bound to lose.Although senior brother was strong, he couldn't truly be 'omnipotent'.Letting senior brother fight Shen Linshu alone was really too much to ask, it was fundamentally impossible to win—·But after losing, the crowd's hearts gradually relaxed.Although they lost, at least Taixu Gate's current ranking was first among the eight great gates, which was already good enough.Cultivating the Dao meant knowing contentment often leads to happiness.There were only four great sects.But there was only one first among the eight great gates.This was something many sects could hope for but could not reach, even Taixu Gate, which had previously been paddling in the downstream.They would never have thought, even in a dream, that there would be a day when they could rank first among the eight great gates.Thinking this, everyone's mindset became much more peaceful.While the Earth character sword discussion still had one round remaining.This round actually no longer affected the big picture.Winning, there was no further advancement.Losing, it wasn't a big deal either.The Earth character sword discussion, actually, could be considered 'ended' here.After that, it was the Heaven character sword discussion.

Inside the disciples' residence.Mo Hua calmed down, summarized the gains and losses of the day's sword discussion, and recorded all of Shen Linshu's sword laws and bloodline abilities in a jade slip.Then, he focused on considering the matter of the 'Heaven' character sword discussion.For him, this was the most difficult test.How exactly to fight in the 'Heaven' character sword discussion?How could he possibly get first place in the sword discussion?At least currently, the opportunity seemed abnormally slim, truly as difficult as ascending to heaven.But no matter how difficult, he had to grit his teeth, brace himself, and fight them one by one.Fighting still offered an opportunity.Not fighting meant certain defeat.Mo Hua began listing his remaining trump cards in the jade slip, and some necessary means to cope with the Heaven character sword discussion.All his thoughts were placed on the subsequent 'Heaven' character sword discussion.Not only Mo Hua, but in the Qianxue state boundary, as long as there were sects with an opportunity to be promoted to the Heaven character sword discussion, they all began making subsequent preparations.The last Earth character sword discussion, because it no longer affected the situation, was basically not taken seriously by anyone.And just at this time.—·Sword Discussion Mountain, late night.On the vast pitch-black dao field, other people were not near the forbidden ground supplemental platform.The sword discussion heavenly instrument, following causality, was operating alone.The list of the last Earth character sword discussion was also being slowly deduced by it.Soon, on the heavenly instrument, light flashed, and the list of the last battle was also imprinted word by word through causal array patterns.Suddenly, the qi machine changed abruptly, and a crack appeared out of thin air in the black night.A great flower, like a poppy that one could not see clearly, bloomed in the black night.Amidst entwining chains, a bloody, purple-black evil fallen baby's hand pressed down on the sword discussion heavenly instrument.
