Chapter 1246: The Dispute for the Sword Disciple
Chapter 1246: The Dispute for the Sword Disciple
Lu Xuan returned to his room, pondered for a moment, and decided that the time had come to spread the news.
The first person he wanted to inform was, of course, the True Sword Master who had brought him back to the Sword Sect and had shown him great favor.
As soon as the transmission talisman was sent out, a resounding dragon's roar, loud enough to pierce the clouds, echoed outside the Dongfu.
Two silver-white dragon-like figures intertwined, brimming with sword intent, and in an instant, they arrived at the entrance of the Dongfu.
The figure of the True Sword Master suddenly appeared.
"Lu Shidi, have you truly advanced to the mid-stage of the Yuan Ying realm?" he asked eagerly upon seeing Lu Xuan.
"I recently had a minor breakthrough, and I was fortunate to advance to the mid-stage of the Yuan Ying realm," Lu Xuan replied with a smile.
"Hahaha! Congratulations, Lu Shidi!" the True Sword Master laughed heartily.
Lu Xuan's breakthrough held significant importance not only for the True Sword Peak but also for the entire Dongxuan Sword Sect. With this advancement, not only had the Sword Sect gained a mid-stage Yuan Ying cultivation practitioner, but it also meant that Lu Xuan could play a more crucial role in cultivating the Sword Grass.
"Advancing to the mid-stage of the Yuan Ying realm in less than a century is an incredibly fast pace within the Sword Sect. Shidi, you've been hiding your true strength," the True Sword Master joked, feeling pleased.
"Master is giving me too much credit," Lu Xuan humbly replied.
"Shidi, you're being too modest. Many fellow disciples have been stuck at the early stages of the Yuan Ying realm after their breakthrough, making no progress at all. The fact that you've successfully advanced is already a remarkable achievement," the True Sword Master praised.
"We must celebrate properly," he said, laughing heartily.
"I'll leave all the arrangements to you, Master," Lu Xuan agreed readily.
After the True Sword Master left, fellow disciples and friends gradually arrived upon hearing the news.
"Lu Shidi, have you been secretly cultivating without telling me? How did you manage to advance to the mid-stage of the Yuan Ying realm without making a sound?" Li Xuanchen asked with a hint of jealousy as he entered the Dongfu.
When Lu Xuan first returned to the Sword Sect, he and Li Xuanchen had interacted due to their involvement in improving the Jian Hu Jian Grass.
At that time, Li Xuanchen was still at the peak of the Jie Dan realm, while Lu Xuan was already at the mid-stage of the Yuan Ying realm. Over a hundred years had passed, and the seemingly insurmountable gap between them had been effortlessly bridged by Lu Xuan.
Even with his steadfast will, Li Xuanchen struggled to accept this reality for a moment.
"Master Li, with your accumulated efforts, you'll surely break through to the late-stage of the Yuan Ying realm. As for me, I was fortunate enough to reach the mid-stage, and I'm already quite satisfied," Lu Xuan said with a light laugh.
The two entered a serene courtyard and indulged in a hearty drinking session, after which Li Xuanchen finally left, feeling content.
During this time, Mo Yuanfeng, Yuan Rong, and several other fellow disciples with good relationships came to congratulate Lu Xuan.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and it was the day when the True Sword Peak held a banquet to celebrate Lu Xuan's breakthrough.
The celebration was held at the top of the Sword Peak in a majestic hall.
"Congratulations, Lu Shixiong, on your breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Yuan Ying realm," the Yuan Ying True Lords said one by one as they arrived together, each with a disciple carrying congratulatory gifts behind them.
"Thank you, Senior Brother, please come in."
Lu Xuan maintained a constant smile, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.
Many Yuan Ying True Lords had come to congratulate him, totaling over thirty people. They were from the nine major Sword Peaks and the Sword Palace, and there was even a Sword Child sent by a Divine Transformation Ancestor to express their congratulations to Lu Xuan.
Including the True Sword Master, four of the nine Sword Masters had come, giving Lu Xuan great face. It also allowed the fellow disciples who came to celebrate to further understand Lu Xuan's status within the Sword Sect.
Additionally, the two True Transmission Sword Disciples whom he had met in Mo Yuanfeng's cave abode, He Qingping and Zhu Shan, also came to celebrate with Lu Xuan.
After the banquet ended, everyone took their leave one after another.
Mo Yuanfeng stayed behind and returned to the cave abode with Lu Xuan.
"Junior Brother Lu, I have something to discuss with you."
Mo Yuanfeng spoke with a solemn expression.
"Senior Brother, please speak."
Lu Xuan replied in a low voice.
"How much do you know about the True Transmission Sword Disciples of the Sword Sect?"
"Not much. I only have slightly more contact with Senior Brother Mo."
"However, it is said that every True Transmission Sword Disciple possesses talent that is one in a billion. They hold an extraordinary position within the Sword Sect."
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and replied.
"In a certain sense, that is indeed the case."
Mo Yuanfeng nodded slightly.
"The selection criteria for True Transmission Sword Disciples are incredibly strict, akin to climbing the heavens."
"Every True Transmission Sword Disciple can be considered a reserve Sword Master. They are also the seeds of Divine Transformation within the Sword Sect, enjoying a tilt of the Sword Sect's vast resources. They have the qualification to cultivate in the Dong Xuan realm for an extended period."
"Each Sword Peak has at least one True Transmission Sword Disciple, and even two or three in the case of powerful peaks like the Chongxu Sword Peak."
"It often takes hundreds of years, or even several hundred years, to select a True Transmission Sword Disciple. If a particular situation arises in a Sword Peak, there will be a certain period of vacancy."
"Usually, the selection takes place around the time Inner Sect Disciples reach the Infant Transformation stage. It is typically a joint decision made by the Ancestors of Divine Transformation in the sect."
"There are many selection criteria, but the most important are the cultivation talent and potential of the Inner Sect Disciples."
"Additionally, their personal strength and contributions to the Sword Sect are also considered."
Mo Yuanfeng slowly explained.
"Senior Brother Mo, by telling me all this, are you implying that I can compete for the position of a True Transmission Sword Disciple?"
Lu Xuan asked tentatively.
"Yes."
"For a Sword Peak, having one more True Transmission Sword Disciple is of great significance."
"Not only does it greatly enhance the strength of the Sword Peak, but it also provides an additional layer of protection, preventing unexpected accidents that may lead to the loss of certain legacies."
"Junior Brother Lu, your talent has greatly improved, and even within the entire Sword Sect, you can be considered among the top ranks."
"Moreover, at such a young age, you have already broken through to the middle stage of the Yuan Ying realm, and there is still great potential to be tapped."
"Most importantly, Junior Brother, you have improved the Sixth Grade Sha Sheng Zhen Yu Sword Grass, making a significant contribution to the Sword Sect. This is something we cannot compare to."
Mo Yuanfeng paused.
"If Junior Brother has the qualifications to compete for the position of a True Transmission Sword Disciple, I suggest you give it your all."
"Once selected, the benefits from the sect are immeasurable. You can freely choose divine abilities and treasures, and you can cultivate in the sect's Dong Tian for an extended period. This will greatly benefit your cultivation, and you can also have priority in obtaining various treasures within the Dong Xuan realm, including the high-grade Sword Grass Spirit Seeds that have been cultivated."
Mo Yuanfeng had known Lu Xuan for over a hundred years and naturally understood his preferences.
As expected, Lu Xuan instantly had an idea.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Mo, for informing me. If I truly have the qualifications to compete for the Sword Disciple position, I will give it my all."
He made a solemn promise.
