Pursue to Sword Summit

Chapter 14 - Sword Tower

Hearing that, Lin Mo's heart sank, it seems like the immortal sword body was really just a figment of Xiao Yaozui's imagination, it was not enough for him to believe, if that happened, he could not help but doubt his talent in sword training.

"Enough!" Xiao Yaozui roared, and glared at the few of them. "The reason why you all don't believe the immortal sword body is because you're not Sect Leaders and have yet to learn our unique audio-visual skills. In short, I am determined to take Lin Mo as my disciple! I am a Sect Leader; don't tell me you are going 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 Clan Elder Li Xiao You who had a similar aura to Xiao Yaozui stood out and said: "Sect Leader, I have always been against the right person, you should be clear about this temperament. 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're saying …" Xiao Yaozui was shocked.

Many of the Sect Leaders immediately reacted and echoed his sentiments:

"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, then he will be the direct disciple. If he can't pass, then sorry, but we can only give up on him."

"You guys!" Xiao Yaozui was both 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 after hearing that, "The Sword Mountain Pass is very dangerous, only disciples of the seventh level of the Body Tempering stage are able to enter. Lin Mo only has Body Tempering Fifth Layer, what kind of heart are you allowing 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! The Sect Leader can't be thinking of violating the rules of Immortal Sword Sect for three thousand years, right? "

"You!"

Li Xiao You also advised: "Sect Leader, whether it is for the other disciples or Lin Mo, this is the most fair rule."

Xiao Yaozui went silent, looking at the few clan elders and then looking at Lin Mo, he couldn't make up his mind at the moment.

"I agree!" Lin Mo who had been silent this entire time spoke out shockingly.

"It's not lacking, you …" Xiao Yaozui became 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 warriors from the tiny Body Tempering Fifth Layer could talk casually in front of them, without any fear.

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 challenge 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 Body Tempering? Sect Leader, there are only five years until the Myriad Sect Assembly is held. We don't have the time or energy to nurture a fellow with Body Tempering Fifth Layer to the Seventh Layer of Body Tempering! "

Seeing that Xiao Yaozui was still full of anger, Li Xiao You 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?" Xiao Yaozui sneered, "Since Elder Situ is busy with cultivation, 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 too, this way you can cultivate in peace."

Situ Jinghai's heart jumped, his eyes narrowed: "Sect Leader, are you forcing me to withdraw?"

"One month!" Seeing that the two were about to fall into a dead end, Lin Mo spoke again. Under everyone's astonished gaze, he remained calm and collected, "In a month, I will go challenge the Sword Tower. What do you think, seniors?"

"One month?"

"Alright!" Situ Jinghai looked at Xiao Yaozui who was panicking and clapped. "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, a hero is a teenager. We'll give you one month, that's settled! We will meet in Sword Tower in a month! Sect Leader, I still have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first. "

No matter how anxious Xiao Yaozui was, he could not stop Situ Jinghai from retreating.

When the other elders saw the Sect Leader's unsightly expression, they didn't dare to stay any longer and left as well. 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? The Sect Leader thinks that I have no chance of passing this stage?"

"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 the Sect Leader."

"Then I'll tell you in detail."

Xiao Yaozui explained to Lin Mo the situation in the Sword Tower in detail.

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. The disciples are respectively tested for their various abilities, such as their sword aura, sword aura, intelligence, wisdom, as well as other abilities.

Sword Tower was very mystical. After entering, one could automatically identify anyone below the Profound Opening Realm, and at every checkpoint, there would be an obstruction that was slightly stronger than the disciples who passed the trial. As for those above the Profound Opening Realm, they were automatically rejected by the Sword Tower, unable to enter. 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 stage is a sword formation that consists of 749 long swords. The sword aura it emits is slightly stronger than the sword aura emitted by those who passed the stage. 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, although I am the honorable Sect Master of the 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: "Definitely not more than ten. These people, are all extremely talented, and are all influential people in our Immortal Sword Sect, and have made quite a name for themselves. 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!
