After the eighth person stepped down from the stage, a graceful figure walked up.
It was a beautiful woman in a white robe. Her figure was hot and seductive, but her expression was cold, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.
The woman muttered something, and her two hands formed a seal in front of her.
Traces of white light were emitted from her body like flowing water, and condensed into a white ball of light that was like a full moon. It spun and emitted a soft sizzling sound.
In the next moment, the woman in a white robe's hand seal suddenly changed, and the white ball of light around her split into three. At the same time, it flashed and disappeared into the three stone swords.
The onlookers were shocked when they saw this, and their eyes shone with curiosity. They wanted to see if the woman could successfully activate the three swords in one go.
The woman in a white robe's body emitted a white light, and she quickly muttered something. Her two hands formed a seal at lightning speed.
Buzz!
A white halo appeared on each of the three stone swords, and it wrapped around the swords. Then, it suddenly rose up.
The three stone swords trembled at the same time, and resonated with each other, as if they were going to fly together.
But then, the patterns on the surface of the stone sword shone with a black light. The black light was like a sharp sword, and it fiercely pierced the white halo around the sword.
The white halo flashed wildly, but it withstood the attack.
The three stone swords trembled again, and suddenly, they slowly flew up.
The crowd was slightly quiet, and then many people exclaimed in surprise.
Finally, there was someone who could control three stone swords!
Han Li was also a little surprised.
He remembered that this woman was also an Elder who was a Loose Cultivator. Therefore, the people who exclaimed were all Loose Cultivator Elders. Compared to her, the native Elders did not look too good.
This kind of feeling was like being suppressed by the other party's aura.
The woman in a white robe controlling three stone swords was obviously her limit, but she did not give up trying to control the fourth stone sword.
In the end, when a ball of white light entered the fourth stone sword, the patterns on the four stone swords resonated again. The black light suddenly became twice as bright, and this time, it easily tore the white halo on the stone sword.
"Three stone swords!" Xiong Shan nodded lightly.
The woman heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the side.
The test continued. With the example of the white-robed woman driving the three stone swords, the rest of the people seemed to have been enlightened. Their performance actually became better and better. Out of more than ten people, three people consecutively drove three stone swords. Among them, one was a Loose Cultivator Elder, while the other two were on the side of the local Elders of the sect.
Although it seemed to be a test of swords, both sides were faintly competing with each other. However, because Xiong Shan was present, no one dared to make too much noise. At most, they only let out a few soft sighs of admiration.
However, from the looks of it now, the two sides could be considered to be tied.
Even though Xiong Shan was well aware of this, he was obviously not interested in which side won.
Qi Liang suddenly thought of something. He closed his eyes as if he had comprehended something.
After a while, his eyes suddenly opened, revealing a trace of excitement.
After observing for so long, coupled with Han Li's seemingly inadvertent pointers, he was already confident that he could use the three stone swords.
"With only three stone swords, I'm afraid it's not foolproof. Brother Qi still needs to go one step further in order to be sure of victory." Han Li looked deeply at Qi Liang and transmitted his voice.
"How could I not know that? It's just that the four stone swords are too difficult. With my cultivation in swordsmanship, even if I practice hard for a thousand years, I may not be able to use them." Qi Liang was shocked and replied with a wry smile.
"You don't really have to use them. You just need to use some skill and perform better than the other people who can use the three swords …" Han Li's lips moved slightly, and he mentioned a few key points to control the four swords.
Qi Liang's eyes lit up, and then he fell into deep thought again.
When the two of them were communicating, most of the elders had already participated in the test. There were already seven people who could control the three stone swords. Among them, four were local Elders, and only three were Loose Cultivator Elders.
On the side of the native elders, there was a faint feeling of elation, and they looked at the other side with a bit of contempt. Naturally, the expressions on the side of the rogue cultivator elders were not very good.
Unfortunately, there was still no one who could control the four stone swords.
"Deputy Path Master Xiong's set of Inverse Yuan Stone Swords is really mysterious. I'll also give it a try. Deputy Path Master, please give me a pointer or two." Zhu Feng suddenly walked out and bowed to Xiong Shan.
"This Inverse Yuan Stone Sword is not my creation. It's a special magic treasure used by the famous Lifeless Sword Sect in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm to test the cultivation of the sect's Sword Principle. After I obtained it by chance, it took me a lot of effort to refine it.
It's said that only when the comprehension of Sword Principle reaches the peak, there is a hope of reaching the Ten Swords Realm.
Your Sword Principle cultivation is not bad. Try to see if you can break through the Four Swords Realm. "Xiong Shan faced Zhu Feng, and his attitude was obviously different.
"Yes.
Zhu Feng will show my incompetence. "Zhu Feng said respectfully.
But when Han Li heard the two words "Lifeless Sword Sect", he could not help but be slightly moved.
He had seen the introduction of this sect in an ancient book. It was a very ancient sword cultivation sect. They believed in using the sword to break all kinds of techniques, using offense as defense, and with a sword in hand, not even ghosts and gods would be left alive.
What was special was that it was said that there were very few people in this sect. At most, there would not be more than ten people, which seemed very mysterious.
But the reason why this sect was so famous was mainly because the sect master, Lifeless Taoist, had once galloped in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm alone with a sword, leaving behind many undefeated legends.
But a million years ago, this sect suddenly disappeared completely for some reason, and now it had completely disappeared.
While thinking, Zhu Feng had already entered the field and started to cast a spell. But his whole body shone with blue light, and he did not move at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless blue filaments flew out from his body, and there seemed to be thousands of them.
Waves of blue light rippled toward the surroundings, and an extremely sharp sword intent suddenly burst out, covering the entire main peak of the Heavenly Sword Peak.
Everyone present immediately felt as if their bodies were being pierced and cut by thousands of small knives, and bursts of icy coldness penetrated the deepest part of their hearts.
This bit of sword intent was naturally like a spring breeze to Han Li, but Qi Liang, who was next to him, shuddered and woke up, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
The few words that Han Li had given him had vaguely pushed aside some of the fog in his sword cultivation. He was at a critical moment of comprehension, but he was interrupted.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Qi Liang snorted softly, concealed the anger in his eyes, and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
Zhu Feng made a hand seal, and thousands of blue filaments immediately flew out, entangling directly on the three stone swords, and sinking into them.
Rumble!
The three stone swords trembled and slowly floated up.
Bright black light burst out from the stone swords, trying to break free from the blue filaments, but the blue filaments were extremely tough. Although they trembled under the impact of the black light, they were still taut.
Although Zhu Feng's expression was solemn, he did not look tired at all. He opened his mouth.
Another blue filament flew out, entangling on the fourth stone sword.
Buzz!
The four stone swords shone with black light, and streaks of black sword qi appeared, slashing fiercely at the blue filaments. Bang!
Bang! Bang!
More than half of the blue sword filaments were immediately severed. Zhu Feng's face suddenly paled, and he grunted.
These filaments were not ordinary sword filaments, but formed from his natal essence qi and the power of his spirit. Now that they were severed, his spirit was already injured.
Although more than half of the blue filaments were severed, there was still a portion that stubbornly remained.
Zhu Feng's eyes shone sharply, and he shouted.
The remaining blue filaments shone brightly, pulling on the fourth stone sword.
Boom!
There was an explosion of invisible thunder, and the fourth stone sword left the ground and floated in mid-air.
In the next moment, streaks of even sharper black sword qi appeared, easily severing the remaining blue filaments.
Zhu Feng's face paled again, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, but a hint of excitement flashed through his expression.
Although it was only for a moment, he had indeed controlled four stone swords.
"With every additional strike of the Origin Reversing Stone Sword, the difficulty immediately increases tenfold. Although it's barely, you've reached the realm of four swords.
Judging from the time you've cultivated, it's already very good. "Xiong Shan nodded with a satisfied expression.
"Thank you for your praise, Vice Sect Master Xiong." Zhu Feng's face lit up, and he clasped his hands in thanks.
"Continue, next person." Xiong Shan waved his hand and raised his voice.
Zhu Feng retreated, took out a pill, and swallowed it. His pale face quickly recovered.
As soon as he retreated, the local elders immediately surrounded him, and all sorts of praises surged over like a tide.
On the contrary, the expressions of the lone cultivator elders became even uglier, and their auras were already greatly inferior to before.
The test continued, and there were less than ten people left. However, after observing and analyzing for a long time, they did gain some insights. Very soon, another three people achieved three swords. Two of them actually belonged to the lone cultivator elders' side.
In this way, there were five people on both sides who achieved three swords. However, on the local elder's side, Zhu Feng achieved four swords, and his aura firmly suppressed the other party.
Qi Liang's expression darkened slightly. If he wanted to be selected, he had to perform a little more on three swords to have hope.
"Brother Qi, I'll go and try first." At this moment, Han Li's voice came from the side.
"With Brother Li's skills, this small test will naturally not be a problem.
If it's possible, please challenge four swords and let the sect elders see how powerful we lone cultivator elders are! "Qi Liang replied telepathically.
"I'll try my best." The corner of Han Li's mouth twitched, and he said.
Then, he took a deep breath and walked up to the stone sword as if he was full of energy.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind. The reason why he had observed until now was not because he was worried that he would not be able to control more swords. Instead, he was worried that if he controlled too many swords, it would be too eye-catching.
Especially in front of the Vice Sect Master Xiong Shan, who was at the peak of the True Immortal Realm, he had to be careful and not want to be in the limelight.
When Xiong Shan saw Han Li, he was slightly stunned, but he seemed to recognize him immediately. He did not pay attention to Han Li who was deliberately standing in the corner.
