1030: C1030 Sword concealment ceremony

C1030 Sword concealment ceremony

On the eastern side of Hidden Sword Mountain, there was a small mountain that was over a hundred meters tall. On the peak of the mountain, there was an ancient looking pavilion that was facing off against the Heavenly Sword Hall that was living in the Sect Master.

This was the residence of the Hidden Sword Hall, the previous "Sword Lord"!

As the sun rose, the vast plaza below the small mountain was already filled with people. A large majority of the cultivators of the Pure Yang Sword Sect were already gathered there.

Today was the day that the Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony would be held.

Pure Yang Sword Sect's "Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony" was usually held every fifty years, which was around the same as the opening cycle of the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm". Generally speaking, after the cultivators who had entered the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm" to gain experience would return, the "Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony" would take place in another half a month.

It was the same as the requirements to enter the "Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm", where disciples of the Golden Sword and swordsmen under the age of fifty could participate in the grand ceremony to compete for the "Sword Lord" position.

During the ceremony, not only would the cultivator with the best performance become the "Sword Lord", they would also choose one person from each of the Seven Great Sects to be the successor to the Great Elder of the Seven Great Sects.

These seven, were generally called "Little Sword Lord".

No matter if it was the Sword Lord or the Little Sword Lord, as long as nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely become a high ranking figure that held the greatest power in the Pure Yang Sword Sect in the future. As a result, regardless of whether it was the swordsmen or the disciples of the Golden Sword, they were all very passionate about the "Hidden Sword Ceremony". Even if it was just the cultivation level of the Sky Origin, they would still participate.

After all, this "Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony" wasn't about strength being respected, but instead, it was about potential being superior.

The Pure Yang Sword Sect had existed for countless of years and had held the "Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony" many times. From the historical results, those who laughed till the end might not necessarily be the strongest profound practitioners. The number of tribulation realm cultivators and even those in the third realm winning in the end was countless.

For example, when the current Pure Yang Sword Sect Xi Yi won the "Hidden Sword Ceremony" and became the "Sword Lord", he was only a Yang Calamity cultivator who had just broken through, and when the Fire Division Meng Xingchun obtained the "Little Sword Lord" status, he was only at the peak of the Yin Calamity realm.

"Quite a few swordsmen and disciples of the Golden Sword Sect participated in the Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony this time. I wonder who would be the one to obtain the positions of 'Sword Lord' and 'Little Sword Lord' in the end?"

"I heard that Tang Huan and the water division's eldest senior sister Mei Yingluo performed exceptionally well in the 'Heavenly Desolate Secret Realm' this time, as they both broke through into the profound hole, and especially Tang Huan, who in the short span of three years, had risen from the Essence Condensation Realm to the profound hole. And there was also Fire Division's eldest senior sister, Yu Qingge. It was said that she was already at the peak of the Void Calamity Realm and could break through at any time. In my opinion, this time's' Sword Lord 'would most likely appear between the three of them. "

Amongst the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect, Tang Huan, Mei Yingluo and the others are indeed ranked in the top three, but among the swordsmen, there are quite a few who are stronger than them. Furthermore, this' Hidden Sword Ceremony 'is not only about strength. In the past, out of all the great ceremonies, the one that was favored the most would most likely end up empty-handed. "

"?"

"That's true! However, even if he couldn't get the position of 'Sword Lord', the 'Little Sword Lord' of the Wind Division definitely belonged to Tang Huan. Amongst the Wind Division Swordsmen and disciples of the Golden Sword Sect, not a single one of them are stronger than Tang Huan.

"Heh, I don't believe it, I bet that Tang Huan can become the 'Sword Lord'."

"I also bet on Tang Huan becoming a 'Sword Lord'!"

"?"

Amongst the crowd, Tang Huan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the bustling sounds around him.

He never thought that so many cultivators of Pure Yang Sword Sect would think that he would win in the end and become the "Sword Lord". Of course, there were many who didn't think well of him. It was no wonder that they had such thoughts. After all, the results of the previous "Hidden Sword Ceremony" had been placed there, and people couldn't help but think this way.

Immediately after, Tang Huan no longer paid any attention to the discussions of the surrounding people, and instead, shifted his gaze to the stairs in front of him.

At that moment, all around Tang Huan were the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect who were about to attend the ceremony, while the other cultivators of the Pure Yang Sword Sect were circling around him in a semicircle. In front of Tang Huan and the others, there was a ten-meter-wide stone path that stretched straight up, all the way to the peak of the mountain where the Hidden Sword Pavilion was located.

The "Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony" was held on the stone steps.

Passing through the stone staircase as fast as possible and ringing the ancient bell that hung in front of the Hidden Sword Hall was the Pure Yang Sword Sect's "Sword Lord".

The entire ceremony would continue for seven days.

If no one was able to do this, then they could only wait until the next great ceremony. With regards to the choice of "Sword Lord", Pure Yang Sword Sect would rather not have any of it.

Of course, the selection of "Little Sword Lord" wasn't this strict.

If no one reached the summit and rang the ancient bell, seven people would still be chosen from the participants of the grand ceremony to be the successors of the seven Great Elder s. If there were many people who had rung the ancient bell, then it was natural that other than the Sword Lord s would be the "Little Sword Lord".1

Tang Huan originally did not have much interest in the position of Sword Lord, but after Xi Yi's persuasion, he was already quite interested in it.

After returning to his residence, he searched through Hu Chan's memories, and immediately, Tang Huan was determined to participate in the ceremony. With the identity as Pure Yang Sword Sect's "Sword Lord", walking in Forging God Great World would indeed be beneficial. Most importantly, after becoming a Sword Lord, he would be able to stay in the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

The Hidden Sword Pavilion was not just a simple place to stay. There were also hidden mysteries within.

Just for this reason, Tang Huan wanted to fight for the position of the Sword Lord.

Hu Chan had also participated in the "Hidden Sword Ceremony". At that time, two people had ascended the mountain peak and sounded the ancient bell. However, he was half a day late and in the end, became the "Little Sword Lord", and took over as the Wind Division's Great Elder. Not long after, a mishap happened to the newly appointed Sect Master and he was unable to select a new one. Under such circumstances, Hu Chan, who had once rung the bell, had the highest chance of becoming the next Sect Master, but unfortunately, he went to the "Heavenly Ancient Region".

After considering Hu Chan's experience during the Grand Ceremony, Tang Huan was not very confident about this competition. However, he would do his best.

Unknowingly, the sun had already set.

Sect Master, Meng Xingchun, Wei Xuan Pavilion and the other Great Elder s of the seven tribes finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes. After a while, they stood still on the stone steps, and then Xi Yi's voice echoed in the air, and after a few words of introduction, he announced ?

"Everyone, the 'Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony' will now begin!"

When the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect heard this, they could no longer hold themselves back and rushed towards the stone staircase as fast as lightning. However, these people went up and down faster. Not long after, dozens of people rolled down the stairs like they were falling down a gourd.

Tang Huan was not in a rush to take action. Instead, he first dispelled all distracting thoughts and allowed his heart to become as calm as water. Then, he leisurely walked forward and stepped onto the stone steps.
