774: C774 It Turned out to be a Tempering of the Mind

C774 It Turned out to be a Tempering of the Mind

Yagyuu Tang could not accept this fact!

However, in the next moment, the figure had already reached the peak of the mountain. Coincidentally, three hours had passed.

"Am I done?" Ah Ji smiled and said to Old Taoist, who was standing on the peak of the mountain.

Old Taoist looked at Ah Ji and could not help but nod in satisfaction. "Finished. Stand behind me."

After receiving the old man's reply, Ah Ji heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He then walked up to Old Taoist's back.

Yagyuu Tang's expression was ugly and he clenched his fists tightly. However, he did not give up and gritted his teeth as he continued walking forward.

Finally, he stepped through the last step and reached the top of the mountain. The pressure on his body suddenly disappeared, and as if he had collapsed, he almost fell to the ground. Luckily, he was able to hold onto the boulder nearby and looked at Old Taoist without saying a word.

"Not bad, not bad at all. He's also a good seedling." Old Taoist smiled as he stroked his beard and said to Yagyuu Tang, "Come, stand behind me."

Hearing this, Yagyuu Tang was a little surprised, but he quickly understood something and walked to the other side of Old Taoist.

After a long time, Old Taoist did not leave.

Ah Ji stood at the back and seemed to be deep in thought. He suddenly understood that this mountain was the meaning of the third trial.

One's mentality did not seem to depend on a person's temperament. Rather, it depended on whether or not the person had the willpower to persevere.

That is to say, three hours is not the limit. It is not more than three hours and we will not be able to pass. However, if there is someone who has already reached the peak but is afraid because it is time, then he will not be able to pass.

Then he must have lost without a doubt in the third trial.

After a long time, Liu Yiyi and Xie Jing arrived at the peak of the mountain.

Old Taoist didn't say anything. He merely nodded his head with a smile and indicated for the two of them to stand by the side.

Following which, one figure after another appeared on the mountain peak. The Ling Family siblings also came up. When Ling Xue saw Ah Ji, she gritted her teeth and quickly walked to the other side.

However, there were fewer people climbing up this time, because after six hours, some people gave up.

"That's right, those who are able to climb the mountain this time are all people with strong determination and perseverance. Congratulations, you have passed." Old Taoist smiled as he looked at everyone.

This time, there were ten people who passed. They were Liu Family's Yagyuu Tang and Liu Yiyi, Xie Jing from the Xie Clan, another man, and Tang Fann. The three of them, along with Ling Family's brother, sister, and Ah Ji, also climbed up.

They were all from the Four Great Clans, and none of the other smaller Clans had made it to the end.

The old Daoist Priest was in a good mood. In the past, when he opened his sect to recruit disciples, it was not like he did not clear the level. However, this time, ten people actually managed to pass the third level.

Not to mention, there were also two people that were highly regarded by the old Taoist, Ah Ji and Yagyuu Tang.

These two people were worth nurturing. Especially Ah Ji, he was one of the most talented people. At such a young age, he had already comprehended a trace of sword intent and even obtained the approval of the mountain gate stone pillar.

If these seedlings could not be left within the Sword Hall, and were to be nurtured, it would definitely be a huge loss to his Sword Hall.

"Everyone, follow me." The old Daoist looked at the crowd with a smile and began to walk down the mountain.

Although it was difficult to go up the mountain, it was easy to go down. The few of them were all cultivators, so naturally, there was no difficulty to go down the mountain. They quickly went down.

"Next is the fourth stage, which is also the final stage of this time's trial." The old Daoist smiled and looked at the crowd. This time, he personally announced, "The final test is to enter the Sword Tomb. If you can gain the Sword Tomb's acknowledgement, you can obtain your own sword."

"This sword is a weapon that has gained the approval of the Sword Tomb, a companion that can cultivate with one's life. If it is properly nurtured and is powerful enough, even an ordinary weapon can become a divine weapon!"

With that, the old Daoist Priest no longer hesitated and led the group towards the back of the mountain.

The young Taoist also revealed a solemn expression, he followed behind Old Taoist and walked towards the back of the mountain. The Sword Tomb was the holy land of the Sword Hall, and more importantly, it was where the Sword Hall resided.2

Legend has it that there was a Divine Weapon in the Sword Tomb, but this was all a legend. No one had seen it before, and no one had ever obtained a Divine Weapon in the Sword Tomb.

In the records, the strongest weapon obtained from the Sword Tomb turned out to be one of the ancestors from five hundred years ago. He sat cross-legged in front of the Sword Tomb for three months without moving, and in the end, he comprehended the true essence of the sword and obtained the approval of the Sword Tomb. Countless flying swords flew out and circled around him.

Although this sword was not at the level of a Divine Weapon, it could cut through gold and jade, extremely sharp!

According to legend, that ancestor had once used that sword to slice apart a mountain peak. However, with the disappearance of that ancestor, that sword also disappeared.

Not long after, everyone followed Old Taoist to the Sword Tomb.

An enormous tomb that was filled with sword Qis. Surrounding it, there were even some shattered or corroded swords scattered about.

"Everyone, please enter the Sword Tomb!" Old Taoist waved his hand!

Although he said that he had entered the Sword Tomb, in reality, he was trying to comprehend the sword aura in front of the Sword Tomb. If he could gain the Sword Tomb's acknowledgement, he had passed, and if he could not get the Sword Tomb's acknowledgement, then it would mean that he had no fate with Sword Hall.

Hearing Old Taoist's words, the others no longer hesitated. They all went forward and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Ah Ji also sat down cross-legged on an empty space. The moment he got close to the Sword Tomb, he could feel the powerful sword aura contained within the Sword Tomb. It was a dragon made of countless different sword energies that coiled around the Sword Tomb.

As he got closer, he immediately felt that outside of the dragon of sword energy, there were two other terrifying sword Qis.

The two Sword Qis were very hidden, hiding deep in the Sword Tomb. If not for the Blue Longsword on Ah Ji's fingertips trembling, he would not have been able to sense the two Sword Qis in the Sword Tomb.

This was because these two sword energies were too obscure. They were hidden deep within the ground and did not emit any of their aura. Furthermore, the dragon emitted powerful sword energies, so naturally, it was easy for others to ignore them.

Sensing the two sword qi, Ah Ji immediately realized that they were not ordinary and began to try to sense the two sword qi.

Time passed, minute by minute, second by second. After an unknown amount of time, a clear sword hum suddenly rang out from within the Sword Tomb.

Immediately afterwards, the man beside Xie Jing abruptly opened his eyes. A Longsword flew out from the Sword Tomb and charged towards the man.

The man's face lit up, he took the Longsword and felt the connection from it, he could not help but become excited.

"Congratulations! Junior Brother has become a member of our Sword Hall!" When the young Daoist saw this, he immediately laughed and said.
