Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body-Chapter 4 - ’One Sword Immortal Kneels’ Sword Technique, Cuts off the Chiyu Peak

For some reason, Gu Xi felt his body freeze, and his heart tighten. The old man in front of him was clearly just a guardian elder of the library. He looked extremely plain and did not exude any pressure. However, Gu Xi felt anxious the moment he asked that question. 𝐟𝘳𝑒𝗲𝘸e𝒃𝘯𝒐𝐯e𝚕.c𝒐𝒎

He said calmly, “Yes, I don’t have enough contribution points, so I can only choose this book.”

This time, Elder Zhao did not ask anything else. He went through the procedures for Gu Xi. When he walked out of the door, he said, “Don’t damage the book. Cultivate well.”

The last sentence was meaningful. Elder Zhao looked at Gu Xi’s back as he walked away. He retracted his deep gaze and stretched like an ordinary old man before he continued to doze off.

The library was silent. Aside from the old man’s long and rhythmic breathing, the entire world was quiet. There was no wind, but a page flipped over on the book that was placed on the counter.

All that was recorded on it were the names of the people who borrowed books. There was only the sound of rustling. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were checking the records.

In the end, they slowly stopped at the words ‘Gu X’.

...

The first thing Gu Xi did when he returned to the room was to purify the Sword Drawing Technique.

[The system has detected the ‘Sword Drawing Technique’]

[3,600 flaws have been discovered. Begin to extract the flaws and repair them.]

[The ‘Sword Drawing Technique’ has been restored to the divine-level cultivation method, ‘One Sword Immortal Kneels’]

Gu Xi had never expected that this restoration would actually become a divine-level cultivation method. Moreover, the name sounded rather awesome.

“One Sword Immortal Kneels. I like this name.”

Gu Xi immediately went to the sword-testing stone at the back of the mountain. He could not wait to test the power of this cultivation technique.

The sword-testing stone was an indispensable part of sword cultivation techniques. Sword cultivators had strong destructive power, so ordinary mountain rocks could not withstand the tremendous power and Sword Qi. If they practiced on ordinary terrain, mountains would collapse, and the earth would crack. In a few years, a whole mountain would be flattened.

Therefore, the sword-testing stone appeared. It was especially used for sword cultivators to practice sword techniques or sword moves. It was made of the strongest material and could withstand the power below the Golden Core stage.

It was very difficult for an ordinary person to leave a mark on it. Only a strong person could do it. Moreover, according to the depth of the mark, one could judge the strength of the person.

The sky gradually turned dark. When Gu Xi arrived at the back of the mountain, there were no other disciples. The sun was setting in the west, and most of the sky was red from the reflection of the burning clouds. It stretched Gu Xi’s shadow. making it look extremely long.

Half of the green stones had sunk into the ground, and the other half was full of sword marks. The simple and unadorned marks on the stones spoke of the silent vicissitudes of life. Even the base of the stones was covered in moss. It was obvious that they had a lot of history.

Gu Xi did not have any good weapons. He looked around and picked up some dried branches.

“I wonder if the technique is really that powerful,” he muttered to himself and brandished the wooden branch. However, in the next second, he was caught off guard.

The ordinary branch was like a peerless divine sword. In an instant, the wind and clouds surged. Sharp Sword Qi shot into the sky, and the wind pressure caused the red clouds to gather and swirl. They swarmed over, and the entire sky burned even more vigorously.

Boom!

A loud sound was heard. The earth and the mountains shook. The sword light came menacingly, forcefully breaking open a path and heading straight for the Chiyu Peak.

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook. The peak of the mountain was actually forcefully cut off, causing crushed to stones fall.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Gu Xi’s body went soft. If not for the support of the tree branches in his hand, he would have almost knelt down. Of course, he was not scared.

At this moment, his face was pale. He did not expect that just one move would drain all the spiritual power in his body. “As expected of One Sword Immortal Kneels.”

Gu Xi sighed. Even he had to kneel down to such tremendous power, let alone an enemy.

The Chiyu Peak, which had its peak shaved off, was one of the twelve peaks of the sect. Compared to the other undamaged peaks, it seemed a bit out of place.

At that time, the elders of the twelve peaks were gathered on the main peak, Tianchen Peak, to discuss the Dao Conference that was to be held this year.

This was a rare occasion. Every sect would send its outstanding disciples to participate in the competition. Although it sounded like a social event, it was actually a competition of strength between the various sects.

The person who won the first place would gain a great reputation, and he would have easy access to resources and initiatives. Regardless of whether the elders were going to accept disciples or not, all in all, it could be said that there were many benefits.

Therefore, every year at this time, each sect would make every effort to make their own sect stand out. Whether it was for individuals or for the sect, they would benefit greatly.

“I heard that this year, there are a few disciples from the Grand Mystery Sect who are very talented. They even have a rare spirit root attribute.”

“Not only the Grand Mystery Sect, but even the Chang Gan Sect has also recruited a few new disciples. It is said that they are also very powerful. As for the other sects, not to mention the Ji Lou Sect and the Yuan Kun Sect, there are quite a few good seedlings.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be quite difficult for us to win the championship? There aren’t any good seedlings this year, and those with good talent are stuck at a bottleneck and haven’t succeeded in breaking through.”

Just as the elders were discussing, they suddenly heard a loud sound.

Boom!

“What happened!”

“Something seems to have fallen down.”

Everyone was confused. The Great Elder suddenly stood up from his chair and quickly walked outside, followed by the other elders.

Not far away, the Chiyu Peak caught their eye. It seemed that it had half of its peak shaved off.

The Great Elder’s eyes lit up in excitement. “That’s...”

The sharp marks were clearly caused by Sword Qi. “It could actually cut off half of the peak by itself. Could it be that someone has broken through?”

“To be able to make such a big commotion, could it be that a disciple has broken through to the Golden Core stage?”

The few elders went to the Chiyu Peak and experienced the horror of the lingering Sword Intent.

“I’m afraid that without dozens of years of cultivation, it’s impossible to use this earth-shattering sword technique. I can see that the user is lacking experience. He must not be very familiar with the technique. If it could already cause so much damage, what kind of effect would it have if he practiced it over time?”

“What kind of sword technique is this?”

“Such an exquisite sword technique. It’s simply unheard of. Second Elder, you read a lot of books. Do you know what kind of sword technique this is?”

Second Elder shook his head. His expression was a bit puzzled. “I’ve been in the sect for so many years, but I’ve never seen such a powerful sword technique. I think it shouldn’t be from the sect.”

“Maybe it’s because the disciple went on an adventure and obtained it.”

The crowd discussed animatedly. They were so happy that they could not speak. No matter what, they were still worried about the competition. Now that someone had successfully advanced, it seemed that they had a chance to stand out this year.
