Nine Heavens Azure Thunder Sword Formation

A personally taught disciple!

Hearing the words of the Sleepy Immortal, Fang Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He appeared to have ended the battle forcefully, but after this chaotic fight, eighty percent of his spiritual energy had been depleted. He was merely feigning nonchalance. 🍪😝 ➅➈ⓈĤ𝕌ⓧ.¢𝐨𝔪 ☮♜

Those cultivators who were still conscious looked at Fang Wang with varying expressions, their hearts filled with mixed feelings. They couldn't believe that someone could fight fifty-one people alone, considering that their cultivation levels were quite different and that they all came from families of cultivators.

"Fang Wang? I've never heard of him before!"

"The Fang family is remarkable, but I wonder where they are from?"

"He's too strong. He became a personal disciple as soon as he entered the sect. I'm convinced. I couldn't even withstand one of his moves."

"His flames were enough to burn us to death; he deliberately held back."

Almost everyone accepted their defeat willingly, only realizing the terrifying power of Xuan Yang spiritual energy after fighting Fang Wang.

They even felt like they were fighting not a Qi Nourishing Realm cultivator, but a Spirit Shaping Realm expert!

Looking at Fang Wang's tall and straight figure, Gu Li felt for the first time that she was very mediocre. No wonder her father wanted her to come to Taiyuan Sect. If she hadn't come and had stayed in the family, she would have really thought that she was an unparalleled genius.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky, like a celestial being descending to earth. He was dressed in the Taoist robe of the Taiyuan Sect, with an elegant demeanor. Although his temples were white, they only accentuated his otherworldly air. He looked to be only in his early thirties.

The Sleepy Immortal turned his head and laughed, "Junior Brother, that's him. Take him up."

He then looked at Fang Wang and introduced him, "This is the Inheritance Elder, Zhao Chuangan. Follow him to receive your reward as a personal disciple."

Fang Wang hurriedly bowed to Zhao Chuangan. Zhao Chuangan's expression was indifferent, and he simply nodded slightly. Suddenly, he waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind swept over them, directly carrying Fang Wang away. The two of them turned into a rainbow of light and disappeared into the mountains.

This scene made all the novice cultivators envious, and Zhou Xue smiled and was in a very good mood.

"In the future, he will surely become a prominent figure in the Taiyuan Sect and even the cultivation world of the Great Qi. A hundred years from now, no, at most fifty years from now, you will be proud to be his contemporary."

The Sleepy Immortal stroked his beard and laughed, his tone filled with a sense of nostalgia for the past.

"Alright, let's now select the five sword-wielding disciples."

The Sleepy Immortal changed the subject, looked at the cultivators, and said seriously.

……

Fang Wang stood behind Zhao Chuangan, riding a flying sword that was three zhang long. The sword blade flowed with strands of silver light, making it extremely dazzling.

Looking down at Taiyuan Sect from above, he saw a huge city nestled among the peaks, with Taiyuan Sect disciples coming and going, and various flying magical artifacts and mounts dazzling his eyes.

Zhao Chuangan was taciturn, which made it difficult for Fang Wang to strike up a conversation directly. He could only admire the scenery along the way.

Taiyuan Gate is vast, far surpassing Nanqiu City. Zhao Chuangan was heading towards the highest peak, and only upon approaching it could one truly appreciate its imposing grandeur.

Soon, the two rode their swords up the mountain and landed in front of a palace.

Fang Wang looked up and saw that the magnificent palace was called Shiyuan Palace, with two ferocious stone statues of strange beasts standing in front of the gate.

Behind him was a long white jade staircase with hundreds of steps, at the end of which was a vast platform with a radius of two or three miles, where three disciples were cleaning.

"Come with me."

Zhao Chuangan spoke, then stepped into the Shiyuan Hall, with Fang Wang following closely behind.

Upon entering the Shiyuan Hall, Fang Wang surveyed the interior. It was spacious and bright, which was his first impression. There were no weapons or fancy decorations on display.

Fang Wang's gaze was drawn to a figure directly in front of him. It was an old man in a white robe with white hair coiled under a jade crown. He was not tall, but his back exuded a calm and reassuring aura. With his hands behind his back, he seemed to be able to face all the calamities of the world.

"Sect Leader, Senior Brother..."

He's here.

Zhao Chuangan stopped and spoke. Upon hearing the words "Sect Leader," Fang Wang couldn't help but tense up.

The sect leader turned around and casually rolled up his sleeves. His face did not look as old as his back view. Although he was not young, he had the appearance of white hair and a youthful face.

Upon seeing the other person's gaze, Fang Wang quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

Zhou Xue had previously stated that Guang Qiuxian, the leader of the Taiyuan Sect, possessed profound cultivation. Among the nine major sects, he could be ranked among the top five in terms of individual strength, and it was difficult to determine who among the top five was the strongest.

"I've seen your performance. Not bad. I have high hopes for you. Becoming a personal disciple will grant you a high-grade magic weapon. However, before that, you must choose which lineage to join."

Guang Qiuxian looked at Fang Wang and smiled. His smile was kind and not at all intimidating.

Fang Wang replied, "I want to join the Third Clan."

This was arranged by Zhou Xue on the way here; each member of the Fang family had to join a different lineage.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chuangan glanced at Fang Wang with a strange look in his eyes.

Guang Qiuxian stroked his beard and laughed. He said gently, "Fang Wang, it seems you know something about the Taiyuan Sect. But I still have to make it clear to you. The inheritance of the Third Lineage is indeed the most profound among the Nine Lineages, but the Third Lineage is in a special situation now. In terms of overall strength, it ranks eighth. The ranking of a lineage will affect the resources of the lineage. You can consider this carefully."

Upon hearing that the lineage was the most profound, Fang Wang immediately nodded and said, "I will choose the third lineage."

Zhao Chuangan shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Guang Qiuxian nodded in agreement, then raised his right hand, and three beams of light flew out from his sleeve, hovering above the hall. They were a cyan longsword, a jade flute, and a folding fan.

"These three are all top-grade magic artifacts, and they are quite similar. Choose whichever one you find most appealing."

Guang Qiuxian gave a brief introduction and then waited for Fang Wang to make his choice.

Fang Wang did not hesitate and chose the sword directly, since swordsmanship was his forte. He would develop other magical artifacts after learning other unique skills.

A cultivator cannot establish themselves solely on a magical artifact.

Guang Qiuxian raised his hand and pointed, and the cyan longsword fell into Fang Wang's hand. The sword was entirely cyan, as if it were forged from cyan jade. The blade was not sharp. Holding the blade with both hands, he felt coolness and his heart calmed down.

He noticed two characters engraved on the hilt of the sword.

Qingjun!

"Do not use this magic artifact lightly before shaping the spirit, as it may cause a backlash," Guang Qiuxian warned.

Zhao Chuangan turned around and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to collect your reward as a personal disciple."

Fang Wang quickly sheathed his sword, first bowed to Guang Qiuxian, and then followed Zhao Chuanqian's steps.

As he watched Fang Wang's retreating figure, Guang Qiuxian's smile never faded. After the two left the Taiyuan Palace, he murmured to himself, "Another genius has emerged. It seems that the Taiyuan Sect is about to rise. It's a pity that he joined the sect too late and will miss out on the good fortune to come."

After leaving the Abyss Hall, Fang Wang, led by Zhao Chuanqian, went to the main peak's affairs hall to receive the jade pendant of a personal disciple. He then went to the magic weapon hall to receive a storage bag, a flying sword, one hundred talismans, and ten spirit stones. But that wasn't all; they went to the pill hall to receive ten bottles of spirit energy pills.

Zhao Chuangan also introduced the situation of the Third Branch. The total number of disciples in the Third Branch exceeds two thousand, including outer disciples. Currently, the Third Branch has four direct disciples, and with Fang Wang, there are five.

Above the direct disciples are the chief disciples of a single lineage, and above them are the chief disciples of the Taiyuan Sect.

The eldest disciple of a single lineage is qualified to inherit the position of the peak master of that lineage, while the eldest disciple of the Taiyuan Sect will be the next sect leader!

Fang Wang wasn't interested in improving his status or position; instead, he inquired about the most profound inheritance of the Third Lineage.

Zhao Chuangan gave him a deep look and replied, "The Nine Heavens Azure Thunder Sword Formation is the strongest formation of the Taiyuan Sect. It can be cast by a single person and is also the strongest spell. It has the unparalleled power to pacify the world, but no one can master the Nine Heavens Azure Thunder Sword Formation now."

Fang Wang silently memorized it.

Afterwards, Zhao Chuangan led him to the peak of the third branch of the mountain. The entire mountain was filled with disciples meditating and cultivating. There were also many stone gates on the mountain, and he didn't know what was inside.

Led by Zhao Chuanqian, Fang Wang landed in an open space where hundreds of disciples were practicing some kind of sword technique.

Directly in front of the open space, a row of imposing disciples were scrutinizing the other cultivators. When they saw Zhao Chuanqian, they immediately turned around and bowed to him in unison.

"Li Yu, this is your junior brother, Fang Wang. He has entered the sect today and has already gained the sect leader's approval. Please take him to his cave dwelling."

Zhao Chuangan spoke to the leading man, then flew away on his sword, leaving Fang Wang behind.

Li Yu, the eldest disciple of the third lineage, appears young, but is actually over two hundred years old.

Upon hearing Zhao Chuanqian's words, Li Yu's eyes lit up, and the other disciples behind him also became excited and gathered around.

"Personal disciple, it seems you're the strongest among this batch of new disciples!"

"Good lad, you have good judgment. Choosing the third branch will definitely not make you regret it."

"Hahaha, finally a remarkable genius has joined the Third Clan."

"Senior Brother Fang Wang, if you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me. I am a branch disciple, and my name is Zhou Bo."

Within the Taiyuan Sect, the next highest rank among disciples is senior brother; seniority is only considered among those of the same rank.

Fang Wang didn't put on airs and exchanged pleasantries with them one by one. After a while, Li Yu led Fang Wang to choose a cave dwelling.

Along the way, Li Yu was very enthusiastic, introducing the Third Meridian to Fang Wang.

The peak master of the third lineage is named Yang Yuanzi. In addition to leading the affairs of the lineage, the peak master also takes on disciples. Li Yu praised Yang Yuanzi to the extreme, as if Yang Yuanzi were the strongest peak master.

Half an hour later, Fang Wang finally chose his cave dwelling. It turned out that the stone gate on the mountain was the cave dwelling. There were also differences in quality between the cave dwellings. As a direct disciple, he enjoyed one of the best cave dwellings.

After Li Yu took his leave, Fang Wang entered the cave. From now on, he would use his identity token to enter and exit this cave. For unclaimed caves, one only needs to press the disciple's token on the door to claim ownership. Of course, this claiming of ownership is not unbreakable; the peak master can forcibly reclaim the cave.

Fang Wang's eyes lit up at what he saw. From the outside, he thought the cave was small, but he didn't expect it to be a hidden world inside, as big as half a football field. There was even a small lake at the deepest part. The cave was filled with rich spiritual energy, and he felt refreshed just by taking a breath.

Inside the cave, there was a stone table and benches, as well as a large white jade bed. He took a quick look around and then sat down on the white jade bed to cultivate his inner energy.

I used up too much spiritual energy today and must replenish it.

According to Li Yu, Yang Yuanzi would not be able to come out of seclusion to see him for five days. The direct disciples in Taiyuan Sect are very free. They have nothing to do on weekdays, and even if they do nothing, they can still obtain the cultivation resources of Taiyuan Sect on time.

While cultivating his inner energy, Fang Wang harbored his own thoughts.

We absolutely must get our hands on the Nine Heavens Azure Thunder Sword Formation!
