#283 - The first grand event to revitalize Kendo

Around the massive arena, high stands built from Xuan Jade stones encircled the entire space, with seating for hundreds of thousands of spectators. Moreover, huge spirit crystal screens floated in the sky above, where cultivators would use their divine sense to capture and project exciting moments, broadcasting and replaying them in real-time.

Outside the arena, various palaces had been erected, complete with every function imaginable. There were residences for cultivators to stay in, grand halls offering all kinds of spiritual food and wine, and places for cultivators to relax and enjoy themselves…

With the Changqing Alliance's current wealth of resources, putting on such a display was no strain at all.

Such a grand occasion was a rare sight for the entire Changqing Alliance, and Qin Changqing naturally put his heart and soul into it.

The reason he had made a special trip back to host this Sword Dao competition was to absorb Sword Dao experience from experts of all kinds. After all, now that he possessed the Innate Sword Embryo, he would definitely walk the path of the sword.

Only by gathering the strengths of many could he go further on the path of the sword.

When Qin Qiming and the others arrived at Heavenly Sword Peak on their magical artifacts, they were stunned by the scene before them.

There were too many people!

As far as the eye could see, the vast mountain peak was teeming with people, with cultivators flying through the air from time to time, shuttling back and forth between the palaces, and bursts of hearty laughter ringing out.

"Big brother!"

As soon as they landed, a chorus of greetings arose around them.

Qin Qiming looked back and smiled.

Qin Qixian, Yu Xianxue, and others arrived together, along with many long-unseen brothers and sisters, a dark mass that was quite eye-catching.

"Big brother, this time your Qixian brother and Qisha brother are both hot contenders for the title of Sword Immortal. Which of you is more confident?"

Qin Qigang grinned and darted over.

Knowing that the Alliance Leader had organized such a grand event, Qin Qigang naturally couldn't sit still and had rushed over from the Chaotic Domain as soon as possible.

Qin Qixian stared intently at Qin Qiming, saying seriously, "Big brother, you also possess supreme talent in the Sword Dao. I've always wanted to know, is your sword faster, or is my sword sharper!"

Although the two were brothers, it didn't prevent them from competing with each other.

After all, they were both geniuses, and they both had their own pride.

Qin Qiming was also full of fighting spirit: "I would also like to know!"

Yu Xianxue snorted: "Although you are very powerful in your Sword Dao cultivation, I am not convinced either. This time I will also compete for the title of Sword Immortal. If you lose to me, don't cry!"

Qin Qixian's lips curled into a smile: "At the end of the Immortal Path, I am the peak…"

Everyone was immediately covered in black lines.

Here it comes again!

Qin Qigang jumped out and shouted, "Brothers and sisters, this Sword Dao competition is a rare event, a rare opportunity. I'll be the bookie! Big brother Qiming is one to one, Qixian brother is one to one, Qisha brother is one to one, Xianxue sister is one to ten, Qishuo brother is one to ten, Deputy Hall Master Zhuang is one to ten… Place your bets, place your bets!"

Qin Qiming and the others were speechless.

What is this kid up to!

Yu Xianxue was immediately unhappy, placing her hands on her hips and raising her eyebrows: "Qin Qigang, what do you mean? Why am I one to ten? Where am I worse than them? Explain yourself!"

How could Qin Qigang dare to offend this elder sister? He quickly smiled and said, "Sister Xianxue, don't be angry, I didn't say you weren't powerful, but the Alliance Leader said that this competition is about Sword Dao cultivation and comprehension. You are indeed a little bit behind Big Brother Qiming and the others in Sword Dao cultivation. This is an undeniable fact, don't be angry. Next time if the Alliance Leader holds a battle competition, I will definitely bet all my wealth on you!"

Yu Xianxue snorted, accepting the explanation.

The others, after a brief silence, crowded around, exclaiming excitedly: "I'll bet 10,000 spirit stones on Big Brother Qiming!"

"I'll bet 100,000 spirit stones on Big Brother Qixian!"

"I'll bet 10,000 spirit stones on Brother Qisha!"

"…"

However, he didn't stop him. The children were happy, and there was no harm in it, so he let them be!

Suddenly, two streams of light flew rapidly from a distance and landed not far away, attracting Qin Changqing's attention.

"Zihan, over here!"

Qin Changqing transmitted his voice.

Fang Zihan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she quickly looked back, immediately noticing Qin Changqing looking at her with a gentle smile.

"Qisha, go play with your brothers and sisters. Mother has something to do."

Fang Zihan left a sentence and quickly flew away.

Qin Qisha was a little surprised, but when he saw Qin Changqing on the distant pavilion smiling and nodding at him, he smiled in his heart.

Mother says no, but her body is very honest.

It would be strange if she didn't miss Father after not seeing him for so long.

Above the pavilion, a graceful figure landed, staring fixedly at the refined man opposite her.

Qin Changqing opened his arms and said softly, "Zihan, did you miss me?"

It had been several years since the two had last met. After all, Qin Changqing had too many women now, and he couldn't possibly take care of each of them.

Fang Zihan bit her red lip without speaking, but slowly threw herself into Qin Changqing's arms.

Qin Changqing closed his arms, then his expression twitched, and he said helplessly, "Zihan, can't you take off this sword?"

"The person is with the sword!"

Fang Zihan leaned in Qin Changqing's arms and whispered.

Alright, alright.

It was acceptable for his woman to have some unimportant little quirks…

"Who do you favor in this Sword Dao competition?"

After a brief moment of tenderness, Fang Zihan asked, blinking her big eyes.

Qin Changqing smiled and said, "I don't have much knowledge in this area, but the final ranking should be among Qiming, Qixian, and Qisha. The Alliance Leader has prepared a lot of rewards, but for them, these are secondary. What they comprehend from it is the real prize. And I think the title of Sword Immortal is quite attractive to these kids…"

Fang Zihan's bright eyes flickered, and she felt proud when she heard Qin Changqing praising her son.

Qin Changqing looked down at her and smiled, "You are also a Sword Dao master. I happen to have some Sword Dao knowledge I want to ask you about. I wonder if Fairy Fang has the time?"

Fang Zihan's pretty face turned red, she lowered her head, and nodded softly.
