#284 - Show yourself, let the kids fly

Chapter 284: Showcasing Themselves, Unleashed Children

Half a month later, all the cultivators participating in the competition had arrived, registered, and been assigned.

From the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Fusion Realm, the number of participating cultivators exceeded ten thousand. All of them were quite confident in their swordsmanship. There was no need for cultivators with too low cultivation levels to participate, as talent was important, but comprehension of the Sword Dao was also greatly related to time.

No matter how monstrous Qin Qiming and the others were, they had only cultivated for a few decades. If a Tribulation Transcension stage cultivator with mediocre talent, who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, came, their comprehension of the Sword Dao might not necessarily be inferior to theirs.

Therefore, all participants were required to suppress their cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage for the competition.

Moreover, Qin Changqing had already planned that this kind of Sword Dao grand event should be held every ten years. By then, the children would also have made considerable progress, and he could continue to draw more insights from it.

Around the high platform, a sea of cultivators was seated, each one excitedly staring at the arena, shouting for the person they supported.

"Qi Xian, Qi Xian, boundless magic power!"

"Qiming, Qiming, I think you're the best!"

"Palace Master Zhao, you must cheer up and get a good ranking to save face for our brothers in the Golden Crow Domain!"

"… …"

Whoosh!

A streak of white light flashed, and on the highest cloud platform, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared. The black-robed clone calmly surveyed the audience. Beside him, Qin Changqing, dressed in white robes, had a gentle and calm expression.

The scene instantly fell silent, so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

Immediately afterward, thousands of cultivators stood up in unison, cupped their hands, and shouted loudly: "Greetings, Alliance Leader! Greetings, Deputy Alliance Leader!"

"The competition begins!"

Chu Tianlu immediately flew up, hovering in the sky above the square, and manipulated a magic seal in his hand. A formation like an inverted giant bowl covered the entire competition venue.

At the same time, streams of light shot in from all directions, landing in the corresponding venues according to their number plates.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated again, with deafening shouts.

A middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Domain, dressed in a blue robe, looked a little unsightly, and secretly complained in his heart as he looked at Qin Qixian, who had a calm expression on the opposite side.

Why did he have to run into him right away!

"Gong Nan, the deacon of the Golden Crow Domain, greets Palace Master Qixian!"

Qin Qixian floated three feet above the ground, ethereal like an immortal, and said softly: "I will only use one sword strike. If you can withstand it, you win!"

These words were too arrogant. Even though Gong Nan was somewhat afraid of Qin Qixian's status and cultivation, he was still a little unhappy.

You're just pretending to be * * * * *

"Please enlighten me!"

Gong Nan didn't waste any words. The moment the formation was activated, he directly sacrificed his natal flying sword and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards Qin Qixian.

His speed was extremely fast, even leaving behind afterimages. The flying sword was as flexible and unrestrained as a swimming dragon, and its sharp sword energy surged towards Qin Qixian like a tide.

Qin Qixian's expression was indifferent, as if he hadn't seen the opponent's offensive at all. He didn't even bother to use the flying sword behind him. He held his index finger upright in front of him, and a wisp of sword light formed at his fingertip, and he said faintly: "Go!"

Whoosh!

The sword light disappeared in front of him in an instant. The next moment, it pierced through the opponent's offensive with destructive force, and then hovered three inches from Gong Nan's forehead.

Cold sweat broke out on Gong Nan's face, and he was filled with shock.

Could the other party's Sword Dao cultivation have reached such a terrifying level?

He had only cultivated for a few decades!

"Palace Master Qixian's Sword Dao cultivation is heaven-defying. Gong Nan admits defeat!"

Gong Nan's face was full of bitterness. Although he was only at the early stage of the Transformation God stage, there was a big gap between him and Qin Qixian.

However, both sides had suppressed their cultivation to the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. He lost in the comprehension of the Sword Dao and was completely convinced.

Qin Qixian retracted his sword light, nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "If heaven had not given birth to Qin Qixian, the Sword Dao would have been like a long night for eternity…"

Gong Nan's expression twitched, he cupped his hands and flew off the stage.

This sword strike was indeed amazing. Because he was the focus of attention, at the same time as the two sides started, some cultivators had projected this scene onto the spirit crystal viewing mirror in the air and slowed it down.

This was also specially arranged by Qin Changqing.

This would allow many cultivators with low cultivation levels to see the mysteries clearly. Although they may not be able to comprehend it, they would be inspired to some extent.

"Oh my god, Palace Master Qixian is so handsome!"

"If I hadn't watched the spirit crystal replay of this sword, I wouldn't have been able to see it clearly!"

"Deacon Gong Nan is also considered a well-known Sword Dao expert in the Golden Crow Domain. I didn't expect that he couldn't even withstand a single sword strike in front of Palace Master Qixian…"

"It's a pity. If Deacon Gong Nan had met someone else, he might have been able to go further. It's just that he was unlucky!"

The crowd in the stands was excited.

"Not bad!"

Ji Linglong's eyes flashed with brilliance: "Qixian's talent in the Sword Dao is indeed amazing. If we only talk about the Sword Dao, I'm afraid I may not be his opponent…"

This was a bit of an exaggeration. Ji Linglong had cultivated for tens of thousands of years. Even if her Sword Dao talent was not high, with such a long time, she would definitely be able to suppress Qin Qixian, but it might not be true in a few more years.

Qin Changqing stared closely at the spirit crystal viewing mirror, watching the repeated replay on it, and his divine sense quickly analyzed the mysteries within.

With his current Void Fusion Realm cultivation, his divine sense was also extremely powerful. He had an innate advantage, and he was now able to see through things that he couldn't understand before at a glance.

"So that's how it is… Condensing the sword into astral energy, spiritual power can actually be used like this…"

Qin Changqing's eyes became brighter and brighter. Although Qin Qixian only used one sword strike, this sword strike also contained many insights from these years. It can be said that the Great Dao was simplified, otherwise it would not have been possible for Gong Nan to be defeated with one sword strike.

As Qin Changqing comprehended, he suddenly felt the Innate Sword Embryo in his body twitch, as if it was affected by Qin Changqing, and there was a faint sword intent lingering around it.

"My comprehension of the Sword Dao can actually help the Sword Embryo grow?"

Qin Changqing immediately showed a look of surprise.

This Sword Embryo was originally an innate thing, born from heaven and earth, and had an extremely sensitive perception of the Great Dao. Now that it had recognized Qin Changqing as its master, after this period of nurturing, the person and the sword were already inseparable. Qin Changqing's comprehension of the Sword Dao could also allow the Sword Embryo to absorb nutrients.

Correspondingly, with this Innate Sword Embryo, Qin Changqing's comprehension of the Sword Dao would also be smoother. After all, this kind of treasure could strengthen the master's comprehension of the Great Dao.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Innate Sword Embryo. They influenced each other and grew together. In the future, Qin Changqing's comprehension of the Sword Dao might be comparable to those Sword Dao monsters like Qin Qixian and Qin Qiming.

"Hmm? Qiming's side seems to be much gentler, not bad!"

Qin Changqing turned his gaze and landed on Qin Qiming.

Similarly, the victory was quickly decided, but the difference was that Qin Qiming gave the other party enough face and did not embarrass the other party too much.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qiming, for showing mercy!"

The purple-robed woman on the opposite side retracted her flying sword, with a look of admiration on her face.
