Seeing Feng Qingyang's completely indifferent expression, Leng Bingning didn't press the matter further.
Feng Qingyang also didn't need to explain much. When the Azure Cloud Sect dominated the Central Region, the world would know its power.
Then, Feng Qingyang began to check the system interface.
The system rewards from the last time he accepted Lin Bai were almost used up.
The silver summoning card was used, summoning the peak Shattering Void Realm outer elder, and the Sword Burial Ground had also manifested in the back mountain of the Azure Cloud Sect.
He could sense that there was something more in the back mountain, with a very strong sword intent emanating from it. However, due to the suppression of the Nine Cauldrons, the sword intent wasn't very strong.
It could just serve as a treasure land for disciples to hone themselves in the future. As for which disciple could obtain a divine sword from it, it would all depend on their individual fortune.
Now, all that was left was the cultivation method tailored for the disciple.
"Lin Bai, come here for a moment."
"Sect Master," Lin Bai, who was still sad, quickly stepped forward when he heard the Sect Master call him.
"I have a pretty good understanding of why you haven't been able to break through for so long. I know the reason."
"This sect has something to pass on to you that can solve your problem."
"From now on, you will be like Shi Hao, a direct disciple of this sect."
"Ah!"
Originally, Lin Bai was overjoyed when he heard the Sect Master say he could solve his cultivation problem.
But when he heard the Sect Master say he wanted to take him as a direct disciple, he was completely stunned.
"Thank you, Master!" Lin Bai reacted and quickly said.
Leng Bingning and Liu Xue, who were seated below, were also very curious. They didn't understand why the powerful and mysterious Sect Master Feng would take a seemingly useless person as a disciple. This young man must have a big secret.
"Release your divine sense."
Lin Bai did as he was told.
"System, you can begin."
A purple light flew from Feng Qingyang's hand into Lin Bai's sea of consciousness.
"Your physique is the legendary Azure Lotus Sword Physique. The reason you haven't been able to break through is that you didn't have the corresponding cultivation method to refine spiritual energy. Therefore, all the spiritual energy you cultivated was absorbed by your sword physique."
"With this Azure Lotus Sword Manual, your sword physique will be activated, and your cultivation will advance rapidly."
"Azure Lotus Sword Physique!"
"The legendary physique, born for the sword. When cultivation is complete, a single sword can split the heavens!"
Leng Bingning was shocked once again. The number of times she had been shocked today was enough for ten years!
She had heard her master say that in the ancient times, there was an Azure Lotus Sword Physique whose cultivation reached completion. He had once defied the heavens and slaughtered an emperor at the peak of the Saint King realm and was later revered as the Sword God.
She just never thought that such a divine physique would be seen in the Eastern Region today.
Not long after.
Outside the main hall.
An hour later, Lin Bai, who had been sitting cross-legged, happily opened his eyes.
"Master, I've broken through!"
As soon as he completed the first level of the Azure Lotus Sword Manual, his stagnant cultivation, as if finding a breach, surged out violently, breaking through the realm barriers with accumulated power.
"Early Qi Refining, Mid Qi Refining, Late Qi Refining, Peak Qi Refining!"
"Early Foundation Establishment, Mid Foundation Establishment, Late Foundation Establishment, Peak Foundation Establishment!"
It only stopped at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Peak Foundation Establishment!"
Seven realms advanced in a single breath!
As Lin Bai finished speaking, celestial phenomena descended, and azure lotuses sprang from the ground. One after another, azure lotuses gathered at Lin Bai's feet, constantly cleansing his body.
The phenomena and azure lotuses dissipated after a while. At this moment, Lin Bai felt like he had been reborn.
At this moment, I feel like reciting another poem.
"Ten years have passed in vain."
"Suffered much cold looks and scolding."
"One day, the divine physique finally awakens."
"Azure lotus enters the body, realm broken."
"Not bad, the sword physique is activated, and the realm has continuously broken through."
"As expected of the disciple chosen by the system, breaking through realms is as easy as drinking water, but still a bit lacking compared to me."
Just as Lin Bai was about to say something, a powerful sword intent came from the back mountain.
"Master, is it a sword dao senior of the sect practicing swordsmanship in the back mountain?"
"Such a strong sword intent!"
Senior Brother Shi Hao asked, guessing that it should be a sword dao senior who had returned from traveling.
Feng Qingyang sensed it with his divine consciousness. It turned out to be a change in the Sword Burial Ground. He then looked at Lin Bai, who had awakened his sword physique, and understood, so he smiled without saying anything.
Just as Shi Hao and Lin Bai were still marveling at this powerful sword intent,
A three-foot-long azure blade pierced through the air, its sword intent sharp and piercing. It circled around Lin Bai a few times and then steadily landed in his hand.
"Master, this..."
It turned out that the powerful sword intent was emanating from this sword.
"Azure Lotus Divine Sword!"
The knowledgeable Leng Bingning exclaimed in surprise once again.
She had seen this sword in a sword manual. It was precisely the sword of the Sword God mentioned earlier. But hadn't this sword disappeared along with the Sword God's fall in the ancient times? Why would it appear here?
"Oh, Miss Leng recognizes this sword?"
Seeing that Leng Bingning had spoken the name of the sword, Feng Qingyang asked.
He didn't recognize the sword either, only knowing that the system had introduced the Sword Burial Ground as burying countless swords from all the heavens.
"Yes, I once accidentally saw this sword in a sword manual. Its name is Azure Lotus Divine Sword, and it was the personal sword of the Sword God in the ancient times."
"This sword slaughtered saints and cleave emperors in the Sword God's hands, ranking first in the sword manual!"
"Coincidentally, that Sword God was also an Azure Lotus Sword Physique, so he named his personal sword Azure Lotus Sword."
"Not bad, this sword was accidentally obtained by my Azure Cloud Sect in the ancient times. It seems it has a connection with my disciple and flew over on its own," Feng Qingyang said without even blushing.
"Ancient times! Tens of millions of years ago, this Azure Cloud Sect is indeed a hidden great sect, a powerful force with tens of millions of years of inheritance! No wonder the sect has such a profound foundation."
In fact, half of what Feng Qingyang said was true and half was false. The Azure Cloud Sect had indeed been passed down for tens of millions of years, but it could only be described as barely surviving. Who could understand the bitterness in its heart?
"Disciple, you heard it too. Since this divine sword has a connection with you, then I will give it to you as an entry gift from your master."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Master, rest assured, I will definitely not disgrace the reputation of this sword and the Sword God!"
"Azure Lotus Sword..."
"From now on, let you and me protect the sect and our loved ones together."
Lin Bai muttered to himself while feeling the sword's body with his hand.
From this moment on, the story belonging to me, Lin Bai, begins...
The divine sword seemed to have a spirit and also began to hum softly, as if responding to Lin Bai.
Ancestor Li Qingyun, however, was depressed.
He had already gotten used to the celestial phenomena that appeared in the sect every two or three days; it could be said he was numb to them.
Back in the day, when he cultivated, he didn't have such good talent. He relied on one tribulation after another, one lucky encounter after another, fighting his way to the Great Emperor Realm.
When he descended to the Sword Burial Ground in the back mountain, he sensed it immediately. At first, he didn't know what it was and thought it must have been something the Sect Master had acquired.
But as the powerful sword intent within erupted, he was drawn over. He saw the many precious swords buried inside, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get close, only able to look on with envy.
Seeing the new disciple taken in by the Sect Master cause such a phenomenon, and then the divine sword automatically flying over, he couldn't hold it in anymore.
"In the end, is my Great Emperor Realm unworthy?..."
