To put it bluntly, if you can't even learn basic swordsmanship, then there is no need to continue, because there is no point in continuing.
I can't even learn basic swordsmanship, let alone those deeper skills.
However, most cultivators will not be stopped by introductory swordsmanship. Only the fifth elder has not learned it after so many years.
Seeing the fifth elder lowering his head, the elders opposite him sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
"Listen to my advice, quit the Tianji Sect, and be an ordinary person with peace of mind. A cultivator may not be suitable for you."
"Yes, as the saying goes, my talents will be useful. You will definitely shine in other fields. There is no need to waste your time here."
"You have been joining our Tianji Sect for some time, right? But what have you gained during this time? It's just a waste of your time."
"Instead of that, you might as well quit earlier. It will be good for you."
Although the words of these elders are relatively obscure, the fifth elder is not a fool, and of course he can understand what they mean.
To put it mildly, he can shine in other fields.
But to put it mildly, it means that his qualifications are too weak and he is not worthy of becoming a cultivator who is superior to others.
After these elders finished speaking, the fifth elder slowly raised his eyes, eyes full of determination.
"Elders, I am willing to continue practicing and I am willing to make one last effort. I don't want to give up so easily!"
"Because if I give up this time, I will never have a chance in my life. I don't want to be a regretful person!"
"Please elders, please give me another chance and let me fight one last time!"
The fifth elder bent down heavily, his attitude extremely determined.
"Okay, okay, then you can see for yourself. Anyway, we have already said what should be said and what should not be said. You just have to think about it yourself."
"But I suggest you consider our words and don't end up with nothing."
"yes!"
The fifth elder nodded solemnly and left quickly.
Looking at the retreating figure of the fifth elder, the elders on the field sighed.
"Oh, this disciple's hard work and character are indeed good, but unfortunately his qualifications are too weak. How do you think this happened?"
He really doesn't understand, isn't it said that as long as you work hard enough, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle?
But this truth is not revealed at all in the fifth elder. It feels like a paradox!
The other elders sighed.
"There is no way, maybe he is not born suitable for this path."
"Forget it, since he wants to make a final effort and struggle, let's grant it to him. It can also be regarded as fulfilling one of his dreams."
"That's right. If we forcibly expel him from the sect, he will be really ruined."
Originally, according to the rules of the Tianji Sect, the fifth elder should indeed be expelled from the sect.
But his efforts are indeed obvious to all. Since he entered the sect, he has been working hard to practice all the time, and he can't wait to devote all his time to it.
If his qualifications can be like those of other disciples, even if he is just an ordinary disciple, he will definitely have a place among the disciples of Tianji Sect now!
It's a pity that his qualifications are not good at all, and he fails all assessments.
Seeing as he worked so hard, he didn't follow the established rules.
It's just that in every apprenticeship ceremony, the fifth elder failed without any surprise, and no elder was willing to accept him as a disciple.
The reason is very simple. Taking the fifth elder into one's sect is no different from taking on a burden. No one wants this burden.
Finally, the old leader of the Tianji Sect ordered the fifth elder to go to Tianji Pavilion to help organize various historical books and files.
After all, it was already obvious that he couldn't understand any swordsmanship or martial arts.
If you have been doing nothing in the sect and have not achieved anything, then other disciples will definitely be dissatisfied.
So let him go to Tianji Pavilion to help, this is the only thing they can do.
And the Fifth Elder has also become a complete weirdo in the Tianji Sect, that is, he has been in the sect for many years, but he is still only a registered disciple.
In a strict sense, registered disciples are not considered formal disciples of the Tianji Sect, they are just like side branches of a family.
Moreover, everyone in the Tianji Sect has acquiesced in their hearts, that is, the fifth elder will probably only be a registered disciple in this life.
Alas, this is also his sorrow!
But what everyone didn't expect was that the fifth elder had only entered Tianji Pavilion for half a year, and his realm had already broken through to the exaggerated hybrid demon realm!
In the end, the fifth elder seemed to be on the verge of death. With accumulated experience, his cultivation speed was rising rapidly!
Not only did he overcome the obstacle of being a registered disciple and successfully become an official disciple of the Tianji Sect, but he also became the disciple of the No. 2 elder of the Tianji Sect!
More importantly, he was able to achieve excellent results in every sect competition.
Although he would lose to Bai Yu every time, among the disciples of the Tianji Sect at that time, this was already considered very good.
At that time, the Tianji Sect was indeed a gathering of heroes. Whether it was White Feather Dragon Aotian or Zi Shuang Immortal Lord, they were not existences they could provoke privately.
In addition, the Fifth Elder’s reputation in the Tianji Sect before was almost like trash, so being able to do all this shocked everyone!
What shocked them even more was that the fifth elder's fighting style was different from that of any disciple.
It is not as rough as the other disciples when fighting, but it looks very elegant, like art!
At that time, the reputation of the Fifth Elder quickly spread to the Tianji Sect, and was well known throughout the Beidou Star Territory.
Because the avenue of knowledge he cultivated is not part of the Three Thousand Avenues, or to be more precise, knowledge is not an ordinary avenue at all.
In the end, people realized that the Fifth Elder had reached the realm of saints through reading.
He can memorize almost all the books in Tianji Pavilion, and he is even more familiar with them than the resident elders of Tianji Pavilion.
At the same time, the fifth elder also showed another talent, that is resourcefulness!
In the previous war between the human race and the demon race, the Tianji sect suffered less losses than other sects.
On the one hand, it is because of the strong foundation and strength of Tianji Sect, and on the other hand, it is because of the five elders who are secretly helping.
In other words, other sects strive for strength and foundation, while the Tianji Sect strives for brains.
In this way, how can other sects compare?
It can only be said that young people should not be bullied into poverty. No one would have thought that a useless disciple would change so much!
