Qi Hong is worthy of being a disciple of the Sword Master. He has actually cultivated two high-grade ghost-level swordsmanship, four mid-grade ghost-level swordsmanship, and five low-grade ghost-level swordsmanship.
The two top-grade ghost-level sword techniques are the "Mountain and River Sword Technique" and the "Nine Stars Ringing the Moon Sword", which can be described as extremely mysterious and infinitely powerful.
Even if Zhang Ruochen absorbed Qi Hong's knowledge of swordsmanship and spent a month, he could only practice the Nine-Star Ring-Moon Sword to a state where he could master it and be able to exert its great power.
As for the mountain and river swordsmanship, Zhang Ruochen had already reached a very proficient level, but he could only exert a small amount of power.
According to Zhang Ruochen's analysis, Shanhe Sword Technique is not just a sword technique, but also has the power of the holy way.
In this world, every plant, tree, mountain and water, as long as they exist, must have a certain reason.
Within the doctrine, there is the holy way.
The monks must understand the mountains and rivers, understand the holy way contained in the mountains and rivers, and reach a certain level before they can use the mountains and rivers sword technique to exert its great power.
Most monks will only begin to comprehend the holy way and reach the semi-saint realm after reaching the ninth transformation of fish and dragon.
"Whoosh!"
A dragon shadow leaped from a distance, condensed into a slender and graceful figure, and stood in front of Zhang Ruochen.
Ao Xinyan clasped her hands in front of her chest and said: "Team leader, I'm afraid the Jiezi Banquet is about to start, and we should go out. If we go too late, the people from the Demon Sect will think that we are afraid of them."
Zhang Ruochen stopped rehearsing his sword moves, put Shen Yuan's ancient sword flat in his hand, looked at the sword in his hand, and smiled to himself: "If I hadn't agreed to Ouyang Huan, I really wouldn't have wanted to attend the Jiezi Banquet."
Zhang Ruochen had no interest in becoming a Jiezi at all, and he had no interest in the Jiezi Banquet. However, he agreed to Ouyang Huan's invitation to fight, so he had to go.
In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that he was not mature enough and was too young and energetic.
Young people, who doesn’t have any passion in their heart?
In that situation, facing Ouyang Huan, standing opposite an equally outstanding young man, the pride in Zhang Ruochen's heart did not allow him to back down at all.
Now that you have agreed, what if you go to the Jiezi Banquet?
Zhang Ruochen and Ao Xinyan walked together and walked out of the retreat stone room.
As for Huang Yanchen, he had already gone to the Jiezi Banquet first.
"There are so many talented people in the Kunlun world. I really want to know how the talented lady of the holy book will host this banquet?" Ao Xinyan's lips curled up, naturally she was still looking forward to it.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen stopped and looked into the distance, with a look of wonder in his eyes, and said, "It's really a big deal. Is this the real holy relic?"
Ao Xinyan followed Zhang Ruochen's gaze and looked over, her pupils dilated and she was shocked.
I saw that outside the city of Shentai City, at some point, a huge mountain of books stood up.
That's right.
It is a mountain formed by stacking books one by one.
The mountain is more than 3,000 meters high. Halfway up the mountain, there are wisps of white cloud bridges floating in the air, making Shushan like a fairyland, looming.
I don’t know how many billions of books are needed to pile up such a huge mountain?
Anyone who sees such a scene will be shocked, and a feeling of worship will arise in their hearts.
Looking from a distance, one can vaguely see that there are already many monks climbing Shushan, rushing towards the top of the mountain.
Below the mountain of books, it can be said that it is overcrowded with people. You can see monks wearing different clothes everywhere, and many of them are half-humans with rather strange looks.
The gods are like half-human tribesmen. They are very tall, about seven or eight meters tall. Their legs are like pillars and their ears are like cattail fans.
Most of the Xianghu half-human clan members are women. They wear revealing clothes and have very charming looks. Just a slight blink of the eyes can make a man's bones feel numb.
…
Zhang Ruochen and Ao Xinyan stood on the outside, unable to get close to Shushan at all, so they could only walk slowly step by step.
At this time, an inner disciple of Liangyi Sect saw Zhang Ruochen's figure and immediately shouted: "Look, that's Senior Brother Lin Yue, Senior Brother Lin Yue is here!"
The eyes of countless people around him all looked towards Zhang Ruochen, and many people showed excited expressions, as if they had met their idol.
In the past month, Lin Yue's name has spread, and everyone knows that he is a powerful figure, who has defeated two masters of the Demon Sect in a row. He even dared to challenge Ouyang Huan.
Therefore, everyone stepped back to make way for Zhang Ruochen.
Arriving at the foot of Shushan, Zhang Ruochen finally felt a huge holy power emanating from the inside of the mountain, making him feel extremely small.
On the top of the mountain, you can faintly see the figure of the talented woman with holy books.
A familiar voice sounded to the right of Zhang Ruochen: "The Mountain of Books is a pile of 397.8 million scrolls used by the Holy Book Lady. Each scroll is engraved with formation inscriptions."
.The entire mountain of books is like a big formation."
Zhang Ruochen turned around and saw that the person standing on his right was Huang Yanchen wearing a tight-fitting military robe, with sapphire blue hair extending from the top of his head to his waist.
What she just said was what she said.
"The skills of the Holy Book Talented Girl are indeed quite remarkable. No wonder the Queen sent her to select the Nine Realms." Ao Xinyan sighed.
Huang Yanchen said: "The Jiezi Banquet is not only to select the nine Jiezi, but also to examine the younger generation of the Kunlun world. How many talented people are hidden in it? Wait and see, I am afraid there will be many powerful people tonight.
Characters will appear, and some previously unknown people will surely become famous throughout the world through the Jiezi Banquet."
"On Shushan, there are a total of fourth-class seats."
"At the bottom of the mountain of books, there are 18,000 seats, called the 'seats of outstanding figures'. Anyone who can sit firmly on any seat without being knocked down by other challengers can be regarded as a distinguished person and is qualified.
Become a guest at the Jiezi Banquet."
Zhang Ruochen looked towards the mountain of books, and sure enough he saw densely packed seats at the bottom of the mountain. Some were located hundreds of meters high, while others were set up tens of meters high.
Moreover, each seat has a different number.
Obviously, even if there are 18,000 outstanding individuals, they are all ranked in order. The higher you go, the higher the ranking.
Looking from a distance, Zhang Ruochen saw that Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi were competing with a large number of monks for two positions on the Throne of Distinguished Persons. Even with their talent and cultivation, they were fighting very hard and could not move the positions.
Sit tight.
Just the seat of distinction is already so difficult to compete for, what about the higher position?
Huang Yanchen added: "Above the Throne of Heroes, halfway up the Shushan Mountain, there are three thousand seats, which are called the 'Tianjiao Seats'. Obviously, the talented lady of the Holy Book wants to take advantage of the opportunity of the Jiezi Banquet to select
The top three thousand geniuses in the Kunlun world."
"I'm afraid that after the Jiezi Banquet, only these three thousand people in the entire Kunlun Realm will dare to call themselves Tianjiao. If other monks call themselves Tianjiao, they will definitely be laughed at."
"However, it is obviously very difficult to get a place among those 3,000 seats. You must rely on hard power to pass through the 18,000-person barrier and work your way up step by step."
Three thousand positions may seem like a lot, but in fact, when spread over the entire Kunlun world, they are very few.
A member of a saintly family may not be able to earn a position.
Huang Yanchen continued: "Further up, there are one hundred and eight seats, which are close to the top of the mountain of books. They are called the 'King's Seats'. Everyone who can sit firmly in the seat can be called a young king."
