After all the competitions today ended.
Whoosh…
Fairy Lingyue, with her hands behind her head, leaned on the chair and let out a long sigh somewhat boredly, and then said：
“The True Martial Sword Champion Conference is not as strict in the selection of cultivators as the Golden Scale Conference.”
“Many cultivators, although they have also broken through to the Sky-Watching Realm, their real combat power is mediocre.”
“Especially in True Martial Heaven, some Transcendent Realm cultivators who have been piled up with natural treasures in recent years have very unstable foundations.”
Xu Taiping nodded and said：
“The Transcendent Realm cultivators in True Martial Heaven are now very strong in some cases and very weak in others. Their accumulation is far inferior to that of the other few worlds.”
“Sixty years is still too short.”
“If True Martial Heaven is given another sixty years, I’m afraid the situation will be very different.”
When Fairy Lingyue heard Xu Taiping speaking up for the cultivators in True Martial Heaven, she immediately smiled and said：
“What, Taiping, are you thinking of performing well tomorrow？”
Xu Taiping did not deny it.
His gaze looked at the already empty Sword Flat below, and then his eyes became firm as he said：
“Anyway, it is the land of True Martial Heaven that has nurtured me. Wherever I can do my best, of course I have to do more.”
Although his current identity is a disguise.
But this does not prevent him from being a cultivator in True Martial Heaven.
Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue suddenly stood up and also looked down at the Sword Flat and said：
“As far as I know, among the group of cultivators where you are tomorrow, except for you and Bai Di, the several cultivators on the side of True Martial are basically mediocre in combat power.”
“On the contrary, there are quite a few Huajing cultivators from several other heavens and earths who have good combat power.”
When she said this, Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with a sly smile and said：
“Are you feeling a bit of pressure？”
Xu Taiping gently exhaled a breath, and then looked at Fairy Lingyue with a smile and said：
“I haven’t really fought with anyone for a long time, and I’m indeed a little nervous.”
During those decades in the Jinting Cave Heaven, although his cultivation base has been advancing all the time and the realm of the Wangtian Realm is also slowly stabilizing.
But there has never been a real life-and-death battle.
Youdaoplaceholder0 on the Ten Thousand Evils Peak, the comparison between him and several evil people because both sides suppressed their own combat power, so strictly speaking, it couldn’t be regarded as a real competition.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Xu Taiping is worried that his combat power will decline.
Fairy Lingyue giggled and put her arm around Xu Taiping’s shoulder and said：
“Let’s go, let’s go. Don’t think so much. Tonight, you must accompany your sister and me to have a good drink！”
Although Xu Taiping was very worried himself, in the eyes of Fairy Lingyue, apart from those old fellows in the Jingtian Realm, there were very few cultivators of the same realm who could really fight against Xu Taiping.
Nowadays, Xu Taiping no longer needs to go all out even when facing an ordinary opponent like he did during the Golden Scale Association.
……
The next day.
Nine Mansions, Qilin Peak.
On the viewing platform where the Lord of the Nine Mansions and a group of elders were located.
Seeing that the first group of sword questions today was about to begin, but the spectators on the viewing platform of Xizhou Yunlou on the sword flat were scattered. The Lord of the Nine Mansions couldn’t help but frown and said：
“Huangque, why are there less than half of the cultivators watching the battle in the dojo today?”
Huangque said helplessly when he heard the words：
“Lord, except for Cui Tiegǔ and Dugu Qingxiao yesterday, almost all the cultivators of True Martial Heaven lost. Therefore, many cultivators of True Martial Heaven are not willing to spend that Jinjing money to come and watch the battle anymore.”
As he spoke, he picked up the spirit mirror in his hand again and handed it to Liu Chuxuan with a melancholy face and said：
“Look, even the number of cultivators using the spirit mirror to watch the battle has decreased by nearly two-tenths.”
Although the True Martial Sword Champion Association is a grand event participated by the cultivators of the five directions of heaven and earth.
But the ones who actually come to watch the battle are still the cultivators of True Martial Heaven.
After all, those cultivators who are willing to travel thousands of miles across a side of heaven and earth to come are very few.
Liu Chuxuan saw that the number of onlookers in the spirit mirror had decreased by one-third, and couldn’t help but frown tightly, saying very painfully：
“Not only have half of the monks who came to watch the battle disappeared, but also a large number of monks watching the battle in the spirit mirror have suddenly decreased. If this continues, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to earn back the capital our nine prefectures spent on preparing this Sword Champion Meeting！”
Although the True Martial Sword Championship is a grand event used to find an inheritor for the True Martial Great Emperor, the amount of gold essence coins consumed by the Nine Mansions during the preparation of this event is real.
If it really can’t make back the cost, I’m afraid he, the Mansion Lord, will have to be replaced.
Liu Chuxuan immediately asked the Yellow Sparrow：
“What method is there to make the True Martial Heaven cultivators take the initiative to enter the arena and watch the battle？”
The Yellow Sparrow said with a long face：
”Lord Prefecture, it’s useless. Who would be willing to watch the True Martial Heaven cultivators lose nine out of ten battles?”
Not to mention other cultivators, even he, Huangque, was exhausted from watching the several groups of sword-questioning trials yesterday.
Huangque pointed to the spirit mirror in his hand and then continued：
”Now, it depends on whether the following sword-seizing trials and sword-questioning trials can attract more cultivators from other heavens to watch the battles because of the wonderful competitions.”
Liu Chuxuan nodded helplessly when he heard this and said：
“It can only be like this.”
At this point, he suddenly raised his head again and asked the Yellow Sparrow with some curiosity：
“Among the cultivators in these groups today, is there any cultivator that you are optimistic about？”
When the Yellow Sparrow heard this, he immediately extended a finger and tapped on the spirit mirror, then pointed at several names on it and said：
“Other than the freelance cultivator Bai Di in the Celestial Gang Group, the combat power of the other groups is mediocre.”
Liu Chuxuan immediately furrowed his brows and said：
“Just one freelance cultivator Bai Di？”
Seeing that Liu Chuxuan showed signs of getting angry, the Yellow Sparrow immediately explained：
“Lord Prefecture Master, as you know, in order to take care of the cultivators in True Martial Heaven, for those whose cultivation base has broken through to the Sky-Gazing Realm, regardless of their combat power, as long as the sect they belong to is willing to vouch for them, their names will be added to this Swordmaster Ranking.”
After listening to the Yellow Sparrow’s explanation, Liu Chuxuan reached out and rubbed the center of his brows, and then said with a headache：
“No wonder the number of cultivators asking the sword in this Swordmaster Assembly is as many as more than a thousand…”
When saying this, his gaze suddenly landed on a name in the list of cultivators asking the sword in the Celestial Gang Group in the spirit mirror.
Immediately, he pointed at that name and asked the Yellow Sparrow：
“Why do I feel that this person’s name is somewhat familiar.”
The Yellow Sparrow took a closer look and found that the name Liu Chuxuan was pointing at was actually the freelance cultivator Chu Ping’an who had successfully climbed to the top of Myriad Evils Peak a few days ago.
